DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0014] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
[0015] [First embodiment]
[0016] 1 and 2 are flowcharts illustrating a business matching method performed by a business matching device according to this embodiment.
[0017] 1, in S101, the company matching device displays a company list screen. Here, "display" means to display on a display device provided in the company matching device or a display device connected to the company matching device. This also applies to the following description.
[0018] 3 shows a company list screen 301 as an example of a company list screen. The company list screen 301 includes a company list table 302. The company list table 302 includes a column 304 for a "Start company matching" button 303, a column 305 for "Company name," a column 306 for "Business overview," and a column 307 for "Last updated date and time." The company matching device can access a database (not shown) that stores actual company information about companies, and obtains data for each of the columns 305 to 307 and each of the tables from this database.
[0019] When any company is selected as a matching source company (YES in S102), the company matching device displays a company details screen (described below) in S104. Here, selecting any company means selecting the company name described in the "Company Name" column 305 of any row in the company list table 302.
[0020] Furthermore, when the "Start Company Matching" button 303 associated with any company is pressed (YES in S103), the company matching device displays a purpose selection screen (described below) in S107. Here, pressing the "Start Company Matching" button 303 associated with any company means pressing the "Start Company Matching" button 303 in any row of the company list table 302 that is associated with the company indicated by the company name written in that row. Therefore, when the company matching device displays the purpose selection screen, it holds the identification information of the matching source company.
[0021] 4 shows a company details screen 401 as an example of a company details screen. Actual company information of the matching source company is displayed on the company details screen 401. The actual company information of the matching source company is acquired from a database that stores actual company information of companies.
[0022] The matching source real company information includes basic information 402 , business overview 405 , long real summary information 406 , and short real summary information 417 .
[0023] For example, the content of Business Overview 405 is as follows: "EEE Transport Co., Ltd. (founded in 19XX) is a logistics company based in Hokkaido whose main business is automobile and truck transportation (new cars, used cars, rental cars, etc.) and chassis transportation by tractor head (transportation of paper, agricultural products, etc. by trailer). The company provides community-based services at its XX sales offices and offices within Hokkaido, and places importance on safety, having obtained the G Mark (Excellent Safety Business). It also has a nationwide transportation network and owns a variety of vehicles (car carriers, trailers, etc.). Its goals are to provide safe and secure transportation, ensure the happiness of its employees, and contribute to the local community."
[0024] The basic information 402 includes a company name 403 and a URL 404. The long summary information 406 includes, for example, business segments 407, owned assets 408, recent notable major history 409, corporate philosophy and vision 410, medium- to long-term management policy 411, research and development activities 412, global expansion efforts 413, environmental efforts 414, business challenges 415, and management and organizational challenges 416. The short summary 417 includes, for example, business content 418, customer segments 419, business challenges 420, products and services provided 421, management challenges and measures 422, management and organizational challenges 423, strengths 424, and investment areas 425.
[0025] For example, the contents of business segment 407 are as follows: " · Transporting automobiles, large trucks, and specialized vehicles: Our main business is transporting automobiles, large trucks, fire engines, and other specialized vehicles that are landed in Hokkaido from outside the prefecture. Chassis transportation: This is a business that uses trailers (chassis) to transport cargo such as paper and agricultural products. This is one of our main businesses. · Maintenance business: We currently have our own maintenance workshop and are planning to strengthen our maintenance division through M&A. In particular, we are considering acquiring a maintenance company that specializes in car carriers (car transport vehicles). " is.
[0026] For example, the contents of business content 418 are as follows: "We operate a transportation business for automobiles and large trucks within Hokkaido. Our main business is the transportation of cargo such as paper and agricultural products using trailers. We also have our own maintenance workshop and provide vehicle repair and maintenance services." is.
[0027] The company details screen 401 has a "Start individual scenario creation" button 426. When the "Start individual scenario creation" button 426 is pressed (YES in S105), the company matching device executes an individual scenario creation process in S112. The individual scenario creation process will be described in detail later.
[0028] The company details screen 401 has a "Start company matching" button 427. When the "Start company matching" button 427 is pressed (YES in S106), the company matching device displays a purpose selection screen (described below) in S107. When displaying the company details screen 401, the company matching device holds the identification information of the matching source company, and also holds the identification information of the matching source company when displaying the purpose selection screen.
[0029] 5 shows an example of a purpose selection screen, a purpose selection screen 501. The purpose selection screen 501 has a title 502 called "Company Matching," a company name 503 of a matching source company, and a screen explanation 504 for the user called "Select purpose of company matching."
[0030] In addition, the purpose selection screen 501 displays seven selectable candidates for the purpose of company matching. The seven candidates are: Business Transfer / Business Succession 506 ·M&A・Investment 507 ·Business Development509 Partner Development 510 ·Investment starting point 512 ·Task starting point 513 Industry 514 Includes:
[0031] Business Transfer / Business Succession 506 and M&A / Investment 507 belong to Group 505, which is capital and business alliances. Business Development 509 and Partner Development 510 belong to Group 508, which is service ordering. Investment Starting Point 512 and Issue Starting Point 513 belong to Group 511, which is new business development / open innovation. Industry 514 belongs to Group 514, which is knowledge sharing / networking.
[0032] The purpose selection screen 501 also includes a "Select an ideal matching company" button 516 and a "Select candidate company" button 517.
[0033] If any of the seven candidates is selected as the purpose of company matching (YES in S108), in S109 the company matching device enables the "Select an ideal matching company" button 516 and the "Select a candidate company" button 517, which had been disabled until then.
[0034] Next, if the "Select an ideal matching company" button 516 is pressed (YES in S110), the company matching device proceeds to S201 (Figure 2), and if the "Select a candidate company" button 517 is pressed (YES in S111), the company matching device proceeds to S206 (Figure 2).
[0035] In S201, the company matching device displays a selection screen for an ideal matching company.
