Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an information presentation device, an information presentation method, and an information presentation program, and more particularly to an information presentation device, an information presentation method, and an information presentation program that present moving object-related information related to a moving object. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, when a moving object (such as a vehicle) is damaged, the damaged moving object is brought to a repair shop to have the damaged part repaired. At that time, an estimate of the repair cost and repair period is calculated, and the owner of the vehicle checks the estimate and decides whether or not to request the repair. In light of this, a technology has been proposed that can determine damaged parts, including internal damage, of a damaged vehicle and provide an estimate of repair costs (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0003] In addition, the owner of a damaged vehicle may check the repair cost estimate and decide not to request repairs because the repair costs are high and the repair period is long. In this case, the owner may choose to continue using the vehicle or sell it. In this context, a technology has been proposed that can provide an estimate of the purchase cost based on vehicle information when an owner wishes to sell the vehicle (see, for example, Patent Document 2). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2004-177191 A [Patent Document 2] JP 2022-84129 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] Incidentally, the treatment of the above-mentioned damaged vehicles may involve repair, purchase, or scrapping, depending on the owner's wishes. These treatments are decided based on the owner's attachment to the damaged vehicle, as well as the cost required for the treatment. When a request for estimates for each cost is made to a company that can handle these treatments, there is a possibility that the company will not necessarily present the owner with an appropriate method of dealing with the damaged vehicle. On the other hand, it was difficult for repair and purchase companies to understand how to handle the vehicles after they were purchased, and it was also difficult for them to understand the appropriate way to handle the situation and prepare estimates.

[0006] An object of the present invention is to provide an information presentation device, an information presentation method, and an information presentation program that can present a user with information that enables the user to determine a more appropriate response method for a moving object than ever before. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The above problem is solved by the information presentation device of the present invention, which includes a type identification unit that acquires type information that identifies the type of a specific moving body, a damage identification unit that identifies damage information of parts that constitute the moving body based on structural information of the moving body of the type identified by the type information, a cost calculation unit that calculates the repair / replacement cost required to repair or replace the parts that constitute the moving body based on the damage information of the parts, a buy-back cost calculation unit that calculates the buy-back cost required to buy the moving body, an information presentation unit that presents the repair / replacement cost calculated by the cost calculation unit and the buy-back cost calculated by the buy-back cost calculation unit, and a work presentation unit that presents the work (parts) required for repair or replacement based on the repair / replacement cost.

[0008] As described above, the information presentation device (information presentation unit) presents the "repair / replacement cost" calculated by the cost calculation unit and the "purchase cost" calculated by the purchase cost calculation unit. Then, the information presentation unit presents the work required for repair or replacement based on the "repair / replacement cost." In this way, estimates for "repair / replacement costs" and "purchase costs" are presented, enabling the user to determine the appropriate course of action for the mobile object.

[0009] Furthermore, according to the information presentation method of the present invention, the above problem is also solved by a computer performing the following steps: acquiring type information that identifies a type of a specified mobile body; identifying damage information of parts that constitute the mobile body based on structural information of the mobile body of the type identified by the type information; calculating repair / replacement costs required to repair or replace the parts that constitute the mobile body based on the damage information of the parts; calculating a purchase cost required to purchase the mobile body; presenting the repair / replacement costs and the purchase cost; and presenting the work (parts) required for repair or replacement based on the repair / replacement costs.

[0010] Furthermore, according to the information presentation program of the present invention, the above problem can also be solved by having a computer execute the following processes: acquiring type information that identifies a type of a specified mobile body; identifying damage information of parts that constitute the mobile body based on structural information of the mobile body of the type identified by the type information; calculating repair / replacement costs required to repair or replace parts that constitute the mobile body based on the damage information of the parts; calculating a purchase cost required to purchase the mobile body; presenting the repair / replacement costs and the purchase cost; and presenting the work (parts) required for repair or replacement based on the repair / replacement costs. Effect of the Invention

[0011] According to the information presentation device, the information presentation method, and the information presentation program of the present invention, it is possible to present to a user information that enables the user to determine a more appropriate response method for a moving object than ever before. In particular, the user can be presented with mobile object-related information including an estimate of "repair costs" and an estimate of "purchase costs" based on the repair costs, allowing the user to determine an appropriate course of action for the mobile object.

[0013] Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0014] <Outline of the information presentation system> As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the information presentation system S is mainly composed of an information presentation device 1 that presents "mobile object related information" related to a "mobile object," a first user terminal 100 that is connected to the information presentation device 1 via a network, used by a "first user" to receive the mobile object related information, and a second user terminal 200 that is used by a "second user" to receive the mobile object related information.

[0015] Here, the "mobile body" corresponds to a vehicle, and in this embodiment corresponds to a "damaged vehicle." A "mobile body" is completed by assembling a number of parts that constitute the mobile body, and can also be referred to as a mobile body part group (vehicle part group) when viewed from the utility value of the mobile body parts. Note that the "mobile body" is not limited to a vehicle, and may be a vehicle other than a vehicle (one that carries a person) or one that carries an object other than a person. It may also be a drone or small mobility. "Mobile object related information" is information related to a mobile object, and corresponds to information transmitted to related parties of the mobile object. In this embodiment, it includes "response information" for the damaged vehicle, and corresponds to information presented to related users of the mobile object. The "response information" is "repair costs," "purchase costs," and other "processing costs" for the damaged vehicle. The response information may include a list of repair parts and replacement parts required for the damaged vehicle. The "first user" is, for example, a business (repair business, customization business, purchase business, repair and purchase business) involved in repair, customization, or purchase of a moving body. In other words, it is a business (acceptor, requester) that undertakes after-sales service for a vehicle (damaged vehicle) and interacts with the owner of the vehicle. In this embodiment, it is a repair and purchase business involved in repair and purchase of a moving body. The "second user" is a requester who makes a request to the first user, and is, for example, the owner of the moving object or a related person. It may be a driver who drives the moving object on behalf of the owner. In other words, it is a person who receives after-sales service for the vehicle (damaged vehicle) and interacts with the service provider. In this embodiment, it is the owner of the moving object.

[0016] The information presentation device 1 has a database (DB) including a mobile body information storage unit 11 that stores "mobile body information" related to a mobile body, a part information storage unit 12 that stores "part information" related to parts that constitute the mobile body, and a repair information storage unit 13 that stores "repair information" related to repairs of parts. The information presentation device 1 identifies a user who uses a terminal such as the first user terminal 100 or the second user terminal 200. Then, the information presentation device 1 acquires "type information (vehicle inspection certificate information or license plate)" of the damaged moving object from the user-identified first user terminal 100 or second user terminal 200 to identify the "type" of the moving object. Also, the information presentation device 1 acquires "structural information" of the damaged moving object to identify "damage information (scratches, dents, etc.)" of the parts that constitute the moving object. Then, the information presentation device 1 calculates the "repair cost" and "purchase cost" of the moving object based on the type of the moving object and the damage information of the parts of the moving object, and presents the repair cost and purchase cost to the first user terminal 100 or the second user terminal 200 as "response information for the damaged moving object". The information presentation device 1 may be provided with a database (provided database) that manages the above-mentioned "mobile object information," "parts information," "repair information," etc., or may acquire the latest information from an external management server that manages the above-mentioned "mobile object information," "parts information," "repair information," etc. at any time and temporarily store it.

