Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] By the way, users of shared spaces such as the above-mentioned meeting rooms may want to re-reserve, that is, make a repeat reservation, for the same time slot as this time. In that case, with the above configuration, the user needs to perform a new reservation operation on the meeting room terminal outside the meeting room. However, to make a new reservation on the above-mentioned meeting room terminal, the user needs to check the future reservation status of the meeting room on the screen and go through a series of reservation processes, and it may be difficult to perform an easy repeat reservation operation. Also, since the meeting room terminal is outside the meeting room, when another user is using the meeting room terminal, the user has to wait for the other user to finish the operation. Therefore, not only is time wasted, but there is also a possibility of being irritated by being kept waiting, and the comfortable repeat reservation operation may be impaired. Conversely, there is also a possibility of keeping other users waiting while the user is using the meeting room terminal. The user may make a mistake in the operation due to impatience, and there is also a possibility that personal information, payment information, etc. may be peeked at by other users. Therefore, a safe repeat reservation operation is not guaranteed in terms of misoperation and security. Therefore, a configuration that allows users to make a repeat reservation of a shared space with easy, comfortable, and safe operations is desired.

[0005] Therefore, the present invention makes it possible to provide a shared space repeat reservation promotion system and a shared space repeat reservation promotion method that enable users to easily, comfortably, and safely make a repeat reservation of a shared space.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] The shared space reservation promotion system according to the first aspect of the present invention includes a shared space terminal disposed inside the shared space and a cloud server wirelessly communicably connected to the shared space terminal. The shared space terminal includes a console screen and a console control unit that causes the console screen to display a console basic screen including at least an image code based on a first console command received from the cloud server. The cloud server includes a reservation management unit that manages reservation information of the shared space, a repeat reservation unit that generates repeat reservation availability information indicating the availability of repeat reservations for future candidate time zones corresponding to the current reservation time zone of the shared space based on the reservation information, a first console command for displaying the console basic screen, a second console command for causing a mobile terminal that has captured the image code of the console basic screen to display a mobile terminal basic screen including an object for a repeat reservation guidance display regarding the repeat reservation of the shared space, and a display command unit that generates a third console command for causing the mobile terminal to display a repeat reservation screen including the repeat reservation availability information in response to a touch operation on the object for the repeat reservation guidance display, and the repeat reservation unit is configured to confirm the repeat reservation of the shared space in response to an operation on the repeat reservation screen.

[0007] The shared space reservation promotion method according to the second aspect of the present invention is executed by a shared space terminal disposed inside the shared space and a cloud server that is wirelessly communicably connected to the shared space terminal. The shared space reservation promotion method includes steps of: the cloud server transmitting a first console command for displaying a basic console screen to the shared space terminal; the shared space terminal displaying a basic console screen including at least an image code on the console screen based on the first console command; the cloud server generating repeat reservation availability information indicating the availability of repeat reservation for a future candidate time zone corresponding to the reservation time zone of the current reservation for the shared space based on the reservation information of the shared space; the cloud server transmitting a second console command for displaying a basic mobile terminal screen including an object for repeat reservation guidance display regarding the repeat reservation of the shared space to the mobile terminal in response to the image code being captured by the mobile terminal; the cloud server transmitting a third console command for displaying a repeat reservation screen including the repeat reservation availability information to the mobile terminal in response to a touch operation on the object for repeat reservation guidance display on the mobile terminal; and the cloud server finalizing the repeat reservation of the shared space in response to an operation on the repeat reservation screen on the mobile terminal.

[0008] According to the first and second aspects described above, a basic mobile terminal screen is displayed on the mobile terminal that has captured the image code displayed on the shared space terminal, and a repeat reservation screen is displayed on the mobile terminal in response to a touch operation on the object for repeat reservation guidance display in the basic mobile terminal screen. A user can make a repeat reservation for the shared space on the repeat reservation screen on the mobile terminal while using the shared space and within the shared space. Therefore, a shared space reservation promotion system and a shared space reservation promotion method are realized that enable a user to easily, comfortably, and safely make a repeat reservation for the shared space.

[0009] In an example of the first and second aspects described above, as the repeat reservation availability information, the repeat reservation availability information for the days after the next week for the same day as the day of the current reservation is preferably included in the repeat reservation screen in a manner in which a repeat reservation can be selected for each of the candidate time slots. Thereby, the user can easily make a repeat reservation for a regular or periodic repeat reservation that depends on the day of the week.

[0010] In an example of the first and second aspects described above, as the repeat reservation availability information, the repeat reservation availability information in units of one week after the next day is preferably included in the repeat reservation screen in a manner in which a repeat reservation can be selected for each of the candidate time slots. Thereby, the user can easily make a repeat reservation for a weekly schedule in the near future.

[0011] In an example of the first and second aspects described above, the repeat reservation availability information displayed on the mobile terminal indicates the availability of repeat reservations for the shared space related to the current reservation and other shared spaces in the same candidate time slot, and the repeat reservation availability information is displayed in a manner in which a repeat reservation can also be selected for other shared spaces. Thereby, when there are a plurality of shared spaces, the user can efficiently make a repeat reservation including alternative shared spaces.

[0012] In an example of the first and second aspects described above, as the repeat reservation availability information, the repeat reservation availability information related only to the schedules for which repeat reservations are possible within a predetermined period is included in the repeat reservation screen in a manner in which a repeat reservation can be selected for each of the candidate time slots. Thereby, the display of schedules for which repeat reservations are not possible is omitted, and the user can efficiently search for repeat reservation available days on a limited screen space.

[0013] In an example of the first and second aspects described above, the candidate time slot is the same time slot as the reservation time slot of the current reservation. Thereby, the user can quickly and easily make a repeat reservation from a minimum amount of information.

[0014] In an example of the first and second aspects described above, the candidate time zone may consist of at least one of the same unit time zone as the reservation time zone of the current reservation, and the unit time zone immediately before and immediately after the reservation time zone of the current reservation. Thereby, the user can consider and execute the repeat reservation flexibly with a certain range of choices.

[0015] In an example of the first and second aspects described above, the repeat reservation guidance display includes information on the availability of repeat reservations for the next week on the same day of the week as the current reservation. Thereby, the user can intuitively decide on the repeat reservation for regular or periodic repeat reservations.

[0016] In an example of the first and second aspects described above, the object of the repeat reservation guidance display includes the shortest repeat reservation possible date, which is the closest schedule on which a repeat reservation is possible. Thereby, the user can intuitively decide on the repeat reservation with respect to the shortest repeat reservation date.

[0017] In an example of the first and second aspects described above, the console basic screen or the mobile terminal basic screen includes an object of an extended use guidance display indicating the availability of extended use of the shared space. Thereby, the user can consider in parallel the choice of whether to conduct further business within the shared space after the next day or during the same day.

[0018] Here, on the console basic screen or the mobile terminal basic screen, it is preferable that the object of the repeat reservation guidance display and the object of the extended use guidance display are arranged adjacent to each other. Thereby, the above consideration can be performed simultaneously in parallel within a narrow field of view, and the user's decision-making is promoted.

[0019] In addition, the object of the repeat reservation guidance display includes information indicating the availability of repeat reservations for the week following the same day of the week as the current reservation or the shortest repeat reservation possible date, which is the nearest schedule on which repeat reservations are possible. The object of the extended use guidance display may include the maximum extendable time, which is the latest time at which extended use is possible. As a result, the informativeness of repeat reservations or extended use is further enhanced, making it easier to compare and consider the progress of the user's work with the available time of the shared space, and further promoting their decision-making.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0021] <Embodiment> FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a shared space re - reservation promotion system 1 (hereinafter referred to as "system 1") according to an embodiment of the present invention. System 1 is applied to a shared space S for time - lending such as a shared booth or a rented conference room. In this embodiment, the shared space S is described as a shared booth. System 1 includes a locking device 2 installed on the door D of each shared space S, a shared space terminal 3 arranged inside each shared space S, and a cloud server 4 (cloud service). Near the locking device 2, an image - capturable code 10 associated with each shared space S is arranged. In this embodiment, since the image - capturable code 10 is a QR code (registered trademark), the image - capturable code 10 is also referred to as "QR code 10".

[0022] The locking device 2 and the shared space terminal 3 are wirelessly communicably connected to the cloud server 4 via a communication network N such as a wireless LAN router WL and the Internet. The locking device 2 is a so - called smart lock (electronic lock), and locks and unlocks the door D in response to a command from the cloud server 4. Also, the user's mobile terminal 5 is wirelessly communicably connected to the cloud server 4 via the wireless LAN router WL and the communication network N or the communication network N only. Furthermore, system 1 can cooperate with an administrator terminal 8 that may be located remotely from the shared space S via the communication network N. Also, system 1 can cooperate with an appropriate schedule management application A such as google calendar (registered trademark) via the communication network N.

[0023] FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of system 1. Since the functional configurations for each shared space S are substantially the same, the configuration for one shared space S is described as representative. As described above, system 1 includes a shared space terminal 3 inside the shared space S and a cloud server 4 on the cloud. And system 1 cooperates with a locking device 2 installed on the door D of the shared space S, the user's mobile terminal 5, the administrator's administrator terminal 6, etc. Also, in the shared space S, lighting equipment 15 and a ventilation fan 16 are installed.

[0024] Generally speaking, in this embodiment, the user uses the shared space terminal 3 in the shared space S to display the basic screen on his / her mobile terminal 5. When the user wants to use the shared space S at the same time zone on a later day, the user can display the repeat reservation screen from the touch operation on the basic screen, and can perform re - reservation of the shared space S, that is, repeat reservation, by the touch operation on this repeat reservation screen.

[0025] The locking device 2 includes a numeric keypad 20, a wireless communication unit 21, a locking mechanism 22, and a lock control unit 23. The numeric keypad 20 is a so - called ten - key type input unit including at least numeric keys from 0 to 9. The wireless communication unit 21 communicates with the cloud server 4 (communication unit 41) via the wireless LAN router WL. The locking mechanism 22 is, for example, a general thumb - turn type electronic lock. That is, the locking mechanism 22 has a mechanism that rotates the thumb - turn (that is, moves the deadbolt forward and backward) in response to the thumb - turn, the deadbolt interlocked with the thumb - turn, and a drive signal from the lock control unit 23 (not shown in each figure). The lock control unit 23 transmits the input number from the numeric keypad 20 by the user to the cloud server 4 via the wireless communication unit 21. The lock control unit 23 moves the deadbolt to the extended position and the retracted position respectively in response to the locking signal and the unlocking signal from the cloud server 4, that is, moves the locking mechanism 22 to the locked position and the unlocked position respectively. Usually, in the cloud server 4, when the received input number matches the preset password number, a locking signal or an unlocking signal is generated so that the locked / unlocked state is reversed. Note that in this embodiment, auto - lock is not used in the locking device 2, and it is assumed that the locking device 2 can be locked and unlocked manually (rotation of the thumb - turn by operating the doorknob) from inside the shared space S.

[0026] The QR code 10 can take any form as long as it is arranged on or near the door D and can be imaged by a general mobile terminal. For example, the QR code 10 may be attached to the door D as a medium (e.g., a paper sheet, a plastic plate, a metal plate, etc., the same hereinafter) on which it is printed or molded, or may be directly printed (e.g., coated, the same hereinafter) on the door D. Further, the QR code 10 may be attached to the housing of the locking device 2 as a medium on which it is printed or molded, or may be directly printed on the housing of the locking device 2. Alternatively, the QR code 10 may be attached to the wall surface to which the doorstop of the door D belongs as a medium on which it is printed or molded, or may be directly printed on that wall surface. Alternatively, the QR code 10 may be attached to the ceiling or floor surface near the door D as a medium on which it is printed or molded, or may be directly printed on that ceiling or floor surface. Alternatively, the QR code 10 may be an optical image projected onto each of the above locations. In the present embodiment, a QR code is used as the imageable code 10, but the imageable code may be another two-dimensional code such as DataMatrix (registered trademark), VeriCode (registered trademark), or may be a one-dimensional code such as a barcode.

