[0009] The embodiments of the disclosed technology will be described below with reference to the attached drawings. The following embodiments are illustrative examples for explaining the disclosed technology and are not intended to limit the disclosed technology to these embodiments only. Furthermore, the disclosed technology can be modified in various ways as long as it does not deviate from its essence. In addition, the same reference numerals are used for the same components in each drawing whenever possible, and redundant explanations are omitted as much as possible.

[0010] <Overview of situations in which disclosure technology may be applied> Referring to Figure 1, we will explain the situations in which disclosure technology may be applied.

[0011] User U1, shown in Figure 1, is a user who requests the construction of a structure. User U1 is, for example, a national or local government that plans to construct a structure at a specified location. However, User U1 is not limited to national or local governments. For example, User U1 may be a private organization such as a company or an individual. In the following explanation of the disclosed technology, User U1 will be a local government (for example, each prefecture, city, ward, town, village, etc.) that plans to construct a bridge. However, the structure requested by User U1 is not limited to a bridge. For example, the structure may include structures related to transportation infrastructure other than bridges. As an example, the structure may include highways, tunnels, stations, railway lines, airports, etc. Furthermore, the structure may include structures other than transportation infrastructure. As an example, the structure may include houses, office buildings, schools, hospitals, parking lots, flood control facilities, energy supply facilities, communication facilities, etc.

[0012] Generally, the lifecycle of municipal structures such as bridges proceeds as shown in Figure 1, following the flow of "Project Planning (Phase F11)", "Design (Phase F12)", "Construction (Phase F13)", "Maintenance (Phase F14)", and "Demolition (Phase F15)". In "Project Planning (Phase F11)", a project plan is made for constructing the structure at the designated location. In "Design (Phase F12)", a detailed design of the structure is carried out. In "Construction (Phase F13)", the structure is constructed. In "Maintenance (Phase F14)", the structure is managed (for example, at least one of inspection, repair, and reinforcement). In "Demolition (Phase F15)", the structure is dismantled and removed when it is no longer needed.

[0013] In general, "design", "construction", and "management" are performed by different parties. However, if the same party performs "design", "construction", and "management", it is possible to optimize costs throughout the life cycle of a structure. Details of each phase will be described below.

[0014] In phase F11, user U1 (hereinafter also referred to as "municipality U1") develops a business plan for constructing a bridge at a predetermined location in the area under the jurisdiction of municipality U1. For example, municipality U1 determines the location where the bridge will be constructed. For example, municipality U1 prepares a basic design regarding the specifications of the bridge. For example, municipality U1 prepares a basic plan regarding the maintenance and management of the bridge. For example, municipality U1 formulates a basic plan concerning guidelines such as inspecting the bridge at predetermined intervals and performing repairs and reinforcements on the bridge. For example, municipality U1 calculates a budget for the bridge based on the basic design and basic plan. For example, municipality U1 obtains approval for the budget in the municipal council. Municipality U1 issues a request regarding the design of the bridge and the like to user U2.

[0015] User U2 is a company that performs design, construction, and management of bridges. User U2 (hereinafter also referred to as "company U2") may be, for example, a company jointly established by a design firm, a construction company, and a structure management company.

[0016] When a municipality requests the design and construction of a structure, generally different companies (for example, a separate design firm and a separate construction company) respectively handle the design and construction, and management of the structure is often performed by the municipality. However, due to various issues concerning the municipality (for example, demographic changes in the area under the municipality's jurisdiction, environmental changes, and changes in the municipality's financial condition, etc.), there is a possibility that the structure planned for construction will become unnecessary in the future. In particular, even for structures that are used for decades to hundreds of years such as bridges, they may become unnecessary in several years to several decades depending on various issues of the municipality.

[0017] Accordingly, Company U2 constructs a bridge to be leased to the local government U1. That is, Company U2 operates the bridge constructed at the request of the local government U1, and provides a service of leasing the bridge to the local government U1. More specifically, Company U2, which receives a request from the local government U1, designs and constructs the bridge at its own expense. The local government U1 pays a lease fee corresponding to the period of use of the bridge in order to receive the service. Accordingly, even if the bridge becomes unnecessary in the future due to various problems such as population dynamics, environmental changes, and changes in financial conditions, the local government U1 can stop using the bridge simply by canceling the lease agreement. This makes it possible to optimize the cost of the local government U1 over the life cycle of the bridge.

[0018] Further, since Company U2 collectively undertakes the design, construction, and management of the bridge, the local government U1 can place a collective order for the design, construction, and management, thereby simplifying ordering procedures. In addition, since costs that normally occur in a lump sum at the time of construction can be paid in installments in the form of lease fee payments, budget equalization can be achieved. Furthermore, since the bridge is managed by User U2, the local government U1 can reduce the burden of bridge management. This makes it possible to optimize the cost of the local government U1 over the life cycle of the bridge.

