[0016] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of a key management device, a key management method, and a key management program according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these preferred embodiments.

[0017] [1. Overview] First, an outline of the present invention will be described.

[0018] It used to be common to outsource lock changes to a company, but in recent years, as the range of companies has increased, more and more companies are doing the lock changes themselves. The lock changes are carried out before moving in, but the property manager may personally manage the date and lock change status.

[0019] However, if each property manager manages the keys individually, the key replacement process becomes too personal, and there is a risk that employees other than the property manager will not be able to understand how the process is progressing or what the latest arrival status is. For this reason, it is necessary to eliminate the need for individual key management and optimize the key replacement process.

[0020] Therefore, in this embodiment, for the key exchange work that occurs when a tenant is decided, a list screen is created that includes a key exchange schedule that allows you to check the management of dates and key exchanges, taking into account the property and the area such as city, town, village, and address, making it possible to centrally manage the key exchange schedule, which had previously been complicated, and also providing a system that allows you to assign a person in charge by area so that the exchange work can be carried out efficiently based on the property address.

[0021] [2. Configuration] An example of the configuration of a key management device 100 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1 etc. Fig. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the key management device 100.

[0022] The key management device 100 is constructed based on a commercially available desktop personal computer. Note that the key management device 100 is not limited to being constructed based on a stationary information processing device such as a desktop personal computer, but may also be constructed based on a portable information processing device such as a commercially available notebook personal computer, PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), smartphone, or tablet personal computer.

[0023] The key management device 100 includes a control unit 102, a communication interface unit 104, a storage unit 106, and an input / output interface unit 108. The units included in the key management device 100 are connected to each other so as to be able to communicate with each other via any communication path.

[0024] The communication interface unit 104 communicatively connects the key management device 100 to a network 300 via a communication device such as a router and a wired or wireless communication line such as a dedicated line. The communication interface unit 104 has a function of communicating data with other devices via the communication line. Here, the network 300 has a function of connecting the key management device 100 and the server 200 so that they can communicate with each other, and is, for example, the Internet or a LAN (Local Area Network). Note that the data stored in the memory unit 106 may also be stored in the server 200, for example.

[0025] An input device 112 and an output device 114 are connected to the input / output interface unit 108. The output device 114 may be a monitor (including a home television), a speaker, or a printer. The input device 112 may be a keyboard, a mouse, a microphone, or a monitor that functions as a pointing device in cooperation with a mouse. In the following, the output device 114 may be referred to as the monitor 114, and the input device 112 may be referred to as the keyboard 112 or the mouse 112.

[0026] Various databases, tables, files, etc. are stored in the storage unit 106. Computer programs that work in conjunction with an OS (Operating System) to issue commands to a CPU (Central Processing Unit) to perform various processes are recorded in the storage unit 106. The storage unit 106 can be, for example, a memory device such as a RAM (Random Access Memory) or a ROM (Read Only Memory), a fixed disk device such as a hard disk, a flexible disk, an optical disk, etc.

[0027] The storage unit 106 includes a property master 106c. The property master 106c is a master that sets records that associate information about the property, the person in charge of key exchange requests, and information about the area. For example, the property is a multi-family dwelling such as a condominium or apartment, and the information about the property includes a property code for identifying the property and a room number for identifying the room. The person in charge of key exchange requests includes the exchange person, the key exchange requesting company, and the key dispatch person. For example, the area is an area such as a city, town, village, or address, and the information about the area includes a district code for identifying the area and the district name.

[0028] Furthermore, construction basic information data 106a is registered in the storage unit 106. For example, construction information, property information, scheduled construction completion date, construction completion date, etc. are associated and registered as construction basic information data 106a in the storage unit 106. Examples of construction information include a construction number, a construction name, etc.

[0029] Additionally, key exchange reception data 106b is registered in storage unit 106. For example, storage unit 106 stores, in association with each other, key exchange reception data 106b including reception number, reception date, reception staff, property-related information (property code, room number), desired key exchange date, staff responsible for key exchange request (key exchange staff, key exchange requesting company, key shipping staff), and key shipping date.

