[0001] The present invention relates to a technology that accelerates efforts to realize a decarbonized society. [Background technology]

[0002] Today, the world is beginning to move toward a carbon-neutral society. Approximately 40 billion tons of CO2 have been emitted in the past year, and 40 million tons of CO2 have been captured and put to use. To achieve a carbon-neutral society, it is necessary to reduce CO2 emissions while simultaneously increasing the amount of CO2 captured to several hundred times the current level.

[0003] It is said that CO2 emissions are the biggest cause of global warming, and changing the behavior of each individual is crucial. However, while various efforts to reduce CO2 have been put forward, such as refraining from driving and bringing your own bags when shopping, there is also the issue that invisible CO2 is difficult to relate to, and people are not able to continue taking action.

[0004] Here, Patent Document 1 discloses an environmentally conscious behavior suggestion system that includes a storage means for storing attribute information of individual users, an index value calculation means for calculating an index value relating to the user's awareness and knowledge of environmental impact by substituting a numerical value corresponding to the attribute information into a pre-stored formula, an behavior database that stores a variety of behavioral contents of environmentally conscious behavior, and an behavior content extraction means that extracts behavior contents that suit the user from the behavior contents stored in the behavior database based on the numerical value calculated by the index value calculation means.

[0014] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0015] The information processing system according to the embodiment of the present invention visualizes the status of efforts within a company to achieve a carbon-free society, making decarbonization a part of everyday life, and also allows management to present and promote actions they want employees to take. Furthermore, by providing employees with questions in the form of a quiz, the process of solving the questions encourages behavioral change toward decarbonization, and also makes it possible to disseminate a decarbonization vision within the company.

[0016] Furthermore, this information processing system can also provide a marketplace for trading non-fungible tokens (hereinafter abbreviated as NFTs) of digital twins related to facilities aimed at a decarbonized society, such as CO2 capture facilities and mega solar facilities. The facilities referred to here conceptually include factories, smart cities, etc.

[0017] When ordinary users become the digital owners of equipment by purchasing NFTs, they can check the amount of CO2 captured each day, acquire value according to the amount of CO2 captured, and utilize the accumulated value. In this way, the amount of CO2 captured by the equipment they own as a digital owner is visualized and can be checked daily, allowing ordinary users to feel closer to CO2 reduction. Similar effects can be expected for companies and their employees.

[0018] Therefore, it will act as a bridge to decarbonization hard tech, which has been relatively unfamiliar to general users, companies, and their members, and by using a new method to narrow the gap between CO2 capture equipment and consumers, it will influence behavioral change among people around the world and contribute to accelerating the global movement toward the ambitious goal of realizing a decarbonized society by 2050.

[0019] This information processing system can also operate and manage an NFT marketplace. This marketplace allows for various transactions, including not only buying and selling NFTs, but also reselling and auctioning NFTs. Through the process of transactions on this marketplace, the value of the NFT increases, and the accumulated value indicates the NFT's status and asset value.

[0020] FIG. 1 shows the configuration of an information processing system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0021] As shown in the figure, the information processing system according to an embodiment of the present invention enables trading of NFTs related to digital twins of facilities aimed at a decarbonized society, and can also accelerate the behavioral changes of companies and their employees aimed at realizing a decarbonized society through the four steps described below.

[0022] This information processing system may include a management server 1, a user terminal 2, a company server 3, a relay server 4, a blockchain 5, an artificial intelligence (AI) server 6, a large-scale language model 7, and an administrator terminal 8. The management server 1 is connected to the user terminal 2, the company server 3, the relay server 4, the AI ​​server 6, and the administrator terminal 8 via a network 9 such as the Internet. Note that the user terminal 2 and the administrator terminal 8 may be various devices such as smartphones, tablet terminals, laptop personal computers, and desktop personal computers. The functions of the AI ​​server 6 may be implemented on the management server 1 side.

[0023] Here, "user" may refer to general consumers who wish to make transactions such as purchasing NFTs, and employees of companies that encourage behavioral change. While only one user terminal 2 is shown in Figure 1, multiple user terminals 2 actually exist. Meanwhile, "companies" refer to owners of equipment aimed at a decarbonized society and companies that wish to change their behavior toward a decarbonized society, and may refer to entities that wish to trade NFTs related to their equipment through this service, as well as entities that wish to change their behavior toward a decarbonized society. While only one corporate server 3 is shown in Figure 1, multiple corporate servers 3 actually exist.