[0036] 6 shows an example of an ideal match company selection screen 601. The ideal match company selection screen 601 includes a title 602 called "Company Matching," a guide 603 that reads "Please select one of your ideal companies," and a list of ideal match companies. The list of ideal match companies includes multiple boxes 604#1 to 604#5 as items.
[0037] Each box 604 includes a radio box 605 for selection, a title 606 of an ideal matching company, a general title 607 for the description "Strengths and direction of business co-creation," and a description 608.
[0038] For example, description 608#1 states, "By using AI to analyze driver behavior, propose efficient routes, and provide a dispatch system, we will reduce driver working hours and improve transportation efficiency. We also provide a driver recruitment support service that will help alleviate the labor shortage."
[0039] When any of the ideal matched companies is selected by pressing the radio button 605 (YES in S202), the company matching device enables the "Company Matching" button 609.
[0040] When the "Execute company matching" button 609 is pressed (YES in S204), the company matching device executes a first company matching process in S205 and then proceeds to S207. Details of the first company matching process will be described later.
[0041] The company matching device executes the second company matching process in S206, and then proceeds to S207. Details of the second company matching process will be described later.
[0042] In S207, the company matching device displays a screen listing candidates for matching companies.
[0043] FIG. 7 shows a candidate matching company list screen 701 as an example of a candidate matching company list screen.
[0044] The candidate matching company list screen 701 includes a title 702 such as "List of candidate matching companies for EEE Transport Co., Ltd.", a company matching objective 703 such as "Problem-based [new business development / open innovation]" selected on the objective selection screen 501, and an ideal matching company 704 such as "IT solution-related company" selected on the ideal matching company selection screen 601.
[0045] A table 705 of candidate matching companies is arranged on the candidate matching company list screen 701. The table 705 displays one or more candidate matching companies that have been determined to be candidates for a matching company by the first company matching process or the second company matching process.
[0046] Table 705 includes a column 706 for "Name of candidate matching company," a column 707 for "Project or business summary," and a column 708 for "Summary from AI." The project or business summary indicates actual company information for the candidate matching company or information generated by a pre-trained generative model based on the actual company information. The summary from AI relates to a matching scenario between a matching source company and a candidate matching company, and was generated by a pre-trained generative model based on the actual company information for the matching source company, the actual company information for the candidate matching company, and the purpose of company matching.
[0047] When any candidate for a matching company is selected on the candidate matching company list screen 701 (YES in S208), the company matching device displays a company matching details screen in S209. Here, when any company name is selected from column 706, the candidate for a matching company having that name is selected.
[0048] FIG. 8 shows a company matching details screen 801 as an example of the company matching details screen.
[0049] The company matching details screen 801 includes, for example, a title 802 such as "Company matching details EEE Transport Co., Ltd. x PPP Group Co., Ltd.", a company matching purpose 803 such as "Purpose of company matching: [New business development / open innovation] Starting from the issue," and an ideal matching company 804 such as "Ideal company: IT solution-related company."
[0050] The company matching details screen 801 has a section 805 for a summary from the AI. The summary from the AI here is similar to the summary from the AI displayed on the candidate matching company list screen 701, and relates to a matching scenario between the matching source company and the candidate matching company. It is generated by a pre-trained generative model based on the actual company information of the matching source company, the actual company information of the candidate matching company, and the purpose of company matching. As shown in FIG. 8, section 805 includes a first scenario 806#1, a second scenario 806#2, and a third scenario 806#3, although the number of scenarios is not limited to three.
[0051] The company matching details screen 801 has a collaboration idea section 807. The collaboration idea here refers to a scenario related to co-creation between the matching source company and the matching target company. Section 807 includes an edit box 808 for entering questions about the collaboration idea and an execute button 809 for causing the pre-trained generative model to generate a collaboration idea.
[0052] The company matching details screen 801 has a matching source company information section 810 and a matching destination company section 811. The matching source company information section 810 displays the actual company information of the matching source company, and the matching destination company section 811 displays the actual company information of the matching destination company. The actual company information displayed in sections 810 and 811 is the same as the basic information 402, business overview 405, and long actual summary information displayed on the company details screen 401 (FIG. 4).
[0053] When a question about a collaboration idea is entered in the edit box 808 and the execute button 809 is pressed (S210), the corporate matching device causes the trained generative model to generate a collaboration idea (scenario) and displays an idea screen.
[0054] FIG. 9 shows an idea screen 901 as an example of the idea screen.
[0055] Speech bubble 905#1 displays the question entered in edit box 808. Speech bubble 906#1 displays a corporate idea (scenario) generated by the trained generative model in response to the question displayed in speech bubble 905#1.
[0056] The idea screen 901 includes an edit box 903 for inputting questions about the collaboration idea, and an execute button 904 for causing the pre-trained generative model to generate a collaboration idea.
[0057] When a question about a collaboration idea is entered in the edit box 903 and the execute button 904 is pressed, the company matching device causes the trained generative model to generate a collaboration idea in S211, and displays an idea screen in S212.
[0058] In S211, the corporate matching device generates a scenario for co-creation requested by the prompt including a question between the matching source company and the matching target company, based on the actual company information of the matching source company, the actual company information of the candidate matching target company, and the prompt including the entered question.
[0059] Speech bubble 905#2 displays the question entered in edit box 903. Speech bubble 906#2 displays a corporate idea generated by the trained generative model in response to the question displayed in speech bubble 905#2.
[0060] In the flowchart shown in FIG. 2, the operations related to the edit box 903 are omitted.
[0061] When the "close" button is pressed (YES in S213), the company matching device closes the idea screen 901, returns the process to S209, and displays the company matching details screen 801.
