Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a property management device, a property management system, a property management method, and a property management program for managing property managed by a user as a transaction target, and particularly relates to a property management device, a property management system, a property management method, and a property management program capable of assisting the activation of transactions.

Background Art

[0002] If the property owned by a user is real estate, it is registered in the register, and if it is some movable property such as a car, it is registered with the land transportation office or the like. However, such registration in the register or at the land transportation office is not premised on active publication, and it is hard to say that it is an effective means when it is desired to inform a third party of the ownership of the property. For example, there may be a case where a user wants to publicly announce to a third party that they own collector's items collected as a hobby, but in the past, there was no effective method other than to publicly announce it on a social networking system (SNS) such as an individual blog.

[0003] On the other hand, when the property managed by a user is to be a transaction target, it is necessary to clarify the property to be the transaction target. That is, in order to sell or buy property in the market, at least information regarding the property must be published. As a technology related to the publication of such possessions, Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-167151) has been proposed. The vehicle trading system in this document discloses that used car information can be made public when the selling conditions are met. Also, there is a commercial transaction as a scene for publicly announcing the property one owns. For example, the vending system and method of Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-117340) disclose a vending system that facilitates receiving goods at a destination and can particularly prevent leakage of personal information of a user.

Prior Art Documents

Patent Documents

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2001-167151 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2002-117340 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0005] However, these technologies are intended for the buying and selling of goods and enable the proper conduct of such transactions. Therefore, one of the objectives of the present invention is to provide a property management device that can identify opportunities for property transactions without requiring transactions such as buying, selling, transferring, or lending.

[0006] Furthermore, in cases where the purpose is buying and selling, as in the prior art described above, it is necessary to make information about the items to be bought and sold public, but it has been difficult to determine what would be an appropriate price to set for such transactions. Therefore, another objective of the present invention is to provide an asset management device that accepts registration of assets managed by users and makes them public as items for transaction, but does not necessarily require setting a price for transfer or lease, and can receive offers from those who wish to acquire or borrow such assets.

[0007] Furthermore, while there are properties that users wish to acquire or borrow, the owners, users, and other managers of those properties are often unknown, making it impossible to initiate a transaction in such cases. Additionally, while some individuals may not necessarily desire to transfer or lease their property, they may be willing to do so under certain conditions. Therefore, another objective of this invention is to provide a property management device that allows users to disclose the properties they manage, regardless of whether they intend to transfer or lease them, and enables them to conduct such transactions depending on the conditions presented by those interested in transferring or leasing the property.

[0008] Furthermore, when someone wishes to transfer or lease specific property, depending on the property, it may be possible to find out the owner or user by checking the real estate registry or the land transport bureau's registration. However, if such a registry does not exist, for example, if the property is a wristwatch or a collector's item, it was impossible to find out the owner. Therefore, another objective of the present invention is to provide a property management device that makes it possible to find out the manager, including the owner and user, of the property.

[0009] Furthermore, when users transfer or lease assets they manage, and when prospective buyers or borrowers make applications, they often want to know the value of those assets. However, in the buying and selling systems proposed in Patent Document 1 and others, the seller subjectively determines the value, and there is no objective basis for judgment. In particular, for assets for which the criteria for calculating market prices are not clearly defined, the valuation of the asset is important for the completion of a transaction. Therefore, another objective of the present invention is to provide an asset management device that can support the valuation of assets managed by users, or an asset management device that allows prospective buyers or borrowers to present the objective value of the asset in question and conduct commercial transactions. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides an asset management device that allows assets to be traded without setting a price for the transaction, and / or allows the value of the assets to be traded to be grasped.

[0011] In other words, the property management device according to the present invention is configured using a computer and is a property management device for managing transactions of at least one of tangible and intangible property managed by a user, comprising: a property information storage unit that holds property identification information that identifies property managed by a user and user information that identifies the user who manages said property; and a transaction application information storage unit that holds transaction application information consisting of application information for transfer or lease for property identified by at least one of the property identification information and user information, wherein the property identification information and user information can be formed without requiring consideration information for the transfer or lease of said property as an essential constituent element.

[0012] The property information storage unit can hold publication identification information that specifies whether to publish or not publish at least one of the property identification information and / or the user information, and can be equipped with a publication management unit that manages the publication of at least one of the property identification information and the user information based on the publication identification information. The publication identification information can also be configured to allow for the selection of not publishing either the property identification information or the user information. That is, the publication identification information can include information that specifies not to publish, in addition to information that specifies to publish the property identification information and / or the user information. When selecting not to publish, radio buttons can be provided to select whether to publish the property identification information and / or the user information, or to select not to publish, etc.

[0013] Furthermore, the aforementioned publicly disclosed information may include public disclosure condition information that specifies at least one of the conditions for disclosure and the scope of disclosure by the public disclosure management department.

[0014] <<Property Transaction Support Device and Transaction Support System>> Furthermore, in order to solve at least one of the above problems, the present invention provides a property transaction support device (or property management device) configured to conduct transactions using the property management device.

[0015] In other words, the present invention provides a property management device configured using a computer for managing at least one of tangible and intangible assets managed by a user, comprising: a property information storage unit that holds property identification information that identifies the assets managed by the user and user information that identifies the user who manages the assets; a publication management unit that manages the publication of at least one of the property identification information and user information based on the publication identification information held by the property information storage unit; a transaction application information storage unit that holds transaction application information consisting of application information for transfer or lease for the assets identified by at least one of the property identification information and user information published by the publication management unit; and a property valuation unit that calculates the market value of the assets identified by at least one of the property identification information and user information. The property valuation unit can use the property identification information held by the property information storage unit to evaluate the value of the property based on current or past transaction records of the same or similar property.

[0016] In such a property transaction support device, the transaction request information may include rank information that specifies, in stages, the degree to which the user intends to transfer or lease the property. Furthermore, the information held by the transaction request information storage unit may include transaction element information that identifies factors influencing the formation of the intention to transfer or lease the property, and the information that the publication management unit manages to publish may include such transaction element information. In addition, the device may be provided with a transaction application information storage unit that holds transaction application information consisting of application information for transfer or lease for property identification information published by the publication management unit.

[0017] Furthermore, in order to solve at least one of the aforementioned problems, the present invention provides a property transaction support system (or property management system) formed using the above-mentioned property transaction support device (or property management device).

