Also, in a used car system that acts as an intermediary between vehicle sellers and vehicle buyers, a configuration has been proposed in which the evaluation results of vehicle information by a third party that provides vehicle maintenance services are provided to the vehicle buyer, allowing the buyer to objectively confirm the accuracy and authenticity of the vehicle information (see, for example, Patent Document 2). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2005-115434 A [Patent Document 2] Patent Publication No. 2021-149320 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The lifespan of a vehicle depends on how the vehicle is used by the user, and the lifespan of a vehicle used under high load tends to be shorter. Therefore, depending on how the vehicle is used before and after purchase, the actual lifespan of the vehicle may be shorter than the lifespan expected by the user. However, in the above background art, the remaining lifespan of a vehicle to be purchased is not determined. Therefore, there is a risk that the lifespan of the vehicle may end before the usable period expected by the user at the time of purchase. The present application has been made in consideration of this background, and aims to provide a mobile object intermediation system and a mobile object intermediation method that can match a mobile object that meets the user's desired remaining lifespan conditions with a user who begins using a mobile object such as a vehicle through a transaction. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In the above-mentioned mobile object intermediation system, the mobile object usage change estimation unit may be configured to estimate a change in the user's usage of the mobile object after the user starts using the mobile object through the specified transaction based on the user's profile information or the user's schedule information.

[0008] In the above-mentioned mobile object intermediary system, the trading target mobile object selection unit may be configured to select a candidate mobile object whose difference between the corrected remaining lifespan and the desired lifespan according to the desired remaining lifespan condition is less than a predetermined value as the candidate mobile object whose corrected remaining lifespan complies with the desired remaining lifespan condition.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0013] [1. Configuration of the mobile mediation system] The configuration of a mobile object intermediation system 1 of this embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 5. The mobile object intermediation system 1 performs a process of matching a vehicle (corresponding to a mobile object in this disclosure) provided by a car dealer 100 through a predetermined transaction with a user who wishes to use the vehicle. The predetermined transaction includes sales of new cars, sales of used cars, vehicle lease contracts, etc. In this embodiment, a case will be described in which the mobile object intermediation system 1 matches a used vehicle with a user.

[0014] 1 illustrates a case where a user U who wishes to purchase a used vehicle sells a vehicle 50 that has been used until then and selects a vehicle to purchase. In this embodiment, the vehicle 50 and the candidate vehicles to be selected by the user U are vehicles of the same manufacturer, traded by a car dealer 100, and the usage status is managed by a vehicle manufacturer server 210, which is the management server of the original vehicle manufacturer.

[0015] The vehicle manufacturer server 210 communicates with a plurality of managed vehicles including the vehicle 50, and the store management system 101 of the car dealer 100 via the communication network 200. The vehicle 50 is equipped with sensors 52 that detect the load 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, etc. The same applies to the other managed vehicles.

[0016] When a vehicle to be managed is brought to the car dealer 100 for maintenance such as a regular inspection, a service staff member uses a measuring device to measure the physical property values ​​of the target parts of the vehicle to be managed. Then, the store management system 101 transmits physical property measurement information Pmi indicating the measurement results of the physical property values ​​to the vehicle manufacturer server 210.

[0017] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the engine, suspension, electrical equipment, and seats are set as target parts for measuring the load and physical property values. For the engine, the shaft torque and rotation speed are measured as load elements, and the elastic modulus (sound speed) of the parts is measured as physical property values. For the suspension, the vibration frequency and acceleration are measured as load elements, and the elastic modulus (sound speed) of the parts is measured as physical property values. For the electrical equipment, the shaft torque and rotation speed of the electric motor, the operating time and output power of the PDU (Power Drive Unit), and the number of charge / discharge cycles and the charge / discharge amount of the battery are measured as load elements. In addition, the runout of the rotating shaft of the electric motor, the cooling performance of the PDU elements, and the charging capacity of the battery are measured as physical property values. For the seat, the number of uses is measured as a load element, and the spring constant is measured as a physical property value. Load measurement information Lmi and physical property measurement information Pmi for each target part of each managed vehicle are transmitted to the vehicle manufacturer server 210.

