Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] By the way, conventionally, anyone could reserve a meeting room at any time without restrictions. Therefore, even when the holding of a meeting was uncertain or when the meeting was not important (when it was not necessary to use a meeting room), there was a risk that the meeting room would be reserved or used tentatively. That is, there was a risk of wasteful reservation and use of meeting rooms, and as a result, there was a risk that meeting rooms for meetings with a certain holding or important meetings could not be secured. On the other hand, although the system of Patent Document 1 can provide the time until the reservation of a meeting room or the like is automatically canceled, it is impossible to prevent or suppress wasteful reservation and use of meeting rooms.

[0006] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a resource reservation system and a resource reservation method that suppress wasteful reservation and use of resources and enable efficient and effective use of resources.

Advantages of the Invention

[0016] According to the inventions of claim 1 and claim 8 Since usage tickets are distributed to each group, the usage tickets are consumed according to the use of resources, and when the remaining quantity is insufficient, the usage reservation cannot be made, each group will suppress wasteful reservation and use of resources. That is, since the opportunity to use resources is limited, for example, when the holding of a meeting is uncertain or in the case of an unimportant meeting, wasteful reservation and use of the meeting room (resource) will be suppressed. As a result, it becomes easier to secure a meeting room for a meeting that will surely be held or an important meeting, and efficient and effective use of resources becomes possible. Also, when the resource is not utilized as per the utilization reservation, a specified number of utilization tickets are consumed for the group that made the reservation, so that each group is more likely to suppress wasteful and careless reservation of resources. As a result, more efficient and effective utilization of resources becomes possible.

[0017] According to the invention of claim 2, even if all the usage tickets distributed to each group are consumed, the available amount of resources will not be exceeded, so excessive usage reservations will not be made from each group, and efficient and effective (smooth) use of resources becomes possible.

[0018] According to the invention of claim 3, since usage tickets are distributed based on the number of members in each group (since a predetermined number is set), it is possible to use resources according to the scale of each group and ensure fairness between groups.

[0019] According to the invention of claim 4, since usage tickets are distributed based on the past resource usage amount of each group, it is possible to distribute an appropriate number of usage tickets to each group based on past usage records.

[0020] According to the invention described in claim 5, since usage tickets are distributed based on the circumstances of each group, it becomes possible to distribute an appropriate number of usage tickets to each group based on the circumstances of each group. For example, it becomes possible to distribute more usage tickets to a group that is facing a peak period and has increased resource utilization.

[0022] Claim 6 According to the invention described in, since usage tickets can be transferred between groups, a group with a surplus of usage tickets can transfer usage tickets to a group lacking in usage tickets, enabling more efficient and effective use of resources.

[0023] Claim 7 According to the invention described in, preferential usage tickets are distributed to the group that has transferred usage tickets, and when making a usage reservation with these usage tickets, it is possible to use the preferential resources for which usage is guaranteed. In this way, when usage tickets are transferred, benefits regarding resource utilization can be obtained, making it possible to ensure fairness between groups and promoting efficient and effective use of resources through the transfer of usage tickets.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0025] Hereinafter, this invention will be described based on the illustrated embodiments.

[0026] FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram showing a resource reservation system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. This resource reservation system 1 is a system for using resources including the conference room K in a plurality of groups. In this embodiment, the case where each department G of a company is taken as a group and the conference room K is taken as a resource will be mainly described. Also, when explaining about all departments G, it will be referred to as "department G", and when explaining about individual departments G, it will be referred to as "first department G1", "second department G2", etc. Similarly, when explaining about all conference rooms K, it will be referred to as "conference room K", and when explaining about individual conference rooms K, it will be referred to as "first conference room K1", "second conference room K2", etc.

[0027] The resource reservation system 1 includes communication terminals 2 used by each employee M, two-dimensional code readers (usage monitoring means) 3 provided around the entrances and exits of each conference room K, and a management computer 4. The communication terminals 2 and the management computer 4, and the two-dimensional code readers 3 and the management computer 4 can communicate with each other.

