[0011] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings showing embodiments thereof. (Embodiment 1) FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the configuration of a property information management system S. In this embodiment, a property information management system S is described that extracts property information corresponding to acquired search criteria from a database (a property information DB141 described later) in which property information on rental real estate properties (properties) is registered, and generates a proposal list including the extracted property information. The property information management system S includes an information processing device 1, a system terminal 2, a provider terminal 3, and an introducer terminal 4. Each device is communicatively connected via a network N such as the Internet.

[0012] The information processing device 1 is an information processing device capable of various information processing and sending and receiving information, for example, a server computer. In this embodiment, the information processing device 1 is assumed to be a server computer, and for simplicity, will be referred to as server 1 below. In this embodiment, the server 1 provides a document information management service for parties involved in real estate property (property) transactions, which allows them to register property information about properties that are potential rental properties in a database and search for property information from the database. As will be described in detail later, the server 1 registers property information acquired from the system terminal 2 or the provider terminal 3 in the property information DB. The server 1 also acquires property search conditions from the introducer terminal 4, extracts property information that corresponds to the acquired search conditions, and outputs the extracted property information to the introducer terminal 4. Note that the processes executed by the server 1 A part or all of the processing may be executed by the system terminal 2, the provider terminal 3, or the introducer terminal 4. Furthermore, the server 1 may execute a part or all of the processing executed by the system terminal 2, the provider terminal 3, or the introducer terminal 4.

[0013] The system terminal 2 is a terminal device used by the manager who operates the property information management system S, and is, for example, a personal computer, smartphone, tablet terminal, etc. The system terminal 2 accepts property information input by the manager and outputs the input property information to the server 1. In this embodiment, the manager corresponds to a third party (a third party is based on the owner or manager). The manager inputs property information, for example, contained in an email received from the property owner or manager (provider) or in sales materials obtained, into the system terminal 2 and sends it to the server 1.

[0014] The provider terminal 3 is a terminal device used by the owner or manager (provider) of the property, and is, for example, a personal computer, smartphone, tablet terminal, etc. The provider terminal 3 accepts input of property information by the provider and outputs the input property information to the server 1. The provider inputs property information of the property that he or she owns or manages into the provider terminal 3 and transmits it to the server 1.

[0015] The introducer terminal 4 is a terminal used by an introducer who introduces a property to a customer (property tenant) who wishes to rent the property, and is, for example, a personal computer, smartphone, tablet terminal, etc. The introducer terminal 4 accepts input of search conditions by the introducer for extracting property information desired by the customer, and outputs the input search conditions to the server 1. The introducer terminal 4 also acquires a proposal list including at least a portion of the extracted property information from the server 1, and displays the acquired proposal list. In this embodiment, the introducer is, for example, a real estate rental agent, broker, etc.

[0016] 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the server 1. The server 1 includes a control unit 11, a main memory unit 12, a communication unit 13, and an auxiliary memory unit .

[0017] The control unit 11 has one or more arithmetic processing devices such as a central processing unit (CPU), a microprocessing unit (MPU), a graphics processing unit (GPU), etc., and performs various information processing, control processing, etc. by reading and executing a program P1 stored in the auxiliary storage unit 14. The main storage unit 12 includes a static random access memory (SRAM), a digital still camera (DST), a It is a temporary storage area such as a RAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) and temporarily stores data required for the control unit 11 to execute arithmetic processing. The communication unit 13 is a communication module for performing processing related to communication, and transmits and receives information to and from the outside.

[0018] The auxiliary storage unit 14 is a non-volatile storage area such as a large-capacity memory or a hard disk, and stores a program P1 (program product) and other data required for the control unit 11 to execute processing. The auxiliary storage unit 14 also stores a property information DB 141, an introducer DB 142, and a proposal list DB 143. The property information DB 141 is a database that stores property information acquired from the system terminal 2 or the provider terminal 3. The introducer DB 142 is a database that stores unique information of introducers. The proposal list DB 143 is a database that stores information related to proposal lists that include property information selected by introducers from property information extracted based on search conditions.