[0018] That is, the present invention provides a property transaction support system (or property management system) comprising the property transaction support device (or property management device) described above, a user terminal operated by the user connected to the property management device via a network, and a prospective user terminal operated by a prospective user who wishes to acquire or borrow the property, wherein the public disclosure management unit in the property transaction support device (or property management device) discloses at least one of the property identification information and user information based on the public disclosure identification information held by the property information storage unit, and a transaction execution unit that discloses transaction application information obtained from the prospective user terminal to the user terminal.

[0019] <<Property Valuation Support Device and Valuation Support System>> Furthermore, in order to solve at least one of the above problems, the present invention provides an asset valuation support device (or asset management device) configured to evaluate the value of assets using the asset management device.

[0020] That is, the present invention provides an asset valuation support device (or asset management device) configured using the asset management device according to the present invention, further comprising an asset valuation unit that calculates the market value of an asset identified by at least one of the asset identification information and user information. The asset valuation unit may use the asset identification information held by the asset information storage unit to evaluate the value of the asset based on current or past transaction records of the same or similar asset, or it may provide historical information (such as transaction history or the history of the asset's administrator) relating to the asset.

[0021] Such a property valuation support device (or property management device) may further include an appraisal information acquisition unit that acquires appraisal information output from an external appraisal device connected via a network, regarding the value of the property evaluated by the property valuation unit.

[0022] In the present invention, in order to solve at least one of the above problems, a property evaluation support system (or property management system) formed using the above property evaluation support device (or property management device) is provided.

[0023] That is, a property management system comprising the property evaluation support device (or property management device) according to the present invention, a user terminal operated by the user connected to the property management device via a network, and a claimant terminal operated by a claimant who wishes to transfer or borrow the property. When the property evaluation support system (or property management system) holds property identification information in the property information storage unit of the property evaluation support device (or property management device) or obtains a property value evaluation request from the user terminal or the claimant terminal, the property evaluation unit evaluates the value of the property to create evaluation information and publishes the evaluation information to at least one of the user terminal and the claimant terminal. In the present invention, a property management system comprising the property management device according to the present invention and a claimant terminal operated by a claimant who wishes to transfer or receive or borrow the property, connected to the property management device via a network. The evaluation of the value of the property in the property evaluation unit is executed upon obtaining application information for transfer or lending from the claimant terminal, and the transaction application information holds the evaluation result of the value of the property in the property evaluation unit and the conditions for transfer or borrowing of the property transmitted from the claimant terminal as transaction application information.

Advantages of the Invention

[0024] In the property management device according to the present invention, since the property identification information and user information published by the publication management unit do not have the consideration information for the transfer or lending of the property as an essential component, it can be used for transactions without specifying the consideration for the transfer or lending. Therefore, even if the property managed by the user is currently in use, it can be easily made the subject of a transaction, and all of the property can be made the subject of a transaction (i.e., inventory). Such a property management device may include a publication management unit that manages the publication or non-publication of at least one of the property identification information and user information based on the publication identification information held by the property information storage unit. In this case, the user can arbitrarily select and manage whether to publish or not publish the property identification information and / or user information held in the property information storage unit. In particular, since it is possible to select not to publish any of the property identification information and user information as the publication identification information, the information regarding the property can be anonymized. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a property management device that can centrally manage the tangible and intangible property managed by the user and can arbitrarily select whether to publish or not publish the property.

[0025] In particular, even when the property identification information and / or user information are published by the publication management unit, since the publication is not necessarily for the purpose of transfer or lending, it can be a property management device that can simply publish that the user is managing. As a result, a third party can know the manager including the owner or user of the property. That is, it is possible to provide a property management device that allows a person who wishes to transfer or borrow the property to know the transaction partner.

[0026] And by having the publication identification information hold publication condition information that specifies at least one of the conditions for the publication management unit to publish and the scope of the publication, it is possible to arbitrarily control the publication timing and scope of the information of the property held or managed by the user, and it is possible to provide a property management device that can publish information regarding the property as needed and within the necessary scope.

[0027] Furthermore, the property management device according to the present invention further includes a transaction preference information storage unit that stores transaction preference information that identifies whether or not the user intends to transfer or lease the property, and the transaction preference information may also include the option not to transfer or lease the property, and the public disclosure management unit may include the transaction preference information as information that it manages to make public.

[0028] Such an asset management device can provide opportunities for transactions and support them by clearly indicating whether a user wishes to transfer or lease an asset when disclosing the asset identification information and / or user information stored in the asset information storage unit of the device. In particular, by disclosing this information as rank information indicating the degree of the user's request for transfer or lease in stages, prospective buyers or borrowers who have access to the asset identification information and / or user information can predict the likelihood of a transaction. Furthermore, since the transaction request information does not necessarily need to specify the consideration or conditions for transfer or lease, assets managed by users, even those currently in use, can be subject to transactions (i.e., inventory), thereby increasing transaction opportunities.

[0029] Furthermore, if the information held by the transaction request information storage unit includes transaction element information that identifies factors influencing the formation of a user's intention to transfer or lease property they manage, and the information managed by the publication management unit includes such transaction element information, then a person wishing to acquire or lease property can decide whether or not to make a transaction application based on such transaction element information.

[0030] Furthermore, by providing a transaction application information storage unit that holds transaction application information consisting of application information for transfer or loan for the property identification information published by the aforementioned publication management unit, it becomes possible to notify users when an application for transfer or loan has been made. In this case, if the transaction application information includes transaction conditions such as consideration and timing, these can also be notified to the user. As a result, the property management device can be configured so that users can publish the property they manage, regardless of whether they intend to transfer or lend it, and conduct transactions such as transfer or lending depending on the conditions presented by those who wish to trade. Consequently, even if it is unclear whether the property managed by the user can be the subject of a transaction such as transfer or lending, or even if it is property currently in use, it can be easily published as a transaction item (inventory).

[0031] Furthermore, if the asset management device according to the present invention includes an asset valuation unit that uses asset identification information held by the asset information storage unit to evaluate the value of the asset based on current or past transaction records of the same or similar asset, or provides historical information related to the asset (such as transaction history and the history of the asset's administrator), then an objective value judgment can be made even for assets for which there are no market standards for valuation. Thus, it is possible to provide an asset management device that can support the valuation of assets managed by the user. In particular, when a prospective buyer or borrower of property subject to a transaction makes a transaction offer, the terms of the transaction, along with the valuation results from the property valuation department, can be submitted to the user (i.e., the person transferring or leasing the property). As a result, the user can decide whether to accept or reject the transaction offer after considering the market value and other factors. Therefore, this property management system allows users to conduct transactions regarding their owned property with peace of mind. Furthermore, if the valuation results from the property valuation department are accompanied by appraisal results from an external expert organization, the reliability of the valuation results can be enhanced, further stimulating commercial transactions.

