BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

First, referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, a service (hereinafter referred to as "this service") to which a server (for example, see server 1 in FIG. 4 described later) according to an embodiment of the information processing apparatus of the present invention is applied. (called) will be described.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an overview of this service to which a server according to an information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied.

This service is a service that supports the transfer of assets (here, furniture) that are used in a predetermined place designated by the user (for example, an office if the user is a company).
That is, in the past, office furniture of a company was owned by the company as an asset of the company. When the office furniture is no longer needed, the company disposes of it by either discarding it or selling it as second-hand furniture to second-hand buyers.
On the other hand, in this service, when the purchased furniture is no longer used, the company does not simply dispose of the furniture, but creates a circulation of furniture by listing it on the sales management site of this service. be able to. Furthermore, this service supports the regular sharing of profits with the furniture maker, etc., when the exhibited furniture is purchased.

This service will be described in detail below.
First, the service provider SA operates a furniture sales management site related to this service.
Therefore, in step S11, the furniture maker puts up the furniture M1 on the furniture sales management site operated by the service provider SA.
Although the details will be described later, the company C1 can put furniture that is no longer in use in the same manner as the furniture maker on the furniture sales management site operated by the service provider SA.

Next, in step S12, the company C2 makes a lump-sum purchase of the furniture M1 exhibited via the furniture sales management site.
Next, in step S13, the furniture maker delivers the furniture M1 to the company C2.
As a result, the right to use the furniture M1 belongs to the company C2.

Next, in step S14, 70% of the lump-sum purchase cost in step S12 is paid to the furniture maker as a closing fee from the service provider SA. At this time, the service provider SA can charge 30% of the amount paid by the company C2 as a closing fee, that is, as a closing fee for selling furniture through this service.

Next, in step S15, the company C2 puts up the furniture M1 on the furniture sales management site operated by the service provider SA.
Specifically, for example, when the furniture M1 is no longer used, that is, when the furniture M1 is no longer needed, the company C2 can list the furniture M1.

Next, in step S16, the company C3 purchases the furniture M1 through the furniture sales management site.
Specifically, for example, the company C3 browses a furniture sales management site to find new furniture exhibited by a furniture maker or the like, furniture M1 exhibited as unnecessary for the company C2, etc. Purchase furniture M1 exhibited by company C2.
Next, in step S17, company C2 delivers furniture M1 to company C3.
Next, in step S18, 70% of the cost of the purchase in step S16 is paid by the service provider SA to the company C2 as a closing fee.
As a result, the right to use the furniture M1 belongs to the company C3.
Thus, by using this service, company C2 can easily dispose of furniture M1 and obtain the expenses for selling furniture M1.

Next, in step S19, 10% of the purchase cost in step S16 is paid to the furniture maker as a solidarity contribution. At this time, the service provider SA can charge 20% of the amount paid by the company C2 as a closing fee, that is, as a closing fee for selling furniture through this service.

That is, the service provider SA charges 20% to 30% (30% at step S144, 20% at step S19) of the amount paid by the company C2 as a closing fee, that is, the present service. It can be a closing fee for the sale of furniture through.

Then, in the same manner as the exhibition by the company C2 in step S15, as shown in step S11', the company C1, like the furniture maker, sends the unused furniture to the furniture sales management site operated by the service provider SA. can be put up for sale. In this way, each company and each furniture maker sells and purchases furniture via the sales management site of this service, thereby constructing a furniture circulation structure.

Summarizing the above, the present service can thus promote the circulation of the furniture M1 between companies without being discarded. This reduces the environmental impact of furniture manufacturing and disposal, and increases sustainability. In other words, it is possible to contribute from the perspective of so-called SDGs.
In addition, every time the furniture M1 becomes unnecessary in the company that has the right to use the furniture M1, and every time the furniture M1 is repeatedly exhibited and purchased via the furniture sales management site of this service, solidarity with the furniture maker. contribution is paid.
As a result, the furniture maker, who could only obtain consideration (contract fee in step S14 in this case) only when selling new furniture, will make a solidarity contribution each time the right to use the furniture M1 is transferred. be able to earn money.
As a result, it can be said that furniture makers can increase opportunities to obtain solidarity contributions by manufacturing furniture with a long service life.

Although details will be described later, in the circulation of the furniture M1 in FIG. 1, a tag sticker (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as "tag" or "TAG") is attached to the furniture M1. As a result, the service provider SA manages the furniture M1, and manages the model number, years of use, etc. of the furniture M1, thereby making it possible to easily exhibit or purchase the furniture M1. The details of the circulation of the furniture M1 in this service using tag stickers will be described later with reference to FIG.

