[0029] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described using the drawings.

[0030] Figure 1 This is a diagram illustrating an example of a fund object that can be realized by applying the information processing system according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the funding object of this embodiment is the reusable rocket RC among rockets.

[0032] That is, rockets are roughly divided into disposable rockets and reusable rockets RC.

[0033] An expendable launch vehicle (ELV) is a launch vehicle system that can only be used once and is also known as an expendable launch system or an expendable launch vehicle (ELV). This type of launch vehicle is not eligible for funding.

[0034] Reusable rockets (RC) refer to reusable rocket systems such as reusable spacecraft and space shuttles. Reusable spacecraft are launch vehicles that can be repeatedly launched into space, including reusable launch vehicles (RLV). RLV is the term corresponding to expendable rockets (ELV). Here, it is recorded as "including" because reusable spacecraft such as HOPE (registered trademark) and X-37 (registered trademark) that do not have launch capabilities themselves are also included in reusable rockets (RC). In addition, a space shuttle (Spaceplane) refers to a spacecraft that can autonomously glide, take off and land, leave the atmosphere, and enter the atmosphere without the need for special launch equipment like an airplane. This reusable rocket (RC) is the target of the fund.

[0035] Reusable rockets (RCs) are characterized by being launched from Earth, moving through space, and then returning to Earth for repair and maintenance to ensure they are ready for the next launch. As will be discussed later, the cost of repairing and maintaining reusable rockets (RCs) was also taken into account when establishing the fund under this embodiment.

[0036] Figure 2 This is a diagram illustrating an outline of a fund that can be realized by applying the information processing system according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0037] In the fund F of this embodiment, as described above, the reusable rocket RC becomes the investment object, the service provider M performs asset management, and the dividend (income) to the investor I is based on the rental fee (so-called rental fee) of the reusable rocket RC as the principal.

[0038] In addition, hereinafter, the fund F of this embodiment targeting such a reusable rocket RC will be referred to as a "rocket fund F."

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, as persons related to Rocket Fund F, there are service provider M, investor I, seller S and lessee R.

[0040] Here, the service provider M is a person who provides the service of selling the Rocket Fund F as a product to the investor I, but in this embodiment, it performs asset management and also serves as a fund manager.

[0041] The fund manager refers to the individual or group that serves as the operating entity of Rocket Fund F and aims to invest and increase the value of the assets entrusted by investor I.

[0042] Investor I is an individual or legal person who invests existing assets in Rocket Fund F for the main purpose of increasing assets in the future, and includes, for example, individual investors, institutional investors, etc.

[0043] In addition, the purpose of investor I's investment in Rocket Fund F includes ensuring that the profit or loss amount of Rocket Fund F relative to its own investment amount reaches the amount expected by investor I.

[0044] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the maintenance and launch of the reusable rocket RC are performed by the asset management service provider M, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Specifically, investor I may also perform at least a portion of the maintenance and launch of the reusable rocket RC. In this case, service provider S does not need to bear the maintenance and launch costs, and can therefore return these costs to investor I as dividends (profits).

[0045] The seller S is a person who sells the reusable rocket RC based on a transaction contract with the rocket fund F (or the asset management service provider M) and receives consideration.

[0046] Here, the reusable rocket RC does not necessarily need to be new (no previous owner), but can also be second-hand.

[0047] In addition, the principal (purchase cost) used by the rocket fund F (or the asset management service provider M) to purchase the reusable rocket RC from the seller S is the asset contributed by the investor I.

[0048] Lessee R is a person who leases one or more reusable rockets RC that are the target of Rocket Fund F based on a lease contract with service provider M of Rocket Fund F (or service provider M that performs asset management).

[0049] Lessee R pays the lease fee for the reusable rocket RC to Rocket Fund F (or asset management service provider M) in a lump sum or on a regular basis (e.g., monthly). As mentioned above, this lease fee serves as the principal for the dividend (income) distributed to Investor I.

[0050] Here, the lessee R does not place any particular restrictions on the use of the reusable rocket RC, and is not particularly limited to the use for transporting personnel for space travel, etc., or the use for performing operations in space and transporting materials required for such operations.

