Then, the application execution unit 270 displays the acquired trading history on the display 230. The trading history includes, for example, vehicle information bought and sold, a fixed purchase price, a trading completion date, and the like. As a result, the seller U1 can be made to input a more appropriate suggested selling price based on the past buying and selling history of the vehicle similar to the vehicle M.

For example, the icons IC14 and IC15 are displayed in the switch display area A14. The icon IC 14 mediates various information (including an image when an image is captured) input by the seller information input area A11, the exhibition information input area A12, and the trading information input area A13 as information about the vehicle M. This is an icon for accepting the server 100 to execute the exhibition registration. The icon IC 15 is an icon for accepting the cancellation of the exhibition registration to the intermediary server 100.

When the icon IC 14 is selected by the seller U1, the application execution unit 270 transmits various information input by the seller information input area A11, the exhibition information input area A12, and the trading information input area A13 to the intermediary server 100. The display of the image IM10 is terminated. Further, when the icon IC 15 is selected by the seller U1, the application execution unit 270 ends the display of the image IM 10.

The acquisition unit 130 of the intermediary server 100 acquires information about the vehicle M acquired from the first terminal device 200, associates the acquired information with identification information (for example, an exhibition ID), and registers it in the exhibition information DB 184 of the storage unit 180. do.

FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the contents of the exhibition information DB 184. In the exhibition information DB 184, for example, the exhibition ID is associated with the exhibitor ID, the exhibition vehicle information, the trading-related information, and the exhibition date. The exhibited vehicle information includes, for example, the vehicle type, model year, mileage, color, trauma degree, stain degree, repair history, repair information, and image information of the vehicle M. The image information is, for example, one or more images captured by the first terminal device 200. The buying and selling related information includes, for example, selling price, information about a delivery point, and applicable insurance information. The selling price is, for example, a price obtained by adding a brokerage fee and a transportation fee (for example, a maximum transportation fee) to the suggested selling price entered by the seller U1. The selling price may be the suggested selling price entered by the seller U1.

The processing unit 170 assesses the vehicle M based on the information registered in the vehicle information DB 184 shown in FIG. 7 (for example, vehicle type, mileage, color, degree of trauma, degree of stain). Specifically, the processing unit 170 determines an index value (hereinafter, referred to as an assessment rank) indicating a rank regarding the value of the vehicle M, or determines the price of the vehicle M. In this case, the processing unit 170 determines, for example, the lowest price of the vehicle M based on the assessment rank. The price of the vehicle M assessed by the processing unit 170 may include an amount such as an intermediary fee and a transportation fee of the intermediary server 100.

The processing unit 170 assesses the vehicle M based on the analysis result of the image registered in the image information in place of (or in addition to) the vehicle type, mileage, color, trauma degree, and stain degree registered in the exhibition information DB 184. You may. For example, when the images IM21 to IM23 are included as image information, the processing unit 170 analyzes each image and acquires feature information such as an edge region, a color, a shape, and a size in the image as an analysis result. Next, the processing unit 170 performs pattern matching and the like with the acquired feature information and the feature information for each vehicle type stored in advance in the storage unit 180 or the like (for example, the feature information of the vehicle in a state without trauma or stain). , Acquires information such as vehicle type and type, color, degree of trauma, degree of damage, etc. of vehicle M. As a result, for example, the position and degree of trauma S1 and stain D1 of the vehicle M can be obtained from the images IM21 and IM22 shown in FIG. 6, and the degree of stain can be obtained from the image IM23. Therefore, the vehicle can be obtained using the image analysis result. M can be assessed. By assessing based on the image analysis results, there is no variation in the evaluation of each seller, and the assessment can be performed more appropriately. The assessment result may be registered in the vehicle information DB 184.

