Abstract

Free design service system, apparatus, and method of life insurance enabling salespersons and customers to design life insurance that meets one'"'"'s specific requirements easily from terminal equipment. This system allows anyone to access via network a life insurance design home page on a Web server from one'"'"'s device such as a personal computer and set the data including the classification of insurance to be reviewed, type, term insured, and age and gender of insured from information available on a design input screen. Accordingly, an insurance premium calculation module provided by the web server calculates a premium, a handling regulations module detects the prescribed consistency of the settings, and a various cumulative calculation module adds up various cumulative amounts. The surrender value is also calculated by a surrender value calculation module. All these data are available in a table format or graphically displayed by a graph drawing module.

Claims

1. An insurance design service providing system comprising:

an arbitrary communication network;

a plurality of nodes connected to said communication network; and

a server device for generating information regarding an insurance product meeting conditions when prescribed conditions regarding the design of prescribed insurance are inputted from any of said nodes, and for transmitting thus generated information to said node from which said prescribed information is inputted.

2. The insurance design service providing system according to claim 1, wherein

said server device transmits a processing module for executing processing to generate said information to said node device.

3. The insurance design service providing system according to claim 2, wherein

said server device performs, with respect to the insurance product based on said inputted conditions, one, a plurality of, or all of the processes of examining whether said insurance product meets the prescribed regulations, calculating a premium, extracting the contents of a guarantee, calculating a surrender value, and detecting information regarding accounting processing, and making a comparison to other insurance products.

4. The insurance design service providing system according to claim 2, wherein

said server device transmits a graph drawing module to said node device for graphically displaying information on the result of said each process at said node device.

5. The insurance design service providing system according to claim 2, wherein said insurance is life insurance.

6. The insurance design service providing system according to claim 5, wherein

any of said plurality of nodes inputs the prescribed conditions relating to the design of life insurance into said server device.

7. The insurance design service providing system according to claim 6, wherein said server device generates information regarding the life insurance product meeting said inputted conditions.

8. The insurance design service providing system according claim 7, wherein

said prescribed conditions relating to the design of said life insurance comprises the conditions including one, a plurality of, or all of the conditions pertaining to age of a policyholder, gender thereof, a family composition thereof, a clinical history thereof, classification of insurance, type of insurance, a payment method of a premium, a term insured, a period of payment of the premium, and contents of a guarantee including an amount insured.

9. The insurance design service providing apparatus including a server device connected to an arbitrary network to which a plurality of nodes is connected, wherein said server device comprising:

a receiving means for receiving prescribed conditions relating to design of prescribed insurance from any said node;

an information generation means for generating information regarding said insurance product meeting said received conditions; and

a transmission means for transmitting said generated information to said node from which said prescribed information is inputted.

10. The insurance design service providing apparatus according to claim 9, wherein

said transmission means transmits a processing module for generating insurance specification information based on the information generated by said information generation means to said node to which said prescribed information is inputted.

11. The insurance design service providing apparatus according to claim 10, wherein

said node generates said insurance specification information on the node.

12. The insurance design service providing apparatus according to claim 11, wherein

said information generation means performs, with respect to the insurance product, based on said inputted conditions, one, a plurality of, or all of the processes of examining whether said insurance product meets the prescribed regulations, calculating the premium, extracting the contents of the guarantee, calculating the surrender value, and detecting information regarding accounting processing, and making the comparison to other insurance products.

13. The insurance design service providing apparatus according to claim 12, wherein

said information generation means generates information on the results of said processes.

14. The insurance design service providing apparatus according to claim 13, wherein

said transmission means transmits the graph drawing module to said node for displaying information on the result of said each process.

15. The insurance design service providing apparatus according to claim 14, wherein

said transmission means causes to graphically display information about the result of said each process on the node.

16. The insurance design service providing apparatus according to claim 11, further including:

a database means for storing the prescribed conditions relating to the design of the prescribed insurance inputted from said node.

17. The insurance design service providing apparatus according to claim 16, wherein
