[0016] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In all the drawings, the same components are given the same reference numerals and the description will be omitted as appropriate.

[0017] <Summary> First, an overview of the technology of this embodiment will be described. The technology of this embodiment is a technology that can provide a means and opportunity for reviewing transactions of investment products such as stocks. The technology of this embodiment is used, for example, by business entities (such as securities companies) that act as intermediaries for buying and selling investment products. The business entity uses the technology of this embodiment to provide customers with information that can provide a means and opportunity for reviewing transactions of investment products. For example, the information is provided to customers via a web page or application of the business entity. Note that this use example is merely an example and is not limited to this.

[0018] The technique of the present embodiment is realized by a data processing device that generates data to be provided to a customer, and an information providing server that transmits predetermined information to a customer's terminal in response to a customer's request.

[0019] The data processing device identifies, from among the business entity's customers, customers whose buying and selling timing is useful (e.g., customers who are making profits) as reference customers. Next, the data processing device generates data showing the buying and selling tendencies of the reference customers over time based on the past investment product transaction data of the identified reference customers. Then, the information providing server provides the customer with a screen that displays the generated data showing the buying and selling tendencies of the reference customers over time and data showing the price changes of investment products over time.

[0020] An example of the information is shown in (4) of Figure 1. Details will be explained below, but (4-1) of Figure 1 is data showing the time series price changes of investment products, and (4-2) of Figure 1 is data showing the buying and selling tendencies of reference clients over time. In (4-2) of Figure 1, the buying tendencies of reference clients are shown over time. A larger value indicates a stronger buying tendency, and a smaller value indicates a weaker buying tendency. Note that by operating the screen, it is possible to switch between a graph showing the buying tendency of the reference client and a graph showing the selling tendency. The selling tendency of the reference client is shown in the same manner as the buying tendency. This screen allows the client to confirm the relationship between the price changes of investment products and the buying and selling tendencies of the reference client.

[0021] The data processing device also estimates the cause of the trading tendency of the reference target client at each timing based on the past investment product transaction data of the identified reference target client and the past state values ​​of each of a plurality of decision-making items (items that may affect the decision to buy or sell the investment product, such as the number of days since the previous settlement).Then, the information providing server provides the client with a screen showing the estimation result, i.e., the cause of the trading tendency of the reference target client at each timing.

[0022] An example of this information is shown in Figure 1 (5). Details will be explained below, but Figure 1 (5) shows the factors presumed to be the cause of the reference customer's buying tendency on June 3, 2019 and their status values. This screen enables customers to check what factors the reference customer is using to decide the timing of buying and selling.

[0023] "Configuration of Data Processing Device" Next, the configuration of the data processing device will be described. As described above, the data processing device is a device that generates data to be provided to a customer.

[0024] <Hardware configuration> An example of the hardware configuration of a data processing device will be described. Fig. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of a data processing device. Each functional unit of the data processing device is realized by any combination of hardware and software, centering on a CPU (Central Processing Unit) of any computer, memory, programs loaded into the memory, a storage unit such as a hard disk for storing the programs (programs stored beforehand at the stage of shipping the device, as well as programs downloaded from storage media such as CDs (Compact Discs) or servers on the Internet, can be stored), and a network connection interface. Those skilled in the art will understand that there are various variations in the methods and devices for realizing the above.

[0025] As shown in Fig. 2, the data processing device has a processor 1A, a memory 2A, an input / output interface 3A, a peripheral circuit 4A, and a bus 5A. The peripheral circuit 4A includes various modules. The data processing device does not have to have the peripheral circuit 4A. The data processing device may be composed of multiple devices that are physically and / or logically separated, or may be composed of a single device that is physically and logically integrated. In the former case, each of the multiple devices that make up the data processing device can have the above hardware configuration.

[0026] The bus 5A is a data transmission path for the processor 1A, memory 2A, peripheral circuit 4A, and input / output interface 3A to transmit and receive data to each other. The processor 1A is an arithmetic processing device such as a CPU or a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit). The memory 2A is a memory such as a RAM (Random Access Memory) or a ROM (Read Only Memory). The input / output interface 3A includes an interface for acquiring information from an input device, an external device, an external server, an external sensor, etc., and an interface for outputting information to an output device, an external device, an external server, etc. Examples of the input device include a keyboard, a mouse, a microphone, etc. Examples of the output device include a display, a speaker, a printer, a mailer, etc. The processor 1A can issue commands to each module and perform calculations based on the results of those calculations.

