Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a system and method for displaying information about real estate properties, and a system and method for selecting a real estate agency. [Background technology]

[0002] A real estate portal site is an online platform that aggregates property information provided by real estate management companies and provides an efficient search environment for users looking for real estate properties such as rental condominiums and apartments. By providing comprehensive information on real estate management companies and real estate brokerage companies, it enhances the convenience of users' property searches. Regarding real estate portal sites, for example, a system has been disclosed that uses the Internet to compare and match property information provided by real estate management companies with property information desired by users in order to efficiently mediate transactions between real estate agents and users looking for properties (see Patent Document 1). Also, a system has been disclosed that quickly and automatically provides information in response to user inquiries about real estate properties (see Patent Document 2).

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-047068 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2022-033591 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, among the properties posted on real estate portal sites, there are cases where properties that have already been applied for are listed without being updated, or where updates are delayed and properties that have already been applied for are still listed as available. For real estate businesses, this has the advantage of being able to attract more customers by listing many attractive properties on real estate portal sites. On the other hand, for those looking for real estate, this has the disadvantage of not being able to apply for the property they want and having to make numerous inquiries to find a property that meets their needs.

[0005] In order to resolve such problems, the present invention aims to provide a system that can directly reflect information about real estate properties held by real estate management companies and display information that is convenient for users searching for real estate properties. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] A real estate information display system according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a property information acquisition unit that receives real estate property information, including the property name, floor plan, rental conditions, and location of real estate properties for rent provided by a real estate management company; an application information determination unit that determines whether or not there is application information for the real estate property from the real estate property information acquired by the property information acquisition unit; an attribute determination unit that determines the attributes of the real estate management company if the application information determination unit determines that there is no application information; and a real estate information posting unit that outputs information related to the real estate property to a Web server. If the application information determination unit determines that the real estate property information includes application information and that there are no applications for the real estate property, the application information determination unit instructs the real estate information posting unit to display, along with the real estate property information, a message indicating that the real estate property is open and that there are no applications; if the real estate property information includes application information and determines that there are applications for the real estate property, the application information determination unit instructs the real estate information posting unit to display, along with the real estate property information, a message indicating that the real estate property is open and that there are applications; and if it determines that the real estate property information does not include application information, causes the attribute determination unit to determine the attributes of the real estate management company. If the attribute discrimination unit determines that the real estate management business has a first attribute that does not provide information about the real estate property if an application has been made, it instructs the real estate information posting unit to have the web server display, along with the real estate property information, that the real estate property is currently accepting applications and that no applications have been made; if the real estate management business has a second attribute that provides information about the real estate property even if an application has been made, it instructs the real estate information posting unit to have the web server display, along with the real estate property information, that the real estate property is currently accepting applications and that an application must be confirmed.

[0007] A real estate information display system according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a database in which the attributes of real estate management companies are recorded, and the attribute determination unit may determine the attributes of the real estate management companies by referring to the database.

[0008] A real estate agent selection system according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a property information acquisition unit that receives real estate property information, including the property name, floor plan, rental conditions, and location, for real estate properties for rent provided by a real estate management company; an agent determination unit that determines whether an agent has been set for the real estate property from the real estate property information acquired by the property information acquisition unit; an agent selection unit that selects an agent assigned to the location by referencing the location of the real estate property; and an agent setting unit that sets a specific agent as the agent responsible for the real estate property. If the agent determination unit determines that an agent has been set for the real estate property, it sets the set agent as the specific agent, and if it determines that no agent has been assigned to the real estate property, the agent selection unit selects the agent assigned to the location as the specific agent.

[0009] A real estate agent selection system according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a database in which agents for each region are registered, and the agent selection unit may have the function of selecting an agent by referring to the database.

[0010] A real estate property management system according to one embodiment of the present invention includes the above-described real estate information display system and the above-described real estate transaction intermediary business operator selection system.

