The parts list Lp may include information identifying a complete assembly of parts, such as CKD (Complete Knock Down), half-cut nose, or nose cut.

[0016] The current price Pc is the current price of each part of the vehicle. The current price Pc may be the market price obtained from the network 110. The current price Pc may be obtained from the market price master for parts. The market price master may include the default price of parts specified by the vehicle type and product code. The current price Pc may be obtained by searching for the price from the market price master based on the vehicle type and the product code of the part. The current price Pc may be obtained based on the vehicle type, and if no price based on the vehicle type is found, it may be obtained based on the recognized type. The current price Pc for special parts such as engines may also be obtained from the appraisal unit price master indicating the price according to conditions such as the presence or absence of a catalyst.

[0017] The order processing unit 20 presents the selling price according to the vehicle information Iv, the part list Lp, and the current price Pc, and accepts an order for the parts of the vehicle. The order processing unit 20 may accept an order via an EC site.

[0018] The price variation unit 30 dynamically varies the selling price of parts. The price variation unit 30 may update the selling price of the ordered parts based on the number of orders for the parts of the vehicle. The price variation unit 30 may update the selling price at a predetermined timing. The price variation unit 30 may update the selling price by a batch process once a day. The price variation unit 30 may vary the selling price within a range where it does not fall below a predetermined basic price.

[0019] The customer information acquisition unit 40 may acquire the customer information Ic from the storage unit 50. The customer information acquisition unit 40 may acquire the customer information Ic from the network 110 and store the acquired customer information Ic in the storage unit 50.

[0020] Figure 2 is a diagram showing an example of a screen of a used vehicle parts sales site. The order receiving management system 100 may sell used vehicle parts to customers through the sales site. The sales site may be an EC site for customers to search for and purchase used vehicle parts.

[0021] The sales site may display parts by parts category or by vehicle. The order management system 100 may display an image of the vehicle before disassembly and the vehicle name. The order management system 100 in this example displays categories of exterior and suspension. The image of the vehicle may be a photo, an illustration, or a CG.

[0022] The exterior category may include exterior parts such as a nose cut, a front bumper, a front door (right), and a front door (left). For each part, the part name, an image indicating the part, and the selling price may be displayed. The suspension category may include undercarriage parts such as a front axle assembly, a front strut (right), a front strut (left), and a rear axle assembly.

[0023] The sales site may have a search function. On the sales site, it may be possible to search for parts by keyword. Customers can enter any search term to find the desired parts. Customers may search for the vehicle before disassembly and select the necessary parts from the list of parts of the searched vehicle. Customers may also directly search for used parts.

[0024] Figure 3 is a diagram showing an example display of a customer order screen. The order management system 100 may receive an order for used parts from a customer through the customer order screen. The customer order screen is a screen that displays order information for the parts selected by the customer. The customer order screen may include container information regarding the customer's container. The customer order screen may be displayed on an arbitrary display unit such as a monitor by the order processing unit 20. The order management system 100 may be equipped with a display unit, or may display information on an external display unit.

[0025] The customer order screen may display each item such as the part name, the vehicle name, the part price, and the quantity. The customer order screen may display a plurality of part information in a list format. In the column of the part name, information identifying the part selected by the customer may be displayed. In the column of the part price, the selling price corresponding to each part may be displayed.

[0026] The order processing unit 20 may accept orders in container units for storing vehicle parts. Customers purchase parts from the sales site, load them into containers, and then transport the containers. By ordering in container units, customers can determine the number of containers required to transport the parts and adjust the costs associated with transporting the containers. The order processing unit 20 may display the container occupancy rate on the customer order screen. The container occupancy rate may be the predicted occupancy rate when the parts selected on the order screen are loaded into the containers. Customers can select parts based on the container occupancy rate and adjust the quantity of parts they order to fit into the containers. The method for determining the container occupancy rate will be described later.

[0027] The price adjustment unit 30 may update the selling price based on the container's filling rate. The price adjustment unit 30 may lower the selling price if the container's filling rate is lower than a predetermined value. The selling price may be lowered by a predetermined percentage or discounted by a predetermined amount. The price adjustment unit 30 may raise the selling price if the container's filling rate is higher than a predetermined value. The selling price may be raised by a predetermined percentage or increased by a predetermined amount.

[0028] The price fluctuation unit 30 may fluctuate the price of a part based on the condition of the used part. The price fluctuation unit 30 may fluctuate the price of a part based on the year of manufacture of the vehicle, or based on the mileage of the vehicle. The price fluctuation unit 30 may estimate the condition of the part based on the vehicle information Iv. In addition, the price fluctuation unit 30 may determine the price of a part based on the current price Pc of the part set for each year of manufacture of the vehicle.

