  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

<Embodiment 1>
FIG. 1 shows a configuration example of an entire equipment rental management system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The equipment lending management system 10 includes a lending management server 12 connected to a network 11 such as a LAN (local area network), and an operation terminal for accessing the lending management server 12 via the network 11 and taking a procedure for borrowing equipment. 13a, 13b, 13c. Here, three operation terminals 13a, 13b, and 13c are shown. However, the number of operation terminals is not limited to three, and more operation terminals are usually connected. These operation terminals include personal computers, PDAs, and mobile phones. Such mobile terminals are generally used. The operation terminal 13c is a terminal that performs pre-registration with the lending management server 12 such as registration of equipment information. The network 11 is connected to the operation terminal and the lending management server 12 by wire or wireless.

  The lending management server 12 is a lending status data for registering the lending status of the lending information registered in the leasing information data file 14 and the lending information registered in the leasing information data file 14. There was a file 15, a borrower borrowing the above equipment, a borrower data file 16 for registering the number of violations corresponding to the borrower when the borrower does not return by the due date, and an application for borrowing The lending permission determination unit 17 that detects whether or not the applicant is registered in the borrower data file 16 and determines whether the lending is permitted or not based on the number of violations, and the lending If it is determined by the availability determination unit 17 that it cannot be lent, the fact is lent A lending notifying unit 18 to notify the write's, these data files 14, 15, 16 and lending permission determination unit 17, consisting of lending management control unit 19 for controlling the lending notification unit 18.

  The lending permission / inhibition determining unit 17 includes a comparison circuit that compares the predetermined number of times with the number of violations of the applicant's lending.

  Before operating the lending management server 12, the administrator registers equipment information in the equipment information data file 14 using the operation terminal 13c. Therefore, the equipment information data file 14 stores the equipment name, the data of the location of the equipment, and the like corresponding to the equipment number of the equipment.

  Next, the operation of the equipment rental management system will be described with reference to FIG. First, in step S201, for example, it is assumed that there is an application for equipment rental from the operation terminal 13a. The application data is sent to the lending management server 12 via the network 11. The lending management control unit 19 of the lending management server 12 inquires of the lending status data file 15 whether or not the equipment for which lending has been applied is being lent (step S202). The lending status data file 15 is a file that stores the lending status of equipment, and stores the equipment number for identifying the rented equipment, the number of the borrower, the name of the person, the contact information, etc. Yes.

  When the rental status data file 15 is inquired and the requested equipment is being lent, the rent management control unit 19 instructs the rent notification unit 18 to apply the application to the address of the applicant of the operation terminal 13a. An e-mail indicating that the equipment is currently rented is created, notified to the operation terminal 13a via the network 11 (step S203), and the process ends.

  On the other hand, if it is found that the applied equipment is not being lent out, the number of violations of the applicant is detected in step S204. More specifically, in this step, the lending management control unit 19 checks the borrower data file 16 to check whether the present applicant has borrowed equipment in the past. If the equipment has been borrowed in the past, the number of violations of the person is detected and the value is obtained. If the applicant has not borrowed equipment in the past, the applicant is registered in the borrower data file 16 and the number of violations is set to zero.

  In the next step S205, the lending management control unit 19 sends the number of violations acquired as described above to the lending permission / non-permission determining unit 17, and compares it with a predetermined number of violations, for example, 3 in a comparison circuit (not shown). When the acquired number of violations is larger than a predetermined number, the lending permission / inhibition determining unit 17 sends lending / rejecting information to the lending management control unit 19, and the lending management control unit 19 instructs the lending notification unit 18 to apply. The e-mail is sent to the operation terminal 13a via the network 11 (step S206), and the process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when it is detected in the loan permission / prohibition determination unit 17 in step S20 that the acquired number of violations is equal to or less than a predetermined number and can be loaned, the loan management control unit 19 can loan to the loan notification unit 18. Is created, and the mail is transmitted to the operation terminal 13a in step S207. Thereafter, the equipment actually applied for is rented out to the applicant (step S208).

<Embodiment 2>
A second embodiment in which the present invention is applied to the next equipment rental reservation will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 3 shows a configuration example of the entire equipment rental management system of this embodiment.

  The equipment lending management system 30 is a lending management server 32 connected to a network 31, for example, a LAN (local area network), and an operation for accessing the lending management server 32 via the network 31 and taking a procedure for borrowing equipment. It consists of terminals 33a, 33b and 33c. In this embodiment, for example, an example of borrowing equipment in one company will be described. The borrower is therefore an employee of the company.

  Here, three operation terminals 33a, 33b, and 33c are shown. However, the number of operation terminals is not limited to three, and more operation terminals are usually connected. These operation terminals include personal computers, PDAs, and mobile phones. Such mobile terminals are generally used.

  The operation terminal 33c is a terminal that performs pre-registration to the lending management server 32, such as registration of equipment information. The network 31 is connected to the operation terminal and the lending management server 32 by wire or wireless.

  The lending management server 32 registers a lending status data for registering a lending status of a lending device registered in the leasing information data file 34 and a lending information data file 34 for registering a lending device as a book or a lending object. There was a file 35, a borrower borrowing the above equipment, a borrower data file 36 for registering the number of violations corresponding to the borrower when the borrower does not return the loan by the due date, and an application for borrowing. A reservation availability determination unit 37 that detects whether or not the applicant is registered in the borrower data file 36, and if the applicant is further registered, determines whether or not to lend reservation based on the number of violations; Lending by the reservation data file 38 for registering the reservation status of equipment and the reservation availability determination unit 37 If it is determined that the reservation cannot be made, the reservation notifying unit 39 for notifying the lending reservation applicant to that effect, and the lending for controlling the data files 34, 35, and 36, the reservation availability determining unit 37, and the reservation notifying unit 38 And a management control unit 40.

