Description

The present invention relates to an information management server and system that manages information related to land.

Various information management servers and systems that manage information about land with the aim of making effective use of the land are known in the past. For example, an information management server and system that manages whether land without designated sections is full or not is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Such a server and system makes it possible to utilize undeveloped vacant land as a parking lot.
On the other hand, however, the use of the land is limited to parking lots, and the people seeking to use the land are limited to those who use cars.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2020-038461

The objective of the present invention is to provide an information management server and system that manages information about land, enabling it to be used for a variety of purposes and making effective use of the land.

To solve the above problems, the information management system of the present invention is an information management system that manages information about land, and includes a user terminal that is a user's information terminal, and an information management server. The information management server has communication means for communicating with the user terminal, information acquisition means for acquiring land information, which is information about land under management, from a storage device provided in the information management server itself or another server connected to the information management server via a network, provision means for transmitting the land information or provision information, which is information about the land, to the user terminal and providing it, usage request acceptance means for accepting, from the user terminal of a user who wishes to use the managed land, a request for use of the land as usage request information, and presentation means for transmitting and presenting usage form information, which is information about how the land should be used by the user who wishes to use the land, to the user terminal of the user. The usage request information includes information regarding at least one of the purpose or use of the land and the desired location, size, or section of the land to be used, received from the user terminal of the user who wishes to use the land.

The information management server may also have a generation means for generating the usage pattern information from the desired usage information.

The storage device may store learning data, which is information relating to the results of learning the association between at least the desired use information and the usage pattern information using a predetermined learning algorithm, and the generation means may generate the usage pattern information from the desired use information using the learning data stored in the storage device.

The generation means may be configured to derive information regarding the land usage fee based on at least one of the following information: the size, location, or condition of the land to be used; the surrounding market price of the land to be used; the time, period, day of the week, or time of day when the land will be used; and the weather on the land during the time of use; and the usage type information may be configured to include information regarding the land usage fee.

The provided information or usage information may also include information that allows comparison of price information when the land is used for different periods.

The presentation means may transmit the desired usage information directly to the user terminal as the usage mode information.

The information management server may also have a usage status acquisition means for acquiring usage status information relating to the user's land usage status and storing it in the storage device in association with the user's information.

The providing means or the presenting means is configured to transmit information corresponding to the usage status information relating to the user of the user terminal when transmitting information to the user terminal , and the information corresponding to the usage status information may include information on usage fees that vary depending on the usage status .

The information management server may also have a usage application acceptance means for accepting an application for land use related to the usage type information from the user terminal of the user who submitted the usage type information and storing the application in the storage device.

The information management server may have a user identification means for identifying the user based on information obtained from the information terminal of a user other than the user who is allowing the user to use the land to be used by the user or information on an image taken by the user , and a usage information status acquisition means for acquiring the usage status of the user who is allowing the user identified by the user identification means to use the land as usage status information of the user.

The usage request receiving means may be configured to receive usage requests from multiple users for at least a partially overlapping area of the same land and during at least a partially overlapping time period, and the presentation means may be configured to present usage pattern information for the content of use by the multiple users for at least a partially overlapping area of the same land and during at least a partially overlapping time period.

The usage request receiving means may be configured to, when accepting requests for use from multiple users for at least a partially overlapping area of the same land and at least a partially overlapping time period, receive information from the users wishing to use the land as to whether they intend to sublease the land to other users, and to receive information from the other users as to whether they intend to use the land in a sublease format, and the presentation means, when presenting information on the usage format of the content to be used by multiple users for at least a partially overlapping area of the same land and at least a partially overlapping time period, also present information on whether the land is subleased.

The information management server may also have a usage application acceptance means for accepting applications for land use related to the usage type information from the user terminals of each of multiple users who have submitted the usage type information and storing the applications in the storage device.

The provision means may also be configured to provide the user terminal with information to be shared by multiple users for at least a partially overlapping area of the same land during at least a partially overlapping time period.

The system may also have a usage status acquisition means for acquiring usage status information for each of the multiple users in a situation where multiple users are jointly using at least partially overlapping areas of the same land during at least partially overlapping time periods, and storing the information in association with the user information in the storage device.

On the other hand, the information management server of the present invention is an information management server that manages information related to land, and includes: communication means for communicating with a user terminal, which is a user's information terminal; information acquisition means for acquiring land information, which is information related to the land being managed, from a storage device installed in the information management server itself or another server connected to the information management server via a network; provision means for transmitting the land information or provision information, which is information related thereto, to the user terminal and providing it; use request acceptance means for accepting, from the user terminal of a user who wishes to use the managed land, a request for use of the land as use request information; and presentation means for transmitting and presenting usage form information, which is information regarding how the land should be used by the user who wishes to use the land, to the user terminal of the user; the use request information includes information regarding at least one of the purpose or use of the land and the desired location, size, or section of the land to be used, received from the user terminal of the user who wishes to use the land.

According to the configuration of the present invention, when a user's request to use land is received, information regarding at least one of the purpose or use of the land and the desired location, size, or section of the land is also acquired. Because this information can accommodate various land uses, the land's use is not limited to a specific purpose, enabling the land to be used more effectively.

FIG. 10 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a general user terminal according to another embodiment.

Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an information management system to which the present invention is applied. The information management system shown in the figure comprises an information management server 10 that manages information about scattered vacant lots and other land that is constantly or periodically unused, with the aim of making effective use of the land; a management terminal 20, which is an information terminal installed on the managed land L (see Figure 3), the land for which the information management server 10 manages information; a management user terminal 30, which is an information terminal of a management user who requests land management; and a general user terminal (user terminal) 40, which is an information terminal of a general user who wishes to use the managed land L.

The information management server 10 and each of the information terminals 20, 30, and 40 are connected to each other so that they can communicate with each other via a global network 50 such as the Internet. The various pieces of information managed by this information management system may be stored in the storage device 12 (see Figure 3) of the information management server 10 itself, or some or all of the information may be stored in the storage device (not shown) of a data server 60, which is a separate server that can communicate with the information management server 10 via the network 50.

Anyone who wishes, at that time or in the future, to manage land that they can use freely at their own discretion through rights such as ownership or possession, performs a management user registration process on their own information terminal to request the information management server 10 to become a management user. In response, the information management server 10 accepts the person's request for management user registration, and executes a management user registration process to store the information itself or an arrangement of the information as management user information in its own storage device 12 or in the storage device of the data server 60, adding the person as a management user. In this way, people who wish to manage land are successively registered (added) as management users.

Next, the management user performs a management application process using their own management user terminal 20 to apply to the information management server 10 for management of the above-mentioned land. In response, the information management server 10 accepts the land management application from the management user terminal 20 and stores the information as land information in their own storage device 12, or executes a management application acceptance process to have the data server 60 store the information in a storage device. In this way, managed land L managed on this information management system is added as needed. Of course, it is also possible for one management user to request management of multiple pieces of land.

On the other hand, a person wishing to use the managed land L first performs a general user registration request process (user registration request process) using their own information terminal to request the information management server 10 to become a general user. In response, the information management server 10 accepts the person's request for general user registration and executes a general user registration process (user registration process) to store the information itself or an arrangement of the information as general user information in its own storage device 12 or in the storage device of the data server 60, adding the person as a general user. In this way, people wishing to use the land are successively registered (added) as general users.

Next, the information management server 10 executes an information acquisition process to acquire land information for one or more managed lands L stored in its own storage device 12 or the storage device of the data server 60, and then executes a provision process to provide the land information itself or related provision information to the general user terminal 40. Incidentally, the provision process by the information management server 10 is executed appropriately in response to searches or requests from general users via the general user terminal 40. The provision information and the land information may be completely identical in content, or the provision information may omit information that general users do not need to know. Furthermore, when a general user receives land information, the general user may specify their desired requirements and limit the managed lands L for which they will receive land information, making it easier for the general user to search for land they wish to use.

When a managed user receives information relating to one or more managed lands L and finds a piece of land that they wish to use, they perform a usage request process using their general user terminal 40 to send a request to use the land to the information management server 10.

In response to this, the information management server 10 accepts a request to use land from the general user terminal 40 and executes a request acceptance process to store the information as desired use information in its own storage device 12 or in the storage device of the data server 60.

After executing the usage request acceptance process, the information management server 10 then executes a presentation process in which it transmits and presents usage pattern information, which is information regarding how the general user will use the land that the general user wishes to use, to the general user's general user terminal 40. Incidentally, the usage pattern information may be perfectly matched with the corresponding desired usage information, or various arrangements may be made based on that information. This will be described in more detail below.

In response, the general user terminal 40 executes a usage pattern acquisition process to acquire the usage pattern information transmitted from the information management server 10. The general user of the general user terminal 40 acquired by the usage pattern acquisition process checks the content of the usage pattern information, and then, if they decide to use the land related to the usage pattern information in the manner related to the usage pattern information, they use their own general user terminal 40 to perform a usage application process to the information management server 10 to apply for use of the land.

In response to this, the information management server 10 accepts land use applications from the general user terminal 40 and executes an application acceptance process in which the information is stored as application information in its own storage device 12 or in the storage device of the data server 60.

Figure 2 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the management and use of managed land using the information management system shown in Figure 1. Managed land L can be an undeveloped piece of land that has not been partitioned into parking spaces for one vehicle. The management terminal 20 described above is installed on the managed land L side. Also installed on the managed land L side are one or more (two in the illustrated example) cameras 26 (see Figure 5), which are a type of usage status detection means for checking the usage status of the land, and one or more (12 in the illustrated example) LEDs 27 (see Figure 5), which are a type of notification means for providing assistance to general users, etc. with usage. Incidentally, in this example, the cameras 26 and LEDs 27 are connected to the management terminal 20 and form part of it.

The management terminal 20 obtains the usage application information or related information for the managed land L from the information management server 10 at the time when the general user associated with the usage application information intends to use the managed land L or at a time before that, and executes a usage guidance process to guide the general user on usage in accordance with the usage application information.

Meanwhile, the management terminal 20 executes a usage status collection process in which it sequentially stores and accumulates usage status information, which is information related to usage status detected by the camera 26 or the like, in its own storage device 22 (see Figure 5), and a usage status provision process in which it transmits and provides the usage status information to the information management server 10 at a predetermined timing (for example, each time it is detected or after a predetermined time has passed). In response, the information management server 10 executes a usage status acquisition process in which it acquires the transmitted usage status information and stores it in its own storage device 12 or data server 60. Incidentally, the usage status information also includes information that enables the information management server 10 to identify the general user whose usage status is being checked.

