Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a time bank-based rural vacant house sharing platform system and method, and more specifically, to a time bank-based rural vacant house sharing platform system and method that enables urban dwellers who lack sufficient experience in rural living to receive the know-how and labor necessary for rural living at a minimal cost without purchasing a rural house. Background Technology

[0002] If the problem of vacant houses in our country originated from the rural-to-urban migration phenomenon in fishing and fishing communities, it has now become a nationwide issue.

[0003] In particular, the acceleration of population decline and urban decay caused by low growth, low birth rates, and an aging population is leading to a shift in social perception where people do not prefer housing in areas with poor environmental conditions, such as aging residential areas.

[0004] As such, due to the increase in the elderly population, the decline in newborn births, and above all, the progress of rapid urbanization, many habitable houses are being left vacant, and this phenomenon is accelerating further in rural areas and remote villages outside of cities.

[0005] As such, social problems arising from unmanaged and neglected vacant rural houses or abandoned homes are increasing.

[0006] However, if an empty house is left unoccupied for a long period, it rapidly deteriorates and eventually becomes uninhabitable, leading to a decrease in the property value of the house.

[0007] The technology forming the background of the present invention is disclosed in Korean Published Patent No. 10-2023-0081384 (published June 7, 2023). The problem to be solved

[0008] The present invention relates to a time bank-based rural vacant house sharing platform system and method that enables urban dwellers without sufficient experience in rural living to receive the know-how and labor necessary for rural living at a minimal cost without purchasing a rural house. means of solving the problem

[0009] The present invention provides a time bank-based rural vacant house sharing platform system comprising: a vacant house data construction unit that receives rural vacant house information, including an intention to share a rural vacant house, from a landlord terminal and constructs a list of vacant houses by region; a vacant house residency application unit that provides the list of vacant houses by region to a hopeful terminal of a hopeful user of a vacant house, receives an application for a desired vacant house within the list, and provides information on the basic repair costs set for the vacant house; a time bank management unit that, upon confirmation of the deposit of the hopeful user's basic repair costs, deposits compensation hours corresponding to the basic repair costs into the hopeful user's time bank account; and a control unit that provides a list of vacant houses including information on compensation hours paid per vacant house to a donor terminal of at least one time donor, receives a selection of information on vacant houses and available hours for donation, and matches the hopeful user with the time donor.

[0010] In addition, the control unit may provide a matching result to the hoper terminal and the donor terminal, thereby enabling the hoper to receive labor necessary for rural life from the time donor in the form of a time donation within the hoper's accumulated compensation time limit.

[0011] In addition, when the time bank management unit receives input from the applicant terminal regarding the time donor's fulfillment of a time donation, it can exhaust the reward time by deducting the time donated by the time donor from the reward time accumulated in the applicant's account.

[0012] In addition, the control unit can receive the donation availability time information within the accumulated compensation time limit from the applicant who applied for the use of the vacant house.

[0013] In addition, the time donor may be a resident within the area where the vacant house is located, or may be the same as the owner of the vacant house.

[0014] In addition, the above-mentioned vacant house data construction unit can receive registration of rural vacant house information, including the intention to share the rural vacant house, an image of the vacant house, its location, and the basic repair costs, from the above-mentioned landlord terminal.

[0015] In addition, when the control unit receives input from the applicant terminal regarding the fulfillment of the time donor's time donation, it grants the applicant the authority to act as a time donor for the same area for the duration of the donated time, thereby enabling the applicant to serve as a time donor for other applicants who wish to use the vacant house within that area and need time to live in the vacant house in the countryside.

[0016] The present invention comprises a method for a rural vacant house sharing service performed by a time bank-based rural vacant house sharing platform system, the method comprising: a step of constructing a list of vacant houses by region by receiving rural vacant house information including an intention to share the rural vacant house from a landlord terminal; a step of providing the list of vacant houses by region to a hopeful terminal of a hopeful user of the vacant house, receiving an application for a desired vacant house within the list, and providing information on a basic repair fee set for the vacant house; a step of accumulating compensation time corresponding to the basic repair fee into the hopeful's time bank account when the deposit of the hopeful's basic repair fee is confirmed; and a step of providing a list of vacant houses including information on compensation time paid for each vacant house to a donor terminal of at least one time donor, receiving a selection of a vacant house and information on available time for donation, and matching the hopeful and the time donor.

[0017] In addition, the above method for sharing a rural vacant house may further include the step of providing a matching result to the applicant terminal and the donor terminal to receive labor necessary for rural living from the time donor in the form of a time donation within the applicant's accumulated compensation time limit.

