Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to an information processing method, a program, and an information processing device. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, there is known a technology for a product buying system that allows users to easily use the service. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses that when an order for picking up an item is received, the buying price, an image of the item, and a storage location are associated and managed, and an application for buying or picking up the item is accepted from the user. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2018-163612 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, although Patent Document 1 discloses a technology for easily using a buying service, there is a need for users to know the market value of their items even if they are not thinking of selling them. In this case, users have to search the selling prices of their items on the Internet or search sales records on electronic commerce platforms.

[0005] In addition, the market value of an item fluctuates depending on the season, sales trends, etc., and if a user wants to know the assessed value of an item again after a specified period of time has passed after the appraisal value of the item has been calculated by the purchasing system, they have to ask the system to appraise the item again, which is very time-consuming.

[0006] Therefore, an object of the present disclosure is to provide an information processing method, a program, and an information processing device that can appropriately update the estimated selling price of an item owned by a user and manage the item as an asset. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] An information processing method according to one embodiment of the present disclosure includes an information processing device acquiring information on a first item purchased by a user, estimating a price of the first item on an e-commerce platform based at least on information of a second item that is identical to the first item and has been put up for sale on the e-commerce platform, and displaying on another information processing device the price of the first item, an item image associated with the first item, and an object that executes a process for putting the first item up for sale on the e-commerce platform.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] <Legal compliance> The disclosure described herein, when implemented, is implemented in compliance with the laws and regulations of the countries in which the disclosure is implemented. In addition, the disclosure described herein is implemented with all changes, substitutions, variations, modifications, and alterations that a person skilled in the art can make that are necessary to comply with the laws and regulations of the countries.

[0010] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of a program, an information processing device, and an information processing method according to the present disclosure.

[0011] <System Overview> Fig. 1 is a diagram for explaining an overview of a system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In the example shown in Fig. 1, processing related to the asset list is performed in the following order: A. registration of an item in an asset list (also referred to as "asset information"), B. estimation of a projected selling price of the item, C. request to display the asset list, and D. transmission of the latest asset list. Each process will be explained below.

[0012] (A. Registration of items in the asset list) In order to register an item owned by the user UA in the asset list, the user UA uses the terminal 120 to send a registration request together with item information to the server 110 that manages the electronic commerce platform. The item information includes at least one of the following items: an image of the item, the item name, the item brand, the category, the model number, the purchase date and time, the frequency of use, the favorite level, and the season of use. The user UA can register multiple items in the asset list. The item information for each item may include different items. Note that the server 110 does not necessarily need to manage the electronic commerce platform, but only needs to be able to cooperate with an external electronic commerce platform and obtain various information regarding the items put up for sale.

[0013] (B. Estimation of expected selling price of goods) When the server 110 receives the item information together with the item registration request from the terminal 120, the server 110 estimates the expected selling price of the item based on the item information and each piece of information related to the item in the electronic commerce platform. The server 110 estimates the expected selling price at a predetermined timing. The predetermined timing may be the end of the day (e.g., midnight), when a request to display an asset list is received, when a request to register a new item is received, when the season changes, etc.

[0014] (C. Request to view asset list) The user UA operates the terminal 120 to transmit a display request for an asset list in which one or more items are registered to the server 110. For example, when an application in an electronic commerce platform is executed on the terminal 120, an asset list display button is displayed on the display screen. At this time, when the user UA presses the asset list display button, for example, a display request for the asset list is transmitted to the server 110.

[0015] (D. Sending the latest asset list) Server 110 updates the estimated selling prices of registered items in the asset list of the user it manages to the latest prices, and transmits the asset list including the latest estimated selling prices (also referred to as the "latest asset list") to terminal 120. The latest asset list only needs to include the estimated selling price with the most recent update date and time for each item, and it is not necessary for the estimated selling prices of all items to be updated at the time a display request is received.