[0011] A real estate information display method according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a property information acquisition unit receiving real estate property information about real estate properties for rent provided by a real estate management company, the property information acquisition unit receiving real estate property information including the property name, floor plan, rental conditions, and location, and an application information determination unit determining whether or not there is application information for the real estate property from the real estate property information acquired by the property information acquisition unit. If the application information determination unit determines that the real estate property information includes information indicating whether an application has been made or not, the application information determination unit instructs the real estate information posting unit to display, via a web server, the real estate property information and the fact that the real estate property is open for applications and whether or not there is an application. If the application information determination unit determines that the real estate property information does not include application information, the application information determination unit instructs the attribute determination unit to determine the attributes of the real estate management company. If the real estate management business provides information about a real estate property regardless of whether an application has been made or not, the attribute determination unit instructs the web server to display a message indicating that the real estate property requires confirmation along with the real estate property information; if the real estate management business does not provide information about whether an application has been made, the attribute determination unit determines the attribute of the real estate management business, and if it determines that the real estate management business has a first attribute of not providing information about a real estate property when an application has been made, it instructs the real estate information posting unit to display that the real estate property is currently accepting applications and that no applications have been made, along with the real estate property information; if it determines that the real estate management business has a second attribute of providing information about a real estate property even when an application has been made, it instructs the real estate information posting unit to display that the real estate property is currently accepting applications and that confirmation of an application is required, along with the real estate property information.

[0012] In a real estate information display method according to one embodiment of the present invention, a database may be provided in which the attributes of real estate management companies are recorded, and the attribute determination unit may determine the attributes of the real estate management company by referring to the database.

[0013] In a real estate information display method according to one embodiment of the present invention, the application information determination unit determines whether the real estate property information is API-linked, and if it determines that the real estate property information is API-linked, the application information determination unit may again request the provision of application information via API linkage via the property information acquisition unit, determine the status of the acquired application information, and based on the determination result, instruct the real estate information posting unit to display the status of the application information together with the real estate property information.

[0014] A real estate agent selection method according to one embodiment of the present invention includes: a property information acquisition unit receiving real estate property information, including the property name, floor plan, rental conditions, and location, for real estate properties for rent provided by a real estate management company; a brokerage business determination unit determining, from the real estate property information acquired by the property information acquisition unit, whether a brokerage business has been set for the real estate property; and a brokerage business setting unit assigning a specific brokerage business as the brokerage business responsible for the real estate property. If the brokerage business determination unit determines that a brokerage business has been set for the real estate property, it determines the set brokerage business as the specific brokerage business; and if it determines that no brokerage business has been set for the real estate property, the brokerage business selection unit references the location of the real estate property and selects the brokerage business assigned to the location as the specific brokerage business.

[0015] In the real estate agent selection method according to one embodiment of the present invention, a database may be provided in which agents for each region are registered, and the agent selection unit may select an agent by referring to the database. [Effects of the Invention]

[0016] According to the real estate property information display system and real estate information display method of one embodiment of the present invention, information regarding whether or not an application has been made can be displayed without delay for each rental property listed on a real estate portal site, thereby increasing convenience for users who are demanders of rental properties.

[0017] According to the real estate agent selection system and real estate agent selection method of one embodiment of the present invention, even if a specific agent is not set for a real estate property, it is possible to select an appropriate agent. Furthermore, even if multiple agents are involved in the same real estate property, it is possible to select an agent located near the real estate property, thereby providing convenience to the applicant.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0019] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms, and should not be construed as being limited to the description of the embodiments exemplified below. For clarity of explanation, the drawings may show the width, thickness, shape, etc. of each part schematically compared to the actual form, but these are merely examples and do not limit the interpretation of the present invention. Furthermore, in this specification and each drawing, elements similar to those previously described with reference to the previous drawings are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed descriptions may be omitted as appropriate. Furthermore, the letters "first" and "second" attached to each element are convenient labels used to distinguish each element and have no further meaning unless otherwise specified.

[0020] In this specification, a "real estate management business" refers to a business that manages and operates real estate on behalf of a real estate owner, and that handles a wide range of tasks such as managing and maintaining rental properties, recruiting tenants, and handling complaints. Furthermore, the term "business" refers to a corporation or individual that operates a specific business, and is used to refer to an organization that can be the subject of legal rights and obligations, and that has a legal entity form such as a joint stock company or limited liability company.

[0021] In this specification, the term "real estate brokerage business" refers to a business that acts as an intermediary between a seller or lessor and a buyer or lessee when selling or renting real estate, and works to conclude a real estate purchase and sale contract or rental contract.

[0022] In this specification, "application information" refers to information indicating whether or not an application for a contract or the like has been made for a particular real estate property; for example, application information for a rental property refers to information indicating whether or not an application for a rental contract has been made for that rental property.