[0027] <Functional configuration> Next, a functional configuration of the data processing device will be described. An example of a functional block diagram of the data processing device 20 is shown in Fig. 3. As shown in the figure, the data processing device 20 has an identifying unit 21, a calculating unit 22, and a second storage unit 23.

[0028] The identification unit 21 identifies a plurality of reference target customers who satisfy the reference criteria from among a plurality of customers. The identification result is used in the process by the calculation unit 22 described below.

[0029] The "customer" is a customer of a business entity that uses the technology of this embodiment.

[0030] An "entity that uses the technology of this embodiment" is, for example, an entity that acts as an intermediary for the buying and selling of investment products.

[0031] Examples of "investment products" include, but are not limited to, stocks, investment trusts, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), foreign exchange margin trading (FX), gold, virtual currencies, bonds, and real estate investment trusts (REITs).

[0032] The "reference standard" is set so that it is met by customers for whom the timing of buying and selling is useful, and is not met by customers for whom the timing of buying and selling is not useful.

[0033] For example, the reference standard is defined using the unrealized profit and loss in the reference period. An example of a standard using the unrealized profit and loss in the reference period is "the unrealized profit and loss in the reference period corresponds to the top M% of all customers." According to such a reference standard, customers who are generating particularly excellent profits among all customers are identified as reference target customers.

[0034] In addition, the reference standard may be defined using at least one of the number of transactions per day during the reference period, the total number of transactions during the reference period, and the number of stocks traded during the reference period, in addition to the unrealized profit and loss during the reference period.

[0035] An example of a criterion using the number of transactions per day in the reference period is "the statistical value (maximum, average, mode, etc.) of the number of transactions per day in the reference period is equal to or less than a first reference value." According to such a reference criterion, day traders who frequently trade can be excluded from reference customers.

[0036] An example of a criterion using the total number of transactions during the reference period is "the total number of transactions during the reference period is equal to or greater than a second reference value." By using such a reference criterion, customers who trade very infrequently can be excluded from the reference customers.

[0037] An example of a criterion using the number of issues traded within the reference period is "the number of issues traded within the reference period is equal to or greater than a third threshold value." By using such a reference criterion, customers who trade very infrequently can be excluded from the reference customers.

[0038] For example, the reference criterion may be a criterion using the unrealized profit or loss during the reference period and at least one of a criterion using the number of transactions per day during the reference period, a criterion using the total number of transactions during the reference period, and a criterion using the number of stocks traded during the reference period, connected by a logical operator (e.g., "logical AND").

[0039] The "reference period" is a period used for reference in identifying reference customers. There are various ways to define the reference period. For example, the reference period may be a specified period in the most recent period (e.g., the most recent year, the most recent six months, etc.). When the reference period is defined in this way, the reference period is updated daily. As a result, the customers identified as reference customers may also change daily. Note that the reference period may also be defined in other ways, such as the previous month, the previous year, the previous fiscal year, etc.

[0040] Furthermore, the reference period may be a predetermined fixed value, or may be freely set by the client. In the latter case, the client can specify a desired period and learn the timing of buying and selling from reference clients who have made good profits during that period. For example, by setting a long reference period, clients who have made good profits over a long period of time can be set as reference clients. Also, by setting a period during which the price of an investment product is falling as the reference period, clients who have made good results during that period can be set as reference clients.

[0041] The second storage unit 23 stores past investment product transaction data (trading history, profit and loss, profit, etc.) of each of a plurality of clients. The identification unit 21 identifies a plurality of reference target clients who satisfy the reference criteria based on the investment product transaction data stored in the second storage unit 23.

[0042] The identifying unit 21 may further identify a plurality of comparison target customers who satisfy the comparison criteria from among the plurality of customers. The identification result is used in the process by the calculation unit 22 described below.

[0043] The "comparison criteria" are set so that they are met by customers for whom the timing of buying and selling is not useful, and are not met by customers for whom the timing of buying and selling is useful.