[0062] FIG. 10 is a conceptual diagram of company information for explaining the details of the first company matching process. In the example shown in FIG. 10, the real company information for each company is categorized into real company information related to a total of eight items. In the example shown in FIG. 10, the real company information includes real company information related to business activities, real company information related to products and services provided, real company information related to strengths, real company information related to customer segments, real company information related to management strategies and measures, real company information related to investment areas, real company information related to business challenges, and real company information related to management and organizational challenges, but the number of items and the categories of each item are not limited to these. Furthermore, the ideal matching company is generated by a pre-trained generative model, but in the example shown in FIG. 10, like the real company information for each company, it is generated by classifying it into virtual company information related to a total of eight items. However, the virtual company information may be categorized into a different number of items according to other classifications, or may not be categorized at all.
[0063] FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the details of the first company matching process.
[0064] In S1101, the company matching device selects first real company information from the real company information of matching source companies.
[0065] 11, the business matching device selects one or more items of real company information according to the purpose of business matching as the first real company information in S1101. For example, if the purpose of business matching is M&A or investment (see FIG. 5), the business matching device selects real company information related to the business content of the matching source company and real company information related to affiliated products and services as the first company information, as shown in FIG.
[0066] Next, in S1102, the company matching device generates virtual company information of an ideal matching target company using a pre-trained generative model based on the purpose of company matching and the first real company information selected in S1101 from the real company information of the matching source company. For example, if the purpose of company matching is M&A or investment (see FIG. 5), as shown in FIG. 10, the company matching device generates virtual company information regarding the business activities of the ideal matching target company, virtual company information regarding the products and services provided, virtual company information regarding strengths, and virtual company information regarding management strategies and measures. This virtual company information is matched with the first company information selected from the real company information of the matching source company in accordance with the purpose of company matching. For example, if the first company information indicates a need in accordance with the purpose of matching, the virtual company information includes information on seeds corresponding to that need in accordance with the purpose of company matching. Conversely, if the first company information indicates seeds in accordance with the purpose of matching, the virtual company information includes information on needs corresponding to the seeds in accordance with the purpose of company matching.
[0067] The first real company information is expressed in words, phrases, or sentences in natural language, but depending on the purpose of matching, the expression of the first real company information may be changed to other words, phrases, or sentences to clearly indicate the needs or seeds.
[0068] The company matching device may generate a single piece of virtual business summary information having substantially the same content as these pieces of virtual company information.
[0069] Next, the company matching device repeats the process between S1103 and S1111 for all other companies. Here, "all other companies" refers to all real companies registered in the database associated with the matchmaker, excluding the matching source company. However, companies that are known in advance to be unsuitable as matching destination companies and companies that are desired to be excluded from the matching destination companies may be excluded from the repetition. In such cases, all other companies after the exclusion are simply referred to as "all other companies."
[0070] In each iteration, first, in S1104, the business matching device selects second actual company information from the actual company information of other companies in the current iteration. If the purpose of business matching is M&A or investment (see FIG. 5), as shown in FIG. 10, the business matching device selects actual company information on the business content of other companies in the current iteration, actual company information on products and services provided, actual company information on strengths, and actual company information on management strategies and measures.
[0071] Here, the second actual company information may also be expressed in a manner similar to that of the first actual company information, depending on the purpose of matching, to clearly indicate needs or seeds.
[0072] The items of the first real company information and the items of the second real company information differ depending on the purpose of matching, and may be entirely common, partially common, or not common at all.
[0073] Next, in S1105, the company matching device determines whether at least a portion of the virtual company information generated in S1102 and at least a portion of the second real company information selected in S1104 have information regarding common needs or common seeds in light of the purpose of matching.
[0074] For example, if the virtual company information contains information about needs and the second real company information contains information about similar needs in light of the purpose of matching, a positive judgment is made. Conversely, if the virtual company information contains information about seeds and the second real company information contains information about similar seeds in light of the purpose of matching, a positive judgment is made.
[0075] If the determination result in S1105 is positive, the company matching device advances the process to S1106, whereas if the determination result in S1105 is negative, the company matching device ends the current iteration.
[0076] In S1106, the company matching device sets other companies in the current iteration as candidates for matching-destination companies according to the purpose of matching for the matching-source company.
[0077] In S1107, the company matching device generates a matching scenario by using a pre-trained generative model based on the real company information of the matching-source company, the real company information of other companies in the current iteration, and the purpose of matching. Here, the company matching device may select real company information for items corresponding to the purpose of matching from the real company information of the matching-source company, select real company information for items corresponding to the purpose of matching from the real company information of the matching-destination company, and then generate a matching scenario by using a pre-trained generative model based on the selected information and the purpose of matching.
[0078] In S1108, the company matching device selects third real company information from the real company information of matching source companies according to the purpose of matching and the purpose of selection for calculating the degree of match.
[0079] In S1109, the company matching device selects fourth real company information from the real company information of other companies in the current iteration according to the purpose of matching and the purpose of selection for matching degree calculation.
[0080] In S1110, the company matching device calculates the match degree between the matching source company and other companies in the current iteration based on the third real company information, the fourth real company information and the purpose of matching.
[0081] For example, as shown in Figure 10, the third real company information is real company information regarding the business activities of the matching source company and the products and services it provides, and the fourth real company information is real company information regarding the investment areas of other companies in the current iteration.
[0082] After the repetition of steps S1103 to S1111 is completed, in step S1112, the matching device ranks the candidates for matched companies based on the degree of match. The ranking is reflected, for example, in the display order of the candidates for matched companies in table 705 (FIG. 7).
[0083] 12 is a conceptual diagram of company information for explaining the details of the second company matching process. In the example shown in FIG. 12, the actual company information of each company is classified into actual company information related to a total of eight items. In the example shown in FIG. 12, similar to the example shown in FIG. 10, the actual company information includes actual company information related to business content, actual company information related to products and services provided, actual company information related to strengths, actual company information related to customer segments, actual company information related to management strategies and measures, actual company information related to investment areas, actual company information related to business issues, and actual company information related to management and organizational issues, but the number of items and the categories of each item are not limited to these.
[0084] FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the details of the second company matching process.
