The real estate information collection device 602 outputs the read certificate information to the real estate information creation device 600.

[0074] Note that, for example, when the location of the land is input from the real estate information creation device 600 and this location indicates a large city, the real estate information collection device 602 sets the land having the same land, prefecture, city, ward, town and house number as this land as the real estate around this real estate.

[0075] Also, when using the map information, the real estate information collection device 602 sets the land facing the same route as this land and within a range of a predetermined distance from this land as the real estate around this real estate. Also, when the location of the real estate indicates one of a plurality of proprietary parts included in an apartment building, the real estate information collection device 602 sets the other proprietary parts sharing the building with this proprietary part as the real estate around this real estate.

[0076] The price estimation device 604 estimates the transaction price when the real estate is transacted and obtains the estimated price from the data indicating the date of receipt, receipt number, claim amount, and interest included in the data indicating the right holder and others in the certificate of registered matters shown in FIGS. 3A to 3C. Further, the price estimation device 604 adds the data indicating the estimated price to the real estate information stored in the real estate DB 606 as shown in FIG. 11A.

[0077] The price estimation device 604 estimates, for example, an amount obtained by adding the interest to the claim amount from the date indicated by the date of receipt and receipt number and the date on which the transaction price is estimated based on the data indicating the claim amount and interest. Further, the price estimation device 604 estimates the total amount of the amount obtained by adding the interest to the claim amount and the amount obtained by adding the interest to the down payment based on the general ratio between the down payment and the loan amount when purchasing the real estate. Furthermore, the price estimation device 604 estimates the transaction price of the real estate in consideration of the change in the transaction price of the real estate from the date indicated by the date of receipt and receipt number to the date on which the transaction price is estimated for this total amount.

[0078] The distribution promotion information creation device 608 is a service information creation device that creates service information for providing services based on the real estate information stored in the real estate DB 606 and the user information stored in the user DB 46 of the certificate providing service system 42 shown in FIG. 6. The distribution promotion information creation device 608 stores the created service provision information in the distribution promotion DB 610 as distribution promotion information. The distribution promotion information is used for soliciting sellers and buyers of real estate, presenting real estate information, introducing brokers, and the like.

[0079] Note that the solicitation of sellers of real estate is, for example, to persuade the owner of the real estate to sell the real estate or the creditor of the real estate to sell the share of the claim by electronic data transmitted via the communication network 100 and DM printed by the printer 102. The solicitation of sellers can be carried out for unspecified owners and creditors of real estate.

[0080] That is, the solicitation of real estate sellers can be conducted for persons and enterprises determined to be real estate owners and creditors in the certificate of registered items included in the real estate information shown in FIG. 11A, regardless of whether the user has an account with the real estate information service server 4. Hereinafter, the case where the solicitation of the seller is conducted for the real estate owner will be described.

[0081] In addition, the solicitation of real estate buyers is, for example, to induce the purchase of real estate owned by a user shown to be a seller, targeting users shown to be buyers according to the user type in the user information shown in FIG. 7 among the users registered in the real estate information service server 4, by means such as DM and e-mail.

[0082] In addition, the presentation of real estate information is, for example, to present the certificate of registered items of the property put up for sale and the asking price or estimated price of the seller to the user as e-mail and electronic data.

[0083] The introduction of a real estate broker is to select a broker suitable for the brokerage of the property put up for sale from users shown to be brokers according to the user type in the user information, and introduce it to users who wish to purchase the property put up for sale.

[0084] Users who can receive the services of presenting real estate information and introducing brokers can be appropriately selected according to the operation policy of the operator of the real estate information service server 4. That is, the operator of the real estate information service server 4 can, for example, conduct the presentation of real estate information and the introduction of brokers only for users shown to be paid members according to the user rank included in the user information, or for all users regardless of whether they are paid members or free members.

[0085] FIG. 11B is a diagram illustrating the distribution promotion information stored in the distribution promotion DB610 shown in FIG. 10. The distribution promotion information includes a plurality of entries. As shown in FIG. 11B, the plurality of entries store data in which one or more of a distribution promotion service ID, a real estate ID, a service type, an estimated price of the real estate estimated by the price estimation device 604, a desired price, and a destination ID indicating the destination of the service are associated with each other.

