[0052] <Flow of processing> While referring to Figures 9 to 19, the processing flow of the information management method executed by the system 1 of the present embodiment ​​​Describe the flow.

[0053] FIGS. 9, 14, and 17 are flowcharts related to an information management method as an embodiment of the present invention is an example. Here, in order to use this system 1, the user uses a web browser of the user terminal 200 or an application provided by a service provider to access the server device 100. When using the service provided by this system 1 if the user uses the service for the first time, the user inputs the above-mentioned basic information of the user, etc., and if the user has already obtained a user account for example, the service may be made available by receiving a predetermined authentication such as inputting an ID and a password and logging in. In that case after this authentication, a predetermined user interface may be provided via a website, an application, etc. Also, the timing at which the server device 100 requests the user to log in is not particularly limited and the server device 100 may request the user to log in during the process of using the service. For example, it may not be necessary to log in until the stage of displaying a property list of real estate properties related to a purchase and it may be necessary to log in at the stage of determining a property that the user wishes to purchase. First, when the user operates the user terminal 200 to access the server device 100, as the process of step S101 the control unit 130 (buying and selling processing unit 135) of the server device 100 refers to the status information of each real estate property stored in the real estate property data storage unit 122 via the real estate property data management unit 133 and also refers to information related to software stored in the software data storage unit 124 via the software data management unit 137, and real estate that can be sold properties

[0054] First, when the user operates the user terminal 200 to access the server device 100, as the process of step S101 the control unit 130 (buying and selling processing unit 135) of the server device 100 refers to the status information of each real estate property stored in the real estate property data storage unit 122 via the real estate property data management unit 133 and also refers to information related to software stored in the software data storage unit 124 via the software data management unit 137, and real estate that can be sold properties information, etc., and real estate that can be sold Generate and output a list of objects and software related to the real estate object (object list). The object list may include only information about one real estate object, or may include information about multiple real estate objects. The object list can include some or all of the information of each real estate object stored in the object data storage unit 122. Also, the object list can include information related to one or more types of software applicable to each object. The control unit 130 (transaction processing unit 135) of the server device 100 transmits the data of the object list to the user terminal 200 via the communication unit 110 (and via the network NW). The user terminal 200 receives the data of the object list via the communication unit 210 and causes it to be displayed (browsed) on the display operation unit 220 (step S102).

[0055] FIG. 10 shows an example of a screen displayed on the display operation unit 220 as a user interface provided via a web browser or an application provided in the user terminal 200. The object list can be displayed as shown in FIG. 10, for example, but is not limited to this. When generating the object list, it may be generated based on the user's desired conditions, or may be generated based on the conditions set in advance by the service provider. When receiving a request for the user's desired conditions and generating an object list based on the desired conditions, before, after, or in the middle of step S101, the control unit 130 of the server device 100 performs a process of receiving the input of the user's desired conditions (receiving a desired condition request). Specifically, for example, when the user uses the user terminal ​​​​​​​​Operate the 200 to input or select the desired conditions of the real estate property for which purchase is desired. These desired conditions may include, for example, purchase desire, upper limit, lower limit, or range of the desired amount (desired purchase amount), location of the property (e.g., prefecture, city, town, village, area), size, layout, floor, building structure, etc. Further, the server device 100 may have a search function that searches for properties based on the user's desired conditions and extracts only the properties that match the conditions. In that case, for example, the control unit 130 of the server device 100 searches for properties corresponding to the user's desired conditions received from the user terminal 200 from among the data stored in the property data storage unit 122.

[0056] The property list displayed in the screen example of FIG. 10 is associated with the property ID of each real estate property and includes property numbers (such as "No.001" and "No.002" in FIG. 10), property names (such as "ISE" and "NASU" in FIG. 10), the location area of the property ("Mie (Ise-Shima)" and "Tochigi (Nasu)" in FIG. 10), selling price (in the example of FIG. 10, selling prices "\10,000,000 (tax included)" and "\20,000,000 (tax included)"), a description article of the property features (in the example of FIG. 10, "Excellent location 2 with a panoramic view of the sea" and "Proximity to a ranch"), the number of floors of the 2 property, size (in the example of FIG. 10, "Three-story building, exclusive area 200m ", "Two-story building, exclusive area 150m "), software information, etc. Note that the selling price in the example of FIG. 10 can be the amount including the real estate property and the software, but is not limited to this. For example, the purchase amount of the real estate property and the license amount of the On the screen of 11, the price of each software and the total price, etc. may be displayed. Also, for example, on the screen of FIG. 11, the license period of each software may be selectable. In that case, the purchase price changes according to the length of the license period.