[0085] In S1301, the company matching device selects first real company information from the real company information of matching source companies.
[0086] 13, the business matching device selects one or more items of real company information according to the purpose of business matching as the first real company information in S1301. For example, if the purpose of business matching is M&A or investment (see FIG. 5), the business matching device selects real company information related to the business content of the matching source company and real company information related to affiliated products and services as the first real company information, as shown in FIG.
[0087] The first real company information is expressed in words, phrases, or sentences in natural language, but depending on the purpose of matching, the expression of the first real company information may be changed to other words, phrases, or sentences to clearly indicate the needs or seeds.
[0088] Next, the company matching device repeats the process between S1303 and S1311 for all other companies. Here, "all other companies" refers to all real companies registered in the database corresponding to the matchmaker, excluding the matching source company. However, companies that are known in advance to be unsuitable as matching destination companies and companies that are desired to be excluded from matching destination companies may be excluded from the repetition. In such cases, all other companies after exclusion are simply referred to as "all other companies."
[0089] In each iteration, first, in S1304, the business matching device selects second actual company information from the actual company information of other companies in the current iteration. If the purpose of business matching is M&A or investment (see FIG. 5), as shown in FIG. 12, the business matching device selects actual company information on the business content of other companies in the current iteration, actual company information on products and services provided, actual company information on strengths, and actual company information on management strategies and measures.
[0090] Here, the second actual company information may also be expressed in a manner similar to that of the first actual company information, depending on the purpose of matching, to clearly indicate needs or seeds.
[0091] The items of the first real company information and the items of the second real company information differ depending on the purpose of matching, and may be entirely common, partially common, or not common at all.
[0092] Next, in S1305, the company matching device uses a pre-trained generative model to determine whether other companies in the current iteration are matched with the first real company in light of the matching purpose, based on the first real company information selected in S1302, the second real company information selected in S1304, and the matching purpose.
[0093] For example, if at least a portion of the information indicating needs contained in the first real company information and at least a portion of the information indicating seeds contained in the second real company information correspond in light of the purpose of matching, the result of this determination is deemed positive. Conversely, if at least a portion of the information indicating seeds contained in the first real company information and at least a portion of the information indicating needs contained in the second real company information correspond in light of the purpose of matching, the result of this determination is deemed positive.
[0094] If the determination result in S1305 is positive, the company matching device advances the process to S1306, whereas if the determination result in S1305 is negative, the company matching device ends the current iteration.
[0095] In S1306, the company matching device sets other companies in the current iteration as candidates for matching-destination companies according to the purpose of matching for the matching-source company.
[0096] In S1307, the company matching device generates a matching scenario by using a pre-trained generative model based on the real company information of the matching-source company, the real company information of other companies in the current iteration, and the purpose of matching. Here, the company matching device may select real company information for items corresponding to the purpose of matching from the real company information of the matching-source company, select real company information for items corresponding to the purpose of matching from the real company information of the matching-destination company, and then generate a matching scenario by using a pre-trained generative model based on the selected information and the purpose of matching.
[0097] In S1308, the company matching device selects third real company information from the real company information of matching source companies according to the purpose of matching and the purpose of selection for calculating the degree of match.
[0098] In S1309, the company matching device selects fourth real company information from the real company information of other companies in the current iteration according to the purpose of matching and the purpose of selection for matching degree calculation.
[0099] In S1310, the company matching device calculates the match degree between the matching source company and other companies in the current iteration based on the third real company information, the fourth real company information and the purpose of matching.
[0100] For example, as shown in Figure 12, the third real company information is real company information regarding the business activities of the matching company and the products and services it provides, and the fourth real company information is real company information regarding the investment areas of other companies in the current iteration.
[0101] After the repetition of steps S1303 to S1311 is completed, in step S1312, the matching device ranks the candidate matching companies based on the degree of match. The ranking is reflected, for example, in the display order of the candidate matching companies in table 705 (FIG. 7).
[0102] 10 and 12 are the same as the eight items of the short sentence summary information 417 shown in Fig. 4, but this is not limited to this. For example, information on any number of items may be generated based on the long sentence summary information 406 and used in the methods shown in Figs. 11 and 13.
[0103] Next, the independent scenario creation process (S112) will be described.
[0104] An independent scenario is a scenario for a business that can be carried out by a matching source company, whose actual company information is displayed on the company details screen 401, independently of the matching target company.
[0105] The corporate matching device can generate a standalone scenario using a pre-trained generative model based on the actual corporate information of the matching source company and, for example, the business objectives input by the user.
[0106] Next, additional information regarding the database will be provided.
[0107] The company matching device or other device has means for updating the actual company information stored in the database for each company based at least in part on the primary information, secondary information, and tertiary information for each company.
[0108] Here, primary information about each company is information that only the matchmaker knows. For example, if the matchmaker is a bank and the company is one that has received a loan from the bank, primary information is confidential information that the bank's public relations officer obtains directly and independently from the company. Primary information is basically information about the future. For example, information about the actual management issues facing a business and information about the policy for resolving those issues are primary information. Information about areas in which investments are planned is also primary information.
[0109] Secondary information about each company is open information that each company makes publicly available on the web, etc. For example, if the matchmaker is a bank and the company is a company that has received a loan from the bank, secondary information would be the information contained in the company's securities report that is publicly available. Secondary information is basically information about each company from the past to the present.
[0110] Tertiary information about each company is information held by a third party about each company. For example, it is information held by a research company about each company. Examples of tertiary information include Teikoku Databank Corporate Information and Tokyo Shoko Research Corporate Information. Tertiary information is basically information about each company from the past to the present.
