Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a golf reservation system that accepts reservations for golf courses. [Background technology]
[0002] Traditionally, open competitions have been held in which anyone can participate by paying an entry fee. Open competitions are often hosted by golf courses. It is also possible to participate in such open competitions alone.
[0003] When playing a round at a golf course, parties are usually formed of four people, but if there are multiple players participating in groups of three or less, each player must be matched with a group of four to form a party.
[0004] In response to such demands, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a system that allows a person to apply to play at a golf course by themselves via the Internet. When a reservation is made, this system selects a member to form a party with the person who made the reservation under specified conditions from among members who have previously formed parties with the person, and then provides playing instructions to the selected member. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-312530 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0006] However, there is a problem in that players who have never played at a golf course before cannot apply. When participating alone in an open competition at a golf course they have never played at, some players feel hesitant to participate alone because the majority of participants are often members of that golf course.
[0007] In addition, when planning and hosting an open competition, golf courses face the problem of having to bear a heavy burden due to the need to set the date and time, create application information, handle reception on the day, tally scores, etc. In addition, because it is necessary to secure consecutive reservation slots, there is also the problem of having to limit reservations by general players who are not participating in the open competition.
[0008] Furthermore, in open competitions hosted by golf courses, the date, time and golf course are fixed, and there are cases where the open competition is not being held on the date and time that a player wants to play, or there are no reservations available, making it difficult for players to casually participate alone.
[0009] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a golf reservation system that solves the above problems, reduces the burden on golf courses, and allows people to easily make reservations by themselves. [Means for solving the problem]
[0010] The golf reservation system of the present invention is a golf reservation system for making reservations to participate in an unspecified competition, the details of which are not specified before play, and comprises a mobile terminal carried by the player, a terminal device provided by the golf course, and a server device connected to the mobile terminal and the terminal device via a communication means, wherein the server device has a reservation acceptance unit that accepts reservations to participate in the unspecified competition, and a calculation unit that calculates the results of the unspecified competition, and the calculation unit calculates the results of the unspecified competition based on calculation conditions specified after play.
[0011] In addition, in the golf reservation system according to the present invention, the participation reservation may be made by connecting the mobile terminal to the server device, entering the unspecified competition, and then inputting the player's desired conditions.
[0012] In addition, the golf reservation system according to the present invention may allow selection of a plurality of the calculation conditions.
[0013] In addition, in the golf reservation system of the present invention, the server device may have a matching unit that connects to the terminal device, reserves a reservation slot at the golf course, and assigns the player who has made the participation reservation to the reservation slot.
[0014] In addition, in the golf reservation system according to the present invention, the matching unit may be able to assign a reservation holder other than a person who has made a reservation to participate in the unspecified competition to the reservation slot.
[0015] In addition, in the golf reservation system according to the present invention, the results of the unspecified competition may be a leaderboard. [Effects of the Invention]
[0016] According to the golf reservation system of the present invention, it is possible to make a reservation to participate in an unspecified competition, the details of which are not specified before playing. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0018] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the embodiments described below do not limit the content of the present invention as defined in the claims. Furthermore, not all of the configurations described below are necessarily essential requirements of the present invention.
[0019] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the overall configuration of a golf reservation system according to this embodiment. In the figure, the system is configured such that a mobile device 1 owned by each user, a player P, and a server device 2 are interconnected via a communication means 4 such as the Internet, and the server device 2 and a golf course terminal device 3 are interconnected via a communication means 5 such as the Internet. The mobile device 1 and the golf course terminal device 3 may also be interconnected via a communication means 6 such as the Internet. While only one mobile device 1 is shown in FIG. 1, if multiple players P are present at the same time, multiple mobile devices 1 with similar configurations will be connected to the communication means 4. Also, although only one golf course terminal device 3 is shown, in reality, multiple golf course terminal devices 3 can be connected to the communication means 5 and 6.
[0020] The mobile terminal 1 held by the player P has the functions of a general smartphone, and is provided with a display unit 12 for screen display and an operation unit 13 for manual operation on the front of a flat main body 11. In this embodiment, the mobile terminal 1 is assumed to be a smartphone, but it may also be a portable personal computer, a mobile phone, a tablet terminal, a wristwatch-type terminal such as a smartwatch, a portable information processing terminal, or the like.
[0021] 2 shows the electrical configuration of the mobile terminal 1. In the figure, the mobile terminal 1 includes a control unit 14, a transmission / reception unit 15, and a storage unit 16 in addition to the display unit 12 and operation unit 13 described above.
