Description

  The present invention relates to a technical information providing system, and more particularly, to a technical information providing system that provides information related to a technology held by an organization or an individual.

When a company starts a new business, if the company does not have the knowledge, technology and equipment necessary to proceed with the business, first contact an affiliated company such as a subsidiary or an existing business partner to request business cooperation. By doing so, try to complement the parts that are not enough in the company.
However, in some cases, affiliated companies or existing business partners alone cannot make up for technologies that are insufficient for the company, and in that case, it is necessary to search for new partner companies.

As one of the conventional techniques for searching for a new partner company as described above, a transaction system, a method for controlling the transaction system, and a program for the transaction disclosed in Patent Document 1 have been proposed.
In the transaction system of Patent Document 1, the management system determines whether or not the service conditions, requirements, or standards registered in the table are mutually compatible between the important person and the supplier. When affirmatively, the matching between the service requested by the important person and the service that can be provided by the supplier is executed.
As a result, the consumer can easily search for a partner company that can supply the service desired by the customer.

<First Embodiment>
(Outline of the first embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining the background of the technical information providing system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
Moreover, FIG. 2 is a figure which shows each step at the time of selecting a business partner in the 1st Embodiment of this invention.
Hereinafter, the background of the present embodiment will be described with reference to these drawings.

In the first embodiment of the present invention, an ordering party (for example, a large company or the like) searches for a business partner possessing a technology that does not exist in its own company when conducting its own business.
In the present embodiment, the ordering side is a company that starts a business as an example, but may be other organizations such as public organizations, universities, research institutions, and individuals or departments (universities and research institutions). (Including other laboratories).

The order receiving side (for example, a small and medium enterprise) is an individual or organization that can be a business partner candidate searched by the ordering side, and possesses predetermined technology, knowledge, or equipment.
In this embodiment, the order-receiving side is a medium-sized company that receives an order-side business as an example. Or an individual or a department (including laboratories of universities and research institutions).

A coordinator is an organization or an individual who supports one or more orders-side businesses and proposes matching with the ordering side in the support activities. The coordinator knows the profile of the company that is in charge of support and the technology that is the strength, and responds to the ordering side on the ordering side on behalf of the ordering side.
For example, coordinators are local governments, universities, banks, industrial promotion foundations (mechanisms) or private research companies, human resources banks, management consultants, etc. It may support the business of the order receiving side (local company, etc.).

  The management company is a company that manages and operates the technical information providing system according to the present embodiment.

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

Here, in the present embodiment, the “technology” desired by the ordering party and the “technology” possessed by the order receiving party are not limited to the technology, but use knowledge and facilities such as factories that demonstrate the technology, and further use the technology. Products derived from the technology, such as products manufactured and services provided.
For example, if the ordering side possesses sheet metal processing technology, the technology includes a narrowly-defined technology, a factory that performs the sheet metal processing, know-how, products manufactured by the sheet metal processing, and the like. .

In the present embodiment, when the ordering party registers the matter information including information on the conditions necessary for its own business in the management server of the management business operator, the management business operator releases the registered matter information to the coordinator. To do.
The coordinator confirms the contents of the case information, and recommends the ordering side that matches the conditions as the business partner presented in the case information among the one or more ordering sides for which the coordinator is in charge of support. At this time, the coordinator informs the management company and the ordering side of the profile information on the order receiving side, the technology and the strength possessed by the order receiving side as the reason for recommendation.
The management company confirms the content transmitted from the coordinator and registers it in the management server. The stage of recommending the order-receiving side to the management company and the ordering side by the coordinator is referred to as order-receiving recommendation.
The order receiving side responds to the condition of the item information. The stage in which the ordering party evaluates and selects the response from the order receiving side is called primary selection.
Further, the ordering side registers new conditions in the management server as the item information for the order receiving side that has passed the primary selection. The stage of selection on the order side under this new condition is called secondary selection.
Of the orders received from the coordinator, those who have received a high evaluation from the ordering side and passed the primary selection proceed to the secondary selection. The order receiving side that has advanced to the secondary selection responds to the conditions presented in the secondary selection.
The ordering side evaluates the response from the ordering side in the secondary selection, and the ordering side that was highly evaluated here proceeds to an interview with the ordering side.
Then, the ordering side evaluates the ordering side in the interview, and the ordering side that passes the interview is formally selected as the business partner of the ordering side.

