Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an information processing system, an information processing method, and a program. [Background technology]

[0002] A device has been disclosed that allows a user to centrally manage accounts by storing identification information for identifying a user in association with account information of a financial institution held by the user (Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2017-215700 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The device described in Patent Document 1 searches for account information corresponding to identification information from a storage device that stores identification information for identifying a user and account information of financial institutions held by the user in association with each other, based on a query request in which the user clearly indicates the identification information. From the searched account information, the device selects account information that is set to allow financial transactions. This allows the device to centrally manage user account information using predetermined identification information (e.g., My Number) provided by a public institution, and to present account information in response to a user's request.

[0005] However, with the device described in Patent Document 1, when a user who holds an account dies, information about that user (in this case, account information) cannot be provided to other users, so there was a risk that the information of the deceased person would not be properly handed over to other users.

[0006] Therefore, in order to solve the above problem, the present invention aims to provide a system that transmits information about a deceased user to other users based on information indicating the death of a user. [Means for solving the problem]

[0012] A takeover system 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. However, the embodiment described below is merely an example, and is not intended to exclude various modifications or application of techniques not specifically described below. In other words, the present invention can be implemented by modifying it in various ways or combining each embodiment without departing from the spirit of the invention. In addition, in the following description of the drawings, the same or similar parts are denoted by the same or similar reference numerals.

[0013] ===Overview of Handover System 10=== The handover system 10 is a system that, for example, when the death of a deceased user (hereinafter referred to as the deceased person) is registered by a public institution, transmits information about the deceased person (hereinafter referred to as the deceased person information) to a terminal device of a previously registered user.

[0014] Here, the deceased person information may include information on inheritance from the deceased person to surviving family members (hereinafter referred to as inheritance information), such as information on real estate owned by the deceased person, information on the deceased person's financial institution accounts, etc. The deceased person information may also include information on the deceased person that is not subject to inheritance (hereinafter referred to as non-inheritance information), such as messages from the deceased person to other users.

[0015] The takeover system 10 may also execute processes related to inheritance (hereinafter referred to as inheritance processes), such as a process of sending inheritance information to the surviving family members and a process for the surviving family members to receive the deceased person's account related to inheritance. The takeover system 10 may also execute processes related to non-inheritance (hereinafter referred to as non-inheritance processes), such as a process of sending non-inheritance information to a predetermined user (e.g., the surviving family members or friends and acquaintances of the deceased person) and a process of deleting accounts related to non-inheritance information. Hereinafter, for convenience, the surviving family members and friends and acquaintances of the deceased person may be collectively referred to as "the surviving family members and others."

[0016] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of a takeover system 10. As shown in FIG. 1, the takeover system 10 includes, for example, a takeover server 100, user terminal devices 200 and 300, and an administrative server 400. The takeover server 100, the user terminal devices 200 and 300, and the administrative server 400 are communicatively connected via a network N. The terminal device 200 is at least one of a terminal device of a surviving family member or a friend or acquaintance of the deceased person. The terminal device 300 is the terminal device of the deceased person.

[0017] Although the terminal device 200 is shown as being configured from a single terminal device, the terminal device 200 may be configured from multiple terminal devices. In other words, the deceased person can provide the deceased person information that was created before his / her death to multiple surviving family members and friends and acquaintances of the deceased person through the takeover server 100.

[0018] The administrative server 400 is a system that provides administrative services operated by public institutions such as a country, a prefecture, or a city, town, or village. That is, the takeover server 100 can acquire various information about a user from the administrative server 400, for example, by information that can identify the user (hereinafter, referred to as identification information). The identification information is, for example, a My Number that is assigned to each person who has a resident record, a resident record code that is assigned to each person recorded in the resident basic register, etc. In addition, the various information about a user may include, for example, information indicating the death of a deceased person (hereinafter, referred to as death information), information about the relationship between the deceased and the surviving family members (hereinafter, referred to as relationship information), information about real estate registration, etc.

[0019] Next, an overview of the processing of the takeover system 10 will be described with reference to Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a diagram showing an overview of the processing of the takeover system 10.

