Description

The present invention relates to an evaluation of the inventive ability of an individual natural person or an individual artificial intelligence or an individual group of natural persons or an individual group of artificial intelligence or an individual group of a natural person and an artificial intelligence as a member, and an application system thereof.

With the progress of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, IoT (Internet of Things), artificial intelligence, robots, and 3D printers are about to permeate various fields of society. Governments of each country, including the Government of Japan and the Government of the United States, are also trying to develop their own industries by actively advancing the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Due to these movements, many intellectual labors carried out by humans will inevitably be transferred to artificial intelligence and robots.
In addition, as shown in Maslow's five-step theory of desire, human beings have the desire for self-actualization and creativity as the highest-level desire.

As a result of the progress of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the improvement of the human desire stage, the labor that human beings should bear will shift to the field that requires greater creativity. Areas that require greater creativity include science / technology and product / service research and development, arts, interpersonal communication, and strategic planning in management, administration, military, and politics.

Such trends are due to the need to strengthen and nurture the ability to execute inventions (invention ability), which is the center of creation in the fields of science and technology and research and development of products and services, and people with high invention ability and artificial intelligence. It brings about an increasing need for intelligence selection.

In order to appropriately strengthen and nurture invention ability and select people with high invention ability and artificial intelligence, the evaluation value obtained by objective invention ability evaluation is used as a management index to strengthen invention ability. It is necessary to properly manage the process of training and the process of selecting people with high invention ability and artificial intelligence.

In order to actually carry out the invention ability evaluation for such management, it is necessary to satisfy all of the following conditions 1 to 3 at the same time.
Condition 1: Inventive ability evaluation is performed within a reasonable range of time compared to one execution time of activities performed using the results of invention ability evaluation (eg, activities for strengthening / nurturing invention ability, invention activity). What you can do.
Condition 2: The cost of the invention ability evaluation is within a reasonable range compared to the one-time cost of the activity (eg, the activity of strengthening / nurturing the invention ability, the invention activity) performed using the result of the invention ability evaluation. There is.
Condition 3: A stage before the invention can be expressed as a claim (example: extraction of problems in the prior art, understanding of the cause of the problem, setting of a problem to be solved based on the cause, and means for solving the problem. It is possible to evaluate the ability to invent even if it has reached only the stage of creation of the essential action of.

That is, an invention ability evaluation that provides a management index that can be practically used will be required in the future.
The following is a conventional technique that can be used as a reference for the method of evaluating the ability to invent.

● About Non-Patent Document 1:
Non-Patent Document 1 is a systematic book representing Japan on creation in invention and technological development, and is mainly composed of equivalent transformation creation theory. In particular, in Chapter 1, the sections "Characteristics of human brain suitable for creative activities" and "Human conditions that development engineers should have" are important from the viewpoint of evaluation of invention ability.
In the section "Characteristics of the human brain suitable for creative activities", pages 29 to 30 classify the methods of calling accumulated information in the human brain into the following three patterns, and evaluate the ability to invent. It will be a reference for the method.
In the first pattern, all the information that has been taken into the memory is recorded mechanically unprocessed in chronological order, and some accidental information stimulus triggers it. It is a pattern in which the stored memories are reproduced in chronological order.
In the second pattern, the individual information taken in is not recorded in the brain as it is, but is processed into more abstract and general information by a so-called conceptualization method. It is a way to reassemble this in a pyramid shape step by step. When recalling or applying an established intellectual system within its framework, high performance that cannot be compared appears. However, in general, no information with creative content can be found.
In the third pattern, as seen in the second pattern, the information taken in from the outside forms a roughly pyramid-shaped hierarchical structure. However, the upper stage of the pyramid system abstracted from the ingested information is not only meaningful for the search route in the vertical direction above and below, as seen in the second pattern, but also the content restrictions and individual information. There is another information retrieval route that allows you to move laterally between the upper stages, overcoming the peculiarities of the above. A new thinking route with equivalence as a vine, which allows both to freely come and go through any thinking viewpoint, while those that are unlikely to be related from the categories of the previous classification. It is a pattern with. It is a pattern that has the potential to produce free ideas (information processing activities) that overcome the principles and restrictions of intellectual experience that have already been adopted.

Furthermore, in "Human conditions that development engineers should have", the outline of creative human beings is listed in the following nine items, which can be used as a reference for the method of evaluating the ability to invent.
(1) High spontaneity in labor. (Establishment of independence)
(2) See things from a new perspective. (Change of perspective or freedom of perspective)
(3) Grasp the root of things, not the end nodes of the branches and leaves. (Understanding the essence)
(4) Look at things on a long scale. (Overview)
(5) Sensitivity to the passage of time. (Excellent sense of the times)
(6) A spirit that does not meet the current situation. (Creative Romanticism)
(7) Don't worry about authority. (Non-authoritarianism)
(8) Longing for newness. (Strong curiosity)
(9) Heat stroke and sustainability for work. (So-called guts)

Also, in the section "Road to Equivalent Transformation Theory as Creative Engineering Theory" in Chapter 1, "Conversely, abstract work is not performed or insufficient disposal from this certain point of view. As it is, when the hint is made into an idea, it falls into the analogy thinking as a typical imitation thinking. Here, the self peculiar to the information processing work vaguely called the analogy. There is a lurking attachment. ”, Explaining the drawbacks of analogy thinking as an invention idea method and the superiority of the equivalent transformation theory that overcomes it.
Then, in Chapter 4, "Contents of Equivalent Conversion Thinking Flow Chart as Thinking Program (ET Thinking Flow Chart) for short, ET Diagram", the following thinking procedure is the mainstream and its surroundings. The procedure for branching and feedback is arranged in.
(1)': Experience or target that created the problem (1): Raising the problem (setting goals)
(2): Establishment of viewpoint by extracting essential aspects for achieving goals (3): Essential function of extracted problem solving (4): Group of starting system with the essential function of extracted problem solving in mind Select an event that seems to have good performance from the perspective.
(5): Selected starting system (6): Analyze the selected starting system in detail and confirm general limiting conditions (7): Essential function of problem solving and set of limiting conditions (8): Combine the specialized condition group of the selected system from various angles with respect to the set of the essential function of problem solving and the limited condition (9): Test the degree of agreement with the goal (10): Set the goal Creation of a satisfying reach system

● About Non-Patent Document 2:
Non-Patent Document 2 describes in detail the whole of Triz (theory of invention problem solving) and systematically describes a creative way of thinking. In Chapter 2, the systematic creativity process consists of four steps: (1) defining the problem, (2) selecting the tool, (3) generating the solution, and (4) evaluating the solution. It consists of two steps. In Chapter 3, the systematic creativity process provided by TRIZ transforms "specific problem" into "generalized problem of TRIZ" and generates "generalized solution of TRIZ" to solve the problem. , It is said that it is a process of converting "generalized solution of TRIZ" into "specific solution". However, it is difficult to convert "generalized solution of TRIZ" to "specific solution" by the general method, so for each type of problem / opportunity situation, various types suitable for the situation. Provides problem-solving tools for. Table 9.1 of Chapter 9 shows a summary table of tool selection.
In Non-Patent Document 2, there is no direct description of the method for evaluating the ability to invent, but it seems that there is a premise that the ability to invent is improved by learning and practicing TRIZ.

● About Non-Patent Document 3:
Non-Patent Document 3 describes how Atsushi, a boy who is the main character, improves his invention ability in the process of becoming a junior high school student, a high school student, a university student, and then a member of society from the third grade of elementary school. A concrete description of training for improving the ability to invent is described. Furthermore, the invention idea technique is systematically explained in detail. However, there is no specific description of the method for evaluating the ability to invent.

● Non-Patent Document 4 is configured to simply analyze a claim, decompose it into components, and provide information such as a connection relationship between the components and an evaluation value of the claim. Further, in Non-Patent Document 4, when "display the source of the page" is performed, the source code in the programming language called Javascript (registered trademark) is displayed. It shows a technique for analyzing a character string of one claim, decomposing it into components, and detecting the connection relationship between the components and the evaluation value of the claim.

● In Non-Patent Document 5, claims are evaluated using the results of automatically decomposing claims into components by character string analysis of claims in the form of independent claims and analyzing the input / output relationships between the components. An algorithm for calculating the value is shown. The features used for calculating the evaluation value and the algorithm are as follows.
p1: Number of components
p2: String length in the component with the maximum string length
p3: Number of isolated elements
p4: Number of terminal elements
p5: Number of connected subgraphs
p6: Number of intermediate elements

The deduction part is calculated using these features.

mscore1 = max (p1-5,0) * 2; // The number of components exceeding 5 is deducted.
mscore2 = max (p2-50,0) * 0.2; // Deduct points for the existence of components that exceed 50 characters.
mscore3 = p3 * 10; // Deduct points proportional to the number of isolated elements.
mscore3 = mscore3 + max (p4-1,0) * 20; // Add deductions for two or more terminating elements.
mscore3 = mscore3 + max (p5-1,0) * 20 + max (p6-3,0) * 5; // Add points for two or more connected subgraphs and four or more intermediate elements.

