Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0014] [Embodiment] Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a property information presentation device and a program according to an aspect of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the aspects of the present invention are not limited to these embodiments, and also include those with various modifications or improvements. That is, the constituent elements described below include those that can be easily assumed by those skilled in the art and substantially the same ones, and the constituent elements described below can be combined as appropriate. Also, various omissions, substitutions, or changes of the constituent elements can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention. Also, in the following drawings, in order to make each configuration easier to understand, the scale and number, etc. of each structure may be made different from the scale and number, etc. in the actual structure.

[0015] First, matters that are the premise of this embodiment will be described. The property information presentation device and 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 program according to this embodiment are not limited to real estate, which is land and its fixtures (buildings), and may include movable property not attached to the land. In the following description, as an example, the case where the property information presentation device and program according to this embodiment handle real estate such as a residence or a store will be described.

[0016] [Property Request] First, an overview of the property information presentation system 1 and a property request using the property information presentation system 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

[0017] [Property Information Presentation System 1] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the device configuration of the property information presentation system 1 according to an embodiment. First, as an example, the property information presentation system 1 has a function of proposing a property that has a relatively high degree of matching with the user's desired conditions to a user who is looking for a residential property. In the following description, the degree of matching between the situation of the property and the user's desired conditions is also referred to as "condition matching degree" or simply "matching degree".

[0018] The property information presentation system 1 of the present embodiment provides a property proposal function by two types of proposal methods: an automatic proposal method performed by a computer program and a proposal method performed through interaction with a person in charge of a real estate agency or the like.

[0019] In the following description, an individual or organization on the side of introducing a property, such as a person in charge of a real estate agency, is also referred to as "client CL". Client CL may include not only the person on the side of introducing the property, but also a renovation company that renovates the property, a construction company that builds a building on a property that is land, etc., who gives some added value to the property.

[0020] Also, in the following description, an individual or organization on the side of being introduced to a property, such as a user looking for a property, is also referred to as "customer CS". Since customer CS is a user who uses the property information presentation system 1, customer CS may sometimes be simply described as a user.

[0021] 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.

[0022] 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."

[0023] 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.

[0024] 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.

[0025] 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.

[0026] 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.

[0027] 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.

[0028] 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.

[0029] The communications unit 111 performs information communication with the client terminal 20 and the customer terminal 30.

[0030] 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.

[0031] 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.

[0032] 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.

[0033] 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.

[0034] 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".

[0035] 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.

[0036] [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.

[0037] 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.

[0038] (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.

[0039] (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.

[0040] (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.

[0041] (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.

[0042] (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.

[0043] (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.

[0044] (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.

[0045] (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.

[0046] (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.

[0047] (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.

[0048] (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.

[0049] (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.

[0050] (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.

[0051] (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.

[0052] (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.

[0053] (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.

[0054] 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.

[0055] (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.

[0056] (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.

[0057] (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.

[0058] (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.

[0059] (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.

[0060] (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.

[0061] (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.

[0062] (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).

[0063] (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.

[0064] (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.

[0065] [Presenting fair procurement prices] When using the property request mechanism described above, the property information display device 10 can learn the conditions desired by the customer CS. Furthermore, based on the conditions desired by the customer CS, the property information display device 10 can accurately calculate and present to the client CL an appropriate price for acquiring the property. The following describes the method for calculating and presenting an appropriate price for acquiring the property to the client CL based on these desired conditions.

[0066] Figure 4 shows an example of the workflow for deriving the appropriate acquisition price of a property using the property information presentation system according to this embodiment. First, referring to the figure, we will explain the series of steps involved in calculating the appropriate acquisition price of a property and presenting it to the client CL.

[0067] (Step S530) First, the client terminal 20 receives desired profit information from client CL. Desired profit information is information about the profit that client CL hopes to receive when selling or leasing the property, and is specified by a direct amount or profit margin, etc. That is, desired profit information may be at least one of the desired profit amount or the desired profit margin.

