[0010] [Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

[0011] The life of a vehicle depends on how the user uses the vehicle, and there is a tendency for the life of a vehicle used under a high load to be shortened. Therefore, depending on the use of the vehicle before purchase and the use of the vehicle after purchase, the actual life of the vehicle may be shorter than the life assumed by the user. However, in the above-mentioned background technology, the remaining life of the vehicle to be purchased is not determined. Therefore, the life of the vehicle may be exhausted before the usable period assumed by the user who purchased the vehicle at the time of purchase.

[0012] The present application has been completed in view of the above background, and its purpose is to provide a mobile body mediation system and a mobile body mediation method that can match a user who starts using a mobile body such as a vehicle through a transaction with a mobile body that meets the user's desired remaining life condition.

[0013] [Methods for solving the problem]

[0014] As a first scheme for achieving the above-mentioned purpose, there can be cited a mobile body intermediary system, which comprises: a desired remaining life condition identification unit, which identifies the desired remaining life condition of a mobile body for a user who starts using the mobile body through a prescribed transaction; a candidate mobile body remaining life identification unit, which identifies the remaining life of multiple candidate mobile bodies that are candidates for the prescribed transaction; a remaining life consumption degree identification unit, which identifies the remaining life consumption degree based on the user's usage history information of the mobile body, and the remaining life consumption degree is the consumption degree of the remaining life of the mobile body during each prescribed period when the user uses the mobile body; a corrected remaining life calculation unit, which calculates the corrected remaining life after correcting the remaining lives of the multiple candidate mobile bodies identified by the candidate mobile body remaining life identification unit by the remaining life consumption degree; and a transaction object mobile body selection unit, which selects the candidate mobile body whose corrected remaining life meets the desired remaining life condition as the object of the prescribed transaction with the user.

[0015] In the above-mentioned mobile body intermediary system, it can also be constructed that the mobile body intermediary system includes a mobile body usage status change estimating unit, which estimates the change in the usage status of the mobile body by the user after the user starts using the mobile body through the prescribed transaction, and the remaining life consumption degree identification unit corrects the consumption degree of the remaining life of the mobile body for each prescribed period when the user uses the mobile body based on the usage history information according to the change in the usage status of the mobile body estimated by the mobile body usage status change estimating unit, thereby identifying the remaining life consumption degree.

[0016] In the above-mentioned mobile body mediation system, the mobile body usage status change estimation unit may estimate a change in usage status of the mobile body by the user after the user starts using the mobile body through the predetermined transaction based on the profile information of the user or the schedule information of the user.

[0017] In the above-mentioned mobile body intermediary system, it can also be configured that the transaction object mobile body selection unit selects the candidate mobile body whose difference between the corrected remaining life and the desired life corresponding to the desired remaining life condition is less than a specified value as the candidate mobile body whose corrected remaining life meets the desired remaining life condition.

[0018] In the above-mentioned mobile body intermediary system, it can also be constructed as follows: the candidate mobile body remaining life identification unit identifies the remaining life according to each of the multiple object parts possessed by the candidate mobile body, the remaining life consumption degree identification unit identifies the remaining life consumption degree according to each of the multiple object parts, the corrected remaining life calculation unit calculates the corrected remaining life according to each of the multiple object parts, and the transaction object mobile body selection unit determines whether the corrected remaining life meets the desired remaining life condition according to each of the multiple object parts, and selects the candidate mobile body that meets the desired remaining life condition.

[0019] As a second scheme for achieving the above-mentioned purpose, a mobile body intermediary method is provided, which is executed by a computer in order to mediate between users who wish to use the mobile body and providers of the mobile body, wherein the mobile body intermediary method includes: a desired remaining life condition identification step, identifying the desired remaining life condition of the mobile body for the user who starts using the mobile body through a prescribed transaction; a candidate mobile body remaining life identification step, identifying the remaining lives of multiple candidate mobile bodies that are candidates for the prescribed transaction; a remaining life consumption degree identification step, identifying the remaining life consumption degree based on the user's usage history information of the mobile body, and the remaining life consumption degree is the consumption degree of the remaining life of the mobile body during each prescribed period when the user uses the mobile body; a corrected remaining life calculation step, calculating the corrected remaining life after correcting the remaining lives of the multiple candidate mobile bodies identified by the candidate mobile body remaining life identification step using the remaining life consumption degree; and a transaction object mobile body selection step, selecting the candidate mobile body whose corrected remaining life meets the desired remaining life condition as the object of the prescribed transaction to be conducted with the user.