[0111] If some of the corporate information cannot be extracted from secondary information, that information is obtained from tertiary information. For example, if necessary past information about small and medium-sized enterprises cannot be obtained from secondary information on the web, the necessary past information about small and medium-sized enterprises is obtained from Teikoku Databank or Tokyo Shoko Research. In this case, an API provided by Teikoku Databank or Tokyo Shoko Research may be used. Even if corporate information can be extracted from secondary information, it may be obtained from tertiary information and added as reference information. If the corporate information obtained from secondary information and the corporate information obtained from tertiary information differ, both may be included as corporate information. For example, the content may be, "According to ~, ~, according to ~, ~."
[0112] For listed companies, the company name 403, URL 404, and business overview 405 shown in Fig. 4 are basically obtained from secondary information. The long text summary information 406 is basically obtained from tertiary information. The secondary information may also be supplemented with tertiary information.
[0113] For unlisted companies, the company name 403, URL 404, and business summary 405 are basically obtained from tertiary information. The full-length summary information 406 is basically obtained from tertiary information.
[0114] The corporate matching device or other device may be equipped with a means for storing information in a database regarding the results of a determination as to whether or not a company other than the matching source company can be a candidate for a matching destination company that is suitable for the purpose of corporate matching with the matching source company.
[0115] When making a judgment, the judgment unit (judgment means) of the company matching device may refer to the database for the judgment result as to whether or not companies other than the matching source company could be candidates for matching destination companies that meet the purpose of company matching with the matching source company. For example, by making such a reference in the early stage of the judgment and excluding companies for which the judgment result is negative, the amount of calculation can be reduced.
[0116] The company matching device may further include means for storing in a database at least a portion of the scenarios generated by the scenario generation unit (scenario generation means) that executes S112, S211, S1107, and S1307. Furthermore, the scenario generation unit (scenario generation means) may refer to the scenarios stored in the database when generating a scenario in S112, S211, S1107, or S1307. In this way, the learning level of the database can be gradually increased, and the scenarios generated by referring to the database can be gradually made more sophisticated.
[0117] In the description of repeating the processing between S1103 and S1111 for all other companies, "all other companies" refers to all real companies registered in a database corresponding to each matchmaker, excluding the matching source company. Here, it is assumed that a database is provided for each matchmaker. However, this is not limited to this, and a database shared by multiple matchmakers (shared database) may also be used. In addition, "all other companies" in the description of repeating the processing between S1103 and S1111 for all other companies may refer to all companies whose real company information is stored in the shared database, or may refer to all companies within a range limited by each matchmaker.
[0118] The corporate matching device provided for each matchmaker may be configured to update the shared database based on input information or feedback information.
[0119] This can promote the advancement of the learning level of the shared database.
[0120] [Second embodiment] The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment mainly in the configuration of real company information and the matching process.
[0121] 14 and 15 are functional block diagrams showing a company summary information generating device according to the second embodiment.
[0122] Referring to Figures 14 and 15, the company summary information generation device according to the second embodiment includes an overview generation unit 1401, a Web search unit 1402, a company summary information generation unit 1501, an API usage unit 1503, an editing unit 1506, a company summary information correction unit 1507, a first matching keyword generation unit 1508, a second matching keyword generation unit 1509, a third matching keyword generation unit 1510, and a fourth matching keyword generation unit 1511.
[0123] The summary generation unit 1401 generates information 1404 about the details of the project and / or business as part of the company summary information based on secondary information obtained by searching the World Wide Web (WWW) using a web search unit 1402 with at least one of a company name 1403a and a company URL 1403b, and, if necessary, a complementary keyword 1403c. Here, "project and / or business" means "either one or both of a project and a business."
[0124] Using only the company name 1403a may result in generating information about the projects and / or business activities of another company with the same name, but this can be avoided by using at least one of the company name 1403a and the company URL 1403b, and, if necessary, complementary keywords 1403c.
[0125] The company summary information generating unit 1501 inputs at least one of the company name 1403a and the company URL 1403b, information 1404 on the content of the project and / or business, and supplementary keywords 1403c as necessary.
[0126] Then, the company summary information generating unit 1501 uses the input information to search the WWW using the Web search unit 1402 to obtain secondary information.
[0127] In addition, the company summary information generation unit 1501 acquires primary information from a primary information source 1502 about a company that can be uniquely identified by at least one of the company name 1403a and the company URL 1403b, and, if necessary, a complementary keyword 1403c.
[0128] Furthermore, the company summary information generation unit 1501 acquires tertiary information about a company that can be uniquely identified by at least one of the company name 1403a and the company URL 1403b, and, if necessary, the complementary keyword 1403c, from a third-party database 1505. At this time, the API utilization unit 1503 may be used to acquire the tertiary information from the third-party database 1505 via the API 1504.
[0129] Furthermore, the company summary information generating unit 1501 generates first type company information, second type company information, and information related to business assets based on at least a part of the input information.
[0130] As shown in FIG. 15, the first type of corporate information includes information 1552 relating to philosophy and vision, information 1522 relating to history, information 1523 relating to sales, qualitative human resources information 1524, information 1525 relating to management profile, and negative information 1526.
[0131] As shown in FIG. 15, the second type of company information includes information 1541 about the business model, information 1542 about the industry and business type, and information 1543 about the strengths.
[0132] The information 1541 on the business model is one selected from BtoB, BtoC, CtoC, and BtoG stored in a business model database (DB) 1551.
[0133] The information 1542 relating to the industry and business type is one combination selected from a large number of combinations of industry and business type stored in the industry and business type database (DB) 1552. As shown in Fig. 15, the combination of industry and business type is, for example, a combination of manufacturing and agriculture and forestry, a combination of manufacturing and fisheries, or a combination of infrastructure and real estate.
[0134] Here, the information 1404 about the project and / or business described above is classified into the third type of Company information. seed From the company information seed The company information is made up of the company information.
[0135] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 15, information about business assets includes information about services provided 1531, information about specialized areas, possessed technologies, skills, and know-how 1532, information about business and management issues 1533, information about research and development 1534, and information about the medium-term management plan policy 1535.