[0027] Figure 3 shows a perspective view of the housing 30 of the shared space terminal 3. The housing 30 has a longitudinal direction in the horizontal direction and has a triangular prism shape with a substantially vertical triangle cross-section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The housing 30 has a bottom surface 30a, a back surface 30b perpendicular to the bottom surface 30a, and a front surface 30c connecting the bottom surface 30a and the back surface 30b. Each connecting portion of the bottom surface 30a, the back surface 30b, and the front surface 30c is continuous with a rounded edge. Both side surfaces 30d and 30e, which are the horizontal ends of the housing 30, form a substantially vertical triangle. The longitudinal length of the housing 30 is approximately 30 cm to 40 cm, preferably 35.8 cm ± 1 cm. The height (vertical length) of the housing 30 is approximately 15 cm to 20 cm, preferably 17.1 cm ± 1 cm. The depth (thickness) of the housing 30 is approximately 8 cm to 10 cm, preferably 9.3 cm ± 0.5 cm. However, the outer dimensions of the housing 30 are not limited to the above. Note that since the shared space terminal 3 can be a wall-mounted type, a placement type, etc., a wall mounting structure may be provided on the back surface 30b, or legs (protrusions at the four corners, anti-slip rubber at the four corners, etc.) may be provided on the bottom surface 30a.

[0028] Figure 4 shows a front view (front surface 30c) of the shared space terminal 3. The shared space terminal 3 has a console screen 31, a physical switch section 32, and a sensor section 33. In this embodiment, on the front surface 30c, from the left, the console screen 31, the physical switch section 32, and the sensor section 33 are arranged, but these arrangements or placements are not limited to those shown in the figure.

[0029] The console screen 31 is a liquid crystal display, an OLED display, etc., which displays necessary information according to the situation and accepts the touch operation of the user. The console screen 31 displays, regarding the reservation information of the shared space S, the current time display 31a, the reservation end time display 31b, the extended use guidance display 31c, and the remaining time display 31d (hereinafter, these are also referred to as objects 31a to 31d, respectively). Also, the console screen 31 displays, regarding the environmental information of the shared space S, the noise level display 31e, the CO2 concentration display 31f (or a humidity display 31h not shown) and the temperature display 31g (hereinafter, these are also referred to as objects 31e to 31h). Also, the console screen 31 iconically displays an illumination soft switch 31i and a ventilation soft switch 31j regarding the operation information of the lighting device 15 and the ventilation fan 16 (hereinafter, these are also referred to as objects 31i and 31j). Also, the console screen 31 displays a lock display 31k regarding the operation of the locking device 2 (hereinafter, also referred to as object 31k). Furthermore, the console screen 31 displays an image code display 31z (hereinafter, also referred to as "object 31z").

[0030] The extended use guidance display 31c displays the maximum available time for the extended use of the shared space S where the shared space terminal 3 is arranged. This maximum available time shall be the time within the day. When the extended use of the shared space S is not possible, "Not available" is displayed on the extended use guidance display 31c.

[0031] The value of the remaining time display 31d is the value obtained by subtracting the value of the current time display 31a from the value of the reservation end time display 31b. When this remaining time becomes 60 minutes or less, it is displayed, and the remaining time (unit: minute) is displayed in a countdown manner. Also, as shown in the figure, the remaining time display 31d is displayed together with a predetermined circular graph. The circumference of this graph corresponds to 60 minutes. The moving end (the lower end of the thick-line circumference) indicating the current value of the graph moves counterclockwise and ends at the uppermost position (the position at 0 o'clock). Note that the moving end indicating the current value may move clockwise and end at the uppermost position (the position at 12 o'clock). Also, when the remaining time becomes 1 minute or less, the circumference may be made to correspond to 60 seconds, and the remaining time (unit: second) may be displayed in a countdown manner.

[0032] The lighting soft switch 31i is displayed with black and white inversion depending on whether the lighting device 15 is in the lit state or the extinguished state. For example, when the lighting device 15 is in the lit state, a black-based display is applied, and when the lighting device 15 is in the extinguished state, a white-based display is applied. Similarly, the ventilation soft switch 31j is displayed with black and white inversion depending on whether the ventilation fan 16 is in the operating state or the stopped state. For example, when the ventilation fan 16 is in the operating state, a black-based display is applied, and when the ventilation fan 16 is in the stopped state, a white-based display is applied.

[0033] The lock display 31k displays the locked state / unlocked state of the locking device 2 (the unlocked state in FIG. 4). Also, as will be described later, the initial password for the number key 20 given from the cloud server 4 may also be displayed. By the display of the locked state / unlocked state, the user can easily visually recognize the locked / unlocked state of the door D and avoid unnecessary operations such as confirmation of locking and unlocking of the door D.

[0034] Also, as will be described in detail later, the console screen 31 may also include a repeat reservation guidance display 31r (see FIGS. 8A to 8D). In the repeat reservation guidance display 31r, for the shared space S, for example, when there is an available reservation time in the same time zone as the current reservation or a time zone including the same during a scheduled period after the current day, "Repeat Reservation" or the like may be displayed. Here, the scheduled period after the current day may be one week from the next day, one month, or the longest period (substantially indefinite) that can be set in the calendar. Note that if there is no available reservation as described above in the schedule within the scheduled period, the repeat reservation guidance display 31r may not be displayed.

[0035] The image code displayed in the image code display 31z is preferably a two-dimensional code such as a QR code (registered trademark), DataMatrix (registered trademark), VeriCode (registered trademark), etc. In this embodiment, a QR code is adopted (hereinafter, also referred to as "QR code 31z"). However, this embodiment can also be implemented even if the image code is a one-dimensional code such as a bar code. Also, as shown in the figure, the object 31z may include a display for guiding the reading of the image code by the mobile terminal 5. Other objects will be described later.

[0036] The physical switch unit 32 includes a lighting physical switch 32a and a ventilation physical switch 32b. The lighting physical switch 32a outputs a lighting operation signal in response to a pressing operation by the user, and the ventilation physical switch 32b outputs a ventilation operation signal in response to a pressing operation by the user. These operation signals are transmitted to the cloud server 4. Note that the lighting physical switch 32a is provided with a display lamp 32c such as an LED indicating the current operating state (lighting or extinguishing) of the lighting device 15, and the ventilation physical switch 32b is provided with a display lamp 32d such as an LED indicating the current operating state (operating or stopping) of the ventilation fan 16. The lighting / extinguishing of the display lamp 32c may correspond to the lighting / extinguishing of the lighting device 15, or may correspond to the extinguishing / lighting of the lighting device 15. The lighting / extinguishing of the display lamp 32d may correspond to the operation / stop of the ventilation fan 16, or may correspond to the stop / operation of the ventilation fan 16.

[0037] Here, for the sake of definition, the lighting soft switch 31i, the lighting physical switch 32a, the ventilation soft switch 31j, and the ventilation physical switch 32b are collectively referred to as the switch button. Also, the touch operation on the lighting soft switch 31i, the pressing operation of the lighting physical switch 32a, the touch operation on the ventilation soft switch 31j, and the pressing operation of the ventilation physical switch 32b are collectively referred to as the switch operation, and the signals output by the switch operation are collectively referred to as the switch operation signal.

[0038] The sensor unit 33 includes an environment sensor 33a (strictly speaking, what is shown in the figure is the air intake hole for the environment sensor 33a) and a human presence sensor 33b. The environment sensor 33a detects and outputs the environmental level in the air obtained from the air intake hole. Details of the environment sensor 33a and the human presence sensor 33b will be described later.

[0039] Returning to FIG. 2, each part of the shared space terminal 3 will be described. The shared space terminal 3 has a console screen 31, a physical switch unit 32, a sensor unit 33, a wireless communication unit 34, a switch circuit 35, a control unit 36, a memory 37, and a speaker 38. The console screen 31, the physical switch unit 32, the sensor unit 33, the wireless communication unit 34, the switch circuit 35, the control unit 36, the memory 37, and the speaker 38 are appropriately interconnected via a bus or the like in a manner that enables the exchange of necessary signals, data, or power.

[0040] The environment sensor 33a of the sensor unit 33 includes a noise sensor 331, a temperature and humidity sensor 332, a CO2 sensor 333, and an indoor air quality (IAQ) sensor 334. Various environmental levels within the shared space S are specified by the environment sensor 33a. Note that an atmospheric pressure sensor for detecting atmospheric pressure may be adopted as the environment sensor. The detection signal indicating the detected environmental level is transmitted from the wireless communication unit 34 (wireless communication unit 343) to the cloud server 4 via the wireless LAN router WL.

[0041] The noise sensor 331 detects sound pressure and outputs a noise level (decibel) (hereinafter referred to as the "detected noise level") converted from the sound pressure. The noise sensor 331 may be configured to detect sound pressure in a predetermined frequency range such as the frequency range of human voices (for example, about 100 to 2000 Hz). A detection signal indicating the detected noise level is transmitted from the wireless communication unit 343 to the cloud server 4 via the wireless LAN router WL.

[0042] The temperature and humidity sensor 332 detects temperature and humidity and outputs a temperature value and a humidity value (hereinafter referred to as the "detected temperature", "detected humidity", or "detected temperature and humidity"). Note that the temperature and humidity sensor 332 may be a temperature sensor that detects only temperature and outputs a temperature value, or a humidity sensor that detects only humidity and outputs a humidity value. A detection signal indicating the detected temperature and the detected humidity is transmitted from the wireless communication unit 343 to the cloud server 4 via the wireless LAN router WL.

[0043] The CO2 sensor 333 detects carbon dioxide (CO2) by the NDIR (Non Dispersive InfraRed) method and outputs a CO2 concentration (hereinafter referred to as the "detected CO2 concentration"). Since an increase in the CO2 concentration can be attributed to human respiration, it can be an indicator of the degree of human crowding. A detection signal indicating the detected CO2 concentration is transmitted from the wireless communication unit 343 to the cloud server 4 via the wireless LAN router WL.

[0044] The IAQ sensor 334 detects pollutants and outputs their concentration (hereinafter referred to as the "detected pollution level"). The pollutants to be detected are carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), or volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The sources of pollutants are, in particular, tobacco smoke, or VOCs from formaldehyde, asbestos, dust, exhaust gas, carpets, paints, adhesives, furniture, building materials, etc., pet dander, mold, bacteria, pesticides, herbicides, etc. A detection signal indicating the detected pollution level is transmitted from the wireless communication unit 343 to the cloud server 4 via the wireless LAN router WL.

[0045] The human presence sensor 33b of the sensor unit 33 is an infrared human presence sensor that detects the presence or absence of a human body in the shared space S (or its predetermined detection area). When the human presence sensor 33b detects the presence of a human body, it outputs a presence signal, and in other cases (i.e., when the human body is absent), it outputs an absence signal. Note that the presence signal / absence signal may be a high-level signal / low-level signal, respectively, or a low-level signal / high-level signal, or signal output present / absent, signal output absent / present, or a UART signal. In the present disclosure, the presence signal / absence signal is collectively referred to as a human presence detection signal. The human presence detection signal is transmitted from the wireless communication unit 343 to the cloud server 4 via the wireless LAN router WL.

[0046] The wireless communication unit 34 includes wireless communication units 341 to 343. The wireless communication units 341, 342, and 343 correspond to the console screen 31, the physical switch unit 32, and the sensor unit 33, respectively. The wireless communication units 341 to 343 may be integrated to form one wireless communication unit or may be three separate wireless communication units (in this embodiment, the latter is adopted). Each of the wireless communication units 341 to 343 wirelessly communicates with the wireless LAN router WL under the communication control of the control unit 36 or autonomously. Each of the wireless communication units 341 to 343 is a Wi-Fi unit for performing Wi-Fi (registered trademark) communication in this embodiment, for example, a Wi-Fi device operating at 2.4 GHz (802.11b / g / n).

[0047] The wireless communication unit 341 transmits an operation signal (screen operation signal) resulting from an operation on the console screen 31 to the cloud server 4. This operation signal includes switch operation signals from the lighting soft switch 31i and the ventilation soft switch 31j. Also, the wireless communication unit 341 receives a console command and an audio output command from the cloud server 4. The wireless communication unit 342 transmits a switch operation signal (physical switch operation signal) from the lighting physical switch 32a or the ventilation physical switch 32b to the cloud server 4. Also, the wireless communication unit 342 receives a switch command (lighting command, extinguishing command, operation command, and stop command), which will be described later, from the cloud server 4. The wireless communication unit 343 transmits a detection signal (sensor detection signal) from the sensor unit 33 to the cloud server 4.