[0020] [Effects of the invention]

[0021] According to the above-mentioned moving object mediation system and the above-mentioned moving object mediation method, it is possible to match a moving object that meets the user's desired remaining life condition to a user who starts using a moving object such as a vehicle through a transaction.

[0031] [1. Structure of mobile mediation system]

[0032] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 5 , the structure of the mobile intermediary system 1 of this embodiment is described. The mobile intermediary system 1 performs a process of matching a vehicle (equivalent to the mobile body of the present disclosure) provided by a car dealer 100 through a prescribed transaction with a user who wishes to use the vehicle. The prescribed transaction includes the sale of a new car, the sale of a used car, a vehicle lease contract, etc. In this embodiment, the case where the mobile intermediary system 1 matches a used vehicle with a user is described.

[0033] Figure 1 The example shows a case where a user U who wants to buy a used vehicle sells a previously used vehicle 50 and selects a vehicle to be purchased. In the present embodiment, the vehicle 50 and the candidate vehicle to be selected by the user U are vehicles of the same manufacturer, and the transaction is conducted by the automobile dealer 100, and the usage status is managed by the vehicle manufacturer server 210, which is the management server of the vehicle manufacturer as the manufacturer.

[0034] The vehicle manufacturer server 210 communicates with a plurality of management target vehicles including the vehicle 50 and the store management system 101 of the automobile dealer 100 via the communication network 200. The vehicle 50 is provided with sensors 52 for detecting loads applied to target parts of the vehicle 50 and an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) 51, and the ECU 51 transmits load measurement information Lmi indicating the detection result of the load detected by the sensors 52 to the vehicle manufacturer server 210 when the power of the vehicle 50 is turned on. The same is true for other management target vehicles.

[0035] When a vehicle under management is brought in for maintenance such as regular inspection, a service person at the automobile dealer 100 measures the physical property values ​​of target parts of the vehicle under management using a measuring device. The store management system 101 transmits physical property value measurement information Pmi indicating the measurement results of the physical property values ​​to the vehicle manufacturer server 210.

[0036] In this embodiment, as the object component for measuring the load and physical property value, Figure 2 As shown, an engine, chassis, electrical equipment and seats are set. Regarding the engine, the shaft torque and rotation speed are measured as elements of the load, and the elastic modulus (speed of sound) of the component is measured as a physical property value. Regarding the chassis, the vibration frequency and acceleration are measured as elements of the load, and the elastic modulus (speed of sound) of the component is measured as a physical property value. Regarding the electrical equipment, as elements of the load, the shaft torque and rotation speed of the motor, the working time and output power of the PDU (Power Drive Unit), and the number of charge and discharge times and the charge and discharge amount of the battery are measured. In addition, as physical property values, the shaking of the rotating shaft of the motor, the cooling performance of the components of the PDU, and the charging capacity of the battery are measured. Regarding the seat, the number of uses is measured as an element of the load, and the spring constant is measured as a physical property value. The load measurement information Lmi and the physical property value measurement information Pmi of each object component of each management object vehicle are sent to the vehicle manufacturer server 210.

[0037] The vehicle manufacturer server 210 receives the load measurement information Lmi transmitted from each management target vehicle and the physical property value measurement information Pmi transmitted from the store management system 101 , and records them in a vehicle management DB (database) 211 for each management target vehicle. Figure 3 The recorded data of the vehicle management DB 211 corresponding to the vehicle 50 (management No.: Cid-001, hereinafter also referred to as the old vehicle 50) used by the user U, the candidate vehicle A (management No.: Cid-002) as a matching candidate for the user U, the candidate vehicle B (management No.: Cid-003), and the candidate vehicle C (management No.: Cid-004).