[0019] Further, since Company U2 collectively undertakes the design, construction, and management of the bridge, Company U2 can carry out the design, construction, and management by utilizing its own unique technologies. In addition, since Company U2 can receive regular lease fees from the local government U1, it can secure a constant source of income.

[0020] In phases F12 to F14, company U2 ​​will design, construct, and manage the bridge. First, in phase F12, company U2 ​​will be commissioned by local government U1 to perform a detailed design of the bridge. For example, company U2 ​​will calculate the cost required for the detailed design (hereinafter also referred to as "design cost"). For example, company U2 ​​will design the bridge specifications such as dimensions, shape, weight, and components. Also in phase F12, company U2 ​​will generate a plan regarding the schedule and cost of bridge management (hereinafter also referred to as "management plan") using disclosed technology. A detailed explanation of the management plan will be given later. Based on the management plan, company U2 ​​can consider whether to formally accept the commission for the design, construction, and management of the bridge. Also, if local government U1 is soliciting bids from companies to design, construct, and manage the bridge, company U2 ​​can consider whether to submit a bid based on the management plan.

[0021] In Phase F13, Company U2 ​​constructs the bridge. Company U2 ​​calculates, for example, the construction costs (hereinafter also referred to as "construction costs"). Company U2 ​​then creates a construction plan based on the design created in Phase F11. Company U2 ​​procures materials and constructs the bridge based on the construction plan.

[0022] In Phase F14, Company U2 ​​manages the bridge based on the management plan generated in Phase F12. For example, Company U2 ​​performs inspections of the bridge as part of its management at predetermined times. For example, Company U2 ​​performs repairs of the bridge as part of its management at predetermined times. For example, Company U2 ​​performs reinforcements of the bridge as part of its management at predetermined times.

[0023] In Phase F15, Municipality U1 terminates its lease agreement with Company U2 ​​regarding the bridge. Municipality U1 calculates the cost required to remove the bridge, which is no longer needed (hereinafter also referred to as the "removal cost"). Municipality U1 dismantles and removes the bridge. Alternatively, Company U2 ​​may calculate the removal cost. In this case, Company U2 ​​dismantles and removes the bridge.

[0024] <System Overview> Next, an overview of the information processing system of the disclosed technology will be described using Figure 2. The information processing system 100 consists of an information processing device 10, an information processing device 20, an information processing device 40, and a network N.

[0025] Information processing device 10 is an information processing device (e.g., a personal computer, tablet terminal, smartphone, etc.) used by local government U1. Local government U1 uses information processing device 10 to make a request to company U2 ​​regarding the construction of a bridge, etc. Information processing device 10 transmits information related to the request to information processing device 20 used by company U2, for example, via network N.

[0026] The information processing device 20 is, for example, a server. The information processing device 20 (hereinafter also referred to as "server 20") receives information regarding requests for bridge construction from the information processing device 10 via the network N. This information may include information regarding the basic design and basic plan of the bridge. The information processing device 20 generates a management plan.

[0027] The information processing device 40 is, for example, a server. The information processing device 40 (hereinafter also referred to as "server 40") is an information processing device that controls a component trading platform for trading bridge components. Server 40 is an information processing device used by user U3, who is the operator of the component trading platform. A detailed explanation of server 40 and the component trading platform will be given later.

[0028] Network N is not limited to, but includes, for example, the Internet, LAN, dedicated line, telephone line, Bluetooth (registered trademark), WiFi (registered trademark). Wi reless Fi This can be any of the following: (delity), other communication lines, or a combination thereof, and can be wired or wireless.

[0029] <Functional Configuration> Figure 3 shows an example of the functional configuration of server 20. As shown in Figure 3, server 20 includes a control unit 21 and a storage unit 31.

[0030] The control unit 21 includes an acquisition unit 22, a calculation unit 23, a generation unit 24, and a selection unit 25.

[0031] Each of the above components of the control unit 21 may be implemented, for example, by the communication interface 4 shown in Figure 11 (hardware configuration), or by the CPU 2 executing a program stored in memory 3 in addition to the communication interface 4. When the CPU 2 executes a program, the program may be stored in a storage medium. The storage medium storing the program may be a non-transitory computer-readable medium. The non-transitory storage medium is not particularly limited, but for example, USB ( U Universal S erial B (us) memory, or CD-ROM ( C impact D It may also be a storage medium such as an ISC ROM.

[0032] The acquisition unit 22 acquires schedule information 32 relating to the bridge management schedule, which includes the content of management to be carried out at predetermined intervals. The acquisition unit 22 may acquire the schedule information 32 by, for example, reading the schedule information 32 stored in the storage unit 31. The management to be carried out at predetermined intervals includes, for example, specific management carried out at predetermined timings after the completion of bridge construction (for example, inspection 10 years after the completion of construction, repair 20 years after, reinforcement 30 years after, etc.).

