Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of information processing devices that process information presented to real estate agents who advertise properties. [Background technology]

[0002] Generally, when a real estate agent whose business is brokering real estate or other properties wishes to post an advertisement for a property that he or she handles on a so-called property information site, the real estate agent posts the advertisement by registering property information indicating the content of the property to be advertised on the property information site. This property information includes information indicating the type of property, property name, location, transportation, age of the property, number of floors, exclusive area, exterior image, layout information, and transaction details (rent and renewal fee in the case of a rental property). The administrator of the property information site posts the property information acquired from the real estate agent on the property information site that he or she manages. This allows general users looking for a property to view the property information via the property information site. The user in this case is, for example, a general user who wishes to rent a property. Note that the posting of property information once posted as an advertisement on a property information site can be stopped (i.e., deleted from the homepage of the property information site) by the real estate agent who posted the advertisement.

[0003] Here, since the property information is directly used for contracts for the corresponding property, its accuracy is required, and for example, when the transaction details change, it needs to be accurately updated. The following Patent Document 1 is an example of a document disclosing a conventional technique used to improve the accuracy of property information. In the conventional technique described in Patent Document 1, the contents of a number of predefined items of property information for a certain property are identified from the property information of a real estate agent, and the contents of items that cannot be identified are supplemented using an existing property information database.

[0004] On the other hand, for example, if the corresponding property is a rental property and a rental contract has been concluded (i.e., a contract has been concluded), then it becomes impossible for anyone other than the parties to conclude the rental contract. Therefore, in this case, the posting of advertisements containing the above property information about the rental property on the property information site must be promptly stopped by the real estate agent who posted the advertisement.

[0005] [Patent Document 1] JP 2020-27503 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, in general, a real estate agent may advertise hundreds or thousands of properties. Therefore, if the suspension of advertisements is left to the real estate agent, it may be possible that advertisements for properties that should be suspended at the appropriate time are still being displayed. In this case, for example, a user may attempt to sign a contract for a rental property that is not actually available, which may lead to a dispute between the user and the real estate agent.

[0007] One of the objects of the present invention is to make a real estate agent who has posted an advertisement recognize that he or she should confirm whether or not to continue posting the advertisement. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides A property management database that accumulates information on the posting status of real estate property information posted by a person who posted the property information for the real estate property while updating the information, and a listing number database that accumulates information on the number of postings of the property information for the real estate property and the person who posted the information, and a property information processing server connected to the database. First, the status of posting of property information for real estate properties by multiple posters, Refer to the property management database Then, By referring to the publication number database,The number of posters based on the acquired posting status is acquired by the property information processing server. Next, presentation information to be presented to the property information poster based on the temporal change in the number of posters, which is presentation information for confirming the continuation of posting of the property information, is generated by the property information processing server. The generated presentation information is then presented by the property information processing server to the property information poster. This allows the poster to recognize the property information for which they should confirm the continuation of posting, based on the temporal change in the number of property information posters. At this time, the property information processing server generates presentation information based on at least a threshold value corresponding to the maximum number of posters and the current number of posters, thereby making it possible to generate and present presentation information required for comparison with a preset threshold value.

[0011] In addition, the present invention may be configured to generate presented information based on a change in the number of posters when weighting is applied to the number of posters who have updated or stopped posting property information in a way that satisfies a preset criterion, thereby making it possible to generate and present the necessary presented information in a more probable state.

[0012] In addition, in the present invention, it is preferable to configure the system so that when the number of posters starts to increase after decreasing, the presentation of the information is stopped, thereby making it possible to prevent unnecessary information from being presented.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0014] Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 6. The embodiment described below is an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a property information processing system that performs processing to manage the display status of advertisements including property information of real estate properties. In this case, the advertisements for real estate properties are advertisements for real estate properties that are displayed on a property information listing page displayed on a user terminal so that they can be viewed by a user using the user terminal. In the following description, a real estate property will simply be referred to as a "property."