[0038] The mobile intermediary system 1 is a computer system including a processor 10, a memory 20, a communication unit 30, etc. The mobile intermediary system 1 communicates with a vehicle manufacturer server 210, a schedule server 220, a staff terminal 70 used by a service staff V of the automobile dealer 100, and a user terminal 71 used by a user U, etc., through the communication unit 30 via a communication network 200. The staff terminal 70 and the user terminal 71 are tablet terminals, personal computers, smart phones, etc.

[0039] A schedule application for managing the schedule of the user U is installed in the user terminal 71. The schedule information Sci of the user U and the profile information Upi of the user U input by the user U through the schedule application are sent from the user terminal 71 to the schedule server 220 and recorded in the schedule DB 221 of the schedule server 220. The profile information Upi includes the gender, age, place of residence, occupation, family composition, etc. of the user U. The schedule information Sci includes the scheduled occurrence time of the current event of the user U (marriage, child's birthday, relocation, retirement, child's growth and independence, etc.).

[0040] The memory 20 stores a program 21 for controlling the mobile intermediary system 1, a mapping table (load-fatigue mapping table) 22 for converting the detected value of the load represented by the load measurement information Lmi of the object component into the weight of the fatigue of the object component, and a mapping table (physical property value degradation degree-remaining life mapping table) 23 for converting the measured value of the physical property value represented by the physical property value measurement information Pmi of the object component into the estimated remaining life of the object component.

[0041] The processor 10 functions as a desired remaining life condition recognition unit 11, a candidate mobile body remaining life recognition unit 12, a remaining life consumption degree recognition unit 13, a mobile body use status change estimation unit 14, a corrected remaining life calculation unit 15, and a transaction target mobile body selection unit 16 by reading and executing the program 21. The processing performed by the desired remaining life condition recognition unit 11 is equivalent to the desired remaining life condition recognition step in the mobile body mediation method disclosed in the present invention, and the processing performed by the candidate mobile body remaining life recognition unit 12 is equivalent to the candidate mobile body remaining life recognition step in the present invention. The processing performed by the remaining life consumption degree recognition unit 13 is equivalent to the remaining life consumption degree recognition step in the mobile body mediation method disclosed in the present invention, and the processing performed by the corrected remaining life calculation unit 15 is equivalent to the corrected remaining life calculation step in the present invention. The processing performed by the transaction target mobile body selection unit 16 is equivalent to the transaction target mobile body selection step in the present invention.

[0042] The expected remaining life condition recognition unit 11 receives the expected remaining life condition information Dci transmitted from the staff terminal 70, and recognizes the expected remaining life condition (remaining life period, remaining life distance) for purchasing a vehicle of the user U, which is represented by the expected remaining life condition information Dci. The expected remaining life condition of the user U is notified to the service staff V by the user U when the user U visits the automobile dealer 100, and is input to the staff terminal 70. Alternatively, the expected remaining life condition information Dci may be transmitted from the user terminal 71 to the mobile intermediary system 1 by the user U inputting the expected remaining life using a vehicle purchase support application installed in the user terminal 71.

[0043] The candidate mobile body remaining life recognition unit 12 recognizes the remaining life of the candidate vehicles (hereinafter referred to as candidate vehicles A to C) that match the user U. The candidate mobile body remaining life recognition unit 12 recognizes the remaining life of the target components (engine, chassis, electrical equipment, seat) of the candidate vehicles A to C. The candidate mobile body remaining life recognition unit 12 recognizes the remaining life of each target component based on the load measurement information Lmi and physical property value measurement information Pmi of each target component of the candidate vehicles A to C recorded in the vehicle management DB 211, for example, by the method described in the previous patent application of the applicant of the present application, namely Japanese Patent Application No. 2022-172125.

