[0029] Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the embodiments described below are subject to various technically preferable limitations for carrying out the present invention, but the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments and illustrated examples.

[0030] <Rental System> FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of a rental system 1 in this embodiment. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the relationships between the people (resident, care provider X, property owner Y) who own the devices and terminals that make up rental system 1 in this embodiment. Rental system 1 is a system that provides rental properties A and B as rental properties where residents can live in peace of mind and where residents can become more aware of their health.

[0031] As shown in Fig. 2, rental properties A and B in this embodiment are properties rented by a care provider X from a property owner Y. Therefore, rent for rental properties A and B is paid to the property owner Y by the care provider X. Rental properties A and B are equipped with detection means 10 for detecting the condition of the residents, and care provider X monitors each resident using the detection means 10. Furthermore, care provider X monitors each resident directly, for example, by having staff from a care facility or the like operated by care provider X visit the resident periodically. The residents then pay rent, which includes a monitoring fee, to care provider X. In this manner, in this embodiment, the residents can be watched over by care provider X, allowing them to live in peace of mind. Furthermore, even if the residents have health concerns (elderly people, etc.), property owner Y can rent out properties A and B with peace of mind. Furthermore, because the rent is guaranteed by care provider X, property owner Y can rent out properties A and B with peace of mind even if the residents have financial concerns.

[0032] In addition, the rental properties A and B in this embodiment are properties for which a rental contract is concluded between the resident and nursing care provider X on the condition that the resident undergoes regular health checkups and medical examinations, and that if the resident's health condition is poor, the resident will be referred to a nursing care facility or the like instead of renewing the contract. This will increase the residents' awareness of their health. In other words, if they are not healthy, they will not be able to continue living in rental properties A and B, so they will be more likely to try to live a healthy lifestyle to prevent their health from worsening. In addition, since the rental properties A and B in this embodiment are managed by the care provider X, there is an advantage that if the resident's health condition is poor (specifically, for example, if the care provider X judges that the resident's health condition has deteriorated and that the resident is unable to live independently), the care provider X can introduce the resident to a care facility or the like operated by the care provider X. Therefore, even if the resident's health condition deteriorates and the resident is unable to renew the contract, the resident can move from the rental properties A and B to the care facility, so the resident will not have to worry about a place to live.

[0033] As shown in FIG. 1, the rental system 1 includes a detection means 10 and a relay device 20, which are provided in rental properties A and B. The rental system 1 also includes a management device 30 installed in a care facility or the like operated by care provider X, and a staff terminal 40 used by staff of the care facility or the like operated by care provider X. The rental system 1 also includes an owner terminal 50 used by the property owner Y of the rental properties A and B. The relay device 20, the management device 30, the staff terminal 40, and the owner terminal 50 are communicatively connected via a communication network N. The communication network N is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, the Internet.

[0034] In this embodiment, the property owner of the rental property A and the property owner of the rental property B are the same, but this is not limited to this. In other words, the property owner of the rental property A and the property owner of the rental property B may be different. In addition, in the illustrated example, rental property A and rental property B are located in the same building, but rental property A and rental property B may be located in different buildings. In addition, in this embodiment, the rental properties managed by the management device 30 are two, rental property A and rental property B, but this is not limited to this, and the rental properties managed by the management device 30 may be one, or three or more.

[0035] <Detection Method> The detection means 10 is a device capable of communicating with the management device 30. Specifically, the detection means 10 is communicatively connected (wirelessly or wired) to the relay device 20, and is capable of communicating with the management device 30 via the relay device 20 and the communication network N. The detection means 10 is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, an IoT (Internet of Things) device. The detection means 10 transmits the acquired data to the relay device 20. As a result, the data acquired by the detection means 10 (detection result of the detection means 10) is transmitted to the management device 30 via the communication network N. As shown in FIG. 1, rental properties A and B are provided with a bedroom detection means 11, a toilet detection means 12, a bathroom detection means 13, and a living room detection means 14 as detection means 10.

In this embodiment, a door opening / closing sensor 10c (a sensor that measures the number of times the toilet is used), a toilet seat sensor 10d (a sensor that measures the blood flow of the skin in contact with the toilet seat), and an excrement sensor 10e (a sensor that measures the odor of excrement) are installed as toilet detection means 12 in the toilets of rental properties A and B. This makes it possible to check the health of residents.