[0024] Blockchain 5 is a technology that synchronizes and records NFTs by combining cryptographic technology with multiple computers that make up a distributed network. In this embodiment, for example, a distributed application platform equipped with a smart contract function can be used as blockchain 5. However, it is not limited to this and can be linked to a wide variety of platforms.

[0025] In this configuration, if a company or the like that owns equipment, etc., aimed at a decarbonized society wishes to transact using this service, it applies for the service. When applying, the company server 3 transmits data related to the equipment, etc. to the management server 1. Upon receiving the application, the management server 1 generates a digital twin based on the data related to the equipment, etc. Here, a "digital twin" is not, for example, a mere visual replica of equipment, etc., aimed at a decarbonized society, currently in operation at a company, etc., but rather data that enables synchronization of operational information, etc., of the equipment, etc., between the real world and the virtual world. In this embodiment, a digital twin is generated based on image data, specification data, etc., of equipment, etc., aimed at a decarbonized society, transmitted from the company, and this digital twin is synchronized with operational data of the equipment, etc., in the real world.

[0026] Next, the management server 1 issues an NFT for the digital twin on the blockchain 5 and manages it on a distributed ledger. From then on, the NFT will be available to the general public on a marketplace operated by the management server 1, and various transactions, such as purchases, will be carried out in response to requests.

[0027] When a request to purchase an NFT is received from a user terminal 2 or the like, the management server 1 updates the registration information of the NFT, executes the specified payment processing, and then sends a notification of transaction completion to the user terminal 2. Here, updating the registration information is an internal process that links the user information of the purchaser to the NFT registration information managed within the management server 1, and the owner of the NFT managed on the blockchain 5 remains the operator. When the management server 1 receives a request from the purchaser to transfer ownership of the NFT, it executes a transaction on the smart contract to transfer ownership of the NFT.

[0028] At companies participating in this service, the company server 3 periodically transmits operation information on facilities and other equipment already converted into NFTs aimed at a decarbonized society to the relay server 4. The relay server 4 compiles and stores the operation information sent individually from multiple company servers 3. The management server 1 reads the accumulated operation information from the relay server 4 at a predetermined timing, calculates the value to be returned to users who are NFT purchasers based on the operation information, and updates the value information associated with the user information. Users can check their accumulated value at any time on their marketplace My Page or elsewhere, and can also use that value for electronic payments, etc.

[0029] Here, "value" may be any of points, miles, virtual currency, financial asset tokens, and in-service currency. For example, points are used in everyday life with 1 point being worth 1 yen, while miles may have asset value such that 100 miles can be exchanged for a cup of coffee or 100 miles can be exchanged for 200 points from a certain business.

[0030] In addition to the above, in this information processing system, the management server 1, in cooperation with the AI ​​server 6, has the function of executing a four-step process to change the behavior of companies or employees in order to accelerate their efforts to realize a carbon-free society.

[0031] Specifically, a company presents employees with the results of its efforts toward a decarbonized society, such as CO2 reductions and power consumption (energy saving rates), and performs a check execution process to change their mindset and make decarbonization their own. Furthermore, to help employees understand the efforts toward a decarbonized society, taking into account their circumstances and aptitudes, a quiz execution process is performed to encourage behavioral change by generating basic knowledge quizzes in cooperation with the AI ​​server 6 and repeating them. The quizzes generated in cooperation with the AI ​​server 6 include topics ranging from general decarbonization issues to familiar behavioral change issues, current events, and sustainability reports. Then, an action execution process is performed to accept and share posts from employees about efforts toward a decarbonized society, and to generate and present actions that management wants employees to take. This results sharing process visualizes internal actions toward a decarbonized society, leading to a return to the check execution process. The administrator terminal 8 can view the process and results of the above processes as needed. The positive spiral created by these four processes accelerates efforts toward a decarbonized society by companies and their employees.

[0032] 2(a) and 2(b) show the configuration of a management server as an information processing device of the information processing system, and will be described below.

[0033] As shown in the figure, the management server has a control unit 11, a communication unit 12, and a storage unit 13. The control unit 11, the communication unit 12, and the storage unit 13 are communicably connected via a bus line. In addition, the management server may have input units such as a keyboard and a mouse, and a display unit such as a liquid crystal display that displays various information.

