In the example shown in Fig. 2, the property information list 121 stores information related to a property identified by a property ID "Room1", such as a property name "XX Street Shophouse", an address "XX Street", a country name "Singapore", a property type "Tenant", a travel time from the station "5 minutes on foot", owner information "ZZ Kosan", and rent information "30,000 Singapore dollars per month".

[0028] In the example shown in Figure 2, the building information related to the property identified by the property ID "Room 1" is stored in the property information list 121, and includes the building ID "Building 1", building name "YY Building", address "XX Street", country name "Singapore", building type "Shophouse", number of above-ground floors "2", travel time from the station "5 minutes on foot", owner information "ZZ Kosan", etc.

[0029] In addition, in the example shown in FIG. 2, information related to an air conditioner, built-in chest of drawers, etc. is stored in the property information list 121 as additional property information related to the property identified by the property ID "Room 1."

[0030] This allows the management device 1 to search for a property desired by a user based on the above-mentioned information related to the property identified by the property ID "Room 1." This also allows the management device 1 to mediate communication between the lessee and the lessor (ZZ Industries) related to the property identified by the property ID "Room 1."

[0031] (Contractor List 122) The contractor list 122 stores information about contractors related to real estate properties. This allows the property information registration unit 111 to associate the property information about the real estate property with the contractor and register it in the management device 1. This also allows the deadline registration unit 116, notification unit 118, chatbot unit 119, etc. to process registration of deadlines and notifications related to real estate properties in association with the contractor.

[0032] The contractor information is not particularly limited. For example, the contractor information may include one or more of the following information related to the contractor: contractor ID, transaction type, corporate name, website information, registration number, individual name, affiliation corporate name, account information, email address, telephone number, country of location, postal code, address, date of birth, passport information, stay visa information, family information, qualification information, etc.

[0033] Fig. 3 is an example of the policyholder list 122. In the example shown in Fig. 3, information (policyholder information) relating to the policyholder identified by the policyholder ID "Part1" is stored in the policyholder list 122, such as transaction type "borrower", personal name "John Smith", corporate name "AA Co., Ltd.", account information "JohnSmith", email address "johnsmith@···", telephone number "XXX-XXXX-XXXX", country of location "Japan", postal code "XXXX", address "BB City", date of birth, passport information, residence visa information, and family information "spouse 1, child 2".

[0034] This allows the management device 1 to notify the contractor of the deadline, etc., based on the above-mentioned information related to the contractor identified by the contractor ID "Part1".

[0035] (Contract Listing 123) The contract list 123 stores information on contracts related to real estate properties. This allows the property information registration unit 111 to associate property information related to real estate properties with the contracts and register it in the management device 1. This also allows the deadline registration unit 116, notification unit 118, chatbot unit 119, etc. to process registration and notification of deadlines related to real estate properties in association with the contracts.

[0036] The contract information is not particularly limited. For example, the contract information may store one or more of the following information related to the contract: contract name, contract status, landlord information, tenant information, resident information, contract start date, contract expiration date, move-out date, rent information, security deposit information, repair burden amount information, rent payment due date information, contract renewal notice due date information, mid-contract termination notice possible date information, person in charge information, and approver information.

[0037] The contract information stored in the contract list 123 will be explained in more detail. In foreign countries, there are many stipulated items in contracts, and violation of these stipulated items will result in penalty fees and confiscation of deposits. As a result, many disputes arise between tenants and landlords regarding the obligation to perform contracts. Contracts, including the customs and habits of each country, are different in each country. In order to put them into one standard format, the management device 1 divides the items in the contract list 123 into (1) absolute items that are always required and (2) variable and incidental items that change depending on the contract and the customs of the country, digitizes all contracts into a unified format, and puts them into the contract. In this way, the management device 1 can manage real estate rental contracts from all over the world.

[0038] (1) Absolute items that are absolutely required include, for example, the target building (land or building), target plot (plot within the land or building), landlord, tenant, intermediary, manager, rent or consideration (fixed, variable), payment method and timing (annual, monthly, etc.), contract period (beginning and end of the contract), renewal method (what happens after the term expires), termination method, etc.

[0039] (2) Variables and additional items that vary depending on the contract and the customs of the country include, for example, maintenance, conditions such as subsidies that affect the rent, rent-free conditions, and other provisions.

