<Usage example>
FIG. 6 is an image diagram showing the arrangement of equipment in room 1. As shown, room 1 is equipped with various facilities. For example, a washing machine 602 that allows you to pay only for what you use, a delivery locker 603 that allows you to temporarily store your luggage by a delivery company, a printer 604 that pays a usage fee depending on the number of sheets, and large equipment such as tools, steppers, and suitcases. Examples include, but are not limited to, 605, a kitchen 607 that pays a usage fee only for what is used, and a fixture 608 that displays products such as food. In the present embodiment, the room 1 may be equipped with a stockpile 606 for disasters.

FIG. 7 is a diagram schematically showing the relationship between users surrounding this system. As shown in the figure, the room 1 is an effective use of a vacant room such as a condominium. Specifically, it is divided into five categories: "Sharer", "Cooperator", "Purchaser", "User", and "Retailer". The name of the category is not particularly limited to these.

Sharer provides room 1 with goods for sale, shared home appliances, and other goods that can be shared simultaneously or sequentially by a plurality of people at a predetermined price. The same applies to Retailer. When providing an article or the like to these rooms 1, information (product name or price of the article) or the like related to the provided article is registered from the user terminal to the system according to the present embodiment. Of these, when the provided products are sold to other users or the provided equipment is used, a predetermined reward multiplied by a fixed rate is returned to the users who provided these.

The Retailer can utilize the room 1 as if it were a store, a warehouse, or a music performance. In this case, the Retailer may register the products to be sold and the services to be provided in the management server.

A Purchaser or User is a person who purchases goods or uses equipment or facilities in Room 1 (or outside Room 1). The behavior of these persons in the room is grasped by the above-mentioned camera 12, but the behavior of the user may be grasped by another method. Any method may be used as long as it is possible to appropriately grasp what is consumed or borrowed in the room 1.

The Cooperator performs microjobs that contribute to the operation of the entire room, such as tidying up and cleaning the room 1. Examples of micro jobs include maintenance of equipment in room 1, quality control, inspection and replenishment of equipment (including consumables), explanation of how to use equipment and equipment in the room, and explanation of how to use them. It can be exemplified. In addition, the work from the user to the packing of the entrusted goods may be performed as a micro job and handed over to the delivery company in cooperation with other businesses. For micro jobs, routine tasks (for example, delivery of luggage addressed to oneself to one's own room, regular orders, cleaning of one's own room using equipment such as a vacuum cleaner, etc.) may be prepared in advance in the system. In response to a request from a user and a reward proposal, matching with a Cooperator who accepts the request with the reward may be performed on the system. A reward is assigned to each microjob, and when the microjob is completed, the reward is paid to the Cooperator.

As described above, the profit obtained by the space 1 is also distributed to the owners of buildings such as condominiums.

<Processing flow>
FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a processing flow of this system. When the user holds the user terminal over the door authentication unit of the room 1, the authentication request is transmitted to the authentication unit (step S801). Information of the authenticated user is transmitted from the authentication unit to the management server (S802). If necessary, the authenticated user information may be sent from the user terminal to the management server (S802').

The behavior performed by the user in the room is imaged by the camera and the behavior is analyzed. By such analysis, it is determined which product the user purchased (picked up) and whether the equipment was used. Based on this determination, the camera sends product usage information (equipment usage information) to the management server (step S803). In addition, for example, the usage information may be transmitted from the user terminal to the management server by reading the purchase authentication terminal installed in the product display fixture or the like or the barcode of the product itself (step S803'). .. The management server performs a purchase process based on the usage information (step S804). The management server performs a predetermined payment process and transmits the result to the user terminal (S805).

FIG. 9 is an example of a screen displayed on the user terminal. Since the system according to this embodiment uses a vacant room such as a condominium, it is possible to search for similar condominiums in the neighborhood. Since the equipment installed in each room and the products stored in it are different, the user can find out in advance which condominium has what he / she needs.

In the system according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the user terminal 40 authenticated by the authentication unit 11 may directly communicate with the management server.

According to the embodiment described abnormally, since it is possible to know who entered the room 1 by the entry authentication to the room 1 and to trace the user's behavior with a camera or the like provided in the room, the payment can be made. The time and effort can be reduced.

The embodiments described above are merely examples for facilitating the understanding of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the interpretation of the present invention. It goes without saying that the present invention can be modified and improved without departing from the spirit thereof, and the present invention includes its equivalents.