[0022] The display unit 12 is composed of a liquid crystal module and a liquid crystal panel that are exposed on the front of the main body of the mobile terminal 1, and as is well known, these liquid crystal modules and liquid crystal panels display images using a dot matrix in which a large number of sub-pixels are arranged in a grid pattern.
[0023] The operation unit 13 receives operations from the player P and sends an electrical operation signal to the control means 14. In the mobile terminal 1 of this embodiment, the display unit 12 is a touch panel, and the surface of the display unit 12 functions as the operation unit 13.
[0024] The control means 14 is a control device such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), and its operation is controlled by a program 17 that is downloaded in advance by accessing the server device 2 and stored in the storage unit 16. The control means 14 has a software configuration that functions by reading the program 17 from the storage unit 16.
[0025] The transmitting / receiving unit 15 enables two-way communication with the server device 2 via the communication means 4. Therefore, the mobile terminal 1 can transmit and receive data including various information to and from the server device 2.
[0026] The storage unit 16 is configured using various storage devices such as a magnetic hard disk drive or a semiconductor storage device, and is capable of writing and reading score information 18 and handicap information 19 of the player P.
[0027] 3 shows the electrical configuration of the server device 2. In the figure, the server device 2 includes a control unit 21, a transmitting / receiving unit 22, and a storage unit 23.
[0028] The control means 21 is configured to include a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and controls the entire server device 2 based on a program 24 stored in the storage unit 23. The CPU executes calculations in accordance with the program 24, thereby realizing each function of the server device 2. The control means 21 has a reservation acceptance unit 25 that accepts reservations from players P, a matching unit 26 that allocates the accepted players P to reservation slots at the golf course, creates a party, and confirms the golf course reservation, a counting unit 27 that creates a leaderboard based on score information 18 and handicap information 19 from each player P, and the like, and a condition acceptance unit 28 that receives calculation condition information from the mobile terminal 1.
[0029] The transmitting / receiving unit 22 enables two-way communication with the mobile terminal 1 via the communication means 4, and also enables two-way communication with the terminal device 3 via the communication means 5. Therefore, the server device 2 can transmit and receive data including various information to and from the mobile terminal 1 and the terminal device 3.
[0030] The memory unit 23 is constructed using various memory devices such as a magnetic hard disk drive and a semiconductor memory device, and is capable of writing and reading participation information 29 entered by the player P when making a reservation, allocation information 30 allocating the player P to a reservation slot, score information 18 and handicap information 19 of each player P, etc.
[0031] 4 shows the electrical configuration of the golf course terminal device 3. In the figure, the terminal device 3 comprises a control means 31, a transmission / reception unit 32, and a storage unit 33.
[0032] The control means 31 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and controls the entire terminal device 3 based on a program 34 stored in a storage unit 33. The CPU executes calculations in accordance with the program 34, thereby realizing each function of the terminal device 3. The control means 31 includes a reservation registration unit 35 that confirms reservations from the server device 2, and a reservation slot search unit 36 that searches for available reservation slot information.
[0033] The transmitting / receiving unit 32 enables two-way communication with the server device 2 via the communication means 5. Therefore, the terminal device 3 can transmit and receive data including various information to and from the server device 2.
[0034] The memory unit 33 is constructed using various memory devices such as a magnetic hard disk device and a semiconductor memory device, and is capable of writing and reading, for example, reservation slot information 37 indicating whether reservations have been confirmed for all reservation slots, and confirmed reservation information 38, which is confirmed reservation information for reservation slots.
[0035] A reservation method using the golf reservation system of this embodiment will now be described with reference to Figures 5 and 6. First, player P accesses the server device 2 with his / her mobile terminal 1 and inputs participation information 29, such as the desired date and time of play, the golf course, and the number of participants, via the operation unit 13 on the unspecified competition entry page. The reservation acceptance unit 25 of the server device 2 stores the participation information 29 in the storage unit 23 and transmits reservation acceptance notification information notifying that the reservation has been accepted to the mobile terminal 1 via the transmission / reception unit 22. The desired time of play may be specified not only in a narrow time range, such as a start time of 9:00 AM, but also in a broad time range, such as a start time in the morning, or multiple time slots, such as a start time of 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM or 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM.
[0036] When a reservation is accepted, the matching unit 26 of the server device 2 starts creating parties of four people for each reservation slot. The matching unit 26 connects to the terminal device 3 at the golf course in advance and reserves the first reservation slot W1. Here, the reservation slot W1 is assumed to be a reservation slot with a start time of 9:00. In this embodiment, one reservation slot W1 is reserved in advance, but multiple reservation slots may be reserved in advance. When the matching unit 26 reserves the reservation slot W1, it allocates a tentative reservation R for one person to the reservation slot W1 (see allocation procedure 1 in FIG. 6).