[0018] The vehicle manufacturer server 210 receives the load measurement information Lmi transmitted from each managed vehicle and the physical property measurement information Pmi transmitted from the store management system 101, and records it for each managed vehicle in a vehicle management DB (database) 211. Fig. 3 shows recorded data in the vehicle management DB 211 corresponding to the vehicle 50 (management number: Cid-001, hereinafter also referred to as old vehicle 50) used by user U, and candidate vehicle A (management number: Cid-002), candidate vehicle B (management number: Cid-003), and candidate vehicle C (management number: Cid-004), which are matching candidates for user U.

[0019] The mobile object intermediation system 1 is a computer system equipped with a processor 10, a memory 20, a communication unit 30, etc. The mobile object intermediation system 1 communicates with a vehicle manufacturer server 210, a schedule server 220, a staff terminal 70 used by a service staff V of a car dealer 100, a user terminal 71 used by a user U, etc., via a communication network 200 using the communication unit 30. The staff terminal 70 and the user terminal 71 are tablet terminals, personal computers, smartphones, etc.

[0020] A schedule application for managing the schedule of user U is installed in the user terminal 71. Schedule information Sci of user U and profile information Upi of user U input by user U via the schedule application are transmitted from the user terminal 71 to the schedule server 220 and recorded in a schedule DB 221 of the schedule server 220. The profile information Upi includes the gender, age, place of residence, occupation, family composition, etc. of user U. The schedule information Sci includes the planned occurrence times of upcoming events of user U (marriage, birth of a child, relocation, retirement, children growing up and becoming independent, etc.).

[0021] The memory 20 stores a program 21 for controlling the mobile body intermediation system 1, a map (load-fatigue map) 22 for converting the detected load value indicated by the load measurement information Lmi of the target part into a fatigue weight of the target part, and a map (physical property degradation degree-remaining life map) 23 for converting the measured physical property value indicated by the physical property measurement information Pmi of the target part into an estimated remaining life of the target part.

[0022] The processor 10 reads and executes the program 21, thereby functioning as a desired remaining life condition recognition unit 11, a candidate moving body remaining life recognition unit 12, a remaining life consuming degree recognition unit 13, a moving body usage status change estimation unit 14, a corrected remaining life calculation unit 15, and a transaction target moving body selection unit 16. The processing executed by the desired remaining life condition recognition unit 11 corresponds to the desired remaining life condition recognition step in the moving body brokering method of the present disclosure, and the processing executed by the candidate moving body remaining life recognition unit 12 corresponds to the candidate moving body remaining life recognition step in the present disclosure. The processing executed by the remaining life consuming degree recognition unit 13 corresponds to the remaining life consuming degree recognition step in the moving body brokering method of the present disclosure, and the processing executed by the corrected remaining life calculation unit 15 corresponds to the corrected remaining life calculation step in the present disclosure. The processing executed by the transaction target moving body selection unit 16 corresponds to the transaction target moving body selection step in the present disclosure.

[0023] The desired remaining life condition recognition unit 11 receives the desired remaining life condition information Dci transmitted from the staff terminal 70, and recognizes the desired remaining life condition (remaining life period, remaining life distance) of the vehicle purchased by the user U, which is indicated by the desired remaining life condition information Dci. The desired remaining life condition of the user U is communicated by the user U to the service staff V when the user U visits the car dealership 100, and is input to the staff terminal 70. Alternatively, the user U may input the desired remaining life using a vehicle purchase support app installed in the user terminal 71, and the desired remaining life condition information Dci may be transmitted from the user terminal 71 to the mobile object intermediation system 1.

[0024] The candidate mobile object remaining life recognition unit 12 recognizes the remaining life of candidate vehicles (hereinafter, candidate vehicles A to C) for matching with the user U. The candidate mobile object remaining life recognition unit 12 recognizes the remaining life of target parts (engine, suspension, electrical equipment, seats) of the candidate vehicles A to C. The candidate mobile object remaining life recognition unit 12 recognizes the remaining life of each target part based on the load measurement information Lmi and physical property measurement information Pmi of each target part of the candidate vehicles A to C recorded in the vehicle management DB 211, for example, by a method described in Japanese Patent Application No. 2022-172125, a previous patent application by the applicant of the present application.