[0040] As a result, the management device 1 can provide a system in which the system notifies and manages tasks that need to be done, such as digitized rent payments and maintenance, at the appropriate time, and automates the storage of documents and sharing of documents with all related parties, thereby preventing problems that arise from neglecting obligations stipulated in contracts, and reducing or eliminating contractual problems and disputes.

[0041] 4 is an example of the contract list 123. In the example shown in FIG. 4, as information (contract information) related to a contract identified by a contract ID "Cont1", information related to a contract name "rental contract", contract status "under contract", landlord information "ZZ Kosan", tenant information "John Smith", resident information "John Smith and three others", contract start date "April 1, 2023", contract expiration date "April 1, 2025", move-out date "none", rent information "30,000 Singapore dollars per month", security deposit information, repair burden amount information, rent payment due date information "paid at the end of the month", contract renewal notice due date information "6 months in advance", mid-term termination notice possible date information "1st of the previous month", person in charge information "Jane Smith", and approver information "John Smith..." are stored in the contract list 123.

[0042] This allows the management device 1 to notify the contract of the deadline (for example, the date of rent payment) based on the above-mentioned information related to the contract identified by the contractor ID "Cont1".

[0043] (List of Construction Deadlines 124) The deadlines (management deadlines) for construction work etc. related to real estate properties are stored in the construction etc. deadline list 124. This allows the deadline registration unit 116, the notification unit 118, the chatbot unit 119, etc. to process registration, notification, etc. of management deadlines related to real estate properties.

[0044] The deadline is not particularly limited. For example, one or more of the following information related to the deadline is stored: deadline ID, property information, entrustment date information, information on the equipment to be constructed, construction status, construction type, construction name, construction period information, warranty expiration date information, payment due date information, payment completion date information, construction application date information, regular maintenance date information, preview schedule, etc. In addition, various information related to a specific deadline may include notification timing related to the deadline.

[0045] FIG. 5 is an example of the construction deadline list 124. In the example shown in FIG. 5, as information related to the deadline identified by the construction deadline ID "Rep1" (construction deadline, management deadline), property information "Room1", acceptance date information "June 1, 2023", equipment information to be constructed "air conditioner", construction status "preparation", construction type "replacement construction", construction name "air conditioner replacement", construction period information "July 1st 10-12, scheduled to be notified on June 24th", warranty expiration date information "July 1, 2026, notified on June 1, 2026", payment due date information "July 31, 2023, scheduled to be notified on July 1st", payment completion date information "unpaid", construction application date information "May 1, 2023", regular maintenance date information "April 1, 2024, scheduled to be notified on March 1st", etc. are stored in the construction deadline list 124.

[0046] This allows the management device 1 to notify of the deadline related to the contract (for example, the construction date for replacing an air conditioner) based on the above-mentioned information related to the contract identified by the construction etc. deadline ID "Rep1".

[0047] [Communications Department 13] The communication unit 13 is not particularly limited as long as it connects the management device 1 to the network N and enables communication with the terminal T, etc. Examples of the communication unit 13 include a wireless device compatible with a mobile phone network, a device connectable to a wireless LAN, and a network card compatible with the Ethernet standard.

[0048] [Network N] The type of the network N is not particularly limited as long as it enables communication between the management device 1 and the terminals T, etc. The type of the network N is, for example, the Internet, a mobile phone network, a wireless LAN, etc.

[0049] [Terminal T] The terminal T is, for example, a personal computer, a laptop computer, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, etc. The terminal T can execute a transmission process to transmit property information, images of facilities, etc., search conditions, deadlines related to management, user input related to registration of any of these, natural language input related to dialogue with the chatbot unit 119, etc. to the management device 1. The terminal T can also execute a reception process to receive and display property information, information on facilities, etc., images of facilities, etc., consideration, search results, notice of deadlines, responses from the chatbot unit 119, etc. from the management device 1.

[0050] [Main Flowchart of Management Processing Executed by Management Device 1] Fig. 6 is a main flow chart showing an example of a preferable flow of the management process executed by the management device 1 of this embodiment. Fig. 7 is a diagram following Fig. 6. Fig. 8 is a diagram following Fig. 7. Below, an example of a preferable flow of the management process executed by the management device 1 of this embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 6 to 8.

[0051] The management process preferably includes a property information registration step (steps S1 to S2) for registering property information, which enables the management device 1 to provide a search service and the like based on the registered property information.

