Description

Information processing device, information processing method and computer program

The present invention relates to an information processing device, an information processing method and a computer program.

Pawn shops are sometimes used by users who collect items and want to raise funds to purchase new items. Users can raise funds by depositing items to a pawn shop, and then use the raised funds to purchase new items.

Patent document 1 discloses a system for operating a pawn business on the Internet to shorten the time required to provide loans to pawners.

[Prior Art Literature] [Patent Literature]

[Patent document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2010-108342.

However, although it is possible to raise funds by depositing items in a pawn shop, there are also some problems: the pawner must go to the pawn shop in person to pawn the items, and the pawned items must be deposited in the pawn shop and cannot be displayed to others as one of the collections. In other words, there is currently no cost-reducing technology that allows users to obtain funds to purchase items without giving up the items, and at the same time, they can display the items to other users.

According to one aspect of the present invention, an information processing device is provided. The aforementioned information processing device has a control unit. When a display request for a list of items is received from a user's device, the control unit performs control so that a first screen including a list of items registered by the user is displayed on the user's device based on the attribute information of the items included in the display request for the list of items and the attribute information of the registered items. The first screen is displayed in a manner capable of identifying items that are leased back and items that are not leased back. The attribute information of the items includes leaseback information indicating whether the items are leased back. When an item is selected from the list of items and a leaseback request is received from the user's device, processing associated with the leaseback is performed on the item identified by the identification information of the item included in the leaseback request. The process associated with the leaseback includes obtaining an assessment of the item selected as the item for leaseback and sending information associated with the assessment to the user.

<Implementation Example 1>

1. System structure

FIG1 is a diagram showing an example of a system structure of an information processing system 1000. As shown in FIG1, as a system structure, the information processing system 1000 includes a server device 100, a client device 110, and a client device 120. The server device 100, the client device 110, and the client device 120 are communicatively connected via a network 150. The client device 110 is a device used by a user, and it displays, appreciates, or executes an offer (Offer) as a request to sell items of a user who collects (Collect; collects, stores, or holds) items (hereinafter also referred to as a collector). The client device 120 is a device used by the collector. The collector uses the client device 120 to register the item to the server device 100, or accepts the offer from the client device 110 and sells the item or rejects the offer. Here, the so-called item refers to an asset whose value can be maintained or increased, such as artwork, watches, whiskey, wine, antiques, stamps, coins, figures, sneakers, collectible cards, second-hand clothing, clothing items (jeans or clothes, etc.), luxury goods, books, cars, land or buildings in real space, land or buildings in virtual space, etc. In addition, the artwork can be an oil painting or Japanese painting, etc., or it can be a digital artwork.

For the sake of simplicity, the following description uses artwork as an example of an item. However, this is not intended to limit this implementation. For example, physical oil paintings or Japanese paintings are examples of physical assets. On the other hand, digital artworks are examples of digital assets.

The server device 100 is a device that executes the processing of this embodiment. For example, in response to a request from the client device 110, the server device 100 executes control to display a list of the collector's own items registered in the information processing system 1000 on the client device 110. The server device 100 executes processing related to leaseback for the items selected from the list of items displayed on the client device 110. The details of the processing will be explained using the sequence diagram in Figure 4 described later.

In FIG. 1 , for simplicity of description, only one client device 110 and one client device 120 are shown in the information processing system 1000. However, a corresponding number of client devices 110 may be included in the information processing system 1000 according to the number of users.

In addition, in FIG. 1 , although a smartphone is shown as an example of the client device 110 and the client device 120, it is not limited to a smartphone and may also be a personal computer (PC) or a tablet computer. The server device 100 is an example of an information processing device.

2. Hardware structure

(1) Hardware structure of server device 100

FIG2 is a diagram showing an example of the hardware structure of the server device 100. As a hardware structure, the server device 100 includes a control unit 201, a memory unit 202, and a communication unit 203. The control unit 201 is, for example, a central processing unit (CPU), and controls the entire server device 100. The memory unit 202 is, for example, any one of a hard disk drive (HDD), a read-only memory (ROM), a random access memory (RAM), a solid state drive (SSD), or any combination thereof, and stores computer programs and data used when the control unit 201 executes processing based on the computer programs. The memory unit 202 is an example of a storage medium. The control unit 201 performs processing based on the computer program stored in the memory unit 202, thereby realizing the functions of the server device 100. The communication unit 203 is, for example, a network interface card (NIC), which connects the server device 100 to the network 150 and performs communication with other devices (such as the client device 110, etc.).