[0037] Thereafter, when the reservation reception unit 25 actually receives a reservation R1 from the first person, the matching unit 26 allocates the reservation R1 to the reservation slot W1. Thereafter, when the reservation reception unit 25 receives a reservation R2 from the second person and a reservation R3 from the third person, the matching unit 26 allocates the reservations R2 and R3 to the reservation slot W1 (see allocation procedure 2 in FIG. 6).
[0038] After allocating reservation R3 to reservation slot W1, the matching unit 26 connects to the terminal device 3 and checks whether there are any other available reservation slots. At this time, the reservation slot search unit 36 of the terminal device 3 reads reservation slot information 37 from the storage unit 33 and checks whether there are any available reservation slots. If there are any available reservation slots, the matching unit 26 secures a second reservation slot W2 and allocates the tentative reservation R that was allocated to reservation slot W1 to reservation slot W2 (see allocation procedure 3 in FIG. 6). In this example, reservation slot W2 is the reservation slot with a start time of 9:15.
[0039] Next, when the reservation receiving unit 25 receives a fourth reservation R4 and a fifth reservation R5, the matching unit 26 allocates the reservations R4 and R5 to the reservation slot W2 (see allocation procedure 4 in FIG. 6).
[0040] Thereafter, when the reservation receiving unit 25 receives a reservation R6 for a sixth person, the matching unit 26 allocates the reservation R6 to the reservation slot W1, completing a party P1 of four people (see allocation procedure 5 in FIG. 6).
[0041] Next, when the reservation receiving unit 25 receives a reservation R7 from a seventh person, the matching unit 26 allocates the reservation R7 to the reservation slot W2 (see allocation procedure 6 in FIG. 6).
[0042] After allocating reservation R7 to reservation slot W2, the matching unit 26 connects to the terminal device 3 and checks whether there are any other available reservation slots. As described above, the reservation slot search unit 36 of the terminal device 3 checks whether there are any available reservation slots, and if there is an available reservation slot, the matching unit 26 secures a third reservation slot W3 and allocates the tentative reservation R that was allocated to reservation slot W2 to reservation slot W3 (see allocation procedure 7 in FIG. 6). In this example, reservation slot W3 is the reservation slot with a start time of 9:30.
[0043] Next, when the reservation receiving unit 25 receives a reservation R8 for the eighth person and a reservation R9 for the ninth person, the matching unit 26 allocates the reservations R8 and R9 to the reservation slot W3 (see allocation procedure 8 in FIG. 6).
[0044] Thereafter, when the reservation receiving unit 25 receives a reservation R10 for a tenth person, the matching unit 26 allocates the reservation R10 to the reservation slot W2, completing a party P2 of four people (see allocation procedure 9 in FIG. 6).
[0045] Next, when the reservation receiving unit 25 receives a reservation R11 from an eleventh person, the matching unit 26 allocates the reservation R11 to the reservation slot W3 (see allocation procedure 10 in FIG. 6).
[0046] After allocating reservation R11 to reservation slot W3, the matching unit 26 connects to the terminal device 3 and checks whether there are any other available reservation slots. As described above, the reservation slot search unit 36 of the terminal device 3 checks whether there are any available reservation slots, and if there are any available reservation slots, it secures a fourth reservation slot (not shown) and sequentially allocates the received reservations to that reservation slot. Subsequently, the fifth reservation slot (not shown), the sixth reservation slot (not shown), and so on are sequentially completed in the same manner. Here, a case will be described in which the reservation slot search unit 36 checks whether there are any available reservation slots and there are no available reservation slots. When the reservation receiving unit 25 accepts a twelfth person's reservation R12, the matching unit 26 cancels the tentative reservation R and allocates reservation R12 to reservation slot W3, thereby completing a party P3 of four people (see allocation procedure 11 in FIG. 6).
[0047] When reservation slot W3 is completed, the reservation acceptance unit 25 stops accepting reservations and starts accepting reservations on a waiting list. For example, if the reservation acceptance unit 25 accepts a waiting list reservation R13 (see allocation procedure 12 in FIG. 6) and reservation R5 for reservation slot W2 is canceled (see allocation procedure 13 in FIG. 6), the matching unit 26 assigns the waiting list reservation R13 to reservation slot W2 and completes party P2 of four people again (see allocation procedure 14 in FIG. 6). Note that if no cancellation occurs by the end of the reservation solicitation period (e.g., 3:00 p.m. on the day before play) after accepting the waiting list reservation R13, the server device 2 transmits reservation refusal notification information to the mobile terminal 1 of the person who made the waiting list reservation R13, notifying that no cancellation has occurred and that the reservation cannot be accepted.
