The successful bid processing unit 14 executes a process for determining the winning bidder for each auction identified by the application ID.
The successful bid processing unit 14 refers to the bid information storage unit 13 and determines a successful bidder based on bid information received by a predetermined bid reception time. The winning bidder can be determined, for example, to the person who presented the highest assessment amount.

The communication processing unit 15 is a processing unit that performs data transmission / reception processing in accordance with a predetermined protocol via the customer terminal 2, the bidder terminal 3, and the store terminal 4 and a network NW such as the Internet, such as a web browser It is realized by.
For example, the communication processing unit 15 can receive an application for an auction from the customer terminal 2 or receive bid information from the bidder terminal 3.

The customer terminal 2 is a terminal used by a customer who wants to sell a vehicle.
This customer terminal 2 includes a so-called personal computer, a mobile phone, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistance), etc., and displays a website for accepting an auction application or inputs application information for an auction from the website. And a web browser for executing data transmission / reception processing with the intermediary processing device 1 via a network NW such as the Internet.

The bidder terminal 3 is a terminal used by a bidder who bids for an auction. In this example, the bidder is assumed to be a purchaser who purchases a vehicle from a customer.
The bidder terminal 3 is constituted by a so-called personal computer or the like, and mediates through a network NW such as a display, a keyboard, and the Internet as input / output means for displaying information brought into the vehicle and inputting bid information. A web browser for executing data transmission / reception processing with the processing device 1 is provided.

  The store terminal 4 is a terminal installed in a store as a predetermined designated place where a vehicle is brought in by a customer for assessment by a bidder. In this example, the store is assumed to be a gas station or a service station, a store of a car dealer who can be a bidder, and the like. This is due to the fact that vehicles brought in for assessment can be deposited for a certain period of time and the customer who owns the vehicle has a chance to stop in connection with the use of the vehicle, but not necessarily at these gas stations, It is not limited to service stations or car dealer stores.

  The store terminal 4 is constituted by a so-called personal computer or the like, and displays input / output information for displaying vehicle carry-in information or inputting carry-in confirmation information for confirming that a vehicle has been brought in by a customer. A display, a keyboard, and a web browser for executing data transmission / reception processing with the intermediary processing device 1 via a network NW such as the Internet are provided.

Subsequently, a flow of a series of processes in the vehicle transaction brokerage processing system using the brokerage processing apparatus according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
First, the customer accesses the intermediary processing apparatus 1 from a website or the like that accepts an application for the intermediary processing system by using the customer terminal 2, and applies for a vehicle auction (S101).

Here, FIG. 7 shows a configuration example of a website for a customer to apply for an auction (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “application site”).
On the application site, a customer information input field 101 for inputting customer information of a customer who is an applicant, a vehicle information input field 102 for inputting vehicle information related to a vehicle that the customer wants to sell, and a vehicle for assessment. A carry-in store designation input field 103 for designating and inputting carry-in store information as a designated place to bring in, a carry-in time designation input field 104 for designating and inputting carry-in time information of a car to the carry-in store, An application button 105 is provided for determining an application for an auction with information input in each input field.

When the customer inputs customer information, vehicle information, carry-in store information, and carry-in time information in the input fields 101, 102, 103, and 104 on the application site, the customer presses the application button 105.
In response, application information including customer information, vehicle information, carry-in store information, and carry-in time information is transmitted from the customer terminal 2 to the intermediary processing device 1 along with an auction application (S101).

  Upon receiving the new auction application information from the customer terminal 2, the mediation processing device 1 issues an application ID for the application, and then, for the application ID, the customer information, vehicle information, The in-store information and carry-in time information are associated with each other and registered in the application information storage unit 12 (S102).

  When an application for a new auction is registered, the intermediary processing device 1 sends the bidder terminal 3 vehicle information, bring-in store information, and customer information out of the information included in the application information together with the application ID, and Carry-in time information is transmitted as carry-in information (S103).

At the same time, the carry-in information is transmitted to the store terminal 4 in order to grasp the carry-in information in the store (S104).
Unlike the bidder terminal 3, customer information may be transmitted to the store terminal 4 in addition to the carry-in information. In addition, since the store does not bid for the auction, it is only necessary to know when the vehicle is brought in, so the application ID may or may not be transmitted.

The customer brings the vehicle to a store as a designated place in accordance with a carry-in time designated in advance (S105).
At the store where the customer confirms that the vehicle has been brought in, the store terminal 4 transmits carry-in confirmation information indicating that the vehicle has been brought into the brokerage processing device 1 (S106). When transmitting the carry-in confirmation information, it is preferable to transmit the application ID and the like together so that the mediation processing device 1 can identify the target auction.

  The mediation processing apparatus 1 that has received the carry-in confirmation information from the store terminal 4 transmits the carry-in confirmation information to the bidder terminal 3 (S107). Also in this case, it is preferable to transmit the application ID and the like together so that the bidder can identify the target auction.

The bidder receives the carry-in confirmation information from the mediation processing device 1 by the bidder terminal 3, thereby confirming that the vehicle has actually been brought into the store, and visits the store to evaluate the vehicle (S108). ).
The bidder who has actually confirmed the vehicle at the store makes a bid by transmitting the appraisal information for the vehicle together with the application ID and the bidder ID (S109).

