A vehicle use ticket assignment system for assigning a vehicle use ticket for a vehicle for which there is at least one fixed route and there is a fixed get-on/off enable point on the route is disclosed. The system receives a condition that includes a departure point and does not include a designation of a destination, and extracts a predetermined number of destination candidates that can be reached from the departure point by the at least one fixed route. After an application for a ticket for a vehicle is received from an information processing terminal, the system selects and assigns to the user one of boarding tickets to each of the extracted predetermined number of destination candidates based on a predetermined criterion.

Vehicle use ticket assignment system

An airline ticket sales system having a stock recording unit retaining a stock of flights, and a destination candidate extraction unit including: receiving an input of at least one condition from a user via an information processing terminal, information about a destination airport being excluded from the condition; acquiring, from the stock recording unit, information about outbound candidate flights and inbound candidate flights satisfying the condition; extracting, as candidate airports, a predetermined number from airports common to arrival airports of the outbound candidate flights and departure airports of the inbound candidate flights; selecting, based on a predetermined criterion, one from round-trip candidate flights composed of combinations of the outbound candidate flights and the inbound candidate flights among the departure airports of the outbound candidate flights specified by the condition and the respective candidate airports; and regarding the selected one as a to-be-sold round-trip flight.

A user location information detection and tracking system includes an IC tag that a user can carry, a user terminal configured to receive identification information outputted from the IC tag, a magnetic field device configured to form a magnetic field in a predetermined area, and a managing device communicably connected to the user terminal. The IC tag outputs at a predetermined timing, as the identification information, tag ID for identifying the IC tag, in response to detection of the magnetic field formed by the magnetic field device, the IC tag outputs, as the identification information, magnetic field identification information for identifying the magnetic field, and in response to the identification information received from the IC tag, the user terminal sends the identification information to the managing device.
