Memory, or computer-readable media, includes any available media that can be accessed by a general-purpose or special-purpose computer.

[0018] (System Configuration) Next, functions of the investor terminal 11, the development company terminal 12, the partner terminal 13, the management device 20, etc. will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0019] An investor terminal 11, a development company terminal 12, and a partner terminal 13 shown in FIG. 1 are computer devices used by an investor, a development company (investment target), and a partner, respectively. The control unit 21 of the management device 20 is a computer device that supports investment. The management device 20 includes the control unit 21, a partner information storage unit 22, a research information storage unit 23, a development company information storage unit 24, and a project information storage unit 25.

[0020] The control unit 21 executes management processing, prediction processing, and intermediation processing. Therefore, by executing the intermediation support program, the control unit 21 functions as a management unit 211, a prediction unit 212, and an intermediation unit 213.

[0021] The management unit 211 acquires various information via the Internet or the like, and executes a process of managing the prediction unit 212 and the mediation unit 213 . The prediction unit 212 executes a process for predicting information required for development investment. The prediction unit 212 includes survey prediction information and resource prediction information. The survey prediction information is information for predicting required tasks and the number of days required for each required task based on survey items. The resource prediction information is information (learning model) for predicting resources (e.g., engineer skills, number of engineers, etc.) required for a development project and the development period according to the project contents. The resource prediction information is generated by machine learning using the development project contents and performance data consisting of resource information used in this development as training data.

[0022] The intermediary unit 213 executes a process of intermediating investments, and further executes a process of intermediating partner resources (human resources in this embodiment) for developers in the investment target. The partner information storage unit 22 stores partner management data about partners who can cooperate in research and development. This partner management data is recorded when partner information is registered. The partner management data includes information about partner IDs, resource IDs, capabilities, unit prices, etc.

[0023] The partner ID is an identifier for identifying a partner. The resource ID is an identifier for identifying a resource (for example, an engineer) owned by this partner.

[0024] The capability is the capability of this resource (for example, the skills and qualifications of an engineer). The unit price is the price per hour (unit price) when using this resource. The survey information storage unit 23 records survey management data for survey requests. This survey management data is recorded when a survey request is accepted. The survey management data includes information such as a survey request ID, survey target, survey items, survey deadline, survey amount, schedule, partner ID, survey results, and investment decision results.

[0025] The investigation request ID is an identifier for identifying each investigation request. The survey target is the name of the investment target (development company as a potential recipient of funding) that is the target of this survey request.

[0026] The survey items are the items that you want to obtain through this survey (for example, organizational structure, development progress, competitive comparison, technological maturity, etc.). The survey deadline is a date that specifies the deadline for this survey.

[0027] The research fee is the cost incurred for this research. The research fee is set according to the research content, within the investor's desired range. This fee varies depending on the research items, research level, payment period, etc. The higher the research level, such as "technical research summary only," "detailed report," or "with additional services," the higher the price. The payment period also differs depending on whether the investment decision is made before or after the investment decision is made, with a lower price if payment is made before the investment decision is made. Furthermore, if the investment has not yet been decided, payment is required for the period up until the investment decision is made.

[0028] The schedule is a schedule relating to the investment, such as an investment consideration period, a planned investment decision date, and an investment operation period. The partner ID is an identifier used to identify partners and resources collaborating in this research and development.

[0029] The survey results are the survey results and the contents of the survey report. The investment decision result is whether or not to invest based on the survey results. The development company information storage unit 24 stores management data of the investment-making development company. This development company management data is recorded when a potential investment is registered. The development company management data includes the investment candidate ID, basic information, financial information, business information, etc.

[0030] The investment candidate ID is an identifier for identifying the development company that is the investment candidate. The basic information is information necessary to understand the outline of the development company, and includes information such as the company name, representative name, date of establishment, location, capital, number of employees, etc.

[0031] Financial information is information used to determine the profitability and soundness of a development company, and includes information on income statements, balance sheets, cash flow statements, financial indicators, etc. Business information is information about business activities and business strategies, including information about major products and services.

[0032] The project information storage unit 25 stores project management data for development projects of development companies. This project management data is recorded when project information transmitted from a development company or the like is acquired. The project management data includes information on the development company ID, project ID, project content, phase, etc.

[0033] The development company ID is an identifier for identifying the development company. The project ID is an identifier for identifying the development project of this development company. Project details are information about the contents of the development project (purpose, specifications, release schedule, total cost, etc.). Purpose includes information about issues, effects, etc. Specifications include information about functional requirements, performance requirements, security requirements, usability requirements, operational requirements, scale, etc. Schedules include information about the start and end dates of each phase, milestones, etc. Total costs include information about costs related to development (labor costs, hardware costs, software costs, etc.).