In this embodiment, although the data used by the control unit 201 when executing the processing based on the computer program is stored in the memory unit 202 as an example for explanation, it can also be stored in the memory unit of other devices that the server device 100 can communicate with.

In addition, for easier understanding, the following description will take the processing performed by the control unit 201 as the processing performed by the server device 100.

(2) Hardware structure of client device 110

FIG3 is a diagram showing an example of the hardware structure of the client device 110. As a hardware structure, the client device 110 includes a control unit 301, a memory unit 302, an input/output unit 304, and a communication unit 305. The control unit 301 is a CPU or the like, and controls the entire client device 110. The memory unit 302 is any one of HDD, ROM, RAM, SSD, or any combination thereof, and stores computer programs and data used when the control unit 301 executes processing based on the computer programs. The control unit 301 executes processing based on the computer programs stored in the memory unit 302, thereby realizing the functions of the client device 110. The input/output unit 304 is a touch panel display, etc., which inputs the user's operation to the control unit 301, or displays the processing results of the control unit 201, etc. The input/output unit 304 can also be a microphone and a speaker, etc., which inputs the user's voice to the control unit 301, or outputs the processing results of the control unit 201 in the form of sound, etc. The communication unit 305 connects the client device 110 to the network 150 and performs communication with other devices (for example, the server device 100, etc.).

In addition, the hardware structure of the client device 120 is also the same as the hardware structure of the client device 110. The control unit of the client device 120 performs processing based on the computer program stored in the memory unit of the client device 120, thereby realizing the functions of the client device 120. This also applies to the client device of the administrator of the information processing system 1000 described below.

3. Information processing

The following will explain the information processing of this implementation.

FIG4 is a sequence diagram showing an example of information processing by the information processing system 1000.

In the information processing system 1000, items are registered in the server device 100 by the client device 120. The registered items are sent to a warehouse or the like managed by the information processing system 1000, and are stored and managed in the warehouse or the like. The server device 100 stores and manages the attribute information of the items. FIG5 is a diagram showing an example of the attribute information of the items, etc. As shown in FIG5, the attribute information of the items includes, as items, an item ID 501, an item type 502, owner information 503, offer setting information 504, history information 505, certificate information 506, price information 507, and leaseback information 508. The item ID 501 stores the item ID. The item ID is identification information for identifying the item. The item type 502 stores the item type. The item type is information indicating the type of the item. Examples of the item type include artwork, watches, wine, antiques, stamps, coins, portraits, sneakers, collectible cards, second-hand clothing, clothing items (jeans or clothes, etc.), luxury goods, books, cars, land or buildings in real space, and land or buildings in virtual space. Owner information 503 stores owner information. Owner information is information about the owner of the item (owner's name, owner's user ID, address, e-mail address, etc.). Offer setting information 504 stores offer setting information. Information on whether to set the item to accept the offer is stored in the offer setting information. Information on whether to set the item to accept the offer is set based on the user operation of the client device 120. History information 505 stores history information. The historical information stores information about the transaction history of the item so far. The certificate information 506 stores certificate information. The certificate information is information about the certificate used to prove the authenticity of the item. The price information 507 stores price information. The price information is the transaction price information of the item so far and the current estimated price information. The current estimated price information is determined by the server device 100 based on the price information of the items of the same author in other auction systems, etc. The leaseback information 508 stores leaseback information. The leaseback information is information on whether the leaseback is set. If it is set to leaseback, it includes the information of the user of the lease target (name of the user of the lease target, user ID of the user of the lease target, address of the user of the lease target, email address of the user of the lease target, etc.).

In sequence SQ401, the server device 100 receives a request to display an item list from the client device 120. The display request includes the user ID of the user of the client device 120 requesting display, the item type, etc.

In sequence SQ402, the server device 100 specifies the user ID included in the display request and the item ID of the item type that is the same as the item type included in the display request in the owner information or the leaseback information including the attribute information, and generates an item list screen 600 including the items identified by the specified item ID.

In sequence SQ403, the server device 100 sends the generated item list screen 600 to the requesting client device 120, and performs control to display it on the input/output unit 304 of the client device 120. That is, the server device 100 performs control to display a screen including a list of items registered by the user to the user.