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

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a trend map according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
In the example shown in the figure, the trend map forms a tree structure composed of five categories (hierarchies), and one or more technical items belong to the category.
Adjacent categories of technical items (nodes) are connected by edges (lines) representing the degree of association.

A category is a classification for classifying technical items based on their meanings.
In the example shown in the figure, the trend map has the categories “market”, “product”, “request”, “function”, and “technology” in order from the top. It has become. Each category includes a plurality of technical items (ICT / IoT, work style reform, ... safety, ... heat engine, ...).
“Market” indicates the type of market that constitutes an industry.
“Product” indicates the type of product required to be supplied to the market in a certain industry.
“Request” indicates the type of problem that needs to be resolved for a product supplied in an industry.
“Function” indicates a type of function that requires improvement, more specifically a problem that needs to be solved in a certain industry.
“Technology” indicates the type of technology specifically required for improving the function in an industry.
In this figure, the industry is “automobile industry” as an example.

  The technical item is an item related to the technology used in the business, and there are various items depending on the category to which the technical item belongs.

In the example of the figure, the thickness of the edge is adjusted based on the degree of association between the technical items so that the degree of association between the technical items can be grasped at a glance.
The degree of association is an index representing the depth of association between each technical item in the trend map.
In the trend map of the example in the figure, the edges are expressed from the thicker to the thinner as the relevance is decreased (from level 1 to level 2 to level 3).
For example, in the example of this figure, the technical item “low environmental load” belonging to the function and the technical item “common base” belonging to the technology are connected by the thickest level 1 edge. It has been shown that there are many companies that require “common infrastructure” technology to achieve the “environmental load” function, or that use the “common infrastructure” technology.

In addition, in this example, a characteristic expression is performed so that the thickness of the edge is changed according to the degree of relevance. It is not limited to expressing the difference in relevance by the thickness of the edge as described above.
For example, characteristic expression may be performed by changing the color or linearity of the edge according to the degree of relevance.

The technical information providing system extracts technical items related to the words described in the text data of the case information, determines that the technical items extracted from the same item information are closely related, and sets the degree of association To do.
As described above, the technical information providing system according to the present embodiment repeats the extraction of technical items based on the case information and the setting of the degree of association, thereby generating a trend map.
The trend map generated in this way is an efficient extraction of the technical items that are important in the business planned by multiple ordering parties, so it is a comprehensive representation of the trends of multiple ordering parties in the industry. Can do.
Therefore, by confirming the contents of this trend map, the ordering party can easily grasp the direction the industry is heading, and proceed with the business plan without lagging behind other competitors. It becomes possible.

In addition, the technical information providing system according to the present embodiment uses the information acquired when matching the ordering side and the ordering side to display image information (hereinafter, skill map) indicating the technical content currently held by the ordering side. Are provided to the ordering side or the order receiving side.
This skill map also shows to which field the technology that the ordering party has can be applied, so the ordering side uses this to match appropriately when developing a business. It is possible to search for a business partner (order receiving side) that is really necessary.
On the other hand, by referring to his / her skill map, the contractor can objectively grasp the technology content that he / she owns, and can accurately recognize what field the technology is useful for. . In addition, when the order-receiving side becomes the side that orders business, the technology that is lacking in itself can be accurately grasped, and the technology that needs to be ordered to the outside can be easily identified.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a skill map in the first embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in the figure, the skill map, like the trend map, forms a tree structure consisting of five categories (hierarchies). ).