[0034] The phase is a process for specifying the progress of the development project, and includes information on "planning," "design," "development," "release," and the like. (Outline of investment support processing) Next, an outline of the investment support process will be explained with reference to FIG.

[0035] Here, first, the control unit 21 of the management device 20 executes information acquisition processing (step S11). Specifically, the management unit 211 of the control unit 21 collects various information related to development company information, project information, and resource information. This various information is acquired by scraping public information on the Internet or the like, applying on recruitment sites, or by sending direct mail such as email. The management unit 211 may also acquire in-house human resource information and in-house project information of investment targets and partners from the development company terminal 12 and partner terminal 13.

[0036] Next, the control unit 21 of the management device 20 executes a classification process (step S12). Specifically, the management unit 211 of the control unit 21 extracts and classifies necessary information from various types of information by data mining. For example, information about development companies is assigned a development company ID, classified into basic information, financial information, business information, etc., and recorded in the development company information storage unit 24. Information about projects is assigned a development company ID and a project ID, classified into information about project content, phase, etc., and recorded in the project information storage unit 25. Information about resources is assigned a partner ID and a resource ID, classified into capacity, unit price, etc., and recorded in the partner information storage unit 22.

[0037] Next, the control unit 21 of the management device 20 executes a survey process (step S13). Specifically, the control unit 21 surveys development companies that are potential investment targets in response to a request from the investor. In this case, a communication platform (chat, web conference, etc.) is provided depending on whether a mystery shopping survey is required. In a mystery shopping survey, the survey is conducted without the knowledge of the development company being surveyed. If a mystery shopping survey is required, the control unit 21 provides a two-way communication platform between the investor and the researcher (partner). On the other hand, if a mystery shopping survey is not required, the control unit 21 provides a three-way communication platform between the investor, the researcher, and the development company. Then, the control unit 21 executes a process to provide information on potential investment targets and development projects to the investor terminal 11. This process will be described in detail using FIG. 5.

[0038] Next, the control unit 21 of the management device 20 executes a matching process (step S14). Specifically, the control unit 21 identifies the required resources in the project information and executes a process of matching the required resources with the resource information. Then, the control unit 21 executes a process of providing the resource information about the required resources to the development company terminal 12. The details of this process will be described with reference to FIG. 5.

[0039] Next, the control unit 21 of the management device 20 executes an intermediation process (step S15). Specifically, the control unit 21 executes a process of intermediating investors, development companies, and partners. The details of this process will be described with reference to FIG. 5.

[0040] (Investment support processing details) Next, the investment support process will be described in detail with reference to Fig. 5. The investment support process includes the above-mentioned investigation process (step S13), matching process (step S14), and intermediation process (step S15).

[0041] In the investigation process (step S13), first, the control unit 21 of the management device 20 executes a process for acquiring an investigation request for a potential investment destination (step S21). Specifically, the investor accesses the management device 20 using the investor terminal 11 and searches for a potential investment destination in the development company information storage unit 24. Then, the management unit 211 of the control unit 21 acquires the investigation request for the potential investment destination from the investor terminal 11.

[0042] 6, the management unit 211 outputs a technology investigation request screen 510 to the display device H13 of the investor terminal 11. In this case, the management unit 211 acquires the investment candidate information via the technology investigation request screen 510 and records the investigation management data in the investigation information storage unit 23.

[0043] Next, the control unit 21 of the management device 20 executes a survey schedule registration process (step S22). Specifically, the prediction unit 212 of the control unit 21 uses the survey prediction information to acquire the necessary tasks and required days corresponding to the survey items in the survey management data. Next, the prediction unit 212 compares the required days with the number of days remaining until the survey deadline in the survey management data. If the remaining days are fewer than the required days and the survey deadline will not be met, the prediction unit 212 uses the partner information storage unit 22 to extract partners who can cooperate with the survey. In this case, the prediction unit 212 adjusts the survey amount within the desired amount range depending on the necessity of partners and the partner unit price. Furthermore, the prediction unit 212 acquires payment timing information from the investor and adjusts the amount based on the relationship between the payment timing and the investment decision timing (before or after the investment decision). Then, the prediction unit 212 records the survey schedule (necessary tasks, survey period, etc.), the required partner ID, and the survey amount in the survey management data in the survey information storage unit 23.

[0044] 7, a survey schedule screen 520 is displayed on the display device H13 of the investor terminal 11. This survey schedule screen 520 includes information regarding necessary tasks, survey periods for each task, and the like.

[0045] If it is difficult to carry out the investigation in response to the investigation request due to circumstances such as exceeding the investigation amount, the management unit 211 will return a message to the investor terminal 11 to that effect. When conducting a survey, the control unit 21 of the management device 20 executes a process for acquiring candidate investment information (step S23). Specifically, the management unit 211 of the control unit 21 acquires development company management data of the survey target from the development company information storage unit 24 based on the candidate investment information in the survey information storage unit 23. Furthermore, the management unit 211 acquires project management data in which the candidate investment ID of the survey target is recorded from the project information storage unit 25.

