  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[Service contents]
FIG. 1 is an image diagram showing an outline of a service (hereinafter, referred to as “this service”) that can be realized by an information processing system including a server 1 which is an embodiment of the information processing apparatus of the present invention.

  This service is a service for centrally managing information on construction machines (hereinafter, referred to as “construction machine information”), including real-time management of the distribution status of construction machines. The user U who uses this service can register information relating to the user U (hereinafter, referred to as “user information”), register construction machine information, change registration contents, register information, and view registered information. Output and the like can be easily performed.

  Specifically, this service is roughly divided into the following three types of services. That is, a service for managing various types of information including registration of various types of information and acceptance of changes (hereinafter, referred to as “management service”) and a service for outputting various types of documents, ledgers, histories, etc. (hereinafter, “output service”) ) And a service that allows the user U to search and browse various information (hereinafter, referred to as “browsing service”).

In the management service, registration / change of various information recorded in various ledgers, registration of construction equipment maintenance history and inspection history (hereinafter referred to as "medical record information"), authority management of construction equipment and user U, acquisition Management of Internet of Things (IoT) data, OCR (Optical Character Recognition), AI (Artificial Intelligence), character information and image information (hereinafter referred to as “scan information”). 3) Services such as authentication are included. The method used for authentication of scan information is not particularly limited. For example, authentication can be performed using AI (artificial intelligence).
Various ledgers include a ledger in which construction machine information is recorded (hereinafter, referred to as “construction machine ledger”), and a ledger in which information relating to the balance of construction equipment leases (hereinafter, referred to as “lease information”) is recorded (hereinafter, “lease information”). , A "lease ledger"), and a ledger on which medical record information is recorded (hereinafter, referred to as a "chart ledger"). Construction machine information, lease information, and chart information can also be managed using a blockchain (distributed ledger technology).
In addition, in various ledgers, ledgers (hereinafter, referred to as “construction machine location information”) in which information on construction machine positions including GPS (Global Positioning System) location information and addresses of construction machines is recorded (hereinafter, “construction machine location information”). Ledger (hereinafter referred to as “scan ledger”), and a ledger in which scan information and its authentication result are recorded (hereinafter, referred to as “scan ledger”). Construction machine position information and scan information can be managed using the IoT.
Each of the construction machine ledger, lease ledger, chart ledger, position ledger, and scan ledger is stored and managed in a later-described construction machine DB 401, lease DB 402, chart DB 403, position DB 404, and scan DB 405, respectively.

  Here, the merits obtained by recording and managing the chart information in the chart register will be described. The chart record clearly records what maintenance and repairs have been taken since the construction machine was manufactured to the present. For this reason, the contents of past maintenance and inspection can be easily confirmed by referring to the medical chart ledger. For this reason, the chart information can be used together with the lease information as ground information for evaluating the present value of the construction machine. Furthermore, since the chart information records not only the contents of maintenance but also the operating time of the construction equipment at the time of maintenance and repair, it is possible to check the appropriateness of the current operating time display, etc. Become. In addition, the medical record information includes annual and periodic inspection records. Construction machinery is required to be inspected by a qualified person once a year, affixed an inspected mark, and to prepare an inspection record table and keep it for a certain period of time according to the provisions of the Industrial Safety and Health Law. However, according to this service, it is possible to centrally manage the vehicle numbers and the like. In other words, the operating time at the time of inspection, the state of the construction machine at the time of inspection, recommended repair and maintenance locations, and the like can be easily confirmed, so that the reliability of the inspection record table can be improved.

  The output service includes outputting various certificates including a certificate relating to the transfer of construction equipment (hereinafter referred to as a “digital transfer certificate”) and other official documents, outputting a list of assets held by the user U, A report on ledgers (construction ledger, lease ledger, chart ledger, location ledger, and scan ledger) and output of a dashboard that collectively displays a plurality of pieces of information, and a third asset other than the user U of the assets held by the user U Services such as output of inquiry history by the user.