[0048] In this way, by providing separate Wi-Fi units for the console screen 31, the physical switch unit 32, and the sensor unit 33, it becomes possible to diagnose the wireless communication state. For example, in the cloud server 4, if a part of the screen operation signal, the physical switch operation signal, and the sensor detection signal is not received, it is presumed that the wireless LAN router WL and the communication network N are normal, but there is a failure in the wireless communication unit corresponding to the non-received signal or the part to which it belongs. Also, in the cloud server 4, if all of the screen operation signal, the physical switch operation signal, and the sensor detection signal are not received, it is presumed that there is a failure in the wireless LAN router WL or a communication failure in the communication network N.

[0049] The switch circuit 35 is connected between an AC power supply AC (for example, a commercial power supply), the lighting device 15, and the ventilation fan 16. Under the control of the control unit 36 (switch control unit 362), the switch circuit 35 connects / shuts off the power supply wiring between the AC power supply AC and the lighting device 15, and connects / shuts off the power supply wiring between the AC power supply AC and the ventilation fan 16.

[0050] Fig. 5 shows a circuit diagram of a wiring example related to the switch circuit 35. The switch circuit 35 consists of a relay switch and has terminals 351 to 354 on the AC power supply AC side, a terminal 355 connected to the lighting device 15, and a terminal 356 connected to the ventilation fan 16. Note that terminals 351, 352, and 353 are connected to each other. The path between terminal 352 and terminal 355 is opened and closed by switch SW5, and the path between terminal 351 and terminal 356 is opened and closed by switch SW6.

[0051] The non-grounded wiring L1 of the AC power supply AC is connected to the non-grounded (hot) side terminal of the plug receptacle 91 (so-called socket). The grounded wiring L2 of the AC power supply AC is connected to one connection terminal of the lighting device 15, one connection terminal of the ventilation fan 16, and the grounded (cold) side terminal of the plug receptacle 91. The other connection terminal of the lighting device 15 is connected to terminal 355 via wiring L5, and the other connection terminal of the ventilation fan 16 is connected to terminal 356 via wiring L6. Terminal 351 is connected to the non-grounded side terminal of the plug 92 via wiring L3, and terminal 354 is connected to the grounded side terminal of the plug 92 via wiring L4. Hereinafter, the description will be made assuming that the plug 92 is correctly connected to the plug receptacle 91.

[0052] The opening and closing of switch SW5 and the opening and closing of switch SW6 are individually controlled by the control unit 36 (switch control unit 362). When switch SW5 is on (closed), the lighting device 15 is powered from the AC power supply AC via the power supply wiring (L1, L3, L5, and L2) and lights up. On the other hand, when switch SW5 is off (open), the lighting device 15 is cut off from the AC power supply AC and goes out. Similarly, when switch SW6 is on (closed), the ventilation fan 16 is powered from the AC power supply AC via the power supply wiring (L1, L3, L6, and L2) and operates. On the other hand, when switch SW6 is off (open), the ventilation fan 16 is cut off from the AC power supply AC and stops.

[0053] FIG. 6 shows a circuit diagram of another wiring example for the switch circuit 35. Components having the same configuration as those in the circuit of FIG. 5 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant descriptions are omitted. A single-phase conductor 94 is connected to the switch circuit 35. The non-grounded wiring L1 and the grounded wiring L2 are connected to the AC power supply AC via a single-phase breaker 93. The wiring L1 is connected to the terminal 351 of the switch circuit 35 and the terminal 941 of the single-phase conductor. The wiring L2 is connected to one terminal of the ventilation fan 16, the terminal 354 of the switch circuit 35, and the input terminal 942 and the control terminal 944 of the single-phase conductor 94. The other terminal of the ventilation fan 16 is connected to the terminal 356 via the wiring L6. The terminal 355 is connected to the control terminal 943 of the single-phase conductor 94 via the wiring L5. The output terminals 945 and 946 of the single-phase conductor 94 are connected to the lighting device 15 via the wirings L51 and 52. Hereinafter, the description will be made on the assumption that the single-phase breaker 93 is in the on (energized) state.

[0054] The opening / closing of the switch SW5 and the opening / closing of the switch SW6 are individually controlled by the control unit 36 (switch control unit 362). When the switch SW5 is on, in the single-phase conductor 94, the control terminals 943 and 944 are powered from the AC power supply AC, and the connection between the input terminal 941 and the output terminal 945 and the connection between the input terminal 942 and the output terminal 946 are established. As a result, the lighting device 15 is powered via the power supply wirings (L1, L51, L2, and L52) from the AC power supply AC and lights up. On the other hand, when the switch SW5 is off, the control terminal 943 of the single-phase conductor 94 is not powered, the connection between the input terminals 941 and 942 and the output terminals 945 and 946 is turned off, and the lighting device 15 is disconnected from the AC power supply AC and goes out. Also, similar to the case of FIG. 4, when the switch SW6 is on, the ventilation fan 16 is powered via the power supply wirings (L1, L6, and L2) from the AC power supply AC and operates. On the other hand, when the switch SW6 is off, the ventilation fan 16 is disconnected from the AC power supply AC and stops.

[0055] In this way, in the configuration of FIG. 6, since the load current to the lighting device 15 does not pass through the switch circuit 35, it is possible to turn on / off a relatively large group of lighting devices without increasing the current capacity of the switch circuit 35 or the shared space terminal 3. Also, by appropriately selecting and expanding the conductor 94, it is possible to perform on / off control of the wiring of the power outlet, small to large air conditioners, etc. Note that the block diagram of FIG. 2 corresponds to the circuit configuration of FIG. 5, but those skilled in the art should be able to apply the circuit configuration of FIG. 6 to the block diagram of FIG. 2 instead of the circuit configuration of FIG. 5.

[0056] FIG. 7A shows a rear view (rear surface 30b) and a side view (side surface 30d) of the shared space terminal 3 (corresponding to the wiring of FIG. 5). FIG. 7B shows a side partial cross-sectional view when the rear surface 30b of the shared space terminal 3 is attached to the wall surface W. The rear surface 30b is provided with a recess 30g for wiring and a hole 30h for wall mounting. The recess 30g has a tapered shape, and the depth (the depth of the recess in the horizontal direction) increases from the upper side to the lower side (toward the bottom surface 30a side). Therefore, the bottom surface 30a has a notch. As shown in FIG. 7B, the wall surface W has wall holes Wh for the wall switches of the lighting device 15 and the ventilation fan 16, and the shared space terminal 3 is attached to the wall surface W so that the recess 30g corresponds to the wall holes Wh. In this way, when the shared space terminal 3 is attached to the wall surface W, the lower part of the recess 30g is open inside the bottom surface 30a, and the upper part of the recess 30g is blocked by the wall surface W and the rear surface 30b.

[0057] In the recessed portion 30g, connection terminal blocks 35a and 35b are arranged. The connection terminal block 35a has terminals 351 and 354 (not shown) on the AC power supply side, and the connection terminal block 35b has terminals 355 and 356 (not shown) on the load side. Therefore, in the case of the wiring shown in FIG. 5, the wirings L3 and L4 are inserted and connected to the connection terminal block 35a, and the wirings L5 and L6 are connected to the connection terminal block 35b. As shown in FIG. 7B, the wirings L3 and L4 extend downward outside the wall surface W from the connection terminal block 35a through the notch portion of the bottom surface 30a, and the wirings L5 and L6 extend into the wall surface W from the connection terminal block 35b through the wall hole Wh. Note that the wirings L3 and L4 may also be wired inside the wall surface W. In the case of the wiring shown in FIG. 6, the wirings L1 and L2 are inserted and connected to the connection terminal block 35a, and the wirings L5 and L6 are connected to the connection terminal block 35b. The wirings L1 and L2 in the case of FIG. 6 can be wired inside the wall surface W. In the wiring shown in FIG. 5, when there are a plurality of systems of lighting devices 15, the wirings L5 of each system are collectively connected to the terminal 355 (not shown) of the connection terminal block 35b. In the wiring shown in FIG. 6, when there are a plurality of lighting devices 15, since the wirings L51 and L52 of each system are connected to the output terminals 945 and 946 of the single-phase conductor 94, the wiring connected to the terminal 355 (not shown) of the connection terminal block 35b of the switch circuit 35 is only the wiring L5.

[0058] In the recessed portion 30g, a power connector 39 (insertion port) for supplying the operating power of the shared space terminal 3 is also provided. A DC power jack (not shown) of an AC / DC adapter is inserted into the power connector 39. Thereby, a DC voltage is supplied to the shared space terminal 3, and the operating power is supplied to each part through an appropriate constant voltage circuit (not shown) inside the housing 30. In this embodiment, the shared space terminal 3 is configured to operate with a DC power supply. However, when an AC / DC converter is arranged inside the shared space terminal 3, an AC voltage (for example, commercial power from a wall outlet) is supplied to the power connector 39. In this case, the power connector 39 can be omitted and an AC cable can be directly connected to the shared space terminal 3. The AC cable, the wirings L3, and L4 may be physically or electrically bundled and wired as one AC cable. Alternatively, a battery may be provided inside the housing 30, and the operating power of the shared space terminal 3 may be supplied from the battery. In this case, the power connector 39 is not required.

[0059] Returning to FIG. 2, each part of the shared space terminal 3 will be further described. The control unit 36 includes a console control unit 361, a switch control unit 362, and an audio output control unit 363. The control unit 36 includes a CPU such as a microprocessor or a microcomputer and its peripheral circuits. In this embodiment, one control unit 36 is shown, but the control unit 36 may be divided into blocks corresponding to the console screen 31, the physical switch unit 32, and the sensor unit 33. In addition to the functions of the above-mentioned each part, the control unit 36 can appropriately execute various general functions (clock function, timing function, communication control function, arithmetic processing function, etc.). The memory 37 includes a ROM for storing programs and the like, and a RAM for temporarily storing data, programs, and the like. In FIG. 3, the memory 37 is included in the control unit 36, but the memory 37 may be outside the control unit 36.

[0060] The console control unit 361 causes a screen based on a console command acquired from the cloud server 4 via the wireless LAN router WL and the wireless communication unit 341 to be displayed on the console screen 31. The console command specifies which of the objects 31a to 31z to display, the display content (such as numerical values, black-and-white inversion, etc.) of each displayed object, the arrangement of the selected object, and the like.

[0061] The switch control unit 362 controls the opening and closing of each switch of the switch circuit 35 based on a switch command acquired from the cloud server 4 via the wireless LAN router WL and the wireless communication unit 342. The switch command includes a lighting command for turning on the lighting device 15 by turning on the switch SW5, a lighting-off command for turning off the lighting device 15 by turning off the switch SW5, an operation command for operating the ventilation fan 16 by turning on the switch SW6, and a stop command for stopping the ventilation fan 16 by turning off the switch SW6.

[0062] The voice output control unit 363 controls the voice output from the speaker 38 based on a voice output command acquired from the cloud server 4 via any one of the wireless LAN router WL and the wireless communication units 341 to 343 (for example, the wireless communication unit 341; the same applies hereinafter). The voice output command includes a voice output command for guidance for a guidance message and a voice output command for warning for a warning message, as will be described in detail later.

[0063] The wireless LAN router WL is installed, for example, within a facility where a shared space S is installed. The wireless LAN router WL is configured to be wirelessly connectable to the shared space terminals 3 (wireless communication units 341 to 343) and the mobile terminal 5 (communication unit 51), and is configured to be communicable with the cloud server 4 (communication unit 41) via a communication network N such as the Internet. The wireless LAN router WL, the shared space terminals 3, and the mobile terminal 5 are connected by Wi-Fi communication (2.4 GHz). That is, the wireless LAN router WL is a Wi-Fi router capable of Wi-Fi communication with the wireless communication units 341 to 343. The wireless LAN router WL and the cloud server 4 are connected by 3G, 4G, LTE, etc., and a modem may be connected between the wireless LAN router WL and the communication network N as necessary.

