It is a system. The net camera auction system includes a camera device, a server device, and a plurality of terminal devices. The net camera auction system transmits a drive control signal from a plurality of terminal devices to the camera device via the server device to drive the camera device, and the video information acquired by the camera device is transmitted via the server device to the terminal device. It is a system that enables browsing. One of the features of this system is that when a drive control signal for a camera device is transmitted from a plurality of terminal devices at the same timing, a drive control signal to be prioritized is selected and the camera device is based on this drive signal. Is to drive. Another feature point is that the limit price is manipulated according to the past usage history of the net auction system user. By operating this limit price, a privilege can be obtained according to the degree of use of the net auction system user.

  FIG. 1 shows a case where one camera device is installed for one article. In this figure, three net auction system users are going to participate in an auction using their respective terminal devices. A is in love with this computer at a glance, B is at a loss, and C can buy it if the price is not high.

  In FIG. 2, the three parties A, B, and C have started an auction. A inputs 50,000 yen as a limit price from the terminal device ((1)). (The circled numbers in the drawings are described below in parentheses in the text.) A has entered 50,000 yen because the Internet auction system has been frequently used in the past. In addition, the server apparatus evaluates the result of A, adds 10,000 yen, and presents it as a limit of 60,000 yen. B looks at this price and decides to take a quiet look at the auction ((2)). C likes this computer if not as much as A, and inputs 70,000 yen, which is 10,000 yen higher than A, from the terminal device ((3)). C is also evaluated for use of this net auction system, and there is an additional 5,000 yen from the server device. By observing the movement of the bid amount and presenting a limit of 100,000 yen all at once, A was a strategy to lose the motivation of other net auction system users ((4)). From the past usage record of A, the server device increased by 20,000 yen to 120,000 yen. C, who did not have the willingness to purchase, decided to get off this auction ((5)). As described above, this system having the feature of adding an amount of money to the limit price is a system that increases the incentive to participate in the online auction and provides a service that activates the online auction.

    <Description of Configuration of Embodiment 1>

  The “camera device” is arranged so as to be able to photograph an article placed at a predetermined position. The predetermined position is a place where the article is displayed in the auction hall. “Arranged so as to be photographable” means that the image information of the article is arranged at a position where it can be acquired by the camera device. For example, the camera device may be placed on a desk, or may be installed on a ceiling or a wall. Moreover, there may be a plurality of camera devices. Further, one or a plurality of camera devices may be driven and controlled from a plurality of terminal devices.

  The “camera device” includes a video information acquisition unit and a drive control signal acquisition unit.

  The “video information acquisition unit” has a function of acquiring video information that is video information of the article. The video information of an article refers to video information that shows a detailed state regarding an article to be auctioned. This refers to video information sufficient to determine the purchase of an article. Therefore, it is necessary to have a predetermined resolution. It is desirable that the camera device has a resolution of such a degree that a scratch on the article or a texture of the article is reproduced. In addition, the camera device desirably has a zoom function, a pan function, and a tilt function. Further, it is desirable that the zoom is an optical system zoom. Further, it is desirable that the focus function has both automatic and manual in order to focus on the part of the article that the net auction system user wants to see.

  The “drive control signal acquisition unit” has a function of acquiring a drive control signal for moving itself relative to the article. The “drive” of the camera device is a drive related to zoom, pan, tilt, and focus. Therefore, the drive control signal refers to a signal that can drive and control zoom, pan, tilt, and focus. “Move itself relative to the article” means that it does not move independently of the article. That is, the camera device is driven in order to acquire video information related to the article.

  The “terminal device” includes a browsing unit, a drive control signal output unit, a limit information input unit, a user identification information acquisition unit, and a user limit information output unit.

  The “browsing unit” has a function for browsing video information output from the video information output unit of the server device. The video information is video information of a plurality of camera devices. Video information to be viewed may be selected from video information of a plurality of camera devices. Moreover, in the browsing part, when there exists a camera device which can be drive-controlled, the camera device may be able to be selected. The browsing unit may be a monitor of the terminal device. When the camera device sends out a 3D video device, a monitor corresponding to the device may be used.

