Detailed Description

Embodiments of a transaction mediation device, a transaction mediation method, and a storage medium according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following, a vehicle is used as an example of an article to be traded, but other articles may be used. The vehicle is, for example, a two-wheel, three-wheel, four-wheel or the like vehicle, and the drive source thereof is an internal combustion engine such as a diesel engine or a gasoline engine, an electric motor, or a combination thereof. The electric motor operates using generated power generated by a generator connected to the internal combustion engine or discharge power of a secondary battery or a fuel cell.

Fig. 1 is a block diagram of an intermediation system 1 including a transaction intermediation device of the embodiment. The mediating system 1 includes, for example, a transaction mediating server 100, a first terminal device 200 used by a user U1 of the mediating system 1, and a second terminal device 300 used by a user U2. These components can communicate with each other via a network NW. The network NW includes the internet, wan (wide Area network), lan (local Area network), a telephone line, a public line, a private line, a provider device, a wireless base station, and the like. The user U1 is, for example, a seller who sells the vehicle M for sale in the transaction intermediation service provided by the intermediation system 1. The user U2 is, for example, a desired viewer who desires to view the vehicle M or a prospective purchaser who subscribes to purchase the vehicle M. The first terminal device 200 and the second terminal device 300 may be mobile terminals such as smartphones and tablet terminals, or may be stationary pcs (personal computers). The mediation system 1 may include a plurality of first terminal devices 200 and second terminal devices 300. The transaction mediation server 100 is an example of a "transaction mediation device". The transaction mediation server 100 may be managed by, for example, a mediation dealer of an inter-individual transaction, or may be managed by a vehicle sales dealer (for example, a dealer), an auction manager, or the like.

[ transaction mediation server ]

The transaction mediation server 100 includes, for example, a communication unit 110, an authentication unit 120, an acquisition unit 130, an evaluation unit 140, a mediation unit 150, an information providing unit 160, a processing unit 170, and a storage unit 180. The acquisition unit 130, the evaluation unit 140, the mediation unit 150, the information providing unit 160, and the Processing unit 170 are realized by a hardware processor execution program (software) such as a cpu (central Processing unit), for example. Some or all of these components may be implemented by hardware (including circuit units) such as lsi (large Scale integration), asic (application Specific Integrated circuit), FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), gpu (graphics Processing unit), or the like, or may be implemented by cooperation of software and hardware. The program may be stored in advance in a storage device (a storage device including a non-transitory storage medium) such as an hdd (hard Disk drive) or a flash memory, or may be stored in a removable storage medium (a non-transitory storage medium) such as a DVD or a CD-ROM, and may be attached to the storage device of the transaction mediation server 100 by being mounted on a drive device or the like via the storage medium. The transaction mediation server 100 may function as a cloud server that communicates with the first terminal device 200 and the second terminal device 300 via the network NW to transmit and receive various data.

The storage unit 180 may be implemented by the various storage devices described above, or an EEPROM, a ROM, a RAM, and the like. The storage unit 180 stores, for example, user information 182, sales information DB184, purchase request information 186, transaction history information 188, programs, and other various information. Details of the user information 182, the sales information DB184, the purchase request information 186, and the transaction history information 188 will be described later.

The communication unit 110 communicates with the first terminal device 200, the second terminal device 300, and other external devices via the network NW.

The authentication unit 120 registers information on users (for example, users U1 and U2) who use the mediation system 1. Specifically, information related to the user is received from the first terminal device 200 and the second terminal device 300, and the received information is registered with the user information 182 in the storage unit 180.

Fig. 2 is a diagram for explaining the content of the user information 182. The user information 182 corresponds to information such as address, name, age, sex, and contact address, for example, to authentication information for authenticating a user at the time of use of the mediation system 1. The authentication information includes, for example, a user ID, a password, and the like as identification information for identifying a user. The authentication information may include biometric authentication information such as fingerprint information and iris information. The contact method is, for example, a telephone number, a mail address, and terminal identification information assigned to the first terminal device 200 in the case of the user U1, and a telephone number, a mail address, and terminal identification information assigned to the second terminal device 300 in the case of the user U2. The transaction mediation server 100 can communicate with and provide information to the first terminal device 200 and the second terminal device 300 based on the information of the contact information.

For example, when a user registration request is received from the first terminal device 200 or the second terminal device 300, the authentication unit 120 generates an image for inputting various information included in the user information 182, displays the image on the terminal device that received the request, and acquires the user information input from the terminal device.

The authentication unit 120 authenticates the user who uses the service of the mediation system 1 based on the registered user information 182. For example, the authentication unit 120 authenticates the user at the timing when the first terminal device 200 or the second terminal device 300 receives the service use request. For example, when the usage request is received, the authentication unit 120 generates an authentication image in which authentication information such as a user ID and a password is input, displays the generated image on the terminal device that has made the request, refers to the authentication information of the user information 182 based on the input authentication information input using the displayed image, and determines whether or not to permit the use of the service based on whether or not the authentication information matching the input authentication information is stored. For example, the authentication unit 120 permits the use of the service when the authentication information matching the input authentication information is included in the user information 182, and performs a process for rejecting the use of the service or performing a new registration when the matching information is not included.

