Description

The present invention relates to a technical information providing system, and more particularly to a technical information providing system that provides information on a technology possessed by an organization, an individual, or the like.

When a company starts a new business, if the company does not have the knowledge, technology and equipment necessary to proceed with the business, first contact affiliated companies such as subsidiaries or existing business partners and request business cooperation. By doing so, we will try to supplement the parts that our company lacks.
However, there are cases where affiliated companies and existing business partners cannot supplement the technologies that their company lacks, and in that case, it is necessary to search for new partner companies.

As one of the prior arts for searching for a new partner company as described above, a trading system disclosed in Patent Document 1, a control method of the trading system, and a program for that purpose have been proposed.
In the trading system of Patent Document 1, the management system determines whether the conditions, requirements, standards, etc. of the services registered in the table are mutually compatible between the important person and the supplier, and this is determined. If the above is affirmed, the service requested by the important person and the service that can be provided by the supplier are matched.
This enables consumers to easily search for partner companies that can supply the services they desire.

Hereinafter, the background of the present embodiment will be described with reference to these figures.

In the first embodiment of the present invention, the ordering party (for example, a large company) is searching for a business partner who possesses a technology that the company does not have in conducting its own business.
In the present embodiment, the ordering side is a company that starts a business as an example, but may be another organization such as a public organization, a university, or a research institution, or an individual or a department (university or research institution). Including the laboratory of).

The ordering side (for example, a small and medium-sized enterprise) is an individual or an organization that can be a business partner candidate searched by the ordering side, and possesses predetermined technology, knowledge, or equipment.
In the present embodiment, the ordering side is, for example, a small-to-medium-sized company that receives an order for the ordering side's business, but the scale is not limited to this, and other public organizations, universities, research institutes, etc. It may be an organization of the above, or it may be an individual or a department (including a laboratory of a university or a research institution).

A coordinator is an organization or individual who supports one or more contractor's businesses and proposes matching with the ordering party in the support activities. The coordinator is familiar with the profile of the business operator in charge of support and the technology that is its strength, and responds to the ordering side about the information of the ordering side on behalf of the ordering side.
For example, coordinators are local public organizations, universities, banks, industrial promotion foundations (organizations) or private research companies, human resources banks, management consultants, etc., rooted in each region such as the Industrial Promotion Organization in Hokkaido, and are local. It may support the business of the ordering side (local company, etc.).

The management business operator is a business operator that manages and operates the technical information providing system of the present embodiment.

The technical information providing system in the present embodiment matches the technology required for the ordering side to carry out the business with the technology possessed by the ordering side, and provides the ordering side with information on the ordering side that meets the conditions of the ordering side. To provide.

Here, in the present embodiment, the "technology" desired by the ordering side and the "technology" possessed by the ordering side are not only the technology, but also the knowledge, the equipment of the factory or the like that demonstrates the technology, and the technology. Includes products derived from the technology, such as products manufactured and services provided.
For example, if the ordering party possesses sheet metal processing technology, the technology includes not only the technology in a narrow sense, but also the factory that performs the sheet metal processing, know-how, and products manufactured by the sheet metal processing. ..

In the present embodiment, when the ordering side registers the matter information including the information of the conditions necessary for its own business in the management server of the management business operator, the management business operator discloses the registered matter information to the coordinator. To do.
The coordinator confirms the contents of the project information and recommends to the ordering party the ordering party that meets the conditions as a business partner presented in the project information, out of one or more ordering parties that he / she is in charge of supporting. At this time, the coordinator informs the management company and the ordering side of the profile information of the ordering side and the technology, strengths, etc. possessed by the ordering side as the reason for recommendation.
The management company confirms the contents transmitted from the coordinator side and registers it in the management server. The stage in which the coordinator recommends the ordering side to the management company and the ordering side is called the ordering side's recommendation.
The ordering party responds to the conditions of the matter information. The stage in which the ordering side evaluates and selects the response from the ordering side is called the primary selection.
In addition, the ordering side registers new conditions in the management server as the matter information for the ordering side that has passed the primary selection. The stage of selection on the ordering side based on this new condition is called secondary selection.
Among the ordering side recommended by the above coordinator, the ordering side that has received high evaluation from the ordering side and passed the primary selection proceeds to the secondary selection. The ordering party who has advanced to the secondary selection responds to the conditions presented in the above secondary selection.
The ordering side evaluates the response from the ordering side in the secondary selection, and the ordering side, which was highly evaluated here, proceeds to the interview with the ordering side.
Then, the ordering side evaluates the ordering side in the interview, and the ordering side that passes the interview is officially selected as the business partner of the ordering side.

