Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a corporate information management device and a corporate information management method.

Background Art

[0002] In recent years, not only enterprises but also business entities in general are increasingly required to achieve both resilience and improved management efficiency. In this regard, one possible solution is to build an open supply chain starting from the customer. Also, socially, there is an increasing demand to fulfill social responsibilities from the perspective of ESG (Environment, Social, Governance), so there is also a growing need to build a supply chain that includes ESG in the evaluation target.

[0003] In addition, from the perspective of a computer system, a supply chain provides a system or device that serves as a basis for building a supply chain in which at least two or more business entities participate from material procurement to sales of products. In a supply chain system, it is assumed that the participating business entities (also referred to as suppliers) and the business entities that use the supply chain (also referred to as buyers) are dynamically linked.

[0004] In such a supply chain, it is important for a buyer to discover, evaluate, and continuously conduct safe transactions with suppliers that meet requirements such as ESG. This is because the entire supply chain, including N-tier suppliers, is subject to a trust evaluation in the market.

[0005] An information input device that communicates with a first information terminal used by a first user and captures first predetermined information provided by the first user from the first information terminal, wherein when the information input device captures the first predetermined information from the first information terminal, it communicates interactively and in real time with the first information terminal to enhance the reliability of the first predetermined information provided by the first user, and is characterized by comprising a reliability improvement unit.

For the enterprise information management device 100 to "display" the display information, it may be that the display information is displayed on a display device of the computer, or it may be that the computer transmits the display information to a display computer. In the latter case, the display information is displayed by the display computer. Hereinafter, each embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0027] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration example of an enterprise information management device. The enterprise information management device 100 can be connected to and communicate with a network such as the Internet (not shown). The network is, for example, any one of a communication network using a part or all of a general public line such as a LAN (Local Area Network), WAN (Wide Area Network), VPN (Virtual Private Network), Internet, a mobile phone communication network, etc., or a composite network of these. Note that the network may be a wireless communication network such as Wi-Fi (registered trademark) or 5G (Generation).

[0028] The enterprise information management device 100 includes, as a processing unit, an acquisition item reception unit 1000, an information management unit 2000, an enterprise information input reception unit 3000, an enterprise information search display unit 4000, an enterprise evaluation unit 5000, a service recommendation unit 6000, and a billing processing unit 7000. Further, the enterprise information management device 100 includes a storage unit 8000 and an input / output interface unit 9000.

[0029] The storage unit 8000 includes an enterprise information item storage unit 8100, an acquired value storage unit 8200, a needs threshold storage unit 8300, an improvement case storage unit 8400, a reliability evaluation storage unit 8500, and an enterprise information storage unit 8600.

[0030] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a data structure example of the enterprise information item storage unit. The enterprise information item storage unit 8100 has four fields: an item ID 8101, an item 8102, a registered 8103, and a desire score 8104. The enterprise information item storage unit 8100 stores, for each item ID, information indicating whether the information item is an item registered as enterprise information and the degree of desire to handle the item as enterprise information, in association with each other.

[0031] Item ID 8101 is information that distinguishes an information item from other information items. Item 8102 is information that specifies the name of the information item specified by Item ID 8101. Registered 8103 is flag information indicating whether the information item specified by Item ID 8101 is registered as corporate information. Desire Score 8104 is a predetermined index value indicating the degree of desire to handle the information item specified by Item ID 8101 as corporate information. Specifically, the index value indicating the degree of desire is the number of times the desire was expressed. However, it is not limited to this, and the index value indicating the degree of desire may be an index value that becomes a high value when, for example, it is intensively desired in a short period according to a predetermined standard.

[0032] Figure 3 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of the acquisition value storage unit. The acquisition value storage unit 8200 has five fields: acquirer 8201, acquisition item 8202, target company 8203, acquisition date and time 8204, and acquisition success or failure 8205. The acquisition value storage unit 8200 stores, in association with each acquirer of corporate information, history information regarding the acquisition of information.

