FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the overall configuration of a business-related three-dimensional visualization system 10 according to the present invention, which includes a Web server 12, an AP server 14, and a plurality of client terminals 16 operated by a user. .
The web server 12 and the AP server 14 are connected via a network.
The Web server 12 and each client terminal 16 are connected via the Internet.
The client terminal 16 is typically a PC, but may be another computer equipped with a Web browser, such as a tablet or a smartphone.

  The AP server 14 is a computer that forms the core of the system 10, and includes an OS and a dedicated application program, and also includes a company DB (database) and a transaction DB (database) in its storage device.

FIG. 2 (a) shows the structure of the company DB 18 and includes data items such as company ID, company name, and location.
Here, “company ID” means an identification code for specifying a company. “One company ID for one company” is the principle, but it does not preclude the allocation of unique company IDs to different divisions or branches belonging to the same company.
FIG. 2B shows the structure of the transaction DB 19 and includes data items such as a selling company, a selling company, and a sales amount. Here, “sales company” is a company that supplies goods and services, and is synonymous with “supplier company”. The data item of “sales company” stores the company ID of the sales company.
On the other hand, a “sale company” is a company that purchases goods and services, and is synonymous with a “source company”. The data item of “sales company” stores the company ID of the sales company.
The “sales amount” means the amount of consideration paid from the selling company (supplier company) to the selling company (supplier company). It is synonymous with.

In this system 10, when a user accesses the Web server 12 from the client terminal 16 and selects a specific company from the company list displayed on the Web page, the 3D transaction visualization map centered on the selected company on the AP server 14 Is generated, and the Web page for displaying the map is transmitted to the client terminal 16 via the Web server 12.
This 3D transaction visualization map is a pseudo-three-dimensional representation on the Web browser screen, which is a 2D plane, and is roughly divided into a 3D sales transaction visualization map and a 3D purchase transaction visualization map. Is done.

FIG. 3 exemplifies a three-dimensional sales transaction visualization map 20 displayed on the Web browser of the client terminal 16, and a spherical central symbol indicating the presence of the selected company on the map plane 22 in the three-dimensional space. 24 and a dot-like sales destination symbol 26 indicating the presence of a plurality of sales destination companies outside the area.
The above "outside the region" refers to the region other than the prefecture where the selected company is located, and here the selected company is a company in Hokkaido, so the sales company located outside the road is represented as the sales destination symbol 26. ing.

The user moves the viewpoint up / down / left / right by dragging or rotating the wheel using the input device such as a mouse on the three-dimensional sales transaction visualization map 20 displayed on the web browser of the client terminal 16. -It can be moved back and forth and the display area can be enlarged or reduced.
These controls are realized by control codes embedded in the web page.

As shown in FIG. 4, the center symbol 24 is arranged at a predetermined altitude above the location 28 of the selected company on the map plane 22.
In contrast, the sales destination symbol 26 is arranged at an altitude of 0 at the location of each sales destination company on the map plane 22.

Around the central symbol 24 of the selected company, a plurality of suction circles 30 corresponding to each sales destination symbol 26 are arranged.
Each suction circle 30 is connected to the sales destination symbol 26 by a suction line 32 formed of a straight line.

As shown in the partial enlarged views of FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b), each suction circle 30 is superimposed on a basic line 34 composed of a solid line drawn in a relatively thin and thin color, and on this basic line 34. And a plurality of broken lines 36 drawn in a relatively thick and dark color.
Each broken line 36 is actually expressed so as to move in a certain direction (for example, the right direction) along the basic line 34 at a certain speed.
Further, the width of each broken line 36 is set to be relatively large according to the transaction amount between the selected company and the sales company (details will be described later).

Each suction line 32 is also compared with a basic line 38 drawn in a comparatively thin and thin color and superimposed on this basic line 38, as shown in the partially enlarged views of FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b). It is composed of a plurality of broken lines 40 drawn with a thick and dark color, and each broken line 40 is expressed so as to move from the ground surface toward the sky at a constant speed.
The width of each broken line 40 is set so as to increase according to the transaction amount between the selected company and the sales company (details will be described later).

