[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0010] The following describes in detail, with reference to the drawings, the embodiments for implementing the information processing apparatus, information processing method, and information processing program according to the present application (hereinafter referred to as "embodiments"). Note that these embodiments do not limit the information processing apparatus, information processing method, and information processing program according to the present application. Furthermore, each embodiment can be appropriately combined as long as the processing content is not inconsistent. Also, the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals in each of the following embodiments, and redundant descriptions are omitted.

[0011] [1. An example of information processing] First, an example of information processing according to the embodiment will be described using Figure 1. Figure 1 is a diagram showing an example of information processing according to the embodiment.

[0012] As shown in Figure 1, the information processing device 1 receives project-related information transmitted from the terminal device 2 of the project proposer O (step S1). Project-related information is an example of project information. Project proposer O can input project information into the terminal device 2 by operating the terminal device 2, and in this case, the project-related information is transmitted from the terminal device 2 to the information processing device 1.

[0013] The planning-related information includes planning content information, which is information indicating the content planned by the planning proposer O. The planning by the planning proposer O includes, for example, product design planning, development planning, sales planning, etc., but is not limited to such examples. The product includes, for example, goods, services, advertisements, music, videos, movies, etc. The goods include daily necessities, furniture, household appliances, stationery, etc., but are not limited to such examples.

[0014] In addition, the planning-related information further includes recruitment information, which is information regarding the recruitment of participants for the planning by the planning proposer O. The recruitment information includes, for example, information indicating the necessary conditions such as the work and skills required to realize the planning, and information indicating the required number of people for each necessary condition. When the planning indicated by the planning information is movie production, the recruitment information includes, for example, information indicating that 1 to 2 people who can edit movies are required and 1 person who can produce music is required.

[0015] Subsequently, based on the planning-related information received in step S1, the information processing device 1 publishes planning information including the planning content information and the recruitment information included in the planning-related information (step S2). For example, the information processing device 1 publishes the planning information by transmitting the planning information to the terminal devices 2 and 3 on which a specific application is installed, or posting the planning information on a specific website.

[0016] The specific application is, for example, a planning realization support application that is an application for supporting the realization of the planning, but is not limited to such an example. In the following, the planning realization support application may be referred to as the planning realization support app.

[0017] In the example shown in (a) of FIG. 1, the planning realization support app is installed on the terminal device 3. When the user U starts the planning realization support app on the terminal device 3, due to the functions of the planning realization support app, the terminal device 3 acquires the planning information from the information processing device 1 and displays the acquired planning information. Thereby, the planning information is published to the user U.

[0018] As shown in Figure 1(a), the terminal device 3 displays project information, including project content information and recruitment information, on the project-related information screen of the project realization support application. In the example shown in Figure 1(a), the project shown in the project content information is "Production of the short film 'Dreams of the Future'", and its content is shown as "We are looking for people to make a short film 'Dreams of the Future' set in a city of the future! This project is about the social changes brought about by near-future technology and..." Also, in the example shown in Figure 1(a), the information of the project proposer O includes "Leader", "TOMOKA", and "I'm good at illustration! People and fictional characters..."

[0019] Furthermore, the project-related information screen of terminal device 3 shown in Figure 1(a) includes two recruitment notices. The first recruitment notice indicates that they are looking for 1-2 participants to do "video editing," and also includes the notice, "We are looking for someone who is good at video editing and can also use special effects and CG. We would also appreciate it if you could do color correction and sound mixing."

[0020] The second recruitment notice includes information indicating that they are looking for one participant to "produce music," and also states, "We are looking for someone who can compose and create soundtracks. We especially welcome those who can create futuristic music!"

[0021] Furthermore, the project-related information screen of terminal device 3 shown in Figure 1(a) has consultation buttons and application buttons for each target group. User U of terminal device 3 can consult with project proposer O by operating terminal device 3 and selecting the consultation button, and can apply to participate in the project by operating terminal device 3 and selecting the application button.