[0017] The information presentation device 1 provides dedicated software (application) related to an information presentation program, and provides software services (application services) related to the information presentation program as shown in Figures 4 to 15 to the first user terminal 100 and the second user terminal 200 in which the software is installed. Specifically, the information presentation device 1 acquires information about the damaged moving object from the first user terminal 100 or the second user terminal 200, and presents (displays, notifies) information about how to deal with the damaged moving object (e.g., comparative information about repair costs and purchase costs). This allows the first user or the second user to decide the optimal way to deal with the damaged moving object by taking into account the information about the response methods. By presenting the "comparison information about repair costs and purchase costs," the first user or the second user can compare the "repair cost estimate" with the "purchase cost estimate taking repair costs into account," and decide to request repairs, request purchase, or request scrapping as the optimal response method.

[0018] The first user terminal 100 is an information terminal used by a dealer (repair / purchase dealer), and specifically, is a computer such as a PC. The first user terminal 100 is connected to the information presentation device 1 and receives software services from the information presentation device 1. The first user terminal 100 is also connected to the second user terminal 200 and can receive structural information (damage image) of a damaged moving object from the second user terminal 200. For example, the first user terminal 100 accepts the input of "type information (vehicle registration number)" by a user operation on the display screen (type information input screen) shown in FIG. 4, and registers the type information of the damaged moving object (transmits the type information). Alternatively, the first user terminal 100 accepts the input of "type information (vehicle registration number)" by a user operation on the display screen (type information input screen) shown in FIG. 5, and registers the type information of the damaged moving object. In the above example, the first user terminal 100 accepts the "type information", but this is not particularly limited. For example, the first user terminal 100 may accept "information about the owner" of the moving object. In that case, the information presentation device 1 can identify the type information of the vehicle by referring to the correspondence information between the "owner information" stored in the moving object information storage unit 11 and the "information about the moving object owned by the owner". Furthermore, the first user terminal 100 accepts input of "structural information of the damaged moving body (damage image of the moving body)" by user operation on the display screen (part analysis screen) shown in Fig. 6, and registers the structural information of the moving body (transmits the structural information). At this time, the first user terminal 100 may accept input of a plurality of damage images. In other words, it may accept input of damage images captured from different directions of the damaged part of the moving body. In addition, it may accept input of identification information (supplementary information) for identifying the damage information of the part.

[0019] In a state where the type information and structure information of the above-mentioned moving object are registered, the first user terminal 100 requests corresponding information for the registered moving object (moving object related information) by accepting execution of "parts analysis" by a user operation on the part analysis screen shown in Fig. 6. Then, the first user terminal 100 obtains corresponding information including "repair cost" and "purchase cost" for the moving object from the information presentation device 1, and displays the corresponding information (vehicle information, estimate result, parts list, etc.) on the part analysis result screen shown in Fig. 7 and Fig. 8. Specifically, the first user terminal 100 displays a list of parts required for repair and replacement, in addition to "repair cost", "purchase cost", and "scrap cost". Furthermore, the first user terminal 100 acquires moving object information (model information) related to the moving object from the information presentation device 1, and displays the model information on the "VIEWER screen" shown in Fig. 10 and Fig. 11. This model information is, for example, 3D model information (three-dimensional diagram) or 2D model information (developed diagram) of the moving object, and it is preferable that the location of the damaged part (damaged portion) is highlighted. In addition, the first user terminal 100 can also comparatively display the "repair cost," "purchase cost," and "estimated purchase cost" of the mobile object, as well as a "time series transition graph of these costs" on the "cost transition graph screen" shown in Fig. 12 and Fig. 13. Details will be described later.

[0020] The second user terminal 200 is an information terminal used by the owner of a moving object, and specifically, is a computer such as a tablet terminal or a smartphone equipped with an imaging device. The second user terminal 200 is preferably equipped with an imaging device 201 having a depth sensor (a camera with a depth sensor). By using the depth sensor, it is possible to measure the depth (distance) to an object and visualize the depth information in a captured image. The second user terminal 200 is connected to the information display device 1 and the first user terminal 100, and receives software services from the information display device 1. The second user terminal 200 is provided with the same software services as the first user terminal 100, but the display screen displayed on the second user terminal 200 is partially different from that displayed on the first user terminal 100, and the second user terminal 200 obtains information that is partially different from the mobile object-related information presented on the first user terminal 100.

[0021] Specifically, the mobile object-related information presented from the information presentation device 1 to the first user terminal 100 is information intended for a contractor (repair / purchase contractor) who is an underwriter who undertakes the mobile object (vehicle). In addition, the information presentation device 1 presents a display screen intended for the contractor. On the other hand, the moving object-related information presented from the information display device 1 to the second user terminal 200 is information intended for the owner of the moving object. Furthermore, the information display device 1 presents a display screen intended for the owner. In other words, the information presentation device 1 presents to the first user terminal 100 the "first mobile object related information" and "first display screen" necessary for mobile object repair and purchase operations, while presenting to the second user terminal 200 the "second mobile object related information" and "second display screen" necessary for owning a mobile object.

[0022] For example, the information display device 1 can provide the first user terminal 100 with repair information necessary for repairing the mobile object and market price information necessary for purchasing. Furthermore, it can provide multiple patterns of "purchase costs" such as a "first purchase cost" that takes into account the reuse value of the mobile object and a "second purchase cost" that takes into account the reuse value of the mobile object's parts. Based on this information, the dealer (first user terminal 100) will provide the owner of the mobile object (second user terminal 200) with the purchase cost specified by the dealer. The second user terminal 200 acquires response information based on the "purchase cost" and "repair cost" of the mobile object designated by the dealer. For example, the information display device 1 does not need to provide the second user terminal 200 with a plurality of patterns of purchase costs, as the first user terminal 100 does. In other words, the owner can acquire information (only the necessary information) required to decide how to handle the damaged mobile object.

[0023] The above-described information presentation system S can present the first user (repair / purchase business of the mobile object) and the second user (owner of the mobile object) with appropriate measures for the mobile object (damaged mobile object). Specifically, the first user and the second user can be presented with information related to the mobile object including a "repair cost" and a "purchase cost" based on the repair cost, allowing them to decide on an appropriate method of dealing with the mobile object. In particular, the first user can be presented with a "first purchase cost" based on the reuse value of the mobile object and the repair cost of the mobile object, and a "second purchase cost" based on the reuse value of the mobile object's parts and the scrapping cost of the mobile object, as information for businesses.

[0024] <Hardware configuration of the information presentation system> As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the information presentation device 1 is a computer equipped with a CPU as a data calculation and control processing device, a ROM, RAM, and HDD (SSD) as memory devices, and a communication IF for sending and receiving information data via the Internet. In addition to a main program that performs functions necessary for a computer, an information presentation program is stored in the storage device of the information presentation device 1, and these programs are executed by a CPU (processor) to perform the functions of the information presentation device 1. Alternatively, the programs may be executed by a semiconductor integrated circuit or a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) that implements a CPU.

[0025] The first user terminal 100 and the second user terminal 200 are also computers having similar hardware configurations. The second user terminal 200 includes an imaging device 201, and can capture an image of a damaged moving object (part of the moving object) using the imaging device 201 to obtain an "image of damage to the moving object." The imaging device 201 is preferably an imaging camera having a depth sensor, but is not particularly limited thereto, and may be an imaging device without a depth sensor. Also, the imaging device 201 is preferably a 3D imaging camera, but may be a 2D imaging camera.

