Description

[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention allows a third party to use a personal property or real estate (hereinafter referred to as “managed property”) owned by an individual during a time period when the owner of the managed property does not (or cannot) use it. Regarding the management device.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there are techniques for promoting effective use of various things themselves and improving the convenience of users of the things themselves.
[0003]
First, an example of the former (promoting effective use of the thing itself) will be described. Parking lots provided at individual homes, monthly parking lots where a shared space is allocated to each individual and used, etc. are used by the owner or renter of the land where the parking lot was established. There are no time zones. By using such parking lots (hereinafter referred to as "managed items") to third parties other than the owner and lessee of the managed items, there has been a technology for effectively utilizing the managed items. Proposed.
[0004]
Specifically, "Lender and borrower of the parking lot are registered in the management device that manages the rental of the parking lot, the parking lot information including the location information of the parking lot is registered, and the reservation information of the parking lot is registered from the borrower device. A parking lot rent management system that receives lending time information from the lender device that can accept and lend a parking lot, and notifies the borrower device of lending guidance information from the management device based on the received reservation information and lending time information. Exists (see Patent Document 1).
[0005]
Next, an example of the latter (improving the convenience of the user) will be described. For example, an apparatus has been proposed that improves the convenience of a user who uses a vehicle rental service.
[0006]
Specifically, "means for grasping the position of the vehicle via a wireless communication line, means for grasping the position of the user based on information input from the wireless terminal of the user, and Means for determining a vacant vehicle close to the position of the user who transmitted the vehicle lending request as a lending target, and guide information for guiding the determined leasing target vehicle position via a wireless communication line to the user's wireless terminal And a means for transmitting a vehicle rental request and a means for receiving a vehicle return notification from a user to determine whether each vehicle is in a rented state. (Patent Document 2).

[0009]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, if the lender (manager) of the parking lot has to specify lending time information that can lend the parking lot (managed item) as in the related art described in the prior art document 1, It is cumbersome for the lender. The lending time information is the time during which the vehicle parked in the parking lot (managed object) is used. Accordingly, when the time period during which the vehicle is used is determined by the owner of the vehicle based on the regular use schedule, the time for using the parking lot (managed object) is also determined accordingly, so that the parking lot is used each time. Since there is no need to specify the time when the (managed object) is scheduled to be used, the procedure is not complicated for the manager. However, if the vehicle owner uses the vehicle on an irregular schedule, the use of the parking lot (managed property) for parking the vehicle will be irregular accordingly, and the available lending time information will not be available. You must specify each time. In this regard, it is considered that the latter case is often the case of a privately owned parking lot (managed object). Therefore, as described above, there remains a problem that the lender is complicated.
[0010]
Further, in the case where a user who requests use of a vehicle (managed object) is matched with a vacant vehicle near the position of the user as in the conventional example described in Patent Literature 2, the convenience of the user is certainly improved. It is thought to improve. However, in such a conventional example, only a vehicle (managed object) that has actually become a vacant vehicle (managed object) can be guided as a target to be lent. For example, an in-use vehicle (managed object) that becomes an empty vehicle (managed object) in about five minutes later is not treated as an empty vehicle (managed object). As described above, there remains a problem that it is not possible to efficiently use the management object based on the current usage status of the management object for those who wish to use the management object next.
[0011]
Therefore, in view of the above problems, the present invention allows a lender to easily lend a managed item and, based on the current use status of the managed item, is effective for a person who next uses the managed item. It is an object of the present invention to provide a device that allows the user to use the management object.
[0012]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve this problem, the present invention manages usage status information indicating the usage status of a managed product used by an administrator and a third party, and sends the managed product to a third party based on the usage status information. Utilization notice information, which is information to be used, is generated, and a managed object management device configured to allow a third party to view the availability notice information is used. The use status information includes irregular use notice information that is information for notifying a time when the manager uses the managed material irregularly. Further, when the managed object is a parking space of a parking lot, the irregular use notice information may be an estimated time at which a car used by a manager of the parking lot will arrive at the parking lot.

Therefore, the third party browses the available notice information for allowing the third party to use the space of the monthly parking lot rented by the user A, and uses the space of the monthly parking lot rented by the user A. We were able to.