[0033] The acquirer 8201 is information that identifies the acquirer of corporate information. The acquisition item 8202 is information that specifies the information item acquired in the history of the acquirer 8201 acquiring corporate information. The target company 8203 is information that specifies the target company acquired in the history of the acquirer 8201 acquiring corporate information. The acquisition date and time 8204 is information that specifies the date and time of acquisition in the history of the acquirer 8201 acquiring corporate information. The acquisition success or failure 8205 is information indicating whether the information of the acquisition item 8202 could be acquired in the history of the acquirer 8201 acquiring corporate information. Note that the case where information could not be acquired refers to the case where the information was empty information.

[0034] The needs threshold storage unit 8300 stores the threshold information of the desire score 8104 of the corporate information item storage unit 8100. Information items whose thresholds stored in the needs threshold storage unit 8300 are exceeded by the desire score are registered as corporate information.

[0035] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of the improvement case storage unit. The improvement case storage unit 8400 has eight fields: an index 8401, an item 8402, a service ID 8403, a service name 8404, a usage date 8405, a using company 8406, before implementation 8407, and after implementation 8408. That is, the improvement case storage unit 8400 stores, for each index, cases in which the index has been improved.

[0036] The index 8401 is information for specifying an index for evaluating the reliability of a company. The item 8402 is information for specifying an information item of company information. The service ID 8403 is information for specifying a service used when the index 8401 is improved. The service name 8404 is the name of the service specified by the service ID 8403. The usage date 8405 is information for specifying the date on which the service specified by the service ID 8403 was used. The using company 8406 is information for specifying the company that improved the index 8401 by using the service specified by the service ID 8403. Before implementation 8407 is the measured value of the item 8402 before using the service specified by the service ID 8403. After implementation 8408 is the measured value of the item 8402 after using the service specified by the service ID 8403.

[0037] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of the reliability evaluation storage unit. The reliability evaluation storage unit 8500 has four fields: a target company 8501, a reliability index 8502, a score 8503, and an improvement point 8504. That is, the reliability evaluation storage unit 8500 stores reliability evaluations and improvement points for each company to be evaluated for reliability.

[0038] The target company 8501 is information for specifying the company to be evaluated for reliability. The reliability index 8502 is information for specifying an index for the trust evaluation of the target company 8501. The score 8503 is information for specifying the evaluation value of the reliability index 8502. The improvement point 8504 is information for specifying the improvement point of the reliability index 8502.

[0039] FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of the enterprise information storage unit. The enterprise information storage unit 8600 has four fields: a company name 8601, an item ID 8602, an item 8603, and a value 8604. That is, the enterprise information storage unit 8600 stores, for each enterprise, the value for each information item registered as enterprise information.

[0040] The company name 8601 is information for identifying an enterprise. The item ID 8602 is information for identifying an information item registered as enterprise information. The item 8603 is the item specified by the item ID 8602. The value 8604 is the specific value of the item specified by the item ID 8602.

[0041] Returning to the description of FIG. 1. The acquisition item reception unit 1000 receives a request to acquire an information item about enterprise information. Specifically, the acquisition item reception unit 1000 receives an input of the name of an information item of enterprise information that is the search target when searching for an enterprise, for example, a supplier, from a person searching for enterprise information, for example, a buyer. More specifically, when the search target is the CO2 emissions of a supplier, the acquisition item reception unit 1000 receives a request to acquire an information item such as "CO2 emissions", "carbon dioxide emissions", or "carbon emissions" in free text.

[0042] The information management department 2000 adds information items that have received requests above a predetermined level to the information items of the corporate information. Specifically, if the information items received by the acquisition item reception unit 1000 are information items not stored in the corporate information item storage unit 8100, the information management department 2000 stores the information items in the corporate information item storage unit 8100. Then, the information management department 2000 calculates a demand score as an index value indicating the degree of demand for the information items stored in the corporate information item storage unit 8100. For example, the information management department 2000 counts the number of times a request has been made and uses it as the demand score. However, it is not limited to this, and the information management department 2000 may calculate the demand score so that it becomes a high value when, for example, requests are concentrated in a short period according to a predetermined standard. Then, the information management department 2000 stores the calculated demand score in the demand score 8104 of the corporate information item storage unit 8100. In addition, the information management department 2000 registers information items whose demand score 8104 in the corporate information item storage unit 8100 exceeds the threshold value stored in the needs threshold storage unit 8300 as information items of the corporate information. Specifically, the information management department 2000 sets the registered 8103 in the corporate information item storage unit 8100 to "True".