[0086] The distribution promotion service ID uniquely indicates the service provided by the service providing device 62. The real estate ID uniquely indicates the real estate that is the target of the service indicated by the distribution promotion service ID.

[0087] The service type is service type data indicating any one of a plurality of types of services that can be provided in relation to the real estate indicated by the real estate ID for promoting real estate distribution, that is, either recruitment of real estate sellers and buyers, presentation of real estate information, or introduction of brokers. One or more destination IDs are destination data indicating the owner of the real estate that receives the service or the user. Note that the owner of the real estate that receives the service may or may not be a user having an account in the real estate information service server 4. Also, when the owner of the real estate that receives the service is not a user having an account in the real estate information service server 4, the destination ID can be created regardless of the intention of the owner of the real estate.

[0088] The distribution promotion information indicates, for the real estate indicated by the real estate ID, which of the services for promoting real estate distribution indicated by the service type are provided to the owner or user of the real estate indicated by the destination ID, based on the combination of these data.

[0089] Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 12A to 12C, the operations of the seller recruitment device 620, the buyer recruitment device 622, the information presentation device 624, and the introduction device 626 will be described in detail. The seller recruitment device 620 shown in FIG. 10 processes distribution promotion information and user information and performs processing for recruiting sellers. FIG. 12A is a flowchart showing the process of the seller recruitment device 620 recruiting sellers as a service for promoting the distribution of real estate.

[0090] As shown in FIG. 12A, in step S100, the seller recruitment device 620 reads out distribution promotion information from the distribution promotion DB 610.

[0091] In step S102, the seller recruitment device 620 determines whether the service type of the distribution promotion information indicates recruitment of a seller. When the service type of the distribution promotion information indicates recruitment of a seller (Y in the process of S102), the seller recruitment device 620 proceeds to the process of S104, and when the service type of the distribution promotion information does not indicate recruitment of a seller (N in the process of S102), the process ends.

[0092] In step S104, the seller recruitment device 620 reads out all of the user IDs included in the user information shown in FIG. 7 from the user DB 46 shown in FIG. 6.

[0093] In step S106, the seller recruitment device 620 reads out the destination ID of the distribution promotion information that has not yet been the target of processing.

[0094] In step S108, the seller recruitment device 620 determines whether the destination ID read in the process of S106 is included in the user IDs read in the process of S104. When the read destination ID is included in the user ID (Y in the process of S108), the seller recruitment device 620 proceeds to the process of S110, and when the read destination ID is not included in the user ID (N in the process of S108), the seller recruitment device 620 proceeds to the process of S114.

[0095] In step S110, the seller recruitment device 620 reads an entry including a user ID that is the same as the destination ID from the user information stored in the user DB 46. The seller recruitment device 620 further determines, based on the user class and membership information stored in the entry of the read user information, whether it is possible to provide the service of recruiting sellers to the user with the same user ID as the destination ID.

[0096] When the seller recruitment device 620 can provide the service of recruiting sellers (Y in the process of S110), it proceeds to the process of S112, and when it cannot provide the service of recruiting sellers (N in the process of S110), it proceeds to the process of S122.

[0097] In step S112, the seller recruitment device 620 obtains data indicating the name or title and contact information of the user from the entry of the user information read in the process of S110.

[0098] In step S114, the seller recruitment device 620 reads real estate information including a real estate ID that is common to the real estate ID included in the distribution promotion information from the real estate DB 606.

[0099] In step S116, the seller recruitment device 620 obtains data indicating the owner of the real estate from the certificate of registered matters included in the real estate information read in the process of S114, and creates the contact information of the owner of the real estate from this data.

[0100] In step S118, when the seller recruitment device 620 obtains the name or title and address of the owner of the real estate in the process of S112 or S116, it causes the printer 102 to print a DM to be sent to the owner of the real estate, and recruits sellers.