FIG. 6 is a diagram (part 1) showing an example of an item list screen 600 displayed on the client device 120. The item list screen 600 is an example of the first screen.

As shown in FIG6 , selection area 601 is an area for selecting a type of item to be displayed in the list from among a plurality of types of items. In the example of FIG6 , the selected artwork is shown. Items 602 to 605 are images representing the items included in the list of items, respectively. Leaseback button 612 and leaseback button 615 are buttons for requesting leaseback of the corresponding items, respectively. The item corresponding to leaseback button 612 is item 602. The item corresponding to leaseback button 615 is item 605.

As shown in FIG6 , the leaseback button is displayed in item 602 and item 605 respectively included in the item list, but the leaseback button is not displayed in item 603 and item 604. This indicates that item 603 and item 604 have been leased back. In other words, among the items included in the item list, the server device 100 displays the leased items and the unleased items in a manner that can identify them.

Here, FIG. 6 shows an example in which items that are leased back and items that are not leased back can be identified by whether the leaseback button is displayed corresponding to the item. However, the server device 100 can also generate a screen as shown in FIG. 7 as an item overview screen. FIG. 7 is a diagram (part 2) of an example of an item overview screen 600 displayed on the client device 120. The item overview screen 600 is an example of the first screen.

In FIG. 7 , as shown in items 603 and 604 , the frames of the leased items are displayed in bold. In addition, these are only examples, and the server device 100 can also change the frame color of the items, or add gradient colors to the items themselves, so as to display them in a manner that can identify leased items and non-leased items. That is, as long as it can identify leased items and non-leased items, the server device 100 can display the items included in the item list in any manner.

When an item is selected (the rent-back button in FIG. 6 is selected, etc.) and a rent-back is requested, in sequence SQ404, the server device 100 receives a rent-back request from the client device 120. The rent-back request includes an item ID that identifies the selected item in the item list, etc.

In sequence SQ405, the server device 100 performs a process associated with a leaseback, which is to purchase an item selected from the items included in the item list (the item identified by the item ID included in the leaseback request) and lease the purchased item to the user. The leaseback of an item is a form in which a collector (user) sells an item as his/her own asset and accepts the lease (rental) of the item by paying a monthly fee, and can still use the item after the item is sold. The collector can obtain funds for purchasing new items by leasing the item without having to abandon the item.

More specifically, the server device 100 obtains the valuation of the item selected as the leaseback item. For example, the server device 100 receives the valuation of the relevant item from a terminal device held by an appraiser who evaluates the item in a warehouse, etc. As another example, the server device 100 inputs an image of the relevant item and the attribute information of the item into a learned model, and the learned model uses the image of the item and the attribute information of the item as input data and the valuation of the item as output data for learning. Then, the server device 100 can obtain the valuation of the output item from the learned model. The server device 100 displays a screen containing information related to the valuation of the obtained item on the client device 120 of the requester. This process is an example of a process that sends information associated with an estimate to a user.

That is, the process associated with the leaseback of the item includes the process of obtaining the valuation of the selected item and sending information associated with the valuation to the user.

After receiving information indicating approval of the valuation through a screen including information related to the valuation of the item, the server device 100 performs processing such as transferring the amount based on the valuation to the account of the pre-registered user. For example, when an OK button corresponding to the valuation is selected on a screen including information about the valuation of the item, the server device determines that the user agrees to the valuation. The processing such as transferring the amount based on the valuation to the account of the user is an example of processing for paying the amount based on the valuation to the user.

That is, the process associated with the leaseback of the item includes the process of paying the user an amount based on the valuation when the user agrees to the valuation.

Leaseback requests are not limited to selecting the leaseback button shown in Figure 6.

Figure 8 shows another example of requesting a leaseback.

For example, in the screen shown in FIG. 7 , when it is detected that a predetermined operation (such as selecting an item, long pressing, etc.) has been performed, the server device 100 causes a display area 810 associated with the item to be displayed on the screen. The display area 810 includes a rent-back button 820 for requesting rent-back. When it is detected that the rent-back button 820 has been selected, the server device 100 can execute the above-mentioned processing associated with rent-back.