[0043] The corporate information input reception unit 3000 prompts the input of the information items to enterprises in which the information items of the corporate information have not been input and receives the input. Specifically, the corporate information input reception unit 3000 identifies the items in which the registered 8103 in the corporate information item storage unit 8100 is set to "True" as the information items of the corporate information. Then, for each enterprise stored in the enterprise name 8601 of the corporate information storage unit 8600, the corporate information input reception unit 3000 sets the information item as the item ID 8602 and the item 8603, and prompts the input of the value 8604. For example, the corporate information input reception unit 3000 sends a message prompting input to each enterprise by email or message. Then, the corporate information input reception unit 3000 receives the input of the value of the information item from a predetermined input screen.

[0044] The enterprise information search and display unit 4000 searches for the information items for which requests have been received from the enterprise information to generate display information. Specifically, the enterprise information search and display unit 4000 searches the enterprise information storage unit 8600 for the information items of the enterprise information that the acquisition item reception unit 1000 received as search purposes when searching for an enterprise, for example, a supplier, from a person who searches for enterprise information, for example, a buyer, and generates display information. Then, the enterprise information search and display unit 4000 stores the acquirer, the acquired items, the target enterprise, the acquired values obtained by the search, the acquisition date and time, and the acquisition success or failure in the acquired value storage unit 8200.

[0045] The enterprise evaluation unit 5000 obtains index values related to predetermined indexes for the enterprise using the enterprise information. Specifically, the enterprise evaluation unit 5000 reads the enterprise information for each enterprise stored in the enterprise name 8601 of the enterprise information storage unit 8600, and calculates evaluation indexes such as so-called QCD+F (Quality Q, Cost C, Delivery D, Finance F)+ESG (Environment E, Society S, Governance G) using an existing algorithm. Alternatively, the enterprise evaluation unit 5000 obtains information on the evaluation indexes of QCD+F+ESG by using an external service.

[0046] Then, the enterprise evaluation unit 5000 stores in the reliability evaluation storage unit 8500 the target enterprise, the classification of the reliability evaluation indexes (Q, C, D, F, E, S, G, etc.), the index values, and the improvement points as text information obtained as a result of analyzing the problems. The improvement points as text information obtained as a result of analyzing the problems may be calculated by the enterprise evaluation unit 5000 using an existing algorithm, or the enterprise evaluation unit 5000 may obtain information by using an external service.

[0047] The Service Recommendation Department 6000 identifies indicators among the indicator values that are below a predetermined standard, and recommends the use of a predetermined service related to the improvement of such indicators. Specifically, for each target company, the Service Recommendation Department 6000 compares the score 8503 in the Reliability Evaluation Memory Unit 8500 with a predetermined threshold value to identify the reliability indicator 8502 that is below the threshold value. Then, the Service Recommendation Department 6000 refers to the Improvement Case Memory Unit 8400 to identify records related to the identified indicators that are below the threshold value, and extracts records in which improvement of item 8402 is observed from before implementation 8407 to after implementation 8408. Then, the Service Recommendation Department 6000 identifies the service ID 8403 related to the record and extracts it as the service to be recommended. For example, for the ESG evaluation indicator, the Service Recommendation Department 6000 recommends as the recommended service the service related to the improvement of the value of item 8402 related to the indicator.

[0048] In addition, the Service Recommendation Department 6000 recommends the use of a predetermined service related to identifying the value to be input into an information item for a company whose information item in the company information is not input. Specifically, for each target company, the Service Recommendation Department 6000 identifies the item 8603 for which the value 8604 in the Company Information Memory Unit 8600 is not input. Then, the Service Recommendation Department 6000 refers to the Improvement Case Memory Unit 8400 to identify records related to the identified uninput information item, and extracts records in which improvement of item 8402 is observed from before implementation 8407 to after implementation 8408. Then, the Service Recommendation Department 6000 identifies the service ID 8403 related to the record and extracts it as the service to be recommended. For example, for the CO2 emissions, the Service Recommendation Department 6000 recommends as the recommended service the service related to the improvement of the value of item 8402.