[0026] <Functions of the information presentation system> As shown in Figure 3, from a functional perspective, the information presentation device 1 has as its main components a memory unit 10 that stores various programs and various data such as "type information," "structural information," "compatible information," "model information," and "cost simulation information," a mobile object information memory unit 11, a part information memory unit 12, a repair information memory unit 13, a screen display unit 14, a type identification unit 15, a type identification unit 16, a structural information acquisition unit 17, a damage identification unit 18, a repair cost calculation unit 19, a purchase cost calculation unit 20, an information presentation unit 21, a model generation unit 22, a transition graph generation unit 23, a required parts presentation unit 24, and a required work presentation unit 25. These are composed of a CPU, ROM, RAM, HDD, communication interface, and various programs. The above-mentioned "mobile object related information" includes "correspondence information", "model information" and "cost simulation information".

[0027] Regarding the first user terminal 100 and the second user terminal 200, from the functional standpoint, as shown in FIG. 3, the main components are memory units 110, 210 that store various programs and various data, communication units 111, 211 that transmit and receive various data between the information presentation device 1, display units 112, 212 that display on a screen the service contents relating to mobile object-related information presented by the information presentation device 1, and operation execution units 113, 213 that accept user operation input and execute operation processing.

[0028] The following is a detailed description of the functions of the information display device 1. First, various types of information (data) stored in the storage unit 10 will be described.

[0029] <<Various information (data)>> The "category information (category data)" is transmitted from the first user terminal 100 or the second user terminal 200 to the information display device 1, as shown in FIG. The "type information" includes "first type information" that identifies the type of the moving object, and "second type information" that estimates the type of the moving object. "First type information" is information that allows the type of a moving object to be identified with 100% accuracy (estimated with 100% similarity). Specifically, the first type information is vehicle inspection certificate information (moving object certification information), vehicle registration number (moving object registration number), VIN code (individual identification number), etc. The vehicle registration number is the number printed on the license plate. The "second type information" is information that identifies the type of the moving object with lower accuracy than the "first type information", for example, with an accuracy of 1% to 99%. The "second type information" is also information that can be estimated based on the similarity (likelihood) with the moving object identified by the "first type information". Specifically, this information includes the vehicle model name, vehicle name, vehicle shape, vehicle category, etc. Other information includes the year, grade, etc. "Vehicle type" refers to a type of vehicle classified according to its intended use, such as a passenger car, a small freight vehicle, or a light four-wheeled passenger vehicle. "Vehicle body shape" refers to a type classified according to the vehicle model (body type), such as a box type, a convertible top type, a station wagon, and the like. "Vehicle categories" include compact, sedan, wagon, truck, sports, etc. The "similarity" may be referred to as a vehicle identification accuracy error and may be expressed as an error (difference) from 100% similarity. For example, a moving object estimated with a similarity of 80% is expressed as a similarity of 20% (difference between 100% and 80%) when expressed in terms of a vehicle identification accuracy error.

[0030] For example, if "vehicle model information" of a moving object is available, the type of moving object can be estimated with a similarity of 80%. Furthermore, if both "vehicle model information" and "year model information" are available, the type of moving object can be estimated with a similarity of 85% (80% + 5% = 85%). Furthermore, if "vehicle model information," "year model information," and "grade information" are available, the type of moving object can be estimated with a similarity of 90%. The similarity may be calculated based on demerit items (items that decrease the similarity) such as the vehicle model, vehicle name, vehicle shape, and vehicle category, and on added items (items that increase the similarity) such as the year and grade.

[0031] The "structural information" is transmitted from the first user terminal 100 or the second user terminal 200 to the information presentation device 1, as shown in FIG. The "structural information" is data for identifying the structure of a moving body (parts of the moving body), and specifically, is image data of the moving body (damage image data). The image of the moving body is preferably an image of the damaged part of the moving body and the surroundings of the damaged part. Furthermore, the structural information may be a single image of the moving object, but is preferably a plurality of images taken from different angles of the damaged portion of the moving object. The image of the moving object may be used not only as structural information but also as type information for identifying the type of the moving object. Also, the vehicle inspection certificate information and the vehicle registration number may be used not only as type information but also as structural information.

[0032] The "response information" is information that is transmitted from the information presentation device 1 to the first user terminal 100 or the second user terminal 200, as shown in Figures 2, 7, and 8, and is used by the first user or the second user to consider how to respond to a damaged moving object. The "response information" includes "vehicle information," "repair costs," "purchase costs," "disposal costs," "other processing costs," and a "repair and replacement parts list" for the damaged vehicle. The "purchase cost" includes a "first purchase cost" related to the purchase of a moving body based on the repair cost, and a "second purchase cost" related to the purchase of a moving body based on the reuse value of the moving body's parts. In other words, the "first purchase cost" is the purchase cost based on the reuse value of a "used moving body" after a damaged moving body is repaired. On the other hand, the "second purchase cost" is the purchase cost based on the reuse value of "used parts" after a damaged moving body is dismantled. This "second purchase cost" may be the purchase cost when a moving body is purchased as a collection of parts (group of parts). The "repair / replacement parts list" is a list of the parts that need to be repaired or replaced among the parts of the damaged vehicle. The parts list includes information such as part code, part name, and classification (repair, replacement, inspection, etc.) for each part. The details of the "repair cost", "purchase cost" and "discarding cost" shown in Fig. 8 are as shown in Fig. 9A and Fig. 9B. The details will be described later.

[0033] "Model information" is information transmitted from the information presentation device 1 to the first user terminal 100 or the second user terminal 200, as shown in Figures 2, 10 and 11, and is information for generating a 3D model (three-dimensional diagram) or a 2D model (unfolded diagram) of the damaged moving body. The "model information" includes information about the damaged moving body and information about the parts that make up the moving body, and based on this model information, it is also possible to generate a disassembly model (parts disassembly model) that disassembles the moving body into its parts. The "model information" also includes information on damaged areas (damaged parts) of the moving object, and based on this model information, the damaged areas of the 3D model (2D model) of the moving object can be displayed in different ways. The information on the damaged area includes the type of damaged part, as well as the size, shape, and depth of the damage to each part.

[0034] "Cost simulation information" is information transmitted from the information presentation device 1 to the first user terminal 100 or the second user terminal 200, as shown in Figures 2, 12, and 13, and is information for generating cost trend information (cost trend graph) required to respond to a damaged moving object. The "cost simulation information" includes current repair costs, purchase costs, future expected purchase costs, future expenditure information, market price information, etc. Based on this cost simulation information, the cost transition graphs shown in Figures 12 and 13 can be generated. The future expenditure information includes, for example, taxes (automobile tax, weight tax, etc.) necessary for maintaining the mobile object, inspection costs (vehicle inspection costs) necessary for inspecting the mobile object, insurance costs for the mobile object, and the like. The future market price information includes the market price of used mobile bodies with respect to mobile bodies, the market price of used parts with respect to parts of mobile bodies, and the like.

[0035] Next, we will explain the "mobile body information" stored in the mobile body information storage unit 11 (mobile body information database), the "parts information" stored in the parts information storage unit 12 (parts information database), and the "repair information" stored in the repair information storage unit 13 (repair information database).

[0036] "Mobile object information" is identification information (specific information) regarding a mobile object, and includes, for example, vehicle inspection certificate information for each mobile object (vehicle), vehicle registration number, VIN code, vehicle model name, vehicle name, vehicle shape, vehicle dimensions, vehicle category, model, year, grade, engine displacement, fuel, and other identification information. The "mobile body information" also includes vehicle images for each mobile body, general maintenance information, parts group information, and maintenance cost information. In addition, the "mobile body information" may include vehicle images for each specific mobile body, maintenance history information, parts group information (such as parts status), and mileage. By referring to this "mobile object information," the information display device 1 can identify the type of the mobile object and can also determine and identify a damaged portion (damaged part) of the mobile object.