[0101] Alternatively, when an email address of the real estate owner or the like is obtained in the process of S112, the seller recruitment device 620 transmits electronic data for recruiting a seller to the terminal device of the real estate owner via the communication network 100. Note that in the process of S118, the terminal device of the real estate owner may be the user terminal 30 as described above, or may be a terminal device other than the user terminal 30 of a person who does not have an account in the real estate information service server 4. Further, when recruiting a seller, the real estate owner may be induced to create an account in the real estate information service server 4.

[0102] In step S120, the seller recruitment device 620 determines whether the processes of S106 and S108 have been performed for all of the destination IDs included in the distribution promotion information, that is, whether the processing for all of the destination IDs included in the distribution promotion information has been completed. When the processing has been completed for all of the destination IDs (Y in the process of S120), the seller recruitment device 620 proceeds to the process of S122, and when the processing has not been completed for all of the destination IDs (N in the process of S120), it returns to the process of S106.

[0103] In step S122, the seller recruitment device 620 deletes the entry of the distribution promotion information used in the process of recruiting a seller and ends the process.

[0104] The buyer recruitment device 622 processes the distribution promotion information and the user information and performs a process for recruiting a buyer. Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 12B, the process of the buyer recruitment device 622 will be further described. FIG. 12B is a flowchart showing a process in which the buyer recruitment device 622 recruits a buyer as a service for promoting the distribution of real estate.

[0105] As shown in FIG. 12B, in step S140, the buyer recruitment device 622 reads out the distribution promotion information from the distribution promotion DB 610.

[0106] In step S142, the buyer recruitment device 622 determines whether the service type of the distribution promotion information indicates recruitment of buyers. When the service type of the distribution promotion information indicates recruitment of buyers (Y in the process of S142), the buyer recruitment device 622 proceeds to the process of S144, and when the service type of the distribution promotion information does not indicate recruitment of buyers (N in the process of S142), the process ends.

[0107] In step S144, the buyer recruitment device 622 reads out all the user IDs included in the user information shown in FIG. 7 from the user DB46 shown in FIG. 6.

[0108] In step S146, the buyer recruitment device 622 reads out the provider ID of the distribution promotion information that has not yet been the target of processing.

[0109] In step S148, the buyer recruitment device 622 determines whether the provider ID read out in the process of S146 is included in the user IDs read out in the process of S144. When the read provider ID is included in the user ID (Y in the process of S148), the buyer recruitment device 622 proceeds to the process of S150, and when the read provider ID is not included in the user ID (N in the process of S148), the buyer recruitment device 622 proceeds to the process of S156.

[0110] In step S150, the buyer recruitment device 622 reads out an entry including the user ID identical to the provider ID from the user information stored in the user DB46. Further, based on the user class and membership information stored in the entry of the read user information, the buyer recruitment device 622 determines whether it is possible to provide the service of recruiting buyers to the user with the user ID identical to the provider ID.

[0111] When the buyer recruitment device 622 can provide the service of recruiting buyers (Y in the process of S150), it proceeds to the process of S152, and when it cannot provide the service of recruiting buyers (N in the process of S150), it proceeds to the process of S156.

[0112] In step S152, the buyer solicitation device 622 obtains data indicating the name or title of the user and their contact information from the entry of the user information read in the process of S150.

[0113] In step S154, when the name or title of the user and their address, etc. are obtained in the process of S152, the buyer solicitation device 622 causes the printer 102 to print a DM to be sent to users who may be buyers of the real estate, and solicits buyers.

[0114] Alternatively, when the user's email address, etc. are obtained in the process of S152, the buyer solicitation device 622 transmits electronic data for soliciting buyers to the user terminal 30 of users who may be buyers of the real estate via the communication network 100.

[0115] In step S156, the buyer solicitation device 622 determines whether the processes of S146 and S148 have been performed for all of the destination IDs included in the distribution promotion information, that is, whether the processing for all of the destination IDs included in the distribution promotion information has been completed.

[0116] When the processing has been completed for all of the destination IDs (Y in the process of S156), the buyer solicitation device 622 proceeds to the process of S158, and when the processing has not been completed for all of the destination IDs (N in the process of S156), it returns to the process of S146.

[0117] In step S158, the buyer solicitation device 622 deletes the entry of the distribution promotion information used in the process of soliciting buyers, and ends the process.

