[0023] First, matters that are the premise of this embodiment will be described. The property information presentation device and the program according to this embodiment are assumed to be used when a user searches for real estate such as a residence or a store. However, the properties to be presented by the property information presentation device and the program according to this embodiment are not limited to real estate, which is land and its fixtures (buildings), and may include movable property that is not attached to the land. In the following description, as an example, the description will be given when the property information presentation device and the program according to this embodiment handle real estate such as a residence or a store.

[0024] [Property Request] First, with reference to Figures 1 to 3, we will explain the overview of the property information presentation system 1 and the property request using the property information presentation system 1.

[0025] [Property Information Display System 1] Figure 1 shows an example of the device configuration of a property information presentation system 1 according to one embodiment. First, as an example, the property information presentation system 1 has a function to suggest properties that have a relatively high degree of matching to the user's desired conditions to a user looking for a residential property. In the following description, the degree of matching between the property's condition and the user's desired conditions will also be referred to as the "condition match degree" or simply the "match degree".

[0026] The property information presentation system 1 of this embodiment provides a property suggestion function through two types of suggestion methods: a suggestion method performed automatically by a computer program, and a suggestion method performed through interaction with a person in charge at a real estate agency or the like.

[0027] In the following explanation, the individual or organization that introduces a property, such as a real estate agent, will also be referred to as the "Client CL." In addition to those who introduce the property, the Client CL may also include those who add some kind of value to the property, such as renovation companies that remodel the property or construction companies that build a building on the land.

[0028] Furthermore, in the following explanation, individuals or organizations that are introduced to properties, such as users searching for properties, will also be referred to as "Customer CS." Since Customer CS are users of the property information presentation system 1, Customer CS may sometimes be simply referred to as "User."

[0029] In the following explanation, the proposal method conducted through communication with a representative is described assuming that the client CL, an employee of a real estate agency, is the person in charge of communication with the customer CS, but this is not limited to this. In the proposal method conducted through communication with a representative, the person in charge of the business that provides the property information presentation system 1, or the person in charge of a business that partners with said business, may also be the person in charge of communication with the customer CS. The person in charge of the business or the person in charge of a partner business is also called an agent. In other words, in the proposal method conducted through communication between the customer CS and a representative, the "representative" includes employees of a real estate agency (client CL) and agents, etc.

[0030] The property information presentation system 1 has a function to propose property information sessions (also called viewings or open houses) to users looking for residential properties, allowing them to visit the properties and directly inspect them. The process by which Client CL proposes a property information session to Customer CS is also called "visit invitation."

[0031] The property information display system 1 includes a property information display device 10, a client terminal 20, and a customer terminal 30. The client terminal 20 is a terminal device operated by a client CL. The customer terminal 30 is a terminal device operated by a customer CS.

[0032] The property information display device 10 and the client terminal 20 are connected via network N1. The property information display device 10 and the customer terminal 30 are connected via network N2. Both networks N1 and N2 are, for example, the Internet, and various information is exchanged between connected devices via wired or wireless communication. In the following explanation, the descriptions of networks N1 and N2 will be omitted.

[0033] The property information display device 10 comprises a calculation unit 11 and a storage unit 12. The calculation unit 11 is equipped with a central processing unit (CPU) and operates based on programs and data stored in the storage unit 12, providing various functions. The storage unit 12 is composed of, for example, a hard disk drive or semiconductor memory (flash memory, RAM, ROM), and stores various information such as programs and data read by the calculation unit 11. The storage unit 12 may be implemented by a virtual storage device such as a cloud server located outside the calculation unit 11.

[0034] The client terminal 20 is, for example, a personal computer, tablet, or smartphone, and comprises a client terminal display unit 21, a client terminal operation unit 22, a calculation unit 23, and a storage unit 24. The client terminal display unit 21 is, for example, equipped with a liquid crystal display and displays various information. In the following description, the display of information by the client terminal display unit 21 is also referred to as presenting information to the client CL. The client terminal operation unit 22 is, for example, equipped with a touch panel and detects operations by the client CL (for example, an employee of a real estate agency). The calculation unit 23 (not shown) is equipped with a central processing unit (CPU) and operates based on programs and data stored in the storage unit 24 (not shown), providing various functions. The storage unit 24 is, for example, composed of a hard disk drive or semiconductor memory (flash memory, RAM, ROM), and stores various information such as programs and data read by the calculation unit 23. The storage unit 24 may be implemented by a virtual storage device such as a cloud server located outside the client terminal 20.

[0035] The customer terminal 30 is, for example, a personal computer, tablet, or smartphone, and comprises a customer terminal display unit 31, a customer terminal operation unit 32, a calculation unit 33, and a storage unit 34. The customer terminal display unit 31 is, for example, equipped with a liquid crystal display and displays various information. In the following description, the display of information by the customer terminal display unit 31 is also referred to as presenting information to the customer CS. The customer terminal operation unit 32 is, for example, equipped with a touch panel and detects the operation of the customer CS (for example, a user looking for residential real estate). The calculation unit 33 (not shown) is equipped with a central processing unit (CPU) and operates based on programs and data stored in the storage unit 34 (not shown), providing various functions. The storage unit 34 is, for example, composed of a hard disk drive or semiconductor memory (flash memory, RAM, ROM), and stores various information such as programs and data read by the calculation unit 33. The memory unit 34 may be implemented by a virtual storage device such as a cloud server located outside the customer terminal 30.