[0018] In addition, the above method for sharing a rural vacant house may further include a step of exhausting the reward time by deducting the time donated by the time donor from the reward time accumulated in the hopeful's account when the fact that the time donor has fulfilled the time donation is input from the hopeful's terminal. Effects of the invention

[0019] According to the present invention, prospective rural residents can receive various forms of labor necessary for settling into rural life from local residents in the form of time donations by bearing only the basic repair costs required to reside in or use a rural house as a second home, without the burden of directly owning a rural house.

[0020] In addition, for owners of vacant houses in the countryside, having someone live in their vacant house can have the effect of preserving and maintaining their vacant house, thereby preserving the property value of their vacant house. Brief explanation of the drawing

[0023] Throughout the specification, when a part is described as being "connected" to another part, this includes not only cases where they are "directly connected," but also cases where they are "electrically connected" with other components interposed between them. Furthermore, when a part is described as "including" a certain component, this means that, unless specifically stated otherwise, it does not exclude other components but may include additional components.

[0024] FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a time bank-based rural vacant house sharing platform system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0025] As shown in FIG. 1, a time bank-based rural vacant house sharing platform system (100) according to an embodiment of the present invention can transmit and receive information to and from a plurality of user terminals (200, 300, 400) via a wired, wireless, or combined wired-wireless network. The wireless network may include at least one of RF, WLAN, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth methods, and various known wireless network methods may be used.

[0026] In an embodiment of the present invention, the user terminal includes a landlord terminal (200), a hopeful terminal (300), and a donor terminal (400), each of which can be connected to at least one system (100).

[0027] The rural vacant house sharing platform system (100) may correspond to a server that provides rural vacant house sharing services between network-connected landlord terminals (200), hopeful terminals (300), and donor terminals (400). The rural vacant house sharing platform system (100) can store and manage membership registration information, personal information, rural house information, various histories, etc., entered from each of the landlord, hopeful, and donor terminals (200, 300, 400), and can provide various information necessary for the vacant house sharing service to each terminal (200, 300, 400).

[0028] The proposed system (100) can provide a rural vacant house sharing service platform implemented as an application or web to each network-connected user terminal (200, 300, 400). The service platform may be an application running in a mobile app or web environment.

[0029] The landlord terminal (200), the applicant terminal (300), and the donor terminal (400) may each include a device capable of exchanging information by connecting to a wired or wireless network, such as a PC, desktop, smartphone, tablet, or notebook.

[0030] This time bank-based rural empty house sharing platform system (100) enables city dwellers who do not have sufficient experience living in the countryside to receive the know-how and labor necessary for rural living at a minimal cost without purchasing a rural house.

[0031] FIG. 2 is a diagram conceptually illustrating a time bank-based rural vacant house sharing platform according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0032] As shown in FIG. 2, the time bank-based rural vacant house sharing platform system (100) provides a time bank-based rural vacant house sharing service between a landlord terminal (200) on the landlord's side who wishes to share the rural vacant house, a hopeful terminal (300) on the hopeful's side who wishes to use the rural vacant house, and a donor terminal (400) on the time donor's side who donates labor necessary for the hopeful's rural life.

[0033] The time bank-based rural empty house sharing platform system (100) can match a hopeful who wishes to live in the countryside with a donor who fulfills a time donation by collecting and exchanging relevant information and intentions necessary for rural empty house sharing services among the landlord, the hopeful, and the donor.

[0034] This invention allows prospective rural residents to live in the countryside without the burden of directly owning a country house, by only covering the basic house repair costs (e.g., wallpapering costs, water and electricity restoration costs, yard maintenance costs, etc.) required to reside in or use a country house as a second home, and receiving compensation from a time bank for those costs, thereby receiving various labor skills (e.g., farming, country life know-how, tending to the country house, tending to the country house, tending to the vegetable garden, etc.) necessary for settling into rural life from local residents in the form of time donations.

[0035] In addition, donors may contribute not only their time from local residents but also their time from expatriates and general citizens, as well as cash to cover expenses.

[0036] Figure 3 is a detailed diagram showing the configuration of the time bank-based rural vacant house sharing platform system illustrated in Figure 1.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 3, a time bank-based rural vacant house sharing platform system (100) according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a vacant house data construction unit (110), a vacant house residency application unit (120), a time bank management unit (130), and a control unit (140). Here, the operation of each unit (110 to 130) and the data flow between each unit can be controlled by the control unit (140).

[0038] This time bank-based rural vacant house sharing platform system (100) may be physically configured and implemented as a computer device including a processor, memory, user interface input / output device and storage device, network input / output unit, etc., or may be implemented as an application program running on a computer device or user terminal.