Next, a specific example of the usage guidance process will be explained based on the illustrated example. On this managed land L, multiple LEDs 27 are evenly arranged in parallel, vertically and horizontally at predetermined intervals throughout the entire land, and guidance is provided by lighting or flashing one or more LEDs 27 installed in the section to be used by general users who are the target of guidance related to the above-mentioned usage guidance process (in other words, the location and range to be used).

For example, if a general user plans to use section A, one of all the LEDs 27 installed within section A will be turned on or flashing to notify and guide the general user of the available locations and areas within the managed land L. Also, if a general user plans to use section B, all of the LEDs 27 installed within section B (a total of four LEDs 27) will be turned on or flashing to notify and guide the general user of the available locations and areas within the managed land L.

Note that the usage guidance process is not limited to this form, and may be implemented using audio guidance via a speaker or the like, or the guidance may be displayed on the general user terminal 40 of the general user who is the target of the guidance.

Incidentally, the usage guidance process may be executed by a direct instruction from the general user terminal 40 of the general user who is the target of the guidance to the management terminal 20, or by an instruction from the general user terminal 40 to the management terminal 20 via the information management server 10. Alternatively, the general user terminal 40 may detect that the general user has arrived at or near the managed land L, and the usage guidance process may be executed using information related to the detection results.

Next, with reference to Figures 3 to 8, we will explain the configuration of each server 10, 60 and each information terminal 20, 30, 40 for implementing the above-mentioned series of information processing with the aim of making effective use of land.

Figure 3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the information management server. The information management server 10 is a computer such as an AT-compatible machine, and includes a control unit 11 composed of a CPU, RAM, etc., and capable of implementing various functions (means) by executing programs; a storage device 12 including RAM and an SSD or HDD; a wired or wireless communication interface 13 that enables communication via a network 50; an input interface 14 such as a keyboard, mouse, or touch panel for inputting information; and an output interface 15 such as a monitor, printer, or speaker for outputting information.

The control unit 11 includes at least a management-side user registration means 11a that executes the above-mentioned management-side user registration process by communicating with the management-side user terminal 30 via the network 50 using the communication interface 13, a management application acceptance means 11b that executes the above-mentioned management application acceptance process by communicating with the management-side user terminal 30 via the network 50 using the communication interface 13, a general user registration means 11c that executes the above-mentioned general user registration process by communicating with the general user terminal 40 via the network 50 using the communication interface 13, an information acquisition means 11d that executes the above-mentioned information acquisition process, a provision means 11e that executes the above-mentioned provision process by communicating with the general user terminal 40 via the network 50 using the communication interface 13, and a network access means 11f that executes the above-mentioned provision process by communicating with the general user terminal 40 via the network 50 using the communication interface 13. The system includes a usage request acceptance unit 11f that executes the above-mentioned usage request acceptance process by communicating with the general user terminal 40 via the network 50, a generation unit 11g that performs a generation process to generate usage mode information corresponding to the usage request accepted by the usage request acceptance process based on the usage request information related to the usage request, a presentation unit 11h that executes the above-mentioned presentation process by communicating with the general user terminal 40 via the network 50 using the communication interface 13, a usage application acceptance unit 11i that executes the above-mentioned usage application acceptance process by communicating with the general user terminal 40 via the network 50 using the communication interface 13, and a usage status acquisition unit 11j that executes the above-mentioned usage status acquisition process by communicating with the management terminal 20, etc. via the network 50 using the communication interface 13.

The management user information stored in the storage device 12 of the information management server 10 or data server 60 by the management user registration process includes information that identifies and authenticates each management user, such as the name, address, contact information, ID, and password of each management user.

The land information stored in the storage device 12 of the information management server 10 or data server 60 by the management application acceptance process includes information for identifying each piece of managed land and information necessary to determine its usage.

For example, information for identifying managed land includes information such as its address. On the other hand, information necessary to determine the use of managed land includes information on the land's area, whether the land is zoned or not, other information indicating the land's condition, information on the land's possible uses, and information on the costs required to use the land (price information).

Price information for managed land can also be freely set by the managing user who requested its management. In that case, it is desirable to include this price information in the land information for the managed land, in a manner that indicates the area and time unit price to be used. On the other hand, when setting price information for managed land, the managing user may refer to price standard information, which is information regarding specified standards. In this case, the price standard information is data that does not need to be different for each managed piece of land, and so it may be stored separately from the land information in the storage device 12 of the information management server 10 or data server 60.

However, it is also possible to use different price standard information for each managing user, in which case the above-mentioned price standard information is included in the managing user information for each managing user. It is also possible to use different price standard information for each managed piece of land, in which case the above-mentioned price standard information is included in the land information for each managed piece of land.

Of course, when using price reference information as described above, it is not necessary to include price information itself in the land information. In this case, the usage fee, which is the fee that a general user wishing to use a certain managed piece of land must actually pay as consideration for that use, is calculated based on the price reference information during the generation process described above, and information regarding that usage fee is included in the usage type information.