[0049] The Billing Processing Department 7000 accepts applications for the use of services and performs agency processing for collecting the usage fees of such services. In addition, when the value related to the information item added by the Information Management Department 2000 in the Company Information Search and Display Department 4000 is included in the display information, the Billing Processing Department 7000 collects the usage fee of the information from the searcher. In addition, the Billing Processing Department 7000 pays a reward for information provision to the company (supplier) that has input information for the requested information item.

[0050] The input / output interface unit 9000 receives the input of various types of data. Specifically, the input / output interface unit 9000 receives the input of information for searching corporate information from a buyer. Alternatively, the input / output interface unit 9000 receives the input of corporate information from a supplier.

[0051] FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of the corporate information management apparatus. The corporate information management apparatus 100 can be realized by a general computer 900 including a processor (for example, a CPU: Central Processing Unit or a GPU: Graphics Processing Unit) 901, a memory 902 such as a RAM (Random Access Memory), an external storage device 903 such as a hard disk drive (HDD) or a solid state drive (SSD), a reading device 905 that reads information from a portable storage medium 904 such as a CD (Compact Disk) or a DVD (Digital Versatile Disk), an input device 906 such as a keyboard, a mouse, a barcode reader, or a touch panel, an output device 907 such as a display, and a communication device 908 that communicates with other computers via a communication network such as a LAN or the Internet, or a network system including a plurality of such computers 900. Note that the reading device 905 may be capable of not only reading but also writing to the portable storage medium 904.

[0052] The processor 901 executes various processes by executing a predetermined enterprise information management program loaded from the external storage device 903 into the memory 902. The enterprise information management program is, for example, an application program executable on an OS (Operating System) program. The enterprise information management program may be installed in the external storage device 903 from a portable storage medium 904 via a reading device 905, or may be downloaded from a network via a communication device 908 and executed by the processor 901.

[0053] For example, the acquisition item reception unit 1000, the information management unit 2000, the enterprise information input reception unit 3000, the enterprise information search display unit 4000, the enterprise evaluation unit 5000, the service recommendation unit 6000, and the billing processing unit 7000 can be realized by loading the enterprise information management program stored in the external storage device 903 into the memory 902 and executing it with the processor 901. The input / output interface unit 9000 can be realized by the processor 901 using the input device 906, the output device 907, and the communication device 908. The storage unit 8000 can be realized by the processor 901 using the memory 902 or the external storage device 903.

[0054] FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a flowchart of information providing processing. The information providing processing is started when a start instruction is received from a buyer or the like.

[0055] First, the acquisition item reception unit 1000 receives an information item to be obtained (step S001). Specifically, the acquisition item reception unit 1000 receives the input of the name of the information item of the enterprise information that is the search target when searching for an enterprise, for example, a supplier, from a person who searches for enterprise information, for example, a buyer.

[0056] Then, the Information Management Department 2000 determines whether the received acquisition request information item has been registered as enterprise information (step S002). If it has been registered (in the case of "Yes" in step S002), the Information Management Department 2000 advances the control to step S007.

[0057] If it has not been registered (in the case of "No" in step S002), the Information Management Department 2000 determines whether the received acquisition request information item is an item included in the enterprise information item storage unit 8100 (step S003). If it is an item included in the enterprise information item storage unit 8100 (in the case of "Yes" in step S003), the Information Management Department 2000 advances the control to step S005.

[0058] If it is not an item included in the enterprise information item storage unit 8100 (in the case of "No" in step S003), the Information Management Department 2000 determines whether it can be paraphrased into any of the registered enterprise information items (step S004). Specifically, the Information Management Department 2000 compares the received acquisition request information item with the registered enterprise information items in consideration of synonyms of the received acquisition request information item or variations in notation, and if there is an information item with a likelihood above a predetermined level, it identifies the information item with the highest likelihood. If there is no information item with a likelihood above a predetermined level, the Information Management Department 2000 determines that it cannot be paraphrased into any of the registered enterprise information items. If it can be paraphrased into any of the registered enterprise information items (in the case of "Yes" in step S004), the Information Management Department 2000 advances the control to step S007.