[0019] The auxiliary storage unit 14 may be an external storage device connected to the server 1. The server 1 may be a multi-computer consisting of multiple computers, or may be a virtual machine virtually constructed by software.

[0020] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the server 1 is not limited to the above configuration, and may include, for example, an input unit that accepts operation input, a display unit that displays images, etc. Furthermore, the server 1 may be provided with a reading unit that reads a portable storage medium 1a such as a CD (Compact Disk)-ROM or a DVD (Digital Versatile Disc)-ROM, and may read and execute the program P1 from the portable storage medium 1a.

[0021] FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a record layout of the property information DB 141. The property information DB 141 includes a property ID column, a provider ID column, a provider name column, an identification information column, a name column, an address column, an area column, a floor column, and a rent column. The property ID column stores a property ID for identifying each property. The provider ID column stores a provider ID for identifying the provider of the property. The provider name column stores a provider name corresponding to the provider ID. The identification information column stores the type of method by which the property information was acquired. If the property information is information acquired from the provider terminal 3, "primary" is stored in the identification information column. If the property information is information acquired from the system terminal 2, "secondary" is stored in the identification information column. In other words, the property information acquired by the server 1 from the provider terminal 3 is primary information, and the property information acquired from the system terminal 2 is secondary information. The name column, address column, size column, floor column, and rent column each store the property name, property address, property size (floor area), the floor on which the property is located, and the rent for the property, in association with the property ID. The information stored in each column of the property information DB 141 corresponds to an item of property information. The property information DB may also include a date column that stores the date on which the server 1 acquired the property information.

[0022] 4 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a record layout of the introducer DB 142. The introducer DB 142 includes an introducer ID column, an introducer name column, and an introducer mark column. The introducer ID column stores an introducer ID for identifying an introducer. The introducer name column stores an introducer name corresponding to the introducer ID. The introducer mark column stores a logo mark of the introducer.

[0023] FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a record layout of the proposal list DB143. The proposal list DB143 includes a creation date column, an introducer ID column, a proposal list ID column, a property ID column, and a provider ID column. The creation date column stores the creation date of the proposal list. The proposal list ID column stores a proposal list ID for identifying the proposal list. The introducer ID column stores the introducer ID of the introducer who entered search conditions and selected property information to be included in the proposal list. The property ID column stores the property ID of the property whose property information is included in the proposal list. Note that in this embodiment, the proposal list can include multiple properties, so multiple property IDs can be stored in the property ID column. The provider ID column stores the provider ID of the property provider corresponding to the property ID stored in the property ID column.

[0024] FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a property information input screen. The property information input screen is displayed on the system terminal 2 or the provider terminal 3. The system terminal 2 or the provider terminal 3 accepts input of the provider ID, provider name, property name, property address, property size, property floor number, and property rent on the property information input screen. The property information input screen also displays a function button (send button) for instructing transmission of property information to the server 1. When the send button is selected, the system terminal 2 or the provider terminal 3 transmits (outputs) the input property information to the server 1. When the property information input screen is displayed on the system terminal 2, the provider ID does not need to be entered; in this case, the server 1 assigns a provider ID corresponding to the provider name. When the property information input screen is displayed on the provider terminal 3, the provider ID and provider name may be automatically entered using information previously stored in the provider terminal 3.

[0025] FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a property search screen on the introducer terminal 4. On the property search screen, the introducer terminal 4 extracts property information of a property desired by a customer from the property information DB 141. The introducer terminal 4 accepts input of search conditions for searching for a property. The search conditions input on the property search screen include, for example, the address area of ​​the property, the size of the property, the floor number of the property, and the rent. For the address area, the customer inputs the name of the city, town, or ward where the property desired is located, or the area name determined based on the nearest station. For the size of the property, the floor number of the property, and the rent, the customer inputs the range (lower and upper limits) of each condition of the property desired. In addition, the introducer terminal 4 accepts selection of narrowing down the search by identification information on the property search screen. If "All property information" is selected on the property search screen, all property information that matches the above-mentioned search conditions is extracted. If "Primary information only" is selected, only property information that matches the above-mentioned search conditions and has "Primary" stored in the identification information column of the property information DB 141 is extracted. In addition, the property search screen displays a function button (search button) that instructs a search for property information. If the search button is selected, the introducer terminal 4 transmits (outputs) the input search conditions to the server 1. The server 1 receives the search conditions and extracts property information corresponding to the received search conditions from the property information DB 141.