[0033] The property management device 10 according to this embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In particular, the property management device 10 according to this embodiment is specifically implemented as a "property disclosure management device 11 and disclosure management system 110" that manages whether to disclose or not disclose information (property identification information 85 and / or user information) about property (objects) held in the property information storage unit 21, a "property transaction support device 12 and transaction support system 120" that supports transactions of property held in the property information storage unit 21, and a "property valuation support device 13 and valuation support system 130" that supports the evaluation of the value of property held in the property information storage unit 21. ≪Property Disclosure Management Device 11 and Disclosure Management System 110≫

[0034] Figure 1 shows a block diagram of a property management device 10 according to the first embodiment, and in particular shows a property disclosure management device 11 that manages the disclosure or non-disclosure of a user's property. The property management device 10 shown in Figure 1 is configured using a computer and comprises a property information storage unit 21 that holds property identification information 85, user information, and public identification information, and a public disclosure management unit 22 that manages the public disclosure or non-public disclosure of the property identification information 85 and / or user information. The computer includes the necessary components for performing information processing, specifically a memory unit 23 for holding programs and data, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 24 for calculating and executing information processing, a memory 25 for reading and writing data when the CPU 24 performs information processing, and an input / output interface 26 for issuing effective commands to the CPU 24 and outputting information from the CPU 24. Furthermore, the public information management unit 22 can be configured using a CPU 24, memory 25, and input / output interface 26, etc., in a computer.

[0035] The property managed by the aforementioned user may be real estate information such as land or buildings if it is tangible property (a physical object), and may also include trees attached to the land. In addition, tangible property may include beverages such as wine, sake, and brandy; precious metal products such as bullion, coins, rings, necklaces, and watches; collector's items such as toys, stamps, works of art, and crafts; vehicles such as automobiles, motorcycles, airplanes, and trains; sporting goods such as golf equipment; storage items such as bags and cases; and apparel items such as clothes and shoes. Any other item that can be bought and sold is not excluded. Of course, everyday items may also be included. Furthermore, if the property is intangible, it may include intellectual property rights such as patent rights, utility model rights, design rights, trademark rights, and copyrights, as well as intellectual property such as trade secrets, and may also include program source code. In other words, the property management device 10 according to the present invention can manage any property without particular restriction, as long as ownership or usage rights can be determined or the property has asset value. Furthermore, the management of assets by users includes not only the state of maintaining and possessing assets in an appropriate state, but also the state of the user owning the assets and the state of simply using assets owned by a third party other than the user. In other words, assets managed by users include not only assets managed by the user, but also assets owned by the user and assets used by the user.

[0036] The aforementioned property identification information 85 is information for identifying the property managed by the property management device 10 or information for evaluating the value of the property, and its contents (or items) can be arbitrarily selected depending on the type of property in question. Such property identification information 85 only needs to be information that can identify the property in question or information that can assess the value of the property, and it is particularly desirable that it includes information that affects the value of the property.

[0037] Figure 2 is a list of items that can be included in the property identification information 85, and these items can be used as items when composing a file (or database). As shown in Figure 2, these items (i.e., the information that constitutes the property identification information 85) can be changed depending on the type of property. Specifically, if the property is land, the property identification information 85 can be composed of "image," "location," "area," and "legal regulations." If the property is a building, the property identification information 85 can be composed of "image," "location," "area," "year built," "floor plan," "structure," and "legal regulations." If the property is a vehicle, the property identification information 85 can be composed of "image," "location," "manufacturer (brand)," "model," "grade," "color," "registration year," and "mileage." If the property is an item such as a watch or a bag, the property identification information 85 can be composed of "image," "location," "item name," "manufacturer," "condition," and "color." Furthermore, if the property in question is a collector's item such as a stamp, a work of art, or a craft, the property identification information 85 can be composed of "image," "location," "item name," "manufacturer," "condition," and "color." Also, if the property in question is an industrial property right such as a patent, utility model right, design right, or trademark right, or an intangible property right such as a copyright, plant breeder's right, or circuit layout right, the property identification information 85 can be composed of "type of right," "content," and "remaining term (or date of right creation)." Furthermore, if the property in question is a business model that includes trade secrets, the property identification information 85 can be composed of "business content," "related rights," "customers," and "equipment." In addition, each property registered for each type of property may be assigned "property type identification information" for management purposes.

[0038] The user information mentioned above only needs to identify the user who manages the property. This identification can be direct or indirect; it is sufficient if the user who manages the property is identified.

[0039] Figure 3 is a file (or database) configuration diagram showing the items that can be included in the user information. In particular, in this embodiment, in addition to the "User ID" 31 assigned to each user, user contact information 32 such as "User Name," "User Address," "User Telephone Number," "User Email Address," and "SNS Username" can be included as items to identify the user and be used as contact information. Furthermore, a nickname may be included as the display name when publishing the user information. The user information also includes a "Registered Assets" item 33, which contains information about the assets registered by the user. This allows for linking the user with their registered assets. However, the link between the user and their registered assets may be managed by creating a user ID 31 in the publicly identified information described later, or by linking the user ID 31 and the asset type identification number 40 separately in a master file or the like.

[0040] The aforementioned publicly disclosed information may consist of information that specifies whether to disclose or not disclose at least one of the property identification information 85 and user information. Furthermore, by making it possible to choose not to disclose either the property identification information 85 or the user information as the publicly disclosed information, it is possible to realize property management that does not presuppose disclosure.

[0041] Figure 4 is a file (or database) configuration diagram showing items that can be included in the publicly disclosed identification information. In particular, in this embodiment, radio buttons 41 can be provided to select whether to disclose or not disclose the property identification information 85 and / or user information. As such publicly disclosed identification information, either only radio buttons 41 for selecting disclosure or only radio buttons 41 for selecting not to disclose can be provided.

[0042] The publicly identified information may include publicly identified conditions information 42, which specifies the conditions and / or scope for the public disclosure of the property identified information 85 and / or user information by the public disclosure management unit 22. This publicly identified conditions information may include fixed conditions such as the timing of disclosure, as well as conditions for disclosure based on external factors such as when the exchange rate reaches a predetermined amount or when a transaction of other property is completed. When the conditions set in the publicly identified conditions information are met, the user terminal 51 can be notified to prompt disclosure, or the property management device 10 can execute the disclosure process. Furthermore, a "Publication Scope" item 43 may be provided to specify the scope of publication of information relating to the property (i.e., property identification information 85 and / or user information). This "Publication Scope" item 43 may be configured to allow selection of the geographical scope of publication of the property identification information 85 and / or user information, as well as age, gender, income, etc. The publication conditions information may also include a "Publication Content" item 44 that specifies the content of the publication, which identifies the content of the property identification information 85 and / or user information to be published.