  The reservation availability determination unit 37 includes a comparison circuit that compares a predetermined number of times with the number of violations of lending by the applicant.

  Before operating the lending management server 32, the administrator registers equipment information in the equipment information data file 34 using the operation terminal 33c. Accordingly, the equipment information data file 34 stores the equipment name and the data of the location of the equipment where the equipment is located in the company, in correspondence with the equipment number of the equipment.

  The lending status data file 35 stores the lending status of the equipment. Specifically, the equipment number of the equipment that is rented, the employee number of the lender, the employee name, its contact information, and the equipment return schedule The temporary seizure flag and the like when there is a reservation are stored. The borrower data file 36 stores the data of the employees who actually borrowed and the employees who have made reservations. Specifically, the employee number, the employee name, the affiliation, and the loan deadline. The number of violations that have not been returned is registered.

  The reservation data file 38 is a file in which the reservation status is stored, and stores the equipment number of the reserved equipment, the employee number of the reservation person, the employee name, the contact information, the reservation date, the reservation order, etc. Yes.

  Next, the operation of this embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. If the equipment is returned in step S500, the rental management control unit 40 searches the rental status data file 35 of FIG. 3 in step S501 for the rental data of the returned equipment, and deletes the rental data in step S502. .

  In the next step S503, the lending management control unit 40 shown in FIG. 3 checks the reservation data file 38, searches for the reservation data of the equipment that has just been returned, and checks whether there is a reservation person in step S504. As a result, when there is no reservation person, it moves to step S505, sets the rental status of the returned equipment in the rental status data file 35 to be empty, and ends.

  On the other hand, when it is detected in step S504 that there is a reservation person, the lending management control unit 40 checks the borrower data file 36 in step S506 and acquires data related to the reservation person. In step S507, the lending status of the equipment in the lending status data file 35 is set as a temporary seizure, and in step S508, the lending management control unit 40 causes the reservation notifying unit 39 to create an e-mail addressed to the reservation person's address, It notifies the reservation person via the network 31 that he / she is making a temporary seizure, that period, and that the temporary seizure will be released after that period.

  In the next step S509, it is detected whether the notified reservation person has actually borrowed the equipment within the temporary seizure period. If the reservation person actually borrowed in step S509, in step SS510, the lending management control unit 40 enters the reservation person as the borrower in the borrowing situation of the equipment in the lending situation data file 35, and the reservation person data. The reservation data in the file 38 is deleted, and the process ends.

  On the other hand, if the reservation person has not borrowed the relevant equipment within the provisional seizure period in step S509, the rent management control unit 40 cancels the provisional seizure of the rent situation of the equipment in the rent situation data file 35 in step S511.

  In the next step S512, the lending management control unit 40 checks the reservation data file 38 and detects whether there is a next reservation person. If there is a next reservation person, the process returns from step S512 to step S504, and the borrowing data file 36 is examined to obtain data relating to the reservation person. Similarly, provisional seizure, provisional seizure notification, etc. are performed for this reservation person.

  If it is determined in step S512 that the reservation data file 38 is checked and there is no next reservation person, the process ends here.

  Next, the procedure for applying for equipment rental reservation will be described with reference to FIG. In step S601, if there is an application for reservation of specific equipment from a certain operation terminal, for example, the operation terminal 33b, via the network 31, in step S602, the lending control unit 40 checks the borrower data file, and the lending time limit to the reservation applicant is determined. Detects whether there is a violation history in which equipment has not been returned. If there is no violation history for the reservation person in step S603, the lending management control unit 40 registers the reservation of the applicant in the reservation data file 38 in step S604 and ends. If the applicant has never borrowed equipment, he / she is registered in the borrower data file 36.

  If the applicant has a violation history in step S603, the borrower data file 36 is examined in step S605 to detect whether the number of violations is more than a predetermined number, for example, 3. If the number of violations is smaller than that, for example, if the violation has only been made twice, the borrowing management control unit 40 is notified in step S606 that the reservation cannot be made if the reservation notification unit 39 is violated once more. An e-mail is created, the e-mail address of the applicant is notified, and then the reservation is registered in step S604 in the reservation data file 38, and the process is terminated.

  On the other hand, if the number of violations of the person who applied for the reservation in step S605 is three times, for example, the number of violations is greater than the predetermined number of violations, the process proceeds to step S607 and the lending management control unit 40 reserves in the reservation notification unit 39. Create an e-mail to the effect that the request cannot be made, notify the applicant, and exit.

  In this way, it is possible to prevent an applicant who has a predetermined number of violations that are not returned before the return deadline from accepting an equipment reservation application.

  In the above embodiment, the warning notification in step S606 may not be performed.

  By the way, in the said embodiment, the frequency | count that the borrower did not return equipment by the borrowing time limit was made into the frequency | count of violation. This number of violations includes cases where equipment was borrowed but the borrowed equipment was returned (arrears) and equipment was not returned after all. Of course, as the number of violations, the number of violations may be set only when the borrowed equipment is returned although it is late, or only when the equipment is not returned after all.