This price reference information may include, for example, information regarding the usage price per unit of time (e.g., 1 minute) and/or unit of area (e.g., 1 square meter), and may further include information regarding such prices organized by time period, day of the week, and/or status of usage. Furthermore, by using information on the date, time, and time of usage, it is possible to predict the weather while using the managed land, and information on the usage price depending on that weather may be included in the price reference information.

In addition, the usage fee may be varied for each general user depending on the individual general user's past usage of the managed land. In such cases, the price standard information will include information on the standard by which the usage price will be changed depending on the usage status.

In addition, information on the utilization prices of various types of land, including land that is not under management, may be detected and collected sequentially, the collected information may be organized appropriately according to conditions such as region, location, and size, and the organized information may be used to perform a price information collection process that updates the price reference information stored in the storage device 12 of the information management server 10 or data server 60 as needed. In this case, a price information collection means 11k that performs the price information collection process is provided in the control unit 11.

The information that changes for each general user depending on usage does not need to be limited to information related to the price of the managed land; the entire usage information may be changed depending on each general user's past usage of the managed land. This has great benefits, as it makes it possible to present usage status, including the cost of using the managed land, while distinguishing between well-behaved and bad-behaved general users.

As mentioned above, the information provided by the provision process includes land information or related information, but in this case, multiple pieces of land information may be provided together rather than a single piece of land information.Furthermore, the provided information may include some or all of the land information for other managed lands that can be compared to the managed land related to the provided information, as well as information about land that is not managed land, to make it easier for general users to determine the information provided.

Incidentally, the information to be included in the provided information may be obtained from price reference information that includes reference information for each region and location, or it may be obtained each time via network 50 from a server (not shown) that stores real estate-related information.

Note that while we have explained the process of changing the information included depending on the usage status of individual general users, it is also possible to perform similar processing on this provided information, changing its content as appropriate depending on usage status.

The desired use information stored in the storage device 12 of the information management server 10 or data server 60 by the desired use acceptance process includes the managed land that is desired to be used, the desired date, time period, and day of the week for use, as well as the purpose and use of the use, and at least one (in this example, all) of the desired location or size (in other words, area) or section of the managed land that is desired to be used.

The usage pattern information provided to the target general user terminal 40 by the presentation process and stored in the storage device 12 of the information management server 10 or data server 60 must be specific enough to allow the general user to clearly understand the usage pattern as shown in Figure 2. For example, it may include information identifying the managed land that the general user wishes to use, information identifying the location, size, or plot of land that the general user can use within the managed land, information identifying the date, time, or day of the week that the general user will use the managed land, information identifying the purpose for which the general user will use the managed land, and the above-mentioned price information for the managed land.

In other words, the desired use information described above includes information from which the use pattern information can be derived directly or indirectly, or includes the information itself that is included in the use pattern information. For example, the use of the managed land can be derived from the purpose for which the managed land is to be used. Of course, it is possible to include various types of information other than those described above in the desired use information, as long as the information is consistent with this purpose.

By the way, the generation process generates usage mode information from the desired usage information, but if all usage mode information is included in the desired usage information, the generation process becomes unnecessary, and it becomes possible to omit the generation means 11g.

On the other hand, as part of the generation process, the generation means 11g uses all or part of information such as the location of the managed land that is desired to be used, the desired location or size of the managed land that is desired to be used, the market price around the managed land, the time, period, day of the week or time of use, and the weather on the managed land during the use when deriving the price of the usage fee itself and its unit price related to the usage type information corresponding to the desired usage information.

This allows the generation means 11g to set an appropriate price and unit price for the usage fee itself. Furthermore, by referencing the price reference information described above when deriving the price, it becomes possible to set a more appropriate price. Incidentally, necessary information such as surrounding market prices may be obtained from price reference information that includes reference information for each region and location, but it may also be obtained each time via the network 50 from a server (not shown) that stores real estate-related information.

In addition, the usage pattern information presented to general users may include information that can be compared with the original usage fee calculated from the desired usage information that generated it, such as the usage fee itself or its unit price when using surrounding managed land under similar conditions, or the usage fee itself or its unit price when using the same managed land under similar conditions on different days, times, or periods. The means of obtaining this information are the same as those described above.

The general user checks the usage mode information provided by the submission means 11h on their own general user terminal 40 and either accepts all of it and processes the usage application, or requests partial changes and accepts the other details and processes the usage application, thereby sending the usage application information related to the usage application to the information management server 10. Of course, the general user can also check the usage mode information and abandon the usage application process. When the information management server 10 accepts a usage application via its usage application acceptance means 11i, it stores the usage application information related to the usage application in its own storage device 12 or the storage device of the data server 60.

By the way, in this series of processes, the degree of accuracy can be evaluated by the generation process by comparing the usage application information with the corresponding usage pattern information, and the results of this evaluation can be used for subsequent accurate generation processes.

In other words, to improve the accuracy of the generation process that generates usage pattern information from desired usage information, a learning process may be performed that uses a predetermined learning algorithm to learn from this information what type of usage pattern information should be presented for a certain desired usage information to increase the rate at which it will be adopted as is as usage application information (in other words, the relationship between the desired usage information and the corresponding usage pattern information).

