[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2003-132237 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, because a large amount of money may be required to realize a new business plan, even if one wishes to realize a new business plan, there are cases where one is forced to give up due to the cost. The new business plan contracting system described in the above-mentioned publication is a system that focuses on contractors who undertake new business plans, and although it is expected that a large number of contractors will participate, there is still room for improvement in terms of ensuring the number of new business plan registrations, which is the essential point.

[0006] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above, and one of its objects is to provide technology that contributes to both increasing the number of proposers of new projects and realizing those new projects. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The new project ordering device, the new project ordering system, the new project ordering method, and the new project ordering program of the present invention employ the following means to achieve the above-mentioned object.

[0008] According to a preferred embodiment of the new project ordering device of the present invention, a new project ordering device is configured to match a proposer who has proposed a new project with a participant who wants to participate in the new project, and to place an order for the new project for which a match has been made. The new project ordering device includes a project acceptance unit, a project publication unit, a project participation acceptance unit, a memory unit, a feasibility determination unit, a realization cost calculation unit, and an allotted cost calculation unit. The project acceptance unit accepts a new project and acquires proposer information related to the proposer. The project publication unit publishes new project information related to the accepted new project. The project participation acceptance unit accepts participation in the new project and acquires participant information related to the participants in the new project. The memory unit stores proposer information, participant information, and contractor information related to the contractor of the new project. The feasibility determination unit determines whether the new project can be realized based on the proposer information, participant information, and contractor information. The realization cost calculation unit calculates a plan realization cost, which is a cost required to realize the new plan, based on the contractor information when the feasibility determination unit determines that the new plan is feasible. . minutesThe cost calculation unit calculates the costs to be borne by the proposer and the participants for the project realization costs based on the project realization costs, the proposer information, and the participant information. The project participation reception unit acquires participant information and is capable of receiving unique requests from participants for a new project, the memory unit is capable of storing unique request information relating to the unique requests, and the shared cost calculation unit calculates the shared costs taking into account the unique request information. Here, the "proposer information" in the present invention includes identification information that can identify the proposer, the proposer's name, the proposer's contact information (address, telephone number, email address, etc.), new project information, the minimum number of participants required, etc. Furthermore, the "new project information" in the present invention typically corresponds to the content of a new project. The "participant information" in the present invention includes the number of participants, identification information that can identify the participants, the participant's name, the participant's contact information (address, telephone number, email address, etc.), information on whether or not the person has been introduced, and if the person has been introduced, the name and contact information of the introducer (address, telephone number, email address, etc.). Furthermore, the "contractor information" in the present invention includes the number of contractors, identification information that can identify the contractor, the contractor's name, the contractor's contact information (address, telephone number, email address, etc.), information on whether or not the person has been introduced, and if the person has been introduced, the name and contact information of the introducer, and the contract fee. Furthermore, the "unique request information" in this invention typically refers to information for changing and customizing the content of a new project to meet the requests of participants, such as information regarding optional functions and optional services.

[0009] According to the present invention, a proposer can register a new plan, and a participant can register to participate in a new plan registered by the proposer, so that a match can be made between a proposer who wants to realize a new plan and a participant who wants to participate in the new plan. This makes it possible to keep the burden of plan realization costs lower than when a new plan is realized alone, and reduces the occurrence of a situation in which the realization of a new plan has to be abandoned due to costs. As a result, it is possible to increase the number of proposers who propose new plans. In addition, since the feasibility of a new plan is determined based on the proposer information, the participant information, and the contractor information, if it is determined that the new plan is feasible, the new plan can be realized by the contractor. Furthermore, according to the present invention, if it is determined that the new plan is feasible, the costs to be shared by the proposer and the participants for the plan realization costs can be calculated. Furthermore, according to the present invention, even if the content of a new project is changed or customized to meet the requests of the participants, the shared costs can be calculated taking into account the change or customization.

[0010] According to a further embodiment of the new project ordering device of the present invention, the project disclosure unit can disclose project achievement information related to the realized project, which is a realized new project. The project participation acceptance unit can accept participation in the realized project and acquire additional participant information related to the additional participant who is a participant in the realized project. The storage unit stores the additional participant information. Then, the shared cost calculation unit recalculates the shared cost based on the project realization cost and the additional participant information, and calculates the return cost according to the recalculated shared cost. The "additional participant information" in the present invention includes the number of additional participants, identification information that can identify the additional participants, the additional participant name, the contact information of the additional participant (address, telephone number, email address, etc.), information on whether the additional participant was introduced, and if the additional participant was introduced, the name and contact information of the introducer (address, telephone number, email address, etc.). In addition, the "realized project information" in the present invention includes the content of the realized new project, the number of participants, the participant information, the shared cost at the current time, etc.

