Description

  The present invention relates to information management technology, and more particularly to information management technology for managing information stored in a plurality of databases in association with each other.

  In recent years, the Internet has been used in real estate property transactions in many countries around the world. For example, in Japan, Lanes (registered trademark) is known as a real estate property information distribution system (hereinafter referred to as a property information distribution system) between real estate agents. Rains (registered trademark) has four designated distribution organizations designated by the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (East Japan Real Estate Distribution Organization, Chubu Real Estate Distribution Organization, Kinki Real Estate Distribution Organization, and Public Interest Incorporated Association). This is a property information distribution system operated by West Japan Real Estate Distribution Organization, which manages real estate property information for each area under the jurisdiction of the above four designated distribution organizations.

  In addition, as a property information distribution system for real estate agents, the real estate information network “Furenz (registered trademark)” operated by the Fukuoka Prefectural Housing Lots and Buildings Transactions Association and the real estate business support site operated by Athome Co., Ltd. “ATBB®” is also known.

  The real estate agent can use the system by registering as a member in the property information distribution system operated by the organization having jurisdiction over the region. Specifically, the real estate agent distributes the property information widely by registering information on the property that the customer wants to sell or rent (hereinafter referred to as property information) in the database of the property information distribution system. Can do. Moreover, the real estate agent can provide information to customers who wish to purchase or rent real estate by acquiring various property information from the database of the property information distribution system.

  When registering property information, a real estate agent creates a property guide drawing (called a fact sheet) that summarizes information such as the location of real estate properties, floor plans, rents, and surrounding maps into a single A4 size sheet. The information is transmitted from a terminal device such as a personal computer to the property information distribution system via the communication network. Further, the real estate agent searches the database of the property information distribution system and acquires desired property information via a communication network by a terminal device such as a facsimile or a personal computer.

  As a technology related to information management of real estate properties, Patent Document 1 discloses a property information management method including registration and extraction of property information in Lanes (registered trademark).

  As an example of another country, in the United States, for example, the Internet site “REALTOR.com (registered trademark)” operated by NAR (the National Association of REALTORS (registered trademark)) is known. This Internet site is an information distribution system between real estate brokers (real estate brokers and distributors) who are NAR members, but some information such as sales and rental properties is open to general consumers. The general consumer can also search for a real estate property or a real estate agent by the system. When a real estate agent becomes a member of NAR, he / she can register real estate property information in “REALTOR.com (registered trademark)” and access information for members and transact real estate properties via the site. it can.

  In addition to this, real estate property information is distributed via the Internet in various countries (Reference: Real Estate Distribution Modernization Center, “Survey Report on the Status of Real Estate Transaction Information Provision in Each Country” ”February 2009, Internet <URL: http://www.retpc.jp/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/internet.pdf>). Note that in a system in which property information can be viewed directly on a terminal device such as a personal computer or a tablet terminal, property information is not normally sent and received via a facsimile, but is sent and received exclusively by electronic data. .

  By the way, in recent years, technology for allowing a user to experience virtual reality (also referred to as VR) is used in various fields such as games, entertainment, vocational training, and business. VR is usually experienced by wearing a glasses-type or goggles-type display device called a head-mounted display (hereinafter also referred to as “HMD”) on the user's head. The HMD incorporates a screen on which two images with parallax are displayed and two lenses respectively installed in the line-of-sight direction of the user's eyes, and the user passes through these lenses. A three-dimensional image can be recognized by looking at the screen. The HMD includes a gyro sensor and an acceleration sensor, and an image displayed on the screen changes according to the movement of the user's head detected by these sensors. As a result, the user can experience as if entering a stereoscopic image.

  Recently, a technique of using a portable device having a display function such as a smartphone with a goggle-type or box-type housing as an HMD is also known (see, for example, Patent Document 2). In this case, the user can easily experience VR by downloading image data generated for VR to a smartphone.

  The real estate agent causes the customer to preview the property selected by the customer out of the property information acquired from the property information distribution system or the property information browsed by the customer in the property information distribution system. For example, in the case of brokering housing in Japan, a real estate agent introduces a property to a customer by referring to a fact sheet, and guides the customer to the site for a property desired by the customer to be viewed. However, the impression that the customer has from the fact sheet does not necessarily match the impression that the customer has seen inside. Even if there are many photos of properties on the Internet site, you may still get different impressions locally. For this reason, in many cases, the real estate agent has to guide the customer to several properties until the contract is concluded, and the business efficiency is not so good. It is also troublesome for customers to move to multiple sites. In such a case, it would be very convenient if an experience of previewing real estate properties could be obtained by VR.

