[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0008] The following describes embodiments of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments unless it contradicts the spirit of the invention. The order of each process constituting the flowchart described below is not limited to any order that does not cause contradictions or inconsistencies in the processing content, and it is also possible to omit some of the processes constituting the flowchart or to add new processes to each process constituting the flowchart, as long as it does not contradict the spirit of the invention. Furthermore, the device that is the main entity that executes each process constituting the flowchart can be changed to another device, as long as it does not contradict the spirit of the invention. In this case, it is possible to change the processing content so as not to cause contradictions or inconsistencies in the processing content.

[0009] <System> Figure 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a system according to an embodiment. System 10 includes at least one computer device. System 10 may also include a user terminal 1, a server device 2, and an administrator terminal 3. The user terminal 1, server device 2, and administrator terminal 3 are connected to each other via a communication network 4 so that they can communicate with one another. The number of user terminals 1 is not particularly limited, and there may be more than one.

[0010] Note that the system 10 may be composed of, for example, one computer device (standalone type), may be composed of one or more server devices and one or more terminal devices (client-server type), or may be composed of a host device and one or more guest devices (peer-to-peer type). Also, the server device 2 may function in a distributed manner across a plurality of computer devices. For example, instead of the server device 2, a distributed ledger technology such as blockchain may be used.

[0011] <User Terminal> The user terminal 1 is a terminal operated by the user of the system 10. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the user terminal according to the embodiment. The user terminal 1 includes a control unit 11, a RAM 12, a storage unit 13, an input unit 14, a display unit 15, and a communication interface 16, which are connected by a bus, respectively.

[0012] The control unit 11 is composed of a CPU and a ROM. The control unit 11 executes the program stored in the storage unit 13 to control the user terminal 1. The RAM 12 is a work area for the control unit 11. The storage unit 13 is a storage medium for storing programs and data. The control unit 11 performs arithmetic processing based on the program and data read from the RAM 12, and the data input by the input unit 14. The program may be stored in a recording medium such as a CD-ROM.

[0013] The display unit 15 has a display screen. The control unit 11 outputs a video signal for displaying an image on the display screen according to the result of the arithmetic processing.

[0014] The communication interface 16 can be connected to the communication network 4 wirelessly or by wire, and can transmit and receive data with other computer devices via the communication network 4. The data received via the communication interface 16 is loaded into the RAM 12, and arithmetic processing is performed by the control unit 11.

[0015] <Server device> FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the server device according to the embodiment. The server device 2 includes at least a control unit 21, a RAM 22, a storage unit 23, and a communication interface 24, which are connected by an internal bus.

[0016] The control unit 21 is composed of a CPU and a ROM, executes the program stored in the storage unit 23, and controls the server device 2. The control unit 21 also includes an internal timer for measuring time. The RAM 22 is a work area of the control unit 21. The storage unit 23 is a storage area for storing programs and data. That is, the storage unit 23 functions as a recording medium storing the program. The control unit 21 reads the program and data from the RAM 22, and performs program execution processing based on the information received from each of the user terminals 1.

[0017] <Administrator terminal> The administrator terminal 3 is a terminal operated by an administrator who manages or operates the system 10. As the administrator terminal 3, one having the same configuration as the user terminal 1 can be used. The administrator terminal 3 may include, for example, a control unit, a RAM, a storage unit, an input unit, a display unit, and a communication interface, which are connected by an internal bus.

[0018] The control unit is composed of a CPU and a ROM. The control unit executes the program stored in the storage unit and controls the administrator terminal 3. The RAM is a work area of the control unit. The storage unit is a storage medium for storing programs and data. The control unit performs arithmetic processing based on the program and data read from the RAM, and the data input at the input unit. The program may be stored in a recording medium such as a CD-ROM.

[0019] The following describes how System 10 can be used as a system for managing the status of negotiations between users and property owners. This system enables "real estate marketing automation," which centralizes property information and automates real estate marketing activities. For example, a user might negotiate and conduct business with property owners regarding multiple properties, buying, selling, or brokering real estate transactions. The user uses System 10 to manage the status of these negotiations with property owners.