[0023] FIG. 1 shows the relationship between a real estate portal site 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention, a real estate management company 200, and a terminal 203 of a user who is a buyer of real estate properties. The real estate portal site 10 according to this embodiment has the function of acquiring real estate property information provided by the real estate management company 200 via a conversion system 201 and application management systems 201A and 202B, and providing the acquired information about the real estate property to a user terminal 203. There are various types of real estate properties, such as rental properties, properties for sale, and land, but this embodiment will mainly focus on rental properties. A real estate management company is a business that is entrusted by the owner (landlord) of the property to manage and operate the property.

[0024] 1, the real estate portal site 10 according to this embodiment includes a real estate property management system 100, a database server 160, and a web server 150. The real estate property management system 100 includes a property information acquisition unit 105, a real estate information display system 110, and a real estate agent selection system 120. The database server 160 includes a real estate property database 1602 and a real estate management agent attribute database 1604.

[0025] 1 shows a configuration in which a real estate portal site 10 is connected to a conversion system 201 and acquires real estate property information from a real estate management company 200 via the conversion system 201. The conversion system 201 is a system that manages real estate property information and customer data, and exchanges and integrates data between different formats and different systems. When the real estate management company 200 registers real estate property information, the conversion system 201 has the function of efficiently providing the information to the inoperable portal site 10 and other real estate portal sites (not shown) while maintaining data consistency.

[0026] The real estate portal site 10 can acquire information about real estate properties from the conversion system 201, and can acquire application information for real estate properties from the application management systems 202A and 202B. In addition, the real estate portal site 10 can acquire information from the application management system 202A via the conversion system 201.

[0027] FIG. 2 shows an example of the data structure of real estate property information 300 handled by the real estate property management system 100 shown in FIG. 1 . In the real estate property information 300, a property ID 301 is assigned to each real estate property, and each property includes building information 302, room information 303, transaction information 304, status information 305, manager information 306, data management information 307, and the like. The building information 302 includes information such as the property name, location, transportation (such as routes and nearest stations), building structure, number of floors, and age. The room information 303 includes information such as rent, management fees, available move-in date, floor plan / floor plan, exclusive area, direction, and photo data (exterior and interior). The transaction information 304 includes information such as the brokerage fee and the type of brokerage (exclusive / general). The status information 305 is information used to manage the status of real estate properties, and includes viewing information indicating whether a viewing request has been made and application information indicating whether an application for the property has been made. The application information included in the status information 305 is information that is utilized in the real estate information display system 110, which will be described later. The manager information 306 includes information such as the management company ID and the name of the management company. The data management information 307 includes information such as the initial registration date and the information update date. Note that the data structure of the real estate property management information 300 shown in FIG. 2 is an example, and information not listed above may be included, or a different data structure may be used.

[0028] Referring again to FIG. 1, application management systems 202A and 202B are used by real estate management business operator 200 to manage real estate property application information and provide the real estate property application information to real estate portal site operators. FIG. 1 shows a configuration in which application management system 202A is linked to conversion system 201. Application management system 202A can update application information via conversion system 201, and can reflect the updated information in other systems including real estate portal site 10. Some real estate management businesses may operate without linking to a conversion system, as in application management system 202B.

[0029] The real estate portal site 10 can acquire information about real estate properties from the conversion system 201. The real estate portal site 10 can also acquire information from the application management system 202A via the conversion system 201.

[0030] The conversion system 201 is connected to the real estate portal site 10 via a telecommunications line (Internet). FIG. 1 shows an embodiment in which the conversion system 201 is connected to the real estate portal site 10 via a telecommunications line TL01. Furthermore, if there is an application management system 202B that does not cooperate with the conversion system 201, the real estate portal site 10 may be connected to the application management system 202B via a telecommunications line TL02. Furthermore, the real estate portal site 10 may be configured to be directly connected to the application management system 202A via a telecommunications line TL03. The telecommunications line may be an Internet line or a dedicated line. In FIG. 1, the line TL01 is a line capable of conversion cooperation, and the lines TL02 and TL03 are lines capable of API (Application Programming Interface) cooperation or RPA (Robotic Process Automation) cooperation.

[0031] Here, API integration refers to a mechanism for different software or systems to exchange data and functions with each other, an interface for applications to communicate with each other, and a mechanism that defines rules and protocols for accessing specific functions and data. In Figure 1, application management system 202A is API integrated with real estate property management system 100, allowing data to be shared between the systems in real time (the same applies to application management system 202B).