[0118] The information presentation device 624 processes the distribution promotion information and the user information, and performs processing for information provision. Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 12C, the processing of the information presentation device 624 will be further described. FIG. 12C is a flowchart showing the processing in which the information presentation device 624 provides information as a service for promoting the distribution of real estate.

[0119] As shown in FIG. 12C, in step S180, the information presentation device 624 reads out the distribution promotion information from the distribution promotion DB 610.

[0120] In step S182, the information presentation device 624 determines whether the service type of the distribution promotion information indicates information provision. When the service type of the distribution promotion information indicates information provision (Y in the process of S182), the information presentation device 624 proceeds to the process of S184, and when the service type of the distribution promotion information does not indicate information provision (N in the process of S182), the process ends.

[0121] In step S184, the information presentation device 624 reads out all of the user IDs included in the user information shown in FIG. 7 from the user DB 46 shown in FIG. 6.

[0122] In step S186, the information presentation device 624 reads out the destination ID of the distribution promotion information that has not yet been the target of processing.

[0123] In step S188, the information presentation device 624 determines whether the destination ID read out in the process of S186 is included in the user IDs read out in the process of S184. When the read-out destination ID is included in the user ID (Y in the process of S188), the information presentation device 624 proceeds to the process of S190, and when the read-out destination ID is not included in the user ID (N in the process of S188), the information presentation device 624 proceeds to the process of S196.

[0124] In step S190, the information presentation device 624 reads out an entry including the same user ID as the destination ID from the user information stored in the user DB 46. Further, the information presentation device 624 determines whether it is possible to perform an information provision service for the user assigned the same user ID as the destination ID based on the user class and membership information stored in the read-out user information entry.

[0125] When the information presentation device 624 can provide an information service (Y in the process of S190), it proceeds to the process of S192, and when it cannot provide an information service (N in the process of S190), it proceeds to the process of S196.

[0126] In step S192, the information presentation device 624 obtains data indicating the name or title of the user and the contact information thereof from the entry of the user information read in the process of S190.

[0127] In step S194, when the name or title of the user and the address thereof are obtained in the process of S192, the information presentation device 624 causes the printer 102 to print a document in which all or a part of the certificate of registered items to be sent to the user as the information recipient is described, and further causes the information indicating the destination of this document to be printed on the envelope.

[0128] Alternatively, when the email address of the user is obtained in the process of S192, the information presentation device 624 transmits all or a part of the certificate of registered items and electronic data indicating the estimated price of the real estate to the user terminal 30 via the communication network 100 to the user as the information recipient, and provides the information.

[0129] The estimated price and the desired price of the real estate may be further provided to the user as the information recipient. Further, the user can store the data indicating the inaction and the desired price shown in FIG. 7 in the user DB 46 via the user terminal 30 after receiving the information provision.

[0130] In step S196, the information presentation device 624 determines whether the processes of S186 and S188 have been performed for all of the provider IDs included in the distribution promotion information, that is, whether the processing for all of the provider IDs included in the distribution promotion information has been completed.

[0131] When the processing for all the destination IDs is completed (Y in the process of S196), the information presentation device 624 proceeds to the process of S198. When the processing for all the destination IDs is not completed (N in the process of S196), the information presentation device 624 returns to the process of S186.

[0132] In step S198, the information presentation device 624 deletes the entry of the distribution promotion information used in the information providing process and ends the process.

[0133] The introduction device 626 processes the distribution promotion information and the user information and performs a process for introducing an intermediary. Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 12D, the process of the introduction device 626 will be further described. FIG. 12D is a flowchart showing a process in which the introduction device 626 performs an introduction of an intermediary as a service for promoting the distribution of real estate.

[0134] As shown in FIG. 12D, in step S220, the introduction device 626 reads the distribution promotion information from the distribution promotion DB610.

[0135] In step S222, the introduction device 626 determines whether the service type of the distribution promotion information indicates an introduction of an intermediary. When the service type of the distribution promotion information indicates an introduction of an intermediary (Y in the process of S222), the introduction device 626 proceeds to the process of S224. When the service type of the distribution promotion information does not indicate an introduction of an intermediary (N in the process of S222), the process ends.