[0021]
(Configuration of Embodiment 1)
[0022]
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a functional block according to the present embodiment. An example of the configuration of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in the figure, the present embodiment is a managed object management device including a managed object use status information management unit 201, a usable notification information generation unit 202, and a browsing unit 203.
[0023]
The “managed object use status information management unit 202” manages use status information indicating the use status of the managed items used by the administrator and third parties.
[0024]
(Regarding claims 8, 11 etc.)
[0025]
The "managed object" is an object to be managed, and is used by the manager himself and a third party as described above. In other words, it allows a third party to use the managed property, such as the owner of the managed property or the lessee, when the managed property itself is not used. Specifically, in addition to personal property such as personal computers, automobiles, bicycles, ships, umbrellas, sports equipment, etc., it may include real estate such as parking spaces in parking lots and villas.
[0026]
“Usage status information” is information indicating the usage status of the managed object. The use status information is, for example, information indicating that the managed object is used. Further, the information may include information for specifying the managed object itself, such as the content of the managed object, a place where the managed object is located, a mode of use of the managed object, and the like. In addition, conditions for allowing the third-party to use the managed item, such as the period during which the use of the managed item is permitted, the mode, consideration, the method of payment, and the return of the managed item after using the managed item May include locations.
[0027]
In addition, in the use status information, when the managed object is not used by an administrator or a third party other than the administrator, non-use information that is information indicating that the managed object is not used is included. May be included.
[0028]
As described above, the “non-use information” is information indicating that the managed object is not used. When the managed object is a movable property and has a structure in which the movable property can operate, for example, the movable property Is an automobile, information indicating that the engine of the automobile is not operating, and the like correspond. More specifically, the information indicates that the detector installed in the vehicle does not detect the rotation of the engine of the vehicle.
[0029]
Further, when the managed object is a movable product and the movable product does not operate, for example, when the movable product is an umbrella, the location of the movable product within a specific time is determined based on the position information indicating the location of the movable product. Information indicating that the information has not been changed corresponds to the information. Specifically, the position information of the umbrella is acquired at regular time intervals using a GPS device, and the position information is transmitted to the managed object management device of the present embodiment by a communication unit installed externally or internally. The information indicating that the position of the umbrella has been changed corresponds to the information.
[0030]
Further, when the managed object is a real estate, information indicating that a specific object, a person, or the like does not exist on the real estate or inside the real estate corresponds thereto. For example, when the real estate is a parking lot, the information indicates that it is detected that no car or the like is parked in the parking lot. The detection of a specific object or person is based on whether there is a specific pressurization in one or more places of the real estate, whether it is in a non-contact state, and a certain numerical value or more. May be performed depending on whether or not the temperature of the image could be detected. In addition, a light emitting unit that emits infrared light at a specific location of the real estate and a light receiving unit that receives infrared light emitted from the light emitting unit are provided, and whether or not infrared light received by the light receiving unit is blocked, or It can also be performed by detecting whether or not the received infrared light is received by the light receiving unit.
[0031]
(Regarding claims 2, 4 etc.)
[0032]
The information included in the usage status information is not limited to “non-use information”, and may include, for example, end schedule information that is information including an end schedule of use while using the managed object. The end schedule information may include, for example, a scheduled time to end the use of the managed item, in which case, the end schedule information indicates a time when a certain time has elapsed since the start of the use of the managed item, Information indicating the scheduled time at which the user of the managed object (administrator or a third party other than the administrator) ends the use of the managed object in advance corresponds to the information. In this way, by including the scheduled end information in the usage status information, even if the managed item is currently being used, if the use of the managed item is completed with a little use, the next user is In some cases, managed items can be used efficiently.
[0033]
(Regarding claims 6, 9 etc.)
[0034]
In addition, the use status information may include irregular use notice information (see FIG. 3A).
[0035]
The “irregular use notice information” is information for notifying a time when an administrator uses the managed material irregularly. For example, when the management object is a parking space of a parking lot, the irregular use announcement information may be an estimated time at which a car used by a manager of the parking lot will arrive at the parking lot.