  The “drive control signal output unit” has a function of outputting a drive control signal of a camera device that acquires video information being browsed by the browsing unit. In the present embodiment, the camera device is not driven according to the drive control signal output from the drive control signal output unit. The camera device is driven in accordance with a priority drive control signal selected from drive control signals from a plurality of terminals. The drive control signal output unit may use a cursor or the like, or may use a dedicated drive control signal output device. Any device that generates a drive control signal may be used as long as it can control functions such as zoom, pan, tilt, and focus.

  The “user identification information acquisition unit” acquires user identification information that is information for identifying a net auction system user. In addition, there is user attribute information corresponding to this user identification information, and past usage history information and the like are held in addition to the personal information of the user.

  The “user limit information output unit” includes user limit information that is information that associates the limit information input to the limit information input unit with the user identification information acquired by the user identification information acquisition unit. A function of outputting to the server device; Among the user limit information, the associated user identification information is necessary for referring to the usage history of the net auction system user when changing the limit information in the limit information changing unit described later. Information. That is, the user limit information is necessary for determining the magnitude of the change that changes the limit information by referring to the past use history of the user based on the user identification information. is there.

  The “server device” includes a video information output unit, a drive control signal acquisition unit, a priority drive control signal selection unit, a drive control signal transmission unit, a user limit information acquisition unit, and a limit information change unit.

  The “video information output unit” has a function of enabling the terminal device to browse the video information acquired by the video information acquisition unit of the camera device. The video information output unit may or may not store the video information acquired by the video information acquisition unit of the camera device in a server. When storing video information in the server, for example, when the auction system user stores video information browsed in the past and another auction system user wants to view the video information of the article, the auction system user If the is selected, the history of the stored video information may be browsed. Further, the stored video information may be used as marketing information. That is, by statistically processing the video information history of the auction system user, marketing information such as what part of the article the auction system user is paying attention to can be obtained. The video information output unit outputs video information that can be browsed to the terminal device to the terminal device. The video information output unit outputs the same video information to the browsing units of the plurality of terminal devices. The browsing unit of the terminal device may be configured so that the viewer can select whether or not to browse the video information.

  The “drive control signal acquisition unit” has a function of acquiring a drive control signal of a camera device that acquires video information being browsed by the browsing unit from the plurality of terminal devices. The browser outputs a drive control signal from the terminal device to the server device in accordance with the video information of the browsing unit of the terminal device. A server apparatus acquires the drive control signal output from the said terminal device in a drive control signal acquisition part. The reason for acquiring the drive control signal in the server device is that when the camera device directly receives drive control signals from a plurality of terminal devices simultaneously, the plurality of drive control signals interfere with each other. It is because it becomes impossible to control. For this purpose, a drive control signal to be prioritized by the server device is selected, and the camera device is driven by this drive control signal.

  The “priority drive control signal selection unit” selects a priority drive control signal that is a drive signal to be preferentially processed from among the drive control signals acquired by the drive control signal acquisition unit. A feature of the present invention resides in a priority drive control signal selection unit included in the server device. The drive signal to be preferentially processed means a drive signal to be preferentially processed among the drive control signals acquired almost simultaneously by the drive control signal acquisition unit. Further, a priority rule for the drive control signal is determined by the server device, and the priority drive control signal is selected according to the rule. For example, as an example, there is a method of randomly selecting one of a plurality of drive control signals simultaneously acquired by the drive control signal acquisition unit. Specifically, a method may be used in which a random number is assigned to the drive control signal and the lowest number among them is selected as the priority drive control signal.

  The priority drive control signal is a signal having priority. This priority means a drive control signal that is processed with priority, but this drive control signal can have the following four patterns of priority. Needless to say, the concept of priority is not limited to the following four patterns, and various forms are possible.