[0038] The bathroom detection means 13 is the detection means 10 that is installed in the bathroom. In this embodiment, an ultrasonic sensor 10a (which may be a sound sensor) is installed as the bathroom detection means 13 in the bathrooms of the rental properties A and B. This makes it possible to detect falls, drowning, and the like, of the resident.

[0039] The living room detection means 14 is the detection means 10 that is installed in the living room. In this embodiment, an ultrasonic sensor 10a (which may be a sound sensor) is installed as the living room detection means 14 in the living rooms of the rental properties A and B. This makes it possible to detect a fall or the like of a resident. Furthermore, a communication robot 10f is installed in the living room of each of the rental properties A and B as a living room detection means 14. The communication robot 10f can converse with the resident to find out about the resident's health condition and estimate the degree of dementia from symptoms such as the resident repeating the same conversation.

[0040] In addition, in each room (bedroom, toilet, bathroom, living room) of the rental properties A and B in this embodiment, a temperature and humidity sensor 10g (a sensor that measures temperature, humidity, etc.) is installed as a bedroom detection means 11, a toilet detection means 12, a bathroom detection means 13, and a living room detection means 14. This makes it possible to detect dangers such as heat stroke and heat shock. In addition, an automatic air conditioning control means for controlling air conditioning based on the detection results of the temperature and humidity sensor 10g may be installed in the rental properties A and B. In other words, the air conditioning may be automatically controlled based on the detection results of the temperature and humidity sensor 10g to avoid risks such as heat stroke and heat shock.

[0041] In addition, in each room of the rental properties A and B in this embodiment, a battery-less push button 10h (e.g., an IoT button) that generates power when pressed is installed as the bedroom detection means 11, the toilet detection means 12, the bathroom detection means 13, and the living room detection means 14. This allows the resident to detect the resident's abnormality by pressing the nearby push button 10h, for example, if the resident feels something abnormal with his or her body.

[0042] The bedroom detection means 11 is not limited to the devices shown in FIG. 1 (ultrasonic sensor 10a, sheet-shaped sleep sensor 10b, temperature and humidity sensor 10g, and push button 10h). Furthermore, the toilet detection means 12 is not limited to the devices shown in FIG. 1 (the door open / close sensor 10c, the toilet seat sensor 10d, the excrement sensor 10e, the temperature and humidity sensor 10g, and the push button 10h). Moreover, bathroom detection means 13 is not limited to the devices shown in FIG. 1 (ultrasonic sensor 10a, temperature and humidity sensor 10g, and push button 10h). Furthermore, the living room detection means 14 is not limited to the devices shown in FIG. 1 (the ultrasonic sensor 10a, the communication robot 10f, the temperature and humidity sensor 10g, and the push button 10h).

[0043] Furthermore, the detection means 10 is not limited to the bedroom detection means 11, the toilet detection means 12, the bathroom detection means 13, and the living room detection means 14. In other words, the room in which the detection means 10 is installed is not limited to the bedroom, toilet, bathroom, and living room, but may be any of the bedroom, toilet, bathroom, and living room, or may be a room other than the bedroom, toilet, bathroom, and living room. For example, at the entrances of rental properties A and B, a sensor (ultrasonic sensor 10a (which may be a sound sensor)) that detects a resident's fall or the like, or a push button 10h, etc. may be installed as detection means 10 (entrance detection means).

[0044] <Relay device> The relay device 20 is a gateway that connects the detection unit 10 and the communication network N. The relay device 20 is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, an IoT gateway. When the relay device 20 receives data acquired by the detection means 10 (detection results of the detection means 10) from the detection means 10, it transmits the data to the management device 30 via the communication network N together with the property ID (identifier) ​​of the rental property in which the relay device 20 is installed, etc.

[0045] The relay device 20 also includes a display unit, an input unit, and the like. For example, when the relay device 20 receives data from the management device 30 via the communication network N, the relay device 20 displays the data on the display unit.

[0046] <Staff terminal> The staff terminal 40 is composed of a computer such as a PC, a smartphone, or a tablet, and is carried and used by staff of a care facility or the like operated by the care provider X. In this embodiment, a smartphone, which is a portable information terminal, is used.

[0047] <Owner's device> The owner terminal 50 is configured with a computer such as a PC, a smartphone, or a tablet, and is owned and used by the property owner Y of the rental properties A and B. In this embodiment, a smartphone, which is a portable information terminal, is used.