[0025] The candidate mobile object remaining life recognition unit 12 applies the load recognized from the load measurement information Lmi of the target part to the load-fatigue degree map 22 to obtain the corresponding weight, calculates the cumulative fatigue degree by summing the weighted measurement counts for each load level, and calculates a first estimated remaining life by subtracting the cumulative fatigue degree from 100%. In addition, the candidate mobile object remaining life recognition unit 12 applies the physical property degradation degree recognized from the physical property measurement information Pmi to the physical property degradation degree-remaining life map 23 to recognize a second estimated remaining life of the target part.

[0026] Fig. 4 illustrates a first estimated remaining life α based on the load measurement information Lmi and a second estimated remaining life β based on the physical property measurement information Pmi for a target part of one 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 100%) and the horizontal axis set to the guaranteed travel distance of the candidate moving body corresponding to the remaining life rate. In Fig. 4, when the travel distance of the candidate moving body becomes Dc2, the second estimated remaining life β becomes longer than the first estimated remaining life α.

[0027] Therefore, the candidate moving object remaining life recognizing unit 12 recognizes the remaining life of the target part based on the first estimated remaining life α during the period up to Dc2 when the second estimated remaining life β becomes longer than the first estimated remaining life α. Also, during the period after Dc when the second estimated remaining life β becomes longer than the first estimated remaining life α, the candidate moving object remaining life recognizing unit 12 recognizes the remaining life of the target part based on the second estimated remaining life β.

[0028] The remaining lifespan utilization degree recognition unit 13 calculates the remaining lifespan utilization degree of each target part (engine, suspension, electrical equipment, seat) when the user U uses the vehicle based on the load measurement information Lmi-001 and the physical property measurement information Pmi-001 during the period of use of the old vehicle 50 by the user U shown in FIG. 3. The remaining lifespan utilization degree indicates the length of the remaining lifespan of the target part that is predicted to be utilized (reduced) when the user U uses the vehicle for one year. The remaining lifespan utilization degree of each target part is a value obtained by dividing the number of years of reduction in the remaining lifespan of each target part during the period in which the user U used the old vehicle 50 by the number of years in which the user U used the old vehicle 50. The number of years of reduction in the remaining lifespan of each target part is calculated by subtracting the remaining lifespan of each target part at the time when the user U switched from the old vehicle 50 to another vehicle from the remaining lifespan of each target part at the time when the user U started using the old vehicle 50. The remaining lifespan of each target part is calculated by the same process as the recognition of the remaining lifespan by the candidate mobile body remaining lifespan recognition unit 12 described above.

[0029] The mobile object usage status change estimation unit 14 accesses the schedule DB 221 of the schedule server 220 to acquire the schedule information Sci and profile information Upi of the user U. Then, the mobile object usage status change estimation unit 14 estimates changes in the vehicle usage status after the user U switches vehicles (such as a change in the number of passengers, gentler driving, etc.) based on changes in the lifestyle of the user U predicted from the schedule information Sci and the profile information Upi.

[0030] The remaining lifespan utilization degree recognition unit 13 corrects the remaining lifespan utilization degree of each target part based on a change in the vehicle usage status by the user U estimated by the mobile body usage status change estimation unit 14. The corrected remaining lifespan calculation unit 15 calculates a corrected remaining lifespan by correcting the remaining lifespan of each target part of each candidate vehicle recognized by the candidate mobile body remaining lifespan recognition unit 12 based on the corrected remaining lifespan utilization degree.

[0031] 5 is an explanatory diagram of a series of processes performed by the candidate moving object remaining life recognizing unit 12, remaining life consumption degree recognizing unit 13, moving object usage status change estimating unit 14, and corrected remaining life calculating unit 15. The candidate moving object remaining life recognizing unit 12 recognizes the remaining life La to Lc of each target part (engine, suspension, electrical equipment, seats) of the candidate vehicles A to C based on the load measurement information Lmi-002 to Lmi-004 and physical property measurement information Pmi-002 to Pmi-004 of each target part recorded in the vehicle management DB 211, as described above. Th in La to Lc is the judged remaining life according to the desired remaining life condition of the user U.