[0033] The schedule information 32 may be set by input by company U2 ​​(user), or it may be set based on predetermined information processing in an information processing device (e.g., server 20) operated by company U2. The schedule information 32 may include, for example, information about the management schedule set by company U2. Company U2 ​​may set the schedule based on the management schedule of bridges it has built in the past that are similar to the bridge to be built. Company U2 ​​may set the schedule based on the surrounding environment of the location where the bridge will be built. Company U2 ​​may set the schedule based on the budget of local government U1. The schedule set by company U2 ​​is input, for example, via an information processing device operated by company U2 ​​(which may be server 20, or an information processing device different from server 20), and stored in the storage unit 31 as schedule information 32.

[0034] Furthermore, the schedule information 32 may be generated by the server 20 based on predetermined information regarding the bridge to be constructed. The schedule information 32 generated by the server 20 is stored in the storage unit 31. Note that the method of generating the schedule information 32 is not limited to these, and any method of generation is acceptable as long as the schedule information 32 can be generated.

[0035] The calculation unit 23 calculates the management costs related to bridge management based on the schedule information 32 acquired by the acquisition unit 22.

[0036] An example of the calculation of management costs by the calculation unit 23 will be explained using Figure 4. Figure 4 is a diagram showing an example of data related to management costs according to one embodiment. This data may be data stored in the storage unit 31. In the example shown in Figure 4, the cost required for each type of inspection as a management measure is associated with that inspection. Also in the example shown in Figure 4, the cost required for each type of repair as a management measure is associated with that repair. Also in the example shown in Figure 4, the cost required for each type of reinforcement as a management measure is associated with that reinforcement.

[0037] The calculation unit 23 calculates the management cost corresponding to the management included in the schedule information 32, for example. For example, if the schedule information 32 includes "inspection A" and "repair A", the calculation unit 23 calculates the sum of the cost associated with inspection A (A yen in the example shown in Figure 4) and the cost associated with repair A (B yen in the example shown in Figure 4) as the management cost. The calculated management cost is stored in the storage unit 31 as cost information 34. The storage unit 31 may also record at least one of the following: information regarding design costs, information regarding construction costs, and information regarding demolition costs.

[0038] The generation unit 24 generates a plan (management plan) for bridge management, including the schedule and management costs.

[0039] Figure 5 shows an example of a management plan generated by the generation unit 24. In the example shown in Figure 5, a management plan P is generated that includes a schedule S, a cost list C, and bridge specifications B.

[0040] The generation unit 24 generates a management plan P that includes a schedule S, which lists the types of management in chronological order, based on the schedule information 32. In the example shown in Figure 5, the generation unit 24 generates a management plan P that includes a schedule S, which includes performing "inspection A" 10 years after the completion of bridge construction, "repair B" 20 years after, and "reinforcement C" 30 years after.

[0041] The generation unit 24 generates a cost list C in which the management costs calculated by the calculation unit 23 are recorded. In the example shown in Figure 5, the generation unit 24 generates a management plan P which includes a cost list C in which the management costs (X yen) calculated by the calculation unit 23 are recorded.

[0042] The generation unit 24 generates a management plan P that includes the bridge specifications B. The generation unit 24 generates the plan P that includes the bridge specifications B based on, for example, the building specifications information 35 stored in the storage unit 31 shown in Figure 3. The building specifications information 35 is information relating to the specifications of the bridge and is set by company U2. Alternatively, the building specifications information 35 may be set based on predetermined information processing in an information processing device (e.g., server 20) operated by company U2.

[0043] Through the above processing, Server 20 generates a management plan based on the schedule and costs associated with bridge management. As a result, Company U2, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, is able to create an appropriate management plan for bridge management. Furthermore, by creating this management plan, Company U2 ​​can consider whether to formally accept a request from Municipality U1 for the design, construction, and management of the bridge. Also, if Municipality U1 is soliciting bids from companies to design, construct, and manage the bridge, Company U2 ​​can consider whether to submit a bid based on this management plan.

[0044] Returning to Figure 3, the schedule information 32 may include schedule information for at least one of the maintenance activities performed on the bridge: inspection, repair, and reinforcement. In this case, the calculation unit 23 may calculate the maintenance costs for at least one of the maintenance activities: inspection, repair, and reinforcement.

[0045] This allows server 20 to generate a management plan that includes management costs for at least one of the following: inspection, repair, and reinforcement of the bridge. As a result, company U2 ​​can create a more detailed management plan depending on the type of bridge management required.

[0046] The schedule information 32 may be generated based on at least one of the following: importance information 36 regarding the importance of the bridge, usage forecast information 37 regarding the predicted use of the bridge, and design information 38 regarding the design of the bridge. The importance information 36, usage forecast information 37, and design information 38 may be stored in the storage unit 31. The importance information 36, usage forecast information 37, and design information 38 may also be information set by the local government U1 based on the results of surveys and other activities conducted by the local government U1.