[0016] According to the above-mentioned mechanism for creating an asset list of an item, the estimated selling price of the item owned by the user is updated as appropriate, and the user can manage the item as an asset. Furthermore, since the estimated selling price, which is the value of the item as an asset, fluctuates, the user can manage the item as a liquid asset. Therefore, the user can increase the possibility of making a better transaction by knowing the latest estimated selling price and listing the item on the electronic commerce platform when the value of the item is high. The above-mentioned processing system will be described below in the order of system configuration, hardware configuration, functional configuration, operation processing, and user interface of the terminal.

[0017] <System configuration> Fig. 2 is a diagram showing a configuration of a processing system 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0044] Hereinafter, an embodiment according to an example of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the embodiment described below is merely an example, and is not intended to exclude the application of various modifications and techniques not specified below. That is, an example of the present disclosure can be implemented by modifying it in various ways without departing from the spirit of the invention. In addition, in the description of the drawings below, the same or similar parts are given the same or similar reference numerals, and the drawings are schematic and do not necessarily correspond to actual dimensions, ratios, etc. Furthermore, the drawings may include parts with different dimensional relationships and ratios.

[0045] <Embodiment> In this embodiment, in a system 1 in which a user can manage items that he or she owns as assets, a server 110 can estimate an expected selling price of the item using parameters that vary according to a specified timing, and can update this expected selling price as appropriate.

[0046] <Effects of the embodiment> According to this embodiment, the estimated selling price of an item owned by a user is updated as needed, and the user can manage the item as an asset. In addition, since the estimated selling price, which is the value of the item as an asset, fluctuates, the user can manage the item as a liquid asset.

[0047] <Functional configuration of the embodiment> The functional configuration of the server 110 will be described with reference to Fig. 4. Each functional unit disclosed in Fig. 4 is realized by cooperation of a processor 201, a memory 202, a storage 203, an input / output I / F 204, and a communication I / F 205 included in the information processing device 200.

[0048] (1) Functional configuration of server 110 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a block diagram showing a functional configuration of the server 110 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The server 110 includes, for example, an input / output unit 311, a transmission / reception unit 312, a display control unit 313, a reception unit 314, an estimation unit 315, an asset management unit 316, a transaction management unit 317, and a storage unit 320. Note that the functions or processes of each functional unit may be realized by machine learning or AI (Artificial Intelligence) to the extent that they can be realized.

[0049] The input / output unit 311 may be realized by the processor 201 via the input / output I / F 204, for example. The transmission / reception unit 312 may be realized by the processor 201 via the communication I / F 205, for example. The display control unit 313, the reception unit 314, the estimation unit 315, the asset management unit 316, and the transaction management unit 317 may be realized by the processor 201 reading and executing programs stored in the storage unit 320. The storage unit 320 may be realized using the memory 202 and / or the storage 203.

[0050] The storage unit 320 stores a program executed by the server 110 according to the embodiment, a user management DB for managing users who are members of the electronic commerce platform, an asset management DB for managing items registered by each user as assets, and a transaction management DB for managing transactions carried out on the electronic commerce platform. Figures 5 to 7 are diagrams showing examples of each management DB.

[0051] 5 is a diagram showing an example of a user management DB according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The user management DB manages information about each member user created by a person who operates and manages the e-commerce platform. "User ID" includes user identification information (user ID: Identifier) ​​that allows the server 110 to uniquely identify the user. "User information" includes personal information about the user, such as "name," "address," "telephone number," and "purchase wish list."

[0052] A "wish list" is a list of items that a user wishes to purchase (also referred to as "wish list information"). A user can register items on this wish list from items offered on an electronic commerce platform or items registered on an EC (electronic commerce) site. For example, when a user performs an action on a specific item on an electronic commerce platform (e.g., clicking "Like"), the item is registered on the wish list. Also, when a user performs an action on a specific item on an EC site (e.g., displaying the menu → sending to wish list), the item is registered on the wish list.