[0011] According to this embodiment, when an additional participant appears in the achievement project, the cost share to be borne by the additional participant can be recalculated, and the return cost corresponding to the cost share can be calculated.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0042] Next, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to examples. EXAMPLES

[0043] The new project ordering system 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention is configured as a system that provides a joint development platform that enables multiple member companies to jointly develop one system. As shown in FIG. 1, the system includes a server 2 as a new project ordering device according to the embodiment of the present invention, a platformer terminal 4 that can be connected to the server 2 via a network, multiple member company terminals 6A, 6B, 6C, and 6D that can be connected to the server 2 via a network, and a DX support company terminal 8 that can be connected to the server 2 via a network. In this embodiment, the platformer, which is the provider of the joint development platform, is configured to also serve as a vendor that undertakes new system development. If the platformer cannot undertake all of the new system development, the platformer outsources the parts of the new system development that it cannot undertake to other vendors. In other words, the contract fee Cm for new system development is calculated by the platformer in consideration of the contract fee Cmi (i=1, 2, . . . , g) of the outsourced vendor entrusted by the platformer (Cm=ΣCmi). Here, the "joint development platform" in this invention is defined as an online venue (e.g., a website) that enables multiple member companies to jointly develop a single system. Note that new system development is an example of an embodiment corresponding to a "new project" in this invention. Also, a vendor is an example of an embodiment corresponding to a "contractor" in this invention.

In addition, the new system development information 48 that is made public after the project participation reception unit 24 accepts the registration for participation in the new system development or after the contract reception unit 26 accepts the registration for receiving an order for the new system development includes, in addition to the above-mentioned information, information (hereinafter referred to as "participating company information") on the member companies (hereinafter referred to as "participating companies") that have registered their participation in the new system development, and receiving vendor information that is information on the vendor (in this embodiment, the platform provider, but may also be referred to as the "receiving vendor") that has registered the order for the new system development. Furthermore, the new system development information 48 that is made public after the realization cost calculation unit 30 calculates the development cost Cd or after the shared cost calculation unit 32 calculates the shared cost Es includes, in addition to the new system development information 48 shown in FIG. 4(a), the development cost Cd calculated by the realization cost calculation unit 30 and the shared cost calculated by the shared cost calculation unit 32.The closed system development information 49 is basically the same as the new system development information 48 shown in FIG. 4(b), but the closed system development information 49 that is made public after the planning participation reception unit 24 accepts the registration for participation in the closed system development includes information (hereinafter referred to as "additional participating companies") that has registered for participation in the closed system. It goes without saying that, among the proposing company information, participating company information, and receiving vendor information, passwords set by the proposing company, participating company, and platformer, and information on customization requested by the participating company for the new system development described later, are not made public. Here, the planning disclosure unit 22 corresponds to the "plan disclosure unit" and the "shared cost disclosure unit" in the present invention, the participating companies correspond to the "participants" in the present invention, and the participating company information is an example of an embodiment corresponding to the "participant information". Also, the receiving vendor information is an example of an embodiment corresponding to the "contractor information" in the present invention. Furthermore, the closed system development corresponds to the "accomplished project" in the present invention, and the closed system development information 49 is an example of an embodiment corresponding to the "accomplished project information" in the present invention. Furthermore, the additional participating company corresponds to the "additional participant" in the present invention, and the additional participating company information is an example of an embodiment corresponding to the "additional participant information" in the present invention.

[0048] The project participation acceptance unit 24 accepts participation from member companies in new system development and participation from member companies in closed system development. In this embodiment, the project participation acceptance unit 24 acquires participating company information and additional participating company information, which are information about member companies (participating companies and additional participating companies) who have registered for participation in new system development and closed system development, based on information entered into a new system development participation registration screen and a closed system development participation registration screen displayed by the member companies executing an application on the member company terminals 6A, 6B, 6C, and 6D. Note that, in this embodiment, the project participation acceptance unit 24 is configured to acquire participating company information and additional participating company information from member company information 42 described later stored in the storage unit 40. In addition, the project participation acceptance unit 24 reads new system development information 48 and closed system development information 49 from the storage unit 40, adds participating company information to the new system development information 48 and closed system development information 49, and transmits the new system development information 48 and closed system development information 49 to the storage unit 40 (see FIG. 4). In other words, when a participating company appears to participate in the new system development, or when a participating company appears to participate in the closed system development, the project participation reception unit 24 uses the participating company information and the additional participating company information to update the new system development information 48 and the closed system development information 49.

