DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic trading system in the housing industry, and more particularly, to a homepage published by an operating company in which a plurality of companies in each business are registered, a customer designs while receiving a free design advice service. The present invention relates to an electronic trading system in the housing industry, which can further perform construction.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a customer (a person who wants to build a house)
In order to start building a house, a contractor or house maker is selected based on advertisements, personal connections, etc., and construction construction is requested. In some cases, a customer may purchase a building that has been constructed in a mass production form by a construction company or a house maker. Further, there is also a request type in which a house maker is requested to perform design and construction, a slight design change is made to a design prepared in advance, and construction is performed by the maker.

[0003] When selecting a construction shop or a house maker, customers often visit a house exhibition hall. In the housing exhibition hall, the building properties of each construction maker are actually lined up, and you can enter each building property, see the windows, and check the performance and interior characteristics of the floors and walls. In the housing exhibition hall, sales representatives of each manufacturer are resident, and provide customer services such as immediate consultation for quotes and reception of designs in response to customer requests.

[0004] As a result, the customer can easily compare each manufacturer at the home exhibition hall. The presence of competitors on the same premises also makes it easier for each manufacturer to capture trends in other companies and customer needs, and to activate customer service.

[0005]

As described above, when selecting a construction company or a house maker based on advertisements and personal connections, and requesting construction, it is necessary to obtain a building property that reflects the wishes of the customer. However, on the other hand, the property price is very expensive, partly due to the cost such as time and labor cost.

[0006] Further, when a customer purchases a building article constructed in a mass production form by a construction company or a house maker, the property price is lower than in the case of the previous example, but the customer desires. There is an inconvenience that it is not possible to respond to all.

[0007] The same applies to a request type in which a customer requests a house maker for design and construction, makes some design changes to a design prepared in advance, and performs construction under the maker's initiative. In this case, the price of the property will be low, but if there is no design or design that originally sought, a substitute that is close to the desired design or design will be used, and The request could not be fully satisfied.

[0008] The installation of a house exhibition hall has a wider range of choices for each manufacturer for the customer, and by actually seeing the property, the awareness of the architectural design increases. This is often done directly many times, and both the customer and the manufacturer spend a lot of time together.

[0009] The home exhibition hall is a market where each manufacturer can easily obtain customers, but the cost of maintaining and operating the house is extremely high. Due to the maintenance costs of the place (land), the construction cost of the property, the maintenance cost of the property, etc.
There are some disadvantages from the viewpoint of the cost recovery rate for contracts with customers at the exhibition hall.

[0010] In addition, a customer who can go to a house exhibition hall is determined by geographical conditions such as a case where he wants to build near the house exhibition hall or a case where he lives near the house exhibition hall. Therefore, it is difficult for manufacturers to expand the market beyond a certain level. For this reason, housing exhibition halls are set up in various places, but as a result, as described above, high costs are incurred.

[0011] Although it is possible for a customer to compare manufacturers at a home exhibition hall, it is not easy to combine components from different manufacturers. For example, if you want a type of house that combines the interior of Company A and the structure of Company B, such planning is extremely difficult because the construction methods, interior furniture, and fixtures used by each company are different. This is because of the difficulty.

[0012] Conventionally, each house maker has established a building system unique to the maker by fixing a partner member maker and a distribution department, thereby suppressing distribution costs and production costs.

[0013] In such a system, customer demands and
When the architectural specifications differ greatly from the preset architectural specifications, even if it is desired to perform planning that satisfies the needs of the customer, it is unexpected, and there is an inconvenience that the building cannot be performed or the cost for the building is high.

According to the present invention, even if a customer does not actually go to an installation facility such as a housing exhibition hall, he / she compares and examines various manufacturers related to architecture, and freely selects a layout, interior, structure and the like desired by the customer.

According to the present invention, a customer can select and determine an organizational department requesting construction and design from a group of organizations belonging to various departments related to architecture, based on his / her wish. It is an object of the present invention to provide a relatively low-priced house by a housing industry system in which a desired interior design, housing equipment, and the like can be freely combined and selected.

In the present invention, not only a design group from a construction company but also a design group from an independent design office freely participates in the design department, thereby increasing the range of choice of design groups for customers. It aims to provide an electronic trading system in the housing industry that can.

Further, the present invention allows a house maker to perform construction work from interior to exterior interior construction work by directly sending building materials and the like from a distribution center to a construction site, thereby reducing labor costs, reducing the number of distribution processes, and improving distribution. It is an object of the present invention to provide an electronic trading system for the housing industry that can achieve a reduction in process costs and, as a result, can reduce the price of a building construction property.

In addition, by arranging the design groups in accordance with the construction site of the customer, it is possible to accurately provide design advice in consideration of the geographical background of each customer. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an electronic trading system in the housing industry that can quickly and accurately supply construction materials in consideration of the geographical background of each customer by arranging distribution centers corresponding to the planned locations.

Customer 2 has the right to choose.

When the design is completed, the customer 2 selects the construction house maker 4. At the stage when the contract is made, the house maker 4 places an order for each building material, equipment, etc. with the sponsoring company including the construction-related group 6. Each manufacturer of the construction-related group 6 receiving the order delivers the building materials to the distribution center 5. The delivery center 5 delivers building materials to the construction site according to the construction period.

