Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a virtual house display space and a house display method developed on a network.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A house such as a detached house is constructed by a consumer requesting an order from a construction company or a house maker. Each of the major manufacturers intends to aggressively expand their business,
The company has set up a housing exhibition hall to actually display the model houses to promote its products and raise awareness among consumers. It is costly to build such a home exhibition hall and to perform extensive advertising activities in various media such as newspaper advertisements and flyers. For this reason, sales promotion activities can only be performed by:
Limited to large capitalized manufacturers.

On the other hand, there are many small and medium-sized construction shops and design offices that do not have such sales force. Smaller builders and carpenters do not have the opportunity to be seen by the general consumer, and many rely on word-of-mouth and reputation to receive orders.

[0004] The presence or absence of such operating expenses is reflected in the commodity price. In general, the prices of houses sold by major manufacturers are high, and according to one theory, it is said to be about twice as expensive as small and medium construction firms. In other words, small and medium-sized construction firms can keep prices lower because they do not involve operating expenses, labor costs, or intermediate margins.

[0005]

However, as described above, since small and medium-sized construction companies do not have the sales force, it is not possible to appeal to ordinary consumers that construction works such as housing and renovation can be provided at a low price. Was. Some micro-enterprises and carpenters in many regions have high technical capabilities and have unique products not found in other companies or major companies.

[0006] On the other hand, there is also a demand for consumers to obtain cheap and high quality housing products. Especially in Japan, the cost of land is still expensive due to the inherent shortage of land, so there are many rented houses. However, there is still a demand that if the construction cost is appropriate, the owner would like to own a house. Accordingly, consumers are demanding information on construction shops that can provide housing products and services at low prices, and there is a need for a place that links such demands on the consumer side with construction firms with weak sales capabilities.

[0007] In addition, new construction or renovation of a house is generally considered to be expensive, so there is an image that the threshold of the housing market is relatively high. If consumers can provide inquiries easily, request a quote from each company, and provide a service that can easily compare the offered prices of multiple construction companies,
It can be expected to lower the threshold for housing products, attract consumers, and seek out potential demand.

On the other hand, even for a major manufacturer, the construction of a housing exhibition hall took considerable cost. The days, materials, land, and labor required to secure the space for the exhibition hall and build the model house will be a heavy burden. In addition, it costs a lot of expenses for advertising and maintaining the housing exhibition. There are often various events such as holding. In addition to these, business expenses are also required. If the costs required for the preparation and operation of the housing exhibition hall can be reduced, it is expected that the product prices will be reduced.

The present invention has been developed to solve the above problems. A first object of the present invention is to minimize the costs of housing exhibition hall construction, operating expenses, and intermediate margins, and to make it possible for companies without capital to appeal their products to users, and to provide users with inexpensive, high-quality houses. An object of the present invention is to provide a virtual house exhibition space and a house display method to be provided.

[0010] On the other hand, there is a problem that the estimate of the house price is vague and the details are difficult to understand. Conventionally, house prices were estimated at only tsubo and tens of millions of yen, and only information about the final price and area was presented, and consumers could not know details such as where and how much it took. For this reason, there is a tendency to compare and judge based only on the final price of the quote, and even if you request a quote from multiple vendors, it is difficult to see specific differentiated parts such as differences in characteristics and specifications, and only vague comparisons can be made It was a situation. In general, consumers who purchase products are required to know the details and specifications of the products they want to purchase in detail, especially for high-priced products that are used over a long period of time, such as housing products. There is a request to do it carefully.

The present invention has been developed to solve such a problem. A second object of the present invention is to provide a virtual house exhibition space and a house display capable of displaying details such as which part of a product desired to be quoted at the time of issuance of a product quote so that the user can confirm the details. It is to provide a method.

[0012]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a virtual house exhibition hall.
This is a virtual home exhibition space where multiple providers providing architectural goods and services via network-connected computers participate and disclose information on the goods and services provided by each provider to users who access the network. . This virtual house exhibition hall presents storage means for registering and storing information on merchandise services provided by the merchandise service provider for each provider, including price information, and a user accessing the network via a computer. Input means for allowing a user to input a condition relating to a building product service; and a product service item meeting the condition is extracted from the information registered in the storage means according to the condition presented by the user input by the input means. And calculating means for summing the extracted prices of the product services for each product service provider, and extracting and sorting the estimated amount for each product service provider calculated by the calculating means based on predetermined conditions. Display means for displaying in a list format. The user is configured to be able to compare and review the merchandise services provided by each provider based on the results displayed in the list.

The sorting is performed based on, for example, the estimated amount, and the list is displayed in order of price. In addition, the supply destination of the product service provider may be in the order of proximity to the planned location of the house. Further, the display by the display means includes displaying the list on the user's computer screen and sending the result to the user's computer by e-mail.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in addition to the features described in the first aspect, the product service is a product or service relating to new construction or remodeling of a house. The computer connected to the network is a computer connected to the Internet. Further, the virtual house exhibition hall is set up on a homepage of the Internet, a user accesses the homepage of the virtual house exhibition hall through a predetermined authentication operation, and the input means inputs information on the location of the house product. It is characterized by seeking.

The conditions relating to the location of the house product include various conditions such as land area, location conditions, and sunshine.

[0016] Furthermore, in addition to the features described in the first or second aspect, the virtual house exhibition hall according to a third aspect of the present invention is a system in which the user configures a plurality of constituent elements constituting a desired product service. It is characterized in that it has a function of designating a commodity service, and confirming the total amount thereof on the display means, and also having the function of displaying the respective amounts on the display means for the commodity service of the component.

The user can switch between the total display of the estimated amounts and the detailed display for displaying the amounts of the respective elements, or simultaneously check them. In addition, the user specifies the amount when specifying the conditions of the custom-built house, extracts from the database the service providers that can receive orders within this amount, and displays the amount and the provider name as a search result Is also possible.