[Viewing and purchasing exhibited vehicles]
Next, the processing related to viewing and purchasing the exhibited vehicle M will be specifically described. For example, when a request for viewing the exhibited vehicle information is received from the second terminal device 300 by the operation of the purchaser U2 (hereinafter referred to as "the purchaser U2" because he is the purchaser at this point), the intermediary unit The 140 generates an image (an example of the first mediation information) showing a list of exhibited vehicles based on the exhibition information DB 184. The information providing unit 150 provides the image generated by the intermediary unit 140 to the second terminal device 300 for which a viewing request has been made. Further, the information providing unit 150 may publish an image including the exhibited vehicle information so that it can be browsed via the network NW, regardless of whether or not there is a browsing request from the second terminal device 300. In this case, the intermediary server 100 functions as a Web server. The prospective purchaser U2 can browse the exhibited vehicle information by browsing the images disclosed so as to be browseable via the second terminal device 300.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the image IM 30 displayed on the second terminal device 300. The image IM 30 includes, for example, an exhibited vehicle list display area A31 and a switch display area A32. In the exhibition vehicle list display area A31, for example, the exhibition vehicle information display areas A31a, A31b, ... That display the exhibition vehicle information for each exhibition ID are displayed. When displaying the exhibited vehicle list in the exhibited vehicle information display area A31, the information providing unit 150 may display the exhibited vehicles sorted in the order of newest or oldest based on the exhibition date of the exhibition information DB 184. good. Further, when the information providing unit 150 acquires the selection condition (for example, the search keyword, the narrowing condition) input by the second terminal device 300, the information providing unit 150 refers to the exhibition information DB 184 based on the selection condition and matches the selection condition. Alternatively, similar exhibited vehicle information may be displayed in descending order of matching or similar degree. Hereinafter, the exhibited vehicle information display areas A31a and A31b will be specifically described.

In each of the exhibited vehicle information display areas A31a and A31b, for example, an exhibition ID, a vehicle type, a mileage, a degree of trauma, a degree of stain, a model year, and a color are displayed. Further, the selling price registered in the vehicle information DB 184 may be displayed in the exhibited vehicle information display area A31. By presenting the selling price including the brokerage fee and the transportation fee, the prospective purchaser U2 can accurately grasp the amount (total amount) at the time of purchase. Further, in each of the exhibited vehicle information display areas A31a and A31b, the icon IC31 that accepts the display request of the image information included in the exhibition information DB 184 from the prospective purchaser U2 and the prospective purchaser U2 input the desired purchase price. The icon IC 32 that accepts the display request of the image of the above may be displayed. When the icon IC 31 is selected by the prospective purchaser U2, the information providing unit 150 acquires image information from the exhibition information DB 184 based on the exhibition ID associated with the icon IC 31, and uses the acquired image information as the second terminal device. It is displayed on the display 230 of 300. Further, when the icon IC 32 is selected by the prospective purchaser U2, the intermediary unit 140 generates an image including an input area for inputting the desired purchase price of the vehicle M. The information providing unit 150 displays the generated image on the display 230 of the second terminal device 300, and accepts the input of the desired purchase price of the prospective purchaser U2.

For example, when the application execution unit 270 of the second terminal device 300 accepts the input of the desired purchase price from the prospective purchaser U2, it may be controlled so as not to accept the input less than the selling price, and the price is equal to or higher than the selling price. The output control unit 280 may output the information prompting the input of. Further, the application execution unit 270 may perform the above-mentioned processing using the assessed price instead of the selling price. As a result, by presenting the appraisal price evaluated by a third party other than the seller U1 to the prospective purchaser U2, it is possible to make the individual purchase and sale more secure based on a fair monetary evaluation. Further, the application execution unit 270 requests the information providing unit 150 of the intermediary server 100 to acquire the past sales history instead of (or in addition to) the selling price, and is similar to the vehicle M to be purchased from the information providing unit 150. The trading history of the vehicle to be used may be acquired, and the acquired trading history may be displayed on the display 230. As a result, it is possible for the prospective purchaser U2 to grasp whether or not the selling price is higher than the past record, and it is possible to purchase the vehicle M at a more appropriate price.

The processing unit 170 determines whether or not to permit the purchase of the vehicle M based on the desired purchase price input by the prospective purchaser U2 by the second terminal device 300. For example, when the processing unit 170 determines a user who has put up an item by an auction method such as an auction, the purchase request entered by a plurality of users from the time the vehicle M is put up until a predetermined period elapses. The purchase of the vehicle M of the prospective purchaser U2 who has entered the highest price among the prices is permitted. Further, when the seller U1 is an interpersonal sales method in which the sale of the vehicle M is established by permitting the sale at the purchase desired price of the prospective purchaser U2, the processing unit 170 is the purchase input by the prospective purchaser U2. When the information indicating the desired price is presented to the first terminal device 200 of the seller U1 and the sale is permitted, the purchase of the vehicle M of the prospective purchaser U2 is permitted.

The processing unit 170 notifies the prospective purchaser U2 who has permitted the purchase of the purchase permission, and performs processing related to the settlement procedure such as credit card settlement and transfer processing of the amount to the bank. After the settlement procedure is completed, the sale and purchase of the vehicle M is completed, and the prospective purchaser U2 becomes the purchaser U2. Hereinafter, the description will be referred to as “purchaser U2”.