[0047] Schedule information 32 may be, for example, convenience change information as importance information 36, and may be generated based on convenience change information regarding the change in convenience of the surrounding area due to the construction of the bridge. For example, if there are few existing bridges to be replaced by the bridge to be constructed, or if there are many surrounding facilities such as hospitals, it can be said that the convenience of the municipality U1 will improve with the construction of the bridge. That is, schedule information 32 may be set based on the importance of the bridge according to the number of existing bridges to be replaced or the number of surrounding facilities. For example, the importance may be generated inversely proportional to the number of existing bridges to be replaced by the bridge to be constructed. For example, the importance may be generated in proportion to the number of surrounding facilities. Schedule information 32 may also include schedule information 32 that includes frequency management according to importance.

[0048] The schedule information 32 may be, for example, traffic volume information as usage prediction information 37, and may be generated based on traffic volume information relating to the predicted traffic volume for the bridge to be constructed. The schedule information 32 may also be generated based on, for example, predictions of the number and types of vehicles (large vehicles, medium vehicles, and small vehicles, etc.) that will pass over the bridge to be constructed. That is, since the rate of deterioration of the bridge varies depending on the number and types of vehicles that pass over it, the schedule information 32 may include management that corresponds to predictions of the number and types of vehicles that pass over it.

[0049] The schedule information 32 may be generated, for example, based on design information 38 relating to the shape, dimensions, and / or materials used for the bridge to be constructed. That is, since the rate of deterioration of a bridge varies depending on its shape, dimensions, and / or materials used, the schedule information 32 may include management according to the shape, dimensions, and / or materials used.

[0050] This allows server 20 to generate a management plan that includes management costs, taking into account at least one of the importance information 36, usage forecast information 37, and design information 38. As a result, company U2 ​​can develop a more appropriate management plan for the management of the building.

[0051] The acquisition unit 22 may acquire deterioration prediction information 33 related to the prediction of bridge deterioration. The acquisition unit 22 may acquire the deterioration prediction information 33 by, for example, reading the deterioration prediction information 33 stored in the storage unit 31.

[0052] The deterioration prediction information 33 is generated by predetermined software. The deterioration prediction information 33 is generated, for example, by predetermined analysis program capable of evaluating the behavior of a structure using a unified method.

[0053] The predetermined analysis program predicts the deterioration status of a bridge at a predetermined time after its construction is completed, based on, for example, data on the amount of de-icing agent applied, data on temperature, data on humidity, data on wind direction and speed, data on rainfall, data on the shape of the bridge, data on the materials used in the bridge, and the aforementioned traffic volume information, among other things, using at least one of these.

[0054] The deterioration prediction information 33 may be time-series data generated based on the prediction result of the deterioration status at a predetermined time after the completion of bridge construction. The deterioration prediction information 33 may also be, for example, graph data in which the deterioration status is plotted in time series. The time-series data (graph data) may be automatically generated by a computer (which may be a server 20 or another information processing device) or created by company U2 ​​operating a computer. The time-series data (graph data) may be stored in the storage unit 31 as deterioration prediction information 33.

[0055] Furthermore, the deterioration prediction information 33 may include first deterioration prediction information for when management is performed before a problem occurs in the bridge, and second deterioration prediction information for when management is performed after a problem occurs in the bridge. The generation unit 24 may generate a management plan P in which the first deterioration prediction information and the second deterioration prediction information acquired by the acquisition unit 22 are associated.

[0056] Figure 6 shows an example of deterioration prediction information 33 included in the management plan P. In the example shown in Figure 6, the generation unit 24 generates a management plan P that includes first deterioration prediction information for when management is performed before a problem occurs in the bridge and second deterioration prediction information for when management is performed after a problem occurs in the bridge. In the example shown in Figure 6, the vertical axis represents the predicted value of the bridge's soundness. The soundness value is higher the less the bridge has deteriorated. In other words, the lower the soundness value, the greater the degree of deterioration of the bridge. In the example shown in Figure 6, the horizontal axis represents the elapsed time since the completion of the bridge's construction. In the example shown in Figure 6, the graph shown with a solid line represents the first deterioration prediction information for when management is performed before a problem occurs in the bridge. In the example shown in Figure 6, the graph shown with a dashed line represents the second deterioration prediction information for when management is performed after a problem occurs in the bridge.

[0057] In the example shown in Figure 6, the graph rises when bridge maintenance, such as repair and reinforcement, is carried out. Furthermore, in the example shown in Figure 6, it can be confirmed that the management cost when maintenance is performed before a problem occurs in the bridge is lower than the management cost when maintenance is performed after a problem occurs. Although not shown in Figure 6, the deterioration prediction information 33 may be included in the management plan P, associated with the schedule S, cost list C, and specifications B shown in Figure 5.