[0034] The communication unit 12 is realized, for example, by a network interface card (NIC) or the like, and is connected to a network 6 such as the Internet via a wired or wireless connection, and is a communication interface that communicates between the user terminal 2, the enterprise server 3, the relay server 4, the AI ​​server 6, and the administrator terminal 8, etc.

[0035] The storage unit 13 is realized by, for example, a semiconductor memory element such as a random access memory (RAM) or a flash memory, a hard disk drive (HDD), a solid state drive (SSD), or the like, and stores programs executed by the control unit 11. Here, the storage unit 13 may include, for example, a user information storage unit 13a, a company information storage unit 13b, a digital twin storage unit 13c, an NFT storage unit 13d, an operation information storage unit 13e, a transaction information storage unit 13f, a check execution storage unit 13g, a quiz storage unit 13h, an action storage unit 13i, an achievement storage unit 13j, and the like.

[0036] More specifically, the user information storage unit 13a is a database that stores, in association with a user ID, the user's name, email address, payment information, transaction history information, value history information, etc. The company information storage unit 15 is a database that stores the company's name, administrator's email address, payment information, transaction history information (including product ID), the accumulated number of points acquired, the department to which the user belongs, etc.

[0037] The digital twin storage unit 13b is a database that stores digital twin information and the like relating to a product, linked to the product ID.

[0038] The NFT memory unit 13c is a database that stores the product ID, provider (company ID), purchaser (user ID), owner, transaction terms, NFT, etc., which are linked to the NFT ID and used to identify the digital twin information that is the subject of the NFT.

[0039] The operation information storage unit 13e is a database that stores operation information of the equipment, etc. that is the subject of the NFT, linked to the NFT ID. The transaction information storage unit 13f is a database that stores the NFT ID that identifies the transaction target, transaction history information, etc., linked to the transaction ID.

[0040] The check execution memory unit 13g is a database that stores, linked to a company ID, the NFT ID of NFTs for which the company is the provider or owner, the amount of CO2 reduction and power consumption (energy saving rate) that are the result of the company's efforts toward a carbon-free society, etc.

[0041] The quiz memory unit 13h is a database that stores, linked to employee IDs, company IDs, information such as integrated reports, sustainability reports, and client interview results used to generate quizzes, generated quiz information, and the correct answer rate.

[0042] The action storage unit 13i is a database that stores, in association with a company ID, employee IDs, posted action information, the number of posts, the percentage of the total, the amount of CO2 reduction per day associated with the action, the number of actions, the number of participants, etc. The action storage unit 13i defines the amount of CO2 reduction per unit of each action by referring to, for example, the Ministry of the Environment's "Guidelines for Eco-Action Points," and stores this in table format.

[0043] The result storage unit 13j is a database that stores, in association with a company ID, the transition of the amount of behavior, the transition of the participation rate, check information (cumulative number of checks, average active rate, etc.), quiz information (cumulative number of quiz answers, average active rate, average correct answer rate, etc.), and action information (cumulative number of actions, average active rate, CO2 reduction amount, etc.) Note that these are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited to these.

[0044] The control unit 11 is a so-called processor realized by a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or MPU (Micro Processing Unit), and by executing programs stored in the memory unit 13, it functions as, for example, a transmission / reception control unit 11a, a digital twin management unit 11b, an NFT management unit 11c, a marketplace management unit 11d, a transaction processing unit 11e, an operation management unit 11f, a value calculation unit 11g, a settlement unit 11h, a check execution unit 11i, a quiz execution unit 11j, an action presentation unit 11k, and a result sharing unit 11l.

[0045] In this configuration, the transmission / reception control unit 11a controls the transmission and reception of data with the user terminal 2, the company server 3, etc. via the communication unit 12. For example, the transmission / reception control unit 11a controls various transmissions and receptions via the communication unit 12, such as accepting requests to purchase NFTs from the user terminal 2, accepting requests to apply for services from the company server 3, and sending various notifications to the user terminal 2 and the company server 3.

[0046] The digital twin management unit 11b generates a digital twin based on image data, specification data, etc. related to equipment aimed at a decarbonized society sent from the corporate server 3, and registers and manages the digital twin in the digital twin storage unit 16.