For convenience of illustration, in the drawings other than FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, only broken lines are shown, and the basic lines are not shown.
Moreover, about the movement of a broken line, the direction is shown by the arrow.

FIG. 7 is an enlarged view schematically showing a connection state between the suction circle 30 and the suction line 32, and a broken line 40 that has moved up the suction line 32 when viewed from above is a broken line 36 on the suction circle 30 side. The suction line 32 is connected to the suction circle 30 at a position where it seems to smoothly merge with the flow of. However, the connection position between the suction line 32 and the suction circle 30 is not particularly limited.
Further, the radius of each suction circle 30 is set so as to become smaller according to the transaction amount between the selected company and the sales company (details will be described later).

Next, a procedure for generating the three-dimensional sales transaction visualization map 20 will be described according to the flowchart of FIG.
First, the AP server 14 arranges a spherical central symbol 24 representing the selected company at a predetermined altitude above the map plane 22 in the three-dimensional space (S10).

Next, the AP server 14 refers to the company DB 18 and the transaction DB 19 and extracts sales destination companies outside the selected company (S12).
Specifically, a company that satisfies the following conditions is a sales company.
(1) Being located in a prefecture other than Hokkaido where the selected company is located
(2) The company ID of the selected company is recorded in the “sales company” and transaction information in which the company ID of the company is recorded in the “sales company” is registered in the transaction DB 19

Next, the AP server 14 arranges a dot-shaped sales destination symbol 26 representing each sales destination company on the map plane 22 in the three-dimensional space at an altitude of 0 (S14).
The sales destination symbol 26 is arranged on the address ground of the sales destination company.

Next, the AP server 14 generates suction circles 30 corresponding to the number of each sales company (S16).
A smaller radius is assigned to these suction circles 30 as the relative transaction amount between each sales company and the selected company is larger, and a larger radius is assigned as the relative transaction amount is smaller.
As a result, the suction circle 30 of the client company with a large transaction amount is arranged in the vicinity of the central symbol 24 of the selected company, and the suction circle 30 of the client company with a small transaction amount is kept away from the central symbol 24.
The above “transaction amount” means the transaction amount within a preset period (for example, “2013 to 2018”) (the same applies hereinafter).

The radius of each suction circle 30 is determined according to the following formula 1, for example.
[Formula 1]
Radius = e + (r−e) × (1−t / max [T])
t: Transaction amount of one element included in the transaction amount set T (t> 0)
e: Minimum radius (constant)
r: Maximum radius (constant)
max [T]: Maximum value of elements included in transaction amount set T This radius allocation rule is merely an example, and does not preclude the application of other rules. In short, the size of the transaction amount of each sales company may be expressed by the radius of the suction circle 30.

Each suction circle 30 includes a broken line 36 having a width corresponding to the transaction amount between each sales company and the selected company as described above.
There is no particular limitation on the method of assigning the width (line segment length) of each broken line 36. For example, each width is determined according to Equation 2 below.
[Formula 2]
Width = f + (s−f) × t / max [T]
t: Transaction amount of one element included in the transaction amount set T (t> 0)
f: Minimum width (constant)
s: Maximum width (constant)
max [T]: the maximum value of the elements included in the transaction amount set T

  Next, the AP server 14 arranges each suction circle 30 concentrically at the same altitude as the central point of the central symbol 24 (S18).

Next, the AP server 14 connects each suction circle 30 and the sales destination symbol 26 with a straight suction line 32 (S20).
Similar to the suction circle 30, the suction line 32 includes a broken line 40 having a width corresponding to the transaction amount between each sales company and the selected company.
The width of each broken line 40 is obtained by applying, for example, a mathematical expression similar to the broken line width of the suction circle 30 described above.