[0064] The cloud server 4 includes a communication unit 41, a lock processing unit 42, a console processing unit 43, and a database 44. The communication unit 41 can communicate with the communication network N either wired or wirelessly. That is, the cloud server 4 can communicate with the administrator terminal 6 and the schedule management application A via the communication network N by the communication unit 41, and can communicate with the shared space terminals 3 and the mobile terminal 5 via the communication network N and the wireless LAN router WL. The database 44 accumulates data included in signals transmitted from the shared space terminals 3, the mobile terminal 5, etc.

[0065] The lock processing unit 42 includes a reservation information management unit 420, a reservation status acquisition unit 421, a reservation status presentation unit 422, a jump-in reservation unit 423, an unlocking / locking command unit 424, and a lock operation permission unit 425. The lock processing unit 42 mainly executes processing related to the lock device 2, and can also execute general cloud server processing functions such as overall control of each unit within the cloud server 4 and communication control of the communication unit 41. In other words, the lock processing unit 42 can appropriately execute various general functions (clock function, timing function, communication control function, arithmetic processing function, etc.) other than the functions of each unit 420 to 425.

[0066] The reservation information management unit 420 manages reservation status information indicating the reservation status of the shared space S. As a premise, for the shared space S, both advance reservation and walk-in reservation are possible. Regarding advance reservation, even before going to the location, it is possible to make a reservation from a PC, a mobile terminal 5, etc. on the website provided by the system 1, or after arriving at the location, it is also possible to make a reservation from the mobile terminal 5 for a time zone after the current time. The reservation information management unit 420 manages information on the reservation status for each shared space S based on both of the above-mentioned advance reservations. Note that the reservation information management unit 420 may share data or processing with the reservation time management unit 430 of the console processing unit 43 described later. Therefore, in the present disclosure, the reservation information management unit 420 and the reservation time management unit 430 are also collectively referred to as the "reservation management unit".

[0067] The reservation status acquisition unit 421 identifies the target shared space S according to the QR code 10 imaged by the mobile terminal 5 and received from the mobile terminal 5. Then, the reservation status acquisition unit 421 acquires reservation status information for the target shared space S from the reservation information management unit 420.

[0068] When the reservation status information indicates that there is no reservation for the shared space S from the current time to a predetermined time, the reservation status presentation unit 422 causes the mobile terminal 5 to display that the shared space S is available until the predetermined time. This predetermined time is, for example, the reservation start time of another user after that, the business closing time of the shared space S, etc. Also, when the reservation status information indicates that there is a current reservation for the shared space S at the current time, the reservation status presentation unit 422 causes the mobile terminal 5 to display the available start time when the shared space S becomes available or the available time zone including the same (that is, at least the available start time). This available start time is, for example, the reservation end time of the current user or the current reservation, and the available time zone is the time from the reservation end time to the reservation start time of the next user or the business closing time.

[0069] In addition, when the reservation status information indicates that there is a current reservation for the target shared space S to be used at the current time, the reservation status presentation unit 422 causes the mobile terminal 5 to display alternative space information indicating another available or reservable alternative shared space Sa at the current time. Thereby, the user can be made to continue the intention to use the shared space, and the utilization efficiency of the shared space S can be improved.

[0070] First, the reservation status presentation unit 422 selects other shared spaces S inside the facility containing the shared space S as candidates for the alternative shared space Sa. For example, when a plurality of shared spaces S are installed within the same facility, the plurality of shared spaces S can be the first candidates for the alternative shared space Sa. For example, it is assumed that a plurality of shared booths (as the shared space S) are installed within one coffee shop, within one station building, within one commercial facility, etc. That is, when the shared space S is unavailable at the current time but another shared space S within the same facility is available, the reservation status presentation unit 422 presents the available shared space S to the user (mobile terminal 5) as the alternative shared space Sa. Thereby, the user can use it without waiting for the nearest alternative shared space Sa, and the convenience is enhanced. Also, the trouble of the user imaging the QR code 10 one by one for each nearby shared space S to check the usage status is avoided.

[0071] When other shared spaces S within the same facility are also unavailable, the reservation status presentation unit 422 may present to the user (mobile terminal 5) that other shared spaces S are also unavailable. In this case, the reservation status presentation unit 422 may present to the user (mobile terminal 5) the one that becomes available in the shortest time among the said shared space S and other shared spaces S (that is, the reservation end time of the current reservation is the earliest) as the alternative shared space Sa. Thereby, the user can grasp how much waiting time they need to stay in the facility to be able to use (any) shared space S, and can act flexibly, such as finishing other errands (such as meals and shopping) first depending on the waiting time.

[0072] Furthermore, when there are no other shared spaces S installed within the same facility or when other shared spaces S within the same facility are not available at the current time, the reservation status presentation unit 422 presents to the user (mobile terminal 5) other shared spaces S outside the facility as the alternative shared space Sa. In this case, the reservation status presentation unit 422 can map other available or reservable shared spaces S outside the facility on a map and present the map information to the user (mobile terminal 5). Thereby, the user can intuitively and quickly make a decision to use the alternative shared space Sa and locate it, and can act efficiently.

[0073] The jump reservation unit 423 accepts a reservation from the mobile terminal 5 from the current time to the specified end time of the shared space S (jump reservation for immediate use) or a reservation from the available start time to the specified end time (jump reservation for use after waiting). The usage time specified at this time is the time zone reserved by the user based on the reservation status information presented on the mobile terminal 5 by the reservation status presentation unit 422. Also, a procedure for determining the reservation of the shared space S can be started by selecting a pin (indicating the shared space S) on the map shown as the above map information. Then, according to the user's specification of the usage time, a payment screen is displayed on the mobile terminal 5, and by the user performing payment on this payment screen, a jump reservation for immediate use or a jump reservation for use after waiting is determined and finalized.

[0074] The locking / unlocking command unit 424 transmits an unlocking signal to the locking device 2 (wireless communication unit 21) in response to the determination of the jump reservation for immediate use received by the jump reservation unit 423. In the case of a jump reservation for use after waiting, it is assumed that the locking / unlocking command unit 424 transmits an unlocking signal to the locking device 2 by the same process as in the case of a normal advance reservation after the reservation start time. For example, based on the collation of the identification information of the mobile terminal 5 that has imaged and transmitted the QR code 10 and the reservation information, the unlocking signal can be transmitted. Also, when the input number input and transmitted from the numeric keypad 20 matches the password set on the cloud server 4 side, the locking / unlocking command unit 424 transmits a locking signal or an unlocking signal (a signal that reverses the locked state / unlocked state) to the locking device 2. In the locking device 2, in response to this locking signal or unlocking signal, the lock control unit 23 drives the locking mechanism 22 to perform a locking operation or an unlocking operation.

[0075] Also, when the user temporarily vacates the shared space S during the usage time (after reservation determination and before the specified end time), the locking device 2 may be locked and unlocked by re-reading the QR code 10. That is, when the user vacates the shared space S, the user re-images the QR code 10 with the mobile terminal 5, and the locking and unlocking command unit 424 collates the identification information of the mobile terminal 5 at the time of re-imaging with the identification information of the mobile terminal 5 resulting from the reservation determination (for example, at the time of reservation determination or at the time of imaging the QR code 31z). And when this collation is successful, the locking and unlocking command unit 424 transmits a locking signal to the locking device 2 (that is, locks the door D). Also, when the user re-enters the shared space S, the user re-images the QR code 10 with the mobile terminal 5, and the locking and unlocking command unit 424 collates the identification information of the mobile terminal 5 at the time of re-imaging with the identification information of the mobile terminal 5 resulting from the reservation determination (for example, at the time of reservation determination or at the time of imaging the QR code 31z). And when this collation is successful, the locking and unlocking command unit 424 transmits an unlocking signal to the locking device 2 (that is, unlocks the door D).

[0076] The lock operation permission unit 425 transmits lock operation information necessary for the operation of the lock device 2 to the shared space terminal 3 according to the QR code 31z (displayed on the console screen 31 of the shared space terminal 3) imaged and transmitted by the mobile terminal 5. Specifically, the lock operation permission unit 425 generates a random initial password number (for example, a 4-digit number) for the QR code 31z on the console screen 31 imaged and transmitted by the mobile terminal 5, and transmits the initial password number to the shared space terminal 3. In the shared space terminal 3, the console control unit 361 displays the initial password number on the lock display 31k of the console screen 31. Further, the lock operation permission unit 425 accepts a request from the user (mobile terminal 5) to change the password number (change from the initial password number to an arbitrary new password number). Thereby, the user can use a password number that is easy for the user to remember, and the convenience is enhanced. When the user changes the password number from a predetermined screen of the mobile terminal 5, in the lock / unlock command unit 424, the initial password number is rewritten to the new password number. Note that the lock operation permission unit 425 invalidates the lock operation information after the reservation end time. In other words, the lock operation information is valid only within the usage time. Thereby, the security of the shared space S is improved.

[0077] The console processing unit 43 includes a reservation time management unit 430, a display command unit 431, a repeat reservation unit 432, an illumination command unit 433, a ventilation command unit 434, a warning processing unit 435, a voice guidance processing unit 436, and a data processing unit 437. The console processing unit 43 mainly executes processing related to the shared space terminal 3, and can also execute general processing functions of a cloud server, such as overall control of each unit in the cloud server 4 and communication control of the communication unit 41. In other words, the console processing unit 43 can appropriately execute various general functions (clock function, timekeeping function, communication control function, arithmetic processing function, etc.) other than the functions of the units 430 to 437.

[0078] The reservation time management unit 430 provides a reservation website for the shared space S to the user's mobile terminal or personal computer (PC), and determines reservation information from user input to the reservation website. Therefore, the reservation time management unit 430 holds current and future reservation information about the shared space S. The reservation time management unit 430 can cooperate with an external schedule management application A to perform time management as shown in the present disclosure. However, such a schedule management application may be included in the console processing unit 43. Also, as described above, the reservation time management unit 430 can share data or processing with the above-described reservation information management unit 420. The reservation time management unit 430 acquires the reservation start time ts and the reservation end time te of the reservation usage time from the reservation information, and generates times t1 to t3, ta, and tb associated with the reservation end time te.

[0079] Time t1 is an end notice time for notifying the arrival of the reservation end time te before the reservation end time te. This is for the purpose of prompting the user to conclude their work and facilitating their smooth preparation for leaving the room. At time t1, for example, a message prompting for preparation for leaving the room can be output as audio from the speaker 38 of the shared space terminal 3. The difference time T1-e from time t1 to the reservation end time te is about 5 to 15 minutes, preferably about 10 minutes.

[0080] Time t2 is a room exit guidance time for prompting the user to leave the room (or exit, the same hereinafter) before the reservation end time te. This is for the purpose of facilitating the user's smooth preparation for leaving the room. At time t2, for example, a message prompting for preparation for leaving the room is voice-guided from the speaker 38 of the shared space terminal 3, and the lighting device 15 can be blinked by the switch circuit 35. The difference time T2-e from time t2 to the reservation end time te is about 1 to 10 minutes, preferably about 5 minutes.

[0081] Time t3 is an end guidance time that guides the arrival of the reservation time before the reservation end time te. This is for the purpose of prompting the user to vacate immediately. At time t3, for example, a message prompting immediate departure can be output as audio from the speaker 38 of the shared space terminal 3. The difference time T3-e from time t3 to the reservation end time te is about 0 to 1 minute, preferably about 1 minute.

[0082] Time ta is an extension guidance time for prompting a reservation for extended use before the reservation end time te. At time ta, for example, a message prompting extended use is output as audio from the speaker 38 of the shared space terminal 3, and a display of an extended use guidance display 31c can be started on the console screen 31. However, if there is a reservation for the shared space S after the reservation end time te, time ta is not generated or, even if generated, is not used. The difference time Ta-e from time ta to the reservation end time te may be about 15 minutes and is desirably before the end notice time t1.