[0026] The server 1 extracts property information corresponding to the search criteria, where the address is included in the address area related to the search criteria and the size, floor number, and rent are within the range of the property size, floor number, and rent of the search criteria, respectively, and sends (outputs) the extracted property information to the introducer terminal 4.

[0027] FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a search result screen on the introducer terminal 4. On the search result screen, the introducer terminal 4 displays property information extracted from the property information DB 141 and output (received) from the server 1. Each property information displays identification information indicating whether the property information output from the server 1 is primary information acquired from the provider terminal 3 or secondary information acquired from the system terminal 2. When primary information and secondary information about the same property are stored in the property information DB 141, the server 1 outputs only the property information that is the primary information of the property to the introducer terminal 4. The introducer terminal 4 also displays a check box for each property information item to include it in a proposal list. When a check box is checked, the corresponding property information is included in the proposal list. The introducer terminal 4 also displays a function button (proposal list button) on the search result screen for instructing the creation of a proposal list. When the proposal list button is selected, the introducer terminal 4 transmits (outputs) to the server 1 the property ID of the property information item whose check box is checked and the introducer ID of the introducer stored in advance. The server 1 receives the property ID and introducer ID and creates a proposal list including property information of the received property ID.

[0028] FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a proposal list screen on the introducer terminal 4. On the proposal list screen, the introducer terminal 4 displays the proposal list transmitted (output) by the server 1. The proposal list describes property information of properties selected (checked) on the search result screen. That is, the proposal list includes at least a portion of the property information extracted in accordance with the search criteria. Note that, among the property information, identification information does not need to be described in the proposal list. In addition, the proposal list includes introducer-specific information (introducer name and introducer logo mark) identified by referring to the introducer DB 142 based on the introducer ID transmitted from the introducer terminal 4. Furthermore, the proposal list includes a proposal list ID assigned to identify the proposal list. The proposal list is displayed on the introducer terminal 4 and presented to the introducer and the customer. Note that the proposal list may be printed or presented to the introducer and the customer on paper. In addition, although the control unit 11 of the server 1 creates the proposal list in this embodiment, the proposal list may also be created by the introducer terminal 4. In this case, the introducer terminal 4 transmits the created proposal list to the server 1.

[0029] 10 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a notification screen on the provider terminal 3. When the server 1 creates a proposal list and registers information of the created proposal list in the proposal list DB 143, A notification is sent (output) to the provider terminal 3 of the provider of the property included in the registered proposal list. The provider terminal 3 that receives (acquires) the notification displays on a notification screen the date and time the notification was received, the proposal list ID of the registered proposal list, and the property name of the property included in the proposal list. The notification screen also displays a function button (proposal list display button) that instructs the provider terminal 3 to display the proposal list screen. When the proposal list button is selected, the provider terminal 3 can acquire the proposal list from the server 1. In other words, the proposal list button is displayed as access information that enables the proposal list to be acquired.

[0030] FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a proposal list screen on the provider terminal 3. When the proposal list button is selected on the notification screen, the provider terminal 3 transmits (outputs) the proposal list ID of the requested proposal list to the server 1. The server 1, which has received (acquired) the proposal list request, identifies the proposal list by referring to the proposal list DB 143 based on the proposal list ID, and transmits (outputs) the identified proposal list to the provider terminal 3. At this time, the server 1 excludes the provider ID and provider name (provider information) from the property information included in the proposal list and outputs it to the provider terminal 3. In other words, the server 1 excludes the provider information from other property information included in the proposal list including the property information acquired from the provider terminal 3, and outputs it to the provider terminal 3. The provider terminal 3 displays the proposal list received (acquired) from the server 1, including the other property information from which the provider information has been excluded. In addition, the proposal list screen displays a function button (message button) for instructing the display of a message sending screen, which will be described later. When the message button is selected, the provider terminal 3 displays the message sending screen.