[0032] RPA integration is a tool that can automatically exchange data with various applications and systems and automate business processes, automating routine, repetitive tasks. RPA integration makes it possible to automate data entry and processing between applications, improving business efficiency. However, it differs from API integration in that it does not allow data to be shared simultaneously between different systems or devices.

[0033] The conversion system 201 is connected to the real estate property management system 100 via a telecommunications line TL01 so as to enable conversion linkage. The conversion linkage converts data between different formats and data forms, enabling data exchange between systems and applications, and also converting data obtained from different APIs into a unified format and sending it to other systems.

[0034] As explained above, FIG. 1 shows that the real estate management business 200 can provide the real estate property information 300 shown in FIG. 2 to the real estate portal site 10 using the conversion system 201 and the application management systems 202A and 202B. FIG. 1 shows that the conversion system 201 and the application management system 202A are linked, and that the real estate property management system 100 can obtain the real estate property information 300 entered by the property management business 200 from the conversion system 201, and information entered or updated in the application management system 202A via the conversion system 201. The real estate property management system 100 may also include a configuration that can obtain application information provided by the real estate management business 200 from the application management system 202A via the telecommunications line TL03. With this configuration, application information and the like can be appropriately obtained from the application management system 202A through API integration or RPA integration.

[0035] Fig. 1 shows another embodiment in which real estate property management system 100 can acquire information provided by real estate management company 200 from application management system 202B. In other words, Fig. 1 shows that real estate property management system 100 can acquire application information entered by property management company 200 from application management system 202B (without going through a conversion system). Even in this case, real estate property management system 100 can appropriately acquire application information, etc. from application management system 202B through API linkage or RPA linkage.

[0036] The application management systems 202A and 202B can link with the real estate portal site 10 through RPA linkage, and can also link similar data manually. For example, information such as vacancies for real estate properties registered in the application management system can be manually updated. By performing manual processing, some or all of the real estate property information 300 provided to the real estate property management system 100 (or acquired by the real estate property management system 100) can be updated at any time.

[0037] As shown in Fig. 1, the real estate property management system 100 may further include a real estate information input unit 106. The real estate information input unit 106 may have the function of registering real estate properties for the real estate management company 200 and providing an input screen on a computer for updating registered information. With this configuration, the real estate property management system 100 can have the real estate management company 200 directly submit real estate property information without going through the conversion system 201, making it possible to obtain the latest information and to dedicate the system to specific real estate properties.

[0038] With this configuration, the real estate management business operator 200 can provide real estate property information to multiple real estate portal sites 10 without delay and with good work efficiency, and the business operator of the real estate portal site 10 has the advantage of being able to reflect the latest information on the portal site.

[0039] The real estate portal site 10 has a function of obtaining the real estate property information (including application information) obtained as described above from the real estate management business 200 and providing it to the user 203 via the Web server 150.

[0040] Generally, in order to acquire customers (users), real estate management businesses 200 distribute information to a real estate distribution information network system, which is a platform for sharing real estate property information, and real estate agents post real estate property information on real estate portal sites to solicit customers (users). When real estate rental contracts are concluded on such conventional platforms, multiple real estate agents may simultaneously post the same rental property on multiple real estate portal sites. In such cases, if multiple users of the real estate portal site inquire about the same rental property to multiple real estate agents, the viewing and application information may become confused, and the real estate portal site may not update the information in real time, which may reduce user convenience or cause inconvenience to users.

[0041] In contrast, the real estate portal site 10 according to this embodiment has a mechanism for obtaining real estate property information from either the conversion system 201, the application management system 202A, or the application management system 202B, and providing the real estate property information as well as the application status of each real estate property to multiple user terminals 203 (user terminal 203A, user terminal 203B, user terminal 203C), thereby improving user convenience and preventing disadvantages. For example, the real estate portal site 10 according to this embodiment displays information on whether an application has been made on the screen displaying information about rental properties, thereby preventing disadvantages such as a user unknowingly applying for a rental property that has already been applied for. Below, details of each system constituting the real estate portal site 10 according to this embodiment will be described.