[0136] In step S224, the introduction device 626 reads all the user IDs included in the user information shown in FIG. 7 from the user DB46 shown in FIG. 6.

[0137] In step S226, the introduction device 626 reads the destination ID of the distribution promotion information that is the introduction destination of the intermediary that has not yet been the target of processing.

[0138] In step S228, the introduction device 626 determines whether the destination ID read in the process of S226 is included in the user ID read in the process of S224. When the read destination ID is included in the user ID (Y in the process of S228), the introduction device 626 proceeds to the process of S230, and when the read destination ID is not included in the user ID (N in the process of S228), the introduction device 626 proceeds to the process of S238.

[0139] In step S230, the introduction device 626 reads an entry including the same user ID as the destination ID from the user information stored in the user DB46. Further, the introduction device 626 determines whether it is possible to provide an introduction service of an intermediary to the user with the same user ID as the destination ID based on the user class and membership information stored in the read user information entry.

[0140] When the introduction device 626 can provide an introduction service of an intermediary (Y in the process of S230), it proceeds to the process of S232, and when it cannot provide an introduction service of an intermediary (N in the process of S230), it proceeds to the process of S238.

[0141] In step S232, the introduction device 626 obtains data indicating the name or title of the user and their contact information from the entry of the user information read in the process of S230.

[0142] In step S234, the introduction device 626 reads, for example, all entries indicating the user type as an intermediary from the user information. Further, when the address of the user is obtained in the process of S232, the introduction device 626 selects the intermediary closest to the address of this user.

[0143] Alternatively, the introduction device 626 reads a certificate of registered items from the real estate information including the real estate ID common to the distribution promotion information, and selects the intermediary closest to the location of the real estate indicated by this certificate of registered items.

[0144] In step S236, when the name or title of the user and their address, etc. are obtained in the process of S232, the introduction device 626 causes the printer 102 to print a document introducing the intermediary, and further causes the information indicating the destination of this document to be printed on the envelope.

[0145] Alternatively, when the user's email address, etc. are obtained in the process of S232, the introduction device 626 transmits electronic data for introducing the intermediary to the user terminal 30 of the destination user of the intermediary via the communication network 100.

[0146] In step S238, the introduction device 626 determines whether the processes of S226 and S228 have been performed for all the provider IDs included in the distribution promotion information, that is, whether the processing for all the provider IDs included in the distribution promotion information has been completed. When the processing has been completed for all the provider IDs (Y in the process of S238), the introduction device 626 proceeds to the process of S240, and when the processing has not been completed for all the provider IDs (N in the process of S238), it returns to the process of S226.

[0147] In step S240, the introduction device 626 deletes the entry of the distribution promotion information used in the process of introducing the intermediary and ends the process.

[0148] Hereinafter, the operation of the real estate service system 1 will be described. First, the operation of the real estate information service server 4 for obtaining a certificate of registered particulars from the legal affairs bureau system 2 in response to a user operation or a request from the distribution promotion system 6 without receiving a request for providing a certificate of registered particulars from the user terminal 30 will be described. FIG. 13 is a first communication sequence diagram illustrating the operation of the real estate service system 1.

[0149] In the following description with reference to the communication sequence diagram, it is premised that information is input and output between the components of the user terminal 30 and the real estate information service server 4 shown in FIGS. 1, 4 to 6, 9, and 10, and the description to this effect is omitted. Similarly, the description of information communication via the communication network 100 between the nodes of the real estate service system 1 is also omitted.

[0150] As shown in FIG. 13, in step S300, the certificate application device 502 of the certificate acquisition system 52 of the real estate information service server 4 receives a user's request operation on the UI device of the real estate information service server 4 and a request from the distribution promotion system 6.

[0151] In step S302, the certificate application device 502 of the certificate acquisition system 52 of the real estate information service server 4 applies to the legal affairs bureau system 2 for the issuance of a certificate of registered matters.