[0043] The disclosure conditions information shown in Figure 4 can be formed by items consisting of: disclosure conditions 42 (disclosure date and time, external factors) for disclosing property identification information 85 and / or user information; disclosure scope 43 (disclosure region, target persons) for specifying the persons to whom the property identification information 85 and / or user information is to be disclosed; and disclosure content 44 (specific information included in the property identification information 85 or user information items) for specifying the content to be disclosed when disclosing property identification information 85 and / or user information.

[0044] By registering property identification information 85 and / or user information in the property information storage unit 21 as described above, the property management device 10 can manage the property identified by this property identification information 85 and / or user information. In particular, if there is property for which property identification information 85 and / or user information has been registered in the property information storage unit 21, it is desirable for the property management device 10 to provide a related property transaction information provision unit 27 that provides transaction information regarding the transfer or lease of other similar or related property. The related property transaction information provision unit 27 extracts transaction information such as whether or not there have been transactions such as transfers or leases of property related to the property identified by the property identification information 85 and / or user information registered in the property information storage unit 21, as well as transaction conditions and timing of transactions, from the transaction application information described later and information existing on the network. Subsequently, the related property transaction information provision unit 27 can notify the user who registered the property identification information 85 and / or user information of this information. The extraction of information existing on the network can be performed by artificial intelligence. In this case, it is desirable that the user set the degree and scope of extraction of similarity and relevance of properties by artificial intelligence.

[0045] The transaction information provided by the above-mentioned Related Property Transaction Information Provision Unit 27 can also be used by the Property Valuation Unit 30, described later, as information for valuing the value of the property. Therefore, the property management device 10 according to this embodiment can be configured to acquire transaction information regarding similar or related properties (related properties), and further information regarding the value of properties evaluated by the property valuation unit 30, which will be described later, regardless of whether the property identification information 85 and / or user information are made public or kept private. The public disclosure management device 11 and the public disclosure management system 110, by providing the related property transaction information provision unit 27, can acquire information on transaction history and the value of similar or related properties, even for properties that are not currently being traded. Users can use this information as a reference when judging the value of such properties. Based on the result of the valuation judgment of such properties, users can specify transaction preference information that indicates their intention to transfer or lease such properties.

[0046] Furthermore, the property management device 10 may also be provided with a transaction history disclosure unit 28 that discloses the transaction history when a transaction is concluded for property identified by the property identification information 85 and / or user information registered in the property information storage unit 21, regardless of whether the property identification information 85 and / or user information has been made public or not. The transaction history published by the Transaction History Publication Section 28 may include information about the assets being traded (transaction asset information), the date of the transaction, the amount of the transaction, and other information that may be useful for other transactions, but it may be configured not to publish personal information that could identify the parties to the transaction, such as users or interested parties.

[0047] The property management device 10 (property disclosure management device 11) having the above configuration can be further connected via a network to a user terminal 51 operated by the user and a prospective user terminal 52 operated by a prospective user who wishes to acquire or borrow the property, thereby forming a property management system 100 (property disclosure management system 110). In such a property management system 100 (property disclosure management system 110), property identification information 85 and / or user information that are input or transmitted from the user terminal 51 or collected via the network can be stored in the property information storage unit 21.

[0048] Figure 5 is a sequence diagram showing the processing of the property management system 100 (property disclosure management system 110) constructed using the property disclosure management device 11, and Figure 6 shows a screen on which property identification information 85 and / or user information can be registered from the user terminal 51.

[0049] The property management system 100 (property disclosure management system 110) first collects property identification information 85 and / or user information from information transmitted from the user terminal 51 or publicly available on the network, and registers these in the property information storage unit 21. As shown in Figure 5, when registering property identification information 85 and / or user information from a user terminal 51, the user terminal 51 connects to the public disclosure management device 11 via the network, thereby displaying the input screen shown in Figure 6 (S51). Users can also register their user information in advance, in which case they can omit entering user information on the input screen. Using this input screen, the user enters information that identifies the property to be registered in the property management device 10 (property disclosure management device 11) (S52). The items of information to be entered can be changed according to the type of property in question, as shown in Figure 2 above. Therefore, the input screen displays information categorized by the type of property (more specifically, by the "Property Type Identification Number 40" mentioned above). By specifying the type of property, the input screen can also display the categorized input items in stages. An example of the input screen at this time is shown in Figure 6. Figure 6(A) shows the input screen when "Real Estate > Land" is selected as the property in question, and Figure 6(B) shows the input screen when "Movable Property > Automobile" is selected.

[0050] Next, the property management device 10 (property disclosure management device 11) acquires the property identification information 85 and / or user information. When acquiring the property identification information 85 and / or user information from information publicly available on the network, the user information can include the URL on the network and information about the person who posted the information. Furthermore, the property identification information 85 may be the information itself posted on the network, or it may be new information obtained by processing that information, such as by extracting or adding necessary information.

[0051] When acquiring such property identification information 85 and / or user information, or after acquiring it, the user can input publicly disclosed identification information and / or publicly disclosed condition information using the user terminal 51. As a result, the property management device 10 (property public disclosure management device 11) acquires publicly disclosed identification information that specifies whether to disclose or not disclose this information (S53), and stores it in the property information storage unit 21, etc. (S54). Next, the property management device 10 (property disclosure management device 11) executes a process to set the acquired property identification information 85 and / or user information to either public or non-public based on the public identification information (S55), and maintains each piece of information in either a public or non-public state. In particular, if such publicly disclosed specific information includes the aforementioned disclosure condition information, the conditions for disclosing this information and the scope of disclosure are controlled or selected in accordance with the said disclosure condition information (S56).

[0052] In the asset management system 100 (asset disclosure management system 110) configured as described above, the asset identification information 85 is stored in association with user information, allowing the user to centrally manage their registered assets. Furthermore, the user can appropriately manage their assets by arbitrarily setting whether or not to disclose specific assets among their registered assets, the timing of disclosure, and the conditions for disclosure.

[0053] Therefore, the asset management device 10 centrally manages the assets managed by the user and allows the user to arbitrarily choose whether to make such assets public or not. Furthermore, since it is possible to register assets without requiring transactions such as buying, selling, transferring, or lending, the user can use the asset management device 10 in the desired form for managing such assets.

