Title: Adult establishment reservation service providing system and method, and recording medium in which computer-readable program for executing method is recorded

Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The present invention relates to a system and method for providing an online service, and more particularly, to a system and method for providing a reservation service for an adult establishment through a communication network. 
     BACKGROUND ART 
     Recently, with the development of communication technology, reservation culture has become common. Accordingly, in general, in order to enjoy a movie or performance, a seat is reserved in advance by accessing a reservation system provided by a theater or performance hall. 
     However, this type of reservation may be applied to a simple type of service, such as when a seat arrangement or a service price is already confirmed, but there is a problem in that it is difficult to apply it as it is to various other types of services. 
     For example, in the case of a nightclub, table arrangement and service prices are variable, and table service may also be provided in various forms by a manager (MD) in charge of the service. 
     Accordingly, in general, all reservations at nightclubs are conducted using phone calls or messengers (KakaoTalk, WeChat, Line, WhatsApp, etc.) between the customer and the adult establishment MD. However, this type of manual reservation is not only inconvenient in itself, but also has a problem in that large and small disputes may occur in the reservation process.

     BEST MODE 
     Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. 
       FIG.  1    is a schematic block diagram of an adult establishment reservation service providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to  FIG.  1   , an adult establishment reservation service providing system includes a service manager list providing unit  110 , a service manager information providing unit  120 , a table arrangement information providing unit  130 , a table price information providing unit  140 , a reservation information providing unit  150 , a reservation setting unit  160 , a table price information storage unit  170 , a clearing request transmission unit  180 , a reservation-state change request input unit  190 , and a reservation-state change unit  195 , and the table arrangement information providing unit  130  again includes an image drawing providing unit  132 , and an activation drawing providing unit  134 . 
     Each of the components of the adult establishment reservation service providing system in  FIG.  1    may be implemented only with hardware, but will generally be implemented with hardware and software operating on the hardware. 
     The service manager list providing unit  110  provides a list of service managers of adult establishment to the user terminal when receiving an adult establishment selection from the user terminal, and the service manager information providing unit  120  provides information of the selected service manager to the user terminal when some of the service managers provided in the service manager list are selected from the user terminal. 
     According to this configuration, it is possible to easily identify and select information about a number of service managers of various adult establishments in charge of table service, and by making reservations through public systems rather than through private communications, it is possible to reduce the possibility of disputes as well as the convenience of reservations. 
     More specifically, the reservation method when selecting an adult establishment is as follows.  FIGS.  2  to  4    are initial screens of a user terminal output for table reservation in the adult establishment reservation service providing system of  FIG.  1   . 
     When accessing the adult establishment page to promote the service manager&#39;s own sales activities, a list of all service managers in the adult establishment appears, and the following procedure is followed to make a reservation. 
     1) Select adult establishment. 
     2) A list of service managers (service manager name, service manager rating, number of service manager selections are shown) appears, and click the corresponding service manager. 
     As for the list sorting method, the basic order should be the advertisement at the top, and after sorting, it is possible to sort by rating, number of selections, and team. 
     3) The service manager promotion page appears, and it is possible to make a reservation for the service manager in the lower window. 
     4) If selecting the service manager, it is possible to select table reservation/guest application/paid admission. 
     In this case, the price information may include price information set in advance for the table, and may further include a current bid price for the table. According to this configuration, it is possible to stably provide a table price set in advance according to table arrangement, etc., and in a special situation, it is possible to provide a table price suitable for the situation through an auction. Also, the price information may further include an immediate winning bid for the table. 
     Let&#39;s explain it with a more specific example as follows.  FIGS.  5  to  8    are user terminal output screens for general reservation, and  FIGS.  9  and  10    are output screens of the user terminal for auction reservation. 
     1. General Reservation: After selecting adult establishment, a list of service managers is provided, and after selecting a specific service manager, it goes to the reservation screen. 
     2. Auction: The auction may be activated by the auction function by selecting a specific table. 
     1) Same-day auction: When the auction is held on the same day, it is possible to bid by amount, and the highest bid is selected when the bidding end time set by the owner is reached, and the winning bid will be selected immediately when an immediate successful bid is bid before that. 
     2) Auction a few days ago: The auction is possible from several days before the owner&#39;s authority, and the highest bid is awarded at the end of the bidding time. 
     3. Waiting: When the table is full, a pop-up window will appear and you will automatically go to the waiting alarm request. When an empty table appears, a notification is sent to all waiting people, and depending on the table setting, you may make a general reservation or an auction reservation. 