[0053] FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of an asset management DB according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. "User ID" includes the user ID of a user who has registered one or more items in the asset list. "Item" includes information for identifying an item registered by a user, such as the item category or item name. "Item information" includes at least one of the following items: an image of the item, the item name, the item brand, the item category, the model number, the purchase date and time, the frequency of use, the favorite level, and the season of use. "Expected selling price" includes the expected selling price of the item estimated by the server 110. This expected selling price is updated at a predetermined timing.

[0054] FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a transaction management DB according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The "Seller ID" includes the user ID of the seller user. The "Product Name" includes the name of the product. The "Description" of the product includes a description of the product. The "Price" includes the selling price of the product. The "Product Name", "Description", and "Price" are included in the product listing information, and other information may be included in the listing information. The "Listing Time" includes the time when the product was listed. The "Status" includes the status of the transaction in electronic commerce. The status includes "In Transaction" indicating that a transaction is currently in progress, "In Negotiation" indicating that negotiation is in progress with the buyer user, and "Completed" indicating that the product has been sold. The "Purchaser ID" includes the user ID of the user who purchased the product.

[0055] Furthermore, in the case where a user has an account for electronic value (including funds transferred from a bank account), the storage unit 320 may manage the balance of the electronic value in association with the user ID.

[0056] Returning to FIG. 4, the input / output unit 311 has a function of performing a process of receiving input of various data via the input / output I / F 204 and a process of outputting various data via the input / output I / F 204 .

[0057] The transmission / reception unit 312 functions as a reception unit that receives various data from each terminal 120 via the communication I / F 205 and as a transmission unit that transmits various data to each terminal 120 using the communication I / F 205.

[0058] The various data received include, for example, a request from a user to register an item, a request to display an item, a request to register an item in a wish list, or a request to put an item up for sale, or item information related to the item, etc. The various data transmitted include, for example, an asset list including an expected selling price of the item, etc.

[0059] The display control unit 313 controls so that screen information of a screen related to the electronic commerce platform is transmitted to the terminal 120 via the transmission / reception unit 312. For example, the display control unit 313 controls so that each screen information of a screen for registering an item in an asset list, a screen for registering an item in a wish list, and a screen related to electronic commerce for sellers and buyers is transmitted to the terminal 120 via the transmission / reception unit 312.

[0060] The reception unit 314 receives a registration request for registration of item information related to an item (e.g., a first item) owned by the user, which is received by the transmission / reception unit 312. The registration request is received by the server 110 together with the item information related to the first item to be registered. The reception unit 314 stores and registers the received item information in the asset management DB.

[0061] The estimation unit 315 estimates the expected selling price of the item, which is updated at a predetermined timing, based on the item information and each piece of information related to the item put up for sale on the electronic commerce platform. For example, the estimation unit 315 extracts items, in which each piece of information set in each item included in the item information matches each piece of information included in the listing information, from the items put up for sale on the electronic commerce platform, and estimates the average selling price of the extracted items (also referred to as "extracted items") as the expected selling price.

[0062] The estimation unit 315 may estimate the expected selling price according to the number of other users who have registered the first item in their wish list. For example, if the number of users who have registered the first item in their wish list is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the estimation unit 315 determines that the demand for the first item is high, and increases the expected selling price by a few percent or by a predetermined amount. This allows the expected selling price to vary according to demand based on the user's behavior history ("Like" operations) on the electronic commerce platform.

[0063] The estimation unit 315 may estimate the expected selling price by taking into consideration the frequency of use, the season of use, and the like. For example, the estimation unit 315 lowers the expected selling price as the frequency of use increases, and raises the expected selling price during the season of use. This makes it possible to estimate the expected selling price with high accuracy by using the frequency of use and the season of use.

[0064] Furthermore, when the purchase time and frequency of use are registered in the item information, the estimation unit 315 may estimate the condition of the item from this information, and estimate the expected selling price based on this condition.

[0065] In addition, the more items of registered item information there are, the more similar items the estimation unit 315 can extract from the electronic commerce platform, making it possible to estimate the expected selling price with high accuracy.