[0022] Next, the information processing device 1 receives application information from a user U who wishes to participate in a project, which is one of the projects indicated in the project information published in step S2 (step S3). For example, the information processing device 1 accepts an application from user U when it receives an application request transmitted from terminal device 3. The application request is transmitted from terminal device 3, for example, when user U selects the application button on the project-related information screen.

[0023] Next, the information processing device 1 provides support services to multiple participants, including the project proposer O and the applicant user U, to assist in the realization of a collaborative project (step S4). The applicants who become participants are, for example, those applicants whose application information was received in step S3 and who have been decided as participants by the project proposer O, etc. The support services are, but are not limited to, communication services, task management services, schedule management services, and file storage services.

[0024] A communication service is a service that provides a platform for communication between multiple participants, such as a project proposer O and an applicant user U, using a chat format. A task management service is a service that manages tasks in a project. A schedule management service is a service that manages schedules in a project, and a file storage service is a service that stores files in a project.

[0025] In the example shown in Figure 1(b), the terminal device 3 provides a chat screen as a communication service through a project implementation support application, and user U, as a participant in the project, can exchange messages in a chat format with project proposer O and other participants.

[0026] In this way, the information processing device 1 publishes information about the project received from the project proposer O, accepts applications from users U who wish to participate in the project, and provides support services to multiple participants, including the project proposer O and the applicant user U, to help realize the project collaboratively. In this way, the information processing device 1 can provide non-monetary support for the realization of the project.

[0086] Furthermore, the public access unit 32 publishes project progress information, which is information about projects that are currently in progress. The public access unit 32 publishes project progress information, for example, by sending it to terminal devices 2 and 3 on which the project implementation support application is installed, or by posting it on a specific site accessible by terminal devices 2 and 3.

[0087] Public section 32, for example, discloses information such as project progress information, which includes at least one of the following: interim deliverables of the project and information indicating the progress of the project. Interim deliverables of the project, if the project is a film production, include some or all of the following: the film script, storyboards, the film in progress, etc. Project progress, if the project is a film production, includes, for example, the production staff, the status of task completion, the progress of the schedule, etc.

[0088] Furthermore, if the project is for advertising production, the interim deliverables include some or all of the following: design proposals, copy drafts, color palettes, style guides, etc. If the project is for advertising production, the progress of the project includes, for example, the production staff, the status of task completion, the progress of the schedule, etc.

[0089] Furthermore, the public access unit 32 can publish information that the generation AI has compiled using the generation processing unit 33 to show the progress of the project, as project progress information.

[0090] Furthermore, the project progress information disclosed by the disclosure unit 32 is information that project participants have set to be made public, but it may also be information selected by a generating AI, for example. For example, a prompt can be input to the generating AI that includes instructions to select project progress information from interim deliverables of the project and information indicating the progress of the project, and the generating AI can be made to select project progress information.

[0091] Furthermore, interim deliverables and progress reports of the project may include information indicating the progress of the project, such as messages exchanged between project participants, the contents of video conferences between project participants, and materials created by project participants.

[0092] Figure 8 shows an example of a project-related information screen 50 that includes project progress information disclosed by the disclosure unit 32 in the processing unit 12 of the information processing device 1 according to the embodiment. The project-related information screen 50 shown in Figure 8 includes project progress related information 70.

[0093] Project progress information 70 includes project progress information 71, project progress status information 72, submission information 73a, 73b, 73c, additional recruitment details display button 74, and application button 75. Application button 75 is an example of an additional application button.

[0094] Project progress information 71 is information about the progress of a project, and in the example shown in Figure 8, it is an image being created when the project is a film production. Project progress information 71 may also include, for example, the progress status of the project.

[0095] The project progress status information 72 includes project name information 721, project participant icon information 722, first positive evaluation information 723, second positive evaluation information 724, comment information 725, and financial support information 726.

Project participant icon information 722 includes project participant icons, which are icons of the project participants.

[0097] User U can select (press) a project participant icon by operating terminal device 3. Reception unit 31 accepts the selection of the project participant icon. When the selection of the project participant icon is accepted by reception unit 31, provision unit 34 can display participant information on terminal device 3, including information on other projects in which the participant corresponding to the project participant icon has participated, information indicating the content of participation in those other projects, and information indicating the timing of participation in those other projects. In addition, the participant information may also include basic information of the participant corresponding to the project participant icon (gender, age, skills, etc.).