[0029] The order management system 100 may adjust the selling price of parts according to the customer's budget. The order processing unit 20 may display the customer's budget on the customer order screen. For example, the order processing unit 20 displays the customer's budget limit that can be used for one container on the customer order screen. The price adjustment unit 30 may adjust the selling price of parts according to the customer's budget. The price adjustment unit 30 may adjust the price of parts that cannot be purchased within the customer's budget to a price that can be purchased within the budget.

[0030] Figure 4 shows an example of the order management screen. The order management screen is a screen used by the sales site administrator to manage customer order information. The order management screen may be displayed on any display unit, such as a monitor, by the order processing unit 20. The order management screen may include container information related to the customer's container.

[0031] The order management screen may display order details for each customer. The order management screen may include the same content as displayed on the customer order screen. The order management screen may display the following items: part name, vehicle name, part price, and quantity.

[0032] Container information may include the container status of the customer's container. The container status indicates whether the customer's container is open or closed. When the customer's container is open, it means that additional parts orders can be accepted and parts can be accommodated in that container. When the customer's container is closed, it means that additional parts cannot be ordered to accommodate that container.

[0033] Figure 5 is a diagram illustrating the container filling rate. This diagram visually shows the arrangement of parts inside customer B's container. The container diagram includes the container body, filling rate information, and information on the parts contained. The order management system 100 may calculate the container filling rate relative to the container capacity based on the volume of the parts. The order management system 100 may calculate the container filling rate based on the weight and shape of the parts.

[0034] Here, the container filling rate may be constrained by factors such as the volume, weight, shape, and strength of the parts when loading them into a container. Therefore, it may be necessary to determine the container filling rate by considering not only the volume of the parts themselves, but also the space created when the parts are loaded. The order management system 100 may calculate the effective occupied volume required to accommodate each type of part in the container and determine the container filling rate based on the effective occupied volume. For example, the closer the shape of the part is to a cube, the closer the effective occupied volume will be to the actual volume of the part, and the more complex the shape of the part, the larger the effective occupied volume will be compared to the actual volume of the part.

[0035] The order management system 100 may display the container filling rate numerically, or it may display a simulated image of the parts loaded. In addition to the container filling rate, the order management system 100 may also display the ratio of the total weight of the parts to the container's weight limit.

[0036] The order processing unit 20 may highlight parts that can be additionally accommodated in the container based on the container's filling rate. The order processing unit 20 may also hide parts that cannot be additionally accommodated in the container based on the container's filling rate. This allows customers to easily determine which parts can be purchased additionally.

[0037] Figure 6A shows an example of price fluctuation processing when a container is closed. This figure shows the processing of the price fluctuation unit 30 when a container belonging to customer A, whose container is open, is closed. This figure shows an example of price fluctuation logic for price reductions.

[0038] The customer information acquisition unit 40 may acquire container information regarding containers for storing parts purchased by customers, as well as the customer's purchase history. The price change unit 30 may determine the status of multiple customers' containers based on the container information, and update the sales price based on the customer's purchase history in response to changes in the container status.

[0039] The price fluctuation unit 30 may execute price fluctuation processing triggered by a change in the container state. For example, the price fluctuation unit 30 may change the selling price in response to a change in the container state from open to closed, or in response to a change in the container state from closed to open. In this example, the price fluctuation unit 30 may lower the selling price based on the purchase history of other customers whose containers are open in response to a customer's container being closed. The price fluctuation unit 30 may obtain the purchase history of other customers whose containers are open from the customer information acquisition unit 40 in response to a customer's container being closed.

[0040] The price adjustment unit 30 may lower the selling price based on the highest purchase price of the corresponding part as a purchase history of other customers, or it may lower the selling price based on the average purchase price of the corresponding part. For example, the price adjustment unit 30 may lower the selling price if the highest prices ordered by customers B and C are lower than the current price Pc in response to customer A's container being closed.

[0041] Figure 6B shows an example of price fluctuation processing when a container is opened. This figure shows the processing of the price fluctuation unit 30 when a container belonging to customer D, which is different from the containers of customers A, B, and C that are already open, is opened. This figure shows an example of price fluctuation logic in response to price increases.