[0050] The feasibility determination unit 28 determines whether the new system development accepted by the plan acceptance unit 20 is feasible. In this embodiment, the feasibility determination unit 28 determines whether the new system development is feasible based on the new system development information 48 stored in the storage unit 40. Specifically, the feasibility determination unit 28 determines whether the new system development is feasible based on the "participation solicitation period Pp" and the "required number of participating companies Npc*" of the "contents of new system development" in the new system development information 48, and the presence or absence of order receiving vendor information. More specifically, the feasibility determination unit 28 determines that the new system development is feasible when there is participation registration of the required number of participating companies Npc* within the participation solicitation period Pp and there is an order registration for the new system development, and determines that the new system development is not feasible when there is no participation registration of the required number of participating companies Npc* within the participation solicitation period Pp or there is no order registration for the new system development. In addition, when the feasibility determination unit 28 determines that the new system development is feasible, it transmits information to the notification unit 38 that the new system development is feasible, closes the recruitment for the new system development, and transmits the new system development information 48 as recruitment-ended system development information 49 to the storage unit 40. In other words, it can be said that the feasibility determination unit 28 replaces (restores) the new system development information 48 stored in the storage unit 40 with recruitment-ended system development information 49. Here, "closing the recruitment for the new system development" corresponds to replacing (restores) the new system development information 48 with recruitment-ended system development information 49. As a result, the public information is updated from the new system development information 48 to the recruitment-ended system development information 49, so that the member companies and the platform operator can know that the recruitment for the new system development has been closed. The participation recruitment period Pp corresponds to the "predetermined period" in the present invention, and the required number of participating companies Npc* is an example of an embodiment corresponding to the "predetermined number" in the present invention.

[0051] The realization cost calculation unit 30 calculates the development cost Cd. In this embodiment, the realization cost calculation unit 30 calculates the development cost Cd based on the order receiving vendor information (contract cost Cm) in the new system development information 48 stored in the storage unit 40. The realization cost calculation unit 30 also reads the new system development information 48 stored in the storage unit 40, adds the development cost Cd to the new system development information 48, and transmits the new system development information 48 to the storage unit 40. In other words, when the feasibility determination unit 28 determines that the system development is feasible, the realization cost calculation unit 30 uses the development cost Cd to update the new system development information 48. The development cost Cd is an example of an embodiment corresponding to the "plan realization cost" in the present invention.

[0052] The shared cost calculation unit 32 calculates, when developing a new system, shared costs Es, which are costs shared by participating companies participating in the new system development including the proposing company, shared costs Es, which are costs shared by participating companies participating in the closed system development, and return costs Er, which are costs returned to participating companies participating in the new system development including the proposing company. Specifically, the shared costs Es and return costs Er are calculated based on new system development information 48 and closed system development information 49 stored in the storage unit 40.

[0053] Furthermore, the shared expense calculation unit 32 reads the new system development information 48 and the closed-recruitment system development information 49 stored in the storage unit 40, adds the shared expense Es and the return expense Er to the participating company information in the new system development information 48 and the participating company information in the closed-recruitment system development information 49, and transmits the new system development information 48 and the closed-recruitment system development information 49 to the storage unit 40. In other words, it can be said that the shared expense calculation unit 32 updates the new system development information 48 using the shared expense Es when a participating company appears in the new system development, and updates the closed-recruitment system development information 49 using the shared expense Es and the return expense Er when a participating company appears in a system for which recruitment has already ended.

[0054] The introduction determination unit 34 determines whether a participating company or vendor has been introduced by a DX support company. Specifically, the introduction determination unit 34 determines whether a participating company or vendor has been introduced by a DX support company based on information entered by the participating company or vendor when registering as a member in this system (member company information 42 and vendor information 44 described below). More specifically, if information about the introducer is described in the member company information 42 or vendor information 44, it is determined that the participating company or vendor has been introduced by a DX support company.

[0055] The introduction fee calculation unit 36 ​​calculates the introduction fee Fr to be paid to the DX support company when the introduction determination unit determines that the participating company or vendor is introduced by the DX support company. The introduction fee Fr can be determined in advance between the platform provider and the DX support company for each new system development.