  In order to preview a real estate property by VR, the inside of the real estate property is imaged in advance to create and store VR image data (hereinafter simply referred to as VR image data), and a real estate agent or a customer who wants a preview. It is necessary to manage VR image data in association with property information.

  However, building a mechanism for linking property information registered in an existing property information distribution system such as Rains (registered trademark) and VR image data in the property information distribution system is possible only for the operator of the system. Basically not possible. However, in principle, since real estate agents acquire property information from existing property information distribution systems, it is convenient for many real estate agents even if VR image data is managed completely separate from this property information distribution system. Does not improve. In other words, there is a need for a mechanism that allows easy access to VR image data corresponding to property information without major changes to the daily business flow of real estate agents, such as acquiring property information from an existing property information distribution system. It becomes.

  In addition, many real estate agents in Japan still perform registration, acquisition, and provision of property information mainly to paper media using facsimile. Therefore, if the real estate agent cannot easily access the VR image data in such a manner that is in line with such daily work, it is difficult to spread the preview of the real estate property by VR. In addition, VR image data can be accessed without major changes in the conventional business flow even when the property information is transmitted / received or browsed exclusively by electronic data without using a facsimile. A system is desired.

As shown in FIG. 6, the fact sheet C1 includes various information such as the location, the nearest station, the property of the property, the exterior photograph of the building, the interior photograph, and the rental conditions in addition to the floor plan c10.

  When the information management server 30 receives the fact sheet C1 (step S111), the identification information issuing unit 331 issues a property ID for identifying the received fact sheet C1 (step S112). This property ID is registered in the property related information database 324.

  Subsequently, the floor plan information acquisition unit 333 trims the portion of the floor plan c10 from the fact sheet C1 (step S113), and creates coordinates floor plan image data by setting coordinates for the trimmed region. (Step S114). Furthermore, the floor plan information acquisition unit 333 stores the image data of the floor plan for mapping in the image data storage unit 322 in association with the property ID issued in step S112 (step S115).

  Further, the identification code adding unit 332 creates an identification code representing information such as the property ID and URL for accessing the information management server 30, and creates a fact sheet with an identification code to which the identification code is added ( Step S116). Then, the fact sheet with the identification code is transmitted to the member terminal 20a (step S117).

  FIG. 7 is a schematic view illustrating a fact sheet with an identification code. As shown in FIG. 7, the identification code-added fact sheet C2 is obtained by slightly reducing the original fact sheet C1 (see FIG. 6) and adding the identification code c22 to the margin c21 generated thereby. That is, the overall size of the identification code-added fact sheet C2 is the same A4 size as the fact sheet C1. In the margin c21, in addition to the identification code c22, a mark c23, a message c24, and the like indicating that the real estate property can be previewed by VR are also displayed. Moreover, you may appeal that it is a real estate property which can be previewed by VR by displaying the margin c21 in a specific color.

  Here, the design of the identification code-added fact sheet is not limited to that shown in FIG. 7, and various designs can be adopted. However, since the fact sheet with the identification code is used by being posted or filed in the store by the real estate agent as in the case of the original fact sheet C1 that has been conventionally used, the fact sheet with the original fact sheet C1 is used as much as possible. It is preferable to make it the same size (A4).

  If the original fact sheet C1 is reduced while maintaining the aspect ratio in order to provide an area to which the identification code c22 is added, as shown in FIG. 7, “L-shaped” blanks c21 are generated on two orthogonal sides. However, “I-shaped” margins may be provided by reducing only one vertical or horizontal direction, or the vertical and horizontal reduction ratios may be slightly changed. Even when “L-shaped” margins are provided, the upper and right sides are not limited to those shown in FIG. 7, and margins may be provided on the upper and left sides, the lower and right sides, or the lower and left sides. . Alternatively, margins may be provided on all four sides. Further, the information displayed in the margin c21 is not limited to the mark c23 and the message c24 as shown in FIG. 7 other than the identification code c22. For example, the margin c21 may be made more prominent, or conversely, it may be simplified to make the fact sheet main body stand out. In any case, the real estate agent or the customer can recognize the position of the identification code c22 at a glance, and the real estate property may be a design that shows that the property can be previewed by VR.

