Here, the operation of the system shown in FIG. 1 having the above-described configuration will be explained.
5 to 7 are flowcharts for explaining an example of processing in the system shown in FIG. 1.

First, the operator device 4 sets a new project in the information processing device 1 (ST100). For example, the operator device 4 inputs project management information as shown in FIG. 2B and transmits it to the information processing device 1. At this time, the operator device 4 does not input information whose contents have not yet been determined in the project management information (project recruitment period, credit ID, transaction information, sales amount information, etc.) and does not need to include it in the project management information. The information processing device 1 registers the project management information received from the operator device 4 in the project management DB 22 (ST105).

The operator device 4 transmits an instruction to the information processing device 1 to start recruiting fields for the project registered in the project management DB 22 (ST110). When the information processing device 1 receives an instruction to start recruiting for one project from the operator device 4, it registers status information indicating that the one project is in the recruiting state in the project management information of the one project. (ST115). The information processing device 1 also publishes a recruitment guide for soliciting field participation for the one project (ST115), and displays the recruitment guide on the related party device 3 that has accessed the information processing device 1 (ST120).

The stakeholder device 3 inputs the field information (FIG. 2C) necessary to obtain the expected amount of revenue (first estimated amount) for one field by the operation of the stakeholder who viewed the project recruitment information. , is transmitted to the information processing device 1 (ST125).

For example, the related person device 3 displays a map on the screen of the display unit 35, and the user (related person) performs a predetermined operation for specifying the range of the field on the map (specifying the vertices of a polygon that forms the boundary of the farm field). operations, tracing field boundaries, etc.). The related party device 3 specifies the range on the map specified by the user in response to this predetermined operation, and inputs geographical range information corresponding to the specified range on the map.

Additionally, the stakeholder device 3 may input field information (crop type information, planting interval information, harvest frequency information, etc.) using a means (such as a chatbot) that inputs information in the form of text or voice interaction.

When the information processing device 1 receives the field information of one field transmitted from the related party device 3, it registers the field management information including the received field information in the field management DB 23 (ST130). The processing of the information processing device 1 when field information is received will be described later with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 8.

Based on the field information (FIG. 2C) received for one field, the information processing device 1 calculates an estimated value (first estimated value) of the amount of greenhouse gases absorbed within a predetermined period by the crops in the one field. ) is obtained (ST135).

For example, the information processing device 1 acquires cultivation environment information related to at least one of the temperature, rainfall amount, and sunshine hours in a region where the field is located, based on the geographical range information included in the field information. In this case, the information processing device 1 may acquire the cultivation environment information based on information such as the temperature, rainfall amount, and sunshine hours of each region stored in the business server 5. The information processing device 1 stores the area of the field indicated by the geographical range information included in the received field information, the acquired cultivation environment information, and the crop type information, planting interval information, and harvest frequency information included in the received field information. A first estimate of greenhouse gas absorption is obtained based on at least one of the methods.

The information processing device 1 may use a learned model learned by a predetermined machine learning algorithm in order to obtain the first estimated value of the amount of greenhouse gas absorption in the field. In this case, the first storage unit 12 stores information for estimating the amount of greenhouse gas absorbed by the field from the area of the field, cultivation environment information, and at least one of crop type information, planting interval information, and harvest frequency information. The generated trained model is stored. The information processing device 1 stores the area of the field indicated by the geographical range information included in the received field information, the acquired cultivation environment information, and the crop type information, planting interval information, and harvest frequency information included in the received field information. A first estimate of the amount of absorption is obtained by applying at least one to the learned model.

Any machine learning algorithm may be used to generate the trained model, and known algorithms such as linear regression, logistic regression, support vector machine, decision tree, random forest, gradient boosting, and neural network may be used.

Note that the information processing device 1 uses a means other than the above-mentioned trained model (an approximation function that converts a given input variable into a first estimated value) as a means for obtaining the first estimated value of the amount of greenhouse gas absorption in the field. (or theoretical formulas, etc.) may also be used.