Calculate the comprehensive evaluation value by surface analysis.
totalscore = max (100 --mscore1-mscore2-mscore3,0); // The deduction part is subtracted from the maximum score of 100 points, but the lowest score is 0 points.

● About Patent Document 1:
Patent Document 1 describes a specific method for evaluating the invention ability of an individual inventor using the evaluation value of the patent right in column 0078.
Column 0078: The inventor evaluation unit 136 calculates the inventor evaluation value by the inventor evaluation function (IF) with the accumulated technical evaluation value as a variable. Since the cumulative technical evaluation value is calculated based on the technical evaluation value, it can be said that the inventor evaluation function (IF) is a function with the technical evaluation value as a variable. In the case of the inventor (ID: 1), the inventor evaluation value (= 74) of the inventor (ID: 1) is calculated based on the accumulated technical evaluation value group (147, 202, 180, ..., 37). To.
In column 0075, there is also an explanation that "the cumulative technical evaluation value is the cumulative value of the technical evaluation value calculated from the inventor's past patent rights and the like."

● About Patent Document 2:
Patent Document 2 describes the mechanism of artificial intelligence that creates an invention. The mechanism is based on the hypothesis (invention principle) that the invention is carried out in the next step. However, there is no description about the method of evaluating the ability to invent.
First step Assuming what the device with the new function should be, in other words, the required inputs and outputs.
Second step By intensively thinking about the desired input and output, a place for simulating the relationship between the input and output is temporarily self-organized in the human right brain. This field is called the Kansei field, and the Kansei field is a spatial distribution of synaptic connection strength coefficients (synaptic weights), which are connections between neurons in the right brain, and expresses information processing functions.
Third step Pattern recognition is performed using the sensibility field as the pattern to be recognized in the part other than the sensibility field in the right brain.
Step 4 Local part of the Kansei field The local part of the Kansei field is forcibly applied to the pattern of the most similar known basic function block in the distribution of the known basic function block with respect to the local part pattern of the Kansei field. Replace the pattern with the pattern of its similar basic functional block. Then go back to the second step and perform self-organization again. As a result, if the Kansei field is represented by a combination of known basic functional blocks, the creation of the new functional device is completed.

Patent Document 1 evaluates the invention ability of the inventor of the invention by using the result of evaluating the registered patent after the invention is registered as a patent right. This method does not satisfy the above-mentioned condition 1 because it requires at least a time until the examination result at the JPO is obtained. Considering the application cost, examination request cost, and intermediate processing cost, it is highly possible that the above-mentioned condition 2 is not satisfied in some cases.

Non-Patent Document 1, Non-Patent Document 2, Non-Patent Document 3, and Patent Document 2 describe the thinking procedure of invention idea and the mechanism of the system capable of invention idea, but the method of evaluating the invention ability is described. There is no description.
Non-Patent Documents 4 and 5 show techniques for structural analysis of claims and calculation of evaluation values of claims, but there is no description of a method for evaluating the ability to invent.

With the prior art, it has not been possible to create an invention ability evaluation value that can be used as a management index for appropriately strengthening and nurturing invention ability and selecting people with high invention ability and artificial intelligence.

An object to be solved by the present invention is to provide an objective means for evaluating invention ability that simultaneously satisfies all of the following conditions 1 to 3.
Condition 1: Inventive ability evaluation is performed within a reasonable range of time compared to one execution time of activities performed using the results of invention ability evaluation (eg, activities for strengthening / nurturing invention ability, invention activity). What you can do.
Condition 2: The cost of the invention ability evaluation is within a reasonable range compared to the one-time cost of the activity (eg, the activity of strengthening / nurturing the invention ability, the invention activity) performed using the result of the invention ability evaluation. There is.
Condition 3: A stage before the invention can be expressed as a claim (example: extraction of problems in the prior art, understanding of the cause of the problem, setting of a problem to be solved based on the cause, and means for solving the problem. Being able to evaluate the ability to invent even if it has reached only the stage of creation of the essential action of.

Before explaining the means for evaluating the ability to invent as a means for solving the problem of the present invention, the means for evaluating the ability will be examined as a general theory.

● General examination of ability evaluation It is considered that there are four types of ability evaluation means, E1 to E4, shown below.
E1: Evaluate the ability-demonstrating subject using the evaluation value of the ability-demonstrating product.
E2: Evaluate the ability-demonstrating entity using the evaluation values of the internal mechanism of the ability-demonstrating entity and the mechanism of cooperation with the outside.
(Note) “Mechanism” means both the connection relationship of objects and the execution order of processing. That is, it means the connection structure in the space-time of the function.
E3: Inputs given externally to the ability-demonstrating subject in order to demonstrate the ability (eg, time, information, energy) within the range where the premise that the deliverable of the ability-demonstrating is above a certain level is established. , Effort) Based on the type and amount of effort, the ability-demonstrating subject is evaluated.
E4: The wider the range of memorizing the knowledge that describes the method of demonstrating ability, the higher the evaluation value of the demonstrating ability subject is evaluated.

If the time and cost required for the ability evaluation by E1 are at a reasonable level, the ability evaluation by E1 is considered to be the best.
E2 performance evaluation by using the degree of matching the best mechanism for evaluation side is aware, it means performing capacity evaluation, a different mechanism is a mechanism to evaluate side is aware, valuable It will not be possible to properly evaluate the mechanism that brings about the deliverables.
Moreover, it is generally very difficult for the evaluator to know the internal mechanism of the ability exertor. In particular, there is currently no realistic way to know the mechanism in the brain other than by self-reporting the ability exertor. The use of the self-report of the person receiving the ability evaluation for the ability evaluation has a problem of reliability and can be used for the purpose of the subjective self-evaluation of the ability, but it is difficult to use for the objective evaluation.
The ability evaluation by E3 is a derivative of E1. Roughly evaluate the deliverables of ability exertion by the method of E1 within the range of use of time and cost below a reasonable level, and if the evaluation value of the deliverables is above a certain level, the ability exertor is externally evaluated. Based on the type and amount of given input (eg, time, information, energy, effort), the ability exertor is evaluated. Since the type and amount of input given from the outside can be objectively specified, it can be said that it is easy to perform a reliable and objective evaluation at a low cost and in a short time.
Ability evaluation by E4 has a problem that even if there is knowledge of how to demonstrate ability, the fact that the ability is low cannot be overcome unless the knowledge is used.

● Examination of Invention Ability Evaluation In the invention ability evaluation, Patent Document 1 corresponds to the above-mentioned E1, but the above-mentioned conditions 1 and 2 which are the conditions necessary for the invention ability evaluation are not satisfied, so that the method of Patent Document 1 is I can not use it.
In the evaluation of invention ability, Patent Document 2, Non-Patent Document 1, Non-Patent Document 2, and Non-Patent Document 3 correspond to the above-mentioned E2. Therefore, these are for the purpose of self-discipline by subjective self-evaluation of invention ability. Can be used, but it is difficult to use for objective evaluation, and it cannot be used for solving the problem to be solved by the present invention. The techniques according to Non-Patent Documents 4 and 5 are for superficial evaluation of the invention shown in the claims, but do not show the techniques for evaluating the ability to invent, and do not satisfy the above-mentioned condition 3. In the evaluation of invention ability by E4, it may bring an unreasonable result that a person who has knowledge but has never invented is evaluated higher than a person who has many inventions but does not have knowledge. Because it is, it cannot be used.
Examination of a patent application is carried out on the inventions described in the claims.
This is because Article 70 of the Patent Act stipulates that "the technical scope of a patented invention must be determined based on the description of the scope of claims attached to the application."
However, the ability to invent is not exhibited only at the stage of creation of the invention to be described within the scope of claims.
For example, "social movements that bring about new values", "values", "ideal state based on values", "conventional technology", "problems of conventional technology from the viewpoint of ideal state", "problems" Activities at each stage of creating information of the types of "cause", "problem to be solved based on the cause", "point of view for finding a solution to the problem", and "essential action of the solution obtained based on the viewpoint" , It is an activity that demonstrates the ability to invent.
This information is "invention intermediate information" that is often created as a preliminary step to the creation of the invention information expressed as a claim. Even when the invention intermediate information has only reached the stage of creation, it is necessary to be able to evaluate the invention ability of the creator.
Therefore, the ability to invent is evaluated by the following solution based on E3.

The means for solving the problem are the starting point information providing means for providing the starting point information which is the information that should be the starting point of the invention idea to the target person of the invention ability evaluation, and the target person creating using the starting point information. The idea information evaluation means that receives the idea information and evaluates it by a predetermined evaluation method to generate the idea information evaluation value, the idea information evaluation value, and the evaluation value given for each type of starting information in the invention creation model. It is an invention ability evaluation system equipped with an evaluation value calculation method for calculating an evaluation value of invention ability using an input including a certain starting point information evaluation value.

According to this configuration, if the subject of the invention ability evaluation exerts the invention ability based on the given starting point information and provides the idea information, the evaluation value of the invention ability is generated, so that the subject can use it. The invention ability evaluation value can be easily obtained.
In addition, for the side that evaluates the invention ability, the invention ability evaluation is not performed only by the idea information received from the subject of the invention ability evaluation, but the starting point information provided to the target person and used for demonstrating the invention ability. Since the evaluation value of the inventing ability is calculated by using the objective information, the following effects can be obtained.