[0044] The candidate mobile body remaining life identification unit 12 applies the load identified based on the load measurement information Lmi of the target component to the load-fatigue degree mapping table 22, finds the corresponding weight, calculates the cumulative fatigue degree by summing up the weighted measurement times of each load level, and calculates the first estimated remaining life by subtracting the cumulative fatigue degree from 100%. In addition, the candidate mobile body remaining life identification unit 12 applies the physical property value degradation degree identified based on the physical property value measurement information Pmi to the physical property value degradation degree-remaining life mapping table 23 to identify the second estimated remaining life of the target component.

[0045] Figure 4 The example shows the target parts of any of the candidate vehicles A to C, with the vertical axis set to the remaining life rate (the ratio of the remaining life when the life is set to 100%), the horizontal axis set to the guaranteed travel distance of the candidate mobile body corresponding to the remaining life rate, the first estimated remaining life α based on the load measurement information Lmi, and the second estimated remaining life β based on the physical property value measurement information Pmi. Figure 4 In the example, when the travel distance of the candidate moving body reaches Dc2, the second estimated remaining life β is longer than the first estimated remaining life α.

[0046] Therefore, the candidate mobile body remaining life recognition unit 12 recognizes the remaining life of the target component based on the first estimated remaining life α until Dc2 when the second estimated remaining life β is longer than the first estimated remaining life α. In addition, the candidate mobile body remaining life recognition unit 12 recognizes the remaining life of the target component based on the second estimated remaining life β during the period after Dc when the second estimated remaining life β is longer than the first estimated remaining life α.

[0047] The remaining life consumption degree identification unit 13 is based on Figure 3 The load measurement information Lmi-001 and the physical property value measurement information Pmi-001 during the period of use of the old vehicle 50 by the user U are shown, and the remaining life consumption degree of each object component (engine, chassis, electrical equipment, seat) when the user U uses the vehicle is calculated. The remaining life consumption degree indicates the length of the remaining life of the object component that is predicted to be consumed (reduced) when the user U uses the vehicle for 1 year. The remaining life consumption degree of each object component becomes the value obtained by dividing the number of years of reduction in the remaining life of each object component during the period of use of the old vehicle 50 by the number of years the user U has used the old vehicle 50. The number of years of reduction in the remaining life of each object component is calculated by subtracting the remaining life of each object component at the time when the user U changes from the old vehicle 50 to another vehicle from the remaining life of each object component at the time when the user U starts to use the old vehicle 50. The remaining life of each object component is calculated by the same processing as the identification of the remaining life by the candidate mobile body remaining life identification unit 12 described above.

[0048] The mobile use status change estimation unit 14 accesses the schedule DB 221 of the schedule server 220 to obtain the schedule information Sci and the profile information Upi of the user U. Then, the mobile use status change estimation unit 14 estimates the change in the use status of the vehicle after the user U changes vehicles (change in the number of passengers, smooth driving, etc.), based on the change in the lifestyle of the user U predicted based on the schedule information Sci and the profile information Upi.

[0049] The remaining life consumption degree recognition unit 13 corrects the remaining life consumption degree of each target component based on the change in the vehicle usage status of the user U estimated by the mobile body usage status change estimation unit 14. The corrected remaining life calculation unit 15 calculates the corrected remaining life by correcting the remaining life of each target component of each candidate vehicle identified by the candidate mobile body remaining life recognition unit 12 according to the corrected remaining life consumption degree.

[0050] Here, Figure 5This is an explanatory diagram of a series of processes performed by the candidate mobile body remaining life identification unit 12, the remaining life consumption degree identification unit 13, the mobile body use status change estimation unit 14, and the corrected remaining life calculation unit 15. As described above, the candidate mobile body remaining life identification unit 12 identifies the remaining life La to Lc of each target component (engine, chassis, electrical equipment, seat) of the candidate vehicles A to C based on the load measurement information Lmi-002 to Lmi-004 and the physical property value measurement information Pmi-002 to Pmi-004 of each target component recorded in the vehicle management DB 211. Th in La to Lc is the determined remaining life corresponding to the desired remaining life condition of the user U.