[0058] Through the above process, server 20 generates a management plan that associates first deterioration information (when management is performed before a problem occurs in the bridge) with second deterioration information (when management is performed after a problem occurs in the bridge). As a result, company U2 ​​can easily understand how the rate of bridge deterioration differs depending on the timing of management by reviewing the management plan.

[0059] The deterioration prediction information 33 may be managed for each or more components of the bridge, or for each component made of a material. For example, the deterioration prediction information 33 may be managed for each component of the bridge, such as columns, foundations, girders, and cables. As an example, if the bridge is a concrete bridge, a time-series deterioration prediction for each component may be managed, such as "Salt penetrates from the surface of the girder, causing rust to form inside after X years. After Y years, the corrosion expansion of the inside reinforcing steel increases, causing the surface concrete to spall." Furthermore, the content of the deterioration prediction information 33 may differ depending on the material of the bridge. For example, if the bridge is a concrete bridge, the deterioration prediction described above may be made, while if the bridge is a steel bridge, a different prediction may be made, such as "After K years, the bolt heads and corners of each component will rust. After L years, thinning will occur in some parts of the components." Furthermore, the generation unit 24 may generate a management plan that associates first deterioration information, which would be obtained if management were performed before a defect occurred, with second deterioration information, which would be obtained if management were performed after a defect occurred, for each of one or more components of the bridge or for each material of said component. In other words, the generation unit 24 may generate a graph, as shown in Figure 6, for each component or material.

[0060] As a result, server 20 generates a management plan that associates first deterioration information, which would be obtained if management were performed before a defect occurred, with second deterioration information, which would be obtained if management were performed after a defect occurred, for each or more components of the bridge or for each material of said components. Consequently, by reviewing the management plan, company U2 ​​can easily understand how the rate of deterioration differs for each or more components or for each material of the bridge components depending on the timing of management.

[0061] Returning to Figure 3, the calculation unit 23 may calculate the cost related to the bridge based on the calculated management cost and at least one of the design cost related to the bridge design, the construction cost related to the bridge construction, and the demolition cost related to the bridge removal. For example, as a preprocessing step before the calculation unit 23 calculates the cost related to the bridge, the acquisition unit 22 acquires the information stored in the storage unit 31 from among the cost information 34, the information related to the design cost, the information related to the construction cost, and the information related to the demolition cost. The calculation unit 23 calculates the cost related to the bridge by summing the costs corresponding to each piece of information acquired by the acquisition unit 22, for example.

[0062] Referring to Figure 5, an example of how the calculation unit 23 calculates costs related to a bridge will be explained. In the example shown in Figure 5, the calculation unit 23 calculates the sum of the design cost (V yen), construction cost (W yen), management cost (X yen), and demolition cost (Y yen) (Z yen) as the cost related to the bridge.

[0063] This makes it possible for company U2 ​​to create a comprehensive management plan that includes the costs borne by company U2, even if the company is solely responsible for the design, management (or demolition) of the bridge.

[0064] Returning to Figure 3, the acquisition unit 22 may acquire multiple schedule information 32 generated by a learning model L (for example, a model composed of a neural network, a model based on logistic regression, a model composed of a decision tree, and at least one machine learning model such as a support vector machine) that has learned based on past schedule information 32 regarding the bridge management schedule. The acquisition unit 22 inputs, for example, at least one of importance information 36, usage prediction information 37, and design information 38 regarding the bridge to be constructed to the learning model L. Based on the input information from the acquisition unit 22, the learning model L outputs multiple schedule information 32 regarding the bridge to be constructed. The acquisition unit 22 acquires the multiple schedule information 32 output by the learning model L.

[0065] The learning model L may be generated by the generation unit 24. The generation unit 24 generates the learning model L based, for example, on a plurality of past schedule information 32 acquired by the acquisition unit 22. The generated learning model L may be stored in the storage unit 31.

[0066] The calculation unit 23 may calculate multiple management costs based on the multiple schedule information 32 acquired by the acquisition unit 22. For example, the calculation unit 23 calculates a management cost for each of the multiple schedule information 32.

[0067] The selection unit 25 selects one management cost from among several management costs based on predetermined conditions for selecting management costs to be included in the management plan generated by the generation unit 24. For example, the selection unit 25 selects the lowest management cost from among several management costs based on the condition "the one with the lowest cost among the management costs calculated by the calculation unit 23." For example, the selection unit 25 selects the management cost with the smallest difference from the budget of local government U1 from among several management costs based on the condition "the one with the smallest difference from the budget of local government U1 among the management costs calculated by the calculation unit 23." Note that the predetermined conditions are not limited to these examples.

[0068] The generation unit 24 may generate a management plan that includes the management costs selected by the selection unit 25 and the schedule corresponding to those management costs.