[0028] The communication terminal 2 is a terminal equipped with a communication function, a display unit, an input unit, a memory, etc. In this embodiment, it is composed of a smartphone (multifunctional mobile terminal). A two-dimensional code is transmitted to this communication terminal 2 by making a reservation to use the conference room K in the manner described later, and this two-dimensional code can be displayed on the display unit.

[0029] The two-dimensional code reader 3 is a device that reads two-dimensional codes and constitutes a usage monitoring means for monitoring whether Conference Room K has been used as reserved. That is, when employee M starts using Conference Room K, the two-dimensional code received from the management computer 4 is displayed on the display unit of the communication terminal 2, and when the two-dimensional code reader 3 reads the two-dimensional code, the read code information is transmitted to the management computer 4. Thereby, the management computer 4 monitors whether Conference Room K has been started to be used as reserved. Similarly, when employee M finishes using Conference Room K and the two-dimensional code reader 3 reads the two-dimensional code, the read code information is transmitted to the management computer 4. Thereby, the management computer 4 monitors whether Conference Room K has been ended to be used as reserved.

[0030] Here, when starting usage, after transmitting the code information from the two-dimensional code reader 3 to the management computer 4, permission to use may be transmitted from the management computer 4 to the two-dimensional code reader 3, and upon receiving this, the lock of the key to Conference Room K may be released. Similarly, when ending usage, after transmitting the code information from the two-dimensional code reader 3 to the management computer 4, permission to end may be transmitted from the management computer 4 to the two-dimensional code reader 3, and upon receiving this, the key to Conference Room K may be locked.

[0031] In this way, in this embodiment, by reading the two-dimensional code with the two-dimensional code reader 3, it is monitored whether Conference Room K has been used as reserved, but other usage monitoring means may also be used. For example, a human presence sensor may be installed in each Conference Room K, and based on the detection result by the human presence sensor, the entry and exit of employee M to and from Conference Room K, that is, whether Conference Room K has been used as reserved, may be monitored.

[0032] The management computer 4 is a computer server for distributing usage tickets C to each department G and accepting reservation requests for the conference rooms K. As shown in Fig. 2, it mainly includes a reservation status database 41, a group information database 42, an input unit 43, a display unit 44, a communication unit 45, a ticket distribution task (ticket distribution means) 46, a reservation management task (reservation management means) 47, and a central processing unit 48 that controls these components, etc.

[0033] The reservation status database 41 is a database that stores the reservation status of each conference room K, and stores which conference room K is reserved by which department G at what time on what month and day. Furthermore, the actual usage records of the conference room K in the past are also stored.

[0034] The group information database 42 is a database that stores information (group information) related to each department G. As shown in Fig. 3, for each department ID 421, the role 422, the members 423, the performance 424, the department situation 425, the current period information 426, and others 427 are stored. In the department ID 421, the identification information (such as the department name) of the department G is stored, and in the role 422, the role and duties of the department G are stored. In the members 423, the number of members / employees M belonging to the department G is stored, and the number may be one. Also, when an officer belongs to it, the name of the officer, etc. is stored.

[0035] In the performance 424, the number of usage tickets C distributed to the department G in the past, the number of usage tickets C used by the department G in the past, the record of the department G canceling reservations in the past, etc. are stored. In the department situation 425, the specific situation (group situation) of the department G is stored. For example, the busy period of the department G (such as the end of the fiscal year for the accounting department) or the scheduled event (such as the sales promotion period for the sales department) is stored. In the current period information 426, the information of the department G in the current period (this month, this fiscal year, etc.) regarding the reservation and usage of the conference room K is stored. For example, the remaining number of usage tickets C, receiving the transfer of usage tickets C as described later It stores information such as the number of digits, or whether it owns the usage ticket C for preferential use.