[0066] The asset management unit 316 manages an asset list (asset information) including items and estimated selling prices. For example, the asset management unit 316 stores the estimated selling prices estimated by the estimation unit 315 in the asset management DB in association with the items. The asset management unit 316 reads out information registered in the asset management DB as appropriate and modifies or updates the information.

[0067] Furthermore, the display control unit 313 receives a display request for asset information from the terminal 120 used by the user.

[0068] In response to a display request received from the user's terminal 120, the transmitting / receiving unit 312 transmits the asset list including the latest estimated selling prices to the terminal 120. The terminal 120 controls to display the received asset list on the screen. The asset list may include the total estimated selling prices of all registered items.

[0069] This allows the user to appropriately update the expected selling price of the item owned by the user, and manage the item as an asset. Furthermore, since the expected selling price, which is the value of the item as an asset, fluctuates, the user can manage the item as a liquid asset.

[0070] The transaction management unit 317 processes product buying and selling transactions between users on the electronic commerce platform, and registers these transactions in the transaction management DB.

[0071] The asset information may further include comparative information between the latest estimated selling price and past estimated selling prices. For example, when the estimated selling price is displayed on the screen, comparative information indicating whether the price is up or down compared to the past (e.g., immediately preceding) price is displayed in association with the estimated selling price. As an example, an arrow indicating an up arrow and an arrow indicating a down arrow are displayed next to the latest estimated selling price as comparative information. This allows the user to easily grasp the fluctuation in the estimated selling price of the item from the past price.

[0072] The receiving unit 314 may also receive a request to register a wish list (purchase wish information) including items that the user wishes to purchase. In this case, the asset management unit 316 may propose to the user the sale of items included in the asset information according to the selling prices of the items included in the wish list.

[0073] For example, if user A registers an item worth 10,000 yen in his / her wish list, the asset management unit 16 will suggest to the user that items in user A's asset list with an expected selling price of 10,000 yen or more be put up for sale on the e-commerce platform. There are various ways to make this suggestion, such as sending a message to the user's email address, or notifying the user of the items to be put up for sale using a push notification. This allows the user to know which items they need to sell in order to buy the items in their wish list. As a result, it becomes possible to stimulate the distribution of items on the e-commerce platform.

[0074] In addition, the asset management unit 316 may include the latest estimated selling price in the notification used to suggest putting up for sale. This allows the user to consider putting up for sale an item while knowing the current estimated selling price of the item.

[0075] Furthermore, the asset management unit 316 may select a combination of items from the asset list that exceeds the selling price of the items registered in the wish list, and propose the sale of the selected combination of items to the user. For example, if user A registers an item worth 10,000 yen in his wish list, the asset management unit 316 extracts a combination of items (e.g., items B and C) from user A's asset list that has an expected selling price of 10,000 yen or more, and proposes to the user that they be put up for sale on the electronic commerce platform. This can increase the user's opportunities to purchase the items included in the wish list.

[0076] It is preferable that the asset management unit 316 combines items in order of the item with the lowest favorite degree. This can reduce barriers for users to putting items up for sale.

[0077] Furthermore, when the transmitting / receiving unit 312 receives a listing request for an item included in the asset list from the user's terminal 120, the transaction management unit 317 may list the item on an electronic commerce platform in response to the listing request. For example, if the asset list includes a link that enables listing on the electronic commerce platform, the user can easily list the item by clicking on the link displayed on the screen.

[0078] At this time, the transaction management unit 317 may reuse the item information used for registration in the asset list as the selling information. The transaction management unit 317 may determine whether the item information in the asset list is sufficient as selling information, and if not, may control to transmit an additional setting screen for the selling information to the terminal 120. Regarding whether the selling information is sufficient, the transaction management unit 317 may determine whether the selling information includes required items. The setting screen for the selling information may be displayed with the items set in the item information already set.

[0079] The asset management unit 316 may also rearrange the items included in the asset list using priority based on the frequency of use and the user's favorite level of the item, or an expected selling price. Regarding priority, the asset management unit 316 assigns a higher priority to items that are used less frequently and have a lower favorite level, and also assigns a higher priority to items whose usage season matches the current season because they are more likely to sell. For example, ski equipment has a higher priority in winter.