[0042] The price adjustment unit 30 may increase the selling price based on the purchase history of the customer whose container is open, in response to the opening of a container by one customer. The price adjustment unit 30 may also increase the selling price based on the highest purchase price of the corresponding part, or based on the average purchase amount of the corresponding part, as a result of the purchase history of other customers. For example, the price adjustment unit 30 may increase the selling price in response to the opening of a container by customer D if the highest price ordered by customers A, B, C, and D is greater than the current price Pc.

[0043] Figure 7 shows the price fluctuation when there are multiple orders. If there are multiple orders for a single part, the order management system 100 may consider the demand for that part to be high and may implement a price increase for the part.

[0044] The price fluctuation unit 30 may update the selling price of ordered parts based on the number of orders for those parts. The price fluctuation unit 30 checks the number of orders for vehicle parts at predetermined intervals, and if there are multiple orders for a vehicle part and the current price Pc of the part with multiple orders is below the agreed selling price, it may raise the selling price. The price fluctuation unit 30 may check the number of orders once a day, once a week, or once a month.

[0045] This diagram illustrates the price fluctuation logic when orders for part 1 are placed by customer A and customer B. The execution price is the selling price corresponding to the orders from customer A and customer B for part 1. If the selling prices of the multiple orders are different, the execution price may be the average of the selling prices, or the highest or lowest selling price may be used as the execution price.

[0046] The price fluctuation unit 30 performs a comparison process between the current price and the contract price. In this example, the price fluctuation unit 30 raises the selling price of part 1 depending on whether the current price Pc of part 1 is less than or equal to the contract price of part 1. For example, if the current price Pc is less than or equal to the contract price, the price fluctuation unit 30 raises the selling price by 10%.

[0047] Furthermore, the price adjustment unit 30 may check the number of orders for vehicle parts at predetermined timings and lower the selling price of parts for vehicles that have not been ordered. This allows the order management system 100 to dynamically adjust the selling price of vehicle parts in accordance with the demand for used car parts.

[0048] Figure 8 is a flowchart showing the order management method of the order management system 100. This process may be started when a new used vehicle is brought into the inventory.

[0049] In step S100, the vehicle information acquisition unit 10 acquires vehicle information Iv about the vehicle before dismantling. In step S102, the vehicle information acquisition unit 10 may acquire a parts list Lp of parts that can be removed from the vehicle based on the acquired vehicle information Iv. The vehicle information acquisition unit 10 may also acquire the current price Pc of each part of the vehicle based on the parts list Lp. For example, the vehicle information acquisition unit 10 can automatically generate or acquire a parts list Lp even before dismantling by referring to a parts database using basic information such as the vehicle model or certified model as a key and extracting a list of parts that are standard equipment on the vehicle. This allows the order management system 100 to register parts that can be sold on the system before the vehicle dismantling work is carried out.

[0050] In step S104, the order processing unit 20 may accept an order for vehicle parts by presenting the sales price of the parts based on the acquired parts list Lp and current price Pc. In step S104, the actual vehicle may have the parts installed and be in a state prior to dismantling.

[0051] The order processing unit 20 may present the customer with a list of vehicle parts corresponding to the specified vehicle information Iv. The customer may specify a vehicle and obtain a list of parts to be taken from that vehicle. The customer may obtain a list of parts to be taken from a vehicle based on a photograph of the vehicle. The order processing unit 20 may present the customer with a list of parts corresponding to the specified vehicle and part type. The customer may specify both the vehicle and part type and obtain a list of the corresponding parts. In this way, the order management system 100 can provide a list of parts that meets the customer's needs, even before the vehicle is dismantled.

[0052] In step S106, the price fluctuation unit 30 dynamically changes the selling price of the parts. That is, the price fluctuation unit 30 can change the selling price of the parts to be taken out of the vehicle before the vehicle is dismantled. The order management system 100 can freely change the selling price of parts while reducing the risk of dismantling parts with unclear demand and storing them as inventory. Furthermore, by reducing the risk of storing them as inventory, it is possible to sell parts at an appropriate price without excessive price reductions.

[0053] In step S108, after receiving an order for vehicle parts, the order processing unit 20 may output a production instruction for producing parts from the vehicle. For example, the order processing unit 20 may output a production instruction for parts to a management system that manages vehicle dismantling and parts production. The production instruction may also be sent to the terminal of a worker performing vehicle dismantling work.

[0054] In the previous method of manually pricing parts, it was necessary to determine prices for the numerous parts removed from the vehicle, making it difficult to price parts even before dismantling. Furthermore, pricing after dismantling sometimes resulted in excessive price reductions to clear inventory. In contrast, the order management system 100 in this example provides a parts list before dismantling, allowing for price adjustments. This reduces the risk of storing parts as inventory while enabling the sale of parts at a fair price. As a result, the order management system 100 can shorten the lead time to the sale of parts and avoid lost opportunities.