[0083] Time tb is a repeat use guidance time for prompting a reservation for repeat use before the reservation end time te. At time tb, for example, a message prompting a repeat reservation is output as audio from the speaker 38 of the shared space terminal 3, and a display of a repeat reservation guidance display 31r can be started on the console screen 31. Time tb can be any time between the reservation start time ts and the reservation end time te. Also, the order relationship between the extension use guidance time ta and the repeat reservation guidance time tb is not particularly limited, but time ta and time tb may be the same time. Alternatively, so that a user who likes the shared space S in use can make a repeat reservation at any time, time tb may be a time closer to the reservation start time ts than the reservation end time te (for example, the same time as time ts).

[0084] The display command unit 431 generates a console command (first console command) based on each time generated by the reservation time management unit 430 and the information associated therewith, a switch operation signal from the console screen 31 or the physical switch unit 32, and a detection signal from the sensor unit 33. The objects 31a to 31j on the console screen 31 are formed by this console command. Also, a console command for the portable terminal (second console command) is generated for the portable terminal 5 that has imaged the QR code 31z from the console screen 31. Note that the image code displayed on the QR code 31z is an image code unique to the reservation time (reservation start time ts to reservation end time te). In other words, different image codes are applied and displayed for different reservation times. Therefore, a given image code is valid only during the corresponding reservation time. Further, the display command unit 431 generates a console command for the portable terminal (third console command) for causing the portable terminal 5 to display a repeat reservation screen including repeat reservation availability information in response to a touch operation on the repeat reservation guidance display 31r.

[0085] Also, outside the usage time of the shared space S, the display command unit 431 generates a console command for setting the console screen 31 to standby (for example, blackout). Even outside the usage time, when a human presence signal is transmitted from the human sensor 33b of the shared space terminal 3 or when an operation signal indicating touch detection on the console screen 31 is transmitted, the display command unit 431 generates a console command for displaying a predetermined standby screen. The console command is transmitted from the communication unit 41 to the shared space terminal 3 (wireless communication unit 341), and the console command for the portable terminal is transmitted from the communication unit 41 to the portable terminal 5 (communication unit 51).

[0086] Figures 8A to 8E show examples of the console screen 31 of the shared space terminal 3 that has received a console command. Figures 8A to 8C show basic screens 3101 to 3103, respectively, as standard display modes (basic screens) of the console screen 31. On the basic screen 3101, a current time display 31a, a reservation end time display 31b, an extension usage guidance display 31c, a remaining time display 31d, a noise level display 31e, a CO2 concentration display 31f, a temperature display 31g, a lighting soft switch 31i, a ventilation soft switch 31j, a lock display 31k (unlocked state), and a QR code 31z are displayed. On the basic screen 3102, an object group in which the reservation end time display 31b of the basic screen 3101 is replaced with a repeat reservation guidance display 31r is displayed. On the basic screen 3103, an object group in which the unlocked lock display 31k of the basic screen 3102 is replaced with a locked state and a lock display 31k with a password "3241" is displayed. Note that the password can be displayed regardless of the locked state / unlocked state. Note that in the basic screens 3101 to 3103, a QR code 31z may be displayed as in the console screen 31 of FIG. 3. Examples of FIGS. 8D and 8E will be described later.

[0087] Figure 9 shows an example of the display screen 54 (basic screen) of the mobile terminal 5 that has received a console command for the mobile terminal. The basic screen 5400 shown in Figure 9 corresponds to the basic screen 3102 of Figure 8B or the basic screen 3103 of Figure 8C. That is, on the basic screen 5400, objects such as a current time display 54a, an extension usage guidance display 54c, a remaining time display 54d, a noise level display 54e, a CO2 concentration display 54f, a temperature display 54g, a lighting soft switch 54i, a ventilation soft switch 54j, and a repeat reservation guidance display 54r are transferred and displayed from the basic screen 3102 or 3103. On the basic screen 5400, an object corresponding to the lock display 31k (particularly, the password) may not be displayed in consideration of security.

[0088] The display screen 54 of the mobile terminal 5 is a touch panel and accepts the touch operations of the user. The display command unit 431 generates a console command and a console command for the mobile terminal for causing the corresponding objects included in the object groups of the console screen 31 and the display screen 54 to be reversely displayed in response to a touch operation on an object on the display screen 54. Operations on each object on the display screen 54 are synchronized with operations on the corresponding object on the console screen 31.

[0089] The repeat reservation unit 432 generates repeat reservation availability information about the shared space S based on the reservation information in the reservation time management unit 430. This repeat reservation availability information indicates, for each shared space S, the availability of repeat reservation for future candidate time zones corresponding to the reservation time zone of the current reservation, that is, time zones after the next day, after the next week, etc. (hereinafter, also referred to as "repeat candidate time zones"). The repeat reservation unit 432 transmits a console command for causing the repeat reservation guidance display 31r to be displayed on the console screen 31 to the shared space terminal 3 based on the repeat reservation availability information. As described above for the console screen 31, the repeat reservation guidance display 31r may include a display such as "Repeat reservation possible" when there is an available slot for reservation in the repeat candidate time zone in the schedule within a predetermined period after the current day.

[0090] Furthermore, as shown in the basic screen 3104 of FIG. 8D, when a repeat reservation for the same time slot on the same day of the week in the next week is possible, the repeat reservation unit 432 may include this fact in the repeat reservation guidance display 31r. For example, if the current day is October 5 (Tuesday) and a repeat reservation for the same time slot on October 12 (Tuesday) in the next week is possible, "Repeat reservation available for next week 10 / 12 (Tue)" or the like may be included in the repeat reservation guidance display 31r. Thereby, in a situation such as a regular meeting, for example, an intuitive decision on a regular or periodic repeat reservation can be promoted. When a repeat reservation for the same time slot on the same day of the week in the next week is not possible, the repeat reservation unit 432 may not display the repeat reservation guidance display 31r on the console screen 31. Also, when a repeat reservation for the same time slot on the same day of the week in the next week is not possible, the repeat reservation unit 432 may display the nearest day (in this case, the shortest Tuesday on which a repeat reservation is possible) among the days on which a repeat reservation for the same time slot on the same day of the week is possible in the repeat reservation guidance display 31r. Also, correspondingly, in the basic screen 5400 of FIG. 9, repeat reservation availability information similar to that of the repeat reservation guidance display 31r may be displayed in the repeat reservation guidance display 54r.

[0091] Alternatively, as shown in the basic screen 3105 of FIG. 8E, the repeat reservation unit 432 may include in the repeat reservation guidance display 31r a display of the shortest repeatable day, which is the nearest day on which a repeat reservation is possible (for example, "Shortest repeat reservation available day: 10 / 8 (Fri)"). Thereby, an intuitive decision on the earliest repeat reservation can be prompted to the user. When there is no vacancy for reservation in the shared space S in the repeat reservation candidate time slot within the schedule for a predetermined period, the repeat reservation unit 432 may not display the repeat reservation guidance display 31r on the console screen 31. Note that the predetermined period after the current day may be one week from the next day, one month, or the longest period (substantially indefinite) that can be set in the calendar. Also, correspondingly, in the basic screen 5400 of FIG. 9, repeat reservation availability information similar to that of the repeat reservation guidance display 31r may be displayed in the repeat reservation guidance display 54r.

[0092] In addition, in response to a touch operation on the repeat reservation guidance display 54r on the mobile terminal 5, the repeat reservation section 432 generates a console command for the mobile terminal (the fourth console command) for displaying a repeat reservation guidance screen on the mobile terminal 5. In response to this console command for the mobile terminal, for example, repeat reservation screens 5401 to 5405 or repeat reservation screens 5411 to 5415 as exemplified in FIGS. 10A to 10E or FIGS. 11A to 11E are displayed on the display screen 54.

[0093] In the repeat reservation screen 5401 shown in FIG. 10A, the repeat candidate time zone is the same unit time zone as the reservation time zone of the current reservation, and repeat reservation availability information regarding schedules for which repeat reservation is possible within a predetermined period after next week is displayed. As a result, the user can easily make repeat reservations for regular or periodic meetings or conferences such as weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly meetings.

[0094] In the example of FIG. 10A, the time zone of booth B in the current reservation is 14:00 to 15:00, and the repeat candidate time zone is also 14:00 to 15:00. Repeat reservation availability information for six weeks after next week is included in the repeat reservation screen in a manner in which repeat reservation can be selected for each unit time zone. For example, if the current date is October 5 (Tuesday), the repeat reservation availability information for each Tuesday from October 12 (Tuesday) one week later to November 16 (Tuesday) six weeks later is displayed. And in a manner in which repeat reservation can be selected, for example, "〇" indicating repeat reservation possible and "×" indicating repeat reservation impossible are displayed. In this example, the display period after next week is six weeks, but this display period may be five weeks or less or seven weeks or more. However, by setting the display period to five weeks or six weeks, it is possible to generally correspond to the schedule one month ahead, and repeat reservations such as monthly meetings can be preferably executed.

[0095] In addition, a "Look Ahead" button may be provided to display the repeat reservation availability information for the same unit time period after the 7th week. In response to a touch operation on this button, the next six weeks (in this example, from Tuesday, November 23 to Tuesday, December 28) are displayed, and the repeat reservation availability information beyond that may also be displayed. Further, when the repeat reservation availability information for the weeks after the next week is displayed, a button such as "Go Back" is provided, and the display period is restored in response to a touch operation on it. Alternatively, the display schedule may be scrolled forward and backward (i.e., vertically within the screen) by a swipe operation or a flick operation on the screen. Additionally, "Previous Time" and "Next Time" buttons may be provided to display the repeat reservation availability information for the previous and next unit time periods. In response to a touch operation on this button, the repeat reservation availability information for the unit time period before the current reservation (in this example, 13:00 - 14:00) or the unit time period after the current reservation (in this example, 15:00 - 16:00) is displayed, and the repeat reservation availability information before and after that may also be displayed.

[0096] In the present disclosure, the unit time period refers to a time period of the same length as the current reservation. Therefore, the unit time period is variable according to the reservation. Also, when extended use is performed, the unit time may be based on the usage time of the initial reservation before the extension, or may be based on the total usage time after the extension.

[0097] In the repeat reservation screen 5402 shown in FIG. 10B, the repeat candidate time periods are the unit time period immediately before the reservation time period of the current reservation, the unit time period identical to the reservation time period of the current reservation, and the unit time period immediately after the reservation time period of the current reservation. Other configurations are the same as those of the repeat reservation screen 5401 shown in FIG. 10A. Thereby, the user can flexibly consider and execute repeat reservations with a certain range of choices.

[0098] In the example of FIG. 10B, the time slot of the current reservation (Booth B) is from 14:00 to 15:00, and the repeat candidate time slots are from 13:00 to 14:00, from 14:00 to 15:00, and from 15:00 to 16:00. Note that the repeat candidate time slots may be the same unit time slot as the reservation time slot of the current reservation, or one of the unit time slots immediately before and immediately after the reservation time slot of the current reservation. That is, in this example, the repeat candidate time slots may be from 13:00 to 14:00 and from 14:00 to 15:00, or from 14:00 to 15:00 and from 15:00 to 16:00. In particular, when the business start time or business end time of the shared space S is before or after the time slot of the current reservation, the repeat candidate time slot may be a time slot including only one of the time slots before and after it. Also in this example, a "look ahead" (or "go back") button may be provided, and repeat reservation availability information for the next six weeks and the periods before and after it may be displayed in response to a touch operation on this button. Alternatively, the display schedule may be scrolled forward and backward (vertically within the screen) by a swipe operation or a flick operation on the screen.

[0099] In the repeat reservation screens 5403 and 5404 shown in FIGS. 10C and 10D respectively, as the repeat reservation availability information, the availability of repeat reservations for the shared space S related to the current reservation and other shared spaces S is displayed. In this case, the other shared space S is assumed to be, for example, a shared space near the shared space S. Other configurations are the same as those of the repeat reservation screen 5401 shown in FIG. 10A. Thereby, when a plurality of shared spaces S exist nearby, the user can efficiently make repeat reservations for alternative shared spaces S.