[0052] [Step S1: Determine whether to register property information] The control unit 11 cooperates with the storage unit 12 and the communication unit 13 to execute the property information registration unit 111. The control unit 11 then executes processing related to the property information registration unit 111, which is processing for determining whether or not to register property information (step S1, property information registration determination step). If it is determined that the property information is to be registered, the control unit 11 shifts the processing to step S2. If it is determined that the property information is not to be registered, the control unit 11 shifts the processing to step S3.

[0053] The property information registration determination step is not particularly limited. For example, the property information registration determination step includes a procedure of determining that the property information is to be registered when property information is received from the terminal T via a Web interface related to the registration of the property information.

[0054] Although not essential, the property information registration determination step preferably includes a procedure for registering property information via a conversational interface in natural language provided by the chatbot unit 119 executed by the control unit 11. This allows the user to register property information through an intuitive operation via natural language.

[0055] [Step S2: Register property information] The control unit 11 executes a process related to the property information registration unit 111, which is a process of registering the property information determined to be registered in step S1 (step S2, property information registration execution step). The control unit 11 moves the process to step S3. The property information registration execution step includes, for example, a procedure of storing the property information determined to be registered in step S1 in the property information list 121, etc.

[0056] The management process preferably includes an equipment information generating step (steps S3 to S6) for generating a plurality of pieces of equipment information related to the equipment and / or fixtures of the real estate property by using image recognition of an image of the real estate property. This allows the management device 1 to register the generated equipment information.

[0057] [Step S3: Determine whether to generate facility information] The control unit 11 cooperates with the storage unit 12 and the communication unit 13 to execute the facility information generating unit 112. The control unit 11 then executes a process related to the facility information generating unit 112, which is a process of determining whether to generate facility information (step S3, facility information generation determination step). If it is determined that the facility information is to be generated, the control unit 11 moves the process to step S4. If it is not determined that the facility information is to be generated, the control unit 11 moves the process to step S7.

[0058] The facility information generation determination step is not particularly limited. The facility information generation determination step includes, for example, the following procedures: a procedure for determining that facility information is to be generated when facility information is received from terminal T via a Web interface related to the generation of facility information, a procedure for determining that facility information is to be generated when an image of a real estate property is received from terminal T via the Web interface, and the like.

[0059] [Step S4: Acquire images of facilities, etc.] The control unit 11 executes a process related to the facility information generating unit 112, which is a process of acquiring images of the facilities related to the facility information determined to be generated in step S3 (step S4, facility image acquiring step). The control unit 11 shifts the process to step S5.

[0060] The image related to the facility etc. image acquisition step is not particularly limited as long as it is an image of a real estate property. The image is preferably an image of the facility and / or fixtures of the real estate property. This allows the management device 1 to identify the facility and / or fixtures by using image recognition.

[0061] [Step S5: Generate facility information] The control unit 11 executes a process related to the facility information generating unit 112, which generates a plurality of pieces of facility information related to the facilities and / or fixtures of the real estate property using image recognition of the image acquired in step S4 (step S5, facility information generating execution step). The control unit 11 shifts the process to step S6.

[0062] The facility information generation execution step includes a procedure for performing image recognition using a neural network stored in the storage unit 12. The neural network is capable of recognizing facilities and / or fixtures of a real estate property from an image of the real estate property.

[0063] [Step S6: Store facility information] The control unit 11 executes a process related to the equipment information generating unit 112, which is a process of storing the equipment information generated in step S5 in the property information list 121 (step S6, equipment information storage step). The control unit 11 moves the process to step S7. The equipment information generated in step S5 is registered in the property information list 121 by the equipment information storage step.

[0064] When the property information registration step is included, the management process preferably includes a consideration estimation step (steps S7 to S9) for estimating and presenting the consideration for a contract related to a real estate property. This allows the management device 1 to support the lessor and / or the lessee in entering into a contract at the estimated consideration, i.e., an objective and fair consideration.

[0065] [Step S7: Determine whether to estimate the price] The control unit 11 cooperates with the storage unit 12 and the communication unit 13 to execute the estimation unit 113. The control unit 11 then executes a process related to the estimation unit 113, which is a process of determining whether to estimate the consideration for a contract related to a real estate property (step S7, estimate presence / absence determination step). If it is determined that an estimate is to be made, the control unit 11 shifts the process to step S8. If it is not determined that an estimate is to be made, the control unit 11 shifts the process to step S10.

