[0027] <Processing> <<Reservation Processing>> Next, an example of processing at the time of reservation in the information processing device 10 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 4 and Fig. 5. Fig. 4 is a sequence diagram showing an example of reservation processing in the information processing system 1 according to the embodiment. Fig. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a reservation DB 501 according to the embodiment.

[0028] In step S101, the user terminal 20 responds to a user operation on the user terminal 20 by transmitting a request to view information on the transaction object (goods or services; hereinafter, also referred to as "goods, etc." as appropriate), benefits related to the transaction object, or information on stores, etc., to the information processing device 10. Here, the user terminal 20 may be authenticated using a user ID and password and logged in to the member service of the information processing device 10, for example.

[0029] The user terminal 20 may acquire and display information from the information processing device 10 using, for example, a web browser or an application provided by the operator of the information processing device 10. In this case, a communication protocol such as HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) or HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) may be used for communication between the user terminal 20 and the information processing device 10.

[0030] Next, the information processing device 10 transmits content including information on the transaction object, benefits related to the transaction object, or store, etc., designated by the user, to the user terminal 20 (step S102). Next, the user terminal 20 displays a display screen based on the information received from the information processing device 10 (step S103). Next, in response to a user operation on the user terminal 20, the user terminal 20 transmits a reservation request for the transaction object, benefits related to the transaction object, or store, etc., to the information processing device 10 (step S104).

[0031] Next, the information processing device 10 reserves the transaction object, the benefit related to the transaction object, or the store, etc., designated by the user for the user (step S105). Here, the information processing device 10 may record information on the product, etc., reserved by the user in the reservation DB 501 of FIG.

[0032] 5 , reservation details and reserving user IDs are associated with reservation IDs and stored in the reservation DB 501. The reservation DB 501 may be stored in a storage device inside the information processing device 10 or in a storage device external to the information processing device 10.

[0033] The reservation ID is identification information for the reservation. The reservation details are information indicating the details of the reservation made by the user. The reservation details may include information such as the details of the benefits selected (specified) in advance by the user, the name of the store for which the user has made a reservation, the transaction object for which the user has made a reservation, and the period for which the service will be provided. The reservation user ID is the user ID of the user who made the reservation.

[0034] <<Processing when a user visits a store>> Next, an example of processing by the information processing device 10 according to the embodiment when a user visits a store will be described with reference to Figs. 6 to 8. Fig. 6 is a sequence diagram showing an example of processing by the information processing system 1 according to the embodiment when a user visits a store. Fig. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a user DB 701 according to the embodiment. Fig. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a transaction target DB 801 according to the embodiment. Below, an example will be described in which a user visits store A where a store terminal 30A is installed.

[0035] In step S201, the store terminal 30A transmits a reservation confirmation request to the information processing device 10. Here, the store terminal 30A may first capture an image (video or still image) of the user's face. Then, the store terminal 30A may transmit the reservation confirmation request including the store ID and the image of the user's face to the information processing device 10.

[0036] Next, the information processing device 10 (control unit 12) identifies the user (step S202). Here, the information processing device 10 may identify the user based on the facial information of the facial image received from the store terminal 30A and the facial information recorded in the user DB 701. Note that the information processing device 10 may identify the user using biometric information other than the face instead of or in addition to the facial information. In this case, the information processing device 10 may identify the user based on, for example, iris information, fingerprint information, palm print information, vein information, or the like.

[0037] 7 , user information, behavioral history, and face information are recorded in association with a user ID in a user DB 701. The user DB 701 may be recorded in a storage device inside the information processing device 10, or may be recorded in a storage device external to the information processing device 10. The information in the user DB 701 may be recorded in advance by an administrator of the information processing device 10, etc.

[0038] The user ID is user identification information. The user information is various information related to the user. The user information may include, for example, the user's name, address, gender, years of service, information about dependents, and bank account information for salary transfers. The behavioral history is the user's behavioral history in the membership service provided by the information processing device 10. The behavioral history may include, for example, information indicating at least one of reservation history, browsing history, search history, and history of specific settings for products, etc. in the membership service provided by the information processing device 10. The specific settings may include, for example, settings for registering products to favorites, bookmarks, likes, and shopping carts. The favorites, bookmarks, and likes may be functions that allow the user to access products, etc. specified by the user with fewer operations than usual (other products, etc.). The shopping cart may be a function that allows the user to list products, etc. that they want to purchase before purchasing them. The facial information is information related to the user's face. The facial information may include, for example, information indicating feature amounts calculated from the user's facial image.