[0057] The user can operate the user terminal 200 to select the property and software that the user wishes to purchase from among the properties included in the above property list. Note that the software to be automatically purchased may be selected by selecting the property that the user wishes to purchase, or the user may be able to select the software to be purchased, as will be described later. Regarding the operation of the user terminal 200, for example, when the user wishes to purchase the property with the property number "No. 001" in FIG. 10, the "Add to Cart" button P1 is selected by a tap operation or the like. Here, the "cart" is a virtual "shopping cart", and the information indicating that the user has selected the "Add to Cart" button for a predetermined property is stored as cart information in the user data storage unit 121 of the server device 100. Thereby, the user can display the properties placed in the cart by selecting the cart icon P2 (cart image) shown in FIG. 10. Also, when the "Add to Cart" button is selected for a plurality of properties, the purchase settlement of the plurality of properties can be performed together at the same time. Note that the property once placed in the cart can be removed from the cart (changing various information to a state where the property is not in the cart) by updating the cart information in the user data storage unit 121 by selecting, for example, a tap operation of the "Remove from Cart" button P4 in FIG. 12. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ is also possible.

[0058] Here, FIG. 11 shows a case where the user selects the “Software Information” button P12 corresponding to the property with the property number “No. 001” on the screen shown in FIG. 10, and an example of the screen displayed on the user terminal 200 is shown. As shown in FIG. 11, information on all software that can be purchased together with the property “No. 001” is displayed. When the user selects the “Software Information” button P12, a software information display request is sent from the user terminal 200 to the server device 100. The buying / selling processing unit 135 of the server device 100 that has received the software information display request refers to the property data storage unit 122 via the property data management unit 133, and also refers to the software data storage unit 124 via the software data management unit 137, generates a list of software related to the property, and sends it to the user terminal 200. In the example shown in FIG. 11, a list of multiple types of software (licenses) that can be purchased simultaneously with the purchase of the real estate property is displayed. As shown in FIG. 11, the user may be able to select the software to be purchased by operating the user terminal 200, or may not be able to select it (it is necessary to purchase a license for a predetermined software together with the purchase of the real estate property). In that case, for example, on the screen of FIG. 10 or FIG. 11, the software purchased together with each property may be displayed. Also, when the user selects the “Back” button P13 shown in FIG. 11, the screen shown in FIG. 10 is returned to. In the screen shown in FIG. 10, when the user selects the “Add to Cart” button P1,

[0059] As the process of step S103, the control unit 240 of the user terminal 200 transmits, via the communication unit 210, information indicating that the property of "No.001" has been selected as a purchase candidate to the server device 100 (information indicating that the user has selected the "Add to Cart" button P1 for the property of "No.001") . The server device 100 receives the information transmitted from the user terminal 200 via the communication unit 110. Then, the control unit 130 of the server device 100 updates the user data in the storage unit 120 based on the information (step S104). Specifically , the buying and selling processing unit 135 of the server device 100 updates the information in the cart in the user data storage unit 121 of the storage unit 120 and performs a process of storing the property of "No.001" and the software information related to the property . Note that the user can add multiple properties and the software corresponding to each property to the cart as purchase candidates by selecting the "Add to Cart" button for the multiple properties . When the user operates the user terminal 200 and selects the cart icon P2, the user terminal 200 transmits a display request for all the properties selected by the "Add to Cart" button P1 to the server device 100 (step S105) . When the server device 100 receives the request, it refers to the information in the cart in the user data storage unit 121, generates a list of all the properties selected by the "Add to Cart" button, and the buying and selling processing unit 135 of the server device 100 transmits information related to the list of properties in the cart to the user terminal 200 (step S106) . . .