[0048] <Management device> The management device 30 includes a calculation processing unit, a display unit, an input unit, a communication unit, and the like. The calculation processing unit of the management device 30 is composed of a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), etc., and controls the processing operations of each part in the rental system 1 in an integrated manner. Specifically, a program is stored in the arithmetic processing unit of the management device 30. The arithmetic processing unit executes the program to realize the functions of the management device 30, that is, the means 31 to 35 included in the management device 30 shown in FIG.

[0049] The management device 30 includes a contract renewal determination means 31 that determines whether or not a resident meets the conditions for renewal of the rental contract based on health information about the resident's health. The contract renewal determination means 31 will be described in detail with reference to Figs. 4 and 6 below. The management device 30 also includes a rent setting means 32 that determines whether or not a resident meets the conditions for rent reduction based on health information about the resident's health, and sets the rent for the rental property based on the result of the determination. The rent setting means 32 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 4 below. The management device 30 also includes an abnormality notification means 33 that notifies a predetermined contact point when it is determined that an abnormality has occurred in the resident based on the detection result of the detection means 10. The abnormality notification means 33 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 5 below.

[0050] The management device 30 also includes a determination result notifying means 34 that notifies the resident of renewal determination information based on the determination result of the contract renewal determination means 31. The determination result notifying means 34 will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 6. The management device 30 also includes a health suggestion means 35 for notifying the resident of health suggestion information based on health information relating to the resident's health. The health suggestion means 35 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 6 below.

[0051] Furthermore, the management device 30 includes a property information storage means 36 that stores property information related to rental properties managed by the management device 30. The property information storage means 36 stores, as property information for each rental property, for example, a property ID and address of the rental property, and information (such as name) about the resident living in the rental property.

[0052] The management device 30 also includes a health information storage means 37 for storing health information relating to the health of residents living in the rental property managed by the management device 30. The health information storage means 37 stores, for each resident, health information such as detection results (information regarding the resident's condition detected by the detection means 10), medical examination results (information regarding the results of the resident's medical examination and medical checkup), and consent information regarding the consent to the provision of the health information to an external party, in association with the property ID of the rental property in which the resident lives.

[0053] Specifically, the health information storage means 37 stores the data from the relay device 20, i.e., the detection result of the detection means 10, in association with the property ID of the rental property in which the relay device 20 is installed. Furthermore, when the communication unit of the management device 30 receives the medical checkup results of a resident, the health information storage means 37 stores the medical checkup results in association with the property ID of the rental property in which the resident lives. In this embodiment, when a resident undergoes a medical checkup (which may be a medical examination), the medical checkup results of the resident are transmitted from an information terminal (not shown) used by the medical examination institution (hospital, etc.) that performed the medical checkup to the management device 30 via the communication network N.

[0054] <Operation flow> [Contract renewal decision process] 4 is a flowchart showing an example of a contract renewal determination process performed by the management device 30 in this embodiment. This contract renewal determination process is executed, for example, at predetermined intervals (for example, every 24 hours).

[0055] 4, the management device 30 first determines whether the contract renewal determination timing has come for any of the rental properties managed by the management device 30 (step S11). If it is determined that the contract renewal determination timing has not come (step S11; No), the management device 30 ends the contract renewal determination process. On the other hand, if it is determined that the time has come to make a contract renewal decision (Step S11; Yes), the management device 30 uses the contract renewal decision means 31 to determine whether or not the resident meets the rental contract renewal conditions based on the resident's health information (Steps S12 to S14). Specifically, the contract renewal determination means 31 extracts health information of the resident for a predetermined period including today (for example, for the most recent year) from the health information storage means 37 (step S12).

[0056] The timing for determining contract renewal is, for example, a few months (for example, six months) before the expiration date of a rental contract period (for example, two years). Here, it is assumed that, among the rental properties managed by management device 30, rental property A has reached the time for determining contract renewal. Therefore, in step S12, contract renewal determination means 31 extracts health information for a predetermined period including today from health information storage means 37 of the resident living in rental property A (hereinafter referred to as "resident A") based on the property ID of rental property A.