[0039] The vacant house data construction unit (110) receives rural vacant house information, including the intention to share rural vacant houses, from a network-connected landlord terminal (200) and constructs a list of vacant houses for each region.

[0040] The vacant house residence application department (120) provides a list of vacant houses by region to the applicant terminal (300) on the side of the applicant wishing to use the vacant house connected to the network, receives an application for a desired vacant house within the list of vacant houses, and informs the applicant of the basic repair costs set for the corresponding vacant house.

[0041] The time bank management department (130) manages the compensation time corresponding to the basic repair cost by depositing it into the applicant's time bank account when the deposit of the applicant's basic repair cost is confirmed.

[0042] The control unit (140) provides a list of vacant houses containing information on compensation time paid per vacant house to at least one donor terminal (400) on the network-connected side of the time donor, and selects a vacant house that wishes to donate time and information on available time for donation, thereby matching the wisher with the time donor.

[0043] Accordingly, the control unit (140) provides a matching result to the hopeful terminal (300) and the donor terminal (400) so that the hopeful can receive labor necessary for rural life from the time donor in the form of a time donation within the hopeful's accumulated compensation time limit.

[0044] Figure 4 is a diagram illustrating a time bank-based rural vacant house sharing service method using the system of Figure 2.

[0045] First, the vacant house data construction unit (110) receives rural vacant house information, including the intention to share rural vacant houses, from the landlord terminal (200) and constructs a list of vacant houses for each region (S410).

[0046] The vacant house data construction unit (110) can receive rural vacant house information, including the intention to share the rural vacant house, an image of the rural vacant house, a location (address), and basic repair costs, from at least one landlord terminal (200).

[0047] Here, the basic repair cost may cover essential or basic home repair items necessary for daily life, such as wallpapering, water and electricity restoration, and yard maintenance. Of course, the basic repair cost may be determined by the landlord or a professional, taking into account the condition of the vacant house, its size, and the items to be repaired, or it may be set according to established guidelines for calculating repair costs.

[0048] This vacant house data construction unit (110) can collect information on vacant rural houses from homeowners in various regions and build a database related to vacant rural houses by region.

[0049] The vacant house residence application department (120) provides a list of vacant houses by region to the applicant terminal (300) of the applicant who wishes to use the vacant house, receives an application for a desired vacant house from the list of vacant houses, and provides information on the basic repair costs set for the vacant house (S420).

[0050] The application department for vacant house residence (120) can provide a list of rural vacant houses that can be applied for by at least one applicant terminal (300) connected to the network, and can provide comprehensive information regarding the location, image, basic repair costs, etc. for each rural vacant house in the list.

[0051] Additionally, when the applicant terminal (300) selects a vacant house they wish to use from a list of rural vacant houses, the vacant house application unit (120) can provide information on basic repair costs for the vacant house and procedures for depositing repair costs. At this time, it supports various payment methods required for depositing repair costs and can support procedures such as account deposit to a pre-designated account and card payment.

[0052] Afterwards, when the time bank management department (130) confirms the deposit of the applicant's basic repair fee, it credits the compensation time corresponding to the basic repair fee into the applicant's time bank account (S430).

[0053] The time bank management department (130) can create and manage time bank accounts for each user. If we assume that the basic repair cost deposited by the applicant for the vacant rural house is 500,000 won and 2 hours are compensated for every 100,000 won, then a total of 10 hours are accumulated in the applicant's time bank account. Accordingly, the applicant secures 10 hours as opportunity time to receive the labor necessary for rural life.

[0054] Next, the control unit (140) can provide a list of vacant houses containing information on compensation time paid per vacant house to at least one donor terminal (400) on the side of the time donor, and can match the desired person with the time donor by receiving the information on the vacant house and the time available for donation (S440).

[0055] The control unit (140) can provide a list of vacant houses including information on compensation time paid for each vacant house to at least one donor terminal (400) connected to the network, and can provide information regarding the location, image, and compensation time accumulated for each rural vacant house in the list to a prospective applicant who has applied to use the vacant house.

[0056] Here, the time donor may be a resident within the area where the vacant house is located (local resident), may be the same as the owner of the vacant house, or may also be a person from the region who has moved away or an ordinary citizen.

[0057] At this time, the control unit (140) can receive a selection of an empty house that wishes to donate time, available time for donation, and donation items. The time donation items may include gardening, farming, tending to a country house, and know-how on rural life. As for available time for donation, it can be selected within the limit of accumulated reward time for the applicant who applied to use the empty house.