As a result, similar to the case when the "Purchase" button P4 in FIG. 12 is selected, the user terminal 200 sends a purchase request for the property and the software related to the property to the server device 100 (step S108).

[0063] When the server device 100 receives the purchase request, for example, it performs processing for inventory confirmation and inventory securing of the property (step S109). That is, the buying and selling processing unit 135 of the server device 100 refers to the status information of the property data storage unit 122 via the property data management unit 133 to confirm that the status of the property is "for sale" (inventory confirmation processing). When the status of the property is "for sale", the status is changed (updated) to "not for sale" (inventory securing processing). This can prevent other users from starting the purchase procedure of the property. Note that the inventory securing processing may be performed when the deposit processing of the application fee described later is completed. If the status of the property at the time of inventory confirmation is "not for sale", the server device 100 transmits information indicating that to the user terminal 200 and aborts the purchase procedure.

[0064] Next, the server device 100 transmits information regarding the input screen of user information to the user terminal 200 and causes the user terminal 200 to display the input screen of user information. The user operates the user terminal 200 to input user information such as the basic information of the user (step S110). The user terminal 200 transmits the input user information to the server device 100, and the server device 100 registers the user information by storing it in the user data storage unit 121 of the storage unit 120 (step S111). If the user has logged in to the system 1 in advance and the user information is stored in the server device 100, the user information input step S110 and the step S111 of registering the user information can be omitted.

[0065] ​​​​​​​​​​ Next, based on the operation of the user terminal 200 by the user, the user terminal 200 transmits a request for application fee payment settlement to the server device 100. The server device 100 performs settlement processing for application fee payment to online pay a part of the cost of the real estate property and software as the application fee to the owner of the property (in this example, the service provider) (step S112). For example, the server device 100 generates information regarding the screen for making a request for application fee payment, transmits the information to the user terminal 200, and causes the user terminal 200 to display an application fee payment screen. For example, the server device 100 generates information regarding the screen for making a request for application fee payment, transmits the information to the user terminal 200, and causes the user terminal 200 to display an application fee payment screen.

[0066] FIG. 13 is an example of an application fee payment screen displayed on the user terminal 200. The user operates the user terminal 200 to input or select various information regarding the credit card (card number, expiration date, etc.). If the information regarding the credit card has been registered in advance, the input or selection of the information can be omitted. When the user operates the user terminal 200 to select the "Pay by Credit Card" button P6 in FIG. 13, the user terminal 200 transmits information indicating the execution of payment processing to the server device 100 (step S112). Note that the settlement processing for application fee payment is not limited to the use of a credit card, and any settlement method that can be linked with this system can be adopted. For example, points available for use within this service may be used, debit card settlement or prepaid card settlement may be used, electronic money may be used, an electronic settlement service including code settlement using a barcode, a two-dimensional code, etc., or an electronic account of a financial institution may be used, or a combination thereof may be used. The control unit 130 of the server device 100 applies ​​​​​​​​​ Information regarding the settlement process of the earnest money payment (settlement method, settlement amount, date, etc.) is stored in the user data storage section 121.

[0067] When the control unit 130 of the server device 100 confirms the payment (deposit) of the application fee (step S113), it performs a process of updating the property data and user data in the storage unit 120 (step S114). For example, when the user has completed the payment of the application fee for the property, information indicating that is stored in the storage unit 120 as the status of the property data and user data. In this way, the application procedure for purchasing a real estate property using this system 1 is completed. Thus, according to this system 1, all the application procedures for purchasing a real estate property and a software license can be performed online (by the exchange of information between the server device 100 and the user terminal 200 via the network NW). After the above application procedure is completed, for example, as shown in FIG. 9, between the user terminal 200 and the server

[0068] device 100, by performing processes such as the electronic signature process of the contract (step S115), the request process for the payment of the purchase cost (balance) (step S116), the settlement process for the payment of the purchase cost (balance) (step S1 17), the payment confirmation process (step S118), and the issuance process of the electronic key (step S119) , the transaction procedure for the real estate property can be completed, and the real estate property can be transferred from the property owner (service provider) to the user. In addition, the user can use the software for which a license has been purchased together with the property. The electronic signature process of the contract (step S115) is performed when the user operates the user terminal 200

[0069] It can be executed by inputting or selecting the necessary items for the electronic signature of the contract . Information regarding the electronic signature of the contract is transmitted from the user terminal 200 to the server device 100 and stored in the storage unit 120 of the server device 100. In this case, for example, after the payment confirmation step S113 , the server device 100 may generate and output the electronic data of the contract in advance and transmit it to the user terminal 200 .