[0036] The calculation unit 11 of the property information display device 10 includes a communication unit 111, a matching unit 112, a display control unit 113, an operation reception unit 114, an information acquisition unit 115, and a setting unit 116 as its functional units.

[0037] The communications unit 111 performs information communication with the client terminal 20 and the customer terminal 30.

[0038] The matching unit 112 calculates the degree of match between the property's condition and the user's desired conditions, and matches the property with the user based on the calculated degree of match.

[0039] The display control unit 113 controls the display on the client terminal 20 and the customer terminal 30. Specifically, the display control unit 113 generates the screens to be displayed on the client terminal display unit 21 and the customer terminal display unit 31, and transmits them to the client terminal 20 and the customer terminal 30 via the communication unit 111. The client terminal 20 and the customer terminal 30 then display the screens generated by the display control unit 113.

[0040] The operation reception unit 114 receives various operations performed on the client terminal 20 and customer terminal 30. The operation reception unit 114 activates each part of the calculation unit 11 according to the various operations it receives.

[0041] The information acquisition unit 115 acquires information from the storage unit 12, client terminal 20, customer terminal 30, or an external device (not shown) based on the operation received by the operation reception unit 114.

[0042] The setting unit 116 stores various setting information in the storage unit 12 based on the operation received by the operation reception unit 114. In the following description, storing various setting information in the storage unit 12 may be referred to as "registering" or "setting".

[0043] In the following explanation, the display control unit 113, operation reception unit 114, and information acquisition unit 115 will be described as communicating directly with the client terminal 20 and customer terminal 30, and the functions and operation of the communication unit 111 will be omitted.

[0044] [Operation Flow of Property Information Display System 1] The operation of the property information presentation system 1 according to this embodiment will be described below with reference to Figures 2 and 3.

[0045] Figure 2 shows an example of the operation flow (part 1) of the property information presentation system according to this embodiment. First, referring to Figure 2, we will explain the flow from the registration of property information D1 and desired conditions C1 to the display of the list of proposed properties.

[0046] (Step S201) Client CL registers property information D1 with the property information display device 10. Specifically, Client CL operates the client terminal 20 to input property information D1. The client terminal 20 transmits property information D1 to the property information display device 10. Property information D1 is information that indicates the status of the property handled by Client CL. The property status is selected from items that can be matched with the customer CS's desired conditions. For example, the property status includes various details such as the time of year, type of property, location area, cost, relocation, size, floor plan, age of the building, usage restrictions, and facilities. Details related to the time of year may include, for example, the move-in date. Details related to the location area of ​​the property may include, for example, the name of the municipality where the property is located, the name of the nearest train line and station, and the reason for selecting the location area. Details related to the cost may include upper and lower limits of the purchase price or rental price, and upper and lower limits of the price per tsubo (unit of area). Information regarding transportation may include the distance and travel time from the nearest station to the property, the distance and travel time from the nearest station to other locations (e.g., the customer's workplace or school), and the number of transfers required. Information regarding the size and layout of the property may include the upper and lower limits of the property's size and the layout (e.g., 3DK or 4LDK). Information regarding the age of the property may include the upper limit of the building's age and the seismic standards the property meets (e.g., compliance with the new seismic standards). Information regarding restrictions on the use of the property may include whether pets are allowed, whether musical instruments are allowed, and whether the property can be used as an office or retail space. Information regarding the property's facilities may include the availability of parking and bicycle parking, whether it is barrier-free, and the details of residential facilities such as electricity, gas, water, and telecommunications.

[0047] (Step S301) The customer CS registers the desired conditions C1 with the property information display device 10. Specifically, the customer CS operates the customer terminal 30 to input the desired conditions C1. The customer terminal 30 transmits the desired conditions C1 to the property information display device 10. Desired conditions C1 are the conditions that the customer CS desires regarding the status of the property. Desired conditions C1 include conditions related to the timing, conditions related to the type of property, conditions related to the location area of ​​the property, conditions related to costs, conditions related to relocation, conditions related to the size and layout of the property, conditions related to the age of the property, conditions related to restrictions on the use of the property, conditions related to the facilities of the property, etc. Specific examples of each condition are the same as those for the property information D1 described above, so the explanation is omitted. Among the customer CSs using the property information display system 1, a customer CS who has registered desired conditions C1 is also called a customer CS1 with registered desired conditions. The function that allows a Customer CS to receive property suggestions from a Client CL that match their desired conditions C1 without specifying a particular property is also called a "property request" or simply a "request." In the property information presentation system 1, when a Customer CS makes a "property request," it may be configured to allow the Customer CS to register their profile (name, age, gender, family structure, current residential area, type of current property, household income, planned down payment) in addition to their desired conditions C1. Among the Customer CS's profile, items that the Customer CS does not want to disclose to anyone other than those they trust (or items based on prescribed rules for protecting personal information) are also called personal information.

