Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an idea investment apparatus for issuing securities for guaranteeing a right to receive a predetermined dividend from an investment profit of an idea and selling the securities to investors, an idea management apparatus using the same, and a method thereof. The present invention relates to, for example, an idea investment apparatus using a network such as the Internet, an idea operation apparatus using the same, and a method thereof.

2. Description of the Related Art In a company that produces a large amount of ideas and obtains rights, it is often the case that a patent office prepares documents such as specifications and drawings required for the rights. On the other hand, an individual inventor with poor financial power often creates documents such as a specification by himself because the cost of preparing documents to request from a patent office or the like is high. However, the preparation of a specification for the purpose of right entitlement requires specialized knowledge, and the specification prepared by an individual inventor without such knowledge includes a statement that is disadvantageous for the right. Often. As a result, there is a case where the right is failed while devising a good idea.

[0003] Accordingly, if there is a system for recruiting investors who provide such inventors with poor financial power for preparation of documents such as specifications and drawings necessary for entitlement, there is a need for such investors. It is possible to request professionals to prepare documents based on the funds provided, which can increase the rate of successful entitlement, but such a mechanism does not exist at present.

[0004]

Therefore, in order to obtain funds to license an idea, conventionally, the inventor has to search for an investor himself and persuade him to provide funds. For example, a method of opening an inventor's personal homepage on the Internet and recruiting investors can be considered.Currently, a huge amount of information is disclosed on the Internet, and the number is increasing year by year. Therefore, the probability that investors will search and access their homepage from such information is far from high.

[0005] Even if a person who has a willingness to invest accesses an inventor's personal homepage and touches information for investor recruitment, there is an extremely large number of homepages opened by the individual. House trust is low and it is likely that funding will not be provided.

[0006] Conversely, from an investor's point of view, prior investment in a good idea is an attractive investment because it is possible to obtain a large profit with a small investment amount. It is difficult to find an inventor who has an idea before the idea becomes available. For example, searching for the inventor by searching the Internet would require the investor to do a tedious search, and even if he could do so, gather enough information to decide to invest. In order to do so, they must contact the inventor and negotiate. In other words, there is a problem that an efficient investment cannot be made because an investor is required to perform complicated work to collect information on an idea to be invested.

[0007] As described above, while devising a good idea with great effort, abandoning the right to the idea due to lack of funding, or applying for a specification prepared by a person without specialized knowledge In many cases, the right of the idea fails to be obtained, which makes it difficult for the general public to gain profit from the idea invented by themselves. Also, if the idea that “creating an idea does not make a profit” becomes established in the world, people who have the potential to produce ideas will be moved away from creative activities, leading to technological advances and industrial progress. There is a problem that the development of is hindered.

Further, when the inventor recruits investors who are interested in investing in an idea in an open place such as the Internet, information on the idea before the right is disclosed to unspecified investors. If this is done, the idea becomes publicly known, and there is a problem that the idea cannot be licensed as a patent, for example. Also, even if it is not disclosed to unspecified investors, if the identity of a person who can view the idea information is not investigated, it is impossible to counter the plagiarism of the idea if it has not been investigated. is there.

[0009] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to make it possible to efficiently collect funds for managing ideas by using funds provided by investors, and to provide a method for investing ideas.

The idea examination unit 17 receives an idea examination request from the idea management unit 13 in an idea registration process described later, and inputs information about the idea transmitted from the idea holder's terminal device 2b to the input / output unit 11. Based on information of a document relating to a known idea recorded in the document database DB18, it is determined whether the idea satisfies predetermined registration requirements. If appropriate information is not found in the document database DB18, for example, another database (not shown) connected to the network 40 may be accessed to search for information on a known idea. Reference database 18
Is a database that stores information on documents related to known ideas, and inputs or outputs these data in response to a request from the idea examination unit 17.

Next, the operation of each process of the idea investment system 100 having the above-described configuration will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 is a first flowchart for explaining the member registration process.

Step ST130: A member registration request is transmitted from the terminal device 2a of the investor who wishes to register as a member or the terminal device 2b of the idea holder, and is received by the input / output unit 11 via the network 40, and is transmitted to the member management unit. 12 is input. Thereby, the member registration process is started.

