However, in recent years, the semiconductor business has been changing at a rapid rate of market fluctuations, and in conventional demand surveys, it takes too much time to determine the overall demand trend, and the problem is that the survey results quickly become obsolete. there were. Therefore, a method that can perform demand survey in real time is desired.
An object of the present invention is to automatically investigate product demand in real time.

According to one aspect of the present invention, a search server is connected to the search server, a first search step of searching for a semiconductor product from a product database based on a characteristic value of the semiconductor product input as a search condition. A display step in which the user computer displays the search results, a recording server in which the aggregation server connected to the search server records a history of the input search conditions, and a semiconductor input as the search conditions A counting step in which the aggregation server counts the number of times for each characteristic value of the product, and if the number of counted characteristic values is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the aggregation server searches for a semiconductor product of another company using the characteristic value as a search condition. A second search step, and an inventory management server, wherein the counted number of characteristic values is equal to or greater than a predetermined value and When a conductor product exists in the product database, information to increase the number of replenishment orders is recorded in an inventory management database, and the number of times of the counted characteristic value is less than a predetermined value or 0, and the semiconductor of its own characteristic value An inventory management step for recording information in the inventory management database to suppress the number of replenishment orders when the product exists in the product database, and the inventory management server records information in the inventory management database for increasing the number of replenishment orders. The inventory management computer is notified to the inventory manager computer by e-mail, and the inventory management computer is notified to the inventory manager computer by e-mail when information to suppress the replenishment order number is recorded in the inventory management database. And the development management server determines that the counted number of characteristic values is equal to or greater than a predetermined value. When it is determined that a semiconductor product having the characteristic value is being developed based on the development management database, information to be increased in development priority is recorded in the development management database, and the number of counted characteristic values is less than a predetermined value. Or a development management step for recording in the development management database information to lower the development priority when it is determined that the semiconductor product having the characteristic value is being developed based on the development management database; When the information for increasing the development priority is recorded in the development management database, the fact is notified to the developer computer by e-mail, and when the information for decreasing the development priority is recorded in the development management database, the fact is electronically notified. A development management notification step for notifying the developer computer by e-mail, and a plan management server, When it is determined that the counted number of characteristic values is equal to or greater than a predetermined value and a semiconductor product having the characteristic value is being planned based on the planning and management database, information for raising the planning priority is recorded in the planning and management database. When the number of counted characteristic values is less than or equal to a predetermined value or 0 and it is determined that a semiconductor product having the characteristic value is being planned based on the planning management database, information that should lower the planning priority is sent to the planning management database. When the plan management step records in the plan management database and the plan management server records information to be raised in the plan management database, it notifies the planner computer by e-mail and lowers the plan priority.

Has been.

  The search server 103 and the aggregation server 105 have the same product database 201 (FIG. 7) and search log file 202 (FIG. 8). The product database 201 is a database of products that have been commercialized or are scheduled to be commercialized in the future, and stores a semiconductor product name 701, characteristics 702, display information 703, and a commercialization time 704 as shown in FIG. To do. As shown in FIG. 8, the search log file 202 stores a search date 801, a search time 802, a user name 803, a reference destination 804, a characteristic name 805, a characteristic value 806, and a search product 807.

  This embodiment is roughly divided into two processing flows. The first processing flow is a processing flow for acquiring a search condition when a user searches for a product (see FIG. 3). The second processing flow is a processing flow that analyzes the acquired search conditions and predicts the function requested by the user to adjust the progress of inventory status, development, and planning (see FIGS. 9 to 11). ).

  FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the processing of the user computer 101 and the search server 103, and FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the processing.

  First, in step S301, the search server 103 generates a semiconductor product search screen shown in FIG. 5 based on the product database 201 (FIG. 7). Details of the semiconductor product search screen will be described later.

