[0015] An embodiment of the present disclosure will be described. Note that the present disclosure is not limited to the following embodiment. Note that in the following drawings, the same parts are assigned the same reference numerals. Furthermore, the descriptions of the embodiments can be used interchangeably unless otherwise specified. Furthermore, the configurations of the embodiments can be combined unless otherwise specified. Furthermore, in each procedure described below in the program of the present disclosure, for example, "procedure" can be read as "processing."

[0016] [Embodiment 1] A seat reservation assistance program, a seat reservation assistance device, and a seat reservation assistance method according to the present disclosure will be described.

[0017] First, an example of the seat reservation assistance program of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

[0018] The information transmission procedure transmits information about a boarding section to a server device (S11). The server device, for example, is a seat reservation management device disclosed herein, which will be described later. The information about the boarding section is, for example, an arbitrary boarding section designated by a user, such as a boarding date and time and a boarding section. The boarding section is, for example, a boarding section of a vehicle such as a train, bus, or airplane. The information transmission procedure, for example, further transmits seat transfer availability information. The availability information is, for example, information determined by a user. For example, when the seat transfer is a seat transfer between multiple vehicles, which will be described later, and the seat transfer availability information indicates that the seat transfer is permitted, the information transmission procedure may transmit tolerance information about a waiting time associated with transferring vehicles. The tolerance information is not particularly limited and may be any information designated by a user, such as the shortest time, within X minutes, at least X minutes, or between X and Y minutes. The information transmission procedure, for example, further transmits reservation information based on seat information selected based on the vacant seat information to the server device.

[0019] Next, the information display procedure displays the vacant seat information acquired from the server device (S12). The vacant seat information includes, for example, vacant seat information for seats that involve seat changes within the travel section. The seat changes may include, for example, seat changes within the same car or between multiple cars. The seat changes within the same car may be, for example, seat changes within a single car or between multiple cars. The vacant seat information may further include, for example, vacant seat information for a partial section within the travel section. For example, if the travel section is "A to D," this means vacant seat information for "A to B" and "C to D" when there are no vacant seats in the entire travel section even if there is a seat change within the same car or between multiple cars, such as "A to B: vacant seats available," "B to C: no vacant seats," and "C to D: vacant seats available." For example, if there are vacant seats within the travel section without seat changes, the information display procedure further displays vacant seat information for a single seat as the vacant seat information. For example, when the travel section is from "A to D" and a single seat is "A to D: available seats," this means available seat information for "A to D." For example, when there are no available seats in the travel section that do not involve a seat change and the availability information indicates that the seat change is permitted, the information display procedure displays available seat information for the seat that involves a seat change. Note that, when the seat change involves a seat change between the multiple cars, transfer-related information for the point where the vehicle change will take place may also be displayed. Examples of the transfer-related information include information about waiting areas at the point, tourist information, and facility information such as restaurants. Furthermore, when the availability information indicates that the seat change is not permitted, information indicating that there are no available seats is displayed. For example, the information display procedure further displays reservation confirmation information that is confirmed based on the reservation information obtained from the server device.

[0020] Next, an example of the seat reservation assistance device of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0021] Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of a seat reservation assistance device 10 (the present device 10) of the present disclosure. As shown in Fig. 2, the present device 10 includes an information transmission unit 11 and an information display unit 12. Although not shown, the present device 10 of the present disclosure can be connected to a seat reservation management device of the present disclosure, which will be described later, via a communication network 30.