[0030] The control unit 102 is a CPU or the like that performs overall control of the key management device 100. The control unit 102 has an internal memory for storing control programs such as an OS, programs that define various processing procedures, required data, etc., and executes various information processing based on these stored programs. Functionally, the control unit 102 conceptually includes a construction information receiving unit 102a, a key exchange receiving unit 102b, and a schedule creating unit 102c.

[0031] The construction information receiving unit 102a registers the construction basic information data 106a in the storage unit 106. For example, the construction information receiving unit 102a displays a construction input screen and receives construction input information, thereby correlating information about the construction (construction number, construction name), information about the property (property code, room number), and the scheduled construction completion date, etc., and registers the associated information in the storage unit 106 as construction basic information data 106a. Furthermore, when the construction is completed, the construction information receiving unit 102a displays a screen showing the construction basic information data 106a registered in the storage unit 106 and receives construction completion input information, thereby correlating the information about the construction (construction number, construction name), information about the property (property code, room number), and the scheduled construction completion date, etc., and registers the construction completion date in the storage unit 106, thereby updating the construction basic information data 106a.

[0032] The key exchange acceptance unit 102b registers the key exchange acceptance data 106b in the storage unit 106. For example, when a new contractor's application for occupancy is confirmed, the key exchange acceptance unit 102b displays a key exchange management input screen and accepts the new key by entering the acceptance information, thereby registering the acceptance number, acceptance date, acceptance staff, property-related information (property code, room number), desired key exchange date, and the like in association with each other as key exchange acceptance data 106b in the storage unit 106. Furthermore, when the schedule creation unit 102c assigns staff members for the key exchange request (key exchange staff, key exchange requesting company, key shipping staff), the key exchange acceptance unit 102b registers the staff member for the key exchange request and the key shipping date in association with the acceptance number, acceptance date, acceptance staff, property-related information (property code, room number), desired key exchange date, and the like in the storage unit 106, thereby updating the key exchange acceptance data 106b. Furthermore, when the key exchange is carried out by the key exchange representative, the key exchange reception unit 102b displays a screen showing the key exchange reception data 106b registered in the storage unit 106, and by receiving the key exchange completion input information, it registers the exchange date in the storage unit 106 in association with the reception number, reception date, reception representative, information about the property (property code, room number), and desired key exchange date, and updates the key exchange reception data 106b.

[0033] The schedule creation unit 102c creates a key exchange schedule in which personnel responsible for key exchange requests (key exchange personnel, key exchange requesting company, and key shipping personnel) are assigned based on the construction basic information data 106a, the property master 106c, and the new policyholder's key exchange acceptance data 106b, and displays a list screen including the key exchange schedule on the output device 114 (monitor). Specifically, the schedule creation unit 102c displays the assigned personnel responsible for key exchange requests and the key shipping date on the list screen as the key exchange schedule. Here, the schedule creation unit 102c assigns personnel responsible for key exchange requests (key exchange personnel, key exchange requesting company, and key shipping personnel) in the key exchange schedule based on the acceptance number, acceptance date, desired key exchange date, information about the property (property code, room number) set in the new policyholder's key exchange acceptance data 106b, and information about the district (district code, district name) set in the construction basic information data 106a and the property master 106c.

[0034] [3. Specific examples of processing] A specific example of the processing (key management processing) of the key management device of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0035] 3.1 Key Management Process An example of processing by the key management device in this embodiment will now be described with reference to Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a flowchart showing an example of processing by the key management device 100 in this embodiment.

[0036] First, the construction information receiving unit 102a receives basic construction information (step S101). For example, the construction information receiving unit 102a displays a construction input screen and receives construction input information. At this time, it is assumed that the user uses the input device 112 to input information about the construction (construction number, construction name), information about the property (property code, room number), and the scheduled construction completion date into the screen. In this case, the construction information receiving unit 102a associates the information about the construction (construction number, construction name), information about the property (property code, room number), and the scheduled construction completion date into the storage unit 106 as construction basic information data 106a.