The digital transfer certificate is issued by the service provider P, and thereafter, the transferor and the transferee of the construction machine continuously write (data input) in the same manner as the endorsement of the promissory note. Thereby, the owner of the construction machine can be specified accurately.
According to this service, it is possible to prevent or deter illegal trading of construction equipment. In other words, by viewing the digital transfer certificate, (1) the owner of the construction machine is different, (2) the payment has not been completed and the ownership cannot be transferred, (3) troubles such as theft or bankruptcy in the past Can be avoided. Further, in the case of the digital transfer certificate, unlike the paper transfer certificate, it is possible to avoid problems such as loss and a described time lag.

  The browsing service includes a service that enables search and browsing of each of the construction machine information, the lease information, the medical chart information, and the construction machine position information. Searching and browsing the construction machine information includes searching and browsing the owner of each construction machine, and searching and browsing the transfer certificate for each construction machine.

  Those who use this service are basically each player who belongs to the construction machinery industry. Here, as each player belonging to the construction machine industry, for example, a person who manufactures and sells a construction machine (hereinafter, referred to as a “construction machine maker”) and a person who purchases a construction machine from a construction machine maker (hereinafter, “ A construction machine owner), leases the construction machine from the construction machine owner and rents it to the customer (hereinafter referred to as "rental company"), rents the construction machine from the rental company, (Hereinafter referred to as “borrower”), borrower performing prime contractor construction (hereinafter referred to as “primary contractor”), and trying to purchase used construction equipment (Hereinafter referred to as "used buyers"), persons holding construction machinery auctions (hereinafter referred to as "auction organizers"), administrative agencies and government agencies that issue various certificates and other official documents. Third party that issues transfer certificates, etc., uniquely determined by other organizations Institutions, and the like.

The “construction machine maker” includes, for example, those who manufacture and sell dump trucks and trucks in addition to construction machines.
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a construction machine manufacturer sells a construction machine, it has been customary to issue a bill to a leasing company or a rental company that is a sales destination without requesting a transfer certificate. For this reason, construction equipment manufacturers had to take the risk of irrecoverable debt.
However, since the construction machine maker can obtain the digital transfer certificate by using this service, it is not necessary to take the above risk.

“Construction machine owner” includes, for example, leasing companies, banks, other financial institutions, and the like.
Conventionally, construction machine owners have been at risk of being able to sell their own construction machines without permission, because they have not been able to identify the location of the construction machine as their personal property. In particular, they had to carry the risk of being illegally exported abroad, which is outside the limits of domestic law. Also, since the construction equipment owner has no way to check whether the construction equipment covered by the lease agreement is appropriate as a leased property when concluding a lease contract, the construction equipment to be leased as collateral, It was necessary to enter into a lease for more than one year.
However, since the construction machine owner can specify the location of the construction machine by using this service, it is not necessary to take the above risk.

The “rental company” includes, for example, a person who operates a construction equipment rental business, a person who rents a rented construction machine to another rental company (double rents), and the like.
Traditionally, rental companies have no way of knowing whether a borrower has fraudulently held and used a construction machine when renting a construction machine for which the company owes a debt and leases it to a borrower. . For this reason, the borrower renting the construction machine had to take the risk of reselling the construction machine without permission.
However, since the rental company can grasp the status of the construction machine and specify the location of the construction machine by using the service, the rental company does not need to take the above risk.

The “borrower” includes, for example, a so-called general contractor, a person who operates a construction equipment rental business, a person who double rents, and the like.
Traditionally, borrowers do not take the risk of a transfer certificate, but transfer ownership of construction equipment without their knowledge, resulting in forced lifting of construction equipment in use at the construction site. I had to take the risk of doing it.
However, since the borrower can grasp the condition of the construction machine by using the service, the borrower does not need to take the above risk.

The “primary contractor” includes, for example, a so-called general contractor.
Traditionally, prime contractors, like borrowers, have transferred ownership of construction equipment without their knowledge, resulting in forced lifting of construction equipment in use at construction sites. Had to take the risk of delaying the construction period.
However, since the prime contractor can grasp the condition of the construction machine by using this service, it is not necessary to take the above risk.

