[0009] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals denote like or similar structures.

[0010] 1 shows a block diagram of a restaurant recommendation system 10 according to this embodiment. The restaurant recommendation system 10 includes multiple user terminals, including user terminals 101a, 101b, and 101c, and a restaurant information management system 102. Hereinafter, unless there is a need to distinguish between them, the user terminals 101a, 101b, and 101c will be collectively referred to as user terminal 101.

[0011] The user terminal 101 is an information processing device operated by a user, such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal. The restaurant information management system 102 is an information processing device that is communicably connected to the user terminal 101 via a network N such as the Internet, and performs processes such as browsing, searching, and making reservations for restaurant information through the user terminal 101. The restaurant information management system 102 is composed of, for example, a server. The restaurant information management system 102 has a restaurant information DB 1021 in which restaurant information is recorded. The restaurant information is, for example, the restaurant name, the restaurant's location, the type of food and drink provided by the restaurant, and the reservation available date and time. The restaurant information management system 102 has a user information DB 1022. The user information is recorded as the ID and contact information of a user registered for use in the restaurant information management system 102, a reservation history indicating restaurants that have been reserved in the past, and a browsing history such as information on restaurants that have been viewed in the past using the restaurant information management system 102.

[0012] The computers that make up the user terminal 101 and restaurant information management system 102 are configured, like general computer hardware, to include a control device equipped with a CPU, etc., a storage device equipped with semiconductor memory, etc., an input device consisting of a touch panel, a mouse, etc., and a communication device equipped with various communication interfaces.

[0013] 2 shows a block diagram of the user terminal 101. The user terminal 101 has a communication unit 1011, a memory unit 1012, a display device 1013, a search screen display unit 1014, and a recommended screen display unit 1015. The communication unit 1011 controls communication between the user terminal 101 and the restaurant information management system 102. The memory unit 1012 records information necessary for processing in the user terminal 101. The memory unit 1012 stores an application program that causes the user terminal 101 to execute control as the search screen display unit 1014 and the recommended screen display unit 1015. The display device 1013 is a display of the user terminal 101.

[0014] The search screen display unit 1014 performs a search screen display process for displaying on the user terminal 101 a search screen on which the user can input information for searching for restaurants in order to view information on restaurants.

[0015] The recommended screen display unit 1015 performs a recommended screen display process to display a recommended screen that displays information on recommended restaurants that are recommended for the user to view, based on a browsing history indicating restaurants that the user has previously viewed information on. Here, the restaurants that the user has previously viewed information on include restaurants that the user viewed information on during a past search, restaurants that the user viewed information on without searching, and restaurants that the user made a reservation and viewed information on when making the reservation.

[0016] The processing in the restaurant recommendation system 10 will be described with reference to Fig. 3. Here, an example is shown in which a user operating the user terminal 101 starts an application stored in the user terminal 101 and searches for restaurants.

[0017] In step S301, the search screen display unit 1014 acquires a search screen display request from a user. The search screen display request is acquired, for example, by selecting a search icon, which is displayed on the user terminal and will be described later.

[0018] In step S302, the search screen display unit 1014 displays a search screen on the display device 1013. An example of the search screen 401 is shown in FIG.

[0019] The search screen 401 has a keyword input field 4011, a location input field 4012, a genre input field 4013, a scene input field 4014, a date input field 4015, a time input field 4016, a number of people input field 4017, and a search execution button 4018. In addition, an operation area T is provided in the area below the search screen 401. A home icon I1, a search icon I2, a bookmark icon I3, a reservation icon I4, and a My Page icon I5 are displayed in the operation area T. The operation area T is also displayed in the area below the recommended screen 501 when the search screen 401 is switched to a recommended screen 501 described later during the startup of an application. The user can switch information displayed on the display device 1013 by selecting the home icon I1, the search icon I2, the bookmark icon I3, the reservation icon I4, and the My Page icon I5. In the example of FIG. 4, the search screen 401 is displayed as a result of the selection of the search icon I2.

[0020] The keyword input field 4011 is an input field in which the user can input a keyword related to the store name or restaurant. The location input field 4012 is an input field in which the user can input the location (area) of the restaurant that the user wants to search for. The genre input field 4013 is an input field in which the user can input the genre of the restaurant that the user wants to search for. The scene input field 4014 is an input field in which the user can input the scene (welcome party, birthday celebration, etc.) in which the user will use the restaurant. The date input field 4015 is an input field in which the user can input the date in which the user will use the restaurant. The time input field 4016 is an input field in which the user can input the time in which the user will use the restaurant. The number of people input field 4017 is an input field in which the number of people expected to use the restaurant. The user inputs appropriate information into each of the above input fields and selects a search execution button 4018, whereby the search information is transmitted from the user terminal 101 to the restaurant information management system 102.