[0098] The first positive evaluation information 723 includes the first positive evaluation button and information indicating the number of users U who pressed the first positive evaluation button. Users U can select (press) the first positive evaluation button by operating the terminal device 3. The evaluation reception unit 43 of the reception unit 31 accepts the selection of the first positive evaluation button. As a result, the number of users U who pressed the first positive evaluation button is incremented.

[0099] The second positive evaluation information 724 includes the second positive evaluation button and information indicating the number of users U who pressed the second positive evaluation button. Users U can select (press) the second positive evaluation button by operating the terminal device 3. The evaluation reception unit 43 of the reception unit 31 accepts the selection of the second positive evaluation button. If user U has a higher evaluation of the plan, they select the second positive evaluation button instead of the first positive evaluation button. As a result, the number of users U who pressed the second positive evaluation button is incremented.

[0100] The comment information 725 includes a comment submission button and information indicating the number of users U who have submitted comments. Users U can select (press) the comment submission button by operating the terminal device 3. The reception unit 31 accepts the selection of the comment submission button. When the reception unit 31 accepts the selection of the comment submission button, the provision unit 34 displays a comment input field on the planning-related information screen 50. Users U can enter a comment in the comment input field and send the comment from the terminal device 3 to the information processing device 1 by selecting a send button (not shown).

[0101] The financial support information 726 includes a financial support button (not shown) and information indicating the total amount of financial support. User U can select (press) the financial support button by operating the terminal device 3. The reception unit 31 accepts the selection of the financial support button. When the selection of the financial support button is accepted by the reception unit 31, the provision unit 34 displays a support amount input field on the project-related information screen 50. User U can set the amount of support to be provided in the support amount input field and, by selecting the send button (not shown), have the terminal device 3 send information indicating the amount of support to be provided from the information processing device 1.

[0102] The additional recruitment details display button 74 is a button used to display additional recruitment details. User U can select (press) the additional recruitment details display button 74 by operating the terminal device 3. The reception unit 31 accepts the selection of the additional recruitment details display button 74. When the selection of the additional recruitment details display button 74 is accepted by the reception unit 31, the provision unit 34 displays information indicating the content of the additional recruitment on the project-related information screen 50.

[0103] The application button 75 is a button for applying to participate in an ongoing project. User U can select (press) the application button 75 by operating the terminal device 3. The terminal device 3 transmits additional application information, which corresponds to the application button 75, to the information processing device 1. The reception unit 31 receives the additional application information transmitted from the terminal device 3.

[0104] [3.3.4. Generation Processing Unit 33] The generation processing unit 33 instructs the generation AI to compile information indicating the progress of the project. For example, the generation processing unit 33 inputs a prompt to the generation AI that includes information indicating the progress of the project and instruction information that instructs the generation AI to output the compiled information indicating the progress of the project, causing the generation AI to output the compiled information indicating the progress of the project.

[0105] The information input to the generating AI includes, but is not limited to, information indicating the progress of the project, such as, for example, at least one of the following: the intermediate deliverables of the project as described above, and information indicating the progress of the project.

[0106] For example, the information input to the generating AI may include message exchanges between project participants, the content of video conferences between project participants, and materials created by project participants. The participants also include the project proposer O.

[0107] The generative AI is, for example, a multimodal generative AI that takes images and text as input and outputs at least text, but it may also be a large-scale language model that outputs text from text. Furthermore, the generative AI may include both a large-scale language model and an image generation AI.

[0108] The generation processing unit 33, for example, inputs prompts to the generation AI via the generation AI's API and causes the generation AI to output information summarizing the progress of the project. However, the generation AI may be a generation AI that operates on the information processing device 1.

[0109] [3.3.5.Providing Department 34] The information provision unit 34 provides various information to the project participants and users U. For example, the information provision unit 34 provides participants with support services to help them realize a collaborative project among multiple participants, including the project proposer O and applicants. In this context, applicants are, for example, those who have been selected as participants by the project proposer O or participants who are already participating in the project, and are also participants.