[0022] The device 10 may be, for example, a single device including the above-described units, or a device in which the units can be connected via a communication network. The device 10 can also be connected to an external device (described later) via the communication network. The communication network is not particularly limited and any known network can be used, for example, a wired or wireless network. Examples of the communication network include the Internet, the World Wide Web (WWW), a telephone line, a Local Area Network (LAN), a Storage Area Network (SAN), a Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN), a Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWA), and a Local 5G (L5G). Examples of wireless communication include Wi-Fi (registered trademark), Bluetooth (registered trademark), Local 5G, and LPWA. Examples of the wireless communication include direct communication between devices (Ad Hoc communication), infrastructure communication, and indirect communication via an access point. The device 10 may be incorporated into a server as a system. Furthermore, the present device 10 may be, for example, a personal computer (PC, for example, desktop or notebook type) on which the program of the present disclosure is installed, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, etc. The present device 10 may be in the form of cloud computing or edge computing, for example, in which at least one of the above-mentioned units is located on a server and the other units are located on a terminal.

[0023] 3 shows a block diagram of the hardware configuration of the device 10. The device 10 includes, for example, a central processing unit (CPU, GPU, etc.) 101, a memory 102, a bus 103, a storage device 104, an input device 105, an output device 106, and a communication device 107. The components of the device 10 are connected to each other via the bus 103 and their respective interfaces (I / F).

[0024] The central processing unit 101 operates in cooperation with other components via a controller (such as a system controller or an I / O controller) and is responsible for overall control of the device 10. In the device 10, the central processing unit 101 executes, for example, the program of the present disclosure and other programs, and also reads and writes various types of information. Specifically, for example, the central processing unit 101 functions as an information transmission unit 11 and an information display unit 12. The central processing unit 101 may include, as a computing device, a CPU, a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), an APU (Accelerated Processing Unit), or a combination of these.

[0025] The bus 103 can also be connected to, for example, an external device. Examples of the external device include an external storage device such as an external database, a printer, an external input device, an external display device, an external imaging device, etc. The device 10 can be connected to an external network (the communication line network) by, for example, a communication device 107 connected to the bus 103, and can also be connected to other devices via the external network.

[0026] The memory 102 may be, for example, a main memory (primary storage device). When the central processing unit 101 performs processing, the memory 102 reads various operating programs, such as the program of the present disclosure, stored in the storage device 104 (described later), and the central processing unit 101 receives data from the memory 102 and executes the programs. The main memory may be, for example, a RAM (random access memory). The memory 102 may also be, for example, a ROM (read only memory).

[0027] The storage device 104 is also referred to as a so-called auxiliary storage device, for example, in contrast to the main memory (primary storage device). As described above, the storage device 104 stores an operating program including the program of the present disclosure. The storage device 104 may be, for example, a combination of a recording medium and a drive that reads and writes from and to the recording medium. The recording medium is not particularly limited and may be, for example, an internal or external type, such as a hard disk (HD), CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, MO, DVD, flash memory, or memory card. The storage device 104 may be, for example, a hard disk drive (HDD) or a solid state drive (SSD) in which the recording medium and drive are integrated.

[0028] In the device 10, the memory 102 and the storage device 104 can also store various information such as log information, information acquired from an external database (not shown) or an external device, information generated by the device 10, and information used by the device 10 when executing processing. In this case, the memory 102 and the storage device 104 may store, for example, information related to the travel section. Note that at least a portion of the information may be stored, for example, in an external server other than the memory 102 and the storage device 104, or may be stored in a distributed manner across multiple terminals using blockchain technology or the like.

[0029] The device 10 further includes, for example, an input device 105 and an output device 106. Examples of the input device 105 include pointing devices such as a touch panel, track pad, and mouse; a keyboard; imaging means such as a camera and scanner; card readers such as an IC card reader and a magnetic card reader; and audio input means such as a microphone. Examples of the output device 106 include display devices such as an LED display and a liquid crystal display; audio output devices such as a speaker; a printer; and the like. In the present disclosure, the input device 105 and the output device 106 are configured separately, but the input device 105 and the output device 106 may also be configured as an integrated device, such as a touch panel display.

[0030] Next, the seat reservation assistance method of the present disclosure will be described.