[0015] In order to present property information of properties handled by each real estate agent to each user using each user terminal UT1 to user terminal UTn (n is a natural number), the property management database DB1 illustrated in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2(a) stores properties identified by property IDs and real estate agents who handle each property and are identified by real estate agent IDs in association with each other. In addition, the property management database DB1 stores property information indicating the contents of each property, as well as the availability of the property and the posting (display) status as an advertisement, associated with the update date and time of the advertisement, for each real estate agent. As illustrated in FIG. 2(a), one property is usually handled by multiple real estate agents. In the following description, when items common to the user terminals UT1 to UTn are described, they are collectively referred to as "user terminals UT."

[0016] Here, as the property information posting page of this embodiment, in response to a display request from each user, for example, a property information posting page P exemplified in FIG. 3 is displayed on a display (not shown) of the user terminal UT to which the display request was sent. This property information posting page P includes property information R1, property information R2, ..., for each property, together with the name of the real estate agent handling the property, by referring to the property management database DB1. In the following description, when items common to the property information R1, property information R2, ..., are described, they are collectively referred to as "property information R". As exemplified in FIG. 3, the property information R includes and displays information such as the name of the property, an image of the exterior or interior, rent, location, layout, and transportation. In addition to these, each property information R includes and displays an inquiry field IQ including a phone button, a message button, an email button, and a plurality of check boxes and a send button that are operated by the user when the user makes an inquiry about the property whose name, etc. is indicated by the property information R.

[0017] In addition, when a contract is concluded for a certain property, as described above, the posting of advertisements for that property is generally stopped in a timely manner by the real estate company handling that property. At this time, the real estate company handling that property checks whether a contract has been concluded for that property by, for example, calling the management company of the property at preset intervals (for example, one week).

[0018] On the other hand, in order to confirm the posting of the advertisement including the property information R of this embodiment on the property information posting page P for each real estate agent using each real estate agent terminal HT1 to real estate agent HTm (m is a natural number) (i.e., to confirm whether to continue or stop the posting), the posting number database DB2 illustrated in FIG. 2(b) stores the number of advertisements including property information for one property on the property information posting page P (in other words, the number of real estate agents handling the property) associated with the property ID of each property and the real estate agent posting the advertisement for each date. In this posting number database DB2, the number of advertisements for the property and the like are updated daily by a system control unit (not shown) of the property information processing server SV that refers to the property management database DB1, for example. In the following description, when matters common to the real estate agent terminals HT1 to HTn are described, they are collectively referred to as the "real estate agent terminal HT."

[0019] Here, the relationship between the number of days for which advertisements for a property are posted (in other words, the posting date) and the number of advertisements is generally as shown in FIG. 4(a) for each property. In the example of FIG. 4(a), after the property is advertised (in other words, the advertisements are posted), the number of advertisements posted (the number of postings) increases with each passing day (i.e., an increasing trend), and after the date on which a contract is concluded for the property, the number of advertisements decreases (i.e., a decreasing trend). Then, finally, advertisements for the property will no longer be posted on the property information posting page P. In this case, the reason why the number of advertisements decreases after the contract is concluded is because the real estate agent (the real estate agent handling the property) who has confirmed the fact of the contract with the management company of the property, etc., gradually stops posting advertisements for the property due to the contract.

[0020] On the other hand, there are cases where a contract for a property is concluded, but then cancelled for some reason, making it possible to recruit new tenants for that property. In this case, the number of advertisements for that property will initially tend to decrease following the conclusion of the contract, as shown in Figure 4(b), but will start to increase again after the contract is cancelled.

[0021] In the case of posting advertisements as described above, when the number of properties handled by one real estate agent increases, a situation may occur in which advertisements that should be stopped due to a contract being concluded are left as they are. In the present invention, when such advertisements are left as they are, a contract confirmation message of this embodiment is sent to and displayed on the real estate agent terminal HT of the real estate agent who posted the remaining advertisement. The contract confirmation message of this embodiment is a message that prompts, for example, the manager of the property to confirm whether or not a contract has been concluded for the property for which the advertisement is still being posted.