In this case, the control unit 11 is provided with a learning means 11l that executes this learning process. Information relating to the results of learning by this learning means 11l is stored as learning data in the storage device 12 of the information management server 10 or the data server 60. The learning algorithm may be an algorithm for machine learning or an algorithm for deep learning. Incidentally, the data used in this learning process is, in principle, three types of data: desired use information, usage format information, and usage application information, but it may also be two types: desired use information and usage application information.

By using such a learning algorithm, it is possible to present accurate use pattern information even from somewhat vague desired use information. For example, simply by inputting the intended use and purpose of the managed land as desired use information, it is possible to present the location, size, and plot of land within the managed land that is suitable for that desired use as use pattern information. Furthermore, even if the desired use is not specifically identified as managed land, but rather by specifying only the intended use, purpose, required size, etc., it is possible to identify the managed land and generate information regarding the specific use pattern of that managed land through the generation process.

One or both of the storage device 12 and the storage device of the data server 60 are provided with a management user data table 12a, which is an area for storing the management user information (management user information storage area), a land data table 12b, which is an area for storing the land information (land information storage area), a general user data table 12c, which is an area for storing the general user information (general user information storage area), and a usage data table 12d, which is an area for storing usage information (usage information storage area) including desired usage information, usage format information, usage application information, and usage status information.

When the price information collection means 11k is provided in the control unit 11, a price information storage area 12e, which is an area for storing price information, is also provided in the storage device 12 of the information management server 10 or the data server 60. When the learning means 11l is provided in the control unit 11, a learning data storage area 12f, which is an area for storing learning data, is provided in the storage device 12 of the information management server 10 or the data server 60.

Figure 4 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the data structure of the storage device. Each record in the management user data table 12a records one piece of management user information prepared individually for each management user, and has the following fields: "Management User ID," in which the management user ID, which is the primary key for distinguishing between recorded records (management user information), is input, and "Management User Information," in which the management user information of the management user that is the subject of the record, is input.

Each record in the land data table 12b stores one piece of land information prepared individually for each piece of managed land, and its fields include a "Land ID" in which the land ID, which is the primary key used to distinguish between recorded records (land information), is input; a "Management User ID" in which the management user ID of the managing user who requested management of the managed land that is the subject of the record is input; and a "Land Information" in which the land information for the managed land is input.

Since the land data table 12b has a field for inputting the management user ID, which is the primary key of the management user data table 12a, a one-to-many relationship is established between the management user data table 12a and the land data table 12b. Therefore, each piece of land information is stored in association with the management user information of the management user who requested management of the managed land related to the land information, but it is possible to associate information on multiple managed lands with information on a single management user.

Each record in the general user data table 12c records one piece of general user information prepared individually for each general user, and has the following fields: "General User ID," in which the general user ID is input, which serves as the primary key for distinguishing between recorded records (general user information), and "General User Information," in which the general user information of the general user that is the subject of the record is input.

Each record in the usage data table 12d stores one piece of usage information that is individually prepared for each use of managed land, and its items (fields) include a "usage ID" in which the usage ID, which is the primary key that distinguishes between recorded records (usage information), is input; a "land ID" in which the land ID of the managed land related to the use that is the subject of the record is input; a "general user ID" in which the general user ID of the general user who will be the main user of the use, a "desired usage information" in which desired usage information received prior to the use is input; "usage type information" in which usage type information to be sent prior to the use is input; a "usage application information" in which application information related to the use is input; and a "usage status information" in which usage status information related to the use is input.

Since usage data table 12d has a field for inputting the land ID, which is the primary key of land side table 12b, a one-to-many relationship is established between land side data table 12b and usage data table 12d. Therefore, each piece of usage information is stored in association with the land information of the managed land related to that usage information, but it is also possible to associate multiple pieces of usage information described above with one piece of land information.

Furthermore, since usage data table 12d has a field for inputting the general user ID, which is the primary key of general user table 12c, a one-to-many relationship is established between general user data table 12c and usage data table 12d. Therefore, each piece of usage information is stored in association with the general user information related to that usage information, but it is possible to associate multiple pieces of the above-mentioned usage information with one piece of general user information.

Figure 8 is a flow diagram showing the steps in a series of processes from a request to use managed land to a use application. As shown in the figure, the information management method for managing information about land using this information management system includes the steps of: a step (S101) in which the use request means 41a of the general user terminal 40 of the general user who receives the provided information from the information management server 10 executes a use request process; a step (S102) in which the use request acceptance means 11f of the information management server 10 accepts the use request from the general user terminal 40 of the general user and executes a use request acceptance process to store the use request information related to the use request in the use data table 12d; a step (S103) in which the generation means 11g of the information management server 10 executes a generation process to generate use form information from the use request information; and a step (S104) in which the presentation means 11h of the information management server 10 presents the use form information generated by the generation process to the general user terminal 40 of the general user. the general user terminal 40 of the general user described above; a step (S105) in which the usage pattern acquisition means 41b executes a usage pattern acquisition process to acquire the usage pattern information transmitted from the information management server 10 so that the general user can confirm it; a step (S106) in which the usage application means 41c of the general user terminal 40 of the general user described above, which has confirmed the usage pattern information, executes a usage application process to apply for use of the managed land related to the usage pattern information; and a step (S107) in which the usage application acceptance means 11i of the information management server 10 accepts the usage application from the general user terminal 40 of the general user described above and executes a usage application acceptance process to store the usage application information related to the usage application in the usage data table 12d.

