[0009] The following describes an embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiment, as long as it does not go against the spirit of the present invention. The order of each process constituting the flowchart described below is random as long as there is no contradiction or inconsistency in the process content, and it is also possible to omit a part of each process constituting the flowchart or add a new process to each process constituting the flowchart, as long as there is no contradiction or inconsistency in the process content. In addition, the device that executes each process constituting the flowchart can be changed to another device, as long as it does not go against the spirit of the present invention. In that case, the process content can be changed so that there is no contradiction or inconsistency in the process content.

[0010] The system according to the embodiment of the present invention may be composed of, for example, one computer device (standalone type), one or more server devices and one or more terminal devices (client-server type), or a host device and one or more guest devices (peer-to-peer type). The server device may function in a distributed manner across multiple computer devices. For example, instead of a server device, a distributed ledger technology such as a blockchain may be used. In the following, for example, a case where the system according to the embodiment of the present invention is composed of one computer device (hereinafter referred to as an information processing device) will be described.

[0011] 1 is a block diagram showing a hardware configuration of an information processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The information processing device 1 includes a control unit 11, a RAM 12, a storage unit 13, an input unit 14, a display unit 15, and a communication interface 16, which are all connected to each other via a bus.

[0012] The control unit 11 is composed of a CPU and a ROM. The control unit 11 executes programs stored in the storage unit 13 and controls the information processing device 1. The RAM 12 is a work area for the control unit 11. The storage unit 13 is a storage medium for saving programs and data. The control unit 11 performs arithmetic processing based on the programs and data read from the RAM 12 and data inputted via the input unit 14.

[0013] The display unit 15 has a display screen. The control unit 11 outputs a video signal for displaying an image on the display screen according to the result of the arithmetic processing. Here, the display screen of the display unit 15 may be a touch panel equipped with a touch sensor. In this case, the touch panel functions as the input unit 14.

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

[0015] The program may be stored in a recording medium such as a CD-ROM. In this case, the program stored in the recording medium may be installed in the information processing device 1 to execute the predetermined function. Alternatively, the program may be distributed from a computer device external to the system. In this case, the program distributed from the computer device external to the system may be installed in the information processing device 1 to execute the predetermined function.

[0016] Next, a real estate and owner identification process in a system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a flowchart of the real estate and owner identification process according to an embodiment of the present invention. Note that real estate is a concept that includes both land and buildings. A user operates the input unit 14 of the information processing device 1 to start dedicated application software for executing the real estate and owner identification process (hereinafter, the real estate and owner identification process will be referred to as the "identification process"). The user operates the input unit 14 of the information processing device 1 to identify an area corresponding to real estate having a predetermined attribute from an image captured from the sky above the ground, and starts the identification process for identifying the owner of the real estate corresponding to the identified area.

[0017] First, the user operates the input unit 14 of the information processing device 1 to select a captured image or an area to be subjected to specific processing (step S1). When an area is selected, a captured image corresponding to that area is selected. The captured image may be stored in advance in the storage unit 13 of the information processing device 1, or may be read by the information processing device 1 from an external storage device in which the captured image is stored. The captured image is not particularly limited as long as it is an image of the ground taken from the sky, and examples of the captured image include aerial photographs and satellite images. An aerial photograph is a photograph of the ground taken by a camera mounted on an aircraft. A satellite image is image data acquired by a sensor mounted on an artificial satellite. The captured image may be a single image obtained by combining multiple images.

[0018] Next, the control unit 11 of the information processing device 1 identifies an area corresponding to real estate having a predetermined attribute from the captured image (step S2). The attribute identifies the state of the real estate, the purpose for which it is used, or what buildings and facilities are present therein.

[0019] The specified attributes are not particularly limited, but may include, for example, a vacant house, unused land, a parking lot, agricultural land, or a material storage yard. A vacant house means a building where no one lives, and unused land means land that is not being used. A parking lot is land that is used as a place to park vehicles. Agricultural land is land that is used for agriculture, and may be, for example, a rice field or a farm. A material storage yard is land that is used as a storage area for materials such as construction materials.

[0020] Furthermore, the predetermined attribute may be the presence of a predetermined building. The predetermined building is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, a condominium, an apartment, a house, or an office building. The predetermined building may be a building that is more than a predetermined number of years old, or a building that is less than a predetermined number of years old.

[0021] In step S2, an area corresponding to real estate having a predetermined attribute is specified from the captured image, and the user can also operate the input unit 14 of the information processing device 1 to select the predetermined attribute from options such as vacant house, unused land, parking lot, agricultural land, etc. The user selects one attribute from these options depending on what kind of property owner and contact information he or she wishes to identify.

[0022] There is no particular limitation on the method by which the information processing device 1 identifies an area in the captured image that corresponds to real estate having a predetermined attribute. The information processing device 1 can identify an area corresponding to real estate having a predetermined attribute by identifying the attribute of real estate corresponding to each area of ​​the captured image based on information (RGB information) related to the pixels constituting the captured image.

[0023] For example, the information processing device 1 uses image data (such as RGB information of each pixel constituting the image) in which the attributes of real estate (for example, vacant house, unused land, parking lot, agricultural land, or material storage yard) are clear from among the captured images that serve as a reference (sample) as input data, and uses a machine-learned prediction model with information on the attributes of real estate corresponding to this image data as output data to identify an area corresponding to real estate having a predetermined attribute from the captured images selected in step S1. Here, image data having the same attribute as the predetermined attribute identified in step S2 is used as input data. In this way, the information processing device 1 can identify an area corresponding to real estate having a predetermined attribute from the captured images.

