Note that when using the service, the user If you already have a user account, enter the basic information of the user. For example, the user inputs login information such as the user ID and password, which are the above-mentioned user identification information. The service can be used by logging in after receiving the required authentication such as In this case, after this authentication, the user terminal may A predetermined user interface may be provided to the server device 200. The timing when the device 100 requests the user for login information is not particularly limited. For example, you may be required to log in before you can view the room availability plan. So, you don't need to log in, but you need to log in when you proceed to make a reservation / payment for the rental. Good too.

[0063] As described above, the basic information of the user includes the user identification information. If the user of this system 1 has a nationality other than Japanese nationality, he / she must present an identification document and The image of the passport may also be registered in the server device 100 as basic user information. The image of the identification card is captured by the camera of the user confirmation information acquisition unit 250 of the user terminal 200. The image is captured using the , transmitted from the communication unit 210 of the user terminal 200, and transmitted over the network NW. The information is received by the communication unit 110 of the server device 100 via the The data are linked and stored in the user data storage unit 121.

[0064] When a user operates the user terminal 200 to access the server device 100, step S The information including the vacant room plan output in 101 is transmitted from the server device 100 to the user terminal 200. When the user terminal 200 receives the information, it displays the vacant room plan on the display operation unit 220. The display (browsing) is performed (step S102).

[0065] The user operates the user terminal 200 to select a vacant room plan for the desired facility. The user can then operate the user terminal 200 to further enter the usage period, purpose, and Enter or select the number of people, gender, etc., and submit the reservation application (reservation request) (Step (P S103).

[0066] FIG. 10 shows a screen (rental period input) displayed on the display operation unit 220 of the user terminal 200. The screen example in Fig. 10 shows the date in a calendar format. The dates of the available period are displayed so that you can check them. In the example screen in Figure 10, the entire loan period is available for use, and the The user operates the user terminal 200 and Users can select the date on which they wish to reserve the facility on a daily basis. If there are multiple facilities available, the user can select the facility for which they wish to make a reservation. In the example screen of FIG. 10, when the user selects the date for which he / she wishes to make a reservation, the reservation date is displayed in a colored frame. The desired date is displayed in a circle. In the example screen of FIG. 10, the user selects the date for which he or she wishes to make a reservation. When the user selects the “Make a reservation” button P10 by tapping or the like, the user terminal 20 0 sends a request to the server device 100 to display a reservation application screen, and the server device 100 Based on the request, for example, information on a reservation request screen shown in FIG. 11 is generated and output, and the user The user terminal 200 transmits the information to the display operation unit 220. A reservation application screen like the example screen in Figure 11 is displayed. When making a reservation, enter or select the "Name of facility to be used", "Period of use", "Purpose", "Number of people", etc. can be done.

[0067] Referring again to FIG. 9, the server device 100 receives a reservation request from the user terminal 200. When the information is received, the rental data management unit 134 refers to the rental data storage unit 123. For example, the reservation request includes The information included in the facility (purpose of use) was compared with the rental conditions set in advance for the facility. By checking the reservation information and checking whether other reservations have already been made, The rental processing unit 135 of the server device 100 judges whether the above confirmation result indicates that the reservation is possible. If so, the reservation is confirmed and the reservation information in the rental data storage unit 123 is updated. For example, The facility status for the period related to the reservation will be marked as reserved, and reservations for the period related to the reservation will be canceled. By suspending reservations for the facility during the period, the facility can be secured (step S105).

[0068] The user who made the reservation request may, at the time of or after the reservation request, The user terminal 200 is operated to perform a settlement process for the payment of the usage fee, and The service provider transmits the information to the server device 100 (step S106). Based on the information received by the device 100, the device 100 can confirm that the payment has been received (step S 107) The method of payment is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, electronic accounts or credit cards of financial institutions. You can pay by card or by points that can be used within this service. The server device 100 may be configured to pay by credit card or electronic money. The information on the vacant room plan may be sent to a reservation site or the like to solicit use of the facility.

[0069] According to the above-described process flow, the user can make a reservation for facility use using the system 1. will be carried out.

[0070] Next, referring to FIG. 12, when a user starts using a facility by using the system 1 of this embodiment, This section explains the process flow when starting (checking in).