In the example in the figure, the skill map has the categories “market”, “product”, “request”, “function”, and “technology” in order from the top. It has become. Each category includes a plurality of technical items (ICT / IoT, work style reform, ... safety, ... heat engine, ...).
“Market” indicates the type of market that constitutes an industry.
“Product” indicates the type of product that can be supplied to the market by the contractor in a certain industry.
“Request” indicates the type of problem that can be solved for a product that can be supplied by an order in a certain industry.
“Function” indicates a type of a function that can be improved, more specifically a problem that can be solved by an order in a certain industry.
“Technology” indicates a specific type of technology used in order to improve functions in a certain industry.
In this figure, the industry is “automobile industry” as an example.

In the example of the figure, the thickness of the edge is adjusted based on the calculated degree of association between the technical items so that the degree of association between the technical items can be grasped at a glance.
In the skill map of the example in the figure, the edges are expressed from the thicker to the thinner as the relevance level decreases from higher to lower (level 1 → 2 → 3 in order from the thickest).
For example, in the example of this figure, the technical item “riding comfort” belonging to the function and the technical item “material” belonging to the technology are connected by the thickest edge of level 1. It is shown that the skill of realizing the function of “riding comfort” by using the technology of “material” is high in the manufacture of the car.

In this example, the characteristic expression (display) is performed so that the thickness of the edge is changed according to the level of relevance. However, the expression may be characteristic so that the relevance can be easily grasped. What is necessary is just to express the difference in the degree of association with the thickness of the edge as described above.
For example, characteristic expression may be performed by changing the color or linearity of the edge according to the degree of relevance.

The technical information provision system extracts technical items related to the words described in the text data of the case information answered by the order receiving side who received a certain evaluation from the ordering side, and the technical items extracted from the same item information Assume that they are closely related to each other, and set the degree of association.
In addition, the technical information provision system extracts technical items related to the words described in the response information text data that shows the contents of the reply from the ordering party that received a certain evaluation from the ordering side, and The technical items extracted from the information and the technical items extracted from the same answer information are determined to be closely related, and the degree of association is set.
As described above, the technical information providing system according to the present embodiment repeatedly extracts the technical items and sets the relevance based on the case information and the response information, and generates a skill map for each order receiving side.
The skill map generated in this way is related to the technical items extracted from the case information and the response information a predetermined number of times when the order side receives a certain evaluation from the ordering side in the process of replying to the case information. Regarding the technology, it can be said that the ordering side is the strength, and if the degree of association set between the technical items is a predetermined value or more, it is particularly strong in the relationship between these technical items. be able to.
Accordingly, by confirming the contents of this skill map, the ordering side and the like can accurately select the order receiving side with high skill required from the business partner.
In addition, by confirming the contents of its skill map, the contractor can objectively determine the technology that it possesses and the technologies that it lacks. It is possible to easily plan this policy.

Further, when the ordering side selects the ordering side name, entry number, etc. posted in the secondary list data with the operation unit 15, the display unit 14 responds to the condition (conditions 5 and 6) of the case information by the ordering side. Information can be displayed.
The ordering side confirms the contents of the displayed response information of each ordering side, and uses the operation unit 15 to input the evaluation column indicating the evaluation of the ordering side of the business partner candidate in the input field provided in the secondary list data. Enter information.
Here, as the evaluation information to be input, for example, evaluation information on the response contents by the order-receiving side with respect to the question (condition) in the case information, winning / losing information on each order-receiving side, and information on the reason for the loss Including.
In the secondary list data shown in the figure, each evaluation (◎ → ○ → Δ → × from the highest evaluation) is input according to the content of the answer information for each condition.
In addition, the status of the ordering side that satisfies the conditions in the case information (secondary selection condition information) is “pass (win)”, the status of the ordering side that does not satisfy it is “postponed (decision)”, and has not yet been determined “Not evaluated” is input as the status of the order receiving side.

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

When the management server 40 receives the evaluation information, the control unit 41 of the management server 40 registers each received information in the matching DB 424.
Thus, the registration process of the evaluation information for the secondary list data is completed.