[0057] Next, the contract renewal determination means 31 determines whether or not resident A satisfies the contract renewal conditions based on the extracted health information (step S13). Specifically, the contract renewal determination means 31 evaluates, for example, each of the specified detection results contained in the health information extracted in step S12 based on predetermined criteria, and determines an evaluation rank for each detection result (for example, "Rating I", "Rating II", and "Rating III"; "Rating I" is the highest rating and "Rating III" is the lowest rating). The specified detection results are, for example, a detection result from the ultrasonic sensor 10a of the bedroom detection means 11, a detection result from the sheet-shaped sleep sensor 10b of the bedroom detection means 11, a detection result from the door opening / closing sensor 10c of the toilet detection means 12, a detection result from the toilet seat sensor 10d of the toilet detection means 12, a detection result from the excrement sensor 10e of the toilet detection means 12, and a detection result from the communication robot 10f of the living room detection means 14.

[0058] In addition, the contract renewal determination means 31 evaluates the data for each test item in the health check results included in the health information extracted in step S12, for example, based on standards established by the Japan Society of Ningen Dock Examinations, and determines an evaluation rank for each test item (for example, "Evaluation A (no abnormalities)", "Evaluation B (mild abnormalities)", "Evaluation C (requires re-examination and lifestyle improvements)", "Evaluation D (requires detailed examination and treatment)") Then, the contract renewal determination means 31 determines that the contract renewal conditions are not met if the number of predetermined evaluation ranks (for example, the sum of the number of ``Ratings III'', the number of ``Ratings C'', and the number of ``Ratings D'') is greater than or equal to a predetermined number.

[0059] In step S13, when it is determined that the contract renewal conditions are not met (step S13; No), the contract renewal determination means 31 outputs the determination result (step S14). Specifically, the contract renewal determination means 31 displays, for example, on the display unit of the management device 30, that Resident A does not meet the contract renewal conditions. This makes it possible to notify the care provider X that Resident A is not eligible for contract renewal. If Resident A does not satisfy the contract renewal conditions, Resident A will relocate, for example, to a nursing care facility operated by nursing care provider X, by the expiration date of the rental contract period. At that time, Resident A's nursing care level (degree of nursing care required) can be determined based on Resident A's health information stored in health information storage means 37, so there is no need to provide an opportunity to determine Resident A's nursing care level again, allowing for a smooth relocation.

[0060] On the other hand, if it is determined in step S13 that the contract renewal conditions are met (step S13; Yes), the management device 30 sets the rent after contract renewal for the rental property A using the rent setting means 32 (steps S15 to S17). Specifically, the rent setting means 32 determines whether or not occupant A satisfies the conditions for rent reduction based on occupant A's health information (step S15).

[0061] In this embodiment, if a resident agrees to provide their health information to a research institution or the like, it is determined that the rent reduction conditions are met. As described above, the health information storage means 37 stores, as health information, for each resident, detection results (information regarding the resident's condition detected by the detection means 10), medical examination results (information regarding the results of the resident's medical examination and medical checkup), and consent / non-conformity information regarding whether the resident consents to providing the health information to an outside party (such as a research institution) in association with the property ID. The rent setting means 32 extracts the consent / non-conformity information of resident A from the health information storage means 37, and determines whether resident A consents to providing his / her health information to an outside party based on the extracted consent / non-conformity information, and determines that resident A satisfies the rent reduction conditions if resident A consents.

[0062] The health information includes not only the results of medical checkups and medical examinations, but also detection results from various sensors (e.g., sensors 10a to 10e and robot 10f). Therefore, based on the health information, the resident's health condition can be understood, as well as the resident's lifestyle. In other words, the health information is useful information that can be used as statistical data on health (e.g., data on what kind of lifestyle leads to what kind of health condition). By providing the resident's health information (e.g., detection results and medical checkup results) to a research institution, etc., the research institution, etc. pays an information provision fee, and in exchange for receiving the information provision fee, the care provider X reduces the resident's rent.

[0063] If it is determined in step S15 that the rent reduction conditions are met (step S15; Yes), the rent setting means 32 calculates the amount of rent reduction based on the normal rent for rental property A, the information provision fee, etc. (step S16). Next, the rent setting means 32 outputs the rent after the contract renewal (step S17). Specifically, the rent setting means 32 displays, for example, on the display unit of the management device 30, a message indicating that Resident A meets the contract renewal conditions and the rent reduction conditions, and the rent after the contract renewal. This allows the care provider X to be notified of the rent after the contract renewal that Resident A will pay.