[0051] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the asset management service provider M performs the repair / maintenance and launch of the reusable rocket RC, but this is not a limitation. Specifically, the lessor R can also perform at least a portion of the repair / maintenance and launch of the reusable rocket RC. In this case, the service provider S no longer needs to bear the repair / maintenance and launch costs, allowing the rental fee to be set low.

[0052] That is, in this embodiment, the cost of purchasing t (t is an integer greater than 1) reusable rockets RC that are the investment object is borne by the investment of investor I.

[0053] Rocket Fund F (or asset management service provider M) purchases a reusable rocket RC from seller S and signs a transaction contract.

[0054] As a result, the owner of the t-station reusable rocket RC becomes the Rocket Fund F. Therefore, a lease contract and an asset management contract are signed between the service provider M and the Rocket Fund F. Here, the asset management contract refers to a contract that stipulates that the service provider S acts as an agent for the fund that owns the reusable rocket RC to manage the reusable rocket RC. According to the asset management contract, management fees are paid from the Rocket Fund F to the service provider M. The management fees also include the costs incurred in launching the t-station reusable rocket RC (hereinafter referred to as "launch costs") and the costs incurred in repairing / maintaining the t-station reusable rocket RC (hereinafter referred to as "repair / maintenance costs").

[0055] In this embodiment, the service provider S leases a reusable rocket RC from a fund, and then leases the reusable rocket RC to the lessee R by signing a lease contract with the lessor.

[0056] The first rental fee (so-called rental fee) for the reusable rocket RC from the lessor R to the service provider M is paid by the lessor R to the service provider M. The second rental fee for the reusable rocket RC from the service provider S to the rocket fund F is paid by the service provider M to the rocket fund F.

[0057] Here, if the first rental fee is higher than the second rental fee, the service provider M can make a profit. In addition, the rental fee of Rocket Fund F used in the calculation (including simulation) for establishing Rocket Fund F as a product described later means the second rental fee.

[0058] Furthermore, the reusable rocket RC may be sold by the rocket fund F after a predetermined number of years predetermined by the rocket fund F has passed. The selling party is not particularly limited and may be the service provider M or another person not shown.

[0059] As a result, Rocket Fund F can generate revenue from the secondary lease fees for the reusable rocket RC under the lease contract with service provider M, and from the sales fees from selling the reusable rocket RC after a specified number of years. Rocket Fund F can use this revenue as a source of stable dividends to investor I.

[0060] In addition, service provider M can obtain income based on management fees including launch costs, repair / maintenance costs, etc. based on the asset management contract with rocket fund F, and second lease fees (≥ first lease fees) based on the lease contract with lessee R.

[0061] Here, in the accounting treatment for the purchase of the reusable rocket RC, which is the subject of Rocket Fund F, it is not permitted to immediately expense the entire amount required to acquire it. This is because reusable rocket RC is used over several years, and depreciation expense must be expensed based on the useful life of the reusable rocket RC. This useful life is referred to as the "useful life."

[0062] In this case, Investor I can record the depreciation of the portion of the investment in the reusable rocket RC, which is the target of Rocket Fund F, as an expense in his or her own accounting books until the end of its useful life. In other words, by purchasing Rocket Fund F's products, Investor I can enjoy tax benefits.

[0063] However, at the time of filing this application, the service life of reusable rockets (RCs) had not yet been determined under Japanese law. Furthermore, reusable rockets (RCs) are sometimes reused multiple times, so depreciation costs cannot be determined simply based on their service life.

[0064] Therefore, the depreciation cost of reusable rockets RC cannot be calculated simply by considering the service life. It is necessary to combine the number of times each component can be used and the service life to make an actual calculation.

[0065] For a specific example of calculating the depreciation cost of a reusable rocket RC, we can calculate Figure 7 to Figure 1 0 for calculation.

[0066] In this regard, the service provider M can confidently provide such an excellent fund product (Rocket Fund F) to the investor I. Furthermore, as described above, even if the service provider M pays dividends to the investor I, it can still fully recover the profits.

[0067] Furthermore, in the rocket fund F, the lessee R can obtain a new means of raising funds for the reusable rocket RC by leasing the reusable rocket RC from the service provider M.

[0068] In other words, conventional financing methods for reusable rockets (RCs) have traditionally involved manufacturing or purchasing new ones. In this scenario, while the manufacturing or purchasing costs, repair / maintenance costs, launch costs, and taxes of the reusable rockets themselves are borne, their financial value as assets is not highly valued. Furthermore, there is the risk of malfunction. These drawbacks are common in conventional financing methods for reusable rockets.