[0110] For example, the service provider 34 provides support services that include a service providing a platform for communication among multiple participants. Support services may include, but are not limited to, communication services, task management services, schedule management services, and file storage services.

[0111] The service provider 34 can set subscription fees according to the scale of the project (an example of a plan) and the number of members. Pricing plans vary based on the number of project participants and the features used, with multiple options available from basic to premium plans. This allows for flexible pricing tailored to project needs, and participants can choose the plan that best suits their needs.

[0112] Communication services are services that provide a platform for communication among multiple participants, for example, in the form of chat. Task management services are services that manage tasks in a project. Schedule management services are services that manage schedules in a project, and file storage services are services that save files in a project.

[0113] Figure 9 shows an example of a support service screen 80 for using the support service provided by the provisioning unit 34 in the processing unit 12 of the information processing device 1 according to the embodiment. The support service screen 80 shown in Figure 9 includes support service information 81, a support service provision area 82, and a message input frame 83.

[0114] Support service information 81 includes project name information 811, project participant icon information 812, home tab 813, task management tab 814, schedule management tab 815, file save tab 816, and settings tab 817.

[0115] Project name information 811 is information indicating the name of the project, and in the example shown in Figure 9, it includes information for "Future Dreams Project". Project participant icon information 812 includes project participant icons, which are icons of the project participants.

[0116] User U can select (press) a project participant icon by operating terminal device 3. Reception unit 31 accepts the selection of the project participant icon. When the selection of the project participant icon is accepted by reception unit 31, provision unit 34 can display participant information on terminal device 3, including information indicating the participant's actions in the project (e.g., sent messages, tasks, schedule, saved files). The participant information may also include basic information of the participant corresponding to the project participant icon (gender, age, skills, etc.).

[0117] The Home tab 813 is a tab for selecting communication services as one of the support services. Participants can select the Home tab 813. The Reception unit 31 accepts the selection of the Home tab 813. When the Reception unit 31 accepts the selection of the Home tab 813, the Provision unit 34 makes the available support services in the support service provision area 82 communication services. In this case, participants can exchange messages with other participants (including the project proposer O) in a chat format in the support service provision area 82, as shown in Figure 9.

[0118] The Task Management tab 814 is a tab for selecting the Task Management service as one of the support services. Participants can select the Task Management tab 814. The Reception Unit 31 accepts the selection of the Task Management tab 814. When the Reception Unit 31 accepts the selection of the Task Management tab 814, the Provision Unit 34 makes the Task Management service the available support service in the Support Service Provision Area 82. In this case, participants can view a list of tasks that each participant should perform and a list of tasks that each participant has completed in the Support Service Provision Area 82.

[0119] The schedule management tab 815 is a tab for selecting the schedule management service as one of the support services. Participants can select the schedule management tab 815. The reception unit 31 accepts the selection of the schedule management tab 815. When the selection of the schedule management tab 815 is accepted by the reception unit 31, the provision unit 34 makes the schedule management service one of the support services available in the support service provision area 82. In this case, participants can view and modify their schedules in the support service provision area 82.

[0120] The file save tab 816 is a tab for selecting the file save service as one of the support services. Participants can select the file save tab 816. The reception unit 31 accepts the selection of the file save tab 816. If the selection of the file save tab 816 is accepted by the reception unit 31, the provision unit 34 makes the file save service one of the support services available in the support service provision area 82. In this case, participants can save and edit files related to the project in the support service provision area 82.

[0121] Furthermore, the provision unit 34 provides benefits related to the project to supporters. Supporters are, for example, users U who have provided financial support. Benefits related to the project may include, but are not limited to, project deliverables, a list of supporters, information on other projects in which participants are involved, and information indicating the progress of the project. The provision unit 34 provides more detailed information than the project progress information disclosed by the disclosure unit 32, but is not limited to such examples.

