Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION  
         [0001]    (a) Field of the Invention  
           [0002]    The present invention relates to a business method for intermediating temporary exchange or loan of things using the network and computer readable medium having computer executable instruction for performing the method, and more particularly, to a business method for intermediating temporary exchange or loan of things using the network in which, when a user lets a business proprietor know a thing that he/she wants to temporarily exchange or loan, a business proprietor finds a thing corresponding to a condition such as term of exchange or loan, etc the user desires by comparing information about things that users want to exchange or loan and intermediates the exchange or loan of things between users and computer readable medium having computer executable instruction for performing the method.  
           [0003]    (b) Description of the Related Art  
           [0004]    According to the conventional internet service business intermediating the barter, things that service users trade permanently belong to the other person of trade. Accordingly, when a thing to be trade requires processes of the law like automobile, it costs much because of tax such as a registration tax, an acquisition tax, etc and the issuance of various kinds of certificates and the processes are complicate. In addition, when a thing to be trade is a real estate, it may be cumbersome since the registration according to the processes of law should be made, plus, even when a user wants to use a real estate only temporarily, he/she should make the registration according to the processes of law to get the real estate and then should make the registration in response to re-transaction to return the same.  
           [0005]    Further, the existing barter has some defects because users should exchange things in person. People tend to avoid exchanging things in person since exchanging things between people met for the first time could be risky and it is impossible to know in advance the condition of things. In another way, people can exchange things by using an appointed exchange center. However, this method also has some defects that users should appoint the time or a user that visits the center before the other user should visit the center twice as well as monetary matter. According to the existing barter, since the proprietary of things should be transferred, people generally do not want to exchange things that he/she loves even though the things are not presently used.

         [0094]    [0094]FIG. 15 shows a method of exchanging automobiles within the limits of the possibility of compensation by the automobile insurance.  
         [0095]    As a method of exchanging automobiles, a method of exchanging the same according to the mutual agreement between the users  30  and a method of exchanging the same within the limits of the possibility of compensation by the automobile insurance may be mentioned. The former method may be possible for anybody who wants the exchange use when the other party of users accepts the exchange use, but according to the latter method, the exchange use is made within the limits of the possibility of compensation by way of precaution against automobile accident that could be occurred. Accordingly, the latter method is safer than the former.  
         [0096]    In the case of the exchange use of the user a  30   a  and the user b  30   b , according to the insurance contents of the user a  30   a , the extent of driver is ‘anybody’ and the automobile of the user a  30   a  is insured by ‘other automobile coverage endorsement’  800  and according to the insurance contents of the user b  30   b , the extent of driver is ‘anybody’ and the automobile of the user b  30   b  is not insured by ‘other automobile coverage endorsement’  810 . In this case, when the user a  30   a  drives the automobile of the user b  30   b , the user a  30   a  may be compensated by the insurance of the user b  30   b  and the compensation for the voluntary insurance not bought of the user b  30   b  may be made by the ‘other automobile coverage endorsement’ of the user a  30   a . Further, when the user b  30   b  drives the automobile of the user a  30   a , the user b  30   b  may be compensated by the insurance of the user a  30   a.

Further, when the user b  30   b  drives the automobile of the user a  30   a , the user b  30   b  may be compensated on the basis of ‘anybody’ of the insurance of the user a  30   a  and when the compensation amount is over the amount of insurance of the user a  30   a , the user b  30   b  may be compensated for the excess amount by the ‘other automobile coverage endorsement’ of the user b  30   b . In the case mentioned above, when the automobile of the user b  30   b  is not insured by ‘other automobile coverage endorsement’, the compensation is made only by ‘anybody’ of the insurance of the user a  30   a.    
         [0098]    In another case, according to the insurance contents of the user a  30   a , the extent of driver is ‘only family’ and the automobile of the user a  30   a  is insured by ‘other automobile coverage endorsement’  840  and according to the insurance contents of the user b  30   b , the extent of driver is ‘only family’ and the automobile of the user b  30   b  is insured by ‘other automobile coverage endorsement’  850 .