[0037] "Parts information" is identification information (specific information) regarding parts of a moving body, and includes, for example, information on parts groups for each moving body (vehicle), as well as identification information for each part, such as part code, part name, part shape, part dimensions, part year, part grade, and part image. By referring to this "part information," the information display device 1 can identify the parts that make up the moving object. It can also determine and identify damaged parts of the moving object.

[0038] "Repair information" is information related to the repair or replacement of parts, including, for example, information required for the repair or replacement of each part (work information). Information required for the repair or replacement of parts is, for example, information on the work content (work procedure) of repair work, replacement work, inspection work, etc., work index, work labor cost, and part cost. By referring to this "repair information," the information display device 1 can identify the work required to repair or replace a damaged part of the moving object, and can also calculate the labor costs and parts costs required for the work.

[0039] The mobile object information storage unit 11 also stores "market price information of mobile objects," "future expenditure information of mobile objects," and "sales condition information." The parts information storage unit 12 also stores "market price information of parts" and "sales condition information." "Market price information for mobile units" refers to market prices for used and new mobile units, and includes not only the current market price but also future market prices (eg, market price three years from now). "Parts market price information" refers to the market price of used and new parts, including not only the current market price but also future market prices. As described above, the "future expenditure information" includes taxes required for maintaining the vehicle, inspection fees required for inspecting the vehicle, vehicle insurance costs, and the like. The "sales condition information" includes information such as vehicle (vehicle part) images, part condition, price (new price, selling price), quantity, quality, shipping fee, and mileage.

[0040] <<Display screen layout>> The screen display unit 14 outputs service contents relating to the presentation of information on a moving object to the display screens of the first user terminal 100 and the second user terminal 200. Specifically, the user terminals 100 and 200 access a dedicated website (application) managed by the information presentation device 1, and when the user logs in, the service contents related to the information presentation are displayed on the display screen. After the first user and the second user log in, the screen display unit 14 accepts the selection of a desired user operation while displaying a top screen (not shown), thereby causing a screen transition and displaying the display screens shown in Figures 4 to 14.

[0041] 4 and 5 show screens for inputting type information of a moving object. Specifically, FIG. 4 shows a screen for inputting vehicle inspection certificate information, and FIG. 5 shows a screen for inputting a vehicle registration number (number plate). In Fig. 4, an example is shown in which the camera is started to read the two-dimensional code written on the vehicle inspection certificate, but the vehicle inspection certificate document (or the vehicle inspection certificate card or vehicle inspection certificate storage medium) itself may be read using the camera. The type information can be obtained from the document by performing character recognition using OCR or the like. As another example, an IC (Integrated Circuit) reader may be started to read the chip (IC tag) attached to the vehicle inspection certificate, and the type information may be obtained from the IC chip. The IC reader in this case may be provided by a vehicle inspection certificate viewing application linked to the information presentation program. FIG. 6 shows a part analysis screen, which is an input screen for receiving information for analyzing the state of the vehicle through a user operation. At this time, in addition to inputting images of the vehicle (moving body), a camera (imaging device) is started to input the image of the vehicle captured by the camera, and the parts that make up the vehicle are analyzed from the image. At this time, a depth sensor may be used to identify the presence or absence of a malfunction, the location of the malfunction, and the extent of the malfunction (malfunction depth). As shown in Figs. 4 to 6, the type information is identified and the parts are analyzed on separate screens. However, it is also possible to identify the type information, analyze the parts, and determine the location and extent of the failure based on a single image (an image of a vehicle) on a single display screen. 7 and 8 show a part analysis screen, specifically, a screen showing the analysis result when part analysis is executed by a user operation. The analysis screen (analysis results) shown in FIG. 7 displays the "damaged image of the moving object" acquired from the first user terminal 100 or the second user terminal 200, and the "vehicle information" indicating the type of the moving object. The analysis screen (analysis results) shown in Fig. 8 displays repair costs, purchase costs, and scrapping costs as "quotation results," and also displays a "parts list" required for repair and replacement. The information on the quotation results and parts list corresponds to "corresponding information." The analysis screen shown in Fig. 8 may be either of the display screens displayed on the first user terminal 100 and the second user terminal 200.

[0042] Here, the details of the "estimate result" will be described with reference to FIGS. 9A and 9B. In practice, the information on the estimate results shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B will be displayed in a list in the estimate result item column on the analysis screen (analysis results) shown in FIG.

[0043] 9A and 9B show information on the estimate result displayed on the analysis screen of the first user terminal 100 used by the repair and purchase trader, and are estimate information for the trader. FIG. 9A shows details of "repair costs," "purchase costs," and "scrap costs." In the "Repair Costs" section, five types of repair costs (replacement costs) are shown. Specifically, there are (1) repair costs when the main focus is body repair, (2) replacement costs when the main focus is replacement with new parts, (3) replacement costs when the main focus is replacement with used parts, (4) replacement costs when body repair and replacement with new parts are performed, and (5) replacement costs when body repair and replacement with used parts are performed. The repair costs for (4) and (5) above are further divided into three plans: Shochikubai (gold, silver, bronze). In the "Purchase Cost" section, there are two types of purchase cost: (1) vehicle purchase cost based on the reuse value of the vehicle (first purchase cost), and (2) parts purchase cost based on the reuse value of the parts (second purchase cost). "Vehicle scrapping costs" are costs required when scrapping a vehicle.

[0044] FIG. 9B shows details of the "Other" related information. "Other" shows six related information items in total. Specifically, (1) the market price of used vehicles with the same model, class, and grade as the damaged vehicle, (2) the market price of new vehicles with the same model, class, and grade as the damaged vehicle, (3) the market price of recommended used vehicles with the same model, class, and grade as the damaged vehicle, (4) the dealer selling price of the damaged vehicle, (5) the auction price of the damaged vehicle, and (6) the shipping cost of the damaged vehicle. Based on the information from the above estimate results, the repair and purchase company can present the owner of the vehicle with, for example, the "vehicle purchase cost (first purchase cost)" of two possible purchase costs, and if the owner decides to purchase the vehicle, they can offer to buy it for 400,000 yen. In addition, the repair and purchase business can refer to the "other" related information (market price information) and propose to the owner of the vehicle that they will purchase the vehicle for 500,000 yen, which is 100,000 yen more than the "vehicle purchase cost (first purchase cost)". In other words, the repair and purchase business can decide the purchase cost with an emphasis on profit or on market price information. They can also propose repair costs.