[0056] The notification unit 38 notifies the member companies and the platform provider via the member company terminals 6A, 6B, 6C, 6D and the platform provider terminal 4 that the new system development has been successful or has not been successful, notifies the proposing company and participating companies of the shared costs Es and the return costs Er via the member company terminals 6A, 6B, 6C, 6D, and notifies the DX support company of the introduction fee Fr via the DX support company terminal 8.

[0057] The storage unit 40 is secured in at least one of a RAM and a hard disk (HDD), and stores member company information 42, vendor information 44, DX support company information 46, new system development information 48, closed system development information 49, and the like. As shown in FIG. 5, the member company information 42 includes a company identification ID given to each member company, company name, address, telephone number, email address, website URL, date of establishment, capital, number of employees, business content, whether there is an introducer, introducer information, password, and the like. As shown in FIG. 6, the platform information (hereinafter referred to as "vendor information 44") 44 includes a company name, address, telephone number, email address, website URL, date of establishment, capital, number of employees, business content, password, and the like. In addition, the DX support company information 46 includes almost the same content as the member company information 42, except for "whether there is an introducer" and "introducer information". At the stage when a new system development is registered, new system development information 48 includes an identification ID assigned to each new system development, proposing company information which is information on the member company that registered the new system development, and the contents of the new system development, as shown in Fig. 3, and at the stage when participation in a new system development is registered or an order for the new system development is registered, in addition to the above information, as shown in Fig. 4(a), it includes participating company information which is information on the member company that registered participation in the new system development, and order receiving vendor information (in this embodiment, platform provider information) which is information on the vendor that registered the order for the new system development (in this embodiment, platform provider information). After an order for the new system development is registered, new system development information 48 includes development cost Cd and shared cost Es, as shown in Fig. 4(b).

[0058] The closed system development information 49 basically contains the same information as the new system development information 48 shown in Figure 4, except that additional participating company information is added after participation in the closed system development is registered.

[0059] The platformer terminal 4 is a terminal used by the platformer when using the services of the joint development platform provided by the server 2, and is a computer, smartphone, tablet, etc. equipped with a CPU, memory, input / output interface, and communication unit. The CPU reads out the program in the memory and processes information according to the steps instructed by the program, thereby realizing various functions of the platformer terminal 4. The program includes, for example, an application for the platformer to use the new planning and ordering system 1 according to the present invention.

[0060] The platformer can use various screens displayed by executing the platformer application on the platformer terminal 4 to, for example, input platformer information (vendor information 44) and register an order for new system development (input of order-receiving vendor information (platformer information)). Here, the order-receiving vendor information (platformer information) includes the new system development contract fee Cm and option fees for realizing customization requests from participating companies. The present invention can also be applied when the platformer application is not installed on the platformer terminal 4. In this case, for example, the new planning and ordering system 1 can be used while exchanging data between the platformer terminal 4 and the relay system using various screens displayed on the platformer terminal 4 by connecting the platformer terminal 4 to a designated site of the relay system. The platformer terminal is an example of an embodiment corresponding to the "contractor terminal" in the present invention.

[0061] The member company terminals 6A, 6B, 6C, 6D are terminals used by member companies when using the services of the joint development platform provided by the server 2, and are computers, smartphones, tablets, etc. equipped with a CPU, memory, input / output interface, and communication unit. The CPU executes programs stored in the memory, for example, applications such as a web browser for viewing various information provided by the server 2 via the network, thereby realizing various functions of the member company terminals 6A, 6B, 6C, 6D. The programs include, for example, member company applications for using the new planning and ordering system 1 according to the present invention.

[0062] Member companies can register as members in this system by accessing server 2 via the network using member company terminals 6A, 6B, 6C, 6D. Member companies input member company information 42 into a specified input screen displayed on member company terminals 6A, 6B, 6C, 6D. When a member company inputs member company information 42 and sends it to server 2, a user ID (e.g., a company identification ID) is sent from server 2 to member company terminals 6A, 6B, 6C, 6D. Member companies can access server 2 by using member company terminals 6A, 6B, 6C, 6D to input the sent user ID (e.g., a company identification ID) and a password they have set themselves into a specified input screen.