[0031] FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a message sending screen on the provider terminal 3. On the message screen, the provider terminal 3 displays the proposal list ID of the proposal list displayed on the provider terminal 3, the introducer ID and introducer name of the introducer on the introducer terminal 4 who sent an instruction to create the proposal list to the server 1, and a message input field. For example, supplementary information or selling points of the provider's property are entered in the message input field. In addition, the message sending screen displays a function button (send button) for instructing the sending of a message. When the send button is selected, the provider terminal 3 sends (outputs) the entered message to the server 1. The server 1, which receives (acquires) the message, sends (outputs) the acquired message to the introducer terminal 4.

[0032] 13 is a flowchart showing an example of a property information registration process. The control unit 11 of the server 1 receives (acquires) property information from the system terminal 2 or the provider terminal 3 (S1). The control unit 11 stores the acquired property information in the property information DB 141 (S2). The control unit 11 determines whether the acquired property information is information received from the provider terminal 3 (S3). If the property information is information acquired from the provider terminal 3 (S3: YES), the control unit 11 stores "primary" in the identification information column of the property information DB 141 (S4), and ends the process. If the property information is not information acquired from the provider terminal 3 (S3: NO), that is, if the property information is information acquired from the system terminal 2, the control unit 11 stores "secondary" in the identification information column of the property information DB 141 (S5), and ends the process.

[0033] 14 is a flowchart showing an example of a proposal list creation process. The introducer terminal 4 accepts input of search conditions (S11). The introducer terminal 4 transmits the input search conditions to the server 1 (S12).

[0034] The control unit 11 of the server 1 receives (acquires) search conditions from the introducer terminal 4 (S13). The control unit 11 refers to the property information DB 141 and extracts property information that corresponds to the search conditions (S14). If the extracted property information includes primary information and secondary information related to the same property, the control unit 11 excludes the property information that is secondary information of the property from the extracted property information (S15). The control unit 11 transmits (outputs) the extracted property information to the introducer terminal 4 (S16). ).

[0035] The introducer terminal 4 receives (acquires) the extracted property information from the server 1 (S17). The introducer terminal 4 displays the received property information (S18). The introducer terminal 4 accepts the selection of property information to be included in the proposal list (S19). The introducer terminal 4 transmits (outputs) the property ID of the selected property information and the stored introducer ID to the server 1 (S20).

[0036] The control unit 11 of the server 1 receives (acquires) the property ID and introducer ID of the selected property information from the introducer terminal 4 (S21). Based on the property ID, the control unit 11 refers to the property information DB 141 and creates a proposal list in which the selected property information is described (S22). Based on the received introducer ID, the control unit 11 refers to the introducer DB 142 and adds introducer-specific information to the proposal list (S23). In addition, the control unit 11 assigns a proposal list ID to the proposal list (S24) and adds the assigned proposal list ID to the proposal list (S25). The control unit 11 stores the proposal list in the proposal list DB 143 (S26). The control unit 11 transmits (outputs) the proposal list to the introducer terminal 4 (S27) and ends the processing.

[0037] The introducer terminal 4 receives (acquires) the proposal list from the server 1 (S28). The introducer terminal 4 displays the acquired proposal list (S29) and ends the process.

[0038] Fig. 15 is a flowchart showing an example of the notification process. For example, when the proposal list is stored in the proposal list DB 143 in S25 shown in Fig. 14, the control unit 11 of the server 1 starts the following process. The control unit 11 of the server 1 transmits (outputs) to the provider terminal 3 a notification that a proposal list including the property information acquired from the provider terminal 3 has been created (S31).