Further, in the virtual house display method according to the fourth aspect of the present invention, a plurality of providers who provide architectural goods and services via a network-connected computer participated and accessed the network. This is a virtual house display method for disclosing information on a product service provided by each provider to a user. In this virtual house display method, a user specifies a specification of a custom house from a computer accessible to a network, and a step of searching a database of pre-registered product services for a product service that matches the specification specified by the user. And a step of summing up the prices of the searched goods and services, a step of extracting and sorting the summed prices based on predetermined conditions, and a step of displaying a list of the extracted search results on a user's computer screen. .

Here, the sorting is also performed based on, for example, the estimated amount, and a list is displayed in order of price. In addition, the supply destination of the product service provider may be in the order of proximity to the planned location of the house.

Furthermore, in the virtual house exhibition method according to the fifth aspect of the present invention, a plurality of providers who provide architectural goods and services via a network-connected computer participated and accessed the network. This is a virtual house display method for disclosing information on a product service provided by each provider to a user. According to this virtual house display method, a step of selecting one or more service providers of goods, a step of specifying specifications of a custom-built house from a computer accessible to a user by a network, and a service of the selected goods service are provided. The process of searching for a product service that matches the specifications specified by the user from a database in which the product services are registered in advance, and the sum of the prices of the product services that match the specifications specified by the user for each selected product service provider And a step of extracting and sorting the combined prices based on predetermined conditions and displaying a list on a user's computer screen for each product service provider.

The provider of the product service can be selected by the user by specifying a desired provider or by excluding a specific provider. Alternatively, the virtual house exhibitor side can extract and select a provider that can receive an order based on the conditions specified by the user. For example, the range in which the provider can receive an order is specified according to the construction technology, the field, the region where the order can be received, the type of the material that can be provided, and the like.

Furthermore, in the virtual house display method according to the sixth aspect of the present invention, in addition to the features described in the fifth or sixth aspect, when the user specifies the condition of the custom-built house, the user can specify the amount of money. The present invention is characterized in that providers of designated goods services that can be ordered within the range of the amount are extracted from the database, and the amount and the provider name are displayed as a search result.

By using this method, it is possible to select a provider that meets the desired amount and conditions of the user as a method of recruiting and bidding for a contractable commodity service provider within a specified amount of money. . If there is no provider that matches the conditions, the user can set the amount and conditions again and search. This makes it possible to grasp a reasonable amount of money that meets the conditions.

The virtual house exhibition hall and the house display method of the present invention are set up in a virtual space connected to a network, and are used for browsing and estimating not only so-called built-for-sale houses but also custom-built houses specified by a user. Requests and construction orders can be made. A provider of construction-related merchandise services, such as a construction company or a manufacturer, registers information such as prices of merchandise services to be handled in a database in advance so that information can be searched and extracted. The user selects the desired house specification and product combination and sends it to the computer of the server that runs the virtual house exhibition hall. The server computer selects from among the conditions registered in advance by the trader the one that meets the conditions specified by the user and selects the trader who can receive the order, and based on the registration information of the selected trader, The company calculates the estimated amount of how much the company can provide for the specifications specified by the user for each company. The server calculates and sorts the estimated price of each company, and displays the list of results at the virtual house exhibition hall so that the user can check it on the computer screen.

In other words, a bidding system can be set up between providers who can provide services to the specifications required by the user, and the user can request the estimated amount from each company and compare the estimation results. By competing vendors with price competition, there is an advantage that users can sign advantageous contracts. On the other hand, since the trader can also directly deal with the user, it is possible to reduce costs for advertisements and the like, and to provide the product at a reduced price by eliminating the intermediate margin. In particular,
For small and medium-sized construction companies without sales capabilities, business opportunities can be expanded because they can compete at the same spot as major housing manufacturers.
Increasing the number of entrants is also an advantage for users with more choices. In addition, since the user can easily request a quotation, the exchange between the user and the trader becomes active, and the effect of opening the housing-related market to more users and traders and expanding the market is expected.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. However, the embodiment described below exemplifies a virtual house exhibition hall and a house display method for embodying the technical idea of the present invention, and the present invention describes the virtual house exhibition hall and the house display method below. Not specific to

Further, in this specification, in order to make it easy to understand the claims, the numbers corresponding to the members described in the embodiments are assigned to the members indicated in the column of "Means for Solving the Problems". It has been added. However, the members described in the claims are not limited to the members of the embodiments.

The drawings illustrating the embodiments of the present invention include portions exaggerated for the sake of explanation, and therefore, the drawings should accurately represent actual positional relationships, distances, sizes, and the like. Do not always match.

In this specification, the computer is not limited to a desktop type, notebook type, or palm top type so-called personal computer, but includes a recording medium including an information terminal such as a dedicated terminal connected to a server, a PDA, and a mobile phone. Or a stand-alone device that can access the network or connect to the network when necessary. Also, it is not limited to general-purpose devices, but also includes special-purpose devices.

In this specification, a user is a contractor who has received a construction request from a consumer, such as a design office, a contractor, a carpenter including a private company, or a house that can be directly sold or directly dealt with general consumers. , Building material manufacturers, and subcontractors who have received orders from them. further,
This includes consumers who want to get information on product services. In addition, as a provider of product services, in addition to building material manufacturers and contractors, construction companies and design offices that can provide materials and services such as housing construction are included. In this specification, a product service provider may be simply referred to as a trader.

The virtual home exhibition hall and the home exhibition method of the present invention are established and operated in a virtual space connected to a network. For those who access it, it appears to have been established on the so-called Internet homepage. However, the network is not limited to a globally connected network, but may be a network uniquely configured with, for example, a BBS connected via a specific telephone line or a dedicated line.