The information management server, system, and method configured as described above can accept general users' highly versatile desired use information that can reflect a variety of requests, and can present the general users with usage patterns that accurately reflect this desired use information, thereby increasing opportunities for general users to use the managed land and improving its convenience. At the same time, the managing user also benefits, as it can now make effective use of unused or infrequently used land. In particular, when generating usage pattern information, it is possible to more accurately reflect the requests of general users by utilizing the results of learning from past data.

In addition, because it is easy to change the area to suit your needs, there is no need to limit the size of vehicles that can be used as a parking lot. It can be used to park a variety of vehicles, including large vehicles such as dump trucks and regular cars, as well as ultra-compact EVs, bicycles, motorcycles, kitchens, and trailer homes.

It is also possible to accommodate a variety of usage patterns for a particular piece of managed land, such as regular use only on weekday evenings, or use all day on specific days of the week. In addition to parking, the land can also be used for a variety of purposes, such as holding seminars or funerals, installing vending machines, selling used cars, or temporarily storing luggage.

In addition, the managed land can be used by corporations for periods of several months or even several years, contributing to cost reductions when opening or closing a store. Conversely, the managed land can also be used by individuals for periods of several hours or even several minutes, making it highly versatile.

In addition, notification means such as LED 27 and speakers can be used not only to provide usage guidance, but also to warn against fraudulent use by general users and fraudulent use by third parties.

In addition, the usage status presented to general users includes information regarding the costs of using the managed land, and this information regarding costs also includes, in a comparable form, information regarding the costs that would be incurred if the managed land were used on a date, time, or period other than that desired by the general user, thereby enabling the general user to more appropriately decide whether or not to apply for use.

Furthermore, the cost of using managed land reflects various information such as surrounding market prices, the day of the week, and the weather, making it more understandable for general users and promoting a variety of uses for managed land.

In addition, water, electricity, or gas facilities available to general users may be installed on the managed land, and the costs of these may be added to the usage fee.

In addition, if the reservation for the managed land that corresponds to the general user's desired use is filled with reservations by other general users, information about other managed land in a similar state may be included in the provided information and usage type information to guide the use of other managed land.

Furthermore, as shown by the virtual lines in Figure 7, a camera 46 and a GPS sensor 47 (location information acquisition sensor) may be provided in the general user terminal 40 as usage status detection means for collecting usage status, and a usage status collection means 41d and a usage status provision means 41e may be provided in the control unit 41.

The general user's use of the managed land is then collected by their own general user terminal 40 and sent to the information management server 10 via the network 50 for provision. Briefly explaining how the GPS sensor 47 is used to understand usage, it detects arrival at the managed land for which a usage application has been made, or arrival at the area within the managed land for which a usage application has been made, and correlates this information with time information, making it possible to understand usage. Meanwhile, the camera 46 is used to collect usage information in the same way as the camera 26 on the management terminal 40 described above, by capturing images of usage on the user's own managed land.

Furthermore, as described above, the control unit 41 may be provided with a usage guidance means 41f that executes the above-mentioned usage guidance process to provide usage guidance to general users operating the general user terminal 40 by displaying it on a touch panel monitor of the general user terminal 40, etc.

Furthermore, as shown by the phantom lines in Figures 3 and 5, the control units 11, 21 of either or both of the information management server 10 and the management terminal 20 may be provided with payment means 11m, 21d that perform payment processing related to the payment of usage fees for the managed land, allowing general users to pay usage fees using the management terminal 20 or their own general user terminal 40.

Incidentally, payment processing on the information management server 10 is carried out based on information sent from the management terminal 20 and general user terminal 40 via the network 50. While payment processing by the management terminal 20 can use such methods, it is also possible to make payments using credit cards or two-dimensional barcodes. In this case, a payment terminal 28 that reads the information from the credit card or two-dimensional barcode and uses it for payment is provided on the management terminal 20.

By enabling payments through this information management system in this way, users will be able to use discounts from coupons and various points awarded for other services to pay for their usage fees, which will be a great benefit to general users.

Furthermore, as shown by the phantom lines in Figure 5, a reader/writer (information reading device) 29 that reads information from an IC card or IC tag and writes new information to it may be provided on the management terminal 20. A general user may then carry a medium equipped with this IC card or IC tag, and have the reader/writer 29 read the information embedded therein or write new information to it. This makes it possible to manage entry and exit to the managed land, grasp the general user's usage of the managed land, and perform accounting procedures. In this case, it is not necessary for the general user to carry their own general user terminal 40, which is highly convenient.

Furthermore, the management user can use the management user terminal 30 to change in real time the unit price for using the managed land for which they have requested management. The unit price set for a piece of land is transmitted to the information management server 10 and then to the management terminal 20 installed on that land, where it can be quickly displayed on the monitor.

Next, we will explain the differences from the above-mentioned embodiment based on Figures 9 to 12.