[0063] Using various screens displayed by executing applications on the member company terminals 6A, 6B, 6C, and 6D, the member companies can, for example, register new system development (input of proposing company information), view new system development information 48, register for participation in new system development (input of participating company information), view closed system development information 49, and register for participation in closed system development (input of additional participating company information). When registering for participation in new system development or closed system development, the member companies can include information on customization requested by each member company for the new system development (hereinafter, "customization information"). In this case, the participating company information and additional participating company information include the customization information. The terminal of the proposing company among the member company terminals 6A, 6B, 6C, and 6D of the member companies corresponds to the "proposer terminal" in the present invention, and the terminal of the participating company or additional participating company among the member company terminals 6A, 6B, 6C, and 6D of the member companies corresponds to the "participant terminal" in the present invention.

[0064] In addition, without installing applications on the member company terminals 6A, 6B, 6C, 6D, for example, the member company terminals 6A, 6B, 6C, 6D may be configured to connect to a specified site of the relay system, and various functions of the member company terminals 6A, 6B, 6C, 6D may be realized while exchanging data between the member company terminals 6A, 6B, 6C, 6D and the relay system using various screens displayed on the member company terminals 6A, 6B, 6C, 6D.

[0065] The DX support company terminal 8 is a terminal used by the DX support company when using the services of the joint development platform, and is a computer, smartphone, tablet, etc. equipped with a CPU, memory, input / output interface, and communication unit. The CPU executes programs stored in the memory, for example, applications such as a web browser for browsing various information provided by the server 2 via a network, thereby realizing various functions of the DX support company terminal 8. The programs include, for example, a DX support company application for using the new planning and ordering system 1 according to the present invention.

[0066] A DX support company can register with this system by accessing the server 2 via the network using a DX support company terminal 8. The DX support company inputs DX support company information 46 into a predetermined input screen displayed on the DX support company terminal 8. When the DX support company inputs the DX support company information 46 and sends it to the server 2, a user ID (e.g., a company identification ID) is sent from the server 2 to the DX support company terminal 8. The DX support company can access the server 2 by using the DX support company terminal 8 to input the sent user ID (e.g., a company identification ID) and a password set by the company itself into a predetermined input screen. The DX support company is an example of an implementation configuration corresponding to an "introducing company" in this invention.

[0067] The DX support company can view, for example, new system development information 48 and closed system development information 49 using various screens displayed by executing an application on the DX support company terminal 8. Note that, without installing an application on the DX support company terminal 8, for example, the DX support company terminal 8 may be connected to a designated site of the relay system, and various functions of the DX support company terminal 8 may be realized while exchanging data between the DX support company terminal 8 and the relay system using various screens displayed on the DX support company terminal 8.

[0068] Next, the operation of the new project ordering system 1 thus configured will be described, in particular the operation when placing an order for new system development, and the operation when a registration for participation in closed system development is made. First, the operation when placing an order for new system development will be described, and then the operation when a registration for participation in closed system development is made. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of a new system development ordering processing routine executed by the server 2, and FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of a return cost calculation processing routine executed by the server 2.

[0069] <New system development order processing> When the new system development order receiving and placing processing routine is executed, the server 2, as shown in FIG. 7, first executes a process to determine whether or not a new system development has been registered (step S100). Specifically, the server 2 determines whether or not new system development information 48 is stored in the storage unit 40. If a new system development has been registered, the server 2 executes a process to read the new system development information 48 (see FIG. 3) (step S102) and executes a process to publish the read new system development information 48 to the member companies (step S104). This allows the member companies and the platformer to view the new system development information 48 by executing an application on the member company terminals 6A, 6B, 6C, 6D or the platformer terminal 4 to display a predetermined screen, and to register participation in the published new system development or register an order. At this time, the member company that registers participation in the new system development can include customization information in the participating company information. In addition, the platformer that registers an order for the new system development includes the contracted fee Cm and the option fee in the order receiving vendor information (platformer information).

[0070] Next, the server 2 executes a process to determine whether or not there has been registration for participation in the published new system development (step S106), and if there has been registration for participation, it updates the new system development information 48 (see FIG. 4(a)), executes a process to publish the updated new system development information 48 (step S108), and executes a process to determine whether or not an order has been registered for the new system development (step S110). Here, the update of the new system development information 48 is performed as a process to add participating company information to the new system development information 48 (see FIG. 3) in which the proposing company information and the contents of the new system development are linked to each other (see FIG. 4(a)).

[0071] When an order for new system development is registered, the server 2 reads the contract fee Cm and option fee (step S112) and executes a process of calculating the development cost Cd based on the read contract fee Cm (step S114). Here, the contract fee Cm and option fee are calculated by the platformer after viewing the new system development information 48 using the platformer terminal 4, based on the "contents of the new system" and "participating company information (including customization information, the presence or absence of an introducer, and introducer information)" contained in the new system development information 48, and are input as one of the order receiving vendor information (platformer information) using the platformer terminal 4 when registering an order for new system development, and are obtained from the order receiving vendor information (platformer information) when the realization cost calculation unit 30 calculates the development cost Cd.