[0047] More specifically, as shown in FIG. 2(b), the NFT management unit 11c has an NFT issuing unit 11c-1, an NFT registration unit 11c-2, and a transaction execution unit 11c-3. The NFT issuing unit 11c-1 reads a digital twin from the digital twin storage unit 16 and issues an NFT based on the digital twin on the blockchain 5. The NFT registration unit 11c-2 links the issued NFT with an NFT ID, registers it in the NFT storage unit 17, and manages it. As a result, the NFT is shared by the management server 1 and multiple nodes on the blockchain 5 and is managed in a distributed ledger in an immutable state. For example, when a user who is a purchaser requests the transfer of ownership of an NFT, the transaction execution unit 12c-3 works with a smart contract on the blockchain 5 to execute a transaction such as the transfer of ownership.

[0048] The marketplace management unit 11d provides a marketplace related to the buying and selling of NFTs and manages its operation. Specifically, it presents purchasable NFTs to users on the marketplace along with transaction information such as their value, and manages the transactions. As will be described in more detail below, the user terminal 2 utilizes the marketplace as a web service using a web browser function, or by installing an application program for conducting transactions.

[0049] The transaction processing unit 11e processes transactions based on requests from the company server 3 to apply for the service and requests from the user terminal 2 to purchase NFTs, updates the registered information in the storage unit 13, and sends notifications regarding transaction completion and the like to each party. For example, when the transaction processing unit 11e receives a request from the company server 3 to apply for the service, it updates the registered information (transaction history information, etc.) in the company information storage unit 15 and the registered information in the transaction information storage unit 19. On the other hand, when the transaction processing unit 11e receives a request from the user terminal 2 to purchase NFTs, it appropriately updates the registered information (transaction history information, etc.) in the user information storage unit 14 and the registered information in the transaction information storage unit 19. The transaction processing unit 11e handles various transactions, such as the purchase, sale, resale, and auction of NFTs on the marketplace.

[0050] Under the control of the transmission / reception control unit 11a, the operation management unit 11f receives operation information from the relay server 4 via the notification unit 12 and updates the registration information in the operation information storage unit 18 based on the operation information. The value calculation unit 11g reads the registration information in the operation information storage unit 18 at predetermined times, calculates a new value to be assigned to each NFT using a predetermined calculation formula based on the additional operation volume, etc., and updates the registration information (value history information) of the user who purchased the NFT by referring to the user information storage unit 14. This process is performed periodically, allowing users to regularly check the current operation volume of the equipment corresponding to their NFT and the value returned thereby, thereby enhancing their awareness of their participation in efforts toward a decarbonized society. Note that "value" refers to points, miles, virtual currency, financial asset tokens, or in-service currency. Of course, the value calculation unit 11g may calculate value based on the asset value of the NFT, various campaigns, etc., in addition to the operation information. More specifically, when calculating value, it is possible to change the rate depending on the region, or if there is a limit to the number of coins that can be issued, to change the rate in accordance with market supply and demand.

[0051] The settlement unit 11h executes electronic settlement when an NFT transaction (e.g., purchase) is made. For example, when an NFT is purchased by the user terminal 2, the settlement unit 11h references the registration information (payment information) in the user information storage unit 14, executes a debit process for the purchase price, and executes a deposit process for the sales price to the company that owns the equipment related to the NFT. However, this is not limited to this. Generally, in the case of transactions on a blockchain, settlement is made via a wallet, but in this system, when the owner of the NFT is the operator, transactions with users are managed internally, so settlement can be made by general electronic settlement, which is convenient for users.

[0052] The check execution unit 11i performs a check execution process to present to employees the amount of CO2 reduction, the amount of power consumption (energy saving rate), etc., which are the results of the company's efforts toward a decarbonized society, and to change their awareness so that they will make "decarbonization" their own concern. More specifically, the check execution unit 11i refers to the check execution storage unit 13g, reads out the amount of CO2 reduction, the amount of power consumption (energy saving rate), etc., which are the results of the company's efforts toward a decarbonized society, which are linked to the company ID, and prompts the user terminal 2 to display them.