  In step S <b> 302, the user accesses the Web site of the search server 103 using the user computer 101. The search server 103 displays the user authentication screen of FIG. 4 on the display of the user computer 101. The user registers a user name and password in the search server 103 in advance, inputs the user name 401 and password 402 with the keyboard on the user authentication screen, and clicks an OK button 403 with a mouse. A cancel button 404 can be used to cancel. The search server 103 authenticates the user name 401 and the password 402, and transmits the semiconductor product search screen 211 (FIG. 5) of FIG. 5 to the user computer 101 via the firewall 221 and displays it. Note that the display and input of the user authentication screen in FIG. 4 are not necessarily required.

  The user can input a search condition in the search condition input area 501 and search for a semiconductor product of a company (manufacturer) of the accessed search site. In the search condition input area 501, a characteristic value corresponding to the characteristic name can be input. The characteristics as search conditions are, for example, the number of bits, power supply voltage, memory type, ROM size, etc., and correspond to the characteristics 702 of the product database 201 in FIG. The user can transmit a search start instruction (including search conditions) to the search server 103 via the firewall 221 by clicking the search start button 502. By clicking the search condition clear button 503, the search condition in the search condition input area 501 can be cleared. When there are a plurality of search conditions, an AND or OR condition can be specified.

  Note that the display information 703 in the product database 201 in FIG. 7 is information to be displayed on the search screen 211 in FIG.

  Next, in step S303, the search server 103 searches for a semiconductor product from the product database 201 (FIG. 7) based on the search condition input in the search condition input area 501 of the semiconductor product search screen 211.

  In step S304, the search server 103 records a search condition log in the search log file 202 (FIG. 8). In the search log file 202, a search date 801, a search time 802, a user name 803, a reference destination 804, a characteristic name 805, a characteristic value 806, and a search product 807 are recorded as logs. The user name 803 is the user name 401 input on the screen of FIG. The reference destination 804 is a network domain to which the user belongs, and can be acquired by access from the user without input of the user authentication screen of FIG. For example, if the user belongs to the A company, the domain of the A company can be acquired and recorded as the reference destination 804. By recording the reference destination 804, the characteristic value required by the company A can be known. There are one or more combinations of search conditions for the characteristic name 805 and its characteristic value 806. When there are a plurality of search conditions, a combination of the search conditions is recorded. The search product 807 is a semiconductor product name that matches the search condition. Each time a search from a user is performed, a log history is accumulated.

  Next, in step S305, the search server 103 generates a screen for the search result searched above, and transmits the search result screen 212 (FIG. 6) to the user computer 101 via the firewall 222 for display. . As shown in FIG. 6, the display area 601 of the search result screen 212 displays the name of the semiconductor product that matches the search condition, its characteristic value, and the like. If there is no semiconductor product that matches the search conditions, this is displayed.

  Next, in step S306, the user can check the search result by looking at the search result screen 212 of FIG.

  9 to 11 are flowcharts showing processes performed by the aggregation server 105, the inventory management server 106, the development management server 107, the plan management server 108, and the like. The aggregation server 105 has a search log file 202 having the same contents as the search log file 202 recorded by the search server 103.

  First, in step S901, the aggregation server 105 copies the search log file 202 to the file A (941) at a predetermined aggregation date or every predetermined period, and prepares to acquire statistical information.

  Next, in step S902, the aggregation server 105 counts the number of searched users and the number of accesses in order to check the statistical information acquisition condition based on the file A (941). The statistical information acquisition condition is, for example, that at least 10 different users have accessed in the last week and the number of accesses exceeds 1000. The conditions for 10 or more companies can be examined based on the reference 804 in FIG. By satisfying the statistical information acquisition conditions, a reliable demand survey becomes possible.

  Next, in step S903, the aggregation server 105 checks whether or not the statistical information acquisition condition is satisfied. If not satisfied, the process returns to step S901, and if satisfied, the process proceeds to step S904.