[0032] The remaining lifespan utilization degree recognition unit 13 recognizes the remaining lifespan utilization degree Ch1 of the target parts of the vehicle by the user U based on the load measurement information Lmi-001 and the physical property measurement information Pmi-001 of the old vehicle 50 recorded in the vehicle management DB 211 as described above. The mobile object usage status change estimation unit 14 estimates the change in the usage status of the vehicle after the user U changes vehicles based on the change in the lifestyle of the user U predicted from the schedule information Sci and profile information Upi of the user U, and sets a correction coefficient K1 according to the estimation result. In K1 of FIG. 5, the remaining lifespan utilization degree of the suspension and the seats is increased, and the remaining lifespan utilization degree of the engine and the electrical equipment is decreased.

[0033] The corrected remaining life calculation unit 15 corrects the remaining life La to Lc of each target part of the candidate vehicles A to C according to the corrected remaining life consumption degree of each target part, and calculates the corrected remaining life CLa to CLc of each target part of the candidate vehicles A to C. In Fig. 5, among the corrected remaining life CLa to CLc, the corrected remaining life Cla of the candidate vehicle A is equal to or greater than Th.

[0034] The transaction target moving object selection unit 16 selects, from among the candidate vehicles A to C, a candidate vehicle that meets the desired remaining lifespan condition of the user U as a transaction target vehicle to be matched with the user U. In the example of FIG. 5, the transaction target moving object selection unit 16 selects the candidate vehicle A as the transaction target vehicle.

[0035] [2. Calculation process of corrected remaining life of target parts] The procedure for the calculation process of the corrected remaining life of each target part of the candidate vehicles A to C executed by the mobile object intermediation system 1 will be described according to the flowchart shown in Fig. 6. The mobile object intermediation system 1 executes the process according to the flowchart shown in Fig. 6 for each target part (engine, suspension, electrical equipment, seat) of the candidate vehicles A to C.

[0036] 6 are processes performed by the candidate moving object remaining life recognition unit 12. In step S1, the candidate moving object remaining life recognition unit 12 accesses the vehicle management DB 211 of the vehicle manufacturer server 210 and acquires the load measurement information Lmi and the physical property measurement information Pmi of the target part recorded in the vehicle management DB 211.

[0037] In the next step S2, the candidate moving object remaining life recognition unit 12 recognizes a first estimated remaining life corresponding to the accumulated fatigue degree of the target part based on the load measurement information Lmi. In the next step S3, the candidate moving object remaining life recognition unit 12 recognizes a second estimated remaining life corresponding to the deterioration degree of the physical property value of the target part based on the physical property measurement information Pmi. In the next step S4, the candidate moving object remaining life recognition unit 12 determines whether the second estimated remaining life is longer than the first estimated remaining life, and proceeds to step S20 if the second estimated remaining life is longer than the first estimated remaining life, and proceeds to step S5 if the second estimated remaining life is equal to or shorter than the first estimated remaining life.

[0038] In step S5, the candidate mobile object remaining life recognition unit 12 sets the first estimated remaining life to the remaining life of the target part (remaining life at the time of sale). In step S20, the candidate mobile object remaining life recognition unit 12 sets the second estimated remaining life to the remaining life of the target part (remaining life at the time of sale) and proceeds to step S6. Steps S6 to S7 are processes performed by the remaining lifespan utilization degree recognition unit 13. In step S6, the remaining lifespan utilization degree recognition unit 13 accesses the vehicle management DB 211 of the vehicle manufacturer server 210 and acquires load measurement information Lmi and physical property measurement information Pmi (Lmi-003, Pmi-003 in FIG. 3) of the target part of the old vehicle 50 recorded when the user U was using the old vehicle 50, which is usage history information of the old vehicle 50 by the user U.

[0039] In the next step S7, the remaining lifespan utilization degree recognition unit 13 recognizes the remaining lifespan utilization degree (actual value) of the target parts when the user U uses the vehicle based on the usage history information of the old vehicle 50 by the user U (see Ch1 in FIG. 5). The following steps S8 to S9 are processes performed by the mobile object usage status change estimation unit 14. In step S8, the mobile object usage status change estimation unit 14 accesses the schedule DB 221 of the schedule server 220 to acquire the schedule information Sci and profile information Upi of the user U.