The technical information providing system in the present embodiment uses the information acquired at the time of matching between the ordering side and the ordering side, and image information showing the tendency of the technology required by the entire market (industry) or a part thereof. (Hereinafter referred to as a trend map) is generated and provided to the ordering side, the ordering side or the coordinator.
As described above, this trend map shows the trends of the technology desired by the market (industry), so that the ordering party can use it as a guideline when deciding the business to be developed in the future.
On the other hand, the ordering side can easily decide the technology to be invested in the company in the future by referring to the trend map.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a trend map according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
In the example shown in the figure, the trend map forms a tree structure consisting of five categories (hierarchies), and one or more technical items belong to the categories.
Technical items (nodes) in adjacent categories are connected by edges (lines) that represent the degree of relevance.

A category is a category that classifies technical items based on their meaning.
In the example of the figure, the trend map has categories "market", "product", "requirement", "function", and "technology" in order from the top, and the top is abstract and the bottom is concrete. It has become. Each category includes multiple technical items (ICT / IoT, work style reform, ... safety, ... heat engine, ...).
“Market” indicates the type of market that constitutes an industry.
“Product” refers to the type of product that is required to be supplied to the market in an industry.
“Requirement” indicates the type of issue that needs to be resolved for a product supplied in an industry.
“Function” indicates the type of function that requires improvement, which is more specific to the problem that needs to be solved in an industry.
"Technology" indicates the type of technology specifically required to improve functionality in an industry.
In this figure, the industry is, for example, the "automobile industry."

Technical items are items related to the technology used in the business, and there are various items depending on the category to which they belong.

In the example of this figure, the edge thickness is adjusted based on the degree of relevance between each technical item so that the degree of relevance between each technical item can be grasped at a glance.
The degree of relevance is an index showing the depth of relevance between each technical item in the trend map.
In the trend map of the example in the figure, the edges are expressed from thick to thin as the degree of relevance decreases (levels 1 → 2 → 3 in order from the thickest one).
For example, in the example of this figure, the technical item "low environmental load" belonging to the function and the technical item "common platform" belonging to the technology are connected by the thickest level 1 edge, and in the automobile industry, "low". It has been shown that many companies are required to have "common infrastructure" technology or are trying to use "common infrastructure" technology in order to realize the function of "environmental load".

In this example, the characteristic expression is made so that the thickness of the edge is changed according to the degree of relevance, but any characteristic expression may be used so that the degree of relevance can be easily grasped. It is not limited to expressing the difference in the degree of relevance by the thickness of the edge as described above.
For example, a characteristic expression may be made by changing the edge color, linearity, or the like according to the degree of relevance.

The trend map generated in this way efficiently extracts the technical items that are important in the business planned by multiple ordering parties, so it is a comprehensive representation of the trends of multiple ordering parties in the industry. Can be done.
Therefore, by checking the contents of this trend map, the ordering side can easily grasp the direction in which the entire industry is heading, and proceed with the business plan without lagging behind other competitors. It becomes possible.

Further, the technical information providing system in the present embodiment uses the information acquired at the time of matching between the ordering side and the ordering side, and image information indicating the technical contents currently possessed by the ordering side (hereinafter, skill map). ) Is generated and provided to the ordering side or the ordering side.
This skill map also shows in which fields the technology owned by the ordering party can be applied, so the ordering party uses this when developing the business to perform appropriate matching. It is possible to search for the business partner (ordering side) that is really needed.
On the other hand, by referring to their own skill map, the ordering party can objectively grasp the content of the technology it possesses and can accurately recognize what kind of field the technology is useful for. .. In addition, when the ordering side becomes the side that orders the business on the contrary, it is possible to accurately grasp the technology that is lacking in itself and easily identify the technology that requires an external order.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a skill map according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in the figure, the skill map forms a tree structure consisting of five categories (hierarchies) like the trend map, and the edges (lines) in which the technical items (nodes) of adjacent categories represent the degree of relevance. ) Is connected.

In the example of the figure, the skill map has categories "market", "product", "requirement", "function", and "technology" in order from the top, and the top is abstract and the bottom is concrete. It has become. Each category includes multiple technical items (ICT / IoT, work style reform, ... safety, ... heat engine, ...).
“Market” indicates the type of market that constitutes an industry.
“Product” refers to the type of product that the ordering party can supply to the market in an industry.
“Requirement” indicates the type of problem that can be solved for a product that can be supplied by the ordering party in an industry.
"Function" indicates a type of function that can be improved by making the problem that can be solved by the ordering party more specific in a certain industry.
"Technology" indicates a specific type of technology used by the ordering party to improve the function in an industry.
In this figure, the industry is, for example, the "automobile industry."