Next, the information processing device 1 uses the first estimate of the amount of absorption obtained for the first field, the estimated amount of greenhouse gas absorption within a predetermined period in the project (Fig. 2B), and the amount of carbon corresponding to the estimated amount of absorption. Based on the estimated sales amount of the credits, the estimated amount of revenue (first estimated amount) to be distributed to the one field when the carbon credits are sold is obtained (ST140). The expected sales amount of carbon credits corresponding to the expected absorption amount is set based on, for example, the average sales amount per unit absorption amount in the carbon credit market and the range of price fluctuations in the recent market. Good too.

For example, the information processing device 1 calculates the amount obtained by subtracting predetermined expenses (costs paid to the authentication agency 6, etc.) from the expected sales amount, and calculates the ratio of the first estimated value to the expected absorption amount and the total The first estimated amount is calculated so that the ratio of the first estimated amount to the revenue of is equal to the ratio of the first estimated amount to the revenue.

The information processing device 1 generates display information including the first estimated value of the absorption amount obtained for the one field in step ST135 and the first estimated amount of revenue obtained for the one field in step ST140, It is transmitted to the related party device 3 of the one field. In accordance with the received display information, the related person device 3 displays on the display unit 35 the first estimated value of the absorption amount in the one field and the first estimated amount of revenue to be allocated for the one field ( ST145).

In this way, in this embodiment, the first estimate of the amount of greenhouse gas absorbed and the amount of revenue to be distributed from the sale of carbon credits are provided to the parties involved in the field who are considering participating in the project. The first estimated amount is displayed. This will make it easier for those involved to decide to participate in the project, as they will be able to obtain specific information about the carbon credits that will be created by participating in the project and the profits that will be distributed when they are sold. Therefore, even small-scale farms can effectively support the creation of carbon credits that are easy to earn a profit when sold.

When the application screen is selected by the person concerned in the field who has decided to apply for the project and the instruction is sent to the information processing device 1 (ST150), the information processing device 1 performs a predetermined process. Display information for displaying an application screen including consent items is generated and transmitted to the related party device 3 (ST155). The related party device 3 displays an application screen including predetermined consent items on the display unit 35 in accordance with the display information received from the information processing device 1. These predetermined consent items are items that must be agreed to by those involved in the field in order to participate in the project. (e.g., to measure data) and consent to confidentiality.

The related party device 3 inputs and inputs application information for applying for one field to participate in one project by a user (related party) operation on an application screen that includes predetermined consent items. The submitted application information is transmitted to the information processing device 1 (ST165). Application information includes, for example, the field ID of the field for which you are applying for participation in the project, information on documents proving ownership or management of the field (information on documents related to real estate registration, land ownership or land lease rights) (including information on deeds proving the rights).

The information processing device 1 receives project application information from the related party device 3 that has displayed an application screen that includes predetermined consent items (ST170). This makes it clear that the parties involved have agreed to the specified terms and conditions when applying for the project, so it is possible to omit procedures to confirm agreement to the terms and conditions (such as exchanging contract documents). can.

When the information processing device 1 receives application information requesting that one field participate in one project, the information processing device 1 performs processing to check the participation status of the one field in other projects. If it is determined in this confirmation process that the one field can participate in the one project, the information processing device 1 transfers participating project information indicating that the one field will participate in the one project to the field management information. (Figure 2C). The processing of this information processing device 1 will be explained later with reference to flowcharts shown in FIGS. 9 and 10.

When participating project information indicating that one field participates in one project is registered in the field management information (FIG. 2C), the information processing device 1 transmits the application information received from the related party device 3 to the operator device 4. Display it (ST175). The project operator checks the application information displayed on the operator device 4 and determines whether to approve the application for participation in the project related to the application information. In other words, the operator confirms the information on the document that proves that the manager related to the application information is the owner or manager of the field, and if the operator determines that this document is legitimate, the project manager related to the application information Approve your request to participate. When approving a field to participate in a project, the operator device 4 determines whether approval for participation has been obtained by the operator for participating project information included in the field management information of the field. Register approval status information indicating that.