[0042] [First embodiment] In this embodiment, the configuration of a real estate information display system and a display method of real estate information displayed by the real estate display system will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0043] 3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a real estate information display system 110 according to this embodiment. The real estate information display system 110 includes a property information acquisition unit 105, an application information determination unit 1101, an attribute determination unit 1102, and a real estate information publishing unit 1103.

[0044] The property information acquisition unit 105 is connected to the conversion system 201, the application management system 202A, and the application management system 202B via telecommunications lines (the Internet). By inputting real estate property information into the conversion system 201 and inputting real estate property application information, etc. into the application management system 202A and / or the application management system 202B, the real estate management business 200 can post the property information and application information, etc. on multiple real estate portal sites. Figure 3 shows a schematic diagram of how the property management business 200 cooperates with the conversion system 201, the application management system 202A, and the application management system 202B.

[0045] The property information acquisition unit 105 acquires real estate property information, for example, information about rental properties, from the conversion system 201. The collection of real estate property information by the property information acquisition unit 105 may be performed automatically at regular intervals, for example, by setting a specific time, or may be performed manually by the administrator of the real estate portal site 10. The property information acquisition unit 105 stores the acquired real estate property information in the real estate property database 1602. In addition, the property information acquisition unit 105 acquires application information for real estate properties from the application management system 202A, or from the application management system 202B, or information from the application management system 202A via the conversion system 201.

[0046] Information about rental properties includes information such as the property name, floor plan, rental conditions (rent, management fees, etc.), and location, as exemplified by real estate property information 300 shown in FIG. 2. Furthermore, information about rental properties may or may not include application information indicating whether an application has been made for the rental property. In other words, the status information 305 in the real estate property information 300 shown in FIG. 2 may or may not be included. An application for a rental property is information indicating whether a formal procedure has been initiated by an applicant with a real estate management company to rent a specific rental property.

[0047] Typically, in order for an applicant to sign a rental property contract, they must select a specific rental property, and once they have decided on a property, they must fill out an application form with the necessary information, gather all the necessary documents, and submit it to a real estate management company or real estate brokerage. Once the real estate management company receives the application from the applicant directly or through a real estate brokerage, they begin the process of screening the applicant's credibility and suitability. At this stage, a real estate rental contract has not yet been concluded, but since there is an applicant who will be a future tenant for the rental property, the status is one of "application received." If the screening is successful, a rental contract is concluded between the real estate management company and the applicant.

[0048] In addition, there may be multiple applicants for a single rental property, and in such cases, the first applicant is usually given priority based on the principle of first come, first served. In such cases, there is no uniform rule for how to handle second and third applicants, and it varies from real estate management company to real estate management company. For example, some real estate management companies will reject the applications of the second and third applicants, while others will accept the applications of the second and third applicants and reserve them in case the first applicant does not pass the screening.

[0049] 3 shows real estate management company 200, but there may be multiple real estate management companies 200, and as mentioned above, some real estate management companies may or may not provide the presence or absence of application information to application management system 202A and / or application management system 202B, and some may not provide the relevant real estate property information if an applicant is present. The real estate information display system 110 according to this embodiment has a function that can improve convenience for consumers who use the real estate portal site 10 by classifying and appropriately managing the handling of application information as an attribute of real estate management company 200.

[0050] The application information determination unit 1101 determines whether or not application information is included in the real estate property information acquired by the property information acquisition unit 105. If the application information determination unit 1101 determines that application information is included in the real estate property information and that no application has been made for the real estate property, the real estate information posting unit 1103 instructs the Web server 150 to display, together with the real estate property information, that the real estate property is currently accepting applications and that "no applications have been made." If the application information determination unit 1101 determines that application information is included in the real estate property information and that there has been an application for the real estate property, the real estate information posting unit 1103 instructs the Web server 150 to display, together with the real estate property information, that the real estate property is currently accepting applications and that "applications have been made."

[0051] On the other hand, if the application information determination unit 1101 determines that the real estate property information does not contain application information, the attribute determination unit 1102 determines the attribute of the real estate management business that provided the real estate property information. The attributes of the real estate management business are classified according to whether or not the business provides information regarding the presence or absence of an application to the application management system 202A and / or the application management system 202B, whether or not the business will not provide the real estate property to the conversion system 201 if an application is made, and so on.

[0052] For example, a real estate management business that does not provide information about a real estate property when an application is made can be classified as a first attribute, and a real estate management business that provides information about a real estate property even when an application is made can be classified as a second attribute. Information about the attributes of such real estate management businesses can be stored in advance in the real estate business business database 1604 of the database server 160.