The acquisition unit 130 acquires information on the vehicle M sold by the user U1 from the first terminal device 200. The information related to the vehicle M includes, for example, at least one of a model of the vehicle M, a model of year, a travel distance, a color, a degree of trauma, a degree of soiling, and repair information of the vehicle M. The year model may be a model year model of the vehicle M, or may be a month and year (first registered month and year) in which the vehicle M is manufactured and is first registered as a new vehicle in the traffic bureau. The travel distance is the cumulative travel distance of the vehicle M. The color is, for example, the color of the vehicle M body. The color may include colors of various portions in the vehicle interior (e.g., a seat, an instrument panel, a steering wheel, etc.) in addition to the color of the vehicle M body. The degree of the external damage is, for example, an index value indicating the size and degree of the flaw when the vehicle M is viewed from the outside of the vehicle. The degree of soiling may be, for example, an index value indicating the degree of soiling of the vehicle body, an index value indicating the degree of soiling of the vehicle interior (interior, etc.), or a combination of both. The repair information is, for example, information related to the location, time, repair content, cost, and the like where the repair or modification of the vehicle M has been performed. The information related to the vehicle M may include, in addition to the above-described information, information indicating a desired selling price, information indicating whether the vehicle M is rated by the rating unit 140, and information indicating whether the rating result is provided to the user U2. The acquisition unit 130 acquires information related to the vehicle M from information input by the user U1 using the sales information input screen displayed on the first terminal device 200, for example.

The acquisition unit 130 may acquire information related to the purchase price desired for the vehicle M from the second terminal device 300 used by the user U2.

The evaluation unit 140 evaluates the vehicle M based on the information about the vehicle M acquired by the acquisition unit 130. For example, the evaluation unit 140 evaluates an index value (hereinafter, referred to as an evaluation level) indicating a level related to the value of the vehicle M. The evaluation unit 140 may determine the price of the vehicle M when evaluating the vehicle M. In this case, the rating unit 140 determines the minimum price of the vehicle M based on the rating level, for example. The price of the vehicle M assessed by the assessment unit 140 may include an amount such as an agent commission fee of the transaction agent server 100.

The evaluation unit 140 may evaluate the vehicle M when the information on the vehicle M includes information indicating that the vehicle M is evaluated by the evaluation unit 140, and may not evaluate the vehicle M when the information indicating that the vehicle M is not evaluated is included (or when the information indicating that the vehicle M is evaluated is not included). Thus, whether to evaluate the vehicle M can be set by the user U1.

The intermediating unit 150 generates intermediation information for intermediating between the user U1 and the user U2 based on one or both of the information about the vehicle M acquired by the acquisition unit 130 and the evaluation result of the vehicle evaluated by the evaluation unit 140.

The information providing unit 160 provides various information to the first terminal device 200 and the second terminal device 300. For example, the information providing unit 160 generates an image for inputting information on the vehicle M on sale, and displays the generated image on the first terminal device 200. The information providing unit 160 provides the broker information generated by the broker unit 150 to the second terminal device 300 via the network NW. The information providing unit 160 generates an image for inputting a purchase price to the second terminal device 300, and displays the generated image on the second terminal device 300.

The processing unit 170 performs processing for causing a third person to purchase the sold vehicle M based on the lowest price rated by the rating unit 140. For example, the processing unit 170 determines whether or not to make the user U2 purchase the vehicle M based on the desired purchase price from the user U2 and the minimum price of the vehicle M assessed by the assessment unit 140. Specifically, when the purchase price is desired to be less than the minimum price, the processing unit 170 determines that the vehicle M cannot be purchased, and causes the second terminal device 300 to output information indicating that the vehicle M cannot be purchased. When the desired purchase price is equal to or higher than the minimum price, the processing unit 170 determines that the vehicle M can be purchased, and performs a process related to purchasing the vehicle M based on the desired purchase price. The process related to the purchase of the vehicle M includes, for example, an accounting process of extracting a purchase amount from the bank account designated by the user U2 and remitting the extracted amount to the bank account designated by the user U1. The processing unit 170 may obtain a part of the extracted amount as the broker commission.

The processing unit 170 executes a process of purchasing the vehicle M at the lowest price rated by the rating unit 140 when the vehicle M is not purchased even after a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the vehicle M was sold by the user U1. In this case, the processing unit 170 performs processing for remitting the amount of money corresponding to the minimum price to the bank account of the user U1, for example. Details of the processing executed by the acquisition unit 130, the evaluation unit 140, the mediation unit 150, the information providing unit 160, and the processing unit 170 will be described later.

[ first terminal device, second terminal device ]

Next, the configurations of the first terminal device 200 and the second terminal device 300 will be described. Since the first terminal device 200 and the second terminal device 300 have the same or similar components, the configuration of the first terminal device 200 and the configuration of the second terminal device 300 are the same, and only the configuration of the first terminal device 200 will be described below.