[0037] If the new contractor's application for occupancy is confirmed, the key exchange acceptance unit 102b accepts key exchange information (step S102). For example, the key exchange acceptance unit 102b displays a key exchange management input screen and accepts and inputs the new key. At this time, it is assumed that the user uses the input device 112 to enter the acceptance number, acceptance date, acceptance staff, property-related information (property code, room number), desired key exchange date, etc., into the screen. In this case, the key exchange acceptance unit 102b associates the acceptance number, acceptance date, acceptance staff, property-related information (property code, room number), desired key exchange date, etc., and registers them in the storage unit 106 as key exchange acceptance data 106b.

[0038] Next, the schedule creation unit 102c creates a key exchange schedule (step S103). The schedule creation unit 102c assigns key exchange request personnel (key exchange personnel, key exchange requesting company, and key shipping personnel) and determines a key shipping date based on the reception number, reception date, desired key exchange date, and property-related information (property code, room number) set in the new contractor's key exchange reception data 106b, as well as the area-related information (area code, area name) set in the basic construction information data 106a and the property master 106c. The schedule creation unit 102c then displays the assigned key exchange request personnel and key shipping date on a list screen as the key exchange schedule. At this time, the key exchange reception unit 102b registers the key exchange request personnel and key shipping date in the storage unit 106 in association with the reception number, reception date, reception personnel, property-related information (property code, room number), and desired key exchange date, and updates the key exchange reception data 106b.

[0039] Next, when the construction work is completed, the construction information receiving unit 102a receives information on the construction completion date (step S104). For example, the construction information receiving unit 102a displays a screen showing the construction basic information data 106a registered in the storage unit 106 and receives information on the construction completion input. At this time, it is assumed that the user inputs the construction completion date on the screen using the input device 112. In this case, the construction information receiving unit 102a registers the construction completion date in the storage unit 106 in association with information on the construction work (construction number, construction name), information on the property (property code, room number), and the scheduled construction completion date, and updates the construction basic information data 106a.

[0040] Next, when the key exchange is performed by the key exchange specialist, key exchange acceptance unit 102b accepts information about the key exchange date (step S105). For example, key exchange acceptance unit 102b displays a screen showing key exchange acceptance data 106b registered in storage unit 106 and accepts information about the completion of the key exchange. At this time, assume that the user uses input device 112 to input the key exchange date on the screen. In this case, key exchange acceptance unit 102b registers the key exchange date in storage unit 106 in association with the acceptance number, acceptance date, acceptance specialist, property-related information (property code, room number), and desired key exchange date, and updates key exchange acceptance data 106b.

[0041] [3.2 Specific examples of key management processes] Here, a specific example of the processing of the key management device in this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 3 to Fig. 11. Fig. 3 to Fig. 11 are diagrams showing an example of the processing of the key management device in this embodiment.

[0042] 3, in this embodiment, basic construction information data is registered. For example, the construction information receiving unit 102a displays a construction input screen and receives construction input information. Suppose a user uses the input device 112 to input a construction number (construction number) of "0000000002," a construction name of "XX Apartment, Restoration Work," a property code of "B000000001," a room number of "101," and a scheduled construction completion date of "2 / 2 / 2024." In this case, the construction information receiving unit 102a associates information about the construction (construction number "0000000002," construction name of "XX Apartment, Restoration Work"), information about the property (property code of "B000000001," a room number of "101"), and a scheduled construction completion date of "2 / 2 / 2024" into the storage unit 106 as construction basic information data 106a.

[0043] 3, in this embodiment, the construction information receiving unit 102a displays a details input screen, and the user inputs the burden content, cost information, and the like as details of the key order on the screen using the input device 112. In this case, for example, the construction information receiving unit 102a associates the construction number "0000000002," the construction name "restoration," and the contractor code "2000000003" as construction detail data and registers them in the storage unit 106.