Figure 9 is a schematic diagram of an information management system according to another embodiment of the present invention. In the above-described embodiment, users of land whose application for use has been accepted from a general user are limited to that general user. However, in this embodiment, it is possible to accommodate cases where users who have been granted permission by the general user to use the land are allowed to use the land, taking into consideration situations such as allowing customers of a store to use the land as a parking lot.

The user terminal 70, which is the user's information terminal, can communicate with the management terminal 20, general user terminal 40, etc. via the network 50.

Figure 10 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an information management server according to another embodiment, Figure 11 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a management terminal according to another embodiment, and Figure 12 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a general user terminal according to another embodiment. The control unit 11 of the information management server 10 of this embodiment is provided with a user identification means 11n that performs user identification processing to identify general users who are allowing users to use the land, using information from users such as information obtained through communication with the user terminal 70 of the user using the land via wireless LAN or Bluetooth (registered trademark) or information from captured images.

As an example of the user identification means 11n, the control unit 21 of the management terminal 20 is provided with an identification information collection means 21e. The identification information collection means 21e identifies the user based on information obtained through communication with the user terminal 70 or an image of the user captured by the camera 26 (i.e., information obtained from the user), and transmits the user's identification information to the information management server 10. Incidentally, information obtained through communication with the user's user terminal 70 may include, for example, a MAC address, which is unique information that identifies the user terminal 70, or unique information generated by the user terminal 70.

Meanwhile, users visit stores run or managed by general users and shop, eat, drink, or receive other services. In response to this, the control unit 41 of the general user terminal 40 of this general user is also provided with identification information collection means 41g, which has the same configuration as the identification information collection means 21e, and the user's identification information obtained in this way is associated with the general user's information and transmitted to the information management server 10.

The above-mentioned user identification means 11n of the information management server 10 references the user's identification information and identifies the general users who have authorized the user to use the land. In other words, for a certain piece of land, it associates the general user who applied to use the land with the user who is using the land.

In the illustrated example, after this association, the usage status of the user using the land is collected by the usage status collection means 21b of the management terminal 20. The usage status information collected in this manner is provided to the information management server 10 by the usage status providing means 21c. The usage status acquisition means 11j of the information management server 10 stores the usage status information related to the user's use of the land in the storage device 12 as usage status information for general users who are authorized to use the land by the user.

With the above configuration, a general user who runs or manages a store can rent multiple parking spaces by the hour, day, month, or year, and can calculate the usage fee (rent) to be charged to the general user based on the frequency and percentage of use of the parking spaces by the general user's customers (users).

By the way, if the parking lot is intended for use by customers visiting the store, most of the spaces will be empty at night, so the spaces may be rented out to other general users or their customers during that time.

Incidentally, a user's usage status is synonymous with the usage status of general users who have authorized that user to use the land. Therefore, if the usage status is good, the rent can be reduced in that month or the following month, while if the usage status is poor, the rent can be increased in that month or the following month, just like in the above-mentioned embodiment. Furthermore, if a user is using land and cannot be linked to any general users who have applied to use the land, it is presumed that the user is using the land fraudulently. In other words, the above-mentioned configuration makes it easy to identify fraudulent land use.

In addition, as shown by the virtual lines in Figure 12, the control unit 41 of the general user terminal 40 of the general user installed in the store may be provided with an identification information assignment means 41h that issues code information such as a two-dimensional barcode that enables the general user to be specified (identified) as identification information and transmits it to the user terminal 70 of the user.

This code information is sent to the information management server 10, or the user can have the code information read by the management terminal 20 from their own user terminal 70 via the camera 26 or communication interface 23, etc.

The information management server 10 uses the code information to execute processing using the user identification means 11n. The management terminal 20 uses this code information (specifically, to make inquiries to the information management server 10 and send usage status information with court information attached) to open and close gates, collect usage status information, etc.

As shown by the virtual lines in Figure 9, a beacon 80 may be used to indicate that a general user has authorized use.

Specifically, this beacon 80 is transferred or loaned to the user by a general user who handles the accounting and management of the store. The beacon 80 is configured to transmit the general user's identification information to the communication partner at predetermined intervals. This identification information is transmitted in advance from the general user's general user terminal 40 or the like to the information management server 10 before the beacon 80 is loaned or transferred. After the loan or transfer, the beacon 80 communicates with the management terminal 20, which receives the general user's identification information and uses it to determine whether to open or close the gate and collect usage information according to the processing procedure described above.

In addition to cases where a general user allows one or more users to use a specified area of land for which the user has applied for use, it is also possible for multiple general users to apply for use of a part or all of the land in an overlapping area for a time period that overlaps in part or in full, taking advantage of the fact that the general user can be identified from the user, allowing for mutual use, i.e., a form of shared use.

To achieve this, the usage request receiving means 11f is configured to receive usage requests from multiple users for areas of partial or full overlapping land and times of partial or full overlap. In addition, the presentation means 11h is configured to present usage pattern information for the content of use by multiple users for areas of partial or full overlapping land and times of partial or full overlap.

The usage application receiving means 11i is also configured to receive applications for land use related to the usage type information from the user terminals 40 of multiple users who have submitted this usage type information, and store the applications in the storage device 12.