[0072] In this embodiment, the development cost Cd is the total of the contract cost Cm and the platform revenue Rp (Cd=Cm+Rp), and the platform revenue Rp is the total of the platform usage fee Fps, which is the revenue of the platform provider, and the total referral fee Frt to all DX support companies (Rp=Fps+Frt). The contract cost Cm and the platform revenue Rp are set to a predetermined ratio in advance, and the platform usage fee Fps and the total referral fee Frt are set to a predetermined ratio in advance. That is, for example, when the ratio of the contract cost Cm to the platform revenue Rp is "g:(1-g)" and the ratio of the platform usage fee Fps to the total referral fee Frt is "h:(1-h)", the platform revenue Rp is "(1-g) / g×Cm" and the development cost Cd is "1 / g×Cm". In addition, the platform usage fee Fps is "1 / h x (1-g) / g x Cm", and the total referral fee Frt is "1 / (1-h) x (1-g) / g x Cm", where 0≦g≦1, 0≦h≦1.

[0073] After calculating the development cost Cd, the server 2 executes a process to calculate the shared cost Es of each participating company participating in the new system development, including the proposing company, with respect to the development cost Cd (step S116). In this embodiment, the shared cost Es is calculated by dividing the development cost Cd by the number of participating companies, including the proposing company (hereinafter referred to as the "number of participating companies" or the "number of existing participating companies") Npc. In other words, the server 2 calculates the shared cost Es as "1 / g x Cm x 1 / Npc".

[0074] Then, the server 2 executes a process of notifying the participating companies of the calculated shared cost Es (step S118), and executes a process of updating the new system development information 48 using the calculated development cost Cd and shared cost Es (a process of adding the calculated development cost Cd and shared cost Es to the new system development information 48 and storing them) (see FIG. 4), and executes a process of publishing the updated new system development information 48 (a process of updating the published information) (step S120). By publishing the updated new system development information 48 (updating the published information), the member companies can view the updated new system development information, particularly the development cost Cd and shared cost Es, by executing an application on the member company terminals 6A, 6B, 6C, and 6D to display a predetermined screen. As a result, it is possible to promote the registration for participation in the new system development for member companies that want to register for participation in the new system development but are hesitant to register for participation in the new system development because the shared cost Es is an obstacle.

[0075] Next, server 2 executes a process to determine whether the number of registered participants in the new system development, i.e., the number of participating companies Npc, is equal to or greater than the required number of participating companies Npc* (Npc≧Npc*) (step S122), and if the number of participating companies Npc is equal to or greater than the required number of participating companies Npc*, closes the recruitment for the new system development, notifies the proposing company, participating companies, and platform provider that the new system development has been established, stores the new system development information 48 as recruitment-ended system development information 49, and executes a process to make the recruitment-ended system development information 49 public (step S124). Here, the required number of participating companies Npc* is input in advance by the proposing company when the proposing company registers the new system development.

[0076] The member companies and platform providers can know that the application for new system development has been closed by publishing the application closed system development information 49 instead of publishing the new system development information 48. The notification unit 38 may be configured to notify the member company terminals 6A, 6B, 6C, 6D and the platform provider terminal 4 that the application for new system development has been closed.

[0077] After the server 2 has performed the process of step S216 in this way, the server 2 executes a process of determining whether there is a company introduced by a DX support company among the participating companies (step S126). The determination of whether there is a company introduced by a DX support company among the participating companies can be made using the "presence or absence of an introducer" included in the participating company information. If there is a company introduced by a DX support company among the participating companies, a process of calculating the referral fee Fr is executed (step S128), and a process of notifying the calculated referral fee Fr to the DX support company that is the introducer of the participating company is executed (step S130), and this processing routine is terminated. Here, in this embodiment, the referral fee Fr is the value obtained by dividing the total referral fee Frt by the number of introducing companies Nic (Fr = Frt / Nic). That is, when the total referral fee Frt is "1 / (1 - h)×(1 - g) / g×Cm" as described above, the referral fee Fr paid to each introducing company (DX support company) is "1 / (1 - h)×(1 - g) / g×Cm×1 / Nic". Note that if the server 2 determines in step S126 that there is no company introduced by a DX support company among the participating companies, it does nothing and terminates this processing routine.

