[0011] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the invention (also referred to as the present invention) according to the present disclosure will be described using the drawings. Note that the drawings are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited to those shown in the drawings. For example, the numbers of communication terminals (employee terminals, owner terminals, lessee terminals), servers (information processing devices), database servers, employees, owners, lessees, facilities, spaces, etc., as well as data sets (tables), flowcharts, display screens, etc. shown in the drawings are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited to these.

[0012] In recent years, there has been a growing trend to provide office buildings with a variety of spaces and facilities, such as conference rooms, individual booths, and event spaces, in order to increase the added value of those buildings. Furthermore, systems have been developed that allow tenants who rent and occupy office buildings to use an app to reserve facilities in those buildings and check in and out when using them. By introducing an app and allowing tenants to use it, office building owners can gain an understanding of the usage status of facilities within the building through the app.

[0013] Conventionally, facilities in office buildings are operated by paying points as payment when using them. Points are a concept in which a service can be enjoyed in exchange for points themselves, and may be digital currency with monetary value. Here, points used by tenant users when using the facility may be paid for by the tenant, or the tenant users may personally pay for (i.e., purchase) the points. Tenants often desire to know the points they have paid. For this reason, a management department responsible for the operation and management of a tenant, such as a general affairs department, may be able to view the facility usage history of tenant users. In other words, if a user uses an app to use a facility, the management department may be able to view the usage history even if the user uses the facility for personal purposes unrelated to work. This concern has led to users being hesitant to use points, resulting in a problem of not encouraging facility usage.

[0014] In contrast, according to one embodiment of the present invention, if the user pays for facility use with points that they have personally purchased and owned, the user's personal use does not need to be included in the facility usage history provided to the tenant to which the user belongs, thereby protecting the user's privacy and promoting facility use.

[0015] FIG. 1 illustrates an example of an information processing system configuration according to an embodiment of the present invention. Information processing system 600 may be a system that provides a reservation service for multiple facilities installed in a building. Hereinafter, the building will be described as an example of a building rented by one or more companies (tenants) to house their offices. However, the building in this invention is not limited to a building and may include structures such as apartment buildings, commercial facilities, schools, and accommodation facilities (hotels, inns, etc.). Furthermore, buildings may be of any size, including high-rise buildings, commercial complexes, and station buildings. Furthermore, the term "facility" refers to work-related facilities installed in a building that tenants can use, with or without payment, such as conference rooms, reception rooms, private booths for one or two or three people, and web conferencing booths. It also includes rest and refreshment facilities such as saunas, gyms, shower rooms, nap rooms, recreation rooms, chiropractic clinics, beauty salons, and theater rooms, as well as communication-oriented facilities such as cafe spaces, shared lounges, event spaces, and sound studios. It should be noted that facilities are not limited to these. Furthermore, in the present disclosure, facilities are not limited to those located inside a building, but may also include those located outside a building on premises managed by a building owner and available to users.

[0016] In this disclosure, a "user" refers to a user belonging to a company occupying a building, and may refer to employees such as full-time employees, contract employees, and executives engaged in company duties. Hereinafter, a user will also be referred to as an "employee." In this disclosure, an "owner" refers to an entity that owns, manages, and rents out a building to tenants, and may include natural persons and corporations. Hereinafter, an owner will also be referred to as an "owner." In this disclosure, a "tenant" may refer to a company, store, organization, etc. that rents a building. In this disclosure, a tenant may refer to the management department that can view the point usage history, as described above, or an administrator belonging to the management department. Hereinafter, a tenant will also be referred to as a "lessee." Furthermore, in FIG. 1, the owner's communication terminal will be referred to as an "owner terminal," the employee's communication terminal will be referred to as an "employee terminal," and the lessee's communication terminal will be referred to as a "lessee terminal."

[0017] The information processing system 600 may include a server (information processing device) 100, an employee terminal 200, a lessee terminal 300, an owner terminal 400, and a database server 101. These may be connected via a network 500 to send and receive data.