[0044] 4, in this embodiment, when the new contractor's application for occupancy is confirmed, key exchange acceptance data 106b is registered. For example, suppose that key exchange acceptance unit 102b displays a key exchange management input screen and performs acceptance input for a new key, whereby the user uses input device 112 to enter into the screen an acceptance number (acceptance NO) of "0000000002," an acceptance date of "2024 / 2 / 2," an acceptance staff member of "A001," a property code of "B000000001," an apartment number of "101," and a desired key exchange date of "2024 / 2 / 5." In this case, for example, as shown in bold in Figure 4, the key exchange reception unit 102b associates the reception number "0000000002", reception date "2024 / 2 / 2", reception staff "A001", information about the property (property code "B000000001", room number "101"), and desired key exchange date "2024 / 2 / 5", etc., and registers them in the memory unit 106 as key exchange reception data 106b.

[0045] Next, in this embodiment, a key exchange schedule is created as shown in Fig. 5. First, the schedule creation unit 102c displays a list screen as shown in Fig. 5. For example, on the list screen, the schedule creation unit 102c displays, as extraction conditions, the reception number, reception date, desired key exchange date, information about the property set in the new policyholder's key exchange reception data 106b, and a check box that accepts the selection of whether or not to display properties in the same area.

[0046] 5, the list screen displays, for each contractor (reception number), a display area "Results" showing basic construction information data 106a (see, for example, the dotted box in FIG. 5), key exchange reception data 106b (see, for example, the dashed-dotted box in FIG. 5), and property master 106c (see, for example, the thick box in FIG. 5), as well as a display area "Extraction Conditions" for extracting conditions for the new contractor's key exchange schedule. For example, the display area "Extraction Conditions" displays the reception date "2 / 2 / 2024," the desired key exchange date "2 / 5 / 2024," and the property code "B000000001" set in the new contractor's key exchange reception data 106b.

[0047] 5, the display area "Extraction Conditions" displays the new policyholder's move-in date, "2024 / 2 / 20." For the new policyholder's move-in date, as shown in FIG. 6, the storage unit 106 includes a control master that associates the reception date category, the desired exchange date category, and the move-in date category. For example, if the reception date category is set to "0," the desired exchange date category and the move-in date category are set to values ​​of "3" and "18," respectively. In this case, in the example shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, when determining the new policyholder's move-in date, the date "2024 / 2 / 20," which is obtained by adding 18 days (equivalent to the value "18") to the reception date "2024 / 2 / 2," is determined, and the date "2024 / 2 / 20" is displayed in the display area "Extraction Conditions" as the new policyholder's move-in date.

[0048] Also in Figure 5, the display area "Extraction Conditions" displays a check item "Also display properties in the same area" that accepts the selection of whether or not to display properties in the same area, a check item "Display only properties with no assigned agent" that accepts the selection of whether or not to display only properties with no assigned agent, a check item "Display only properties with no assigned agent" that accepts the selection of whether or not to display only properties for which key exchange has not been performed, and a display button "Display" for displaying the key exchange schedule of the new policyholder.

[0049] 5, the display area "Extraction Conditions" displays the acceptance date "2 / 2 / 2024," the desired key exchange date "2 / 5 / 2024," and the property code "B000000001" set in the new policyholder's key exchange acceptance data 106b, as well as the new policyholder's move-in date "2 / 20 / 2024." The user then checks the checkboxes "Also display properties in the same area" and "Display only properties that have not yet been exchanged" and presses the display button "Display." That is, the user selects the checkbox "Also display properties in the same area" to display properties in the same area, and the checkbox "Display only properties that have not yet been exchanged" to display only properties for which a key exchange has not yet been performed.

[0050] At this time, if the schedule creation unit 102c receives a selection to display properties in the same area for which a key exchange has not yet been performed in the check boxes "Also display properties in the same area" and "Display only properties that have not been exchanged," the schedule creation unit 102c assigns a person in charge of the key exchange request in the key exchange schedule (key exchange person "A001," key exchange requesting company "0000000762," and key shipping person "A011") and determines the key shipping date to be "2 / 5 / 2024" based on the reception number "0000000002," reception date "2 / 2 / 2024," desired key exchange date "2 / 5 / 2024," and property information (property code "B000000001," room number "101") set in the new policyholder's key exchange reception data 106b, and information about the area (area code, area name) set in the basic construction information data 106a and the property master 106c. The schedule creation unit 102c then displays the assigned key exchange request personnel (key exchange personnel, key exchange requesting company, key shipment personnel) and key shipment date on a list screen as a key exchange schedule. At this time, the key exchange acceptance unit 102b registers the key exchange request personnel and key shipment date in the storage unit 106 in association with the acceptance number, acceptance date, acceptance personnel, property-related information (property code, room number), and desired key exchange date, and updates the key exchange acceptance data 106b.