[0069] However, in Rocket Fund F, the ownership of the reusable rocket RC used by the lessee R belongs to Rocket Fund F, so there will be no disadvantages as when the lessee R manufactures the reusable rocket RC by itself or directly purchases it.

[0070] That is, the lessee R does not own the reusable rocket RC, but only pays the rental fee to the service provider M in one lump sum or per specified unit time (for example, monthly) based on the content of the lease contract signed between the lessee and the service provider M.

[0071] In addition, depending on the content of the lease contract, financial burdens such as taxes, repairs / maintenance, launches, and risks of failures during use may not be borne by the lessee R but by the rocket fund F.

[0072] Therefore, when the operating conditions (balance sheet, etc.) of the lessee R are evaluated by a third party including financial institutions, the lessee R will receive a higher evaluation when the reusable rocket RC is raised through leasing than when it is raised through purchase.

[0073] As such, Rocket Fund F's product is an attractive fund that benefits investor I, service provider M, and lessee R.

[0074] However, compared to vehicles such as trucks described later, reusable rockets RC have a higher risk of becoming unusable before the deadline (timing of sale) specified by Rocket Fund F even if the above-mentioned repairs and maintenance are carried out.

[0075] Therefore, Rocket Fund F is a content that envisions the risk of a situation where the reusable rocket RC can no longer be used.

[0076] Figure 3 It is shown that the application Figure 1 and Figure 2 A diagram schematically shows the configuration of the Rocket Fund's information processing system, which is an information processing system according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0077] Figure 1 The information processing system shown is constructed by interconnecting a service providing server 1 operated by a service provider M, investor terminals 2-1 to 2-n operated by investors I-1 to In (n is an arbitrary integer value greater than or equal to 1), seller terminals 3-1 to 3-m operated by sellers S-1 to Sm (m is an arbitrary integer value greater than or equal to 1), and lessee terminals 4-1 to 4-p operated by lessees R-1 to Rp (p is an arbitrary integer value greater than or equal to 1) via a specified network N such as the Internet.

[0078] In addition, in the following, when there is no need to separately distinguish between the investors I-1 to In, the investor terminals 2-1 to 2-n, the sellers S-1 to Sm, the seller terminals 3-1 to 3-m, the lessees R-1 to Rp, and the lessee terminals 4-1 to 4-p, they are collectively referred to as "investor I", "investor terminal 2", "seller S", "seller terminal 3", "lessee R", and "lessee terminal 4" respectively.

[0079] The service providing server 1 executes various processes to manage the operations of the investor terminal 2 , the seller terminal 3 , and the lessee terminal 4 .

[0080] The investor terminal 2 is an information processing terminal operated by each investor 1 and is composed of, for example, a personal computer, a smartphone, etc.

[0081] The seller terminal 3 is an information processing terminal operated by each seller S, and is composed of, for example, a personal computer, a smartphone, or the like.

[0082] The tenant terminal 4 is an information processing terminal operated by each tenant R, and is composed of, for example, a personal computer, a smartphone, or the like.

[0083] As described above, Rocket Fund F's product is an attractive fund that benefits investor I, service provider M, and lessee R.

[0084] Therefore, the content of Rocket Fund F's product is preferably content that includes appropriate gains and losses for the four parties: investor I, service provider M, Rocket Fund F, and lessee R.

[0085] Therefore, as a combination of the respective items (1) to (6) described below related to each of the t-stage reusable rockets RC, the service provider M generates a product of an appropriate combination as a product of the rocket fund F.

[0086] In addition, the values ​​(amounts) of each of the following (1) to (6) mean estimated values ​​(estimated amounts) during the research phase.

[0087] (1) Purchase cost from seller S (the estimated purchase amount during the pre-purchase research phase)

[0088] Here, the purchase cost can be obtained from the seller S, etc., or it can be a cost calculated based on parameters such as type, historical information including the number of years since it was sold as a new product, and the price as a new product or the market price of a used product (hereinafter referred to as "parameter information").