  When the brokerage processing device 1 receives the appraisal amount information for the vehicle together with the application ID from the bidder terminal 3, it accepts this as a bid by the bidder and correlates the application ID, the bidder ID, and the appraisal amount information. Register in the bid information storage unit 13 (S110).

The intermediary processing device 1 accepts bids from the bidder terminal 3 until a bid acceptance deadline for a predetermined auction, and closes the bid when the acceptance deadline arrives (S111).
The deadline for accepting bids is not limited to the arrival of a predetermined time limit, and may be closed by bidding with a predetermined assessment amount.

When the bid is closed, the successful bid processing unit 14 refers to the bid information storage unit 13 and determines a successful bidder from among bidders (S112).
For example, the successful bidder is determined by selecting a bidder who has made a bid presenting the highest assessed value among bids registered in the bid information storage unit 13 as a successful bidder.

  The successful bid processing unit 14 further extracts customer information of the customer who applied for the auction determined by the successful bidder from the application information storage unit 12 and then the bidder terminal 3 of the bidder determined as the successful bidder by the communication processing unit 15. In response, information indicating that the bidder has made a successful bid and customer information are transmitted (S113). Here, the customer information provided to the successful bidder has a property as a purchase negotiation right for directly contacting the customer and purchasing a vehicle from the customer.

  The bidder who has made a successful bid can contact the customer based on the customer information received from the intermediary processing apparatus 1 and negotiate the purchase of the vehicle exhibited in the auction. If the negotiation is successful as a result of the purchase negotiation, a vehicle sales contract is concluded between the customer and the successful bidder.

According to the above-described embodiment, the vehicle owner has brought the vehicle exhibited in the auction to a predetermined designated place, and the bidder can directly check the state of the vehicle at the designated place and make an assessment. it can. Therefore, a bid is made with an appraisal value based on a more appropriate evaluation.
In addition, only after the successful bidder is determined, only the successful bidder is provided with the information of the customer who exhibited the vehicle in the auction, so that personal information can be prevented from being distributed more than necessary. In addition, customers do not have to worry about business calls from many buyers.

In the above embodiment, when the winning bidder is determined, the customer information is transmitted to the bidder terminal 3 of the bidder determined as the winning bidder. May be inquired of whether customer information can be provided.
The processing flow in this case is shown in FIG. In FIG. 8, the process from the application for the auction from the customer terminal 2 to the determination of the winning bidder is the same as the process flow from S101 to S112 described with reference to FIG.

When the successful bidder is determined in the process of S112, inquiry information for inquiring whether the customer information can be provided to the successful bidder together with the successful bidder determination information indicating that the successful bidder has been determined from the mediation processing device 1 to the customer terminal 2. Is transmitted (S121).
The successful bidder determination information may include information related to the successful bidder stored in the bidder information storage unit 11 and information related to the bid stored in the bid information storage unit 13. .

In response to this, the customer considers whether or not to provide customer information, and then transmits a reply about whether or not to provide to the mediation processing device 1 (S122).
The mediation processing device 1 executes a process based on the content of the reply about whether or not to provide the customer information received from the customer terminal 2 (S123).
That is, if provision of customer information is not permitted, a series of processing is terminated by notifying the successful bidder of a message to that effect (S124).

On the other hand, when the provision of customer information is permitted, the customer information of the customer is extracted from the application information storage unit 12 by the successful bid processing unit 14, and the bidder who has been determined as the successful bidder by the communication processing unit 15 is extracted. Information indicating that the bidder has made a successful bid and customer information are transmitted to the bidder terminal 3 (S113).
In this way, once the successful bidder is determined, the customer can be provided with customer information as to whether or not customer information can be provided.

  In the present embodiment, once a successful bidder is determined, the customer is inquired about whether or not to provide customer information. However, a bidder who permits bidding for an auction is registered in advance for each customer. It may be a thing. In this case, only the bidder terminal 3 of the bidder who is permitted to bid is sent the application ID and carry-in information of the auction by the customer, or the bid by the registered bidder is restricted. By doing so, the customer is prevented from winning a bid by an undesired bidder.

  In the above embodiment, the store is designated as the predetermined designated place where the vehicle is brought in. However, if the place where the vehicle is deposited can be secured, it can be at the customer's home or a parking lot. Good. However, in the case of the customer's home, the customer terminal 1 can also serve as the store terminal 4, but in the case of a parking lot or the like, a terminal corresponding to the store terminal 4 cannot always be prepared, and the carry-in confirmation information is sent and received. Sometimes not.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when there is an application for an auction, carry-in information is transmitted from the mediation processing device 1 to the bidder terminal 3, so that the bidder knows when and where the vehicle is brought in. However, when the intermediary processing device 1 receives the carry-in confirmation information from the store terminal 4, the carry-in information may be transmitted to the bidder terminal 3 together with the carry-in confirmation information.

  In the present embodiment, the case where the target of the auction is purchase negotiation right to negotiate with the customer who owns the vehicle to be sold, or customer information necessary for performing the purchase negotiation. Although described, the present invention is not limited to this, and the vehicle itself may be an auction target. In this case, a vehicle sales contract may be established between the customer and the winning bidder at the timing when the bidder showing the highest assessed amount is determined as the winning bidder.

  Also, in this embodiment, the bidder bears the information fee as the consideration for providing the carry-in information of the vehicle, and this is set as the system operating cost, so that the customer does not bear the cost related to the auction, or The system can be operated simply by incurring a minimum cost, and a service with a high degree of satisfaction can be provided to customers.