[0066] The estimate presence / absence determination step is not particularly limited. For example, the estimate presence / absence determination step includes a procedure of determining that the consideration for a real estate property is to be estimated when a user's instruction for estimating the consideration for a contract for the real estate property is received.

[0067] Although not an essential aspect, it is preferable that the estimate presence / absence determination step includes a procedure for determining that a price estimate is to be made when an instruction to estimate a price is given via a conversational interface in natural language provided by the chatbot unit 119 executed by the control unit 11. This allows the user to give an instruction to estimate a price by an intuitive operation via natural language.

[0068] [Step S8: Estimate the price] The control unit 11 executes a process related to the estimation unit 113, which is a process of estimating the price determined to be estimated in step S7 (step S8, estimation step). The control unit 11 shifts the process to step S9.

[0069] The estimation step is not particularly limited as long as it includes a procedure for estimating the consideration based on various information registered in the property information list 121. For example, the estimation step preferably includes a procedure for estimating the consideration using the consideration related to a past contract for the same property as the property to be estimated. This allows the management device 1 to provide an objective estimate based on the consideration related to the past contract for the same property.

[0070] In addition, the estimation step preferably includes a procedure for estimating the consideration using the consideration related to past contracts for properties identical to and / or similar to the property to be estimated in terms of location, layout, purpose, age, facilities, equipment, etc. As a result, the management device 1 can provide an objective estimate based on the consideration related to similar or similar past contracts. The estimation step preferably includes a procedure for calculating an effective rent based on the contents of the contract stored in the contract list 123, i.e., the contents of the contract described in the contract, and estimating the consideration taking the effective rent into consideration. An example of the contract contents to be taken into consideration in this procedure is a rent-free contract that provides free rent for a certain period after moving in. As a result, for example, in an estimate for renting a property for three years, if a past contract for the same or similar property had a contract rent of 900,000 yen and a rent-free period of one year, an estimate can be provided that the effective rent of 600,000 yen taking into consideration the rent-free period of one year is the appropriate consideration, rather than 900,000 yen. In addition, the estimation step preferably includes a procedure for estimating the compensation taking into account various factors that affect the effective rent, such as subsidies, management fees, etc., in order to estimate the compensation taking into account these various factors. In this way, the management device 1 can visualize the effective rent in a real estate market where the effective rent is opaque, and bring transparency to the market. Such transparency is particularly important in international real estate property transactions, etc., where it is difficult to grasp the local situation. Therefore, the management device 1 can further support real estate property transactions, management, etc., in international real estate property transactions, etc.

[0071] In real estate rental contracts, other conditions such as interior construction period, rent-free period, subsidy support, etc. are also heavily involved in addition to the rent, and such information is not made public. Therefore, the rental contract market, where only the contract amount is made public, is too unfair to be called a real estate market.

[0072] The management device 1 of this embodiment, having the contract list 123 and the estimation step, digitizes real estate contracts from all over the world, automatically calculates a fair effective rent from the contract, taking into consideration economic conditions other than the contract rent, including rent-free periods, free interior decoration periods, subsidies from the landlord, and other aspects that affect the rent, and visualizes and shows a real estate market that is closer to the actual situation in an opaque market. This also makes it possible for the management device 1 to uniformly compare real estate markets around the world, not just within a single country, but across borders.

[0073] Although not a required aspect, the estimation step preferably includes a procedure for estimating the consideration using a neural network that estimates the consideration based on past contracts related to the same property and / or similar properties as the property to be estimated. This allows the management device 1 to provide an objective estimate based on the output of the neural network. At this time, it is preferable for the management device 1 to perform machine learning of the consideration estimate based on the contents of the contracts stored in the contract list 123. This allows the management device 1 to improve the accuracy of the consideration estimate through machine learning. This allows the management device 1 to provide estimates that take into account changes in the market that have been learned by machine learning. In addition, this allows the management device 1 to evaluate the appropriateness of contract details such as rent based on a neural network that has been learned by machine learning.

[0074] [Step S9: Present the price] The control unit 11 cooperates with the storage unit 12 and the communication unit 13 to execute the presentation unit 114. Then, the control unit 11 executes a process related to the presentation unit 114, which is a process of presenting the price estimated in step S8 (step S9, presentation step). The control unit 11 shifts the process to step S10.