Step ST131: In the member management section 12, question data for checking the identity of the member registration request source is generated and transmitted to the member registration request source terminal device. At this time, a question as to whether or not to agree with a predetermined confidentiality agreement for an idea to be disclosed to the member in a stock selection process to be described later may be added to the question data. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the idea before the right is made public by the information of the idea being disclosed to the member by the stock offering unit 14, and to counter a violation such as plagiarism of the idea by the member.

Also, instead of having all members agree on a confidentiality agreement as described above, an investor member who can browse information on ideas but cannot register ideas, and an idea member who can register ideas but cannot browse information on ideas of others. The registered members may be registered separately with the idea registration member, and only the person who requests registration as an investor member may be allowed to agree with the above confidentiality agreement. That is, a question as to which of the investor member and the idea registered member is to be selected, and a question regarding the agreement of the investor member applicant with the confidentiality agreement are added to the question data. As a result, a person who has expressed an intention to register an idea can restrict the act of viewing another person's idea before the right is granted, so that unnecessary disputes such as plagiarism of the idea can be reduced.

Step ST132: The question data is received by the terminal device of the member registration request source, and the question is displayed at the member registration request source. The answer to the question input by the member registration request source to the terminal device according to the display is sent to the network 40.
Is received by the input / output unit 11 of the idea investment device 1 via the Internet and is input to the member management unit 12.

Step ST133: Based on the information on the identity of the member registration request source included in the input answer,
An identification check request is output from the member management unit 12 to the identification check unit 17. Upon receiving the request for the identity check, the identity check unit 17 searches the identity information stored in the identity database DB 17 for information on the identity of the member registration request source. If the corresponding information is not included in the identity database DB17, for example, another database (not shown) connected to the network 40 is accessed.
Identity information may be searched. The identity information obtained as a result of the search is output to the member management unit 12.

Step ST134: It is determined whether to permit the member registration request based on the retrieved identity information of the member registration request source. For example, if the identity of the requester for membership registration is unknown, if the age of the member has not reached the specified age, or if there is a large debt, the request for membership registration is rejected if the specified membership registration requirements are not met. You. If it is determined that the member registration request is permitted, the process proceeds to step ST136.
The process is shifted to step ST135 if the permission is determined. Step ST135: A message notifying the member registration request source terminal device that the member registration request is determined to be not permitted is generated in the member management unit 12, and the message is transmitted to the member registration request source terminal device and logged in. The process ends.

Step ST136: A member number uniquely determined for one member and a password permitting access of the member are issued in the member management unit 12, and the member number is transmitted to the terminal device requesting the member registration. You will be notified of your password. Step ST137: Member registration request source is step ST137
132 together with the issued member number and password based on the information answered in 132
Registered as a member at

Next, another example of the member registration process will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 3 is a second flowchart for explaining the member registration process. FIG.
The difference between the member registration process shown in FIG. 3 and the member registration process shown in FIG. 2 is that the member is identified and registered by the member number issued by the member management unit 12 in the process shown in FIG. A member is identified and registered by identification data generated by a biometrics device such as a fingerprint reader or an iris pattern reader provided.

Step ST130 ': A member registration request is transmitted from the terminal device 2a of the investor who wishes to register as a member or the terminal device 2b of the idea holder, and the network 40
Is received by the input / output unit 11 via the. Thereby, the member registration process is started.

Step ST131 ': In the member management unit 12, question data for checking the identity of the member registration request source is generated and transmitted to the member registration request source terminal device. Further, at this time, a question regarding agreement to a predetermined contract regarding confidentiality of an idea to be disclosed to a member in a stock selection process described below may be added to the question data. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the idea before the right is made public by the information of the idea being disclosed to the member by the stock offering unit 14, and to counter a violation such as plagiarism of the idea by the member.