[0046] Next, the control unit 21 of the management device 20 executes a process for predicting required resources (step S24). Specifically, the prediction unit 212 of the control unit 21 identifies development projects in the "Planning" phase in the project management data of the investment candidate being investigated. Then, the prediction unit 212 predicts the resources (engineer skills, number of employees, etc.) required for development according to the release schedule using the project details in the "Planning" phase and the resource prediction information. Note that when multiple project management data are acquired, the prediction unit 212 predicts the required resources for each development project.

[0047] Next, the control unit 21 of the management device 20 executes a resource status estimation process (step S25). Specifically, the prediction unit 212 of the control unit 21 identifies projects in the "release" phase in the project management data of the investment candidate being investigated. Then, the prediction unit 212 predicts the resources (engineer skills, number of people, etc.) involved in the development of this project based on the project contents (specifications, schedule, etc.) of past projects in the "release" phase. Note that when project management data for multiple "release" phases is acquired, the resource status is predicted for each period when the development schedules overlap.

[0048] Next, the matching process (step S14) will be described. This process is performed in accordance with the resource status estimation process (step S25). In the matching process (step S14), the control unit 21 of the management device 20 executes a process for identifying a resource shortage (step S31). Specifically, the prediction unit 212 of the control unit 21 compares the resource status of the investment candidate being investigated with the required resources for the most recent predetermined period, and calculates the shortage of the required resources (engineer skills, number of people, etc.) based on the resource status.

[0049] Next, the control unit 21 of the management device 20 executes a process for introducing a cooperating resource (step S32). Specifically, the intermediation unit 213 of the control unit 21 acquires candidate cooperating resources (engineers) with the skills and number of resources corresponding to the lacking resources from the partner information storage unit 22. Then, the intermediation unit 213 transmits a resource candidate guide for the lacking resources to the development company terminal 12. This resource candidate guide includes the resource information acquired from the partner information storage unit 22. Then, the intermediation unit 213 records the introduced partner ID and resource ID in the investigation information storage unit 23.

[0050] Then, in the investigation process (step S13), the control unit 21 of the management device 20 executes an investigation information acquisition process (step S26). Specifically, the management unit 211 of the control unit 21 acquires the investigation result from the input device H12 or the partner terminal 13, and records it in the investigation information storage unit 23.

[0051] Then, the control unit 21 of the management device 20 executes a process of providing the survey results (step S27). Specifically, the management unit 211 of the control unit 21 provides the survey results to the investor terminal 11. The survey results include information on the development projects of investment candidates and resource information (resource status, insufficient resources, etc.).

[0052] 8, a research result display screen 530 is displayed on the display device H13 of the investor terminal 11. This research result display screen 530 includes information such as a technical research report, the total cost of the project, and the release schedule.

[0053] Next, the intermediation process (step S15) will be described. Here, the control unit 21 of the management device 20 executes an exchange support process (step S41). Specifically, the intermediation unit 213 of the control unit 21 sets the hosting requirements (purpose, timing, URL, etc.) for a networking event (online) for investors, partners recorded in the partner information storage unit 22, and potential investment targets recorded in the development company information storage unit 24. In this case, the investors, potential investment targets, and partners recorded in the survey management data in the survey information storage unit 23 are included. The intermediation unit 213 then transmits an invitation to the networking event to the investor terminal 11, the development company terminal 12, and the partner terminal 13.

[0054] Furthermore, the control unit 21 of the management device 20 executes an investment decision process (step S42). Specifically, the intermediary unit 213 of the control unit 21 acquires from the investor terminal 11 the decision result as to whether or not to invest.

[0055] When the investable information is acquired, the control unit 21 of the management device 20 executes an order support process (step S43). Specifically, the intermediary unit 213 of the control unit 21 outputs an order screen to the display device H13 of the development company terminal 12.

[0056] 9(a), the order screen 540 includes an order button 541. When an investor invests in an investment target or partner, the investor selects the order button 541. In this case, the intermediary unit 213 of the control unit 21 acquires order information from the development company terminal 12 and records it in the survey information storage unit 23.

[0057] Next, the control unit 21 of the management device 20 executes an order receiving support process (step S44). Specifically, the intermediary unit 213 of the control unit 21 outputs an order receiving screen to the display device H13 of the development company terminal 12.

[0058] As shown in FIG. 9(b), the order screen 550 includes an order button 551. When the investee accepts the order, the investee selects the order button 551. In this case, the intermediary unit 213 acquires order information from the development company terminal 12 and records it in the survey information storage unit 23.