FIG. 1 conceptually shows a system constituting a virtual house exhibition hall according to an embodiment of the present invention. The virtual house exhibition hall shown in this figure is established on a homepage 1 constructed on the Internet. A network system is configured on the home page 1 where a user or a service provider can exchange information from the computer 2 via the server 3. The user uses his / her computer 2A to access a homepage via a telephone line or the like, and enjoys a search function provided by the server 3, provision of product information, bidding, price comparison, and other services. On the other hand, the trader provides information on products and services provided by the company to the user via the server 3.

The homepage establisher who establishes the homepage of the virtual house exhibition hall builds the server 3 so that various services can be provided. The dedicated server 3 and the homepage 1 are set up by the creator of the virtual house exhibition hall or a company that receives the request. For example, the homepage 1 is provided with a function of performing an authentication operation to grant an access right, a function of searching for a product based on a user's specification, and a function of managing user access information and customer information.
These functions can be performed by a server as a merit of a computer system connected to a network, or can be performed by a computer located elsewhere based on information transmitted from the server.

The server 3 has a database 4 for registering information on users and traders. The computer and the recording medium constituting the database 4 may be used together with the server 3 or may be separately provided as shown in the figure. Information on products and services provided to the user is registered in the database 4 in advance. Registration is basically on the trader side,
That is, it is performed by each building material maker or its agent that provides products and services, a construction company that provides the product service, a design office, or a person entrusted with it. However, in consideration of the burden of processing capacity for registering a huge amount of information, the virtual house exhibition hall opener or the person entrusted by the virtual house exhibitor can enter information on behalf of the company based on the materials provided by the trader. May be. Alternatively, as will be described later, a maker that manufactures products can also register all at once.

[Registration of trader] As for the registration information, each trader registers the information on a homepage in advance. A company who wants to register information connects to the Internet through a dial-up connection using a general public telephone line or a dedicated line connection via a LAN, and accesses a homepage at a predetermined address. The access may be made directly by the trader using his / her own computer 2B, or the creator of the virtual house exhibition hall may prepare a dedicated terminal and allow access from there. This method is used in a form in which a showroom of a virtual house exhibition hall is provided, and a user or a trader accesses from a computer or other terminal installed in the showroom.

FIG. 2 shows a computer screen in a state where a trader is connected to a dedicated homepage via a communication line. A login screen for authenticating the registered user appears, and a user name input box 5 and a password input box 6 prompt the user to input a user name and a password. The registered users referred to here include users and traders.

The access right is given to the user in the form of a desired company user name (ID) and password, for example.
By saving this information on the user's computer using a cookie (Cookie), it is possible to save the trouble of inputting authentication information every time access is made.

When accessing for the first time, registration is first performed as a registered user of the trader. In FIG. 2, when the "Click here to register a maker" button 8 is clicked with a mouse,
A trader information registration screen as shown in FIG. 3 appears. For registration, access information is given after inputting information about the company and undergoing a predetermined examination. Information about the company includes, for example, company name, person in charge, company size and form, type of business, contact address,
Enter a telephone number, fax number, e-mail address, etc. The input information is registered in a database and managed as registered company information. In addition, a user name and a password to be entered at the time of access are designated, and at the next login, these user names and passwords are entered to perform authentication. Such data input and transmission can be easily realized using a CGI such as perl. Of course, it is also possible to separately adopt or use an existing registration method, for example, facsimile or mail application.

[Registration of Information] The logged-in trader registers the information of the company's products on the homepage. When a "product / service registration" button 10 is pressed in FIG. 3, the screen jumps to a product information registration screen as shown in FIG. For example, product category, product name, model number, size, material, color, shape, specifications, price, construction period, construction cost, introduction of simple functions and features, information expiration date, keywords to be searched by keyword search Register settings, etc. Regarding the price, a limit price that can be discounted when competing at the time of bidding can be registered separately from the suggested retail price normally displayed.

The data of the registered merchandise may be transferred from the trader to the server in a file. For example, image information such as a photograph of the appearance of a product is created in advance in a file of a predetermined size, the number of pixels, the number of colors, an image format, and a compression format, and uploaded. For uploading, an ftp function may be provided in the homepage, or may be uploaded to a predetermined address using ftp software used by the user. In addition to image data such as product photos,
Upload CAD data such as a plan view of the product.
The type of the data file to be transferred is specified in a “data type” selection box 11. By pressing the select button 12,
Since the options are displayed by a pull-down menu, a data type such as “image data (gif)” or “CAD data (DXF)” is selected from among the options. Similarly,
Regarding the contents of the data, for example, “a perspective view of the product”, “a plan view of the product”, “a front view of the product”, “an exploded view of the product”,
Select and specify from "Product cross-section" etc. A more detailed explanation is written in text in the "data explanation" column.

Also, a file in which information of a plurality of products is entered in a predetermined format can be uploaded collectively. When the “collective registration of goods by file” button 13 is pressed, the screen jumps to a file transfer screen (not shown). For example, a csv format in which information of one product is described in text data in a predetermined order while being separated by a comma or a space for each line. The server that receives the csv format file from the trader automatically expands and registers the described information. The file format is not limited to the ASCII file, but may be an application data format such as a word processor or spreadsheet software. The information registered by the file transfer can be confirmed by pressing the “confirm registered information” button. According to this method, particularly when registering a large number of product information, it is more efficient than directly entering information on a homepage. Alternatively, you can enter the required information in a wizard format to answer the questions. The information registered in this way is registered and managed in a database.

The information once registered can be changed as needed thereafter. To add or update information, the company accesses the website in the same manner as described above, inputs the user name and password from the screen of FIG. 2, and presses the “login” button 7 to log in. Button 10 is clicked. Then, the screen jumps to the screen shown in FIG.
4. Clicking on each button such as “Change registered information” 15 will advance to the respective input screens. To delete registration information, press the “Delete Registration Information” button 16.
A dialog box for specifying the product you want to delete is displayed. Specify the product name or model number and press the delete button.