[0020] First, in step S10, the deceased person terminal 300 accepts operational input from the deceased person before his / her death and transmits the deceased person information to the takeover server 100. In step S11, the takeover server 100 stores the deceased person information in the storage unit 110.

[0021] Next, in step S12, the takeover server 100 requests the death information of the deceased person from the administrative server 400, for example, by an API (Application Programming Interface), based on information capable of identifying the deceased person (hereinafter, referred to as deceased person identification information). Next, in step S13, the administrative server 400 transmits the death information to the takeover server 100.

[0022] Next, in step S14, the takeover server 100 confirms that the deceased person has died based on the death information. The takeover server 100 transmits a notice of the death of the deceased person (hereinafter referred to as a death notice) to the terminal devices 200 of the surviving family members and friends and acquaintances of the deceased who were registered before the deceased's death. The death notice may be, for example, an email, a pop-up display on the screen of a dedicated application, a login screen to the takeover server 100, or the like.

[0023] Next, in step S15, the terminal device 200 acquires the death notification. In step S16, the terminal device 200 accepts an operation input by the user and transmits a request for deceased person information according to inheritance processing or non-inheritance processing to the takeover server 100. Details of the inheritance processing and non-inheritance processing will be described later.

[0024] Next, in step S17, the takeover server 100 transmits the deceased person information corresponding to the inheritance processing or the non-inheritance processing to the terminal device 200. In step S18, the terminal device 200 displays the deceased person information on the display unit 1007. This allows the user to obtain various information related to the deceased person by a simple procedure.

[0025] === Configuration of takeover server 100 === The configuration of the takeover server 100 will be described with reference to Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the takeover server 100. As shown in Fig. 3, the takeover server 100 includes, for example, a storage unit 110, an acquisition unit 120, a transmission unit 130, a display processing unit 140, a determination unit 150, and an execution processing unit 160.

[0026] The storage unit 110 stores, for example, user information D111. The user information D111 will be described with reference to FIG. 4. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the user information D111. The user information D111 includes, for example, inheritance information and non-inheritance information related to the user that are associated with the user. As shown in FIG. 4, the user information D111 may include, for example, items of [User ID], [Inheritance Information], and [Non-Inheritance Information].

[0027] [User ID] is, for example, an item including a user ID that is identification information of a user. Hereinafter, the user ID of a user who becomes a deceased person may be referred to as a "deceased person ID," and the user ID of a user who becomes a surviving family member may be referred to as a "surviving family member ID." The user ID is, for example, a code that is uniquely assigned to each user, and is assigned to a user newly registered in the takeover server 100. The user ID may be, for example, the user's My Number or resident card code.

[0028] [Inheritance information] is, for example, an item corresponding to the [User ID] item, and includes inheritance information registered by the user. Inheritance information may be, for example, information about real estate owned by the deceased, information about the deceased's financial institution accounts, information about electronic money accounts, and information about other official procedures that require identity authentication.

[0029] [Inheritance non-information] is, for example, an item corresponding to the [User ID] item, and including inheritance non-information registered by the user. Inheritance non-information is, for example, information about messages from the deceased person to other users, information about messaging service accounts, etc.

[0030] The user information D111 stored in the storage unit 110 does not have to be stored in the takeover server 100, and may be stored, for example, in a device different from the takeover server 100. In this case, the takeover server 100 may acquire the user information D111 from the device.

[0031] The acquisition unit 120 acquires various information between, for example, the terminal devices 200 and 300 and the administrative server 400. The transmission unit 130 transmits various information to, for example, the terminal devices 200 and 300 and the administrative server 400.

[0032] The display processing unit 140 generates, for example, various screens as shown in Fig. 9 to Fig. 16. The display processing unit 140 executes, for example, a process for displaying the generated screens on the display units of the terminal device 200 and the terminal device 300. Examples of the various screens will be described later.

[0033] The determination unit 150 determines whether or not the deceased and the surviving family have a predetermined relationship based on, for example, relationship information described later. In other words, the determination unit 150 determines whether or not the surviving family can inherit the assets of the deceased. Here, the predetermined relationship (for example, within the third degree of kinship with the deceased) may be preset by, for example, the deceased, or may not be. This makes it possible to prevent impersonation of the surviving family, and therefore makes it possible to appropriately provide information regarding the assets of the deceased to the surviving family. Note that, although the takeover server 100 has been described as having the determination unit 150, this is not limited thereto, and for example, the administrative server 400 may have the function of the determination unit 150.