[0071] Users who have made a reservation to use a facility will be able to start using the facility on the date and time when they can confirm their user status. When a user visits a check-in location where the device 300 and / or electronic lock device 400 is installed, Such a check-in location may be, for example, a facility that is a detached house. In the case of a hotel, inn, or office building, it is the reception counter. In the case of an apartment or condominium type facility, it is in front of the door to the room you will be using. After the available time has passed, the user operates the display operation unit 22 of the user terminal 200. Operate the key 0 to select unlocking the electronic locking device 400 of the facility (step S201). Here, the user terminal 200 may, for example, be operated in a display manner as shown in FIG. After the operation unit 220 displays the reservation information screen 1300 of the facility, the reservation information screen 130 When the user selects the key icon 1310 in the middle of the screen, the electronic lock device 400 installed in the facility is displayed. The operation screen 1320 is configured to be displayed as a pop-up. 20, a selection button 1330 for “unlock” is displayed, and the user can select the “unlock” By selecting the "Enter" selection button 1330, the electronic locking device 4 of the facility 13, the selection button 1330 is selected and then the selection Button 1330 is shown highlighted.

[0072] When the selection is made to unlock the electronic locking device 400 of the facility, the user terminal 200 A request to start using the facility and user identification information are transmitted to the server device 100 (step S2 02). As described above, the user identification information is entered into the server device 1 by the user terminal 200. This is the user ID of the user used as login information when accessing 00. The user identification information is included in or associated with the start-up request. The user ID is transmitted to the server device 100 together with a request to start using the service. The memory unit 2 of the user terminal 200 is associated with a web browser or an application, etc. If the user ID is stored in the server device 10 as user identification information, the user ID is stored in the server device 10 as user identification information. 0. If the user ID is not stored in the user terminal 200, 200 prompts the user to input a user ID on the display operation unit 220, and The entered user ID is sent to the server device 100 as user identification information together with a request to start using the service. will be done.

[0073] The rental data management unit 134 of the server device 100 receives the above-mentioned request to start using the service and the user identification information. When the information is received, the server device 100 refers to the rental data storage unit 123 and Reservation information for the facility, including the time when the start request and user identification information were received, in the available period The information is compared with the received user identification information (step S203). When the reservation information for the facility associated with the user identification information is confirmed, the server device The device 100 approves the request to start using the facility and proceeds to the next step S204. As a result of the comparison, the reservation information for the facility associated with the user identification information is not confirmed. If not, the server device 100 may ignore the request to start using the service, or Then, information that the request to start using the service was not approved is transmitted to the user terminal 200, and the process is completed. End the flow.

[0074] When the server device 100 approves the request to start using the service, the external device control unit 136 A command for requesting user authentication information is generated and sent to the user authentication device 300 installed in the facility. (Step S204). 0 is the reservation information confirmed in step S203 in the server device 100. User identification device I stored in association with the facility ID or usage category ID of the facility The server device 100 can identify the address by referring to D. A request command for user confirmation information is sent to the user confirmation device 300 of the user confirmation device ID. do.

[0075] When the user confirmation device 300 receives the above-mentioned command requesting user confirmation information, The information acquisition unit 320 acquires user confirmation information (step S205). The user confirmation device 30 transmits the same type of user confirmation information as that registered in the server device 100. 0. User identification information includes face images, irises, retinas, eye blood vessels, palm prints, vein shapes, When a signature or the like is used, the user confirmation information acquisition unit 320 may be, for example, an imaging device. The chair is used, and the user can view the face, iris, retina, blood vessels in the eye, palm print, and vein pattern on the imaging device. Or, if a fingerprint is used as user identification information, In the present embodiment, a fingerprint sensor device is used as the user authentication information acquisition unit 320, and the user The user has the fingerprint sensor device detect his / her own fingerprint. In this way, the user verification device 300 When the user confirmation information is acquired by the user authentication, the user authentication information is transmitted to the server device 100 (step Step S206).

[0076] When the server device 100 receives the user confirmation information from the user confirmation device 300, The user data storage unit 1 stores the user identification information (user ID) in the reservation information of the facility. The user verification information of the user stored in the user verification device 21 and the user verification information acquired by the user verification device 300 are The user confirmation information received from the user confirmation device 300 is collated (step S207). In this example, the user confirmation information is composed of image data, so the stored user confirmation The information is compared with the received user verification information using any known image matching technique. Image matching technology is used to compare the stored user verification information with the received user verification information. The two are compared and judged to be identical based on whether the degree of match meets a predetermined standard. Any processing algorithm may be used, or the data may be used to determine whether Artificial intelligence based on machine learning, including deep learning, may be used. After the device 100 receives the user identification information from the user identification device 300, the system administrator The server device 100 is accessed using an administrator terminal that can access the server device 100. The system administrator checks the stored user authentication information displayed on the administrator's terminal and the received user authentication information. The determination may be made by comparing with the confirmation information.