[0080] In addition, the asset management unit 316 can rearrange the items in the asset list in order of priority or expected selling price, allowing the user to efficiently refer to the asset list.

[0081] In addition, each piece of information about the item may include information that changes depending on the time. This allows the estimation unit 315 to update the estimated selling price at a predetermined timing. The estimated selling price is also updated when the number of items registered as the item information increases.

[0082] In addition, the asset management unit 316 may have an image recognition function and register the recognized item category and item name as item information by recognizing an image of the item registered as item information. This reduces the burden on the user of registering item information.

[0083] In addition, when a user purchases a product on an electronic commerce platform or an associated EC site, a registration request for the product may be automatically generated for the product. For example, when a user purchases a product on an electronic commerce platform, the transaction management unit 317 outputs a registration request for registering the product in the asset list to the reception unit 314. As the product information, it is preferable to use the listing information of the purchased product.

[0084] Furthermore, if the user has an account for electronic value, the total value of the estimated selling price may be displayed together with the balance of the electronic value. For example, when the reception unit 314 receives a request to display the balance of the electronic value, the asset management unit 316 refers to the asset list of this user, acquires the total value of the estimated selling price, and the transmission / reception unit 312 transmits the total value of the estimated selling price together with the balance of the electronic value to the terminal 120. This allows the user to have the awareness of managing the total value of the estimated selling price as an asset.

[0085] (2) Functional configuration of the terminal Fig. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a functional configuration of the terminal 120 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The functional units disclosed in Fig. 8 are realized by cooperation between a processor 201, a memory 202, a storage 203, an input / output I / F 204, and a communication I / F 205 included in the information processing device 200.

[0086] 8, the terminal 120 includes, for example, an input / output unit 411, a transmission / reception unit 412, a display control unit 413, an asset processing unit 414, a transaction processing unit 415, and a storage unit 420. Note that the functions or processes of each functional unit may be realized by machine learning or AI (Artificial Intelligence) to the extent feasible.

[0087] The input / output unit 411 may be realized by the processor 201 via the input / output I / F 204, for example. The transmission / reception unit 412 may be realized by the processor 201 via the communication I / F 205, for example. The display control unit 413, the asset processing unit 414, and the transaction processing unit 415 may be realized by the processor 201 reading and executing a program stored in the storage unit 420. The storage unit 420 may be realized using the memory 202 and / or the storage 203.

[0088] The storage unit 420 stores a program executed by the terminal 120 according to the embodiment, for example, a program for executing a first process related to a user registering an item in an asset list, a second process related to an electronic commerce platform, etc. Also, the program for executing the first process and the program for executing the second process may be separate programs.

[0089] The input / output unit 411 has a function of performing a process of receiving input of various data via the input / output I / F 204 and a process of outputting various data via the input / output I / F 204. For example, the input / output unit 411 receives a user operation on a touch panel or the like.

[0090] The transmission / reception unit 412 functions as a reception unit that receives various data from the server 110 via the communication I / F 205 and as a transmission unit that transmits various data to the server 110 using the communication I / F 205.

[0091] The various data transmitted include, for example, a request from a user to register an item, a request to display an item, a request to register an item in a wish list, or a request to put an item up for sale, or item information related to the item, etc. The various data received include, for example, an asset list including an expected selling price of the item, etc.

[0092] The display control unit 413 controls the display of an item registration screen in the asset list and an electronic commerce screen on a display device (e.g., a touch panel) based on the received screen information. In addition, when the asset list is acquired, the display control unit 413 controls the display screen to display the asset list.

[0093] The asset processing unit 414 has a function of executing processing related to the asset list of an item. The asset processing unit 414 processes the registration of an item to the asset list and requests the auctioning of an item in the asset list. For example, the asset processing unit 414 activates an imaging unit of the terminal 120, captures an image of the item, and transmits the image to the server 110 together with a request to register the item in the asset list.