         [0099]    When the compensation for the accident during the exchange use is made by the insurance of the other party, the premiums of the other party may be raised. In this case, it is preferable that the user who causes the accident pays the raised amount of premiums. Further, when the fine due to the violation of traffic regulations is charged the other party, it is preferable that the user who actually drives the automobile pays the fine.  
         [0100]    Consequently, as methods of covering accidents by the insurance, a method of covering by the insurance of oneself, a method of covering by the insurance of the other party, a method of covering by the insurance of the other party and additionally covering by the insurance of oneself when the amount is excess, and a method of covering by the insurance of oneself and additionally covering by the insurance of the other party when the amount is excess may be mentioned.  
         [0101]    Among those, the best method is the one of covering by the insurance of oneself, so, a new insurance corresponding such conditions is required.  
         [0102]    Further, when the exchange use is made between the users who live in areas not far from each other, they may use the nearest things deposit center  80  and when the exchange use is made between the users who live in areas far from each other or different countries, a first user deposits the automobile in the things deposit center  80  of the area where the first user lives then a second user exchanges the automobiles in the things deposit center  80  of the area where the second user lives and returns the used automobile to the same place.  
         [0103]    [0103]FIG. 16 is a structural diagram of service concerned with books according to an embodiment of the present invention.  
         [0104]    Referring to FIG. 16, the users  30   a ,  30   b , and  30   c  donates, entrusts, or sells books to libraries  900 ,  910 , and  920  and the libraries  900 ,  910 , and  920  provide service of the exchange use or the loan use of books to the users  30   a ,  30   b , and  30   c  who deposit books.  
         [0105]    For example of the exchange use of books, the followings may be mentioned: the user a  30   a  deposits books in the public library and the user b  30   b  deposits books in the school library. According to the mutual agreement of the user a and b  30   a  and  30   b , the user a  30   a  may borrow the books of the user b  30   b  from the school library  910  and the user b  30   b  may borrow the books of the user a  30   a  from the public library  900 .  
         [0106]    That is, the libraries  900 ,  910 , and  920  may provide the book exchange service under the acceptance of the users  30   a ,  30   b , and  30   c . In another way, the users  30  may exchange books with each other in person not using the libraries  900 ,  910 , and  920 .  
         [0107]    The books that the users  30   a ,  30   b , and  30   c  deposit may be borrowed by any one of the users  30 , so, it means that the share of use of books is possible.  
         [0108]    The concrete example of the loan use is as follows. The users  30   a ,  30   b , and  30   c  donate, entrust, or sell books to the libraries  900 ,  910 , and  920 . The libraries  900 ,  910 , and  920  who receive the authority of management of books from the users  30  loan books to members or others who are not members. Each of the users  30  may search books that he/she wants and borrow the same from the nearest library among the libraries  900 ,  910 , and  920 .  
         [0109]    The libraries may have advantages of increasing the number of books, saving the cost for purchasing books, and increasing the use of library.  
         [0110]    It is reasonable that the place for exchanging or loaning books is not limited to the library  900 ,  910 , and  920  and may be any place where the exchange or loan of books is possible.  
         [0111]    Additionally, the business proprietor  10  arranges the books by fields, kinds, and subjects and allows a user to have priority to loan books that suit the user&#39;s taste.  
         [0112]    For example, the proprietor  10  arranges the books by items such as book of fiction, comic book, magazine, collection of poem, professional technical book, children&#39;s book, book for examination, reference book, book for various qualifying examinations, etc and gives the user  30  priority for loaning the books that correspond to the kinds of books that the user deposits or the user&#39;s  30  personal information. The proprietor  10  may use a method of loaning the books arranged by fields, kinds, subjects, and years only or a method of loaning the books regardless of fields, kinds, subjects, and years.  
         [0113]    Further, when the user deposits the latest books or best-selling ones, the user may receive the priority for loaning the latest books or best-selling books.  