[0058] In addition, the control unit (140) can receive a selection from the donor terminal (400) of an empty house and available donation time that the donor wishes to donate time from a list, and can match the user and the donor with the applicant terminal (300) that applied to use the empty house.

[0059] The control unit (140) provides a mutual matching result to the hopeful terminal (300) and the donor terminal (400) (S450), so that labor required for rural life (e.g., farming, rural life know-how, tending to a country house, tending to a country house, tending to a vegetable garden, etc.) is provided from the time donor in the form of a time donation within the hopeful's accumulated reward time limit.

[0060] In an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to match one applicant with at least one donor. For example, if the accumulated reward time is 10 hours, labor required for rural life can be donated from at least one hour donor within the 10-hour limit. For example, 10 hours can be donated from one donor, or 10 hours can be donated by two donors, divided into 5 hours each.

[0061] Here, when the donor's promised time donation fulfillment is completed, the fact of completion can be confirmed from the hopeful terminal (300).

[0062] That is, when the time bank management department (130) receives input from the applicant terminal (300) regarding the time donor's time donation fulfillment, it can manage the reward time by deducting the actual donation time fulfilled by the time donor from the reward time accumulated in the applicant's account (S460).

[0063] Here, the fulfillment of the time donation may include not only the full fulfillment of the total donation time requested by the donor, but also the fulfillment of a portion of the total time. If a time donation of 2 hours per day is received from one donor for 5 days and the fulfillment of the time donation is entered as 2 hours per day, the 10 hours accumulated for the donor may be completely exhausted to 0 hours on the last day.

[0064] In this way, the present invention returns the basic repair fee paid by a prospective user for the use of an empty rural house to the user as a deposit in a time bank, and enables the user to utilize the deposit to receive assistance, such as labor and know-how necessary for rural living, on-site as needed.

[0065] In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, when the control unit (140) receives input from the applicant terminal (300) regarding the fact that a time donor has fulfilled their time donation, it grants the applicant the authority to be a time donor for the same area for the duration of the donated time received, thereby enabling the applicant to act as a time donor for other applicants who wish to use the vacant house in the area and need time to live in the vacant house in the countryside.

[0066] In this way, according to the present invention, a person who uses a vacant house in the countryside and receives a donation of time can be converted into a donor of time to other users who wish to use the same vacant house or another vacant house in the same area, thereby enabling the transmission of the experience of rural life and revitalizing the countryside by stimulating the influx of outsiders.

[0067] In addition, the present invention may serve as an engine for revitalizing rural life by allowing depositors of the time bank, that is, those wishing to use vacant houses, to pay a certain allowance to elderly people in the countryside and receive additional assistance necessary for rural life, thereby enabling them to pay costs corresponding to various demands for rural labor beyond the time donations of the local residents.

[0068] This invention enables urban residents to use vacant rural houses, which are increasing due to the acceleration of rural hollowing and population aging, without paying the significant cost of purchasing such houses.

[0069] In other words, urban dwellers who wish to use a vacant rural house only need to bear the minimum cost required to improve the vacant house for use, and the cost incurred is accumulated in a time bank. This allows them to withdraw the time accumulated in the time bank to receive various forms of assistance needed for rural living for free from the rural area, such as farming, tending to the garden of a country house, or camping in the countryside. Therefore, the present invention enables urban dwellers who wish to live in a vacant rural house to live in the countryside with virtually no cost.

[0070] The additional benefits through a time bank-based rural vacant house sharing platform are as follows.

[0071] First, by preventing the hollowing out of rural areas and acting as an engine that facilitates new visits and influx of urban dwellers into rural regions—progressing from weekend use to intermittent weekday use, then to permanent residence, and finally to rural settlement—it can serve as a platform for a new form of mutual exchange between cities and the countryside.

[0072] Second, through the time bank donation system, it is possible to enable donations that are directly linked to the living conditions and economic flow of specific regions, thereby activating a donation system directly linked to local housing, jobs, and industries.

[0073] Third, as the number of urban dwellers utilizing vacant rural houses increases, it is expected to generate an increase in the rural population. Furthermore, by reviving the tradition of mutual aid and cooperation in the region based on this platform, it is anticipated that modern people exhausted by the competitive life in the city will be able to experience new comfort and rest not only in housing but also in their lifestyles.

[0074] The present invention has been described with reference to embodiments illustrated in the drawings, but this is merely illustrative, and those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications and equivalent alternative embodiments are possible therefrom. Accordingly, the true technical scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the technical spirit of the appended claims. Explanation of the symbols