[0036]
An example of a method for specifying the expected time will be described. For example, a GPS device and a communication unit that transmits the position information acquired by the GPS device are provided to the owner of the parking lot space or the lessee's car, which is the management object. In addition, the managed object management device stores in advance position information of the parking lot and map information indicating a shortest distance for moving from a specific position to another specific position using a public road. In addition, the managed object management device acquires the vehicle position information transmitted by the vehicle communication unit. Then, the availability notification information generation unit moves from the location where the vehicle is located to the location of the parking lot based on the location information transmitted by the vehicle communication means, the location information of the parking lot, and the map information. Then, the shortest time to arrive is generated as the expected time. Further, in the above-described example, not only the estimated time is generated based on the distance, but also information regarding the traffic congestion state and the like in the route from the place where the car is located to the place of the parking lot is acquired. The predicted time can also be generated by taking into account the traffic congestion state (specifying the speed of the vehicle that leads to the shortest time to arrive at the parking lot from the shortest distance at a speed lower than usual).
[0037]
(Regarding Claims 5 and 10)
[0038]
Further, the usage status information may include “periodic usage time information” (see FIG. 3B).
[0039]
“Regular use time information” is information indicating the time when the manager uses the managed material periodically. For example, if the managed object is a parking space of a parking lot, the car used by the manager of the parking lot uses the parking lot based on the regular activity schedule of the manager. Information, etc., which is derived based on the time of the operation.
[0040]
“Managing usage status information” means adding, deleting, or changing the usage status information. This makes it possible to always keep the usage status information up to date.
[0041]
The “availability notification information generation unit 202” is information for causing the third party to use the managed material based on the usage status information managed by the managed product usage status information management unit 201. Generate possible notification information.
[0042]
The “usable notification information” is, as described above, information for causing the third party to use the managed product based on the use status information. The availability notification information includes the content, period (including the date and time of starting use), location, mode, location of the managed object, and location of the managed object that allow the third party to use the managed object. It may include a return place after the use of the property, the amount of consideration for the use of the managed property, a payment method, and the like. For example, as the availability notification information, “a parking lot at the home of an individual who can park a passenger car (contents of a managed article) is set to“ 10:00 to 17:00 on August 7, 2002, (Permitted period), lend it for 200 yen per hour (charge for use). The place of the home where the parking lot is located is, for example, "Yamakiza, Kamakura-shi, Kanagawa-Chome, ○ Chome-No. (Location of managed property)" Information applies.
[0043]
Further, consider the availability notification information when the usage status information includes the scheduled end information. The use status information includes a time when the use ends, even though the managed article is currently used by another user. Therefore, by knowing the expected end time of use from the use status information, the time at which a third party can start using the managed item can be notified by the use notification information. An example in which the managed object is a parking lot will be described more specifically. For example, the availability notification information generating unit may use the information from the owner of the car occupying the parking lot as information indicating that “the time to go out using that car is 17:00” as use status information. Get. Then, the availability notification information generating unit determines, as the availability notification information, "a third party may use the parking lot. Currently, the parking lot is being used, but the estimated time at which the parking can be started. Is 17:00. "Is generated.
[0044]
Also, consider a case where the usage status information includes the irregular usage notice information. If the usable notice information generating unit generates the usable notice information based on the irregular use notice information, the use of the managed article in the near future is possible even though the use of the managed article is irregular use. It is possible to indicate information for giving a notice of a possible time.
[0045]
For example, consider a case where the managed object is a parking lot and a third party uses the parking lot. It is assumed that the irregular use notice information is an estimated time at which the car used by the user of the “parking lot”, which is the management object, will reach the parking lot due to returning from an irregular outing.
[0046]
When a car navigation system using the GPS function is used, it is possible to calculate the required time from the current position of the moving car to the destination. In the following, an example will be described in which the estimated required time to the parking lot is calculated based on the position of the vehicle that is going to return to the parking lot, and the available notification information is generated based on this.
[0047]
First, the position where the parking lot is located is specified by the use status information or the like. Further, the position where the car used by the manager (user) of the parking lot is currently running is specified by a GPS device or the like installed in the car, and acquired by a managed object management device or the like through a communication network. The managed object management device has the managed object management device, or the managed object management device does not have the vehicle movement required time calculation function that can be used by the managed object management device. Calculate the required time. The required time is the irregular use notice information, and the use notice information generation unit generates the use notice information based on the information.
