Introducer's evaluation of the creator includes evaluation of the creator's potential, etc., indefinite or long term evaluation (potential evaluation), and evaluation of the creator's motivation at the time of evaluation, short term evaluation (short term) Evaluation) may be added. The specific term may vary depending on the contents of the content creation work. It is also conceivable to incorporate contest awards and nominations into potential assessments (and / or short-term assessments). This series of rules can be determined by the service provider referring to the views of authorities and occupational unions in that area.

When the producer has an introducer, the management device 5 confirms the intention of the introducer to the introducer using a means such as the Internet, and based on the intention of the introducer. It can be registered in the introducer database 7 described later. If the introduction intention cannot be confirmed, the fact that registration as an introducer could not be notified to the creator using a means such as the Internet. On the other hand, when there is no introducer in the creator, registration without an introducer or registration with an intention to seek an introducer is possible, and from among introducers registered in an introducer database 7 described later. It is possible to choose.

Further, in the management device 5, when registering in the producer database 6, it is possible to charge a registration fee with a credit card for identity verification and credit confirmation. In addition, for continuous confirmation of credit status,
The registration maintenance fee may be debited with a credit card. If the credit cannot be confirmed, the registration will be deleted. Note that the credit check may be performed based on a survey by the Koshinsho, the opinion of the workplace union, or the like.

As described above, when the creator has an introducer, the information on the introducer is registered after confirming the intention of the introducer, or is registered by the introducer himself. If the “introducer” offered by the creator is not found in the introducer database 7, the management device 5 may prompt the introducer to register the introducer. At this time, the management device 5 examines whether or not the user is qualified as an introducer and registers it as an introducer evaluation (initial evaluation).

In the management device 5, when registering in the introducer database 7, it is possible to charge a registration fee with a credit card for identity verification and credit confirmation. In addition, for continuous confirmation of credit status,
The registration maintenance fee may be debited with a credit card. If the credit cannot be confirmed, the registration will be deleted. Note that the credit check may be performed based on a survey by the Koshinsho, the opinion of the workplace union, or the like. It should be noted that a reward may be paid to the introducer in accordance with the performance of the creator who has been introduced.

In addition, the introducer may register the creator he / she introduces in the creator database 6 at the time of his / her registration. At this time, the management device 5 confirms the intention of the creator introduced by the introducer using a means such as the Internet, and then registers as a creator.

A-4. Customer Database The customer database 8 stores customer information as shown in FIG.
As shown in (c), a customer profile (such as a preference for a product), a customer evaluation, and the like are accumulated.

Note that the credit check may be performed based on a survey by the Koshinsho, the opinion of the workplace union, or the like. This may have the effect of excluding anti-social customers from the scope of this service, so that the creator can trust the work with confidence. In addition, the registration may be deleted if the registration conditions are violated even after the registration. It is also conceivable that the creator himself registers himself as a customer in the customer database 8 to obtain a cooperator for the production work.

B. Next, an operation of the above-described embodiment will be described. Here, FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram for explaining the operation at the time of registration in the present embodiment. B-1. Registration of introducer (master) First, a procedure for registering an introducer will be described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining the introducer registration procedure. First, in step S10, the introducer enters the introducer terminal 2
To access the network 4 and register its own profile in the introducer database 7 (see registration in FIG. 3). At this time, at the time of registration, the management device 5 applies a registration fee with a credit card for identity verification and credit confirmation. Next, it is determined in step S12 whether or not the credit has been confirmed. If the credit cannot be verified, the registration is rejected in step S14. On the other hand, if the credit can be confirmed, at step S16, the authority's opinion or
Based on a survey by the Koshinsho and the opinion of the occupational union, a review will be conducted to determine if the applicant is eligible. If it is determined that the person is not qualified as an introducer, the registration is rejected in step S14. On the other hand, if it is determined that the user is qualified as an introducer, the introducer is registered in the introducer database 7 in step S18, an introducer evaluation (initial evaluation) is set, and the process ends.

B-2. Customer Registration Next, a customer registration procedure will be described. Here, FIG.
5 is a flowchart for explaining a customer registration procedure. First, in step S20, the customer accesses the network 4 using the customer terminal 3, and registers his or her profile (such as a preference for a product) in the customer database 8 (see registration in FIG. 3). At this time, at the time of registration, the management device 5 applies a registration fee with a credit card for identity verification and credit confirmation. Next, step S
At 22, it is determined whether or not the credit has been confirmed. If the credit cannot be verified, registration is rejected at step S24. On the other hand, if the credit can be confirmed, the customer is registered in the customer database 8 in step S26, and the customer is evaluated (initial evaluation) such as a customer who is strict in quality and delivery time or a sweet customer.
Is set, and the process ends.