[0136] In general terms, the company information and the information on business assets correspond to the actual company information in the first embodiment, and are sometimes referred to as company summary information.
[0137] The method by which the company summary information generating unit 1501 generates the first type of company information, the second type of company information, and information on business assets will be described later.
[0138] The company summary information generating unit 1507 generates the second type of company summary information so that the second company information is consistent with the information on the business assets. of Correct your company information.
[0139] The editing unit 1506 modifies at least a portion of the company information and the information related to the business assets in response to operations by the user.
[0140] The first matching keyword generation unit 1508 to the fourth matching keyword generation unit 1511 generate matching keyword groups based on information about business assets. The matching keyword groups include a keyword or keyword group 1561 related to the investment area, a keyword or keyword group 1562 related to the value provided, a keyword or keyword group 1563 related to assets held, and a keyword or keyword group 1564 related to needs.
[0141] The first matching keyword generating unit 1508 generates a keyword or keyword group 1561 relating to the investment area based on information 1534 relating to research and development and information 1535 relating to the policy of the mid-term management plan.
[0142] The second matching keyword generating unit 1509 generates a keyword or keyword group 1562 relating to the value provided based on the information 1531 relating to the provided service.
[0143] The third matching keyword generating unit 1510 generates a keyword or keyword group 1563 relating to the owned assets based on information 1532 relating to the specialized field, owned technology, skills, and know-how.
[0144] The fourth matching keyword generating unit 1511 generates a keyword or keyword group 1564 relating to needs based on information 1533 relating to business and management issues.
[0145] The company summary information and the keyword or keywords are stored in a computer-readable recording medium in association with the company's identification information.
[0146] Next, a company summary information generating method will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0147] In S1601, the summary generation unit 1401 acquires secondary information using the company name or the like.
[0148] In S1602, the summary generation unit 1401 generates information 1404 relating to the content of the project and / or business based on the secondary information acquired in S1601.
[0149] In S1603, the company summary information generating unit 1501 acquires secondary information using the information 1401 relating to the company name, project and / or business details, and the like.
[0150] In S1604, the company summary information generation unit 1501 extracts information for each item of company summary information from the secondary information acquired in S1603. Here, the k-th extracted information for item j is referred to as information Aj,ka. ka ranges from 1 to Kamax, and Kamax depends on j. Item j refers to philosophy, vision, history, negative information, services provided, areas of expertise, possessed technologies, skills, know-how, mid-term management plan policy, business model, industry, business type, and strengths.
[0151] In S1605, the company summary information generating unit 1501 acquires primary information using information that identifies the company.
[0152] In S1606, the company summary information generation unit 1501 extracts information for each item of the company summary information from the primary information acquired in S1605. Here, the kbth extracted information for item j is referred to as information Bj,kb. kb ranges from 1 to Kbmax, and Kbmax depends on j.
[0153] In S1607, the company summary information generation unit 1501 acquires tertiary information using information that identifies the company.
[0154] In S1608, the company summary information generation unit 1501 extracts information for each item of the company summary information from the tertiary information acquired in S1607. Here, the kc-th extracted information for item j is referred to as information Cj, kc. kc ranges from 1 to Kcmax, and Kcmax depends on j.
[0155] Next, steps S1609 to S1611 are repeated for all j.
[0156] In S1610 of each repetition, the company summary information generation unit 1501 generates information Xj, ke based on information Aj, ka, information Bj, kb, and information Cj, kc. Here, information Xj, ke is the ke-th company summary information for item j. For example, information X1, ke is the ke-th information related to philosophy and vision, and information X2, ke is the ke-th information related to history.
[0157] Details of S1610 will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0158] Referring to FIG. 17, in S1701, the company summary information generating unit 1501 initializes ke, which is the number of information about item j, to 1.
[0159] Next, the company summary information generating unit 1501 repeats steps S1702 to S1706 for all ka.
[0160] In S1703 of each repetition, the company summary information generating unit 1501 executes a process for generating information Xj, ke based on information Aj, ka.
[0161] For example, if j=1 and ka=1, the generation AI is loaded with information A1,1, and then given the prompt, "Based on information A1,1, generate information about the company's philosophy and vision, and use the generated information as information X1,1." As a result, information X1,1 is obtained.
[0162] Also, for example, if j=2 and ka=1, the generation AI is made to read information A2,1, and then given the prompt, "Based on information A2,1, generate information about the company's history, and use the generated information as information X2,1." As a result, information X2,1 is obtained.
[0163] In S1704, the company summary information generating unit 1501 determines whether or not the information Xj, ke has been generated based on the information Aj, ka in S1704.
[0164] If the determination result in S1704 is affirmative, the company summary information generating unit 1501 increments Ke by 1 in S1705 and then ends the current iteration, whereas if the determination result is negative, it immediately ends the current iteration.
[0165] When the repetition of steps S1702 to S1706 is completed, in step S1707, the company summary generating unit 1501 assigns the current value of ke to kemax.
[0166] Referring to FIG. 18, the company summary information generating unit 1501 repeats the processes from S1801 to S1809 for all kb (kb from 1 to Kbmax).
[0167] In S1802 of each repetition of S1801 to S1809, the company summary information generating unit 1501 executes a process for generating information X based on information Bj and kb.
[0168] For example, if j=1 and kb=1, the generation AI is loaded with information B1, 1, and then given the prompt, "Based on information B1, 1, generate information about the company's philosophy and vision, and let the generated information be information X." As a result, information X is obtained.
[0169] Also, for example, if j=2 and kb=1, the generation AI is made to read information B2,1, and then given the prompt, "Based on information B2,1, generate information about the company's history, and let the generated information be information X." As a result, information X is obtained.
[0170] In S1803, the company summary information generating unit 1501 determines whether or not the information X has been generated based on the information Bj and kb in S1802.
[0171] If the determination result in S1803 is affirmative, the company summary information generation unit 1501 advances the process to S1804, whereas if the determination result is negative, the company summary information generation unit 1501 immediately ends the current iteration.
