Abstract

In a turn management system ( 1000 ), whether or not input to an input device ( 115 ) is not performed for a predetermined period of time is determined, and a standby screen is displayed when it is determined that the input to the input device ( 115 ) is not performed for the predetermined period of time. At the time, a first standby screen is displayed when there is turn waiting in a waiting list, and a second standby screen is displayed when there is no turn waiting in the waiting list. Thus, unneeded issuance of a numbered ticket can be suppressed, and operation interruptions of a worker or the like can be reduced.

wherein the display control means makes a first standby screen be displayed, when there is turn waiting in the waiting list, and a second standby screen be displayed, when there is no turn waiting in the waiting list, and

wherein the display control means calculates predicted waiting time based on the number of waiting groups in the waiting list, determines whether or not the time obtained by adding the predicted waiting time to the present time is within business hours of the facility, and makes the standby screen including a message indicating that reception of turn waiting is ended be displayed when the time is out of the business hours.

2 . The turn management system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the display control means further discriminately presents a plurality of standby screens to be displayed according to the number of groups waiting for a turn when there is turn waiting in the waiting list.

the display control means makes a standby screen including a first message be displayed as the first standby screen when the number of groups waiting for a turn is smaller than a predetermined number, and makes a standby screen including a second message different from the first message be displayed as the first standby screen when the number of groups waiting for a turn is equal to or larger than the predetermined number, and

when there is no turn waiting in the waiting list,

the display control means makes a standby screen including a message of content indicating that turn waiting is unnecessary be displayed as the second standby screen.

4 . A method of controlling display at a display device, in a turn management system that manages turn waiting in a facility under management,

making a first standby screen be displayed when it is determined that the input to the input device is not performed for the predetermined period of time and when there is turn waiting in the waiting list; and

making a second standby screen be displayed when it is determined that the input to the input device is not performed for the predetermined period of time and when there is no turn waiting in the waiting list,

wherein the first standby screen is displayed by:

calculating predicted waiting time based on the number of waiting groups in the waiting list,

determining whether or not the time obtained by adding the predicted waiting time to the present time is within business hours of the facility, and

making a standby screen including a message indicating that reception of turn waiting is ended be displayed as the first standby screen when the time is out of the business hours.

5 . A computer-readable recording medium having a program recorded thereon for making a computer that manages turn waiting of a reservation in a facility under management execute:

determining whether or not input to an input device that receives input for addition or update to a waiting list is not performed for a predetermined period of time;

making a first standby screen be displayed, when it is determined that the input to the input device is not performed for the predetermined period of time and when there is turn waiting in the waiting list, by calculating predicted waiting time based on the number of waiting groups in the waiting list, determining whether or not the time obtained by adding the predicted waiting time to the present time is within business hours of the facility, and making a standby screen including a message indicating that reception of turn waiting is ended be displayed as the first standby screen when the time is out of the business hours, and

making a second standby screen be displayed when it is determined that the input to the input device is not performed for the predetermined period of time and when there is no turn waiting in the waiting list.