[0024] When the information processing device 1 identifies land that is a vacant house as real estate having a predetermined attribute, that is, when identifying an area on a photographed image that corresponds to land that is a vacant house, the information processing device 1 uses a prediction model with multiple image data of vacant houses photographed from the sky as input data. In areas where snow accumulates, the information processing device 1 can also use the state of snow accumulated on the house or site in the photographed image as material for determining whether or not the house is vacant.

[0025] In addition, when the information processing device 1 specifies a piece of land that is vacant as real estate having a predetermined attribute, the following method can be adopted. The information processing device 1 uses image data (information such as RGB of each pixel constituting the image) that is clearly a building such as a detached house as input data as the attribute of the real estate, and uses information on the attribute of the real estate corresponding to this image data, that is, information that it is a building such as a detached house, as output data to specify an area corresponding to the building from the captured image selected in step S1 using a machine-learned prediction model. Then, the information processing device 1 can specify an area corresponding to a building that is likely to be vacant by specifying a building that is used infrequently or is vacant using a thermal infrared image that is a thermal infrared image taken from the sky above the ground and that is taken in the same area as the captured image. More specifically, the information processing device 1 determines whether or not the building is vacant based on the latitude and longitude of the area corresponding to the building specified from the captured image, based on pixel information of the thermal infrared image at the latitude and longitude. For example, the information processing device 1 can determine that the building is vacant if the temperature is lower than the surrounding buildings by more than a threshold value from the thermal infrared image at the latitude and longitude.

[0026] In addition, when the information processing device 1 identifies an area on a captured image that corresponds to land that is vacant land, a parking lot, or agricultural land, the information processing device 1 uses a predictive model that uses multiple image data of each of the vacant land, parking lot, or agricultural land photographed from the air as input data.

[0027] The machine learning algorithm is not particularly limited, and a known algorithm can be used, but it is preferable to use deep learning using a multilayer neural network. The multilayer neural network has an input layer, an output layer, and multiple intermediate layers. Weights are set on the edges connecting the nodes of each layer. Weights corresponding to each input to the node are set on the edges, and the edges are multiplied by the weights corresponding to each input to the node, and the values ​​obtained by multiplying these weights and the bias are added. The value obtained by the addition is nonlinearly transformed using an activation function to calculate an activation value. The calculated activation value becomes the input value passed to the node of the next layer. The number of intermediate layers can be designed as appropriate.

[0028] Furthermore, the control unit 11 can execute a process of extracting contours by a known method based on the photographed image selected in step S1, and divide the photographed image into a plurality of regions separated by contours. Then, the control unit 11 can use the prediction model to determine whether each of the plurality of regions corresponds to real estate having a predetermined attribute.

[0029] In step S2, the control unit 11 may not only identify the area corresponding to the real estate having the predetermined attribute, but also calculate the area of ​​the real estate corresponding to the identified area, the length of the sides constituting the outer shape of the real estate, the length of the adjacent roads, etc. The area of ​​the real estate can be calculated based on the scale of the captured image. The area of ​​the real estate may be calculated using, for example, the captured image and survey data provided by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. AI analysis may be used to calculate the area of ​​the real estate.

[0030] Next, the control unit 11 identifies latitude and longitude (hereinafter referred to as latitude and longitude) corresponding to at least one position of the identified area based on the position of the area in the captured image identified as having a predetermined attribute (step S3). Next, the control unit 11 identifies the address of a real estate corresponding to the identified area based on the position of the area in the captured image identified as having a predetermined attribute (step S4). In step S4, the control unit 11 may identify the address of a real estate corresponding to the latitude and longitude identified in step S3. Here, "address" is a concept that includes both a residential address and a land number. A residential address is an address determined by a city, town, or village based on the "Law Concerning Residential Addresses (Law No. 119 of 1962)", and a land number is a number assigned to each real estate by the Legal Affairs Bureau.

[0031] The processing of steps S3 and S4 will be described. Map data of the same area as the area where the photographed image was taken is registered in advance in the storage unit 13 of the information processing device 1. Furthermore, for the photographed image selected in step S1, image data capable of identifying the latitude and longitude of each point or area in the photographed image is used. The image data used is stored in such a way that points in each image data are associated with latitude and longitude. The map data stores the address (land number or house number) of each area or area on the map in association with the latitude and longitude of the area or area.

[0032] Therefore, when an area corresponding to real estate having a predetermined attribute in the captured image is identified in step S2, the information processing device 1 can identify the latitude and longitude corresponding to at least one position of the area based on the position of the area in the captured image. The at least one position of the area may be a predetermined point included in the area in the captured image. The information processing device 1 can identify the latitude and longitude of a predetermined point included in the identified area. The predetermined point may be the center point of the identified area. The information processing device 1 can refer to map data in which the addresses of each area or each point on the map are stored in association with the latitude and longitude of each area or each point, and can identify an address (land number or house number) corresponding to the latitude and longitude corresponding to at least one position of the identified area.

[0033] In step S4, the information processing device 1 can specify the address of the real estate corresponding to the specified area by using a Cartesian coordinate system on a plane, in addition to the method of specifying the address of the real estate corresponding to the specified area by using latitude and longitude. In this case, step S3 may be omitted. Fig. 3 is a diagram for explaining the process of specifying an address according to the embodiment of the present invention. Map data 21 of the same area as the area where the photographed image 22 was taken is registered in advance in the storage unit 13 of the information processing device 1.