[0089] (2) The selling cost (the price of the old item) after a specified period of time after purchasing it from the seller S

[0090] (3) Depreciation expenses

[0091] (4) Rental costs

[0092] Here, the rental fee refers to the first rental fee and the second rental fee described above, but for convenience of explanation, the first rental fee and the second rental fee are assumed to be the same amount and are described simply as "rental fee" below.

[0093] (5) Administrative expenses including launch costs and repair / maintenance costs

[0094] (6) Profit and loss of at least Investor I and Rocket Fund F (and, if necessary, profit and loss of Service Provider M and Lessee R)

[0095] The service providing server 1 of this embodiment generates Rocket Fund F products by calculating the above combinations of (1) to (6), or simulates various combinations of (1) to (6). Thus, it is possible to provide appropriate Rocket Fund F products.

[0096] Such a product appropriately considers at least the profit and loss of investor I and Rocket Fund F. Furthermore, by adding parameters, etc., the service provider server 1 can perform appropriate calculations, thereby creating an optimal product that not only considers the profit and loss of investor I and Rocket Fund F, but also comprehensively considers the profit and loss of service provider M and the profit and loss of lessee R (rental costs, financial advantages and disadvantages).

[0097] For details of these processes performed by the service providing server 1, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 This will be described later.

[0098] Figure 4 It shows Figure 3 A block diagram of the hardware structure of the service provider server.

[0099] The service providing server 1 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 11 , a ROM (Read Only Memory) 12 , a RAM (Random Access Memory) 13 , a bus 14 , an input / output interface 15 , an output unit 16 , an input unit 17 , a storage unit 18 , a communication unit 19 , and a drive 20 .

[0100] The CPU 11 executes various processes according to a program recorded in the ROM 12 or a program loaded from the storage unit 18 into the RAM 13 .

[0101] The RAM 13 also appropriately stores data and the like necessary for the CPU 11 to execute various processes.

[0102] The CPU 11, ROM 12, and RAM 13 are connected to each other via a bus 14. An input / output interface 15 is also connected to the bus 14. An output unit 16, an input unit 17, a storage unit 18, a communication unit 19, and a drive 20 are connected to the input / output interface 15.

[0103] The output unit 16 is composed of a display, a speaker, and the like, and outputs various information as images and sounds.

[0104] The input unit 17 is composed of a keyboard, a mouse, etc., and inputs various information.

[0105] The storage unit 18 is composed of a hard disk, a DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory), etc., and stores various data.

[0106] The communication unit 19 communicates with other devices (in Figure 1 In the example of FIG, communication is performed between the investor terminals 2-1 to 2-n, the seller terminals 3-1 to 3-m, and the lessee terminals 4-1 to 4-p).

[0107] A removable medium 30 composed of a magnetic disk, an optical disk, a magneto-optical disk, or a semiconductor memory is appropriately installed in the drive 20. A program read from the removable medium 30 by the drive 20 is installed in the storage unit 18 as needed.

[0108] Furthermore, similarly to the storage unit 18 , the removable medium 30 can also store various data stored in the storage unit 18 .

[0109] In addition, although not shown in the figure, Figure 3 In the information processing system, the investor terminal 2, the seller terminal 3, and the lessee terminal 4 of one embodiment of the present invention also have Figure 4 The hardware structure shown.

[0110] Figure 5 It shows Figure 3 A functional block diagram of an example of the functional structure of a service providing server in an information processing system.

[0111] In the CPU 11 of the service providing server 1, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, a fund calculation unit 201 and a productization unit 202 function.

[0112] A rocket database (Database) 401 and a processing result database (Database) 402 are set in an area of ​​the storage unit 18.

[0113] The fund calculation unit 201 includes a purchase and sales cost acquisition unit 301 , a depreciation calculation unit 302 , a rental cost acquisition unit 303 , a management cost acquisition unit 304 , and a profit and loss calculation unit 305 .

[0114] In the fund calculation unit 201, for example, each calculation unit performs the following calculation for a combination of t-unit (t is an integer greater than or equal to 1) reusable rocket RCs arbitrarily selected from a plurality of reusable rocket RCs. Furthermore, in this embodiment, for each arbitrarily selected t-unit reusable rocket RC, the type, historical information including the number of years, and price are associated as parameters, stored, and managed in the rocket database 401.