Fig. 3 is a configuration diagram of the first terminal apparatus 200 according to the embodiment. The first terminal device 200 includes, for example, a terminal-side communication unit 210, an input unit 220, a display 230, a speaker 240, a microphone 250, an imaging unit 260, an application execution unit 270, an output control unit 280, and a terminal-side storage unit 290. The application execution unit 270 and the output control unit 280 are realized by executing a program (software) by a hardware processor such as a CPU. Some or all of these components may be realized by hardware (including circuit units) such as LSIs, ASICs, FPGAs, GPUs, and the like, or may be realized by cooperation of software and hardware. The program may be stored in advance in a storage device (a storage device including a non-transitory storage medium) such as an HDD or a flash memory, or may be stored in a removable storage medium (a non-transitory storage medium) such as a DVD or a CD-ROM, and may be attached to the storage device of the first terminal device 200 by being mounted in a drive device, a card slot, or the like via the storage medium.

The terminal-side storage unit 290 may be implemented by the various storage devices described above, or by an EEPROM, a ROM, a RAM, or the like. The terminal-side storage unit 290 stores, for example, a transaction intermediation application 292, a program, and other various information.

The terminal-side communication unit 210 communicates with the transaction mediation server 100 and other external devices, for example, using the network NW.

The input unit 220 receives an input from the user U1 by operating various keys, buttons, and the like, for example. The display 230 is, for example, an lcd (liquid Crystal display), an organic el (electro luminescence), or the like. The input unit 220 may be configured integrally with the display 230 as a touch panel. The display 230 displays various information in the embodiment under the control of the output control unit 280. The speaker 240 outputs a predetermined sound under the control of the output control unit 280, for example. The microphone 250 receives the input of the sound of the user U1, for example, under the control of the output control unit 280.

The imaging unit 260 is a digital camera using a solid-state imaging device (image sensor) such as a ccd (charge Coupled device) or a cmos (complementary Metal Oxide semiconductor). The image pickup unit 260 picks up an image including a predetermined region in the body or the cabin of the vehicle M to be sold, for example, by an operation of the user U1.

The application execution unit 270 is realized by executing the transaction mediation application 292 stored in the terminal-side storage unit 290. The transaction mediation application 292 is an application program that controls the output control unit 280 to output, to the user U1, an image provided from the transaction mediation server 100 on the display 230 or a sound corresponding to information provided from the transaction mediation server 100 on the speaker 240. The application execution unit 270 transmits the information input by the input unit 220 to the transaction mediation server 100 via the terminal-side communication unit 210. The transaction mediation application 292 is downloaded from an external device via the network NW, for example, and installed in the first terminal device 200.

The output control unit 280 controls the content and display mode of the image displayed on the display 230, the content and output mode of the sound output from the speaker 240, by the control of the application execution unit 270.

[ registration and evaluation of sold vehicles ]

Next, a process related to registration and evaluation of the vehicle M sold by the mediation system 1 will be specifically described. The authentication unit 120 permits the users U1 and U2 to use the mediation system 1. For example, when a sales request is received from the first terminal device 200 operated by the user U1, the information providing unit 160 generates an image for the user U1 to input sales information, and displays the generated image on the display 230 of the first terminal device 200.

Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the image IM10 displayed on the first terminal apparatus 200. The display modes such as the layout and the display content of the image IM10 are not limited to the following examples. The same applies to other examples of images to be described later. The image IM10 shown in fig. 4 includes a seller information input area a11, a selling information input area a12, a transaction information input area a13, and a switch display area a 14. In the seller information input area a11, for example, an area (e.g., a text box) where identification information (e.g., seller ID) identifying a seller can be input is displayed. The seller ID may be, for example, a user ID associated with the user U1 registered in advance in the transaction mediation server 100, or may be an ID specific to the seller. The seller information input area a11 may include an area for inputting user information such as the name of the user U1 in addition to the seller ID.

In the sales information input area a12, for example, areas in which the model, the model year, the travel distance, the color, the degree of trauma, the degree of soiling, and the presence or absence of a repair history of the vehicle M can be input are displayed as information relating to the vehicle M sold by the user U1. In the example of fig. 4, text boxes for inputting the vehicle type, the travel distance, and the color are displayed, and a combo box for selecting and inputting the year style, the degree of trauma, the degree of contamination, and the presence or absence of the repair history from the list is displayed.

In the sales information input area a12, for example, an icon IC11 for capturing and registering an image of the vehicle M by the image capturing section 260 and an icon IC12 for displaying an image for inputting a repair history may be displayed. Icons IC11 and IC12 are, for example, GUI (graphical User interface) switches. The same applies to other icons described later. When the user U1 selects the icon IC11, the application execution unit 270 activates the image pickup unit 260, displays an image indicating information prompting the vehicle M body and the vehicle interior to photograph on the display 230, and outputs a sound prompting the vehicle M body and the vehicle interior to photograph from the speaker 240.