[0031] The seat reservation support method of the present disclosure can be implemented by referencing the descriptions of the program and seat reservation support device of the present disclosure. The seat reservation support method of the present disclosure is implemented by replacing each "procedure" in the program of the present disclosure with a "step." Specifically, the seat reservation support method of the present disclosure includes an information transmission step and an information display step. The seat reservation support method of the present disclosure can be implemented, for example, using the seat reservation support device 10 of FIG. 2. Note that the seat reservation support method of the present disclosure is not limited to use of the seat reservation support device 10 of FIG. 2.

[0032] [Embodiment 2] The seat reservation management program, the seat reservation management device, and the seat reservation management method of the present disclosure will be described. In addition, the description of each configuration in the second embodiment can be applied to the description of each configuration in the first embodiment, unless otherwise specified.

[0033] First, an example of the seat reservation management program of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

[0034] The information acquisition procedure acquires information about a travel section from a terminal device (S21). The terminal device is, for example, the seat reservation assistance device of the present disclosure. The information acquisition procedure, for example, further acquires the seat movement availability information. The information acquisition procedure may, for example, further acquire the permission information. The information acquisition procedure, for example, further acquires the reservation information based on the seat information selected based on the vacant seat information from the terminal device.

[0035] Next, in the information output procedure, the vacant seat information is output to the terminal device based on the boarding section acquired from the terminal device (S22). Here, the device 20 may, for example, be able to access a vacant seat information database that records vacant seat information for vehicles. As a result, the device 20 can acquire the vacant seat information, for example, by searching the vacant seat information database. The vacant seat information may be acquired by the device 20 or another device connected to the device 20. In the information output procedure, for example, when there are no vacant seats in the boarding section that do not involve a seat change and the availability information indicates that the seat change is permitted, vacant seat information for the seat that involves a seat change is output to the terminal device. In addition, when the seat change involves a seat change between the multiple cars, the transfer-related information for the point where the vehicle change occurs may also be output. Here, the device 20 may, for example, be able to access a transfer-related information database that records the transfer-related information for each station. As a result, the device 20 can acquire the transfer-related information, for example, by searching the transfer-related information database. The acquisition of the transfer-related information may be performed by the device 20 or by another device connected to the device 20. If the availability information indicates that the seat change is not permitted, information indicating that there are no vacant seats is output to the terminal device. The information display procedure further includes, for example, displaying reservation confirmation information that is confirmed based on the reservation information acquired from the server device.

[0036] Next, an example of the seat reservation management device of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0037] Fig. 5 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of a seat reservation management device 20 (the present device 20) according to the present disclosure. As shown in Fig. 5, the present device 20 includes an information acquisition unit 21 and an information output unit 22. Although not shown, the seat reservation management device 20 according to the present disclosure can be connected to the above-mentioned seat reservation support device via a communication network 30.

[0038] The device 20 may be, for example, a single device including the above-described units, or a device to which the above-described units can be connected via the communication network. The device 20 may also be connectable to an external device (described later) via the communication network. The device 20 may be incorporated into a server as a system. The device 20 may also be, for example, a personal computer (PC, e.g., desktop or notebook type) on which a program of the present disclosure is installed, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or the like. The device 20 may be, for example, in the form of cloud computing or edge computing, in which at least one of the above-described units is located on a server and the other units are located on a terminal.

[0039] 6 shows a block diagram of the hardware configuration of the device 20. The device 20 includes, for example, a central processing unit (CPU, GPU, etc.) 201, a memory 202, a bus 203, a storage device 204, an input device 205, an output device 206, and a communication device 207. The components of the device 20 are connected to each other via the bus 203 and their respective interfaces (I / F).

[0040] The central processing unit 201 cooperates with other components via a controller (such as a system controller or an I / O controller) and is responsible for overall control of the device 20. In the device 20, the central processing unit 201 executes, for example, the program of the present disclosure and other programs, and also reads and writes various types of information. Specifically, for example, the central processing unit 201 functions as an information acquisition unit 21 and an information output unit 22. The central processing unit 201 may include, as a computing device, a CPU, a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), an APU (Accelerated Processing Unit), or a combination of these.