[0115] Here, in the combination of reusable rockets RC on the T-stage, in addition to the reusable rockets RC currently owned by Rocket Fund F, it can also include reusable rockets RC that Rocket Fund F may purchase in the future.

[0116] The purchase and sale cost acquisition unit 301 calculates the purchase cost and the sales cost (the price of the old item sold at a discount) after a predetermined period of time for each of the T-type reusable rockets RC.

[0117] For the reusable rocket RC currently owned by Rocket Fund F, the amount paid when the reusable rocket RC was actually purchased is obtained as the purchase amount. In addition, for the reusable rocket RC that Rocket Fund F may purchase in the future, the predicted purchase cost calculated based on the information obtained from the seller terminal 3 is obtained as the purchase amount. The place for calculating the predicted purchase cost is not particularly limited, and it can be the purchase and sale cost acquisition unit 301 itself, or it can be an unillustrated functional block of the fund calculation unit 201, or it can be other information processing devices. In addition, the specific amount of the investment amount of investor I is determined based on the purchase cost of the reusable rocket RC.

[0118] For the sales cost (the price of the used item) after the specified period, a predicted sales cost is calculated based on the above parameters and the purchase cost of the reusable rocket RC. The location for calculating the predicted sales cost is not particularly limited and may be the purchase and sales cost acquisition unit 301 itself, a functional block (not shown) of the fund calculation unit 201, or another information processing device.

[0119] The depreciation calculation unit 302 calculates the depreciation cost of each reusable rocket RC based on the calculation results of the purchase cost etc. by the purchase and sale cost acquisition unit 301. For a specific example of calculating the depreciation cost, refer to Figures 7 to 9 This will be described later.

[0120] In this embodiment, the rental fee acquisition unit 303 acquires the rental fee when a service provider M, which leases each reusable rocket RC from a rocket fund F, serves as the lessor and leases each reusable rocket RC to a lessee R in accordance with the lease contract. Since the rental fee is a variable factor, the rental fee acquisition unit 303 can obtain the rental fee based on, for example, a fee derived from a predefined table or a value calculated using a specified algorithm. The location for calculating the rental fee is not particularly limited and can be the rental fee acquisition unit 303 itself, a functional block (not shown) of the fund calculation unit 201, or another information processing device.

[0121] Here, when the lessor R launches the reusable rocket RC by itself, or performs maintenance and repairs on the reusable rocket RC by itself, it does not need the management fees of the service provider M, so the rental fee can be set low accordingly.

[0122] The management fee acquisition unit 304 acquires the management fee of the T-stage reusable rocket RC required until it is sold after a predetermined period of time.

[0123] As described above, management expenses include launch costs associated with launching a reusable rocket RC and repair and maintenance costs associated with repair and maintenance performed by service provider M. Therefore, an assumption is made regarding the number of launches and repair and maintenance, and a projected amount calculated based on this assumption is obtained as the management expense. The location for calculating the projected amount is not particularly limited; it may be the management expense acquisition unit 304 itself, a functional block (not shown) of the fund calculation unit 201, or another information processing device.

[0124] In addition, as mentioned above, the launch of the reusable rocket RC, or the maintenance and repair of the reusable rocket RC is not necessarily performed by the service provider M, but can also be performed by other people such as the lessee R, investor I, etc. In this case, the management fee becomes lower, so the executor can also be given preferential treatment accordingly. For example, in the case where the lessee R is the executor, the rental fee can be set low as described above. In addition, for example, in the case where the investor I is the executor, preferential treatment such as increasing dividends (or reducing the investment amount according to the same dividends) can also be given.

[0125] The profit and loss calculation unit 305 calculates the profit and loss amount of at least Rocket Fund F and the profit and loss amount of investor I based on the acquisition results of the purchase and sales cost acquisition unit 301, the calculation results of the depreciation calculation unit 302, the acquisition results of the rental cost acquisition unit 303, and the acquisition results of the management cost acquisition unit 304, and calculates the profit and loss amount of the service provider M and the lessee R as needed.

[0126] Here, the profit or loss of Rocket Fund F is mainly the amount obtained by deducting various expenses for reusable rocket RC, including depreciation expenses and administrative expenses, from the total amount of rental income and sales expenses (discounted price of used items) of reusable rocket RC.