[0048] The matching unit 26 can also adjust the number of people in a party depending on the number of reservations. If the last reservation accepted at the end of the recruitment period is reservation R8, reservation R8 allocated to reservation slot W3 is moved to reservation slot W2, completing party P2 of four people. Note that reservation slot W3 only contains tentative reservation R, so the matching unit 26 connects to the terminal device 3 and cancels the reservation slot W3. If the last reservation accepted is reservation R9, reservation R8 allocated to reservation slot W3 is moved to reservation slot W2, completing party P2 of four people. At this time, reservation slot W3 only contains tentative reservation R and reservation R9, so the matching unit 26 sends reservation failure notification information to the mobile terminal 1 of the person who made reservation R9, canceling the reservation due to the incomplete party, and connects to the terminal device 3 and cancels the reservation slot W3. Alternatively, reservations R4, R5, and R7 may be assigned to reservation slot W2 to complete party P2 of three, and reservations R8 and R9 may be assigned to reservation slot W3 to complete party P3 of two, on the condition that the person who made reservation R9 pays a surcharge. If the last reservation accepted is reservation R10, reservation R10 is moved from reservation slot W2 to reservation slot W3, and reservations R4, R5, and R7 are assigned to reservation slot W2 to complete party P2 of three, while reservations R8, R9, and R10 are assigned to reservation slot W3 to complete party P3 of three. If the last reservation accepted is reservation R11, reservations R8, R9, and R11 (other than tentative reservation R) assigned to reservation slot W3 complete party P3 of three.
[0049] The reservation reception unit 25 of the server device 2 can also accept reservations from the mobile terminals 1 of general reservation applicants who do not wish to enter the unspecified competition. Therefore, when the matching unit 26 creates a party for each reservation slot, it can assign a mixture of entrants for the unspecified competition and general reservation applicants who do not wish to enter the unspecified competition to each reservation slot. In other words, it is possible for those who will enter the unspecified competition and those who will not to form a party and play together. Therefore, even if the number of entrants for the unspecified competition is small, it is possible to complete many parties.
[0050] The storage unit 23 of the server device 2 stores participation information 29 of accepted reservation persons, and allocation information 30 of parties P1, P2, and P3 that have been completed by allocating reservation persons to reservation slots W1, W2, and W3.
[0051] When the reservation acceptance period has elapsed, the control means 21 of the server device 2 transmits the completed allocation information 30 to the terminal device 3 of the golf course via the transmission / reception unit 22. When the terminal device 3 receives the allocation information 30, the reservation registration unit 35 confirms the reservation and stores it in the storage unit 33 as confirmed reservation information 38. The control means 21 of the server device 2 also transmits reservation establishment notification information to the mobile device 1 of each player P assigned to the reservation slots W1, W2, and W3 via the transmission / reception unit 22, notifying that the reservation has been confirmed. Note that the transmission of the allocation information 30 from the server device 2 to the terminal device 3 and the transmission of the reservation establishment notification information from the server device 2 to the mobile device 1 may be performed when each of the reservation slots W1, W2, and W3 is completed in the server device 2.
[0052] In this embodiment, there is no organizer of the unspecified competition (for example, a golf course), and therefore the golf course does not need to set the date and time of the competition, create recruitment information, secure consecutive reservation slots on the golf course, handle reception exclusively for the competition on the day, tally scores, etc.
[0053] Furthermore, the date, time, and location of the competition are not yet determined. Player P makes a reservation by entering participation information 29, such as the desired date to play, the desired golf course, and the number of participants. This allows Player P to decide the date and location to play, reducing the chance of abandoning the game because no open competition is being held on the desired date. Even if the golf course where Player P wishes to play does not accept single-person reservations, the golf reservation system of this embodiment is a system that makes reservations for golf courses by reservation slot (party), so Player P can essentially make a single-person reservation. Furthermore, golf course members are generally expected to make reservations directly with the golf course, and the golf reservation system of this embodiment is likely to be used infrequently. Therefore, when making a reservation using the golf reservation system of this embodiment, there is a high probability that players P who are not members of the golf course where they will play will form a party.