[0034] The execution processing unit 160 executes, for example, the inheritance processing or the non-inheritance processing selected by the user's operation input. This allows important information of the deceased person to be handed over to the surviving family members. The inheritance processing and the non-inheritance processing will be described below.

[0035] The inheritance process may include, for example, a process of transmitting inheritance information to the surviving family members, and a process for the surviving family members to receive the deceased person's account related to the inheritance. The inheritance process may be executed based on information indicating the content of the inheritance process selected by the user's operation input (hereinafter referred to as inheritance processing information) in accordance with information indicating the result of the determination made by the determination unit 150 based on the relationship information (hereinafter referred to as determination result information). Furthermore, the inheritance process may, for example, transmit relationship information to a specified service provider via the transmission unit 130 based on the inheritance processing information, thereby causing the service provider to execute a specified process on the deceased person's account held by the service provider.

[0036] Specifically, when the service provider is a bank, the execution processing unit 160 may transmit, for example, the death information and relationship information of the deceased to a bank system (not shown) by API. The execution processing unit 160 may then request the bank system to transmit information related to the account of the deceased by API. Here, the information related to the account (account content information) is, for example, information including the account name, account type, account number, and account balance. This allows the surviving family of the deceased to obtain information about the bank account of the deceased while alive, which allows smooth division negotiations for the surviving family. Similarly, the execution processing unit 160 may request, by API, the system of a public institution that manages a fixed asset ledger to transmit detailed information related to the real estate of the deceased (account content information). This allows the surviving family of the deceased to obtain information about the real estate owned by the deceased while alive, which allows smooth division negotiations for the surviving family.

[0037] Specifically, when the service provider is a business that provides electronic money (value information), the execution processing unit 160 may transmit, for example, information on the death of the deceased, relationship information, information on the account of the deceased, and information on the account of the surviving family to the system of the business (not shown) by API. Then, the execution processing unit 160 may request, for example, by API, the system of the business that provides electronic money to transfer the electronic money linked to the account of the deceased to the account of the surviving family. This allows the surviving family, who have the status of heir of the deceased, to inherit the property of the deceased. Note that the execution processing unit 160 may, for example, process the electronic money linked to the account of the deceased to be transferred to the bank account of the surviving family. This can improve the convenience of the user.

[0038] The non-inheritance process is, for example, a process of transmitting non-inheritance information to the terminal device 200 through the transmission unit 130. Specifically, the non-inheritance process may be, for example, a process of transmitting information on an account of a messaging service to the terminal device 200. This allows the deceased person's wishes regarding the handling of messaging services to be fulfilled while reducing the workload of the surviving family members after the death. Specifically, the non-inheritance process may be, for example, a process of transmitting death information to a bank system by an API and requesting the bank system to disable the use of the account of the deceased person when the service provider is a bank. This allows the workload of the surviving family members after the death of the deceased person to be reduced. Specifically, the non-inheritance process may be, for example, a process of transmitting death information to a bank system by an API and requesting the bank system to provide the account number of the account of the deceased person when the service provider is a bank. This allows the workload of the surviving family members after the death of the deceased person to be reduced.

[0039] === Configuration of Terminal Devices 200, 300 === The configuration of the terminal devices 200 and 300 will be described with reference to FIG. 5. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the terminal devices 200 and 300. The terminal devices 200 and 300 display various screens on the display unit 1007 based on information acquired from the takeover server 100, for example. The terminal devices 200 and 300 include functional units, for example, a storage unit 210, an acquisition unit 220, a display processing unit 230, and a transmission unit 240. The storage unit 210 stores various information, for example. The acquisition unit 220 acquires information on various screens from the takeover server 100, for example. The display processing unit 230 displays the acquired information on the various screens on the display unit 1007, for example. The transmission unit 240 transmits various information to the takeover server 100, for example.