[0018] The network 500 may include a wireless network or a wired network. Specifically, for example, the network 500 may be a wireless LAN (WLAN), a wide area network (WAN), code division multiple access (CDMA), long term evolution (LTE), LTE-Advanced, fourth generation communication (4G), fifth generation communication (5G), sixth generation communication (6G) or later mobile communication system, etc. Note that the network 500 is not limited to these examples and may be, for example, Bluetooth (registered trademark), an optical fiber line, etc. Furthermore, the network 500 may be a combination of these.

[0019] The server 100 may be able to execute various processes related to the facility usage services realized by the information processing system 600. The various processes related to the usage services may include a process for accepting a usage request sent from the employee terminal 200, a process for reserving use of the facility, a process for starting (checking in) and ending (checking out) use, a process for adding and subtracting points held by employees and tenants, and the like.

[0020] The database server 101 may function as a storage unit that stores various information (data) used in the information processing system 600. FIG. 2 is an example of information stored in the database server 101, and is a table storing the number of points required to use each facility. Table TB10 may be a data set that associates a facility ID (an example of identification information) that uniquely identifies each facility with the facility's type, name, and the number of points required to use the facility. For example, a conference room identified by the facility ID "obj_m1" and named "Conference Room 1" requires 2000 points to be used. Also, a web conference booth identified by the facility ID "obj_b" and named "Booth" requires 500 points to be used. Note that the diagram is an example, and the format of the table may be any format as long as it is possible to identify information related to the points assigned to each facility. The information stored in table TB10 is not limited to that shown in the diagram. For example, the table TB10 may further store information such as the capacity of the facility and the equipment.

[0021] The database server 101 may also store, for example, employee information about employees who use the facility's service. The employee information is information for identifying each employee, and may include, for example, an employee ID that uniquely identifies the employee, the employee's name, an email address, the tenant to which the employee belongs, and the like.

[0022] The owner terminal 400 may be a communication terminal of the owner that performs various settings for the facility usage service. An application for the facility usage service (hereinafter also referred to as a "facility usage app") may be installed in the owner terminal 400, and the owner may be able to use the facility usage app as a user authorized to perform various settings for the facility usage service. Note that installation of an application on the owner terminal 400 is not essential, and a web page for using the facility usage service may be accessed from the owner terminal 400 via a web browser or the like.

[0023] For example, the owner terminal 400 may communicate with the server 100 and, depending on the owner's operation, set the number of points required to use each facility, or set whether or not to include the usage history of employees' points in the facility usage status by the tenant.

[0024] The employee terminal 200 may be a communication terminal of an employee that communicates with the server 100 and uses the facility usage service provided by the information processing system 600. A facility usage app may be installed on the employee terminal 200. Alternatively, installation of an application on the employee terminal 200 is not required, and the employee terminal 200 may be able to access a web page for using the facility usage service provided by the server 100 via a web browser or the like. The employee terminal 200 may display various screens related to facility usage based on information received from the server 100. The employee terminal 200 may also send requests to the server 100 in response to input operations received from the user.

[0025] 3(a) and (b) show examples of facility reservation screens on the employee terminal 200. Note that these are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited thereto. On screen D1 in FIG. 3(a), the employee may be able to set the facility to be reserved, the date, the time period (start time, end time, etc.), the participants, etc. Furthermore, on screen D1, the employee may be able to select the type of points to be paid for using the facility. For example, the example of screen D1 includes an area 10 that displays the points (1,000 points in the example) required for using the facility (conference room 1 in the example). When the "Change" button 11 is selected in area 10, the employee terminal 200 may transition to screen D2 in FIG. 3(b). Area 21 on screen D2 may display the number of points available for payment by type, allowing the employee to select the points to be used for payment.

[0026] In one embodiment of the present invention, points may include corporate points and personal points, as shown on screen D2. "Corporate points" may be points distributed by the building owner to a tenant in accordance with a contract between the owner and the tenant. Employees may be able to use points held by the tenant to which they belong when using facilities. "Personal points" may be points purchased by employees at their own expense or distributed by the tenant and permitted for personal use. Employees may be able to select whether to use personal points or corporate points in area 21 of screen D2.

[0027] In this way, by allowing employees to easily choose between corporate points and personal points, it is possible to encourage the use of points and lead to the use of facilities.