[0064] On the other hand, if it is determined in step S15 that the rent reduction conditions are not met (step S15; No), the rent setting means 32 outputs the rent after the contract renewal without performing the process of step S16 (step S17). Specifically, the rent setting means 32 displays, for example, on the display unit of the management device 30, a message that Resident A meets the contract renewal conditions but does not meet the rent reduction conditions, and the rent after the contract renewal. This allows the care provider X to be notified of the rent after the contract renewal that Resident A will be paying.

[0065] If it is determined in step S15 that the rent reduction conditions are met, then in step S17, for example, the regular rent for rental property A minus the reduction amount calculated in step S16 is output as the rent after contract renewal. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S15 that the rent reduction conditions are not met, then in step S17, for example, the regular rent for rental property A is output as the rent after contract renewal.

[0066] [Error notification processing] 5 is a flowchart showing an example of an abnormality notification process performed by the management device 30 in this embodiment. This abnormality notification process is executed at intervals (for example, every minute) shorter than the execution interval of the contract renewal determination process, for example.

[0067] 5, the management device 30 first determines whether the communication unit of the management device 30 has received data from the relay device 20, i.e., the detection result of the detection means 10 (step S21). If it is determined that the detection result has not been received (step S21; No), the management device 30 proceeds to the process of step S25. On the other hand, when it is determined that the detection result has been received (step S21; Yes), the management device 30 stores the received detection result in the health information storage means 37 (step S22). Next, when the management device 30 determines that an abnormality has occurred in the resident based on the received detection result, the abnormality notification means 33 notifies a predetermined contact point (steps S23 to S26).

[0068] Specifically, the abnormality notification means 33 determines whether or not the push button 10h has been pressed based on the received detection result (step S23). If it is determined that the push button 10h has been pressed (step S23; Yes), that is, if the received detection result is a detection result from the push button 10h (data notifying that the push button 10h has been pressed), the abnormality notification means 33 extracts data such as the address of the rental property in which the push button 10h is installed and the name of the resident living in the rental property, from the property information storage means 36 based on the property ID transmitted together with the detection result.The abnormality notification means 33 then notifies the staff terminal 40, the owner terminal 50, a terminal (not shown) provided at the emergency information center, and the like, of the occurrence of an abnormality in the resident (here, that the resident has pressed the push button 10h) together with the extracted data via the communication network N (step S26).

[0069] On the other hand, if it is determined that the push button 10h has not been pressed (step S23; No), the abnormality notification means 33 determines whether or not a fall of the resident has been detected based on the received detection result (step S24). When it is determined that a fall of a resident has been detected (step S24; Yes), that is, when the received detection result is a detection result from the ultrasonic sensor 10a of the bathroom detection means 13 or the living room detection means 14, the abnormality notification means 33 extracts data such as the address of the rental property where the ultrasonic sensor 10a is installed and the name of the resident living in the rental property, from the property information storage means 36 based on the property ID transmitted together with the detection result. Then, the abnormality notification means 33 notifies the staff terminal 40, the owner terminal 50, a terminal (not shown) provided at the emergency information center, etc., of the occurrence of an abnormality in the resident (here, that the resident may have fallen (or drowned)) together with the extracted data via the communication network N (step S26).

[0070] On the other hand, if it is determined that a resident's fall has not been detected (step S24; No), the abnormality notification means 33 determines whether there are any rental properties that are out of contact, i.e., rental properties that have not sent detection results for a certain period of time (step S25). Specifically, the abnormality notification means 33 compares the property IDs (property IDs sent along with the detection results of the detection means 10) received by the communications unit of the management device 30 within a certain period (for example, the last 48 hours) with the property IDs of each rental property managed by the management device 30, and determines whether there are any rental properties for which detection results have not been sent within that certain period.

[0071] When it is determined that there is a rental property that has not sent a detection result for a certain period of time (step S25; Yes), the abnormality notification means 33 extracts data such as the address of the rental property and the name of the resident living in the rental property from the property information storage means 36 based on the property ID of the rental property.The abnormality notification means 33 then notifies the staff terminal 40, the owner terminal 50, a terminal (not shown) provided at the emergency information center, etc., of the extracted data and of the occurrence of an abnormality in the resident (here, that the behavior of the resident has not been detected for a certain period of time) via the communication network N (step S26). On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no rental property that has not sent a detection result for a certain period of time (step S25; No), the abnormality notification process ends.