[0048]
For example, if the current time is 17:30 and the information that the required time is 30 minutes at the earliest can be obtained from the irregular use notice information, the message “The parking lot is used by a third party. Although the current time is 17:30, the estimated time at which the car used by the parking lot user arrives at the parking lot is 30 minutes at the earliest (the shortest distance is 30 km, and the estimated average traveling speed is 60 km. / H), it is expected that the vehicle can be used until 18:00. ”Is generated by the available notification information generation unit.
[0049]
Further, the usage status information may include information for identifying a manager of the managed object. "Information for identifying the manager" means, in addition to the personal information of the manager, such as the name and telephone number of the manager of the manager, the type and location of the manager managed by the manager, the manager, It may include information on how to access the site. Specifically, the name of the user is "Taro Nihon", the telephone number of the user is "03-1234-567x", the type of the managed item is "parking lot", and the location of the managed item is "Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo" Yurakucho ○ chome ○ address ”and the like.
[0050]
(Regarding claim 9 etc.)
[0051]
Further, when the use status information includes “non-use information” indicating that the managed object is not used, the use availability notification information indicating that the managed object can be used immediately is generated. May be.
[0052]
The “viewing unit 203” allows a third party to view the availability notification information generated by the availability notification information generation unit 202. For example, the availability notification information can be viewed by outputting the information so that it can be received by a personal computer or a portable terminal (including a mobile phone) used by the third party via a communication network such as the Internet.
[0053]
(Specific example of Embodiment 1)
[0054]
FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a specific example of the present embodiment. An example of the concept of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

The lessee (manager) A of the parking lot has previously informed the managed object management device that a third party may use the parking lot during a time when the parking lot is not used. Was. One day, A was out on a holiday. A had no specific return schedule, but was at least one and a half hours from his current location to his rented parking lot. At this time, as shown in the figure, the managed object use state information management unit 401 of the managed object management apparatus manages the use state information including non-use information indicating that the parking lot, which is the managed object, is not used. I was In addition, the use status information includes irregular use notice information indicating an expected time “one hour and thirty minutes later” at which the car used by the manager of the parking lot arrives at the parking lot. The availability notification information generation unit has generated availability notification information for allowing a third party to use the parking lot, which is the managed object, based on the usage status information managed by the managed product usage status information management unit. The time at which the management of the usage status information including the irregular usage notice information is started is 12:00, and the availability notification information generated by the availability notification information generation unit is “Parking lot (managed object) Available from 12:00 until 13:30, one hour and 30 minutes later. "
[0056]
On the other hand, there is an errand in the vicinity of the parking lot, and the applicant B who has moved by car and was looking for the parking lot was unable to park the car because the general toll parking lot in the vicinity was full. B wanted parking for about one hour. Therefore, B accesses the managed object management device with his mobile phone and immediately browses for a parking lot that can be used nearby for about one hour. Then, the parking lot of the manager A can be browsed, and B can park in the parking lot rented by the manager A. At this time, the manager A does not need to register the time for using the parking lot in the management object management device, and as described above, the information that it takes at least 1 hour and 30 minutes to return to the parking lot is provided. It was specified on the managed object management device side, and was rented out to B who wanted to use it within that time.

An example of the configuration of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The management object use status information management unit 1201, the availability notification information generation unit 1202, and the browsing unit 1203 are the same as the configuration of the first embodiment, and the description is omitted.
[0104]
The “charging processor 1204” performs a charging process, which is a process for charging a third party other than the administrator for the use of the managed item based on the usage status information.
[0105]
“Charging for the use of managed items” means that when a fixed usage fee is charged for one use (flat-rate system), the usage fee is multiplied by the usage time in a predetermined time unit. In this case (pay-as-you-go system), it can be used for a fixed amount up to a predetermined time, and can be obtained by multiplying the usage fee in a predetermined time unit by the usage time for the amount exceeding the predetermined time. There may be cases where the amount is charged (combination system).
