Abstract

An information processing system includes a processor configured to cancel a first reservation of a place made by a first person for a time window in a case where a predetermined condition is met, and in a case where the first reservation has been cancelled, transmit information indicating that the place has become available to a second person who made a second reservation of the place for a time window different from the time window of the first reservation.

Claims (36)

1. An information processing system comprising a terminal; and

a server that includes a processor configured to: cancel a first reservation of a place made by a first person for a first time window where a predetermined condition is met,

due to cancelling the first reservation, transmit information indicating that the place has become available to the terminal, and

unlock the place when a signal is received from the terminal requesting the place to be unlocked for the first time window, wherein the terminal is used by a second person who made a second reservation of the place for a second time window different from the first time window, the signal indicates that the second person has been authenticated by the terminal,

the processor cancels the first reservation where the first person made the first reservation under a flat-rate charging system, and

the processor does not cancel the first reservation where the first person made the first reservation under a charging system for charging a fee per usage of the place.

2. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein

the second reservation is on a date of the first reservation.

3. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein

the second reservation immediately succeeds the first reservation and/or the second reservation immediately precedes the first reservation.

4. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein

the second time window is immediately succeeding the first time window and/or the second time window is immediately preceding the first time window.

5. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein

due to cancelling the first reservation, the processor transmits information indicating that the first reservation has been cancelled to the first person.

6. The information processing system according to claim 5 , wherein

the first reservation has been cancelled without an instruction from the first person, and the processor transmits the information indicating that the first reservation has been cancelled to the first person.

7. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor cancels the first reservation because a user of the place does not arrive at the place.

8. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor does not cancel the first reservation where information indicative of prohibition of reservation cancellation is registered in association with the first reservation.

9. The information processing system according to claim 8 , wherein

the processor changes the first reservation to be different than the first time window and indicates that the first time window is available.

10. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein

the second person meets a specific condition.

11. The information processing system according to claim 10 , wherein

the second person made the second reservation under a charging system for charging a fee per usage of the place.

12. An information processing apparatus comprising a processor configured to:

cancel a first reservation of a place made by a first person for a first time window where a predetermined condition is met,

due to cancelling the first reservation, transmit information indicating that the place has become available to a second person who made a second reservation of the place for a second time window different from the first time window, and

unlock the place when a signal is received from a terminal that has authenticated the second person, the signal requesting the place to be unlocked for the first time window, wherein the processor cancels the first reservation where the first person made the first reservation under a flat-rate charging system; and

the processor does not cancel the first reservation where the first person made the first reservation under a charging system for charging a fee per usage of the place.

13. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for information processing, the process comprising:

cancelling a first reservation of a place made by a first person for a first time window where a predetermined condition is met,

due to cancelling the first reservation, transmitting information indicating that the place has become available to a second person who made a second reservation of the place fora second time window different from the first time window, and

unlocking the place when a signal is received from a terminal that has authenticated the second person, the signal requesting the place to be unlocked for the first time window, wherein the first reservation is cancelled where the first person made the first reservation under a flat-rate charging system; and

the first reservation is not cancelled where the first person made the first reservation under a charging system for charging a fee per usage of the place.