[0054] After finishing playing, player P uses mobile terminal 1 to input score information 18 and handicap information 19 to server device 2. Score information 18 is the number of strokes (gross score) for each hole played, and handicap information 19 can be based on the JGA / USGA Handicap Index established by the Japan Golf Association or the World Handicap System, which is scheduled to be introduced in the future. Handicap information 19 can be transmitted to server device 2 in advance before playing and stored in memory unit 23.
[0055] The server device 2 stores the score information 18 and handicap information 19 in the memory unit 23, allowing the player P to check the leaderboard for the unspecified competition. The aggregation unit 27 of the server device 2 reads the handicap information 19 stored in the memory unit 23, subtracts the handicap from the gross score, calculates the net score, and creates a leaderboard. Note that the leaderboard may also be created using the gross score.
[0056] A leaderboard showing the results of an unspecified competition is created by a player P inputting calculation conditions into a calculation condition specification page of the server device 2 using the mobile terminal 1. For example, when the golf course where the player played is input as calculation condition information, the condition receiving unit 28 of the server device 2 receives the calculation condition information, and the tallying unit 27 creates a leaderboard based on the score information 18 and handicap information 19 of all players P who played at that golf course, which are stored in the memory unit 23. By checking this leaderboard, the player P can confirm the ranking and score of each player P.
[0057] Other calculation condition information may be entered, such as age (e.g., junior high school student, 35 years old, 50s, etc.), a specific period (e.g., September 2021, Sunday, etc.), and gender, to create a leaderboard. To create a leaderboard using this calculation condition information, information such as player P's age, play date, and gender must be stored in advance in the memory unit 23 of the server device 2. Also, by storing the weather at the time of play in the memory unit 23 of the server device 2, the weather (sunny, rainy, etc.) can also be used as calculation condition information. Furthermore, a leaderboard may be created based on multiple pieces of calculation condition information. In this way, by storing various calculation condition information in the memory unit 23 of the server device 2, the aggregation unit 27 can create a variety of leaderboards.
[0058] As described above, the golf reservation system of this embodiment is a golf reservation system for making reservations to participate in an unspecified competition, the details of which are not specified before playing, and includes a mobile device 1 carried by player P, a terminal device 3 provided at the golf course, and a server device 3 connected to mobile device 1 and terminal device 3 via communications means 4 and 5. Server device 3 has a reservation acceptance unit 25 that accepts reservations to participate in the unspecified competition, and a calculation unit 27 that calculates the results of the unspecified competition, and calculation unit 27 calculates the results of the unspecified competition based on calculation conditions specified after playing, allowing player P to check the results of the unspecified competition based on various calculation conditions after playing. Furthermore, for player P making a reservation for one person, because it is a reservation to participate in a competition, it is less hesitant to make a reservation for one person.
[0059] Furthermore, in the golf reservation system of this embodiment, participation reservations are made by connecting the mobile terminal 1 to the server device 2, entering the unspecified competition, and then inputting the desired conditions of the player P. Unlike an open competition hosted by a golf course, the player P can decide the date, time, and golf course himself. This prevents the player P from finding that an open competition is not being held or that there are no reservations available on the date and time that the player P wants to play.
[0060] Furthermore, the golf reservation system of this embodiment allows multiple calculation conditions to be selected, making it possible to create leaderboards based on a variety of conditions.
[0061] Furthermore, the golf reservation system of this embodiment has a matching unit 26 that connects the server device 2 to the terminal device 3, reserves reservation slots W1, W2, and W3 at the golf course, and assigns players P who have made reservations to the reservation slots W1, W2, and W3, allowing parties P1, P2, and P3 to be created by multiple players P who have made reservations. Also, reservations can be confirmed for the golf course for each reservation slot W1, W2, and W3, rather than for each player P. Therefore, the golf course can accept reservations for parties of four people (or in some cases, a party of three or two people) rather than for each individual player P.
[0062] Furthermore, in the golf reservation system of this embodiment, the matching unit can assign reservation holders other than those who have made reservations to participate in the unspecified competition to reservation slots W1, W2, and W3, allowing those who will enter the unspecified competition and those who will not to form parties and play together. Furthermore, even if the number of participants in the unspecified competition is small, it is possible to complete many parties.
[0063] Furthermore, in the golf reservation system of this embodiment, the results of the unspecified competition are displayed as a leaderboard, so that players P can check the rankings and scores of each player P.
[0064] The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the present invention. In the above embodiment, the results of an unspecified competition are shown as a leaderboard, but the results of the unspecified competition may also include the ranking of the distance that tee shots landed on the fairway on a specified hole, the ranking of the distance that tee shots landed on the pin on a specified hole, so-called longest drive awards, nearest-to-the-pin awards, etc. [Explanation of symbols]