[0072] [Update decision notification process] 6 is a flowchart showing an example of a renewal determination notification process performed by the management device 30 in this embodiment. This renewal determination notification process is executed, for example, at a cycle (for example, one month) shorter than the contract renewal cycle (for example, two years) of the rental contract. In addition, this renewal determination notification process is executed for each resident living in the rental property managed by the management device 30.

[0073] As shown in FIG. 6, management device 30 first determines, by means of contract renewal determination means 31, whether or not a resident meets the conditions for renewal of the rental contract, based on the resident's health information (steps S31 to S32). Specifically, the contract renewal determination means 31 extracts health information of the resident for a predetermined period including today (e.g., the most recent month) from the health information storage means 37 (step S31), and determines whether the resident satisfies the contract renewal conditions based on the extracted health information (step S32). The method of determination is almost the same as step S13, so a detailed description will be omitted.

[0074] In step S32, when the contract renewal determination means 31 determines that the contract renewal condition is met (step S32; Yes), the management device 30 notifies the resident of renewal determination information via the determination result notification means (step S33). Specifically, in step S32, if the contract renewal determination means 31 determines that resident A satisfies the contract renewal conditions, the determination result notification means 34 transmits renewal determination information notifying that the contract renewal conditions are satisfied to the relay device 20 installed in the rental property A where resident A lives, via the communication network N. As a result, the renewal determination information is displayed on the display unit of the relay device 20 installed in the rental property A.

[0075] On the other hand, if in step S32 the contract renewal determination means 31 determines that the contract renewal conditions are not met (step S32; No), the management device 30 notifies the resident of the renewal determination information via the determination result notification means 34 (step S34), and notifies the resident of the health suggestion information via the health suggestion means 35 (step S35). Specifically, if the contract renewal determination means 31 determines in step S32 that Resident A does not satisfy the contract renewal conditions, the determination result notification means 34 transmits renewal determination information notifying that the contract renewal conditions are not satisfied to the relay device 20 installed in the rental property A where Resident A lives, via the communication network N. As a result, the renewal determination information is displayed on the display unit of the relay device 20 installed in the rental property A.

[0076] Furthermore, if the contract renewal determination means 31 determines in step S32 that resident A does not satisfy the contract renewal conditions, the health suggestion means 35 creates health suggestion information targeted at resident A based on the health information stored in the health information storage means 37, and transmits the health suggestion information to relay device 20 installed in the rental property A where resident A lives, via communication network N. As a result, the health suggestion information is displayed on the display unit of relay device 20 installed in the rental property A. The health suggestion information targeted at resident A is, for example, information that suggests to resident A to improve lifestyle habits such as diet, exercise, sleep, etc., suggests areas for improvement, or suggests methods for improvement. In addition, the health suggestion information targeted at resident A can be created, for example, based on the health information of resident A stored in the health information storage means 37 and / or based on the results of a comparison between the health information of resident A and the health information of other residents (for example, residents who satisfy the contract renewal conditions) among the health information stored in the health information storage means 37.

[0077] <Effects> According to this embodiment, the following excellent effects are obtained. The management device 30 of this embodiment is a management device that manages rental properties A and B, and includes contract renewal determination means 31 that determines whether or not a resident meets the rental contract renewal conditions based on health information related to the resident's health, and is capable of communicating with detection means 10 that are provided in rental properties A and B and detect the condition of the resident. The health information includes the detection results of the detection means 10. Moreover, the rental system 1 of the present embodiment includes a management device 30 and a detection means 10.

[0078] That is, the management device 30 can communicate with the detection means 10 installed in the rental properties A and B managed by the management device 30, so that the residents can be watched over by the detection means 10. Furthermore, since residents cannot continue living in the rental properties A and B (cannot renew their contract) if their health condition deteriorates, the residents can be made more aware of their health. Therefore, rental properties A and B are properties that property owner Y can rent out with peace of mind, even if the residents have health concerns.

[0079] In addition, in the management device 30 of this embodiment, the health information may include the medical checkup results of the resident. With this configuration, the contract renewal determination means 31 can determine whether or not the resident meets the contract renewal conditions based on the detection results of the detection means 10 and the resident's health check results. Therefore, in addition to the information that can be obtained by the detection means 10 (sensor, etc.), information that can be obtained by health checkups, medical examinations, etc. is also used to determine the resident's health condition (determine whether or not the contract renewal conditions are met), which gives the property owner Y an even greater sense of security.