  (Pattern 1) While the camera device is being driven from the moment when one of the drive control signals of the plurality of auction system users is selected as the priority drive control signal, and for a certain period of time after the drive of the camera device is stopped That there is a priority. The fixed time after the driving of the camera device is stopped is, for example, a time for giving priority for the purpose of browsing the video information after driving. After this time, the priority is lost.

  (Pattern 2) The auction system user who is the output person of the selected priority drive control signal for a certain period from the moment when one of the drive control signals of the plurality of auction system users is selected as the priority drive control signal. Can freely drive the camera device. In this case, the priority right is lost after a certain period of time.

  (Pattern 3) The priority is set according to the number of operations. That is, after being selected as the priority drive control signal, the number of times that the drive control signal is sent reaches the specified number of times, the last priority drive control signal is further transmitted, and the driving by the priority drive control signal of the camera device is completed After a certain period of time, priority is lost. For example, if it is allowed up to three times, a drive control signal is output three times, such as zoom 30 times, pan right 30 degrees, tilt up 10 degrees, and this priority drive with the last tilt up 10 degrees. The priority is lost 10 seconds after the camera device completes this driving in response to the control signal.

  (Pattern 4) From the moment when one of the drive control signals of a plurality of auction system users is selected as the priority drive control signal until the operation is stopped and after the operation is further stopped The priority is lost after a certain period of time. The priority is not lost while the operation is continuously performed.

  When the drive control signal from the terminal device is acquired from only one terminal device, the drive control signal from this terminal device becomes the priority drive control signal.

  Further, as an application mode of the present embodiment, the priority drive control signal selection unit selects a user limit information dependent priority drive control signal that performs the selection based on the user limit information acquired by the user limit information acquisition unit. There is a net camera auction system having means. This is because the selection by the priority drive signal selection unit is selected depending on the user limit information, and as a pattern, a net auction participant (use of the article) from the limit indicated by the user limit information. A pattern in which the priority drive control signal is selected based on the order is considered. Among these, when giving priority to control of the camera to the participant (user) of the lowest-ranked net auction, the user limit information dependent priority drive signal selection means is the user limit A net camera auction system for selecting a drive control signal of a net auction system user whose limit indicated by the information is a limit lower than the limit indicated by the user limit information of another net auction system user as a priority drive control signal It only has to be constructed. The purpose of this is to give an opportunity to observe articles well because there is room for the price to rise as the net auction participants (users) with lower limit orders. It should be noted that it is effective to select the second person from the top without selecting the net auction participant with the lowest limit ranking and use the drive control signal of that person as the priority drive control signal. Basically, the auction limit price will rise between the first place and the second place.

  In order to select the priority drive control signal selection unit based on the limit information of the net auction participant (user), the user identification information associated with the user limit information and the drive control signal are associated. What is necessary is just to perform processing by linking with the user identification information.

  The “drive control signal sending unit” sends the priority drive control signal selected by the priority drive control signal selection unit to the camera device. Only one drive control signal is selected by the priority drive control signal selection unit of the server device, and this drive control signal is sent to the camera device, and the camera device is driven based on this signal. Thus, the camera device does not become inoperable due to a plurality of drive control signals interfering with each other.

  The “user limit information acquisition unit” has a function of acquiring the user limit information output from the user limit information output unit of the terminal device. The user limit information is as described above.

  The “limit price information changing unit” has a function of changing the limit price information based on user identification information of the user limit price information. This change is to change the limit information based on the past use history of the user. For example, in a net auction system user who purchases many items through the net auction system, the limit information is changed upward. In addition, although the net auction system is often used, when the purchase is not made, the limit information is modified downward. That is, the limit information is corrected upward or downward based on the usage history of the net auction system user. Various patterns can be considered as criteria for changing the limit information.

  (Pattern 1) The limit information is changed according to the number of times of participation in the net camera auction system for a certain period in the past (for example, the most recent year). For example, one participation in an auction for one item is counted as one time. The total number of participations is counted.