In addition to the normal product / service registration, the "other registration" button 17 can be pressed to register other information and display it on the user's log-in screen or search screen as required. For example, it is possible to register the latest information of a product, service products for a limited time, important notices, and the like, and display the information when a user searches for a product of a registered trader.

It is preferable that the registration work is performed by a manufacturer of a house or building material, which is a provider of the product service. Can also be registered. For example, a design office that purchases maker-made materials from manufacturers, wholesalers, and wholesalers, or that receives OEM supply, registers these product service information on the homepage. In this case, the setting of the price may be determined by the registrant, or may be registered as the manufacturer's desired retail price. You can also register your own brand products. However, in general, it is most preferable that the manufacturer registers the information from the viewpoint of the accuracy of information and the genuineness of the product. If there are a plurality of agents or dealers who purchase or consignedly sell products of the same maker, registering the same product handled by each store will be troublesome twice. Therefore, if you ask the manufacturer to collectively register the products, and each agency or retailer registers and changes only necessary items such as the selling price and delivery date, the burden of product registration on the store side Is greatly reduced. For manufacturers, registering their products on the website of the virtual house exhibition hall has the advantage of increasing sales opportunities. In addition, since the company has the most detailed information on its products and has detailed data, it is best for the registrant to carry out the work by the manufacturer himself.

[User Login S1] Similar to the above-mentioned company, ordinary users are connected to the Internet by dial-up connection using a general telephone line or a dedicated line connection via a LAN, and display a virtual house at a predetermined address. To the site homepage. User registration is required before logging in. The user who has completed the user registration work is given a user name (I
D) and a password, and an access right for logging in is given thereafter.

When a general user accesses the homepage for the first time, the user registers as a new user. When the "registration of general user is clicked" button 9 is clicked on the screen of FIG. 2, the screen jumps to the general user registration screen shown in FIG. On this screen, the user inputs a predetermined question. When the entry is completed, click “Register”
Press button 18. Then, a confirmation screen of the input content is displayed, and the user checks whether there is any mistake in the input content (not shown). If there is a mistake, press the "Back" button to correct the contents. If there is no mistake, press the "Confirm" button. Then, the input information is sent to the homepage, and a user name and a password are given.

After the user registration is completed, the user can access the home page by inputting a user name and a password from the login screen shown in FIG. By storing this user name and password in the user's computer using cookies, it is possible to save the trouble of inputting such information every time access is made.

The input information is used, for example, in the form of a name (construction shop name, design office name, individual name,
Information such as the person in charge), contact address (company location, work place), telephone number, fax number, and e-mail address.
Requests are divided into required input items and optional input items.

Further, if desired, it is possible to request the reception of a mail magazine or direct mail, or the cooperation of filling out a questionnaire. The questionnaire questionnaire includes, for example, company size, main business contents, main clientele, construction results, frequency, and sales area. Also, for consumers and design firm customers, the location of the homepage, the purpose of use, the presence or absence of future rebuilding or remodeling, the time of purchase, the budget, the product category of interest or purchase, Certain items (such as photovoltaic power generation, sick house syndrome, household waste disposal, interest in ecological specifications, etc.), frequency of Internet use, and connection environment. The answer to these may be optional. The input information is registered in a database and managed as customer information.

By obligating such registration and authentication work, the home exhibitor establishment person can grasp and specify the accessing user. It is important for a home exhibitor to know what users exist, and at the same time, by eliminating indifferent users, efficient marketing without waste can be performed. Anyone who does not intend to purchase and tries to gain access will be expected to give up access because personal information is found to be necessary, because it is expected that the information will not be leaked. And collect and manage information about potential customers who are willing to purchase and likely to purchase.

Information such as the condition of the estimate, the purchase result, the desired price range, the access frequency, etc. requested by the user is basically recorded. Therefore, it is possible to grasp the tendency and preference of each user, and which product of which manufacturer was selected and ordered. This information is
Provided to manufacturers as needed. For example, by notifying the manufacturer of information on users who frequently use their products, the manufacturer can provide benefits such as rewards, rebates, and points to this user. In addition, it is also possible to collect requests and requests from users in individual questionnaires, questionnaires, and the like. These are regularly performed by the virtual house exhibition hall for registered users, and the totaled results are reported to the manufacturer. In some cases, it is possible for the maker to communicate directly with the customer user, such as by providing the user list to the maker at the virtual house exhibition hall. As described above, the virtual home exhibition hall and the home exhibition method of the present invention can be used for marketing by collecting information about the user and accurately grasping the demand, and providing the manufacturer with the information.

[Estimation Request] From this home page, the user can obtain an estimate for a desired custom-built house. The process by which the user obtains an estimate is shown in the flowchart of FIG. The user presents the information required to request a new home, such as the consumer who requested the design office or the desired specifications such as the area and budget of the land owned by the designer, the floor plan and the type of building components, etc. . When the design office becomes a user and specifies the conditions desired by the client, information such as necessary conditions is obtained from the client in advance. Alternatively, the client accesses the virtual house exhibition hall while the client is present, asks for necessary information on the spot, and enters the contents in place of the client. In other words, the design office performs agency input for the client. of course,
The client may operate the computer directly with the support of the design office, while looking at the manual, or independently.

In response to an inquiry from the user, the companies that can receive orders roughly estimate and present the estimated amounts. Since the quotes of the respective companies are displayed in a list, the user can compare and evaluate the quotes of the respective companies and enjoy the advantage of being able to place an order with a favorite company. In this way, for custom-built houses instead of built-for-sale houses, the user can present desired specifications and have each company bid. As a result, the user can contract with a favorable contractor, and can enjoy the price benefit of the competition. The merchant also enjoys the advantage of being able to do business directly with the user, thereby reducing the intermediate margin for advertising, etc., and reflecting that amount on the price.

