APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ELECTRONIC REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS
First Claim
1. A method for providing commercial transaction services of virtual real estate by connecting at least one operator computer, a server computer for controlling a digital map and a communication transaction, and at least one user terminal, through a communication network, comprising:
- storing a program, in which a regional division technique is coded on a digital map for sales of virtual real estate, in the server computer;
storing information on which sales price tables according to regions and property sizes of virtual real states are coded, information on a technique for estimating a price according to a property size and information on non-transaction regions, in the server computer;
outputting a geographic information system (GIS) digital map and selecting the digital map according to layers representing the area in reduced scale;
deleting general point of interest (POI) information, except public information, from information displayed on the layer and inserting information on non-transaction regions including specific topographical features and public facilities into digital map data;
creating a digital map and storing the created digital map in the server computer by repeatedly executing the process for deleting the general POI information according to respective layers and inserting the information on non-transaction regions into the digital map data; and
performing a transaction or administration of virtual real estate to be performed, on the basis of the digital map, by means of the server computer, through the user terminal.