Fig. 5 is a diagram showing an example of an image captured by the imaging unit 260. When the user U1 is presented with information prompting shooting, the user shoots a vehicle M for sale (images IM21, IM22, and the like shown in fig. 5) from a plurality of directions outside the vehicle and shoots a vehicle interior (for example, an instrument panel) (images IM23, and the like shown in fig. 5) through the imaging unit 260 of the first terminal device 200. The image may be a still picture or a moving picture. The captured image is transmitted to the transaction mediation server 100 together with other information as the information on the sold vehicle together with other information that the user U1 inputs using the respective input areas displayed on the image IM 10.

When the user U1 selects the icon IC12, the application execution unit 270 generates an image to which input of repair information is received, and displays the generated image on the display 230. The repair information includes, for example, information related to a location, a time, repair contents, and cost for repairing or modifying the vehicle M. The application execution unit 270 receives the repair information from the information input to the input area of the displayed image.

The transaction information input area a13 displays, for example, an area for accepting input of a desired selling price of the vehicle M, an area for accepting a process of selecting whether or not to rate the vehicle M by the transaction mediation server 100, and an area for accepting a process of selecting whether or not to disclose a result of the rate rated by the transaction mediation server 100 to the user U2. In the example of fig. 4, a combo box is shown that selects a desired selling price from the list, whether to rate the vehicle M, and whether to disclose the rating result to the user U2. The transaction information input area a13 may display an icon IC13, and the icon IC13 may display information related to past transaction histories of a vehicle (for example, a vehicle similar to the vehicle M) related to the vehicle M.

When the user U1 selects the icon IC13, the application execution unit 270 requests the information providing unit 160 of the transaction mediation server 100 to obtain the past transaction history based on the sold vehicle information input to the sold information input area a12, and obtains the transaction history of the vehicle similar to the vehicle M from the information providing unit 160. The similar vehicle is, for example, a vehicle in which the difference between the annual pattern, the travel distance, the degree of trauma, and the degree of soiling of the vehicle M is within a prescribed range. The application execution unit 270 then displays the acquired transaction history on the display 230. The transaction history includes, for example, vehicle information of the transaction, rating information, the exact order entry price of the purchaser, the date on which the transaction was established, and the like. Thus, the user U1 can be caused to input a more appropriate desired selling price based on the past transaction history of the vehicle similar to the vehicle M.

For example, icons IC14 and IC15 are displayed in the switch display area a 14. Icon IC14 accepts the following: the various information (including an image in the case where an image is captured) input from the seller information input area a11, the sale information input area a12, and the transaction information input area a13 is used as information on the vehicle M, and the transaction mediation server 100 executes the sale registration. The icon IC15 accepts the termination of the sales registration to the transaction mediation server 100.

When the user U1 selects the icon IC14, the application execution unit 270 transmits various information input from the seller information input area a11, the selling information input area a12, and the transaction information input area a13 to the transaction mediation server 100, and terminates the display of the image IM 10. When the icon IC15 is selected by the user U1, the application execution unit 270 terminates the display of the image IM 10.

The application execution unit 270 may notify the user U1 of information urging the user U1 to perform at least one of the input of the vehicle type, the year model, the travel distance, the color, the degree of damage and the degree of soiling, and the input of the image, when the input of at least one of the input of the vehicle type, the year model, the travel distance, the color, the degree of damage and the input of the image is not present in the sales information input area a 12. This enables the sold vehicle information to be input, and therefore, the situation in which the evaluation unit 140 cannot evaluate the sold vehicle information can be suppressed. The application execution unit 270 may notify the user U1 of information urging the user U1 to make at least one of the input of the desired selling price and the input of the party for evaluating the vehicle M, or information indicating that the vehicle M is to be evaluated forcibly, by using the output control unit 280, in the case where there is no input of at least one of the input of the desired selling price and the input of the party for evaluating the vehicle M in the transaction information input area a 13. Thus, the processing related to the transaction of the vehicle M can be executed based on the desired sale price, the rating price, and the desired purchase price.

The acquisition unit 130 of the transaction mediation server 100 acquires information about the vehicle M acquired from the first terminal device 200, adds identification information (for example, a sales ID) to the acquired information, and registers the information in the sales information DB184 of the storage unit 180.

Fig. 6 is a diagram for explaining the contents of the sales information DB 184. The sales information DB184 corresponds to the sales ID with, for example, a seller ID, sales vehicle information, transaction related information, rating information, and sales year, month, and day. The sold vehicle information includes, for example, the model of the vehicle M, the year model, the travel distance, the color, the degree of trauma, the degree of soiling, the repair history, the repair information, and the image information. The image information is one or more images captured by the first terminal apparatus 200. The transaction-related information includes, for example, information indicating a desired sale price, whether to rate disclosure, or not. The rating information includes, for example, one or both of a rating level and a rating price as a result of the rating performed by the rating unit 140.

