Abstract

A first paint color is acquired as a color of a paint of a first vehicle. A second paint color is acquired as a color of a paint including a peelable layer and to be applied over at least a part of the paint in the first paint color. A current or future valuation price of the first vehicle is acquired based on the first paint color or the second paint color.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An information processing system comprising:
a contract management server that comprises:
at least one memory storing instructions and storing residual value data including a residual value of a first vehicle for each of a plurality of first paint colors after an elapse of a predetermined time period,
a server communication interface, and

at least one processor operatively connected to the at least one memory; and
a user terminal that comprises:
a display screen that displays a graphical user interface (GUI), and
a user terminal communication interface for connecting the user terminal to the server communication interface via a network;

wherein the at least one processor of the contract management server is configured to:
cause the GUI to display the plurality of first paint colors and the residual value of each of the plurality of first paint colors in order to prompt the user to make a selection;
acquire a first paint color, from among the plurality of first paint colors, that is a vehicle color of the first vehicle based on a user input via the GUI, wherein the user input selects the first paint color in consideration of the residual value;
cause the GUI to display a plurality of second paint colors after the first paint color is selected, so as to prompt the user to select a second paint color from among the plurality of second paint colors;

acquire the second paint color that is aan overcoat color including a peelable layer to be overcoated on at least a part of the vehicle painted in the first paint color, based on the user input via the GUI;
acquire a current or future valuation price of the first vehicle based on the first paint color or the second paint color.

2. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to acquire an expected valuation price of the first vehicle after the elapse of the predetermined period based on the first paint color or the second paint color.

3. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to acquire an expected valuation price of the first vehicle after the elapse of the predetermined period based on the first paint color and the second paint color.

4. The information processing system according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to acquire, based on the first paint color, an expected valuation price of the first vehicle in a case where the peelable layer is peeled off after the elapse of the predetermined period.

5. The information processing system according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to acquire both a first expected valuation price of the first vehicle in a case where the peelable layer is peeled off after the elapse of the predetermined period, and a second expected valuation price of the first vehicle in a case where the peelable layer is not peeled off.

6. The information processing system according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to determine, based on the expected valuation price, an amount to be paid as a value of the first vehicle by the user who uses the first vehicle for at least the predetermined period.

7. The information processing system according to claim 6 , wherein the amount is determined based on an amount obtained by subtracting the expected valuation price from a price of the first vehicle.

8. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein:
the information processing device is configured to determine specifications of the first vehicle to be used by the user; and
the at least one processor is configured to acquire, for the plurality of first paint colors, expected valuation prices of the first vehicle in a case where the peelable layer is peeled off after the elapse of the predetermined period.

9. The information processing device according to claim 8 , wherein:
the first vehicle is a vehicle to be rented to the user during the predetermined period; and
the at least one processor is configured to determine a rental condition of the first vehicle based on the expected valuation price.

10. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein:
the plurality of first paint colors are selected from a first category; and
the plurality of the second paint colors are selected from a second category including more color variations than color variations of the first category.

11. The information processing device according to claim 10 , wherein the first paint color is a body color including a pearl layer.

12. An information processing device comprising:
at least one memory storing instructions and storingresidual value data including a residual value of a first vehicle for each of a plurality of first paint colors after an elapse of a predetermined time period; and
at least one processor operatively connected to the at least one memory, the at least one processor configured to:
set an application period for updating the residual value data of the first vehicle, wherein the application period is an effective period of the residual value data;
update the residual value data stored in the memory every time the application period elapses;
acquire a first designation of a first paint color that is a vehicle color of a first vehicle, wherein the first paint color is selected from among the plurality of first paint colors, based on the residual value of the first paint color being higher than a predetermined value;
control a display screen of a user terminal to display a graphical user interface (GUI) prompting a user to select a second paint color from among a plurality of second paint colors,
acquire a second designation of the second paint color, wherein the second paint color is an overcoat color including a peelable layer to be overcoated on at least a part of the vehicle painted in the first paint color;
determine, based on the first paint color or the second paint color, an amount to be paid as a value of the first vehicle by the user who uses the first vehicle for at least the predetermined period.

13. The information processing device according to claim 12 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
acquire an expected valuation price of the first vehicle after an elapse of the predetermined period based on the first paint color or the second paint color; and
determine the amount based on the expected valuation price.

14. The information processing device according to claim 13 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
acquire, based on the first paint color, an expected valuation price of the first vehicle in a case where the peelable layer is peeled off after the elapse of the predetermined period; and
determine the amount based on the expected valuation price.

15. The information processing device according to claim 13 , wherein the amount is determined based on an amount obtained by subtracting the expected valuation price from a price of the first vehicle.

16. An information processing device comprising:
at least one memory storing instructions; and
at least one processor operatively connected to the at least one memory, the at least one processor configured to:
control a graphical user interface (GUI) of a user terminal to prompt a user to select at least one of: a first paint color from among a plurality of first paint colors, and a second paint color from among a plurality of second paint colors, wherein the GUI includes residual values of each of the plurality of first paint colors so that the user selects th