[0022] The operation of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 5. The system control unit of the property information processing server SV monitors the arrival of a preset transmission timing of a contract confirmation message (step S1. Step S1: NO). The above transmission timing is, for example, a timing before the real estate agent starts daily business (for example, a preset time every morning, etc.). In the monitoring of step S1, when the transmission timing of the contract confirmation message arrives (step S1: YES), the system control unit initializes the property ID recorded in a memory not shown in the figure of the property information processing server SV (step S2). Next, the system control unit checks the number of advertisements for the property identified by the property ID at that time by referring to the property management database DB1 and the number of advertisements database DB2 (step S3). Next, the system control unit checks the preset transmission criteria for the contract confirmation message for the advertisement for that property (step S4), and judges whether or not the above transmission criteria for the advertisement for that property at that time are met (step S5).

[0023] That is, the system control unit checks the change in the number of advertisements for the property (in other words, the number of real estate agents posting advertisements) going back, for example, 90 days, and determines whether the change (see, for example, FIG. 4(a)) shows a decreasing trend after the date on which the number of advertisements reached its maximum value in the retroactive period, falling below a threshold value TH that is preset corresponding to the maximum value (steps S4 and S5). In this case, it is presumed that a deal was made for the property that the advertisement is the subject of, immediately after the number of advertisements reached the maximum value. And, for example, a number that is half (50 percent) of the maximum number is suitable as the threshold value TH.

[0024] Here, the specific value of the threshold value TH (in other words, the period from the predicted timing of contract to the transmission of the contract confirmation message of this embodiment) is, for example, a value that is preset according to the general period from contract to the stop of posting of the advertisement, or the type of property (such as an apartment or a detached house). The threshold value TH may be set not by the number of postings, but by the posting rate in relation to its maximum value. The retroactive period (one example is 90 days) is preset, for example, taking into consideration the characteristics of real estate properties (such as the fact that once a person starts living in a property, it is unlikely that they will move out in a short period of time, etc.) and the general period from contract to the stop of posting of advertisements by real estate agents.

[0025] If it is determined in step S5 that the property does not meet the criteria for sending a contract confirmation message (step S5: NO), the system control unit proceeds to step S7, which will be described later. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S5 that the property meets the criteria for sending a contract confirmation message (step S5: YES), the system control unit transmits page data for displaying a contract confirmation page including a contract confirmation message to the real estate agent terminal HT of the real estate agent who continues to advertise the property (step S6). At this time, if there are multiple real estate agents who continue to advertise the property, the system control unit transmits the page data to each of the real estate agent terminals HT.

[0026] The contract confirmation page transmitted in step S6 is, for example, a contract confirmation page CP as illustrated in FIG. 6. The contract confirmation page CP includes a contract confirmation message MG of the present embodiment for the property, a contract confirmation field CK used when the real estate agent inputs the result of the contract confirmation to, for example, the management company for the property, and the like, and is displayed on a display (not shown) of the real estate agent terminal HT of the real estate agent. At this time, the contract confirmation message MG includes a display of the number of other real estate agents who have stopped advertising the property (12 companies in the example illustrated in FIG. 6). By displaying this contract confirmation message MG, the real estate agent using the real estate agent terminal HT recognizes the need for contract confirmation for the property. In addition, by using the contract confirmation field CK, the real estate agent who has confirmed the contract can input the confirmation result with a simple operation (i.e., with a single click operation). Note that, if it is found as a result of the contract confirmation that the property is still available for contract (i.e., the property is vacant), when this is input using the contract confirmation field CK, the system control unit changes the display of the contract confirmation message MG and the contract confirmation field CK to, for example, grayed out. This allows the real estate agent using the real estate agent terminal HT on which the contract confirmation page CP is displayed to recognize that no further contract confirmation is required.