[0048] (Step S101) The information acquisition unit 115 of the property information display device 10 acquires property information D1 from the client terminal 20. The information acquisition unit 115 acquires desired conditions C1 from the customer terminal 30. The setting unit 116 stores the acquired property information D1 and desired conditions C1 in the storage unit 12. In other words, the property information display device 10 registers the property information D1 and desired conditions C1. When starting to use the property information display system 1, the client CL performs initial settings that match the client CL's business content. Initial settings include the client CL's store location and the days of the week on which visits are possible.

[0049] (Step S202) The client CL performs the initial setup. Specifically, the client terminal 20 displays the initial setup screen on the client terminal display unit 21. The initial setup screen may include a field for setting the days when visits are possible. The client CL sets the days when visits are possible by selecting the days of the week from the options displayed in the field for setting the days when visits are possible. The client terminal 20 transmits the initial values ​​for each store, such as the days of the week when visits are possible, entered on the initial setup screen, to the property information display device 10.

[0050] (Step S102) The matching unit 112 of the property information display device 10 matches the property status indicated by the registered property information D1 with the desired conditions C1. Specifically, the matching unit 112 matches each item of the property information D1 with each item of the desired conditions C1 corresponding to that item, and determines whether there is a match or not. The matching unit 112 may determine the degree of match instead of, or in addition to, determining whether there is a match or not. The matching unit 112 stores the matched items and the mismatched items as matching results in the storage unit 12. The matching unit 112 may also store the number of matched items and the degree of match as matching results in the storage unit 12.

[0051] (Step S103) The matching unit 112 sends the matching result to the client terminal 20. Among the customers CS1 with registered desired conditions, the customer CS that the matching unit 112 has matched with a property (i.e., the customer CS whose property status and desired conditions C1 match) is also called a condition-matched customer CS2.

[0052] (Step S203) The client terminal 20 displays the property list. Specifically, the client terminal 20 displays the property list display screen based on the operation of the client CL. The property list display screen is a screen that displays a list of properties registered by the client CL. In the property list display section, properties with a high degree of match may be shown at the top of the screen.

[0053] (Step S204) The client terminal 20 displays the property details. Specifically, when the client CL selects a property to be displayed from the property list display field, the display control unit 113 causes the client terminal display unit 21 to display the property details display screen. The property details display screen is a screen that shows the status of the property and the information of the customer CS that has been matched to the property, for each property. That is, the property details display screen displays the condition-matching customer CS2 for each property.

[0054] (Step S205) The client terminal 20 displays details about the proposed customer. Specifically, when the client CL selects a customer CS from the list of customers who can be proposed to, the display control unit 113 displays a detailed display screen for the proposed customer. This screen displays the customer CS's desired conditions C1 and profile details. The screen may also display a button for making a proposal to visit.

[0055] (Step S206) When the operation reception unit 114 receives the visit proposal operation on the detailed display screen of the proposed customer as described above, the display control unit 113 displays the meeting place candidate setting screen on the client terminal display unit 21. The meeting place candidate setting screen is a screen for the client CL to propose a meeting place to the customer CS on the day of the property explanation meeting. The client CL specifies the meeting place on the meeting place candidate setting screen.

[0056] (Step S207) The operation reception unit 114 accepts the operation of the setting button displayed on the meeting place candidate setting screen. As a result, the setting unit 116 changes the attribute of the invited customer CS from the proposed customer CS3 to the proposed customer CS4. The client terminal 20 also sends a proposal to the property information display device 10.

[0057] (Step S208) When a proposal is sent by the client CL, the display control unit 113 displays the proposed list on the client terminal display unit 21. The proposed list display screen may be configured to be displayed at any time thereafter by performing a predetermined operation by the client CL.

[0058] (Step S104) When a proposal is sent by the client CL, the communication unit 111 of the property information display device 10 sends the proposal for the property briefing session to the customer terminal 30 of the customer CS to whom the proposal is being made.

[0059] (Step S302) The customer terminal display unit 31 displays the property proposal push notification screen. The property proposal push notification screen is a so-called push notification screen displayed on the customer terminal display unit 31. Push notification is a notification method that indicates that property proposal information has been received without requiring a viewing operation by the customer CS. The communication unit 111 of the property information display device 10 may, in addition to or instead of the push notification method, present the property proposal information to the customer CS by sending an email. Sending an email is a notification method that displays property proposal information based on a viewing operation by the customer CS, such as launching an email viewing application.

[0060] (Step S303) When the customer CS operates the client terminal operation unit 22 to launch the application of the property information presentation system 1, the display control unit 113 displays the application top screen. If a new property proposal has been made, a notification screen is displayed on the application top screen. The notification screen is a screen that informs the customer CS that a property proposal has been made by the client CL when the application is launched.