[0075] When the property information registration step is included, it is preferable that the management process further includes a search step (steps S10 to S12) for searching property information of real estate properties. This allows the management device 1 to provide various searches related to property information. The search step is preferably a process using a neural network capable of machine learning. This allows the management device 1 to provide a property information search while improving it through machine learning. The improvements include, for example, an improvement that better reflects the searcher's preferences, an improvement that provides search results that are closer to the content intended by the searcher in the search conditions, an improvement that makes the effective rent displayed in the search results even closer to the actual state of the real estate market, and the like.

[0076] [Step S10: Determine whether to search for properties] The control unit 11 cooperates with the storage unit 12 and the communication unit 13 to execute the search unit 115. The control unit 11 then executes processing related to the search unit 115, which is processing for determining whether to search for properties related to property information stored in the property information list 121 (step S10, search determination step). If it is determined that a search should be performed, the control unit 11 shifts the processing to step S11. If it is not determined that a search should be performed, the control unit 11 shifts the processing to step S13.

[0077] The search determination step is not particularly limited. For example, the search determination step includes a procedure of determining that the property information is to be searched based on the search conditions and / or one or more images related to the search received from the terminal T via a Web interface related to the search of the property information.

[0078] Although not a required aspect, the search determination step preferably includes a procedure for determining that property information is to be searched when a search for property information is instructed via a conversational interface in natural language provided by the chatbot unit 119 executed by the control unit 11. This allows the user to search for property information by intuitive operations via natural language.

[0079] [Step S11: Search for properties] The control unit 11 executes a process related to the search unit 115, which is a process of searching for properties that meet the search conditions given by the user in step S10 from the property information stored in the property information list 121 (step S11, search execution step). The control unit 11 moves the process to step S12.

[0080] If the search criteria given by the user in step S10 include one or more images related to the search, the search execution step preferably includes a procedure of searching for property information related to the image using image recognition for the image. This allows the user to search for property information through intuitive operations using images that show the exterior, interior, facilities, etc. similar to the desired property. The search using image recognition is not particularly limited. The search includes, for example, a procedure of searching the property information list 121 for property information that includes an image similar to the image using image recognition.

[0081] [Step S12: Command to display search results] The control unit 11 executes a process related to the search unit 115, which is a process of instructing the display of the search results obtained in step S11 (step S12, search result display step). The control unit 11 moves the process to step S13.

[0082] The management process includes various processes that support post-occupancy support by an automated agent. The following is an example of post-occupancy support. The management process includes a construction deadline management step (steps S13 to S17) for registering deadlines for management of real estate property including maintenance of facilities and / or equipment of the real estate property and notifying the deadline before the deadline. This allows the management device 1 to prevent a manager or the like who does not have a business practice for managing an international real estate property from forgetting the deadline for the management. Note that the various processes that support post-occupancy support by an automated agent are preferably processes using a neural network capable of machine learning. This allows the management device 1 to provide post-occupancy support while improving it by machine learning. The improvements include, for example, improvement of language recognition in support, improvement of language generation in support, improvement of deadline management in support, and the like.

[0083] In real estate transactions involving intermediaries, there are large differences in the quality of intermediaries from country to country, and the obligations of intermediaries differ according to law, which means that the scope of responsibility also varies widely. In addition, the quality of service and response is highly personal and varies greatly from person to person, which leads to many problems occurring during transactions.

[0084] The management device 1 of this embodiment realizes a platform incorporating automatic responses, automatic learning AI, and image recognition AI through the management process described above. By incorporating automatic responses, automatic learning AI, and image recognition AI into the platform, the management device 1 of this embodiment completely automates real estate agents and management companies according to the following procedures (a)-(h), reducing the personal aspects, making it possible to provide stable, high-quality services and supporting a high-quality life wherever you are in the world.

[0085] (a) Confirm customer requirements through automated responses from the chatbot.

[0086] (b) An image recognition system is used to determine and analyze trends in customers' preferences and intentions regarding properties based on photos and images sent by the customers.

[0087] (c) Information analysis is performed based on data on real estate (land, building, data), landlord, tenant, management company, and intermediary stored in the memory unit 12.

[0088] (d) (c) Automate communication regarding property proposals to customers based on the information analysis.

[0089] (e) In addition, the chatbot automatically calculates an efficient route based on the customer's desired property and desired viewing time, and the chatbot automatically coordinates viewing appointments with other real estate agents to finalize the viewing arrangements.