[0127] In addition, the profit or loss of investor I is the amount obtained by deducting the depreciation expense of the reusable rocket RC that can be included as its own expense from the dividend amount of rocket fund F.

[0128] The profit or loss of the lessee R mainly includes the difference between the cost required to purchase the reusable rocket RC at its own expense and the cost required to lease it, as well as the increase in the asset value of the company that may arise from the change from purchase to leasing.

[0129] A calculation result corresponding to a prescribed combination of such a T-stage reusable rocket RC is stored in the processing result database 402.

[0130] The productization unit 202 can set a specified calculation result from one or more calculation results stored in the processing result database 402 as the product of Rocket Fund F, or perform the following simulation to set the product of Rocket Fund F based on the optimal calculation result.

[0131] Although not shown in the figure, the details of Rocket Fund F's products are shown through, for example, investment conditions, cash flow, and an income statement.

[0132] The investment conditions include, for example, the amount of capital contribution by investor I, the amount of loss incurred by investor I in each year within a specified period, and the final profit or loss.

[0133] Cash flow includes Rocket Fund F's capital contribution, lease expenses (at least the second lease expense mentioned above), sales expenses, purchase expenses, and administrative expenses.

[0134] The income statement includes: turnover including lease expenses (at least the second lease expenses mentioned above) and sales expenses, expenses including administrative expenses and depreciation expenses, and historical amounts and accumulated profit amounts calculated based on the turnover and the expenses.

[0135] The productization unit 202 performs a simulation by repeatedly executing the processes of the purchase and sales cost acquisition unit 301, depreciation calculation unit 302, rental cost acquisition unit 303, management cost acquisition unit 304, and profit and loss calculation unit 305, while varying the combination of the purchase cost, sales cost, depreciation cost, rental cost, management cost, profit and loss of Rocket Fund F, and profit and loss of Investor I (and, if necessary, the combination of the parameters related to each reusable rocket RC and the profit and loss of lessee R). Based on the results of each process, the productization unit 202 determines the product details of Rocket Fund F so that the profit and loss amount of Rocket Fund F is the amount expected by Investor I.

[0136] That is, the productization unit 202 performs simulation by repeatedly executing the calculations of the fund calculation unit 201 while changing the combination of purchase costs, sales costs, depreciation costs, rental costs, profit and loss of the rocket fund F, and profit and loss of the investor I (and, as needed, also including the combination of parameters related to each of the t-stage reusable rocket RC and the profit and loss of the lessee R).

[0137] Then, the productization unit 202 sets the best result among the multiple simulation results executed by the fund calculation unit 201 as the product of Rocket Fund F.

[0138] As such, the content of Rocket Fund F's products is the best product for service providers M and investors (and lessees R as needed).

[0139] The productization unit 202 is also capable of performing a simulation on a combination of the profit and loss of the rocket fund F and the profit and loss of the investor I when at least a portion of the T-stage reusable rocket RC becomes unusable before the above-mentioned prescribed period.

[0140] Then, based on such simulation results, the productization unit 202 can determine the countermeasures (measures, conditions) etc. in the event that at least a part of the T-stage reusable rocket RC can no longer be used before the above-mentioned specified period as the content of the rocket fund F.

[0141] The countermeasures mentioned here are not particularly limited. For example, the dividends after the expiration of the specified period can be set higher than usual under the condition that investor I is made aware of the risk that the truck fund F will be terminated if at least a part of the t-stage reusable rocket RC can no longer be used before the above-mentioned specified period.

[0142] The above describes an example of Rocket Fund F.

[0143] Furthermore, the information processing device to which one embodiment of the present invention can be applied is not limited to Figure 5 For example, it is also possible to use Figure 6 Example shown.

[0144] Figure 6 It shows Figure 3 The functional structure of the service provider server Figure 5 Functional block diagrams of different examples.

[0145] That is, in Figure 6 In the example, the enterprise serving as the operating entity is assumed to be the service provider M.

[0146] Will Figure 5 and Figure 6 A comparison can easily reveal that the functional structure of the service providing server 1 is the same regardless of the operating entity.

[0147] That is to say, Figure 5 and Figure 6 There are two differences between these two examples. The first is the principal amount used to purchase the reusable rocket RC. Specifically, the principal amount used in the former is the investment made by investor I, while the latter is the amount separately provided by service provider M (a single business entity). The second difference is that in the latter case, there is no investor I, and therefore no dividends. All profits generated by Rocket Fund F belong entirely to service provider M.