[0053] The quiz execution unit 11j performs a quiz execution process to encourage employees to change their behavior by generating and repeating basic knowledge quizzes in cooperation with the AI ​​server 6, taking into account the employee's situation and aptitude, to help them understand efforts toward a decarbonized society. The quizzes generated in cooperation with the AI ​​server 6 include topics such as general decarbonization issues, questions that lead to familiar behavioral changes, current events, and sustainability reports. More specifically, the quiz execution unit 11j references the quiz storage unit 13h, reads information linked to the employee ID, such as the company ID, the integrated report used to generate the quiz, the sustainability report, and the results of interviews with clients, and transmits the information to the AI ​​server 6. Then, the quiz information generated by the AI ​​server 6 and suitable for the employee is transmitted to the user terminal 2 for display and prompts the employee to practice. This quiz information, along with the correct answer rate, is stored in the quiz storage unit 13h. The quiz execution unit 11j also calculates the correct answer rate for the quiz.

[0054] The action suggestion unit 11k accepts posts from employees about efforts toward a carbon-free society, shares them, and performs an action suggestion process to generate and suggest actions that management wants employees to take. More specifically, the action suggestion unit 11k accepts posts about eco-actions from employees' user terminals 2, stores them in the action storage unit 13i, and references the action storage unit 13i to retrieve employee IDs and posted action information linked to the company ID, the number of posts, their percentage of the total, the amount of CO2 reduction per day associated with the action, the number of actions, the number of participants, and other information, and sends these to the user terminal 2 to encourage action. The action suggestion unit 11k also calculates the number of actions, the number of participants, the amount of CO2 reduction achieved by each action, and the total amount of CO2 reduction achieved by all actions, as needed. The amount of CO2 reduction achieved by each action is previously managed in a table, and the amount of CO2 reduction achieved by each action is calculated by referencing this table.

[0055] The result sharing unit 11l performs a result sharing process to visualize internal actions toward a decarbonized society. More specifically, the result sharing unit 11l refers to the result storage unit 13j, reads out the transition of the amount of action, the transition of the participation rate, check information (the cumulative number of checks, the average active rate, etc.), quiz information (the cumulative number of quiz answers, the average active rate, the average correct answer rate, etc.), and action information (the cumulative number of eco-actions, the average active rate, the amount of CO2 reduction, etc.) that are linked to the company ID, and transmits them as result information to the user terminal 2 or the administrator terminal 8, prompting them to display them. The result sharing unit 11l also plays a role in calculating the transition of the amount of action and the transition of the participation rate, etc., and updating the contents stored in the result storage unit 13j.

[0056] The management server 1 as an information processing device can be configured with one or more servers. That is, for example, it is possible to allocate functions related to NFT management and functions related to marketplace management to multiple servers and distribute processing. As mentioned above, it is also possible to implement the functions of the AI ​​server 6.

[0057] The configuration of a user terminal of the information processing system will be explained below with reference to Fig. 3. The administrator terminal has a similar configuration.

[0058] As shown in the figure, the user terminal 2 has a control unit 21, a communication unit 22, an operation unit 23, a display unit 24, and a storage unit 25. The units 21 to 25 are connected to each other via a bus line for free communication. The communication unit 22 is realized, for example, by a NIC or the like, and is connected to a network 6 such as the Internet via a wired or wireless connection, and serves as a communication interface for communicating with the management server 1 or the like. The operation unit 23 is realized by a mouse, a keyboard, or the like, and accepts various operation inputs from the user. The display unit 24 is realized by a liquid crystal display or the like, and displays various information. The operation unit 23 and the display unit 24 may be integrated into a touch panel. The storage unit 25 is realized, for example, by a semiconductor memory element such as a RAM or flash memory, a HDD, an SSD, or the like, and stores application programs and the like executed by the control unit 21, which is composed of a CPU, an MPU, or the like.

[0059] The control unit 21 has a web browser function and can also carry out transactions such as purchasing NFTs by utilizing the marketplace provided by the management server 1. Alternatively, by installing and executing an application program related to transactions in the storage unit 25, a trading function is realized, and various transactions such as purchasing NFTs can be carried out by utilizing the marketplace provided by the management server 1.

[0060] FIG. 4 shows the configuration of the AI ​​server 6 of the information processing system, and will be described below.

[0061] As shown in the figure, the AI ​​server has a control unit 61, a communication unit 62, and a storage unit 63. The control unit 61, communication unit 62, and storage unit 63 are communicatively connected via a bus line. The communication unit 62 is realized, for example, by an NIC or the like, and is a communication interface that is connected to a network 9 such as the Internet via a wired or wireless connection and communicates with the management server 1. The storage unit 13 is realized, for example, by a semiconductor memory element such as RAM or flash memory, an HDD, an SSD, or the like, and stores the programs executed by the control unit 11.