1: Execute the invention ability evaluation within a reasonable range of time compared to the execution time of one activity (eg, activity for strengthening / nurturing invention ability, invention activity) performed using the result of invention ability evaluation. What you can do.
2: The cost of the invention ability evaluation is within a reasonable range compared to the one-time cost of the activity (eg, the activity of strengthening / nurturing the invention ability, the invention activity) performed using the result of the invention ability evaluation. thing.
3: The stage before the invention can be expressed as a claim (extracting problems in the prior art, grasping the cause of the problem, setting a problem to be solved based on the cause, and the essential action of the means for solving the problem). Being able to evaluate the ability to invent even if you have only reached the stage of creation).

In the present invention, since the invention ability is evaluated using the evaluation value of the idea information and the starting point information used for creating the idea information, all of the above-mentioned conditions 1 to 3 can be satisfied. As a result, the process of strengthening and nurturing the inventing ability and the process of selecting people with high inventing ability and artificial intelligence can be appropriately managed by using the invention ability evaluation value.

As mentioned in the column of means for solving the problem, the form for carrying out the invention provides the starting point information which is the information that should be the starting point of the invention idea to the subject of the invention ability evaluation. The providing means, the idea information evaluation means that receives the idea information created by the target person using the starting point information, evaluates it by a predetermined evaluation method, and generates the idea information evaluation value, the idea information evaluation value, and the like. It is provided with an evaluation value calculation means for calculating the evaluation value of the invention ability by using the input including the starting point information evaluation value which is the evaluation value given for each type of the starting point information in the invention creation model.

Regarding the components of this invention ability evaluation system, the structure of the invention ability evaluation system by combining and coordinating between the components, the action of the invention ability evaluation system which is the dynamic behavior of the structure, and the effect of the action. Matters not limited to a specific embodiment will be explained as clearly as possible in a superordinate concept.

● First, define and explain terms.
An "invention" is a technical idea created as a means of solving some problem, and does not have to satisfy the patent requirements.
The "starting point information" is information that should be the starting point of the invention idea, and is composed of "type of starting point information" and "contents of starting point information". As the types of starting point information, for example, according to the invention creation model 1 described later, "social movements that bring about new values", "values", "ideal state based on values", and "conventional technology". , "Problems of conventional technology from the viewpoint of ideal state", "Causes of problems", "Problems to be solved based on causes", "Viewpoints for finding problem solving means", "Solutions obtained based on viewpoints""Essential action of" corresponds to this. The "starting point information type" may be explicitly described, or may be expressed by predetermining the "starting point information type" for each position and order of the description of the "starting point information content". ..
"Invention ability" is the ability to create an invention, and it can be said that the invention ability is high if an invention can be made from information that is difficult to be the starting point of invention idea (eg, higher starting point information in the invention creation model). It can be said that the invention ability is high if a large number of inventions can be made within a certain period of time, and the invention ability is high if an invention including various application forms, embodiments and various evolutionary forms can be made.
An "invention ability evaluation target person" is a person who is subject to evaluation of the presence / absence, level, or type of invention ability, and is an individual natural person or an individual artificial intelligence or an individual group of natural persons or an individual group of artificial intelligence or a natural person. It is an individual group whose members are artificial intelligence.
"Invention information" is information expressing an invention, which can be expressed in the form of claims, in the form of a functional block diagram or flowchart, or in the form of a molecular formula, but is detailed enough to carry out the invention. It is not necessary to include specific design information in.
"Invention intermediate information" is information created in the creative thinking process in the intermediate stage before the invention information is created. When this invention intermediate information becomes the starting point for the creation of the invention intermediate information or the invention information in the next stage, it is used as the starting point information.
"Idea information" is invention intermediate information or invention information.
The "hint information" is the starting point information and supplementary information that supplements the starting point information.
The "evaluation value of invention ability" is the value of the result of evaluating the invention ability based on some evaluation method (example: evaluation function, evaluation system, evaluation computer program, casebook for evaluation), and is the value to be calculated. In some cases, it is expressed by a numerical value that can be expressed, and in other cases, it is expressed by a code indicating the order of superiority or inferiority.
The "invention creation model" is the information required as input for the first stage of thinking in the multi-stage thinking process until the invention information is created, and the next stage of thinking created by the subsequent stages of thinking. This is a model in which information that serves as input information for the above and invention information that is the final product are expressed as a series in the order of thinking stages. Various invention creation models can be considered, and two examples are shown below. (In the present specification, in the description of the invention creation model, Example 1 of the invention creation model is mainly used.)

Example of invention creation model 1: The starting point information is arranged in order from the top to the bottom, as follows.
"Social movements that bring about new values" ⇒ "Values" ⇒ "Ideal state based on values" ⇒ "Conventional technology" ⇒ "Problems of conventional technology from the viewpoint of ideal state" ⇒ "Causes of problems" ⇒ "Problems to be solved based on the cause" ⇒ "Viewpoint to find problem solving means" ⇒ "Essential action of the solution obtained based on the viewpoint" ⇒ "Invention information (invention information) which is a solution including the essential action (Sometimes it is just written as) "

Example of invention creation model 2: The starting point information is arranged in order from the top to the bottom, as follows.
"(1)': Experience or object that created the problem" ⇒ "(1): Problem or goal" ⇒ "(2): Perspective by extracting the essential aspects for achieving the goal" ⇒ "(3): Extraction""Essential function of problem solving" ⇒ "(4): An event that seems to have good performance selected from a group of starting systems from a broad perspective, keeping in mind the extracted essential function of problem solving" ⇒ "(5) ): Selected starting system ⇒ "(6): General limited conditions confirmed by analyzing the selected starting system in detail" ⇒ "(7): Essential function of problem solving and limited condition set ⇒ "(8): Invention information candidate obtained by combining the specialized condition group of the selected system from various angles with respect to the set of the essential function of problem solving and the limited condition" ⇒ "(9) ): Invention information that is an achievement system that satisfies the goal created by testing the degree of agreement with the goal. "

● Next, the components of the invention ability evaluation system will be explained.

The "starting point information providing means" provides the starting point information, which is the information that should be the starting point of the invention idea, to the target person of the invention ability evaluation or the invention ability development. As a method of providing the starting point information, a method of selecting from a plurality of starting point information accumulated in advance by the evaluation target person and a method determined by a predetermined method from the plurality of starting point information accumulated in advance 1 A method of giving one starting point information to the evaluation target person and a method of synthesizing the starting point information by some kind of information processing and giving it to the evaluation target person can be considered.
By providing the starting point information together with all the starting point information positioned before the relevant starting point information in the invention creation model, it becomes easy to use as the starting point of the invention idea, so for the development of the invention ability of the beginner of the invention idea. Is desirable to provide such starting point information. Specifically, when providing the starting point information of "cause of a problem", "social movements that bring about new values", "values", and "values", which are positioned in the preceding stage of the invention creation model. It also provides "ideal state based on values", "conventional technology", and "problems of conventional technology from the viewpoint of ideal state".
However, for the purpose of evaluating the invention ability or strengthening the invention ability of an intermediate person or higher of the invention idea, the starting point information positioned before the relevant starting point information in the invention creation model is not given at all, and the starting point information is estimated by oneself. Or it is desirable to let them create.
In other words, to be more specific, when providing the starting point information of "cause of a problem", "social movements that bring about new values" and "values" are positioned in the preceding stage of the invention creation model. , "Ideal state based on values", "conventional technology", "problems of conventional technology from the viewpoint of ideal state" are not provided at all.

The “invention information receiving means” receives invention information expressing the invention created by the subject using the starting point information. The invention information may be received as character string information input by the evaluation target person from the keyboard, may be received as character string information obtained by voice recognition of the information input by the target person by voice, or may be received as a graphic. It may be received as information of a functional block diagram or a flowchart drawn by the inventor using a terminal, or may be received as data stored in some storage medium.

The "pass / fail determination means" determines pass / fail based on whether or not the invention information received by the invention information receiving means satisfies a predetermined evaluation criterion. The "evaluation standard" referred to here is, for example, an evaluation function, an evaluation system, and a collection of cases for evaluation. There can be various ways of thinking about setting evaluation criteria. For example, (1) if the combined structure of a plurality of technical means expressed by the invention information satisfies a predetermined condition, it is rejected, and if it is not satisfied, it is rejected, (2) in the invention information. If a non-technical term is not included in the invention, the invention is accepted, and if the invention information is included, the invention is rejected. If a document is detected, it will be rejected, and if it is not detected, it will be passed. (4) There is also a combination of (1) to (3) described above to determine pass / fail.