The information processing device 1 calculates the total area of multiple fields participating in the project and/or the total absorption of greenhouse gases absorbed within a predetermined period by the crops of multiple fields participating in the project, regarding the project being recruited. An estimated value of the amount is obtained (ST200).

For example, the information processing device 1 stores participating project information in which participation project information indicating participation in a project currently recruiting, and approval status information indicating that approval for participation has been obtained from the operator, is registered. The field management information (FIG. 2C) including the field management information is extracted in the field management DB 23. The information processing device 1 calculates the area of each field based on the geographical range information included in the field information of the extracted field management information of each field, and calculates the total area by adding up the calculated areas of each field. calculate. In addition, the information processing device 1 obtains the first estimated value of the absorption amount of each field by a method similar to step ST135 based on the field information of the field management information extracted in the same way, and The estimated total absorption amount is calculated by adding up the estimated values.

The information processing device 1 determines whether the project activation conditions are satisfied based on at least one of the total area of the field and the estimated total amount of greenhouse gas absorption obtained in step ST200 (ST205). For example, the information processing device 1 may determine that the conditions for starting a project are met when the total area of the field has reached a predetermined target value (for example, 10,000 hectares), or the information processing device 1 may determine that the conditions for starting the project are met when the total area of the field has reached a predetermined target value (for example, 10,000 hectares), or the information processing device It may be determined that the project activation conditions are satisfied when the estimated value of has reached the expected absorption amount (FIG. 2B). Alternatively, the information processing device 1 determines that the project activation conditions are met when the total area of the field reaches a predetermined target value and the estimated total amount of greenhouse gas absorption reaches the expected amount of absorption. You may. The information processing device 1 displays the determination result of step ST205 on the operator device 4 (ST210).

In this way, by using the total area of the farmland and the total amount of greenhouse gas absorption as a guideline for project implementation conditions, it is possible to ensure that the amount of greenhouse gas absorption that is certified as a carbon credit is a certain amount. This makes it possible to sell carbon credits to a certain amount. Therefore, even small-scale farms can effectively support the creation of carbon credits that are easy to earn a profit when sold.

Note that the information processing device 1 may display the determination result of step ST205 on the related party device 3. This makes it easier for those involved in the field to grasp the progress status of the project they have applied for participation in.

When a related party inputs an instruction to start work for obtaining carbon credit certification for one project registered in the project management DB 22 (project activation instruction), the operator device 4 operates the information processing device. 1 (ST215). When the information processing device 1 receives an instruction to start a project from the operator device 4, it registers status information indicating that the project is in progress in the project management information of the project ( ST220). Furthermore, the information processing device 1 causes the related party device 3 to display a notice indicating that the field recruitment for the one project has ended (ST235).

When the project is launched, the operator provides field information for each field participating in the project to the certification agency 6 and requests the certification agency 7 to apply for carbon credit certification. Upon receiving the request, the certification agency 6 measures the data necessary for applying for carbon credits for each field participating in the project (such as measuring the geographical range using a satellite).

The certification agency 6 measures the data necessary for applying for carbon credits, and based on the measurement results, the certification agency 6 estimates the amount of greenhouse gas absorption in each field (second estimate). Once calculated, those data are uploaded to the operator server 5. For example, the operator device 4 accesses the operator server 5, obtains from the operator server 5 the second estimated value of the absorption amount of each field by the authentication agent 6, and transfers the obtained data to the information processing device. 1 (ST230). Alternatively, the information processing device 1 may directly access the business server 5 and obtain the second estimated value of the absorption amount of each field by the authentication agency 6.

Upon receiving the second estimated value of the absorption amount of each field from the operator device 4 (or the operator server 5), the information processing device 1 calculates the carbon The estimated amount of revenue (second estimated amount) to be distributed to each field when the credits are sold is obtained (ST235). For example, the information processing device 1 calculates the estimated value of the total amount of greenhouse gas absorption in all the fields of the project by adding up the second estimated value of the amount of absorption in each field, and calculates the estimated value of the total amount of greenhouse gas absorption in all the fields of the project, and calculates the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed from the estimated value of the total amount of absorption.・Calculate the expected sales amount of credits. This expected sales amount can be calculated based on, for example, the average sales amount per unit absorption amount in the carbon credit market, the range of price fluctuations in the most recent market, and the like. The information processing device 1 calculates the amount obtained by subtracting predetermined expenses (costs paid to the authentication agency 6, etc.) from the expected sales amount as the overall profit, and calculates the amount as the ratio of the second estimated value to the estimated total absorption amount. , the second estimated amount is calculated so that the ratio of the second estimated amount to the overall revenue is equal.