[0062] The control unit 11 is a so-called processor realized by a CPU, MPU, or the like, and functions as a first AI engine 61a, a second AI engine 61b, a third AI engine 61c, and a communication control unit 16d by executing programs stored in the storage unit 63. The first AI engine 61a has a learning model obtained by machine learning using at least an integrated report, a sustainability report, client interview results, etc. as learning data.

[0063] In such a configuration, the communication control unit 16d functions as a receiving unit that receives information such as an integrated report, a sustainable report, and interview results with clients from the management server 1 that are used to generate quizzes, and a transmitting unit that transmits information such as the generated quiz information and the correct answer rate to the management server 1.

[0064] Considering that generating quizzes directly from the sustainability report often results in unintended questions or themes that are not addressed, the first AI engine 61a first sets keywords for the sustainability report and important themes identified through interviews with clients, and then performs primary processing to categorize the sustainability report using those keywords. This establishes a primary information analysis method so that the quizzes generated by the AI ​​server 6 are as intended.

[0065] The second AI engine 61b builds a RAG structure that utilizes the database generated by the first AI engine 61a as a knowledge base, and generates quizzes that capture the client's intentions. By fine-tuning the AI ​​through prompt engineering, it is possible to generate questions with the intended difficulty, granularity, and theme settings that the client wants to strengthen.

[0066] The third AI engine 61c then outputs similar questions again, taking into account the answer trends and correct answer rates for the quiz questions, thereby improving the retention of knowledge.

[0067] Below, we will explain the processing flow related to the issuance of NFTs by the information processing system, with reference to the flowchart in Figure 5.

[0068] When a request to apply for this service is made by the corporate server 3 (S1), the transmission / reception control unit 11a in the management server 1 accepts this application (S2). Then, in the management server 1, the digital twin management unit 11b generates a digital twin based on the image data and specification data related to the equipment for a decarbonized society that were sent from the corporate server 3 at the time of application, and registers this digital twin in the digital twin storage unit 16 (S3).

[0069] Next, in the management server 1, the NFT management unit 11c issues an NFT. More specifically, the NFT issuing unit 11c-1 reads the digital twin from the digital twin storage unit 16 and issues an NFT based on the digital twin on the blockchain 5. The NFT registration unit 11c-2 links the issued NFT with an NFT ID, registers it in the NFT storage unit 17, and manages it (S4, S5). As a result, the NFT is shared by the management server 1 and multiple nodes of the blockchain 5, and is managed in a distributed ledger in a state that prevents it from being tampered with (S6).

[0070] Next, the flow of processing related to NFT transactions and the like by the information processing system will be described with reference to the flowchart in Fig. 6. Here, the purchase of an NFT will be described as an example.

[0071] The user terminal 2 allows the user to check the digital twins of available facilities for a decarbonized society, purchase conditions, etc., on a display screen. When a purchase application request is made from the user terminal 2 (S11), the transmission / reception control unit 11a in the management server 1 accepts this application (S12). Then, the transaction processing unit 11e in the management server 1 executes processing related to the purchase and updates the registered information in the storage unit 13 (S13). More specifically, the transaction history information, etc. in the user information storage unit 14 is updated, and the registered information in the transaction information storage unit 19 is updated.

[0072] In the management server 1, the settlement unit 11h executes settlement processing for the NFT purchase (S14), and the transaction processing unit 11e sends a notification of transaction completion to the user terminal 2 (S15). The user terminal 2 receives the notification via the communication unit 22, and under the control of the control unit 21, displays the notification content on the display unit 24, allowing the user to confirm that the purchase has been completed (S16).

[0073] The processing flow for purchasing NFTs has been explained above, but the transaction processing unit 11e also executes processing for resale and auction of NFTs in a similar manner. For example, in the case of an auction, the user who bids the highest bid during a specified bidding period is permitted to purchase, and processing is executed in the above procedure.

[0074] Next, with reference to the flowchart in Figure 7, we will explain the processing flow related to value redemption and other processes associated with the operation of NFT-related equipment by the information processing system.