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

When receiving the registration notification from the management server 40, the management company terminal 50 performs an editing process of the evaluation information of the case information (secondary selection condition information) (step S133).
Since the specific contents of the evaluation information editing process of the case information (secondary selection condition information) are the same as the case information (primary selection condition information), the description of the contents is omitted.

After the editing process is completed, the management company operates the operation unit 55 to send information indicating that the evaluation information has been publicly approved from the management company terminal 50 to the management server 40 together with the evaluation information on which the editing process has been performed. To send to.
When the management server 40 receives the evaluation information that has undergone the editing process and the information of the public approval instruction from the management provider terminal 50, the control unit 41 of the management server 40 receives the received evaluation information as an information storage unit. 42, and various information included in the evaluation information is registered in the matching DB 424.
Further, the management server 40 publicly approves the corresponding evaluation information to the order receiving side and the coordinator in charge of the order receiving side in accordance with the instruction of the management company in the evaluation information (step S134).

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

Thereafter, the ordering side, for example, uses the ordering side terminal 10 to transmit information such as the date of the interview to the ordering side terminal 20 of the ordering side that has passed the secondary selection and the coordinator terminal 30 of the coordinator in charge of the ordering side. Then, we make appointments with the order-receiving side, and after the interview, select a business partner from the order-receiving side that has advanced to the interview.
When the selection of the business partner is completed, the ordering side transmits evaluation information based on this to the management server 40 using the ordering side terminal 10.
This interview evaluation information is, for example, information indicating the selection result (winning / losing) of each order receiving side.
Upon receiving the interview evaluation information, the management server 40 stores the received evaluation information in the information storage unit 42, and registers information included in the evaluation information in the matching DB 424 (step S136).

When the evaluation information of the interview is registered as described above, the management server 40 sends the registered evaluation information to the order-receiving-side terminal 20 that has participated in the interview and the coordinator terminal 30 of the coordinator in charge of the order-receiving side. The result of the interview is transmitted (step S137).
Thus, the technical information providing system ends the operation of selecting the business partner.

As described above, the technical information providing system according to the present embodiment responds to the condition (needs) of the matter information presented by the ordering side, and the ordering side generally holds the technical contents held by the ordering side in a private state. Since the answer is given regarding (seeds), the order receiving side can minimize the risk of leakage of technologies and know-how that should be kept secret.
In this way, the order-receiving side maintains the confidentiality of its technical contents, so that the contents of its own technical contents can be transferred to the ordering side without hesitation, beyond what is normally open to the public. Since the information can be disclosed, the ordering side can accurately search for a business partner.
In addition, as described above, the technical information providing system according to the present embodiment advances the reply to the ordering side's needs as described above, so even if the ordering side's needs are not clearly stated, it is usually difficult to search. Even with tacit knowledge, it is possible to easily search for orders that have seeds that can easily solve the needs.

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

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

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

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

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

Next, when trying to acquire a trend map, the management company inputs a trend map acquisition request using the management company terminal 50 and transmits it to the management server 40 (step S1005).
At this time, the management company can specify the range of the trend map to be acquired by operating the operation unit 55.
For example, the management company specifies each condition on the trend map acquisition request screen (not shown), such as the categories that constitute the trend map, the technical items that constitute the trend map, and the registration period of the item information used to generate the trend map. Can be specified.
For example, if the purpose of obtaining a trend map is to grasp recent market trends, the trend map should be generated based on recently registered project information (for example, the last year). Is preferred.
In addition, when it is desired to limit the market or business type of the trend map, the trend map can be acquired in accordance with the purpose by specifying to exclude unnecessary categories or technical items.

  When the management server 40 receives the trend map acquisition request and the information on the specified conditions from the management company terminal 50, the control unit 41 determines the technology according to the specified conditions from the case information based on the received information on the specified conditions. Trends that extract information on items and relevance, add the relevance between each technical item using the extracted technical items and relevance, and visualize the relevance between each technical item A map is generated (step S1006).