[0040] In the next step S9, the mobile object usage status change estimation unit 14 sets a correction coefficient for the remaining lifespan utilization rate that reflects the change in the vehicle usage status by user U after switching vehicles, based on the schedule information Sci and profile information Upi of user U, as described above (see K1 in Figure 5).

[0041] The next step S10 is a process performed by the remaining lifespan consumption degree recognition unit 13. In step S10, the remaining lifespan consumption degree recognition unit 13 multiplies the remaining lifespan consumption degree based on the usage history information of the user U by a correction coefficient set by the mobile object usage status change estimation unit 14 to correct the remaining lifespan consumption degree (see Ch1 and K1 in FIG. 5).

[0042] The next step S11 is processing by the corrected remaining life calculation unit 15. The corrected remaining life calculation unit 15 corrects the remaining life of the target part recognized by the candidate moving body remaining life recognition unit 12 (see La to Lc in FIG. 5) according to the degree of remaining life consumption after correction, and calculates the corrected remaining life of the target part (see CLa to CLc in FIG. 5). According to CLa to CLc in FIG. 5, for candidate vehicles A and B, the remaining life of the suspension becomes the remaining life of candidate vehicle A, and for candidate vehicle C, the remaining life of the engine becomes the remaining life of candidate vehicle C.

[0043] [3. Selection of vehicles to be traded] The process of selecting a vehicle to be traded, which is executed by the mobile object intermediary system, will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

[0044] Step S30 in FIG. 7 is a process performed by the desired remaining life condition recognition unit 11. The desired remaining life condition recognition unit 11 receives and acquires the desired remaining life condition information Dci from the staff terminal 70 (see FIG. 1). The following steps S31 to S33 are processes performed by the transaction target moving object selection unit 16. In step S31, the transaction target moving object selection unit 16 extracts, for each of the candidate vehicles A to C, the shortest corrected remaining life of each target part calculated by the corrected remaining life calculation unit 15 as a comparison target corrected life. In the example of CLa to CLc shown in FIG. 5, for the candidate vehicles A and B, the corrected remaining life of the suspension is extracted as the comparison target remaining life, and for the candidate vehicle C, the corrected remaining life of the engine is extracted as the comparison target remaining life.

[0045] In the next step S32, the transaction target mobile object selection unit 16 selects, as the transaction target vehicle, a candidate vehicle whose comparison target corrected remaining lifespan is equal to or greater than the desired remaining lifespan of the user U indicated by the desired remaining lifespan condition information Dci. In the example shown in Fig. 5, of the candidate vehicles A to C, only the candidate vehicle A is selected as the transaction target vehicle.

[0046] In addition, when there are multiple candidate vehicles whose comparison corrected remaining lifespan is equal to or greater than the desired remaining lifespan of user U, the candidate moving body whose difference between the comparison corrected remaining lifespan and the desired remaining lifespan of user U is the smallest may be selected as the vehicle to be traded. By selecting in this manner, it is possible to match user U with a lower-cost vehicle to be traded, since it is expected that the longer the remaining lifespan of the candidate moving body, the higher the selling price of the candidate moving body will be.

[0047] In the next step S33, the transaction target mobile object selection unit 16 transmits the transaction target vehicle information Qti regarding the transaction target vehicle to the staff terminal 70. The service staff V can show the user U the information of the transaction target vehicle displayed on the staff terminal 70 and proceed with the business negotiation with the user U.

[0048] Here, Fig. 8 shows an example of calculating a corrected remaining lifespan of one candidate vehicle for multiple users U1 and U2. In Fig. 8, the corrected remaining lifespan CLx1 of each target part of the candidate vehicles A to C for user U1 is calculated by dividing the remaining lifespan Lx of each target part (engine, suspension, electrical equipment, seat) of the candidate vehicles A to C by the degree of remaining lifespan consumption of each target part of the vehicle by user U1.

[0049] Similarly, the corrected remaining lifespan CLx2 of each target part of candidate vehicles A to C for user U1 is calculated by dividing the remaining lifespan Lx of each target part of candidate vehicles A to C by the remaining lifespan consumption rate of each target part of the vehicles by user U2. In the example of FIG. 8, for user U1, candidate vehicle A whose corrected remaining lifespan in CLx1 is equal to or greater than the desired remaining lifespan Th1 of user U1 is selected as the vehicle to be traded. For user U2, candidate vehicle C whose corrected remaining lifespan in CLx2 is equal to or greater than the desired remaining lifespan Th2 of user U2 is selected as the vehicle to be traded.