When the member terminal 20a receives the fact sheet C2 with the identification code (step S212), the member terminal 20a transmits the received fact sheet C2 with the identification code to the property information distribution system 10 for registration (step S213). Thereby, the fact sheet C2 with an identification code is in a state that can be viewed from another member terminal (for example, the member terminal 20b) that has accessed the property information distribution system 10. When the member terminal 20a accesses the property information distribution system 10, authentication is performed using a member ID and a pass code set in advance for logging in to the property information distribution system 10.
When the property information (fact sheet) is registered in this way, the process returns to the main routine.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the operation of the information management server 30 in step S12 for registering VR image data. FIG. 8 also shows the operation of the member portable terminal 40 (or member terminal 20a) that communicates with the information management server 30 in response to an operation of a real estate agent or a person who has received a request from the real estate agent. .

  Here, for example, when a real estate property is newly rented, a real estate management company or a cleaning company that has received the request enters the property and performs various checks and cleaning. Therefore, the image serving as the base of the VR image data may be acquired by imaging the site at this timing, that is, following cleaning or the like. Hereinafter, a person who goes to the real estate property site and operates the member portable terminal 40 to perform imaging is referred to as an imaging person in charge.

  Prior to step S12, the person in charge of imaging brings together the member portable terminal 40 and the imaging device 50 with the printed fact sheet C2 with an identification code, and visits the real estate property. Then, the VR imaging application is activated on the member portable terminal 40.

  FIG. 9 is a schematic view illustrating an identification code reading screen displayed on the member portable terminal 40 after activation of the VR imaging application. The person in charge of imaging first holds the imaging unit 44 (camera) over the identification code c22 displayed on the fact sheet C2 with identification code in accordance with the message d11 displayed on the identification code reading screen D1. In response to this, the member portable terminal 40 reads the identification code c22 (step S220), accesses the information management server 30 by the URL included in the read information, and is set in advance for logging in to the information management server 30. In addition to transmitting the member ID and pass code, the property ID included in the read information is transmitted (step S221), and the image data of the floor plan of the property information corresponding to the property ID is requested.

  The information management server 30 performs authentication using the received member ID and passcode (step S120), and if the authentication is successful, receives the property ID (step S121).

  Subsequently, the property related information extraction unit 334 searches the property related information database 324, and extracts property related information corresponding to the property ID received in step S121 (step S122).

  Subsequently, the floor plan information extraction unit 335 obtains the address of the storage area where the image data of the floor plan is stored from the property related information extracted in step S122, and the floor plan from the image data storage unit 322 according to this address. Are transmitted to the member portable terminal 40 (step S123).

  When the member portable terminal 40 receives the image data of the floor plan (step S222), the member portable terminal 40 displays the floor plan on the display unit 43 (step S223). 10 and 11 are schematic views illustrating floor plan display screens displayed on the member portable terminal 40. FIG.

  In accordance with the message d13 displayed on the floor plan display screen D2 shown in FIG. 10, the person in charge of imaging taps a position (for example, LD) on the floor plan d14 indicating the place to be imaged. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 11, the pin d15 is displayed at the tapped position.

  In this state, imaging is performed by the imaging device 50 (step S224). That is, when the person in charge of imaging presses the shutter button of the imaging device 50, the imaging device 50 starts imaging, and image data of an image in which a 360 ° view around the imaging device 50 is captured is generated.

  FIG. 12 is a schematic view illustrating an imaging confirmation screen displayed on the member portable terminal 40. The imaging confirmation screen D3 illustrated in FIG. 12 includes a message d17 that asks whether imaging is successful, a success button d18, and a redo button d19. When the member portable terminal 40 detects a tap operation on the redo button d19, the member portable terminal 40 causes the imaging device 50 to delete the image data generated immediately before. In this case, the person in charge of imaging can redo the imaging at the position where the pin d15 is displayed on the floor plan d14.

  On the other hand, when the member portable terminal 40 detects a tap operation on the success button d18, the member portable terminal 40 instructs the imaging device 50 to transfer the image data generated immediately before to the member portable terminal 40. In response to this, the imaging device 50 transmits image data to the member portable terminal 40 via a communication network such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) or a communication cable. In the member portable terminal 40, the image data acquisition unit 463 stores the received image data in the image data storage unit 452.

  Subsequently, the mapping processing unit 464 maps the image data transferred from the imaging device 50 to the image data of the floor plan (step S225). Thereby, the transferred image data is associated with the position specified by the pin d15 on the floor plan d14.