FIG. 9 exemplifies a three-dimensional purchase transaction visualization map 50, and includes an intra-region purchase cluster 52 and a ripple effect contour (economic contour) 54.
First, the regional purchase cluster 52 will be described. On the map plane 22 in the three-dimensional space, a spherical central symbol 24 indicating the presence of the selected company and a spherical shape indicating the presence of a plurality of supplier companies in the region. The supplier symbol 56 is arranged.
“Inside” refers to the prefecture where the selected company is located. Here, the selected company is a company in Hokkaido, and therefore, the supplier company located in the area is represented as a supplier symbol 56.

The central symbol 24 is arranged at a predetermined altitude above the location 28 of the selected company on the map plane 22 as described above.
On the other hand, the supplier symbol 56 is arranged above the supplier company's location 58 on the map plane 22 at an altitude corresponding to each affected transaction amount.
The “influenced transaction amount” will be described in detail later.
Further, the size of each supplier symbol 56 is not uniform, and has a radius corresponding to the amount of each affected transaction.

Each supplier company is classified as follows based on the business relationship with the selected company.
(1) Primary supplier company: a company that uses the selected company as the direct supplier (sales destination)
(2) Secondary supplier company: A company that uses the primary supplier company as the direct supplier (sales destination)
(3) Tertiary supplier companies: Companies that have secondary suppliers as direct suppliers (sales partners)
・
・
・
(n) n-order supplier companies: companies with n-1 primary supplier companies as direct suppliers (sales destinations) Among these, (1) is “direct purchase of selected companies” It corresponds to a “prior company”, and (2) to (n) correspond to “an indirect supplier company of the selected company”.

Among the supplier symbols 56, those related to the primary supplier company that has a direct business relationship with the selected company are connected to the central symbol 24 through a curved distribution line 60.
On the other hand, with respect to the remaining supplier companies, the supplier symbols 56 of companies that have a direct business relationship with each other are connected by a curved distribution line 60.

In this way, as a result of connecting the symbols of companies with direct transactions with distribution lines 60, as shown in FIG. 10, from the selected company to the primary supplier company → secondary supplier company → third supplier company ... → A regional purchasing cluster 52 having a hierarchical structure connected to the n-th supplier company is formed.
The level to which the supplier company descends will be described later.

Each distribution line 60 includes a basic line 62 drawn in a relatively thin and thin color and a comparison overlaid on the basic line 62, as shown in the enlarged partial views of FIGS. 11 (a) and 11 (b). It is composed of a plurality of broken lines 64 drawn in a thick and dark color, and each broken line 64 is expressed so as to move one after another from the sky toward the ground surface at a constant speed.
Further, the width of each broken line 64 is set so as to increase according to the amount of influence transaction between the selected company and the supplier company (details will be described later).
For convenience of illustration, in the drawings other than FIG. 11, only the broken line 64 is shown, and the basic line is not shown. The direction of the movement of the broken line 64 is indicated by an arrow.

Next, although partially overlapping with the above-described content, a procedure for generating the intra-region purchase cluster 52 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
First, the AP server 14 places a spherical central symbol 24 representing the selected company at a predetermined altitude above the map plane 22 in the three-dimensional space (S30).

Next, the AP server 14 refers to the company DB 18 and the transaction DB 19 and extracts primary to n-order supplier companies in the area of the selected company (S32).
That is, the AP server 14 extracts a company that satisfies the following conditions as a primary supplier company.
(1) Being located in Hokkaido where the selected company is located
(2) The company ID of the selected company is recorded as the “sales company”, and transaction information in which the company ID of the company is recorded as the “sales company” is registered in the transaction DB 19

Next, the AP server 14 extracts a company that satisfies the following conditions as a secondary supplier company.
(1) Being located in Hokkaido where the selected company is located
(2) The company ID of the primary supplier company is recorded as the “sales company”, and transaction information in which the company ID of the company is recorded as the “sales company” is registered in the transaction DB 19 about

Next, the AP server 14 extracts companies that satisfy the following conditions as tertiary suppliers.
(1) Being located in Hokkaido where the selected company is located
(2) The transaction information in which the company ID of the secondary supplier company is recorded as the “sales company” and the company ID of the company as the “sales company” is recorded in the transaction DB 19. Being
The AP server 14 repeats the same processing as described above to extract the fourth to nth supplier companies.