The "evaluation value generating means" outputs the evaluation value of the invention ability according to the type of the starting point information used by the subject of the invention ability evaluation as the starting point of the invention idea when the pass / fail judgment means determines that the invention is acceptable. As the types of starting point information, for example, if the invention creation model 1 is used, "social movements that bring about new values", "values", "ideal state based on values", "conventional technology", "ideal""Problems of conventional technology from the viewpoint of state", "Cause of problem", "Problem to be solved based on cause", "Viewpoint of finding solution to problem", "Essential action of solution obtained based on viewpoint" , "Invention which is a solution including an essential action" can be set. If the invention creation model 2 is used, it can be used as the starting information of another system.
The evaluation value of the invention ability according to the type of the starting point information is set by allocating points as follows, for example.
"Social movements that bring new values: 9 points", "Values: 8 points", "Ideal state based on values: 7 points", "Conventional technology: 6 points", "Conventional from the ideal state" Technical problems: 5 points, "Causes of problems: 4 points", "Problems to be solved based on causes: 3 points"
, "Viewpoint of finding problem-solving means: 2 points", "Essential action of solution means obtained based on viewpoint: 1 point"

In setting such an evaluation value, when the starting point information at a certain stage is provided, the next starting point information that is closer to the invention creation is created by the thinking stimulated by the starting point information, and the thinking gradually becomes. It is based on the invention creation model, which approaches the creation of invention information.

That is, among the starting point information of individual invention creation in the invention creation model, the farther the starting point information is from the individual invention information, the more common starting point information can be used for the creation of many inventions, so that the value in invention creation is high. , There are many difficulties in arriving from such origin information to more specific origin information. Therefore, it is based on the idea that it can be evaluated that the invention ability is high to be able to carry out an invention act using the starting point information which has such high value and is difficult to use for invention creation. Specifically, the ability to invent by being provided with "social movements that bring about new values" as starting information is provided with "essential action of the solution obtained from the viewpoint" as starting information. It is evaluated as a far higher level of invention ability than the ability to invent.

This is because, as can be seen from the invention creation model, the path from "social movements that bring about new values" to "inventions that are solutions that include essential actions" is from "values" to "points of view." There is a large distance of 9 steps after 8 steps to "essential action of the solution obtained based on", but from "essential action of the solution obtained based on the viewpoint" to "invention which is a solution including essential action" This is because there is only one step between the two.

The "invention information evaluation means" generates an evaluation value based on a predetermined evaluation standard of the invention information received by the invention information receiving means. As described in Non-Patent Document 4 and Non-Patent Document 5, a claim which is a kind of invention information is analyzed, decomposed into constituent elements, and then the connection relationship between the constituent elements is grasped. It is also possible to evaluate the connection relationship between various components and calculate the evaluation value.

The "evaluation value calculating means" calculates the evaluation value of the invention ability by using the evaluation value generated by the invention information evaluation means and the type of the starting point information. The higher the evaluation value generated by the invention information evaluation means and the farther the starting point information type is from the invention information in view of the invention creation model, the higher the invention ability evaluation value calculated by the evaluation value calculation means. ..

The evaluation performed when the evaluation target person creates one invention information based on the starting point information is the minimum unit of the invention ability evaluation. Rather than evaluating the invention ability of the person to be evaluated by only evaluating the invention ability in the creation of one invention information, the evaluation of the invention ability in the creation of each invention when a plurality of inventions are made under "various conditions". If the evaluation values are aggregated and the invention ability is comprehensively evaluated, the satisfaction of the evaluation value of the invention ability of the evaluation target person becomes higher.
As the "various conditions" referred to here, for example, conditions that can be realized as a combination of various selections for each of the following items (1) to (5) can be considered.

(1) Diversity of types of starting point information,
(2) Diversity in the field of invention,
(3) Diversity of the length of time available for making an invention,
(4) Diversity of the range of information that can be used to make an invention,
(5) Diversity of expression form of invention information

Under "various conditions", when the invention ability evaluation is performed multiple times by analyzing the process of creating invention information starting from the starting point information, the evaluation values of the invention ability evaluation at each time are aggregated and the invention ability is calculated. The following forms can be used as a method of calculating the comprehensive evaluation value of the above for the person to be evaluated for the ability to invent.

(1) The evaluation values of the invention ability evaluation at each time are totaled, and the total value is divided by the number of invention ability evaluations.
(2) Sum the remaining evaluation values excluding the highest value and the lowest value among the evaluation values of the invention ability evaluation at each time, and divide by the number of evaluation values used for the total.
(3) "Various conditions" are divided into conditions common to all the subjects of the invention ability evaluation (hereinafter referred to as "specified conditions") and conditions selected by the subjects (hereinafter referred to as "free conditions"). The evaluation value obtained by performing the invention ability evaluation in (1) or (2) above (hereinafter referred to as a specified item point) and the invention ability evaluation under free conditions are performed in (1) or (2) above. The obtained evaluation value (hereinafter referred to as free item score) is calculated as the total total score, and the total score is used as the total evaluation value of the subject of the invention ability evaluation.

First, the first embodiment will be described.
From here on, for the sake of simplification of the explanation, "ELISA" is used as a simple notation of the invention ability evaluation system. ELSIA is an abbreviation for "EvaLuation System of Invention Aptitude".

The configuration diagram of the entire ELSIA system shown in FIG. 1 will be described.
The entire ELSIA system is a system in which one or more ELSIA terminals 2 are connected to the ELSIA server 1 via the Internet.
The ELSIA server 1 is an HTML file (including a program written in a programming language called Javascript (registered trademark)) that is downloaded to the terminal and executed, and in this embodiment, the ELSIA software is 1-. It is held in one folder.
Further, the ELSIA server 1 is an HTML file (including a program written in a programming language called Javascript (registered trademark)) which is also downloaded to the terminal and executed, and in this embodiment, PCML_OPEN_EDITOR software is used. It is stored in the 1-1 folder.
A terminal in which the ELSIA software is downloaded and built in the terminal is referred to as an ELSIA terminal in this embodiment.
The ELSIA server 1 has a user information management table 1-2. The user information management table 1-2 includes a user ID and password required for user authentication in the access management unit 1-5 when the ELSIA terminal 2 used by the user accesses the ELSIA server 1. Personal information such as the user's name, contact address and email address is stored.
In the user information management table 1-2, the invention ability evaluation report 1-4 of the user and the invention ability evaluation data from the outside may also be recorded.
One or more idea sheets 1-3 are stored in the ELSIA server 1, and are downloaded to and used by the ELSIA terminal 2. As the idea sheet 1-3, the one received from the external ELISA terminal 2 may be added via the receiving processing unit 1-6.
The acceptance processing unit 1-6 can be used in the ELSIA server 1 to store the invention ability evaluation report 1-4 obtained from the ELSIA terminal 2 via the Internet. The invention ability evaluation report 1-4 is stored in correspondence with the user who is the target of the invention ability evaluation by using the user information management table 1-2.
The invention ability certification issuing unit 1-7 can also be provided in the ELSIA server 1.
When the invention ability certificate issuing unit 1-7 receives the "request for issuance of the invention ability certificate" from the user registered as a user, the invention ability certificate issuing unit 1-7 obtains the user's information by referring to the user information management table 1-2. Using the contents of the invention ability evaluation report of the user and the invention ability evaluation data from the outside obtained in this way, the invention ability possessed by the user is classified into "field" and "class" according to predetermined criteria and processing procedures. It is expressed by the combination of. For example, the indication "A field, first grade" is issued on the invention ability certificate (paper medium or digital information) together with information such as a name that identifies the user. If the certificate of invention ability is a paper medium, the signature of the issuer is put in, and if it is digital information, the digital signature is put in to prevent duplication and falsification. Accepting invention ability evaluation data from the outside The invention ability evaluation report of the user registered as a user on the ELSIA server 1 is received from an external organization via the unit 1-8, and the user information management table 1-2 It can also be stored in.

The internal configuration and operation of the ELSIA terminal 2 shown in FIG. 1 will be described.
A person who has registered as a user on the ELSIA server 1 performs an authentication act such as inputting a user ID and a password, and downloads the ELSIA software or the like from the ELSIA server 1 to a terminal operated by the user. If the ELSIA software is downloaded and the terminal can access the ELSIA server 1, it can be said to be the ELSIA terminal 2.
In this embodiment, the ELSIA software operates by using the function of the Web browser 2-2 that operates on the operating system 2-3, and is shown as 2-1 in FIG.
The ELSIA software talks with the user by using the input device group 2-6 and the communication device group 2-7 via the Web browser 2-2 and the operating system 2-3. However, the Idea Sheet1-3 is downloaded from the ELSIA server 1, and the user's invention ability evaluation is executed using it, the execution result is created as an invention ability evaluation report, and the execution result is created as a local file in the ELSIA terminal. Can be stored. Furthermore, it is also possible to create Idea sheet2-5, which is the starting point information of the new invention, and store it in a local file.
In the ELSIA terminal 2, the idea sheet2-5 and the invention ability evaluation report can be sent to the ELSIA server 1 as an attached file attached to an e-mail by the user's operation or by the upload operation.