[0078] On the other hand, in step S106, if there is no participation registration for the publicly announced new system development, or in step S124, if the number of participating companies Npc is less than the required number of participating companies Npc* (Npc < Npc*), a process of determining whether the participation recruitment period Pp has elapsed is executed (step S132). If the participation recruitment period Pp has elapsed, it is notified to the proposing company, the participating companies, and the platform that the new system development has not been established. If the participation recruitment period Pp has not elapsed, a process of returning to step S106 is executed. That is, when the number of participating companies Npc is less than the pre-registered required number of participating companies Npc* (Npc < Npc*), the recruitment for participation in the new system development continues until the pre-registered participation recruitment period Pp elapses. Here, the participation recruitment period Pp is pre-input by the proposing company when the proposing company registers the new system development.

[0079] Furthermore, in step S110, if there is no order registration for the new system development, a process is executed to determine whether or not the participation solicitation period Pp has elapsed (step S136), and if the participation solicitation period Pp has elapsed, a process is executed to notify the proposing company, participating companies, and platform provider that the new system development has not been concluded (step S138), and if the participation solicitation period Pp has not elapsed, a process is executed to return to step S106. In other words, if there is no order registration for the new system development, the solicitation of participants and the solicitation of contracts for the new system development will continue until the previously registered participation solicitation period Pp has elapsed.

[0080] <Return cost calculation process> The return cost calculation process is executed at predetermined time intervals after the closed system development information 49 is made public in step S124 of the new system development order placement and receipt process. When the return cost calculation process routine is executed, the server 2, as shown in Fig. 8, first executes a process to determine whether or not a member company has registered to participate in the closed system development (step S200), and if a member company has registered to participate in the closed system development, executes a process to recalculate the shared cost Es and calculate the return cost Er to each existing participating company (step S202), and if no member company has registered to participate in the closed system development, does nothing and ends this processing routine. Here, in this embodiment, the recalculation of the shared cost Es is performed by dividing the total cost "1 / g×Cm+CI+(1-g) / g×CI" obtained by adding the development cost Cd "1 / g×Cm" required for developing a new system, the introduction cost CI required when an additional participating company introduces the closed system, and the platform profit "(1-g) / g×CI" by introducing the closed system to the additional participating company, by the total number of participating companies Npct including the additional participating companies (the sum of the number of existing participating companies Npc and the number of additional participating companies Npca) ({1 / g×Cm+Ci+(1-g) / g×CI} / Npct). In addition, in this embodiment, the return cost Er is calculated by subtracting the recalculated shared cost Es from the initial shared cost Es shared by the participating companies when they participated in the new system development. In other words, the reflux cost Er is calculated as "(1 / g × Cm × 1 / Npc) - {1 / g × Cm + CI + (1 - g) / g × CI} / Npct".

[0081] Then, server 2 notifies the additional participating companies of the recalculated shared cost Es({1 / g×Cm+CI+(1-g) / g×CI} / Npct), and also executes a process of notifying existing participating companies (participating companies that registered to participate from the new system development) and the platform operator of the calculated return cost Er((1 / g×Cm×1 / Npc)-{1 / g×Cm+CI+(1-g) / g×CI} / Npct) (step S204).

[0082] Next, the server 2 executes a process to determine whether or not there is a company introduced by the DX support company among the additional participating companies (step S206). The determination of whether or not there is a company introduced by the DX support company among the additional participating companies can be determined using the "presence or absence of an introducer" included in the participating company information. If there is a company introduced by the DX support company among the additional participating companies, a process to calculate the introduction fee Fr is executed (step S208), and a process to notify the DX support company that is the introducer of the additional participating company of the calculated introduction fee Fr is executed (step S210), and this processing routine is terminated. Here, the total introduction fee Frt is "1 / (1-h) x (1-g) / g x CI" in this embodiment, so the introduction fee Fr paid to each introducing company (DX support company) is "1 / (1-h) x (1-g) / g x CI x 1 / Nic".