FIG. 2 is a diagram explaining an outline of a subscription service provided as part of the present service of FIG.
For example, as shown in FIG. 2, new furniture is planned and produced in step S21. In this planning and production, the customer trends acquired in the sharing of used furniture in step S25, which will be described later, are fed back and taken into consideration. This makes it possible to plan and produce appropriate new furniture in line with customer trends.

In step S22, N (N is an integer value equal to or greater than 1) furniture including the new furniture planned and produced in this manner are placed in a predetermined place designated by the user U (for example, if the user U is a company, an office ), a proposal is made to make it available for subscription.
Although the details will be described later, as shown in step S22S, the used furniture shared in step S25 (that is, the circulating product) is also subject to subscription.
Here, the usage period of the subscription is not particularly limited, and can be freely selected by the user U, for example, within the range of 3 months to 24 months.

When this subscription proposal is accepted by the user U and a contract is concluded, in step S23, a plurality of pieces of furniture to be subscribed are placed in a predetermined place designated by the user U (for example, if the user U is a company, office).
Thereby, the user U can continue to use a plurality of pieces of furniture by subscription.
In other words, a plurality of pieces of furniture used in the subscription are subject to the automatic inventory of FIG. 1 for the user U.
After the subscription contract ends, the process proceeds to step S24.

In step S24, at least some of the used pieces of furniture are collected. Here, at least part of the furniture is used because the user U may purchase the furniture. That is, the user U can freely select purchase or return after using the furniture.
A plurality of pieces of furniture that have been used at the stage of step S24 are excluded from the objects of automatic inventory in FIG.
In step S25, the collected furniture, ie, the used furniture, becomes the object of sharing (rental). That is, in another user U's step S22S, it is proposed to the other user U as one of the subscription targets.
In this way, used furniture was often discarded because it was conventionally treated as an asset, but according to this service, it is shared and reused as a subscription target for another user.

In other words, according to this service, it is possible to realize the vision of "making homes the richest country in the world." be possible. In addition, it will be possible to "return profits to manufacturers who manufacture high-quality products (furniture)", thereby contributing to the development of the industry of these manufacturers.

FIG. 3 is a diagram explaining another example of application of the service of FIG.
In the example of FIG. 3, in this service, the furniture sold by the maker Ma is purchased by the user UA, and the second-order user UB and the third-order user UC sequentially purchase the furniture as second-hand goods.
The example of FIG. 3 will be specifically described below.

First, in step S31, the maker Ma makes an application and a tag purchase request to the service provider SA for the furniture to be sold. That is, the maker Ma applies to the service provider SA the photographs, product names, specifications, etc. of the furniture to be sold, and requests the purchase of the tag stickers to attach the tag stickers to the furniture.
Next, in step S32, the service provider activates the tag sticker using the server 1 based on the application from the maker Ma and the tag purchase request (the tag sticker is managed as being valid). Execute.
Next, in step S33, after the server 1 has been activated in step S32, the activated tag seal is shipped to the maker Ma.

In this way, the server 1 links and manages the furniture information applied by the maker Ma, and the activated tag sticker is sent to the maker Ma.
The details of the tag seal issuance and management by the server 1 will be described later with reference to FIG.

Furniture sold by the maker Ma is put up for sale on the furniture sales management site operated by the service provider SA, as described with reference to FIG.
In the following description, it is assumed that the furniture is purchased by the user (user) UA.

Next, in step S34, the maker Ma attaches a tag sticker to the furniture and delivers it to the user (user) UA.
In the following description, it is assumed that the furniture purchased by the user UA is no longer needed. That is, after step S34, the user UA uses the purchased furniture for any period during which the purchased furniture is required. Then, for example, the user UA does not need the furniture when expanding or contracting the office.

In step S35, the user UA who no longer needs the purchased furniture sells the furniture to the second-hand goods dealer Ta.
As a result, the user UA can receive the consideration (money) for the sale of the sold furniture from the second-hand goods dealer Ta.

Next, in step S36, the second-hand goods dealer Ta notifies the server 1 of the fact.
For example, on the tag sticker, information for accessing the server 1 by the second-hand goods dealer Ta, words prompting the access, and the like are printed. Specifically, for example, "If you have acquired this furniture, please access here." there is
The second-hand goods dealer Ta reads the tag sticker, accesses the server 1, and inputs predetermined information, thereby notifying that the furniture managed by the tag sticker of this service has been transferred.