  (Pattern 2) The limit information is changed according to the participation time of the network camera auction system for a certain period in the past (for example, the most recent year). This is the total time spent participating in the net camera auction system. The connection time may be counted.

  (Pattern 3) The limit information is changed according to the total time during which the camera is not operated when participating in the net camera auction system during a past fixed period (for example, the latest one year). This counts the time when the camera is connected to the net camera auction system but the camera is not operated.

  (Pattern 4) The limit information is changed according to the total time during which the camera is operated when participating in the net camera auction system for a certain period in the past (for example, the most recent year). This counts the total time during which the camera is operated while connected to the net camera auction system.

  In addition, regarding the change of limit information, various patterns are conceivable for the method of changing the limit information, that is, the premium method. One is to add a certain percentage of the total purchase amount of net auction system users over the past year. For example, the fixed ratio is a numerical value such as 1%. Of course, other numerical values may be used. Further, as another premium method, an amount corresponding to the ranking may be increased.

    <Description of Specific Functions of Embodiment 1>

  FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining specific functions of the first embodiment. This is a case where a process for adding an amount of money is performed when the limit information is changed.

  In the browsing unit of the terminal device “001” 0903, the video information of the notebook personal computer by one camera device 0902 is displayed on the monitor. In order to view an image obtained by enlarging the video information 40 times with zoom, a drive control signal is output from the drive control signal output unit to the drive control signal acquisition unit of the server device 0904. The drive signal control signal acquisition unit of the server device acquires drive control signals 0905 from a plurality of terminal devices. From the terminal device A, the zoom is 40 times, from the terminal device B, the tilt is 20 degrees, and from the terminal device C, the zoom is 5 times. The priority drive control signal selection unit of the server device selects the drive control signal 0906 to be prioritized from the drive control signals from the plurality of terminal devices acquired from the drive control signal acquisition unit. For example, the zoom 5 times of the terminal device C is selected. The drive control signal sending unit sends a drive control signal of 5 × zoom to the drive control signal acquisition unit of the camera device. The drive control signal acquisition unit of the camera apparatus acquires the drive control signal of 5 times the zoom, and sets the zoom of the camera to 5 times accordingly. The video information acquisition unit acquires the video information of 5 times the zoom, and outputs the video information to the browsing unit of the terminal device via the video information output unit of the server device.

  On the other hand, when the video device is viewed, the auction starts, but the limit information is input from the limit information input unit. For example, in terminal device A0903, limit information 10000 yen is input. Next, in the user identification information acquisition unit, user identification information using the terminal device A is acquired. In this example, UID (= USER ID) = 001. The acquisition of the user identification information may be that the user inputs his / her user identification number to the terminal device. If the user has already logged in to the system, the login number and password The user number may be searched and acquired from the above. In terminal device B, the limit information is 5000 yen and UID = 002, and in terminal device C, the limit information is 7000 yen and UID = 003. The user identification number is associated with the limit information (0907). In the user limit information acquisition unit, information 0908 in which the user identification number is associated with the limit information is acquired. In the limit information changing section, after the limit information is input, the limit information is changed (0909). The limit information is changed based on the user identification information. For example, a past use history, that is, a purchase history is referred to. Note that the limit information changing unit holds a past purchase history 3002 and a table 3001 relating to a calculation result for changing limit information as shown in FIG. In this example, the net auction system user with UID = 001 considers that the purchase history is 0, and does not change the limit information. As for the user with UID = 002, as shown in the past purchase history of FIG. 30, since the user has purchased 50,000 yen in the past, the limit price change unit changes the initial limit information to 5000 yen. This is changed, 200 yen / 10,000 yen × 50,000 yen = 1000 yen is added, and the limit information is changed to 6000 yen. The net auction user with UID = 003 is the user with the largest purchase amount, and the past purchase amount is 200,000 yen as shown in FIG. Therefore, 200 yen / 10,000 yen × 200,000 yen = 4000 yen is added to the limit information 7000 yen, resulting in 11000 yen. As a result, in the limit information, UID = 001 has the largest amount of money, but after changing the limit information, UID = 003 has the largest limit information, and the order is reversed.