A large number of ELSIA terminals 2 can be connected to the ELSIA server 1 via the Internet to perform various operations. For example, the idea sheet sent by one ELSIA terminal 2 to the ELSIA server 1 may be stored inside the ELSIA server 1 after being accepted by the ELSIA server 1, and may be accessed by the other ELSIA terminal 2. .. This also makes it possible for idea information to be distributed among a large number of users in the form of idea sheet. The function of the ELSIA server 1 to issue an invention ability certificate certifying the user's invention ability assists the user's activity when the user participates in various activities in which the invention ability is exhibited.
An inventor who has an inventor ability evaluation value of a predetermined level (eg, the highest level 1 when the inventor ability evaluation level is set in three stages of 1st grade, 2nd grade, and 3rd grade) establishes a communication network. Idea sheets can also be distributed to a network of inventors who can communicate with each other via the network. Specifically, the acceptance processing unit 1-6 of the ELSIA server 1 controls so that the idea sheet is accepted only from the user whose invention ability is first-class, and is stored in the ELSIA server 1 in this way. The idea sheet controls the access control 1-5 so that it can be accessed only by a user whose invention ability is first-class. By doing so, it is possible to form and operate a network of inventor-capable persons who have extremely high inventive ability, centering on the ELSIA server 1. If starting information such as a problem that requires problem solving is input to this network, it is very likely that an epoch-making solution will be created as invention information in a short period of time. It can be said that the value is extremely high.

Next, the internal configuration and operation of the ELSIA function of the ELSIA terminal 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
The HTML file of ELSIA downloaded from the ELSIA server 1 operates by forming the ELSIA Window2-1-A on the Web browser of the ELSIA terminal 2. Then, this Window operates as a Window object in a program described in Javascript (registered trademark) described in the HTML file (hereinafter, referred to as a program in ELSIA).
In this embodiment, each window shown in FIG. 2 is realized by a large number of functional elements realized by a program in ELSIA linked with various input / output elements described in HTML.
In order to access the ELSIA server 1, it is necessary to first enter the user ID and password to obtain the authentication of the ELSIA server 1. Once authenticated, access is granted.
First, the idea sheet selection unit 2-1-1 on the server determines the file name of the idea sheet to be read from the ELSIA server 1 based on the operation content of the user.
The user information acquisition unit 2-1-3 acquires information for identifying the user, such as the user's name and ID number. Normally, the user inputs the information by keyboard or voice input, but the information may be acquired by using the face or fingerprint recognition function, or from an ID information providing device such as RFID owned by the user. , You may get the information. In the hint information level setting unit 2-1-4, the level of the hint information that the user wants to be presented in order to come up with the idea information is set. In the invention creation model, the closer the hint information to be presented is to the invention information, the lower the level of the hint information. The lower the level of hint information, the lower the invention ability evaluation value of the creator of the idea information, even if the idea information can be created from the hint information as a starting point.
If the idea sheet file name to be read from the ELSIA server 1 has been decided, the user information has been acquired, and the hint information level has been set, the idea entry sheet window generation unit responds to the user's operation. Operate 2-1-5. Ideas fill sheet window generation unit 2-1-5 generates IDEA Window2-1-B. An idea entry sheet is displayed on IDEA Window2-1-B. In the hint information level setting unit 2-1-4, for example, when the hint information level is set to level 6, the number of idea information items that the user must fill out on the idea entry sheet in order to complete the invention information. Is 6 items including invention information.
The idea entry sheet will be described with reference to the Idea Sheet shown in FIG.
It is assumed that the identification code of the user of the ELSIA terminal 2 is B002, and the identification code of the creator of the file selected as the Idea Sheet downloaded and used by this user from the ELSIA server 1 is A001.
A user named A001 entered the idea information he created in the four lines above the Idea Sheet. That is, there are a line of "social movements that bring about new values", a line of "values", a line of "ideal state based on values", and a line of "conventional technology". Then, when the input of these four lines was completed, the user named A001 finished the creation of the Idea Sheet. The end time was 12:00 on May 23, 2016. Then, "IDEA20160523000000156" was assigned to the Idea Sheet as the Idea Sheet number.
Since the user A001 sent the Idea Sheet, which has been filled up to the line of the prior art, to the ELSIA server 1, the Idea Sheet was stored in the ELSIA server.
After that, the user having the identification code B002 selects the Idea Sheet of the Idea Sheet number: IDEA20160523000000156 stored in the ELSIA server 1, imports it into his / her ELLSIA terminal 2, reads it, and then himself / herself. The idea of was added and stored in the ELSIA server 1 again.
Next, the user having the identification code B003 is also from the ELSIA server 1 to Idea.
Sheet number: I selected Idea Sheet of IDEA20160523000000156, imported it into my ELSIA terminal 2, read it, added my own ideas, and stored it on the ELSIA server 1. The date and time was 14:26 on February 1, 2017.
Finally, the user having the identification code B004 selected the Idea Sheet with the Idea Sheet number: IDEA20160523000000156, incorporated the Idea Sheet into his / her own ELSIA terminal 2, and added the invention information. The date and time was 17:01 on February 22, 2017.
In this way, the ELSIA user can use the ELSIA terminal 2 to use the various contents stored in the ELSIA server 1 and the idea sheet at the entry stage. That is, "social movements that bring about new values", "values", "ideal state based on values", "conventional technology", "problems of conventional technology from the viewpoint of ideal state", "problems""Cause","Problem to be solved based on the cause", "Point of view to find the problem solving means", "Essential action of the solution obtained based on the viewpoint", "Invention information which is a solution including the essential action ( It is also possible to display to the user only a part of the idea sheet in which the idea information is entered in all the items of "(may be described only as invention information)" as hint information. That is, only the items corresponding to the level of hint information set by the user using the hint information level setting unit 2-1-4 are presented to the user, and the other items are considered by the user and the user inputs his / her thoughts. It is a thing. This makes it possible to evaluate the invention ability of the user. The idea sheet shown in FIG. 3 can be viewed in another way.
That is, each item of "social movements that bring about new values", "values", "ideal state based on values", and "conventional technology", which are idea information input by the user of the identification code A001. The content became the starting point information for the user's idea of invention of the identification code B002. Then, the contents of each item of "problems of the prior art seen from the ideal state", "causes of the problems", and "problems to be solved based on the causes", which are information input by the user of the identification code B002, are , It became the starting point information for the user's invention idea of the identification code B003. Further, the contents of each item of "the viewpoint of finding the problem solving means" and "the essential action of the solving means obtained based on the viewpoint", which are the information input by the user of the identification code B003, are described by the user of the identification code B004. It is the starting point information for inputting the invention information into the idea sheet.

In this situation, among the users who use the ELSIA terminal 2, the idea sheet is distributed one after another via the ELSIA server 1 and branches into idea information of various contents at various stages, and various invention information. It means that it is something that realizes creativity.

When the work of writing the idea information on the idea entry sheet by the user in IDEA Window2-1-B is completed, the idea sheet analysis unit 2-1-6 of ELSIA Window2-1-A is started by the user's operation. .. The user's operation for this activation can be realized as being performed for the IDEA Window2-1-B, or as being performed for the ELSIA Window2-1-A.
The idea sheet analysis unit 2-1-6 obtains and analyzes the data of the idea sheet entered in the idea entry sheet in IDEA Window2-1-B.
The idea sheet analysis unit 2-1-6 generates PCML_OPEN_EDITOR Window2-1-C as a new window if the invention information is described as a claim and exists in the data of the idea sheet. Then, the idea sheet analysis unit 2-1-6 transmits the claim to the generated PCML_OPEN_EDITOR Window2-1-C. The evaluation value calculation unit of the claim in the PCML_OPEN_EDITOR Window2-1-C that has received the claim calculates the evaluation value of the claim. Then, the evaluation value of the claim is provided to the invention ability evaluation unit 2-1-8 by PCML_OPEN_EDITOR Window2-1-C.
The idea sheet analysis unit 2-1-6 analyzes the idea information described in the idea sheet provided by IDEA Window2-1-B item by item. As a result of the analysis, the evaluation value of the invention intermediate information and the fraud flag are generated, and they are given to the invention ability evaluation unit 2-1-8.

The invention completion time measuring unit 2-1-7 receives the start time information from the idea entry sheet window generation unit 2-1-5 and the end time information from the idea sheet analysis unit 2-1-6. The invention completion time is calculated as the difference between the end time and the start time, and is given to the invention ability evaluation unit 2-1-8. The start time is the time when the idea entry sheet window generation unit 2-1-5 creates IDEA Window2-1-B. The invention completion time measurement unit 2-1-7 uses the time of the timing at which the idea sheet analysis unit 2-1-6 receives the idea sheet data in which the idea has been entered from IDEA Window2-1-B as the end time. Received from Idea Sheet Analysis Unit 2-1-6.

The invention ability evaluation unit 2-1-8 receives input of the invention completion time, the evaluation value of the invention intermediate information, the fraud flag, the hint information level, the evaluation value of the claim, the data of the idea sheet, and the idea sheet identifier. Then, the invention ability individual evaluation report of the user of the ELSIA terminal 2 is created and stored as a local file. The invention ability evaluation unit 2-1-8 reads a plurality of invention ability individual evaluation reports from the past stored as a local file of the ELSIA terminal 2 and performs statistical processing, etc., and performs an invention ability comprehensive evaluation report. Is created and stored as a local file of the ELSIA terminal 2.
For example, an example of explaining the invention ability evaluation value and the basis for calculating the evaluation value in the invention ability evaluation report is as follows.

The explanation of the basis of Mr. Taro's invention ability evaluation (out of 600 points) is as follows.
10 points added by setting "conventional technology".
100 points will be added depending on the "problem" setting.
30 points will be added depending on the "cause" setting.
81 points are added according to the evaluation value of the claim set as the invention information.
100 points are added according to the processing time.
The total score is 321 points.