[0070] The process of requesting payment of the purchase fee (remaining amount) (step S116) is transmitted from the server device 100 to the user terminal 200 after receiving information regarding the electronic signature of the contract. The user terminal 200 receives the information transmitted from the server device 100 and displays a screen indicating the request for payment of the purchase fee (remaining amount) .

[0071] The payment of the purchase fee (remaining amount) (step S117) is executed when the user operates the user terminal 200 and instructs the payment of the purchase fee (remaining amount) in the same way as the payment of the above-mentioned application fee, for example . The server device 100 stores the information regarding the settlement in the user data storage unit 121

[0072] The server device 100 performs a payment confirmation process (step 118). After confirming that the payment has been made, it refers to the storage unit 120 to issue the information of the electronic key and transmits it to the user terminal 200 . The user can unlock the door of the real estate property by using the electronic key received by the user terminal 200, for example .

[0073] In the above embodiment, the user registers in advance with the server device 100 the information necessary for the settlement process (payment method and the information necessary for payment (credit card information, etc.))​​ By making a prior arrangement and obtaining prior consent, purchase requests based on the selection of the "Purchase Now" button, etc. can also complete the payment simultaneously. That is, it is possible to complete the purchase payment with one click. can be done.

[0074] In addition, in the above embodiment, even after the procedure for applying to purchase a real estate property using the present system 1 is completed, it may be configured to be cancellable. In that case, for example, a "Cancel" button that can be selected by the user is displayed on the screen of the user terminal 200 or the like. When the user selects the "Cancel" button, a cancellation request is sent from the user terminal 200 to the server device 100. The buying and selling processing unit 135 of the server device 100 executes the cancellation process of the purchase procedure.

[0075] In addition, in the above embodiment, the settlement of various fees is not limited to being processed in a lump sum, but may be processed in multiple installments.

[0076] Next, the process flow when the user (owner) who purchased the above property using the system 1 of the present embodiment stores (registers) the rentable period during which the property can be rented out to others in the server device 100 will be described.

[0077] First, when the user operates the user terminal 200 to access the server device 100 and performs an appropriate login operation, as the process of step S201 in FIG. 14, the rental processing unit 136 of the control unit 130 of the server device 100 generates and outputs a rentable period input screen while referring to the rental data management unit 134. The rental processing unit 136 of the server device 100 ​​​​The data of the property list is transmitted to the user terminal 200 via the communication unit 110. The user terminal 200 receives the data of the property list via the communication unit 210 and causes the display operation unit 220 to display (browse) it (step S202).

[0078] FIG. 15 is an example of a screen (rental period input screen) displayed on the display operation unit 220 of the user terminal 200. In the screen example of FIG. 15, when the user owns a plurality of properties, it is possible to select a property to be rented out. Also, for each property, it is possible to select a rental period ( schedule). In the screen example of FIG. 15, the dates are displayed in a calendar format, and the user can operate the user terminal 200 to select the days when the property can be rented out on a daily basis. Note that in the example of FIG. 15, the configuration is such that the user selects the days when the property can be rented out and the rental period is displayed, but it is not limited to this. The user (owner) may select the periods when the property cannot be rented out and the non-rentable periods are displayed. In that case, the days other than the "non-rentable days" selected by the user (owner) are determined as "rentable days", and the subsequent processing on the server side can be executed. Also, conditions such as the timing when the re-rent processing unit 136 generates or outputs a vacant room plan can be arbitrarily set on the server side or the user side. For example, the vacant room plan may be generated or output at a timing before a predetermined period of the rentable days. Specifically, Okay. Also, the selection of the available lending period (or unavailable lending period) can be 0 days, or just 1 day, or it is also possible to select multiple consecutive or intermittent days. In the screen example of Figure 15, a total of 23 days from August 9th to August 23rd and 3 days from August 29th to August 31st are selected as the available lending period, and the dates of the available lending period are surrounded by a frame display. Note that the input screen for the available lending period (or unavailable lending period) does not necessarily have to be in calendar format, and any display format can be adopted as long as the available lending period can be input or selected. Also, the unit for inputting or selecting the available lending period is not limited to "1 day", and it can also be in units of "hours", "minutes", "months", "years", etc. .