[0059] If it is not possible to paraphrase any of the registered corporate information items (in the case of "No" in step S004), the information management department 2000 adds points to the request score (step S005). Specifically, if the received information item desired for acquisition is not stored in the corporate information item storage unit 8100, the information management department 2000 stores it. Then, the information management department 2000 adds points to the request score 8104 of the corporate information item storage unit 8100 for the received information item desired for acquisition. For example, the information management department 2000 counts the number of times the received information item desired for acquisition has been requested and uses it as the request score. However, this is not limited to this, and the information management department 2000 may calculate the request score so that it becomes a high value according to a predetermined standard, for example, when requested intensively in a short period.

[0060] Then, the information management department 2000 determines whether the request score 8104 of the corporate information item storage unit 8100 exceeds the threshold value stored in the needs threshold storage unit 8300 (step S006). If it exceeds the threshold value (in the case of "Yes" in step S006), the information management department 2000 stores "True" in the registered 8103 of the information item and advances the control to step S007. If it does not exceed the threshold value (in the case of "No" in step S006), the information management department 2000 advances the control to step S008.

[0061] Then, the information management department 2000 adds the information item with the highest likelihood among the received information items desired for acquisition and the registered corporate information identified in step S004, or the information item desired for acquisition received in step S001, to the acquisition target items (step S007).

[0062] Then, the information management department 2000 determines whether the input is completed (step S008). If the input is not completed (in the case of "No" in step S008), the information management department 2000 returns the control to step S001.

[0063] When the input is completed (when "Yes" in step S008), the enterprise information search display unit 4000 collects enterprise information for each of the acquisition target items (step S009). Specifically, the enterprise information search display unit 4000 collects enterprise information for each of the acquisition target items, and stores the acquirer, the acquisition item, the target enterprise, the acquired value obtained by the search, the acquisition date and time, and the acquisition success or failure in the acquired value storage unit 8200.

[0064] Then, the enterprise information input reception unit 3000 prompts the input of the information item for the enterprise in which the information item of the enterprise information is not input and accepts the input (step S010). Specifically, the enterprise information input reception unit 3000 specifies the items for which the registered 8103 in the enterprise information item storage unit 8100 is set to "True" as the information items of the enterprise information. Then, for each enterprise stored in the enterprise name 8601 of the enterprise information storage unit 8600, the enterprise information input reception unit 3000 sets the information item as the item ID 8602 and the item 8603, and prompts the input of the value 8604. For example, the enterprise information input reception unit 3000 sends a message prompting the input to each enterprise by email or message. Then, the enterprise information input reception unit 3000 accepts the input of the value of the information item from a predetermined input screen.

[0065] The above is an example of the flowchart of the information provision process. According to the information provision process, when the searcher of the enterprise information inputs the information item he wants to search, the result of the search for the enterprise information about the item is displayed on the display screen. And even when the information item is not directly included in the enterprise information, if there is an information item that can be paraphrased, the search result of that item is displayed. When the information item cannot be paraphrased into the registered enterprise information, if the item with a desired score higher than a predetermined value, it is newly set as the information item of the enterprise information, and the input of the information item is prompted to the enterprise. That is, when the search demand for information items that are newly attracting much attention is large (for example, when the emissions and usage of new substances other than CO2 emissions are attracting attention as environmental indicators), that item is newly added as enterprise information and becomes the target for each enterprise to input.

[0066] FIG. 9 is an example of a flowchart of improvement support processing. The improvement support processing starts when an input is received from a company in step S010 of the information provision processing. Alternatively, it starts when the company logs in to the company information management device 100.

[0067] First, the company information input reception unit 3000 checks the company information item storage unit 8100 to identify information items for which the registered 8103 is "True" (step S101).