[0075] The company server 3 periodically transmits operation information of equipment for a decarbonized society that has been converted into NFTs and traded on the marketplace to the relay server 4 (S21). Upon receiving this operation information, the relay server 4 updates the registration information (S22). The relay server 4 accepts and processes (transmits) the readout of the operation information by the management server 1 (S23).

[0076] In the management server 1, the transmission / reception control unit 11a acquires this operation information (S24), and the operation management unit 11f updates the registered information in the operation information storage unit 18 (S25). Next, the value calculation unit 11g reads the registered information in the operation information storage unit 18 at a predetermined timing, calculates a new value to be assigned to each NFT using a predetermined calculation formula based on the additional operation amount, etc. (S26), and updates the registered information (value history information) of the user who purchased the NFT by referring to the user information storage unit 14 (S27). Here, "value" refers to points, miles, virtual currency, financial asset tokens, or in-service currency. Of course, the value calculation unit 11g may calculate value based on the asset value of the NFT, various campaigns, etc., in addition to the operation information. More specifically, when calculating value, it is possible to change the rate depending on the region, or, if there is a limit on the number of issuances, change the rate to match market supply and demand. This updated content can be checked as needed on a display screen such as My Page in the marketplace operated by the management server 1.

[0077] Next, with reference to the flowchart in FIG. 8, a detailed description will be given of a processing procedure relating to four steps that will bring about behavioral changes in companies and employees toward a decarbonized society using an information processing system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0078] When the process starts, the check execution unit 11i performs a check execution process to present employees with the amount of CO2 reduction, power consumption (energy saving rate), etc., which are the results of the company's efforts toward a carbon-free society, and to change their awareness so that they can make "decarbonization" their own concern (S31). More specifically, the check execution unit 11i references the check execution storage unit 13g, reads out the amount of CO2 reduction, power consumption (energy saving rate), etc., which are the results of the company's efforts toward a carbon-free society, which are linked to the company ID, and prompts the user terminal 2 to display them. The display on the user terminal 2 is, for example, as shown in FIG. 10. As shown in the figure, the screen 100 presents the amount of CO2 reduction due to the company's efforts, the names of facilities related to the owned NFTs, etc. In addition to this, the amount of power consumption (energy saving rate) may also be displayed.

[0079] Next, the quiz execution unit 11j performs a quiz execution process in cooperation with the AI ​​server 6 to generate basic knowledge quizzes to help employees understand efforts toward a decarbonized society, taking into account their circumstances and aptitudes, and repeats the quiz to encourage behavioral change among employees (S32). The quizzes generated in cooperation with the AI ​​server 6 include topics such as general decarbonization issues, questions that lead to familiar behavioral change, current events, and sustainability reports. More specifically, the quiz execution unit 11j references the quiz storage unit 13h, reads information associated with the employee ID, such as the company ID, the integrated report used to generate the quiz, the sustainability report, and the results of interviews with clients, and transmits the information to the AI ​​server 6. Then, the quiz information generated by the AI ​​server 6 and suitable for the employee is transmitted to the user terminal 2 for display and prompts the employee to practice. This quiz information, along with its correct answer rate, is stored in the quiz storage unit 13h. The display on the user terminal 2 is as shown, for example, in FIGS. 11(a) and 11(b). A list of daily quizzes is displayed on screen 101 in Fig. 11(a). When the "Answer this quiz" button is selected on this screen 101 for the quiz to be answered, the screen switches to screen 102 shown in Fig. 11(b), where the user can answer the quiz. Here, detailed explanations are also displayed after answering, which can be expected to have a high learning effect.

[0080] Next, the action presentation unit 11k performs an action execution process in which it accepts posts from employees regarding efforts toward a carbon-free society, shares them, and generates and presents actions that management wants employees to take (S33). More specifically, the action presentation unit 11k accepts posts related to eco-actions from employees' user terminals 2, stores them in the action storage unit 13i, and also references the action storage unit 13i to read employee IDs and posted action information linked to the company ID, the number of posts, their percentage of the total, the amount of CO2 reduction per day associated with the action, the number of actions, the number of participants, and so on, and transmits these to the user terminal 2 to encourage action. The employee posting screen is shown in FIG. 12. In this example, the posted content (actions) from each employee is presented and can be shared.