[0051] As described above, the remaining life consumption degree identification unit 13 identifies the remaining life consumption degree Ch1 of the target component of the vehicle by the user U based on the load measurement information Lmi-001 and the physical property value measurement information Pmi-001 of the old vehicle 50 recorded in the vehicle management DB 211. The mobile body usage status change estimation unit 14 estimates the change in the usage status of the vehicle after the user U changes the vehicle based on the change in the lifestyle of the user U predicted based on the schedule information Sci and the profile information Upi of the user U, and sets the correction coefficient K1 corresponding to the estimation result. Figure 5 In K1, it is set to increase the remaining life consumption of the chassis and seats and to reduce the remaining life consumption of the engine and electrical equipment.

[0052] The corrected remaining life calculation unit 15 corrects the remaining life La to Lc of each target component of the candidate vehicles A to C according to the corrected remaining life consumption degree of each target component, and calculates the corrected remaining life CLa to CLc of each target component of the candidate vehicles A to C. Figure 5 Among the corrected remaining lives CLa to CLc, the corrected remaining life CLa of the candidate vehicle A is greater than or equal to Th.

[0053] The transaction target mobile body selection unit 16 selects a candidate vehicle that meets the desired remaining life condition of the user U from among the candidate vehicles A to C as a transaction target vehicle matched with the user U. Figure 5 In the example of , the transaction target mobile body selection unit 16 selects the candidate vehicle A as the transaction target vehicle.

[0054] [2. Calculation process of corrected remaining life of target component]

[0055] according to Figure 6 The flowchart shown in FIG. 1 illustrates the sequence of the calculation process of the corrected remaining life of each target component of the candidate vehicles A to C executed by the mobile intermediary system 1. The mobile intermediary system 1 performs the calculation process based on the corrected remaining life of each target component (engine, chassis, electrical equipment, seat) of the candidate vehicles A to C. Figure 6Processing of the flowchart shown.

[0056] Figure 6 Steps S1 to S5 and S20 are processed by the candidate mobile body remaining life identification unit 12. In step S1, the candidate mobile body remaining life identification unit 12 accesses the vehicle management DB 211 of the vehicle manufacturer server 210 to obtain the load measurement information Lmi and the physical property value measurement information Pmi of the target component recorded in the vehicle management DB 211.

[0057] In the next step S2, the candidate mobile body remaining life recognition unit 12 recognizes the first estimated remaining life corresponding to the accumulated fatigue degree of the target component based on the load measurement information Lmi. In the next step S3, the candidate mobile body remaining life recognition unit 12 recognizes the second estimated remaining life corresponding to the degradation degree of the physical property value of the target component based on the physical property value measurement information Pmi. In the next step S4, the candidate mobile body remaining life recognition unit 12 determines whether the second estimated remaining life is longer than the first estimated remaining life. If the second estimated remaining life is longer than the first estimated remaining life, the process proceeds to step S20. If the second estimated remaining life is less than the first estimated remaining life, the process proceeds to step S5.

[0058] In step S5, the candidate mobile body remaining life recognition unit 12 sets the first estimated remaining life as the remaining life of the target component (the remaining life at the time of sale). In step S20, the candidate mobile body remaining life recognition unit 12 sets the second estimated remaining life as the remaining life of the target component (the remaining life at the time of sale) and causes the processing to enter step S6. Steps S6 to S7 are processed by the remaining life consumption degree recognition unit 13. In step S6, the remaining life consumption degree recognition unit 13 accesses the vehicle management DB 211 of the vehicle manufacturer server 210, and obtains the load measurement information Lmi and the physical property value measurement information Pmi (of the target component of the old vehicle 50) recorded when the user U used the old vehicle 50. Figure 3 Lmi-003 and Pmi-003), the load measurement information Lmi and the physical property value measurement information Pmi are the usage history information of the old vehicle 50 by the user U.

[0059] In the next step S7, the remaining life consumption degree recognition unit 13 recognizes the remaining life consumption degree (actual value) of the target component when the user U uses the vehicle based on the usage history information of the old vehicle 50 by the user U (refer to Figure 5 The following steps S8 to S9 are processed by the mobile object use status change estimation unit 14. In step S8, the mobile object use status change estimation unit 14 accesses the schedule DB 221 of the schedule server 220 to obtain the schedule information Sci and profile information Upi of the user U.