When the information processing device 1 acquires the second estimated value of absorption amount and the second estimated amount of revenue for each field, the information processing device 1 transmits the second estimated value and second estimated amount of each field to the stakeholder device 3 of each field. Display it (ST240, ST245).

For example, before applying for carbon credit certification to the certification body 7 based on the measurement results of each field by the certification agency 6, the information processing device 1 may communicate with the parties involved in the field and the project operator. Display information for a contract screen containing contract matters to be exchanged is generated (ST240), and this is displayed on the related party device 3 (ST245). The information processing device 1 may display the second estimated value of the absorption amount and the second estimated amount of revenue on this contract screen.

The contract screen includes, for example, matters regarding ownership of carbon credits and matters regarding distribution of profits obtained from the sale of carbon credits as contract matters. In this agreement, ownership of carbon credits is transferred to, for example, the project operator. In addition, profits obtained from the sale of carbon credits are divided into amounts proportional to the amount of greenhouse gas absorbed by each field, for example, and distributed to each field.

The related party device 3 inputs contract information indicating that the related party has agreed to the contract terms on the displayed contract screen, and transmits it to the information processing device 1 (ST250). For example, the related party device 3 generates the digital signature of the related party for the contract data provided from the information processing device 1, and uses the contract data to which the generated digital signature and digital certificate are attached as contract information. The information is transmitted to the information processing device 1. The information processing device 1 stores the contract information received from the related party device 3 in the storage device 2 . The information processing device 1 also searches the field management DB 23 for field management information (FIG. 2C) of one field related to the received contract information, and the contract status information included in the participating project information of this field management information indicates that the contract has been completed. Update as shown (ST255).

The operator device 4 inquires the information processing device 1 about the contract conclusion status of each field for the project for which contract information is being input (ST260). The information processing device 1 extracts the field management information including the project ID of the inquired project from the field management DB 23, and based on the contract status information included in the participating project information of the extracted field management information, The existence of a contract is confirmed (ST205). The information processing device 1 displays, for example, a list of the presence or absence of contracts for each field on the operator device 4 (ST270). The operator can pick up the parties involved in the field with whom no contract has been concluded in this list and send a message (email, etc.) urging them to conclude a contract. When the predetermined contract implementation period has elapsed, the operator selects only the contracted farms as official farms for the project and instructs the certification agency 6 to apply for certification to the certification body 7 for the selected farms. give.

In this way, in this embodiment, there is no need to exchange documents to exchange contract matters with each field participating in the project before applying for certification to the certification body 7. It is only necessary to transmit the contract information from the information processing device 1 to the information processing device 1. Therefore, the workload for obtaining carbon credit certification can be effectively reduced. In addition, the second estimated value of the absorption capacity of the field and the second estimated amount of revenue are displayed on the related party device 3, so that the related parties who are deciding whether to conclude a contract will be provided with specific information that will be helpful in making a decision. can be provided.

When the carbon credit is authenticated by the certification body 7 and the carbon credit information is registered in the credit registration server 8, the operator device 4 acquires the carbon credit information registered in the credit registration server 8, The acquired carbon credit information is transmitted to the information processing device 1 (ST300). Alternatively, the information processing device 1 may directly access the credit registration server 8 to obtain information on authenticated carbon credits.

When the information processing device 1 receives carbon credit information from the operator device 4 (or credit registration server 8), it generates credit management information (FIG. 3B) based on the received carbon credit information and performs credit management. It is registered in the DB 25 (ST305).