[0034] In the map data 21, the address of each property in this area is registered in association with the XY coordinates of a Cartesian coordinate system (XY coordinate system) on a plane. A specific point in this area is set as the origin O. With the north-south direction as the Y axis, the north side can be the first and second quadrants and the south side the third and fourth quadrants, and with the east-west direction as the X axis, the east side can be the first and fourth quadrants and the west side the second and third quadrants. The coordinates (X, Y) of the origin O can be represented as (0, 0), and in Figure 3, the address of the origin O is registered as address E.

[0035] In step S2, some areas of the photographed image 22 are identified as areas 23a and 23b corresponding to real estate having a predetermined attribute. The map data 21 is set to the same scale as the photographed image 22, and a point in the photographed image 22 corresponding to a specific point in the map data 21 is superimposed so that the point is the same as the origin O of the map data 21 and the direction of the photographed image 22 is the same as the direction of the map data 21, thereby making it possible to identify the address of each area of ​​the photographed image 22. That is, addresses are registered in the map data 21 in association with XY coordinates, and the address of the area can be identified based on the XY coordinates of the area in the photographed image 22 according to this correspondence. Here, the address of the area 23a is address D, and the address of the area 23b is address I.

[0036] If the address identified in step S4 is a residential address, the control unit 11 identifies the land number corresponding to the residential address identified in step S3 based on the correspondence between the residential address and the land number (step S5). An address master table in which land numbers are stored in association with residential addresses is registered in the storage unit 13 of the information processing device 1, and the land number corresponding to the residential address identified in step S4 can be identified by referring to the address master table.

[0037] In addition, when performing the identification process based on a photographed image of an area where the lot number and the address are the same, the process of step S5 can be omitted. The lot number identified in step S4 or S5 is used to identify the owner of real estate having a predetermined attribute in step S6 described later. If the address identified in step S4 is a lot number, step S5 is omitted and the process moves from step S4 to step S6.

[0038] Next, the control unit 11 identifies the owner of the real estate corresponding to the identified address based on the correspondence between the address and the owner of the real estate corresponding to the address (step S6). In step S6, the control unit 11 may identify the owner of the real estate corresponding to the identified address and the owner's contact information based on the correspondence between the address and the owner of the real estate corresponding to the address. If the control unit 11 identifies the land number in step S4 or S5, the control unit 11 identifies the owner of the real estate corresponding to the identified land number and the contact information based on the correspondence between the land number and the owner of the real estate corresponding to the land number.

[0039] Although the method of identifying the owner of the property corresponding to the address and the contact information of the owner is not particularly limited, it is preferable that the control unit 11 identifies the owner of the property and the contact information of the property by using data stored in association with the address and the owner of the property corresponding to the address. For example, an owner master table is registered in the storage unit 13 of the information processing device 1, in which the owner of the property corresponding to the address (lot number) and the contact information of the owner are stored in association with the address (lot number), and the control unit 11 can identify the owner and the contact information of the property corresponding to the address identified in step S4 or the lot number identified in step S4 or S5 by referring to the owner master table.

[0040] Alternatively, the information processing device 1 may cooperate with a system composed of other computer devices to identify the owner and his / her contact information corresponding to the parcel number identified in step S4 or S5. In this case, the information processing device 1 can cooperate with, for example, a registration and deposit online application system provided by the Ministry of Justice to identify the address identified in step S4 or the owner and his / her contact information corresponding to the parcel number identified in step S4 or S5. The information processing device 1 can receive registry data in which the owner and his / her contact information corresponding to the parcel number are recorded from the registration and deposit online application system.

[0041] The "owner" identified in step S6 is the name of the owner. In addition, the contact information of the owner identified in step S6 is not particularly limited, but may include a landline telephone number, a mobile telephone number, an email address, a facsimile number, an address (residential address), a postal code, and the like. By outputting the identified owner's name and contact information, such as displaying it on the display unit 15 of the information processing device 1, the user can contact the owner of real estate having a specified attribute by telephone, e-mail, facsimile, mail, and the like. Which of these contact methods is adopted can be appropriately changed depending on the purpose.

[0042] Next, the information processing device 1 uses the contact information of the owner identified in step S6 to transmit the specified information to the identified owner, that is, the owner of the real estate having the specified attributes (step S7). The specified information transmitted in step S7 is not particularly limited. The specified information can be transmitted by the user via the input unit 14 of the information processing device 1 and stored in the storage unit 13. The specified information stored in the storage unit 13 is read out when executing step S7.

[0043] The predetermined information transmitted to the owner of the real estate in step S7 can be changed as appropriate depending on the type of the predetermined attribute and the purpose of the user. For example, if the predetermined attribute is an unused land or a vacant house, the information processing device 1 can transmit a message or proposal to the owner of the real estate to propose selling or leasing the real estate. The predetermined information may also include the owner's name as the addressee, and information on the address of the real estate (lot number, address number) to identify which real estate the proposal is related to.

[0044] In step S7, the method of transmitting the predetermined information is not particularly limited. For example, the predetermined information is transmitted from the information processing device 1 to the specified owner by e-mail or facsimile. The method of transmitting the predetermined information may be selected by the user operating the input unit 14 of the information processing device 1.