[0090] (f) Regarding vehicle arrangements, we will cooperate with ride-hailing apps to support transportation between properties and pick-up and drop-off.

[0091] (g) When the property to apply for has been decided, the tenant or tenant agent will enter the desired conditions according to the application template and send it to the landlord or landlord agent. The conditions will be exchanged online, and if an agreement is reached, the template will be made into an official application form, linked to the contract app to make the document official, and the same will be done for the contract.

[0092] (h) After occupancy, in addition to providing notifications based on the contract, arrangements for equipment repairs and maintenance, and other communications will all be handled automatically by the chatbot. By sharing information with all relevant parties on the system, each party can grasp the situation in real time, and by automating responses, various issues can be dealt with in a timely manner.

[0093] [Step S13: Determine whether to register the deadline] The control unit 11 cooperates with the storage unit 12 and the communication unit 13 to execute the deadline registration unit 116. The control unit 11 then executes processing related to the deadline registration unit 116, which is processing for determining whether to register the deadline related to the real estate property (step S13, deadline registration determination step). If it is determined that registration should be performed, the control unit 11 shifts the processing to step S14. If it is determined that registration should not be performed, the control unit 11 shifts the processing to step S16.

[0094] The deadline registration determination step is not particularly limited. For example, the deadline registration determination step includes a procedure for determining that the deadline is to be registered based on an instruction received from the terminal T via a Web interface related to deadline registration.

[0095] Although not a required aspect, it is preferable that the deadline registration determination step includes a procedure for determining that the deadline is to be registered in accordance with an instruction when the registration of the deadline is instructed via a conversational interface in natural language provided by the chatbot unit 119 executed by the control unit 11. The chatbot unit 119 is a software component capable of providing information related to the maintenance of real estate properties and capable of registering procedures related to the maintenance of real estate properties based on an input in natural language by the user.

[0096] The step of determining whether or not to register a deadline includes the above-mentioned determination procedure, so that the user can register a deadline by intuitive operation using natural language. The procedure includes, for example, a procedure for determining that a deadline related to an input, such as a repair request or a request for insurance application, is to be registered.

[0097] At this time, it is preferable that the chatbot unit 119 is capable of providing information related to the maintenance of the real estate property. This allows the user to be provided with the information related to the maintenance and to perform a series of operations for registering the deadline based on the information through a conversational interface in natural language.

[0098] [Step S14: Register the deadline] The control unit 11 executes a process related to the term registration unit 116, which is a process of registering the term determined to be registered in step S13 (step S14, term registration execution step). The control unit 11 moves the process to step S15.

[0099] The deadline registration execution step preferably includes a procedure for registering the deadline in association with the facility information generated in the facility information generation step. This allows the user to register the deadline with a relatively simple operation of registering the deadline based on the facility information generated based on the image.

[0100] By the way, when it comes to post-occupancy support, it is difficult to judge which manufacturer's product is best for repairs and maintenance at the time of purchase. Some products have good functionality but are prone to malfunctions and require maintenance, so even if they are cheap at the time of purchase, they can end up being more expensive than others when maintenance costs are included, and as a result, they perform poorly. However, all of this information is not made public, so users cannot know about it.

[0101] The management process executed by the management device 1 of this embodiment preferably includes a procedure for judging the investment efficiency of buildings and equipment based on equipment repair data associated with buildings and sections accumulated during contract management and the impact on contract rent, and analyzing it by manufacturer and product. This allows the management device 1 and its users to analyze the repair status and maintenance costs of equipment and products of manufacturers in each country, and judge the advantages and disadvantages for customers by product and manufacturer.

[0102] [Step S15: Calculate notification timing] The control unit 11 cooperates with the storage unit 12 and the communication unit 13 to execute the timing calculation unit 117. Then, the control unit 11 executes a process related to the timing calculation unit 117, which is a process of calculating a notification timing related to the deadline registered in step S14 (step S15, timing calculation step). The control unit 11 moves the process to step S16.

[0103] The timing calculation step is not particularly limited as long as it includes a procedure for calculating one or more notification timings including at least a timing before the deadline related to the calculation. The timing calculation step includes, for example, a procedure for calculating a notification timing with a predetermined grace period according to the type of the deadline.