[0079] When the user operates the user terminal 200 to select the available lending period during which the property can be lent out, the user terminal 200 sends information about the available lending period to the server device 100 (step S203). The relending processing unit 136 of the server device 100 refers to the property data storage unit 122, etc. of the storage unit 120 of the server device 100, calculates the amount of consideration (income amount) to be paid to the user along with the lending of the property according to the available lending period, and sends information about the income amount to the user terminal 200 (step S204). The user terminal 200 displays the income amount received from the server device 100 on the display operation unit 220. The user can consider the available lending period while referring to the income amount displayed on the user terminal 200.

[0080] When the user operates the user terminal 200 to press the "Lend" button P9 in the screen example of When selected, the user terminal 200 sends a lending request (lending period registration request ) to the server device 100 (step S205). When the relending processing unit 136 of the server device 100 receives the lending request, it assigns a lending request ID to each lending request and stores information regarding the lending request in the relending data storage unit 1 23 (step S206). Thereby, information regarding the lending request for the property can be registered in the server device 100.

[0081] The relending processing unit 136 of the server device 100 performs settlement processing for payment of the above-mentioned revenue amount according to the lending period for the user, and transmits information regarding the settlement processing to the user terminal 200 (step S207). When the user terminal 200 receives the deposit information, it can be displayed on the display operation unit 220 of the user terminal 200, and the user can confirm that the deposit has been made (step S208). The method of settlement of payment from the service provider (server device 100) to the user (user terminal 200) is not particularly limited. For example, it may be performed using an electronic account of a financial institution or the like, or may be paid using points or the like that can be used within this service , or may be paid using electronic money.

[0082] Here, in this system 1, it may be possible to select a method of receiving (receiving) the revenue amount according to the lending period. For example, when the user operates the user terminal 200 and selects the "Deposit Method Selection" button P7 in the screen example of FIG. 15 , information indicating that the "Deposit Method Selection" button P7 has been selected is transmitted from the user terminal 200 to the server device 100, and the server device 100 outputs a deposit method selection screen and transmits it to the user terminal 200. The user terminal ​​​​​​The terminal 200 displays the deposit method selection screen on the display operation unit 220. The user selects or inputs a desired deposit method from options such as "Receive in Points", "Receive in Electronic Money", "Receive to a Financial Institution's Electronic Account", etc. displayed on the deposit method selection screen. The user terminal 200 transmits information about the desired deposit method to the server device 100. The server device 100 performs the deposit process using the desired deposit method. Also, the server device 100 can store information regarding the deposit method in the storage unit 120.

[0083] Moreover, in this system 1, the user may be able to specify the use (loan use) when lending the property to others. For example, when the user operates the user terminal 200 and selects the "Use Selection" button P8 in the screen example of FIG. 15, a loan use selection screen request is transmitted from the user terminal 200 to the server device 100. Based on this request, the server device 100 generates, outputs, and transmits to the user terminal 200 a loan use selection screen as shown in the screen example of FIG. 16. The user terminal 200 displays the loan use selection screen as shown in the screen example of FIG. 16 on the display operation unit 220. The user can select a use from multiple options such as "Accommodation Use", "Event Use", "Office Work Use", "No Use Restriction", etc. for each loanable period.

[0084] In this way, when a use selection function is provided, it is possible not to lend the property to a user for an unfavorable use. Also, by selecting a use with a high income amount, the income from re - renting can be increased. Note that such a use selection function may not be provided.

[0085] ​​​​​​ Also, in this system 1, the server device 100 (service provider) side may decide on the lending purpose. In this case, for example, based on various conditions such as the location conditions of the property, the season of the lending period, and the time conditions, etc., the lending purposes are appropriately combined according to the purpose of reducing the vacant

[0086] time or increasing the revenue amount, etc., and the lending purpose is determined.