[0053] If the attribute discrimination unit 1102 determines that the real estate management company has a first attribute of not providing information about the real estate property if an application has been made, it instructs the real estate information posting unit 1103 to display on the real estate portal site 10 the real estate property information along with the fact that the real estate property is currently being sought and that "no application" has been received, and if the attribute discrimination unit 1102 determines that the real estate management company has a second attribute of providing information about the real estate property even if an application has been made, it instructs the real estate information posting unit 1103 to display on the web server 150 the real estate property information along with the fact that the real estate property is currently being sought and that "confirmation required" has been received regarding the application.

[0054] FIG. 4 shows an example of a real estate property viewing screen (property detail page) displayed on the user's terminal 203 by the Web server 150. The example of the viewing screen shown in FIG. 4 is a screen displaying details of a rental property. The rental property viewing screen 220 displays visual information 222, such as photos and floor plans, introducing the property; property information 224, which displays the property name and location; rental condition information 226, which displays rent, management fees, brokerage fees, etc.; and a property introduction section 228, which describes the property. Furthermore, as described in this embodiment, the rental property viewing screen 220 on the screen of the user terminal 203 displays an application information display section 230. The application information display section 230 displays "No application," "Application received," or "Confirmation required" for the rental property. By displaying such application information on the rental property viewing screen 220, a prospective rental property user accessing the real estate portal site 10 can instantly view the application information of the rental property they searched for, which can be used as a reference for selecting a property and can avoid duplicate applications for rental properties for which there are already applicants.

[0055] The real estate information display system 110 of this embodiment has the function of determining whether or not application information is included in real estate property information and appropriately displaying information regarding whether or not an application has been made for each rental property listed on the real estate portal site 10, thereby enabling information regarding real estate properties held by real estate management companies to be reflected directly and in a timely manner, thereby increasing convenience for users who are demanders of rental properties.

[0056] Next, the flow of processing (method of displaying real estate information) in the real estate information display system 110 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

[0057] The property information acquisition unit 105 receives real estate property information including the property name, floor plan, rental conditions, and location of real estate properties for rent provided by the real estate management company 200 from the first application management system 2022, the conversion system 2024, or the second application management system 2026 (S301).

[0058] Next, the application information determination unit 1101 determines whether or not there is application information for the real estate property from the real estate property information acquired by the property information acquisition unit 105 (S302). If the application information determination unit 1101 determines that the real estate property information includes information indicating whether an application has been made or not (Y in S302), the application information determination unit 1101 instructs the real estate information posting unit 1103 to display on the Web server 150 the real estate property information along with the information indicating whether the real estate property is currently accepting applications and whether or not there are applications, and "Applications Made" or "No Applications Made" is displayed in the application information display field 230 (see FIG. 4) (S305). Note that if there are applications, the number of applications can also be displayed at the same time. If the application information determination unit 1101 determines that the real estate property information does not include application information (N in S302), the attribute determination unit 1102 determines the attributes of the real estate management business operator (S303).

[0059] If the property management company provides information about the property regardless of whether an application has been made (Y in S303), the attribute discrimination unit 1102 instructs the property information posting unit 1103 to display the property information together with the property information on the web server 150, indicating whether or not an application has been made for the property as "confirmation required," and this is displayed in the application information display field 230 (see Figure 4) (S307).

[0060] Furthermore, if the attribute determination unit 1102 determines that the real estate management company has not provided information on whether or not an application has been made (N in S303), it determines the attributes of the real estate management company (S304). The attribute determination unit 1102 refers to the real estate company database 1604 to determine the attributes of the real estate management company.

[0061] If the attribute discrimination unit 1102 determines that the property management business has a first attribute of not providing information about the property if an application has been made (Y in S304), it instructs the real estate information posting unit 1103 to have the Web server 150 display the real estate property information together with the real estate property information, and the application information display field 230 (see FIG. 4) displays "No application" for the property (S306). Also, if the attribute discrimination unit 1102 determines that the property management business has a second attribute of providing information about the property even if an application has been made (N in S304), it instructs the Web server 150 to have the real estate information posting unit 1103 display the real estate property information together with the real estate property information, and the application information display field 230 (see FIG. 4) displays "Confirmation required" for the property (S307).