Next, the AP server 14 calculates the influence transaction amount of each supplier company (S34).
In other words, the transaction amount between the selected company and the primary supplier company can be obtained directly by referring to the transaction DB 19, but the primary supplier company is generally sold to companies other than the selected company. Therefore, in order to estimate the influence of the selected company on the primary supplier company, it is desirable to consider the sales amount of the primary supplier company to other companies.
In addition, since the secondary supplier company usually sells to other than the primary supplier company, all of the transaction amount between the primary supplier company and the secondary supplier company is selected by the selected company. It is not appropriate to consider it as an effect.

Therefore, in this system 10, the concept of “influenced transaction amount (weighted transaction amount)” is introduced to estimate the economic influence of the selected company.
By using the concept of “influenced transaction amount” in this way, it is possible to assume the economic impact of the selected company even for lower-tier supplier companies that do not have a direct business relationship with the selected company. .

This influential transaction amount is derived by, for example, the following formula, but the influential transaction amount can also be obtained by applying other mathematical formulas and rules (other calculation examples for obtaining the influential transaction amount will be described later). .
■ Affected transaction amount = A x (A ÷ B)
A: Amount of transaction between a specific selling company and a selling company B: Total amount of transactions for all selling companies by the above selling company (including A)
As described above, “sales company” is synonymous with “supplier company”, and “sales company” is synonymous with “supplier company”.

Hereinafter, according to FIG. 13, the influence transaction amount will be specifically described.
First, if the primary supplier company sells 10 million yen parts to the selected company, the selected company will pay 10 million yen to the primary supplier company. However, since the primary supplier sells a total of 90 million yen to companies A to C, the influence transaction amount of the selected company is reduced from the payment amount by the following formula.
■ 10 million yen × (10 million yen ÷ 10 million yen) = 1 million yen

Also, if the secondary supplier sells 5 million yen worth of material to the primary supplier, 5 million yen will be paid from the primary supplier to the secondary supplier. On the other hand, since the secondary supplier sells a total of 20 million yen to the companies D to F, the influence transaction amount of the primary supplier is reduced to 1 million yen by the following formula. The
■ 5 million yen × (5 million yen ÷ 25 million yen) = 1 million yen

Furthermore, if the tertiary supplier sells 2.5 million yen parts to the secondary supplier, 2.5 million yen will be paid from the secondary supplier to the tertiary supplier. Since the supplier sells a total of 22.5 million yen to the companies GI, the influence transaction amount of the primary supplier is reduced to 250,000 yen according to the following formula.
■ 2.5 million yen × (2.5 million yen ÷ 25 million yen) = 250,000 yen

  In addition, if the hierarchy of the in-region purchase cluster 52 becomes too deep, the number of supplier symbols 56 to be displayed becomes enormous, so that the visibility of the in-region purchase cluster 52 is maintained at a certain level. It is necessary to stop deepening the hierarchy.

For this reason, in this system 10, a rule is adopted in which, when the affected transaction amount falls below a predetermined threshold value, the supplier below it is rounded down.
If this threshold is set to “500,000 yen”, for example, the influence transaction amount between the secondary supplier company and the tertiary supplier company in FIG. 13 is “250,000 yen”, which is below the threshold value. The company is not included in the regional purchasing cluster 52.