[0044] For example, the comparison standard is defined using the unrealized profit and loss in the reference period. An example of a standard using the unrealized profit and loss in the reference period is "the unrealized profit and loss in the reference period corresponds to the bottom N% of all customers." According to such a comparison standard, customers who are not particularly profitable among all customers are identified as comparison target customers.

[0045] As with the reference standard, the comparison standard may be defined using at least one of the number of transactions per day during the reference period, the total number of transactions during the reference period, and the number of stocks traded during the reference period, in addition to the unrealized profit and loss during the reference period. Details are the same as for the reference standard. By defining the comparison standard using such items, it is possible to exclude day traders who trade frequently and customers who trade very infrequently from comparison target customers.

[0046] The second storage unit 23 stores past investment product transaction data (trading history, profit and loss, profit, etc.) of each of a plurality of clients. The identification unit 21 identifies a plurality of comparison target clients who satisfy a comparison criterion based on the investment product transaction data stored in the second storage unit 23.

[0047] The calculation unit 22 executes a process of calculating the reference target customer trading tendency time series data and a process of estimating the cause of the trading tendency at each timing indicated by the reference target customer trading tendency time series data. Each process will be described in detail below.

[0048] - Calculating time series data on reference customer buying and selling trends - The calculation unit 22 calculates reference target client trading tendency time series data for each issue based on past investment product trading data of the multiple reference target clients identified by the identification unit 21.

[0049] "Reference customer trading tendency time series data" is data that shows the trading tendency of multiple reference customers in a time series. The data in (4-2) in Figure 1 is the reference customer trading tendency time series data.

[0050] The calculation unit 22 separately generates reference target customer buying and selling tendency time series data showing the buying tendency of multiple reference target customers in a time series and reference target customer buying and selling tendency time series data showing the selling tendency of multiple reference target customers in a time series. There are cases where the buying tendency and the selling tendency become strong or weak at the same time. For this reason, data showing the buying tendency and data showing the selling tendency are separately generated.

[0051] The reference target customer buying and selling tendency time series data, which shows the buying tendency of multiple reference target customers in a time series, is data that indicates the strength of the buying tendency in a numerical value for each predetermined unit period. The calculation unit 22 calculates a numerical value indicating the strength of the buying tendency for each unit period based on a predetermined arithmetic formula. In (4-2) of FIG. 1, the unit period is "1 day", and the strength of the buying tendency is indicated by "a value in the range of maximum value +5, minimum value -5". The larger the value, the stronger the buying tendency. Note that this is merely an example, and is not limited to this.

[0052] Furthermore, the reference target customer buying and selling tendency time series data, which indicates the selling tendency of multiple reference target customers in a time series, is data which indicates the strength of the selling tendency in a numerical value for each predetermined unit period. The calculation unit 22 calculates a numerical value indicating the strength of the selling tendency for each unit period based on a predetermined arithmetic formula. As in the example of (4-2) in FIG. 1, for example, the unit period is "1 day", and the strength of the selling tendency is indicated by "a value in the range of maximum value +5, minimum value -5". The larger the value, the stronger the selling tendency. Note that this example is merely an example, and is not limited to this.

[0053] There are various methods for calculating the strength of the buying trend and the strength of the selling trend, and various methods can be adopted in this embodiment. An example will be described below.

[0054] -Calculation example 1- In this example, the strength of the purchasing trend for each unit period is calculated based on the results of a comparison with "the extent to which the reference target customers have increased / decreased their purchasing compared to a specified period," i.e., the strength of the purchasing trend for each unit period.

[0055] The greater the degree of increase in purchases compared to the specified period, the greater the value indicating the strength of the purchasing trend is set, whereas the greater the degree of decrease in purchases compared to the specified period, the smaller the value indicating the strength of the purchasing trend is set.

[0056] The predetermined period may be the most recent few days, the most recent few months, the most recent year, or any other period.

[0057] A more detailed explanation will be given with reference to FIG. 4. FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the concept of the process for calculating the strength of the buying tendency on March 5th. In the figure, the five days from February 27th to March 4th correspond to the specified period. The buying status of the reference target customers on each day is shown by a bar graph and the numerical value (number of purchased shares) displayed above it. The number of purchased shares indicating the buying status of the reference target customers is a statistical value (total value, average value, etc.) of the number of purchased shares of each of multiple reference target customers. Note that the method of indicating the buying status by the number of purchased shares is an example when the investment target is stocks. The buying status of the reference target customers can be expressed numerically by an appropriate method according to the type of investment target.

