2. Description of the Related Art The selling price of a vehicle differs depending on the vehicle type.
Furthermore, even in the same vehicle type, a price difference occurs due to differences in grades and equipment. Particularly, in a vehicle sales market, a price difference is caused by a manufacturer name, a color, and the like. Therefore, in the process of purchasing and selling vehicles, we examine vehicle information such as catalogs, specifications, etc., or specifications indicating the performance of each vehicle from the current vehicle and optional items, and based on this, from vehicle price standards, etc. The purchase price is determined, and the selling price is determined from the general market price.

[0003]

However, in such a conventional vehicle distribution management, when a vehicle is purchased and a vehicle is sold, respective specifications and equipment and the like are checked, and the purchase price and sales are determined based on the results. Although prices are determined, it is necessary to investigate the specifications and equipment for each vehicle purchased and sold each time. Especially in the used vehicle sales market, not only domestic vehicles but also foreign vehicles Also exist in various types, and a great deal of time and labor is required for information investigation of each vehicle.

[0004] Therefore, the name, type, shape,
By specifying the model designation number, classification number, full model number, chassis number, model number, body number, etc. as identification conditions, by simply inputting these identification conditions, the vehicle specification information is displayed quickly and accurately. The present applicant provides a method capable of significantly simplifying the paperwork for vehicle distribution management, but in this case, the following problems occur. In other words, a vehicle to be manufactured generally has a plurality of grades (grades) for one vehicle type. However, depending on the vehicle manufacturer, a plurality of grades may share the above-described identification conditions and input these identification conditions. There is a case where a plurality of items of information are displayed at the same time, and there is a problem that it becomes impossible to specify the items of the vehicle to be investigated.

The present invention has been made in view of such a conventional problem, and when displaying specification information of a vehicle by inputting an identification condition, various grades of a plurality of grades are included in a single vehicle type only by the identification condition. When the original information is displayed, a vehicle information management method capable of accurately and easily performing business processing in vehicle distribution management by specifying limited information obtained from the current vehicle and specifying the specification information.