[0069] Through the above process, server 20 generates a management plan that includes one management cost that satisfies predetermined conditions from among multiple candidate schedule information 32. As a result, company U2 ​​can create a management plan with appropriate management costs. Furthermore, since the schedule information 32 is generated by the learning model L, it becomes possible to reduce the effort required for company U2 ​​to create the schedule information 32.

[0070] <Action Processing> Next, the operation according to the embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 7 and 8. Figure 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing of the server 20 shown in Figure 2 according to the embodiment.

[0071] In step S11, the acquisition unit 22 of the server 20 acquires schedule information relating to the management schedule of the building, which includes the content of the management to be carried out at predetermined intervals.

[0072] In step S12, the calculation unit 23 of the server 20 calculates the management costs related to management based on the schedule information.

[0073] In step S13, the generation unit 24 of the server 20 generates a management plan for the management of the building, which includes a schedule and management costs.

[0074] Figure 8 is a flowchart showing another example of the processing of the server 20 shown in Figure 2 according to this embodiment.

[0075] In step S21, the acquisition unit 22 of the server 20 acquires multiple past schedule information related to the building management schedule.

[0076] In step S22, the generation unit 24 of the server 20 generates a learning model based on multiple past schedule information acquired by the acquisition unit 22.

[0077] In step S23, the acquisition unit 22 of the server 20 acquires multiple schedule pieces of information generated by a learning model that has learned based on past schedule information regarding the building management schedule.

[0078] In step S24, the calculation unit 23 of the server 20 calculates multiple management costs based on multiple schedule information.

[0079] In step S25, the selection unit 25 of the server 20 selects one management cost from among a plurality of management costs calculated by the calculation unit 23 based on predetermined conditions for selecting the management costs to be included in the management plan.

[0080] In step S26, the generation unit 24 generates a management plan that includes the management cost selected by the selection unit 25 and the schedule corresponding to that management cost.

[0081] <Component Trading Platform> As described above, Company U2, shown in Figures 1 and 2, is a user responsible for everything from the design to the management (or demolition) of bridges, and is the user that operates the bridges. In this respect, if Company U2 ​​can reduce the frequency of bridge management, it can lower the costs it incurs and increase profits from bridge operation. Therefore, in order to reduce the frequency of management, Company U2 ​​may construct the bridge using highly durable materials. That is, since bridges constructed with highly durable materials hardly deteriorate, Company U2 ​​can reduce the frequency of management such as inspection, repair, and reinforcement.

[0082] Furthermore, bridges constructed with highly durable materials can be used by residents of municipality U1 for decades to centuries with virtually no deterioration. However, even bridges that hardly deteriorate may become unnecessary in a few years to a few decades due to the various problems related to municipality U1, as mentioned above. Dismantling unnecessary bridges and discarding the highly durable materials that were used as part of them is not desirable from an environmental and economic standpoint.

[0083] Therefore, bridge components may be traded on a platform for trading components that were used as part of a structure (hereinafter also referred to as the "component trading platform"). The component trading platform is controlled by a server 40 used by user U3 (the operator of the component trading platform) as shown in Figure 2. User U3 (hereinafter also referred to as "operator U3") is an organization different from local government U1 and company U2. For example, operator U3 is a third-party organization different from local government U1 and company U2. This third-party organization may be a government agency such as the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.

[0084] Furthermore, operator U3 may be the same organization as company U2. In other words, the component trading platform may be operated by company U2. In this case, servers 20 and 40 shown in Figure 2 may be the same device. The component trading platform of the disclosed technology will be described below with reference to Figures 9 and 10.

[0085] The component trading platform PF shown in Figure 9 includes a database (database 51 shown in Figure 10) that stores information about components being traded. The information about components stored in database 51 includes, but is not limited to, identification information for identifying components (identification information 52 shown in Figure 10), bridge type information regarding the type of bridge the component was previously used as part of a bridge, management history information regarding the history of management performed on the bridge when the component was previously used as part of a bridge (management history information 53 shown in Figure 10), management cost information regarding the management costs incurred when the component was previously used as part of a bridge (management cost information 54 shown in Figure 10), contract information regarding the lease of the bridge between local government U1 and company U2 ​​(contract information 55 shown in Figure 10), dimensional information regarding the dimensions of the component, durability information regarding the durability of the component, material information regarding the material of the component, demolition information regarding the history of the bridge's demolition, emission information regarding greenhouse gas emissions when the component was previously used as part of a bridge, and listing information regarding the component's listing. This information is linked to each other and stored in database 51 of the component trading platform PF. This information may be accessible to some or all users of the component trading platform PF.

[0086] Figure 10 shows the functional configuration of the server 40 that controls the material trading platform PF. As shown in Figure 10, the server 40 comprises a control unit 41 and a database 51. The control unit 41 controls the material trading platform PF based on the information stored in the database 51 (in the example shown in Figure 10, identification information 52, management history information 53, management cost information 54, and contract information 55).

[0087] The control unit 41 includes an acquisition unit 42, an output unit 43, and a settlement unit 44.

