The response list screen 500 shown in the example of FIG. 12 includes a list 501 of a company name, a type of data to be provided, working conditions, treatment, and the like. The answer list screen 500 includes an input field 502 for accepting a greeting to a company or a comment such as an inquiry content. The answer list screen 500 includes a selection button 503 that accepts a company's selection. When the selection button 503 is selected by the operation unit 24 on the client device 2, the processing unit 10 accepts the selection of the offer answer in the answer list (S305) and the input of the comment (S306).

FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of matching contents stored in the matching database 103. The matching content includes the matched researcher's account, the company's account, the offer content, and the offer response in association with the identification data. The offer content and the offer response may be link data (key, offer ID, response ID) to the offer content stored in the researcher database 101 and the offer response stored in the company database 102. The status is associated with the matching content, and in the example of FIG. 13, it is stored that the collaborative project by the matched company and the researcher is in the pre-start state. When the actual collaborative project is started, the server device 1 changes the status to in progress by the declaration from the company side, and when the project is completed, the status is changed to completed, and it is stored in the matching database 103 as a history. Remember.

As a result of matching as shown in FIG. 13, the status of the offer response from the company that was not selected among the responses to the same researcher was changed from "waiting for selection" to "non-selection", and the company as it is. It is good that it remains as a history in the database 102. The server device 1 executes a notification to the effect that it has not been selected to the company that has not been selected.

After the collaborative project progresses by matching, the server device 1 accepts the evaluation for the matching or collaborative project itself. FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing an example of the evaluation acceptance processing procedure by the processing unit 10. The processing unit 10 of the server device 1 executes the following processing for the login from the researcher's account when there is a completed collaborative project targeting the researcher.

The processing unit 10 extracts the matching content including the logged-in researcher's account from the matching database 103 (step S401), and displays the evaluation reception screen including the matching content on the client device 2 used by the researcher (step S402). ..

On the evaluation reception screen, the processing unit 10 receives evaluations for the matching contents for a plurality of items (step S403), and stores the received evaluation contents in the matching database 103 in association with the identification data for identifying the matching contents (step S403). Step S404).

The processing unit 10 displays an evaluation acceptance completion message (step S405), and ends the processing.

FIG. 15 shows an example of the evaluation reception screen 600 displayed on the researcher's client device 2. The evaluation reception screen 600 includes a plurality of evaluation items for the research performed as a result of matching. The evaluation reception screen 600 includes an evaluation rate and a comment input field 601 for each evaluation item. As shown in FIG. 15, the evaluation rate is accepted by selecting the number of stars in multiple stages. The method of accepting the evaluation rate is not limited to this. For example, the evaluation rate may be accepted by inputting a number. The evaluation reception screen 600 includes an evaluation button 602 for transmitting an evaluation. When the evaluation button 602 is selected by the operation unit 24, the server device 1 accepts the content selected or input on the evaluation reception screen 600 (S403).

The evaluation reception screen 600 as shown in FIG. 15 stores the evaluation of the matching content, and can be used as reference data when selecting a company from the researcher side or conversely when selecting a researcher from the company side. ..

FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a display example of evaluation from a researcher. The screen shown in FIG. 16 is displayed, for example, when the “history” of the offer detail screen 403 shown in FIG. 8 is selected. As the history, the partner company of the collaborative project with which the selected researcher has cooperated so far, the period of cooperation, the data type of the data handled in the collaborative project, the problem, and the evaluation by the researcher are displayed. In the example of FIG. 16, it is shown that Mr. "A", a researcher who is interested in confectionery-related matters, has a track record of executing a collaborative project with a bank and a confectionery company. In this way, for example, even if a normal research field is not directly related to the target data of the project, a collaborative project using actual data owned by a company related to the field of interest is realized. It is expected that the project will be successful in collaboration with researchers who have regular interests.

In this way, by including the evaluation result as a history, the evaluation can be referred to as a material when the company issues an offer response to the researcher next time, and more appropriate matching can be expected for both the company and the researcher. .. If the company with which the researcher cooperates does not wish to be disclosed, the company name may be abstracted and displayed only for occupations such as "finance" and "food" without specifying the company name.

FIG. 17 is a diagram showing an example of displaying the history of a company. The screen shown in FIG. 17 is displayed when the "history" of the answer list screen 500 shown in FIG. 12 is selected. The researchers who have cooperated so far, the period of cooperation, the data type of the data handled in the research project, the issues, and the evaluation by the researchers are displayed for the corresponding company. If the list of other researchers who have been involved in research at the target company and the name of the researcher cannot be disclosed, only information such as attribute data and data of interest should be displayed. In this way, the history can be referred to as a material when the researcher selects a cooperating company, and more appropriate matching can be expected for both the company and the researcher.

As recommendation information on the portal site for researchers, history may be used to list research companies that have experience with other researchers who have the same attributes as the researcher. In this case, the companies corresponding to the matching contents that have been highly evaluated by other researchers may be listed preferentially.

In the above-described embodiment, the goodness of fit was calculated statistically based on dictionary data such as similarity and co-occurrence. However, a learning model learned using the results of matching between a company and a researcher in the matching database 103 may be used. In this case, the learning model is trained to output a score by inputting, for example, the attribute data of a company, the attribute data of a researcher, and the data type, and the evaluation from the researcher for the research result as a reward. The reward may be evaluated higher as the period from the offer to the selection of the company is shorter. In this case, the processing unit 10 uses the score output from the learning model as the goodness of fit.

The embodiments disclosed as described above are exemplary in all respects and are not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is indicated by the scope of claims and includes all modifications within the meaning and scope equivalent to the scope of claims.