When the collector of the leased items completes the payment according to the price prompted when the items were leased back, the server device 100 executes the process of returning the ownership of the items to the collector. When the server device 100 receives a request from the collector of the leased items to extend the lease period, it re-signs the lease to extend the lease period. In addition, when the server device 100 receives a request to sell the items from the collector of the leased items, it ends the process of requesting the collector for rental fees.

When the processing associated with the leaseback is completed and the ownership of the relevant items is transferred from the collector to the company of the server device 100, in sequence SQ406, the server device 100 generates a non-fungible token (NFT) of the certificate of the leased item. The certificate of the item is an example of information about the content or quality of the item. Other examples of information about the content or quality of the item are item appraisal books or item condition reports. Here, the item condition report is, for example, information indicating the state of damage or dirt of the item, and/or information indicating the repair history of damage or dirt of the item.

The server device 100 stores the generated NFT in a blockchain that can communicate via the network 150. In this case, the server device 100 can associate information of a specific item with the NFT and store it in the blockchain.

In sequence SQ407, the server device 100 receives a summary display request from the client device 110. The summary display request is a request for a summary display of the item information registered in the server device 100. The summary display request includes the item type requested to be displayed, etc.

When receiving a list display request, in sequence SQ408, the server device 100 specifies an item ID of the same item type as the item type included in the display request, and generates an item list screen including the items identified by the specified item ID.

In sequence SQ409, the server device 100 sends the generated item list screen 900 to the requesting client device 110, and performs control so that it is displayed on the input and output unit of the client device 110. In other words, the server device 100 performs control so that the item list screen 900 of the user of the client device 120 including the items registered in the information processing system 1000 is displayed to the user of the client device 110. FIG. 9 is a diagram of an example of the item list screen 900 displayed on the client device 110. The item list screen 900 is an example of the second screen. The user of the client device 110 is an example of a user other than the user of the client device 120.

As shown in FIG9 , a selection area 901 is an area for selecting the type of items to be displayed in the list from a plurality of types. In the example of FIG9 , the item selection is shown. In the item list shown in FIG9 , items 603 and 604 are examples of leased items. As shown in FIG9 , in the item list screen 900 , the items are displayed in a manner that does not identify whether they are leased items or not leased items. In addition, in the item list screen of FIG9 , for each item included in the list, a like button 902 and an offer button 903 are included. The like button 902 is a button to be selected when liking an item. The offer button 903 is a button to be selected when sending a purchase request for an item. In the example of FIG. 9 , offer button 903 is an example of an object associated with the purchase of an item.

When the offer button 903 is selected, in sequence SQ410, the server device 100 receives an offer screen display request from the client device 110.

After receiving the offer screen display request, in sequence SQ411, the server device 100 generates the offer screen.

In sequence SQ412, the server device 100 sends the generated offer screen 1010 to the requesting client device 110 and controls it to be displayed on the input and output unit of the client device 110.

FIG. 10 is a diagram (part 1) showing an example of an offer screen 1010. As shown in FIG. 10, the offer screen 1010 includes an area 1011 for the user to input the desired purchase price, a thumbnail image 1012 of the item the user wishes to purchase, and a button 1013 to be selected when confirming the offer. The thumbnail image is a reduced image of the item representing the item.

When the user enters the desired purchase price in area 1011 through client device 110 and selects button 1013, server device 100 sends the offer information to the client device of the owner of the item. More specifically, if the item is a collector's item, server device 100 sends the offer information to the collector's client device (e.g., client device 120). When the item is a leaseback item and the owner is the company of server device 100, etc., server device 100 sends the offer information to the client device of the predetermined manager of the company of server device 100. That is, server device 100 performs control to switch the object of the offer information transmission based on whether the item for which the offer is accepted is a leaseback item.

Here, the offer information includes information such as the item ID and the desired purchase price. The offer information is information indicating that a purchase offer related to the relevant item has been received. When the client device of the predetermined manager of the company of the server device 100 receives the offer information, a mark indicating that the offer information has been received is displayed on the web page of the manager's account. In addition, if the offer information is sent by e-mail, the manager's client device can also display the receipt of the offer information in the e-mail at the input/output unit.

For example, when a mark indicating that the offer information has been received is displayed, the manager performs a predetermined operation on the web page of the manager's account to confirm the content of the offer information. Then, the manager's client device sends a request to display the offer details screen to the server device 100.