“Used buyers” include, for example, distributors who purchase and resell used construction machines.
In the past, used buyers have been exposed to the risk that they will not be able to determine whether the seller of the used construction equipment has ownership, whether or not there is any debt (such as remaining debt in the lease) and the amount of the debt. I had to.
However, since the second-hand purchase applicant can grasp the lease information by using this service, it is not necessary to take the above risk.

The “auction organizer” includes, for example, an auction company that holds construction machine auctions, a used vehicle sales company, and the like.
Conventionally, an auction organizer has no way of grasping the condition of a construction machine from the reality that a transfer certificate is only issued at a rate of about 5% in an auction transaction of a construction machine. For this reason, the auction organizer had to take the risk of reducing reliability due to unknown resale of construction equipment via the auction.
However, since the auction organizer can grasp the construction machine information by using this service, it is not necessary to take the above risk.

The administrative organizations include, for example, the land transportation department of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's Regional Transportation Bureau (so-called Land Transportation Bureau), the Legal Affairs Bureau, which is a branch office of the Ministry of Justice, and customs authorities that regulate the import and export of construction machinery.
Traditionally, government agencies have had to take the risk that the market itself will stagnate due to increased credit risk in the construction industry and the construction machinery market due to institutional deficiencies.
However, since the administrative organization can grasp the construction machine information and the construction machine position information by using this service, it is not necessary to take the above risk.

Third party organizations include, for example, the Japan Construction Machinery Manufacturers Association, which issues paper transfer certificates.
Traditionally, third-party organizations have had to take the risk that the distrust of the construction machinery market cannot be ruled out because the issue of paper transfer certificates has not been resolved.

  Persons who can use this service as the user U are not limited to the above players belonging to the construction machinery industry. Even a person who does not belong to the construction machine industry can use this service by providing information necessary for registration as the user U, similarly to each player belonging to the construction machine industry. In addition, by taking measures such as restricting the searchable and browsable range, the service can be used without user registration.

  By the cooperation of various kinds of hardware and various kinds of software of the server 1 shown in FIG. 3, various kinds of processing described later can be executed in the server 1. As a result, the service provider P can provide the above service to the user U.

[Functional configuration]
FIG. 4 is a functional block diagram illustrating an example of a functional configuration required for each process executed by the server 1.

As shown in FIG. 4, in the CPU 11 of the server 1, when a management process is performed, an acquisition unit 101, a registration reception unit 102, a management unit 103, and an authentication unit 104 function.
When the output process or the browsing process is performed, the operation receiving unit 105, the management unit 103, and the output control unit 106 function.
In one area of the storage unit 18 of the server 1, a construction machine DB 401, a lease DB 402, a medical record DB 403, a position DB 404, a scan DB 405, and a user DB 406 are provided.

(Management processing)
The management process is executed by the acquisition unit 101, the registration reception unit 102, the management unit 103, and the authentication unit 104 functioning in cooperation.

  The acquisition unit 101 acquires construction machine information and user information. The construction machine information includes, for example, lease information, chart information, construction machine position information, and scan information. Here, the specific method for acquiring the construction machine information is not particularly limited. A method of acquiring information input to the user terminal 2 based on an input operation of the user U may be used, or a method of inputting construction machine information written on paper on the service provider P side may be used. . The “input” here includes a manual input, an input using image recognition technology for acquiring various information from image data based on an input image, and the like. Further, the image recognition includes recognition of an identifier such as a QR code (registered trademark) or a bar code for uniquely identifying a construction machine. Further, the specific method of acquiring the construction machine position information is not particularly limited. For example, construction equipment position information such as GPS position information may be acquired using a wireless communication technology such as LPWA (Low Power Wide Area). In this case, it is possible to acquire the construction machine position information while suppressing power consumption.

  Among the acquired construction machine information, the lease information, the chart information, the construction machine position information, and the scan information are respectively recorded in a lease ledger, a position ledger, a chart ledger, and a scan ledger. Specifically, the lease information is recorded in the lease ledger in the lease DB 402 and managed. The chart information is recorded in the chart DB in the chart DB 403 and managed. The construction machine position information is recorded and managed in the position ledger in the position DB 404. The scan information is recorded and managed in the scan ledger in the scan DB 405.