[0100] In the examples of FIGS. 10C and 10D, the availability of repeat reservations for a three-room shared space S (booths A, B, and C) is displayed for repeat candidate time zones in the same unit time zone as the reservation time zone of the current reservation and for the same day of the week as the current day. Other nearby shared spaces S are, for example, other shared spaces within the facility where the currently used shared space S is located. For example, it is assumed that multiple shared booths (as shared spaces S) are installed within one coffee shop, within one station concourse, within one commercial facility, etc. Thereby, the user can surely make a repeat reservation at any of the booths. In this example too, a "Look Ahead" (or "Go Back") button may be provided, and repeat reservation availability information for the next six weeks and for a period before and after that may be displayed in response to a touch operation of this button. Alternatively, the display schedule may be scrolled forward and backward (vertically within the screen) by a swipe operation or a flick operation on the screen. Also, in this example too, similar to the example of FIG. 10A, buttons for "Previous Time" and "Next Time" may be provided, and repeat reservation availability information for the unit time zones before and after for the target shared space S may be made displayable.

[0101] In the repeat reservation screen 5405 shown in FIG. 10E, the repeat candidate time zones are in the same unit time zone as the reservation time zone of the current reservation, and repeat reservation availability information is displayed only for the schedules within a predetermined period on the same day of the week after the next week for which repeat reservations are possible. Other configurations are the same as those of the repeat reservation screen 5401 shown in FIG. 10A. In this way, by omitting the display of schedules for which repeat reservations are not available, the user can efficiently search for days on which repeat reservations are possible on the limited screen space.

[0102] In the example of Fig. 10E, a display shows the availability of repeat reservations for Booth B for seven weeks after the next week. Therefore, as repeat reservation candidate time slots, in addition to the four weeks of repeat reservation available days (corresponding to the circles) shown in Figs. 10A to 10D, the availability information (i.e., "〇") for three additional weeks of the current reservation time slot (14:00 to 15:00) is displayed. Note that although the predetermined period after the next week is set to seven weeks, the predetermined period is not limited to this. Also, a "Look Ahead" button may be provided, and in response to a touch operation on this button, the availability information for repeat reservations for a predetermined period (seven weeks in this example) before and after that may be displayed. Alternatively, the display schedule may be scrolled forward and backward (vertically within the screen) by a swipe operation or a flick operation on the screen. Also, in this example as well, similar to the example of Fig. 10A, buttons for "Previous Time" and "Next Time" may be provided, and the availability information for repeat reservations for the previous and next unit time slots may be made displayable (however, the days displayed may be different).

[0103] In the examples of Figs. 10A to 10E, any of the repeat reservation screens 5401 to 5405 displays the availability information for repeat reservations on the same day of the week. This is considered in view of the fact that human behavior or schedules are often based on the day of the week. This makes it easier for the user to consider repeat reservations for schedules that depend on the day of the week.

[0104] In the repeat reservation screen 5411 shown in Fig. 11A, the repeat reservation candidate time slots are in the same unit time slot as the reservation time slot of the current reservation, and the availability information regarding the schedules for which repeat reservations are possible within a predetermined period after the next day is displayed. The other configurations are the same as those of the repeat reservation screen 5411 shown in Fig. 11A. This enables the user to make repeat reservations in the most straightforward manner.

[0105] In the example of Fig. 11A, the time slot of Booth B in the current reservation is from 14:00 to 15:00, and the repeat candidate time slot is also from 14:00 to 15:00. The repeat reservation availability information for one week after the next day is included in the repeat reservation screen in a manner where repeat reservation can be selected for each unit time slot. For example, if the current day is October 5 (Tuesday), the repeat reservation availability information from October 6 (Wednesday) to October 12 (Tuesday) of the following week will be displayed. And in a manner where repeat reservation can be selected, for example, "〇" indicating repeat reservation possible and "×" indicating repeat reservation not possible are displayed.

[0106] Also, a "Next Week" button may be provided to display the repeat reservation availability information for the same unit time slot after the next week. In response to the touch operation of this button, the information for the next week (in this example, from October 13 (Wednesday) to October 19 (Tuesday)) is displayed, and further repeat reservation availability information beyond that can be displayed. Also, when the repeat reservation availability information after the next week is displayed, buttons such as "Previous Week" are provided, and the display period is returned in response to the touch operation thereof. Alternatively, the display schedule may be scrolled forward and backward (i.e., up and down within the screen) by a swipe operation or a flick operation on the screen. Furthermore, "Previous Time" and "Next Time" buttons may be provided to display the repeat reservation availability information for the unit time slots before and after. In response to the touch operation of this button, the repeat reservation availability information for the unit time slot before the current reservation (in this example, from 13:00 to 14:00) or the unit time slot after the current reservation (in this example, from 15:00 to 16:00) is displayed, and further repeat reservation availability information before and after that can be displayed.

[0107] In the repeat reservation screen 5412 shown in Fig. 11B, the repeat candidate time slots are the unit time slot immediately before the reservation time slot of the current reservation, the unit time slot identical to the reservation time slot of the current reservation, and the unit time slot immediately after the reservation time slot of the current reservation. Other configurations are the same as those of the repeat reservation screen 5411 shown in Fig. 11A. Thereby, the user can consider and execute repeat reservation flexibly with a certain range of selection.

[0108] In the example of FIG. 11B, the time slot of the current reservation (Booth B) is from 14:00 to 15:00, and the repeat candidate time slots are from 13:00 to 14:00, from 14:00 to 15:00, and from 15:00 to 16:00. Note that the repeat candidate time slots may be the same unit time slot as the reservation time slot of the current reservation, or one of the unit time slots immediately before and immediately after the reservation time slot of the current reservation. That is, in this example, the repeat candidate time slots may be from 13:00 to 14:00 and from 14:00 to 15:00, or from 14:00 to 15:00 and from 15:00 to 16:00. In particular, when the business start time or business end time of the shared space S is before or after the time slot of the current reservation, the repeat candidate time slot may be a time slot including only one of the time slots before and after it. In this example too, a button for "View Next Week" (or "Go Back to Previous Week") may be provided, and in response to a touch operation on this button, the repeat reservation availability information for the next week and further for the time slots before and after it may be displayed. Alternatively, the display schedule may be scrolled forward and backward (vertically within the screen) by a swipe operation or a flick operation on the screen.

[0109] In the repeat reservation screens 5413 and 5414 shown in FIGS. 11C and 11D respectively, as the repeat reservation availability information, the availability of repeat reservations for the shared space S related to the current reservation and other shared spaces S is displayed. In this case, other shared spaces S are assumed to be, for example, shared spaces near the shared space S. Other configurations are the same as those of the repeat reservation screen 5411 shown in FIG. 11A. Thereby, when a plurality of shared spaces S exist nearby, the user can efficiently make repeat reservations for alternative shared spaces S.

[0110] In the examples of FIGS. 11C and 11D, the availability of repeat reservations for the three-room shared space S (booths A, B, and C) is displayed for the repeat candidate time zones in the same unit time zone as the reservation time zone of the current reservation. In this example, the shared space S currently being used by the user is booth B, and the shortest repeat reservation possible date for booth B is October 8, while for the other booth A, the shortest repeat reservation possible date is October 6. In this way, it becomes easier for the user to make repeat reservations. In this example as well, a "View Next Week" (or "Go Back to Previous Week") button may be provided, and in response to a touch operation of this button, the availability information for repeat reservations for the next week and the periods before and after it may be displayed. Alternatively, the display schedule may be scrolled forward and backward (vertically within the screen) by a swipe operation or a flick operation on the screen. Also, in this example as well, similar to the example of FIG. 11A, buttons for "Previous Time" and "Next Time" may be provided, and the availability information for repeat reservations for the unit time zones before and after the target shared space S may be made displayable.

[0111] In the examples of FIGS. 11A to 11D, each of the repeat reservation screens 5411 to 5414 displays the availability information for repeat reservations in one-week units starting from the day after. This is considered in view of the fact that human behavior or schedules are often determined on a weekly basis. As a result, it becomes easier for the user to consider repeat reservations for their upcoming schedules. In the examples of FIGS. 11A to 11D, the availability information for repeat reservations for one week is displayed on one screen, but the availability information for repeat reservations for two or more weeks may be displayed by reducing the character font or the like. In particular, when the mobile terminal 5 is a tablet terminal, the availability information for repeat reservations for one month starting from the day after, the availability information for repeat reservations for the current month, the availability information for repeat reservations for the current month and the next month, etc. may be displayed on the repeat reservation screen. In this case, the repeat reservation screen may be configured in a calendar format (starting from Sunday or Monday).

[0112] On the repeat reservation screen 5415 shown in FIG. 11E, the repeat candidate time zone is the same unit time zone as the reservation time zone of the current reservation, and repeat reservation availability information is displayed only for the schedules for which repeat reservation is possible within a predetermined period after the next day. Other configurations are the same as those of the repeat reservation screen 5411 shown in FIG. 11A. In this way, by omitting the display of schedules for which repeat reservation is not possible, the user can efficiently search for repeat reservation available days on the limited screen space.

[0113] In the example of FIG. 11E, seven days for which repeat reservation of Booth B is possible after the next day are displayed. Therefore, as the repeat candidate time zone, in addition to the four days corresponding to the ○ marks shown in FIGS. 11A to 11D, reservation availability information (that is, "○") for the current reservation time zone (14:00 to 15:00) for another three days is displayed. Note that the predetermined period after the next day is set to seven days here, but the predetermined period is not limited to this. Also, a "Look Ahead" button may be provided, and in response to a touch operation on this button, repeat reservation availability information for a further predetermined period (seven days in this example) before and after that may be displayed. Alternatively, the displayed schedule may be scrolled forward and backward (vertically within the screen) by a swipe operation or a flick operation on the screen. Also in this example, similar to the example of FIG. 11A, "Previous Time" and "Next Time" buttons may be provided, and repeat reservation availability information for the previous and next unit time zones may be made displayable (however, the displayed days may be different).

[0114] On the repeat reservation screens 5401 to 5415 in FIGS. 10A to 11E above, it is assumed that when "○" indicating reservation availability, the booth name, or the characters of the schedule are touched, a settlement screen or a confirmation screen before that (that is, a screen that can finally reach settlement) is displayed. Then, the repeat reservation unit 432 finalizes the repeat reservation in response to the selection of the reservation time zone on the repeat reservation screen and the associated settlement operation.

[0115] Returning to FIG. 9, the extended use will be described. In response to a touch on the extended use guidance display 54c on the display screen 54, the display command unit 431 referring to the reservation time management unit 430 generates a console command for a mobile terminal to display an extended reservation screen (not shown) for performing extended use reservation and settlement on the display screen 54. The user can perform the procedure for extending the use on the extended reservation screen displayed on the display screen 54.

[0116] Here, as in the present embodiment, it is preferable that the extended use guidance display 31c and the repeat reservation guidance display 31r are displayed on the same screen. And it is preferable that the extended use guidance display 31c and the repeat reservation guidance display 31r are arranged adjacent to each other without other objects intervening therebetween (not necessarily in contact). Similarly, it is preferable that the extended use guidance display 54c and the repeat reservation guidance display 54r are displayed on the same screen. And it is preferable that the extended use guidance display 54c and the repeat reservation guidance display 54r are arranged adjacent to each other without other objects intervening therebetween (not necessarily in contact). Thereby, when the reservation end time approaches with the work unfinished, the user can make a decision simultaneously and in parallel as to whether to extend the work or to make a repeat reservation to resume the work at a later date. In particular, as shown in FIG. 8D or FIG. 8E, when the repeat reservation guidance display 31r includes the repeat reservation availability information for the next week or the shortest possible repeat reservation date, and the extended use guidance display 31c includes the maximum extendable time, the informativeness is further enhanced.

[0117] Note that since the user can also perform operations other than repeat reservation or extended use (such as operations of the lighting soft switch or the ventilation soft switch) on the display screen 54, each object can be operated on the console screen 31 without contact. Therefore, indirect contact between an unspecified number of users via the console screen 31 (including indirect contact with users at other usage times) can be avoided, which is hygienically preferable from the viewpoint of preventing infectious diseases. Furthermore, since the console screen 31 can be configured with a display without a touch operation function, the cost of the shared space terminal 3 or even the system 1 can be reduced.

[0118] The lighting command unit 433 generates a lighting command and a lighting-off command based on each time generated by the reservation time management unit 430 or a switch operation signal transmitted from the shared space terminal 3 (lighting software switch 31i or lighting physical switch 32a). The generated lighting command or lighting-off command is transmitted from the communication unit 41 to the shared space terminal 3 (wireless communication unit 342).