[0081] On the user terminal 2, the effects brought about by actual actions are displayed on the screens shown in Figures 13(a) and 13(b). That is, screen 104 in Figure 13(a) displays the amount of CO2 reduction achieved by the action, the number of actions, the number of participants, action items, the number of times, the amount of CO2 reduction achieved by the action, etc. When one of the action items is selected on screen 104, the screen switches to screen 105 shown in Figure 13(b), which displays the amount of CO2 reduction achieved by the action item, the amount of CO2 reduction per day, the percentage of the total, the number of posts, the number of posters, a list of posters, etc.

[0082] Then, the result sharing unit 11l performs a result sharing process to visualize the internal actions toward a decarbonized society (S34). That is, more specifically, the result sharing unit 11l refers to the result storage unit 13j and reads out the number of correct quizzes, the quiz, the comparison with yesterday (the rate of increase in the amount of reduction, the number of checks, the check rate, etc.), the trend in the number of checks, etc., which are linked to the company ID, and transmits these as result information to the user terminal 2 and the administrator terminal 8, prompting them to display them. The display on the administrator terminal 8 is as shown in FIG. 14. As shown in the figure, the screen 106 displays graphs related to the trend in the amount of action and the trend in the participation rate, check information (the cumulative number of checks, the average active rate, etc.), quiz information (the cumulative number of quiz answers, the average active rate, the average rate of correct answers, etc.), action information (the cumulative number of eco-actions, the average active rate, the amount of CO2 reduction), etc.

[0083] During each of the above processes, employees can also check their own status on their user terminals as needed on their My Page. My Page displays are as shown in Figures 15(a), 15(b), and 15(c). Screen 108 in Figure 15(a) displays the accumulated points awarded through actions, today's eco-actions, daily quizzes, etc. Screen 109 in Figure 15(b) displays the points awarded today, the number of checks, the number of quiz answers and the percentage of correct answers, the number of action posts, and the CO2 reduction equivalent. Screen 110 in Figure 15(c) displays the ranking of points earned by individuals or departments.

[0084] Next, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 9, a processing procedure of a quiz execution process performed by the information processing system according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0085] In the management server 1, when a quiz generation request is sent from the transmission / reception control unit 11a (S41), the transmission / reception control unit 61d in the AI ​​server 6 accepts it (S42), and the process proceeds to quiz generation by the AI.

[0086] That is, first, in consideration of the fact that generating quizzes directly from the sustainability report often results in unintended questions or themes that are not addressed, the first AI engine 61a first sets keywords for the sustainability report and important themes identified through interviews with the client, and then performs a primary conversion process to categorize the sustainability report using the keywords (S43). This establishes a primary analysis method for information so that the quizzes generated by the AI ​​server 6 are as intended.

[0087] Next, the second AI engine 61b constructs a RAG structure using the database generated by the first AI engine 61a as a knowledge base, and executes a secondary conversion process to generate a quiz that captures the client's intentions (S44). By fine-tuning the AI ​​through prompt engineering, it is possible to generate questions with the intended level of difficulty, granularity, and theme settings that the client wants to strengthen.

[0088] Then, the transmission / reception control unit 61d transmits the generated quiz information to the management server 1 (S45). In the management server 1, the transmission / reception control unit 11a receives the quiz information (S46), and the quiz administering unit 11j issues a quiz to the user terminal 2 (S47). Then, when the quiz administering unit 11j acquires the answer to the quiz, it transmits the answer information to the AI ​​server 6 via the transmission / reception control unit 11a (S49).

[0089] In the AI ​​server 6, the transmission / reception control unit 61d receives the answer information (S42), and the process proceeds to personalization processing by the AI.

[0090] That is, the third AI engine 61c executes a personalization process to improve knowledge retention by outputting similar questions again based on the answer trends and correct answer rate trends for the quiz questions (S51). The result of this process, information related to the answer trends and correct answer rate trends, is transmitted to the management server 1 by the transmission / reception control unit 61d (S52).

[0091] In the management server 1, the transmission / reception control unit 11a receives information relating to answer trends, correct answer rate trends, etc., and registers it in the result storage unit 13j (S54).

[0092] As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the four steps of the check execution process, quiz execution process, action suggestion process, and result sharing process described above make it possible to effectively promote behavioral change among companies or employees toward a decarbonized society. Furthermore, the results of all efforts are quantified on a company and individual employee basis and can be checked by managers and employees as appropriate, allowing them to realize the results on a daily basis and maintain and improve their motivation for the efforts.

[0093] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to these and that various improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