The information processing device 1 also acquires information regarding the greenhouse gas absorption amount (individual absorption amount) of each field from the operator device 4 as information on the certified carbon credits. For example, the individual absorption capacity of each field may be obtained from the operator device 4 (or the credit registration server 8) by registering it in the credit registration server 8, or the amount registered in the credit registration server 8 may be obtained from the operator device 4 (or the credit registration server 8), or the absorption amount by the operator Those registered in the server 5 may be acquired from the operator device 4 (or the operator server 5). The information processing device 1 registers the acquired information on the individual absorption amount of each field in the revenue distribution management information (FIG. 3C) of the revenue distribution management DB 26 (ST305).

When the information processing device 1 acquires information on certified carbon credits for one project, the information processing device 1 converts the status information included in the project management information (FIG. 2B) of the one project into information indicating that carbon credits have been certified. Update to show. The information processing device 1 also registers the credit ID (FIG. 3B) of the carbon credit in this project management information.

The information processing device 1 generates display information for a screen that notifies the information of the authenticated carbon credits (ST310), and displays it on the related party device 3 (ST315). The person concerned device 3 of the one field displays the individual absorption amount of the one field on this screen. As a result, those involved in one field can easily grasp the individual absorption amount of the one field that is directly related to them in the project.

Certified carbon credits are sold, for example, on the credit market or to individual businesses. The operator device 4 transmits the carbon credit transaction status (sales progress, sales history, etc.) input by the operator to the information processing device 1 as transaction information (ST320), and the information processing device 1 receives the information. The transaction information is registered in the project management information (FIG. 2B) (ST325). Based on this transaction information, the information processing device 1 generates display information for a screen that notifies the status of the carbon credit transaction (ST330), and displays it on the related party device 3 (ST335). The stakeholder device 3 of the first farm displays, on this screen, the carbon credit transaction status of the project in which the first farm participates. This allows those involved in the first farm to easily grasp the status of carbon credit transactions related to the projects in which they participate.

When some or all of the carbon credits are sold, the operator device 4 transmits information regarding the sales amount of carbon credits input by the operator (sales amount information) to the information processing device 1 (ST340). . The sale amount information includes, for example, the amount of absorbed greenhouse gas that is sold out of the amount of absorbed greenhouse gas indicated by the carbon credit, and the amount of the sale. When the information processing device 1 receives the sales amount information from the operator device 4, it calculates the revenue to be distributed to each field based on this sales amount information and the individual absorption amount of each field (ST345).

For example, the information processing device 1 searches the credit management DB 25 for credit management information (FIG. 3B) of carbon credits indicated by the sales amount information, and searches the sales amount information for the sold absorption amount registered in the credit management information. Add the absorption amount of the sale shown by . In addition, the information processing device 1 searches the project management DB 22 for project management information (FIG. 2B) related to carbon credits indicated by the sales amount information, and searches for the project management information (FIG. 2B) related to carbon credits indicated by the sales amount information, and searches Add the sale amount.

The information processing device 1 extracts revenue distribution management information (FIG. 3C) related to one project indicated by the sales amount information in the revenue distribution management DB 26, and extracts the individual absorption amount of each field included in the extracted revenue distribution management information, The amount of revenue (allocation amount) to be distributed to each field is calculated based on the sales amount of the project management information (FIG. 2B) updated according to the sales amount information.

For example, when calculating the allocation amount for one field in one project indicated by sales amount information, the information processing device 1 calculates a predetermined expense (certification (such as expenses paid to the agent 6), the total profit obtained from the sale is calculated. In addition, the information processing device 1 acquires the absorption amount before sale of the credit management information (FIG. 3B) related to the one project, and the revenue distribution management information (FIG. 3C) related to the one project and the one field. Obtain the individual absorption amount. Then, the information processing device 1 calculates the allocation amount for the one field so that the ratio of the individual absorption amount to the absorption amount before sale is equal to the allocation amount to the overall revenue. The information processing device 1 adds this calculated allocation amount to the allocation amount registered in the revenue distribution management information (FIG. 3C) regarding the one project and the one field. As a result, the distribution amount registered in the revenue distribution management information will be the amount obtained by adding up the revenue distributed to one field according to the sale amount each time a part of the carbon credits is sold.