[0083] In this way, after the server 2 executes the process of notifying the DX support company that introduced the additional participating company of the introduction fee Fr, or if the server 2 determines in step S206 that there is no company introduced by the DX support company among the participating companies, the server 2 executes a process of updating the recruitment end system development information 49 using the recalculated shared expenses Es and the return expenses Er, etc. (a process of adding and storing the recalculated shared expenses Es and the return expenses Er, etc. to the recruitment end system development information 49) (step S212), executes a process of publishing the updated recruitment end system development information 49 (a process of updating the public information) (step S214), and ends this processing routine. By publishing the updated recruitment end system development information 49 (updating the public information), the member companies can view the updated recruitment end system development information 49, particularly the recalculated shared expenses Es, by executing an application on the member company terminals 6A, 6B, 6C, and 6D to display a predetermined screen. As a result, it is possible to encourage member companies that would like to register to participate in closed system development but are hesitant to do so because of the shared cost Es, to register to participate in closed system development.

[0084] As described above, according to the new project order system 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, a member company can register a new system development and can also register to participate in a new system development registered by another member company, so that the burden of development costs can be kept low compared to when a proposing company develops a new system alone. This can reduce the occurrence of a situation where the realization of a new system development has to be abandoned due to costs. As a result, the number of proposing companies proposing new system development can be increased. In addition, a vendor (a platformer in this embodiment) can register an order for the new system development. That is, since orders can be placed for the registered new system development, the new system development can be realized. Note that, if the new system development is feasible, the share of the development costs required to realize the new system development of each of the participating companies, including the proposing company, is calculated and notified to the proposing company and the participating companies, so that the proposing company and the participating companies can know the share of the costs to be borne by each of them. On the other hand, if the new system development is not feasible, the proposing company and the participating companies are notified, so that the proposing company and the participating companies can know that the new system development is not feasible.

[0085] Furthermore, according to the new project order-taking and placing system 1 of the embodiment of the present invention, when an additional participating company appears in the closed system development, the costs to be borne by the additional participating company are recalculated and notified to the additional participating company, and the costs to be returned to the proposing company and existing participating companies (participating companies that have been participating since the new system development) are calculated in accordance with their shared costs and notified of the returned costs to the proposing company and existing participating companies, so that the additional participating company can know its shared costs for participating in the closed system development and the proposing company and existing participating companies can know the returned costs.

[0086] Furthermore, according to the new project order-taking system 1 of the embodiment of the present invention, when an existing participating company, additional participating company, or vendor is introduced by a DX support company, the introduction fee to be paid to the DX support company is calculated and the DX support company is notified of the introduction fee, so that the DX support company can know the introduction fee it can receive by introducing a company to this system.

[0087] In addition, according to the new planning and ordering system 1 of the embodiment of the present invention, the current shared costs for realizing new system development are made public to member companies, so that member companies who would like to participate in the new system development but are hesitant to do so because of the shared costs can be encouraged to participate in the new system development.

[0088] Furthermore, according to the new project order-taking and ordering system 1 of the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to accept customization requests from participating companies and additional participating companies for new system development, and calculate the shared costs taking into consideration the accepted customization requests, thereby lowering the hurdle for registering to participate in new system development or the development of a system for which recruitment has ended, and enabling appropriate shared costs to be calculated.

[0089] Furthermore, according to the new project order-taking and ordering system 1 of the embodiment of the present invention, the proposing company sets in advance the participation solicitation period Pp and the required number of participating companies Npc* for the new system development, and if the number of participating companies Npc does not reach the required number of participating companies Npc* within the participation solicitation period Pp, it is determined that the new system development is impossible to realize, thereby effectively preventing the new system development from being carried out at a cost higher than the proposed company's desired share of the costs.

[0090] In the embodiment of the present invention, the vendor is only the platformer, but may be composed of multiple vendors. In this case, the server 2 may be configured to calculate the development cost using the contract fee calculated by the platformer and the contract fee calculated by each vendor (note that the platformer and each vendor undertake (contract) different parts in the new system development). Alternatively, the platformer may collect the contract fee calculated by the platformer and the contract fee calculated by each vendor, input it as the contract fee Cm for the new system development using the platformer terminal 4, and the server 2 may calculate the development cost using the contract fee Cm. In addition, when there are multiple vendors and the vendor is introduced by the DX support company, the server 2 may be configured to calculate the introduction fee Fr and notify the DX support company of the introduction fee Fr, as in the case where the participating company is introduced by the DX support company. In this case, for example, a predetermined percentage of the commission fee Cmi calculated by the vendor can be set as the introduction fee Fr.

[0091] In an embodiment of the present invention, when a participating company is referred by a DX support company, the referral fee is calculated based on the ratio (h:(1-h)) of the platform usage fee Fps to the total referral fee Frt, regardless of whether or not there is a request for customization. In addition, a predetermined percentage of the option cost for realizing the customization request can be included in the referral fee Fr.