[0061] (Step S105) When the property information display device 10 detects that the application has been launched on the customer terminal 30, it transmits property information D1 of the proposed property to the customer terminal 30. (Step S304) The customer terminal 30 displays a property display screen on the customer terminal display unit 31 based on the customer CS's operation. The property display screen lists the number of property proposals that the customer CS has not viewed (unread), the property search conditions set by the customer CS, and property proposals from the client CL. In other words, the property display screen may include a screen of property proposals from the client CL and a screen of property proposals based on the search results from the computer program of the property information presentation system 1. When the operation reception unit 114 receives a predetermined operation from the customer CS, it displays a property proposal list screen on the customer terminal display unit 31.

[0062] Figure 3 shows an example of the operation flow (part 2) of the property information display system according to this embodiment. Next, the flow from the display of property details to the completion of a series of processes will be explained with reference to the same figure.

[0063] (Step S305) The display control unit 113 displays the property details (i.e., property information D1 of the property proposed by client CL) on the customer terminal display unit 31. The property details include information about visitor guidance.

[0064] (Step S306) If the operation reception unit 114 receives an operation request from customer CS to visit (Step S306; YES), it proceeds to step S307. On the other hand, if the operation reception unit 114 does not receive an operation request from customer CS to visit (Step S306; NO), it proceeds to step S309.

[0065] (Step S307) The customer terminal 30 obtains information from the customer CS regarding the desired date of visit and meeting place. Specifically, the customer terminal 30 displays a visit request screen on the customer terminal display unit 31. The visit request screen is a screen for accepting reservations for the date and time of visit to the proposed property. The customer CS enters the desired date of visit and meeting place on this screen.

[0066] (Step S308) The customer terminal 30 transmits the desired visit date and meeting place entered by the customer CS to the property information display device 10. Here, the fact that the customer CS has made a reservation to the client CL means that the customer CS trusts the client CL and has decided that it is acceptable to disclose the customer CS's personal information (for example, name and contact information) to the client CL. Therefore, when a reservation operation for a visit is performed, the property information display system 1 of this embodiment changes the display mode on the client terminal 20 from anonymous display mode to personal information disclosure mode.

[0067] (Step S106) The operation reception unit 114 receives the visit reservation information transmitted in step S308 as a reservation operation to visit the proposed property. Upon receiving the reservation operation, the operation reception unit 114 transmits the visit reservation information to the client terminal 20. The property information display device 10 also changes the display mode on the client terminal 20 from anonymous display mode to personal information disclosure mode upon receiving the reservation operation. The property information display device 10 transmits the personal information of the customer CS who made the visit reservation to the client terminal 20.

[0068] (Step S209) The client terminal 20 receives the visit reservation information and the personal information of the customer CS who made the visit reservation. The client terminal 20 also deactivates the anonymous display mode and switches to personal information disclosure mode.

[0069] (Step S210) The client terminal 20 displays the property details of the client CL. In personal information disclosure mode, the property details are displayed including the customer CS's name (real name), telephone number, email address, and other contact information.

[0070] (Step S309) At this point, the customer CS reviews the proposed property and, if they do not wish to visit, their preference may be incorrect. In this case, the customer CS enters the preference discrepancy. The preference discrepancy may be entered by the customer CS operating a preference discrepancy button (not shown).

[0071] (Step S310) When the desired misalignment button is pressed, the customer terminal display unit 31 transmits the misalignment conditions and the reason for selecting the misalignment conditions to the property information display device 10.

[0072] (Step S107) The operation reception unit 114 receives the operation as a transmission operation and stores the misalignment conditions and the reason for selecting the misalignment conditions in the storage unit 12. The misalignment conditions and the reason for selecting the misalignment conditions collected from the customer CS will be used to improve the functionality of the property information presentation system 1 in the future.

[0073] [Proposal for a plan that includes renovations] In this case, when fulfilling the property request described above, it is conceivable that there may be situations where no property exists that matches the customer's (CS) wishes. According to this embodiment, if renovating a property registered by the client (CL) in the property information presentation system 1 would match the customer's (CS) wishes, a plan with renovations is proposed.

[0074] Figure 4 shows an example of the operation flow when displaying a plan with renovations using the property information display system according to this embodiment. First, an example of the operation flow when displaying a plan with renovations will be explained with reference to the figure.

[0075] (Step S510) The customer terminal 30 receives the desired property conditions C1 from the customer CS. Step S510 may be the same as step S301 described above. In this embodiment, it is preferable that the desired conditions C1 include at least information about the floor plan. In addition, the desired conditions C1 may include information on whether or not a plan with renovations is acceptable.

[0076] (Step S520) The customer terminal 30 transmits the desired conditions obtained from the customer CS to the property information display device 10.

[0077] (Step S530) Here, when the client terminal 20 registers property information D1, it registers a renovation plan example in addition to the information of the property itself. Step S530 may be the same as Step S201 described above. The renovation plan example may include changes in the floor plan after renovation, the cost of the renovation, the period required for the renovation (i.e., when the property will be habitable after renovation), the name of the renovation company, etc. Note that it is not necessary to register a renovation plan example for properties where renovation is not possible.

[0078] (Step S540) The client terminal 20 transmits the property information D1 obtained from the client CL to the property information display device 10.