  FIG. 13 is a schematic view illustrating an imaging completion confirmation screen displayed on the member portable terminal 40 after the success button d18 is tapped on the imaging confirmation screen D3. The imaging completion confirmation screen D4 shown in FIG. 13 includes a message d20 asking whether or not imaging of all rooms has been completed, a YES button d21, and a NO button d22. When the member portable terminal 40 detects a tap operation on the NO button d22, the member portable terminal 40 displays the floor plan display screen D2 shown in FIG. 10 again. Thereby, the person in charge of imaging can repeat the designation of the place for imaging and the imaging.

  On the other hand, when the member portable terminal 40 detects a tap operation on the YES button d21, the member portable terminal 40 subsequently displays the image data transmission confirmation screen shown in FIG. The transmission confirmation screen D5 shown in FIG. 14 includes a message d23 asking whether or not to transmit image data, a button d24 for inputting an instruction to transmit immediately, and a button d25 for inputting an instruction to transmit later. Including. When the member portable terminal 40 detects a tap operation on the button d24, the information management server 30 transmits the image data of the property transferred from the imaging device 50 and the image data of the floor plan after the mapping process via the communication network N. Send to. On the other hand, when the member portable terminal 40 detects a tap operation on the button d25, the member portable terminal 40 does not transmit the image data on the spot, and stores the image data of the property and the floor plan in the image data storage unit 452.

  Here, the image data of the property and the floor plan may be transmitted at the site of the real estate property, or may be transmitted via the member terminal 20a after returning to the store of the real estate agent. However, when there are many imaging locations in a real estate property, it is expected that it takes a long time to transmit image data directly from the member portable terminal 40. Therefore, in such a case, the image data of the property and the floor plan can be temporarily transferred from the member portable terminal 40 to the member terminal 20a, and the image data can be transmitted from the member terminal 20a to the information management server 30. preferable.

  When the image data of the property and the floor plan is transmitted (step S226), the information management server 30 receives these data (step S124).

  In response to this, the floor plan information acquisition unit 333 updates the image data of the floor plan read out in step S123 to the image data of the floor plan after mapping received in step S124 and stores it in the image data storage unit 322. (Step S125).

Further, the VR image data generation unit 336 generates VR image data using the mapping information in the image data of the floor plan based on the image data of the property received in step S124 (step S126), and generates the generated VR. The image data is associated with the property ID and stored in the image data storage unit 322 (step S127).
When the VR image data is registered in the information management server 30 in this way, the process returns to the main routine.

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing the operation of the information management server 30 in step S13 for displaying a VR image. FIG. 15 also shows the operation of the display terminal 60 that communicates with the information management server 30 in response to an operation by a real estate agent or customer.

  Prior to step S13, the real estate agent or customer views the fact sheet C2 with an identification code (see FIG. 7) and selects a real estate property to be previewed by VR.

  The display terminal 60 reads the identification code c22 displayed on the fact sheet C2 with the identification code (step S230), accesses the information management server 30 by the URL included in the read information, and transmits the property ID (step S231). The VR image data of the property information corresponding to the property ID is requested.

  When the information management server 30 receives the property ID (step S131), the property related information extraction unit 334 searches the property related information database 324 and extracts property related information corresponding to the property ID (step S132).

  Subsequently, the VR image data extraction unit 337 acquires the address of the storage area where the VR image data is stored from the property related information extracted in step S132, and the VR image data from the image data storage unit 322 according to this address. Is transmitted to the display terminal 60 (step S133).