[0062] According to this method of displaying real estate information, it is possible to appropriately display information regarding whether or not an application has been made for each rental property listed on the real estate portal site 10, thereby increasing convenience for those seeking rental properties.

[0063] FIG. 6 shows the flow of processing when the application management system 202A or the application management system 202B determines whether or not there is API cooperation and displays real estate property information.

[0064] First, step S301 is executed as described with reference to Fig. 5. Next, it is determined whether the real estate property information is linked to an API (S322). If the application information determination unit 1101 determines that the acquired real estate property information is not linked to an API (N in S322), the process proceeds to step S302 in Fig. 5, and the processing from step S302 onwards shown in Fig. 5 is performed. On the other hand, if it determines that the real estate property information is linked to an API (Y in S322), the application information determination unit 1101 sends a request to the API via the property information acquisition unit 105 to request application information from the application management system 202A or the application management system 202B (S324).

[0065] Then, the application information determination unit 1101 determines the status of the application information acquired through API linkage as described above (S326). The application information status includes "application received," "no application received," and "recruitment closed." If the status of the application information is determined to be "no application received" (X in S326), the real estate information posting unit 1103 instructs the Web server 150 to display "no application received" in the application information display field 230 on the rental property viewing screen 220 (S328). If the status of the application information is determined to be "recruitment closed" (Y in S326), the real estate information posting unit 1103 instructs the Web server 150 to display "recruitment closed" in the application information display field 230 (S330).

[0066] If it is determined that the status of the application information is "applications received" (Z in S326), the application information determination unit 1101 determines whether the application information includes the number of applications (S332). If it is determined that the application information includes the number of applications (Y in S332), the real estate information posting unit 1103 instructs the Web server 150 to display the number of applications as "x applications received" in the application information display field 230 (S334). On the other hand, if it is determined that the application information does not include the number of applications (N in S332), the real estate information posting unit 1103 instructs the Web server 150 to simply display "applications received" in the application information display field 230 (S336).

[0067] In addition, in step S324, the property information acquisition unit 105 can send a request to the API to request application information from the application management system 202A or the application management system 202B, and then proceed to step S302 shown in Figure 5 and perform processing from step S302 onwards shown in Figure 5.

[0068] In this way, when real estate property information is linked to an API, the application information displayed on the viewing page of the real estate portal site 10 can be quickly and up-to-date, further improving user convenience.

[0069] [Second embodiment] In this embodiment, a real estate agent selection system and a real estate agent selection method will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0070] 7 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the real estate agent selection system 120 according to this embodiment. The real estate agent selection system 120 includes a property information acquisition unit 105, an agent determination unit 1201, an agent selection unit 1202, and an agent setting unit 1203.

[0071] The property information acquisition unit 105 is similar to that in the first embodiment, and is connected to the application management system 202A and / or the application management system 202B, and acquires real estate property information, such as information about rental properties (property name, floor plan, rental conditions, location, etc.).

[0072] The intermediary business determination unit 1201 determines whether a real estate intermediary business has been set for a real estate property (for example, a rental property) from the real estate property information acquired by the property information acquisition unit 105. If the intermediary business determination unit 1201 determines that a real estate intermediary business has been set for the real estate property, the intermediary business selection unit 1202 selects that real estate intermediary business, and the intermediary business setting unit 1203 sets the selected real estate intermediary business as the real estate intermediary business for that real estate property.

[0073] On the other hand, if the real estate agent determination unit 1201 determines that no real estate agent has been assigned to the real estate property, the real estate agent selection unit 1202 selects a real estate agent assigned to the address as a specific real estate agent, and the real estate agent setting unit 1203 sets the selected real estate agent as the real estate agent for the real estate property. In this case, the real estate agent selection unit 1202 may select an agent by referring to a real estate agent database 1604 in which real estate agents by region are registered.

[0074] Alternatively, the real estate agent selection unit 1202 may specify the location on a map where the relevant real estate property is located by latitude and longitude, and select a real estate agent located close to the location on the map specified by the latitude and longitude. In this case, it is preferable that the locations on the map of the real estate agents are registered in the real estate agent database 1604 by latitude and longitude. The real estate agent selection unit 1202 may select, from the real estate agents registered in the real estate agent database 1604, a real estate agent located in a location closest in latitude and longitude to the location on the map where the relevant real estate property is located.