[0079] (Step S550) The property information display device 10 performs matching based on the desired conditions C1 acquired in step S520 and the property information D1 acquired in step S540. According to this embodiment, the property information D1 includes examples of renovation plans. Therefore, the property information display device 10 searches whether there are any properties in the no-renovation plan of property information D1 that match the desired conditions C1, and further searches whether there are any properties in the renovation plan of property information D1 that match the desired conditions C1. There may be multiple renovation plans for a single property. Note that step S550 may correspond to step S102 described above.

[0080] (Step S560) Furthermore, the property information presentation device 10 scores the matching results performed in step S550. Specifically, the score may be set to be higher if the degree of match between the desired condition C1 and the property information D1 is high. For example, if the floor plan of desired condition C1 and the floor plan of property information D1 are the same, the score will be high, and the more different they are, the lower the score will be. According to this embodiment, since there may be multiple renovation plans for one property, there will be many properties with high scores. The degree of match may also be set differently depending on whether or not renovation is performed. For example, the score may be set higher when a no-renovation plan is matched, and lower when a renovation plan is matched. Also, if desired condition C1 indicates that a renovation plan is not acceptable, the score may be set lower when a renovation plan is matched.

[0081] (Step S570) Next, the property information presentation device 10 selects candidates for property requests. Candidates for property requests are, in other words, customers CS who wish to make property requests and are candidates to whom proposals from client CL will be sent. The selection of candidates may be determined, for example, based on whether the degree of match is above a predetermined threshold.

[0082] (Step S580) Next, the property information display device 10 displays a list of desired conditions C1 to the client terminal 20 in descending order of matching score. At this stage, the customer CS's information may or may not be disclosed to the client CL (i.e., it may be kept anonymous).

[0083] (Step S590) The client CL confirms the request sent in step S580 (for example, the list of desired conditions C1). Based on the confirmation, the client CL may modify the property information D1 to better match the desired conditions C1. Modifying the property information D1 specifically means modifying the renovation plan, which may be done to better match the customer CS's wishes.

[0084] (Step S600) Next, the client terminal 20 transmits the modified property information D1 to the property information display device 10.

[0085] (Step S610) The property information display device 10 transmits the corrected property information D1 received in step S600 as proposed information to the customer terminal 30 operated by the target customer CS. Step S610 may also correspond to step S207 described above.

[0086] (Step S620) The customer CS verifies the proposal information sent in step S610. Step S620 may also correspond to steps S303 to S305 described above.

[0087] Figure 5 shows an example of a display screen including a plan without renovation and a plan with renovation, as displayed by the property information display device according to this embodiment. As shown in the figure, the plan with renovation and the plan without renovation are displayed simultaneously for a single property. This embodiment is not limited to this example, but as an example, a display screen D10 in which the plan with renovation and the plan without renovation are displayed simultaneously will be described.

[0088] Display screen D10 comprises the following components: symbols D11, D12, D13, D14, and D19. Symbol D11 indicates the property name. The property name is a name used to identify the property, regardless of whether or not it has been renovated. The property name may include, for example, the name of the apartment building or its location. The space between symbols D11 and D12 (i.e., the space where the property is identified but the plan is not) may contain information that is not dependent on the plan, such as the property's location, age of construction, exterior photographs, and the facilities included in the apartment building.

[0089] Symbol D19 represents a scroll bar. By sliding this scroll bar up and down, the customer CS can view more properties or plans.

[0090] Codes D12 through D14 each represent a plan. The plans shown in codes D12 through D14 are all for the same property shown in code D11, but differ in whether or not renovations have been made. In addition to whether or not renovations have been made, each plan may also display the sales price, floor plan, etc. Furthermore, each plan may also display photographs of the interior of the property (or an image in the case of a plan with renovations), the move-in date, etc.

[0091] Specifically, symbol D12 indicates a plan without renovations. In the example shown, symbol D12 indicates that it is a "plan without renovations," the selling price is "20,000,000 yen," and the floor plan is "3LDK."

[0092] Furthermore, code D13 indicates a plan with renovations. In the illustrated example, code D13 indicates that it is "Plan with Renovations 1," the sales price is "23,000,000 yen," and the floor plan is "2LDK." In other words, in Plan with Renovations 1, the floor plan is changed from 3LDK to 2LDK. This makes it possible to make a proposal to customer CS who has specified 2LDK as their desired condition C1.

[0093] Furthermore, symbol D14 indicates a plan with renovations. In the illustrated example, symbol D14 indicates that it is "Renovation Plan 2," the sales price is "28,000,000 yen," and the floor plan is "2LDK." In other words, in Renovation Plan 1, the floor plan is changed from 3LDK to 2LDK. This makes it possible to make a proposal to customer CS who has specified 2LDK as their desired condition C1. In addition, although both Renovation Plan 1 and Renovation Plan 2 are 2LDK, by making the detailed floor plans different, it becomes possible to propose properties that better match the customer CS's wishes.

[0094] It should be noted that this embodiment is not limited to the example shown in the figure, and the customer terminal 30 may present only plans with high scores (for example, plans with renovations) to the customer CS as a result of the matching.