[0058] In the example of Figure 4, the buying situation on March 5th is greater than the buying situation in the specified period (the average value for the specified period). Therefore, the numerical value indicating the strength of the buying trend on March 5th is a positive value. And, the greater the deviation between the buying situation on March 5th and the buying situation in the specified period (the average value for the specified period), the greater the numerical value indicating the strength of the buying trend on March 5th.

[0059] Although not shown, if the buying situation on March 5 is smaller than the buying situation in the specified period (the average value for the specified period), the numerical value indicating the strength of the buying trend on March 5 will be a negative value. The greater the deviation between the buying situation on March 5 and the buying situation in the specified period (the average value for the specified period), the smaller the numerical value indicating the strength of the buying trend on March 5 will be.

[0060] -Calculation example 2- In this example, the strength of the purchasing tendency of the reference customer for each unit period is calculated based on "the extent to which the reference customer has increased / decreased purchasing compared to a specified period" and "the extent to which the comparison customer has increased / decreased purchasing compared to a specified period."

[0061] The greater the degree to which the reference target customer has increased purchases compared to the specified period, the greater the numerical value indicating the strength of the reference target customer's purchasing tendency is made.In this case, the smaller the degree to which the comparison target customer has increased purchases compared to the specified period, the greater the numerical value indicating the strength of the reference target customer's purchasing tendency is made.

[0062] The greater the degree to which the reference target customer has reduced purchases compared to the specified period, the smaller the value indicating the strength of the reference target customer's purchasing tendency is made.In this case, the smaller the degree to which the comparison target customer has reduced purchases compared to the specified period, the smaller the value indicating the strength of the reference target customer's purchasing tendency is made.

[0063] The predetermined period may be the most recent few days, the most recent few months, the most recent year, or any other period.

[0064] A more detailed explanation will be given using FIG. 5. FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the concept of the process of calculating the strength of the buying tendency of the reference target customer on March 5th. The bar graph shows the buying status of each of the reference target customer and the comparison target customer on March 5th, and the buying status in a specified period (average value for the specified period). The buying status of the reference target customer is a statistical value (total value, average value, etc.) of the number of shares purchased by each of multiple reference target customers. Similarly, the buying status of the comparison target customer is a statistical value (total value, average value, etc.) of the number of shares purchased by each of multiple comparison target customers. Note that the method of showing the buying status by the number of shares purchased is an example when the investment target is stocks. The buying status of the reference target customer can be expressed in numerical terms using an appropriate method according to the type of investment target.

[0065] In the example of FIG. 5, the buying situation of the reference target customer on March 5th is greater than the buying situation of the reference target customer in the specified period (average value for the specified period). Therefore, the numerical value indicating the strength of the buying tendency of the reference target customer on March 5th is a positive value. And, the greater the deviation between the buying situation of the reference target customer on March 5th and the buying situation of the reference target customer in the specified period (average value for the specified period), the greater the numerical value indicating the strength of the buying tendency of the reference target customer on March 5th. And, the smaller the buying situation of the comparison target customer on March 5th is than the buying situation of the comparison target customer in the specified period (average value for the specified period), the greater the numerical value indicating the strength of the buying tendency of the reference target customer on March 5th.

[0066] Although not shown, if the buying situation of the reference target customer on March 5th is smaller than the buying situation of the reference target customer in the specified period (average value for the specified period), the numerical value indicating the strength of the buying tendency of the reference target customer on March 5th will be a negative value. The greater the deviation between the buying situation of the reference target customer on March 5th and the buying situation of the reference target customer in the specified period (average value for the specified period), the smaller the numerical value indicating the strength of the buying tendency of the reference target customer on March 5th will be. Furthermore, the greater the buying situation of the comparison target customer on March 5th is than the buying situation of the comparison target customer in the specified period (average value for the specified period), the smaller the numerical value indicating the strength of the buying tendency of the reference target customer on March 5th will be.

[0067] In this way, by using the data of the comparison target customers, it is possible to highlight the timing of particularly noteworthy periods in the buying and selling trends of the reference target customers, i.e., periods showing different trends from those of the comparison target customers.