[0050] Moreover, Fig. 9 shows an example of correcting the remaining lifespan consumption degree of user U to calculate the corrected remaining lifespan of candidate vehicles A to C. In Fig. 9, the remaining lifespan consumption degree Ch2 of target parts (engine, suspension, electrical equipment, seats) of the vehicle by user U based on the usage history of user U (load measurement information Lmi-001 and physical property measurement information Pmi-001 during the period when the old vehicle 50 was used, see Fig. 3) is corrected by a correction coefficient K2 according to changes in the usage conditions of the vehicle by user U.

[0051] Then, the remaining lifespan Lx3 of each target part of each of the candidate vehicles A to C under the standard usage conditions (the remaining lifespan recognized by the candidate moving body remaining lifespan recognition unit 12) is divided by the corrected remaining lifespan consumption degree CC2 of each target part to calculate the corrected remaining lifespan CLx3 of each target part of each of the candidate vehicles A to C. In CLx3, the candidate vehicle B whose corrected remaining lifespan is equal to or greater than the user U's desired remaining lifespan Th3 is selected as the vehicle to be traded.

[0052] [4. Other embodiments] In the above embodiment, the engine, suspension, electrical equipment, and seats are given as examples of target parts for predicting the degree of remaining lifespan. However, other parts whose degree of reduction in remaining lifespan changes depending on the vehicle usage conditions, such as the battery, may also be used as target parts.

[0053] In the above embodiment, a vehicle is shown as the moving body of the present disclosure, but the moving body of the present disclosure may be an aircraft, a ship, or the like.

[0054] In the above embodiment, the vehicle usage status change estimation unit 14 is provided, and the remaining lifespan utilization degree recognition unit 13 corrects the degree of change in the remaining lifespan in accordance with changes in the vehicle usage status by the user U estimated by the vehicle usage status change estimation unit 14, but the vehicle usage status change estimation unit 14 may be omitted.

[0055] In the above embodiment, the remaining lifespan utilization rate was recognized for four target parts of the vehicle (engine, suspension, electrical equipment, and seats) and the corrected remaining lifespan of the target parts was calculated. However, the remaining lifespan utilization rate may be predicted and the corrected remaining lifespan may be calculated for three or less or five or more target parts.

[0056] In the above embodiment, used candidate vehicles A to C are shown, but the candidate vehicles may be new cars. When the candidate vehicle is a new car, the candidate mobile object remaining life recognition unit 12 recognizes the standard remaining life of each target part according to the model or type of the candidate vehicle as the remaining life of the candidate vehicle at the time of sale.

[0059] [5. Configuration supported by the above embodiment] The above embodiment is a specific example of the following configuration.

[0060] (Configuration 1) A mobile body intermediation system comprising: a desired remaining lifespan condition recognition unit that recognizes the desired remaining lifespan conditions for a mobile body of a user who begins using a mobile body through a specified transaction; a candidate mobile body remaining lifespan recognition unit that recognizes the remaining lifespan of multiple candidate mobile bodies that are candidates for the specified transaction; a remaining lifespan consumption degree recognition unit that recognizes the remaining lifespan consumption degree, which is the degree of consumption of the remaining lifespan of the mobile body per specified period when the user uses the mobile body, based on the user's mobile body usage history information; a corrected remaining lifespan calculation unit that calculates a corrected remaining lifespan by correcting the remaining lifespans of the multiple candidate mobile bodies recognized by the candidate mobile body remaining lifespan recognition unit based on the remaining lifespan consumption degree; and a transaction target mobile body selection unit that selects the candidate mobile body whose corrected remaining lifespan complies with the desired remaining lifespan conditions as the target of the specified transaction with the user. According to the mobile object intermediation system of configuration 1, a mobile object that meets the user's desired remaining lifespan conditions can be matched with a user who starts using a mobile object such as a vehicle through a transaction.

