One example will be described below. First, the client 140 registers MySpot such as its own address and work address from the central point information screen via the operation screen displayed using the screen information received from the portal server 110 (details of FIG. 9 will be described later). Search information including information (refer to description) information and property search conditions (refer to the description of FIG. 10 described later for details) and the like is transmitted to the portal server 110. Based on the sent information such as MySpot registration information and property search conditions, a search is performed in the database in the portal server 110, the property information that matches the MySpot registration information and property search conditions, and the location where this property information exists The map information is transmitted to the client 140, and the user's desired property is displayed together with information desired to be met, although the user does not directly specify the search condition. Hereinafter, description of the processing will be described for each step shown in FIG.

  In S101, the CPU 201 of the client 140 designates the URL of the portal server 110 and activates the program via the operation screen displayed by HTML transmitted from the return portal server 110. Specifically, when an event indicating that the “Property Search” button is pressed on an operation screen (not shown) is detected, initial screen startup information indicating that the property search is started (including information that can specify screen display information) ) To the portal server 110. The operation screen on the client 140 side in the following processing is mainly assumed to be a browser, but may be a dedicated client screen. In S201, the CPU 201 of the portal server 110 receives the initial screen activation information and stores it in the work area of the RAM 203, and the process proceeds to step S202.

  In S <b> 202, the CPU 201 of the portal server 110 reads the search screen display information corresponding to the initial screen activation information stored in the work area of the RAM 203 from the external memory (HD) 211 and transmits it to the client 140.

  In S102, the CPU 201 of the client 140 stores the received search screen display information in the work area of the RAM 203, and uses the search screen display information stored in the work area of the RAM 203 to display the TOP screen (FIG. 3) of the property search system. The display process proceeds to step S103.

  In S103, the CPU 201 of the client 140 displays the center point (the operator's commuting addresses 301 and 302, the property of the operator) on the map display showing the search result on the TOP screen (FIG. 3) of the displayed property search system. Entering the station or line 303 you are looking for, regional information 304 to specify the area you are looking for, and at least one of specific types of facilities such as hospitals and schools (not shown) Property conditions (property type specifying apartment 306 or apartment 307, rent (From308 to To309, unit 10,000 yen / month), area (From310 to To311, unit square meter), floor plan (From 312 to To313, for example, 2R to 3LDK, etc.) ) Waits for at least one of the inputs, and if there is an input, RAM 2 The property condition for the property search is stored in the property condition storage region in the work area of the RAM 203. The “Next” button 314 is pressed in FIG. When this is detected, the process proceeds to S105, and when the pressing of the registration button 305 is detected, the process proceeds to the process of Fig. 9. The registration process of the central point in S103 will be described in detail later with reference to the flowchart of Fig. 9.

  In S105, the CPU 201 of the client 140 determines whether or not at least one of the property conditions is input or selected on the screen of FIG. 3. If it is determined that the property is input or selected, the process proceeds to S104, and both input and selection are performed. If it is determined that the process has not been performed, the process returns to S103.

  In S104, when the CPU 201 of the client 140 further detects an additional input in the property search conditions (property type, rent, area, floor plan), the input additional condition is stored in the property condition storage area of the work area of the RAM 203, When it is detected that the “Next” button 314 is pressed, the screen shown in FIG. 4 is read from the hard disk of the external memory 211 and displayed, and the process proceeds to S106.