The evaluation unit 140 refers to the item of "evaluation" of the transaction-related information of the sales information DB184, evaluates the vehicle M based on the sales vehicle information in the case where the information indicating the evaluation is stored, and does not evaluate the vehicle M in the case where the information indicating the evaluation is not stored. This can reduce the processing load as compared with the evaluation of all the sold vehicles. In the case of evaluating the vehicle M, the evaluation unit 140 performs a part or all of the processing of increasing the rating as the annual pattern is newer, increasing the rating as the travel distance is shorter, and increasing the rating as the degree of damage is smaller, for example. The evaluation unit 140 may adjust the amount of money according to the vehicle type and color. For example, in the case of a popular vehicle model or color, the evaluation level is increased compared to other vehicle models or colors. The evaluation unit 140 may evaluate the vehicle M based on the presence or absence of the repair history and the repair information. In this case, for example, the ranking unit 140 may execute, when there is a repair history, a part or all of the processing of lowering the ranking compared to the case where there is no repair history, the processing of lowering the ranking as the repair frequency is larger, the processing of lowering the ranking as the repair part is larger, and the processing of lowering the ranking compared to the inconspicuous position when the repair position is a conspicuous position.

Instead of (or in addition to) the vehicle type, the travel distance, the color, the degree of trauma, and the degree of soiling registered in the sales information DB184, the evaluation unit 140 may evaluate the vehicle M based on the analysis result of the image registered in the image information. For example, when the images IM21 to IM23 are included as the image information, the evaluation unit 140 analyzes each image and acquires feature information such as an edge region, a color, a shape, and a size in the image as a result of the analysis. Next, the evaluation unit 140 performs pattern matching between the acquired feature information and feature information for each vehicle type (for example, feature information of a vehicle in a state where no damage or contamination is present) stored in the storage unit 180 or the like in advance, and acquires information such as the vehicle type, the color, the degree of damage, and the like of the vehicle M. The evaluation unit 140 obtains the travel distance by character recognition processing or the like when the image in the vehicle interior includes a region indicating the travel distance. Thus, for example, the position and degree of the trauma S1 and the contamination D1 of the vehicle M can be acquired from the images IM21 and IM22 shown in fig. 5, and the travel distance and the contamination degree can be acquired from the image IM23, so that the vehicle M can be evaluated using the image analysis result. By performing the evaluation using the image analysis result, it is possible to perform the evaluation more appropriately without variation in evaluation for each seller. The evaluation unit 140 may acquire information related to the travel distance of the vehicle M from, for example, a management server that manages probe data (actual operation condition data) of the vehicle M connected to the network NW.

The evaluation unit 140 may update the sold vehicle information in the sold vehicle DB184 based on the image analysis result when the sold vehicle information obtained based on the image analysis result is different from the sold vehicle information input by the seller and registered in the sold vehicle DB184, or when the sold vehicle information is not registered in the sold vehicle DB 184. This makes it possible to register sold vehicle information in which there is no variation in evaluation among sellers.

The evaluation unit 140 may determine the price of the vehicle M based on the rating. In this case, the evaluation unit 140 determines the minimum price for purchasing the vehicle M (hereinafter referred to as the minimum price of the vehicle M). For example, the higher the rating, the higher the price the rating unit 140 decides. The evaluation unit 140 may determine the minimum price of the vehicle M based on the sold vehicle information. The evaluation unit 140 may determine the minimum price of the vehicle when the desired selling price is not registered in the selling information DB 184. The evaluation unit 140 registers the evaluation result in the evaluation information of the sales information DB 184.

The evaluation unit 140 may perform a process of providing the evaluation result to the first terminal apparatus 200 by the information providing unit 160. Thus, the user U1 can refer to the evaluation result to reset the desired selling price.

[ viewing and purchasing of sold vehicles ]

Next, the process related to viewing and purchasing the sold vehicle M will be specifically described. For example, when a viewing request of the sold information (for example, the sold vehicle information) is received from the second terminal device 300 by the operation of the user U2, the intermediation part 150 generates an image (an example of the intermediation information) showing a list of sold vehicles based on the sold information DB 184. The information providing unit 160 provides the image generated by the intermediation unit 150 to the second terminal device 300 that has made the viewing request.

Fig. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the image IM30 displayed on the second terminal device 300. The image IM30 includes, for example, a sold vehicle list display area a31 and a switch display area a 32. In the sold vehicle list display area a31, sold vehicle information display areas a31a, a31b, … that display sold vehicle information are displayed for each sold ID. When the sold vehicle information display area a31 displays a list of sold vehicles, the information provider 160 may display the sold vehicles in order of the time of sale from new to old or in order of old to new. When the selection condition (for example, search keyword or narrowing-down condition) for selecting the vehicle to be viewed by the user U2 is acquired from the second terminal device 300, the information providing unit 160 may refer to the sold information DB184 based on the selection condition and display the sold vehicle information matching or similar to the selection condition in descending order of the degree of matching or similarity.

In the sold vehicle information display areas a31a and a31b, for example, a sold ID, a vehicle type, a travel distance, a degree of trauma, a degree of soiling, a year style, and a color are displayed, respectively. The information providing unit 160 refers to the transaction-related information of the sold information DB184, and displays the evaluation result in the sold vehicle information display area a31 when information indicating that the evaluation result is open is included. In the example of fig. 7, the rating price is displayed as the rating result, but the rating level may be displayed instead of (or on the basis of) the rating price. The sold vehicle information display area a31 may display a desired sales price of the user U1 (seller).