In addition, the processing unit 170 performs processing related to the transportation of the vehicle M for which the sale has been completed after the sale between individuals has been completed. For example, the processing unit 170 generates an image for allowing the purchaser U2 to select which pattern to transport among a plurality of predetermined transport patterns. The information providing unit 150 provides the generated image to the second terminal device 300. The purchaser U2 selects a vehicle transportation pattern using the image displayed on the second terminal device 300. The processing unit 170 may display the above image on the first terminal device 200 and let the exhibitor U1 select the transportation pattern. The details of the image will be described later.

In the switch display area A32 of the image IM30, an icon IC33 for ending the display of the image IM30 is displayed. When the icon IC 33 is selected by the purchaser second user U2, the application execution unit 270 ends the display of the image IM 30.

[Transportation of purchased vehicles]
Next, the transportation of the purchased vehicle will be described. In the image IM30 described above, when the purchase of the product is successful, the information providing unit 150 causes the second terminal device 300 of the purchaser U2 who purchased the vehicle M to display an image for selecting a transportation pattern.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of the image IM40 for selecting the transportation pattern of the vehicle M. The image IM 40 includes, for example, a transport pattern list display area A41 and a switch display area A42. In the transportation pattern list display area A41, for example, transportation pattern details display areas A41a, A41b, A41c, ...

FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining a plurality of transportation patterns. The transportation pattern is not limited to the example shown in FIG. In the example of FIG. 10, the intermediary server 100 establishes an interpersonal sale of the vehicle M between the seller U1 and the purchaser U2, and transports the vehicle M existing at the designated position of the seller U1 to the purchaser U2. The routes RT1 to RT7 are shown. The transportation route RT1 is a route in which the transporter U3a drives the vehicle M and transports the vehicle M to the designated position of the purchaser U2. The transportation routes RT2 to RT4 are routes for transporting the vehicle M to the designated position of the purchaser U2 via the relay points BP1 and BP2. The route RT3 from the relay point BP1 to the relay point BP2 is a route in which the transport vehicle TV1 loads and transports the vehicle M. The relay point may be, for example, a dealer or a maintenance shop that sells vehicles, a transportation base such as a carrier, or an auction site. Further, the relay point may be a parking lot, a warehouse, a vacant lot, or the like of a commercial facility or a small store. The transport vehicle TV 1 is, for example, a loading vehicle, a large trailer, or the like that can load and transport a plurality of vehicles. In addition, the movement between the relay points may be performed by a moving body such as a flying object or a ship capable of loading and moving the vehicle M instead of the transport vehicle TV1.

In the example of FIG. 10, the route RT2 from the designated position of the exhibitor U1 to the relay point BP1 is carried by the transporter U3b by driving the vehicle M, and the route RT3 from the relay point BP1 to the relay point BP2 is the transporter. U3c drives the transport vehicle TV1 loaded with the vehicle M to transport the vehicle M, and the transporter U3d drives the vehicle M from the relay point BP2 where the vehicle M is unloaded from the transport vehicle TV1 to the designated position of the purchaser U2. And transport. Further, as a pattern for loading and transporting the vehicle M on the transport vehicle TV1, there may be a pattern for transporting the vehicle M via another relay point (for example, the relay points BP3 and BP4 shown in FIG. 10). .. In the example of FIG. 10, in the routes RT5 to RT7 from the relay point BP1 → BP3 → BP4 → BP2, the transporter U3c drives the transport vehicle TV1 loaded with the vehicle M to transport the vehicle M. In the example of FIG. 10, the carrier U3a is an example of a "first carrier", the carrier U3b is an example of a "second carrier", and the carrier U3c is an example of a "third carrier". , Transporter U3d is an example of a "fourth carrier".

Returning to FIG. 9, the transport pattern detailed display areas A41a, A41b, and A41c will be specifically described below. In the transportation pattern detail display area A41a, for example, information regarding the transportation pattern A in which the purchaser U2 picks up the vehicle M to the position designated by the seller U1 is shown. In the case of the transport pattern A, the purchaser U2 is the transporter U3a shown in FIG. In this case, the information providing unit 150 displays the purchase price (75 [10,000 yen] in the example of FIG. 9) obtained by subtracting the transportation fee from the selling price displayed in the exhibited vehicle information display areas A31a and A31b of the image IM30. Further, the transport pattern detailed display area A41a may include an icon IC 41 for displaying an image showing a position (designated position) at which the vehicle M designated by the exhibitor U1 is delivered. When the icon IC 41 is selected by the purchaser U2, the information providing unit 150 refers to the exhibition information DB 184, generates an image including information indicating the delivery point input by the seller U1, and causes the second terminal device 300 to generate an image. Display. This makes it easier for the second user U2 to determine whether or not he / she is going to pick up the vehicle M.