[0021] In step S303, the search screen display unit 1014 transmits the search information acquired from the user via the search screen 401 to the restaurant information management system 102.

[0022] In step S304, the restaurant information management system 102 searches the restaurant information DB 1021 based on the acquired search information.

[0023] In step S305, the search screen display unit 1014 acquires the search results from the restaurant information management system 102.

[0024] In step S 306 , the search screen display unit 1014 updates the search screen and displays the search results on the user terminal 101 .

[0025] In step S307, the recommendation screen display unit 1015 acquires a search screen display request from the user. The recommendation screen display request is acquired, for example, by selecting the home icon I1 displayed on the search screen 401.

[0026] In step S308, the recommendation screen display unit 1015 transmits a request for recommendation information to the restaurant information management system 102.

[0027] In step S309, the recommendation screen display unit 1015 generates recommendation information based on the information recorded in the restaurant information DB 1021 and the user information DB 1022.

[0028] Here, the recommended information is information about recommended restaurants that are recommended for the user to view, based on a browsing history indicating restaurants that the user has previously viewed information about. The recommended information may also be information based on a reservation history indicating restaurants that the user has previously viewed and reserved. The recommended information may also be information based on search conditions used by the user in a search. The recommended information may also be information based on information about restaurants viewed by other users other than the user. The recommended information may also be information based on a browsing history including the location of the viewed restaurant or the genre of food and drink offered by the viewed restaurant.

[0029] In step S310, the recommendation screen display unit 1015 acquires recommendation information from the restaurant information management system 102.

[0030] In step S311, the recommended screen display unit 1015 causes the user terminal 101 to display a recommended display screen.

[0031] 5 shows an example of a recommendation screen 501. The recommendation screen 501 has a recommended restaurant display area 5011, a recommended restaurant display area 5012, and an operation area T.

[0032] The recommended restaurant display area 5011 displays recommended restaurant information 50111 and recommended restaurant information 50112 based on the recommendation information. The recommended restaurant information 50111 is information indicating that the restaurant name is "A Yakiniku" and the restaurant location is "AA Ward...". The recommended restaurant information 50112 is information indicating that the restaurant name is "B Sushi" and the restaurant location is "BB Ward...".

[0033] The recommended restaurant display area 5012 displays recommended restaurant information 50121 and recommended restaurant information 50122 based on the recommendation information. The restaurant information displayed in the recommended restaurant display area 5012 is displayed according to the recommendation information based on restaurant information viewed by other users different from the user. The recommended restaurant information 50121 is information indicating that the restaurant name is "C Pizza" and the restaurant location is "CC Ward...". The recommended restaurant information 50122 is information indicating that the restaurant name is "D Pasta" and the restaurant location is "DD Ward...".

[0034] The user can view detailed information about each restaurant by selecting an area of ​​recommended restaurant information 50111, 50112, 50121, or 50122 displayed on recommendation screen 501. Note that more information may be displayed on recommendation screen 501, and for example, more recommended restaurant information may be viewed as the user scrolls recommendation screen 501.

[0035] For example, when search information and recommendation information are mixed on one screen, in order to secure an area for displaying the search information, the area for displaying the recommendation information is relatively narrow within the screen range of the display device 1013. On the other hand, in the restaurant recommendation system 10, by separating the search screen 401 and the recommendation screen 501, it is possible to secure a sufficient area for displaying the recommended restaurant information, and the recommended restaurant information can be presented to the user in a form that is easier for the user to view.

[0036] The recommendation screen display unit 1015 may cause the user terminal 101 to display a recommendation screen such as a recommendation screen 601 shown in FIG.

[0037] The recommendation screen 601 has an area-specific recommended restaurant display area 6011, a genre-specific recommended restaurant display area 6012, and an operation area T.

[0038] The area-specific recommended restaurant display area 6011 is an area where, for example, information is displayed that recommends restaurants according to the location of a restaurant that the user has previously viewed. The genre-specific recommended restaurant display area 6012 is an area where information is displayed that recommends restaurants according to the genre of food and drink provided by a restaurant that the user has previously viewed.