[0041] The bus 203 can also be connected to, for example, an external device. Examples of the external device include an external storage device such as an external database, a printer, an external input device, an external display device, an external imaging device, etc. The device 20 can be connected to an external network (the communication line network) by, for example, a communication device 207 connected to the bus 203, and can also be connected to other devices via the external network.

[0042] The memory 202 is, for example, a main memory (primary storage device). When the central processing unit 201 performs processing, the memory 202 reads various operating programs, such as the program of the present disclosure, stored in the storage device 204 (described later), and the central processing unit 201 receives data from the memory 202 and executes the programs. The main memory is, for example, a RAM (random access memory). The memory 202 may also be, for example, a ROM (read only memory).

[0043] The storage device 204 is also referred to as an auxiliary storage device, for example, in contrast to the main memory (primary storage device). As described above, the storage device 204 stores an operating program including the program of the present disclosure. The storage device 204 may be, for example, a combination of a recording medium and a drive that reads and writes from and to the recording medium. The recording medium is not particularly limited and may be, for example, an internal or external type, such as a hard disk (HD), CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, MO, DVD, flash memory, or memory card. The storage device 204 may be, for example, a hard disk drive (HDD) or a solid state drive (SSD) in which the recording medium and drive are integrated.

[0044] In the device 20, the memory 202 and the storage device 204 can also store various information such as log information, information acquired from an external database (not shown) or an external device, information generated by the device 20, and information used by the device 20 when executing processing. In this case, the memory 202 and the storage device 204 may store, for example, information related to the travel section. Note that at least a portion of the information may be stored, for example, in an external server other than the memory 202 and the storage device 204, or may be stored in a distributed manner across multiple terminals using blockchain technology or the like.

[0045] The device 20 further includes, for example, an input device 205 and an output device 206. Examples of the input device 205 include pointing devices such as a touch panel, track pad, and mouse; a keyboard; imaging means such as a camera and scanner; card readers such as an IC card reader and a magnetic card reader; and audio input means such as a microphone. Examples of the output device 206 include display devices such as an LED display and a liquid crystal display; audio output devices such as a speaker; a printer; and the like. In the present disclosure, the input device 205 and the output device 206 are configured separately, but the input device 205 and the output device 206 may also be configured as an integrated device, such as a touch panel display.

[0046] Next, the seat reservation management method of the present disclosure will be described.

[0047] The seat reservation management method of the present disclosure can incorporate the descriptions of the program and seat reservation management device of the present disclosure. The seat reservation management method of the present disclosure is a method implemented by replacing each "procedure" in the program of the present disclosure with a "process." Specifically, the seat reservation management method of the present disclosure includes an information acquisition process and an information output process. The seat reservation management method of the present disclosure can be implemented, for example, using the seat reservation management device 20 of FIG. 5. Note that the seat reservation management method of the present disclosure is not limited to use of the seat reservation management device 20 of FIG. 5.

[0048] [Embodiment 3] The seat reservation system of the present disclosure will be described.

[0049] An example of a seat reservation system according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to the block diagram of Fig. 7. Fig. 7 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an example of a seat reservation system 100 according to the present disclosure.

[0050] The seat reservation system 100 of the present disclosure includes a seat reservation assistance device of the present disclosure and a seat reservation management device of the present disclosure. In the seat reservation system 100 of the present disclosure, the seat reservation assistance device of the present disclosure and the seat reservation management device of the present disclosure are capable of communicating with each other. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the seat reservation assistance device 10 and the seat reservation management device 20 are connected via a communication network 30. Also, while FIG. 7 shows an example in which the seat reservation assistance device 10 and the seat reservation management device 20 are connected via the communication network 30, for example, other storage devices such as cloud storage may also be connected via the communication network 30 (not shown).