In the transport pattern detail display area A41b, for example, information regarding the transport pattern B in which the transporter U3 directly drives the vehicle M and transports the vehicle M to the designated position (pick-up position) of the purchaser U2 is shown. The transportation pattern B is a transportation pattern in which the third party transporter U3a shown in FIG. 10 drives the vehicle M. When displaying the transportation pattern detailed information based on the transportation pattern B, the information providing unit 150 is cheaper than the selling price displayed in the exhibited vehicle information display areas A31a and A31b and is lower than the transportation pattern A (for example, 2). The purchase price reduced by 10,000 yen) is displayed in the transportation pattern detail display area A41b. Further, the transport pattern detailed display area A41b may include an icon IC 42 for displaying an image for the purchaser U2 to input a pick-up position of the vehicle M (an example of a position designated by the purchaser). When the icon IC 42 is selected by the purchaser U2, the information providing unit 150 generates an image including an area for inputting a position where the purchaser U2 picks up the vehicle M, and displays the generated image on the second terminal device 300. , Accepts the input of the pick-up position from the purchaser U2.

In the transport pattern detailed display area A41c, for example, information regarding the transport pattern C in which the vehicle M is loaded on the transport vehicle TV1 and transported to the designated position of the purchaser U2 is stored so as to reduce the distance actually traveled by the vehicle M as much as possible. It is shown. The transport pattern C is a transport pattern in which the transporters U3b and U3d shown in FIG. 10 drive the vehicle M, and the transporter U3c drives the transport vehicle TV1 loaded with the vehicle M. The information providing unit 150 causes the transportation pattern detail display area A41c to display the selling price displayed in the exhibited vehicle information display areas A31a and A31b (that is, the selling price including the maximum transportation fee) as the purchase price. Further, the transport pattern detailed display area A41c may include an icon IC 42 for displaying an image for the purchaser U2 to input a pick-up position of the vehicle M, as in the detailed display area A41b.

Among the above-mentioned transportation patterns A to C, in the transportation pattern A, since the transporter U3 is the purchaser U2, the purchase price is the cheapest, and in the transportation pattern C, the purchase price is the highest, but the distance traveled by the vehicle M is It will be the shortest. The purchaser U2 selects a transportation pattern by checking any of the check buttons provided in each of the transportation pattern detailed display areas A41a to A41c in consideration of the content and amount of each transportation pattern. The transportation pattern detailed display areas A41a to A41c may include an area for inputting insurance information applied to the vehicle M to which the purchaser U2 has already subscribed.

For example, the icons IC43 and IC44 are displayed in the switch display area A42. The icon IC 43 is an icon for accepting output of various information input by the transport pattern list display area A41 to the intermediary server 100. The icon IC 44 is an icon for accepting the cancellation of the purchase of the vehicle M and the selection of the transportation pattern. When the icon IC 43 is selected by the purchaser U2, the application execution unit 270 transmits various information input by the transportation pattern list display area A41 to the intermediary server 100 and ends the display of the image IM 40. Further, when the icon IC 44 is selected by the purchaser U2, the application execution unit 270 ends the display of the image IM 40.

When the intermediary unit 140 acquires the information input in the transportation pattern list display area A41, the intermediary unit 140 considers that the inter-individual sale between the seller U1 and the purchaser U2 has been completed, and the vehicle M in which the sale has been completed. Information about the above is stored in the trading history information 186. FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining the contents of the trading history information 186. In the trading history information 186, for example, the selling vehicle information, the fixed purchase price, the trading completion date, and the insurance information applied at the time of transportation are associated with the exhibition ID. The trading vehicle information is information on a part or all of the exhibited vehicle information in the exhibition information DB 184. The fixed purchase price is the purchase price associated with the transportation pattern selected by the second user. The sale completion date is, for example, the date on which the purchase procedure of the vehicle M (for example, the settlement related to the fixed purchase price, the processing related to the transportation pattern, etc.) is completed. The applicable insurance information is insurance information applied when the vehicle M is driven. The applicable insurance information is entered, for example, by one or both of the seller U1 and the purchaser U2. Further, the applicable insurance information may be insurance information for the vehicle M subscribed to by the intermediary server 100.