[0106]
The "fixed amount usage fee", "hourly usage fee" is the past day of the availability notification information in the browsing unit, the browsing results by time zone, and the day of the week to start using the managed material, You may comprise so that it may be specified based on time. For example, in the past, the browsing results of the usable notification information in the browsing unit are changed in the time zone from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm (morning time zone) and the time zone after 6:00 pm (night time zone). In comparison, if there are many hours after 12:00 pm and before 6:00 pm (afternoon time), the usage fee for the latter (night) time will be reduced to the former (morning and night) time. An amount higher than the usage fee may be specified. For example, if the browsing results of the available notice information in the past browsing unit are more on holidays than on weekdays, if the same time period, the usage fee on weekdays is reduced by the usage fee on holidays. It may be configured such that a higher price is specified as compared with. The measurement of the browsing frequency of the available notice information for each time zone and day of the week can be performed by various statistical methods. As a statistical method, specifically, the average value, median, and standard deviation of the number of browsing of the available notification information in the browsing unit, the calculation of the standard deviation, and a single regression analysis of the number of browsing of the available notification information, Multiple regression analysis, factor analysis, quantification theory, correspondence analysis, and calculation of trend values by covariance analysis can be performed.
[0107]
In addition, the “fixed amount usage fee” and the “time-based usage fee” are specified based on the performance of receiving the application for using the managed object, not limited to the browsing performance in the browsing unit. May be. Although not shown in the drawing, the use application information receiving unit that receives use application information, which is information for a third party to apply for use of the managed product indicated by the availability notification information, is not shown in the drawing. And the use application information receiving unit accepts the use application information. Further, the use application information receiving unit may be provided in the management object.
[0108]
The "processing for charging" means that information necessary for the settlement of the charged amount is transmitted to a bank or the like, which is an institution for settlement of the price (charged amount) for the use of the managed material, by using a communication network or the like. Means to give by sending. In some cases, the processing for charging includes transmitting the charging amount and information on a method of paying the charging amount to a portable terminal or the like used by the third party. The information on the payment method of the charged amount includes information on the account of the financial institution to which the charged amount is to be transferred, etc. It includes a method of directly handing it to a person at home (family, etc.) and paying in cash. If the managed object is a parking lot or the like at home owned by the administrator, a third party using the managed object can use the person at the administrator's home (family, etc.) regardless of a detour method such as transfer to a bank. This is because it may be more convenient to hand the cash directly to).
[0109]
Further, by the “processing for charging”, the payee of the charged amount can be set to a third party other than the administrator instead of the administrator. For example, as shown in the specific example of the above-described second embodiment, a user (third party) who is using the managed material is given a third party who wishes to use the managed material next. We may negotiate to have the user (third party) using the service terminate the use. In this negotiation, the next person who wishes to use the managed material may promise to pay for the user (third party) using the managed material to terminate the use. . Therefore, in the processing for charging the consideration to a third party who wishes to use the managed material next, the payee of the charged amount (consideration) is a user (third party) using the managed matter. It becomes.
[0110]
In addition, the processing for charging may be configured to be performed for a user of the managed article determined using an auction format to use the managed article. Specifically, when a plurality of third parties desire to use one managed article indicated by the availability notification information, the third party can be paid for the use of the managed article. Let them show the price. In this case, the person who presented the highest price is determined as the user of the managed property. Then, a process for charging the third party determined by the user of the managed article to the third party determined by presenting the highest price can be performed. Note that the billing processing unit may determine the user of the managed item in the auction format.
[0111]
An example of processing for charging the user of the managed article determined using an auction format for use of the managed article in the charging processing unit will be described. In this case, a case will be described as an example where a use application information receiving unit that receives use application information that is information for applying for use of a managed object indicated by the availability notification information is provided. Further, the use application information includes payable price information, which is information on a price that can be paid for the use of the managed item. First, the use application information receiving unit receives a plurality of use application information. Then, the price indicated by the payable price information included in the plurality of usage application information received by the usage application information receiving unit is compared. Then, based on the usage application information including the payable price information indicating the highest price specified by the comparison, the charging processing unit performs a process for charging for the use of the managed item.