[0020] <User Management Table> A user management table is configured in the storage unit 23 of the server device 2. The user management table stores, in association with a user, the address of a property, information on whether the latest property information in the property management table (described later) was displayed during the previous display control processing on the user terminal operated by the user (hereinafter referred to as "information on displaying the latest information"), and information on negotiations between the user and the property owner regarding the property (hereinafter referred to as "information on negotiations"). Examples of information on negotiations include the status of negotiations between the user and the property owner regarding the property (hereinafter also referred to as "negotiation status"). Negotiation status is information that identifies how far the negotiation has progressed. In addition, information on negotiations may also store the content and date and time of the most recent action (approach) taken by the user with the owner. The user management table has information registered for one or more users. One or more property addresses are associated and stored for one user. In addition, one negotiation status is associated and stored for one property address.

[0021] The statement that a user is associated with the address of a property includes cases where the user and property identification information that can identify the property are directly associated and stored, and where the property identification information and the address of the property are directly associated and stored.

[0022] Furthermore, the concept of "relating and storing" information A and information B includes not only cases where information A and information B are directly related and stored, but also cases where information A and information C are directly related and stored, and information B and information C are directly related and stored (i.e., cases where information A and information B are indirectly related and stored). This concept applies to cases other than when information A is a user and information B is the address of real estate.

[0023] The "user" stored in association with the property's address, etc., can be any information that can identify the user. If the user is an individual, it may be the individual's name; if the user is a corporation, it may be the corporation's name. Alternatively, the "user" stored in association with the property's address, etc., may be any identifying information that can identify the user (such as an account name or user ID).

[0024] Here, "real estate address" refers to a concept that includes both the residential address and the land number of the real estate, and may refer to either the residential address or the land number.

[0025] The "Information Regarding Display of Latest Information" in the user management table indicates whether or not the latest real estate information from the real estate management table was displayed during the previous display control process on user terminal 1 operated by that user. In other words, it indicates whether or not the real estate information displayed on user terminal 1 during the previous display process matches the real estate information held by the system, that is, the latest real estate information stored in the real estate management table.

[0026] For addresses where the "Need for Update" is recorded as "Not Necessary" in the real estate management table, if the "Information Regarding Display of Latest Information" in the user management table is "Displayed," the latest real estate information in the real estate management table is identified in step S24 of the display control process described later, and displayed on the display screen of user terminal 1 in step S27.

[0027] For addresses where the "Need for Update" is stored as "Not Necessary" in the real estate management table, if the "Information Regarding Display of Latest Information" in the user management table is "Not Displayed," then, instead of the information regarding the most recent real estate in the real estate management table, the information regarding the property immediately preceding the latest information is identified in step S24 of the display control process described later, and displayed on the display screen of user terminal 1 in step S27. In this case, if an update request is received in step S30 of the display control process described later, or if the information regarding the most recent real estate is sent from server device 2 to user terminal 1 as a predetermined process in step S31 described later (or if the information regarding the most recent real estate is displayed on user terminal 1), the "Information Regarding Display of Latest Information" in the user management table is updated from "Not Displayed" to "Displayed."

[0028] The "negotiation status" is not particularly limited, but examples include "planned approach," "approach in progress," "negotiation in progress," "cancelled / lost deal," and "approach stopped." Depending on the actual negotiation status, the "negotiation status" stored in the storage unit 23 of the server device 2 can be updated by operations on the user terminal 1 or by information processing by the server device 2.

[0029] <Real Estate Management Table> The storage unit 23 of server device 2 has a real estate management table configured. The real estate management table stores the real estate owner and whether or not there is a need to update the real estate information, associated with the real estate address. In addition, the real estate management table may also store the type of real estate (use such as house, apartment building, storage, office, shop, etc.), the structure of the real estate (number of floors, whether it is wooden, reinforced concrete, or steel frame), the floor area of ​​the real estate, or whether or not there is a mortgage, all associated with the real estate address.

[0030] "Whether or not there is a need to update the information on real estate" (hereinafter referred to as "the need for update") refers to whether or not the information on real estate stored in the system, that is, the information on real estate currently stored in the real estate management table, does not match, or may not match, the actual information on real estate, and therefore there is a need to update it. Information on real estate refers to information on items other than "the need for update" stored in the real estate management table, and examples include the owner of the real estate, the type of real estate, the structure of the real estate, the floor area of ​​the real estate, and whether or not there is a mortgage.