Next, the AP server 14 generates spherical supplier symbols 56 corresponding to the primary to n-order supplier companies, and arranges them on the map plane 22 in the three-dimensional space (S36).
At this time, each central symbol is generated and arranged according to the following conditions.
(a) Provide a radius according to the amount of the affected transaction
(b) Be placed at a high level according to the amount of the affected transaction

The radius according to the influence transaction amount is determined according to, for example, Equation 2 above.
However, t, f, s, and max [T] are read as follows.
t: Affected transaction amount of one element included in the set T of affected transaction amounts (t> 0)
f: Minimum radius (constant)
s: Maximum radius (constant)
max [T]: the maximum value of the elements included in the set T of the influence transaction amount

Further, the altitude corresponding to the affected transaction amount is also determined according to, for example, the above formula 2.
In this case, t, f, s, and max [T] are read as follows.
t: Affected transaction amount of one element included in the set T of affected transaction amounts (t> 0)
f: Minimum altitude (constant)
s: Maximum altitude (constant)
max [T]: the maximum value of the elements included in the set T of the influence transaction amount

Next, the AP server 14 connects the central symbols of companies having a business relationship with the curved distribution line 60 (S38).
As described above, the distribution line 60 is provided with a broken line 64 having a width corresponding to the influence transaction amount between companies.

The width of each broken line 64 is determined, for example, according to Equation 2 above.
In this case, t, f, s, and max [T] are read as follows.
t: Affected transaction amount of one element included in the set T of affected transaction amounts (t> 0)
f: Minimum width (constant)
s: Maximum width (constant)
max [T]: the maximum value of the elements included in the set T of the influence transaction amount

  Next, the ripple effect contour line 54 is explained. This is a three-dimensional contour line showing how much economic effect is produced in which area in the area due to the amount of money the selected company has attracted from outside the area. It is.

Hereinafter, the procedure for generating the ripple effect contour 54 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
First, the AP server 14 divides the area into a plurality of blocks (mesh) having a certain area (S40).
Next, the AP server 14 accumulates the influence transaction amount of each supplier company located in each block (S42).
Next, the AP server 14 inputs the integrated value for each block into the library for kernel density estimation to generate the ripple effect contour line 54 and arranges it on the map plane 22 in the three-dimensional space (S44).

As shown in FIG. 15, this ripple effect contour 54 expresses the economic benefits (impact) from the selected companies received by each supplier company in the block as a geographical density distribution. is there.
In other words, how many supplier companies exist in a specific region in the region, or the amount of the influence transaction amount of each supplier company is expressed by the regional purchase cluster 52, but it is selected. This ripple effect contour line 54 is useful for intuitively recognizing the distribution of geographical influence by a company.

In the above, for convenience of explanation, the 3D sales transaction visualization map 20 and the 3D purchase transaction visualization map 50 have been described separately. However, the 3D sales transaction visualization map 20 and the 3D purchase transaction visualization map 50 Naturally, it is possible to simultaneously display the incoming cluster 52 and the ripple effect contour line 54) in the same three-dimensional space.
In this case, the central symbol 24 of the selected company is shared by the three-dimensional sales transaction visualization map 20 and the three-dimensional purchase transaction visualization map 50.

16 and 17 show an actual example.
In this way, by displaying the 3D sales transaction visualization map 20 and the 3D purchase transaction visualization map 50 in the same 3D space, the money pulled by the selected company from outside the region is distributed to the companies in the region. It is possible to overlook the appearance of being done.

  In the above, an example in which the suction circle 30, the suction line 32, and the distribution line 60 are all expressed by a line in which a broken line is superimposed on a basic line made of a solid line is shown, but the basic line is omitted and only the broken line is drawn 30, the suction line 32 and the distribution line 60 may be expressed.