[0054] ≪Property Transaction Support Device 12 and Transaction Support System 120≫ Figure 7 shows a block diagram of the property management device 10 according to the second embodiment, and in particular shows a property transaction support device 12 that assists in the transaction of the user's property. The property management device 10 (property transaction support device 12) shown in Figure 7 is configured using a computer and, in addition to the property management device 10 (property disclosure management device 11) shown in the first embodiment, is configured to further include a transaction request information storage unit 29 that holds transaction request information 81 that identifies whether the user intends to transfer or lease the property or otherwise. Such transaction preference information 81 is information that allows the user to choose not to transfer or lease the property, and can be set at any time. By allowing the setting of transaction preference information 81, users can be encouraged to register information about their property regardless of whether they wish to conduct a transaction or not. Furthermore, the transaction preference information 81 may include transaction conditions information 82 as information that the public disclosure management unit 22 manages to disclose.

[0055] In other words, the property management device 10 (property transaction support device 12) according to this embodiment manages whether to make the information held in the property information storage unit 21 public or not, and is also configured to allow the user to select whether or not to conduct transactions such as transfer or lending. Therefore, users can register even properties that they do not wish to trade with peace of mind.

[0056] The input screen shown in Figure 8 includes an input field for entering transaction request information 81, in addition to the information that can be entered on the input screen shown in Figure 6(B). The information entered in this transaction request information 81 input field can be recorded in the transaction request information storage unit 29 in file format or database format.

[0057] The transaction request information 81 includes information that the user wishes to transfer or lease, etc., the property managed by the property management device 10 (property transaction support device 12), and also includes information that allows the user to choose not to transfer or lease, etc., the property. Such transaction request information 81 may be information that can be selected independently of the property identification information 85 and / or the public identification information that specifies whether or not to make the user information public. For example, the transaction preference information 81 may include information indicating a desire to transfer or lease the property, but without disclosing the aforementioned property identification information 85 or user information. In particular, by making the transaction preference information 81 information that includes the option of not transferring or leasing the property, the property management device 10 can only disclose the property without the desire to transfer or lease it.

[0058] Furthermore, the transaction request information 81 may optionally include transaction conditions information 82 that specifies the terms of the transaction, such as the consideration, timing, and scope of the transaction (the scope of the trading partner, the region, or the scope of the property to be traded). However, since it is important for the property management device 10 (property transaction support device 12) according to this embodiment to disclose the person (user) who manages the property, it is not necessarily required to specify the transaction conditions, such as the consideration for the transfer or lease transaction. The terms of the transaction can also be determined after receiving proposals from those wishing to acquire or borrow the property. In other words, the property management device 10 (property transaction support device 12) according to this embodiment only needs to be able to identify the owner, user, or manager of the property and to make public the user's intention to transfer or lease the property. As a result, the transaction support device 12 provides users with the management of their assets and opportunities to trade those assets. Furthermore, the transaction support device 12 can also provide opportunities to trade those assets to those who wish to acquire or lease them.

[0059] In the property management device 10 (property transaction support device 12) according to this embodiment, the transaction request information 81 may include rank information 83 that specifies the degree to which the user intends to transfer or lease the property in stages. The rank information 83 can consist of information that identifies the degree to which a user intends to engage in a transaction such as transfer or lending. This rank information 83 can be formed in a slider format as shown in Figure 8, and may also include information that identifies the intention to engage in a transaction such as transfer or lending in stages using numbers or symbols that specify multiple levels, such as "I want to transfer (or lend)", "I'm willing to transfer (or lend)", "I'm willing to transfer (or lend) depending on the conditions", and "I will not transfer (or lend)". Based on this rank information, interested parties can decide whether to start a transaction, change the display order based on the rank information, and furthermore, this rank information can be used as an extraction item.

[0060] Furthermore, the information held by the transaction request information storage unit 29 may include transaction element information 84 that identifies factors influencing the formation of the intention to transfer or lease property. The information managed by the publication management unit 22 may also include such transaction element information 84 as information that is managed for publication.

[0061] Such transaction element information 84 may consist of information that identifies elements that would make one want to transfer or lend property, even if they are not transaction conditions. This transaction element information 84 may include not only the consideration for the transfer or lending transaction, but also information that is useful in determining whether it is acceptable for a user to transfer or lend their property, such as the location, timing, age, and gender of the person who wishes to transfer or lend the property. In the example shown in Figure 8, "knowledge of cars" is listed as transaction element information 84. By also disclosing such transaction element information 84, it becomes easier for interested parties who meet the requirements to apply for the transfer or lease of the property, thereby promoting transactions.

[0062] Furthermore, the property management device 10 according to this embodiment can be configured to accept applications for transactions such as acquisition or borrowing from interested parties who have viewed the publicly disclosed property identification information 85 and user information. That is, the property management device 10 can further include a transaction application information storage unit 20 that holds transaction application information consisting of application information for transactions such as acquisition or borrowing for property identified in the property identification information 85 publicly disclosed by the public disclosure management unit 22. By providing the transaction application information storage unit 20, the property management device 10 can support transaction negotiations and store information on the transaction history and process for the managed property, and this information can be used in the valuation process in the property valuation unit 30 described later.

[0063] Such transaction application information includes information that identifies the intention to apply for a transaction such as the transfer or lease of property, with respect to the property identification information 85 and / or user information published by the Public Disclosure Management Department 22. Furthermore, the transaction application information may include the terms and conditions of the transaction such as the transfer or lease, and information of the applicant who wishes to conduct such a transaction.

[0064] Figure 9 is a sequence diagram showing the processing of the asset management system 100 (asset transaction support system 120) constructed using the asset management device 10 (asset transaction support device 12), and the input screen on the user terminal 51 is the same as the processing shown in Figure 8. Figure 10 also shows the "(A) Display screen for property identification information 85 and user information" and the "(B) Transaction application information input screen" displayed on the applicant terminal 52 connected to the property management device 10 (property transaction support device 12) via the network.

[0065] The sequence diagram of the asset management system 100 (asset transaction support system 120), shown in Figure 9, is constructed by adding a prospective user terminal 52 to the sequence diagram of the asset management system 100 (asset disclosure management system 110), shown in Figure 5. This prospective user terminal 52 is operated by prospective users who wish to conduct transactions such as acquiring or leasing assets for which asset identification information 85 and / or user information has been made public.

[0066] Prior to transactions such as the transfer or lease of property in the property management system 100 (property transaction support system 120), the user performs a registration process for the property to be managed. As shown in Figure 5 above, this property registration process is performed either by the user using the user terminal 51, or by the transaction support device 12 collecting publicly available information on the network and registering the property.