The information processing device 1 displays the revenue distribution amount calculated for one field on the related party device 3 of the one field (ST355, ST360). That is, the information processing device 1 displays the amount of revenue distribution on the stakeholder device 3 of each field. The information processing device 1 also performs a process of paying the calculated revenue distribution amount of each field to the parties concerned of each field (ST365). For example, the information processing device 1 processes the payment of the allocated amount using any remittance means such as bank transfer. As a result, the parties involved in each field participating in the project will be able to receive a share of the profits obtained from the sale of carbon credits.
When the information processing device 1 pays revenue (allocation amount) to one field in one project, the information processing device 1 updates the payment status in the revenue distribution management information (Figure 3C) related to the one project and the one field. do. For example, in the payment status of the revenue distribution management information (FIG. 3C), the total amount of revenue paid so far (payment amount) is registered. When the information processing device 1 performs the payment process in step ST365, the information processing device 1 adds the revenue (distribution amount) paid through the payment process to the payment amount (payment status) registered in the revenue distribution management information. As a result, the payment amount (payment status) registered in the revenue distribution management information will be the sum of the paid revenue (distribution amount) each time the revenue (distribution amount) from the sale of carbon credits is paid. Become.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the processing of the information processing device 1 when field information is received in step ST130 (FIG. 5).

When the information processing device 1 receives the field information from the stakeholder device 3 of the first field (ST400), the information processing device 1 determines whether the information processing device 1 includes geographical range information that overlaps the geographical range information of the received field information. The farm management information (FIG. 2C) is searched for in the farm field management DB 23 (ST405). As a result of the search, if the same registered field with the same geographical range and the same stakeholder ID is found (Yes in ST410), the information processing device 1 determines that a registered field already exists. The related party device 3 is notified of this, and the registration of the new field is canceled (ST415).

As a result of the search in step ST405, if no other overlapping field is found (No in ST420), the information processing device 1 stores new field management information including the field information received in step ST400 in the field management DB 23. Register (ST425).

On the other hand, if another overlapping field is found (Yes in ST420), the information processing device 1 determines that the one field related to the received field information and the other field found by the search have an overlapping relationship. The overlapping relationship information (FIG. 3A) indicating the above is registered in the overlapping relationship DB 24 (ST430). If the field management information of the other field includes an overlapping relationship ID, the information processing device 1 adds the field ID of the one field to the overlapping relationship information of this overlapping relationship ID. If the field management information of the other field does not include an overlapping relationship ID, the information processing device 1 generates the overlapping relationship information (Fig. 3A) is newly generated and registered in the duplication relationship DB 24. In this case, the information processing device 1 registers the overlap relationship ID of the newly generated overlap relationship information in the field management information of the other field (ST435). The information processing device 1 then generates new field management information for the one field, and registers it in the field management DB 23 (ST440). At this time, if the field management information of the other field includes an overlapping relationship ID, the information processing device 1 registers the overlapping relationship ID in the field management information of the one field, and If the management information does not include an overlapping relationship ID, the overlapping relationship ID of the newly generated overlapping relationship information is registered in the field management information of the one field.

In this way, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to understand a group of fields that are not identical but have overlapping geographical ranges based on the field information provided by the parties concerned. Therefore, the parties concerned can register a plurality of fields with different geographical ranges from among the fields that they own (or manage) for participation in the project. Furthermore, even if a person involved mistakenly registers another person's field, it is possible to accurately understand the situation.

FIGS. 9 and 10 are flowcharts for explaining an example of the processing of the information processing device 1 when application information is received in step ST170 (FIG. 5).

When the information processing device 1 receives application information requesting that a field participate in a project from the related party device 3 (ST500), the field management information (FIG. 2C) of the field is included in the participating project. It is determined whether the information is included (that is, whether the project has participated in another project) (ST505). If participating project information is not included (No in ST505), the information processing device 1 moves to step ST530, which will be described later.