B-3. Registration of Content Creator Next, a procedure for registering a content creator will be described.
Here, FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining the registration procedure of the content creator. First, step S30
Then, the content creator accesses the network 4 using the creator terminal 1 and introduces the creator's self, the creator's introducer (or the referrer's request),
The contest award experience and the nomination record are registered in the creator database 6 (see the registration in FIG. 3). At this time, at the time of registration, the management device 5 applies a registration fee with a credit card for identity verification and credit confirmation. Next, in step S32, it is determined whether or not the credit has been confirmed. If the credit cannot be verified, the registration is rejected in step S34.

On the other hand, if the credit can be confirmed, it is determined in step S36 whether or not there is an introducer. If there is an introducer, the process proceeds to step S38, and the introduced introducer is transmitted to the introduced introducer using a means such as the Internet.
Confirm the intention of introducing the creator. When the introduction intention is confirmed, the process proceeds to step S46, and the creator is registered in the creator database 6 with the introducer (master). The introducer searches the creator database 6 for the creator, evaluates the abilities of the creator, and then notifies the service provider of the creator rating (see the evaluation of the creator in FIG. 3). . Then, the management device 5 determines in step S48 that
Based on the review by the introducer, the creator's evaluation (short-term evaluation, potential evaluation / introduction, etc.) is set, and the process ends.

On the other hand, in step S38, the management device 5
If the introduction intention cannot be confirmed, the fact that registration as an introducer was not possible is notified to the creator using means such as the Internet, and in step S40, it is determined whether an introducer is necessary. . If an introducer is required, the process proceeds to step S42, where the introducer (master) is selected from the introducer database 6, and then the above-described step S3 is performed.
In step 8, the intention of introducing the creator is confirmed for the selected introducer using a means such as the Internet. When the introduction intention is confirmed, the above-described steps S46 and S48 are performed.
The creator is registered in the creator database 6 with the introducer (master), and the creator is evaluated by the introducer (initial evaluation)
Is set and the process ends. If it is not possible to confirm the intention to introduce the selected introducer, the above-described processing may be repeated by changing the introducer.

If there is no introducer or no introducer is required, the process proceeds to steps S44 and S40, and proceeds to step S44.
In step S48, the creator's evaluation by himself (initial evaluation)
Is set and the process ends.

B-4. Next, the ordering / order receiving process of the production work will be described. Here, FIG. 4 is a conceptual diagram for explaining an operation at the time of receiving an order for a production operation in the present embodiment. FIGS. 8 and 9 are flowcharts for explaining the ordering / order receiving process of the production work. When ordering a production work, the customer first accesses the customer database 8 via the network 4 by the customer terminal 3 in step S60, and writes a production request summary in the production work request area of the customer database 8 (FIG. 4). See the entry below). The contents of the description include the content of the production request, the delivery date, the reward (the maximum amount, the average amount, the minimum amount), and the like. At this time, a keyword or the like may be added for convenience in a search described later. In addition, the production ability that the customer requests from the producer who produces the content may be described. In addition, the rewards include the maximum, average,
Consider motivating the creator by ranking according to the minimum amount, such as "reward for very satisfactory results", "standard reward", "minimal reward" Can be The described production request contents can be browsed by searching for a customer database 8 by a person registered as a producer and a person registered as an introducer (see browsing in FIG. 4).

Next, in step S62, the creator accesses the customer database 8 through the creator terminal 1 via the network 4, browses the contents of the production request, and determines whether or not the conditions are met. And if the conditions are not met,
Proceeding to step S64, no work is received. On the other hand, if the conditions are met, the process proceeds to step S66, and the creator who wants to commission the production writes the fact in the customer database 8 and informs the customer of the fact (see entry in FIG. 4). At this time, the creator may add, as one of the selection criteria, “severe customer” or “sweet customer” described as information about the customer in the customer database 8. In addition, the customer accesses the customer database 8 via the network 4 with the customer terminal 3 and confirms the production applicant by browsing the production commissioning request written in the customer database 8 (see FIG. 4). ), Access the creator database 6 to view the profile of the creator (see browsing in FIG. 4),
By accessing the introducer database 7 and browsing the profile of the introducer (master) of the production applicant (see browsing in FIG. 4), in step S68, it is determined whether or not the condition of the production applicant is met. Confirm.

Then, the customer discusses directly with the creator registered as a production applicant, or discusses on the customer database 8 via the network 4 using the customer terminal 3 and the creator terminal 1 and the condition is satisfied. Select a suitable creator (Fig. 4
Creator selection). On the other hand, if the condition is not met, the process returns to step S62, and a creator meeting the condition is searched. It should be noted that the customer may start production after consultation without receiving the service of the service provider. In this case, the customer may not be able to obtain any benefit or customer evaluation provided by the service provider described below. Similarly, authors will not be able to receive evaluations or other services.