[0031] Furthermore, while the property information in the property management table may be updated, the system can retain historical data both before and after updates.

[0032] Incidentally, the real estate registration receipt book (including copies and data stored on storage media such as CD-Rs), which can be obtained by requesting disclosure of administrative documents from the Legal Affairs Bureau, contains the address where the registration was received (the address where the registration information was changed) and the content of the received registration (for example, transfer of ownership, transfer of rights, establishment of mortgage, cancellation of registration, registration concerning restrictions on disposition, etc.). By obtaining the real estate registration receipt book, it is possible to identify the address where the registration was received. Such addresses where registration was received become addresses (or properties) that require updating of real estate information. Therefore, at the stage when the real estate registration receipt book is obtained, the "need for update" corresponding to the address listed in the real estate registration receipt book is registered as "needed" in the real estate management table.

[0033] The real estate registration ledger may not always clearly show how real estate registrations have been updated. For example, the real estate registration ledger does not disclose the new owner of a property that has undergone a "transfer of ownership by inheritance." To find out the new owner, it is necessary to apply for a certificate of registered matters, for example, and confirm the contents of the registration. Once the certificate of registered matters is received, the "property owner" in the real estate management table is updated based on its contents, and the "necessity of update" in the real estate management table changes from "necessary" to "not necessary." In this way, when information about real estate is updated, such as the property owner, property type, property structure, property floor area, or whether or not a mortgage has been established, the "necessity of update" in the real estate management table changes from "necessary" to "not necessary."

[0034] <User Identification Process> The user identification process will now be explained. Figure 4 is a flowchart of the user identification process according to the embodiment.

[0035] The administrator operates the administrator terminal 3 to accept input for addresses that require updating of real estate information (step S1). The address entered here may be one or multiple addresses. The method for identifying the addresses that require updating of real estate information to be entered in step S1 is not particularly limited, but for example, addresses for which registration has been accepted in the real estate registration acceptance ledger obtained through an administrative document disclosure request can be entered.

[0036] In addition, the administrator terminal 3, server device 2, or other computer device can perform the following information processing to identify addresses that require updating of real estate information, which are the target of input in step S1. The administrator terminal 3, server device 2, or other computer device compares two images (e.g., aerial photographs, satellite images) taken from above the same area of ​​the ground at two different dates and times to identify the location of the change and identify the address corresponding to the identified location. This address can be used as the address that requires updating of real estate information, which is the target of input in step S1.

[0037] Addresses can be entered by operating the input section (keyboard) of the administrator terminal 3, or by importing PDF or CSV data of the real estate registration receipt book. The text information in the PDF data is converted into text information using the OCR function of the administrator terminal 3, and the address for which registration has been accepted is entered in step S1. Alternatively, the PDF data of the real estate registration receipt book entered in step S1 may be sent to the server device 2, and the text information in the PDF data may be converted into text information using the OCR function of the server device 2. The address for which registration has been accepted among the converted text information will be used to determine whether it matches the address of the real estate stored in the user management table in association with the user, as described in step S4 below.

[0038] In steps S1 and S2, the addresses where registrations were accepted in the real estate registration ledger obtained through the request for disclosure of administrative documents may be transmitted to administrator terminal 3 or server device 2 from a computer device other than administrator terminal 3. For example, administrator terminal 3 may make an online request for disclosure of administrative documents to a system managed and operated by the Legal Affairs Bureau, and the system managed and operated by the Legal Affairs Bureau may transmit data related to the real estate registration ledger to administrator terminal 3 or server device 2.

[0039] In step S1, the address whose real estate information needs updating is entered and sent from the administrator terminal 3 to the server device 2 (step S2). When the server device 2 receives the address (step S3), it identifies the address that matches the received address from the real estate addresses stored in association with the user in the user management table of the storage unit 23 of the server device 2 (step S4). In step S4, one or more addresses are identified.

[0040] Next, the user corresponding to the address identified in step S4 is identified (step S5) based on the correspondence between "users" and "real estate addresses" stored in the user management table. Then, the address identified in step S4 and the user identified in step S5 are associated and stored in the storage unit 23. Furthermore, in the real estate management table of the storage unit 23, the "need for update" for the address identified in step S4 is updated from "not needed" to "needed" (step S6). The association between the address identified in step S4 and the user identified in step S5 in step S6 may be stored in the user management table or in the real estate management table. The user identification process is completed by steps S1 to S6.