[0068] Then, the company information input reception unit 3000 determines whether there are unentered items among the registered items (step S102). Specifically, the company information input reception unit 3000 searches the company information storage unit 8600 for the company that has entered the information item or the logged-in company, and searches for information items that are registered items and for which the company has not entered or has entered empty information. If a hit is found as a result of the search, the company information input reception unit 3000 determines that there are unentered items among the registered items. If there are unentered items among the registered items (in the case of "Yes" in step S102), the company information input reception unit 3000 advances the control to step S104.

[0069] If there are no unentered items among the registered items (in the case of "No" in step S102), the company evaluation unit 5000 determines whether the reliability evaluation value of the company is below the threshold (step S103). Specifically, the company evaluation unit 5000 reads the company information for each company stored in the company name 8601 of the company information storage unit 8600, and calculates the QCD+F+ESG evaluation indicators using an existing algorithm. Alternatively, the company evaluation unit 5000 obtains information on the QCD+F+ESG evaluation indicators by using an external service.

[0070] Then, the company evaluation unit 5000 stores in the reliability evaluation storage unit 8500 the target company, the separation of the reliability evaluation indicators (Q, C, D, F, E, S, G, etc.), the indicator values, and the improvement points as text information obtained as a result of analyzing the problems.

[0071] Then, the Enterprise Evaluation Department 5000 determines whether there are any indicators below a predetermined threshold for the reliability evaluation indicators of the enterprise. If there are no indicators below the predetermined threshold (in the case of "No" in step S103), the Enterprise Evaluation Department 5000 terminates the improvement support process.

[0072] Then, the Enterprise Evaluation Department 5000 recommends services related to the unmet reliability evaluation indicators or unentered information items (step S104). Specifically, the Service Recommendation Department 6000 identifies the indicators among the indicator values that are below a predetermined standard, and recommends the use of predetermined services related to the improvement of these indicators. In addition, the Service Recommendation Department 6000 recommends the use of predetermined services related to the values to be entered in the information items of the unentered enterprise information.

[0073] Specifically, for each target enterprise, the Service Recommendation Department 6000 compares the score 8503 in the Reliability Evaluation Memory Department 8500 with a predetermined threshold to identify the reliability indicator 8502 that is below the threshold. Then, the Service Recommendation Department 6000 refers to the Improvement Case Memory Department 8400 to identify the records related to the identified indicators below the threshold, and extracts the records in which improvement of item 8402 can be seen from before implementation 8407 to after implementation 8408. Then, the Service Recommendation Department 6000 identifies the service ID 8403 related to the record and extracts it as the service to be recommended. For example, for the ESG evaluation indicator, the Service Recommendation Department 6000 recommends the service related to the improvement of the value of item 8402 related to the indicator as the recommended service.

[0074] In addition, for each target enterprise, the Service Recommendation Department 6000 identifies the item 8603 for which the value 8604 in the Enterprise Information Memory Department 8600 is not entered. Then, the Service Recommendation Department 6000 refers to the Improvement Case Memory Department 8400 to identify the records related to the identified unentered information item, and extracts the records in which improvement of item 8402 can be seen from before implementation 8407 to after implementation 8408. Then, the Service Recommendation Department 6000 identifies the service ID 8403 related to the record and extracts it as the service to be recommended. For example, for the CO2 emissions, the Service Recommendation Department 6000 recommends the service related to the improvement of the value of item 8402 as the recommended service.

[0075] Then, the corporate evaluation department 5000 provides improvement cases regarding unmet reliability evaluation indicators or unentered information items (step S105). Specifically, the service recommendation department 6000 identifies indicators (for example, any of QCD+F+ESG) among the indicator values that are below a predetermined standard, and presents improvement cases of enterprises with improvements in these indicators. In addition, the service recommendation department 6000 presents improvement cases of enterprises with improvements in the values to be entered in the information items of unentered corporate information.