[0045] 9A and 9B show quotation result information displayed on the analysis screen of the first user terminal 100, which is partially different from the quotation result information displayed on the analysis screen of the second user terminal 200 used by the owner. All information on the estimate results shown in Fig. 9A and Fig. 9B can be displayed on the analysis screen of the first user terminal 100, and it is possible to display or hide certain information by customization. In particular, in Fig. 9A, both "first purchase cost" and "second purchase cost" are displayed as purchase cost items. When these purchase costs are set, they indicate to the repair and purchase company the possibility of reusing (reselling) the vehicle as a vehicle, and the possibility of reusing it as a part. On the other hand, the analysis screen of the second user terminal 200 is designed not to display any information enclosed in a dashed frame among the quotation result information shown in Figures 9A and 9B (see the "※" mark in Figures 9A and 9B). Examples of information that is not displayed include the "second purchase cost" shown in Fig. 9A, and the "dealer selling price," "auction selling price," and "vehicle shipping cost" shown in Fig. 9B, but the "first purchase cost" is displayed. That is, on the analysis screen of the second user terminal 200, the "first purchase cost" is displayed as the "purchase cost." For the owner, this "purchase cost" simply indicates that the vehicle is being released from his / her possession (relinquishing ownership), and does not indicate whether it is the cost of reusing (reselling) the vehicle as a vehicle or the cost of reusing the vehicle as parts. In other words, the purchase cost of the target moving body (vehicle) is calculated and displayed, but the meaning of the displayed purchase cost will differ depending on the display screen that displays this purchase cost (the analysis screen of the first user terminal 100, the analysis screen of the second user terminal 200). The "first purchase cost" is a cost based on the reuse value of the purchased vehicle for reuse (resale) as a vehicle, and does not include costs related to the transfer of ownership, etc., which will be carried out. Of course, the costs related to the transfer, etc. may be stored separately, and a cost including information on this cost may be displayed as the "first purchase cost." The "second purchase cost" is a cost based on the reuse value of the purchased vehicle for reuse as parts, and does not include costs related to the vehicle scrapping procedures. Of course, the costs related to the vehicle scrapping procedures may be stored separately, and a cost including information on this cost may be displayed as the "second purchase cost." In this way, the information on the response method (estimate result) presented to the user differs partially between the display screen of the first user terminal 100 and the display screen of the second user terminal 200. This indicates that items are displayed according to the user (repair / purchase business, owner) who is displaying the estimate result, making it possible to display the most suitable estimate according to the user.

[0046] Fig. 10 shows a VIEWER screen (3D model screen), and Fig. 11 shows a VIEWER screen (2D model screen). Specifically, Fig. 10 displays 3D model information (three-dimensional diagram) of the damaged moving body, and Fig. 11 displays 2D model information (developed diagram) of the damaged moving body. In both Fig. 10 and Fig. 11, the location of the damaged part of the moving body (damaged part) is highlighted. Fig. 12 shows a cost transition graph screen (similarity 100%), and Fig. 13 shows a cost transition graph screen (similarity 80%). Fig. 12 displays the current and future cost transition information (cost transition graph) of a damaged moving object when the moving object is estimated with a similarity of 100%. Fig. 13 displays the current and future cost transition information of a damaged moving object when the moving object is estimated with a similarity of 80%. In the case of Fig. 13, the moving object is estimated with a similarity of 80%, so an error equivalent to a difference of 20% occurs in the cost transition information. In other words, information on the error of the "repair cost", the error of the current "purchase cost", and the error of the "projected purchase cost" in the future are displayed together.

[0047] <<Type specification>> The type identification unit 15 acquires type information of the damaged moving object, and identifies the type of the moving object based on the “type information” and the “moving object information” of the moving object managed by the moving object information storage unit 11. The type identification unit 15 may identify the moving object based on "structural information (damaged image)" and "moving object information" instead of the above-mentioned "type information".

[0048] Specifically, the type identification unit 15 acquires "vehicle inspection certificate information (first type information)" through a vehicle inspection certificate information input screen shown in Fig. 4. More specifically, the type identification unit 15 acquires "vehicle inspection certificate information" by reading a two-dimensional code on the vehicle inspection certificate based on a user operation. Alternatively, the type identification unit 15 acquires the "vehicle registration number (first type information)" through a vehicle registration number input screen shown in Fig. 5. In detail, the "vehicle registration number" is acquired by reading image data of the license plate based on a user operation. When the first type information is obtained, the type identification unit 15 can identify the type of vehicle (with 100% similarity).

[0049] On the other hand, when the first type information cannot be obtained, the type identification unit 15 can obtain second type information such as the vehicle model, vehicle name, and vehicle shape through a type information obtaining screen (not shown). When the second type information is obtained, the type identification unit 15 estimates the type of the moving object according to the identification level (reliability) of the obtained second type information.

[0050] In addition to acquiring the "type information" from the second user terminal 200 used by the owner of the mobile object, the type identification unit 15 can also acquire the "type information" from the first user terminal 100 used by the repair / purchase company. In the latter pattern, it is possible that after the second user terminal 200 transmits “type information” of the moving object to the first user terminal 100, the first user terminal 100 transmits the “type information” to the information presentation device 1 instead.

[0051] When the type identification unit 15 acquires the "first type information" and identifies the type of the moving object, the type identification unit 16 identifies the type of the moving object based on the identification result. In other words, the type of the moving object is identified with a similarity of 100%. On the other hand, if the type identification unit 15 cannot acquire the "first type information" and cannot identify the type of the moving object, the type identification unit 16 identifies the type of the moving object and the "similarity" of the type. Specifically, when the type identification unit 15 acquires the "second type information", the type identification unit 15 estimates the type of the moving object based on the "second type information" and the "moving object information". Then, the type specification unit 16 specifies the estimated type of the moving object and the "similarity" of the moving object. The reliability of the "second type information" is as described above. For example, when the second type information is "information on the vehicle type", the type identification unit 16 identifies the type of the moving object with a similarity of 80%. If the type of the moving object is not identified with 100% similarity, it will affect the estimate information and the cost transition information. Also, the list of parts required for repair and replacement will be information within the predicted range.

[0052] <<Identifying the damaged area (damaged parts)>> The structure information acquisition unit 17 acquires structure information of the moving object measured using a depth sensor. More specifically, the structural information acquisition unit 17 acquires from the second user terminal 200 “damaged image data” of the moving object captured by the imaging device 201 . Specifically, the structure information acquisition unit 17 acquires the "damaged image data" through the part analysis screen shown in Fig. 6. That is, the damaged image data is acquired by reading the damaged image data based on a user operation. This "damage image data" includes depth information measured by a depth sensor to the target object. By using this damage image data, the location of the damage can be determined with high accuracy. In addition to acquiring the “structural information” from the second user terminal 200, the structural information acquiring unit 17 may acquire the “structural information” from the first user terminal 100.

[0053] The damage identification unit 18 identifies “damage information of parts” based on the “structural information” and the “parts information” stored by the part information storage unit 12. In detail, the damage identification unit 18 compares a damaged part of a moving body with a corresponding normal part based on the "structural information (damage image data)" and the "part information," and identifies the "part damage information." The damage identification unit 18 may identify the "damage information of the part" by comparing the damaged moving body with a normal moving body based on the "structural information" and the "moving body information". Alternatively, the damage identification unit 18 may identify the "damage information of the part" based only on the "structural information".

[0054] Specifically, as shown in Fig. 7, the damage identification unit 18 identifies parts with scratches or dents from the "damage image", judges the scratch level or dent level, and identifies the damage information (degree of damage) from the judgment result. The methods of judging the scratch level or dent level include (1) judging the scratch level (scratch size, scratch shape, scratch depth) based on depth information from a depth sensor (also called scoring judgment using AI), or (2) referring to the part information stored in the part information storage unit 12, and judging the scratch level (scratch size, scratch shape, scratch depth) by comparing the damaged part with a normal part. By implementing both of these determination methods, the damage identifying unit 18 can identify more accurate "damage information of a part." Then, the information presentation device 1 can create a more accurate estimate.

[0055] <<Presentation of correspondence information>> The repair cost calculation unit 19 calculates the "repair cost" required to repair a part of the mobile body based on the "part damage information" identified by the damage identification unit 18 and the "repair information" stored by the repair information storage unit 13. The repair cost calculation unit 19 can calculate the repair cost with higher accuracy by referring to the type of the moving object identified by the type identification unit 16 in addition to the "part damage information" and "repair information." In other words, by identifying the type of the moving object, the repair cost calculation unit 19 can clearly identify the size, shape, and depth of the damage, and calculate the "repair cost" required to repair or replace the damaged part after identifying the damaged part.