[0045] Also, instead of or in addition to the process of transmitting predetermined information to the owner of the real estate in step S7, a process of transmitting transmission information for transmitting predetermined information or delivery information for sending a mailing to another computer device to the owner identified in step S6, a process of controlling the delivery information to be printed on a medium, and / or a process of storing the delivery information in a storage medium may be executed. It is possible to appropriately design which of these processes the information processing device 1 executes after executing step S6. It is also possible to allow the user to select which of these processes to execute by operating the input unit 14 of the information processing device 1.

[0046] The information processing device 1 executes a process of transmitting transmission information for transmitting predetermined information to the owner identified in step S6 to the other computer device, whereby the other computer device can transmit the predetermined information to the owner from the other computer device by e-mail or facsimile. The transmission information includes the owner's name, contact information such as an e-mail address or facsimile number, and the address (land number and address display) of the identified real estate. Here, the other computer device may be operated by a business operator or the like different from the user.

[0047] Furthermore, the information processing device 1 executes a process of transmitting delivery information for sending an item to the owner identified in step S6 to another computer device operated by another business, etc., so that the other business, etc. can send the item to the owner by courier or mail. The delivery information includes the owner's name, address (residential address), contact information such as a telephone number, and the address (lot number, residential address) of the identified real estate. The content of the item can be changed as appropriate depending on the specified attributes of the real estate and its purpose. For example, if the specified attributes are unused land or a vacant house, a message or proposal proposing the sale, rental, or utilization of the real estate can be sent to the owner of the real estate.

[0048] The information processing device 1 executes a process for controlling printing on a medium the delivery information (the owner's name and address) for sending an item to the owner identified in step S6, thereby making it possible to print, for example, a medium such as paper on which the owner's name and address are displayed. By printing the owner's name and address on a medium such as paper and attaching it to the item, it becomes possible to send the item to the owner. The medium used here can be a sticker-like medium with an adhesive applied to the reverse side of the printed surface and which can be used by peeling off the release paper. The contents of the item can be changed as appropriate according to the specified attributes of the real estate and its purpose.

[0049] The information processing device 1 can also execute processes such as storing delivery information (the owner's name and contact information, and the address (lot number) of the identified real estate) for sending an item to the owner identified in step S6 in an external storage medium (for example, an optical disk, flash memory, or hard disk). By handing over the external storage medium storing the delivery information to a business operator or the like other than the user, it becomes possible for the business operator to send the item to the owner by parcel delivery or post. The contents of the item can be changed as appropriate depending on the specified attributes of the real estate and its purpose.

[0050] By executing steps S1 to S7, the identification process is completed. In the identification process, the real estate having a predetermined attribute, the owner of the real estate, and the contact information of the owner may be one or more.

[0051] After the processes of steps S1 to S3 are executed, the processes of steps S4 to S7 may be executed in response to an operation input to the information processing device 1, or for an area for which a selection has been accepted by the information processing device 1. Alternatively, after the processes of steps S1 to S4 are executed, the processes of steps S5 to S7 may be executed in response to an operation input to the information processing device 1, or for an area for which a selection has been accepted by the information processing device 1.

[0052] The address (house address and / or lot number) of a property having specified attributes identified by executing the identification processing of steps S1 to S7, the owner of the property, and the owner's contact information may be stored in the storage unit 13 of the information processing device 1.

[0053] As shown below, a user can use the system according to the embodiment of the present invention to identify the owner of real estate having a specified attribute and his / her contact information, and make various proposals to the owner. For example, by using the system, a user can identify vacant houses and unused land from a photographed image, and use the above-mentioned contact method to propose to the owner of such real estate that the real estate be sold or rented. In addition, a user can identify vacant houses and unused land from a photographed image, and use the above-mentioned contact method to propose to the owner of such real estate how to utilize the real estate. Methods of utilizing real estate include building apartments or condominiums, building stores or warehouses, or setting up monthly parking lots or pay parking lots.

[0054] Users can also use the system to identify old buildings from captured images and propose repairs, renovations, or rebuilding to the owners of those old buildings. Furthermore, users can use the system to identify rental properties such as apartments and condominiums (excluding condominiums) from captured images and propose rental property management services, cleaning services, sign installation, vending machine installation, antenna installation, etc. to the owners of those properties.

[0055] A user can use the system to identify the type of crop being cultivated in the fields based on the captured images and information about the vegetation of the area corresponding to the captured images, and can suggest to the owners of the real estate what kind of crops they should grow. A user can also use the system to identify buildings that are used infrequently or are vacant, using normal captured images and thermal infrared images captured from above the ground, and can suggest to the owners of such land or buildings that they can sell or rent. Furthermore, a user can identify which areas people are gathering in based on the captured images and people flow data, and in areas where people are gathering, identify land or buildings that can be used to open a store, and consult with the owners of such land or buildings about leasing, building, renting, or selling the land or building.

[0056] Users can use the system to identify buildings with large roofs or large tracts of land from captured images, and propose the installation of solar power generation systems to the owners of the identified buildings and tracts of land. The system can also be used to understand the status of land owned by local governments and government agencies when building new roads. In this case, the system can identify the owners of vacant houses and unused land from captured images, and negotiate with those owners.

[0057] In the above-mentioned embodiment, the user operates the information processing device 1 to execute the specific processing. However, for example, the user may operate a user terminal to execute the specific processing of steps S1 to S7 in a server device that can be connected to the user terminal for communication. In this case, the server device functions as the information processing device 1 in the above-mentioned embodiment. The server device executes transmission and reception of information with the user terminal as necessary. The address of the real estate having a predetermined attribute, the owner of the real estate, and the owner's contact information obtained as a result of executing the specific processing are transmitted from the server device to the user terminal and displayed on the display screen of the user terminal. The number of user terminals is not particularly limited as long as it is one or more.