[0041] <Real Estate Information Update Processing> Next, we will explain the process of updating real estate information for the address identified in step S4. Figure 5 is a flowchart of the real estate information update process according to the embodiment. The timing of the execution of the real estate information update process is not particularly limited. The real estate information update process may be executed at predetermined intervals or at any arbitrary time.

[0042] The administrator can view the address identified in step S4, which was stored in the storage unit 23 in step S6, on the administrator terminal 3. Then, the administrator applies to the Legal Affairs Bureau for a certificate of registered matters for the address identified in step S4 and obtains the certificate of registered matters. The administrator checks the contents of this certificate of registered matters and, according to its contents, operates the administrator terminal 3 to input the updated real estate information for the address identified in step S4 (step S11).

[0043] The information about the modified property entered in step S11 is not particularly limited, but may include, for example, the property owner, property type, property structure, property floor area, or whether or not a mortgage has been established. For example, if ownership has been transferred for the address (or property) identified in step S4, the administrator will operate administrator terminal 3 to enter the new owner.

[0044] The input of real estate information in step S11 may be done by importing data from PDF or CSV data related to the registration certificate. Text information in the PDF data may be converted into text information using OCR functionality.

[0045] Applications for the issuance of a certificate of registered matters from the Legal Affairs Bureau can be made in person at the counter, by mail, or online via the system managed and operated by the Legal Affairs Bureau using administrator terminal 3 or server device 2. Furthermore, for the address identified in step S4, the application for the certificate of registered matters may be automatically executed by administrator terminal 3 or server device 2. Also, for the address identified in step S4, if there is input requesting an update of real estate information via user terminal 1 (as described later), the application for the certificate of registered matters may be made in person at the counter, by mail, online, or automatically by administrator terminal 3 or server device 2. It is also possible to receive data related to the issued certificate of registered matters online via the system managed and operated by the Legal Affairs Bureau using administrator terminal 3 or server device 2. The received data is used as input for step S11.

[0046] The entered property information is associated with the address identified in step S4 and sent to server device 2 (step S12). When server device 2 receives the property information (step S13), the property management table in server device 2 is updated with the property information corresponding to the address identified in step S4 (step S14). If ownership has been transferred, the "property owner" in the property management table is updated. In addition, along with the update of the "property owner," the "need for update" in the property management table is updated from "needed" to "not needed." Note that the "property owner" in the property management table may store not only the most recent owner but also past owners. Steps S11 to S14 complete the property information update process.

[0047] This section describes the process for controlling the display on user terminal 1. Figure 6 is a flowchart of the display control process according to this embodiment. The user operates user terminal 1 to log in to system 10. When logging in to system 10, the user enters their identification information (ID and account name) and password.

[0048] When a user logs into system 10, they operate user terminal 1 to send a request to server device 2 to display information about real estate (step S21). When server device 2 receives the display request (step S22), it identifies the address (or real estate) for which the user is managing the negotiation status (step S23). Specifically in step S23, the server device 2 refers to the user management table to identify the address stored in association with the user.

[0049] Next, identify the information regarding the property corresponding to the address identified in step S23 and / or the need for renewal (step S24). Specifically, refer to the property management table to identify the information regarding the property corresponding to the address identified in step S23 (e.g., the owner of the property, the type of property, the structure of the property, the floor area of ​​the property, whether or not there is a mortgage) and / or whether or not there is a need for renewal (hereinafter, property information, etc.).

[0050] The information regarding the real estate identified in step S24 is transmitted from the server device 2 to the user terminal 1 as information regarding the real estate corresponding to the address identified in step S23 (step S25). Next, the user terminal 1 receives the information regarding the real estate corresponding to the address identified in step S23 (step S26). The user terminal 1 generates a display image corresponding to the received information regarding the real estate and displays it on the display screen (step S27).

[0051] Figure 7 is an example of a display screen according to the embodiment. In step S27, the display screen 100 shown in Figure 7 is displayed. The display screen 100 shows the addresses 101 of multiple properties for which the user manages the negotiation status, information about the property corresponding to each of those addresses (for example, the property owner 102), and the date and time of the final approach 103 and the details of the approach. In addition, if the need to update the property management table 104 for any of those addresses is "needed," an icon 104a is displayed as information indicating that the property information needs to be updated. For addresses where the property information needs to be updated, the property information before the update is displayed.