Next, before starting the production, the creator and the customer conclude a production contract in step S70 with the service provider that mediates between the creator and the customer. Deposit the completion reward. In order to avoid risks such as runaway of the creator and loss of location of the customer without paying, the service provider may keep all or part of the production cost until completion. Good. In addition, the service provider may receive a producer introduction contract fee from the customer at this time.

Further, regarding the handling of the copyright after completion, the intention may be indicated in the item (copyright policy) of the corresponding work in the production work request area of the customer database 8. This allows the management device 5 to know the existence of a product that can be distributed by itself.

Next, in step S72, it is determined whether or not the production of the content is completed. If the production of the content is completed, the process proceeds to step S74, where the customer evaluates the production result (product). Then, when the customer reports the satisfaction to the management device 5, in step S76, according to the satisfaction,
The short-term evaluation of the creator in the creator database 6 and the introducer evaluation in the introducer database 7 are updated. Step S
At 78, the customer rating in the customer database 8 is updated, depending on what rating the customer has given the creator to be a "severe customer" or "sweet customer".
Alternatively, the creator may update the customer evaluation in the customer database 8 by directly transmitting the evaluation of the customer to the management device 5.

Next, in step S80, the management device 5 pays the creator a reward in accordance with the completion reward evaluation, that is, the customer's satisfaction, and returns the difference from the completion reward stored in the customer in step S70 to the customer. . However, it is conceivable to give a part of the reward to the producer in advance in the form of a deposit. In this case, the difference between the completion fee and the deposit is paid. In addition, when the service provider receives a completion fee from the customer, the commission for which the service provider receives some benefit such as a distribution right is discounted. In addition, the Service Provider distributes the products for which distribution rights have been obtained,
Earnings may be obtained.

On the other hand, when an accident occurs, for example, when the production cannot be completed, the management device 5 lowers the creator's evaluation at the same time as step S82 and greatly reduces the introducer's evaluation at step S84. The business decides what to do next.

B-5. Maintenance of Creator Ability Evaluation and Introducer Evaluation Next, maintenance of creator ability evaluation and introducer evaluation according to the present embodiment will be described. When the producer's short-term evaluation reaches a certain level, the results of the short-term evaluation may be added to the potential evaluation. It is also possible to incorporate the creator's contest award experience and nominations into potential assessments (or (and) short-term assessments). The "constant level" referred to here is determined by the service provider with reference to the views of authorities and occupation unions in that area.

If the short-term evaluation of the creator has expired, the corresponding evaluation point is deducted. However, producers who have continued to produce actively or have been highly evaluated by customers, or evaluations related to such production activities, may be extended based on certain rules, such as extending the deadline. Conceivable. The "certain rules" referred to here are determined by the service provider with reference to the views of authorities, occupation unions, and the like in that area.

If the production cannot be completed for some reason, the introducer's evaluation is deducted. Conversely, if the creator gives a good result, the introducer's evaluation is also raised. Furthermore, both the producer and the introducer may delete the registration when the evaluation falls below a certain level, or when there is a serious failure.

According to the above-described embodiment, digital video equipment and PCs represented by high performance and low price have made it possible for many people to engage in the content production business. Such content creators can be evaluated objectively and specifically. In addition, a content creator having a production ability can appropriately receive the evaluation from the customer.

Further, even if the content creator is a private business or a very small business, the customer can easily find the customer regardless of whether it is in Japan or abroad. In particular, by promoting the production of high-quality and low-priced video content,
The level of human culture can be improved. In addition, by evaluating a content creator by an introducer who is in a leadership position of the content creator or a referrer who recommends the content creator, the content creator of the individual business or a very small business entity can be identified. Nevertheless, it is possible to eliminate anxiety about maintaining and improving the abilities and stably performing the production work.

Further, by providing the service provider with the completion fee from the customer, it is possible to prevent the creator from escaping the production funds and fleeing, or to prevent the customer from paying the production funds. It can solve both the creator's anxiety and the customer's anxiety. In addition, even if the content creator has advanced technology enough to use the high-performance, high-performance equipment used for content creation, even if he is a young person who has scarce or no human resources, Customers can be easily found and orders can be obtained. Also, by introducing customer ratings, it is possible to reduce the risk that the content creator will receive a job order from an anti-social organization or the like. Furthermore, the Meister system, which is traditionally performed in Germany and Japan and has proven its effects, can be realized on new technologies such as the Internet.

In the above-described embodiment, only the production of contents such as images has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and customers who request contents, producers who produce the contents, and introducers who introduce and instruct the producers are provided. Any business that can produce content due to the above relationship may be used.