If the field management information of one field related to the application information includes participating project information (Yes in ST505), the information processing device 1 stores the project management information (FIG. 2B) of the project corresponding to this participating project information in the credit management DB 25. Search in. Then, the information processing device 1 determines whether the status information included in this project management information indicates a recruiting status or an activated status (ST510). If the status information indicates that recruitment is in progress or in effect (ST510: Yes), the information processing device 1 sends a notification that the application to the project based on the received application information is not accepted to the person concerned in the field concerned. It is transmitted to device 3 (ST515). This makes it possible to prevent one field from participating in multiple projects that are currently recruiting or in operation.

If the status information included in the project management information of the one project indicated by the participating project information does not indicate the recruiting status or the active status (No in ST510), the information processing device 1 The validity period of the carbon credit is confirmed in the credit management information (FIG. 3B) (ST520). If the validity period of the carbon credit has already ended (No in ST520), the information processing device 1 moves to step ST530, which will be described later.

If the validity period of the carbon credit related to the project in the participating project information has not yet ended (Yes in ST520), the information processing device 1 calculates the validity period of this carbon credit and the expected credit period ( 2B) overlaps with each other (ST525). If the validity period of the carbon credit does not overlap with the assumed credit period (No in ST525), the information processing device 1 moves to step ST530, which will be described later. If the validity period of the carbon credit overlaps with the assumed credit period (Yes in ST525), the information processing device 1 sends a notification to the related party device 3 that the application for the project based on the received application information is not accepted. (ST515). This can prevent one field from participating in multiple projects with overlapping credit validity periods.

When proceeding to step ST530, the information processing device 1 determines whether the field management information of one field related to the received application information includes an overlapping relationship ID (there is another field whose geographical range overlaps with the one field). ). If the field management information of the one field does not include an overlapping relationship ID (No in ST530), the information processing device 1 sends participating project information indicating that the one field participates in the project related to the application information to the one concerned. is registered in the field management information of the field (ST535).

If it is determined in step ST530 that the field management information of one field related to the application information includes an overlapping relationship ID (Yes in ST530), the information processing device 1 controls the field management information of the one field related to the application information to include the overlapping relationship ID. It is determined whether the field management information (FIG. 2C) of the field includes participation project information (that is, whether the field has participated in another project) (ST605). If participating project information is not included (No in ST605), the information processing apparatus 1 moves to step ST635, which will be described later.

If the field management information of another field identified by the overlap relationship information includes the participating project information (No in ST605), the information processing device 1 stores the project management information (FIG. 2B) of the project corresponding to this participating project information. Search in the credit management DB 25. Then, the information processing device 1 determines whether the status information included in this project management information indicates a recruiting status or an activated status (ST610). If the status information indicates that recruitment is in progress or in effect (ST610: Yes), the information processing device 1 sends a notification that the application to the project based on the received application information is not accepted to the person concerned in the field concerned. It is transmitted to device 3 (ST515). This can prevent a group of fields with overlapping geographical ranges from participating in multiple projects that are in recruiting or active status.

If the status information included in the project management information of the one project indicated by the participating project information does not indicate the recruiting status or the active status (No in ST610), the information processing device 1 The validity period of the carbon credit is confirmed in the credit management information (FIG. 3B) (ST620). If the validity period of the carbon credit has already ended (No in ST620), the information processing device 1 moves to step ST635, which will be described later.

If the validity period of the carbon credit related to the project in the participating project information has not yet ended (Yes in ST620), the information processing device 1 calculates the validity period of this carbon credit and the expected credit period ( 2B) overlaps with each other (ST625). If the validity period of the carbon credit does not overlap with the assumed credit period (No in ST625), the information processing device 1 moves to step ST635, which will be described later. If the validity period of the carbon credit overlaps with the assumed credit period (Yes in ST625), the information processing device 1 sends a notification to the related party device 3 that the application for the project based on the received application information is not accepted. (ST615). This can prevent a group of fields with overlapping geographical ranges from participating in multiple projects with overlapping credit validity periods.

When the information processing device 1 moves to step ST635, it registers participating project information indicating that one of the fields related to the received application information participates in a project related to the application information in the field management information of the one farm.