[0051] 7 shows a case where the display area "Extraction Conditions" displays the reception date "2 / 2 / 2024," the desired key exchange date "2 / 5 / 2024," and the property code "B000000001" set in the new policyholder's key exchange reception data 106b, as well as the new policyholder's move-in date "2 / 20 / 2024," and the user uses input device 112 to check only the check box "Show only unexchanged items" and presses the display button "Display." In the example shown in FIG. 7, the new policyholder's reception number is "0000000014."

[0052] In the example at the top of Figure 7, only the new policyholder's property code "B000000001" is "NULL." In other words, in the example at the top of Figure 7, only the new policyholder's property code "B000000001" is "NULL," and the check box "Show properties in the same area" is not checked (check OFF).

[0053] At this time, the schedule creation unit 102c does not accept the selection to display properties in the same area in the check item "also display properties in the same area." In this case, the schedule creation unit 102c assigns the following personnel to handle key exchange requests in the key exchange schedule (key exchange personnel, key exchange requesting company, key shipment person) with the fewest number of assignments: replacement person "A001," key exchange requesting company "0000000762," and key shipment person "A011," based on the reception numbers "0000000011," "0000000012," "0000000013," and "0000000014" set in the key exchange reception data 106b of multiple subscribers including the new subscriber, the reception date, the desired key exchange date, and property information (property code "B000000001"), as well as the area information (area code, area name) set in the basic construction information data 106a and the property master 106c, and also determines the key shipment date to be "2024 / 2 / 5."

[0054] For example, the personnel with the fewest number of assignments are key exchange personnel "A001," key exchange requesting company "0000000011," and key dispatching person "A011," who are responsible for reception number "0000000011." In this case, as shown in bold in the example at the top of FIG. 7 , the schedule creation unit 102c assigns key exchange personnel "A001," key exchange requesting company "0000000762," and key dispatching person "A011," who are responsible for reception number "0000000011," and determines the key dispatch date as "2 / 5 / 2024" (sets the value of reception number 11). Then, the schedule creation unit 102c displays the assigned personnel for key exchange requests (key exchange personnel, key exchange requesting company, and key dispatching person) and the key dispatch date on the list screen as a key exchange schedule. At this time, the key exchange reception unit 102b registers the person in charge of the key exchange request and the key shipping date in the memory unit 106 in association with the reception number, reception date, reception staff, information about the property (property code, room number), and desired key exchange date, and updates the key exchange reception data 106b.

[0055] In the example at the bottom of Figure 7, the property code "B000000001" of multiple policyholders, including the new policyholder, is "NULL." In other words, in the example at the bottom of Figure 7, the property code "B000000001" of multiple policyholders, including the new policyholder, is "NULL," and the check box "Show properties in the same area" is not checked.

[0056] In this case, the schedule creation unit 102c assigns a person in charge of key exchange requests in the key exchange schedule based on the reception numbers "0000000011," "0000000012," "0000000013," and "0000000014" set in the key exchange reception data 106b for multiple contractors, including the new contractor, the reception date, the desired key exchange date, and property information (property code "B000000001"), as well as the area information (area code, area name) set in the basic construction information data 106a and the property master 106c. For example, as shown in bold in the example at the bottom of Figure 7, the schedule creation unit 102c assigns the key exchange request person "A001," the key exchange requesting company "0000000762," and the key shipping person "A011," which are set in the same area (area code "1," area name "XX Ward") in the property master 106c shown in Figure 5, as the person in charge of key exchange requests (setting the property master settings). At this time, the schedule creation unit 102c displays the assigned key exchange request personnel (key exchange personnel, key exchange requesting company, and key shipment personnel) as part of the key exchange schedule on the list screen, and also accepts information on the key shipment date. That is, the schedule creation unit 102c prompts the user to manually enter the key shipment date. When the user enters the key shipment date, the key exchange acceptance unit 102b registers the key exchange request personnel and key shipment date in the storage unit 106 in association with the acceptance number, acceptance date, acceptance personnel, property-related information (property code, room number), and desired key exchange date, and updates the key exchange acceptance data 106b.