[0172] In S1804, the company summary information generation unit 1501 compares the information X with any of the existing information Xj, ke to determine whether the items are the same. Here, whether the items are the same means whether <item 1> and <item 2> are the same, for example, if the information X can be expressed by the expression "<item 1> is <content 1>," and the information Xj, ke can be expressed by the expression "<item 2> is <content 2>."
[0173] If the determination result in S1804 is affirmative, the company summary information generation unit 1501 advances the process to S1805, and if the determination result is negative, the company summary information generation unit 1501 advances the process to S1807.
[0174] In S1805, the company summary information generation unit 1501 compares information X with Xj, ke that have the same item as information X to determine whether the contents are the same. Here, whether the contents are the same means, for example, if information X can be expressed by the expression "<item 1> is <content 1>," and information Xj, ke can be expressed by the expression "<item 2> is <content 2>," whether <item 1> and <item 2> are the same and whether <content 1> and <content 2> are the same.
[0175] If the determination result of S1805 is positive, the company summary information generation unit 1501 terminates the current iteration. On the other hand, if the determination result is negative, the company summary information generation unit 1501 merges information X with information Xj, ke and then terminates the current iteration. Here, merging information X with information Xj, ke means, for example, if information X can be expressed by the expression "<Item 1> is <Content 1>," and information Xj, ke can be expressed by the expression "<Item 1> is <Content 1> according to <Information Source #1>, and is <Content 2> according to <Information Source #2>." Here, the information source refers to a primary information source, a secondary information source, or a tertiary information source. As will be described later, S1806 may be executed again by repeating S1901 to S1909, which may result in the expression of information Xj, ke as "<Item 1> is <Content 1> according to <Information Source #1>, <Content 2> according to <Information Source #2>, and <Content 3> according to <Information Source #3>."
[0176] In S1807, the company summary information generating unit 1501 increases Kemax by one.
[0177] In S1808, the company summary information generating unit 1501 sets the information X as the information Xj, Kemax.
[0178] Referring to FIG. 19, the company summary information generating unit 1501 repeats the processes from S1901 to S1909 for all kc (kc from 1 to Kcmax).
[0179] In S1902 of each repetition of S1901 to S1909, the company summary information generating unit 1501 executes a process for generating information X based on information Cj and kc.
[0180] For example, if j=1 and kc=1, the generation AI is loaded with information C1,1, and then given the prompt, "Based on information C1,1, generate information about the company's philosophy and vision, and let the generated information be information X." As a result, information X is obtained.
[0181] Also, for example, if j=2 and kc=1, the generation AI is made to read information C2,1, and then given a prompt saying, "Based on information C2,1, generate information about the company's history, and let the generated information be information X." As a result, information X is obtained.
[0182] In S1903, the company summary information generating unit 1501 determines whether or not the information X has been generated based on the information Cj and kc in S1902.
[0183] If the determination result in S1903 is affirmative, the company summary information generating unit 1501 advances the process to S1904, whereas if the determination result is negative, the company summary information generating unit 1501 immediately ends the current iteration.
[0184] In S1904, the company summary information generation unit 1501 compares the information X with any of the existing information Xj, ke to determine whether the items are the same. Here, whether the items are the same means whether <item 1> and <item 2> are the same, for example, if the information X can be expressed by the expression "<item 1> is <content 1>," and the information Xj, ke can be expressed by the expression "<item 2> is <content 2>."
[0185] If the determination result in S1904 is affirmative, the company summary information generating unit 1501 advances the process to S1905, and if the determination result is negative, the company summary information generating unit 1501 advances the process to S1907.
[0186] In S1905, the company summary information generation unit 1501 compares information X with Xj, ke that have the same item as information X to determine whether the contents are the same. Here, whether the contents are the same means, for example, if information X can be expressed by the expression "<item 1> is <content 1>," and information Xj, ke can be expressed by the expression "<item 2> is <content 2>," whether <item 1> and <item 2> are the same and whether <content 1> and <content 2> are the same.
[0187] If the determination result of S1905 is positive, the company summary information generation unit 1501 terminates the current iteration. On the other hand, if the determination result is negative, the company summary information generation unit 1501 merges information X with information Xj, ke and then terminates the current iteration. Here, merging information X with information Xj, ke means, for example, if information X can be expressed by the expression "<Item 1> is <Content 1>," and information Xj, ke can be expressed by the expression "<Item 1> is <Content 1> according to <Information Source #1>, and is <Content 2> according to <Information Source #2>." Here, the information source refers to a primary information source, a secondary information source, or a tertiary information source. In addition, the information Xj and ke can also be expressed as "<Item 1> is <Content 1> according to <Information Source #1>, <Content 2> according to <Information Source #2>, and <Content 3> according to <Information Source #3>."
[0188] In S1907, the company summary information generating unit 1501 increases Kemax by one.
[0189] In S1908, the company summary information generating unit 1501 sets the information X as the information Xj, Kemax.
[0190] Next, with reference to FIG. 20, a method for searching for companies that can be candidates for a matching company via an ideal matching company will be described.
[0191] The ideal matching company generating unit 2001 generates information on a plurality of ideal matching company candidates based on the company summary information of the matching source company and the purpose 2002 of the company matching.
[0192] The information about each ideal matching company includes information about the ideal company's overview 2003, information about the business model 2004, information about the industry / sector 2005, information about strengths 2006, and information about synergy effects 2007.
[0193] The information 2004 relating to the business model is one selected from BtoB, BtoC, CtoC, and BtoG stored in the business model database (DB) 1551 .
[0194] The information 2005 on the industry and business type is one combination selected from a large number of combinations of industry and business type stored in the industry and business type database (DB) 1552. As shown in FIG. 15, the combination of industry and business type is, for example, a combination of manufacturing and agriculture and forestry, a combination of manufacturing and fisheries, or a combination of infrastructure and real estate.