[0028] 4(a) to 4(c) are examples of point purchase screens on the employee terminal 200. Employees may select the number of points to purchase, the type of package, etc. on screen D3 in FIG. 4(a). For example, the example of screen D3 displays a list of personal points available for purchase. Users may purchase points in the form of a package that combines multiple types of points. For example, a refresh pack that combines a predetermined number of points that can be used in facilities that offer a refreshing experience, such as a gym or sauna, or an office pack that combines a predetermined number of points that can be used in facilities directly related to work, such as a conference room or private booth, may be set as a package.

[0029] 4(b) is an example of a screen that allows the user to confirm the purchase of points selected on screen D3. When the "Proceed to Purchase" button is selected in area 41 of screen D4, the employee terminal 200 may transition to screen D5 of FIG. 4(c). Screen D5 may include a notification 51 that the purchase of points will be at the employee's personal expense.

[0030] FIG. 5 is an example of a table that stores the history of changes in employee points. In the example of table TB30, an employee identified by the employee ID "user_A" (here, "Employee A") was issued 1,000 personal points on August 1, 2024. In the example of FIG. 5, 1,000 personal points were consumed on August 1, 2024 in response to Employee A's use of a facility. In addition, 2,000 personal points were issued on August 2, 2024. Note that while FIG. 5 shows an example in which a table exists for each employee, the present invention is not limited to this, and any table format is acceptable as long as it is possible to identify changes in points for each employee.

[0031] FIG. 6(a) may be an example of a table storing facility usage history. Table TB50 may store, for each facility, the type of points consumed when using the facility and the total number of points in units of a predetermined number of days (per day in the example of FIG. 6). The point types may be the above-mentioned "corporate points" and "personal points." For example, on August 1, 2024, corporate points were used to use conference room 1, conference room 2, and event space, and personal points were used to use conference room 1. Furthermore, on August 2, 2024, corporate points were used to use the event space, and personal points were used to use the cafe.

[0032] A tenant may wish to view the information stored in table TB50 to understand the facility usage status (i.e., the corporate point usage history) of his / her own users. Here, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the usage history of facilities used with personal points may not be provided to the tenant. The building owner may be able to set whether or not to provide the usage history of facilities used with personal points to the tenant. In the example of FIG. 6, when table TB50 of FIG. 6(a) is stored as the usage history, the information provided to the tenant may be table TB51 of FIG. 6(b). In other words, the information provided to the tenant does not need to include the usage history of personal points.

[0033] In this way, according to one embodiment of the present invention, when providing facility usage history to tenants, usage history based on personal points purchased by employees does not need to be provided, which protects employee privacy and encourages employees to use the facility for personal purposes.

[0034] The building owner may decide whether or not to include the usage history of employees' points in the tenant facility usage record. By disallowing tenants from making this setting, individual privacy can be further protected.

[0035] The building owner may set the facility usage status by tenants to include the usage history of employees' points. This allows tenants to view the usage history of personal points, but information that can identify the employee who used the facility does not need to be provided to the tenant. Information that can identify the employee may be, for example, a user ID. This allows more accurate facility usage status to be provided to tenants.

[0036] Employees may be notified that facility usage history using personal points will not be provided to tenants. For example, screen D5 in FIG. 4(c) may display a notice that points purchases are the employee's personal responsibility and that the points purchased will not be provided to the tenant's management department.

[0037] <Configuration> The hardware configuration and functional configuration of the server 100 and the employee terminal 200 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0038] <Employee terminal> (1) Hardware configuration of employee terminals The employee terminal 200 includes a control unit 210, a communication unit 220, a display unit 230, an input / output unit 240, and a storage unit 270.

[0039] The control unit 210 is typically a processor, and may be realized by a central processing unit (CPU), a micro processing unit (MPU), a graphics processing unit (GPU), etc. The control unit 210 may execute the functions and methods described in each embodiment by reading out a program stored in the storage unit 270 and executing the code or instructions included in the program.

[0040] The storage unit 270 stores various programs and data required for the operation of the employee terminal 200. The storage unit 270 may include, for example, a flash memory. The storage unit 270 may also include memory (such as a RAM (Random Access Memory) or a ROM (Read Only Memory)) that provides a working area for the control unit 210.