[0057] 8 shows a case where the display area "Extraction Conditions" displays the acceptance date "2 / 2 / 2024," the desired key exchange date "2 / 5 / 2024," and the property code "B000000001" set in the new policyholder's key exchange acceptance data 106b, as well as the new policyholder's move-in date "2 / 20 / 2024." The user uses input device 112 to check the checkboxes "Also display properties in the same area" and "Display only properties that have not yet been exchanged," and then presses the display button "Display." In the example shown in FIG. 8, the new policyholder's acceptance number is "0000000014."

[0058] In the example at the top of Figure 8, only the new policyholder's property code "B000000001" is "NULL." In other words, in the example at the top of Figure 8, only the new policyholder's property code "B000000001" is "NULL," and the check box "Show properties in the same area" is checked (checked ON).

[0059] At this time, the schedule creation unit 102c accepts the selection of displaying properties in the same area in the check item "also display properties in the same area." In this case, the schedule creation unit 102c assigns the following personnel to the key exchange requesters in the key exchange schedule (key exchange personnel, key exchange requesting company, key shipment person) with the fewest number of assignments: replacement person "A001", key exchange requesting company "0000000762", and key shipment person "A011", based on the reception numbers "0000000007", "0000000008", "0000000009", and "0000000014" set in the key exchange reception data 106b of multiple subscribers including the new subscriber, the reception date, the desired key exchange date, and property information (property codes "A000000001", "B000000001"), as well as the area information (area code, area name) set in the basic construction information data 106a and the property master 106c. The schedule creation unit 102c also determines the key shipment date to be "2 / 5 / 2024".

[0060] For example, the personnel with the fewest assigned cases are key exchange personnel "A001," key exchange requesting company "00000000762," and key dispatcher "A011," who are responsible for reception number "0000000007." In this case, as shown in bold in the example at the top of FIG. 8 , the schedule creation unit 102c assigns reception number "0000000007" to the key exchange personnel "A001," key exchange requesting company "0000000762," and key dispatcher "A011," and determines the key dispatch date as "2 / 5 / 2024" (setting the value of reception number 7). The schedule creation unit 102c then displays the assigned key exchange request personnel (key exchange personnel, key exchange requesting company, and key dispatcher) and the key dispatch date on the list screen as the key exchange schedule. At this time, the key exchange reception unit 102b registers the person in charge of the key exchange request and the key shipping date in the memory unit 106 in association with the reception number, reception date, reception staff, information about the property (property code, room number), and desired key exchange date, and updates the key exchange reception data 106b.

[0061] In the example at the bottom of Figure 8, the property codes "A000000001" and "B000000001" of multiple policyholders, including the new policyholder, are "NULL." In other words, in the example at the bottom of Figure 8, the property codes "A000000001" and "B000000001" of multiple policyholders, including the new policyholder, are "NULL," and the check box "Show properties in the same area" is checked.

[0062] In this case, the schedule creation unit 102c assigns a person in charge of key exchange requests in the key exchange schedule based on the reception numbers "0000000007," "0000000008," "0000000009," and "0000000014" set in the key exchange reception data 106b of multiple contractors including the new contractor, the reception date, the desired key exchange date, and information about the property (property codes "A000000001," "B000000001"), as well as information about the area (area code, area name) set in the construction basic information data 106a and the property master 106c. For example, as shown in bold in the example at the bottom of FIG. 8 , the schedule creation unit 102c assigns the key exchange request personnel "A001," the key exchange requesting company "0000000762," and the key shipping personnel "A011" to the property code "A000000001" in the property master 106c shown in FIG. 5 as key exchange request personnel, and also assigns the key exchange request personnel "A002," the key exchange requesting company "0000000763," and the key shipping personnel "A012" to the property code "B000000001" in the property master 106c shown in FIG. 5 (setting the property master settings). At this time, the schedule creation unit 102c displays the assigned key exchange request personnel (key exchange personnel, key exchange requesting company, and key shipping personnel) as the key exchange schedule on the list screen and accepts information on the key shipping date. That is, the user is prompted to manually input the key shipping date. When the user inputs the key delivery date, the key exchange reception unit 102b registers the person in charge of the key exchange request and the key delivery date in the memory unit 106 in association with the reception number, reception date, reception staff, property-related information (property code, room number), and desired key exchange date, and updates the key exchange reception data 106b.