[0068] -Calculation example 3- In this example, the strength of the selling trend for each unit period is calculated based on "the extent to which the reference customer has increased / decreased selling compared to a specified period," i.e., the results of a comparison with the selling trend for a specified period.

[0069] The greater the degree of increase in selling compared to the specified period, the greater the value indicating the strength of the selling trend is set to, and the greater the degree of decrease in selling compared to the specified period, the smaller the value indicating the strength of the selling trend is set to.

[0070] The predetermined period may be the most recent few days, the most recent few months, the most recent year, etc. The details are the same as those in the first calculation example.

[0071] -Calculation example 4- In this example, the strength of the selling tendency of the reference customer is calculated based on "the extent to which the reference customer has increased / decreased sales compared to a specified period" and "the extent to which the comparison customer has increased / decreased sales compared to a specified period."

[0072] The greater the degree to which the reference target customer has increased sales compared to the specified period, the greater the numerical value indicating the strength of the reference target customer's selling tendency is made.In this case, the smaller the degree to which the comparison target customer has increased sales compared to the specified period, the greater the numerical value indicating the strength of the reference target customer's selling tendency is made.

[0073] The greater the degree to which the reference target customer has reduced sales compared to the specified period, the smaller the numerical value indicating the strength of the reference target customer's selling tendency is made.In this case, the smaller the degree to which the comparison target customer has reduced sales compared to the specified period, the smaller the numerical value indicating the strength of the reference target customer's selling tendency is made.

[0074] The predetermined period may be the most recent few days, the most recent few months, the most recent year, etc. The details are the same as in the second calculation example.

[0075] In this way, by using the data of the comparison target customers, it is possible to highlight the timing of particularly noteworthy periods in the buying and selling trends of the reference target customers, i.e., periods showing different trends from those of the comparison target customers.

[0076] - A process to estimate the causes of trading trends at each timing shown in the time series data of reference customer trading trends - The calculation unit 22 estimates the cause of the trading tendency at each timing indicated in the reference target customer trading tendency time series data based on the past investment product trading data of the multiple reference target customers identified by the identification unit 21 and the past state values ​​of each of the multiple decision-making items.

[0077] Factors for decision-making are those that can affect the decision to buy or sell an investment product. Factors for decision-making differ for each investment product. For example, factors for decision-making when the investment product is a stock are the moving average deviation (5 days), moving average deviation (25 days), moving average deviation (75 days), golden cross (5-day and 25-day moving averages), and dead cross (5-day and 25-day moving averages) that can be obtained from the stock price chart. Other items to consider when the investment product is a stock include various information about the company, such as the number of years since establishment, market, number of days since listing, industry, full-year sales, full-year operating profit, full-year ordinary profit, full-year net profit, full-year sales compared to the previous year, full-year operating profit compared to the previous year, full-year ordinary profit compared to the previous year, full-year net profit compared to the previous year, number of news items, number of weekly news items, number of timely disclosures, number of weekly timely disclosures, expected PER (price-earnings ratio), expected EPS (earnings per share), expected ROE (return on equity ratio), expected dividend yield, actual dividend yield, actual dividend payout ratio, actual PBR (price-to-book ratio), actual BPS (book value per share), etc. Note that the examples given here are merely examples and are not limited to these.

[0078] Here, the process of estimating the cause of the buying and selling tendency at each timing will be described. The calculation unit 22 estimates the cause of the buying and selling tendency at each timing from these "past state values ​​of the judgment items" using a model that regresses the above-mentioned "reference target customer buying and selling tendency time series data". When calculating values ​​indicating the strength of the buying tendency and selling tendency of the reference target customer on a daily basis as in (4-2) of FIG. 1, the calculation unit 22 estimates the cause of the strength of the buying tendency and the cause of the strength of the selling tendency on a daily basis.

[0079] The model is realized by using the learning means disclosed in Patent Document 4. The model is generated by learning using the past investment product transaction data (objective variable) of multiple reference clients and the past state values ​​(explanatory variables) of multiple decision-making items as training data. According to the model, it is possible to specify a rule that contributes well to the regression of the "reference client trading tendency time-series data" from among a large number of rules generated in advance by combining one or more of the decision-making items. Examples of the rule include, but are not limited to, "full-year ordinary profit is 5% or more compared to the previous year" and "full-year ordinary profit is 5% or more compared to the previous year and the industry is the service industry."