[0058] The above-described embodiment has been mainly described as identifying an area corresponding to real estate having specified attributes from an image captured from the air above the ground, and identifying the address of the real estate corresponding to the identified area based on the position of the identified area in the captured image. However, for example, in a system related to an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to identify the address of real estate corresponding to one or more points or one or more areas in a captured image or map image, and to identify the owner of the real estate corresponding to the identified address.

[0059] Here, the map image does not necessarily have to be a photographed image of the ground taken from the sky, but may be an image in which a map is displayed. The map image may be a photographed image in which a map is displayed (referred to as a map image corresponding to the photographed image). The range of the displayed map image can be changed, enlarged or reduced, or the display mode (for example, the photographed image or map illustration) can be changed by a user's operation input. First, the user operates the input unit 14 of the information processing device 1 to select one location or area in the photographed image or map image, and identifies the address of the real estate corresponding to the selected location or area. The address of the real estate corresponding to the selected location or area is identified by the same processing as steps S3 and S4, or step S4, in the above-mentioned embodiment.

[0060] Specifically, the information processing device 1 identifies the address of a real estate corresponding to a selected area based on a selected point or area in a photographed image or a map image. The information processing device 1 may identify the latitude and longitude corresponding to at least one position in the selected area based on the position of the selected point or area in a photographed image or a map image, and identify the address of a real estate corresponding to the identified latitude and longitude.

[0061] The storage unit 13 of the information processing device 1 has preregistered map data of the same area as the area where the photographed image was taken. Furthermore, the photographed image used for selection uses image data that can identify the latitude and longitude of each point or area in the photographed image. The map data stores the address (land number or address number) of each area or area in association with the latitude and longitude of each area or area on the map. Furthermore, the map image stores the latitude, longitude and address (land number or address number) of each area or area in association with each area or area on the map.

[0062] Therefore, when a point or area is selected in the captured image, the information processing device 1 can specify the latitude and longitude corresponding to at least one position of the point or area based on the point or area in the captured image. The information processing device 1 can specify an address (land number or house number) corresponding to the latitude and longitude corresponding to at least one position of the specified area by referring to map data in which the address of each area or each point on the map is stored in association with the latitude and longitude of the area or each point on the map. The information processing device 1 may specify the address of a real estate corresponding to the point or area based on the point or area in the map image without specifying the latitude and longitude. Alternatively, the information processing device 1 may specify the latitude and longitude and the address of a real estate corresponding to the point or area based on the point or area in the map image. The information processing device 1 may specify the address of a real estate corresponding to the specified area by using a Cartesian coordinate system on a plane.

[0063] When the address of the real estate corresponding to the selected location or area is identified, the name and contact information of the owner of the real estate corresponding to the identified address can be identified based on the correspondence between the address and the owner of the real estate corresponding to the address. The name and contact information of the owner of the real estate corresponding to the selected location or area is identified by the same process as in step S6 of the above-mentioned embodiment.

[0064] Specifically, the information processing device 1 can identify the owner of real estate and his / her contact information by using data stored in association with an address and the owner of the real estate corresponding to the address. For example, an owner master table is registered in the storage unit 13 of the information processing device 1, in which the owner of the real estate corresponding to the address (lot number) and the owner's contact information are stored in association with the address (lot number), and the information processing device 1 can identify the owner and his / her contact information corresponding to the specified address or the specified lot number by referring to the owner master table. In addition, the information processing device 1 may link with a system composed of other computer devices to identify the owner and his / her contact information corresponding to the specified lot number.

[0065] Alternatively, the user may operate the input unit 14 of the information processing device 1 to select multiple locations or multiple areas in the captured image or map image, and identify the addresses of real estate corresponding to the selected locations or multiple areas. The addresses of real estate corresponding to the selected locations or multiple areas are identified by performing the same processing as steps S3 and S4 or step S4 in the above-mentioned embodiment for each location or area. Then, based on the correspondence between the addresses and the owners of the real estate corresponding to the addresses, the names and contact information of the owners of the real estate corresponding to the identified addresses can be identified. The names and contact information of the owners of the real estate corresponding to the selected locations or areas are identified by performing the same processing as step S6 in the above-mentioned embodiment.

[0066] When a user operates the input unit 14 of the information processing device 1 to select multiple points or multiple areas in a photographed image or a map image, the information processing device 1 displays a sign on the photographed image or the map image together with the photographed image or the map image at at least one position of the selected points or areas. A predetermined symbol may be displayed on or near the sign. The predetermined symbol may be a number, a letter, or an illustration. Different predetermined symbols are assigned depending on the points or areas. For example, depending on the order of the selected points or areas on the map image, the predetermined symbol corresponding to each point or area may be represented by consecutive numbers such as "1", "2", etc.

[0067] Furthermore, when a user operates the input unit 14 of the information processing device 1 to select multiple locations or multiple areas in a photographed image or a map image, the information processing device 1 may display a list of the specified multiple addresses on the display screen 1, and may display a list of real estate owners corresponding to the specified multiple addresses and their contact information on the display screen 1. Furthermore, the information processing device 1 displays the selected location or area, the address, the real estate owner corresponding to the address, and their contact information in association with each other. "Displaying in association with each other" may, for example, display a predetermined symbol corresponding to the selected location or area on the map image, and display the address corresponding to the selected location or area, the real estate owner corresponding to the address, and their contact information in the same row together with the same symbol as the predetermined symbol.