[0063] FIG. 9 shows a case where the display area "Extraction Conditions" displays the acceptance date "2 / 2 / 2024," the desired key exchange date "2 / 5 / 2024," and the property code "B000000001" set in the new policyholder's key exchange acceptance data 106b, as well as the new policyholder's move-in date "2 / 20 / 2024." The user then uses the input device 112 to check only the check box "Also display properties in the same area" and presses the display button "Display." In the example shown in FIG. 9, the acceptance number of the new policyholder is "0000000014." The example shown in FIG. 9 also makes it possible to check the predecessor's history.

[0064] In the example at the top of Figure 9, only the new policyholder's property code "B000000001" is "NULL." That is, in the example at the top of Figure 9, only the new policyholder's property code "B000000001" is "NULL," the check box "Show properties in the same area" is checked, and the predecessor's history is displayed.

[0065] At this time, the schedule creation unit 102c accepts the selection of displaying properties in the same area in the check item "also display properties in the same area." In this case, the schedule creation unit 102c assigns the following personnel to handle key exchange requests in the key exchange schedule (key exchange personnel, key exchange requesting company, key shipment person) with the fewest number of assignments: replacement person "A002," key exchange requesting company "0000000763," and key shipment person "A012," based on the reception numbers "0000000007," "0000000008," "0000000009," and "0000000014" set in the key exchange reception data 106b of multiple subscribers including the new subscriber, the reception date, the desired key exchange date, and property information (property codes "A000000001," "B000000001"), as well as the area information (area code, area name) set in the basic construction information data 106a and the property master 106c. The schedule creation unit 102c also determines the key shipment date to be "2024 / 2 / 6."

[0066] For example, the personnel with the fewest assigned cases are key exchange personnel "A002," key exchange requesting company "0000000008," and key dispatcher "A012," who are responsible for reception numbers "0000000008" and "0000000009." In this case, as shown in bold in the example at the top of FIG. 9 , the schedule creation unit 102c assigns key exchange personnel "A002," key exchange requesting company "00000000763," and key dispatcher "A012," who are responsible for reception numbers "0000000008" and "0000000009," and determines the key dispatch date as "2 / 6 / 2024" (sets the value of reception number 8). The schedule creation unit 102c then displays the assigned key exchange request personnel (key exchange personnel, key exchange requesting company, and key dispatcher) and the key dispatch date on the list screen as a key exchange schedule. At this time, the key exchange reception unit 102b registers the person in charge of the key exchange request and the key shipping date in the memory unit 106 in association with the reception number, reception date, reception staff, information about the property (property code, room number), and desired key exchange date, and updates the key exchange reception data 106b.

[0067] In the example at the bottom of Figure 9, the property codes "A000000001" and "B000000001" of multiple policyholders, including the new policyholder, are "NULL." That is, in the example at the bottom of Figure 9, the property codes "A000000001" and "B000000001" of multiple policyholders, including the new policyholder, are "NULL," the check box "Show properties in the same area" is checked, and the predecessor's history is displayed.