[0080] "Configuring the information provider server" Next, the configuration of the information providing server will be described. As described above, the information providing server is a device that transmits predetermined information to a customer's terminal in response to a customer's request.

[0081] <Hardware configuration> An example of the hardware configuration of the information providing server will be described. Fig. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of the information providing server. Each functional unit of the information providing server is realized by any combination of hardware and software, centering on a central processing unit (CPU) of any computer, memory, programs loaded into the memory, a storage unit such as a hard disk for storing the programs (programs stored beforehand at the stage of shipping the device, as well as programs downloaded from storage media such as a compact disc (CD) or a server on the Internet, can be stored), and a network connection interface. Those skilled in the art will understand that there are various variations in the methods and devices for realizing the above.

[0082] As shown in FIG. 2, the information providing server has a processor 1A, a memory 2A, an input / output interface 3A, a peripheral circuit 4A, and a bus 5A. The peripheral circuit 4A includes various modules. The information providing server does not have to have the peripheral circuit 4A. The information providing server may be composed of multiple devices that are physically and / or logically separated, or may be composed of a single device that is physically and logically integrated. In the former case, each of the multiple devices that make up the information providing server can have the above hardware configuration.

[0083] <Functional configuration> The functional configuration of the information providing server will be described. An example of a functional block diagram of the information providing server 10 is shown in Fig. 6. As shown in the figure, the information providing server 10 has a communication unit 11, an output unit 12, a screen generation unit 13, and a first storage unit 14.

[0084] The communication unit 11 communicates with customer terminals via a communication network such as the Internet. The customer terminals include, but are not limited to, smartphones, mobile phones, tablet terminals, personal computers, smart watches, and the like.

[0085] The first storage unit 14 stores the calculation results of the calculation unit 22. The screen generation unit 13 generates a screen including predetermined information using the data stored in the first storage unit 14 in response to a request from a customer. The output unit 12 transmits (outputs) the screen generated by the screen generation unit 13 to the customer terminal via the communication unit 11. As a result, the screen is displayed on the customer terminal. The transmission and reception of the screen is realized, for example, via a web page or an application.

[0086] An example of a screen displayed on a client terminal is shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 shows an example of a screen when the investment product is a stock.

[0087] In FIG. 1 (1), the name of the stock specified by the customer, the current stock price, the price change from the previous day, the number of stocks held by the customer, the total valuation, and the total valuation profit and loss are displayed.

[0088] Figure 1 (2) displays a UI (user interface) component that enables a customer to select a desired stock from among stocks that have been traded in the past.

[0089] (3) in Figure 1 shows the past trading history for the stock specified by the customer.

[0090] In FIG. 1 (4), a price chart (FIG. 1 (4-1)) showing the time-series price changes of a stock (investment product) specified by a customer is displayed side by side with reference target customer trading tendency time series data (FIG. 1 (4-2)) showing the time-series trading tendency of the stock of multiple reference target customers. Based on the data calculated by the data processing device 20, the graph display shown in FIG. 1 (4-2) is realized. In the illustrated example, the price chart and the reference target customer trading tendency time series data are displayed in the same time series. That is, the displayed period, memory unit, memory interval, value of each memory, etc. are the same. The price chart and the reference target customer trading tendency time series data are displayed vertically so that data of the same date and time are vertically aligned.

[0091] In addition, in (4-2) of FIG. 1, a UI component that allows the selection of "sell" or "buy" is displayed. In (4-2) of FIG. 1, "buy" is selected, and reference target customer buying and selling tendency time series data that shows the buying tendency of multiple reference target customers over time is displayed. When "sell" is selected, the content of the graph in (4-2) of FIG. 1 switches to reference target customer buying and selling tendency time series data that shows the selling tendency of multiple reference target customers over time. In this way, the reference target customer buying and selling tendency time series data that shows the buying tendency of multiple reference target customers over time and the reference target customer buying and selling tendency time series data that shows the selling tendency of multiple reference target customers over time are displayed separately.

[0092] In (5) of Fig. 1, the judgment factors presumed to be the causes of the purchase tendency of the reference target customer at the timing designated by the customer and their state values ​​are shown. Based on the data calculated by the data processing device 20, the display shown in (5) of Fig. 1 is realized.