[0040] ===Configuration of administrative server 400=== The configuration of the administrative server 400 will be described with reference to Fig. 6. Fig. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the administrative server 400. As shown in Fig. 6, the administrative server 400 includes, for example, a storage unit 410, an acquisition unit 420, a display processing unit 430, and a transmission unit 440.

[0041] The storage unit 410 stores, for example, personal information D411. The personal information D411 will be described with reference to FIG. 7. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the personal information D411. The personal information D411 includes, for example, death information and family register information associated with each resident. As shown in FIG. 7, the personal information D411 may include, for example, items of [Resident ID], [Death Information], and [Family Register Information].

[0042] [Resident ID] is an item including, for example, a resident ID that is identification information of a resident. The resident ID may be, for example, a code such as a resident's My Number or a resident card code.

[0043] [Death information] is, for example, an item that is associated with the [Resident ID] item and includes information regarding whether or not the resident is deceased.

[0044] [Family register information] is, for example, an item that corresponds to the [Resident ID] item and includes information related to the family register (for example, a digital family register). Here, the family register information may include relationship information indicating the relationship between the deceased and the surviving family members.

[0045] The personal information D411 stored in the storage unit 110 does not have to be stored in the administrative server 400, and may be stored, for example, in a device different from the administrative server 400. In this case, the administrative server 400 may acquire the personal information D411 from that device.

[0046] The acquisition unit 420 acquires, for example, various pieces of information from the takeover server 100. The display processing unit 430 displays, for example, the acquired various pieces of information on the display unit 405a. The transmission unit 440 transmits, for example, the various pieces of information to the takeover server 100.

[0047] === Processing procedure of handover system 10 === <<Procedures leading to inheritance settlement>> With reference to Figs. 8 to 16, a processing procedure until the inheritance process is executed in the takeover system 10 will be described. Fig. 8 is a flow diagram showing an example of a processing procedure until the inheritance process is executed in the takeover system 10. Figs. 9 to 11 are screen examples for the deceased person to set various information. Fig. 12 is a screen example for the bereaved family to log in to the takeover server 100. Fig. 13 is a screen example showing a list of various information set by the deceased person for the bereaved family. Fig. 14 is a screen example showing the handover contents of the messaging service of the deceased person to the bereaved family. Fig. 15 is a screen example showing the handover contents of the transportation money of the deceased person to the bereaved family. Fig. 16 is a screen example showing the disclosure contents of the real estate of the deceased person to the bereaved family. In the following, for convenience, in this procedure, the user is referred to as the "bereaved family", the terminal device 200 is referred to as the "bereaved family terminal 200", and the terminal device 300 is referred to as the "deceased person terminal 300".

[0048] First, a procedure in which the takeover server 100 stores the deceased person ID, the deceased person information, and the bereaved family ID (bereaved family identification information) in steps S100 to S104 will be described.

[0049] In step S100, the deceased person terminal 300, for example, accepts an operational input from the deceased person while alive, and acquires a deceased person ID from the deceased person. For convenience, the following description will be given assuming that the deceased person ID is the My Number of the deceased person. Next, in step S101, the deceased person terminal 300, for example, accepts an operational input from the deceased person while alive, and generates deceased person information indicating the details of handover from the deceased person to the surviving family. The deceased person terminal 300 transmits the deceased person ID and the deceased person information to the handover server 100. Here, an example of a procedure for registering "deceased person information" by the deceased person will be described with reference to Figs. 9 to 11.

[0050] As shown in FIG. 9, the deceased person's terminal 300 may display selection objects T310 to T314 on the display unit 1007. Specifically, the selection object T310 is an object for setting information on a messaging service account, for example. The selection object T311 is an object for setting information on a transportation money account, for example. The selection object T312 is an object for setting information on a bank account, for example. The selection object T313 is an object for setting information on an electronic money account, for example. The selection object T314 is an object for setting information on a mail service account, for example. Note that the present invention is not limited to displaying only the selection objects described above. For example, when the deceased person's terminal 300 receives an operation input by the deceased person to the additional object T315, the deceased person's terminal 300 may add a selection object for setting information on the account held by the deceased person and display it on the display unit 1007. This allows the deceased person to check inheritance information to be handed over to his / her surviving family members in a list, thereby improving user convenience. In the following, as an example, it is assumed that the deceased person's terminal 300 has received an operation input by the deceased person with respect to a selection object T313 related to electronic money.