[0077] The user confirmation information received by the server device 100 is stored in the storage unit 12 of the server device 100. 0 (user data storage unit 121) in association with the user identification information of the user. This is preferable because it is possible to confirm that the user who uses the facility is the same user who made the reservation in advance. If you need to check later whether the received message is correct, It is possible to verify the information by using the verification information as evidence.

[0078] The server device 100 checks whether the stored user confirmation information is the same as the received user confirmation information. If it is determined that the number is one, the process proceeds to the next step S208. If it is determined that the user confirmation information sent and the received user confirmation information are not the same, e.g. The user is informed that the received user authentication information does not match the stored user authentication information. The result is transmitted to the user terminal 200, and this processing flow ends.

[0079] The server device 100 determines whether a user using the user terminal 200 is in the vicinity of the facility. The user terminal 200 is connected to the facility (step S208). The timing of determining whether the user is in the user terminal 200 or not depends on the user of the user terminal 200 and the server device. Whether the user who is associated with the reservation information for the facility stored in the device 100 matches the user who is associated with the reservation information for the facility It may be after, before, or simultaneously with the determination of whether the control The unit 136 detects the user who uses the user terminal 200 based on information acquired from a predetermined detection means. The detection means determines whether the user is in the vicinity of the facility. The electronic terminal may be, but is not limited to, an electronic terminal that emits radio waves. The strength of the radio wave of the wireless communication between the lock device 400 and the user terminal 200 determines whether the electronic lock device The distance between the device 400 and the user terminal 200 is estimated, and the distance is stored in advance in the storage unit 120. If the distance is less than the predetermined distance, the user using the user terminal 200 is in the vicinity of the facility. If not, it is determined that the user using the user terminal 200 is not in the vicinity of the facility. In addition, as a detection means, a device connected to the electronic locking device 400 is A tablet device installed next to the door of the facility may be used. In that case, By acquiring information on the radio wave strength of the wireless communication between the user terminal 200 and the It is possible to determine whether a user using 200 is in the vicinity of the facility.

[0080] The server device 100 determines that the user using the user terminal 200 is in the vicinity of the facility. In this case, the process proceeds to the next step S209. If it is determined that the user is not in the vicinity of the facility, for example, the user terminal 200 The process flow ends by transmitting information to the user terminal 200 that the location cannot be recognized. Complete.

[0081] The server device 100 checks whether the stored user confirmation information is the same as the received user confirmation information. If it is determined that the door is unlocked, the external device control unit 136 generates an unlock command and sends it to the relevant facility. The information is then transmitted to the electronic locking device 400 installed in the facility (step S209). The electronic locking device 400 installed in the server device 100 performs the above step S20 Link it to the facility ID or usage category ID of the facility in question in the reservation information confirmed in 3. The electronic locking device ID can be stored in the server device. The electronic lock device 100 issues a lock to the electronic lock device 400 having the electronic lock device ID thus identified. Send a lock command.

[0082] When the electronic locking device 400 receives an unlock command, it switches the locking mechanism 450 to an unlocked state. Then, the user executes the operation of changing the user's ID (step S210). You will be able to start.

[0083] Following this, the electronic locking device 400 accepts the registration of the user terminal 200 (step The user terminal 200 and the electronic locking device 400 are connected to the user of the user terminal 200. The terminal identification information communication unit 240 and the user terminal identification information communication unit 430 of the electronic locking device 400 and the electronic locking device 400 is configured to be able to communicate with each other. When the user terminal 200 is brought close to the electronic locking device 400, the user terminal The identification information communication unit 240 and the user terminal identification information communication unit 430 of the electronic locking device 400 When the first short-distance wireless communication is started, the user terminal identification information of the user terminal 200 is 0 to the electronic locking device 400, and the user terminal identification information is transmitted to the electronic locking device 400. This completes the registration of the user terminal 200 in the electronic locking device 400. do.

[0084] After the user terminal 200 is registered in the electronic locking device 400, the user can use the facility. During the reservation period, the user terminal 200 is brought close to the electronic locking device 400. The electronic locking device 400 can be unlocked simply by communicating with the electronic locking device 400. As a result, the user terminal identification information of the user terminal 200 is transmitted to the electronic locking device 40. After the password is stored in the password field, the user terminal 200 can be used to unlock the electronic locking device 400. At this time, the electronic locking device 400 detects the user terminal 20 that has been brought close. 0 and stores the user terminal identification information in the storage unit 440. If the user terminal identification information of both terminals matches, the locking mechanism The lock mechanism unit 450 performs an operation to unlock the lock mechanism unit 450. For example, the lock mechanism unit 450 performs an operation to unlock the lock mechanism unit 450 after a certain period of time from the unlocking operation. Alternatively, the user terminal may be configured to lock the door when the time has elapsed, or to lock the door when the user terminal is in an unlocked state. The door may be configured to lock when the terminal 200 is brought close.