[0068] (Step S540) The client terminal 20 transmits the desired profit information obtained from client CL to the property information display device 10.

[0069] (Step S550) Next, the property information presentation device 10 estimates the characteristics of a property for which a contract is likely to be concluded, based on the desired conditions obtained from the customer CS in step S520 and the history of past property sales (hereinafter sometimes referred to as transaction information). Preferably, the transaction information includes information on multiple customer CSs and multiple client CLs who conduct sales or leases of properties using the property information presentation system 1.

[0070] (Step S560) Next, the property information presentation device 10 calculates a fair purchase price based on the desired profit information obtained from client CL in step S540 and the characteristics of the property that are estimated to be eligible for a contract, which were estimated in step S550.

[0071] Here, the appropriate purchase price calculated by this embodiment takes into account not only the results of actual transactions but also the wishes of the customer (CS). The wishes of the customer (CS) and the actual transaction information do not necessarily need to be treated at the same level. For example, the desired price indicated in the customer's wishes may be different (higher) in the actual transaction. Therefore, according to this embodiment, it is preferable to estimate the conditions under which actual transactions will take place based on the customer's wishes and calculate the appropriate purchase price.

[0072] (Step S570) Next, the property information display device 10 identifies competing properties that correspond to the calculated appropriate purchase price and conditions. Competing properties are identified from among the properties currently available on the market. The properties available on the market may be identified by referring to information posted on websites, for example, via the internet.

[0073] (Step S580) The property information display device 10 transmits the transaction completion characteristic information estimated in step S550, the appropriate purchase price calculated in step S560, and the competing properties identified in step S570 to the client terminal 20. Note that steps S550, S560, and S570 only need to be performed if at least one of them is performed; it is not necessary for all of them to be performed.

[0074] (Step S590) The client terminal 20 presents the client CL with information based on the transaction completion characteristics information, appropriate purchase price, competing properties, etc., obtained in step S580.

[0075] Figure 5 shows a modified example of the operation flow for deriving the appropriate purchase price of a property using the property information presentation system according to this embodiment. The figure shows a modified example of the operation shown in Figure 4. This modified example differs from the example shown in Figure 4 in that processing begins when the desired conditions are received from the customer terminal 30. In describing this modified example, matters already explained with reference to Figure 4 will be omitted from the explanation by using the same reference numerals. Specifically, this modified example differs from the example shown in Figure 4 in that it further includes steps S510 and S520.

[0076] (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 information about the property's characteristics, such as location, floor plan, and year of construction, and the desired price. The desired price may be specified as a range determined by a lower limit and an upper limit.

[0077] (Step S520) The customer terminal 30 transmits the desired conditions obtained from the customer CS to the property information display device 10.

[0078] Figure 6 shows an example of a display screen when obtaining desired conditions from a customer or client using the property information presentation system according to this embodiment. This figure shows an example of a display screen for obtaining desired conditions in step S510 described above when receiving desired conditions from a customer CS. As an example of desired conditions, for example, desired conditions inferred using a learning model learned from past sales history or future predictions may be used. Desired conditions may also be entered by the client CL. Below, an example of when the conditions are entered by a customer CS will be described. Referring to the figure, an example of a desired conditions acquisition screen will be described. The customer CS enters their desired conditions by performing predetermined operations while checking the display screen D10. The display screen D10 includes symbols D11, D12, and D13 as screen components.

[0079] Code D11 is the part for specifying the desired area. The customer CS displays area candidates by operating the dropdown button code D11A, and selects the desired area from the displayed candidates. Area specification may be divided into multiple levels, such as first selecting a region like Kanto or Tohoku, and then setting the prefecture, city, town, etc. Note that the method of specifying the desired area is not limited to using a dropdown button, and other methods (for example, direct input) may be used.