     When a table reservation request is input from the user terminal, the table arrangement information providing unit  130  provides table arrangement information of an adult establishment to the user terminal, and when the table is selected by the user terminal, the table price information providing unit  140  provides price information on the selected table to the user terminal. 
     The reservation information providing unit  150  transmits the determined reservation information to the terminal of the service manager when the reservation for the table is determined by the user terminal, and the reservation setting unit  160  sets a reservation for the table when there is an approval input from the service manager terminal. 
     Since managers (service managers) receive reservations from an adult establishment and handle customers&#39; claims by managing customers on a one-to-one basis, the role of managers is essential, so that the managers must have access to reservation management privileges. 
     According to the present invention, even for an adult establishment such as a nightclub where the price of table arrangement and service is variable, it is possible to easily grasp information such as various current table layouts or table prices of an adult establishment, so that reservations may be made more easily and effectively. 
     The table arrangement information providing unit  130  includes an image drawing providing unit  132  that provides an image drawing of an adult establishment in which the table arrangement status is shown to a user terminal, and an activation drawing providing unit  134  that provides a drawing in which when a partial area of the image drawing is selected from the user terminal, the partial area is enlarged and the table select function is activated, and the image drawing providing unit  132  may provide by displaying the selected table on the image drawing when the table is selected through the activated drawing. 
     According to this configuration, even when using a mobile terminal with a small screen, it is possible to easily understand the entire table arrangement or reservation status of an adult establishment, and it is possible to prevent touch errors by using the enlarged screen when entering an actual reservation. 
     To this end, the owner uploads a bird&#39;s eye view of his adult establishment to the Internet, and puts a layer on top of the image so that all tables may be managed at a glance. However, for each adult establishment, there is an adult establishment that is divided into 1st and 2nd floors, or there is an adult establishment made with A zone B zone, and the like. Therefore, multiple bird&#39;s-eye views may be uploaded and managed through the tab function. The reservation status made in this way is then accessed by users, managers, etc. to use the reservation function.  FIGS.  11  to  14    are diagrams illustrating an example of an adult establishment owner uploading a bird&#39;s eye view of their adult establishment and arranging a table layout. 
     If checking a bird&#39;s eye view of the store for reservations in the app, an ‘image’ showing the current status of each table is uploaded and displayed. The image in the current state is called a ‘small bird&#39;s eye view’, and it is impossible to click the table. This ‘small bird&#39;s eye view’ is refreshed after the data is updated and imaged whenever the state of the table changes. (Refresh request whenever table data is changed)  FIGS.  15  and  16    are diagrams showing examples of small and large bird&#39;s-eye views, respectively. 
     When double-clicking the ‘small bird&#39;s eye view’ in the app, it is enlarged to the same size as the size shown on the web bird&#39;s eye view editing page, which is called a ‘large bird&#39;s eye view’. In the ‘large bird&#39;s eye view’, the object is activated for each table rather than an image, and in the current state, it is possible to select and reserve by touching the table. In the ‘large bird&#39;s eye view’ state, it is possible to further enlarge the bird&#39;s eye view. When double-clicking on ‘large bird&#39;s eye view’, it changes back to ‘small bird&#39;s eye view’. 
     At this time, in the activated drawing, a tab that performs a table select input function may be arranged on the image of the table in the same size as the corresponding table, and may be arranged on the table images corresponding to each other in the same size.  FIGS.  17  and  18    are diagrams respectively illustrating different examples in which a table select input function tab is disposed on a table of a bird&#39;s eye view. 
       FIG.  17    shows an example in which the table select input function tabs of different colors are overlapped with the same size as the corresponding table, and  FIG.  18    shows an example in which different tables are arranged in a portion of a table with the same size regardless of the table size. 
     The table price information storage unit  170  stores the price information set in advance for the entire adult establishment table. According to this configuration, by using the overall price configuration preset for each situation such as weekdays, weekends, Christmas, etc., it is possible to easily apply an appropriate table price according to the situation. 
     In this case, the stored price is generally a price set in advance by an administrator or the like, but may be a price that was actually reserved and applied in the past. 
     When the clearing request transmission unit  180  receives a table emptying request from the terminal of the service manager, it transmits the received table emptying request to the terminal of the preset table manager, and the reservation-state change request input unit  190  receives a reservation update request for the table from the table manager terminal, and the reservation-state change unit  195  changes the reservation state for the table and displays the reservation-possible state for the image drawing. 
     According to this configuration, when the use of the table is finished, it is possible to effectively update the reservation condition for the next use and update the table reservation status. 
     Although the present invention has been described with reference to some preferred embodiments, the scope of the present invention should not be limited thereto, but should also extend to modifications or improvements of the above embodiments supported by the claims.