[0152] In step S304, the legal affairs bureau system 2 issues a certificate of registered matters to the certificate acquisition system 52, and the certificate receiving device 504 receives the certificate of registered matters issued from the legal affairs bureau system 2.

[0153] In step S306, the certificate receiving device 504 outputs the received certificate of registered matters to the certificate DB 40 and stores it as certificate information.

[0154] In step S308, the fee payment device 506 receives a request for payment of the fee from the legal affairs bureau system 2.

[0155] In step S310, the fee payment device 506 performs a process of paying the fee to the legal affairs bureau system 2 with the financial institution server 16. The fee payment device 506 further creates the payment information shown in FIG. 8B and stores it in the accounting DB 48.

[0156] In step S312, the fee collection device 506 notifies the legal affairs bureau system 2 of the payment of the fee.

[0157] In step S314, the financial institution server 16 performs a process of transferring the amount of the fee from the account of the operator of the real estate information service server 4 to the account of the legal affairs bureau system 2.

[0158] Next, in the real estate service system 1, an operation is exemplified in which the real estate information service server 4 receives a request for providing a certificate of registered matters from the user terminal 30, acquires the certificate of registered matters from the legal affairs bureau system 2, and provides it to the user terminal 30. FIG. 14 is a second communication sequence diagram exemplifying the operation of the real estate service system 1.

[0159] As shown in FIG. 14, in step S320, a process of creating an account is performed between the registration device 302 of the user terminal 30 and the user registration device 442 of the certificate providing service system 42 of the real estate information service server 4.

[0160] That is, when the user performs an operation of creating an account with the real estate information service server 4 on the keyboard of the UI device of the user terminal 30 or the like, the registration device 302 transmits the information input by this operation to the user registration device 442. The user registration device 442 receives the information from the registration device 302 and creates a user account. The user registration device 442 further creates user information of the account shown in FIG. 7 and stores it in the user DB 46.

[0161] In step S322, a process of authenticating the user is performed between the authentication device 304 and the user authentication device 444. That is, the authentication device 304 transmits information such as the user's ID and password to the user authentication device 444, and the user authentication device 444 receives these information and authenticates the user. The user authentication device 444 outputs the result of this authentication to the user DB 46 and reflects it in the user information shown in FIG. 7.

[0162] In step S324, the request device 306 requests the user request receiving device 448 to provide a certificate of registered particulars.

[0163] In step S326, the user request receiving device 448 receives the request from the request device 306 and outputs it to the certificate application device 502 of the certificate acquisition system 52. The certificate application device 502 applies to the legal affairs bureau system 2 for the issuance of a certificate of registered particulars.

[0164] In step S328, the legal affairs bureau system 2 issues a certificate of registered particulars to the certificate receiving device 504. The certificate receiving device 504 receives the issued certificate of registered particulars and outputs it to the certificate providing device 450.

[0165] In step S330, the certificate providing device 450 transmits the issued certificate of registered particulars to the receiving device 310.

[0166] In steps S332 to S340, the same processing as S304 to S312 shown in FIG. 13 is performed. That is, in step S332, the certificate receiving device 504 outputs the received certificate of registered particulars to the certificate DB40 and stores it as certificate information.

[0167] In step S334, the fee payment device 506 receives a request for payment of a fee from the legal affairs bureau system 2.

[0168] In step S336, the fee payment device 506 performs a process of paying the fee to the legal affairs bureau system 2 with the financial institution server 16. The fee payment device 506 further creates the payment information shown in FIG. 8B and stores it in the accounting DB48.

[0169] In step S338, the fee payment device 506 notifies the legal affairs bureau system 2 of the payment of the fee.

[0170] In step S340, the financial institution server 16 performs a process of transferring the amount of the fee from the account of the operator of the real estate information service server 4 to the account of the legal affairs bureau system 2.

[0171] In step S342, the user charging device 446 charges the payment device 308 with a predetermined amount.

[0172] In step S344, when the user performs an operation to pay the charged money, the payment device 308 performs a process of paying money to the financial institution server 16 according to the charge.

[0173] In step S346, the payment device 308 notifies the user charging device 446 that it has made a payment according to the charge.