Here, an example is given and demonstrated about the summation method of the said relevance degree.
For example, in the trend map DB 426, the control unit 41 determines the degree of association “1.0” between the technical items “safety” and “run” and the association between the technical items “safety” and “run”. If the degree “1.2” is registered, the degree of relevance “2.2” between the technical items “safety” and “run” is calculated by adding the two together.
In this example, the control unit 41 simply adds the degree of association between the same technical items, but may calculate the average of the degree of association between the two, weight, or other methods.
The method of calculating the degree of association is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that the degree of association be calculated so as to increase as the appearance frequency of the technical item in the case information increases.

The value of the degree of association between each technical item calculated as described above is referred to as trend map data.
FIG. 34 is a diagram showing an example of trend map data according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
In the example of the figure, the value of the degree of association between the technical item “ICT / IoT” in the category “market” and each technical item in the category “product” is shown. Further, the value of the degree of association between other technical items not shown in the figure is omitted in the drawing for simplicity.

  Based on the trend map data, the control unit 41 forms a tree structure that represents each category as a hierarchy, and generates image information representing the tree structure as a trend map.

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

  In the present embodiment described above, the management server 40 transmits the trend map to the management company terminal 50, but in response to an acquisition request from the ordering side terminal 10, the order receiving side terminal 20, or the coordinator terminal 30, You may make it transmit to each terminal 10, 20, and 30 of each acquisition request origin directly.

As described above, according to the technical information providing system in the present embodiment, the ordering side registers the item information including the conditions (needs) required as the business partner using the ordering side terminal 10 in the management server 40, and the management server 40 extracts technical items based on the words included in the registered item information, sets the relevance between the technical items included in the same item information, and sets the relevance to the extracted technical items. Based on this, a trend map is generated and provided.
The trend map is generated by summing up combinations of technical items included in the item information presented by a plurality of ordering parties, and weighting in some cases.
In other words, since the trend map is a visualization of the words included in the business contents planned by multiple ordering parties based on technical items, with their relevance added, By checking the contents of the map, it is easy to identify what themes are currently desired in the industry and what technologies are needed to solve the problems of the themes. It becomes possible to grasp.
As a result, the ordering party can confirm the contents of the trend map to improve the accuracy in determining the direction of management, such as in which department in the company the investment should be concentrated. Is possible.

  On the other hand, by confirming the contents of the above-mentioned trend map, the order-receiving side can pinpoint what technology the unspecified large number of companies on the ordering side currently needs and what technology they need. In the future, it will be possible to improve the accuracy in determining the direction of management, such as which department in the company should be invested in.

Further, in the present embodiment described above, the control unit 41 generates a trend map so as to perform a characteristic display such as changing the thickness of the edge according to the degree of relevance. It is also possible to generate a trend map so as to perform characteristic display according to the degree of increase in relevance.
In this case, the control unit 41 refers to the trend map DB 426 on the order receiving side, and totals the trend map data for each predetermined period such as 2015, 2016, 2017,.
And the control part 41 compares the relevance degree of each period, and based on the increase number of the relevance degree compared with the previous period, for example, the relevance degree whose increase number (rate) is more than predetermined value is a thick edge, less than predetermined value A trend map is generated so as to display a characteristic such as a thin edge.
In this way, the control unit 41 generates and provides a trend map that reflects the rate of change in time-related relevance, so that a viewer who has confirmed this has recently increased in demand in the industry, It is possible to easily grasp the contents of the technology that becomes mainstream.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Next, the control unit 41 calculates the degree of association between the technical items based on the extracted evaluation information, and registers the calculated degree of association in the skill map DB 427 (step S2006).
For example, in the algorithm (program) executed when the control unit 41 calculates the degree of association, the correspondence between the evaluation information and the weighting coefficient is written, and when the evaluation information is input, the control unit 41 A weighting coefficient corresponding to is output, and the output weighting coefficient is multiplied by a predetermined number to calculate the degree of association.
In principle, a high weighting factor is associated with a high evaluation in the above algorithm.
In addition, the relevance level of the technical items included in the case information and the response information may be weighted according to the final status (passed through the primary selection, passed through the secondary selection, or final selection) on the order side, You may weight individually with respect to the relevance degree of the technical item contained in each condition according to evaluation for each condition.