[0036] The input unit 43 is an interface for inputting various information, commands, etc. Specifically, it inputs data and information such as the data in the group information database 42. The display unit 44 is a display for displaying various data, information, etc. Specifically, it displays, for example, the number of usage tickets C distributed to each department G as described later. The communication unit 45 is an interface for communicating with the outside via the Internet or a telephone communication network, etc. Specifically, it receives usage reservations from each communication terminal 2 or receives code information from each two-dimensional code reader 3.

[0037] The ticket distribution task 46 is a task program for distributing a predetermined number of usage tickets C for using the conference room K to a plurality of departments G. That is, each department G can reserve and use the conference room K by using and consuming the distributed usage tickets C, and the ticket distribution task 46 calculates the number (predetermined number) of usage tickets C to be distributed to each department G. Here, in this embodiment, an electronic ticket is used as the usage ticket C, but a paper ticket may also be used as the usage ticket C. Also, the case where the ticket distribution task 46 is activated at the end of each month to distribute the usage tickets C for the next month will be described, but the usage tickets C for the next month may be distributed when the usage of the previous month is confirmed in the current month, or it may be activated at an arbitrary time or at the end of the year, etc.

[0038] First, even if all the usage tickets C distributed to each department G are consumed, the usage tickets C are distributed so as not to exceed the available usage amount of the conference room K. That is, the usage tickets C are distributed to each department G in a number equal to or less than the available usage amount of the conference room K. Specifically, 30 minutes is taken as one unit (corresponding to one usage ticket C), the working hours of one month are converted into the number of units, and the value obtained by multiplying the number of units by the number of conference rooms K is taken as the available usage amount. Then, the total number of distributed usage tickets C is set to be equal to or less than the available usage amount. That is, Total distribution number ≤ Number of conference rooms K × (Working hours of one month (minutes) / 30 minutes) is set.

[0039] Next, determine the number of usage tickets C distributed to each department G based on the following items. First, determine the number of distributions based on the number of members (member 423) in each department G. That is, based on the ratio of the number of members in each department G, determine the number of distributions so that the number of distributions to the department G with a larger number of members is larger. At this time, the number of distributions may be adjusted according to the role, duty (role 422) of each department G, the presence or absence of officers (member 423), etc. For example, for a department G with little use of the conference room K due to the nature of the role and duty of the department G, even if the number of members is large, the number of distributions may be reduced, or for a department G with the circumstance (group circumstance) that officers belong and the use of the conference room K is large, even if the number of members is small, the number of distributions may be increased. Also, such determination based on the number of members may be only for the first month.

[0040] Second, determine the number of distributions based on the past usage amount of the conference room K in each department G. That is, based on the past usage record of each department G, determine a larger number of distributions to the department G with a large usage of the conference room K. At this time, it may be based on the usage record of the previous month or the usage record of the same month of the previous year.

[0041] Third, determine the number of distributions based on the group circumstance (department circumstance 425) of each department G. That is, determine the number of distributions in line with the group circumstance of each department G. For example, if the next month is the busy period of the first department G1, determine a larger number of distributions to the first department G1, or if an event is scheduled for the second department G2 next month, determine a larger number of distributions to the second department G2.

[0042] And distribute the usage tickets C in the number thus determined to each department G. Specifically store the number of distributions to each department G for the next month in the memory, and enable each employee M of each department G to view the number of distributions to each department G by accessing the management computer 4 with the communication terminal 2. Further, send the number of distributions to each department G to the communication terminal 2 of the representative of each department G registered in advance.

[0043] Such usage ticket C can be transferred between departments G. That is, it is possible to transfer usage ticket C from department G where there is an excess of usage ticket C to department G where there is a shortage of usage ticket C. In this embodiment, the communication terminal 2 accesses a predetermined platform of the management computer 4, and the employee M of the department G who wants to receive the transfer inputs the number of usage tickets C desired, and the employee M of the department G that may transfer inputs the number of usage tickets C that can be transferred. Then, matching is performed according to a predetermined rule on this platform, and the usage ticket C of department G that may be transferred is transferred to department G that wants to receive the transfer. That is, the remaining number of usage tickets C (this period information 426) of department G that may be transferred is subtracted by the number of transfers, and the remaining number of usage tickets C of department G that wants to receive the transfer is added by the number of transfers.