[0088] Each of the above components of the control unit 41 may be implemented, for example, by the communication interface 4 shown in Figure 11 (hardware configuration), or by the CPU 2 executing a program stored in memory 3 in addition to the communication interface 4. When the CPU 2 executes a program, the program may be stored in a storage medium. The storage medium storing the program may be a non-transitory computer-readable medium. The non-transitory storage medium is not particularly limited, but for example, USB ( U Universal S erial B (us) memory, or CD-ROM ( C impact D It may also be a storage medium such as an ISC ROM.

[0089] The component trading platform PF is used in each phase shown in Figure 9: "Design (Phase F21)", "Construction (Phase F22)", "Management (Phase F23)", "Removal (Phase F24)", and "Component Distribution (Phase F25)". The control unit 41 of the server 40 controls the component trading platform PF and supports component-related transactions for multiple users utilizing the component trading platform PF.

[0090] For example, in at least one of the phases F21 to F25 shown in Figure 9, the acquisition unit 42 shown in Figure 10 acquires identification information for identifying a component from the database 51. The acquisition unit 42 also acquires management information (e.g., management history information or management cost information) related to the management of the component when it was used as part of a building, from the database 51. The output unit 43 outputs the acquired identification information and management information in association. The output unit 43 outputs the identification information and management information in association to an information processing device of a user accessing the component trading platform PF. This allows the user to easily check detailed information regarding the management of the component that was used as part of a building.

[0091] Phase F21 is the phase in which the detailed design of the bridge is carried out. That is, Phase F21 is a phase similar to Phase F12 shown in Figure 1. In Phase F21, Company U2 ​​accesses the component trading platform PF to search for components. Company U2 ​​searches for components suitable for the designed bridge, for example. Company U2 ​​may design the bridge based on the information of the components found through the search. Company U2 ​​may design the bridge based on at least one of the following, for example, dimensional information, durability information, material information, and emission information.

[0092] Phase F22 is the phase in which the bridge is constructed. That is, Phase F22 is the same phase as Phase F13 shown in Figure 1. In Phase F22, Company U2 ​​accesses the component trading platform PF to purchase components to be used in the bridge to be constructed. Company U2 ​​may also access the component trading platform PF to rent components to be used in the bridge to be constructed. That is, the component trading platform PF may be a platform where components can be purchased or rented. This makes it possible for Company U2 ​​to easily procure components to be used in the bridge. In addition, in Phase F22, Company U2 ​​may register bridge type information of the constructed bridge in the component trading platform PF. This information may be accessible to some or all users of the component trading platform PF.

[0093] Phase F23 is the phase in which bridge management is carried out. In other words, Phase F23 is the same phase as Phase F14 shown in Figure 1. In Phase F23, if it is determined during bridge inspections that a component needs to be replaced due to deterioration, Company U2 ​​accesses the component trading platform PF to search for a replacement component. Company U2 ​​then purchases or rents a suitable replacement component. This allows Company U2 ​​to easily procure replacement components even if it discovers components that need replacing during bridge inspections.

[0094] Furthermore, in Phase F23, Company U2 ​​may register information regarding the details of management such as inspection, repair, and reinforcement (management history information) or information regarding the costs incurred for management (management cost information) on the component trading platform PF. This information may be accessible to some or all users of the component trading platform PF.

[0095] Furthermore, in Phase F23, the lease payment for the bridge may be made from the local government U1 to company U2 ​​on the component trading platform PF. In other words, the component trading platform PF may be a platform capable of settling lease payments. This makes it possible to smoothly settle lease payments between local government U1 and company U2. More specifically, the acquisition unit 42 shown in Figure 10 acquires contract information regarding the lease of the bridge between local government U1 and company U2 ​​from the database 51. The settlement unit 44 settles the lease on the component trading platform PF based on the contract information. As an example, and not an limitation, if the contract information includes information regarding the timing and amount of lease payments, the settlement unit 44 executes a settlement process to ensure that the amount is paid from local government U1 to company U2 ​​at the appropriate time.

[0096] Phase F24 is the phase in which the bridge is removed. In other words, Phase F24 is the same phase as Phase F15 shown in Figure 1. In Phase F24, the local government U1 or company U2 ​​dismantles the bridge. The local government U1 or company U2 ​​disposes of any unusable components (e.g., components with a high degree of deterioration) that were used in the dismantled bridge. In Phase F24, the local government U1 or company U2 ​​may also return any borrowed components to their owners. Before returning the components, an assessment of their soundness (e.g., an assessment of the degree of deterioration) may be conducted. When returning the components, the local government U1 or company U2 ​​may register information regarding the component's soundness and the return destination (the component's owner) on the platform PF. In Phase F24, the local government U1 or company U2 ​​may also register information about the bridge's dismantling on the component trading platform PF. This dismantling information may be accessible to some or all users of the component trading platform PF.