[0087] Next, as shown in FIG. 17, the re-lending processing unit 136 of the server device 100 refers to the re-lending data storage unit 123 via the re-lending data management unit 134, generates a vacant room plan based on the lending period for each re-lending target property and the

[0088] above conditions such as the lending purpose, and outputs it (step S301). Here, in order to use this system 1, the guest uses a web browser of the user terminal 300 or an application provided by the service provider to access the server device 100. When the guest uses the service for the first time, the above-mentioned basic information of the user is input. If the user has already obtained a user account, for example, by inputting the ID and password and undergoing a predetermined The timing at which the server device 100 requests a guest to log in is not particularly limited, and it may request login during the process of using the service. For example, it may not require login until the stage of displaying the vacant room plan, and may require login at the stage of reserving / settling the re-rent. It may be done this way. For example, it is not necessary to log in until the stage of displaying the vacant room plan, and it may be required to log in at the stage of reserving / settling the re-rent. It may be done this way.

[0089] When the guest operates the user terminal 300 to access the server device 100, the information including the vacant room plan output in step S301 shown in FIG. 17 is transmitted from the server device 100 to the user terminal 300. When the user terminal 300 receives the information, it causes the display operation unit 220 to display (browse) the vacant room plan (step S302).

[0090] The guest operates the user terminal 300 to select the vacant room plan of the desired property. Also, the guest operates the user terminal 300 and, if necessary, further inputs or selects the usage period, purpose, and number of users, gender, etc., and sends a reservation application (reservation request) (step S303).

[0091] FIG. 18 is an example of a screen (lending period input screen) displayed on the display operation unit 220 of the user terminal 300. In the screen example of FIG. 18, the dates are displayed in a calendar format, and among the lending periods set by the user, the dates of the available periods are displayed so that they can be confirmed. In the screen example of FIG. 18, all of the lending periods are available periods, surrounded by a frame, and the date characters are displayed in bold (thick). The user can operate the user terminal 300 to select the date for which the reservation of the property is desired on a daily basis. When there are multiple properties available to the user, the user can select the property for which the reservation is desired. ​ It is possible. In the screen example of FIG. 18, when the user selects the date for which they wish to make a reservation, it is surrounded by a colored frame and displayed. In the screen example of FIG. 18, when the user selects the date for which they wish to make a reservation and selects the "Reservation Application" button P10 by a tap operation or the like, a display request for the reservation application screen is sent from the user terminal 300 to the server device 100. The server device 10 0 generates, outputs, and transmits to the user terminal 300 the information of the reservation request screen shown in, for example, FIG. 19 based on the request. When the user terminal 300 receives the information, it displays a reservation application screen like the screen example of FIG. 19 on the display operation unit 2 20. The user can input or select the "Name of the Property to be Used", "Usage Period", "Purpose", "Number of People", etc. when using the property . .

[0092] When the server device 100 receives information regarding a reservation application from the user terminal 300, it refers to the rental data storage unit via the rental data management unit 134 and checks whether the reservation is possible or not (step S304). For example, by comparing the information included in the reservation application with the lending conditions of the property, or by checking whether there is already another reservation by referring to the reservation information, it is determined whether the reservation is possible. The rental processing unit 13 6 of the server device 100 determines the reservation if the above confirmation result indicates that the reservation is possible, and updates the reservation information in the rental data storage unit 12 3. For example, by setting the status of the property for the period related to the reservation as reserved and stopping the reservation of the property for that period by others, the property can be secured . (Step S305) .

[0093] The user who made the above reservation application, at the time of or after the reservation application, for example, the user By operating the user terminal 300 or the like, settlement processing for payment of usage fees is performed, and information regarding the settlement processing is transmitted to the server device 100 (step S306). The service provider can confirm that the payment has been received based on the information received by the server device 100 (step S 307). The settlement method is not particularly limited. For example, it may be performed using an electronic account of a financial institution or the like, or it may be paid using points or the like that can be used within this service, or it may be paid using electronic money. Note that the server device 100 may transmit the above-mentioned vacant room plan information to other reservation sites or the like to recruit the use of the