[0085] The electronic locking device 400 inquires of the server device 100 about the reservation period for the facility and stores it. The user terminal identification information stored in the unit 440 is erased after the usage reservation period has elapsed. In this way, the registered user terminal 200 can be used after the usage reservation period has elapsed. Users will be prompted to leave the facility before they can unlock the facility. In the present system 1, for example, a system administrator can The electronic locking device 400 is remotely operated using a management terminal that can access the electronic locking device 400. The device 400 may be configured to be unlocked. When a user needs to enter the facility after the reservation period has expired, the administrator of system 1 is informed of the The administrator contacts the server device 100 using an administrator terminal that can access the server device 100. The electronic locking device 400 can be remotely operated to unlock the electronic locking device 400. .

[0086] The above-described processing flow allows a user to start using a facility using the system 1. Check-in will take place.

[0087] In the above example, a user who wishes to start using the facility using user authentication information is Whether the user is associated with the reservation information for the facility stored in the device 100 The process flow for additional confirmation will be described with reference to steps S204 to S207 in FIG. As described above, when a user starts using a facility (check-in) using the system 1 of this embodiment, The processing flow is not essential for the process flow when starting to use the facility. The user who makes the reservation is matched with the user who made the reservation in advance using user identification information (user ID). Therefore, the above process flow for confirmation using user confirmation information is executed at the start of facility use. This should be introduced additionally when more precise user verification is required. is possible.

[0088] [Variations] Here, the user starts using the facility (checks in) using the system 1 of this embodiment. A modified example of the process flow when performing

[0089] (Variation 1) The electronic locking device 400 installed in the facility, which has been described with reference to FIG. In the above-mentioned step S209 for transmitting the command, any communication failure, network failure, etc. Due to some reason, the unlock command sent from the server device 100 is not received by the electronic lock device 400.

The user confirmation device 300 cannot be installed in the facility due to location or structural reasons. In the case where the server device 100 is unable to communicate with the user confirmation device 300, The server device 100 obtains user confirmation information from the user terminal 200 and uses the facility. This allows for more accurate identification of users who are about to start using the service.

[0099] As described above, the system 1 of the present embodiment is a management system for managing information regarding rental of facilities. A management server (server device 100) and a management server (server 101) are connected to the facility through a network NW. A facility rental system 1 including an electronic locking device 400 connected to a management server is further connected to a user terminal 200 via a network NW, and the management server A user who uses the user terminal 200 based on a facility use start request from the terminal 200, Does it match the user associated with the facility reservation information stored in the management server? and detecting whether the user terminal 200 is in a non-operational state based on information obtained from a predetermined detection means. It is determined whether the user is in the vicinity of the facility and whether the user terminal 200 is in use. The user who is associated with the reservation information of the facility stored in the management server. and the user terminal 200 is determined to be in the vicinity of the facility. In this case, an unlock command is sent to the electronic locking device 400 installed in the facility. The control unit 130 is configured to perform the above steps.

[0100] According to the system 1 of this embodiment configured as above, a user who has made a reservation to use the facility After the user visits the facility to be used, the user operates the user terminal 200 to enter a request to start using the facility. By simply making a request, the server device 100 can detect in advance the user who made the request to start using the service. Determine whether a user has made a reservation for a facility based on user identification information (user ID). If the user is identified as the user and is in the vicinity of the facility, Therefore, the user can start using the facility at the time of entering the facility. You can now easily use the facilities you have reserved without having to go through the so-called check-in procedure beforehand. can be started.

[0101] Furthermore, in the system 1 of this embodiment, the reservation information for the facility includes a reservation for use of the facility. The user identification information of the user who performed the operation is associated with the user terminal 2. 00 from the user terminal 200 together with a request to start using the service. The control unit 130 receives the user identification information included in the reservation information for the facility and the By comparing the user identification information received from the user terminal 200 with the user identification information received from the The user who is associated with the facility reservation information stored in the management server matches the user who is associated with the facility reservation information. In this way, according to the system 1 of the present embodiment, Since user identification information is used to verify the user, the system 1 can be used to lend the item. This allows the security of the facility to be guaranteed.

[0102] Furthermore, in the system 1 of this embodiment, the The user confirmation device 300 is connected to the management server as a user confirmation device.