[0119] Specifically, at the reservation start time ts, the lighting command unit 433 generates a lighting command. At the departure guidance time t2, the lighting command unit 433 temporarily generates a short-time lighting-off command or lighting command so as to reverse the lighting state of the lighting device 15. Specifically, when the lighting device 15 is in the lighting state, a temporary lighting-off command is generated, and when the lighting device 15 is in the lighting-off state (such as when using a projector), a temporary lighting command is generated. By this flickering or blinking, the user can visually and intuitively recognize the approach of the reservation end time te. These flickerings or blinkings may be performed once or continuously multiple times (that is, multiple round trips between lighting and lighting-off). At the reservation end time te, the lighting command unit 433 generates a lighting-off command. That is, in the present embodiment, the lighting device 15 is lit at the reservation start time ts and turned off at the reservation end time te.

[0120] Also, during the reservation time period, when the lighting device 15 is in the lighting state, the lighting command unit 433 generates a lighting-off command according to the switch operation signal, and when the lighting device 15 is in the lighting-off state, the lighting command unit 433 generates a lighting command according to the switch operation signal (that is, reverses lighting and lighting-off). Note that the period within the reservation time refers to the period from the reservation start time ts to the reservation end time te.

[0121] On the other hand, during a period outside the reserved time, the lighting command unit 433 temporarily generates a lighting command only for a temporary lighting period in response to a switch operation signal. Here, the period outside the reserved time refers to a period before the reserved start time ts or a period after the reserved end time te. This temporary lighting period is, for example, 10 seconds or more and 1 minute or less, preferably about 20 seconds to 40 seconds, and more preferably about 30 seconds. This temporary lighting period provides temporary lighting for the purpose of a patrol by the administrator (staff) of the shared space S, retrieval of forgotten items by the user, etc. Here, the display command unit 431 may cause the remaining time of the temporary lighting period to be counted down and displayed on the console screen 31 (for example, by the remaining time display 31d). Thereby, the staff or the temporary user can recognize that the current lighting is a temporary lighting. In addition, since the staff or the temporary user can know the grace period until the lights are turned off, they can act calmly within that grace period.

[0122] In addition, the lighting command unit 433 may be configured to generate a lighting command only for a predetermined forced lighting period in response to a specific operation signal generated in response to a specific operation on the console screen 31 during a period outside the usage time. The above-mentioned specific operation is, for example, a touch operation on a predetermined location of the console screen 31. This touch operation on the predetermined location may be defined as a touch operation on a single blank location, or may be defined as a simultaneous touch operation on a plurality of blank locations, a plurality of objects, or a combination of a blank location and an object, a continuous touch operation within a short time, etc. Thereby, in the shared space S, it becomes possible to perform out-of-hours work (cleaning, maintenance, etc.) by work staff such as cleaners and maintenance staff. When the lights are turned off, a light-off command is generated by a touch operation on the lighting soft switch 31i, similar to when the lights are turned off during the usage time. In addition, the administrator can manage the working hours of the work staff from the logs of the lighting command and the light-off command in this case on the administrator terminal 6.

[0123] The ventilation command unit 434 generates an operation command or a stop command based on the switch operation signal transmitted from the shared space terminal 3 (ventilation software switch 31j or ventilation physical switch 32b) or the environmental level indicated by the signal transmitted from the shared space terminal 3 (environmental sensor 33a). Alternatively, regardless of the presence or absence of the switch operation signal from the shared space terminal 3 or the environmental level, the ventilation command unit 434 may generate an operation command at regular intervals (e.g., every 30 minutes) for a predetermined period (e.g., 5 minutes) as regular ventilation. The generated operation command or stop command is transmitted from the communication unit 41 to the shared space terminal 3 (wireless communication unit 342).

[0124] The ventilation command unit 434 generates a stop command when the ventilation fan 16 is in the operating state and generates an operation command when the ventilation fan 16 is in the stopped state in response to the switch operation signal (i.e., reverses the operation and stop).

[0125] In addition, the ventilation command unit 434 generates an operation command when the detected CO2 level from the CO2 sensor 333 exceeds the CO2 threshold (e.g., 1000 ppm), and then generates a stop command when the detected CO2 level from the CO2 sensor 333 falls below the CO2 threshold. In order to avoid frequent repetition of the operation and stop of the ventilation fan 16, the ventilation command unit 434 may generate an operation command when the detected CO2 level exceeds the CO2 rising threshold and generate a stop command when the detected CO2 level falls below the CO2 falling threshold (CO2 rising threshold > CO2 falling threshold). Alternatively, the detection interval of the CO2 sensor 333 or the transmission interval of the detection signal may be set relatively long.

[0126] Furthermore, when the detected pollution level from the IAQ sensor 334 exceeds the pollution threshold value (for example, 1100 ppb for VOC), the ventilation command unit 434 generates an operation command, and then, when the detected pollution level from the IAQ sensor 334 falls below the pollution threshold value, generates a stop command. In order to avoid frequent repetition of the operation and stop of the ventilation fan 16, the ventilation command unit 434 may generate an operation command when the detected pollution level exceeds the pollution increase threshold value, and generate a stop command when the detected pollution level falls below the pollution decrease threshold value (pollution increase threshold value > pollution decrease threshold value). Alternatively, the detection interval of the IAQ sensor 334 or the transmission interval of the detection signal may be set relatively long.

[0127] When the detected noise level indicated by the signal transmitted from the noise sensor 331 satisfies the noise warning condition, the warning processing unit 435 generates a warning voice output command for emitting a warning message from the speaker 38 of the shared space terminal 3. The warning voice output command is a warning message such as "Please be a little quieter!". Further, an objective index-based message such as "It exceeds 〇〇 decibels" may be added to the warning message, whereby the persuasiveness of the warning can be ensured. The generated voice output command is transmitted from the communication unit 41 to the shared space terminal 3 (wireless communication unit 341). Thereby, the above warning message is output as voice from the speaker 38 by the voice output control unit 363. Here, the noise warning condition is that the cumulative value of the noise level in a continuous time (for example, 3 seconds) exceeds the warning threshold value (for example, 85 dB), the peak value of the noise level exceeds a predetermined threshold value, and the like.

[0128] In addition, when the above warning is issued, the warning processing unit 435 can notify the administrator's terminal (for example, the administrator terminal 6) of that fact by email or the like. Thereby, the administrator can call the user's mobile terminal 5 or the landline phone arranged in the shared space S and make a request for quietness to the user quickly and directly.

[0129] Further, when the detected CO2 level exceeds the CO2 threshold or the detected contamination level exceeds the contamination threshold, the warning processing unit 435 can generate an audio output command for issuing a warning by voice from the speaker 38. This warning message may simply convey the increase in each detected level, or may prompt ventilation by the ventilation fan 16.

[0130] Based on each time generated by the reservation time management unit 430, the voice guidance processing unit 436 generates a voice output command for guidance. The generated voice output command is transmitted from the communication unit 41 to the shared space terminal 3 (wireless communication unit 341). Thereby, the warning message is output as voice from the speaker 38 by the voice output control unit 363 of the shared space terminal 3.

[0131] Specifically, at the reservation start time ts, the voice guidance processing unit 436 generates a voice output command for outputting a message indicating the arrival of the reservation start time (for example, "Please scan the QR code"). Also, at the end warning time t1, the voice guidance processing unit 436 generates a corresponding voice output command for causing the end warning message (for example, "It will end in 10 minutes") to be output as voice from the speaker 38. Further, at the departure guidance time t2, the voice guidance processing unit 436 generates a voice output command for outputting a message indicating the approach of the reservation end time (for example, "The end time is approaching soon. Please leave promptly"). Furthermore, at the end guidance time t3, the voice guidance processing unit 436 generates a voice output command for outputting a reservation end message (for example, "Thank you for using").

[0132] The data processing unit 437, together with the database 44, provides graphical or numerical displays of various data to the input / output I / F 64 of the administrator terminal 6 based on the presence or absence of the signal received from the shared space terminal 3 or the detection level indicated by the signal. The graphical or numerical displays include real-time monitoring results of selected items, statistics of past monitoring results, etc. The selected items include one or more of noise (detection result of the noise sensor 331), motion detection (detection result of the human sensor 33b), temperature (detection result of the temperature and humidity sensor 332), humidity (detection result of the temperature and humidity sensor 332), CO2 concentration (detection result of the CO2 sensor 333), and air pollution level (detection result of the IAQ sensor 334). Further, the reception history of each operation signal from the shared space terminal 3 and the transmission history of each command from the cloud server 4 to the shared space terminal 3 may be combined in these graphical or numerical displays.

[0133] The lighting device 15 is generally an LED lighting fixture, a fluorescent lighting fixture, etc. In this embodiment, since the lighting device 15 is blinked, this embodiment is particularly suitable for an LED lighting fixture with high blinking resistance. The lighting device 15 includes a lighting circuit and a light source (both not shown). One input terminal of the lighting circuit is connected to the AC power supply AC via the switch circuit 35, and the other input terminal is directly connected to the AC power supply AC (see FIGS. 5 and 6). The lighting circuit is a general lighting ballast that converts the input AC voltage from the AC power supply AC into a predetermined output current and supplies the output current to the light source. For example, when the light source is an LED, the lighting circuit is an electronic ballast including a rectifier circuit and a DC / DC converter. When the light source is a discharge lamp, the lighting circuit is an electronic ballast including a rectifier circuit and a DC / AC converter or a magnetic ballast including a copper-iron coil. Further, the lighting circuit and the light source may be integrated to form a bulb-shaped lighting fixture.

[0134] The ventilation fan 16 is generally a ventilation device that exchanges indoor air with outdoor air. The ventilation fan 16 includes a drive circuit and a motor (both not shown). One input terminal of the drive circuit is connected to the AC power supply AC via the switch circuit 35, and the other input terminal is directly connected to the AC power supply AC (see FIGS. 5 and 6). The drive circuit is a general motor drive circuit that converts the input AC voltage from the AC power supply AC into a predetermined AC current or DC current and supplies its output current to the fan motor (i.e., the fan rotates).

[0135] In addition to the lighting device 15 and the ventilation fan 16, by providing an extended connection terminal block (and the extended terminals included therein) in addition to the connection terminal block 35b (see FIG. 7A), other devices (especially existing devices) can be connected. Other devices include an AC-powered locking device 2, a monitor installed outside the shared space S (e.g., on the outer wall surface) that displays the presence / absence of people in the shared space S, reservation information, etc. (a display). Also in this case, for other devices, the power supply wiring can be connected or disconnected according to the corresponding switch command from the cloud server 4 (console processing unit 43). For example, during the usage time, when a locking command is generated as a switch command, the locking device 2 is powered on and enters the locked (or lock / unlock operable) state. On the other hand, outside the usage time, when an unlocking signal is generated as a switch command, the locking device 2 is unlocked without being powered on. Also, during the usage time, when a display on command is generated as a switch command, the above monitor is powered on and enters the display state. On the other hand, outside the usage time, when a display off command is generated as a switch command, the above monitor is shut down without being powered on.

[0136] The mobile terminal 5 is a general information communication device such as a smartphone or a tablet. The mobile terminal 5 includes a communication unit 51, a CPU 52, a memory 53, a display screen 54, and a camera 55. The communication unit 51 is a general communication means capable of communicating with the wireless LAN router WL and the cloud server 4 (communication network N and communication unit 41). The CPU 52 and the memory 53 are a processor and a memory that constitute a general computer. It is assumed that the necessary application programs are already installed in the memory 53, and the CPU 52 is capable of executing those programs. The display screen 54 is an input / output interface composed of a touch panel as described above.

[0137] The administrator terminal 6 is, for example, a smartphone, a tablet, a personal computer (PC), etc. The administrator terminal 6 includes a communication unit 61, a CPU 62, a memory 63, and an input / output interface (I / F) 64. The communication unit 61 is a general communication means capable of communicating with the wireless LAN router WL and the cloud server 4 via the communication network N. The CPU 62 and the memory 63 are a processor and a memory that constitute a general computer. It is assumed that the necessary application programs are already installed in the memory 63, and the CPU 62 is capable of executing those programs. The input / output I / F 64 is a touch panel when the administrator terminal 6 is a smartphone or a tablet, and is a display device (monitor) and an input device (keyboard, mouse, microphone, etc.) when the administrator terminal 6 is a PC.