Further, of the construction machine information, other construction machine information other than the lease information, the chart information, the construction machine position information, and the scan information is recorded and managed in the construction machine ledger in the construction machine DB 401. The other construction machine information includes information on the owner of the construction machine (hereinafter, referred to as “owner information”). The owner information includes information about the assignee and the assignee when the construction machine is assigned.
The user information is stored and managed in the user DB 406.

The registration accepting unit 102 accepts registration of a construction machine with the present service based on the information acquired by the acquiring unit 101.
More specifically, upon receiving the registration, the registration receiving unit 102 performs a temporary registration by attaching an electronic seal to the registered content, and performs a full registration of the construction machine with the completion of the accounting process as a trigger. When the real registration of the construction machine is completed, lease of the construction machine and the like are started. When registering a construction machine, as described above, a block chain (distributed ledger technology) can be used.

  Further, the registration receiving unit 102 receives a change registration of the content registered in the service based on the input operation of the user U on the user terminal 2. Specifically, for example, if a construction machine registered in this service is transferred, it is necessary to change the registered contents, so the person who transferred the construction machine will Changed and registered as "transferr". In addition, the person to whom the construction machine has been transferred is registered as a “transferee” and a “construction machine owner” for registration.

  The registration receiving unit 102 receives registration of the chart information for each construction machine based on the information acquired by the acquiring unit 101. Thereby, the maintenance history and the inspection history for each construction machine can be managed collectively.

  Further, the registration receiving unit 102 receives registration of the person who is going to receive user registration in the service based on the information acquired by the acquiring unit 101. Thereby, a person who intends to receive user registration can receive the provision of this service as user U.

  Further, the registration receiving unit 102 receives registration of construction machine position information for each construction machine based on the information acquired by the acquiring unit 101. As a result, information on the current position of each construction machine can be managed collectively.

  The registration receiving unit 102 receives registration of scan information for each construction machine based on the information acquired by the acquiring unit 101. Thus, an identifier such as a QR code (registered trademark) for uniquely identifying a construction machine can be registered, so that construction machine information for each construction machine can be collectively managed.

  The management unit 103 performs collective management of information for which registration has been received by the registration receiving unit 102. Specifically, the management unit 103 collectively manages information stored in the construction machine DB 401, the lease DB 402, the medical record DB 403, the position DB 404, and the scan DB 405.

  Further, the management unit 103 manages the authority of the user U who uses the service based on the information stored in the user DB 406. Of course, the user U includes a corporation, but authority management is performed not at the corporation level but at the level of a person in charge belonging to the corporation. When a corporation uses this service, a person belonging to the corporation actually operates the user terminal 2. Here, fraudulent acts are often performed at the level of a person in charge belonging to a corporation, rather than systematically performed at the corporation level. For this reason, in order to prevent fraud, authority management at the corporate level is not sufficient, and it is necessary to manage authority at the level of the person in charge belonging to the enterprise. For this reason, the management unit 103 also assigns an ID or the like to the person in charge belonging to the corporation, and manages login using a password or the like. As a result, it is possible to prevent improper activities at the level of the person in charge belonging to the corporation.

Further, the management unit 103 performs authority management of the construction machine for which registration has been accepted by the registration accepting unit 102 for this service. The specific method of managing the authority of the construction machine is not particularly limited. For example, a method of generating a matrix with the user U on the vertical axis and the construction machine on the horizontal axis and managing authority of the construction machine for each user U can be used.
The management unit 103 manages the scan information for which registration has been received by the registration receiving unit 102. The scan information managed by the management unit 103 includes information to be authenticated by an authentication unit 104 described later.

  The authentication unit 104 authenticates the scan information managed by the management unit 103. Specifically, for example, it is assumed that a certain user U scans a QR code (registered trademark) attached to the construction machine using the user terminal 2 in order to query construction machine information of the construction machine. I do. In this case, the authentication unit 104 specifies the construction machine by authenticating the acquired and managed scan information, and provides the construction machine information within the range of the authority of each of the user U and the construction machine.