[0056] The repair cost calculation unit 19 may further refer to the "mobile body information" stored in the mobile body information storage unit 11 to calculate the "repair cost" of the mobile body. The above-mentioned "mobile body information" includes maintenance history information for each specified mobile body. The repair cost calculation unit 19 refers to the "maintenance history information (damage condition information)" of the mobile body to understand the past damage condition of the mobile body, and then calculates (adjusts) the "repair cost" required to repair or replace the current damaged area (damaged part). This allows the repair cost calculation unit 19 to calculate the repair cost with higher accuracy.

[0057] In addition, the repair cost calculation unit 19 may calculate the "repair cost" of the moving body by further referring to the "index in the estimate of the damaged vehicle." The index is a standard value that assumes a certain standard work when calculating the repair and replacement labor costs of the damaged vehicle. For example, when calculating "repair labor cost," it is calculated by multiplying "work time (index)" and "repair cost per hour" as shown in FIG.

[0058] The buy-back cost calculation unit 20 calculates a "first buy-back cost" for the buy-back of the moving body based on the repair cost of the moving body, and a "second buy-back cost" for the buy-back of the moving body based on the reuse value of parts of the moving body. In detail, the purchase cost calculation unit 20 calculates a "first purchase cost" based on the "reusability value (resale value) of the mobile body" and the "repair cost" of the mobile body by referring to the "market price information (market price) of the mobile body" stored by the mobile body information storage unit 11. Of course, when the repair cost is not required, the "first purchase cost" is calculated based on the "reusability value (resale value) of the mobile body." Furthermore, the purchase cost calculation unit 20 calculates a "second purchase cost" based on the "reusability value of the part" and the "scrapping cost of the mobile object" by referring to the "market price information (market price) of the part" stored by the part information storage unit 12. Of course, when the scrapping cost is not required, the "second purchase cost" is calculated based on the "reusability value of the part".

[0059] The "first purchase cost" is a purchase cost based on the reuse value of the "used mobile body" after the damaged mobile body is repaired. For example, it is a purchase cost calculated based on the second-hand market price of the damaged mobile body, the calculated repair cost, and the damage information used to calculate the repair cost. When the "first purchase cost" is calculated on a display screen displayed to the repair / purchase company or on a display screen displayed to the owner (e.g., Fig. 9A, Fig. 9B), it is also possible to set the purchase cost to be the purchase cost based on the reuse value of the mobile body plus information on a predetermined profit rate of the reuser. On the other hand, the "second purchase cost" is a purchase cost based on the reuse value of the "used parts" after dismantling the damaged mobile unit. For example, it is a purchase cost calculated by taking into account the value of a group of parts obtained (removed) from a damaged mobile unit, based on information such as the type of mobile unit that matches this group of parts, the part configuration, and the part purchase price. When calculating the "second purchase cost" on the screen of the repair / purchase business (e.g., Fig. 9A, Fig. 9B), it is also possible to add information on the predetermined profit rate of the recycler to the purchase cost based on the reuse value of the parts.

[0060] The information presentation unit 21 presents “corresponding information (mobile object related information)” including the “repair cost” calculated by the repair cost calculation unit 19 and the “purchase cost” calculated by the purchase cost calculation unit 20. More specifically, the information presentation unit 21 presents the buy-back cost of the moving body taking into consideration the calculation results of the "first buy-back cost" and the "second buy-back cost" as the above-mentioned "buy-back cost". Specifically, the information presenting unit 21 presents "corresponding information" of the damaged moving object through a part analysis screen (analysis result) shown in FIG. As shown in Figures 7 and 8, "response information" includes "vehicle information," "repair costs," "purchase costs," "screw disposal costs," "other processing costs," and "repair and replacement parts list" for the damaged vehicle.

[0061] As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the information presentation unit 21 outputs corresponding information including "purchase cost (purchase cost for dealer)" which includes the "first purchase cost" and "second purchase cost" of the mobile object, and "repair cost (repair cost for dealer)" to the first user terminal 100 used by the repair / purchase dealer. On the other hand, the information presentation unit 21 outputs corresponding information to the second user terminal 200 used by the person (owner) who sent the structural information of the moving object, including a "purchase cost (purchase cost for owner)" that takes into account the purchase cost specified by user operation of the dealer (first user) out of the "first purchase cost" and the "second purchase cost", and a "repair cost (repair cost for owner)" that takes into account the above-mentioned repair cost. The specific differences are as follows:

[0062] 9A and 9B are diagrams showing details of the “Estimated Results” on the part analysis screen (analysis results) shown in FIG. 8, and are the estimate results (estimated comparison results) presented on the first user terminal 100. In FIG. 9A and 9B, the information presenting unit 21 presents a total of five patterns of "repair costs," a total of two patterns of "purchase costs," a total of "vehicle scrapping costs," and a total of six pieces of "related information" to the first user terminal 100. Specifically, the related information is (1) the market price of a used vehicle, (2) the market price of a new vehicle, (3) the market price of a recommended used vehicle, (4) the dealer selling price of the damaged vehicle, (5) the auction price of the damaged vehicle, and (6) the transportation cost of the damaged vehicle. In addition, the "estimate result" information presented to the dealer may include additional information and various costs assuming that the owner will continue to use the vehicle, such as the repair period for the vehicle, current and future insurance costs for the vehicle, taxes, etc.

[0063] On the other hand, the quotation result presented to the second user terminal 200 is different from the quotation result presented to the first user terminal 100. Specifically, the second user terminal 200 is designed not to display any information enclosed in a dashed frame among the quotation result information shown in Figures 9A and 9B (see the "*" mark in Figures 9A and 9B). Specifically, one pattern of purchase cost designated by the repair / purchase dealer (for example, the first purchase cost) will be displayed. In addition, the "Other" items (4) dealer selling price, (5) auction price, and (6) shipping cost will not be displayed. In addition, the "estimate result" information presented to the owner may include additional information such as the repair period for the vehicle, current and future insurance costs for the vehicle, and taxes, just like the information for the contractor.

[0064] Depending on the method of presenting the estimate results (presentation pattern) described above, the repair and purchase company can present the owner of the vehicle with, for example, the "vehicle purchase cost (second purchase cost)" of the two purchase cost patterns, and offer to purchase the vehicle as a group of parts for 500,000 yen. In addition, the repair and purchase business can refer to the "other" related information (market price information) and propose to the owner of the vehicle that they will purchase the vehicle for 600,000 yen, adding 100,000 yen to the "vehicle purchase cost (second purchase cost)". In other words, the repair and purchase business can decide the purchase cost with an emphasis on profit or on market price information. They can also propose repair costs.

[0065] <<Model information presentation>> The model generation unit 22 generates a 3D model and a 2D model related to the moving object based on the type of the moving object identified by the type identification unit 16. Specifically, the model generation unit 22 generates the above 3D model and 2D model, and the information presentation unit 21 outputs a 3D stereoscopic view and a 2D development view of the damaged moving body through the VIEWER screen shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. Furthermore, the model generation unit 22 identifies the location of the damaged part in the 3D model and the 2D model based on the "part damage information" identified by the damage identification unit 18. Then, the information presentation unit 21 outputs the location of the damaged part in the 3D stereoscopic view and the 2D developed view in different display modes. Looking at Figures 10 and 11, we can see that the location of the damaged part (damaged area) is highlighted.

