    Abstract: A reservation for two or more continuous time frames can be easily made.

  • Publication number: 20150213377
    Abstract: Places that are reservable for a time period desired by a user are flexibly searched for. An information processing apparatus identifies a desired time period for a user to use a place. The information processing apparatus searches for places reservable throughout the identified desired time period. The information processing apparatus also searches for combinations of two or more places that would be reservable continuously throughout the desired time period if the place to be reserved were changed during the identified desired time period. Then the information processing apparatus causes the result of the search for places reservable throughout the desired time period and the result of the search for combinations of two or more places reservable continuously throughout the desired time period to be presented in a mutually distinguishable form.