[0051] Next, as shown in FIG. 10, when the deceased person's operation input to the selection object T313 of FIG. 9 is received, the deceased person's terminal 300 may display a screen for registering details related to the electronic money account on the display unit 1007. Specifically, the screen includes, for example, selection objects T320 to T325, a transferee addition button T325, and a decision button T326. The selection object T320 is, for example, an object for selecting whether to inherit or not to inherit. For example, when "to inherit" is selected, the takeover server 100 may register the information registered on the screen as the subject of inheritance processing. For example, when "not to inherit" is selected, the takeover server 100 may register the information registered on the screen as the subject of non-inheritance processing. The selection object T321 is, for example, an object for setting information related to the servicer of the electronic money. The selection object T322 is, for example, an object for setting information related to the login of the electronic money account. The selection object T323 is, for example, an object for setting the processing details for the surviving family members for the electronic money account. The selection object T324 is an object for setting information about a party to whom an electronic money account is to be transferred, for example. The add transferee button T325 is a button for adding information about a party to whom the account is to be transferred, for example. The confirm button T326 is a button for confirming the registered contents, for example. This allows the deceased person to easily set inheritance information to be passed on to the surviving family, thereby improving user convenience. As an example, the following description is given assuming that the deceased person's terminal 300 has received an operation input from the deceased person to the selection object T323. In this case, the screen shown in FIG. 11 is displayed on the display unit 1007 of the deceased person's terminal 300.

[0052] Next, as shown in FIG. 11, when an operation input of the deceased person to the selection object T323 of FIG. 10 is received, the deceased person's terminal 300 may display, on the display unit 1007, a screen for registering the processing contents for the electronic money account. Specifically, the screen includes, for example, selection objects T330 to T333. The selection object T330 is, for example, an object for transferring the electronic money account to the bereaved family. The selection object T331 is, for example, an object for transferring the password of the electronic money account to the bereaved family. The selection object T332 is, for example, an object for transferring the balance corresponding to the electronic money account to the bereaved family. The selection object T333 is, for example, an object for deleting the electronic money account. Note that it is not limited to displaying only the above selection objects. For example, a selection object corresponding to the account may be displayed. This allows the handover contents of the account to be transferred to the bereaved family to be determined by a simple operation.

[0053] Although the above describes the setting of an electronic money account as an example, the setting can be similarly performed for other accounts.

[0054] Returning to FIG. 8, in step S102, the takeover server 100 stores the deceased person ID and the deceased person information in the storage unit 110. Next, in step S103, the bereaved family terminal 200 accepts an operation input from the bereaved family and acquires the bereaved family ID from the bereaved family. For convenience, the following description will be given assuming that the bereaved family ID is the bereaved family's My Number. Next, in step S104, the takeover server 100 stores the bereaved family ID in the storage unit 110.

[0055] Next, a procedure in steps S200 to S202 in which the administrative server 400 registers the death of a deceased person will be described.

[0056] In step S200, the bereaved family terminal 200 generates information on the death notification (hereinafter referred to as the death notification information) by accepting, for example, an operational input by the bereaved family. Specifically, the bereaved family terminal 200 displays, for example, input items (not shown) related to the death notification on the display unit 1007. The bereaved family terminal 200 generates the death notification information by accepting, for example, an operational input by the bereaved family in the input items. The takeover server 100 may transmit information on the death certificate of the deceased person (hereinafter referred to as the death certificate information) obtained from the administrative server 400 and prepared by, for example, a doctor, police, or funeral parlor to the bereaved family terminal 200. In this case, the bereaved family terminal 200 may automatically reflect, for example, the contents of the death certificate information in the input items related to the death notification. This reduces the operational input by the bereaved family to the bereaved family terminal 200, and therefore the death notification information can be generated easily. The bereaved family terminal 200 transmits, for example, a bereaved family ID and the death notification information (including the death certificate information here) to the takeover server 100.