  FIG. 10 shows another specific example of the first embodiment. This is a case where the amount of money is reduced when the limit information is changed.

  In addition, about a present Example, since a process is common about the drive of the said Example and a camera apparatus, description is abbreviate | omitted.

  The auction starts when the video device is viewed, but the limit information is input from the limit information input unit. For example, in terminal device A, limit information 8000 yen is input. Next, in the user identification information acquisition unit, user identification information using the terminal device A is acquired. In this example, UID (= USER ID) = 001. The acquisition of the user identification information may be that the user inputs his / her user identification number to the terminal device. If the user has already logged in to the system, the login number and password The user number may be searched and acquired from the above. In terminal device B, limit information is 6000 yen and UID = 002, and in terminal device C, limit information is 7000 yen and UID = 003. In the limit information changing unit, the limit information is changed after the limit information is input. The limit information is changed based on the user identification information. This embodiment is a so-called deduction method. For example, the amount is reduced by the total number of days when the net camera auction system is not used. The limit information changing unit holds a table 3101 as shown in FIG. In this example, the net auction system user with UID = 001 is the first time to use the net camera auction system, so the limit information is subtracted 4000 yen, and the limit information after the change is 4000 yen. In addition, the net auction system user with UID = 002 has been using it for 178 days, so the amount to be reduced has decreased, and has been reduced by 1000 yen to 5000 yen. Also, since the net auction user with UID = 003 is the same as the net auction system user with UID = 002, the net auction user with UID = 003 is 1000 yen less than the limit information of 7000 yen. It will be 6000 yen. As a result, in the limit information, UID = 001 has the largest amount of money, but after the limit information is changed, UID = 002 and UID = 003 are reversed, and the limit information of UID = 003 is the largest. .

    <Processing flow of Embodiment 1>

  Since the processing flow of the first embodiment has already been described in detail with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7, the description thereof is omitted here.

    <Effect of Embodiment 1>

  According to the first embodiment, by selecting one drive control signal from drive control signals acquired from a plurality of terminals, it is possible to avoid malfunction or inoperability of the camera device due to mutual interference of the plurality of drive control devices. . As a result, it is possible to smoothly advance the auction through the network. Also, after browsing this video information, after the net auction system user inputs a limit, the limit information is changed on the server device side based on the user identification information, and finally the changed limit information There is an effect that an online auction can be carried out.

  << Embodiment 2 >>

    <Concept of Embodiment 2>

  11 and 12 are diagrams showing the concept of the second embodiment.

  In the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, one article is viewed with one camera device. Here, a plurality of camera devices are connected to the server device, and there may be one article corresponding to each camera device. Alternatively, there may be a plurality of articles in one camera device.

  The conceptual diagram of FIG. 11 particularly relates to changing the limit price information based on past drive control signals. The net auction system user A decides to purchase a computer without operating the camera device, that is, without outputting a drive control signal. On the other hand, B is troubled to see nearly 30 minutes. B outputs a drive control signal for nearly 30 minutes. Further, C is determined after looking at about 10 minutes, and thus outputs a drive control signal for nearly 10 minutes. In the present embodiment, in order to change the limit information based on the past drive control signal, an old drive control signal is also acquired. As a result, the auction proceeds as shown in the conceptual diagram of FIG.

  Net Auction system user A first presents limit information 50,000 yen ((1)). This limit information is immediately acquired by the server device, and based on the result of referring to the past drive control signal of the net auction system user A, the limit information is changed by the limit information changing unit to be 60,000 yen. This means that 10,000 yen was added because the drive control signal was often output. The net auction system user B sees the value of 60,000 yen and presents 70,000 yen as a limit ((2)). Since the net auction system user B has not used the drive control signal in the past, the additional amount is 0 yen. Net auction system user C puts this 70,000 yen numerical value, but felt that it was a little expensive, so he presented limit information of 75,000 yen, which was 5,000 yen higher ((3)). Since the net auction system user C sometimes output a drive control signal, an amount of 5,000 yen was added. Net auction system user A always wants this notebook computer, so he presented limit information here at 100,000 yen, twice the original ((4)). 20,000 yen was added to this figure, and it became 120,000 yen after the limit information was changed. Net auction system user C gave up bidding because this amount was impossible ((5)).