[0093] In the figure, June 3, 2019 is specified. For example, the timing may be specified by an operation of selecting one bar graph on the graph of (4-2) in FIG.

[0094] In Figure 1 (5), the rules that contribute most to the regression of the "reference customer trading tendency time series data" identified from among many rules are displayed in pairs along with the contribution degree indicating the degree to which each rule contributes to the regression. The figure shows three rules and their respective contribution degrees. The larger the contribution degree value, the greater the degree to which each rule contributed to the regression of the reference customer trading tendency time series data.

[0095] Although three rules are shown in the figure, the number of rules to be displayed here is a matter of design. From the viewpoint of ease of viewing, the screen generating unit 13 may be provided with a means for appropriately selecting a rule to be displayed on the screen from among the multiple rules that contributed to the regression.

[0096] For example, the screen generating unit 13 may select rules to be displayed on the screen based on the condition that "a predetermined number of rules are selected in order of the degree of contribution."

[0097] Additionally, the screen generating unit 13 may include a means for not selecting rules with similar contents in a duplicated manner. For example, the screen generating unit 13 may select a rule to be displayed on the screen based on the condition that "rules with some or all of the same judgment items are not selected in a duplicated manner." Examples of rules with some or all of the same judgment items include "full-year ordinary profit year-on-year change of 5% or more" and "full-year ordinary profit year-on-year change of 10% or more." These two rules both have the judgment item "year-on-year change in full-year ordinary history" and are completely consistent.

[0098] Additionally, the screen generating unit 13 may select a rule that is considered not to be of interest to the comparison target customer from among a plurality of rules that contributed to the regression of the reference target customer trading tendency time series data.

[0099] In this example, the calculation unit 22 of the data processing device 20 generates the trading trend time series data of the comparison target customer in a manner similar to the method for generating the trading trend time series data of the reference target customer. The reference target customer trading trend time series data is generated using the past investment product trading data of the reference target customer, whereas the comparison target customer trading trend time series data is generated using the past investment product trading data of the comparison target customer.

[0100] Then, the calculation unit 22 of the data processing device 20 estimates the cause of the buying and selling tendency at each timing indicated in the comparison target customer buying and selling tendency time series data in a manner similar to the process of estimating the cause of the buying and selling tendency at each timing indicated in the reference target customer buying and selling tendency time series data.

[0101] Then, the screen generating unit 13 selects a rule that is not included in the multiple rules that contributed to the regression of the comparison target customer trading trend time series data, from among the multiple rules that contributed to the regression of the reference target customer trading trend time series data.

[0102] <Action and effect> According to the information providing server 10 and the data processing device 20 of this embodiment, as shown in (4) of Fig. 1, it is possible to provide the customer with a screen that displays data ((4-1) of Fig. 1) showing the time series price changes of investment products and data ((4-2) of Fig. 1) showing the time series buying and selling tendencies of reference clients, which are useful for the timing of buying and selling, side by side. This screen allows the customer to learn about the relationship between the price changes of investment products and the buying and selling tendencies of reference clients.

[0103] In addition, the information providing server 10 and the data processing device 20 can provide the customer with a screen displaying the factors presumed to be the causes of the buying and selling tendency of the reference target customer at the timing designated by the customer and their status values, as shown in (5) of Fig. 1. This screen allows the customer to learn what factors the reference target customer uses to decide the timing of buying and selling.

[0104] Furthermore, the information providing server 10 and the data processing device 20 can generate the above screen by using not only the investment product trading data of the reference client, but also the investment product trading data of the comparison client whose buying and selling timing is not useful. By comparing with the comparison client, the particularly characteristic features of the reference client (buying and selling tendencies and decision-making factors) become prominent, and it becomes possible to present the prominent details to the client.

[0105] In this specification, "acquisition" includes at least one of the following: "the device itself goes to retrieve data stored in another device or storage medium (active acquisition)" based on user input or based on program instructions, such as receiving data by making a request or inquiry to another device, or accessing another device or storage medium and reading it, and "the device itself inputs data output from another device (passive acquisition)" based on user input or based on program instructions, such as receiving data that is distributed (or transmitted, push notification, etc.), and selecting and acquiring data from among the received data or information, and "editing data (converting it to text, rearranging data, extracting some data, changing the file format, etc.) to generate new data and acquiring the new data."