In the sold vehicle information display areas a31a and a31b, an icon IC31 for accepting a display request for image information included in the sales information DB184 from the user U2 and an icon IC32 for accepting a display request for an image for which the user U2 inputs a purchase price are displayed, respectively. When the user U2 selects the icon IC31, the information providing unit 160 acquires image information from the sales information DB184 based on the sales ID associated with the icon IC31, and displays the acquired image information on the display 230 of the second terminal device 300.

When the user U2 selects the icon IC32, the intermediation part 150 generates an image including a price input area for inputting a desired purchase price of the vehicle M. The information providing unit 160 displays the generated image on the display 230 of the second terminal device 300, and receives an input of a purchase price desired by the user U2. When receiving an input of a purchase price from the user U2, the application execution unit 270 of the second terminal device 300 may control not to receive an input of a price less than the evaluation price set as the minimum price, or may display the evaluation price and cause the output control unit 280 to output information urging the input of a price equal to or more than the displayed price. The application execution unit 270 may perform the above-described processing using the desired selling price instead of (or in addition to) the rating price. In this case, the application execution unit 270 may use the price of the higher one (or the lower one) of the rated price and the desired sales price, may use the price set by the user U1 or the administrator of the transaction mediation server 100, or may use the average price of the rated price or the desired sales price. Thus, the vehicle M can be purchased in an amount equal to or more than or close to the rated price or the desired selling price. By presenting the evaluation price evaluated by a third party other than the user U1 to the user U2, more secure buying and selling can be performed based on fair monetary evaluation.

Instead of (or in addition to) the rated price or the desired selling price, the application execution unit 270 may request the information providing unit 160 of the transaction mediation server 100 to obtain the past transaction history, obtain the transaction history of the vehicle similar to the vehicle M to be purchased from the information providing unit 160, and display the obtained transaction history on the display 230.

The information providing unit 160 acquires the purchase-desiring price input from the second terminal device 300, associates the acquired purchase-desiring price with the identification information identifying the user U2, and registers the purchase-desiring price in the purchase-desiring information 186 stored in the storage unit 180.

Fig. 8 is a diagram for explaining the contents of purchase request information 186. The purchase-desiring information 186 corresponds to, for example, a predetermined purchaser ID and a purchase-desiring price with respect to the sales ID. The prospective purchaser ID may be, for example, a user ID of the user U2 or an ID specific to the purchaser. For example, when a purchase-desiring price is input from a plurality of prospective buyers for the same vehicle for sale, the purchase-desiring prices are registered in the purchase-desiring information 186. For example, in the case of an auction method in which a predetermined buyer who has publicly sold information about a vehicle and whose desired purchase price is the highest in the disclosed vehicle wins the vehicle as in an auction, the information providing unit 160 may display the current highest price among the desired purchase prices registered in the desired purchase information 186 in the sold vehicle information display area a 31. This makes it possible to input a higher desired purchase price by increasing the enthusiasm for purchasing among prospective purchasers.

The processing unit 170 determines a user U2 who purchases a vehicle for sale. For example, when the user to be sold is determined by an auction method such as auction, the processing unit 170 refers to the purchase request information 186, and determines that the user U2 who has input the highest purchase request price among the purchase request prices input during the predetermined period has purchased the vehicle M.

For example, in the case of the private transaction method in which the user U1 permits the sale at the purchase-desired price of the user U2 and the transaction of the vehicle M is established, the processing unit 170 presents information indicating the purchase-desired price input by the user U2 to the first terminal device 200 of the user U1, and determines to cause the user U2 to purchase the vehicle M at the purchase-desired price when the sale is permitted.

The processing unit 170 notifies the user U2 who has determined the purchase of the money to permit the purchase, and executes processing related to accounting procedures such as credit card settlement and money transfer to a bank. The processing unit 170 may perform processing related to a delivery method of the vehicle M and the like (for example, adjustment of a delivery location, time, and the like, arrangement of a carrier who carries the vehicle M).

When the vehicle M is not purchased after a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the vehicle M was sold by the user U1, the processing unit 170 may perform processing for allowing the management company who manages the transaction mediation server 100 or a company selected by the transaction mediation server 100 (for example, a third party such as a vehicle seller or an auction company) to purchase the vehicle M. In this case, the processing unit 170 performs an accounting process for purchasing the vehicle M at the price evaluated by the evaluation unit 140. Thus, the user U1 selling the vehicle M sells the vehicle M to the mediating system 1, so that the vehicle M can be sold even if the inter-person transaction is not established. Therefore, the transaction mediation server 100 can securely buy and sell the user U1.

When the management operator of the transaction mediation server 100 or the operator selected by the transaction mediation server 100 purchases the vehicle M, the processing unit 170 rewrites the seller ID of the sales information DB184 with the ID of the purchasing operator. Thus, the dealer who purchased the vehicle M can easily continue the sales. The processing unit 170 may perform a process of causing the purchasing dealer to change the transaction-related information associated with the purchased vehicle M. Thus, the price of the vehicle M can be set by the purchasing maker, not the selling user U1.