[0052] Information indicating that real estate information needs updating is not particularly limited, as long as it is in a manner that makes it clear that it is information about the corresponding address. Furthermore, the format of the information is not particularly limited; it can be in the form of text that makes sense to the user and allows them to understand that "real estate information needs updating," or it can be a predetermined symbol, icon, or display method that indicates "real estate information needs updating." Text that makes sense to the user and allows them to understand that "real estate information needs updating" is sufficient if it makes sense to the user and allows them to understand that at least some of the real estate information needs updating, that some of that information has not been updated, or that some of that information has changed. Furthermore, a predetermined display method that indicates "real estate information needs updating" could include setting the background color of the address or real estate information that needs updating, or at least some of that information, to a predetermined color, or setting the color of at least some of the address or real estate information that needs updating to a predetermined color.

[0053] In Figure 7, an icon indicating that the real estate information needs updating is displayed, notifying the user of the need to update the real estate information. Here, "notifying the user of the need to update the real estate information" includes not only displaying the real estate information on the display screen, but also sending an email or push message from the server device 2 to the user terminal 1. In step S5, depending on the identification of the user corresponding to the address identified in step S4, "information indicating that the real estate information needs updating" may be sent to the user terminal 1 operated by that user via email or push message.

[0054] If information indicating that "there is a need to update the real estate information" is displayed on the display screen of the user terminal 1 in step S27, or if the user terminal 1 is notified by sending an email or push message, the user terminal 1 can input a request to update the real estate information by operating the user terminal 1. The input requesting an update to the real estate information can also be performed by pressing a predetermined button on the display screen in step S27, or by pressing a predetermined button on the page to which a hyperlink is attached in the email or push message sent from the server device 2 is located.

[0055] When a request to update information about real estate is entered into user terminal 1 (step S28), the request to update information about real estate is sent from user terminal 1 to server device 2 (step S29). When server device 2 receives the request to update information about real estate (step S30), a predetermined process is executed (step S31). Steps S21 to S31 complete the display control process.

[0056] In the real estate management table, if the "need for renewal" corresponding to the address identified in step S23 is "needed," then in step S24, the latest real estate information stored in the real estate management table (i.e., information about the real estate before renewal) is identified. In step S27, for the address identified in step S23, along with the information about the real estate before renewal and information indicating the need for renewal, an operation button to enable input of the renewal request in step S28 is displayed, or information on how to enable input of the renewal request in step S28 is displayed. In this case, as a prescribed process in step S31, the server device 2 may execute an online application for the issuance of a registration certificate to the system managed and operated by the Legal Affairs Bureau, or, after obtaining the registration certificate, as a prescribed process in step S31, the server device 2 may send information about the updated real estate to the user terminal 1, and the information about the updated real estate may be displayed on the display screen of the user terminal 1. Note that instead of applying for a registration certificate online, it is also possible to apply for a registration certificate by mail or at a counter.

[0057] If, in the real estate management table, the "need for update" corresponding to the address identified in step S23 is "not needed", and in the user management table, the "information regarding display of the latest information" corresponding to the address identified in step S23 is "not displayed", then in step S24, instead of the latest real estate information in the real estate management table, information about past real estate stored in the real estate management table (information about the real estate immediately before it was updated to the latest information) is identified. In step S27, for the address identified in step S23, along with the information about the real estate immediately before it was updated to the latest information and information indicating that there is a need to update to the latest information, an operation button to enable input of an update request in step S28 is displayed, or information on how to operate to enable input of an update request in step S28 is displayed. In this case, as a predetermined process in step S31, the server device 2 may transmit the latest real estate information stored in the real estate management table from the server device 2 to the user terminal 1, and the latest real estate information may be displayed on the display screen of the user terminal 1. In this case, the "information regarding display of the latest information" in the user management table is updated from "not displayed" to "displayed".

[0058] If, in the property management table, the "need for update" corresponding to the address identified in step S23 is "not needed", and in the user management table, the "information regarding display of the latest information" corresponding to the address identified in step S23 is "displayed", then in step S24, the latest property information stored in the property management table is identified. In step S27, the latest property information for the address identified in step S23 is displayed.