After receiving the request to display the offer details screen, the server device 100 executes control to display the offer details screen, which includes the desired purchase price entered in the screen shown in FIG. 10, the user name of the user who executes the offer, the attribute information of the offered item, etc.

Here, the server device 100 performs control so that the desired purchase price of the item can be viewed only from the client device 110 of the user who inputs the desired purchase price and the client device that receives the offer information. That is, in the screen shown in FIG. 10, the person who inputs the desired purchase price and the collector who receives the offer information and holds the relevant item (or the manager of the company that holds the item, etc.) can know the desired purchase price of the item. The server device 100 performs control so that no one other than these two people can know that the offer request has been received or the desired purchase price of the item in the offer request. In other words, the server device 100 performs control so that no one other than the user who made the offer and the person who received the offer can see the desired purchase price of the item on the screen.

FIG9 shows an example in which an item list screen includes a like button and an offer button for each item included in the list. However, as shown in FIG11 , the offer button may not be included in the item list screen 900. FIG11 is a diagram showing an example of an item list screen 1100 displayed on the client device 110. When it is detected that the like button corresponding to the item is selected, the server device 100 generates a screen 1200 as shown in FIG12 and displays it on the client device 110. FIG12 is a diagram showing an example of the screen 1200 when the like button is selected. The screen 1200 includes information indicating that the like button has been selected, a thumbnail image of the item corresponding to the like button, link information 1230 when the item is desired to be purchased, and the like. When the link information 1230 is selected, the server device 100 generates an offer screen 1010 as shown in FIG. 10 and displays it on the client device 110. In this case, the like button in the screen shown in FIG. 11 is an example of an object associated with the purchase of an item.

When it is determined that the desired purchase price included in the offer information is appropriate and the ownership of the item is transferred to the user who made the offer through a predetermined operation, the server device 100 performs processing associated with the sale of the item. For example, when the item is sold based on the object being selected and the item is a leased item, the server device 100 performs the following processing: the amount obtained by deducting the fees associated with the leased item from the sale price of the item is remitted to the user who accepts the leased item.

According to implementation example 1, the collector can rent back the items without giving up the items to obtain funds for purchasing new items. In addition, according to implementation example 1, the items held by oneself and the rented back items can also be displayed to other users, just like displaying their own items. In addition, according to implementation example 1, the rented back items can also be sold on the system. In addition, according to implementation example 1, since it is not achieved through complex processing, the overall development cost of the system can be suppressed. In addition, since there is no need to perform complex processing, the waste of the hardware resources of the server device 100 can be avoided, and the hardware resources of the server device 100 can be effectively used. Therefore, for example, when presenting the processing results to the user, fast presentation can be achieved. That is, the response speed can be improved.

(Variant 1)

The following describes a variation of implementation example 1.

FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating leaseback in the information processing system 1000.

The user registers the item in the information processing system 1000 through the client device 120, etc.

The server device 100 performs storage-related processing when registering registered and mailed items to a warehouse, etc.

The server device 100 accepts the item valuation commission by clicking a button on the screen of the client device 120, etc.

The server device 100 receives the valuation result of the requested item. In the example of FIG. 13 , an example of obtaining 5 million as the valuation of the item is shown.

When the user performs an operation of agreeing to the valuation through the screen, the server device 100 performs a process of transferring the amount based on the valuation to the user according to the valuation of the item. In the example of FIG. 13, an example of transferring 5 million is shown. In addition, when the leaseback starts, the server device 100 performs a process of transferring the ownership of the item from the user to the operating company of the server device 100 (or the information processing system 1000). In addition, when the leaseback starts, the server device 100 performs NFTization of the certificate of the item.

The user pays the usage fee of the leased item through the client device 120, etc. Here, the usage fee is a monthly fee determined by the server device 100, etc. based on the valuation of the item and the leased usage period. In the example of FIG13, the monthly usage fee is 450,000. In addition, the server device 100 also sets the leased usage period based on the operation information such as the selection operation from the client device 120, etc. In the example of FIG13, the usage period is 12 months (12 times).

When the server device 100 detects that the user has paid the monthly fee within the set usage period, it executes the process of returning the ownership of the item from the operating company, etc. to the user.

Please note that the amounts and periods shown in Figure 13 are for illustration only and are not intended to be limiting.