[0095] Figure 6 is a functional configuration diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the property information display device according to this embodiment. Referring to this figure, an example of a functional configuration diagram for realizing the functions described with reference to Figures 4 and 5 will be explained. The functional configuration diagram shown in Figure 6 can also be said to be a more detailed configuration of the functional configuration diagram shown in Figure 1. Referring to this figure, the internal configuration of the calculation unit 11 will be explained in particular. As described above, the calculation unit 11 is composed of a matching unit 112, a display control unit 113, and an operation reception unit 114. The operation reception unit 114 further comprises a desired conditions acquisition unit 114A and a property information acquisition unit 114B.

[0096] The desired conditions acquisition unit 114A acquires desired conditions C1 from the customer terminal 30 based on the customer CS's operation. Desired conditions C1 can also be said to be the customer CS's request regarding the purchase or lease of property.

[0097] The property information acquisition unit 114B acquires property information D1 from the client terminal 20 based on the operation of the client CL. Property information D1 can also be said to be a request from the client CL regarding the sale or lease of a property.

[0098] The matching unit 112 searches for properties that match the desired conditions C1 obtained by the desired conditions acquisition unit 114A from among multiple property information D1 obtained by the property information acquisition unit 114B. The multiple property information D1 obtained by the property information acquisition unit 114B may, for example, be stored in the storage unit 12 each time it is acquired and accessed each time a search is performed. The matching unit 112 can also be described as a search unit. Even if a property does not match the desired conditions C1 obtained by the desired conditions acquisition unit 114A, the matching unit 112 will search for it as a property that matches the desired conditions C1 if it can be made to match the desired conditions C1 by remodeling. For example, the matching unit 112 may search for a property that has a remodeling plan that alters the current layout of the property as a property that matches the desired conditions C1. As a more specific example, the matching unit 112 may search for a plan that alters a 3LDK to make it a 2LDK for a customer CS looking for a 2LDK property.

[0099] Here, it is preferable that the renovation plan be considered by the client CL who submitted the property information D1; however, depending on the scale of the client CL's business, they may not be able to handle the renovation. Therefore, the contractor who performs the renovation may be different from the client CL who submitted the property information D1.

[0100] The display control unit 113 presents information about potential properties to customers CS who wish to purchase or lease a property. These potential properties are those found by the matching unit 112. In other words, the display control unit 113 also presents properties found by the matching unit 112 to the customer CS. The display control unit 113 may also be referred to as the presentation unit.

[0101] As shown in Figure 5, the display control unit 113 may simultaneously present the customer CS with a plan that includes renovations and a plan that does not include renovations. In other words, the display control unit 113 can present not only a plan to purchase or lease a candidate property without renovations, but also a plan to purchase or lease the property after renovations have been made.

[0102] Furthermore, the display control unit 113 may present multiple renovation plans, as shown in Figure 5. That is, the display control unit 113 may present multiple plans for purchasing or leasing a candidate property after performing different renovations on it. In this case, it is preferable that the multiple plans presented by the display control unit 113 have different floor plans.

[0103] In this scenario, there may be multiple contractors performing the renovations, and a customer (CS) may decide whether or not to proceed with the renovations based on the contractors they choose. Therefore, it is preferable for the display control unit 113 to display the names of the contractors performing the renovations, in conjunction with the plans for purchasing or leasing the property after the renovations are completed. Furthermore, the contractors performing the renovations may be configured to be selectable by the customer (CS).

[0104] [Proposal for a plan with an existing building] Up to this point, we have described an embodiment in which a plan including renovations is proposed. However, the property information presentation device 10 may also propose a plan to build a building for a property that consists only of land. In other words, it is conceivable that a situation may arise where a property consisting only of land exists in the ideal location for the customer CS, but the customer desires a plan that includes a building. According to this embodiment, if building a building on a property consisting only of land that the client CL has registered in the property information presentation system 1 would match the customer CS's wishes, a plan with a building is proposed.

[0105] Figure 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of the operation flow when displaying a building plan using the property information presentation system according to this embodiment. An example of the operation flow when displaying a plan with a building will be explained with reference to this figure. Note that Figure 7 can also be considered a modified version of Figure 4. In the explanation of Figure 7, the same reference numerals are used for processes that are the same as in Figure 4, and the explanation is omitted. Specifically, Figure 7 differs from Figure 4 in that it has step S530A instead of step S530, and step S550A instead of step S550.

[0106] (Step S530A) In this embodiment, when the client terminal 20 registers property information D1, if the property is only land, it registers a building plan example in addition to the information of the property itself. A building plan example is an example of a building to be built on the land. The building plan example may include the building coverage ratio, floor area ratio, construction costs, construction period (i.e., when the building can be occupied after construction), the name of the construction company, an image of the building after construction, etc. Note that it is not necessary to register a building plan example for properties where construction is not suitable.

[0107] (Step S550A) In this embodiment, the property information display device 10 performs matching based on the desired conditions C1 acquired in step S520 and the property information D1 acquired in step S540. According to this embodiment, the property information D1 includes examples of building plans. Therefore, the property information display device 10 searches whether there are any properties in the property information D1 that match the desired conditions C1, and further searches whether there are any properties in the building plans of the property information D1 that match the desired conditions C1. There may be multiple building plans for a single property.