[0068] After the user selects multiple points or multiple areas in the captured image or the map image, the user may further receive input of selection information regarding identifying the address of the real estate or selection information regarding not identifying the address of the real estate. The information processing device 1 may identify the address of the real estate corresponding to the area for which the input of selection information regarding identifying the address of the real estate is received, or may identify the address of the real estate corresponding to an area other than the area for which the input of selection information regarding not identifying the address of the real estate is received.

[0069] The specific processing can be performed through the following process using a system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Here, a case will be described in which, in a system including a user terminal and a server device, the server device functions as the above-mentioned information processing device 1. First, a user starts dedicated application software on the user terminal, and inputs a user ID that identifies the user and a password set for that user ID. The server device receives the user ID and password input on the user terminal, authenticates the user, and permits the user to log in to the system.

[0070] After logging in to the system, the user can input the area to be the target of the specific process into the user terminal (corresponding to step S1). For example, the user inputs the name of the town, such as "Kasumigaseki, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo" as the area into the user terminal.

[0071] Note that the user may input a specific location, a specific building name, or specific coordinates (e.g., latitude and longitude or address) into the user terminal instead of inputting a place name. In this case, the user inputs a distance (radius) from the input location into the user terminal to specify the range of the area to be subject to the specific process. The user may input the distance as a numerical value, or may input the distance as a time. When the distance is input as a time, the distance is calculated from the input time based on the correspondence between the distance and the time required to travel the distance. When the distance is input as a numerical value into the user terminal, information regarding the correspondence between the distance and the time required to travel the distance may be displayed. For example, the user terminal may display "1 minute on foot = approximately 80 m, 1 minute by car = approximately 400 m."

[0072] In addition, the user can input the attributes of the real estate to be identified in the identification process. For example, options for inputting the attributes of the real estate (type of real estate) include vacant house, old house, parking lot, old store, field, apartment, etc., and the user can select one of these by operating the user terminal.

[0073] When the user inputs, into the user terminal, the area to be the subject of the identification process and the attributes of the real estate desired to be identified, the server device executes the processing of steps S2 to S4, and addresses in which real estate corresponding to the input attributes are located are identified. The server device tallys up the number of identified real estate or the number of addresses. The tallied number of real estate or the number of addresses is transmitted to the user terminal and displayed on the display screen. The user can operate the user terminal to request the display screen to display a list of addresses of the identified real estate. In this case, the user may be charged when the display of the list of addresses of the identified real estate is executed.

[0074] When a user selects a button on the display screen of the user terminal for requesting to display a list of addresses of identified real estate, a list of real estate addresses is displayed on the display screen of the user terminal. In the list of real estate displayed on the display screen, addresses are displayed in association with the attributes of the real estate (e.g., vacant land). In addition, a check box is provided for each real estate, and a real estate with a checked check box can be registered in the list. For real estate registered in the list, the address, etc. can be displayed and confirmed on the user terminal even if the application is closed and then started again.

[0075] Alternatively, when a user inputs an area to be the subject of the identification process and attributes of a real estate to be identified on a user terminal, the server device executes the processes of steps S2 to S4, and identifies the latitude and longitude and / or address of a real estate corresponding to the input attributes. The identified information is transmitted to the user terminal and displayed on a display screen. The server device also counts the number of identified real estate or the number of addresses. The counted number of real estate or the number of addresses is transmitted to the user terminal and displayed on a display screen. Alternatively, when a user inputs an area to be the subject of the identification process and attributes of a real estate to be identified on a user terminal, the server device executes the processes of steps S2 and S3, and identifies the latitude and longitude of a real estate corresponding to the input attributes. The identified information is transmitted to the user terminal and displayed on a display screen.

[0076] The user can operate the user terminal to make a request to execute the process of step S6 or S7. For example, when the process of step S6 or S7 is executed, the user can be charged. When the user selects a request button for executing the process of step S6 displayed on the display screen of the user terminal, the processes of steps S5 and S6 or steps S4 to S6 may be executed. In this case, the user can be charged when the processes of steps S5 and S6 or steps S4 to S6 are executed. Alternatively, when the user selects a request button for executing the process of step S7 displayed on the display screen of the user terminal, the processes of steps S5 to S7 or steps S4 to S7 may be executed. In this case, the user can be charged when the processes of steps S5 to S7 or steps S4 to S7 are executed.

[0077] Next, the second real estate and owner identification process performed by the system according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a flowchart of the second real estate and owner identification process according to the embodiment of the present invention. The user operates the input unit 14 of the information processing device 1 to start dedicated application software for executing the second real estate and owner identification process (hereinafter, the second real estate and owner identification process is referred to as the "second identification process"). The user operates the input unit 14 of the information processing device 1 to start the second identification process for identifying the owner of real estate that satisfies a predetermined condition.

[0078] When the user operates the input unit 14 of the information processing device 1 to input a keyword (also called attribute information) of a real estate, store, or facility that is the target of the second identification process, the information processing device 1 accepts the input keyword (step S11). Here, the keyword (attribute information) of the real estate, etc. may be any of the following: the area, the type of real estate, etc., such as a restaurant or lumber store, the business status, such as closed, and the name of the real estate, etc. In step S11, the user inputs the area and other information. Input of a keyword for real estate includes inputting a character string such as a place name using a keyboard or software keyboard, etc., and selecting a pre-defined option for each area. In step S11, when the user inputs a character string, the information processing device 1 accepts the input character string.