After the user inputs a user name and password from the screen shown in FIG. 2 and logs in, the process proceeds to the start screen shown in FIG. From this figure, a desired menu is selected. When a quote is desired, a new construction or a renovation is designated, and an “estimate” button 19 is pressed.

[Input of land information S2] "New construction" is shown in FIG.
5 shows an example of a quote request screen to which a jump is made when "" is selected. From this screen, the user enters the conditions to be specified in order to get a quote for a newly built home. For example, address designation and location conditions for specifying regulations that differ depending on the region according to laws and regulations, the direction of the location, the location area, the floor area, the length of one side of the land, etc. are input. We will also specify whether to use wooden or steel bars, specify the two-by-four method, request cypress construction, grade the foundation, foundation, or interior.

The two-by-four construction method is called a frame wall construction method, and refers to a construction method in which a building is formed by floors and walls obtained by driving a structural plywood or the like into a frame made of wood.
Since the cross section of the most frequently used lumber used is 2 inches × 4 inches, it is derived from the so-called two-by-four method. Unlike traditional wooden structures, there are no pillars, no grooves or protrusions at the joints, so the construction is simple, the construction period is short, and it has features such as excellent fire resistance, earthquake resistance, and airtightness.

The user may present a budget. For example, if the condition that the total budget is 50 million yen or less is imposed, only the quote of the contractor who can receive an order within this budget is displayed.

As the input format, a portion where a text is directly input and a portion where a pull-down menu or a radio button is provided to allow selection from a plurality of options are selectively used.

[Specification of Floor Plan S3] After the above basic format is input, specific floor plans and building members are specified according to necessity and preference. After inputting the basic information in FIG. 7, if the “To detailed input” button 21 is pressed, the screen jumps to the floor plan designation method selection screen in FIG. 8. The user selects a layout designating method from the screen in FIG. In FIG. 8, three types of layout designating methods are prepared. A “Select from default layout” button 22, B “Combine with default layout” button 23, C “Create your own”
One of the buttons 24 is selected and clicked with a mouse.

In FIG. 8, when the user clicks the A “select from the default floor plan” button 22, the screen jumps to the screen shown in FIG. In this screen, a plurality of basic floor plans are prepared, and each image is reduced and displayed in the form of a thumbnail like 25. Click each image to enlarge the floor plan. The user selects a desired floor plan for each floor or each room. Also select the house outline. In the floor plan selection box 26, the floor plan is, for example, "1st floor", "2"
When switching to “floor”, “entrance”, “washroom”, “house outline”, etc., the thumbnail 25 of the displayed image is also switched to the corresponding candidate group. Users select what they want for each.

When the user presses the B "combined floor plan" button 23, as shown in FIG. 10, an image 27 of the room and a
A room part image 28 is displayed. The user combines the desired part images 28 to form a desired room image. The room image 27 is divided into a plurality of sections 52 by dashed grid lines, and the part image 28 is configured to match each section. As an image, it is similar to the task of creating a completed drawing by combining puzzles. For example, a part image is arranged on each section 52 partitioned by a grid line by copy and paste or drag and drop with a mouse. Further, since each part image can be freely enlarged, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, first, a plurality of sections 52 are selected with the mouse in the room image 27, and when the image part 28 to be arranged in the selected part is clicked, The image part 28 is enlarged and arranged at the selected part. The state where all the sections 52 are selected and the part 28 is clicked is the same state as the above-mentioned A “Select from the default floor plan”. By switching the floor plan selection box 26B, images are similarly created for each floor, each room, or the appearance of the house by combining the images.

Alternatively, the user presses the C “create it by yourself” button, and transfers the sketch and house shape created by the user from the screen shown in FIG. 11 to the homepage for use.
The user prepares a desired floor plan or the like in a predetermined file format in advance using CAD software or the like, designates the content of the file in the floor plan selection box 26C, and presses an "upload" button 29 to transfer the file. File transfer can be realized by providing the ftp function on the homepage side. The homepage server that receives the floor plan file transfer analyzes the file and creates a screen image.

According to one of the above-mentioned layout designating methods,
Alternatively, the floor plan of each floor or room is determined by combining a plurality of them, and the outline of the house is determined.

[Designation of Goods / Services S4] Next, each building member to be arranged in the floor plan created by the above procedure is designated. For example, when a window glass is clicked and selected with a mouse in an image diagram of a room, and a “selection of product service” button is pressed, a product selection window appears. The user selects the material of the sash from three types: ordinary type, paired glass, and insulated paired glass. Further, a list of products of each trader or house maker is displayed according to the selected type, and a product desired by the user is selected from these.

When selecting a product, the user selects the product using, for example, a paper catalog, and specifies the product by checking and inputting its model number. Alternatively, provide a product search function on the homepage, for example, the user specifies the manufacturer name, price range, size, color, shape, etc.
It is also possible to display a list of products that meet the conditions and select a desired product from the list. FIG.
As shown in FIG. 2, each building member 30 displayed as a thumbnail may be dragged and dropped on the image 27D of the room to arrange the products.

It is not necessary to select all products,
For example, it is also possible to use a method in which a default product is presented in advance by a maker or a virtual house exhibition hall, and a user selects a product to be changed and replaces it with a desired product. Alternatively, only one is selected for the same product, and the remaining products are automatically selected. For example, if you select any one product for the glass and press the “select this product” button 31 and then press the “unify all the rest to this product” button 32, all other places using the glass will automatically Replaces the selected glass. According to this method, the product designation operation can be simplified.