    <Description of Configuration of Embodiment 2>

  The camera device includes a video information acquisition unit and a drive control signal acquisition unit, and the browsing unit, limit information input unit, user identification information acquisition unit, and user limit information output of the terminal device. A video information output unit, a user limit information acquisition unit, a drive control signal acquisition unit, a priority drive control signal selection unit, and a drive control of the server device. Since the basic functions of the signal transmission unit are the same as those of the first embodiment, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  The “limit price information changing unit” of the server device further includes “driving control signal dependent limit information changing means”. The “drive control signal dependent limit information changing unit” has a function of changing the limit price information based on a past drive control signal acquired by the drive control signal acquisition unit. “Based on past drive control signals” has various patterns.

  (Pattern 1) Based on the number of times that a drive control signal was output in the net camera auction system for a certain period in the past (for example, the most recent year).

  (Pattern 2) When based on the sum of the time during which the drive control signal is output in the net camera auction system for a certain past period (for example, the most recent year).

(Pattern 3) A case where it is based on the sum of times during which no drive control signal is output in the net camera auction system during a past fixed period (for example, the latest one year).
The above is a typical pattern.

  “Changing the limit information based on a past drive control signal” means changing the limit information based on any of the above, or based on other patterns, if any. It is. Regarding the change of the limit price information, since a typical example is described in the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted here.

    <Description of Specific Functions of Embodiment 2>

  FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining specific functions of the second embodiment.

  The camera device includes a video information acquisition unit and a drive control signal acquisition unit, and the browsing unit, limit information input unit, user identification information acquisition unit, and user limit information output of the terminal device. A video information output unit, a user limit information acquisition unit, a drive control signal acquisition unit, a priority drive control signal selection unit, and a drive control of the server device. Since the basic functions of the signal transmission unit are the same as those of the first embodiment, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  The limit price information changing unit changes the limit price information based on the past drive control signal. For example, in the example of FIG. 14, the limit price information is changed based on the number of past output times of the drive control signal acquired by the drive control signal acquisition unit. As shown in FIG. 32, the limit price information changing unit holds a history of the number of output times of drive control signals in past auctions and a table 3202 in which the total number of output times is obtained. In addition, a table 3201 described below is described. For example, for a net auction user with UID = 001, the limit information is 10000 yen, but since the past drive control signal output is 0, the drive control signal dependent limit information changing means has UID = 001. The limit price information is not changed. Further, the past drive control signal output of the net auction system user with UID = 002 is 100 times. The drive control signal dependent limit information changing means adds 40 yen / time × 100 times = 4000 yen to add 40 yen per time, and the changed limit information becomes 9000 yen. Further, since the past drive control signal output of the net auction system user with UID = 003 is 25 times, the drive control signal dependent limit information changing means calculates the amount of 40 yen / time × 25 times = 1000 yen. In addition, the post-change limit information is 8000 yen.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram for explaining specific functions of the second embodiment.