In the example of this figure, the edge thickness is adjusted based on the calculated degree of relevance between each technical item so that the degree of relevance between each technical item can be grasped at a glance.
In the skill map of the example in the figure, the edges are expressed from thick to thin as the degree of relevance decreases (levels 1 → 2 → 3 in order from the thickest one).
For example, in the example of this figure, the technical item "ride comfort" belonging to the function and the technical item "material" belonging to the technology are connected by the thickest level 1 edge, and the ordering side of the example in the figure is an automobile. It has been shown that the skill to realize the function of "ride comfort" is high by using the technology of "material" in the manufacturing of.

In this example, a characteristic expression (display) is made so that the thickness of the edge is changed according to the degree of relevance, but the expression may be characteristic so that the degree of relevance can be easily grasped. However, it is not limited to expressing the difference in the degree of relevance by the thickness of the edge as described above.
For example, a characteristic expression may be made by changing the edge color, linearity, or the like according to the degree of relevance.

The technical information providing system extracts the technical items related to the words described in the text data of the case information answered by the ordering side who received a certain evaluation from the ordering side, and the technical items extracted from the same case information. Judge that they are closely related to each other and set the degree of relevance.
In addition, the technical information provision system extracts the technical items related to the words described in the text data of the response information showing the contents of the response from the ordering party who received a certain evaluation from the ordering side, and the same project. It is judged that the technical items extracted from the information and the technical items extracted from the same answer information are closely related, and the degree of relevance is set.
In this way, the technical information providing system of the present embodiment repeatedly extracts technical items based on the case information and the response information and sets the degree of relevance, and generates a skill map for each order receiving side.
The skill map generated in this way is related to the technical items extracted more than a predetermined number of times from the case information and the reply information when the ordering side receives a certain evaluation from the ordering side in the process of replying to the case information. It can be said that the ordering party has strengths in technology, and when the degree of relevance set for these technical items is equal to or higher than a predetermined value, it is said that the relationship between these technical items is particularly strong. be able to.
Therefore, by checking the contents of this skill map, the ordering side and the like can accurately select the ordering side with high skills required of the business partner.
In addition, the ordering side can objectively judge the technology that is its strength and the technology that it lacks by checking the contents of its own skill map, and future corporate management, etc. It becomes possible to easily plan the policy of.

This secondary list data is a collection of response information transmitted from one or more ordering side terminals 20 on the ordering side that have passed the above primary selection.
The management company terminal 50 transmits the created secondary list data to the management server 40 by the operation of the management company, and also transmits information to the management server 40 to instruct the public approval of the secondary list data. To do.
When the management server 40 receives the above-mentioned secondary list data and the information of the above-mentioned public approval instruction from the management company terminal 50, the control unit 41 of the management server 40 stores the received secondary list data in the information storage unit. In addition to registering in 42, according to the instruction of the management company, the corresponding secondary list data is publicly approved to the ordering side according to the instruction of the management company (step S129).
The management server 40 transmits the publicly approved secondary list data to the ordering terminal 10 (step S130).

Next, the technical information providing system executes the evaluation information registration process (step S131).
The contents of the evaluation information registration process will be described below.
When the ordering side terminal 10 receives the secondary list data from the management server 40, the ordering side terminal 10 displays it on the display unit 14. At this time, the ordering side may print the secondary list data by using the printing function of the ordering side terminal 10.

FIG. 32 is a diagram showing an example of secondary list data according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in the figure, the secondary list data includes a list of orders that have passed the primary selection and each order shown in the list for the matter information (secondary selection condition information) presented by the ordering side. The contents of the answer information that each side answered are shown.
Further, when the ordering side selects the name, entry number, etc. of the ordering side posted in the secondary list data in the operation unit 15, the display unit 14 responds to the conditions (conditions 5 and 6) of the matter information by the ordering side. Information can be displayed.
The ordering side confirms the contents of the displayed response information of each ordering side, and uses the operation unit 15 to indicate the evaluation of the ordering side of the business partner candidate in the input field provided in the secondary list data. Enter the information.
Here, as the evaluation information to be input, for example, information on evaluation of the content of the answer by the ordering party to the question (condition) in the matter information, information on winning or losing of each ordering side, and information on the reason for the loss. Including.
In the secondary list data shown in the figure, each evaluation (◎ → ○ → △ → × from the highest evaluation) is input according to the content of the response information for each condition.
In addition, the status of the ordering party that meets the conditions in the project information (secondary selection condition information) is "passed (winning)", and the status of the ordering party that does not meet the conditions is "sent off (lost)", which has not yet been determined. "Unrated" is entered in the status of the ordering party.

Next, the ordering side terminal 10 transmits the evaluation information input on the secondary list data to the management server 40.

When the management server 40 receives the evaluation information, the control unit 41 of the management server 40 registers each of the received information in the matching DB 424.
This completes the process of registering the evaluation information for the secondary list data.