[0039] The provider terminal 3 receives (acquires) a notification from the server 1 that a proposal list has been created (S32). The provider terminal 3 displays that the notification has been acquired (S33). The provider terminal 3 accepts input of an instruction to display the proposal list (S34). The provider terminal 3 transmits (outputs) a request for the proposal list identified by the proposal list ID to the server 1 (S35).

[0040] The control unit 11 of the server 1 receives (acquires) a request for a proposal list from the provider terminal 3 (S36). The control unit 11 reads out the proposal list from the proposal list DB 143 based on the proposal list ID of the requested proposal list (S37). The control unit 11 excludes the provider information from the read proposal list (S38), and transmits (outputs) the proposal list from which the provider information has been excluded to the provider terminal 3 (S39).

[0041] The provider terminal 3 receives (acquires) the proposal list from which the provider information has been removed from the server 1 (S40). The provider terminal 3 displays the received proposal list (S41). The provider terminal 3 displays a message sending screen (S42). The provider terminal 3 accepts input of a message (S43). The provider terminal 3 transmits (outputs) the input message to the server 1 (S44), and ends the processing.

[0042] The control unit 11 of the server 1 receives (acquires) the message from the provider terminal 3 (S45). The control unit 11 transmits (outputs) the acquired message to the introducer terminal 4 (S46), and ends the process.

[0043] According to the above configuration and processing, the owner or manager of the property can provide the property information to the introducer appropriately. Specifically, the property information (primary information) sent by the property provider is registered in the property information DB 141, so the property information registered in the property information DB 141 can be kept up to date. In addition, the introducer can easily find the property in the search results. Because it is possible to check whether the information is primary information, it is possible to select the latest primary information and include it in the proposal list. In addition, the provider can view the proposal list containing property information for the provider's property, check property information for competing properties, and output a message to the introducer explaining the selling points of their property compared to the competing properties. In this embodiment, the property is an office for rental use, a commercial real estate such as a store, etc., but is not limited to this. The property may also be a house, condominium, or apartment for rental use, or a building, office, commercial real estate, house, condominium, or apartment for sale.

[0044] (Embodiment 2) When the server 1 according to the second embodiment outputs a proposal list to the provider terminal 3, it adds to the proposal list the results of a comparison of each item between the property information acquired from the provider terminal 3 and other property information included in the proposal list, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of the property information acquired from the provider terminal 3 compared to the other property information. The following describes the differences between the second embodiment and the first embodiment. Except for the configuration described below, the other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment. Therefore, the components that are the same as those of the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals as those of the first embodiment, and descriptions of those components will be omitted.

[0045] FIG. 16 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a proposal list screen on the provider terminal 3 according to the second embodiment. When transmitting (outputting) a proposal list to the provider terminal 3, the server 1 according to the second embodiment outputs a comparison result between each item of other property information included in the proposal list including property information acquired from the provider terminal 3 and each item of the property information acquired from the provider terminal 3, and includes the comparison result in the proposal list. In this embodiment, the items for which the comparison result is output are size and rent. In this embodiment, the provider's property information (in this example, the property information with property ID: P001) is displayed to indicate that it is the provider's own property information. If the size of the other property information is larger than the size of the property information acquired from the provider terminal 3 (the provider's own property information), the server 1 adds an up arrow as the comparison result, and if it is smaller, adds a down arrow. Furthermore, if the number of floors of the other property information is higher than the number of floors of the property information acquired from the provider terminal 3, the server 1 adds an up arrow as the comparison result, and if it is lower, adds a down arrow. Furthermore, if the rent of the other property information is higher than the rent of the property information acquired from the provider terminal 3, the server 1 adds an up arrow as a comparison result, and if it is lower, adds a down arrow.