Also, instead of having all members agree to a confidentiality agreement as described above, an investor member who can browse information on ideas but cannot register ideas, can register ideas but cannot browse information on ideas of others. The registered members may be registered separately with the idea registration member, and only the person who requests registration as an investor member may be allowed to agree with the above confidentiality agreement. That is, a question as to which of the investor member and the idea registered member is to be selected, and a question regarding the agreement of the investor member applicant with the confidentiality agreement are added to the question data. As a result, a person who has expressed an intention to register an idea can restrict the act of viewing another person's idea before the right is granted, so that unnecessary disputes such as plagiarism of the idea can be reduced.

Step ST132 ': The question data is received by the terminal device requesting the member registration, and the question is displayed at the request source of the member registration. The answer to the question entered by the member registration request source into the terminal device according to the display is sent to the network 4
0 is received by the input / output unit 11 of the idea investment apparatus 1 and input to the member management unit 12.

Step ST133 ': The member management unit 12 outputs an identity check request to the identity check unit 17 based on the information on the identity of the member registration request source included in the input answer. Background checker 1 receiving this background check request
At 7, the information on the identity of the member registration request source is retrieved from the identity information stored in the identity database DB17. When the corresponding information is not included in the identity database DB17, for example, another database (not shown) connected to the network 40 may be accessed to search the identity information. The identity information obtained as a result of the search is output to the member management unit 12.

Step ST134 ': It is determined whether to permit the member registration request based on the retrieved identity information of the member registration request source. For example, if the identity of the requester for membership registration is unknown, if the age of the member has not reached the specified age, or if there is a large debt, the request for membership registration is rejected if the specified membership registration requirements are not met. You. If permission of the member registration request is determined, step ST13
The process shifts to 6 ', and when rejection is determined, the process shifts to step ST135'. Step ST135 ': A message notifying the member registration request source terminal device that the member registration request is determined to be not permitted is generated in the member management unit 12, and the message is transmitted to the member registration request source terminal device. The login process ends.

Step ST136 ': The member management section 12 requests the terminal device of the member registration request source for the identification data. In response, the biometric device provided in the terminal device of the member registration request source generates the identification data of the member registration request source, and transmits it to the member management unit 12. Further, at this time, a password may be issued to notify the terminal device of the member registration request source, similarly to step ST136 of FIG. Step ST137 ′: Member registration request source is step S137
Based on the information answered in T132 ', the member management unit 1
2 is registered as a member in the member database DB12 together with the identification data received.

Next, the investor or idea holder registered by the above-described member registration process is used by the idea investment apparatus 1.
A process for logging in to the server will be described. FIG.
It is a flowchart for explaining a login process.

Step ST100: Investor terminal device 2
A or a login request is output from the terminal device 2 b of the idea holder, and the request is received by the input / output unit 11 of the idea investment device 1 via the network 40 and input to the member management unit 12. Thus, the login process is started.

Step ST101: In the member management section 12 to which the login request has been input, question data for confirming whether or not the request source is a member registered in the member database DB12 is generated. Sent. For example, when a member number and a password for uniquely identifying each member are registered in the member database DB12, question data for inquiring these data to the login request source is generated. Further, the above-mentioned identification data for uniquely identifying a member is stored in the member database DB12.
In the case where a device that reads the identification data is provided in the requesting terminal device, question data requesting transmission of the identification data to the idea investment device 1 is generated.

Step ST102: Step ST101
In response to the question data received by the terminal device requesting the login, the user requesting the login inputs an answer to the terminal device. For example, a member number, a password, identification data, and the like are input to the terminal device. The input answer data is output from the terminal device,
It is received by the input / output unit 11 of the idea investment device 1 via the network 40. The answer data received by the input / output unit 11 is input to the member management unit 12, where the data is compared with the identification data registered in the member database DB12. For example, the member number and password are answered from the terminal device, and the data thus answered,
The member number and the password registered in the member database DB12 are collated.

Step ST103: Step ST102
As a result of the collation, when it is confirmed that the login request source is a member registered in the member database 12, the process proceeds to step ST104, and when it is not registered, the process proceeds to step ST105. . Step ST105: A message notifying the requesting terminal device that the login request has been determined to be non-permitted is generated in the member management unit 12, the message is transmitted to the requesting terminal device, and the login process ends. .