Next, the management server 40 transmits the registration notification of the registered evaluation information to the management company terminal 50 (step S132).

Upon receiving the registration notification from the management server 40, the management company terminal 50 edits the evaluation information of the matter information (secondary selection condition information) (step S133).
Since the specific content of the evaluation information editing process of the project information (secondary selection condition information) is the same as that of the project information (primary selection condition information), the description of the content will be omitted.

After the editing process is completed, the management company operates the operation unit 55 to provide the evaluation information for which the editing process has been performed and the information to instruct the public approval of the evaluation information from the management company terminal 50 to the management server 40. To send to.
When the management server 40 receives the evaluation information after the editing process and the information of the instruction for public approval from the management company terminal 50, the control unit 41 of the management server 40 stores the received evaluation information in the information storage unit. It is registered in 42, and various information included in the evaluation information is registered in the matching DB 424.
In addition, the management server 40 publicly approves the corresponding evaluation information to the ordering side and the coordinator in charge of the ordering side in response to the instruction of the management company in the evaluation information (step S134).

Next, the management server 40 shows the result of the secondary selection of the order-receiving side terminal 20 on the order-receiving side and the coordinator terminal 30 of the coordinator in charge of the order-receiving side based on the evaluation information after the editing process. Information is transmitted (step S135).

After that, the ordering side transmits information such as the date of the interview to the ordering side terminal 20 on the ordering side and the coordinator terminal 30 of the coordinator in charge of the ordering side, for example, using the ordering side terminal 10. Then, make an appointment for an interview with the ordering side, and select a business partner from the ordering side who has proceeded to the interview after the interview.
When the selection of the business partner is completed, the ordering side uses the ordering side terminal 10 to transmit the evaluation information based on the evaluation information to the management server 40.
The evaluation information of this interview is, for example, information indicating the selection result (winning / losing) of each ordering party who received the interview.
When the management server 40 receives the evaluation information of the interview, the management server 40 stores the received evaluation information in the information storage unit 42 and registers the information included in the evaluation information in the matching DB 424 (step S136).

When the evaluation information of the interview is registered as described above, the management server 40 transfers the registered evaluation information to the order receiving side terminal 20 of the ordering side who participated in the interview and the coordinator terminal 30 of the coordinator in charge of the ordering side. It is transmitted to convey the result of the interview (step S137).
This completes the operation of selecting a business partner for the technical information provision system.

As described above, the technical information providing system in the present embodiment responds to the conditions (needs) of the project information presented by the ordering side, and the ordering side generally keeps the technical contents held by the ordering side in a private state. Since we will answer about (seeds), the ordering party will be able to minimize the risk of leakage of technologies and know-how that we want to keep secret from the outside.
In this way, since the confidentiality of the technical content of the ordering party is maintained, the technical content of the ordering party can be passed on to the ordering side without hesitation, beyond the content that is normally open to the public on the Internet or the like. Since it can be disclosed, the ordering party can accurately search for a business partner.
Further, in the technical information providing system in the present embodiment, as described above, the ordering side responds to the needs of the ordering side, so even if the needs of the ordering side are not clearly stated, it is usually difficult to search. Even with tacit knowledge, it is possible to easily search for an ordering party that has seeds that can easily solve the needs.

(2) Trend Map Providing Operation FIG. 33 is a sequence chart showing a flow of a trend map providing operation by the technical information providing system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
Hereinafter, the operation in which the management server 40 generates the trend map and provides it to the management company terminal 50 will be described with reference to this figure.

First, as described in steps S102 to S104 above, the ordering side creates matter information (primary selection condition information) using the ordering side terminal 10, and edits it by the management company using the management company terminal 50. After the process, the registration is performed in the management server 40 (step S1001).

Next, when the matter information (primary selection condition information) is registered, the control unit 41 of the management server 40 analyzes the text data included in the conditions of the matter information (primary selection condition information), and the text is analyzed. The words included in the data are compared and collated with the words managed in the technical item TB428, and a plurality of words included in the text data that match the words managed in the technical item TB428 are extracted. (Step S1002).

Next, the control unit 41 of the management server 40 extracts the technical items associated with the extracted words in the technical item TB428, and registers the extracted technical items in the matter DB 425 for each category (step S1003). ..

Next, the control unit 41 of the management server 40 registers the technical items registered in the matter DB 425 in the trend map DB 426 (step S1004).
At this time, the control unit 41 registers the degree of relevance between the technical items in the trend map DB 426 in association with each other.
For example, the control unit 41 may set and register the degree of relevance uniformly with the same value, or may weight and register based on a predetermined condition.