[0122] Furthermore, the provision unit 34 provides supporters with benefits commensurate with the amount of support. Benefits commensurate with the amount of support may include, for example, information within a scope commensurate with the amount of support (for example, the scope of disclosure of information regarding the progress of the project), but are not limited to such examples.

[0123] [4. Processing Procedure] Next, the procedure for information processing by the processing unit 12 of the information processing device 1 according to the embodiment will be described. Figure 10 is a flowchart showing an example of information processing by the processing unit 12 of the information processing device 1 according to the embodiment.

[0124] As shown in Figure 10, the processing unit 12 of the information processing device 1 determines whether or not it has received project-related information (step S10). If the processing unit 12 determines that it has received project-related information (step S10: Yes), it publishes the project information (step S11).

[0125] If the processing in step S11 is completed, or if it is determined that no project-related information has been received (step S10: No), the processing unit 12 determines whether or not the application information has been received (step S12). If the processing unit 12 determines that the application information has been received (step S12: Yes), it performs the application processing (step S13). The application processing in step S13 is the processing shown in steps 30 to S33 in Figure 11, which will be described in detail later.

[0126] If the processing in step S13 is completed, or if it is determined that no application information has been received (step S12: No), the processing unit 12 determines whether it is time to provide support services (step S14). The timing for providing support services is, for example, when the support service screen 80 is displayed, or when one of the multiple tabs included in the support service screen 80 is selected. If the processing unit 12 determines that it is time to provide support services (step S14: Yes), it provides support services (step S15).

[0127] If the processing in step S15 is completed, or if it is determined that it is not yet time to provide support services (step S14: No), the processing unit 12 determines whether it is time to disclose information (step S16). If the processing unit 12 determines that it is time to disclose information (step S16: Yes), it discloses the project progress information (step S17).

[0128] If the processing in step S17 is completed, or if it is determined that it is not yet time for information disclosure (step S16: No), the processing unit 12 determines whether or not financial support has been accepted (step S18). If the processing unit 12 determines that financial support has been accepted (step S18: Yes), it performs the support processing (step S19).

[0129] If the processing in step S19 is completed, or if it is determined that no financial support has been accepted (step S18: No), the processing unit 12 determines whether it is time to provide the reward (step S20). If the processing unit 12 determines that it is time to provide the reward (step S20: Yes), it provides identification to user U who provided the financial support (step S21).

[0130] If the processing in step S21 is completed, or if it is determined that it is not yet time to provide the benefit (step S20: No), the processing unit 12 determines whether it is time to terminate the operation (step S22). For example, the processing unit 12 determines that it is time to terminate the operation if the power to the information processing device 1 is turned off, or if it determines that a termination operation has been performed by operating on an unillustrated control unit of the information processing device 1.

[0131] If the processing unit 12 determines that it is not yet time to terminate the operation (step S22: No), it proceeds to step S10. If it determines that it is time to terminate the operation (step S22: Yes), it terminates the process shown in Figure 10.

[0132] Figure 11 is a flowchart showing an example of application processing by the processing unit 12 of the information processing device 1 according to the embodiment. As shown in Figure 11, the processing unit 12 determines whether the applicant meets the application conditions based on the information shown in the application information (step S30). If the processing unit 12 determines that the applicant meets the application conditions (step S30: Yes), it stores the application information (step S31).

[0133] If the processing in step S30 is completed, or if it is determined that the recruitment conditions are not met (step S30: No), the processing unit 12 determines whether it is time to decide on participants (step S32). The timing for deciding on participants is, for example, when the recruitment period ends, but it may also be at a specific time during the recruitment period.

[0134] If the processing unit 12 determines that it is time to decide on participants (step S32: Yes), it decides on participants based on the application information stored in the memory unit 11 (step S33). For example, the processing unit 12 can input a prompt to the generating AI that includes the application information stored in the memory unit 11, application conditions (e.g., recruitment content information 630a), and instruction information that instructs the AI ​​to decide on participants based on the application information and application conditions, and have the generating AI output information on the determined participants. Alternatively, the processing unit 12 can have the generating AI extract applicants who meet the application conditions, request the project proposer O to select from the extracted applicants, and have the project proposer O decide on the final participants.