Furthermore, the provision means 11e is configured to provide to the user terminal 40 information to be shared by multiple users for areas of the same land that overlap partially or completely, during time periods that overlap partially or completely.

In accordance with these configurations, the usage status acquisition means 11j is configured to acquire usage status information for each of multiple users when multiple users are jointly using the same land in a partially or fully overlapping area during a partially or fully overlapping time period, and to associate this information with the user information and store it in the storage device.

With this configuration, multiple general users who operate or manage different stores can apply for multiple parking spaces for a specified period of time all at once. The usage status of customers (usage) who visit each of the multiple general users' stores and use the parking spaces can be compiled, and the rent each user pays can be calculated based on the ratio of their total usage time, allowing for more flexible land use.

In addition, this embodiment can of course accommodate cases where multiple general users, regardless of the user, share the same land in areas that overlap in part or in whole, during times that overlap in part or in whole, assuming their own use.

Furthermore, it is also possible to introduce the concept of a master-servant relationship between general users who share a piece of land. In other words, this allows one general user to sublease that land to another general user. Of course, this only applies if the managing user who owns and manages the land has given permission for the sublease of that land.

To explain one example of a configuration for this, the above-mentioned use application information also includes information on whether the general user making the application intends to sublease. In response to this, the provided information, desired use information, and usage status and information content are also changed as appropriate. Then, for the land for which a general user intending to sublease has applied, another general user applies for use, understanding that it will be sublease.

As shown by the phantom lines in Figure 10, the control unit 11 of the information management server 10 may also be provided with a management information acquisition means 11o that acquires management information such as usage frequency and revenue information for land owned or managed by a management user individually for each management user and stores it in the storage device 12, etc., and a management information provision means 11p that provides the management information of the management user, who has requested the management information, to the management user terminal 30 in the form of a display or voice. The management user can check various numerical indicators necessary for management decisions and use this management information in marketing, aiming to achieve targets related to revenue and usage frequency.

The control unit 11 of the information management server 10 may also be provided with a guide screen display means 11q that displays, on the information terminal 40 of a general user, a guide screen that shows information such as the location of available parking spaces based on the general user's current location. This guide screen may simply include information such as the hourly usage fee.

Furthermore, in addition to the aforementioned "occupied" and "shared," the concept of "non-exclusive use" may also be introduced as a land use type included in the usage type information. General users can freely use the land for purposes such as parking as long as it is vacant for a certain period (free use period) without specifying a time period for use (occupancy) of the land. In this case, usage fees can be set low, making it possible to simultaneously apply for free use of multiple pieces of land.

However, with this type of land use, there is a problem that the land, such as a parking lot, may not be available at a crucial time. To address this issue, as shown by the phantom lines in Figure 10, a reservation processing means 11r is provided in the control unit 11 of the information processing server 10, and a reservation request means 41i is provided in the control unit 41 of the general user terminal 40.

When a predetermined condition (trigger) is met, the reservation request means 41i requests the information management server 10 to reserve the land for which an application for use has been made for non-exclusive use. The trigger may be, for example, conditions suitable for temporary use, such as coming within a predetermined distance of the land, having a car engine or power source turned on, or the garage of a general user living close to the land being open.

When the reservation processing means 41r receives a reservation request from a general user who has applied to use land for non-exclusive use, if the land can be reserved with that content, it notifies the general user terminal 40 of that fact and stores the reservation in the storage device 12, but if the land cannot be reserved with that content, it notifies the general user terminal 40 of that fact.

In addition, with this automatic reservation process, if it is determined from the GPS or other information installed in the general user terminal 40 that the general user of the general user terminal 40 will not be using the land that has been automatically reserved in advance for that general user, the reservation will be canceled.

To ensure that such automatic reservations are as tailored to the wishes of individual general users as possible, the learning means 11l learns appropriate reservation processing methods based on each general user's behavioral patterns, whether a reservation is required at the time, the location of the land used at the time, etc., and reflects this in the reservation processing means 41r and reservation request means 41i.

With this configuration, even though the use is non-exclusive, the land can be used with the same convenience as exclusive or shared use, making it highly convenient. Furthermore, by using the AI analysis of usage status described above, it is possible to reduce the likelihood of encountering situations where it is difficult to make a reservation in cases where there is a high need for use or where the parking lot is frequently used.

In addition, the general user terminal 40 may transmit only the general user's behavior to the information management server 10, and the reservation processing means 41r of the information management server 10 may automatically perform the above-mentioned processing if it determines that a reservation is necessary based on the behavior pattern. In this case, there is no need to provide the reservation request means 41i in the control unit 41 of the general user terminal 40.

The beacon 80 described above may also be equipped with trigger detection means such as GPS and reservation request means 41i. This beacon 80 performs the various interactions described above with the information management server 10 via the general user terminal 40 of the general user who possesses it.

Furthermore, with this processing, general users, such as companies or groups, can apply for non-exclusive use of multiple plots of land, multiple areas of a single plot of land, or multiple areas of multiple plots of land, and either issue code information corresponding to that number, or lend beacons 80 and allow the plots to be used non-exclusively. For such use, the usage price may be determined according to the number of beacons lent or the number of code information generated, and the usage price may also be paid in advance. Of course, it is also possible to provide subscription-style use.