[0108] Figure 8 shows an example of a display screen including a plan without a building and a plan with a building, as displayed by the property information display device according to this embodiment. The display screen D20 shown in the figure is a modified version of the display screen D10 described above. As shown in the figure, the plan with a building and the plan without a building are displayed simultaneously for one property. This embodiment is not limited to this example, but as an example, the display screen D20 in the case where the plan with a building and the plan without a building are displayed simultaneously will be described.

[0109] Display screen D20 comprises the following components: symbols D21, D22, D23, D24, and D29. Symbol D21 indicates the property name. The property name is a name used to identify a property, regardless of whether a building is constructed on the land or not. The property name may include, for example, the location and area of ​​the property. The space between symbols D21 and D22 (i.e., the area where the property is identified but the plan is not) may contain information that is not dependent on the plan, such as a photograph of the exterior.

[0110] The symbol D29 represents a scroll bar. By sliding this scroll bar up and down, the customer CS can view more properties or plans.

[0111] Codes D22 through D24 each represent a plan. The plans shown in codes D22 through D24 are all the same property as shown in code D21, but differ in whether or not renovations have been done. In addition to the presence or absence of a building, each plan may also show the sales price, floor plan, building coverage ratio, floor area ratio, etc. Furthermore, each plan may also show an image of the building, the date when it will be available for occupancy, etc.

[0112] Specifically, symbol D22 indicates a plan without a building (land only). In the example shown, symbol D22 indicates that it is a "plan without a building (land only)", the selling price is "100,000,000 yen", and because there is no building, the floor plan is "-".

[0113] Furthermore, code D23 indicates a plan with a building. In the illustrated example, code D23 indicates that it is "Plan with Building 1", the selling price is "123,000,000 yen", and the floor plan is "2LDK". In other words, Plan with Building 1 is suitable for proposing to customers CS who desire a 2LDK floor plan. This makes it possible to propose to customers CS who specify a 2LDK as their desired condition C1 for the location where the land is located.

[0114] Furthermore, code D24 indicates a plan with a building. In the illustrated example, code D24 indicates that it is "Plan with Building 2," the sales price is "128,000,000 yen," and the floor plan is "3LDK." In other words, Plan with Building 2 is suitable for proposing to customers CS who desire a 3LDK floor plan. This makes it possible to propose to customers CS who specify a 3LDK as their desired condition C1 for the location where the land is located.

[0115] It should be noted that this embodiment is not limited to the example shown in the figure, and the customer terminal 30 may present only plans with high scores (for example, plans with buildings) to the customer CS as a result of the matching.

[0116] In the embodiment described above, an example of constructing a building on a property consisting only of land was explained. However, this embodiment is not limited to this example, and for example, a plan may be proposed in which an existing building is demolished, the land is returned to its original state, and then sold or leased.

[0117] Furthermore, there may be multiple construction companies, and there is a possibility that a customer (CS) will decide whether or not to include a building in their plan based on which company is performing the construction. Therefore, it is preferable for the display control unit 113 to display the name of the construction company performing the building, in association with the plan to purchase or lease the building after it has been constructed. Alternatively, the construction company performing the building may be configured to be selectable by the customer (CS).

[0118] [Internal structure] Figure 9 is a block diagram showing an example of the internal configuration of the property information display device according to this embodiment. At least some of the functions of the property information display device 10 can be realized using a computer. As shown in the figure, the computer is composed of a central processing unit 901, RAM 902, input / output ports 903, input / output devices 904 and 905, etc., and a bus 906. The computer itself can be realized using existing technology. The central processing unit 901 executes instructions contained in programs read from RAM 902, etc. The central processing unit 901 writes data to RAM 902, reads data from RAM 902, and performs arithmetic and logical operations according to each instruction. RAM 902 stores data and programs. Each element contained in RAM 902 has an address and can be accessed using that address. RAM stands for "Random Access Memory". Input / output ports 903 are ports for the central processing unit 901 to exchange data with external input / output devices, etc. Input / output devices 904 and 905 are input / output devices. Input / output devices 904 and 905 exchange data with the central processing unit 901 via input / output port 903. Bus 906 is a common communication channel used within the computer. For example, the central processing unit 901 reads and writes data to RAM 902 via bus 906. Also, for example, the central processing unit 901 accesses input / output ports via bus 906. Furthermore, all or part of each functional unit of the property information display device 10 may be implemented using hardware such as ASIC, PLD, or FPGA. Furthermore, all or part of each functional unit may be implemented by a combination of software and hardware.

[0119] [Summary of Embodiments] According to the embodiment described above, the property information display device 10 includes a display control unit 113. The display control unit 113 presents information about candidate properties to a user who wishes to purchase or lease a property. In addition, the display control unit 113 presents a plan to purchase or lease a candidate property without renovation, as well as a plan to purchase or lease the property after renovation. By adopting this configuration, even if a property that the user desires does not exist, it can be made to the desired property by renovation. Therefore, according to this embodiment, it is possible to support the buying, selling, and leasing of properties such as land and buildings in a more favorable manner.