[0080] Code D12 is the part that specifies the desired price. In the illustrated example, an example is shown in which the range of the desired price is specified by setting a lower limit and an upper limit. Specifically, the customer CS operates the dropdown button of code D12A to display candidates for the lower limit and selects the lower limit of the desired price from among the displayed candidates. The customer CS also operates the dropdown button of code D12B to display candidates for the upper limit and selects the upper limit of the desired price from among the displayed candidates. Note that the method of specifying the range of the desired price is not limited to the method using dropdown buttons, and other methods (for example, direct input) may be used. Furthermore, a method of specifying the median and then specifying the upper and lower limits may also be used. Moreover, the example of specifying the range of the desired price is not limited to the example shown, and a method of specifying only the median may also be used.

[0081] Code D13 represents the section for specifying the desired floor plan. In the illustrated example, an example floor plan is displayed, and the method for specifying the desired floor plan is shown by checking the checkboxes corresponding to the desired floor plan. Code D13A is a checkbox for selecting whether or not a 1LDK is desired. Code D13B is a checkbox for selecting whether or not a 2LDK is desired. Code D13C is a checkbox for selecting whether or not a 3LDK is desired. Customer CS specifies the desired floor plan by checking at least one of the checkboxes. Note that multiple checkboxes may be selected.

[0082] While I won't go into further detail, you can set various other desired conditions. Examples of other desired conditions include the availability of parking, the age of the building, whether pets are allowed, size, move-in date, and travel time to the nearest station.

[0083] Figure 7 shows an example of a display screen when acquiring desired profit information from a client using the property information presentation system according to this embodiment. This figure is an example of a display screen for acquiring desired profit information in step S530 described above. An example of the desired profit information acquisition screen will be explained with reference to this figure. Client CL inputs their desired profit information by performing predetermined operations while checking the display screen D20. In this figure, display screen D20A and display screen D20B are shown as examples of display screen D20.

[0084] Figure 7(A) shows display screen D20A as an example of a display screen when desired profit information is entered by desired profit amount. Display screen D20A includes symbol D21A as a screen component. The client identifies the desired profit information by entering the desired profit amount in the text box indicated by symbol D21A. Note that the identification of the desired profit amount is not limited to the example of entering it in a text box; other methods such as using a dropdown button may also be employed.

[0085] Figure 7(B) shows display screen D20B as an example of a display screen when desired profit information is entered by desired profit rate. Display screen D20B includes symbol D21B as a screen component. The client identifies the desired profit information by entering the desired profit rate in the text box indicated by symbol D21B. Note that the identification of the desired profit rate is not limited to the example of entering it in a text box; other methods such as using a dropdown button may also be employed.

[0086] Figure 8 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 to 7 will be explained. The functional configuration diagram shown in Figure 8 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 display control unit 113 and an operation reception unit 114. The calculation unit 11 also further comprises a proposal unit 117. The proposal unit 117 comprises a calculation unit 118 and a competing property identification unit 119. The operation reception unit 114 further comprises a desired condition acquisition unit 114A and a desired profit information acquisition unit 114B.

[0087] The desired conditions acquisition unit 114A acquires desired conditions. The desired conditions acquisition unit 114A may acquire inferred desired conditions using, for example, a learning model learned from past sales history or future predictions. Alternatively, the desired conditions acquisition unit 114A may acquire desired conditions from the customer terminal 30 or client terminal 20, etc., based on operations by the customer CS or client CL, etc. These desired conditions may also be requests from the customer CS regarding the purchase or lease of property.

[0088] The desired profit information acquisition unit 114B acquires desired profit information. The desired profit information acquisition unit 114B may, for example, acquire desired profit information from the client terminal 20 based on the operations of the client CL. Desired profit information can also be defined as information relating to the profit desired by the client CL who is selling or leasing the property. As described above, the desired profit information may be specified by the desired profit amount or by the desired profit rate.