[0135] If the processing unit 12 has finished the process in step S23, or if it determines that it is not yet time to determine the participants (step S32: No), it terminates the process shown in Figure 11.

[0136] [5. Variations] In the example described above, the public access unit 32 publishes project information and project progress information, but it can also provide project execution result information to users U and others when the project is completed. For example, the public access unit 32 can publish information similar to the project progress information shown in Figure 8 as project execution result information. In this case, the execution result information includes the execution result instead of the project progress information 71. The execution result is, for example, the completed film if the project is film production.

[0137] The public access unit 32 determines the presence and size of the additional recruitment details display button 74 and the application button 75 shown in Figure 8, according to the user U. For example, the public access unit 32 may display the additional recruitment details display button 74 and the application button 75 to user U who has the skills necessary for the ongoing project, and may not display the additional recruitment details display button 74 and the application button 75 to user U who does not have the skills necessary for the ongoing project.

[0138] Furthermore, the public section 32 can also display the additional recruitment details display button 74 and the application button 75 larger for users U who possess the necessary skills for the ongoing project and have participated in more than a threshold number of successful projects. In addition, the public section 32 can choose not to display the additional recruitment details display button 74 and the application button 75 to users U who are participating in other projects, even if they possess the necessary skills for the ongoing project and have participated in more than a threshold number of successful projects.

[0139] Furthermore, the disclosure unit 32 can change the scope of disclosure (for example, the users U to whom disclosure is made) depending on the content of the project. For example, for a particular project, the disclosure unit 32 can limit the disclosure of project information and information on ongoing projects to users U who possess the necessary skills for the project and have participated in a threshold number of successful projects.

[0140] Furthermore, the public information section 32 may choose not to disclose information about ongoing projects in certain cases. For example, if the project is advertising production, the public information section 32 may choose not to disclose information about the ongoing project.

[0141] Furthermore, in the example described above, the acquisition unit 30, reception unit 31, publication unit 32, generation processing unit 33, and provision unit 34 are implemented by the information processing device 1, but some or all of the acquisition unit 30, reception unit 31, publication unit 32, generation processing unit 33, and provision unit 34 may be implemented by at least one of the terminal devices 2 and 3.

[0142] Furthermore, as a billing model for users, companies can sponsor paid menus that would normally incur subscription fees, allowing users to use them without paying any fees. This model allows companies to encourage the participation of talented users such as creators in projects, increase their visibility as sponsors, and enable users to use advanced features without incurring additional costs.

[0143] Furthermore, the processing unit 12 functions as a recording processing unit that records the progress of the project (an example of a plan), and the providing unit 34 can provide the progress of the project as a derivative work of the project. The generation processing unit 33 records the project planner, participating members, interactions between members, adoption status of intermediate products, fan reactions, etc., in chronological order and compiles them as text, images, and videos. In this case, a generation AI may be used to perform this processing.

[0144] Furthermore, the processing unit 12 can function as a distribution unit that distributes money supported by user U, who has viewed information on ongoing projects or project execution results, to multiple participants. The financial support may be points that can be exchanged for money, points that can be used for shopping, or electronic money. The processing unit 12, as a distribution unit, can distribute more money to participants who have created information that user U has viewed more frequently. The processing unit 12, as a distribution unit, can also distribute more money to participants who have contributed more to the information on ongoing projects or project execution results.

[0145] [6. Hardware Configuration] The information processing device 1 according to the above embodiment is implemented by a computer 200 having a configuration such as that shown in Figure 12. Figure 12 is a hardware configuration diagram showing an example of a computer 200 that implements the functions of the information processing device 1 according to the embodiment. The computer 200 has a CPU 201, RAM 202, ROM (Read Only Memory) 203, HDD (Hard Disk Drive) 204, communication interface (I / F) 205, input / output interface (I / F) 206, and media interface (I / F) 207.

[0146] The CPU 201 operates based on programs stored in the ROM 203 or HDD 204, controlling various components. The ROM 203 stores the boot program executed by the CPU 201 when the computer 200 starts up, as well as programs that depend on the computer 200's hardware.