[0148] Apart from the two differences mentioned above, the two are basically the same.

[0149] Here, refer to Figures 7 to 9 , the calculation method of depreciation cost of reusable rocket RC is explained.

[0150] First, depreciation costs for vehicles such as trucks are calculated based on their tax-determined useful life. That is, depreciation is calculated using a fixed formula that deducts the number of years that have passed from the tax-determined useful life for each vehicle.

[0151] However, for reusable rocket RC, when the present invention was filed, since the tax law did not stipulate the service life (depreciation life) and it could be used multiple times as the technology developed, the invention was not applied for. Figure 7 It is reasonable to calculate the depreciation cost based on the number of times each component can be used as shown. In addition, it is expected that the tax authorities will also require the use of such a method. Figure 7 The method shown.

[0152] Figure 7A specific example of the depreciation cost of a reusable rocket obtained as a result of calculation using a calculation method based on the number of times each component can be used is shown.

[0153] However, there are parts that can still be used for many years regardless of the number of times they are used. Therefore, it is necessary to temporarily determine the service life of each part (if there is a provision in the tax law, it should be adopted), and also consider the Figure 8 The depreciation cost of the reusable rocket RC is calculated by calculating the useful life of each component as shown.

[0154] Figure 8 A specific example of the depreciation cost of a reusable rocket obtained as a result of calculation using a calculation method based on the useful life of each component is shown.

[0155] In summary, it is actually better to use Figure 7 The calculation method shown is based on the number of times each component can be used. Figure 8 The calculation method based on the service life of each component is combined with the following Figure 9 The calculation method shown is used to calculate the depreciation cost of the reusable rocket RC in accordance with the actual situation.

[0156] Figure 9 A specific example of the depreciation cost of a reusable rocket obtained as a result of calculation using a calculation method based on the number of times each component is used and the useful life is shown.

[0157] Right now, Figure 9 The calculation method shown can be said to be the following method: the depreciation cost of the reusable rocket RC is calculated according to the prescribed calculation formula of the usage parameters, and the parameters include at least the number of times each of one or more components is used and the service life of each of the one or more components.

[0158] As such, for reusable rockets RC, if the depreciation cost is calculated by combining the number of times each component can be used and the years of use, as well as other variable factors, it is actually impossible to calculate the depreciation cost manually, and simulation must be used as in this embodiment.

[0159] Other variables include accurate forecasts of the service life and service life, changes in service life and service life due to technological advancements, changes in service life and service life due to component combinations (such as compatibility and matching), demand forecasts for reusable rockets (RCs), sales, frequency of use, and costs (all of which must be considered when calculating per use). Furthermore, there are various other variables, including those of investors and rocket launch companies.

[0160] An embodiment of the present invention has been described above, but the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and modifications, improvements, etc. within the scope that can achieve the object of the present invention are also included in the present invention.

[0161] For example, while the fund targets reusable rockets (RCs) in the above-mentioned embodiment, this is not a particular limitation. Specifically, any reusable mobile object, i.e., any mobile object that requires repair / maintenance and therefore incurs a certain level of management fee, including the cost of repair / maintenance, and thus needs to be considered in fund calculation, can be a fund target.

[0162] Furthermore, the rental fee acquisition unit 303 is not limited to one condition when calculating the rental fee for the reusable rocket RC. The rental fee acquisition unit 303 can perform calculations based on each condition set for calculating the rental fee for the reusable rocket RC.

[0163] For example, the rental fee can be calculated based on the amount of consideration received when the lessee R uses the reusable rocket RC to perform a predetermined mission.

[0164] Thus, the service provider M is able to lease the reusable rocket RC and provide (introduce) the specific mission (such as the cargo delivery mission) using the reusable rocket RC itself to the lessee R.

[0165] In addition, in the above embodiment, a vehicle leasing contract and an asset management contract are signed between the service provider M and the rocket fund F, on the basis of which the reusable rocket RC is leased and rented to the lessee R.

[0166] However, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and Rocket Fund F may also be directly leased to the lessee R.

[0167] also, Figure 4 The hardware configuration shown is merely an example for achieving the purpose of the present invention and is not particularly limiting.