[0079] Next, the information processing device 1 specifies real estate, stores, or facilities that satisfy the predetermined conditions based on the received keywords (step S12). In step S12, real estate, stores, or facilities that satisfy the predetermined conditions or names of the real estate, stores, or facilities may be specified based on the received keywords.

[0080] Next, the information processing device 1 specifies an address (house number or land address) corresponding to the real estate, store, or facility specified in step S12 based on a preset correspondence between the address and the real estate, store, or facility corresponding to the address (step S13). In step S13, the address corresponding to the name of the real estate, store, or facility specified in step S12 may be specified based on a preset correspondence between the address and the name of the real estate, store, or facility corresponding to the address.

[0081] The data on the correspondence between addresses and the attribute information of real estate, stores, or facilities corresponding to the addresses, which is used in steps S12 and S13, may be stored in advance in the storage unit 13 of the information processing device 1. Furthermore, map data provided on the Internet may be used as the data on the correspondence between addresses and the attribute information of real estate, stores, or facilities corresponding to the addresses. The map data stores the correspondence between addresses and the attribute information of real estate, stores, or facilities corresponding to the addresses. When using map data provided on the Internet, the information processing device 1 obtains data on the correspondence between addresses in the map data and the attribute information of real estate, stores, or facilities corresponding to the addresses from another computer device.

[0082] For example, if the character string "house" is received in step S11, the name of an old Japanese-style apartment building, such as "XX house," and the address of the building can be identified in steps S12 and S13. Also, if the character string "restaurant" is received in step S11, the name of a Western-style restaurant, such as "XX restaurant," and the address of the Western-style restaurant can be identified in steps S12 and S13.

[0083] For example, if the character strings "restaurant" and "closed" are received in step S11, then in steps S12 and S13, a building that is a "restaurant" and that has been "closed" and the address of that building can be identified. If the information processing device 1 receives the character string "restaurant", it may identify not only stores that include the character string "restaurant", but also stores in which attribute information of a food and beverage establishment is registered. Furthermore, if the information processing device 1 receives the character string "closed", it may identify stores in which similar attribute information, such as "closed", "closed", "scheduled to close", etc., is registered.

[0084] If the character string received in step S11 is an area, the information processing device 1 can identify real estate, stores, or facilities that have attribute information that completely or partially matches the character string. Also, if the character string received in step S11 is the type of real estate, etc., business status, or the name of real estate, etc., the information processing device 1 can identify real estate, stores, or facilities that have attribute information that completely or partially matches, or is similar to, the character string. In this way, by inputting a character string used for real estate or stores that have specified attribute information in step S11, it is possible to identify real estate that has the specified attribute information.

[0085] Next, the owner of the real estate corresponding to the identified address is identified based on the correspondence between the address and the owner of the real estate corresponding to the address (step S14). In step S14, the owner of the real estate corresponding to the identified address and the owner's contact information may be identified based on the correspondence between the address and the owner of the real estate corresponding to the address and the owner's contact information. If the land number is identified in step S13, the owner of the real estate corresponding to the identified land number and the contact information are identified based on the correspondence between the land number and the owner of the real estate corresponding to the land number. Note that the owner of the real estate also includes the owner of the store, facility, or the land on which the store or facility is located.

[0086] The method of identifying the owner of the property corresponding to the identified address and the contact information of the owner is not particularly limited, but it is preferable to identify the owner of the property and the contact information by using data in which the address and the owner of the property corresponding to the address are stored in association with each other. For example, an owner master table in which the owner of the property corresponding to the address (lot number) and the contact information of the owner are stored in association with the address (lot number) is registered in the storage unit 13 of the information processing device 1, and the owner corresponding to the address identified in step S13 and the contact information of the owner can be identified by referring to the owner master table. Alternatively, the information processing device 1 may cooperate with a system composed of other computer devices to identify the owner corresponding to the lot number identified in step S13 and the contact information of the owner.

[0087] The "owner" identified in step S14 is the name of the owner. In addition, the contact information of the owner identified in step S14 is not particularly limited, but may include a landline phone number, a mobile phone number, an email address, a facsimile number, an address (house address), a postal code, etc. By outputting the identified owner's name and contact information, such as displaying it on the display unit 15 of the information processing device 1, the user can contact the real estate owner by telephone, e-mail, facsimile, mail, etc.

[0088] Next, the information processing device 1 uses the contact information of the owner identified in step S14 to transmit the specified information to the identified owner, that is, the owner of the real estate having the specified attribute information (step S15). The specified information transmitted in step S15 is not particularly limited. The specified information can be transmitted by the user via the input unit 14 of the information processing device 1 and stored in the storage unit 13. The specified information stored in the storage unit 13 is read out when executing step S15.

[0089] The predetermined information transmitted to the owner of the real estate in step S15 can be changed as appropriate depending on the type of predetermined attribute information and the purpose of the user. The method of transmitting the predetermined information in step S15 is also not particularly limited. The method of transmitting the predetermined information may be selected by the user operating the input unit 14 of the information processing device 1.

[0090] Also, instead of or in addition to the process of transmitting the specified information to the owner of the property in step S15, a process of transmitting transmission information for transmitting the specified information or delivery information for sending a mailing to another computer device to the owner of the property identified in step S14, a process of controlling the delivery information to be printed on a medium, and / or a process of storing the delivery information in a storage medium, etc. can be executed. It is possible to appropriately design which of these processes is executed after executing step S14. It is also possible to allow the user to select which of these processes is executed by operating the input unit 14 of the information processing device 1.