Next, when the management company intends to acquire the trend map, the management company terminal 50 inputs a trend map acquisition request and transmits it to the management server 40 (step S1005).
At this time, the management company can operate the operation unit 55 to specify the range of the trend map to be acquired.
For example, on the trend map acquisition request screen (not shown), the management company specifies conditions such as the categories that make up the trend map, the technical items that make up the trend map, and the registration period of the project information used to generate the trend map. Can be specified.
For example, if the purpose of acquiring the trend map is to grasp the recent market trends, the trend map should be generated based on the recently registered project information (for example, the last year). Is preferable.
If you want to limit the market or industry of the trend map, you can obtain the trend map according to the purpose by specifying to exclude unnecessary categories or technical items.

When the management server 40 receives the trend map acquisition request and the information of the designated condition from the management company terminal 50, the control unit 41 uses the received designated condition information to obtain the technology according to the designated condition from the matter information. A trend that extracts information on items and relevance, uses the extracted technical items and relevance, adds up the relevance between each technical item, and visualizes the relevance between the combined technical items. Generate a map (step S1006).

Here, an example will be described of a method for adding up the relevance degrees.
For example, in the trend map DB426, the control unit 41 has a relationship between the technical item "safety" and "running" with a degree of association "1.0" and a technical item "safety" with "running". If the degree "1.2" is registered, the two are added up and calculated as the degree of association "2.2" between the technical items "safety" and "running".
In this example, the control unit 41 simply adds the degree of relevance between the same technical items, but the degree of relevance between the two may be averaged, weighted, or calculated by other methods.
The calculation method of the degree of relevance is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that the degree of relevance is calculated as the frequency of appearance of technical items in the project information increases.

The value of the degree of relevance between each technical item calculated as described above is called trend map data.
FIG. 34 is a diagram showing an example of trend map data according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
In the example of the figure, the value of the degree of association between the technical item "ICT / IoT" of the category "market" and each technical item of the category "product" is shown. In addition, the value of the degree of relevance between the other technical items (not shown) is omitted in this figure for the sake of simplicity.

Based on the trend map data, the control unit 41 constructs a tree structure in which each category is represented as a hierarchy, and generates image information representing the tree structure as a trend map.

The management server 40 transmits the generated trend map to the management company terminal 50 (step S1007).
When the management company terminal 50 receives the trend map from the management server 40, it displays it on the display unit 54 (step S1008).
The management company confirms the contents of the trend map, and if there is a request from the ordering side, the ordering side, or the coordinator to acquire the trend map, then the ordering side wishing to acquire the trend map using the management company terminal 50. , The trend map is transmitted to each terminal 10, 20, 30 of the order receiving side or the coordinator.
This completes the trend map provision operation.

In the present embodiment described above, the management server 40 transmits the trend map to the management company terminal 50, but in response to an acquisition request from the ordering side terminal 10, the ordering side terminal 20, or the coordinator terminal 30. It may be sent directly to the terminals 10, 20 and 30 of each acquisition request source.

As described above, according to the technical information providing system in the present embodiment, the ordering side registers the matter information including the conditions (needs) required as a business partner by using the ordering side terminal 10 in the management server 40, and the management server. 40 extracts technical items based on the words included in the registered project information, sets the degree of relevance between the technical items included in the same project information, and sets the relevance to these extracted technical items. Generate and provide a trend map based on it.
The trend map is generated by aggregating the combinations of technical items included in the case information presented by a plurality of ordering parties and weighting them in some cases.
In other words, the trend map is a visualization of the words included in the business content planned by a plurality of ordering parties based on the technical items, and the degree of relevance is added to visualize the trends. By checking the contents of the map, it is easy to see what kind of theme is currently desired in the industry and what kind of technology is required to solve the problem of that theme. It becomes possible to grasp.
As a result, the ordering side can improve the accuracy when deciding the management direction such as what department within the company should concentrate investment by checking the contents of the trend map. Is possible.

On the other hand, the ordering side can pinpoint what kind of theme and what kind of technology the ordering side, such as an unspecified number of companies, currently needs by checking the contents of the above trend map. In the future, it will be possible to improve the accuracy when deciding the direction of management, such as which department within the company should be focused on investment.

Further, in the present embodiment described above, the control unit 41 generates a trend map so as to perform a characteristic display such as changing the thickness of the edge according to the high degree of relevance. It is also possible to generate a trend map so that a characteristic display is performed according to the degree of increase in the degree of relevance.
In this case, the control unit 41 refers to the corresponding trend map DB426 on the order receiving side, and aggregates the trend map data for each predetermined period, for example, 2015, 2016, 2017, and so on.
Then, the control unit 41 compares the degree of relevance in each period, and based on the number of increase in the degree of relevance as compared with the previous period, for example, the degree of relevance in which the increase number (rate) is equal to or more than a predetermined value is a thick edge and less than a predetermined value. A trend map is generated so that the degree of relevance of is displayed as a characteristic such as a thin edge.
In this way, the control unit 41 generates and provides a trend map that reflects the rate of change in the degree of relevance over time, and the viewers who confirm this have recently increased demand in the industry, or in the future. It is possible to easily grasp the contents of technologies that will become mainstream.