  In step S904, the aggregation server 105 counts the appearance frequency of the search condition based on the file A (941). A search condition for a characteristic or a combination of characteristics whose appearance frequency is a certain value b1 or more is extracted and recorded in the table A (942).

  In step S905, the tabulation server 105 extracts a search condition for a characteristic or a combination of characteristics whose appearance frequency is less than b2 times based on the file A (941), and uses the table B (943). ).

  Next, in step S906, the aggregation server 105 acquires information on similar products searched from the competitor characteristics database 945 in order to check other companies' products having the same conditions as the search conditions in the table A (942). Is recorded in Table C (944). At this time, the same information as the product database 201 of FIG. 7 is acquired and recorded. The acquisition of similar product information means that the name of the characteristic name may be different for each company. In such a case, it is possible to search even if the name is different.

  Next, in step S907, the tabulation server 105 automatically acquires similar product information searched from a competitor's website (homepage) 109 (FIG. 1) via the Internet by specifying a characteristic search condition, It is additionally recorded as supplementary information in Table C (944). For example, information having the same contents as the product database 201 of FIG. 7 may be acquired, or the URL of the website may be acquired.

  Next, in step S908, the inventory management server 106 confirms from the product database 201 (FIG. 7) whether there is a product that matches the search condition of the table A (942), and manages the inventory status for the matching product. Confirm from the database 951 (FIG. 12).

  Next, in step S909, the inventory management server 106 checks whether the replenishment order quantity 1206 in the inventory management database 951 in FIG. 12 is equal to or greater than a certain value c1. If it is greater than or equal to a certain value c1, the process proceeds to step S911, and if it is less than the certain value c1, the process proceeds to step S910.

  In step S910, the inventory management server 106 adds the number of replenishment orders 1206 to the inventory management database 951. The number to be added is the number of users × a predetermined constant value. After that, the inventory management server 106 notifies the inventory manager computer 111 (FIG. 1) of the updated contents by an e-mail 950. The inventory manager can receive the e-mail 950, know the increase in the number of replenishment orders 1206, and can perform replenishment order processing. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S911.

  In step S911, the inventory management server 106 confirms from the product database 201 whether there is a product that matches the search condition of the table B (943) or does not exist in the search log file 202, and matches the product. The inventory status for the inventory management database 951 is confirmed.

  Next, in step S912, the inventory management server 106 checks whether or not the replenishment order quantity 1206 in the inventory management database 951 in FIG. 12 is equal to or less than a predetermined value c2. If it is less than or equal to the constant value c2, the process proceeds to step S914, and if greater than the certain value c2, the process proceeds to step S913.

  In step S <b> 913, the inventory management server 106 subtracts the replenishment order number 1206 from the inventory management database 951. The number to be subtracted is 1 / number of users × predetermined constant value. After that, the inventory management server 106 notifies the inventory manager computer 111 (FIG. 1) of the updated contents by an e-mail 950. The inventory manager can receive the e-mail 950, know the decrease in the number of replenishment orders 1206, and can suppress the replenishment orders. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S914.

  Next, in step S914, the development management server 107 checks if there is a search condition in the table A (942) that does not exist in the product database 201, and whether or not a match is being developed. The management database 952 (FIG. 13) is searched.

  Next, in step S915, the development management server 107 checks whether there is a matching development product. If there is a matching developed product, the process proceeds to step S916, and if not, the process proceeds to step S918.

  In step S916, the development management server 107 ranks up the development priority 1307 of the development management database 952 in FIG. 13 according to the number of searched users in order to increase the development priority of the product. The database 952 is updated. For example, if the number of users is 10, +1 is increased, and if the number of users is 20, +2 is increased. At the same time, information on competitor products acquired from Table C (944) is added. For example, the URL where the information of the competitor's product is posted is recorded in the URL 1308 of the development management database 952 of FIG.