[0041] The communication unit 220 may be implemented as hardware such as a network interface card (NIC) or a network adapter, communication software, or a combination of these. The communication unit 220 may transmit and receive various data to and from the server 100 via the network 500. When the communication unit 220 is configured as a physically structured circuit, it may also be expressed as a communication circuit.

[0042] The display unit 230 is a monitor that displays data in accordance with the display data written in the frame buffer, and may be, for example, a touch panel, a touch display, or the like.

[0043] The input / output unit 240 may include an input device for inputting various operations to the employee terminal 200, and an output device for outputting the processing results processed by the employee terminal 200. The input device may include, for example, a touch panel, a touch display, a camera, and a microphone, and the output device may include, for example, a display, a touch panel, a speaker, etc.

[0044] (2) Functional configuration of employee terminals The employee terminal 200 may include a display processing unit 212 and an input / output processing unit 213 as functions implemented by the control unit 210. Of the functional units shown in FIG. 2, functional units that are not essential to each embodiment may be omitted. Furthermore, the functions or processes of each functional unit may be implemented by machine learning or AI (Artificial Intelligence) to the extent feasible. Furthermore, some of the various processes described as being executed by the employee terminal 200 may be executed by the server 100.

[0045] The display processing unit 212 may control the display of data on the display unit 230. For example, the display processing unit 212 may cause the display unit 230 to display a facility reservation screen, a points purchase screen, etc. Examples of the screens may be, for example, screens D1 and D2 in Fig. 3 and screens D3 to D5 in Fig. 4.

[0046] The input / output processing unit 213 may control the transmission of various types of information to external devices via the input / output unit 240. For example, the input / output processing unit 213 may transmit various types of information to each functional unit in response to a user's input operation received by an input device, or may transmit information from each functional unit to an output device (not shown), such as a touch panel, monitor, or speaker. The input / output processing unit 213 may receive a selection made by an employee on a screen displayed on the display unit 230.

[0047] <server> (1) Server hardware configuration The server 100 may include a control unit 110, a communication unit 120, and a storage unit 170.

[0048] The control unit 110 is typically a processor, and may include a central processing unit (CPU), MPU, GPU, microprocessor, etc., and may be realized by a logic circuit (hardware) formed in an integrated circuit (IC (Integrated Circuit) chip, LSI (Large Scale Integration)), etc., or a dedicated circuit.

[0049] The storage unit 170 stores various programs and various data required for the operation of the server 100. The storage unit 170 may include, for example, a hard disk drive (HDD), a solid state drive (SSD), a flash memory, etc. The storage unit 170 may also include a memory that provides a working area for the control unit 110.

[0050] The communication unit 120 may be implemented as hardware such as a NIC or a network adapter, communication software, or a combination of these. The communication unit 120 may transmit and receive various data to and from the employee terminal 200 and the owner terminal 400 via the network 500.

[0051] (2) Server functional configuration The server 100 may include a receiving unit 111, a point processing unit 112, a providing unit 113, a setting unit 114, and an output unit 115 as functions realized by the control unit 110. Of the functional units shown in FIG. 7, functional units that are not essential to each embodiment may be omitted. Furthermore, the functions or processes of each functional unit may be realized by machine learning or AI to the extent feasible.

[0052] The reception unit 111 may receive a facility use request from an employee. The use request may be transmitted via a facility reservation app on the employee terminal 200. The reception unit 111 may also receive from the employee a designation as to whether points owned by the lessee or the employee will be used when using the facility. These are as described using FIG. 4.

[0053] The point processing unit 112 may subtract the points required to use the facility for which a usage request has been received from the points held by the lessee or the points held by the employee, in accordance with the employee's designation. That is, if the employee designates the lessee's points (corporate points), the number of points required to use the facility may be subtracted from the total number of corporate points. Also, if the employee designates the employee's points (personal points), the number of points required to use the facility may be subtracted from the total number of personal points. This is as explained using Figures 4 and 5.