(3) Skill Map Generation Operation FIG. 35 is a sequence chart showing a flow of skill map provision operation by the technical information providing system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
Hereinafter, the operation in which the management server 40 generates the skill map and provides it to the management company terminal 50 will be described with reference to this figure.

The control unit 41 of the management server 40 refers to the matching DB 424 and extracts the matter number of the matter information replied by each order receiving side (step S2001).

Next, the control unit 41 refers to the matter DB 425, extracts the technical items included in the condition of the matter information of the extracted matter number, and registers the extracted technical items in the skill map DB 427 (step S2002).

Further, as described in steps S107 and S122 above, the management server 40 registers the response information replied by the order receiving side in the information storage unit 42.
At this time, the control unit 41 of the management server 40 analyzes the text data included in the answer information, compares and collates the words included in the text data with the words managed in the technical item TB428. , Among the words included in the text data, a plurality of words that match the words managed in the technical item TB428 are extracted (step S2003).

Next, the control unit 41 of the management server 40 extracts the technical items associated with the extracted words in the technical item TB428, and registers the extracted technical items in the skill map DB 427 for each category (step S2004). ).

Next, the control unit 41 refers to the matching DB 424 and extracts the evaluation information for the response by the order receiving side to the matter information of the extracted matter number (step S2005).
Here, the evaluation information to be extracted may be, for example, information (primary selection, secondary selection or interview) indicating how far the ordering party has passed in the case, and evaluation of each condition in the case information. It may be (◎, ○, Δ, ×).

Next, the control unit 41 calculates the degree of relevance between the technical items based on the above-extracted evaluation information, and registers the calculated relevance in the skill map DB427 (step S2006).
For example, the correspondence between the evaluation information and the weighting coefficient is written in the algorithm (program) executed by the control unit 41 when calculating the relevance degree, and when the evaluation information is input, the control unit 41 writes the correspondence between the evaluation information and the weighting coefficient. The weighting coefficient corresponding to is output, and the output weighting coefficient is multiplied by a predetermined number to calculate the degree of relevance.
In principle, in the above algorithm, a high weighting coefficient is associated with a high evaluation.
In addition, the degree of relevance of the technical items included in the case information and the response information may be weighted according to the final status of the order receiving side (passing the primary selection or passing the secondary selection or final selection). Depending on the evaluation for each condition, the degree of relevance of the technical items included in each condition may be individually weighted.

For example, when the technical items "electrification" and "safety" are included in the conditions of the case information answered by the ordering party, if the ordering party passes the primary selection, the relevance degree is "1.2". 2. If the secondary selection is passed, the relevance level is "1.6", and if the business partner is finally selected after the interview, the relevance level is "2.0". The control unit 41 performs weighting processing of the degree of relevance.

Alternatively, when the response information answered by the ordering party includes the technical items "electricity" and "safety", and the evaluation of the ordering party for the response information is "◎", the degree of relevance is "2. Management such as relevance degree "1.6" in the case of "0" and "○", relevance degree "1.2" in the case of "△", and relevance degree "0" in the case of "x". The control unit 41 of the server 40 performs weighting processing of the degree of relevance.

Next, when the management company intends to acquire the skill map, the management company terminal 50 inputs a skill map acquisition request and transmits it to the management server 40 (step S2009).
At this time, the management company can operate the operation unit 55 to specify the range of the skill map to be acquired.
For example, the management company specifies the order receiving side of the target of the skill map on the skill map acquisition request screen (not shown).
In this way, the management company can acquire the skill map, which is data that can instantly grasp the technical field and the like that the ordering side is good at, by designating the ordering side that is the target of the skill map.

In addition, the management company, on the skill map acquisition request screen (not shown), such as the categories that make up the skill map, the technical items that make up the skill map, the project information used to generate the skill map, and the registration period of the response information. Each specification condition can be specified.
For example, in the case of grasping the contents of recent knowledge and technology owned by the ordering party who has the purpose of acquiring the skill map, the recently registered project information and the response information associated therewith (for example, the last year) It is preferable to generate a skill map based on.
In addition, if you want to limit the market or industry of the skill map, you can acquire the skill map according to the purpose by specifying to exclude unnecessary categories or technical items.

When the management server 40 receives the skill map acquisition request and the information of the designated condition from the management company terminal 50, the control unit 41 receives the designated skill map DB 427 on the order receiving side based on the received information of the designated condition. Refer to, extract the degree of relevance between the technical items of the specified category, technical item, project information / response information registration period, total the extracted relevance, and the total relevance between each technical item. Generate a skill map that visualizes (step S2010).