  In step S917, the development management server 107 refers to the person in charge 1303 of the development product from the development management database 952, and indicates that the development priority 1307 has been updated for the developer computers 112 of all persons in charge. A notification is sent by email 950. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S918.

  In step S918, similarly, the development management server 107 is developing a product with a search condition that does not exist in the product database 201 among the search conditions of the table B (943), or is developing a product with a characteristic that has not been searched. In order to confirm whether or not, the development management database 952 is searched for a matching development product.

  Next, in step S919, the development management server 107 checks whether there is a matching development product. If there is a matching developed product, the process proceeds to step S920, and if not, the process proceeds to step S922.

  In step S920, the development management server 107 updates the development management database 952 by lowering the rank of the development priority 1307 according to the number of searched users in order to lower the development priority of the product. For example, if the number of users is 10 or more, it is -1 down, and if the number of users is less than 10, it is -2. At the same time, information on competitor products acquired from Table C (944) is added. For example, the URL where the information of the competitor's product is posted is recorded in the URL 1308 of the development management database 952 of FIG.

  Next, in step S921, the development management server 107 refers to the person in charge 1303 of the development product from the development management database 952, and the development priority 1307 is updated for the computers 112 (FIG. 1) of all persons in charge 1303. A notification to that effect is sent by e-mail 950. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S922.

  In step S922, if there is a search condition for a product that does not exist in the product database 201 and the development management database 952 among the search conditions in the table A (942), the planning management server 108 determines whether or not a matching one is being planned. In order to confirm, the plan management database 953 (FIG. 14) is searched.

  Next, in step S923, the plan management server 108 checks whether there is a matching plan product. If there is a matching planned product, the process proceeds to step S924, and if not, the process proceeds to step S926.

  In step S924, the plan management server 108 increases the rank of the plan priority 1407 in FIG. 14 according to the number of searched users and updates the plan management database 953 in order to increase the plan priority of the product. . For example, if the number of users is 10, +1 is increased, and if the number of users is 20, +2 is increased. At the same time, information on competitor products acquired from Table C (944) is added. For example, the URL where the information of the competitor's product is posted is recorded in the URL 1408 of the plan management database 953 in FIG.

  In step S925, the plan management server 108 refers to the plan product person in charge 1403 from the plan management database 953, and the plan priority 1407 is updated for the computers 113 (FIG. 1) of all the person in charge 1403. A notification to that effect is sent by e-mail 950. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S928.

  In step S926, the plan management server 108 newly adds the plan to the plan management database 953 in order to promote the plan of the product having the search condition. At the same time, information on competitor products is added from Table C (944). For example, the URL where the information of the competitor's product is posted is recorded in the URL 1408 of the plan management database 953 in FIG.

  Next, in step S927, the plan management server 108 transmits a notification that a new plan has been added to the computer 113 (FIG. 1) of the person in charge of accepting a new plan by e-mail 950. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S928.

  In step S928, similarly, the planning management server 108 is planning a product with a search condition that does not exist in the product database 201 and the development management database 201 among the search conditions in the table B (943), or has not been searched. In order to confirm whether or not the product is being planned, the plan management database 953 is searched for a matching planned product.

  Next, in step S929, the plan management server 108 checks whether there is a matching plan product. If there is a matching planned product, the process proceeds to step S930, and if not, the process ends.

  In step S930, the plan management server 108 lowers the rank of the plan priority 1407 in FIG. 14 according to the number of searched users in order to lower the plan priority of the product. For example, if the number of users is 10 or more, it is -1 down, and if the number of users is less than 10, it is -2. At the same time, information on competitor products acquired from Table C (944) is added. For example, the URL where the information of the competitor's product is posted is recorded in the URL 1408 of the plan management database 953 in FIG.

  Next, in step S931, the plan management server 108 refers to the plan product person in charge 1403 from the plan management database 953, and the plan priority 1407 is updated for the computers 113 (FIG. 1) of all the person in charge 1403. A notification to that effect is sent by e-mail 950.