  When receiving the VR image data (step S232), the display terminal 60 starts displaying the VR image (step S233). FIG. 16 is a schematic view illustrating a screen displayed on the display terminal 60 at the start of display of a VR image. For example, when a smartphone is used as the display terminal 60, the display terminal 60 is attached to a dedicated holder according to the message d30 displayed in FIG. By looking at the screen of the display terminal 60 through the lens provided in the holder, the customer can virtually preview the desired real estate property by the VR in which the image is displayed three-dimensionally.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the property information stored in the existing property information distribution system 10 is stored in the information management server 30 without any change to the property information distribution system 10. It is possible to manage VR image data in association with each other.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the real estate agent simply transmits the fact sheet created in the same procedure as the conventional one to the information management server 30 and associates the property information with the VR image data (the fact with the identification code). Sheet). In addition, when the person in charge of the image captures the image after reading the identification code at the site of the real estate property, the image data of the site is linked to the property information, and the information management server 30 uses the VR in the information management server 30. Image data is generated and stored. Therefore, the real estate agent can provide the customer with a preview service using VR without changing the conventional business flow.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, the floor plan is displayed on the member portable terminal 40 based on the floor plan image data obtained by trimming the fact sheet, and the person in charge of the imaging is instructed while viewing the floor plan. Therefore, the person in charge of imaging can proceed with imaging with an intuitive operation. By this imaging operation, on-site image data is automatically mapped to the floor plan image data, so that VR image data of real estate can be easily generated without imposing an excessive burden on the person in charge of imaging. Can do.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, since the identification code is displayed on the fact sheet, the real estate property that the customer has shown interest in can be previewed on the spot by VR. In addition, the same real estate property can be previewed simultaneously for a plurality of customers. Accordingly, it is possible to save time for travel to the site and adjustment time required for actual preview, improve work efficiency, and improve service to customers. In addition, since the customer can operate the smartphone or the like and perform a preview by VR, it is convenient for customers who want to see many properties.

  In the above embodiment, by transmitting the fact sheet of the property from the member terminal 20 to the information management server 30, the information management server 30 issues the property ID, registers the image data of the floor plan, etc. The property information is registered in the property information system 10 by transmitting the fact sheet with the identification code transmitted from the management server 30 from the member terminal 20 to the property information system 10. However, it is not always necessary to use a fact sheet when sending and receiving property information. For example, when the information management server 30 is accessed from the member terminal 20, a dedicated registration screen is displayed on the member terminal 20, and the property name (building name, room number, etc.), the property location, etc. are entered in this registration screen as text. When the image data of the floor plan is transmitted, the information management server 30 may register the information. In this case, a property name, a property location, or a unique nickname given to the property can be used as property identification information (property ID). That is, by accessing the information management server 30 from the member portable terminal 40 and inputting the property name and the property location (see step S221 in FIG. 8), the floor plan of the property can be displayed on the member portable terminal 40. 8 (see steps S120 to S123, S222, S223 in FIG. 8), and the image data of the property transmitted from the member portable terminal 40 (or via the member terminal 20) is stored in the information management server 40 with the property information of the property. It is managed by linking. In addition, by registering property information including the same property name and property location in the property information system 10, the property information registered in the property information system 10, the floor plan image data stored in the information management server 30, and The VR image data is associated with the property name, the property location, and the like.

  Alternatively, the floor plan image itself may be used as the property identification information. In this case, when the member terminal 20 or the member portable terminal 40 succeeds in the authentication, the information management server 30 uses the registered floor plan image as a property selection icon as the member terminal 20 or the member portable terminal 40. May be displayed. In short, if the information is unique for each property, it can be used as property identification information.

  In the above embodiment, the VR image data of the property is generated, but instead of or in addition, panoramic image data may be generated. In this case, it is not always necessary to use a display device capable of viewing VR images as the display terminal 60. For example, it is possible to perform a preview of a property using a general display provided on a desktop or notebook personal computer or a television having a communication function. Further, even when a smartphone is used as the display terminal 60, it is not necessary to use a VR image viewing holder.

  In the above, although the real estate article was demonstrated to the example as an object which manages information in the information management system concerning the present invention, the object which manages information is not limited to this. The information management system according to the present invention can be applied to management of information related to various transactions such as hotel reservations, travel tour sales, and used car sales. As an example, when the information management system according to the present invention is applied to a hotel reservation system, information such as a hotel name, a hotel location, a room type, and a room number is registered in the information management server from a member terminal. After that, by accessing the information management server from the member portable terminal, reading out information on the room of the hotel, and imaging the room, the image data of the room is associated with the registered information on the room at the time of imaging. be able to. On the other hand, by registering information such as the hotel name and room number in a general hotel reservation site, users accessing the reservation site can obtain unique information (identification information) such as the hotel name and room number. Based on the above, it is possible to access the image data of the room stored in the information management server and browse the image of the room.

  In addition, when the information management system according to the present invention is applied to management of information related to various transactions such as hotel reservations, travel tour sales, and used car sales, instead of image data of floor plans in real estate property information In addition, image data such as a guide map of the entire hotel, image data of a map of a travel destination, a top view and a side view of a used car, and an image showing the whole may be registered. In short, it may be image data of a drawing or an image that can specify a place where an image of a transaction object is taken.
