  • Publication number: 20220383209
    Abstract: An information provision device acquires weather information indicating weather of at least one golf course at each of future playing frames included in playing frames of the at least one golf course. The information provision device acquires history information indicating logs of whether any of specific reservation holders canceled a reservation for any of past specific playing frames.

  • Patent number: 11461005
    Abstract: A control unit includes a posture detecting unit that detects inclination of an electronic device to a horizontal plane perpendicular to a gravitational direction by using output of a sensor mounted on the electronic device, and a position selecting unit that selects a position to display a touch operation area, which is an area for receiving a touch operation to the touch screen. The position selecting unit selects the position to display the touch operation area from a right position and a left position away from each other in a lateral direction of the touch screen based on the inclination (angle) of a lateral axis to the horizontal plane. According to this structure, when operating the electronic device having the touch screen with one hand, a user can display the touch operation area at an appropriate position by an intuitive operation.

  • Publication number: 20220207435
    Abstract: A provisional-check-in request data reception module 80 acquires location data indicating a location of a terminal used by a participant. A provisional-check-in processing execution module 82 updates, based on the location indicated by the location data and a location relating to a venue of an event, check-in status data of the participant included in reservation data to check-in status data indicating a provisionally-checked-in status. A check-in processing execution module 86 updates, in response to a check-in request received from any one of a plurality of participants, the check-in status data of another of the participants which is included in the reservation data and which is associated with the check-in status data indicating the provisionally-checked-in status, to the check-in status data indicating a checked-in status.

  • Patent number: 10691708
    Abstract: A reservation for two or more continuous time frames can be easily made. An information processing apparatus searches for two or more time continuous frames that can be reserved according to a user's request. In addition, the information processing apparatus searches for two or more continuous time frames including at least one reserved time frame in response to a request from the user and having a possibility of being able to be reserved as another user who has reserved the reserved time frames accepts movement of the reserved time frames. Then, a result of a search for two or more continuous time frames that can be reserved and a result of a search for two or more continuous time frames that include a reserved time frame and have a possibility of being able to be reserved are presented in modes distinguishable from each other.

  • Publication number: 20170109660
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a communication unit, a storage unit, and a control unit. The communication unit is capable of communicating with a plurality of user terminals. The storage unit stores plan information on a plurality of golf plans, the plurality of golf plans each including a different play condition in a predetermined golf course and being available for reservation. The control unit is capable of controlling the communication unit to send the plan information to one of the plurality of user terminals and accept a reservation for a golf plan selected by a user from the user terminal. Further, the control unit is capable of controlling the storage unit to change play a condition of a different one of the golf plans in the plan information or add a new golf plan to the plan information in accordance with the number of reservations for a predetermined golf plan, the new golf plan including a play condition different from the play conditions of the plurality of golf plans.

  • Publication number: 20150220855
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus judges, based on a reservation history, a user who is shy to make a reservation of a reservation frame which has not been reserved by any person. The information processing apparatus acquires a browsing history of the reservation frame which has not been reserved by any person and is specified based on a request for the reservation frame information from the first user who is shy to make the reservation of the reservation frame which has not been reserved by any person. The information processing apparatus extracts, based on the browsing history, a second user who has browsed the reservation frame information. The information processing apparatus causes a profile of the second user to be presented to the first user in association with the reservation frame whose reservation frame information has been browsed.

  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20150206071
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus acquires the number of users reserving reservation frames. When the number of users in a first reservation frame is smaller than the minimum number of users, the apparatus searches for a second reservation frame in which a total amount of this number of users and the number of at least part of the users reserving the first reservation frame is equal to or larger than the minimum number of users, from among reservation frames in which the number of users is smaller than the maximum number of users. The apparatus outputs information of giving a user reserving a reservation frame, which is the first or second reservation frame, and in which the number of users is smaller than the minimum number of users, a proposal to change the reservation to the other of the first reservation frame and the second reservation frame.