Step ST104: A message notifying the requesting terminal device that the login request has been permitted is generated in the member management section 12, transmitted to the requesting terminal device, and the login process is terminated. Thereafter, the idea investment device 1 accepts each processing request from the terminal device. The processing request from the terminal device to the idea investment device 1 is accepted, for example, until a logout request is output from the terminal device.

Next, the process of registering the ideas of the idea holders registered as members in the above-described member registration process in the idea database DB 13 will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining the idea registration process.

Step ST140: An idea registration request is transmitted from the terminal device 2b of the idea holder who wants to register an idea, and the input / output unit 1
1 and input to the idea management unit 13. Thus, the idea registration process is started. In the above-described member registration process, if members are registered separately as investor members who can purchase stocks and idea registered members who can register ideas, The request for idea registration from other members may be rejected in this step.

Step ST141: Idea management section 13
In, question data for examining the idea requested to be registered is generated and transmitted to the terminal device 2b that has requested the registration. For example, a question about the field and content of the idea, which right to acquire (eg, a patent, utility model, design, trademark, etc.) is asked to the registration request source.

Step ST142: The question data is received by the registration requesting terminal device 2b, and a question is displayed at the registration requesting source. The answer to the question input by the member registration request source to the terminal device according to the display is received by the input / output unit 11 of the idea investment device 1 via the network 40 and input to the idea management unit 13.

Step ST143: Based on the input answer, the idea management unit 13 outputs an idea examination request to the idea examination unit 18. In response to the request for examination, the idea examination unit 18 sends the document database DB1
The information corresponding to the answer content is searched for from the document information on the known idea stored in 8. If the relevant information is not included in the literature database DB18,
For example, another database (not shown) connected to the network 40 may be accessed to search for literature information on a known idea. Based on the document information obtained as a result of the search, predetermined idea registration requirements such as novelty and inventive step of the idea are examined. Further, requirements other than novelty and inventive step may be examined, for example, whether the idea does not include contents that harm public welfare. Then, the examination result is output to the idea management unit 13.

Step ST144: Idea judging unit 18
Based on the examination result, it is determined whether to permit the idea registration request. If it is determined that the idea registration request is permitted, the process proceeds to step ST146. If it is determined that the idea registration request is not permitted, the process proceeds to step ST145. Step ST145: A message notifying the registration request source terminal device that the idea registration request is determined to be rejected is generated in idea management section 13, and the message is transmitted to the registration request source terminal device to register the idea registration. The process ends. Step ST146: The idea requested to be registered is registered in the idea database DB13 based on the information answered in step ST142, and the idea registration process ends.

Next, the investor permitted to log in in the above-described log-in process accesses the stock publicizing unit 14, browses the information on the publicly available stocks, and selects a stock to be purchased from the information. The stock selection process will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining the stock selection processing by the investor.

Step ST110: A stock display request is output from the terminal device 2a of the registered investor, and the request is received by the input / output unit 11 of the idea investment device 1 via the network 40 and sent to the stock disclosure unit 14. Will be entered. Thereby, the stock selection process is started.

Step ST111: In the stock disclosure unit 14, it is confirmed whether or not the request source of the stock display request satisfies predetermined stock display requirements. For example, if the idea information to be displayed includes information related to the content of the idea, and the idea is made public by displaying this information, it means that you have agreed to the specified confidentiality agreement. Requirements. That is, it is determined that a stock display request by a member who does not agree with the confidentiality agreement does not satisfy the stock display requirement.

For example, in the above-described member registration process, when members are registered separately as an investor member who can purchase stocks and an idea registered member who can register ideas. It is determined that the stock display request from the idea registered member does not satisfy the stock display requirement.

However, for example, if the idea information disclosed in the stock offering unit 14 does not include information on the contents of the idea that makes the idea known, the agreement to the above confidentiality agreement is not obtained. Because it is no longer needed
Step ST111 and steps ST112 and ST114 described later may be omitted. Further, step ST111 and step ST112 and step ST114 described later are omitted, and step ST1 described later is omitted.
In 13, the display request source may confirm the agreement to the confidentiality agreement for each piece of idea information to be displayed. In any case, if the idea is made public by displaying the information of the idea, the information of the idea is displayed only to members who have agreed to a predetermined confidentiality agreement.