[0140] The distribution center 5 receives order data from the house maker 4 to sequentially arrange delivery, and directly sends construction materials to the building site. To send construction materials directly,
It is possible to reduce the accumulation of extra materials and waste such as packing materials at the construction site.

Further, in addition to the construction materials necessary for construction, it is possible to deliver interior-related materials such as interiors and interiors. The house maker 4 performs a series of operations up to the work of interior decoration and the like, so that the efficiency of a series of construction processes can be improved.

The house maker 4 meets with the customer 2 to create a process chart and the like, and performs the construction while exchanging information with each construction-related group 6. From design to construction, a series of work histories is converted into data, and by accumulating these data, it is possible to link to the extension or renovation of a building. Therefore, the company can improve the lifetime value of the customer 2 enclosed by each company.

[0143] A survey on the construction property is also performed. In the investigation, a performance investigation company is requested to conduct the investigation, and the investigation result is reported to the customer 2 and the house maker 4. In addition, the results of the survey will be made public on the website under a registered name. This survey result is important reference data for another customer 2 for future design and construction.

In this system, the existing building system,
That is, even if all the departments in the housing industry that exist off-line without passing through the communication network I set up an electronic trading market on the network via the communication network I, all the conventional operations and functions are maintained. A series of building processes from design to construction, property delivery, mortgage and non-life insurance can be performed based on electronic information. Also, in the system of this example, construction-related companies that had to compete with each other in the past dare to build an inter-company network (extranet) and operate the system to share information with each other and Since it is configured to perform business, it is possible to expect an increase in sales of the entire housing industry due to a synergistic effect.

Next, FIG. 12 shows a work flowchart in the present system. Introduction system operating company 1
Thus, a home page for the customer 2 to participate and perform the design is disclosed. In step S1, a home page released by the system operating company 1 is presented to the customer 2.

This homepage has a membership system.
Therefore, it is determined whether or not the request is for re-designing by accessing the homepage (step S2). When it is determined that the customer 2 performs the design by re-request (step S
2; Yes), number authentication is performed using the registered password input by the customer 2 (step S3).

When it is determined that the customer 2 has made an initial access (step S2; No), a question form page prepared on a homepage in advance is transmitted to the customer 2. Then, the page in which the answer to the question is input by the customer 2 is transmitted to the system operating company 1. The transmitted customer information 7 is registered in a database installed in the host computer of the system operating company 1 (step S).
4). At this time, the personal identification number of the customer 2 is set, and the personal identification number is notified to the customer 2 (step S5).

Next, design planning of the customer 2 registered in the system and its modification are performed. The master file (D1) installed in the host computer of the system operating company stores the shared information 9 such as the basic design plan and the manufacturer information, and the shared information 9 is disclosed to the customer 2. .

The customer 2 performs design planning and modification based on the shared information 9 that has been made public, and the information is transmitted to the system operating company 1 (step S6).
In this process, when a question is input and transmitted from the customer 2, advice is returned from the commentator of each manufacturer. The design is performed by repeatedly asking questions and advice as described above (Step S).
7).

The design planning and its modification, as well as questions and advices that are repeated, are performed by a free design advice service. As a result, if a satisfactory design is obtained for the customer 2, the customer 2 determines whether or not to make a contract.

In step S8, it is determined whether it is determined that the design and construction are performed (step S8). The design and construction refers to a construction procedure in which a house maker 4 is first designated by a customer 2 and a designer 3 belonging to the house maker 4 performs a design. When it is determined that the design and construction is performed (Step S8; Yes), the house maker 4 designated by the customer 2 is confirmed, and the fact is notified to the house maker 4 (Step S9). further,
A design request is notified to the designer 3 belonging to the house maker 4 (step S10).

On the other hand, when the design and construction are not performed (step S
8; No), that is, when the companies requesting the design and the construction are different, first, the request of the actual design is notified to the desired designer 3 of the customer 2 (step S13). Next, a request for construction is notified to the desired house maker 4 of the customer 2 (step S14). Further, contract processing is performed in step S11.

Next, a revolution in the construction process obtained by the system operation, that is, a special effect obtained by the system of this example will be described based on the system operation schematic diagram of FIG. The main steps in the operation of the system in this example include at least each of a selection step 130, a design step 131, a distribution step 132, a construction step 133, and a product development step 134. Various technologies accumulated up to the product development step 134 are all digitized and accumulated in system information. This technical information is fed back to the selection step 130.

The effect obtained in the selection step 130 is that the free design advice service using the communication network I gives the customer 2 the right to select the design and construction request destination. The customer 2 can determine a plan and a design while receiving advice from a design office or a construction company free of charge. Further, from the advice, a design office or a construction company to which design and construction are requested is selected. As a result, the customer 2 can obtain a design plan with a high degree of satisfaction, and for the construction company or the design office, the contract closing rate at which the contract is concluded from the design plan stage is improved, and the design can be performed at low cost. it can.

The effect obtained in the design step 131 is as follows.