When the process related to the purchase is completed, the processing unit 170 registers information related to the transaction of the purchased vehicle M in the transaction history information 188 of the storage unit 180. Fig. 9 is a diagram for explaining the contents of the transaction history information 188. The transaction history information 188 includes past transaction information of the vehicle using the mediating system 1. The transaction history information 188 corresponds to the sales ID, the vehicle information, the evaluation information, the purchase price, and the transaction establishment date. The transaction vehicle information is information of a part or all of the sales vehicle information of the sales information DB 184. The transaction establishment day is, for example, a year, month and day when the purchase procedure of the vehicle M (for example, processing related to accounting for determining the purchase price, a delivery method, and the like) is completed, or a year, month and day when the vehicle M is delivered to the user U2. In the transaction history information 188, the transaction information purchased by the management business entity of the transaction mediation server 100 or the business entity selected by the transaction mediation server 100 may be excluded.

The transaction mediation server 100 can input a more appropriate desired selling price and a more appropriate desired purchasing price by managing the transaction history information 188 and presenting the transaction history to the user U1 or the user U2. When the vehicle M is evaluated, the evaluation unit 140 may use some or all of the sales vehicle information and image analysis results registered in the sales information DB184 and refers to the transaction vehicle information of the transaction history information 188 to obtain evaluation information associated with matching or similar vehicles and determine the purchase price to evaluate the vehicle M, thereby adjusting the evaluation price. The evaluation unit 140 can evaluate the vehicle M based on the transaction history information 188, thereby evaluating the vehicle M more appropriately.

Returning to fig. 7, in the switch display area a32 of the image IM30, an icon IC33 for ending the display of the image IM30 is displayed. When the icon IC33 is selected by the user U2, the application execution unit 270 terminates the display of the image IM 30.

In the above-described embodiment, the user U2 is provided with the sold vehicle information and then inputs the desired purchase price of the vehicle, but instead of (or in addition to) this, the transaction mediation server 100 may first acquire the desired purchase price, narrow the sold vehicle provided to the user U2 with reference to the sales information DB184 based on the acquired desired purchase price, and provide the narrowed-down sold vehicle to the user. In this case, when the acquisition unit 130 acquires the desired purchase price, the processing unit 170 refers to the rated price or the desired sale price of the sales information DB184 based on the desired purchase price, and narrows down the sales vehicle information in which one or both of the rated price and the desired sale price are equal to or less than the desired purchase price, thereby acquiring the sales vehicle information. Then, the processing unit 170 causes the intermediation part 150 to generate an image IM30 including the information on the vehicle to be sold in which the rating price or the desired selling price is sorted in descending order (or descending order), and provides the generated image to the second terminal device 300 to which the user U2 desiring the purchase price is inputted. In the above-mentioned shrinkage limit conditions, other conditions such as vehicle type, color, degree of trauma, degree of injury, and the like may be included. Thus, the transaction mediation server 100 can provide the vehicle matching the purchase-desired price in response to the intention of the user U2.

[ treatment procedure ]

Next, an example of the flow of processing executed by the transaction mediation server 100 will be described. The processing performed by the transaction mediation server 100 includes processing related to registration and evaluation of a sold vehicle (first processing), and processing related to provision and purchase of sold vehicle information (second processing). Therefore, the first process and the second process will be separately described below. The first terminal device 200 and the second terminal device 300 are permitted to access the transaction mediation server 100 by the authentication process of the users U1 and U2.

Fig. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of the first process executed by the transaction mediation server 100. Regarding the first process, for example, the transaction mediation server 100 provides the first terminal device 200 with the image IM10 for inputting the information about the sold vehicle, and the first process is executed at the timing of receiving the information about the sold vehicle inputted using the image IM 10. In the example of fig. 10, first, the acquisition unit 130 acquires information on a vehicle to be sold from the first terminal device 200 operated by the user U1 (step S100), and registers the acquired information in the sales information DB184 (step S102). Next, the evaluation unit 140 determines whether or not to evaluate the vehicle based on the information on the sold vehicle acquired by the acquisition unit 130 (step S104). If it is determined that the vehicle is to be assessed, the assessment unit 140 determines whether or not predetermined sold vehicle information (for example, color, degree of trauma, degree of soiling) is included in the information relating to the sold vehicle (step S106). When it is determined that the predetermined sold vehicle information is not included, the evaluation unit 140 generates the predetermined sold vehicle information using image information obtained by imaging the sold vehicle included in the information on the sold vehicle (step S108). In the processing of step S108, the evaluation unit 140 may update the information registered in the sales information DB184 by using the generated predetermined sold vehicle information.

When it is determined that the predetermined sold vehicle information is included in the processing of step S106 or after the processing of step S108, the evaluation unit 140 evaluates the vehicle based on the sold vehicle information (step S110) and registers the evaluation information in the sold information DB (step S112). This completes the processing of the flowchart. If it is determined in the process of step S104 that the vehicle is not to be evaluated, the process of the present flowchart is ended.