[0057] Next, in step S201, the takeover server 100 transmits the bereaved family ID and the death notification information acquired from the bereaved family terminal 200 to the administrative server 400. Next, in step S202, the administrative server 400 stores the death notification information in the memory unit 410. The administrative server 400 reflects the death of the deceased person in information regarding the certified copy of the family register (hereinafter referred to as family register information) based on the bereaved family ID and the death notification information. Hereinafter, family register information refers to information regarding the certified copy of the family register reflecting the death of the deceased person. As a result, the death notification information is accepted by the administrative server 400 after verifying the identity of the bereaved family, which makes it possible to prevent the submission of a death notification by impersonation.

[0058] Next, the procedure up to the point where the takeover server 100 executes the "inheritance process" in steps S300 to S310 will be described.

[0059] In step S300, the takeover server 100 requests death information by transmitting the deceased person ID to the administrative server 400. The takeover server 100 may request the death information from the administrative server 400 at a predetermined time interval, or may request the death information when requested by the bereaved family terminal 200, for example.

[0060] Next, in step S301, the administrative server 400 confirms that the deceased person is deceased by referring to the family register information based on, for example, the deceased person's ID. The administrative server 400 transmits the death information to, for example, the takeover server 100. Note that, although the administrative server 400 has been described as transmitting the death information to the takeover server 100, this is not limiting. For example, the takeover server 100 may obtain the death information of the deceased person (for example, a flag indicating whether the person is alive or dead) that is made public in the administrative server 400 based on the deceased person's ID.

[0061] Next, in step S302, when the takeover server 100 acquires the death information of the deceased person, it refers to the deceased person information in the storage unit 110 and transmits a death notice to the preregistered bereaved family terminal 200. This allows the bereaved family to know in a timely manner that the death of the deceased person has been registered by a public institution, and therefore allows the inheritance process to be carried out promptly.

[0062] Next, in step S303, when the bereaved family terminal 200 acquires a death notification, for example, the bereaved family terminal 200 may display a screen for logging in as shown in FIG. 12 on the display unit 1007. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12, the screen may include, for example, an input area T210 for logging in with a bereaved family ID (here, the bereaved family's My Number) and an input area T211 for logging in with an authentication code linked to the death notification. Here, when the bereaved family logs in with the bereaved family ID, the screen may transition to a screen for executing inheritance processing. Also, when the bereaved family logs in with the authentication code, the screen may transition to a screen for executing non-inheritance processing. This allows the bereaved family to select whether to execute inheritance processing or non-inheritance processing, thereby improving user convenience. Below, a case where the bereaved family logs in with the bereaved family ID and executes inheritance processing will be described.

[0063] Next, in step S304, the bereaved family terminal 200 may display on the display unit 1007 a screen displaying a list of various pieces of information set by the deceased for the bereaved family as shown in FIG. 13. This allows the user to check the inheritance information set by the deceased in a list, improving user convenience. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13, the screen may include transition objects T220 to T225 for transitioning to a screen related to the information set by the deceased for the bereaved family. The transition object T220 is an object for transitioning to a screen including information on the messaging service account of the deceased, for example. The transition object T221 is an object for transitioning to a screen including information on the transportation money account of the deceased, for example. The transition object T222 is an object for transitioning to a screen including information on the employee pension of the deceased, for example. The transition object T223 is an object for transitioning to a screen including information on the driver's license of the deceased, for example. The transition object T224 is an object for transitioning to a screen including information on the final tax return of the deceased, for example. The transition object T225 is an object for transitioning to a screen including information about real estate owned by the deceased person, for example.

[0064] Here, an example of a case where the bereaved family member's operation input is received by the bereaved family member on the transition object T221 in Fig. 13 at the bereaved family member terminal 200 will be described with reference to Fig. 14. Also, an example of a case where the bereaved family member's operation input is received by the bereaved family member on the transition object T225 in Fig. 13 at the bereaved family member terminal 200 will be described with reference to Fig. 15.