Step ST112: If the received stock display request satisfies the stock display requirement, step ST11.
The process moves to step ST3, and if not, the process moves to step ST114. Step ST114: A message notifying the requesting terminal device 2a that the stock display request has been determined to be non-permitted is generated in the stock opening unit 14, and the message is transmitted to the requesting terminal device 2a for stock selection processing. Is terminated.

Step ST113: The stock information displayed to the requesting investor is input from the stock management unit 15 to the stock open unit 14, and information on the idea of the stock is sent from the idea management unit 13 to the stock open unit 14. Is entered. Then, display data is generated from the information input in the stock offering unit 14 and transmitted to the terminal device 2a of the requesting investor. The display data received by the terminal device 2a is reproduced by the terminal device 2a as, for example, an image on a display or sound from a speaker. Further, based on the information of the stock reproduced in the form of an image or a sound, the investor selects the stock desired to be purchased. For example, an operation is performed in which a stock desired to be purchased is selected by the investor using a mouse or the like from information displayed on the display screen. The information of the selected stock is stored in the stock sales unit 16 in the stock sales processing described later.
Sent to.

FIG. 10 is a view showing an example of a screen for displaying stock information to investors in the stock selection processing. In the screen example shown in FIG. 10, the name of the idea, the field, the stock price of the stock issued for the idea, the number of remaining stocks for sale, the registration number for identifying the registered idea,
The remaining sale period and the number of times detailed information of the idea was accessed are displayed. In addition, a "display details" button that is pressed when displaying detailed information of an idea and a "purchase" button that is pressed when a stock is purchased are displayed. When the "buy" button is pressed by a mouse or the like by the investor, FIG.
The information of the pressed stock is displayed on the screen of. When a numerical value is displayed on the screen, for example, the numerical value may be displayed as it is, or a figure such as a bar graph may be displayed like the number of remaining shares or the number of remaining days in FIG.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a screen on which the investor inputs the number of shares to be purchased in the stock selection process. FIG.
In the example of the screen shown in FIG. 1, the name of the idea and the number of remaining shares are displayed together with the registration number for identifying the registered idea. Further, a numerical value input box for inputting the number of shares to be purchased for each of the shares is displayed. The screen displays information on the stock for which the “buy” button in FIG. 10 has been pressed. When the "OK" button is pressed by a mouse or the like after the number of shares to be purchased of each share is input to the numerical value input box by the investor, the stock to be purchased is determined, and the stock selection processing is completed. Be executed.

Step ST115: It is determined whether or not an instruction to change the display content by the investor who browses the stock information has been received by the stock disclosure unit 14. For example, it is determined whether or not an instruction to display detailed information by the “display details” button in FIG. 10 or an instruction to display information in ascending order of stock prices has been received by the stock offering unit 14.
If an instruction to change the display content has been received, the process proceeds to step ST116, and if not, the process proceeds to step ST117.

Step ST116: In response to an instruction to change the display content from the investor, idea database DB1 is received.
3 and the data corresponding to the change instruction are extracted from the stock database DB 15 and input to the stock disclosure unit 14. Then, display data corresponding to the change instruction is generated from the data input to the stock offering unit 14. For example, display data in which stock information is displayed in the order of the lowest stock price is generated.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining the display change processing in step ST116. In step ST150, it is determined whether the instruction to change the display content is an instruction to display the content of a specific idea or an instruction to search or sort information to be displayed, and an instruction to display the content of the specific idea is provided. If so, the process moves to step ST151. If the instruction is for information search or rearrangement, the process proceeds to step ST155.