[0104] The management device 1 executes a notification step (steps S16 to S17) of notifying the deadline related to the notification timing calculated in step S15.

[0105] [Step S16: Determine if it is time to notify] The control unit 11 cooperates with the storage unit 12 and the communication unit 13 to execute the notification unit 118. Then, the control unit 11 executes a process related to the notification unit 118, which is a process of determining whether it is the notification timing calculated in step S15 (step S16, notification determination step). If it is determined that it is the notification timing, the control unit 11 moves the process to step S17. If it is not determined that it is the notification timing, the control unit 11 ends the management process and moves the process to step S1.

[0106] [Step S17: Notify deadline] The control unit 11 executes a process related to the notification unit 118, which is a process of notifying the deadline related to the timing registered in step S14 and determined to be the notification timing in step S16 (step S17, notification execution step). The control unit 11 ends the management process and moves the process to step S1.

[0107] The target to be notified of the deadline in the notification execution step is not particularly limited, and includes, for example, a person concerned with the deadline, exemplified by a tenant, a landlord, a construction worker, an agent, and the like.

[0108] Business practices differ in transactions across borders, and there are hurdles to complying with the regulations of each country. In addition, there are many cases where the landlord or related parties live outside the country where the property is located, or where they fly between countries and are unable to locate them. Even if there is a management company in between, it is difficult to communicate quickly or share and understand the situation, creating an environment where problems are likely to occur.

[0109] The management device 1 of this embodiment uses the contract list 123 and the above-mentioned management process to manage digitized contracts in a form that corresponds to one standard format despite the customs and practices of each country, and can manage within this system, including the framework of a country and virtual reality worlds such as the metaverse. Therefore, a platform system can be provided that enables all people, including real estate contracts, tenants, landlords, management companies, and intermediaries, to centrally manage contracts defined as real estate around the world, regardless of which country they are from or where they live.

[0110] In addition, the management device 1 of this embodiment can efficiently request, estimate, and share data with management companies, repairers, and maintenance companies during repairs and maintenance, just like a delivery system such as Amazon (registered trademark), by using communication tools and status tracking tools incorporated in the deadline registration unit 116, timing calculation unit 117, notification unit 118, and chatbot unit 119 in the above-mentioned management process, and can timely share the status and obtain approval from the landlord even in situations where approval from the landlord is required (such as obtaining approval for repair costs). As a result, the management device 1 of this embodiment allows each party to communicate in real time when a problem occurs, regardless of distance or time difference, making it possible to respond quickly and make arrangements.

[0111] [Contractor registration step] The management process preferably includes a contractor registration step for registering contractor information on contractors of real estate properties. This allows the management device 1 to perform various management operations based on the contractor information. It is more preferable that the contractor registration step allows the management device 1 to register information on other parties involved in the contract, such as providers of services related to real estate brokerage and construction companies.

[0112] [Contract registration step] The management process preferably includes a contract registration step of registering contract information related to a contract regarding a real estate property. The contract information preferably includes information related to past contracts. This allows the estimation unit 113 to estimate the price based on not only the contract information related to the current contract but also the past contract information.

[0113] [Preview registration step] The management process preferably includes a preview registration step of registering a deadline for the preview. The preview registration step is preferably executed using the chatbot unit 119. This allows the user to register the deadline for the preview with an intuitive operation using natural language. This also allows the management device 1 to prevent the user from forgetting the deadline for the preview by notifying the user of the deadline.

[0114] With regard to the preview registration step, it is preferable that the notification unit 118 can notify related parties, such as the driver, regarding the preview registration step in addition to the contracting parties of the real estate property related to the preview. This enables the management device 1 to further reduce the labor involved in the preview and support transactions and management of real estate properties.

[0115] [Effects of management processing] There are few people with proper knowledge and experience in real estate investment, and it is difficult to do the entire process of purchasing, managing, and selling in one stop, and to do this across borders. Therefore, you have to find trustworthy people in each area, but actually finding such people is a very high hurdle. Therefore, it is practically difficult to safely invest in real estate around the world.

[0116] By executing the above-mentioned management process, the management device 1 of this embodiment automates all real estate investment and management from acquisition to sale, and makes efficient investment decisions on real estate rent, selection of construction company, structure, equipment, location, room size, etc., and by completely automating construction and building management, it is possible to reduce the cost of real estate management for individuals, companies, and funds and promote safe investments around the world.