[0027] After the page data for displaying the contract confirmation page CP is transmitted in step S6, the system control unit then checks whether steps S2 to S6 have been executed for all properties whose property information is stored in the property management database DB1 at that time (step S7). If the confirmation in step S7 indicates that the steps have been executed for all properties (step S7: YES), the system control unit ends the current contract confirmation message transmission process of this embodiment (see step S1: YES). On the other hand, if the confirmation in step S7 indicates that there are properties that have not been the subject of the current contract confirmation message transmission process of this embodiment (step S7: NO), the system control unit increments the property ID by one property (step S8), returns to step S3, and executes the contract confirmation message transmission process of this embodiment for the property identified by the next property ID.

[0028] According to the above-described process for transmitting a contract confirmation message in this embodiment, the real estate agent who posted the advertisement can be made aware of the advertisement for which the continuation of posting should be confirmed (see step S6 in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6). In addition, the necessary presentation information can be generated and its presentation can be controlled by comparing with a predetermined threshold value (see FIG. 4).

[0029] In the determination of the transmission criteria for the contract confirmation message in step S4, the number of real estate agents who properly update property information may be weighted and counted to determine whether the transmission criteria are met. More specifically, the system control unit may determine whether the transmission criteria are met by, for example, doubling or tripling the number of real estate agents to be weighted. Examples of real estate agents to be weighted in this way include real estate agents who have updated property information in the past or stopped posting advertisements that should be stopped as specified, or real estate agents who stop posting advertisements for the same property after the real estate agent stops posting an advertisement. In this case, the contract confirmation page CP including the necessary contract confirmation message MG can be sent with a higher probability. For the real estate agents who are weighted, a special offer such as a discount on the advertisement posting fee can be provided to promote the decision to update property information and stop posting advertisements.

[0030] Furthermore, when the number of days and number of advertisements for a property are on the rise after decreasing (see FIG. 4(b)), the system control unit may determine that the transmission criteria for the contract confirmation message in step S4 above are no longer met, and may stop transmitting page data, etc., for displaying the contract confirmation page CP. In this case, by preventing the contract confirmation page CP from being displayed, it is possible to prevent the no longer necessary contract confirmation message MG from being displayed.

[0031] Furthermore, in determining the sending criteria for the contract confirmation message in step S4 above, instead of comparing with the threshold value TH, the trend of the change in the number of listings (i.e., whether the trend is increasing or decreasing) may be determined using, for example, AI (Artificial Intelligence) or a conventional trend determination method, and when it is found by checking back on a day-by-day basis that the change in the number of listings has become a preset decreasing trend, a contract confirmation page CP including a contract confirmation message MG may be displayed. More specifically, the system control unit may, for example, look back on the number of advertisements for one property on a day-by-day basis, and when it is found that the number of listings is on a decreasing trend, a contract confirmation page CP including a contract confirmation message MG may be displayed. Even in this case, a contract confirmation page CP that is necessary can be displayed appropriately according to the decreasing trend in the number of listings.

[0032] In the above embodiment, the real estate agent is asked to confirm the continuation of the advertisement by displaying the contract confirmation message MG on the real estate agent terminal HT, but other than this, the contract confirmation message may be sent to the real estate agent terminal HT of the real estate agent who continues to display the advertisement, for example, by sending an e-mail at a fixed time every day. In this case, it is preferable to include the contract confirmation message in the subject field or body of the e-mail.

[0033] In addition, in the above embodiment, the present invention has been applied to the processing of property information regarding properties that are the subject of trading, but the present invention can also be applied to the processing of sales information for other items, such as ships, used cars, and other vehicles, whose sales involve the disclosure of information about the items.

[0034] Furthermore, in the above embodiments, a program corresponding to the flowchart shown in FIG. 5 can be recorded on a recording medium such as an optical disk or a hard disk, or obtained and recorded from a network such as the Internet, and then read and executed by a general-purpose microcomputer, thereby allowing the microcomputer to function as the system control unit of this embodiment without accessing the network during processing.