[0067] If the property identification information 85 and / or user information stored in the property information storage unit 21 is selected to be made public in the publicly disclosed identification information, it can be accessed from external terminals such as the requester terminal 52. However, the scope of disclosure of property identification information 85 and / or user information may be limited to specific persons (regions) or specific periods, and partial disclosure is also possible. Note that the process from displaying the input screen (S51) to controlling or selecting at least one of the conditions for disclosing this information and the scope of disclosure according to the disclosure conditions information (S56) is the same as in Figure 5, and therefore the same reference numerals are used, and a detailed explanation is omitted.

[0068] Furthermore, since the property management device 10 according to this embodiment is particularly intended to support property transactions, it acquires transaction preference information 81 that identifies whether the user intends to transfer or lease the property (S57), and stores this information in the transaction preference information storage unit 29. Transaction request information 81 can be obtained through input or selection from the user terminal 51 (S50), as well as based on whether or not the item is listed as a transaction item on the network. Such transaction request information 81 may consist of information indicating that the user will not transfer or lease the property at the time of registration of the property identification information 85 and / or user information, but it can be set to perform a transaction at any time by the user, or according to the content of the transaction request information 81 described below. The transaction request information 81 stored in the transaction request information storage unit 29 can also be made public in the public announcement management unit 22 (S58).

[0069] In particular, the transaction request information 81 may include at least one of the transaction conditions information 82, the rank information 83, and the transaction element information 84 when conducting a transaction such as transfer or lending, and the public disclosure management unit 22 may also disclose this information.

[0070] The property identification information 85 and / or user information published by the property management device 10 (property transaction support device 12) can be viewed from the requester terminal 52 operated by a person who wishes to conduct a transaction such as acquiring or borrowing the property (S58). Figure 10(A) shows an example of the display screen for property identification information 85 and / or user information on the applicant terminal 52. The applicant can operate the applicant terminal 52 to search for the existence of the property they are looking for. The property searched at this time is not necessarily one that the user has set to wish to transfer or lend, nor is it necessary for the consideration to be specified. For those who wish to trade, simply providing information about the desired property and potential trading partners will provide them with trading opportunities and sufficient support for the transaction. Figure 10(A) in particular shows the display screen when the property to be traded is a movable vehicle, and "--" is displayed for items that the user does not wish to disclose.

[0071] In this way, the applicant searches and views the property identification information 85 and / or user information published by the property management device 10 (property transaction support device 12) using the applicant terminal 52 (S58). When the applicant searches for a property they wish to trade, they can decide whether or not to proceed with transaction negotiations based on the publicly available information on the conditions of the transfer or lease, rank information 83, and transaction element information 84 for that property. When conducting transaction negotiations, the interested party operates the interested party terminal 52 to display the transaction negotiation screen shown in Figure 10(B) and inputs transaction application information, which is information regarding the transfer or lease of the property in question (S59). In the transaction negotiation screen shown in Figure 10(B), the user enters transaction application information consisting of transaction preference information 101, such as the desired price for the transaction (acquisition or lease), the desired timing for the acquisition or lease, and, in the case of a lease, the desired period, and transaction applicant information 102, which identifies the applicant. This transaction preference information 102 may include information such as address, name, telephone number, email address, or SNS account name.

[0072] The asset management device 10 (asset transaction support device 12) records the transaction application information entered through the above operations in the transaction application information storage unit 20 (S60). The asset management device 10 (asset transaction support device 12) then extracts all or any arbitrarily selected items of the transaction application information recorded in the transaction application information storage unit 20 and publishes them to the user terminal 51 at any time via the transaction execution unit 35 (S61).

[0073] Then, when the user terminal 51 acquires the transaction application information published by the asset management device 10 (asset transaction support device 12) (S62), the user can decide whether or not to proceed with the transaction based on the acquired transaction application information. This transaction can be carried out using the conventional transaction method.

[0074] By performing the above process, third parties, such as those interested in a transaction, will be able to identify the user who manages the assets. The asset management device 10 (asset transaction support device 12) can provide users with an opportunity to negotiate transactions for assets they manage. In particular, if the transaction request information 81 includes at least one of the following: information on the conditions for transferring or leasing the asset, rank information 83, and transaction element information 84, and these are also made public, then third parties such as prospective buyers can objectively know the possibility of trading the asset. Furthermore, the asset management device 10 (asset transaction support device 12) can make public the assets managed by the user, regardless of whether the user intends to transfer or lease them, and can facilitate such transactions depending on the conditions presented by those who wish to acquire or lease the assets. Therefore, the asset management device 10 (asset transaction support device 12) and asset management system 100 (asset transaction support system 120) according to this embodiment enable all assets managed by the user to be subject to transactions (i.e., inventory in transactions), and can support a new form of transaction that is unprecedented, in which assets managed by the user are subject to transactions (i.e., inventory) regardless of the user's intention to trade.

[0075] <Property valuation support device 13 and valuation support system 130> Figure 11 is a block diagram showing the property management device 10 according to the third embodiment. Figure 11(A) shows a block diagram of the valuation support device 13 formed using the property disclosure management device 11, and Figure 11(B) shows a block diagram of the valuation support device 13 formed using the property transaction support device 12. Figure 12 shows the output screen displaying the valuation results from the property valuation unit 30. The asset management device 10 according to this embodiment is configured using a computer and is in particular an asset valuation support device 13 that assists in the valuation of the user's assets.

[0076] The asset management device 10 (asset valuation support device 13) has a configuration that includes an asset valuation unit 30 in addition to the configuration of the asset management device 10 shown in the first or second embodiment described above. The property valuation unit 30 can consist of a computer's CPU 24, memory 25, and input / output interface 26, etc. The property valuation unit 30 is configured to evaluate the value of an asset using the property identification information 85 held by the property information storage unit 21, based on current or past transaction records (also referred to as "transaction history") of the same or similar asset.

[0077] The property valuation unit 30 evaluates the property based on the property identification information 85 stored in the property information storage unit 21 of the property management device 10 (property disclosure management device 11 or property transaction support device 12). Such property valuation can be performed using current or past transaction records for the same or similar property as the property being valued. The identity of the user identified by the user information can also be used in the valuation of the property. In particular, if there is a history of transactions involving the same type of property as the property being appraised, the property valuation unit 30 can use that transaction history to calculate the value of the property. Furthermore, in the valuation process, the value of the property can also be calculated using current or past transaction history of properties related to the property being appraised. The value of these assets can be calculated not only by using past transaction records as the value of the asset, but also by multiplying the value based on past transaction records by a certain rate of increase or decrease, or a coefficient determined by the condition of the asset. Furthermore, transaction records, whether current or past, indicating whether transactions were completed or not, can also be used as valuation information for the property in question to calculate its value. The identity of the property can be determined by whether or not the "property type identification number" indicating the type of property is the same.