  For example, when the conditions of the case information answered by the order receiving side include the technical items “electrification” and “safety”, if the order receiving side passes the primary selection, the relevance level is “1.2”. When the secondary selection is passed, the degree of relevance is “1.6”. When the interview is finally selected as a business partner, the degree of relevance is “2.0”. The control unit 41 performs relevance weighting processing.

  Alternatively, when the response information answered by the order receiving side includes the technical items “electrification” and “safety”, if the order side evaluation for the response information is “◎”, the relevance “2. In the case of “0” and “◯”, the degree of association is “1.6”, in the case of “△”, the degree of association is “1.2”, and in the case of “×”, the degree of association is “0”. The control unit 41 of the server 40 performs relevance degree weighting processing.

Next, when trying to acquire a skill map, the management company inputs a skill map acquisition request using the management company terminal 50 and transmits it to the management server 40 (step S2009).
At this time, the management company can specify the range of the skill map to be acquired by operating the operation unit 55.
For example, the management company designates the order receiving side as the target of the skill map on the skill map acquisition request screen (not shown).
As described above, the management company can acquire a skill map, which is data capable of instantaneously grasping the technical field and the like that the order receiving side is good at by specifying the order receiving side targeted for the skill map.

In addition, the management company, such as the skill map acquisition request screen (not shown), the categories that make up the skill map, the technical items that make up the skill map, the registration information for the case information and response information used to generate the skill map, etc. Each specification condition can be specified.
For example, if you want to acquire the latest knowledge and technology contents owned by the contractor who has the purpose of acquiring the skill map, recently registered case information and associated reply information (for example, in the last year) It is preferable to generate a skill map based on the above.
Further, when it is desired to limit the skill map market or industry, it is possible to acquire a skill map in accordance with the purpose by specifying to exclude unnecessary categories or technical items.

  When the management server 40 receives the skill map acquisition request and information on the specified conditions from the management provider terminal 50, the control unit 41, based on the received information on the specified conditions, the specified order-side skill map DB 427. , Extract the relevance between the technical items for the specified category, technical item, project information / response information registration period, combine the extracted relevance, and the relevance between the integrated technical items Is generated (step S2010).

The method for integrating the skill map is the same as that for the trend map.
Further, the control unit 41 of the management server 40 may calculate the numerical value of the weighting coefficient differently depending on whether the technical item is extracted from the case information answered by the order receiving side or the answer information. .

  In addition, the control unit 41 counts the number of each technical item registered with reference to the skill map DB 427, and weights the value of the registered number of each technical item based on the extracted evaluation information. Process to generate a skill map.

  Data used to generate a skill map indicating the value of the degree of association between the technical items and the number of registrations of each technical item calculated as described above is referred to as skill map data.

FIG. 36 is a diagram illustrating an example of the degree of association between the technical items of the skill map data according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
In the example of the figure, the value of the degree of association between the technical item “ICT / IoT” in the market and each technical item in the product is shown. Further, the value of the degree of association between other technical items not shown in the figure is omitted in the drawing for simplicity.

FIG. 37 is a diagram showing an example of the number of registrations of each technical item in the skill map data according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
In the illustrated example, the order-receiving DB 422 manages information on the number of registrations of each technical item in each category of “market”, “product”, “request”, “function”, and “technology”.
For example, the order receiving side in the example of the figure shows that the technical item “electrification” in the category “product” has a registration count of “87 times”, which is a larger value than other technical items. It can be estimated that “Electrification” technology is a strength.

  Based on the skill map data, the control unit 41 configures a tree structure expressing each category as a hierarchy, and generates image information representing the tree structure as a skill map.