[0147] HDD204 stores programs executed by CPU201 and data used by such programs. Communication interface205 receives data from other devices via network N (see Figure 2) and sends it to CPU201, and transmits data generated by CPU201 to other devices via network N.

[0148] The CPU 201 controls output devices such as displays and printers, and input devices such as keyboards or mice, via the input / output interface 206. The CPU 201 acquires data from input devices via the input / output interface 206. The CPU 201 also outputs data it has generated to output devices via the input / output interface 206.

[0149] The media interface 207 reads a program or data stored in the recording medium 208 and provides it to the CPU 201 via the RAM 202. The CPU 201 loads the program from the recording medium 208 onto the RAM 202 via the media interface 207 and executes the loaded program. The recording medium 208 can be, for example, an optical recording medium such as a DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) or PD (Phase Change Rewritable Disk), a magneto-optical recording medium such as an MO (Magneto-Optical disk), tape media, magnetic recording medium, or semiconductor memory.

[0150] For example, the CPU 201 of computer 200 implements the functions of processing unit 12 by executing a program loaded onto RAM 202. Additionally, data from storage unit 11 is stored in HDD 204. The CPU 201 of computer 200 reads and executes these programs from recording medium 208, but as another example, these programs may be obtained from other devices via network N.

[0151] [7. Other] Furthermore, among the processes described in the above embodiments, all or part of the processes described as being performed automatically can be performed manually, or all or part of the processes described as being performed manually can be performed automatically by known methods. In addition, the processing procedures, specific names, and various data and parameters shown in the above document and drawings can be changed at will unless otherwise specified. For example, the various information shown in each figure is not limited to the information shown.

[0152] Furthermore, the components of each illustrated device are functionally conceptual and do not necessarily need to be physically configured as shown. In other words, the specific forms of distribution and integration of each device are not limited to those shown, and all or part of them can be functionally or physically distributed and integrated in any unit according to various loads and usage conditions.

[0153] For example, the information processing device 1 described above may be implemented using a terminal device, a terminal device and a server computer, or multiple server computers. Furthermore, depending on the function, it may be implemented by calling external platforms via APIs or network computing, allowing for flexible configuration changes.

[0154] Furthermore, the embodiments and modifications described above can be combined as appropriate, provided that the processing content is not inconsistent.

[0155] [8. Effects] As described above, the information processing device 1 according to the present application comprises a project acceptance unit 40, a publication unit 32, an application acceptance unit 41, and a provision unit 34. The project acceptance unit 40 accepts project information from project proposer O, who is the proposer of the project. The publication unit 32 publishes the project information accepted by the project acceptance unit 40. The application acceptance unit 41 accepts applications to participate in the project from applicants who wish to participate in the project. The provision unit 34 provides support services to multiple participants, including project proposer O and applicants, to support the realization of a collaborative project. In this way, the information processing device 1 can support the realization of a project in ways other than financially.

[0156] Furthermore, the service provider 34 provides support services, including a service that provides a platform for communication among multiple participants. This allows the information processing device 1 to provide more support for the realization of the project in ways other than financially.

[0157] Furthermore, the public information section 32 publishes information about the ongoing project, and the application acceptance section 41 accepts additional applications to participate in the project while it is underway. This allows the information processing device 1 to provide more support for the realization of the project in ways other than financially.

[0158] Furthermore, the information processing device 1 according to this application includes a support reception unit 42 that accepts applications for financial support for the project from supporters after the information on the project's progress has been made public by the public disclosure unit 32. This allows the information processing device 1 to better support the realization of the project.

[0159] Furthermore, the provision unit 34 provides supporters with benefits related to the project. This allows the information processing device 1 to better support the realization of the project.

[0160] Furthermore, the provision unit 34 provides supporters with benefits commensurate with the amount of support they provide. This allows the information processing device 1 to better support the realization of the project.

[0161] Furthermore, the public access unit 32 makes public information as ongoing project information, including at least one of the following: interim deliverables of the project and information indicating the project's progress.