[0195] Multiple ideal match candidates are displayed on a screen like the one shown in Figure 6.
[0196] The selection unit 2008 selects one ideal company from a plurality of ideal companies based on the user's operation on the screen shown in FIG.
[0197] The matching confirmation unit (not shown) confirms whether or not each company other than the matching source company (i.e., the confirmation target company) can be matched with the matching source company based on the information of the selected ideal company. In other words, it confirms whether or not each company other than the matching source company can be a candidate for the matching target company based on the information of the selected ideal company.
[0198] In this verification, the matching verification unit performs the following:
[0199] Verification 1: It is confirmed whether or not the information 1541 on the business model of the company to be verified includes the information 2004 on the selected ideal company's business model. Here, the information 2004 on the selected ideal company's business model is one selected from BtoB, BtoC, CtoC, and BtoG, whereas the information 1541 on the business model of the company to be verified includes one or more selected from BtoB, BtoC, CtoC, and BtoG. Therefore, rather than confirming whether or not the information 2004 on the selected ideal company's business model is the same as the information 1541 on the business model of the company to be verified, it is confirmed whether or not the information 1541 on the business model of the company to be verified includes the information 2004 on the selected ideal company's business model.
[0200] Verification 2: It is confirmed whether or not the information 2005 on the industry and industry of the selected ideal company is included in the information 1542 on the industry and industry of the company to be verified. Here, the industry and industry of the selected ideal company is one industry and industry, whereas the industry and industry of the company to be verified includes one or more industries and industries. Therefore, rather than confirming whether or not the information 2005 on the industry and industry of the selected ideal company is the same as the information 1542 on the industry and industry of the company to be verified, it is confirmed whether or not the information 2005 on the industry and industry of the selected ideal company is included in the information 1542 on the industry and industry of the company to be verified.
[0201] Companies with positive results in both Check 1 and Check 2 are selected as potential candidates for matching companies.
[0202] Generally, there may be multiple companies that can be candidates for a matching company. If there are multiple companies that can be candidates for a matching company, the matching confirmation unit ranks them and ultimately selects a predetermined number of the top companies as companies that can be candidates for a matching company.
[0203] The ranking of multiple companies that can be candidates for a matching company is performed as follows. That is, a number is calculated according to the extent to which the information 1404 about the project and / or business content of each company that can be a matching company contains information 2006 about ideal companies, and the ranking is performed based on the size of the number. Here, to calculate the number, Embedding-based approach (converts text into vectors and calculates the similarity between the vectors) Similarity assessment using language models (explicitly asking an LLM such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, "How similar are the meanings of these two sentences? (on a scale from 0 to 1)") Natural language inference-based (method of determining whether text 1 implies text 2) TF-IDF + Cosine Similarity (a method of measuring vocabulary similarity by vectorizing sentences on a word-by-word basis) - Matching using evaluation indices (using BLEU, ROUGE, METEOR, BERTScore, etc. as "matching" scores) The following methods may also be used.
[0204] Next, a method for searching for companies that can be candidates for a matching company without going through an ideal matching company will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0205] Seven candidates for the purpose of company matching are arranged so that they can be selected on the purpose selection screen 501 shown in Fig. 5. In the example of Fig. 5, the seven candidates are: Business Transfer / Business Succession 506 ·M&A・Investment 507 ·Business Development509 Partner Development 510 ·Investment starting point 512 ·Task starting point 513 Industry 514 However, in this example, - Business divestitures (see Figure 21(a)) M&A (see Figure 21(b)) Investment Area (see Figure 22(a)) -Problem origin (see Figure 22(b)) Sales development (see Figure 23(a)) Partner development (see Figure 23(b)) is.
[0206] In this method, at least one group of keywords for each category is selected from matching keywords or groups of matching keywords for each of a plurality of categories of matching source companies, depending on the purpose of company matching.
[0207] Furthermore, in this method, information on business assets relating to at least one item is selected from information on business assets relating to a plurality of items of the company to be checked, according to the purpose of company matching.
[0208] Then, in this method, items of information about the business assets to be checked are assigned to categories of keywords or keyword groups according to the purpose of business matching.
[0209] In this method, a full-text search is performed on business asset information related to the item of the allocation recipient using a keyword or keyword group belonging to the category of the allocation source.The full-text search value is then calculated for each combination of the keyword or keyword group category and the information item related to the business asset.The total value of the full-text search value for all combinations is then calculated.Then, the companies to be confirmed are displayed in order of total value on the candidate list screen 701 shown in Figure 7.
[0210] In the example shown in FIG. 21(a), the purpose of company matching is "business sale," and the keyword categories of the matching source company to be selected are value provided 1562 and owned assets 1563. The business asset items to be selected of the confirmation target company are business and management issues 1533, research and development 1534, and medium-term management plan policy 1535. A first full-text search value is obtained by searching for business assets for the business and management issues 1533 item using a keyword or keyword group belonging to value provided 1562. Similarly, a second full-text search value is obtained by searching for business assets for the research and development 1534 item using a keyword or keyword group belonging to owned assets 1563. Similarly, a third full-text search value is obtained by searching for business assets for the medium-term management plan 1535 item using a keyword or keyword group belonging to owned assets 1563. Then, the sum of the first to third full-text search values is obtained.
[0211] In the example shown in FIG. 21(b), the purpose of business matching is "M&A," and the keyword categories of the matching source company to be selected are investment area 1561 and needs 1564. The business asset items of the confirmation target company to be selected are provided services 1531 and specialized area, possessed technology, skills, and know-how 1532. A first full-text search value is obtained by searching for business assets for the specialized area, possessed technology, skills, and know-how 1532 item using a keyword or keyword group belonging to investment area 1561. Similarly, a second full-text search value is obtained by searching for business assets for the provided services 1531 item using a keyword or keyword group belonging to needs. Then, the sum of the first and second full-text search values is obtained.