[0046] The server 1 also identifies the advantages and disadvantages of the property information acquired from the provider terminal 3 relative to other property information. Specifically, the server 1 determines the items in which the property information acquired from the provider terminal 3 is superior to the average value of the other property information included in the proposal list as advantages, and determines the items in which the property information acquired from the provider terminal 3 is inferior as disadvantages. In this embodiment, the area of ​​the property information acquired from the provider terminal 3 exceeds the average area of ​​the other property information, so the server 1 identifies the area item as an advantages. Furthermore, the rent of the property information acquired from the provider terminal 3 is higher than the average rent of the other property information, so the server 1 identifies the rent item as an disadvantage. The server 1 adds the advantages and disadvantages of the property information acquired from the provider terminal 3 to the proposal list output to the provider terminal 3. Note that an advantages point may be the best item among the property information included in the proposal list, and an disadvantage point may be the worst item.

[0047] Fig. 17 is a flowchart showing an example of notification processing according to the second embodiment. Steps S51 to S58 are the same as steps S31 to S38 shown in Fig. 15. The control unit 11 of the information processing device adds the comparison results for each item of the property information acquired from the provider terminal 3 to each item of other property information (S59). The control unit 11 adds the advantages and disadvantages of the property information acquired from the provider terminal 3 to the proposal list (S60). Steps S61 to S68 are the same as steps S39 to S46 shown in Fig. 15.

[0048] (Embodiment 3) The server 1 according to the third embodiment adds to the proposal list property information that does not correspond to the search criteria acquired from the introducer terminal 4 and that has a high degree of similarity to property information included in the proposal list that corresponds to the search criteria. The following describes the differences between the third embodiment and the first embodiment. Except for the configuration described below, the other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment. Therefore, the components that are the same as those of the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals as those of the first embodiment, and the description of those components will be omitted.

[0049] FIG. 18 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a record layout of the property information DB 141 according to the third embodiment. The property information DB 141 according to the third embodiment includes an interior image column, a division possibility column, a parking lot column, a number of elevators column, and a layout drawing column. The interior image column stores interior images of the property, for example, in file format. The division possibility column stores whether the property can be divided into compartments when renting out the property. The parking lot column stores the number of parking lots owned by the building in which the property is located. The number of elevators column stores the number of elevators owned by the building in which the property is located. The layout drawing column stores, for example, in file format, a drawing showing the layout of the property. Note that the interior image column, the division possibility column, the parking lot column, the number of elevators column, and the layout drawing column store information entered in the system terminal 2 or the provider terminal 3, but information for all columns does not need to be entered. Null values ​​are stored in columns into which no information has been entered. In this embodiment, the property information includes information (values) stored in each column as items, and the number of columns in which values ​​are stored is the number of items included in the property information. In other words, the property information does not include information in columns with null values.

[0050] FIG. 19 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a proposal list screen on an introducer terminal according to the third embodiment. The server 1 according to the third embodiment adds property information selected on the search result screen to property information not displayed on the search result screen that has a high similarity (a predetermined value or more) to the selected property information and includes a predetermined number of items or more in the proposal list. Specifically, the server 1 calculates the similarity of each property information item that does not match the search criteria (not displayed on the search result screen) to each property information item selected on the search result screen (already included in the proposal list). The server 1 calculates the similarity between property information items based on, for example, the distance between the properties based on their addresses, the difference in the size of the properties, the difference in the number of floors, and the difference in the rent. The similarity increases as the distance between the properties decreases, or the difference in the size of the properties, the difference in the number of floors, or the difference in the rent. The server 1 may calculate, for example, the cosine similarity or Euclidean distance between property information items and use these values ​​as the similarity between property information items. The server 1 refers to the property information DB 141 to identify property information that does not match the search criteria and has an average similarity to each property information item already included in the proposal list that is equal to or greater than a predetermined value. The server 1 adds to the proposal list any property information among the identified property information items that includes a predetermined number of items (e.g., 10). In this example, the added property information is listed in the proposal list as additional property information.