The intermediary server 100 can present the buying and selling history to the seller U1 or the purchaser U2 based on the buying and selling history information 186, and have the seller U1 or the purchaser U2 input a more appropriate suggested selling price and desired purchasing price.

The allocation unit 160 allocates the carrier U3 (specifically, the first carrier to the fourth carrier) based on the transport pattern selected by the purchaser U2. For example, the allocation unit 160 registers the information regarding the transportation of the vehicle M in the transportation information 188 based on the information input to the transportation pattern list display area A41.

FIG. 12 is a diagram for explaining the contents of the transportation information 188. In the transportation information 188, a vehicle ID, trading vehicle information, transportation-related information, and a transportation completion flag are associated with a transportation ID as identification information for identifying the transportation information. The transportation-related information includes, for example, a seller-designated position, a purchaser-designated position, a transporter ID as identification information for identifying the carrier U3, a departure place, a destination, a transportation type, and a transportation fee. The seller-designated position is the delivery position of the vehicle M designated by the seller U1, and the purchaser-designated position is the pick-up position of the vehicle M designated by the purchaser U2. The transporter ID may be, for example, the user ID of the user information 182 or the carrier-specific ID. The departure point and the destination are the positions where the transporter U3 associated with the transporter ID starts and ends the transportation of the vehicle M. For example, when the seller-designated position and the departure place match, and the purchaser-designated position and the destination match, it can be seen that the transporter U3 alone transports the vehicle M to the final point. The transportation type is information indicating the type of the transportation method of the vehicle M, and includes "self-propelled" in which the vehicle M is driven and transported, "loading" in which the vehicle M is loaded and transported, and the like. When the transport type is "self-propelled", the allocation unit 160 allocates a transporter who directly drives the vehicle M. When the transportation type is "loading", the allocation unit 160 allocates a transport vehicle that loads and transports the vehicle M, and also allocates a transporter who drives the transport vehicle. The transportation fee is a fee related to the transportation of the vehicle M, which is set according to the transportation distance, the transportation type, and the like. The transportation fee may include transportation expenses for the transporter U3 to the seller-designated position and the relay point, transportation expenses for returning from the purchaser-designated position and the relay point, and the like. The transport vehicle flag is information indicating whether or not the transportation of the vehicle M is completed. In the example of FIG. 12, "1" is stored when the transportation is completed, and "0" is stored when the transportation is not completed, but other flags may be used. Further, the transportation completion flag may include information indicating that the transportation is in progress in addition to the information indicating whether or not the transportation is completed.

The allocation unit 160 determines a route from the seller-designated position to the purchaser-designated position, a route to the via base, and the like with reference to the map information and the like stored in the intermediary server 100 or the external device. In addition, the above-mentioned transportation-related information is registered based on the acquired route and the like. In the example of FIG. 12, the vehicle with the exhibition ID “G005” is shown to pass through the relay points P6 and P7 when the vehicle is transported from the seller-designated position P5 to the purchaser-designated position P8. Further, since the transporter ID is not set for the vehicle with the exhibition ID "G005", the transporter U3 (specifically, the second transporter, the third transporter, and the fourth transporter) has been determined. Indicates that there is no such thing.

The allocation unit 160 refers to the transportation information 188, and performs a process of allocating the transporter U3 of the route (transport ID) for which the transporter U3 has not been set yet. For example, the allocation unit 160 causes the intermediary unit 140 to generate a second intermediary information for allocating the transporter U3 to the vehicle M to which the transporter U3 is not yet assigned. The information providing unit 150 generates an image IM 50 including the second mediation information generated by the mediation unit 140, and transmits the generated image IM 50 to the third terminal device 400. The information providing unit 150 may disclose the image IM 50 to the network NW so as to be viewable, or may provide the image IM 50 after receiving the viewing request from the third terminal device 400.

FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of the image IM 50 displayed on the third terminal device 400. The image IM 50 includes, for example, a transport waiting vehicle list display area A51 and a switch display area A52. In the transport waiting vehicle list display area A51, for example, transport-related information display areas A51a, A51b, ... That display transport-related information are displayed for each transport ID. The transportation-related information display areas A51a and A51b may be sorted and displayed in the order of newest or oldest information registered in the transportation information 188, and the departure point is acquired by the position acquisition unit 455 of the third terminal device 400. It may be displayed in order of proximity to the position information.