The management server 40 transmits the generated skill map to the management company terminal 50 (step S2009).
When receiving the skill map from the management server 40, the management company terminal 50 displays the skill map on the display unit 54 (step S2010).
The management company confirms the contents of the skill map, and if there is a desire to acquire the skill map from the ordering side, the order receiving side or the coordinator, then the ordering side who desires to acquire using the management company terminal 50 The skill map is transmitted to each terminal 10, 20, 30 of the order receiving side or the coordinator.
This completes the skill map providing operation.

  In the present embodiment described above, the management server 40 transmits the skill map to the management company terminal 50, but in response to an acquisition request from the ordering side terminal 10, the order receiving side terminal 20, or the coordinator terminal 30, You may make it transmit to each terminal 10, 20, and 30 of each acquisition request origin directly.

As described above, according to the technical information providing system in the present embodiment, the order receiving side uses the order receiving side terminal 20 to send response information including answers (seeds) about the conditions presented in the case information to the management server 40. The management server 40 extracts technical items based on the case information answered by the order receiving side and the words included in the registered answer information, and is included in the answer information for the same case information and the same case information. A relevance level is set between the technical items, and a skill map is generated and provided for each order receiving side based on the extracted technical items and the set relevance level.
The skill map is generated by summing up combinations of technical items included in a plurality of item information and a plurality of answer information, and weighting based on the contents of the evaluation information.
In other words, the skill map is based on the technical items that are included in the contents of the business of the ordering party that the ordering party has answered and the technical contents of the ordering party that is likely to meet the conditions of becoming a business partner of the business description. Since the classified items are visualized by adding their relevance, the ordering party checks the contents of each ordering party's skill map when searching for a business partner, and which ordering party becomes a business partner. It is possible to easily grasp whether it is appropriate.

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

As described above, the ordering side specifies the order receiving side and makes a request for acquiring the skill map of the order receiving side as described above. However, the ordering side can also make an acquisition request by specifying other conditions.
For example, the management business operator operates the operation unit 55 of the management business operator terminal 50 to input “skill map including a degree of relevance of a predetermined value or more between predetermined technical items” and search condition designation information. The input search condition designation information is transmitted to the management server 40 together with the skill map acquisition request.
When the management server 40 receives the skill map acquisition request and the search condition designation information from the management provider terminal 50, the control unit 41 calculates the skill map data of each ordering side, and the skill that matches the search condition. Search map data. The control unit 41 generates a skill map as described above based on the skill map data extracted as a result of the search.
In order to secure the search speed of the control unit 41, the control unit 41 may calculate the skill map data on each order side in advance and store it in the information storage unit 42.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11, the order receiving side DB 422 manages affiliation information indicating to which organization the order receiving side belongs.
For example, when a management company or the like designates an order receiving side that is an organization such as a company and requests acquisition of a skill map, the control unit 41 of the management server 40 may include an organization belonging to the organization (such as a department in the company) When there is skill map data for an individual (company employee), the skill map data (relationship between each technical item) of the entire organization is calculated by combining these skill map data.
For example, “combining skill map data” refers to the sum of the relevance of a small organization (department) or an individual belonging to the organization, the calculation of an average value, or the like.
In this way, the control unit 41 of the management server 40 combines the skill map data of the entire organization by integrating the skill map data of the small organizations (departments, laboratories, etc.) and individuals belonging to the organization (company, research institution, etc.). It can also be calculated.