[0065] As shown in FIG. 14, the bereaved family terminal 200 displays on the display unit 1007 a screen showing the contents of the deceased person's transportation money to be handed over to the bereaved family. Specifically, the screen may include objects T221a to T221c related to the deceased person's transportation money account. The screen may also include an object T221d showing whether the deceased person's death has been notified to the transportation money servicer. The screen may also include an object T221e showing the relationship between the deceased person and the bereaved family. Here, the object T221e may be an object that displays the relationship in advance, or an object that displays the relationship by selectively setting it using a pull-down menu or the like. The screen may also include objects T221f and T221g for requesting the administrative server 400 for relationship information showing the relationship between the deceased person and the bereaved family. The object T221f is, for example, a text box that receives an input of a bereaved family ID. The object T221g is a button for transmitting the bereaved ID inputted to the object T221f to the administrative server 400 when, for example, an operation input by the bereaved is received thereon. The screen may also include an object T221h for displaying the determination result determined by the determination unit 150 based on the relationship information acquired from the administrative server 400. The screen may also include an object T221i for inputting information on the identification information of the bereaved's transportation money (here, the transportation money ID). The screen may also include a button T221j for transmitting at least the determination result information and information on the identification information of the bereaved's transportation money to the administrative server 400. That is, when, for example, an operation input by the bereaved is received through the button T221j, the bereaved terminal 200 transmits a processing request (inheritance processing information) to be described later for executing the inheritance processing to the takeover server 100. This allows the bereaved to take over the deceased's transportation money through a simple operation.

[0066] As shown in FIG. 15, the bereaved family terminal 200 displays a screen showing the contents of the deceased person's real estate to be disclosed to the bereaved family on the display unit 1007. Specifically, the screen may include, for example, an object T225a showing information about the deceased person's real estate. The screen may also include, for example, objects T225b and T225c for requesting the administrative server 400 for relationship information showing the relationship between the deceased person and the bereaved family. Note that the objects T225b and T225c are similar to the objects T221f and T221g shown in FIG. 15, and therefore the description thereof will be omitted. The screen may also include, for example, an object T225d for displaying the determination result determined by the determination unit 150 based on the relationship information. The screen may also include, for example, a button T225e for transmitting at least information about the determination result information to the administrative server 400. That is, when the bereaved family member's terminal 200 receives an operation input from the bereaved family member by pressing the button T225e, the bereaved family member transmits a processing request (inheritance processing information) for executing the inheritance processing described below to the takeover server 100. This allows the bereaved family member to obtain information on the deceased person's real estate by simple operations, which enables quick division negotiations for the inheritance.

[0067] 8, in step S304, the bereaved family terminal 200 transmits, for example, a bereaved family ID and request information for requesting the administrative server 400 to transmit relationship information to the takeover server 100. In step S305, the takeover server 100 acquires, for example, a deceased person ID from the storage unit 110, and transmits the deceased person ID, the bereaved family ID, and the request information to the administrative server 400.

[0068] Next, in step S306, the administrative server 400, for example, in response to the request information, refers to the family register information based on the deceased person ID and the surviving family ID to identify the relationship between the deceased and the surviving family. The administrative server 400 transmits, for example, relationship information regarding the identified relationship to the takeover server 100.

[0069] Next, in step S307, the takeover server 100 judges whether or not the bereaved family has a relationship that allows them to obtain inheritance information, for example, based on the acquired relationship information. If it is judged that the relationship does not allow them to provide inheritance information (step S307: NO), the takeover server 100, for example, ends the process. Next, in step S308, if it is judged that the relationship allows them to provide inheritance information (step S307: YES), the takeover server 100 transmits the judgment result information to the bereaved family terminal 200. Note that the takeover server 100 may transmit the judgment result information to the bereaved family terminal 200 when it is judged that the relationship does not allow them to provide inheritance information (step S307: NO), for example.

[0070] Next, in step S309, the bereaved family terminal 200 displays the determination result information on the display unit 1007. Specifically, the determination result information is displayed on the display unit 1007, such as object T221h in Fig. 14 or object T225d in Fig. 15 (here, "Relationship to Taro has been confirmed"). For example, when the bereaved family terminal 200 receives an operation input from the bereaved family to button T221j in Fig. 14 or button T225e in Fig. 15, it transmits a processing request to request the takeover server 100 to perform inheritance processing.

[0071] Next, in step S310, the takeover server 100 executes inheritance processing in response to the processing request. This allows the takeover server 100 to execute inheritance processing that requires relationship information. In addition, the bereaved family can process procedures that require relationship information with the deceased through the takeover system 10 in a simple manner.