The overall method of the skill map is the same as that of the trend map.
Further, the control unit 41 of the management server 40 may calculate the numerical value of the weighting coefficient so as to be different depending on whether the technical item is extracted from the matter information answered by the ordering party or extracted from the answer information. ..

Further, the control unit 41 counts the number of times of each technical item registered with reference to the skill map DB427, and weights the value of the number of times of registration of each counted technical item based on the above-extracted evaluation information. Perform processing to generate a skill map.

The data used to generate the skill map, which indicates the value of the degree of relevance between each technical item calculated as described above and the number of times each technical item is registered, is called skill map data.

FIG. 36 is a diagram showing an example of the degree of relevance between each technical item of skill map data in the first embodiment of the present invention.
In the example of the figure, the value of the degree of association between the technical item "ICT / IoT" in the market and each technical item of the product is shown. In addition, the value of the degree of relevance between the other technical items (not shown) is omitted in this figure for the sake of simplicity.

FIG. 37 is a diagram showing an example of the number of times each technical item of skill map data is registered in the first embodiment of the present invention.
In the example of the figure, the order-receiving DB 422 manages information on the number of registrations of each technical item in each category of "market", "product", "requirement", "function", and "technology".
For example, on the ordering side of the example in the figure, the number of registrations for the technical item "electricity" in the category "product" is "87 times", which is a large value compared to other technical items. Can be presumed to be the strength of "electricity" technology.

Based on the skill map data, the control unit 41 constructs a tree structure in which each category is represented as a hierarchy, and generates image information representing the tree structure as a skill map.

The management server 40 transmits the generated skill map to the management company terminal 50 (step S2009).
When the management operator terminal 50 receives the skill map from the management server 40, it displays it on the display unit 54 (step S2010).
The management company confirms the contents of the skill map, and if there is a request from the ordering side, the ordering side, or the coordinator to acquire the skill map, then the ordering side wishing to acquire the skill map is used by using the management company terminal 50. , Send the skill map to each terminal 10, 20, 30 of the ordering side or the coordinator.
This completes the skill map provision operation.

In the present embodiment described above, the management server 40 transmits the skill map to the management company terminal 50, but in response to an acquisition request from the ordering side terminal 10, the ordering side terminal 20, or the coordinator terminal 30. It may be transmitted directly to the terminals 10, 20 and 30 of each acquisition request source.

As described above, according to the technical information providing system in the present embodiment, the ordering side uses the ordering side terminal 20 to collect the answer information including the answer (seeds) about the conditions presented in the matter information on the management server 40. The management server 40 extracts technical items based on the matter information answered by the ordering party and the words included in the above-mentioned registered answer information, and is included in the same matter information and the answer information for the same matter information. The degree of relevance is set for each technical item, and a skill map is generated and provided for each ordering party based on the extracted technical items and the set degree of relevance.
The skill map is generated by aggregating a combination of technical items included in a plurality of project information and a plurality of response information and weighting them based on the content of the evaluation information.
In other words, the skill map is based on the words included in the business content of the ordering side that a certain ordering side responded to and the technical content owned by the ordering side that is likely to meet the conditions for becoming a business partner of that business content. Since the classified items are visualized by adding the degree of relevance, when searching for a business partner, the ordering side confirms the contents of the skill map of each ordering side, and which ordering side becomes the business partner. It becomes possible to easily grasp whether it is suitable or not.

On the other hand, the ordering side can easily grasp the technical content that it owns by checking the content of its skill map, and which department within the company should be focused on investment in the future. It is possible to improve the accuracy when deciding the direction of management.

As described above, the ordering side has specified the ordering side and requested the acquisition of the skill map of the ordering side, but it is also possible to specify other conditions and make the acquisition request.
For example, the management company operates the operation unit 55 of the management company terminal 50 to input "a skill map including a degree of relevance of a predetermined value or more between predetermined technical items" and specified information of search conditions. The input search condition specification information is transmitted to the management server 40 together with the skill map acquisition request.
When the management server 40 receives the skill map acquisition request and the search condition designation information from the management company terminal 50, the control unit 41 calculates the skill map data of each order receiving side, and the skill that matches the search condition. Search map data. The control unit 41 generates a skill map as described above based on the skill map data extracted as a result of the search.
In order to secure the search speed of the control unit 41, the control unit 41 may calculate the skill map data of each order receiving side in advance and store it in the information storage unit 42.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11, the order receiving side DB 422 manages affiliation information indicating which organization the ordering side belongs to.
For example, when a management company or the like specifies an order receiving side, which is an organization of a company or the like, and requests acquisition of a skill map, the control unit 41 of the management server 40 may be an organization belonging to that organization (department within the company, etc.) or If there is skill map data for an individual (company employee), the skill map data for the entire organization (degree of relevance between each technical item) is calculated by integrating these skill map data.
For example, "combining skill map data" means totaling the degree of relevance of small organizations (departments) and individuals belonging to the organization, calculating the average value, and the like.
In this way, the control unit 41 of the management server 40 integrates the skill map data of small organizations (departments, laboratories, etc.) and individuals belonging to the organization (company, research institute, etc.), and obtains the skill map data of the entire organization. It can also be calculated.