In this way, the user determines detailed specifications of each unit. Since the information input by the user is registered in the database 4 of the server 3, it can be easily called at the next access, and the trouble of having to input each time of access can be saved. Further, it can be stored in the user's computer 2A using a cookie. As described above, the registered information can also be used as information for marketing by the establisher or trader of the virtual house exhibition hall.

[Estimation request S5] When the specification is finally determined, or when the "estimation request" button 33 is pressed at a stage where a certain degree of specification is determined, each trader who wishes to bid is presented as shown in FIG. A list of amounts and delivery dates is displayed. When the "Request for Estimate" button 33 is pressed, the conditions are checked against the conditions of the registered trader on the condition of the information input by the user. First, the contractors that can receive orders are selected based on the place and time of construction, the product to be handled, the construction form, and the like. And for each vendor that can accept orders, the type of product required,
The number, installation cost, and other necessary costs are calculated by a computer based on prices registered in advance, and the total construction cost is calculated.

[Estimation result display S6] Sorting is performed in ascending order of the estimated amount, and the list is displayed as 34 on the home page viewed by the user. As shown in FIG. 13, the estimate list 34 displays the date and time when the estimate was made and the expiration date 35 of the information. The list can be converted into a file format and the estimation result can be sent by e-mail to a mail address specified by the user, or can be printed out on paper and sent to a destination specified by the user by facsimile or mail. As for the destination, information registered at the time of user information registration is input in the destination entry field 36 by default, but can be changed as necessary. According to this method, users who do not have access to computers or the Internet or who are not familiar with computers can use specialized technology as necessary from terminals and other computers installed in the showroom of the virtual home exhibition hall. It is possible to access while receiving the support of the users and receive the estimation results in a format that is easy to use for each user.

The number of items to be displayed can be changed by the user's selection. For example, the number of items to be displayed can be changed by re-designating the number-of-displayed-item designation field 37 to 5, 10, 20, or the like and pressing the “redisplay” button 38. The sort conditions can also be changed. For example, by pressing the "change sort condition" button 39, the order of the scheduled delivery date is early, the order of the business office of the trader is closer to the address specified by the user, or the estimated amount is less than 50 million yen. Specify conditions such as the earliest expected completion date and redisplay. If the user saves the search result on the home page by pressing the “Save this result” button 40, the user can call it from the “Recall saved result” button 41 at the next access.

[Condition reset S7] Further, based on the display result, the user presses the "reset condition" button 42 to return to S2 to S4 as shown in the flowchart of FIG. You can do it again. For example, if the result is not displayed because the designated price is too low, the condition is relaxed by resetting the total construction cost budget to a higher value or changing the components to low-priced products, and then requesting a quote again.

If the user wants to confirm the details of the quote of the favorite trader from the list, the "display" check box 43 provided in the left column of the quote list shown in FIG.
When the column of the corresponding line is checked and the "Details" button 44 is clicked, detailed information is displayed as shown in FIG. The detailed information includes confirmation of conditions specified by the user, a list of each building member, a construction schedule, a presentation diagram, and telephone numbers, facsimile numbers, and e-mails of other companies, such as contact information and names of persons in charge. Hyperlinks are set in e-mail addresses and homepages, so clicking them will automatically launch e-mail software or a browser, allowing users to send inquiries to the company by e-mail, You can get an overview.

Further, the costs of each member designated by the user and the individual construction method are individually displayed. A subtotal is provided for each of the small, medium and large items and displayed together with the total amount so that the details of the cost can be grasped. To make it easy to understand the relationship between price and product and to change it as needed, for example, grade each product as "standard", "intermediate",
Different colors are set for each of the five grades of "advanced", "luxury", and "excellent", and each item is displayed in a different color for each selected product. The user can consider the items for which the desired grade is to be maintained within the budget and the items for which the desired grade is not to be maintained, and the items whose grade is desired to be changed can be easily changed from the pull-down menu. The changed result is displayed by pressing the refresh button or automatically updated to show a new amount or grade.

In the above-mentioned display, when a large amount of information cannot be displayed on one screen, scrolling can be performed manually or automatically, or the display can be switched between simplified display and detailed display in several stages. Also, it is divided into multiple pages and displayed, and buttons for each page such as “next page”, “previous page”, “top”, “last”, or “trader information”
Provide buttons or links for items such as "land information", "schedule table", "price details", etc., or enter a page number etc. directly to specify a jump destination, a dialog box, a table of contents, a hyper for each item A link can be provided to jump to a desired item.

The user can print out the information on paper as needed. For more detailed discussions, negotiations, and inquiries, contact the relevant company directly by telephone, facsimile, e-mail, etc.

According to this method, the user can automatically obtain an estimate for each company from online and compare and examine the amount presented by each company. it can. There is also a merit that a quotation of each company can be obtained at once by presenting the conditions only once. In the past, if you wanted to request a quotation, you had to request each company individually, which was troublesome.
In addition, because the content of products and services differ from company to company, simple comparison could not be made even if multiple estimates were obtained. According to the present invention, the user can easily and easily inquire about the house price. In addition, general consumers who are interested in new construction, extension or remodeling can easily understand the specific amount of money, such as what combination of products and services and how much it will cost. In some cases, direct access and inquiries can be made easily, so that the threshold for building products can be lowered by using the Internet, and a potential user segment can be discovered.

Also, instead of the company deciding the specifications based on the combination of its own products and the designated manufacturer's products as in the past, the user submits the desired specifications, and a competition is made to determine how many companies that can receive orders will provide. Therefore, the request of the user can be accurately reflected and can be selected at an appropriate price. Further, since the contractor decides whether or not to participate in the bidding depending on the construction place and the construction target, there is no waste on both sides. Conventionally, when a quotation is requested from each trader, each trader creates a quotation within a range of goods and services that the company can provide. Therefore, the specifications are such that the trader allows the user to select from among the company's products, and the user can specify the specifications only within a limited range. Furthermore, in this method, since each company prepares a quotation individually, there is no competition with other companies and no price advantage can be enjoyed. According to the present invention, a user can specify a desired specification without having the trader present the specification. In addition, there is no need to visit a trader or a trader. In this way, rather than asking users for quotes from each vendor, a user-driven virtual house exhibition hall service where multiple vendors gather and present quotes according to user's desired specifications To provide.