[0080] In this embodiment, the contract renewal determination means 31 determines whether or not the contract renewal conditions are met based on the detection results of the detection means 10 and the health check results of the resident, but the contract renewal conditions are not limited to this. The contract renewal conditions may be any conditions that can be determined whether or not they are met based on the health information stored in the health information storage means 37, and may include at least the detection results of the detection means 10.

[0081] In addition to at the time of contract renewal, at the time of tenancy screening, the contract renewal judgment means 31 may judge whether or not the resident (in this case, the prospective resident) satisfies the contract renewal conditions of the rental contract based on health information on the resident's health. If the contract renewal conditions are met, the resident may be allowed to move into rental properties A and B, and if the contract renewal conditions are not met, the resident may not pass the tenancy screening.

[0082] At the time of the occupancy screening, the health information of the resident (applicant) is not stored in the health information storage means 37. Therefore, for example, a health examination certificate brought by the resident may be read and the read information may be stored in the health information storage means 37 as the health examination results. In that case, at the time of the occupancy screening, the health information storage means 37 stores the health examination results but not the detection results. Therefore, the judgment modes of the contract renewal judgment means 31 may be provided as a contract renewal mode in which a judgment is made based on the detection results and the health examination results stored in the health information storage means 37, and an occupancy screening mode in which a judgment is made based only on the health examination results stored in the health information storage means 37.

[0083] Furthermore, the management device 30 of this embodiment can include rent setting means 32 that sets the rent for the rental properties A and B based on the health information of the residents. With this configuration, rent is set based on health information, which can increase residents' awareness of their health.

[0084] In this embodiment, the rent setting means 32 judges whether the rent reduction conditions are met based on the consent information on whether the resident consents to providing his / her health information to the outside, but the rent reduction conditions are not limited to this. The rent reduction conditions may be any conditions that can be judged whether they are met based on the health information stored in the health information storage means 37. For example, if the resident's health check results are better than the previous one or better than the health check results of the same age group, it may be judged that the rent reduction conditions are met. In addition, if a resident's health check results are worse than the previous time, or are worse than the health check results of people of the same age, it may be determined that the conditions for a rent increase are met, and the rent paid by the resident for rental properties A and B may be increased.

[0085] Furthermore, the management device 30 of this embodiment can include a determination result notifying means 34 that notifies the resident of renewal determination information based on the determination result of the contract renewal determination means 31. Furthermore, the contract renewal determination means 31 can be configured to determine whether or not the resident meets the contract renewal conditions of the rental contract at a period shorter than the contract renewal period of the rental contract (for example, once a month). With this configuration, information as to whether the rental contract can be renewed is periodically transmitted to the resident, so that the resident's awareness of health can be periodically increased. In addition, when the contract renewal conditions are not met, there is a problem that the resident may be confused if the fact is discovered at the time of contract renewal judgment. In contrast, by periodically notifying the resident of information on whether the rental contract can be renewed as in the present embodiment, such problems can be avoided, which is convenient for the resident.

[0086] Furthermore, the management device 30 of this embodiment may include health suggestion means 35 that notifies the resident of health suggestion information based on the health information stored in the health information storage means 37. With this configuration, health advice can be given to the resident, which can increase the resident's awareness of health. The health suggestion information may be created based on the health information stored in the health information storage means 37 and information other than the health information.

[0087] In addition, in the management device 30 of this embodiment, the detection means 10 includes a plurality of bedroom detection means 11 installed in the bedroom, a plurality of toilet detection means 12 installed in the toilet, a plurality of bathroom detection means 13 installed in the bathroom, and a plurality of living room detection means 14 installed in the living room. That is, since the detection means 10 can be installed everywhere in the rental properties A and B, the resident can be watched over by the detection means 10 wherever the resident is in the rental properties A and B. This can provide a greater sense of security to the property owner Y, and also to the resident.

[0088] The detection means 10 may include at least one of the bedroom detection means 11, the toilet detection means 12, the bathroom detection means 13, and the living room detection means 14. Also, the bedroom detection means 11 may be one rather than multiple. Furthermore, the toilet detection means 12 may be one rather than multiple. Furthermore, the bathroom detection means 13 may be one rather than multiple. Furthermore, the number of living room detection means 14 may be one instead of multiple.