[0097] Phase F25 is the phase in which reusable components are put back into circulation. In Phase F25, reusable components (e.g., components that are not deteriorated and components with a low degree of deterioration) from the components used in the bridge dismantled in Phase F24 are put up for sale on the component trading platform PF by the local government U1 or company U2. Information regarding the listing of reusable components may be registered in the component trading platform PF's database 51. This listing information may be accessible to some or all users of the component trading platform PF. Components with a low degree of deterioration may be repaired or reinforced before being put up for sale.

[0098] The component trading platform (PF) may be used by companies that manufacture new components (hereinafter also referred to as "manufacturing companies"). Manufacturing companies can list the components they manufacture on the component trading platform (PF). Manufacturing companies may register information about the components they manufacture as listing information on the component trading platform (PF). Such information may be accessible to some or all users of the component trading platform (PF). Manufacturing companies may sell the registered components on the component trading platform (PF).

[0099] The component trading platform (PF) may be used by companies that lease components (hereinafter also referred to as "leasing companies"). Leasing companies can list components they own on the component trading platform (PF). Leasing companies may register information about their owned components as listing information on the component trading platform (PF). Such information may be accessible to some or all users of the component trading platform (PF). Leasing companies may enter into lease agreements for registered components on the component trading platform.

[0100] <Hardware Configuration> Next, with reference to Figure 11, the hardware configuration of each device related to the information processing device 20 and the information processing device 40 will be described.

[0101] Hardware 1 consists of, but is not limited to, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 2, memory 3, communication interface 4, and input / output interface 5, all interconnected by a bus 6.

[0102] CPU2 executes various calculations related to the operation of each piece of hardware according to the program stored in memory3, and performs tasks such as acquiring and generating information.

[0103] Memory 3 also stores data necessary for the CPU 2 to perform various processes. Memory 3 consists of, for example, ROM (Read Only Memory) and RAM (Random Access Memory). The storage unit 31 shown in Figure 3 corresponds to Memory 3.

[0104] The communication interface 4 transmits and receives various types of data with other hardware according to instructions from the CPU 2. This communication may be performed via wired or wireless connection, and any communication protocol may be used as long as communication between the components is possible.

[0105] The input / output interface 5 includes input devices for inputting various operations to each piece of hardware, and output devices for outputting processing results processed by each piece of hardware. The input / output interface 5 may have the input and output devices integrated, or they may be separated into separate input and output devices.

[0106] Input devices include, but are not limited to, hardware keys such as touch panels, touch displays, and keyboards, pointing devices such as mice, cameras (for operation input via eye movements), and microphones (for operation input via voice). Output devices include, but are not limited to, touch panels, touch displays, monitors (for which examples include, but are not limited to, liquid crystal displays, OLEDs (Organic Electroluminescence Displays), etc.), head-mounted displays (HDMs), projection mapping, holograms, devices capable of displaying images or text information in air (or a vacuum), speakers (for audio output), printers, etc. These output devices may also be capable of displaying data in 3D.

[0107] <Variation> The above embodiments or examples are provided to facilitate understanding of the disclosed technology and are not intended to limit its scope. The disclosed technology may be modified or improved without departing from its spirit, and its equivalents are also included. Furthermore, the disclosed technology can form various disclosures by appropriately combining the multiple components disclosed in the above embodiments or examples. For example, some components may be removed from all the components shown in the embodiments. Moreover, components may be appropriately combined in different embodiments.

[0108] In the above embodiment, it was explained that the local government U1 pays a lease fee to company U2 ​​according to the period of use of the bridge, but the lease fee may be variable. For example, local government U1 may pay the lease fee as compensation for the design, construction, and management of the bridge during a predetermined period (hereinafter also referred to as "Period A") from the time the construction of the bridge is completed. If local government U1 continues to use the bridge after the expiration of Period A (i.e., after the payment of compensation for the design and construction of the bridge has been completed), it may pay the lease fee as compensation for management. Furthermore, if local government U1 terminates the bridge lease agreement during Period A, it may be required to pay a penalty to company U2.

[0109] Company U2 ​​may securitize and sell its right to receive lease payments from municipality U1. This would enable Company U2 ​​to quickly recover the initial costs incurred in constructing the bridge. Furthermore, the trading of these right to receive payments may be conducted through the component trading platform PF shown in Figure 9. This would allow Company U2 ​​to conduct these transactions smoothly.

[0110] In the embodiments described above, the management plan includes, but is not limited to, a management schedule and the costs corresponding to said schedule. The management plan may further include, for example, at least one of a design schedule and the design costs corresponding to said schedule, a construction schedule and the construction costs corresponding to said schedule, and a demolition schedule and the demolition costs corresponding to said schedule. The schedules included in the management plan may be set by input from enterprise U2 (user) or based on predetermined information processing in an information processing device (e.g., server 20) operated by enterprise U2.