Since the basic functions of the signal transmission unit are the same as those of the first embodiment, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  In contrast to the above-described embodiment, the present embodiment is a case where a process for subtracting a predetermined amount from the limit price is performed based on the number of times the past drive control signal has been output. This idea is to reflect this in limit information because the amount of information processing on the server side increases as the time to drive the camera increases. As shown in FIG. 33, the limit price information changing unit holds, as a table, output count 3302 of drive control signals in past auctions and a formula 3301 for calculating data necessary for calculating post-change limit price information. ing. In addition, a calculation formula for the subtraction amount using the total number of times of output is described. For example, for a net auction user with UID = 001, the limit information is 10000 yen, but since the past drive control signal output is 0, the drive control signal dependent limit information changing means has UID = 001. The limit price information is not changed. The past drive control signal output of the net auction system user with UID = 002 is 100 times. The drive control signal dependent limit information changing means subtracts an amount of 40 yen / time × 100 times = 4000 yen to subtract 40 yen per time, and the changed limit information becomes 1000 yen. Further, since the past drive control signal output of the net auction system user with UID = 003 is 25 times, the drive control signal dependent limit information changing means calculates the amount of 40 yen / time × 25 times = 1000 yen. By subtracting, the initial limit price is 7000 yen, and the changed limit price information is 6000 yen.

  The limit price information changing unit changes the limit price information 1908 related to the article based on the priority drive control signal 1906 related to the article. In the example of FIG. 19, for example, based on a priority drive control signal related to an article, a priority drive control signal is selected by a priority drive control signal selection unit for one article, and the priority described in the first embodiment is used. In other words, it may be based on the cumulative value of time until loss. That is, the longer the cumulative value of the time with priority, the greater the value added to the limit information. Alternatively, the longer the accumulated value of the time with priority, the smaller the value added to the limit information. Either may be sufficient. Here, consider the former case. For example, for a net auction user with UID = 001, the limit information is 10000 yen, but the time during which the priority has priority is 0, the drive control signal dependent limit information changing means The limit information of 001 is not changed. Further, the accumulated time during which the net auction system user with UID = 002 has priority is 100 minutes.

For example, for a net auction user with UID = 001, the limit information is 10000 yen, but the accumulated time of the priority drive control signal history information which is past history information having priority is 0. Therefore, the drive control signal dependent limit information changing means does not change the limit information of UID = 001. In addition, the accumulated time is 100 minutes in the priority drive control signal history information that is the history information that the net auction system user with UID = 002 has priority. The drive control signal-dependent limit information changing means adds 40 yen / minute × 100 minutes = 4000 yen to add 40 yen per minute, and the changed limit information becomes 9000 yen. Further, since the accumulated time of the priority drive control signal history information which is the history information of the past having the priority of the net auction system user with UID = 003 is 25 minutes, it depends on the drive control signal.

  The limit price information changing unit is based on the priority drive control signal history information which is past history information of the priority drive control signal, in this embodiment, based on the integral value of the drive amount calculated based on the priority drive control signal. Change the limit information about. In the example of FIG. 23, for example, the priority drive control signal history information may be a cumulative value of the rotational speed of the drive motor. As the cumulative value of the rotational speed of the drive motor increases, the value added to the limit price information increases. Alternatively, the larger the cumulative value of the rotational speed of the drive motor, the smaller the value added to the limit information. Either may be sufficient. Here, consider the former case. As shown in FIG. 35, the limit price information changing unit holds a table 3502 in which the number of rotations of the drive motor and its accumulated value in past auctions are described. The calculated value of the amount of addition using the cumulative value of the rotational speed of the drive motor described below is also described in the table 3501. For example, for a net auction user with UID = 001, the limit information is 10000 yen, but since the cumulative value of the rotational speed of the drive motor is 0, the drive control signal dependent limit information changing means has UID = 001. The limit price information is not changed. The cumulative value of the rotational speed of the drive motor of the net auction system user with UID = 002 is 1000 revolutions. In order to add 4 yen per rotation, the drive control signal dependent limit information changing means adds an amount of 4 yen / rotation × 1000 rotations = 4000 yen, and the post-change limit information becomes 9000 yen. Furthermore, since the cumulative value of the number of rotations of the drive motor of the net auction system user with UID = 003 is 250 rotations, the drive control signal dependent limit information changing means is 4 yen / rotation × 250 rotations = 1000 yen. By adding the amount, the changed limit information is 8000 yen.

  Further, although not shown, another example of the present embodiment may be a net camera auction system that subtracts limit value information based on a cumulative value of the rotational speed of the drive motor.