[0174] In step S348, the financial institution server 16 performs a process of transferring the amount of the charge from the user's account to the account of the operator of the real estate information service server 4. The user charging device 446 further creates the charging information shown in FIG. 8A and stores it in the user DB46.

[0175] Hereinafter, in the real estate service system 1, the operation in which the distribution promotion system 6 reads the certificate information from the certificate DB40 and provides a service for distribution promotion will be described. FIG. 15 is a third communication sequence diagram illustrating the operation of the real estate service system 1.

[0176] As shown in FIG. 15, in step S360, the distribution promotion information creation device 60 of the distribution promotion system 6 is activated by a user operation on the real estate information service server 4 or at a certain cycle.

[0177] The real estate information creation device 600 further requests the certificate DB40 to transmit the certificate information indicating all or part of the registration certificate described with reference to FIGS. 3A to 3C.

[0178] In step S362, the certificate DB40 transmits certificate information in response to this request. The real estate information creation device 600 further analyzes the received certificate information, obtains data included in the registration certificate shown in FIGS. 3A to 3C and identifying the registration certificate, and outputs it to the real estate information collection device 602.

[0179] In step S364, using the data indicating the location of the real estate input from the real estate information creation device 600, a request for map information is made to the map information server 14.

[0180] In step S366, the map information server 14 transmits map information to the real estate information collection device 602 in response to this request. The real estate information collection device 602 receives the map information from the map information server 14 and outputs it to the real estate information creation device 600.

[0181] In step S368, using the data indicating the location of the real estate input from the real estate information creation device 600, a request for advertisement information is made to the financial institution server 16.

[0182] In step S370, the financial institution server 16 transmits advertisement information to the real estate information collection device 602 in response to this request. The real estate information collection device 602 receives the advertisement information from the financial institution server 16 and outputs it to the real estate information creation device 600.

[0183] Note that the combinations of the processes of S364 and S366, and the combinations of the processes of S368 and S370 are performed as necessary, and either both, either one, or neither may be performed.

[0184] In step S372, the real estate information creation device 600 creates the real estate information shown in FIG. 11A and stores it in the real estate DB606. The price estimation device 604 processes the real estate information stored in the real estate DB606, estimates the transaction price of the real estate from the amount of debt, interest, registration date, etc. included in the entry of the real estate information, and stores it in the real estate DB606.

[0185] In step S374, the distribution promotion information creation device 608 activates either in response to a user operation on the real estate information service server 4 or at a fixed cycle, and requests the transmission of all or some of the entries of the user information shown in FIG. 7 to the user DB 46 of the certificate providing service system 42.

[0186] In step S376, the user DB 46 transmits user information to the distribution promotion information creation device 608 in response to this request.

[0187] In step S378, the distribution promotion information creation device 608 creates the distribution promotion information shown in FIG. 11B and stores it in the distribution promotion DB 610.

[0188] In step S380, the service providing device 62 of the distribution promotion system 6 activates either in response to a user operation on the real estate information service server 4 or at a fixed cycle. Further, the seller recruitment device 620, the buyer recruitment device 622, the information presentation device 624, and the introduction device 626 of the service providing device 62 read all or some of the entries of the distribution promotion information from the distribution promotion DB 610 and perform the processes described with reference to FIGS. 12A to 12D.

[0189] In step S382, the seller recruitment device 620, the buyer recruitment device 622, the information presentation device 624, and the introduction device 626 create the electronic data necessary for promoting the distribution of real estate and transmit it to the user terminal 30 and terminal devices other than the user.

[0190] In step S384, the seller recruitment device 620, the buyer recruitment device 622, the information presentation device 624, and the introduction device 626 cause the printer 102 to print documents and the like necessary for promoting the distribution of real estate.

[0191] In the processes of S380 to S384, it is not necessary for all of the seller recruitment device 620, the buyer recruitment device 622, the information presentation device 624, and the introduction device 626 to operate. It is sufficient if one or more of them operate. Further, the seller recruitment device 620, the buyer recruitment device 622, the information presentation device 624, and the introduction device 626 may selectively perform both or one of the processes of S382 and S384.

