Claims19
A management system for managing a facility that is available to users, said management system comprising:
- a network provided in the facility and connectible to a terminal;
- a communication part for communicating with the terminal through the network;
- a first memory for storing first information on an availability and status of use of the facility and service associated with the facility, the first information being able to be updated;
- and
- a control part for allowing the user of the terminal to access first information.
A management method for managing a facility that is available to users, said management method comprising the steps of:
- storing first information on an availability and status of use of the facility and service associated with the facility by the users, the first information being able to be updated momentarily and accessible to each of the users through a terminal and an information record carrier that stores the third information;
- storing second information on identification of the users;
- authenticating a person who uses the terminal, based on the second information and third information entered by the person through the terminal and the information record carrier;
- and
- allowing the person to access the first information when said authentication step authenticates the person.
A management device connected to a network provided in a facility that is available to users, and a terminal through the network, said network being connected to a first memory for storing first information on an availability and status of use of the facility and service associated with the facility, the first information being able to be updated momentarily, said management device comprising:
- a second memory for storing second information on identification of the users;
- an authentication part for authenticating a person who uses the terminal, based on the second information in the second memory and third information entered by the person through the terminal, and
- a control part allows the person to access the first information in the first memory when said authentication part authenticates the person.
A program that enables a computer to execute a management method for managing a facility that is available to users, said management method comprising the steps of:
- storing first information on an availability and status of use of the facility and service associated with the facility by the users, the first information being able to be updated momentarily and accessible to each of the users through a terminal and an information record carrier that stores the third information;
- and
- storing second information on identification of the users;
- authenticating a person who uses the terminal, based on the second information and third information entered by the person through the terminal and the information record carrier;
- and
- allowing the person to access the first information when said authentication step authenticates the person.