(Output processing)
The output process is executed by the operation reception unit 105, the management unit 103, and the output control unit 106 functioning in cooperation with each other.

The operation accepting unit 105 accepts, when the user U has performed an operation for instructing an output (hereinafter, referred to as an “output operation”) using the user terminal 2.
The management unit 103 determines whether to output an output target in accordance with the content of the output operation, based on the content of the output operation received by the operation receiving unit 105, the construction machine information, and the user information. For example, when the authority of the construction machine or the user U is restricted, it is determined that the output is performed if the authority is within the range of the authority. On the other hand, if it is out of the range of the authority, it is determined that no output is made.

The output control unit 106 executes control to output an output target based on the determination result by the management unit 103.
Specifically, when various certificates including a digital transfer certificate and other public documents are output, a digital signature or the like is output, so that it can be used for legal procedures and the like. For this reason, since the output target of the user U cannot be unlimited, the management unit 103 provides a difference in the output range according to the authority of the user U and the authority of the construction machine.
The output target can be searched using a code such as a construction machine serial number or a digital certificate number as a key. Also, a search can be performed based on scan information.
When the output target is specified as a result of the search, the operation receiving unit 105 receives the operation.

  Although the output target is not particularly limited, various certificates including a digital transfer certificate and other official documents, a list of assets held by the user U, the above-described ledger (construction machine ledger, lease ledger, chart ledger, location ledger, and A report relating to (scan ledger), a dashboard for displaying a plurality of pieces of information collectively, and an inquiry history of an asset owned by the user U by a third party other than the user U can be output.

In addition, when outputting a list of assets held by the user U as an output target, the output can be limited to a leased property.
The output operation by the user U includes an operation of setting output items in detail for construction machine information, lease information, and the like. The output operation by the user U includes an operation for setting an output condition. Specifically, for example, output conditions can be set for the construction machine owner, the name of the construction machine, the manufacturer of the construction machine, the model of the construction machine, and the like.

  When outputting a report or a dashboard relating to the above ledger (construction ledger, lease ledger, chart ledger, position ledger, and scan ledger) as an output target, the output format is not particularly limited. Output can be made in any output format useful for the user U. For example, the data may be output in CSV format, or the contents stored in each ledger may be directly dumped out. The output condition is not particularly limited. As in the case of outputting the list of assets held by the user U, output conditions can be set for the construction machine owner, the name of the construction machine, the manufacturer that manufactured the construction machine, the model of the construction machine, and the like.

  Further, when an inquiry history of an asset owned by the user U by a third party other than the user U is output, the third party may be specified. In addition, output conditions can be set for a viewing period, viewing contents (items), and the like.

(Browsing process)
The browsing process is executed by the operation receiving unit 105, the management unit 103, and the output control unit 106 functioning in cooperation with each other, similarly to the output process.

  The operation accepting unit 105 accepts, when the user U performs an operation for instructing search and browsing (hereinafter, referred to as “search and browse operation”) using the user terminal 2.

  The management unit 103 extracts a search and browse target according to the content of the search and browsing operation based on the content of the search and browsing operation received by the operation receiving unit 105, the construction machine information, and the user information. A determination is made as to whether to display. For example, when the authority of the construction machine or the user U is restricted, if the authority is within the range of the authority, it is determined that the search and the browsing are displayed. On the other hand, if it is out of the range of authority, it is determined that search and browsing are not displayed.

  The output control unit 106 executes control for outputting a search and browsing target based on the determination result by the management unit 103.

  Specifically, when searching and browsing the construction machine owner for each construction machine as a search and browsing target, search and browse information on the current and past construction machine owners (assigners and assignees). can do. Further, the viewing range can be limited according to the authority of the construction machine or the user U. For example, browsing may be limited to the current owner only. Further, it is possible to search using information (serial number, ID, etc.) for uniquely identifying a construction machine as a key. The specific search method is not particularly limited, and a search can be performed using a code such as a construction machine serial number or a digital certificate number as a key, or a search can be performed based on scan information.