Also, numbers are attached to the technical items of the skill map shown in FIG. 4, and these numbers indicate the number of registrations of each technical item of the skill map data.
The viewer who has confirmed the skill map can determine at a glance that the technical item having a large number is related to the technology that is the strength of the order receiving side.
In the example of FIG. 4, the number of registration times is attached only to the technical item of the category “technology”, but this is merely an example, and the technical item to which the number is attached is not particularly limited.
Further, in the example of FIG. 4, the number of registration times is attached to the technical item, but instead of this, the ratio of the frequency of each technical item in each category may be expressed as a percentage. For example, when the number of registrations of the technical items of the entire category “technology” is 50 and the number of registrations of the technical items A, B, C, D, E is 10 times, the technical items A, B, C, Since the ratio of D and E to the entire category “technology” is 20%, the technical items A, B, C, D, and E in the skill map are each assigned a number “20”.
It should be noted that the skill map data may be configured so as to perform a characteristic display such as changing the color of a node of each technical item network according to the number of registrations or percentage of the technical items of the skill map.

As described above, the management server 40 generates and provides a skill map for each order receiving side.
In addition, the management server 40 can generate and provide a skill map for each coordinator.
Upon receiving a coordinator skill map acquisition request from the management company terminal 50 or the like, the management server 40 generates skill map data with reference to the coordinator skill map DB 427 as shown in FIG. Generate a skill map.
The management server 40 generates a skill map of the coordinator based on all the order-side technical items and relevance levels that the coordinator is in charge of.
By referring to the skill map of this coordinator, the ordering party can easily understand which coordinator is in charge of the order-receiving side that has strengths in the technology related to which technical item. It is possible to proceed with the selection smoothly, for example, by requesting the coordinator to introduce the order side.

In the present embodiment described above, the control unit 41 generates a skill map so as to perform a characteristic display such as changing the thickness of an edge according to the degree of relevance. It is also possible to generate a skill map so as to perform a characteristic display according to the degree of increase in relevance.
In this case, the control unit 41 refers to the corresponding order-side skill map DB 427 and aggregates skill map data for each predetermined period, such as 2015, 2016, 2017,.
And the control part 41 compares the relevance degree of each period, and based on the increase number of the relevance degree compared with the previous period, for example, the relevance degree whose increase number (rate) is more than predetermined value is a thick edge, less than predetermined value The skill map is generated so that the degree of relevance is a characteristic display such as a thin edge.
In this way, the control unit 41 generates and provides a skill map that reflects the temporal rate of change in the degree of relevance. It is possible to easily grasp the contents of the technology that is being (stretched).

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

  The management server 40 is perceived as the Internet, and circulates on the Web, collects information on the order receiving side, performs so-called crawling, extracts technical items based on the collected Web page information, and extracts the extracted technical items. Generate skill maps based on technical items.

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

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

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

  Next, the control unit 41 of the management server 40 extracts a technical item associated with the extracted word in the technical item TB428, and registers the extracted technical item in the skill map DB 427 for each category (step S2104). ).

Next, the control unit 41 sets a relevance level based on the extracted evaluation information, and registers the set relevance level in the skill map DB 427 (step S2105).
For example, a weighting coefficient is written in an algorithm (program) executed when the control unit 41 calculates the relevance, and the control unit 41 sets a predetermined number of weighting coefficients according to the content of the acquired web page. To calculate the relevance.
For example, the URL of each ordering side's own (own) home page is stored in the information storage unit 42 in advance, and the control unit 41 has the Web page from which the technical item is extracted as the ordering side's own (own) website. If it is determined that it belongs to the homepage, the relevance is calculated using a high weighting factor.

Next, when trying to acquire a skill map, the management company inputs a skill map acquisition request using the management company terminal 50 and transmits it to the management server 40 (step S2106).
At this time, the management company can specify the range of the skill map to be acquired by operating the operation unit 55.
For example, the management company designates the order receiving side as the target of the skill map on the skill map acquisition request screen (not shown).
As described above, the management company can acquire a skill map, which is data capable of instantaneously grasping the technical field and the like that the order receiving side is good at by specifying the order receiving side targeted for the skill map.
As shown in FIG. 11, the order receiving side DB 422 manages affiliation information indicating to which organization the order receiving side belongs.
For example, when an order receiving side that is an organization such as a company is specified, the control unit 41 of the management server 40 is a skill map for an organization (such as a department in the company) belonging to the organization or an individual (company employee).