[0078] Furthermore, when evaluating the value of property (i.e., the subject of a transaction), it is desirable to use not only transaction records such as transfers or leases, but also information on the history of the transaction and information such as authenticity appraisals related to the transaction. In addition, when evaluating the value in a transaction, it is also acceptable to calculate the average transaction amount, the maximum amount, or the minimum amount. Furthermore, if there is information indicating the condition of the property (the object of the transaction), such as initial history information at the initial stages, such as the time of manufacture or sale, as well as usage history information at the usage stage, such as maintenance and storage (particularly referred to as maintenance history or storage history), it is also possible to present an evaluation result that takes into account the market value based on that history information.

[0079] Therefore, the property valuation unit 30 may include, for example, current or past transaction records as shown in Figure 12, as well as, although not shown, transaction history information, authenticity appraisal information, the condition of the property, and information indicating the manager of the property.

[0080] In particular, the evaluation support device 13 according to this embodiment also evaluates assets that the user does not wish to transfer or lease. By evaluating the asset while considering past transaction history, the user can easily find out the fair value of the asset in question. Furthermore, the user can also inform potential buyers of the fair value of that asset. As a result, even assets that the user initially did not wish to transfer or lease can be made eligible for transactions by receiving applications from interested parties, thus promoting transactions.

[0081] The property management device 10 (property valuation support device 13) according to the above embodiment stores and manages property identification information 85 and / or user information in the property information storage unit 21. By recording at least user information in the property information storage unit 21, the valuation support device 13 can manage property based on the user information. As a result, it can also evaluate the value of property managed by a specific user. Therefore, the property management device 10 (property valuation support device 13) according to this embodiment can, for example, identify the property managed by the user based on the user information stored in the property information storage unit 21, and evaluate its value, thereby calculating the value when the user transfers or inherits the property. Furthermore, by identifying the recipient of the property or other transaction, the device can also manage the property managed by the user after evaluating its value. Furthermore, by identifying the recipient or heir of the property, it is possible to create a will concerning the property and its business partners. In addition, by transmitting information about the user, property, and heirs to a specific computer (such as a will creation device), this device can create a will.

[0082] Furthermore, the property management device 10 (property valuation support device 13) according to this embodiment may also include an appraisal information acquisition unit that acquires appraisal information from an external appraisal device connected via a network. Such appraisal information may be appraisal information regarding the validity and legitimacy of the value of the property evaluated by the property valuation unit 30, or the authenticity of the subject property. To obtain such appraisal information, the property management device 10 (property valuation support device 13) transmits property identification information 85 and property value information evaluated by the property valuation unit 30 to an external appraisal device, and also transmits property user information as needed. This information may be transmitted not only when the property identification information 85 is recorded in the property information storage unit 21, but also when appraisal request information requesting an appraisal is obtained from the user terminal 51 and / or the requesting terminal 52.

[0083] When an external appraisal device acquires this information, it evaluates or appraises the validity or legitimacy of the property appraisal information in the property appraisal unit 30 based on this information, as well as information held by the external appraisal device and information publicly available on the network. The external appraisal device then outputs the result (evaluation result or appraisal result) to the property management device 10 (property appraisal support device 13). The property management device 10 (property appraisal support device 13) acquires the appraisal information output from the external appraisal device in its appraisal information acquisition unit.

[0084] The appraisal information described above may consist of value information based on the results of the appraisal device, information indicating the validity and legitimacy of the appraisal results in the property appraisal unit 30, and information authenticating the appraisal results of the property appraisal unit 30. In addition, the appraisal information may also consist of information indicating the results of the authenticity appraisal. In this case, different external appraisal devices can be used depending on the type of property being appraised. For example, if the property being appraised is "real estate," an appraisal device that holds real estate transaction information and registration information can be used. If the property being appraised is "automobile," an appraisal device that holds automobile transaction information and information about the owner, user, and other users of the automobile can be used. Therefore, it is desirable that the appraisal support device 13 stores appraisal devices used for appraisal as appraisal device identification information, associated with the type of property, and that the appraisal be performed using the most suitable appraisal device based on this appraisal device identification information.

[0085] Figure 13 is a sequence diagram of the property management system 100 (property valuation support system 130) formed using the property management device 10 (property valuation support device 13). In this embodiment, the property management system 100 (property valuation support system 130) in the property management system 100 (property disclosure management system 110) shown in the sequence diagram of Figure 5 is further equipped with a property valuation unit 30 for evaluating the value of property.

[0086] In other words, the property management system 100 (property valuation support system 130) according to this embodiment is configured to evaluate the value of property held in the property information storage unit 21 of the property management device 10 (property disclosure management device 11), that is, property regardless of whether there is an intention to transfer or lease it, or whether it is to be made public or not.

[0087] Specifically, the property management device 10 (property valuation support device 13) stores property identification information 85 in the property information storage unit 21 based on operations performed by the user using the user terminal 51, or information collected from the internet by the property management device 10 (property valuation support device 13). Next, the property valuation unit 30 of the property management device 10 (property valuation support device 13) uses the property identification information 85 held by the property information storage unit 21 to perform a valuation process that evaluates the value of the property based on current or past transaction records of the same or similar property. This evaluation process can be performed when the property identification information 85 is recorded in the property information storage unit 21, or at any time after the property identification information 85 has been recorded in the property information storage unit 21 (for example, when an evaluation request is received from the user terminal 51). For example, in Figure 13, after the process of storing information in the property information storage unit (S54), the user terminal 51 sends an instruction for a property valuation request to the valuation support device 13 (S63). The property management device (property valuation support device 13), having received this property valuation request, executes the property valuation process (S64), but it is not limited to this and can execute the property valuation process at any time. In the sequence diagram of Figure 13, the same reference numerals are used for processes that are the same as those in the sequence diagram of Figure 5, and detailed explanations are omitted.