[0091] By executing a process of transmitting transmission information for transmitting predetermined information to the owner identified in step S14 to another computer device, it becomes possible to transmit predetermined information from the other computer device to the owner by e-mail or facsimile. Also, by executing a process of transmitting delivery information for sending a mailing to the owner identified in step S14 to another computer device operated by another business, etc., it becomes possible for the other business, etc. to send a mailing to the owner by home delivery or mail. By executing a process of controlling to print on a medium the delivery information (the owner's name and address) for sending a mailing to the owner identified in step S14, it is also possible to execute a process of storing on an external storage medium the delivery information (the owner's name and contact information, and the address (lot number) of the identified real estate) for sending a mailing to the owner identified in step S14.

[0092] The second identification process is completed by executing steps S11 to S15. The address (address and lot number) of the real estate identified by executing the second identification process of steps S11 to S15, the owner of the real estate, and the contact information of the owner may be stored in the storage unit 13 of the information processing device 1.

[0093] In the above-mentioned embodiment, the user operates the information processing device 1 to execute the second identification process. However, for example, the user may operate a user terminal to execute the second identification process in steps S11 to S15 in a server device that can be connected to the user terminal for communication. In this case, the server device functions as the information processing device 1 in the above-mentioned embodiment. The server device executes transmission and reception of information with the user terminal as necessary. The address of the real estate having the predetermined attribute information, the owner of the real estate, and the owner's contact information obtained as a result of executing the second identification process are transmitted from the server device to the user terminal and displayed on the display screen of the user terminal. The number of user terminals is not particularly limited as long as it is one or more.

[0094] The system according to the embodiment of the present invention can also utilize open data published by the national government, local governments, private companies, etc. Open data that can be utilized in the system according to the embodiment of the present invention is not particularly limited, but may include the number of crimes per population, the number of traffic accidents per population, the number of hospitals per population, the number of community centers per population, the number of libraries per population, the number of nursing care facilities per population, the number of restaurants per population, the number of retail stores per population, the number of large supermarkets per population, the number of department stores per population, the number of child welfare facilities per population, the density of green spaces, summer or winter temperatures, population density, local tax revenue, the amount of medical subsidies, the number of child-rearing generations, the earth's surface temperature, the aerosol optical thickness ( Viral infection risk), air pollution, impermeability index, climate (temperature, humidity, wind direction, wind speed, precipitation, snowfall, sunshine hours, solar radiation, dew point, visibility, air pressure), air cleanliness, in- and out-migration population ratio, road density, traffic volume, sewage treatment population coverage rate, water charges, noise, earthquakes (active faults), flood control (hazard map), radiation, cafe density, distance from train stations, distance from bus stops, average residential land prices, financial strength index, resident tax, average income, average residential total floor area, urban planning area (use zone), official price, standard land price, road price, hazard information (landslide, tsunami, flood), etc. These data are stored in association with, for example, areas, addresses, or latitude and longitude.

[0095] Although there is no particular limitation on the method of utilizing these open data, the information to be sent to the owner of real estate or the contents of the mailing to be sent in step S7 and / or step S15, etc., can be changed according to the above open data. For example, even when proposing utilization of real estate to the owner of a vacant house in the information to be sent to the owner of real estate or the mailing to be sent, if the address of the vacant house is in a densely populated area (an area with a population density equal to or higher than a threshold), it can be proposed to utilize the vacant house as a residence such as a condominium or apartment, and if the address of the vacant house is in a sparsely populated area, it can be proposed to utilize the vacant house as a facility other than a residence.

[0096] According to the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to specify an area corresponding to a real estate having a predetermined attribute from an image captured from the sky above the ground, and to specify the address of the real estate corresponding to the specified area, thereby specifying the address of the real estate having a predetermined attribute from the captured image. Also, according to the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to specify the latitude and longitude corresponding to at least one position of the specified area, and to specify the address of the real estate corresponding to the specified latitude and longitude.

[0097] According to an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to identify the owner of real estate having a predetermined attribute based on the correspondence between an address and the owner of the real estate corresponding to the address.

[0098] According to an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to identify the owner of a property having a predetermined attribute and the owner's contact information based on the correspondence between an address, the owner of the property corresponding to the address, and the owner's contact information. According to an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to identify the owner of a property corresponding to an identified lot number based on the correspondence between a lot number and the owner of the property corresponding to the lot number.

[0099] According to an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to identify the owner of real estate having specified attributes, send specified information to the owner, send transmission information for sending the specified information to the owner or sending information for sending a mailing to another computer device, control the printing of the sending information on a medium, and / or store the sending information on a storage medium.

[0100] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the addresses of real estate corresponding to multiple locations or multiple areas can be identified based on the positions of the multiple locations or multiple areas on a map image, and the owners of the real estate corresponding to the identified multiple addresses can be identified based on the correspondence between the addresses and the owners of the real estate corresponding to the addresses.

[0101] According to an embodiment of the present invention, based on the correspondence between an address and attribute information of the real estate, store or facility corresponding to the address, it is possible to identify an address corresponding to the name of the real estate, store or facility that satisfies specified conditions, and to identify the owner of the real estate corresponding to the identified address.

[0102] According to an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to accept an input of a character string and identify an address that corresponds to the name of a property, store, or facility that includes the accepted character string.