[0089] Furthermore, the grade and type of the detection means 10 installed in the rental property A and the rental property B may be different. For example, a higher grade detection means 10 is installed in rental property A, and a lower grade detection means 10 is installed in rental property B. The health status of the resident is divided into three levels: "good", "fair" and "bad". If the contract renewal determination means 31 determines that the resident's health status is "good" based on the health information, it may determine that the contract renewal conditions of rental property A and rental property B are met, if the contract renewal determination means 31 determines that the resident's health status is "fair", it may determine that the resident meets the contract renewal conditions of rental property A but does not meet the contract renewal conditions of rental property B, and if the resident's health status is "bad", it may determine that the resident does not meet the contract renewal conditions of rental property A and rental property B. In this case, if the resident's health status is determined to be "fair" and the property in which the resident currently lives is rental property B, the resident needs to move from rental property B (to rental property A or a nursing facility). In addition, if a resident's health condition is judged to be "unacceptable" and the property in which the resident currently lives is rental property A or rental property B, the resident will be required to move from rental property A or B (to a nursing facility).

[0090] In addition, in the rental system 1 of this embodiment, the detection means 10 is an IoT device capable of communicating with the management device 30. In other words, since it is possible to use an existing IoT device as the detection means 10, the rental system 1 can be easily constructed.

[0091] In addition, the rental system 1 of this embodiment can be equipped with an abnormality notification means 33 that notifies a specified contact point when it is determined that an abnormality has occurred with the resident based on the detection result of the detection means 10. With this configuration, if an abnormality occurs with a resident, a notification is sent to a specified contact point, making it possible to deal with the abnormality promptly. This provides a greater sense of security to the property owner Y, and also to the resident.

[0092] 5 (push button 10h is pressed, a fall (or drowning) is detected, no detection for a certain period of time). For example, if the received detection result is a detection result from temperature and humidity sensor 10g, it may be determined whether or not there is a possibility of danger such as heat stroke or heat shock occurring based on the detection result, and if there is a possibility of danger occurring, the staff terminal 40, the owner terminal 50, a terminal (not shown) provided in the emergency information center, etc. may be notified via the communication network N that an abnormality has occurred in the resident (there is a possibility of danger such as heat stroke or heat shock occurring).

[0093] Furthermore, the predetermined contact points to which the resident's abnormality is notified are not limited to the care staff (staff terminal 40), the property owner Y (owner terminal 50), and the emergency information center. In the present embodiment, the abnormality notification means 33 is provided in the management device 30, but this is not limited to the above. The abnormality notification means 33 may be provided in the relay device 20, for example. In this case, the predetermined contact point may include the management device 30.

[0094] In this embodiment, a visiting service is provided to the resident in which the care provider X (specifically, a staff member of a care facility operated by the care provider X) periodically visits the rental property. The timing of the visit and the priority of the visit may be determined based on the detection result of the detection means 10.

[0095] In addition, in the rental system 1 of this embodiment, the management device 30 is a device used by a provider (care provider X) that provides monitoring services to residents, a rental contract is concluded between the provider and the resident, and the provider is able to grasp the condition of the resident based on the detection results of the detection means 10. With this configuration, a provider of a monitoring service for a resident can monitor the resident using the detection means 10.

[0096] In addition, in the rental system 1 of this embodiment, rental properties A and B can be properties rented from a property owner Y by the provider. With this configuration, the provider pays the rent for the rental properties A and B to the property owner Y. Therefore, the property owner Y can rent out the rental properties A and B with peace of mind, since he will not fail to collect the rent.

[0097] The provider of the monitoring service for the residents is not limited to the care provider X, and may be, for example, the property owner Y. When the provider of the monitoring service for the residents is the property owner Y, the rental properties A and B may not be properties rented by the care provider X, but may be properties rented directly by the property owner Y to the residents.

[0098] In recent years, there has been a demand to achieve the goals of the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), and various initiatives are being taken in the construction industry. The rental properties A and B provided in this embodiment are rental properties mainly targeted at elderly people. Therefore, the problem that elderly people have difficulty renting rental properties can be solved, which leads to the achievement of goals 3, 10, 11, 16, etc. [Explanation of symbols]