[0039] The area-specific recommended restaurant display area 6011 has recommended restaurant information 60111 and recommended restaurant information 60112. The recommended restaurant information 60111 is information indicating that the restaurant name is "A Yakiniku" and the restaurant location is "AA Ward...". The recommended restaurant information 60112 is information indicating that the restaurant name is "AA Chinese" and the restaurant location is "AA Ward...". Furthermore, the area-specific recommended restaurant display area 6011 displays text such as "Recommended in AA Ward" so that the user can understand that a restaurant located in "AA Ward" is recommended.

[0040] The genre-specific recommended restaurant display area 6012 has recommended restaurant information 60121 and recommended restaurant information 60122. The recommended restaurant information 60121 is information indicating that the restaurant name is "B Sushi" and the restaurant location is "BB Ward...". The recommended restaurant information 60122 is information indicating that the restaurant name is "E Udon" and the restaurant location is "EE Ward...". Furthermore, the area-specific recommended restaurant display area 6011 displays text such as "Recommended Japanese Cuisine" so that the user can understand that a restaurant that provides food and drink in the "Japanese Cuisine" genre is recommended.

[0041] As in the recommendation screen 601, restaurants can be recommended to users more effectively by classifying information about recommended restaurants according to the restaurant's location and displaying it in a specified area. Also, restaurants can be recommended to users more effectively by classifying information about recommended restaurants according to the genre of food and drink the restaurant provides and displaying it in a specified area.

[0042] As another example of the recommendation screen described above, information about a restaurant reserved by the user may be displayed on the recommendation screen. A case in which reservation information and recommendation information are displayed will be described with reference to Figs. 7 and 8.

[0043] 7, in step S701, user terminal 101 transmits reservation information to restaurant information management system 102. The reservation information is transmitted from user terminal 101 to restaurant information management system 102, for example, via a screen that displays detailed information about the restaurant. The reservation information includes, for example, the reservation date and time and the number of people for which the reservation is made.

[0044] In step S702, the restaurant information management system 102 stores the reservation information. The reservation information may be stored in the user information DB 1022, for example.

[0045] In step S703, the recommended screen display unit 1015 acquires a recommended screen display request. The recommended screen display request is acquired by an operation input to the home icon I1 described above.

[0046] In step S704, the restaurant information management system 102 generates recommendation information.

[0047] In step S705, the recommendation screen display unit 1015 acquires recommendation information and reservation information from the restaurant information management system 102.

[0048] In step S707, the recommended screen display unit 1015 causes the user terminal 101 to display a recommended screen on which reservation information is displayed.

[0049] 8 shows an example of a recommendation screen 801 on which reservation information is displayed. The recommendation screen 801 has a reservation information display area 8011, a recommended restaurant display area 8012, and an operation area T. In this case, by placing the reservation information display area 8011 above the recommended restaurant display area 8012 on the recommendation screen 801, reservation information, which is important information for the user, can be presented to the user in a more prominent manner.

[0050] Based on the reservation information, information about the restaurant reserved by the user is displayed in the reservation information display area 8011 as reserved restaurant information 80111. In the example of Fig. 8, it is displayed that the user has made a reservation at "Restaurant F", the reservation date and time is "Today 19:00", and the number of people reserved is "2 people".

[0051] Recommended restaurant information 80121 and recommended restaurant information 80122 based on the recommendation information are displayed in a recommended restaurant display area 8012. Here, information similar to the recommended restaurant information 50111 and 50122 is displayed.

[0052] By displaying reservation information and recommended restaurant information together as in recommendation screen 801, the user can confirm the reservation, for example, without transitioning to another screen. Recommendation screen 801 is a screen that allows the user to discover a new restaurant without needing to perform a separate search when attempting to make a reservation for a restaurant through restaurant recommendation system 10, and also allows the user to confirm his / her reservation. By allowing the user to confirm the reservation and the information on the recommended restaurants on one screen, the user only needs to check recommendation screen 801 when using restaurant information management system 102, improving user convenience.

[0053] The above-described embodiments are intended to facilitate understanding of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. The elements of the embodiments, as well as their arrangements, conditions, shapes, sizes, etc., are not limited to those illustrated, and can be changed as appropriate. In addition, configurations shown in different embodiments can be partially substituted or combined with each other. [Explanation of symbols]