[0055] Figure 9 shows an example of a computer 1200 in which this embodiment may be embodied in whole or in part. A program installed on the computer 1200 can cause the computer 1200 to function as an operation or one or more sections of the apparatus according to this embodiment, or to execute such operation or one or more sections, and / or to cause the computer 1200 to execute a process or a stage of such process according to this embodiment. Such a program may be executed by the CPU 1212 to cause the computer 1200 to perform a specific operation associated with some or all of the blocks of the flowcharts and configuration diagrams described herein.

[0056] The computer 1200 according to this embodiment includes a CPU 1212, RAM 1214, a graphics controller 1216, and a display device 1218, which are interconnected by a host controller 1210. The computer 1200 includes a communication interface 1222, a storage device 1224 such as a hard disk drive, a DVD-ROM drive 1226, and input / output units such as an IC card drive, which are connected to the host controller 1210 via an input / output controller 1220. The computer also includes legacy input / output units such as a ROM 1230 and a keyboard 1242, which are connected to the input / output controller 1220 via an input / output chip 1240.

[0057] The CPU 1212 operates according to the programs stored in the ROM 1230 and RAM 1214, thereby controlling each unit. The graphics controller 1216 acquires the image data generated by the CPU 1212 from the frame buffer provided in RAM 1214 or from itself, and displays the image data on the display device 1218.

[0058] The communication interface 1222 communicates with other electronic devices via a network. The storage device 1224 stores programs and data used by the CPU 1212 in the computer 1200. The DVD-ROM drive 1226 reads programs or data from the DVD-ROM 1227 and provides them to the storage device 1224 via the RAM 1214. The IC card drive reads programs and data from the IC card and / or writes programs and data to the IC card.

[0059] The ROM 1230 stores boot programs and / or programs that depend on the hardware of the computer 1200, which are executed by the computer 1200 when activated. The input / output chip 1240 may connect various input / output units to the input / output controller 1220 via a parallel port, serial port, keyboard port, mouse port, etc.

[0060] The program is provided on a computer-readable medium such as a DVD-ROM 1227 or an IC card. The program is read from the computer-readable medium and installed on a storage device 1224, RAM 1214, or ROM 1230, which are examples of computer-readable mediums, and executed by the CPU 1212. The information processing described within these programs is read by the computer 1200, resulting in coordination between the program and the various types of hardware resources described above. The apparatus or method may be configured to realize the manipulation or processing of information in accordance with the use of the computer 1200.

[0061] For example, when communication is performed between a computer 1200 and an external device, the CPU 1212 may execute a communication program loaded into RAM 1214 and, based on the processing described in the communication program, instruct the communication interface 1222 to perform communication processing. Under the control of the CPU 1212, the communication interface 1222 reads transmission data stored in a transmission buffer processing area provided in a recording medium such as RAM 1214, storage device 1224, DVD-ROM 1227, or IC card, transmits the read transmission data to the network, or writes received data received from the network to a receive buffer processing area provided on the recording medium.

[0062] The CPU 1212 reads all or necessary parts of a file or database stored on an external recording medium such as the storage device 1224, DVD-ROM drive 1226 (DVD-ROM 1227), or IC card into the RAM 1214, and may perform various types of processing on the data in the RAM 1214. The CPU 1212 then writes the processed data back to the external recording medium.

[0063] Various types of information, such as various types of programs, data, tables, and databases, may be stored on the recording medium and subjected to information processing. The CPU 1212 may perform various types of processing on the data read from RAM 1214, including various types of operations, information processing, conditional judgments, conditional branching, unconditional branching, information retrieval / replacement, etc., as described throughout this disclosure and specified by the program instruction sequence, and write the results back to RAM 1214. The CPU 1212 may search for information in files, databases, etc., within the recording medium. For example, if multiple entries are stored in the recording medium, each having an attribute value of a first attribute associated with an attribute value of a second attribute, the CPU 1212 may search among the multiple entries for an entry that matches the condition for which the attribute value of the first attribute is specified, read the attribute value of the second attribute stored in that entry, and thereby obtain the attribute value of the second attribute associated with the first attribute that satisfies a predetermined condition.

[0064] The programs or software modules described above may be stored on or near computer-readable media on computer 1200. Recording media such as hard disks or RAM provided within a server system connected to a dedicated communication network or the Internet can be used as computer-readable media, thereby providing the programs to computer 1200 via the network.