Next, another method for calculating the “influenced transaction amount” used when generating the intra-regional purchase cluster 52 and another method for selecting primary to n-order supplier companies will be described with reference to FIG.
First, the AP server 14 refers to the company DB 18 and the transaction DB 19 and extracts a primary supplier company in the area of the selected company.
Specifically, a company that satisfies the following conditions (1) to (3) is extracted as a primary supplier company.
(1) Being located in the same prefecture as the selected company
(2) The company ID of the selected company is recorded as the “sales company”, and transaction information in which the company ID of the company is recorded as the “sales company” is registered in the transaction DB 19
(3) Whether the transaction amount of the selected company and the company occupies a specified percentage or specified in the specific credit report as the supplier of the selected company. This is determined, for example, by whether or not the following mathematical formula is satisfied.
■ Transaction amount with selected company / Total sales of the company> 0.5%

A company that satisfies the conditions (1) to (3) (for example, company A) is recognized as a primary supplier company by the AP server 14, and the transaction amount α1 with the selected company is directly “influenced transaction amount”. Certified.
In addition, in order to avoid redundant certification as a secondary or subsequent supplier company for a supplier company that has been certified as a primary supplier company, it is included in the exclusion target DB (database) 66 as an exclusion target company. The company ID is registered.

Next, the AP server 14 refers to the company DB 18 and the transaction DB 19 and extracts a secondary supplier company in the area of the selected company.
Specifically, a company that satisfies the following conditions (1) to (4) is extracted as a secondary supplier company.
(1) Being located in the same prefecture as the selected company
(2) Not registered as an excluded company in the excluded DB66
(3) The business ID of any primary supplier company is recorded as the “sales company”, and the transaction information in which the company ID of the company is recorded as the “sales company” is registered in the transaction DB 19 is being done
(4) Affected transaction amount is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold value The affected transaction amount is derived, for example, by the following formula.
■ Affected transaction amount = C x (D ÷ E)
C: Transaction amount between the selected company and the primary supplier company D: Transaction amount between the secondary supplier candidate company and the primary supplier company E: Each secondary supplier by the primary supplier company Total amount of transactions with candidate companies (including D)
As for the company B in the figure, C corresponds to α1, D corresponds to β2, and E corresponds to “β1 + β2 + β3 + β4”.

A company that satisfies the conditions (1) to (4) is recognized as a secondary supplier company of the selected company by the AP server 14, and the amount calculated in (4) is the value of the secondary supplier. It is certified as the amount of business influence.
In addition, for a supplier company that has been certified as a secondary supplier company, in order to avoid being redundantly recognized as a third-party supplier company or later, the company ID in the exclusion target DB 66 is the exclusion target company. It is additionally registered.

Next, the AP server 14 refers to the company DB 18 and the transaction DB 19 and extracts a tertiary supplier company in the area of the selected company.
Specifically, companies that satisfy the following conditions (1) to (4) are extracted as tertiary suppliers.
(1) Being located in the same prefecture as the selected company
(2) Not registered as an excluded company in the excluded DB66
(3) The transaction ID in which the company ID of any secondary supplier company is recorded as the “sales company” and the company ID of the company as the “sales company” is recorded in the transaction DB 19. Be registered
(4) The impact transaction amount is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold. The impact transaction amount is derived, for example, by the following formula.
■ Affected transaction amount = F x (G / H)
F: Transaction amount between a primary supplier company and a secondary supplier company G: Transaction amount between a tertiary supplier candidate company and a secondary supplier company H: Each of the secondary supplier companies Total transaction amount for third-party suppliers (including G)
In the case of the company 中 in the figure, F corresponds to β2, G corresponds to γ4, and H corresponds to “γ1 + γ2 + γ3 + γ4”.

A company that satisfies the conditions (1) to (4) is certified as the third supplier company of the selected company by the AP server 14, and the amount calculated in (4) is the amount of the third supplier company. It is recognized as an impact transaction amount.
In addition, for a supplier company that is certified as a third-party supplier company, in order to avoid being redundantly recognized as a supplier company after the fourth order, the company ID is included in the exclusion target DB 66 as an exclusion target company. It is additionally registered.

  By repeating the same processing as described above, the AP server 14 specifies an n-th (for example, twentieth) supplier company and calculates the amount of each affected transaction.