[0039] Next, the information processing device 10 refers to the reservation DB 501 and determines whether the user is eligible to receive the benefit provided by store A (step S203). Here, the information processing device 10 may determine that the user is eligible if, for example, the user has used a membership service to reserve a benefit related to a product or the like sold by store A. Note that if the user is not eligible, the following processing does not need to be executed.

[0040] Next, the information processing device 10 grants benefits such as discounts, presents, and priority entrance to the user (step S204). This allows, for example, a user who makes a reservation using a membership service and then visits a store to receive benefits such as discounts. After making a reservation in advance, the user can use the benefits simply by verifying their identity at the store or facility using, for example, facial recognition. The information processing device 10 may also transmit information indicating benefits such as presents and priority entrance to the store terminal 30A. This allows a store clerk or other person who views the information to provide the user with benefits such as presents and priority entrance.

[0041] Next, the information processing device 10 refers to the user DB 701 and the transaction object DB 801 and identifies a second transaction object corresponding to the user's behavior history in the membership service and store A as a transaction object to be recommended to the user (step S205). In the example of FIG. 8, the transaction object DB 801 stores information on the transaction object type, store address, and business operator in association with the transaction object ID. The transaction object DB 801 may be stored in a storage device internal to the information processing device 10 or in a storage device external to the information processing device 10. The information in the transaction object DB 801 may be recorded in advance by an administrator of the information processing device 10, etc.

[0042] The transaction object ID is identification information for each product, etc. The transaction object type is the type of the transaction object. The transaction object type may include, for example, the name, model number, and attributes of the product, etc. The store address is the address or location (latitude, longitude) of the store selling the transaction object. The business operator is the business operator of the store selling the transaction object.

[0043] (Example of recommending products, etc. according to a store visited based on behavioral history) The information processing device 10 may recommend products, etc. according to a store visited based on behavioral history. As a result, for example, if a user who has set (registered) a specific sports gym as a favorite visits a restaurant, diet dishes supervised by the specific sports gym can be recommended. Also, for example, for a user who has reserved a specific dish at the store they visited, other dishes according to the specific dish can be recommended. Also, for example, if a user who has set (registered) a specific engagement ring sold by a certain business in their shopping cart visits a furniture store run by another business, furniture for the newlyweds can be recommended.

[0044] In this case, the information processing device 10 may, for example, identify, as recommended products, products related to products that the user has reserved, viewed, searched for, or specified among products of each transaction type sold at store A. In this case, the information processing device 10 may, for example, identify the related products based on a pre-set rule-based table. Furthermore, the information processing device 10 may, for example, identify the related products using AI (artificial intelligence) using deep learning or the like.

[0045] (Example of recommending products, etc., from a store located according to the store visited, based on behavioral history) The information processing device 10 may recommend products, etc., from a store located according to the store visited, based on behavioral history. As a result, for example, if a user who has a specific sports gym set as a favorite visits a restaurant in a hotel, it is possible to recommend another sports gym in the hotel that is different from the specific sports gym. Also, for example, if a user who has a specific engagement ring sold by a certain business in their shopping cart visits a furniture store run by another business, and a store selling the engagement ring is nearby, it is possible to recommend the engagement ring and the store.

[0046] In this case, the information processing device 10 may, for example, identify, as recommended products, products related to the product that the user has viewed, searched, or specified, from among products of each transaction type sold at stores located in a location corresponding to store A (for example, within 1 km of store A). In this case, the information processing device 10 may, for example, identify the related products based on a pre-set rule-based table. Furthermore, the information processing device 10 may, for example, identify the related products using AI using deep learning.

[0047] Next, the information processing device 10 transmits information indicating the trading object recommended to the user to the store terminal 30A (step S206). Next, the store terminal 30A makes a notification based on the received recommendation information (step S207).

[0048] <Modifications> The information processing device 10 may be a device contained in a single housing, but the information processing device 10 of the present disclosure is not limited to this. Each unit of the information processing device 10 may be realized, for example, by cloud computing configured with one or more computers. Furthermore, the information processing device 10 and the store terminal 30 may be realized by an integrated device. Such information processing devices 10 are also included in examples of the "information processing device" of the present disclosure.

[0049] The present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be modified as appropriate within the scope of the present disclosure.