[0094] The transaction processing unit 415 has a function of executing processes related to electronic commerce. For example, the transaction processing unit 415, as a seller, has a function of registering product information and a function of negotiating with a purchaser about a product. Also, as a purchaser, the transaction processing unit 415 has a function of browsing products, selecting products, and instructing payment.

[0095] Furthermore, the display control unit 413 may control the display of an object including a display area according to the expected selling price of an item included in the asset list on the display screen. At this time, the asset processing unit 414 may execute a process of proposing the listing of an item corresponding to one display area in response to a user operation on this one display area. For example, the display control unit 413 controls the display of a graph visualizing the asset list on the display screen. The graph has display areas divided for each category. At this time, when an operation to narrow the area, such as pinching in, is performed on one display area, the listing of an item for this display area is proposed. This makes it possible to list an item easily through an intuitive operation.

[0096] <Operational Processing of the Processing System in the Embodiment> 9 is a diagram showing an example of a sequence of a processing procedure related to an asset list performed by the processing system 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In the example of the sequence shown in FIG. 9, the terminal 120 is a terminal used by a user who registers an item in the asset list.

[0097] In step S102, the transmitter / receiver 412 of the terminal 120 transmits a request for registering the item in the asset list (registration request) together with the item information registered by the user to the server 110. The item information is, for example, image information of the item, the name of the product, etc.

[0098] In step S104, the reception unit 314 of the server 110 registers the item information for which the registration request has been received in the asset list. For example, the transmission / reception unit 312 of the server 110 receives the registration request and the item information, and the reception unit 314 stores the item information received together with the registration request in the asset management DB to complete the registration. At this time, the estimation unit 315 estimates an expected selling price of the item based on the item information and information related to the item in the electronic commerce platform. The estimated expected selling price is associated with the object and stored in the asset management DB. In this way, an asset list is generated when the user registers an item for the first time, or the asset list is updated when the user adds an item.

[0099] In step S106, the transmitting / receiving unit 312 of the server 110 transmits the generated or updated asset list to the terminal 120. After that, the asset list may be displayed on the terminal 120 side.

[0100] In step S108, the transceiver 412 of the terminal 120 transmits to the server 110 a registration request for registering a specific item in the purchase wish list.

[0101] In step S110, the asset management unit 316 of the server 110 includes the specific item acquired together with the registration request in a wish list. When the user registers an item for the first time, the wish list is generated, or when the user adds an item, the wish list is updated.

[0102] In step S112, the transmitting / receiving unit 412 of the terminal 120 transmits a display request for the asset list to the server 110 when a command to display the asset list is received from the user.

[0103] In step S114, the estimation unit 315 of the server 110 updates, for example, the expected selling prices of the items included in the asset list to update the asset list to the latest one.

[0104] In step S116, the transceiver 312 of the server 110 transmits the latest asset list to the terminal 120.

[0105] In step S118, the display control unit 413 of the terminal 120 performs control so as to display the acquired latest asset list on the display screen.

[0106] In step S120, when a user instructs the terminal 120 to put up an item in the asset list, the transmitter / receiver 412 transmits to the server 110 a request to put up an item (a putting up request).

[0107] In step S122, when the transmitting / receiving unit 312 of the server 110 receives the putting up request, the transaction management unit 317 performs the putting up process for the requested item.

[0108] The processes relating to the purchase wish list in steps S108 and S110 and the processes relating to the latest asset list in steps S112 and S118 may be performed in any order. The processes relating to the listing in steps S120 and S122 are not essential but are optional.

[0109] According to the above process, it is possible to provide a system that enables a user to appropriately update the estimated selling price of an item owned by the user and to manage the item as an asset. In addition, the user can put up a specific item from the asset list.

[0110] <Display form of embodiment> Display modes on the display screen of the terminal 120 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 10 to 13. Fig. 10 is a diagram showing an example of transition of an account balance screen of the terminal 120 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. A screen D10 shown in Fig. 10 is a balance screen of a user's electronic value account, and includes a display area showing the electronic value value "¥3,900" and the owned item balance (total value of expected selling price) "¥10,800". The owned item balance includes a details button B10.