The transportation-related information display areas A51a and A51b include, for example, transportation ID, vehicle information, departure place, destination, license conditions, insurance contents, transportation fees, and other information. In the vehicle information, the departure place, and the destination, the trading vehicle information, the departure place, and the destination corresponding to the transportation ID registered in the transportation information 188 are displayed. In the license condition, the license condition of the transporter U3 associated with the vehicle to be driven is displayed. The insurance content displays insurance information applied to the vehicle being driven. As other information, information set by the seller U1, the purchaser U2, and the intermediary server 100 is displayed. Other information includes, for example, information regarding conditions for the transporter U3 (for example, a person who can depart within one hour, a person who has experience driving a large transport vehicle).

Further, in each of the transportation-related information display areas A51a and A51b, the icon IC51 for displaying the route from the departure point to the destination and the map image showing the current position of the third terminal device 400, and the transporter U3 are transported. The icon IC 52 for registering the work may be displayed. When the icon IC 51 is selected by the transporter U3, the information providing unit 150 generates a map image showing the route from the departure point to the destination and the current position of the third terminal device 400, and the generated image is used as the third terminal. Displayed on the device 400. When the icon IC 52 is selected by the transporter U3, the allocation unit 160 acquires a user ID from the third terminal device 400 that has received the selection of the icon IC 52, and uses the acquired user ID to use the user ID. The driver's license information associated with the user ID is acquired with reference to the information 182. Then, for example, when the driver's license information satisfies the license conditions assigned to the transport ID and the license has not expired, the allocation unit 160 is associated with the transport ID of the transport information 188 to the transporter. Register the information of the carrier ID. If the driver's license information does not meet the license conditions assigned to the transport ID, or if the license has expired, the allocation unit 160 does not allocate the transporter U3 and the third terminal. Display information indicating that the device 400 cannot be transported.

If the driver's license information meets the license conditions assigned to the transport ID and the license has not expired, the allocation unit 160 tells the information provider 150 the third terminal device 400 of the transporter U3 in charge of transportation. Notify that the person in charge of transportation has been confirmed, and also notify the information about the place of departure and the destination. The information providing unit 150 receives the date and time of arrival at the departure place from the third terminal device 400, and provides information on the received date and time and information on the transporter U3 to the first terminal device 200 of the seller U1 and the purchaser U2. 2 Notify the terminal device 300. The second terminal device 300 of the purchaser U2 may be notified of the date and time of arrival at the destination instead of the date and time of arrival at the departure place. Further, when the departure place or the destination is not the designated position of the seller U1 or the designated position of the purchaser U2, the above-mentioned information may not be transmitted to the first terminal device 200 or the second terminal device 300.

In the switch display area A52 of the image IM 50, an icon IC 53 for ending the display of the image IM 50 is displayed. When the icon IC53 is selected by the transporter U3, the application execution unit 470 ends the display of the image IM50.

Further, the allocation unit 160 is a case where the purchaser U2 selects a transportation pattern (for example, the above-mentioned transportation patterns B and C) for transporting the vehicle M to the transporter U3, and the information is registered in the transportation information 188. If the transporter U3 has not been determined even after a predetermined time has elapsed, or even after the predetermined time has elapsed since the image IM50 was readable and disclosed on the network NW, the image IM50 is transported to the transporter U2. You may inquire whether it is possible or not. In this case, the allocation unit 160 generates an image for inquiring the purchaser U2 whether or not the vehicle M can be picked up, and causes the second terminal device 300 of the purchaser U2 to display the generated image.

FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of the image IM60 requesting the purchaser U2 for transportation. The image IM60 includes, for example, an inquiry information display area A61 and a switch display area A62. In the inquiry information display area A61, information inquiring that the transporter U3 carrying the vehicle has not been found and whether the purchaser U2 can pick up the vehicle is displayed. Further, in the inquiry information display area A61, information indicating an amount to be deducted from the purchase amount when the purchaser U2 goes to pick up may be displayed. In the example of FIG. 14, in the inquiry information display area A61, "The transporter U3 that transports the vehicle has not been found.", "Is it possible for the purchaser to pick up the vehicle?", The information "If you go to pick up the item, we will reduce the purchase amount by 50,000 yen." Is displayed. In the inquiry information display area A61, a transportation fee may be displayed instead of the amount deducted from the above-mentioned purchase amount.

Further, the icon IC 61 for confirming the delivery position may be displayed in the inquiry information display area A61. When the icon IC 61 is selected by the purchaser U2, the information providing unit 150 generates an image relating to the seller-designated position, and causes the second terminal device 300 to display the generated image.