In order to evaluate the invention ability as accurately and stably as possible, it is effective to make the state of the user to be evaluated as positive as possible for the invention. Therefore, in order to encourage the user to train the invention ability after receiving the evaluation of the invention ability, or to encourage the creation of the invention, for example, the following sentence is activated by ELSIA Window2-1A. It is recommended that the software in this window read aloud by voice synthesis each time to make the user aware of the significance of the invention.

Invention is a mechanism to create the desired good condition.
In order to create the desired good condition, it is necessary to give an appropriate action to the target who wants to achieve the good condition.
Whether or not the action is appropriate depends on the internal structure of the object and the causal relationship brought about by the connection with the outside.
By abstracting the causal relationship between the internal structure of an object and the outside, it is often possible to discover a mechanism that can bring the object into a good state in the existing mechanisms of living things and machines.
This is an equivalence relationship between different things and events.
You can consciously combine and replace knowledge based on equivalence to create and evaluate various combinations and build various ideas.
Even if the idea you created is fragmentary, you should record it in your idea notebook.
Then, if you read the idea note over and over again, focus your thoughts on the problem, and record your thoughts in the idea note, the idea grows into an invention.
If you keep focusing on the task of creating a good condition for the object using the idea note, fragmentary ideas and knowledge will create a swirl of information in your brain.
When the swirl grows big enough, your subconscious mind is activated and automatically forms and evaluates a huge number of ideas when you are sleeping or walking.
And at one point, the subconscious will report a great idea to your consciousness.
This is the same as some fish jumping to the surface of the sea from a horde of swirling fish swimming in the sea, jumping over the sea, and shining.
The phenomenon in which an epoch-making invention jumps into the consciousness from the subconscious sea is called "Uomitsu" by writing that the fish shines.
Let's start by recording your thoughts in an idea note. You too will experience Uomitsu and make epoch-making inventions.
You too can be one of the creators of civilization.

The internal configuration and operation of the idea sheet analysis unit will be described with reference to FIG.
The data of the idea sheet is simply accepted by the idea sheet acceptance processing unit 2-1-6-1. The contents of the acceptance process are as follows. First, the time when the idea sheet is received is output to the outside as the end time. If the claim is described as invention information in the idea sheet, PCML_OPEN_EDITOR is activated and the claim is given to PCML_OPEN_EDITOR. The types, contents, and points of the starting point information (also called starting point information because the invention intermediate information is also the starting point for creating the invention information) described in the idea sheet are the parsing processing unit 2-1 for each type of starting point information. Give to 6-2.
Further, the acceptance processing unit 2-1-6-1 of the idea sheet also gives the content of the starting point information to the detection processing unit 2-1-6-3 of the incorrect answer.
The parsing processing unit 2-1-6-2 for each type of starting point information checks whether or not the content of the starting point information has a syntax suitable for the type of starting point information. As one of the methods of checking this syntax, one or more appropriate syntaxes are registered as pass patterns by regular expressions for each type of origin information, and the content of the origin information matches any of those pass patterns. If passed, the value of the points assigned to the type of starting point information is output as an evaluation value for each type of starting point information.
In the incorrect answer detection processing unit 2-1-6-3, the content of the given starting point information is incorrect answer pattern data 2-1-6-4 (for example, any of the incorrect answer patterns described by a regular expression). Detects whether or not it matches, and if it matches, sets the invalid flag as invalid and outputs it.
Both the pass pattern and the incorrect answer pattern used in the idea sheet analysis unit 2-1-6 can be generated by artificial intelligence by supervised learning with a human as a teacher. The ELSIA server 1 collects many various pass patterns and incorrect answer patterns from a large number of ELSIA terminals 2, selects them by processing such as statistical processing, integrates the selection results, and creates an appropriate pattern. Can also distribute those patterns from the ELSIA server 1 to each ELSIA terminal 2 and update the patterns used by each ELSIA terminal 2 in the idea sheet analysis unit 2-1-6 to appropriate ones.

The internal configuration and operation of the invention ability evaluation unit 2-1-8 will be described with reference to FIG. Individual evaluation value of invention ability and preparation of evaluation reason explanation Unit 2-1-8-1 contains the level of hint information, invention completion time, evaluation value of each invention intermediate information, and evaluation value of claims. The idea sheet identifier is entered. There are various methods for calculating the individual evaluation value of the invention ability, but one realization form is (1) a score corresponding to the level of hint information, (2) a score corresponding to the invention completion time, and (3). The points corresponding to the evaluation values of the intermediate information of each invention and (4) the total of the points corresponding to the evaluation values of the claims are used as the individual evaluation values of the invention ability, and the above-mentioned calculations (1) to (4) are performed. Generate logic in sentences as an explanation of the reason for evaluation.
The individual evaluation value and the explanation of the reason for evaluation of the invention ability generated in this way are combined with the idea sheet identifier, and the individual evaluation value and the explanation of the reason for evaluation are modified unit 2-1-8-2 (hereinafter referred to as the modification unit). Output to.
For the correction unit, not only the individual evaluation value and the explanation of the reason for evaluation, but also the invalid flag is input. If the fraud flag indicates fraud, the correction unit sets a deduction value based on fraud and subtracts the deduction value from the individual evaluation value. Furthermore, an explanation sentence of the reason for deduction is added to the explanation of the reason for evaluation. Then, the modified individual evaluation value and the modified explanation of the reason for evaluation are output as a file as an invention ability individual evaluation report. If the invalidity flag does not indicate that there is an invalidity, the correction unit outputs the input individual evaluation value and the evaluation reason explanation as an uncorrected and file output of the evaluation reason explanation as an invention ability individual evaluation report.
The invention ability comprehensive evaluation creation unit 2-1-8-3 reads a plurality of invention ability individual evaluation reports, performs statistical processing, etc., and creates and outputs an invention ability comprehensive evaluation report.

The idea information market will be described with reference to FIG.
The user registered in the ELSIA server 1 has a problem to be solved, has a hint information provider who wants to provide hint information to obtain idea information of the problem solution, and has an invention ability to solve the problem. It consists of two types of solution idea providers.
The idea information market server 3 matches these two types of users.
Therefore, the user of the idea information market server 3 needs to be registered as a user in the ELSIA server 1.

(1) The hint information provider group sends a hint information sheet to the database management unit 3-2 of the idea information market server 3. They are stored in the hint information sheet DB3-4.
(2) The hint information sheet is labeled according to the technical field and the required invention ability. Matching with the solution idea provider group based on the labeling information is performed by the matching unit 3-1. (In FIG. 6, Mr. Y03 matched, and the hint information sheet No. 3 was sent to Mr. Y03 from the idea information market server 3.)
(3) When the idea provider inputs the idea information into the hint information sheet obtained by matching using the ELSIA terminal 2, the ELSIA terminal 2 automatically evaluates the invention ability, and the evaluation result is sent to the hint information provider. An individual evaluation report on invention ability including an idea sheet will be sent. (In FIG. 6, the invention ability individual evaluation report including the idea information created by the idea provider Y03 is sent to Mr. X02.)
The transaction record and consideration payment unit 3-3 of the idea information keeps these activities as a transaction record and processes to pay the consideration to Mr. Y03 who provided the idea information.

A second embodiment will be described.
Since FIG. 11 shows the “invention comprehensive support system” which is the overall configuration of the present embodiment, the description of FIG. 11 will be started and the details will be described.
The invention comprehensive support system of FIG. 11 is composed of the "invention ability comprehensive evaluation system" of FIG. 10 and the "idea note management system" whose internal structure is not shown. The invention comprehensive support system has two modes, an invention idea support mode and an invention ability evaluation mode.

In both the invention idea support mode and the invention ability evaluation mode, when the target person is a natural person or a group of natural persons, the invention comprehensive support system has a man-machine interface, an information storage function, and an information processing function. Realized using a device. If the subject of the invention ability evaluation is artificial intelligence, a man-machine interface is not required, and a communication function for simply exchanging information is sufficient. Here, the explanation will be given on the premise of a device intended for natural persons. Such devices include personal computers, smartphones, tablet PCs, computers integrated with head-mounted displays, and the like. In the future, with the progress of technology, body-worn terminals with man-machine interfaces and implantable terminals will also become widespread as the devices mentioned here.
Here, for the sake of simplicity, an embodiment will be described as one of the application software running on a smartphone, which is the most popular device at present.
Of course, it is easy to implement such application software running on the cloud outside the smartphone and exchanging information with the target person through the man-machine interface software on the smartphone via the Internet, but the explanation is explained. Omit.