[0088] In particular, the asset management system 100 (asset valuation support system 130) according to this embodiment is based on the asset management system 100 (asset disclosure management system 110) shown in the sequence diagram in Figure 5, so the assets subject to valuation are not limited to those that are made public, but also include those that are not made public. Therefore, the asset management system 100 (asset valuation support system 130) can evaluate the value of assets that are not intended for transfer, lease, or other transactions, nor are they intended for disclosure to third parties. Therefore, the valuation results for property managed by the user can be obtained without requiring any intention to transfer or lease the property, and without requiring its public disclosure. Then, users who acquire this value information can reconsider transactions such as the transfer or lease of property, taking that value into consideration. As a result, users can change property that they initially did not wish to transfer or lease into property that is subject to such transactions based on the value information. At this time, users can record the transaction request information 81 in the transaction request information storage unit 29.

[0089] Therefore, the asset management system 100 (asset valuation support system 130) according to this embodiment can provide users with opportunities to conduct transactions (including transactions such as transfer or lease) regarding assets they manage themselves. This makes it possible to change assets managed by the user from assets that are simply being managed to assets that are the subject of transactions (inventory), thereby promoting opportunities for transactions.

[0090] Furthermore, the property management system 100 (property valuation support system 130) according to this embodiment is provided with an external appraisal device that generates appraisal information for the value of the property evaluated by the property valuation unit 30. Figure 14 is a network configuration diagram of the asset management system 100 (asset valuation support system 130). As shown in Figure 14, the asset management system 100 (asset valuation support system 130) connects the valuation support device 13, user terminal 51, and appraisal device 53 via a network such as the Internet.

[0091] The external appraisal device 53 can output an appraisal result, including its validity, for the appraisal result created by the property appraisal unit 30. In this embodiment, the appraisal result of the property appraisal unit 30 can be used to reinforce the reliability of the objective appraisal in the property management system 100 (property appraisal support system 130). The appraisal device 53 can be a device installed at an external specialized institution. In this case, the property support device 13 can request an appraisal from the device at the external specialized institution and receive the appraisal result, thereby enabling it to present the transaction terms along with the appraisal result.

[0092] An appraisal request to such an appraisal device is made after the creation of appraisal information in the property valuation unit 30, and the property management device 10 (property valuation support device 13) transmits the appraisal information to the appraisal device at a predetermined timing. In addition, the property management device 10 (property valuation support device 13) can also transmit the appraisal information to the appraisal device upon receiving appraisal request information from the user terminal 51 requesting an appraisal. Once the appraisal information is generated in the appraisal device, the property management device 10 (property valuation support device 13) acquires the appraisal information in the appraisal information acquisition unit.

[0093] Furthermore, the asset management system 100 (asset valuation support system 130) can also be configured using the asset management system 100 (asset transaction support system 120) which performs the processing shown in Figure 9. Figure 15 shows the processing of the asset management system 100 (asset valuation support system 130) formed using the asset management system 100 (asset transaction support system 120). In Figure 15, the same reference numerals are used for the same processes as shown in Figure 9, and detailed explanations are omitted. In the property management system 100 (property valuation support system 130) according to this embodiment, the property management device 10 (property valuation support device 13) is configured to include a property valuation unit 30 for evaluating the value of the property, and can be formed by connecting a requester terminal 52 to the network shown in Figure 14. Furthermore, the property management system 100 (property valuation support system 130) is configured to evaluate the value of property stored in the property information storage unit 21 of the property management device 10 (property transaction support device 12), that is, property that has been made public by the public disclosure management unit 22 and for which there is an intention to transfer or lease it.

[0094] The processing in the asset management system 100 (asset valuation support system 130) is similar to that of the asset management system 100 (asset transaction support system 120) shown in Figure 9, in that the first step is to register the assets managed by the user. This asset registration process is carried out either by transmission from the user terminal 51, as shown in Figure 5, or by the valuation support device 13 collecting publicly available information (asset identification information 85 and / or user information) on the network. It is desirable that this asset identification information 85 and / or user information be publicly available and that it is based on the premise of a transaction such as transfer or lease, but it is not necessary to specify the conditions, including the consideration and timing of the transaction.

[0095] In this transaction support system 120, it is also possible to obtain the valuation results for the property being traded. Specifically, first, the user operates the user terminal 51, or the property management device 10 (property valuation support device 13) collects information from the internet, and the property identification information 85 is stored in the property information storage unit 21 (S54). The property valuation unit 30 of the property management device 10 (property valuation support device 13) acquires transaction request information (S57), and then uses the property identification information 85 held by the property information storage unit 21 to perform a valuation process (S66) to evaluate the value of the property based on current or past transaction records of the same or similar property.

[0096] The execution of this evaluation process (S66) can be performed when the property identification information 85 is recorded in the property information storage unit 21, or at any time after the property identification information 85 has been recorded in the property information storage unit 21. For example, the evaluation process (S66) can be executed by an evaluation request instruction (S65) from the user terminal 51, or by an evaluation request instruction for a property from a requesting party terminal 52 that has access to publicly available property information.

[0097] The information regarding the valuation results from the property valuation unit 30 is stored in the storage unit of the property management device 10 (property valuation support device 13), and can also be transmitted to the user terminal 51 or the requesting terminal 52 as needed. Specifically, it can be transmitted to both the user terminal 51 and the requesting terminal 52, or to the user terminal 51 or the requesting terminal 52 that issued the valuation request. Alternatively, it may be transmitted to the user terminal 51 or the requesting terminal 52 that was specified when issuing the valuation request.

[0098] In particular, for those who wish to acquire or lease the property that is the subject of the transaction, they may include the valuation results from the property valuation unit 30 when negotiating the transaction. Figure 16 is a screen displaying the valuation results 161 from the property valuation unit 30 and transaction application information 162, which includes the desired conditions for acquisition or lease from the applicant. Those wishing to conduct a transaction obtain an appraisal result for the property they wish to acquire or lease, and, taking this into consideration, specify the transaction terms, such as the price and timing, to be presented to the user. The applicant can then present these transaction terms to the user as transaction application information 162. The user can then decide whether or not to proceed with the transaction based on the transaction terms, which take into account the market value, which is an objective appraisal result.

[0099] In particular, the asset management system 100 (asset valuation support system 130), which was built based on the asset management system 100 (asset transaction support system 120), can make the assets managed by the user public as potential inventory (i.e., transaction targets) in transactions. Furthermore, the asset valuation support system 130 can perform an objective valuation of the inventory (i.e., the subject of the transaction) and provide the results to the user or those who request them. Therefore, the property valuation support system 130 can provide users who manage the inventory (i.e., the subject of the transaction) with transaction terms that take into account the market value, which is an objective valuation result. When users are provided with market value, which is an objective evaluation result, they feel more secure and are more likely to agree to a transaction, which in turn increases the opportunities for trading the product.