[0060] In the next step S9, the mobile vehicle usage status change estimation unit 14 sets a correction coefficient reflecting the remaining life consumption degree of the vehicle usage status after the user U changes vehicles based on the schedule information Sci and the profile information Upi of the user U as described above (see Figure 5 of K1).

[0061] The next step S10 is the processing of the remaining life consumption degree recognition unit 13. In step S10, the remaining life consumption degree recognition unit 13 multiplies the remaining life consumption degree based on the usage history information of the user U by the correction coefficient set by the mobile body usage status change estimation unit 14 to correct the remaining life consumption degree (refer to Figure 5 of Ch1, K1).

[0062] The next step S11 is the process of the correction remaining life calculation unit 15. The correction remaining life calculation unit 15 calculates the remaining life (see Figure 5 The corrected remaining life of the target component is calculated by correcting the La~Lc (refer to Figure 5 According to CLa~CLc). Figure 5 CLa~CLc, for candidate vehicles A and B, the remaining life of the chassis becomes the remaining life of candidate vehicles A and B, and for candidate vehicle C, the remaining life of the engine becomes the remaining life of candidate vehicle C.

[0063] [3. Selection of transaction target vehicle]

[0064] according to Figure 7 The flowchart shown in FIG. 1 illustrates a transaction target vehicle selection process executed by the mobile body intermediary system.

[0065] Figure 7 Step S30 is a process performed by the desired remaining life condition recognition unit 11. The desired remaining life condition recognition unit 11 receives and obtains the desired remaining life condition information Dci (see Figure 1 ). The next steps S31 to S33 are processed by the transaction target mobile body selection unit 16. In step S31, the transaction target mobile body selection unit 16 extracts the shortest corrected remaining life of each target component calculated by the corrected remaining life calculation unit 15 as the comparison target corrected life for each candidate vehicle A to C. Figure 5 In the example of CLa to CLc shown, for candidate vehicles A and B, the corrected remaining life of the chassis is extracted as the remaining life to be compared, and for candidate vehicle C, the corrected remaining life of the engine is extracted as the remaining life to be compared.

[0066] In the next step S32, the transaction target mobile body selection unit 16 selects a candidate vehicle whose comparison target corrected remaining life is greater than or equal to the desired remaining life of the user U indicated by the desired remaining life condition information Dci as a transaction target vehicle. Figure 5 In the example shown, only the candidate vehicle A among the candidate vehicles A to C is selected as the transaction target vehicle.

[0067] In addition, when there are multiple candidate vehicles whose comparison target corrected remaining life is greater than the desired remaining life of the user U, the candidate moving body having the smallest difference between the comparison target corrected remaining life and the desired remaining life of the user U may be selected as the transaction target vehicle. By making such a selection, it is assumed that the longer the remaining life of the candidate moving body, the higher the selling price of the candidate moving body, and thus a lower-cost transaction target vehicle can be matched to the user U.

[0068] In the next step S33, the transaction target mobile body selection unit 16 transmits the transaction target vehicle information Qti related to the transaction target vehicle to the staff terminal 70. The service staff V can show the transaction target vehicle information displayed on the staff terminal 70 to the user U and promote the consultation with the user U.

[0069] Here, Figure 8 FIG. 2 shows an example of calculating the corrected remaining life of one candidate vehicle for a plurality of users U1 and U2. Figure 8 In the calculation, the corrected remaining life CLx1 of each object component (engine, chassis, electrical equipment, seat) of candidate vehicles A~C is calculated by dividing the remaining life Lx of each object component (engine, chassis, electrical equipment, seat) of candidate vehicles A~C by the remaining life consumption degree of each object component of the vehicle by user U1.

[0070] Similarly, by dividing the remaining life Lx of each target component of candidate vehicles A to C by the remaining life consumption rate of each target component of the vehicle by user U2, the corrected remaining life CLx2 of each target component of candidate vehicles A to C for user U2 is calculated. Figure 8 In the example, for user U1, candidate vehicle A whose corrected remaining life is greater than or equal to user U1's desired remaining life Th1 is selected as the transaction target vehicle in CLx1. Also, for user U2, candidate vehicle C whose corrected remaining life is greater than or equal to user U2's desired remaining life Th2 is selected as the transaction target vehicle in CLx2.