         [0114]    Depositing books in the library should be national campaign and the benefit should be given to who deposits books in the library. Everyone has books more than one and books not to be read and occupying space of room. The libraries up to now lend books for nothing, but from now on, users depositing books in the library should receive the benefit of loaning books. If the library does not lend books to who does not deposit books in library, users may deposit books in a library (deposit center or loan center). It may contribute to the development of culture of using library and save the cost for purchasing books. When the user depositing books graduates from school or moves to another area, the library may transfer the books of the user to a library of the area where the user moves.  
         [0115]    [0115]FIG. 17 is a structural diagram of service concerned with jewels and accessories.  
         [0116]    Referring to FIG. 17, the users  30  donate, entrust, or sell jewels or accessories belonging to the users  30  to stores  1000  specializing in jewels and accessories and the stores  1000  provide service of the exchange use or the loan use of jewels or accessories to the users  30 .  
         [0117]    The users  30  may exchange the jewels or accessories with each other in person not using the stores  1000 . In this case, the users  30  may make a financial profit. On the contrary, in the case of using the stores  1000 , the exchange or loan with another users may be possible. In this case, the stores  1000  may save the cost for purchasing things since the stores  1000  loan deposited things.  
         [0118]    As the case of libraries, the stores may be replaced with any places where the exchange or loan of things is possible.  
         [0119]    The methods of exchanging or loaning things mentioned above referring to FIGS.  13 - 17  are possible through internet using network  20 , conventional personal visit, telephone, communication system, etc.  
         [0120]    According to the methods of exchanging or loaning things mentioned above, the exchange use or the loan use carries more than one conditions. The user  30  finds a person who has things that the user  30  needs or things by search, then, makes a reservation for the things or requests the exchange use. When the exchange condition is difficult or there is any trouble to communication with the other party, the user  30  requests the exchange use or the loan use to the business proprietor. The other party of users  30  or the business proprietor  10  should answer to the user  30  who requests the exchange use or the loan use. The business proprietor  10  should prepare the things deposit center  80  where the users may exchange, lend, or borrow things and the users  30  donate, entrust, or sell things to the things deposit center  80 . The business proprietor  10  running the things deposit center  80  stores the personal information of the users  30 , the information of the users&#39; articles, or the information of insurance in the database linked to the web server.  
         [0121]    In addition, though it is not described in drawings, when the things are the exhibits of museum or art gallery, the exhibits may temporarily exchanged and displayed for users to see the exhibits without moving to another area.  
         [0122]    The service of exchange use or loan use may be applied to the land. When the user  30  who does farming has a land not suitable for crops that he/she wants to cultivate, it costs much to change or improve the soil. In this case, the user may exchange the land with the one suitable for crops and it may make a financial profit.  
         [0123]    Additionally, the service may be applied to machines or medical instruments. In the case of medical instruments, such a service may be more effective since it cost so much to prepare the medical instruments even when the same is temporarily used.  
         [0124]    Consequently, the service of exchange use or loan use may be applied to all the valuable things. The inventive service may be applied to the conventional service business using newspaper, practical advertisement paper, etc.  
         [0125]    According to an aspect of the present invention, since the service business proprietor intermediates temporary exchange of things that the users wants to use, the users may use things without cost for purchasing things. In addition, since the user may use things that the users easily get tired of for a short period of time, this service may satisfy the users&#39; desire of various things.  
         [0126]    According to another aspect of the present invention, since the users may deposit things occupying space to loan the same, this service provides the users advantages that the users may get more space and a new value of things may be generated by re-using the things.  
         [0127]    According to another aspect of the present invention, when any accident or violation of traffic regulations is occurred in the middle of the exchange use of automobiles, the user or the business proprietor may apply sanctions against the other user that occurs the accident or violation of traffic regulations. In this case, the user drives carefully to prevent any accident or violation of traffic regulations and the number of automobiles not insured may be reduced since automobiles not insured may be excluded from the exchange use.  
         [0128]    While the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications and substitutions can be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as set forth in the appended claims.