[0059] Thus, in steps S28 and S29, if a request to update information about real estate is entered into the user terminal 1, and the request to update information about real estate is sent from the user terminal 1 to the server device 2, the administrator or operator of system 10 may charge the user a fee as consideration for updating the information about real estate, or as consideration for applying for the issuance of a certificate of registered matters (including applications other than online account applications). System 10 may have a function to notify the user terminal 1 of the fee, or a function to settle the fee in response to an operation of the user terminal 1.

[0060] In the above embodiment, when the latest real estate information is not displayed on the user terminal 1, steps S28 to S30 are executed to perform a predetermined process for updating the real estate information. However, if the real estate information is updated in the real estate management table, steps S27 may be controlled to display the latest real estate information stored in the real estate management table on the display screen of the user terminal 1 without executing steps S28 to S30.

[0061] In the above embodiment, we described the application of the system of the present invention to a system for managing the status of negotiations between a user and a real estate owner. However, its use is not limited to any system that aims to manage information related to real estate.

[0062] The system stores a property's address in association with information about that property. It accepts input of addresses where the property information needs updating, and identifies addresses that match the stored addresses from among the input addresses, thereby identifying addresses (or properties) from the stored addresses that require updating of their property information. Furthermore, by accepting input of addresses where registration has been accepted in the property registration ledger obtained through an administrative document disclosure request, it is possible to identify addresses from the stored addresses where registration has been accepted in the property registration ledger.

[0063] By associating and storing the address of a property with the user who uses information related to that property, and by identifying the user corresponding to a specific address based on the stored information, it is possible to identify the user who manages or uses information about an address (or property) that needs updating.

[0064] By notifying the user terminal operated by the identified user that information regarding the real estate needs to be updated for the identified address, the user can be notified that information regarding the address (or real estate) stored in association with the user needs to be updated.

[0065] On a user terminal operated by a specified user, the system is controlled to display the specified address and information about the real estate corresponding to that address, based on the stored information. For real estate for which information indicating the need for updating has been notified, the system accepts input requesting that the real estate information be updated and displayed. When input requesting an update to the real estate information is received, the system is controlled to display the updated real estate information on the user terminal operated by the specified user. Thus, for addresses (or real estate) for which the user has indicated their intention to update and display the real estate information, the updated real estate information can be displayed on the user terminal.

[0066] On a user terminal operated by a specified user, the system is controlled to display the specified address and information about the real estate corresponding to that address based on the stored information. When information indicating the need to update the real estate information is received for a real estate, and the system receives input requesting that the real estate information be updated and displayed, the system executes a predetermined process to request the provision of information about the specified address. This allows the system to execute a predetermined process to request the provision of information for addresses (or real estate) for which the user has indicated their intention to update and display the real estate information.

[0067] By performing a prescribed process to request the provision of information regarding a specified address, it is possible to perform a prescribed process to request the provision of information regarding an address (or property) for which there is a need to update the information on the property.

[0068] Since the prescribed process involves transmitting an application for the issuance of a registration certificate to another computer device, it is possible to transmit an application for the issuance of a registration certificate for a prescribed address (or property).

[0069] By accepting input of new real estate information corresponding to a specified address, and by associating and storing the specified address with the input real estate information, it is possible to update the real estate information for addresses (or properties) where the real estate information has changed.

[0070] By associating and storing the address of a property with the user who uses the property information, and by identifying the user corresponding to a specific address based on the stored information, and by controlling the user terminal operated by the identified user to display the identified address and the updated property information corresponding to that address based on the stored information, it is possible to display the updated property information on the user terminal for addresses (or properties) among the stored addresses whose property information has been changed.

[0071] In a system that manages information about business negotiations between users and property owners, the system stores information about the property in association with the user, the property's address, and the property's owner; stores information about the property in association with the property's address; controls the user terminal operated by the user to display the address stored in association with the user, the property corresponding to that address, and the information about the property's negotiations between the user and the property owner based on the stored information; accepts input of addresses where the property information needs to be updated; identifies addresses among the accepted addresses that match the stored addresses; identifies the user corresponding to the identified address based on the stored information; accepts input of new property information corresponding to the identified address; and controls the user terminal operated by the identified user to display the newly entered property information as the property information corresponding to the identified address.