[0054] The providing unit 113 may provide the lessee with the usage history of points held by the lessee as the lessee's facility usage status. In this case, if the owner has set the facility usage status by the lessee not to include the usage history of points held by employees, the providing unit 113 may provide the lessee with only the usage history of points held by the lessee as the lessee's facility usage status. This is as explained using FIG. 6.

[0055] The setting unit 114 may accept a setting by the owner as to whether or not to include the usage history of points held by employees in the facility usage status by the lessee.

[0056] The output unit 115 may output information to be displayed on the employee terminal 200, the lessee terminal 300, and the owner terminal 400.

[0057] <Server control flowchart> The control method of the server 100 described above will be explained using the flowchart in Fig. 8. The reception unit 111 may receive a request from an employee of a building lessee using an application installed by the building owner to use a facility installed in the building (step S11). The point processing unit 112 may deduct the points required to use the facility for which the request for use has been received from the points held by the lessee or the points held by the employee, in accordance with a specification by the employee (step S12). The provision unit 113 may provide the lessee with a usage history based on the points held by the lessee as the lessee's facility usage status (step S13).

[0058] While the present invention has been described based on the drawings and examples, it should be noted that those skilled in the art would readily be able to make various modifications and alterations based on the present disclosure. Therefore, it should be noted that these modifications and alterations are within the scope of the present invention. For example, the functions of each component, step, etc. may be rearranged so as not to cause logical inconsistencies, and multiple components, steps, etc. may be combined or separated into one. Furthermore, the configurations described in the above embodiments may be appropriately combined. For example, each component described as being included in server 100 may be realized in a distributed manner across multiple servers. Furthermore, each process described as being performed by employee terminal 200 may be performed by server 100. Conversely, each process described as being performed by server 100 may be performed by employee terminal 200.

[0059] 1 shows only one server 100, but this is not limiting. That is, each function described as being provided by server 100 may be realized by multiple servers. Furthermore, server 100 may be, for example, a distributed server system that cooperates by communicating via a network, or may be a so-called cloud server. That is, server 100 is not limited to a physical server, and may also include a virtual server created by software.

[0060] 1, only one database server 101 is shown, separate from the server 100, but the database server 101 may be integrated into the server 100. That is, the database server 101 may be a volatile memory or a non-volatile memory of the server 100. The database server 101 may also be composed of multiple storage devices. The database server 101 may be connected to the server 100 via a dedicated internal network different from the network 500, or may be connected to the server 100 via the network 500.

[0061] Furthermore, the employee terminal 200, the lessee terminal 300, and the owner terminal 400 are not limited to those shown in FIG. 1 and may be any terminal that can realize the functions of each embodiment. For example, the employee terminal 200 and the owner terminal 400 may be a computer (e.g., a tablet, a desktop computer, or a laptop) or a wearable device (glasses-type device, watch-type device, etc.). Note that one user or owner may use multiple communication devices (e.g., a smartphone and a laptop, etc.).

[0062] The programs of the embodiments of the present disclosure may be provided in a state stored in a storage medium readable by a server, which is an information processing device. The storage medium may store the program in a "non-transitory tangible medium." The programs include, for example, software programs and information processing device programs. When the functional units of the server 100 are realized by software, the server 100 functions as a receiving unit 111, a points processing unit 112, a providing unit 113, a setting unit 114, and an output unit 115 by having a processor execute programs loaded into memory.

[0063] The storage medium may, where appropriate, include one or more semiconductor-based or other integrated circuits (ICs) (e.g., field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), application specific ICs (ASICs), etc.), hard disk drives (HDDs), hybrid hard drives (HHDs), optical disks, optical disk drives (ODDs), magneto-optical disks, magneto-optical drives, floppy diskettes, floppy disk drives (FDDs), magnetic tapes, solid state drives (SSDs), RAM drives, secure digital cards or drives, any other suitable storage media, or any suitable combination of two or more of these. The storage medium may, where appropriate, be volatile, non-volatile, or a combination of volatile and non-volatile.

[0064] Furthermore, the program of the present disclosure may be provided to the server 100 via any transmission medium (such as a communication network or broadcast waves) capable of transmitting the program.

[0065] Furthermore, each embodiment of the present disclosure may be realized in the form of a data signal embedded in a carrier wave, in which a program is embodied by electronic transmission.