Further, the user sets a price, solicits a contractor that can be contracted within this amount, and bids the contractor. The user compares the quotes of the contractor that can be contracted within the designated budget, and determines an optimal contractor. The advantage that the condition can be selected can be enjoyed. In addition, the user can reset the conditions according to the estimation result and request a new estimation. For example, if there are many providers in the search results, you can narrow down the conditions to search for more advantageous properties and narrow down the providers, and conversely, if there is no provider for the presented conditions and amount, present Because the amount may be too low,
By relaxing the conditions and conducting a search again, it is possible to grasp an appropriate market price.

Further, the present invention is not limited to the form of the custom-built house as described above, and a form in which a condition is designated and searched from ready-made built-for-sale houses provided by a trader or a maker can also be used. The trader pre-registers the information of the built-for-sale housing together with the price, and the user searches for the registered information by designating conditions such as a location area, an address and a price.

Alternatively, a combination of custom-made and ready-made products may be used. A certain standard format is presented as a standard by the trader or the maker, and the user designates a portion or a component that the user wants to change. On the trader's side, standardization to standard specifications can reduce costs by mass order.

Furthermore, when the user presents the site information of the land and clicks the "automatic selection" button 45, the combinations recommended by the respective manufacturers and vendors are displayed. A predetermined product service and a combination thereof are registered in advance for each site condition by each trader, and an optimum product combination is selected and displayed according to the site information of the user who has requested "Random". In addition, each trader can also present hot selling products and combinations. By preparing a predetermined combination of products and services in this way, a large quantity order is expected, and the production cost is suppressed by the mass production effect, so that the product can be provided at an appropriate price.

The user who has obtained an estimate from each company confirms the intention of the consumer by comparing and examining it, and decides on an order.
In this screen, an "Order" button 46 provided in the right column of the row of the desired estimation result can be clicked to place an order under specified conditions. Since this screen can be saved, the saved quote list can be called up again at a later date even if the study time is required, and an order can be placed under designated conditions within the expiration date of the designated information.

[0098] Requesting an estimate requires a wide range of registered users,
In addition, we will provide free or low-cost services to registered users so that inquiries can be made easily. The operator of the virtual house exhibition hall obtains profits by, for example, collecting a store opening cost from the dealer, receiving a rebate at a predetermined rate according to a contract, or receiving a predetermined amount according to the sales of the dealer. It should be noted that a method such as limiting the number of times a free estimate can be requested and charging a fee for requesting detailed information can also be adopted.

There are various methods for calculating the price in addition to the simple calculation of the price registered for each product service. For example, an approximate amount is set for a product in a certain category, and the products included in the category are calculated uniformly. In particular, some small businesses do not have or provide pricing information for all product services. In such a case, setting the prices of all the merchandise services and imposing registration is a heavy burden.
Therefore, for a company that does not provide detailed data, a method of setting a predetermined amount for each product category on the side of the virtual house exhibition hall operator is conceivable. In this case, it is optional for the trader to register information on the commodity service for which the amount is set. Alternatively, the virtual house exhibition hall operator side presents a plurality of amounts for a predetermined category and allows the vendor to select one of the amounts, or the vendor sets a default approximate amount for each category, Unless otherwise specified, the amount may be used.

Further, a configuration may be adopted in which the dealer sets several grades for a predetermined category without specifying a product name, and sets a price according to each grade. For example, for wallpaper cloth, "standard" 5000 yen,
"Intermediate (A)" 8000 yen, "Advanced (AA)" 10,000 yen,
Instead of specifically specifying products, such as “luxury (AAA)” of 20,000 yen, they are set by classifying by price. The merchandise corresponding to each class is specified by the trader according to the price. The user is allowed to select specific fabrics and patterns if desired.

When calculating the price, each company may set a discount by collective purchase if the estimated amount is a certain amount or more. Further, a display method such as a percentage of the manufacturer's suggested retail price can be adopted.

[Information Search] In addition to obtaining an estimate, the user can search for merchandise service information registered by each trader or manufacturer. "Search for products and services" from each screen
When the button 20 is pressed, the screen jumps to the search screen as shown in FIG. 15, or the search window is opened separately from the estimate request screen. The user can perform a keyword search from this screen, directly specify a specific product name, manufacturer name, or category as a keyword, and click "Execute search".
Press the button 47. Alternatively, a product can be searched for by a directory-type search 48 in which directories registered by manufacturer, by product service category, and the like are traversed hierarchically by links.

In the case of a keyword search, the maximum number of displayed product services (for example, 10, 50, 10
The user can select designation of display data (for example, whether or not to display an image, only the name and basic data, and display of all data, etc.) by using the “detailed setting” button 49. Further, when the "Save this result" button 50 is pressed, the search result can be saved, and the saved result can be called from the "Call saved result" button 51.

The search window can be opened separately from the above quote window. For example, in the process of obtaining a quote, a user who wants to search for a desired product service opens the window of FIG. After execution, a desired product service can be selected from the search results, and the selected result can be specified in the estimation condition setting. The specification method can also be configured by directly inputting individually selected products, or by linking the search window and the quote window so that the product service selected in the search result window is automatically posted to the quote window. Good. Further, a link may be set on the homepage of each trader or manufacturer, a search function provided by the manufacturer may be used, and the result may be used as necessary.