For example, the icons IC62 and IC63 are displayed in the switch display area A62. The icon IC 62 is an icon for accepting that the purchaser U2 permits the transportation of the vehicle M. The icon IC 63 is an icon for accepting that the purchaser U2 refuses to transport the vehicle M. When the icon IC 62 is selected by the purchaser U2, the allocation unit 160 registers the purchaser U2 as the transporter U3 in the transportation information 188, and adjusts the date and time when the purchaser U2 arrives at the departure place.

When the icon IC 63 is selected by the purchaser U2, the allocation unit 160 requests a predetermined carrier or the like to transport the vehicle M. As a result, it is possible to prevent the situation in which the vehicle M is not transported for a long time. Since the purchase and sale of vehicles is more expensive than goods such as daily necessities and magazines, it is possible to prevent the transaction from being canceled by arranging a carrier when the carrier U3 is not found.

The allocation unit 160 transmits the image IM60 to the first terminal device 200 of the seller U1 in place of (or in addition to) the second terminal device 300 of the purchaser U2, and sends the image IM60 to the seller U1 of the vehicle M. You may inquire whether or not the vehicle can be transported (for example, whether or not the vehicle M can be delivered to the purchaser U2). Since the seller U1 or the purchaser U2 is a user who is driving the vehicle M or is likely to drive in the future, it is highly possible that the seller U1 or the purchaser U2 meets the driver's license conditions and the coverage of insurance. Therefore, by requesting transportation with priority given to the seller U1 and the purchaser U2, the transporter U3 can be determined more efficiently.

Further, the allocation unit 160 may refer to the address field of the user information 182 and transmit the image IM60 to the terminal device of the user whose distance from the address to the departure place is within a predetermined distance. Further, the information providing unit 150 may transmit the image IM60 to the third terminal device 400 in which the distance from the position information of the terminal device to the departure place is within a predetermined distance. As a result, it is possible to give priority to inquiries to users who can easily start transportation, and it is possible to suppress delay in transportation start time.

After the transporter U3 is confirmed, the information providing unit 150 informs the third terminal device 400 of the transporter U3 about the transportation of the vehicle M (for example, information about the vehicle M or information indicating a route from the departure point to the destination). Etc. are provided. Further, in the information providing unit 150, the transporter U3 is approaching the position of the transporter U3 associated with the position information of the third terminal device 400, the designated position of the seller U1 or the designated position of the purchaser U2. May be notified to the first terminal device 200 and the second terminal device 300.

Further, the processing unit 170 acquires information indicating that the transporter U3 has picked up the vehicle M from the first terminal device 200 of the exhibitor U1 or the terminal at the relay point, or the vehicle M is handed over from the transporter U3. When the information indicating that is acquired from the second terminal device 300 of the purchaser U2 or the terminal of the relay point, the process of paying the transportation fee to the transporter U3 may be performed. Further, the processing unit 170 stores a flag indicating that the transportation is completed in the transportation completion flag associated with the transportation ID of the transportation information 188.

[Processing flow]
Next, an example of the flow of processing executed by the intermediary server 100 will be described. The processes executed by the intermediary server 100 include, for example, a process related to registration, provision, and purchase of exhibited vehicle information exhibited by the first user (first process), and a process of transporting a vehicle for which a sale has been completed (first process). It is roughly divided into the second process). Hereinafter, the first and second processes will be described separately. Further, in the following, the first terminal device 200, the second terminal device 300, and the third terminal device 400 are intermediary servers by authentication processing of the seller U1, the purchaser (or the prospective purchaser) U2, the transporter U3, and the like. It is assumed that access to 100 is permitted.

FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of the first process executed by the computer of the intermediary server 100. In the first process, for example, the intermediary server 100 provides the first terminal device 200 with an image IM10 for inputting information about the vehicle to be exhibited, and receives the information about the vehicle to be exhibited input using the image IM10. It is executed at the timing. In the example of FIG. 15, first, the acquisition unit 130 acquires information about the vehicle to be exhibited from the first terminal device 200 operated by the exhibitor U1 (step S100), and registers the acquired information in the exhibition information DB 184 (step S100). Step S102). The processing of step S100 and step S102 and the processing after step S104 may be executed at different timings.

Next, the information providing unit 150 determines whether or not to provide the exhibited vehicle information by a browsing request or the like from the second terminal device 300 operated by the prospective purchaser U2 (step S104). When it is determined to provide the exhibited vehicle information, the intermediary unit 140 generates the first intermediary information based on the exhibited vehicle information (step S106). Next, the information providing unit 150 provides the generated first intermediary information to the second terminal device 300 of the prospective purchaser U2 who has requested to browse (step S108).