When displaying the contents of a specific idea,
In step ST151, question data for asking the display request source whether or not to agree with the predetermined confidentiality agreement is generated by the stock offering unit 14 and transmitted to the terminal device 2b of the display requesting investor. . In response to the question data from the investor, if the investor agrees with the confidentiality agreement, the process proceeds to step ST152. If the investor does not agree, the request for changing the display content is not permitted, and the display change process ends. You. This step may be omitted if the display requesting investor has already agreed to the confidentiality agreement in the above-described member registration process.

[0097] If the display requester agrees with the confidentiality agreement, the information of the idea whose details are to be displayed is extracted from the idea database DB 13 in step ST152, and is input to the stock disclosure unit 14. Step ST1
At 53, display data for causing the terminal device 2a to allow the investor to browse the information is generated from the input idea information.

If the display content change instruction is an instruction relating to information search or rearrangement, step ST155
In the above, question data for asking the display requesting investor about the details of the change is generated by the public offering unit 14, the question data is transmitted to the display requesting terminal device 2a, and the question is displayed at the display requesting source. You.

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of a screen on which the investor inputs the details of the change in the display change process. In the “display item selection” column of the screen example shown in FIG. 12, an item to be displayed on the screen shown in FIG. 10 is selected. For example,
Items such as the idea name, registration date, inventor name, field, number of accesses, stock price, number of shares issued, number of remaining shares, number of remaining days, and the economic value of the idea are checked by the radio button displayed on the right side. Selected by.

In the "display item selection" column of the example screen shown in FIG. 12, search conditions for stock information to be displayed on the screen shown in FIG. 10 are input. For example, information on the corresponding stock is searched from words input to items such as the name of the idea, the creator, and the field. In addition, information on the corresponding stock is searched from the range of numerical values entered in items such as stock price, registration date, and economic value. If the information is further narrowed down from the displayed information, the radio button "Narrow down" is checked, and if the information is newly searched, the radio button "New" is checked.

Also, "Sort" in the screen example shown in FIG.
In the column, a rule for rearranging stock information to be displayed on the screen shown in FIG. 10 is input. For example, a plurality of items to be rearranged can be selected with priorities. In the screen example of FIG. 12, three items to be rearranged are selected, and the left item has the highest priority and the right item has the lowest priority. Further, for each of the selected items, whether to rearrange them in ascending order or descending order is selected by checking any of the "ascending order" and "descending order" radio buttons of each item.

In the example of the screen shown in FIG. 12, the answer data is generated by the terminal device 2 b by pressing the “OK” button after the input of the answer to the question of the change content is completed, and is transmitted to the stock offering unit 14. Then step S
At T156, the information of the idea to be displayed is extracted from the idea database DB13 according to the answer data, and is input to the stock offering unit 14. Step ST15
In step 7, the terminal device 2 is
In step a, display data for causing an investor to view information is generated. At this time, display data in which the stock information is rearranged according to the answer data is generated.

Then, the process returns to step ST113 again, and the display data generated in the above-described display change process is output to the terminal device 2a of the investor.

Step ST117: It is determined whether or not the selection of the stock desired to be purchased has been completed, and whether or not the investor has issued an instruction to end browsing of the stock information. The process ends. For example, when the “OK” button shown in FIG. 11 is pressed, it is determined that an instruction to end the browsing of the stock information has been issued, and the stock selecting process ends. If the end instruction has not been issued, the process returns to step ST115, and the browsing of stock information and the selection of stock by the investor are continued.

Next, a process of giving a privilege according to the number of times the information of the idea has been accessed by the investor to the holder of the idea disclosed in the above-described stock selection process will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating the access count confirmation process.

Step ST160: A display request for information on a specific stock is input to the stock disclosure unit 14. Step ST161: The request source of the input display request is
It is determined whether it is equal to the idea holder of the stock requested to be displayed, and if so, the access number confirmation processing is terminated. If they are not equal, step ST162
The processing is shifted to. Step ST162: The number of accesses to the stock requested to be displayed is input from the stock database DB15, incremented, and returned to the stock database DB15 for registration.
Through the above processing, for example, the act of accessing the own idea by himself in order to increase the number of accesses is invalidated.

Step ST163: The stock offering unit 14 determines whether or not the incremented access count has reached a predetermined count. If not, the access count confirmation processing ends. If it has arrived, the process proceeds to step ST164.