[0072] <<Procedures for handling non-inheritance matters>> Next, referring to FIG. 16, a processing procedure until the non-inheritance process is executed in the takeover system 10 will be described. FIG. 16 is a flow diagram showing an example of a processing procedure until the non-inheritance process is executed in the takeover system 10. In the procedure of FIG. 16, the same steps as those in FIG. 8 are given the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted. However, while in the inheritance process, the deceased person information (inheritance information) is provided only to the bereaved family, in the non-inheritance process, the deceased person information (non-inheritance information) is provided to the bereaved family as well as to non-relatives such as friends and acquaintances of the deceased. For this reason, in FIG. 16, the "bereaved family ID" in FIG. 8 is replaced with "user ID". In addition, in FIG. 16, the bereaved family terminal 200 in FIG. 8 is replaced with the terminal device 200. In addition, since steps S400 to S402 in FIG. 16 are the same as steps S300 to S302 in FIG. 8, the description thereof will be omitted. Hereinafter, in FIG. 16, the description will be made from step S403.

[0073] In step S403, when the terminal device 200 receives a death notification, for example, the terminal device 200 may display a login screen shown in FIG. 12 on the display unit 1007. In the non-inheritance processing of this procedure, a case where the user logs in with an authentication code will be described (here, the authentication code is input in the input field T211). Here, the authentication code differs from identification information managed by public institutions such as My Number and resident card code, and may be, for example, a code that is assigned to each user by the takeover server 100 and can identify the user. The takeover server 100 may, for example, attach the user's authentication code to the death notification (for example, email) and transmit it to the terminal device 200.

[0074] Next, in step S404, the terminal device 200 may display on the display unit 1007 a screen displaying a list of various pieces of information set by the deceased person for the user. For example, when the takeover server 100 displays the screen shown in FIG. 13 on the display unit 1007 of the terminal device 200, it may display only the transition objects related to non-inheritance information among the transition objects T220 to T225 in a selectable manner. Hereinafter, as an example, it will be described that only the transition object T220 that transitions to a screen including information related to the messaging service account of the deceased person is displayed on the display unit 1007 in a selectable manner. When the terminal device 200 accepts an input operation by the user for the transition object T220, it transmits the authentication code of the user to the takeover server 100 and requests the takeover server 100 to transmit the non-inheritance information.

[0075] Next, in step S405, the takeover server 100 transmits to the terminal device 200 the non-inheritance information linked to the authentication code.

[0076] Next, in step S406, the terminal device 200 displays on its display unit 1007 a screen showing the handover contents for the user of the messaging service of the deceased person as shown in FIG. 17. As shown in FIG. 17, the terminal device 200 displays on its display unit 1007 a screen showing the handover contents for the user of the messaging service of the deceased person. Specifically, the screen may include, for example, a message T220a for the user of the deceased person. The screen may also include, for example, information on the account of the messaging service of the deceased person (for example, objects T220b to T220g). The screen may also include, for example, a button T220h for transitioning to a login screen of the messaging service of the deceased person. This allows the user to obtain the message of the deceased person before his / her death through a simple procedure.

[0077] In the above, the terminal device 200 has been described as acquiring a message from the deceased person while he / she was alive, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the takeover server 100 may execute a non-inheritance process such as deleting a messaging service account set up by the deceased person in advance based on the death information acquired from the administrative server 400. This prevents unused accounts from being left unused. In addition, for example, if the user is a surviving family member of the deceased person, the takeover server 100 may transmit a request to the bank system via an API based on the death information acquired from the administrative server 400 to disable the use of the bank account of the deceased person. This allows the bank account of the deceased person to be locked by a simple procedure, making it possible to hold appropriate division negotiations.

[0078] ===Hardware configuration of takeover system 10=== The handover server 100 and administrative server 400 implementing the functionality of the above-described embodiments may be, for example, a server computer, a personal computer (e.g., desktop, laptop, tablet, etc.), a media computing platform (e.g., cable, satellite set-top box, digital video recorder), a handheld computing device (e.g., PDA, email client, etc.), or other type of computing or communications platform.