[0051] FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing an example of a proposal list creation process according to the third embodiment. Steps S71 to S82 are the same as steps S11 to S22 shown in FIG. 14. The control unit 11 calculates the similarity of each piece of property information registered in the property information DB 141 that is not displayed on the search result screen with respect to each piece of property information included in the proposal list (S83). The control unit 11 adds to the proposal list, among the property information whose total similarity with each piece of property information included in the proposal list is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the property information that includes a predetermined number of items (S84). Steps S85 to S91 are the same as steps S23 to S29 shown in FIG. 14. When property information is added to the proposal list in S83, a notification may be sent to the provider terminal 3 of the provider of the added property information, as in the first embodiment.

[0052] (Embodiment 4) The server 1 according to the fourth embodiment determines the priority of each piece of property information based on the items included in the property information. The server 1 changes the display method of the property information included in the proposal list according to the determined priority. The following describes the differences between the fourth embodiment and the first embodiment. Except for the configuration described below, the other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment. Therefore, the components that are the same as those of the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals as those of the first embodiment, and the description of those components will be omitted.

[0053] 21 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of the server 1 according to the embodiment 4. The auxiliary storage unit 14 of the server 1 according to the embodiment 4 stores a priority DB 144. The priority DB 144 is a database that stores priorities assigned to property information according to whether or not each item of the property information stored in the property information DB 141 is registered.

[0054] FIG. 22 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a record layout of the property information DB 141 according to the fourth embodiment. The property information DB 141 according to the fourth embodiment includes an interior image column, a division possibility column, a parking lot column, a number of elevators column, and a layout drawing column. The interior image column stores interior images of the property, for example, in file format. The division possibility column stores whether the property can be divided into compartments when renting out the property. The parking lot column stores the number of parking lots owned by the building in which the property is located. The number of elevators column stores the number of elevators owned by the building in which the property is located. The layout drawing column stores a drawing showing the layout of the property, for example, in file format. Note that the interior image column, the division possibility column, the parking lot column, the number of elevators column, and the layout drawing column store information entered in the system terminal 2 or the provider terminal 3, but information for all columns does not need to be entered. Null values ​​are stored in columns into which no information has been entered. In this embodiment, the property information includes information stored in each column as an item. That is, the property information does not include information in columns that have null values.

[0055] FIG. 23 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a record layout of the priority DB 144. The priority DB 144 includes an item column and a priority column. The item column stores items included in the property information, which are assigned a priority when included in the property information. The priority column stores a priority assigned to the property information when the item is included in the property information. The priority here is set taking into account business practices and industry issues in the commercial real estate market. For example, a high priority is set for interior images because occupied offices cannot be viewed, divisibility allows introducers to include even large properties as proposal candidates because they are divisible, and layout drawings help introducers visualize the layout of office and conference room spaces, making it easier for introducers to make proposals.

[0056] FIG. 24 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a proposal list screen on the introducer terminal 4 according to the fourth embodiment. When the server 1 receives a proposal list request from the introducer terminal 4, it assigns a priority to the property information selected on the search result screen of the introducer terminal 4 by referring to the property information DB 141 and the priority DB 144. Note that the priority assigned to each item based on the priority DB 144 corresponds to a weight. At this time, for example, if a value is stored in the interior image column of the property information in the property information DB 141 (the property information includes the interior image item), the server 1 assigns a priority of 4 to the property information. Similarly, the server 1 assigns a priority by referring to the priority DB 144 according to the column in which the value of the property information is stored. The server 1 regards the cumulative value of the assigned priorities as the priority of the property information and creates a proposal list including the property information so that the property information is displayed in descending order of priority. In this example, the property information listed in the proposal list is displayed with a priority associated therewith. Note that in the proposal list, the property information may be displayed in a different color or highlighted according to its priority.

[0057] FIG. 25 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a proposal list creation process according to the fourth embodiment. Steps S101 to S111 are the same as steps S11 to S21 shown in Fig. 14. The control unit 11 of the server 1 refers to the property information DB 141 and the priority DB 144 based on the property ID, and assigns a priority to the selected property information (S112). The control unit 11 creates a proposal list in which the selected property information is listed by referring to the property information DB 141 based on the property ID, so that the property information is displayed in order of priority (S113). Steps S114 to S120 are the same as steps S23 to S29 shown in Fig. 14.