● Invention Idea Support Mode In the invention idea support mode, the subject is provided with an idea sheet in the format shown in FIG. 12 from the idea note management system. Depending on the selection of the target person, an idea sheet with nothing other than the item name may be used as shown in FIG. 12, or an idea sheet in which the starting point information is pre-filled as shown in FIG. 16 or 17 is provided. It may be done. It is also possible to read an idea sheet that has already been created from the idea note and make it an edit target or a viewing target. When the target person selects to record the idea sheet in the idea note by means such as menu selection, in the case of a new idea sheet, the date and time of the start of work is automatically set in the idea sheet by the idea note management system. As it is filled in, an idea number is automatically assigned and imported as an idea sheet in the idea note linked to the target person, and the idea number of the idea sheet and the year of start of creation are included in the table of contents of the idea note. The month, day, hour, minute and the reduced icon of the idea sheet are automatically displayed. When the target person records the idea sheet in the idea note, the date and time of the input confirmation for each line is automatically recorded in each line of the idea sheet. Input confirmation is performed by operating the confirmation button provided on the device as a man-machine interface. If the subject gives the attribute value "confirm" to the content of the description in the invention information line of the idea sheet by using the confirmation button as described above using the idea note management system, the idea sheet Will be able to enter into the invention ability evaluation system for invention ability evaluation. FIG. 13 is a hypothetical example of an idea sheet in which the description up to the invention information is completed and the whole is completed.

As a hypothetical example of the process up to the completion of the idea sheet of FIG. 13, the operation in the invention idea support mode will be described more concretely.
The target person of the invention idea support can access through the idea note management system to be the idea note stored in the storage device in the device or the idea note published via the network or a specific relationship. Access the idea note of another person to obtain an idea sheet in which the starting point information is described and the invention information is not entered. From the one or more idea sheets obtained in this way, one idea sheet to be the target of the invention idea is selected and used as the target of the invention idea activity. Then, in the selected idea sheet, in the case of FIG. 13, only the lines with a circle at the beginning of the creation date and time are displayed. In the case of an idea sheet created by a person other than the target person, for each line described in the content column, the date and time of the moment when the target person selects it as the target of the invention activity is marked with a circle at the beginning. ,Is displayed.
Each line with a circle at the beginning of the date and time of creation is registered in the idea sheet as the starting point information of the invention idea performed by the subject. In the case of the idea sheet of FIG. 15, the target person of the invention idea support targeted this idea sheet for the invention idea activity at 12:00 on May 25, 1989, which was the starting point described from the beginning. The information was the "conventional technology" and all of the previous steps. After that, at 12:10 on May 25, 1989, the target person of the invention idea support filled in the contents of "problems of the prior art from the viewpoint of the ideal state". Since the subject filled in the information in the latter part of the starting point information, a ◆ mark is displayed before the date and time of the entry. It can be seen that the date and time of creation of the invention information is 17:01 on June 22, 1989. Since the invention idea activity started at 12:00 on May 25, 1989, it can be seen that it took about one month to complete the creation of the invention information.
The length of time from the registration of the starting point information in the idea sheet to the completion of creation of the invention information can also be used for the invention ability evaluation.

● Invention Ability Evaluation Mode The subject of the invention ability evaluation is an idea sheet in which the starting point information of the invention idea is described from the invention ability comprehensive evaluation system which is a partial system of the invention comprehensive support system of FIG. 11 (example: FIG. 16 or FIG. By receiving the provision of (17 idea sheets) and "providing other information necessary for invention creation", the invention is created step by step, and the created information is entered in the idea sheet at each stage. Record an idea sheet in your own idea note through the idea note management system. The format of the idea sheet has the structure shown in FIG.
The format of FIG. 12 is configured so that invention information can be created naturally by describing in order from any line downward. For example, when the information required for the line of the prior art is described as the starting point information and provided to the target person, the description of each line is appropriate down to the line of the invention information in order from the line of the prior art. Inventions can be created by describing in. By describing each line in order upward from the conventional technology, it is possible to recognize the values and social movements that are the criteria for evaluating the conventional technology, grasp the conventional technology from a broader perspective, and apply it in various ways. You will be able to come up with a wide range of invention ideas.
The subject of the invention ability evaluation creates an invention while recording the contents obtained by creating an idea based on the starting point information on an idea sheet. Then, the idea sheet is recorded in each person's idea note through the idea note management system, and access management and progress management are performed. An example of an idea sheet when the evaluation subject completes the invention in this way is shown in FIG.
Here, it is also conceivable to obtain "providing other information necessary for invention creation" from a patent information platform (J-PlatPat) as a large number of published patent gazettes.
After receiving the idea sheet with the starting point information as shown in FIG. 16 from the invention ability comprehensive evaluation system, the subject of the invention ability evaluation makes an invention idea by himself / herself and adds his / her idea to the idea sheet. , "Social movements that bring new values", "Values", "Ideal state based on values", "Conventional technology", "Problems of conventional technology from the viewpoint of ideal state", "Causes of problems" , "Problem to be solved based on the cause", "Viewpoint to find the solution to the problem", "Essential action of the solution obtained from the viewpoint", "Invention information" Appropriate description in all lines To complete the invention information. Depending on the wishes of the subject or the judgment of the invention ability comprehensive evaluation system, the idea sheet given to the subject may be as shown in FIG. For example, when the invention information cannot be created only by receiving the presentation of the idea sheet of FIG. 16, or when the invention information can be created but cannot be passed, the starting point information having a low score from the subject (starting information that makes it easy to reach the invention information). ) Is requested to be provided, the invention ability comprehensive evaluation system sets the idea sheet to be provided to the evaluation target person, for example, that of FIG.

When the comprehensive evaluation system for invention ability calculates the comprehensive evaluation value of the invention ability of the subject, the creative activity of the invention of the subject for evaluation of the invention ability is the invention field, invention time, from the invention ability comprehensive evaluation system. It is carried out in accordance with the instructions regarding all or part of the expression format of invention information, starting point information, etc. The evaluation subject performs the invention activity at least once in accordance with these directives, accesses the idea note through the idea note management system, receives the idea sheet recorded in the idea note, and uses the invention information while using it. To complete. That is, as shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, an idea sheet containing starting point information that has already been described up to a certain stage is received, and based on the idea sheet, the invention is completed and the idea sheet is used as invention information. I will add it. Then, as shown in FIG. 13, when the line of the invention information is completed and the confirm button is selected, the invention ability comprehensive evaluation system calculates the evaluation value of the invention ability for the invention act.
Under "various conditions", all or part of the directives (invention field, invention time, expression format of invention information, starting point information, etc.) that allow the subject of the invention ability evaluation to come up with an invention. (Directive regarding) is given to the subject and given at least once. As the items constituting the "various conditions", for example, the following items (1) to (5) can be considered.
(1) Diversity of types of starting point information,
(2) Diversity in the field of invention,
(3) Diversity of the length of time available for making an invention,
(4) Diversity of the range of information that can be used to make an invention,
(5) Diversity of expression form of invention information

14 and 15 show the comprehensive evaluation of the invention ability when the subject of the invention ability evaluation under such various conditions completes the invention creation activity three times and completes the line of the invention information on the three idea sheets. It is a table summarizing the calculation process of the comprehensive evaluation value by the system. So to speak, it can be said to be a report card of the target person. 14 and 15 have different methods for evaluating the ability to invent.

FIG. 14 shows the case where the invention ability evaluation is performed by the method of the second form of the invention ability evaluation system shown in FIG. 9, and FIG. 15 shows the invention ability evaluation by the method of the second form of the invention ability evaluation system shown in FIG. If you do.
In FIG. 15, it can be seen that three invention information can be created by three invention activities. However, of the three invention information, two passed and one failed. In the two invention information that passed, the starting point information used was "social movements that bring about new values: 9 points", "values: 8 points", and "ideal state based on values: 7 points". For those who had three points, seven points, which is the minimum score among the three starting point information, was given as an evaluation value of the ability to invent. On the other hand of the two invention information that passed, the starting point information used is seven from "social movements that bring about new values: 9 points" to "problems to be solved based on the cause: 3 points". It was the starting point information. Therefore, 3 points, which is the minimum score among these 7 starting point information, was given as an evaluation value of invention ability.
The evaluation value of the invention ability based on the idea sheet in which the invention information is rejected is 0 points.
As a result, based on the results of completing the three idea sheets, the overall evaluation value of the subject's invention ability was 3.3 points, which is the average of 7 points, 3 points, and 0 points.
In FIG. 16, three invention information can be created by three invention activities. The evaluation values of the invention information are 2 points, 4 points, and 1 point from the left. For the evaluation of the invention information, for example, the technique described in Non-Patent Document 4 and Non-Patent Document 5 that executes the evaluation algorithm of the claim described in Non-Patent Document 5 is divided by 10 from the scoring result on a scale of 100 points. It can also be used as an evaluation value with a maximum of 10 points.
The starting point information used in the invention field 1 was 7 points with high difficulty, but the evaluation value of the created invention information was 2 points, so the invention ability shown in this invention creation activity is 7 points + 2 points. The score was 9 points.
The starting point information used in the invention field 2 had a difficulty level of 3 points, but the evaluation value of the invention information created using the starting point information was 4 points, so that the invention ability shown in this invention creation activity is 3 points + 4 points = 7 points.
The starting point information used in the invention field 3 had a difficulty level of 6 points, and the evaluation value of the invention information created from it was 1 point, so the invention ability shown in this invention creation activity was 6 points + 1 point = 7 points. It became.
The total evaluation value of the invention ability obtained as the average value of the evaluation values in these three invention activities was 7.7 points.