[0071] in addition, Fig. 9 An example is shown in which the remaining life consumption degree of the user U is corrected to calculate the corrected remaining life of the candidate vehicles A to C. Fig. 9In the example, the load measurement information Lmi-001 and the physical property value measurement information Pmi-001 during the period of using the old vehicle 50 are corrected by using the correction coefficient K2 corresponding to the change in the vehicle usage status of the user U. Figure 3 ) of the vehicle's target components (engine, chassis, electrical equipment, seats) by user U, Ch2.

[0072] Then, the corrected remaining life CLx3 of each target component of each candidate vehicle A to C is calculated by dividing the remaining life Lx3 (remaining life identified by the candidate mobile body remaining life identification unit 12) of each target component of each candidate vehicle A to C under the reference usage condition by the corrected remaining life consumption degree CC2 of each target component. From CLx3, the candidate vehicle B whose corrected remaining life is greater than or equal to the desired remaining life Th3 of the user U is selected as the transaction target vehicle.

[0073] [4. Other embodiments]

[0074] In the above embodiment, the engine, chassis, electrical components, and seats are exemplified as target components for predicting the remaining life consumption degree, but other components (such as batteries, etc.) whose remaining life consumption degree changes depending on the use condition of the vehicle can also be used as target components.

[0075] In the above-mentioned embodiment, a vehicle is shown as the movable body of the present disclosure, but the movable body of the present disclosure may be an airplane, a ship, or the like.

[0076] In the above-mentioned embodiment, there is a mobile body usage status change estimating unit 14, and the remaining life consumption degree identifying unit 13 corrects the remaining life consumption degree according to the change in the usage status of the vehicle by the user U estimated by the mobile body usage status change estimating unit 14, but it can also be set to a structure in which the mobile body usage status change estimating unit 14 is omitted.

[0077] In the above-mentioned embodiment, for the four target components of the vehicle (engine, chassis, electrical equipment, and seats), the remaining life consumption degree is identified and the corrected remaining life of the target components is calculated, but for less than 3 or more than 5 target components, the remaining life consumption degree can be predicted and the corrected remaining life can be calculated.

[0078] In the above embodiment, second-hand candidate vehicles A to C are shown, but the candidate vehicles may also be new vehicles.

[0092] According to the mobile body mediation system of configuration 5, the remaining life of the plurality of target parts varies according to the usage status of the mobile body by the user. Therefore, the corrected remaining life is calculated for the plurality of target parts, and it is determined whether the corrected remaining life meets the desired remaining life condition for each of the plurality of target parts, thereby selecting a candidate mobile body that meets the usage status of the user.

[0093] (Structure 6) A mobile body intermediary method, which is executed by a computer in order to mediate between a user who wishes to use a mobile body and a provider of the mobile body, wherein the mobile body intermediary method includes: a desired remaining life condition identification step, identifying the desired remaining life condition of the mobile body by the user who starts to use the mobile body through a prescribed transaction; a candidate mobile body remaining life identification step, identifying the remaining life of multiple candidate mobile bodies as candidates for the prescribed transaction; a remaining life consumption degree identification step, identifying the remaining life consumption degree based on the user's usage history information of the mobile body, the remaining life consumption degree is the consumption degree of the remaining life of the mobile body during each prescribed period when the user uses the mobile body; a corrected remaining life calculation step, calculating the corrected remaining life after correcting the remaining lives of the multiple candidate mobile bodies identified by the candidate mobile body remaining life identification step using the remaining life consumption degree; and a transaction object mobile body selection step, selecting the candidate mobile body whose corrected remaining life meets the desired remaining life condition as the object of the prescribed transaction to be conducted with the user.

[0094] By executing the mobile agent method of Structure 6 on a computer, the same operational effects as those of the mobile agent system of Structure 1 can be obtained.