[0061] (Configuration 2) A mobile object intermediation system as described in Configuration 1, comprising a mobile object usage change estimation unit that estimates changes in the usage of the mobile object by the user after the user starts using the mobile object through the specified transaction, and the remaining lifespan utilization degree recognition unit recognizes the degree of utilization of the remaining lifespan by correcting the degree of utilization of the mobile object per specified period when the user uses the mobile object based on the usage history information in accordance with the change in the usage of the mobile object by the user estimated by the mobile object usage change estimation unit. According to the mobile object intermediation system of configuration 2, by reflecting changes in the user's usage of the mobile object and recognizing the degree to which the user has used up the remaining lifespan of the mobile object, it is possible to select a mobile object that is more compatible with the user's desired remaining lifespan conditions.

[0062] (Configuration 3) A mobile object intermediation system as described in Configuration 2, wherein the mobile object usage change estimation unit estimates a change in the user's usage of the mobile object after the user starts using the mobile object through the specified transaction based on the user's profile information or the user's schedule information. According to the mobile object intermediation system of configuration 3, changes in a user's mobile object usage can be estimated based on the user's age, living environment, etc. recognized from profile information, or the user's relocation, changes in family composition, etc. understood from schedule information.

[0063] (Configuration 4) A mobile object brokerage system described in any one of configurations 1 to 3, wherein the transaction target mobile object selection unit selects the candidate mobile object whose difference between the corrected remaining lifespan and the desired lifespan according to the desired remaining lifespan condition is less than or equal to a predetermined value as the candidate mobile object whose corrected remaining lifespan conforms to the desired remaining lifespan condition. According to the mobile body intermediation system of configuration 4, by selecting candidate mobile bodies having a remaining lifespan close to the desired lifespan according to the desired remaining lifespan conditions, candidate mobile bodies having an excessively long remaining lifespan are excluded from selection, making it possible to intermediate lower cost candidate mobile bodies to users.

[0064] (Configuration 5) A mobile body brokerage system described in any one of configurations 1 to 4, wherein the candidate moving body remaining lifespan recognition unit recognizes the remaining lifespan for each of multiple target parts provided on the candidate moving body, the remaining lifespan consumption degree recognizes the remaining lifespan consumption degree for each of the multiple target parts, the corrected remaining lifespan calculation unit calculates the corrected remaining lifespan for each of the multiple target parts, and the trading target mobile body selection unit determines whether the corrected remaining lifespan conforms to the desired remaining lifespan condition for each of the multiple target parts, and selects the candidate moving body that conforms to the desired remaining lifespan condition. According to the mobile object intermediation system of configuration 5, the remaining lifespan of multiple target parts varies depending on the usage status of the mobile object by the user. Therefore, by calculating the corrected remaining lifespan for multiple target parts and determining whether the corrected remaining lifespan conforms to the desired remaining lifespan condition for each of the multiple target parts, it is possible to select a candidate mobile object that conforms to the usage status of the user.

[0065] (Configuration 6) A mobile body intermediation method executed by a computer to mediate between a user who wishes to use a mobile body and a provider of a mobile body, the mobile body intermediation method including: a desired remaining lifespan condition recognizing step for recognizing desired remaining lifespan conditions for a mobile body of a user who will begin using a mobile body through a specified transaction; a candidate mobile body remaining lifespan recognizing step for recognizing the remaining lifespan of multiple candidate mobile bodies that are candidates for the specified transaction; a remaining lifespan consumption degree recognizing step for recognizing the remaining lifespan consumption degree, which is the degree to which the remaining lifespan of the mobile body is consumed per specified period when the user uses the mobile body, based on the user's mobile body usage history information; a corrected remaining lifespan calculation step for calculating a corrected remaining lifespan by correcting the remaining lifespans of the multiple candidate mobile bodies recognized by the candidate mobile body remaining lifespan recognition step based on the remaining lifespan consumption degree; and a transaction target mobile body selection step for selecting a candidate mobile body whose corrected remaining lifespan conforms to the desired remaining lifespan conditions as the subject of the specified transaction with the user. By executing the mobile entity intermediation method of configuration 6 by a computer, the same effects as those of the mobile entity intermediation system of configuration 1 can be obtained.