[0066] The 3D and 2D model information includes information on the disassembled model in which the moving object is disassembled into parts, and information on the damaged parts. The information on the damaged parts includes the type of part as well as the size, shape, and depth of the scratches on each part. By referring to the information on the disassembled model and the information on the damaged areas, the screen display unit 14 can switch the display from the "3D diagram" shown in FIG. 10 to a "parts exploded view" disassembled into parts, and display information on the damaged parts for each part. In this way, by using the VIEWER screens shown in Figures 10 and 11, repair and purchase companies can visually understand the structure of a damaged mobile unit and identify the parts that need to be repaired when repairing or replacing the unit.

[0067] <<Presentation of cost simulation>> The purchase cost calculation unit 20 refers to the "market price information for mobile objects" and calculates the "purchase cost" of the mobile object based on the reuse value of the mobile object and the repair costs of the mobile object, as well as calculating the "expected purchase cost" of the mobile object in the future. At this time, the purchase cost calculation unit 20 can calculate a more accurate "estimated purchase cost" by referring to the "reusability value of the mobile object" and "repair information" as well as the "future expenditure information of the mobile object (taxes, vehicle inspection costs)" stored in the mobile object information storage unit 11. The transition graph generating unit 23 generates "cost simulation information" including "purchase cost", "estimated purchase cost", "time series transition of estimated purchase cost", and "repair cost". Then, the information presenting unit 21 presents the "cost simulation information" as mobile object related information, as shown in Figs. 12 and 13.

[0068] Specifically, the information presenting unit 21 presents a "cost transition graph" required to deal with the damaged mobile object through a cost transition graph screen shown in FIG. 12 and FIG. FIG. 12 shows a "cost transition graph" of a damaged moving object at the present time and in the future when the damaged moving object is estimated with a similarity of 100%. The vertical axis of the "cost transition graph" shows the cost, and the horizontal axis shows the number of years since purchase. In the cost transition graph, the bar graph shows the current "repair cost," and the line graph shows the "current purchase cost" and the "projected purchase cost in the future."

[0069] In more detail, the transition graph generating unit 23 generates the "expense transition graph" by considering "tax information" required to maintain the mobile body and "vehicle inspection fee information" required for the vehicle inspection of the mobile body. In other words, the transition graph generating unit 23 can generate the "expense transition graph" by considering, for example, information on tax payment once a year and information on vehicle inspection fee payment once every two years (several years). The information presenting unit 21 presents the "expense transition graph" generated by the transition graph generating unit 23 on the display screen, as shown in Fig. 12. At this time, in order to make it easy to intuitively understand the timing of tax payment and the timing of vehicle inspection fee payment, the information presenting unit 21 can present tax information (tax amount, timing) and vehicle inspection fee information (amount, timing) on ​​the "expense transition graph" so as to be distinguished by predetermined identification marks.

[0070] Looking at Figure 12, we can see that the type of the damaged moving object was identified with 100% accuracy (estimated with 100% similarity), the repair cost is 300,000 yen, and the current purchase cost is 500,000 yen. In addition, we can see that the expected purchase cost three years from now is 160,000 yen, which means two years' worth of taxes and one vehicle inspection fee will be incurred. In addition, we can see that the expected purchase cost of the moving object gradually decreases over the years, and the reuse value of the moving object is decreasing.

[0071] For the sake of convenience, the "cost transition graph" shown in Fig. 12 shows only one pattern of repair costs, purchase costs, and estimated purchase costs, but multiple patterns of repair costs, purchase costs, and estimated purchase costs may be displayed. Alternatively, the graph may be divided into multiple tabs, and each cost transition graph may be displayed by switching between the tabs.

[0072] Next, FIG. 13 shows a "cost transition graph" of the damaged moving object at the present time and in the future when the damaged moving object is estimated to have a similarity of 80%. When the purchase cost calculation unit 20 cannot identify the type of the moving object, it calculates the "purchase cost" and "estimated purchase cost" of the moving object by varying them according to the similarity of the types. Similarly, the repair cost calculation unit 19 calculates the "repair cost" of the moving object by varying them according to the similarity of the types. In FIG. 13, since the moving object is estimated with a similarity of 80%, error information (error bar) equivalent to a difference of 20% is displayed in the cost transition graph.

[0073] In detail, the trend graph generation unit 23 generates a "cost trend graph" that includes "purchase cost", "estimated purchase cost", "time series trend of estimated purchase cost", and "repair cost" while taking into consideration the "similarity of type". Specifically, the trend graph generation unit 23 generates a "cost trend graph" to set upper and lower limits for each of the "purchase cost," "estimated purchase cost," and "repair cost" according to the similarity of the type (e.g., 80%), as shown in Figure 13. Then, the information presenting unit 21 presents the "cost transition graph" generated by the transition graph generating unit 23 on the display screen. At this time, error bars indicating the upper and lower limit values ​​of each of the "purchase cost", "estimated purchase cost", and "repair cost" according to the similarity of the type (e.g., 80%) are presented so as to be superimposed. In addition, the information presenting unit 21 may present the upper and lower limit lines of the "time series transition of estimated purchase cost (line graph)" so as to be superimposed, as shown in FIG. 13. By doing so, when the similarity between types is not 100% (when the similarity is between 1 and 99%), the first user and the second user can each intuitively understand the estimated amounts for "purchase cost," "expected purchase cost," and "repair cost."

[0074] From Figure 13, we can see that the type of the damaged vehicle was estimated with a similarity of 80%, the repair cost is 250,000-350,000 yen, and the current purchase cost is 450,000-550,000 yen. We can also see that the expected purchase cost three years from now is 120,000-200,000 yen, and two years' worth of taxes and one vehicle inspection fee will be required. In this way, by using the cost transition graph screens shown in Figures 12 and 13, the first user (vendor) and the second user (owner) can compare the "repair costs," "price costs," and "future expected repair purchase costs," simulate various costs, and determine the best way to deal with the damaged mobile unit.

[0075] <<Present the quotation creation screen>> Next, the quotation creation screens shown in FIG. 14 and FIG. 15, which are presented to the first user terminal 100 for the trader (first user), will be described. FIG. 14 shows a display screen (parts selection screen) after a screen transition from the part analysis screen (analysis result) shown in FIG. 8, for example, by a user operation by a contractor. FIG. 15 shows a display screen (work selection screen) after a screen transition from the screen shown in FIG. 14 has occurred after a part selection has been performed by a user operation in FIG. These screens and screen transition processes are not presented to the second user terminal 200 intended for the owner of the moving object (second user).

[0076] The quotation creation screens shown in Fig. 14 and Fig. 15 are presented when the contractor wishes to create a more accurate quotation after being presented with the corresponding information (quotation result) shown in Fig. 8 via the first user terminal 100. Alternatively, they are presented when the contractor wishes to correct the quotation result shown in Fig. 8. More specifically, when a user operates a button for executing "estimate creation" (not shown) displayed on a specific display screen (the part analysis screen shown in FIG. 8), the information presentation unit 21 transitions to the next screen and presents the estimate creation screen shown in FIG. 14 and FIG. 15.

[0077] The necessary parts presentation unit 24 presents the parts (group of parts) required for repairing or replacing the damaged moving body together with an illustration (3D exploded view) on the parts selection screen shown in Fig. 14. Then, upon receiving a part selection by a user operation, the necessary parts presentation unit 24 presents the part code, category, part name, part number, part unit price, etc. of the received group of parts. The necessary parts presentation unit 24 presents the parts group in the damaged portion (for example, the left rear door) together with an illustration. Therefore, the dealer can visually understand the damaged parts in the damaged portion. In addition, the dealer can also understand the details of the frame and inner parts of the damaged portion. The necessary parts presentation unit 24 may present only the damaged parts, or may present the damaged parts and peripheral parts and then present only the damaged parts in a different display mode (highlight).