Step ST164: In the stock offering unit 14, a predetermined privilege process is executed. For example, for an idea holder who holds an idea for a stock that has been accessed,
Benefits such as discounts and exemptions on membership fees are given. In this case, the privilege process is executed by updating the membership fee data in the database for managing the membership fee of the member, for example, the membership database DB12.

Next, a description will be given, with reference to the drawings, of a stock selling process for selling the stock selected in the above stock selecting process to an investor. FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining the stock selling process.

Step ST120: After the selection of the stock desired to be purchased is completed in the stock selection processing, a request for selling the stock is output from the terminal device 2a of the investor, and the request is transmitted via the network 40 to the idea investment device 1 Is received by the input / output unit 11 and input to the stock sales unit 16. Thereby, the stock sales process is started.

Step ST121: A request to extract information on the selected stock is output from the stock sales unit 16 to the stock management unit 15, and the stock management unit 15 extracts from the stock database DB15 the stock information corresponding to the extraction request. Is done. The information of the extracted stock is input to the stock sales unit 16 and it is confirmed whether or not the stock can be sold. For example, if the selected stock has already been sold to another investor or has been sold, it is determined that the stock cannot be sold. Step ST122: When it is confirmed in step ST121 that the stock can be sold, step S122 is performed.
The process shifts to T123, and when it is confirmed that the stock cannot be sold, the stock selling process ends.

Step ST123: It is confirmed whether or not the sales requester satisfies predetermined sales requirements. For example,
It is confirmed from the information in the member database 12 whether or not the total number of unpaid shares among the shares sold to the sales requester exceeds a predetermined upper limit. It is determined that the requesting member does not meet the stock sales requirements.

Step ST124: Step ST123
When it is confirmed that the requirements for stock sales are satisfied in step ST126, the process proceeds to step ST126, and when it is confirmed that the requirements are not satisfied, the process proceeds to step ST125. Step ST125: A message notifying the requesting terminal device 2a that the stock sale request has been determined to be non-permitted is generated in the stock selling unit 16, and the message is transmitted to the requesting terminal device 2a to perform the stock selling process. Is terminated.

Step ST126: It is registered in the stock database DB15 that the stock requested for sale has been sold. The stock registered as sold in this step is determined to be unsellable in step ST121, and will not be sold to other investors.

Step ST127: Step ST126
The stock registered as contracted in is sold to the member requesting the sale. As the payment method, in addition to various online payment methods such as electronic money payment and credit card payment, various offline payment methods such as bank transfer, registered mail, check remittance, etc. Is possible. The member may be allowed to select an appropriate payment method from some of these payment methods. In the case of the online payment method, for example, information indicating completion of payment is input to the stock sales unit 16 of the idea investment apparatus 1 from a financial institution (not shown) connected to the network 40.
In the case of the offline payment method, information indicating completion of payment is input to the stock sales unit 16 by the operator who operates the idea investment apparatus 1. Stock Sales Department 1
If the payment is confirmed in step 6, the process proceeds to step ST128.

If the price is not paid within the predetermined sales period in step ST127, the status of the stock requested to be sold may be changed from sold to available for sale, and the stock sales process may be terminated. As a result, the stock is never left unnecessarily left as it has been sold.

Step ST128: Step ST127
In, the status of the stock for which payment has been completed is changed from sold to sold, and registered in the stock database DB15. Information used for managing the stock, such as information on the member who purchased the stock, is registered in the stock database DB15.

As described above, according to the idea investment system 100 shown in FIG. 1, in response to a member registration request from the terminal device 2a or the terminal device 2b, the member management unit 12 asks the member for a predetermined question regarding his / her identity. It is output to the terminal device of the registration request source. Then, based on the answer from the member registration request source to the question, information on the identity of the member registration request source is collected by the identity investigation unit 17,
The member management unit 12 is notified. According to the notified information, the member management unit 12 determines whether or not to permit the member registration request of the member registration request source. If it is determined that the permission is granted, the member registration request source determines based on the above answer. Is registered in the member database DB12.
