An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to acquire reservation information on a rental space and perform, using the reservation information, processing of prompting a user to perform a predetermined task that is to be performed before or after using the rental space.

Claims (56)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a processor programmed to:

acquire reservation information on a reservation of a rental space,

receive an unlock instruction from a user terminal,

transmit the unlock instruction to the rental space,

cause, via the unlock instruction, a door lock integrated with the rental space to be unlocked at a time of a start of the reservation, so that a door of the rental space is unlocked,

acquire a first image of the rental space before a user uses the rental space, and acquire a second image of the rental space when or after the user uses the rental space, the first image and the second image being captured by a camera, and evaluate a cleanliness of the rental space based on a comparison of the first image and the second image, and

perform, using the reservation information, processing of prompting the user to perform a task of cleaning the rental space that is to be performed when or after the user uses the rental space if (i) the cleanliness does not satisfy a predetermined criteria and (ii) if the processor acquired information indicating that the user agreed to perform the task of cleaning.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is programmed to:

perform processing of prompting the user to perform the task of cleaning the rental space in a case where the rental space is not reserved for a predetermined time period.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the processor is programmed to:

in a case where the rental space is continuously used with a plurality of reservations, perform, a predetermined time period before an end time of a last one of the plurality of reservations, processing of prompting the user to perform the task of cleaning the rental space.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is programmed to:

perform processing of prompting the user to perform another task of making the rental space in accordance with a next reservation.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is programmed to:

perform processing of prompting the user to perform another task of making the rental space in accordance with a next reservation.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the processor is programmed to:

perform processing of prompting the user to perform another task of making the rental space in accordance with a next reservation.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the processor is programmed to:

acquire information on a next user, and

in a case where the next user is a physically handicapped person, perform processing of prompting the user to perform, as the task of making the rental space in accordance with a next reservation, a task of moving an obstacle near an entrance of the rental space.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is programmed to:

acquire information on a next user, and

in a case where the next user is a physically handicapped person, perform processing of prompting the user to perform, as the task of making the rental space in accordance with a next reservation, a task of moving an obstacle near an entrance of the rental space.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the processor is programmed to:

acquire information on a next user, and

in a case where the next user is a physically handicapped person, perform processing of prompting the user to perform, as the task of making the rental space in accordance with a next reservation, a task of moving an obstacle near an entrance of the rental space.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is programmed to:

further perform processing of accepting a reservation for the rental space, and

when accepting the reservation, perform processing of prompting the user to perform the task.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the processor is programmed to:

further perform processing of accepting a reservation for a predetermined object to be used in the rental space.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the processor is programmed to:

cancel the reservation for the rental space in a case where the object to be used is unavailable for reservation.

13. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is programmed to:

further perform processing of rewarding the user in accordance with a result of evaluation of the cleanliness.

14. The information processing apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein the processor is programmed to:

acquire predetermined information which is a result of evaluation of a task performed by the user, the evaluation being made by a next user, and

perform processing of rewarding the user in accordance with the acquired result of evaluation.

15. An information processing system comprising:

an information processing apparatus comprising a processor programmed to:

acquire reservation information on a reservation of a rental space,

receive an unlock instruction from a user terminal,

transmit the unlock instruction to the rental space,

cause, via the unlock instruction, a door lock integrated with the rental space to be unlocked at a time of a start of the reservation, so that a door of the rental space is unlocked,

acquire a first image of the rental space before a user uses the rental space, and acquire a second image of the rental space when or after the user uses the rental space, the first image and the second image being captured by a camera, and evaluate a cleanliness of the rental space based on a comparison of the first image and the second image, and

perform, using the reservation information, processing of prompting the user to perform a task of cleaning the rental space that is to be performed when or after the user uses the rental space if (i) the cleanliness does not satisfy a predetermined criteria and (ii) if the processor acquired information indicating that the user agreed to perform the task of cleaning; and

a mobile terminal apparatus that reserves the rental space and displays information provided by the information processing apparatus.

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

acquiring reservation information on a reservation of a rental space;

receiving an unlock instruction from a user terminal;

transmitting the unlock instruction to the rental space;

causing, via the unlock instruction, a door lock integrated with the rental space to be unlocked at a time of a start of the reservation, so that a door of the rental space is unlocked;

acquiring a first image of the rental space before a user uses the rental space, and acquiring a second image of the rental space when or after the user uses the rental space, the first image and the second image being captured by a camera, and evaluating a cleanliness of the rental space based on a comparison of the first image and the second image, and

determining (i) that the cleanliness does not satisfy a predetermined criteria and (ii) that the computer acquired information indicating that the user agreed to perform a task of cleaning; and

performing, using the reservation information, processing of prompting the user to perform the task of cleaning the rental space that is to be performed during or after the user uses the rental space.