[0076] Specifically, for each target enterprise, the service recommendation department 6000 compares the score 8503 in the reliability evaluation memory department 8500 with a predetermined threshold value to identify reliability indicators 8502 that are below the threshold value. Then, the service recommendation department 6000 refers to the improvement case memory department 8400, identifies records related to the identified indicators below the threshold value, and extracts records in which improvement in item 8402 is observed from before implementation 8407 to after implementation 8408. Then, the service recommendation department 6000 identifies records in which the service ID 8403 is blank among the said records, and extracts them as improvement cases. For example, the service recommendation department 6000 provides cases related to the improvement of the value of item 8402 for the ESG evaluation indicator.

[0077] In addition, for each target enterprise, the service recommendation department 6000 identifies items 8603 in which the value 8604 in the corporate information memory department 8600 is unentered. Then, the service recommendation department 6000 refers to the improvement case memory department 8400, identifies records related to the identified unentered information items, and extracts records in which improvement in item 8402 is observed from before implementation 8407 to after implementation 8408. Then, the service recommendation department 6000 identifies records in which the service ID 8403 is blank among the said records, and extracts them as improvement cases. For example, the service recommendation department 6000 provides cases related to the improvement of the value of item 8402 for CO2 emissions.

[0078] Then, the service recommendation unit 6000 determines whether there is a desire for detailed information on the recommended service or improvement case (step S106). Specifically, the service recommendation unit 6000 determines that there is a desire for detailed information if there is an event to obtain detailed information (for example, a mouse click or a touch input on the touch panel) for the recommended service or improvement case. If there is no desire for detailed information (in the case of "No" in step S106), the service recommendation unit 6000 terminates the improvement support process.

[0079] If there is a desire for detailed information (in the case of "Yes" in step S106), the service recommendation unit 6000 displays the website that explains the details of the service in the case of a service, or the contact information of the target company in the case of a case (step S107).

[0080] The above is an example of the flowchart of the improvement support process. According to the improvement support process, a company can automatically know the measurements necessary for improving the reliability index value or disclosing information items, and can easily access the services and cases for such improvement and measurement. Therefore, the trust value of the company can be improved.

[0081] Note that the billing processing unit 7000 monitors the above information providing process and improvement support process for a predetermined period (for example, one month). When there is an application for using a service, it acts on behalf of collecting the service usage fee. For each search result of the value related to the information item added by the information management unit 2000, it collects the information usage fee from the searcher, and pays a reward for information providing to the company (supplier) that has input information about the information item.

[0082] For example, regarding the information usage fee, the billing processing unit 7000 sets the unit price to m for the registered company information and the unit price to n (with a slope such that m < n) for the information items obtained as a result of requests for unregistered company information, and bills the searcher the amount obtained by multiplying the unit price by the product of the number of searches and the number of target companies.

[0083] For example, the billing processing unit 7000 sets the unit price of publicly available information as p, the unit price of information that was previously limitedly disclosed as paid information as q, and the unit price of information items input according to requests as r (with a gradient such that p < q < r), and pays the information providing company as remuneration the amount obtained by multiplying the unit price by the number of searchers provided.

[0084] FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of an improvement support screen. The improvement support screen 500 is an example of a screen on which improvement support information regarding the company itself of the logged-in account is displayed in step S107 of the improvement support process. The improvement support screen 500 includes a reliability evaluation radar chart display area 510, an index value list display area 520, an improvement service recommendation display area 530, and an improvement case introduction display area 540. In the reliability evaluation radar chart display area 510 and the index value list display area 520, a radar chart and a list using the indexes and their scores stored in the reliability evaluation storage unit 8500 of the target company itself are displayed.

[0085] In addition, in the improvement service recommendation display area 530, each of the services recommended by the service recommendation unit 6000 in step S104 is displayed with an independent hyperlink. The hyperlink is a link to the detailed display web page of the recommended service, and when an input is received, the display switches to the detailed display web page of the recommended service.

[0086] In the improvement case introduction display area 540, each of the improvement cases identified by the service recommendation unit 6000 in step S105 is displayed with an independent hyperlink. The hyperlink is a link to the detailed display web page of the target company of the improvement case, and when an input is received, the display switches to the detailed display web page of the contact information of the target company of the improvement case.