[0089] The calculation unit 118 calculates a fair price for client CL to acquire a property based on the desired conditions acquired by the desired conditions acquisition unit 114A and the desired profit information acquired by the desired profit information acquisition unit 114B. More specifically, first, the calculation unit 118 estimates the characteristics of a property for which a contract is presumed to be concluded, based on the contract information, which includes information on past contracts concluded between customer CS and client CL, and the desired conditions acquired by the desired conditions acquisition unit 114A. This process is performed in step S550 described above. Subsequently, the calculation unit 118 calculates a fair price for client CL to acquire a property based on the estimated characteristics and the desired profit information acquired by the desired profit information acquisition unit 114B. This process is performed in step S560 described above.

[0090] The competing property identification unit 119 identifies competing properties from among those available on the market based on the desired conditions acquired by the desired conditions acquisition unit 114A. This process is performed in step S570 described above. Properties available on the market may include, as described above, properties listed on websites, for example, via the internet. Properties available on the market may also include properties being proposed to customer CS by client CL as property requests through the property information presentation system 1.

[0091] The display control unit 113 presents the client CL with the appropriate price calculated by the calculation unit 118 for the client CL to acquire the property. The display control unit 113 also presents the client CL with the competing properties identified by the competing property identification unit 119. The display control unit 113 controls the display for presentation to the client CL, and is therefore sometimes referred to as the presentation unit.

[0092] [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.

[0093] [Summary of Embodiments] According to the embodiment described above, the property information presentation device 10 comprises a desired conditions acquisition unit 114A, a desired profit information acquisition unit 114B, a calculation unit 118, and a display control unit 113. The desired conditions acquisition unit 114A acquires the desired conditions of a customer CS who purchases or leases a property. The desired profit information acquisition unit 114B acquires desired profit information regarding the profit desired by a client CL who sells or leases a property. The calculation unit 118 calculates an appropriate price for the client CL to acquire the property based on the desired conditions acquired by the desired conditions acquisition unit 114A and the desired profit information acquired by the desired profit information acquisition unit 114B. The display control unit 113 presents the appropriate price calculated by the calculation unit 118 to the client CL. By adopting such a configuration, the property information presentation device 10 can calculate an appropriate purchase price when selling or leasing properties such as land and buildings, and present it to the client CL.

[0094] Furthermore, according to the embodiment described above, the calculation unit 118 estimates the characteristics of a property for which a contract is likely to be concluded, based on the contract information, which includes information on contracts concluded between the customer CS and the client CL in the past, and the desired conditions obtained by the desired conditions acquisition unit 114A. Based on the estimated characteristics and the desired profit information, it calculates an appropriate price for the client to acquire the property. In other words, the calculation unit 118 also refers to information on contracts concluded in the past to calculate an appropriate price. By adopting such a configuration, the property information presentation device 10 can calculate an accurate appropriate price.

[0095] Furthermore, according to the embodiment described above, the transaction information referenced by the calculation unit 118 includes information on multiple customer CSs and multiple client CLs. In other words, the property information presentation device 10 also references information on client CLs and customer CSs other than the client CLs and customer CSs who are parties to the transaction, and calculates a fair price. By adopting such a configuration, the property information presentation device 10 can calculate a fair price with high accuracy.

[0096] Furthermore, according to the embodiment described above, the property information presentation device 10 further includes a competing property identification unit 119. The competing property identification unit 119 identifies competing properties from among properties circulating in the market based on the desired conditions acquired by the desired conditions acquisition unit 114A. The display control unit 113 presents the competing properties identified by the competing property identification unit 119 to the client CL. By adopting such a configuration, the client CL can make decisions regarding the acquisition of properties with greater accuracy by referring to the appropriate price calculated by the calculation unit 118 and competing properties.

[0097] Furthermore, according to the embodiment described above, the desired profit information is at least one of the desired profit amount or the desired profit margin. By adopting such a configuration, the client CL can present their wishes more flexibly and be presented with a more appropriate price that aligns with their wishes.

[0098] 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.

[0099] 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.

[0100] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. Furthermore, it is possible to use a combination of the above-described embodiments. [Explanation of Symbols]