For example, from a client who is a consumer who requests an estimate for a new house, the design office receives various conditions such as the area of the land to be located, the location conditions, and the sunshine. Based on this, the design office becomes a user, accesses the homepage of the virtual house exhibition hall, and orders a quote. The consumer may witness the access to the virtual house exhibition hall by the design office and instruct the conditions and confirm the result on the spot. In addition, the estimation result accessed by the design office can be confirmed at a later date or another place. The user can receive the printed list or the saved result by mail, facsimile, sending a computer file, or e-mail, and check it at home or at the design office. In this way, a method in which a design office enters a virtual house exhibition hall as a user, specifies conditions according to consumers' wishes, and presents the results to consumers for confirmation This is preferable in that a design office standing between the company and the trader can explain by matching the intention of the consumer with the offer price of the trader. of course,
The consumer can directly access the virtual home exhibition space as a user while receiving instructions from the design office or referring to a manual.

According to the above method, the user can grasp the details of the price. Normally, the estimated price is displayed at a final price of how much tsubo, and there is a problem that the specific contents are difficult to understand. In particular, when evaluating a home product that a general consumer wants to purchase, the final price alone is not enough as a criterion for judgment, and the target is hard to imagine. If it is known how much it costs, it will be easier for users, especially the general consumers, to concretely imagine, and how to change what parts and what specifications will change the cost. I understand. This is extremely important. In the past, house products were left to contract, but by using the present invention, consumers' wishes can be reflected in details. Moreover, knowing the price of the details allows consumers to consider budget allocation. Consumers can see numerically how to change which part and how it will change the price, and it is easy to change, re-specify, and re-run the quote due to the nature of online automatic quote Therefore, the consumer can freely set the combination of the favorite products within the budget while comparing it with his own budget. As described above, the virtual house exhibition hall and the house display method of the present invention can provide a consumer-oriented house merchandise service in which a consumer can freely and easily select and design desired goods.

[0092]

As described above, the virtual home exhibition hall and the home exhibition method according to the present invention provide a network for connecting a new home exhibition hall led by a user as a form in which a user specifies a price and a bid is given to a trader. It will be possible to pioneer it. This is because the present invention mediates the exchange between the user and the trader on the network, registers and saves necessary information in advance, and enables search and display according to the conditions, so that the house desired by the user can be created. Estimation and ordering can be performed easily and quickly. According to the present invention, it is possible to respond to this by presenting necessary information from the user side to the trader side, instead of the conventional house exhibition hall where the trader or manufacturer side actively approaches the user side by advertising etc. A new user-driven home exhibition space will be provided, with the answers of different companies. In other words, an environment has been realized in which not only contractors can work but also inquiries can be obtained from users. As a result, the need for advertising has been reduced and small and medium-sized businesses and manufacturers,
Even a construction company has the advantage that it can ease handicap with major companies and participate in bids for quotes on an equal basis. The present invention provides great business opportunities, especially for local contractors in each region where the sales force is weak.

[0093] For the user, it is possible to find a construction shop which has excellent construction technology but is not good at marketing and publicity, and a price advantage is obtained by competition among a plurality of contractors, and advantageous conditions are obtained. You can select a contract. In particular, since the costs spent on advertisements by manufacturers and contractors are large, if such expenses can be reduced, it is expected that house prices will be reduced. As described above, the present invention has an extremely excellent feature that both merchandise service providers and users can enjoy the advantages.

The present invention also realizes a feature that a quotation relating to a building such as a house can be easily requested. In particular, construction-related items are large and expensive compared to general products,
The purchase itself was large and the threshold was high, and I was reluctant to ask for inquiries and quotes casually. Conventionally, in order to cope with such a feeling of resistance, each builder has spent a great deal of effort and money in attracting customers by holding events and preparing souvenirs at home exhibition halls. INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The virtual house exhibition hall and the house exhibition method of the present invention make it possible to make simple and quick inquiries from a computer without using a network such as the Internet, without having to go to the site. It is intended to ease the resistance and open the door to more users, thereby expanding the market and finding potential demand.

In particular, as an effect peculiar to the present invention, since a physical facility such as a conventional house exhibition hall is not required, establishment and operation of a virtual house exhibition hall are extremely easy. Because you don't have to actually build a building,
There is no need for land, building materials, or construction work, and labor costs are greatly reduced, which can reduce costs and labor more than ever before. As a result, tenant store opening costs can be kept low, small and medium-sized contractors and contractors can easily participate, and the number of participants increases the range of choices. Can be expected to have a synergistic effect of making it easier to find properties.

Further, as an advantage of the electronic commerce, there is also a feature that the user can access, estimate, and purchase at a convenient time regardless of the business hours. Also, by requesting an authentication procedure at the time of access, users who are trying to access on an interest basis will not want to access because of discomfort or fear of leakage of personal information, so users with low purchase motivation and interest are It is also expected that efficient marketing with a high closing rate can be achieved by eliminating the obscurity caused by Yahoo! Further, it is possible to obtain information on desired conditions, popularity, product services with a high degree of interest, providers, etc. from the input information of the user. This information is collected and stored as customer information and can be used for marketing. From a statistical point of view, it can also be used as a material for new product and service development, and can perform business development such as grasping the demand of each user as individual data and presenting products and services that meet individual needs. As described above, by utilizing the present invention, necessary information presented by the user can be fed back to the merchandise service provider, thereby achieving both benefits.

In addition, the virtual house exhibition hall and the house exhibition method of the present invention can present the details of the estimate to the user side. In other words, it is not limited to the rough display such as how many tsubo and how many yen as in the past, but it is possible to display details such as which member and construction cost how much, so the user can evaluate the estimate easily and evaluate it. A feature is realized that the contents of the estimate can be grasped and used for comparison and examination when making a purchase decision.