[0075] Furthermore, the intermediary business selection unit 1202 can also select an intermediary business located near a particular real estate property and close to the applicant's address, based on the applicant's address for that real estate property.

[0076] In another embodiment, the intermediary agent selection unit 1202 may be configured to select multiple real estate agents operating in the area where the relevant real estate property is located from among the real estate agents registered in the real estate agent database 1604, and present them to the applicant via the Web server 150, so that the applicant can freely select a specific real estate agent from the presented multiple real estate agents. In this case, the intermediary agent setting unit 1203 may be configured to set the inactive intermediary agent selected by the applicant as the intermediary agent for the relevant real estate property.

[0077] In yet another embodiment, the applicant may notify the real estate agent selection system of the real estate agent of his / her choice via the web server 150, and the agent selection unit 1202 may select the designated real estate agent as the agent for the relevant real estate property.

[0078] According to the real estate agent selection system 120 of this embodiment, even if a specific agent is not set for a real estate property, an appropriate agent can be selected. Also, even if multiple agents are involved in the same real estate property, an agent located near the property can be selected, providing convenience to the applicant.

[0079] Next, the flow of processing (method of selecting a real estate agent) in the real estate agent selection system 120 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

[0080] The property information acquisition unit 105 receives real estate property information including the property name, floor plan, rental conditions, and location of a real estate property for rent provided by a real estate management company from the application management system 202A and / or the application management system 202B (S311).

[0081] Next, the intermediary business operator determination unit 1201 determines whether or not an intermediary business operator has been set for the real estate property from the real estate property information acquired by the property information acquisition unit 105 (S312). If it is determined that an intermediary business operator has been set for the real estate property (Y in S312), the intermediary business operator selection unit 1202 selects the set intermediary business operator as the intermediary business operator for the real estate property, and the intermediary business operator setting unit 1203 sets the intermediary business operator as the intermediary business operator for the real estate property (S313).

[0082] If the intermediary business determination unit 1201 determines that no intermediary business has been set for the real estate property (N in S312), the intermediary business selection unit 1202 refers to the location of the real estate property (S314), selects the intermediary business assigned to that location as the specific intermediary business, and the intermediary business setting unit 1203 sets it as the intermediary business for that real estate property (S315).

[0083] In this case, the real estate agent selection unit 1202 may, as in the above, identify the location on a map where the relevant real estate property is located by latitude and longitude, and select a real estate agent located near the location on the map identified by the latitude and longitude. Alternatively, the real estate agent selection unit 1202 may select, from among the real estate agents registered in the real estate agent database 1604, a real estate agent located in a location closest in latitude and longitude to the location on the map where the relevant real estate property is located. Furthermore, the real estate agent selection unit 1202 may, based on the address of an applicant for a specific real estate property, select a real estate agent located near the real estate property and close to the applicant's address.

[0084] According to the real estate agent selection method of this embodiment, even if a specific agent is not set for a real estate property, it is possible to select an appropriate agent. Furthermore, even if multiple agents are involved in the same real estate property, it is possible to select an agent located near the real estate property, thereby providing convenience to the applicant.

[0085] [Third embodiment] 9 shows the configuration of a real estate property management system 100 that integrates the real estate information display system 110 shown in the first embodiment and the real estate agent selection system 120 shown in the second embodiment. By integrating these systems and operating them in conjunction with each other, it is possible to provide users with the latest information regarding applications for real estate properties, and to smoothly manage real estate information.

[0086] The real estate information display system 110 shown in the first embodiment and the real estate agent selection system 120 shown in the second embodiment can be realized by the functions of a server. The server is constructed with hardware resources such as a CPU (processor), memory (RAM), storage devices (hard disk drives (HDDs), solid state drives (SDDs)), and a network interface. In addition, when constructed as a small-scale system, it can also be realized by a general-purpose personal computer.

[0087] The above-described embodiments of the present disclosure may be combined as appropriate as long as they are not mutually inconsistent. A configuration in which a person skilled in the art appropriately adds or deletes components or modifies the design based on each embodiment is also included within the scope of the present invention as long as it includes the gist of the present invention.

[0088] Even if there are other effects and advantages different from those brought about by the above-described embodiments, those that are clear from the description in this specification or that can be easily predicted by a person skilled in the art are naturally understood to be brought about by the present invention.