  In addition, when searching and browsing lease information as a search and browsing target, it is possible to search for and view the presence or absence and balance of remaining bonds such as leases of construction equipment. Further, the viewable range can be limited depending on the authority of the construction machine or the user U. For example, normally, only the presence or absence of remaining bonds may be browsed, and when the owner's permission is obtained, detailed information may be browsed. Further, similarly to the construction machine information, it is possible to search using information (serial number, ID, etc.) for uniquely identifying the construction machine as a key. The specific search method is not particularly limited, and a search can be performed using a code such as a construction machine serial number or a digital certificate number as a key, or a search can be performed based on scan information.

  Further, when searching and browsing the chart information as a search and browsing target, the maintenance history and the inspection history can be confirmed. Further, similarly to the construction machine information and the lease information, the viewable range can be limited by the authority of the construction machine and the user U. For example, normally, only the presence or absence of remaining bonds may be browsed, and when the owner's permission is obtained, detailed information may be browsed. Further, similarly to the construction machine information and the lease information, it is possible to search using information (serial number, ID, etc.) for uniquely identifying the construction machine as a key. The specific search method is not particularly limited, and a search can be performed using a code such as a construction machine serial number or a digital certificate number as a key, or a search can be performed based on scan information.

  When searching and browsing the construction machine position information as a search and browsing target, for example, the current position information of the construction machine can be confirmed. If the current location information of the construction machine is a place different from the original operation place (for example, a remote place of a predetermined distance or more), an alert may be sent to the owner of the construction machine. Thus, even if the construction machine moves due to illegal resale or the like, the fact can be notified to the user U by an alert. Further, similarly to the above information, the viewable range can be limited by the authority of the construction machine or the user U. For example, normally, only the presence or absence of remaining bonds may be browsed, and when the owner's permission is obtained, detailed information may be browsed. Further, similarly to the construction machine information and the lease information, it is possible to search using information (serial number, ID, etc.) for uniquely identifying the construction machine as a key. The specific search method is not particularly limited, and a search can be performed using a code such as a serial number of a construction machine or a digital certificate number as a key, or a search can be performed based on scan information.

In step S5, the registration receiving unit 102 performs the real registration of the construction machine. As a result, the registration process is completed, and the leasing of the construction machine is started.

FIG. 5B shows a flow of a management process (change registration) in an example in which a used purchaser has purchased a construction machine owned by a leasing company. In the example shown in FIG. 5B, since the used purchaser searches and browses as the user U of the service, information on the owner of the construction machine and the remaining debt of the lease has already been obtained. It shall be confirmed. In addition, it is assumed that the purchaser of the used purchaser has already agreed to purchase with the leasing company that is the owner of the construction machine, the rental company that has leased the construction machine, and the like. Although not shown, according to this service, a request for a purchase of a construction machine by a used buyer, and an agreement with a used buyer, a leasing company, a rental company, etc. must be made in the system. Can also.
In step S11, the registration receiving unit 102 receives a change registration of the content registered in the service. Specifically, it is accepted that a leasing company that has transferred a construction machine to a second-hand purchase applicant changes the "construction machine owner" to a "transferr" upon registration of this service. In addition, a used buyer who has transferred a construction machine is newly registered as a "transferee" and a "owner of the construction machine" upon registration of this service.
In step S12, the registration receiving unit 102 performs temporary registration by attaching an electronic seal to the change registration content.
In step S13, the registration receiving unit 102 determines whether the settlement of the cost for transferring the construction machine has been completed. If the settlement is completed, YES is determined in step S13, and the process proceeds to step S14. On the other hand, if the payment is not completed, the determination in step S13 is NO, and the process in step S13 is repeated until it is determined that the payment is completed.
In step S14, the registration receiving unit 102 performs the real registration of the construction machine. As a result, the processing for registration is completed, the construction machine is delivered, and the ownership of the construction machine is transferred.