[0078] The necessary work presentation unit 25 presents the work required to repair and replace the damaged moving body on the work selection screen shown in Fig. 15. Then, upon receiving the selection of the work content by the user's operation, the necessary work presentation unit 25 presents the work conditions, index, labor cost, material cost, etc. of the received work content. As described above, the information display device 1 can display the necessary parts and work contents, determine the necessary parts and work contents according to the user's decision operation, and display the estimate result (repair cost). In this way, the dealer can correct and adjust the estimate result displayed by the information display device 1 and propose the estimate result to the owner of the moving object.

[0079] The information display device 1 can display to the user an appropriate method of dealing with a damaged moving object. In addition, the information display device 1 can display to the user moving object-related information including an estimate of "repair cost" and an estimate of "purchase cost" based on the repair cost, allowing the user to determine an appropriate method of dealing with the moving object. The information presentation device 1 exchanges information with both the first user terminal 100 and the second user terminal 200, and first presents "mobile object related information" to the first user terminal 100, and then presents the "mobile object related information" corrected (adjusted) by the first user terminal 100 to the second user terminal 200. Alternatively, the information display device 1 can directly exchange information with the second user terminal 200 and directly display the “mobile object-related information” to the second user terminal 200.

[0080] <Information presentation method> Next, the process of the information presentation program (information presentation method) executed by the information presentation system S will be described with reference to FIG. The above program in this embodiment is a program for realizing the above-mentioned repair information memory unit 13, screen display unit 14, type identification unit 15, type identification unit 16, structural information acquisition unit 17, damage identification unit 18, repair cost calculation unit 19, purchase cost calculation unit 20, information presentation unit 21, model generation unit 22, transition graph generation unit 23, necessary parts presentation unit 24, and necessary work presentation unit 25 as functional components of the information presentation device 1, which is equipped with a memory unit 10, a mobile object information memory unit 11, and a part information memory unit 12, and the CPU (processor) of the information presentation device 1 executes this information presentation program. The above program is executed upon receiving an operational instruction from a user.

[0081] In the process flow of the "information presentation method" shown in Fig. 16, the process starts when an image of a moving object is input. The moving objects captured in the image include damaged moving objects and undamaged moving objects (non-damaged moving objects). When an image input is accepted, the process starts from step S1 in which the type identification unit 15 acquires type information of the damaged moving object. Specifically, the type identification unit 15 acquires "vehicle registration information (first type information)" from the user terminal 100, 200 through a vehicle registration information input screen shown in Fig. 4. Alternatively, the type identification unit 15 acquires "vehicle registration number (first type information)" through a vehicle registration number input screen shown in Fig. 5. When the first type information cannot be obtained, the type identification unit 15 can obtain second type information such as the vehicle model, vehicle name, and vehicle shape through a type information obtaining screen (not shown).

[0082] Then, in step S2, the type identification unit 15 identifies the type of the moving object based on the "type information" and the "moving object information" of the moving object managed by the moving object information storage unit 11. Then, when the type identification unit 15 acquires the "first type information" and identifies the type of the moving object, the type specification unit 16 specifies the type of the moving object with a similarity of 100% based on this identification result. On the other hand, if "second type information" is obtained instead of "first type information", the type identification unit 15 estimates the type of the moving object based on the "second type information" and the "moving object information". Then, the type specification unit 16 specifies the estimated type of the moving object and the "similarity" of the moving object.

[0083] Then, in step S3, the structure information acquisition unit 17 acquires structure information (damaged image data) of the moving object measured using the depth sensor. Specifically, the structural information acquisition unit 17 acquires, from the user terminals 100 and 200, “damaged image data” of the moving object captured by the imaging device 201.

[0084] Then, in step S4, the damage identification unit 18 identifies "damage information of parts" constituting the moving object based on the "structural information" and the "parts information" stored by the part information storage unit 12. In detail, the damage identification unit 18 compares a damaged part of a moving body with a corresponding normal part based on the "structural information (damage image data)" and the "part information," and identifies the "part damage information."

[0085] Then, in step S5, the repair cost calculation unit 19 calculates the "repair cost" required to repair the part of the mobile object based on the "part damage information" and the "repair information" stored by the repair information storage unit 13. Then, in step S6, the purchase price calculation unit 20 calculates a "first purchase price" for the purchase of the mobile body based on the repair cost of the mobile body, and a "second purchase price" for the purchase of the mobile body based on the reuse value of the mobile body's parts. In detail, the purchase cost calculation unit 20 refers to "market price information (market price) of a moving body" and calculates a "first purchase cost" based on the "reusability value of the moving body" and the "repair cost" of the moving body. Also, the purchase cost calculation unit 20 refers to "market price information (market price) of parts" and calculates a "second purchase cost" based on the "reusability value of parts" and the "scrapping cost of the moving body".

[0086] Then, in step S7, the information presenter 21 presents the moving object related information to the user terminals 100 and 200. Specifically, the information presenting unit 21 presents "corresponding information" of the damaged mobile body through a part analysis screen (analysis result) shown in Fig. 7 and Fig. 8. The "corresponding information" includes "vehicle information," "repair cost," "purchase cost," "discarding cost," "cost related to other processing," and "repair / replacement parts list" for the damaged mobile body. Furthermore, the information presenting unit 21 outputs a 3D model (a 3D solid diagram) and a 2D model (a 2D developed diagram) of the damaged moving object through the VIEWER screen shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. Furthermore, the information presenting unit 21 presents "cost simulation information (cost transition graph)" required to deal with the damaged mobile unit through the cost transition graph screen shown in FIG. 12 and FIG. The "cost simulation information" includes "purchase cost", "estimated purchase cost", "time series change in estimated purchase cost", and "repair cost".

[0087] After going through steps S1 to S7, the process of FIG. 16 ends. Using the above-described information presentation method, it is possible to present the user with mobile object-related information including an estimate of "repair costs" and an estimate of "purchase costs" based on the repair costs, thereby enabling the user to determine an appropriate course of action for the damaged mobile object. The order of steps S1, S2 and steps S3, S4 may be reversed.

[0088] <Other embodiments> In the above embodiment, the information presenter 21 presents "mobile object related information" to the user terminals 100 and 200, but the details of the mobile object related information are not particularly limited. In other words, the "mobile object-related information" in this embodiment includes "response information (repair costs, purchase costs)", "model information", and "cost simulation information", but is not limited to these information. For example, the "mobile object related information" may include other related information for the damaged mobile object, or may include only "response information (repair cost, purchase cost)."

[0089] In the above embodiment, an information presentation program is stored in a recording medium readable by the information presentation device 1, and the information presentation device 1 reads and executes the program to execute processing. Here, the recording medium readable by the information presentation device 1 (non-transitory recording medium) refers to a magnetic disk, a magneto-optical disk, a CD-ROM, a DVD-ROM, a semiconductor memory, etc. In addition, a terminal (mobile terminal) serving as the information presentation device 1 may be used to start up dedicated software, and the information presentation program may be executed on a web browser.

[0090] In the above embodiment, the information presentation device, the part information management method, and the part information management program according to the present invention have been mainly described. However, the above embodiment is merely an example for facilitating understanding of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention. The present invention can be modified or improved without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and the present invention naturally includes equivalents thereof.