[0168] also, Figure 5 and Figure 6 The functional blocks shown are only examples and are not particularly limited. That is, as long as the information processing device has the function of executing the above series of processing as a whole, the functional blocks used to implement this function are not particularly limited. Figure 5 and Figure 6 example.

[0169] In addition, the location of the function block is not limited to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , can be arbitrary.

[0170] Furthermore, one functional block may be constituted by hardware alone, software alone, or a combination of software and hardware.

[0171] When the processing of each functional block is executed by software, a program constituting the software is installed from a network or a recording medium to a computer or the like.

[0172] The computer may be a computer incorporated into dedicated hardware or a computer capable of executing various functions by installing various programs, such as a general-purpose smart phone or personal computer in addition to a server.

[0173] The recording medium containing such a program may be constituted not only by a removable medium provided separately from the apparatus body in order to provide the program to each user, but also by a recording medium provided to each user in a state pre-installed in the apparatus body.

[0174] As described above, the information processing device to which the present invention is applied only needs to have the following configuration, and can adopt various embodiments.

[0175] That is, an information processing device (eg Figure 3 The service providing server 1) is an information processing system that determines the fund (eg Figure 2 Rocket Fund F) products, which will be the product of the fund by investors (such as Figure 2 Investor I) invests in the purchase of t-station (t is an integer greater than 1) mobile body (for example Figure 2 Reusable rockets (RC) are leased to lessees (e.g. Figure 2 The information processing system obtains profit by using the rental fee when the T-stage moving body is sold after a predetermined period of time and the sales fee when the T-stage moving body is sold.

[0178] Depreciation calculation unit (eg Figure 5 A depreciation calculation unit 302) calculates the depreciation cost of each of the T-stage moving bodies;

[0179] Management fee acquisition unit (e.g. Figure 5A management fee acquisition unit 304) acquires the management fee of each of the T-stage moving bodies during the specified period, including the repair and maintenance related repair / maintenance fees;

[0180] Profit and loss calculation unit (eg Figure 5 a profit and loss calculation unit 305) which calculates the profit and loss amount of the fund and the profit and loss amount of the investor based on the rental cost, the purchase cost, the sales cost, the depreciation cost, and the management cost; and

[0181] Productization units (e.g. Figure 5 A productization unit 202) is configured to set the product of the fund based on the rental fee, the purchase fee, the sales fee, the management fee, the profit and loss of the fund, and the profit and loss of the investor.

[0182] As a result, it is possible to provide investors with a fund product that excels in investment operation yield, supply and demand balance, and trading market stability, and that can take into account the investor's expected gains and losses.

[0183] The contents of the products that can be used as the fund are shown by investment conditions, cash flow, and profit and loss statements.

[0186] The income statement may include: a turnover including the rental expenses and the sales expenses; expenses including the depreciation expenses and the administrative expenses; and a historical amount and an accumulated profit amount calculated based on the turnover and the expenses.

[0187] The productization unit can be configured to perform simulations by repeatedly executing the processing of the purchase and sales cost acquisition unit, the depreciation calculation unit, the rental cost acquisition unit, the management cost acquisition unit, and the profit and loss calculation unit while changing the combination of the purchase cost, the sales cost, the depreciation cost, the rental cost, the management cost, the profit and loss of the fund, and the profit and loss of the investor related to each of the T-stage moving bodies.

[0188] According to the execution results of each process, the content of the fund product is determined in such a way that the profit or loss amount of the fund is the amount expected by the investor.

[0189] The productization unit may simulate a combination of the fund's profit and loss and the investor's profit and loss when at least a portion of the catwalk moving body becomes unusable before the predetermined period elapses.

[0190] The mobile object can be a reusable rocket (for example Figure 1 and Figure 2 Reusable rocket RC).

[0191] The depreciation calculation unit calculates the depreciation cost (for example, Figure 9 The parameters include at least the number of times each of the one or more components is used and the service life of each of the one or more components.

[0192] In addition, in this specification, the steps describing the program recorded on the recording medium include not only processing performed in a sequential time series but also processing not necessarily performed in a time series but executed in parallel or individually.

[0193] Furthermore, in this specification, the term "system" means an overall device composed of a plurality of devices, a plurality of units, and the like.