[0051] The seat reservation system of the present disclosure reserves seats taking seat changes into consideration, so even if there is not a single vacant seat in the travel section, it is possible to arrive at the destination by changing seats. This makes it possible to reserve seats that could not be reserved using conventional methods.

[0052] [Embodiment 4] The procedure for making a seat reservation using the seat reservation system of the present disclosure will be described with specific examples using Figures 8A to 8C and 9. Note that, although the present disclosure shows an example using the present device 10 and the present device 20, the present disclosure is not limited to this. Also, although the present disclosure shows an example of reserving a reserved seat on a train, the present disclosure is not limited to this.

[0053] First, a user of the device 10 inputs a desired travel section using the device 10. After the input, the device 10 transmits information about the travel section to the device 20. After acquiring the information about the travel section, the device 20 outputs vacant seat information to the device 10 based on the travel section. Here, the vacant seat information may be acquired, for example, by searching a vacant seat information database that records vacant seat information for vehicles. For example, as shown in FIG. 8A, the vacant seat information is vacant seat information in which there is not a single vacant seat in the entire travel section and seat movement is required. After acquiring the vacant seat information, the device 10 displays the acquired vacant seat information on a display or the like of the device 10. The user determines a seat to reserve based on the displayed vacant seat information, and the device 10 transmits the determined reservation information to the device 20. For example, as shown in FIG. 8A, reservations involving seat movement are possible, such as "Seat D from Station A to Station D," "Seat A from Station D to Station F," and "Seat C from Station F to Station I." Note that, as shown in Figure 8B, if there are no available seats in one car to the destination, a reservation involving seat transfers between multiple cars may be made. Alternatively, as shown in Figure 8C, a reservation may be made for "Seat D from Station A to Station D" and "Seat C from Station F to Station I." In this case, the user can either stand and travel from Station D to Station F, or use a non-reserved seat that does not require a seat reservation. The device 20 confirms the reservation based on the acquired determined reservation information and outputs the confirmed reservation information to the terminal device. This completes the seat reservation involving seat transfers.

[0054] FIG. 9 shows an example of a flow in the seat reservation system of the present disclosure, but is not limited to this. As shown in FIG. 9, after the travel section is transmitted by the device 10, the device 20 checks whether there are any vacant seats. If there are any vacant seats in the travel section that do not involve seat movement, the device 20 outputs vacant seat information based on a single seat to the device 10, and the device 10 can display the vacant seat information. If there are no vacant seats that do not involve seat movement, the information to be output to the device 10 is determined based on seat movement availability information previously obtained from the user. For example, if the information allows seat movement, the device 20 further checks whether there are any vacant seats that involve seat movement. If there are vacant seats, the device 20 outputs vacant seat information for the seats that involve seat movement to the device 10, and the device 10 can display the vacant seat information. On the other hand, if there are no vacant seats even if there is information that does not allow seat movement or information that allows seat movement, the device 20 outputs information indicating that there are no vacant seats to the device 10, and the device 10 can display the information indicating that there are no vacant seats.

[0055] [Embodiment 5] The program of the present disclosure may be recorded on, for example, a computer-readable recording medium. The recording medium may be, for example, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. The recording medium is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include random access memory (RAM), read-only memory (ROM), hard disk (HD), flash memory (e.g., USB flash memory, SD / SDHC card, etc.), optical disk (e.g., CD-R / CD-RW, DVD-R / DVD-RW, BD-R / BD-RE, etc.), magneto-optical disk (MO), floppy disk (FD), etc. Furthermore, the program of the present disclosure (also referred to as, for example, a programming product or program product) may be distributed from, for example, an external computer. The "distribution" may be, for example, distribution via a communication network or via a device connected via a wired connection. The program of the present disclosure may be installed and executed on the device to which it is distributed, or may be executed without being installed.

[0056] Although the present disclosure has been described above with reference to the embodiments, the present disclosure is not limited to the above embodiments. The configuration and conditions of the present disclosure may be modified in various ways that are understandable to those skilled in the art within the scope of the present disclosure.