[0068] In this case, the schedule creation unit 102c assigns a person in charge of key exchange requests in the key exchange schedule based on the reception numbers "0000000007," "0000000008," "0000000009," and "0000000014" set in the key exchange reception data 106b of multiple contractors including the new contractor, the reception date, the desired key exchange date, and information about the property (property codes "A000000001," "B000000001"), as well as information about the area (area code, area name) set in the construction basic information data 106a and the property master 106c. For example, as shown in bold in the example at the bottom of FIG. 9 , the schedule creation unit 102c assigns the key exchange request personnel "A001," the key exchange requesting company "0000000762," and the key shipping personnel "A011" set to the property code "A000000001" in the property master 106c shown in FIG. 5 as key exchange request personnel, and also assigns the key exchange request personnel "A002," the key exchange requesting company "0000000763," and the key shipping personnel "A012" set to the property code "B000000001" in the property master 106c shown in FIG. 5 (setting the property master settings). At this time, the schedule creation unit 102c displays the assigned key exchange request personnel (key exchange personnel, key exchange requesting company, and key shipping personnel) as the key exchange schedule on the list screen and accepts information about the key shipping date. That is, the user is prompted to manually input the key shipping date. When the user inputs the key delivery date, the key exchange reception unit 102b registers the person in charge of the key exchange request and the key delivery date in the memory unit 106 in association with the reception number, reception date, reception staff, property-related information (property code, room number), and desired key exchange date, and updates the key exchange reception data 106b.

[0069] 10, in this embodiment, when construction work is completed, the construction completion date is registered. For example, the construction information receiving unit 102a displays a screen showing the construction basic information data 106a registered in the storage unit 106, and receives information for inputting construction completion. Suppose that the user uses the input device 112 to input a construction completion date of "2 / 3 / 2024" into the screen in association with the construction number (construction number) "0000000002," the construction name "XXX Apartment Restoration Work," the property code "B000000001," the room number "101," and the scheduled construction completion date of "2 / 2 / 2024." In this case, as shown in bold in Figure 10, the construction information receiving unit 102a associates the construction number "0000000002", the construction name "Restoration work on XX Apartment to its original condition", the property code "B000000001", the room number "101", and the scheduled construction completion date "2024 / 2 / 2", registers the construction completion date "2024 / 2 / 3" in the memory unit 106, and updates the construction basic information data 106a.

[0070] 10, in this embodiment, when a key exchange is performed by a key exchange specialist, the key exchange date is registered. For example, suppose that key exchange acceptance unit 102b displays a screen showing key exchange acceptance data 106b registered in storage unit 106 and accepts key exchange completion input information, whereby a user uses input device 112 to enter key exchange date "2 / 5 / 2024" into the screen in association with acceptance number (acceptance NO) "0000000002," acceptance date "2 / 2 / 2024," acceptance specialist "A001," property code "B000000001," room number "101," and desired key exchange date "2 / 5 / 2024." In this case, as shown in bold in Figure 10, the key exchange reception unit 102b associates the exchange date "2 / 5 / 2024" with the reception number "0000000002", the reception date "2 / 2 / 2024", the receptionist "A001", the property code "B000000001", the room number "101", and the desired key exchange date "2 / 5 / 2024", and registers the exchange date "2 / 5 / 2024" in the memory unit 106, thereby updating the key exchange reception data 106b.

[0071] Here, after the replacement date is registered, if the user uses the input device 112 to check only the check item "Display only items that have not been replaced," properties for which key replacement has not yet been performed are displayed on the list screen, as shown in Fig. 11. If the user uses the input device 112 to uncheck the check item "Display only items that have not been replaced," properties for which key replacement has been performed are also displayed on the list screen.

[0072] As described above, this embodiment allows for the creation of a list screen containing a key exchange schedule that allows users to check the date and key exchange management, etc., for the key exchange work that occurs when a tenant is decided, taking into account the property and the area such as city, town, village, and street address. This makes it possible to centrally manage the key exchange schedule, which had previously been complicated, and assigns a person in charge to each area so that the exchange work can be carried out efficiently based on the property address. Therefore, this embodiment eliminates the need for individual persons to manage keys, and optimizes the key exchange work.

[0073] [4. Contribution to the United Nations-led Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)] This embodiment can contribute to improving business efficiency and promoting appropriate management decisions by companies, thereby contributing to the achievement of SDGs Goals 8 and 9.

[0074] Furthermore, this embodiment can contribute to reducing waste and promoting paperless and electronic systems, thereby contributing to the achievement of SDGs Goals 12, 13, and 15.

[0075] Furthermore, this embodiment can contribute to strengthening control and governance, which can contribute to the achievement of Goal 16 of the SDGs.