Further, a number is attached to the technical item of the skill map shown in FIG. 4, and this number indicates the number of times each technical item of the skill map data is registered.
A viewer who has confirmed the skill map can judge at a glance that the technical item with a large number is related to the technology that the ordering party has strengths.
In the example of FIG. 4, the number of registrations is attached only to the technical item of the category "technology", but this is just an example, and the technical item to which the number is attached is not particularly limited.
Further, in the example of FIG. 4, the number of times of registration is attached to the technical item, but instead of this, the ratio of the number of times of each technical item to each category may be expressed as a percentage. For example, if the number of registrations of technical items in the entire category "Technology" is 50 and the number of registrations of technical items A, B, C, D, and E is 10 times, then technical items A, B, C, Since the ratio of D and E to the entire category "technology" is 20%, each technology item A, B, C, D, and E in the skill map is assigned a number of "20".
It should be noted that the skill map data may be configured so as to perform a characteristic display such as changing the color of the node of each technical item network according to the number of registrations or the percentage of technical items of the skill map.

As described above, the management server 40 generates and provides a skill map for each ordering party.
In addition to this, the management server 40 can also generate and provide a skill map for each coordinator.
When the management server 40 receives the coordinator's skill map acquisition request from the management company terminal 50 or the like, the management server 40 generates skill map data by referring to the coordinator's skill map DB427 as shown in FIG. 18, and finally the coordinator's skill map. Generate a skill map.
The management server 40 generates a skill map of the coordinator based on all the technical items and relevance of the ordering side that the coordinator is in charge of.
By referring to this coordinator's skill map, the ordering party can easily understand which coordinator is in charge of the ordering party who has strengths in the technology related to which technical item, and when selecting a business partner. The selection can proceed smoothly, such as by asking the coordinator to introduce the ordering party.

Further, in the present embodiment described above, the control unit 41 generates a skill map so as to perform a characteristic display such as changing the thickness of the edge according to the high degree of relevance. It is also possible to generate a skill map so that a characteristic display is made according to the degree of increase in the degree of relevance.
In this case, the control unit 41 refers to the corresponding skill map DB 427 on the order receiving side, and aggregates the skill map data for each predetermined period, for example, 2015, 2016, 2017, and so on.
Then, the control unit 41 compares the degree of relevance in each period, and based on the number of increase in the degree of relevance as compared with the previous period, for example, the degree of relevance in which the increase number (rate) is equal to or more than a predetermined value is a thick edge and less than a predetermined value. Generate a skill map so that the relevance of is displayed as a characteristic such as a thin edge.
In this way, the control unit 41 generates and provides a skill map that reflects the rate of change in the degree of relevance over time, and the viewer who confirms this has become a recent strength on the order receiving side. It becomes possible to easily grasp the contents of existing (growing) technologies.

(4) Skill Map Generation Operation by Crawling FIG. 38 is a sequence chart showing a flow of a skill map provision operation by crawling by the technical information providing system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
Hereinafter, the operation in which the management server 40 generates the skill map and provides it to the management company terminal 50 will be described with reference to this figure.

The management server 40 is persuaded by the Internet, patrolls on the Web, collects information on the ordering side, performs so-called crawling, extracts technical items based on the collected Web page information, and extracts the technical items. Generate a skill map based on technical items.

First, the control unit 41 and the communication unit 43 of the management server 40 search for a Web page containing a predetermined keyword and perform crawling (step S2101).
Here, the predetermined keyword is a word or phrase related to the order receiving side, for example, the company name or name of the ordering side, the name of the representative or employee of the ordering side, or the like.

The management server 40 acquires the information of the Web page including the predetermined keyword (step S2102).
The information of the Web page acquired here is, for example, electronic data in html format, and includes various contents including text data, URLs of link destinations inside and outside the site, information on the acquisition time of the Web page, and the like.

At this time, the control unit 41 of the management server 40 analyzes the text data included in the content of the Web page, and compares and collates the words included in the text data with the words managed in the technical item TB428. Then, among the words included in the text data, those that match the words managed in the technical item TB428 are extracted (step S2103).