[0044] At this time, the ticket distribution task 46 distributes preferential usage tickets C to the department G that has transferred the usage ticket C. That is, preferential usage tickets C that can be used in a reserved (definitely available) meeting room K for preferential use are distributed to this department G when distributing the usage tickets C for the next month. In this embodiment, the meeting room K for preferential use (for example, the first meeting room K1) is reserved at a predetermined time every week, and cannot be reserved or used without the preferential usage ticket C. Here, the preferential usage ticket C may be distributed instead of a part of the normal usage ticket C, or the preferential usage ticket C may be distributed by adding it to the normal usage ticket C.

[0045] On the other hand, in this embodiment, for the department G that has received the transfer of the usage ticket C, at the time of distribution in the next month, the distribution number is the number obtained by subtracting according to the number of transferred usage tickets C. For example, the distribution number is the number obtained by subtracting the number of transferred usage tickets C from the distribution number calculated as described above.

[0046] In this way, since there is an increase or decrease in the usage ticket C to be distributed, the above-mentioned total distribution number is the number considering this increase or decrease.

[0047] The reservation management task 47 is a task program that accepts reservation requests for using the meeting room K from each department G and consumes the corresponding number of usage tickets C according to the use of the meeting room K.

[0048] First, it has a reservation reception page / site for accepting reservation requests for using the meeting room K. When accessed by the communication terminal 2, it displays on the communication terminal 2 the reservation status (availability of the meeting room K) obtained from the reservation status database 41, the number of usage tickets C required for using each meeting room K, and so on. Then, when reservation application information such as the identification information of department G, the usage date and time, and the meeting room K to be used is input from the communication terminal 2 and meets requirements such as the remaining number of usage tickets C being sufficient, it accepts the reservation. That is, it stores the reservation application information in the reservation status database 41 and transmits a unique two-dimensional code to the communication terminal 2. On the other hand, when the remaining number of usage tickets C is insufficient for the required number of usage tickets C, it does not accept the reservation request from the department G and displays on the communication terminal 2 that the remaining number of usage tickets C is insufficient.

[0049] Also, if the meeting room K to be used in the reservation application information is a preferential use meeting room K and this department G owns the preferential use usage ticket C, it accepts the reservation request for using the preferential use meeting room K. That is, it allocates the preferential use meeting room K for the use of this department G. On the other hand, when this department G does not own the preferential use usage ticket C (or has already consumed it), it displays on the communication terminal 2 that the preferential use meeting room K cannot be used.

[0050] Next, it consumes the corresponding number of usage tickets C according to the use of the meeting room K. That is, as described above, by receiving code information from the two-dimensional code reader 3, it monitors whether the meeting room K is used as reserved. And when it is used as reserved, it subtracts the remaining number of usage tickets C of the department G by the number corresponding to the usage time (usage time / 30 minutes). Here, in this embodiment, even if it is used for a time shorter than the reserved usage time, it subtracts the number of usage tickets corresponding to the reserved usage time. Also, it is assumed that the meeting room K cannot be used beyond the reserved usage time.

[0051] On the other hand, if the conference room K is not used as reserved, the department G that made the reservation is made to consume a specified number of usage tickets C. That is, if it is not used without prior cancellation (if it is a blank reservation), the remaining number of usage tickets C for this department G is subtracted by the number of usage tickets corresponding to the reserved usage time (usage time / 30 minutes).

[0052] Also, if it is cancelled in advance, the number of usage tickets is subtracted according to the time of cancellation. For example, if it is cancelled two days before the reserved usage date and time, no subtraction is done; if it is cancelled the day before, 50% of the number of usage tickets corresponding to the reserved usage time is subtracted; if it is cancelled on the day, 100% of the number of usage tickets corresponding to the reserved usage time is subtracted. And in the reservation management task 47, it may be possible to accept usage reservations for the conference room K cancelled the day before with a 50% discount, or for the conference room K cancelled on the day with a 100% discount.