[0111] When the user presses the Details button B10, the screen D10 transitions to screen D12. Screen D12 is a display screen for a "List of Owned Items" showing a list of assets, including the total estimated selling price and the estimated selling price for each item. In addition, the display column for each item includes a button for listing the item on an affiliated e-commerce platform, and also includes comparison information C10 showing a comparison with past estimated selling prices.

[0112] When the user presses the put up for sale button, the terminal 120 identifies the item and transmits a put up for sale request together with information about the identified item to the server 110. This enables the user to put up for sale an item on the electronic commerce platform with a simple operation.

[0113] Furthermore, by referring to the comparison information C10, the user can understand how the expected selling price of the item has changed from the past, and can understand the current market price of the item.

[0114] In addition, the user can select each item shown on screen D12, and a screen including detailed information about the selected item is displayed. For example, if the second item from the bottom, "GH" shoes, is selected, the screen shown in FIG. 11 is displayed.

[0115] Fig. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a detailed screen of an asset list of the terminal 120 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. A screen D20 shown in Fig. 11 shows an example of detailed information of an item in the asset list, and for example, item information of "GH" shoes is displayed. The detailed information includes, for example, item information at the time of registration in the asset list. In the example shown in Fig. 11, the detailed information includes item information such as category, size, brand, and condition of the item.

[0116] Screen D10 may also include suggestions for listing items, as displayed in a speech bubble. In the example shown in FIG. 11, "GH" shoes for "¥4,200" and "EF" hat for "¥2,600" are listed, and if sold, a "favorite item" backpack included in the purchase wish list can be purchased. This makes it possible to suggest listing items in the asset list based on items included in the wish list, and promote secondary distribution of products. Also, the user can get an idea of ​​what to list in order to purchase what items on the wish list.

[0117] Fig. 12 is a diagram showing an example of screen transition of a purchase wish list of the terminal 120 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Screen D30 shown in Fig. 12 is a display screen of a "wish list" showing a purchase wish list, and three items registered by the user are included in the "wish list". When the user selects "abc Chester coat", screen D32 including detailed information about this coat is displayed.

[0118] Fig. 13 is a diagram showing an example of a graph screen of an asset list of the terminal 120 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The screen shown in Fig. 13 shows, for example, an asset list represented using a pie chart, but is not limited to a pie chart, and any visualized graph such as a bar graph or a line graph may be used.

[0119] In the example shown in FIG. 13, the asset list is divided into categories, including the categories of "Clothes," "Shoes and Bags," "Books," and "Electrical Appliances." The user can also perform operations on this graph. For example, when the user performs an operation to narrow the display area for clothes, the asset processing unit 414 of the terminal 120 suggests to the user that an item of "Clothes" included in the asset list be put up for sale. At this time, the asset processing unit 414 may suggest putting up for sale items with the above-mentioned high priority or the highest expected selling price.

[0120] The asset processing unit 414 may also calculate a price relative to the total value of the estimated selling price according to the amount of area narrowed by which the display area is narrowed, and determine the proposed item based on the calculated price. For example, if the amount of area narrowed is large, an item with a high estimated selling price is proposed for sale, and if the amount of area narrowed is small, an item with a low estimated selling price is proposed for sale. In this case, the asset processing unit 414 may also determine the proposed item taking into consideration the priority.

[0121] This makes it possible to suggest items for sale according to user operations on the visualized asset list. It also makes it possible to provide an intuitive user interface that, when a user operates to narrow the display area, offers items that are not included in the narrowed area.

[0122] The graph in which the asset list is visualized may be expressed in a time series, which makes it possible to present to the user the increase or decrease in the assets over time.

[0123] <Modification> In the above-described embodiment, an example was described in which the server 110 has the image recognition function for the image of the item, but the terminal 120 may also have an image recognition function and automatically set some items of the item information by recognizing the image of the item.