[0120] Furthermore, according to the embodiment described above, the display control unit 113 presents multiple plans for purchasing or leasing candidate properties after performing different renovations on each property. In other words, the display control unit 113 can also present multiple renovation plans. By adopting such a configuration, it becomes easier for users to find properties that match their preferences. Therefore, according to this embodiment, it is possible to provide support for more favorable transactions such as buying, selling, or leasing of land, buildings, and other properties.

[0121] Furthermore, according to the embodiment described above, the multiple plans presented by the display control unit 113 have different floor plans from each other. It can also be said that the multiple renovation plans have different floor plans from each other. By adopting such a configuration, it becomes easier for users to find properties that match their preferences. Therefore, according to this embodiment, it is possible to provide support for more favorable transactions such as buying, selling, or leasing of land, buildings, and other properties.

[0122] Furthermore, according to the embodiment described above, the display control unit 113 displays the name of the contractor that will perform the renovations, in association with the plan to purchase or lease the property after the renovations are carried out. By adopting this configuration, the user can see the renovation contractor and decide whether or not to proceed with the renovations. Therefore, according to this embodiment, it is possible to provide support for more favorable transactions such as buying, selling, or leasing of land, buildings, and other properties.

[0123] Furthermore, according to the embodiment described above, the contractor that performs the renovations shown in the plan presented by the display control unit 113 is different from the contractor that handles the property to be purchased or leased. In other words, there are cases where multiple types of businesses are involved in a client CL, such as Company A handling the property and Company B handling the renovations. By adopting such a configuration, it becomes possible to propose a renovation plan even to a client CL who has not yet carried out renovations. Therefore, according to this embodiment, it is possible to support the buying, selling, and leasing of properties such as land and buildings in a more favorable manner.

[0124] Furthermore, according to the embodiment described above, the property information display device 10 comprises a desired conditions acquisition unit 114A and a matching unit 112. The desired conditions acquisition unit 114A acquires the user's desired conditions regarding the purchase or lease of a property. The matching unit 112 searches for properties that match the desired conditions acquired by the desired conditions acquisition unit 114A. The display control unit 113 presents the properties found by the matching unit 112 to the user. In other words, according to this embodiment, the property request function described above is realized, and it becomes possible to introduce properties that the customer CS desires. Therefore, according to this embodiment, it is possible to support the buying, selling, and leasing of properties such as land and buildings in a more favorable manner.

[0125] Furthermore, according to the embodiment described above, even if a property differs from the desired conditions acquired by the desired conditions acquisition unit 114A, if it can be made to match the desired conditions through renovation, the matching unit 112 will search for it as a property that matches the desired conditions. In other words, even if the property information presentation system 1 searches for a plan without renovation and does not find a property that matches the customer CS's wishes, it can make the property conditions match the customer CS's wishes through renovation and propose it. Therefore, according to this embodiment, it is possible to support the buying, selling, and leasing of properties such as land and buildings in a more favorable manner.

[0126] According to the embodiment described above, the property information display device 10 includes a display control unit 113. The display control unit 113 presents information about candidate properties to a user who wishes to purchase or lease a property. If the candidate property is land, the display control unit 113 presents a plan to purchase or lease only the land, and a plan to purchase or lease the land after a building has been constructed on it. By adopting this configuration, even if a property that the user desires does not exist, it is possible to make a property that is only land into a desired property by constructing a building on it. Therefore, according to this embodiment, it is possible to support the buying, selling, and leasing of properties such as land and buildings in a more favorable manner.

[0127] Furthermore, according to the embodiment described above, the display control unit 113 presents multiple plans for purchasing or leasing a candidate plot of land, each with different buildings constructed on it. In other words, the display control unit 113 can also present multiple plans with buildings. By adopting such a configuration, it becomes easier for the user to find a property that matches their preferences. Therefore, according to this embodiment, it is possible to provide support for more favorable transactions such as buying, selling, or leasing of land, buildings, and other properties.

[0128] Furthermore, according to the embodiment described above, the display control unit 113 displays the name of the construction company that will build the building, in association with the plan to purchase or lease the building after it has been constructed. By adopting this configuration, the user can see the construction company and decide whether or not to select a plan that includes a building. Therefore, according to this embodiment, it is possible to provide support for more favorable transactions such as buying, selling, or leasing of land, buildings, and other properties.

[0129] Furthermore, the functions of each part of each device in the property information display device 10 in the above-described embodiment may be realized by recording a program for realizing these functions on a computer-readable recording medium, and then having a computer system read and execute the program recorded on this recording medium. The term "computer system" here includes hardware such as an operating system and peripheral devices.

[0130] Furthermore, "computer-readable recording media" refers to portable media such as flexible disks, magneto-optical disks, ROMs, and CD-ROMs, as well as storage units such as hard disks built into computer systems. In addition, "computer-readable recording media" may also include those that dynamically hold programs for a short period of time, such as communication lines used when transmitting programs over networks such as the Internet or communication lines such as telephone lines, and those that hold programs for a certain period of time, such as volatile memory inside computer systems that act as servers or clients in such cases. Moreover, the above-mentioned programs may be for the purpose of realizing some of the functions described above, and may also be programs that can realize the aforementioned functions in combination with programs already recorded in the computer system.
