From the borrowing hope list page, select the relevant work (check box), click the "accept borrowing" button, display the acceptance information confirmation page, and click the "application" button to confirm your intention to apply for borrowing The display is transmitted to the mediation terminal device 2. Acceptance data is added to the user individual log 1, and a lending flag is set for the corresponding work data in the registered work log. Also, a borrowing acceptance message is transmitted from the seller terminal device 1 to the mediation terminal device 2 and the buyer terminal device 3 of the buyer who has requested borrowing (FIG. 7).

After the above-mentioned work lending confirmation procedure is completed, the work owner (seller) deposits the work with the broker, and the work is once lent to the seller through the broker. After confirming the submitted work, if the negotiations are not completed, the work will be returned to the owner of the work again through an intermediary, and the rental flag attached to the corresponding work data in the registered work log will be Deleted.

When the negotiation is concluded, the process directly proceeds to the work purchase procedure. FIG. 9 shows an example of a workflow up to the purchase of a work. The purchaser who has confirmed the purchase intention accesses the detail page of the owned work on the Internet by operating the buyer terminal device 3, and compares the user information corresponding to the seller in the user list log with the corresponding work data in the registered work log. And take the final confirmation. If there is no problem, a detail page of the work to be purchased is generated and displayed by adding a “purchase request” button, and an intention to purchase the work is transmitted to the mediation terminal device 2 by clicking the “purchase request” button. Purchase desired data is added to the user individual log 1, and a purchase desired data flag is set in the corresponding work data in the registered work log. Further, a purchase application message is transmitted from the buyer terminal device 3 to the mediation terminal device 2 and the seller terminal device 1.

After confirming the purchase decision message from the buyer terminal device, the broker pays the work to the owner of the work (seller), and the buyer pays the brokerage fee and the work to the broker. By this, the work sale procedure is completed.

Next, another system for promoting the distribution of art works according to the present invention will be described. The art distribution promotion system according to the second embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 10 includes, as desired condition data, various conditions relating to the art desired to be purchased transmitted from the buyer terminal device 3 as the desired condition data.
The shared art work data stored in the mediation terminal device 2 are compared with each other, and the corresponding art work data that satisfies the desired condition data is selected from the shared stock work data, and the selected art work data is selected by the buyer terminal device. It is characterized in that it is transmitted, and since it is exactly the same as the art distribution promotion system of the first embodiment except for this point, only the differences will be described.

The buyer trader transmits various conditions such as the writer's name, size, technique, price, etc. as desired condition data from the buyer terminal device 3 to the mediation terminal device 2 with respect to the artwork desired to be loaned and / or purchased. The desired condition data is stored in the user individual log 2 of the mediation terminal device 2.

The mediation terminal device 2 compares the desired condition data of the user individual log 2 with the shared stock work data of the registered work log, selects a work that satisfies the condition, generates a corresponding work list page, and generates the corresponding work list page. It transmits to the terminal device 3. The corresponding work list page is displayed on the display device of the buyer terminal device 3. Even if there is no corresponding work, the buyer terminal device 3 is notified as soon as a work that matches the conditions is registered in the registered work log. Therefore, even if a desired work cannot be found in the registered work log at this stage, the work information can be obtained as soon as the relevant work is registered in the registered work log.

For example, when a buyer who is looking for a Chagall work inputs “chagall” in the column of the writer on the search request page through the buyer terminal device 3, the data of the corresponding stock work is read from the registered work log. Then, the corresponding work list is created and displayed on the display device of the buyer terminal device 3. Also, when the work is registered in the registered work log,
The work data is transmitted from the mediation terminal device 2 to the buyer terminal device 3.

The second embodiment is completely the same as the first embodiment with respect to the work borrowing system / purchase system.