The invention ability comprehensive evaluation system of FIG. 10 will be described.
The invention ability comprehensive evaluation system has an invention idea support mode that provides (1) "starting point information" for invention ideas and "providing other information necessary for invention creation", and (2) invention time and expression form of invention information. In the comprehensive evaluation mode, in which a predetermined starting point information is given to the evaluation target person, the evaluation target person is made to perform one or more invention activities, and the created invention information is comprehensively evaluated after setting some or all of the conditions of. It has two operation modes.

The invention ability comprehensive evaluation system is composed of an "invention ability evaluation system" and a "means for calculating a comprehensive evaluation value of invention ability".
As already described, the invention ability evaluation system includes the form shown in FIG. 8 and the form shown in FIG.
In either form, the invention ability evaluation system receives the input of the "starting point information setting command" and the "invention field", and displays an idea sheet in which the "starting point information" of the conditions matching the input is described. Receive an idea sheet from the subject that is obtained from the outside and given to the subject, and the subject has created the "invention information" based on the starting point information described in the idea sheet, and the invention information, the starting information, and the invention. The invention ability of the subject is evaluated based on the time and the like, and the "evaluation value of the invention ability" is output.

The "means for calculating the comprehensive evaluation value of invention ability" is an idea sheet in which the subject of the invention ability evaluation is made to perform one or more invention activities under various conditions, and the invention information is added in the activity. The invention ability evaluation value for each time is aggregated for one time or more, and the total evaluation value of the invention ability is calculated and output. Furthermore, in order to have the invention ability evaluation system provide an idea sheet containing the starting point information to be given to the subject of the invention ability evaluation, the information of the "invention field" and the "starting point information" used for selecting such an idea sheet. Is given to the invention ability evaluation system.
Here, the "invention field" may be designated by an International Patent Classification Code (IPC), or may be designated by a designated code of a technical field or an industrial field according to another system. Further, the "starting point information setting command" is a command for designating the description format of the starting point information presented to the target person. The following are the starting point information setting commands.
Type A setting command: Describe only the starting point information for which the description is specified in the idea sheet.
Type B setting command: Describe the starting point information for which the description is specified and all the starting point information in the previous stage in the idea sheet.
Type C setting command: Do not describe any starting point information on the idea sheet.

The "means for calculating the comprehensive evaluation value of invention ability" also manages the provision of "other information necessary for invention creation" provided to the subject of the invention ability evaluation. For example, when the information source of "other information necessary for invention creation" is the patent information platform (J-PlatPat), the information that can be accessed by the target person is specified from D1 which is a specific date. It is possible to limit the publication to a published patent publication for which a published publication was issued during the date D2, and it is also possible to add a limiting condition that the claim is limited to those containing a specific keyword. Furthermore, it can be limited to the front page of each published patent gazette.

The "means for calculating the comprehensive evaluation value of the invention ability" can give the subject of the invention ability evaluation a limit on the time used for the invention, and can also specify the expression format of the invention information. The time limit used in the invention may be a form in which a start time and an end time are specified, a form in which only the end time is specified, or a form in which the time may be started at any time within a certain period. There is also a form of restriction that the time must be completed within the time limit.
As the expression format of the invention information, a claim format, a functional block diagram format, and a flowchart format can be considered.

Next, the method of evaluating the invention ability of the subject having the invention ability of the intermediate level or higher will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 18, 19, 20, 20 and 10.
In the invention ability comprehensive evaluation system of FIG. 10, the "starting point information setting command" given to the invention ability evaluation system by the "calculation means of the invention ability comprehensive evaluation value" is a type A setting command "a solution obtained based on a viewpoint". Only "vibrate the bed mat at a specified time" corresponding to "essential action of means" is used. Then, as the designation of the "invention field" given to the invention ability evaluation system by the "means for calculating the comprehensive evaluation value of the invention ability", "None" indicating that the invention ability is not specified is used. If the designation of the field of invention is not None, the code of the designated field is described as the content of the line of the prior art in the idea sheet.

As described above from the "means for calculating the comprehensive evaluation value of the invention ability", the invention ability evaluation system, which has been designated as the "starting point information setting command" of the type A setting command and the "invention field", externally attaches them. It is transmitted to obtain the idea sheet shown in FIG. 18A, which describes the starting point information that matches those designations. The invention ability evaluation system gives the obtained idea sheet as starting information to the subject of the invention ability evaluation. The given date, time, and minute is the time when the date and time of creation is provided to the target person in the entry area for the date and time of creation in the line of "essential action of the solution obtained from the viewpoint" in the idea sheet of FIG. Time is written.

Since the "means for calculating the comprehensive evaluation value of the invention ability" gives the target person the instructions of "invention time: 5 hours" and "expression form of invention information: claim form", the target person It is expected that the invention creation activity will be carried out so that the invention information part of the idea sheet shown in FIG. 18A can be filled in within 5 hours.

The subject of the invention ability evaluation proceeds with the idea of the invention by using the idea sheet of FIG. 18A and the "other information necessary for invention creation" provided by the "means for calculating the comprehensive evaluation value of the invention ability". And create an idea sheet. In this idea sheet, the target person of the invention ability evaluation thinks and fills in the upper starting point information from "the viewpoint of finding the problem solving means" to "value". After that, fill in the "invention information" line of the idea sheet. As a result, the idea sheet shown in FIG. 18B is completed. Next, in order to create an idea sheet for the related invention, the same subject has the same starting point information from the “value” line to the “problem cause” line as the idea sheet in FIG. 18 (b). Create two idea sheets for. In one of the two idea sheets, the content of the line "Problems to be solved based on the cause" is "Make sure that sound waves are transmitted only to the person and not to anyone other than the person." The idea sheet of FIG. 19 (c) is created by describing the description, adding the starting point information downward from there, and filling in the contents of the invention information. Next, in another idea sheet, the content of the line "Problems to be solved based on the cause" is described as "The transmitted sound wave gives a great stimulus to the ear only by the person himself / herself." Then, the starting point information is sequentially added downward from there, and the contents of the invention information are also entered to create the idea sheet of FIG. 19 (d).

FIG. 20 shows the “essential action of the solution obtained from the viewpoint”, which is the starting point information shown in the idea sheet shown in FIG. 18 (a), “vibrates the bed mat at a specified time”. Based on ".", The idea sheet of FIG. 18 (b) is created, and the idea sheets of FIGS. 19 (c) and 19 (d) are created based on the idea sheet of FIG. 18 (b). This is an evaluation table that calculates the comprehensive evaluation value of the subject's invention ability based on the connected thinking process of creating a total of three invention information.

According to the evaluation table of FIG. 20, the invention ability evaluation value in the idea sheet of FIG. 18 (b) is 38 points, and the invention ability evaluation value in the idea sheet of FIG. 19 (c) is 7 points. The invention ability evaluation value in the idea sheet of (d) is 7 points, and the total evaluation value of the invention ability is 52 points = 38 points + 7 points + 7 points.
Here, three invention information was created, but based on one starting point information, the three invention information is connected by the same subject without providing additional starting point information from the outside. Since it was created in the process of thinking, it was judged that it was an act of invention, and 52 points were not divided by 3, but divided by 1, and a total evaluation value of 52 points was obtained.

According to the evaluation table of FIG. 20, the evaluation value of the invention information in the column of FIG. 18B is 2 points. The display of the “○” mark shown in the column of FIG. 18B indicates that the content of the line “essential action of the solution obtained based on the viewpoint”, which is the starting point information, was provided from the outside. Shown. The minimum value of the points assigned in all the lines marked with "○" is used as the point of invention ability for creating invention information by receiving an external provision. That is, one point in this case.
According to the evaluation table of FIG. 20, the display of the “☆” mark shown in the column of FIG. 21 (b) is capable of inventing the starting point information in the upper direction from the starting point information marked with “○”. It shows that the subject of the evaluation added to the idea sheet. Adding the starting point information in the upper direction requires a wide range of knowledge, a field of view, and flexible creativity and reasoning ability, and is highly evaluated. Therefore, the points assigned to the starting point information corresponding to the “☆” mark were totaled and added to the evaluation value in the invention ability evaluation. That is, (2 points + 3 points + 4 points + 5 points + 6 points + 7 points + 8 points) was added to the two points which are the evaluation values of the invention information and the one point corresponding to the "○" mark. As a result, the score of the invention ability evaluation for the column of FIG. 18 (b) in the evaluation table of FIG. 20 was 38 points.

The evaluation value of the invention information in the column of FIG. 12 (c) in the evaluation table of FIG. 20 is 3 points, and the starting point information provided from the outside is of the type of "cause of the problem" and "value". It is all of the upper starting point information up to the starting point information of the type. Since it was provided from the outside, the corresponding lines are marked with a "○". Therefore, 4 points, which is the minimum value of the points assigned to the starting point information marked with "○", was added to 3 points, which is the evaluation value of the invention information, and 7 points were obtained as the invention ability evaluation value.

The evaluation value of the invention information in the column of FIG. 19D in the evaluation table of FIG. 20 is 3 points, and the minimum value of the allocation of points based on the starting point information provided from the outside is 4 points. Therefore, 7 points were obtained as the invention ability evaluation values in the column of FIG. 19 (d).
