<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an efficient and highly profitable property providing method and a system. <P>SOLUTION: In the property providing method, information on at least one property within a property pool including a subset of available properties and a subset of unavailable properties is provided to a user, a user's request to the property within the property pool is received, and the requested property is defined. The method further includes a step for determining whether the requested property is included in the subset of available properties (a) or in the subset of unavailable properties (b). The method includes a step for immediately providing the requested property to the user (step 306) when the requested property is included in the subset of available properties. Moreover, the method includes a step for applying the provision of the requested property to the user (step 322) when the requested property is included in the subset of available properties and the number of requests to the requested property exceeds a threshold. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