Next, the intermediary unit 140 determines whether or not the desired purchase price has been received from the second terminal device 300 of the prospective purchaser U2 (step S110). When it is determined that the desired purchase price has been accepted, the intermediary unit 140 causes the information providing unit 150 to provide the information indicating the desired purchase price to the first terminal device 200 of the seller U1 (step S112). Next, the intermediary unit 140 determines whether or not the sales permission has been accepted from the first terminal device 200 (step S114). If it is determined that the sale permission has been accepted, the processing unit 170 executes the purchase process for the purchaser U2 (step S116). The purchase process in step S116 includes, for example, a settlement process for the purchase price of the exhibited vehicle. Next, the processing unit 170 accepts from the second terminal device 300 to select a transportation pattern for transporting the vehicle for which the sale has been completed from the designated position of the seller U1 to the designated position of the purchaser U2 (step S118). Next, the processing unit 170 registers the information regarding the buying and selling of the exhibited vehicle in the buying and selling history information 186 (step S120). This ends the processing of this flowchart. Further, if it is determined in the process of step S104 that the exhibited vehicle information is not provided, if it is determined that the desired purchase price is not accepted in the process of step S110, it is determined that the sale permission is accepted in the process of step S114. If so, the processing of this flowchart ends.

Further, in the process of step S114 described above, when the sales permission is not accepted for the desired purchase price, the information providing unit 150 adjusts the information indicating that the sales are not permitted and the desired purchase price (for example,). Information prompting the increase) may be provided to the second terminal device 300. In this case, when the processing unit 170 receives the adjusted desired purchase price, the processing unit 170 performs the processing after step S112.

Further, in the above-mentioned first process, the process related to the inter-individual trading method has been described, but instead of this, an auction method such as an auction may be used. In this case, the processing unit 170 causes the prospective purchaser U2, who has presented the highest price among the plurality of desired purchase prices received in the predetermined period, to purchase the exhibited vehicle. Further, the processing unit 170 may have the prospective purchaser U2, who first presents the desired purchase price exceeding the selling price specified by the seller U1, purchase the exhibited vehicle. The method of purchasing may be determined for each vehicle to be exhibited, may be specified by the server administrator, or may be specified by the exhibitor U1.

FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of the second process executed by the computer of the intermediary server 100. In the example of FIG. 16, the allocation unit 160 sets a route from the designated position of the seller U1 to the designated position of the purchaser U2 (step S200). Next, the allocation unit 160 determines whether or not the transporter U3 for transporting the vehicle is assigned (step S202). If it is determined that the transporter U3 is not assigned, the intermediary unit 140 mediates between the purchaser U2 and the transporter U3, and generates a second intermediary information for assigning the transporter U3 that transports the vehicle M (). Step S204). Next, the information providing unit 150 discloses the generated second intermediary information on the network NW so as to be viewable (step S206).

Next, the allocation unit 160 determines whether or not the registration of the carrier U3 has been accepted (step S208). When it is determined that the registration of the carrier U3 is not accepted, the allocation unit 160 determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the second intermediary information was disclosed (step S210). If it is determined that the predetermined time has not elapsed, the process returns to the process of step S208. Further, when it is determined that the predetermined time has elapsed, the allocation unit 160 inquires the purchaser U2 or the seller U1 whether or not the transportation is possible (step S212), and determines whether or not the transportation is permitted (step S214). If it is determined that the transportation is not permitted (rejected), the allocation unit 160 arranges a predetermined carrier (step S216).

When the transporter U3 is assigned in the process of step S202, when it is determined that the registration of the carrier U3 is accepted in the process of step S208, when the purchaser U2 or the seller U1 permits the transport in the process of step S214. Or, after the processing of step S216, the information providing unit 150 registers the information about the carrier U3 in the transportation information 188 (step S218), and provides the seller U1, the purchaser U2, and the transporter U3 with the information about the transportation. (Step S220). Next, the processing unit 170 executes a process of paying a transportation fee to the transporter U3 after the transportation is completed (step S222). This ends the processing of this flowchart.

According to the embodiment described above, in the mediation server 100 (an example of the transportation mediation device), the first mediation information for mediating between the seller U1 who exhibited the vehicle M and the purchaser U2 who purchases the vehicle is used. When the sale and purchase of the vehicle is successful, the allocation unit 160 that allocates the transporter U3 that transports the vehicle M and the information providing unit that provides information for transporting the vehicle M to the transporter U3 assigned by the allocation unit 160. By providing the 150, it is possible to easily arrange the transportation of the vehicle for which the sale has been completed by the sale between individuals.
