Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional real estate management systems face challenges in balancing convenience for property operation management and tenant privacy protection while also enhancing property value, often resulting in excessive equipment and operational costs due to the need for separate systems for intermediation and operation management.

Innovation Solution

A real estate management system utilizing internal imaging units, tenant-side devices, operation regulation units, and service provider devices connected through a communication network for authentication, access control, and security record services, which includes authentication based on deed data and external access control to manage real estate properties efficiently and securely.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a real estate management system provides operation management services and security services to enhance property value, then the added value of real estate properties is improved, but the equipment and operation costs become excessively high due to the need for separate systems

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproperty valueVSAvoidequipment and operation costs
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the real estate intermediary system and the operation management system into a single integrated system. The intermediary server device that originally handled sales and purchases now also provides operation management services, security services, and evaluation services through the same communication network infrastructure, eliminating the need for separate systems and reducing equipment and operational costs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The intermediary server device is designed to perform multiple functions: it serves as both an intermediary for real estate transactions and as a platform for operation management, security monitoring, and objective evaluation of security and safety indices. This multi-functional approach allows a single system to replace what would traditionally require multiple separate systems

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If a system provides convenience for operation management of real estate properties, then the ease of operation is improved, but the privacy protection of tenants deteriorates due to increased access and data collection

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation management convenienceVSAvoidtenant privacy exposure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements differential access control where different users have different levels of access to the same real estate property data. The intermediary server device provides tailored information to different users based on their roles and authorization, allowing operation management convenience while protecting tenant privacy through localized data access rights

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The intermediary server device acts as a mediator between operation management needs and tenant privacy protection. It collects and processes operation management data while controlling what information is exposed to whom, serving as a buffer that enables convenient management without direct exposure of sensitive tenant information

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

To achieve a balance between convenience in managing/handling real estate properties and privacy protection of tenants while reducing the facility cost and operating cost. A real estate management system is equipped with: a camera robot 61 for capturing an interior image of a real estate property 3; a tenant side device 41 for controlling communications with the camera robot 61; an operation regulation unit 402c for regulating operation of the tenant side device 41 on the basis of an operation performed by a tenant of the real estate property 3; a communication service provider side device 7 connected to the camera robot 61 over a communication network and controlling a communication service using the camera robot 61; and a real estate manager side device 8 connected to the camera robot 61 over the communication network and executing a real estate management service using the camera robot 61. The communication service provider side device 7 and the real estate manager side device 8 are permitted to connect to the camera robot 61 on the basis of an authentication result of a device side authentication unit 402b and an approval operation performed by the tenant.