Fig. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of the second process executed by the transaction mediation server 100. The second process is repeatedly executed at predetermined timing or cycle, for example. In the example of fig. 11, first, the information providing unit 160 determines whether or not to provide the information on the sold vehicle based on a viewing request from the second terminal device 300 operated by the user U2 or the like (step S200). If it is determined that the sold-vehicle information is provided, the information providing unit 160 determines whether or not the rating information is provided to the user U2 (step S202). If it is determined that the rating information is provided, the intermediation part 150 generates intermediation information including the rating information and the sold vehicle information (step S204). If it is determined that the rating information is not provided, the intermediation part 150 generates intermediation information based on the sold vehicle information (step S206). Next, the information providing unit 160 provides the broker information to the second terminal device 300 of the user U2 who has made the viewing request (step S208).

Next, the intermediation part 150 determines whether or not the purchase-desired price is received from the second terminal device 300 of the user U2 (step S210). When it is determined that the purchase-desired price is received, the intermediation part 150 causes the information providing part 160 to provide information indicating the purchase-desired price to the first terminal device 200 of the seller (user U1) (step S212). Next, the mediation section 150 determines whether or not the sales permission is received from the first terminal device 200 (step S214). If it is determined that the license for sale has not been accepted, the processing unit 170 determines whether or not a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the user U1 sold the vehicle (step S216). If it is determined in the process of step S200 that the sold vehicle information is not provided or if it is determined in the process of step S210 that the purchase price is not accepted, the process of step S216 is also performed. If it is determined in the process of step S216 that the predetermined period has elapsed since the sale, the processing unit 170 executes a process for causing a management company or a predetermined company (for example, a vehicle sales company or an auction company) of the transaction mediation server 100 to purchase a vehicle at the rated price (step S218).

After the process of step S218 or when it is determined that the permission for the sale is received in step S214, the processing unit 170 executes an acquisition process for the purchaser (user U2, a management dealer, or another predetermined dealer) (step S220). The purchase processing in step S220 includes, for example, an accounting related to purchase of a sold vehicle and a series of processing related to delivery of a sold vehicle. Next, the processing unit 170 registers information related to the transaction of the sold vehicle in the transaction history information 188 (step S222). This completes the processing of the flowchart. If it is determined in the process of step S216 that the predetermined period has not elapsed since the sale, the process of the present flowchart ends.

In the process of step S204, the intermediation part 150 may generate the intermediation information using only the rating information instead of the sold vehicle information and the rating information. The intermediation unit 150 may generate intermediation information obtained based on the sold vehicle information and intermediation information obtained based on the evaluation information, respectively, and provide each of the intermediation information in stages. In the process of step S214, when the purchase price is not permitted to the sales, the information providing unit 160 may provide the second terminal device 300 with information indicating that the sales is not permitted and information urging adjustment of the purchase price. In this case, the processing unit 170 performs the processing from step S212 onward when the adjusted desired purchase price is received.

In the second process described above, an auction method such as auction may be used instead of the process related to the inter-individual transaction method. In this case, the processing unit 170 causes the user U2 who indicates the highest purchase price among the plurality of purchase prices received in the predetermined period to purchase the vehicle for sale. The processing unit 170 may be configured to cause the user U2 who is presented with the desired price or the rated price that exceeds the desired price specified by the user U1 to purchase the vehicle. The method of purchase may be determined for each vehicle sold, may be specified by the server manager, or may be specified by the user U1.

According to the embodiment described above, the transaction mediation server 100 includes: an acquisition unit 130 that acquires information relating to a vehicle M sold by a user (seller U1); an evaluation unit 140 that evaluates the vehicle M based on the information about the vehicle M acquired by the acquisition unit 130; an intermediating part 150 that generates intermediation information for intermediating between the seller and a prospective purchaser who is prospective to purchase the vehicle M, based on one or both of the information related to the vehicle M acquired by the acquisition part 130 and the evaluation result of the vehicle M evaluated by the evaluation part 140; and an information providing unit 160 that provides the broker information generated by the broker unit 150, thereby enabling trading at a more appropriate price.

Specifically, according to the embodiment, for example, in the case of buying and selling between individuals, there is anxiety about the quality and state of the sold vehicle as the purchaser, but the value of the sold vehicle is evaluated by the transaction mediation server 100, and the anxiety can be alleviated. According to the embodiment, the transaction mediation server 100 evaluates based on the sold vehicle information in which the value of the vehicle is quantified, and thus can conduct more secure buying and selling based on the evaluation result. According to the embodiment, the evaluation result includes monetary evaluation such as a minimum price, and thus more secure buying and selling can be performed based on objectivity values. According to the embodiment, when the vehicle for sale is not purchased for a predetermined period or more, the vehicle for sale is purchased by the dealer, and therefore the dealer can be confident to buy and sell the vehicle.

According to the embodiment, the transaction mediation server 100 provides the past transaction history to the seller and the prospective buyer, whereby the seller can study selling and a prospective selling price with reference to the past transaction information (market conditions), and the prospective buyer can set the prospective purchasing price. According to the embodiment, the minimum price of the vehicle is determined when the user U1 does not input the desired selling price, thereby reducing the time and effort of price setting of the user.