Next, in step S37, based on the predetermined information input to the server 1 in step S36, the data of the tag sticker is authenticated, a notification fee is given, and a joint contribution fee is paid to the maker. . That is, the service provider SA pays the second-hand goods dealer Ta a notification fee as compensation for the act of notification in step S36. In addition, payment of a solidarity contribution corresponding to step S19 in the description of FIG. 1 is made to the maker Ma.
In this way, since the second-hand goods dealer Ta is paid the notification fee in step S37, the second-hand goods dealer Ta can be further motivated to make the notification in step S36.
Then, as described with reference to FIG. 1, the notified furniture is put up for sale on the furniture sales management site operated by the service provider SA.

Next, in step S38, the second-hand goods dealer Ta sells second-hand furniture to the secondary user (user) UB.
That is, the secondary user UB purchases the furniture exhibited on the furniture sales management site operated by the service provider SA (corresponding to step S16 in FIG. 1). As a result, the second-hand goods dealer Ta ships the furniture to the secondary user UB (corresponding to step S17 in FIG. 1).
In this way, the secondary user UB can purchase furniture that has been managed using tag stickers from the time the furniture is sold by the maker Ma. As a result, since the secondary user UB can accurately grasp the exact specifications of the furniture, the number of years of use, etc., it becomes possible to purchase second-hand furniture with peace of mind.

In step S39, the user UB, who no longer needs the purchased furniture, sells the furniture to the second-hand goods dealer Ta.
As a result, the user UA can receive the consideration (money) for the sale of the sold furniture from the second-hand goods dealer Ta.
Next, in step S40, the second-hand goods dealer Tb notifies the server 1 of the fact.
Next, in step S41, based on the predetermined information input to the server 1 in step S40, the data of the tag sticker is authenticated and a notification fee is given.

In this embodiment, although not shown, payment of the solidarity contribution to the manufacturer in step S37 is also made in step S41. In addition, in step S41, the user UA and the second-hand goods dealer Ta are also appropriately paid a solidarity contribution.
In this way, every time the furniture is sold (and the notification accompanying it), those who have had the right to use the furniture (manufacturer Ma, user UA, second-hand goods dealer Ta, secondary user UB, A solidarity contribution is appropriately paid to second-hand goods dealers Tb, etc.).
As a result, the person who has the right to use the furniture can obtain an incentive for submitting a notification of this service, and thus will be motivated to continue using this service.
Furthermore, since the solidarity contribution is paid even after the right to use the furniture is relinquished, the furniture is not easily disposed of as garbage, but is exhibited repeatedly. Sustainability can be enhanced.

Hereinafter, the description returns to the stage subsequent to step S41.
Next, in step S42, second-hand goods dealer Tb sells furniture as second-hand goods to tertiary users (users) UC.

Here, it is assumed that the tertiary user UC has determined that the furniture should be discarded because it has lost its value as a second-hand item because the furniture is worn.
In this case, in step S43, the tertiary user UC makes a disposal request to the disposal company CT.
Next, in step S44, the disposer CT who received the disposition request inputs predetermined information to the server 1, and reports that the furniture will be disposed of.
Next, in step S45, based on the predetermined information input to the server 1 in step S44, the data of the tag sticker is authenticated and a notification fee is given.

In this way, in this service, since remuneration is consistently paid to those who have the right to use the furniture from the maker Ma to the disposer CT, the furniture is properly managed.

In the above description, it is assumed that information for the second-hand goods dealer Ta to access the server 1 and words prompting it are printed on the tag sticker, but the present invention is not particularly limited to this. For example, the service provider SA informs the second-hand goods dealers Ta, Tb, etc. beforehand that if they use this service, the profit will be constantly shared. As a result, for example, it is expected that second-hand goods dealers Ta and Tb will make a notification simply by attaching a tag sticker with a two-dimensional bar code.

This service has been described above with reference to FIGS.

Also, the storage unit 18 of the server 1 is provided with an article management information DB 71 .

First, as a premise, TAGs are attached to furniture. The current licensee who currently owns the furniture (for example, company C2 between steps S14 and S15 in the example of FIG. 1) uses the current licensee's terminal 2 to read the TAG attached to the furniture. Thereby, the position of the furniture can be detected.
The article position information acquisition unit 51 acquires the position information of the tagged furniture.
Specifically, the TAG has an identifier or the like that uniquely identifies the piece of furniture. When this TAG is read by the current licensee terminal 2 , the position information is transmitted to the server 1 . The server 1 can determine whether or not the furniture exists at a given position at a given time.
That is, a TAG can be said to be a TAG capable of transmitting information including an identifier.