[0053] Next, a resource reservation method and the like by the resource reservation system 1 with such a configuration will be described.

[0054] First, at the end of each month, the ticket distribution task 46 is activated, and as described above, a predetermined number of usage tickets C for using the conference room K are distributed to each department G (ticket distribution step). Next, when an employee M of each department G accesses the reservation acceptance page of the management computer 4 with the communication terminal 2, the reservation management task 47 is activated, and when reservation application information is input, the usage reservation of the conference room K is accepted as described above (reservation step of the reservation management step). At this time, as described above, usage reservations from departments G with insufficient remaining usage tickets C are not accepted.

[0055] When the reserved usage date and time elapse, a number of usage tickets C corresponding to the usage of Conference Room K are consumed (management step of the reservation management step). That is, for the department G that uses as reserved, the remaining number of usage tickets C is subtracted by the number corresponding to the usage time, and for the department G that makes a blank reservation or cancels, as described above, the remaining number of usage tickets C is subtracted by the number corresponding to the content.

[0056] As described above, according to this resource reservation system 1 and resource reservation method, usage tickets C are distributed to each department G, and the usage tickets C are consumed according to the usage of Conference Room K, and when the remaining number is insufficient, the usage reservation becomes impossible. Therefore, each department G will suppress wasteful reservation and usage of Conference Room K. That is, since the usage opportunity of Conference Room K is limited, for example, when the holding of a meeting is uncertain or when the meeting is not important, wasteful reservation and usage of Conference Room K will be suppressed. As a result, it becomes easier to secure Conference Room K for meetings with a certain holding or important meetings, and efficient and effective use of Conference Room K becomes possible.

[0057] Also, even if all the usage tickets C distributed to each department G are consumed, the available amount of Conference Room K will not be exceeded. Therefore, usage reservations will not be made excessively from each department G, and efficient and effective (smooth) use of Conference Room K becomes possible.

[0058] Furthermore, since the usage tickets C are distributed based on the number of members in each department G (because a predetermined number is set), it is possible to use Conference Room K according to the scale of each department G, and it is possible to ensure fairness among departments G.

[0059] Also, since the usage tickets C are distributed based on the past usage amount of Conference Room K by each department G, it is possible to distribute an appropriate number of usage tickets C to each department G based on the past usage record.

[0060] Moreover, since the use tickets C are distributed based on the group circumstances of each department G, it is possible to distribute an appropriate number of use tickets C to each department G based on the circumstances of each department G. For example, it is possible to distribute more use tickets C to a department G that is busy during the busy season and will use the conference room K more frequently.

[0061] In addition, if conference room K is not used as scheduled (if it is booked empty or canceled), a set number of usage tickets C are consumed for the department G that made the reservation, which encourages each department G to reduce wasteful and careless reservations of conference room K. As a result, conference room K can be used more efficiently and effectively.

[0062] In addition, since the use tickets C can be transferred between departments G, a department G with an excess of use tickets C can transfer them to a department G that is short of use tickets C, thereby enabling more efficient and effective use of the conference room K.

[0063] Moreover, preferential use ticket C is distributed to department G that has granted use ticket C, and when a reservation is made with this use ticket C, the preferential use conference room K, which has been secured for use, can be used. In this way, granting use ticket C gives a privilege to use conference room K, so fairness between departments G can be ensured, and granting use ticket C can promote efficient and effective use of conference room K.

[0064] Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above in detail, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and even if there are design changes within the scope of the present invention, they are included in the present invention. For example, in the above embodiment, the management computer 4 is configured from one computer, but it may be configured from multiple computer servers, etc. Also, although the case where the resource is the conference room K has been described, it may be other resources, such as a company car or work equipment.