[0192] In the real estate service system 1 described above, the amount of charge from the real estate information service server 4 to the user is appropriately set according to the operation policy of the operator of the real estate information service server 4. For example, if the amount of charge is set lower than the amount of the commission, the user can obtain the certificate of registered matters at a lower cost than obtaining it directly from the legal affairs bureau system 2 without going through the real estate information service server 4.

[0193] On the other hand, the operator of the real estate information service server 4 will be able to obtain the certificate of registered matters necessary for various services for promoting the circulation of real estate at a lower cost by the amount of charge to the user. Therefore, by appropriately setting the amount of charge in relation to the amount of the commission, benefits can be brought to both the user and the operator of the real estate information service server 4.

[0194] Also, as shown in FIG. 11B by the circulation promotion information creation device 608, a destination ID can be assigned to all of the owners of the real estate specified by the certificate of registered matters indicated by the certificate information stored in the certificate DB 40, not limited to the users having an account in the real estate information service server 4. Therefore, the real estate service system 1 can provide services for promoting real estate circulation not only to the user but also to all of the owners of the real estate that the certificate providing service system 42 can acquire.

[0195] Hereinafter, a modification example of the operation of the real estate service system 1 will be described. Although the case where a DM is created for the purpose of soliciting the promotion of real estate circulation has been exemplified above, in the real estate service system 1, various services such as the presentation of real estate information limited to the user can be provided.

[0196] Figures 16 and 17 are first and second communication sequence diagrams showing a modified example of the operation of the real estate service system 1. Note that Figures 16 and 17 show a case where, in the real estate service system 1, the operation is changed according to whether or not the certificate information indicating the certificate of registration items requested by the user shown in Figures 1, 5, and 6 is stored in the certificate DB40.

[0197] As shown in Figures 16 and 17, after the processes of S320 to S324 shown in Figure 14, the process proceeds to S380. In step S380, the user request receiving device 448 inquires of the certificate DB40 whether or not the certificate information indicating the requested certificate of registration items is stored.

[0198] As shown in Figure 16, when the user request receiving device 448 receives a response from the certificate DB40 that the certificate information indicating the requested certificate of registration items is not stored, the processes of S336 to S348 shown in Figure 14 are performed.

[0199] On the other hand, as shown in Figure 17, when the certificate information indicating the requested certificate of registration items is stored in the certificate DB40 and the user request receiving device 448 can read this certificate information from the certificate DB40 in step S384, the process of S330 is performed. Note that, as shown by the dotted line in Figure 17, whether or not to perform the processes of S342 to S348 regarding the charging from the real estate information service server 4 to the user at this time depends on the operation policy of the operator of the real estate information service server 4.

[0200] That is, for example, the operator of the real estate information service server 4 can operate such that no charging is performed when providing the user with the certificate of registration items indicated by the certificate information stored in the certificate DB40, and charging is performed only when providing the user with the certificate of registration items obtained from the legal affairs bureau system 2.

[0201] Furthermore, the components that the service providing device 62 may include are not limited to the seller recruitment device 620, the buyer recruitment device 622, the information presentation device 624, and the introduction device 626. For example, when the operator of the real estate information service server 4 provides a new service to promote the circulation of real estate, the circulation promotion information creation device 608 stores data indicating the service type indicating this new service in the circulation promotion information, and further, components for realizing this new service may be added to the service providing device 62.

[0202] FIG. 18 is a diagram showing a modified example of the circulation promotion information shown in FIG. 11B. As shown in FIG. 18, the circulation promotion information does not always have to include all of the data shown in FIG. 11B, and among these data, it may be sufficient to include data indicating the service type and one or more destination IDs. The service providing unit 62 may use the circulation promotion information shown in FIG. 18 to create, for example, a destination seal to be printed by the printer 102 for the owner of the real estate indicated by the destination ID included in each of its entries and pasted on the envelope of the DM.

[0203] As described above, the embodiments of the present invention have been described. However, these embodiments are presented as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. This novel embodiment can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, replacements, and changes can be made without departing from the gist of the invention. This embodiment and its modifications are included in the scope and gist of the invention and are included in the invention described in the claims and its equivalent scope.