[0138] The administrator can access the cloud server 4 from the administrator terminal 6 and set or change various settings on the cloud server 4. For example, in the reservation time management unit 430, the difference times between the end notice time t1, the departure guidance time t2, the end guidance time t3, the extended usage guidance time ta, and the repeat reservation guidance time tb and the reservation end time te can be set or changed. In the display command unit 431, the display content of the console screen 31 (selection of which of the objects 31a to 31z to display) can be set or changed. In the lighting command unit 433, the necessity of a temporary light-off command (flashing of the lighting device 15) at the departure guidance time t2 can be set or changed. Also, in the lighting command unit 433, a lighting command or a light-off command can be generated manually. In the ventilation command unit 434, the CO2 threshold value, the correction value of the detection level, and the necessity of a pollution detection warning (generation of a warning voice output command based on the detected pollution level), the pollution threshold value can be set or changed. Also, in the ventilation command unit 434, the necessity of regular ventilation (regular operation of the ventilation fan 16), the necessity of automatic ventilation by a human presence detection signal (operation of the ventilation fan 16 based on CO2 detection), etc. can be set or changed. Also, in the ventilation command unit 434, an operation command or a stop command can be generated manually.

[0139] Also, in the warning processing unit 435, the necessity of a noise warning (generation of a warning voice output command based on the detected noise level), the necessity of notifying the administrator that a noise warning has been issued, the noise warning conditions, and the correction value of the detection level can be set or changed. Further, the administrator may be able to set or change the content of the warning message in the warning processing unit 435 via the input / output interface 64. Alternatively, the administrator may be able to set or change the warning message substantially in real time via the input / output interface 64, that is, by text input from a keyboard, or by voice input from a microphone and voice recognition processing. Also, in an appropriate functional part of the console processing unit 43, the necessity of email notification in the case of any indoor abnormality detection based on a specific detection level and the necessity of email notification in the case of out-of-hours entry detection can be set or changed.

[0140] FIG. 12 shows the flow of processes executed among the shared space terminal 3, the cloud server 4, and the mobile terminal 5 in the system 1. This flow relates to the user's repeat reservation for the shared space S.

[0141] In step S10, the cloud server 4 (display command unit 431) transmits a console command for displaying the console basic screen (see FIGS. 8B to 8E) to the shared space terminal 3. In response, in step S12, the shared space terminal 3 (console control unit 361) displays the console basic screen on the console screen 31.

[0142] In step S14, the cloud server 4 (repeat reservation unit 432) generates repeat reservation availability information for the shared space S based on the reservation information acquired from the reservation time management unit 430. This repeat reservation availability information may include not only the repeat reservation availability information for the shared space S but also the repeat reservation availability information for other shared spaces S.

[0143] In step S16, the user (mobile terminal 5) captures the QR code 31z on the console basic screen, and the QR code 31z is transmitted to the cloud server 4. In response, in step S18, the cloud server 4 (display command unit 431) transmits a console command for the mobile terminal for displaying the mobile terminal basic screen (for example, the basic screen 5400 in FIG. 9) to the mobile terminal 5. In response, in step S20, the mobile terminal 5 displays the basic screen 5400 on the display screen 54.

[0144] In step S22, the user touches the repeat reservation guidance display 54r on the basic screen 5400 on the mobile terminal 5. In response, in step S24, the cloud server 4 (display command unit 431) transmits a console command for the mobile terminal for displaying a repeat reservation screen (see FIGS. 10A to 11E) including the repeat reservation availability information to the mobile terminal 5. In response, in step S26, the mobile terminal 5 displays the repeat reservation screen on the display screen 54.

[0145] In step S28, the user executes a repeat reservation from the repeat reservation screen on the mobile terminal 5. That is, the user selects the schedule of the repeat reservation and performs settlement related to the repeat reservation via a settlement confirmation screen, a settlement execution screen, etc. guided from the repeat reservation screen. In response to this settlement, in step S30, the cloud server 4 (repeat reservation unit 432) finalizes the repeat reservation of the shared space S. Along with this, the reservation information of the reservation time management unit 430 is updated.

[0146] <Summary of the Embodiment> As described above, the system 1 of the present embodiment includes a shared space terminal 3 disposed inside the shared space S and a cloud server 4 wirelessly communicably connected to the shared space terminal 3. The shared space terminal 3 includes a console screen 31 and a console control unit 361 that causes the console screen 31 to display a console basic screen including at least a QR code 31z based on a console command received from the cloud server 4. The cloud server 4 includes a reservation management unit (reservation time management unit 430) that manages reservation information of the shared space S, a repeat reservation unit 432 that generates repeat reservation availability information indicating the availability of repeat reservation for a future candidate time zone (repeat candidate time zone) corresponding to the current reservation time zone of the shared space S based on the reservation information, a console command for displaying the console basic screen, a mobile terminal console command for causing the mobile terminal 5 that has captured the QR code 31z of the console basic screen to display a mobile terminal basic screen including a repeat reservation guidance display 31r related to the repeat reservation of the shared space S, and a display command unit 431 that generates a mobile terminal console command for causing the mobile terminal 5 to display a repeat reservation screen including repeat reservation availability information in response to a touch operation on the repeat reservation guidance display 31r. The repeat reservation unit 432 is configured to finalize the repeat reservation of the shared space S in response to an operation on the repeat reservation screen.

[0147] The shared space reservation promotion method according to the second aspect of the present invention is executed by the shared space terminal 3 disposed inside the shared space S and the cloud server 4 connected to be wirelessly communicable with the shared space terminal 3. The shared space reservation promotion method includes: (S10) a step in which the cloud server 4 transmits a console command for displaying a console basic screen to the shared space terminal 3; (S12) a step in which the shared space terminal 3 causes the console screen 31 to display a console basic screen including at least the QR image code 31z based on the console command; (S14) a step in which the cloud server 4 generates repeat reservation availability information indicating the availability of repeat reservation for a future candidate time zone (repeat candidate time zone) corresponding to the reservation time zone of the current reservation for the shared space S based on the reservation information of the shared space S; (S16) in response to the mobile terminal 5 imaging the QR code 31z, (S18) a step in which the cloud server 4 transmits a console command for the mobile terminal for displaying a mobile terminal basic screen including a repeat reservation guidance display 54r regarding the repeat reservation of the shared space S to the mobile terminal 5; (S22) in response to a touch operation on the repeat reservation guidance display 54r on the mobile terminal 5, (S24) a step in which the cloud server 4 transmits a console command for the mobile terminal for displaying a repeat reservation screen including the repeat reservation availability information to the mobile terminal 5; and (S28) in response to an operation on the repeat reservation screen on the mobile terminal 5, (S30) a step in which the cloud server 4 finalizes the repeat reservation of the shared space S.

[0148] According to the above system 1 and method, a mobile terminal basic screen is displayed on the mobile terminal 5 that has imaged the QR code 31z displayed on the shared space terminal 3, and a repeat reservation screen is displayed on the mobile terminal 5 in response to a touch operation on the repeat reservation guidance display 54r in the mobile terminal basic screen. The user can make a repeat reservation for the shared space Sno on the repeat reservation screen of the mobile terminal 5 while using the shared space S and within the shared space S. Therefore, a system 1 and a shared space reservation promotion method are realized that enable the user to easily, comfortably, and safely make a repeat reservation for the shared space S.

[0149] In an example of the above-described system 1 and method, as repeat reservation availability information, repeat reservation availability information for a day of the week after the next week for the same day of the week as the current reservation day is preferably included in the repeat reservation screen in a manner in which a repeat reservation can be selected for each of the candidate time slots. Thereby, the user can easily make a repeat reservation for a regular or periodic repeat reservation that depends on the day of the week.

[0150] In an example of the above-described system 1 and method, as repeat reservation availability information, repeat reservation availability information for one week after the next day is preferably included in the repeat reservation screen in a manner in which a repeat reservation can be selected for each of the repeat candidate time slots. Thereby, it becomes easier for the user to consider a repeat reservation for a weekly schedule in the near future.

[0151] In an example of the above-described system 1 and method, the repeat reservation availability information displayed on the mobile terminal 5 indicates the availability of repeat reservations for the shared space S and other shared spaces S related to the current reservation in the same repeat candidate time slot, and the repeat reservation availability information is displayed in a manner in which a repeat reservation can be selected for other shared spaces S as well. Thereby, when there are a plurality of shared spaces S, the user can efficiently make a repeat reservation including alternative shared spaces S.

[0152] In an example of the above-described system 1 and method, as repeat reservation availability information, repeat reservation availability information related only to schedules for which repeat reservations are possible within a predetermined period is included in the repeat reservation screen in a manner in which a repeat reservation can be selected for each of the repeat candidate time slots. Thereby, the display of schedules for which repeat reservations are not possible is omitted, and the user can efficiently search for days on which repeat reservations are possible on a limited screen space.

[0153] In an example of the above-described system 1 and method, the repeat candidate time slot is the same time slot as the reservation time slot of the current reservation. Thereby, the user can quickly and easily make a repeat reservation from minimal information.

[0154] In an example of the above system 1 and method, the repeat candidate time zone may consist of at least one of the same unit time zone as the reservation time zone of the current reservation, and the unit time zone immediately before and immediately after the reservation time zone of the current reservation. Thereby, the user can flexibly consider and execute repeat reservations with a certain range of choices.

[0155] In an example of the above system 1 and method, the repeat reservation guidance display includes information on the availability of repeat reservations for the next week on the same day of the week as the current reservation. Thereby, the user can intuitively decide on repeat reservations for regular or periodic repeat reservations.

[0156] In an example of the above system 1 and method, the repeat reservation guidance display includes the shortest repeat reservation possible date, which is the closest schedule on which repeat reservation is possible. Thereby, the user can intuitively decide on repeat reservations for the shortest repeat reservation date.

[0157] In an example of the above system 1 and method, the console basic screen or the mobile terminal basic screen includes an extended use guidance display 31c indicating the availability of extended use of the shared space S. Thereby, the user can easily decide whether to conduct further operations within the shared space S the day after or during the same day.

[0158] Here, in the console basic screen or the mobile terminal basic screen, it is preferable that the repeat reservation guidance display 31r and the extended use guidance display 31c are arranged adjacent to each other. Thereby, the above considerations can be carried out simultaneously and in parallel within a narrow field of view, and the user's decision-making is promoted.

[0159] In addition, the repeat reservation guidance display 31r includes information indicating the availability of repeat reservations for the week following the same day of the week as the current reservation or the shortest repeat reservation available date, which is the nearest schedule on which repeat reservations are possible, and the extended usage guidance display 31c may include the maximum extendable time, which is the latest time at which extended usage is possible. As a result, the informativeness of repeat reservations or extended usage is further enhanced, making it easier to compare and consider the progress of the user's work with the available time of the shared space S, and further promoting the user's decision-making.

[0160] <Modification Example> Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been shown above, the present invention can be modified into various forms as shown below, for example.

[0161] (1) Modifications related to the shared space S In the above embodiment, the case where the shared space S is a small shared space such as a shared booth or a rental conference room has been shown, but the shared space re-reservation promotion system 1 can be applied to any space that can be rented by the hour. For example, the shared space S may be a large rental conference room, a shared gym, a shared office, a shared studio, a rental study room, a rental food and beverage space, or the like.

[0162] (2) Modifications related to communication standards In the above embodiment, the configuration in which the wireless communication unit 34 (341 to 343) and the wireless LAN router WL perform Wi-Fi communication has been shown, but other communication standards existing or developed in the future may be adopted as long as they can realize a similar wireless communication function. For example, although 2.4 GHz band Wi-Fi communication is adopted in this embodiment, 5 GHz band Wi-Fi communication may be adopted. Also, a mobile SIM may be used for the wireless communication unit 34. In this case, since the shared space terminal 3 and the communication network N (cloud server 4) are directly wirelessly communication-connected, the wireless LAN router WL becomes unnecessary.
