[Figure 5] 4 is a functional block diagram showing an example of a functional configuration that functions during value assessment processing, among the functional configurations of the server, user terminal, and value assessor terminal shown in FIG. 3. FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] Before describing an embodiment of the present invention, an overview of a service (hereinafter referred to as "this service") to which an embodiment of the information processing system of the present invention is applied will be first described with reference to FIGS.

[0011] Startup companies and venture businesses often find it difficult to pay their employees (hereinafter referred to as "User U") sufficient compensation through salary. To address this, they sometimes use incentive plans (hereinafter referred to as "I Plans") that grant employees the right to acquire shares of the issuing company at a predetermined price. According to this system, employees can exercise their rights after the period from the grant date to the vesting date (hereinafter referred to as the "vesting period") has ended, i.e., acquire the shares at the aforementioned "predetermined price (hereinafter referred to as the "exercise price")." Employees can then transfer the acquired shares on the market at the stock price (transfer price) at that time. This allows employees to receive cash from the difference between the exercise price and the transfer price, depending on the timing of the transfer.

[0012] In other words, in the past, employees were unable to exercise this right during the vesting period and did not receive sufficient compensation, so they were hesitant to work for start-up companies or venture companies, and even if they did find work, they were concerned about unstable treatment. In other words, it has been difficult for start-up companies and venture businesses to secure talented personnel simply by using such systems.

[0013] Therefore, the service shown in Figures 1 and 2 is provided to support start-up companies, venture companies, etc. in appropriately securing talented personnel, and to support such talented personnel in finding employment at start-up companies, venture companies, etc. and working with peace of mind.

[0014] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an outline of the present service to which an embodiment of the information processing system of the present invention is applied.

[0015] In step SS1, a company introducing the I Plan (hereinafter referred to as "Company C") grants the I Plan to user U as compensation for future contributions to the company. Company C then sets a vesting period during which User U is expected to make a certain contribution to the company.

[0016] User U is, for example, an employee of Company C, who is granted an I Plan by Company C. However, as mentioned above, the granted I Plan has a vesting period, so even if User U needs money during this vesting period, User U cannot exercise or transfer the I Plan during this period.

[0017] Therefore, in step SS2, the user U operates the user terminal 2 to set a new right with the I plan as the underlying asset during the vesting period of the I plan. Specifically, user U establishes a new call option (hereinafter referred to as "right P") with I Plan as the underlying asset. In other words, right P means "the right to purchase I Plan at a certain price."

[0018] In step SS3, the user U operates the user terminal 2 to request the service provider G to transfer the right P. In this example, the description is given assuming that the user U transmits a transfer request to the service provider G, but is not limited to this. For example, the service provider G may transmit a request to the user U to purchase the right P.

[0019] The service provider G is an individual or organization that acquires the right P from the user U and pays the user U money in return. That is, the service provider G accepts the transfer request for the right P sent from the user in step SS3. Then, the service provider G and the user U execute operations to determine the price for the transfer of the right P in the following steps SS4 to SS8.

[0020] In step SS4, the user U operates the user terminal 2 to transmit the right information of the right P to the service provider G. That is, the service provider G acquires the right information of the right P from the user U. Here, the right information of the right P includes, for example, the desired price for the transfer of the right P, information on the I plan, and the like.

[0021] In step SS5, the service provider G requests the value evaluator E to evaluate the value of the right P.

[0022] Here, the value evaluator E is an individual or organization that evaluates the value of right P based on a request from service provider G, and is independent of service provider G. Since the value evaluator E calculates the value of right P from a position independent of service provider G, the reliability of the evaluation result of right P calculated by the value evaluator E can be ensured. For example, valuer E evaluates the value of right P in a predetermined manner based on information such as the remaining time of the vesting period, the predicted stock price after the I plan's right determination date, the performance of company C, market trends, etc.

[0023] In step SS6, when the value assessment of the right P is completed, the value assessor E transmits the result (hereinafter referred to as the "value assessment result") to the service provider G. That is, the service provider G obtains the value evaluation result of the right P via the server 1.

[0024] The value of the right P may be expressed in any form. For example, it may be expressed as the "price per share" of the underlying asset, the shares covered by the I Plan, or it may be expressed as the "current achievement rate of the highest expected future share price of the shares covered by the I Plan."

[0025] In step SS7, the service provider G transmits the value evaluation result of the right P to the user U via the server 1. This allows the user U to understand the objective value of the right P that he or she has set. In step SS7, the service provider G and the user U each carry out a transaction regarding the transfer of the right P by operating the server 1 and the user terminal 2, respectively, based on the value evaluation result. Specifically, for example, the service provider G receives from the user U, via the server 1, desired conditions for the transfer of the right P and a decision as to whether or not to transfer the right P. In addition, the user U receives answers and suggestions from the service provider G via the user terminal 2. If a transaction between the user U and the service provider G is concluded here, the process proceeds to step SS8.

[0026] In step SS8, the right P is transferred based on the transaction conditions established between the user U and the service provider G. Specifically, for example, procedures for concluding a transfer contract and procedures for payment are carried out.

[0027] By executing the series of processes from steps SS1 to SS8, the user U can transfer the right P, which has been valued at a certain value by the valuer E, to the service provider G at a fair price, even during the vesting period of the I plan. As a result, the user U can receive a reasonable amount of money.

[0028] Next, this service will be explained in more detail using the example of FIG. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an outline of the present service to which an embodiment of the information processing system of the present invention is applied, and is a diagram showing the explanation of FIG. 1 in chronological order.

[0029] In FIG. 2, the horizontal axis represents time. At time t1, user U acquires an I plan from company C. In this example, the vesting period for Plan I is set from time t1 to time t5. For the sake of convenience, time t5 is assumed to be an arbitrary record date set by Company C, but it may also be, for example, the planned date of an IPO.

[0030] At time t2, a user U who wishes to obtain money based on the I-Plan establishes a new right P with the I-Plan as the underlying asset.

[0031] Then, at time t3, the user U requests the service provider G to transfer the right P. When transferring the right P, the service provider G requests a value evaluator E to evaluate the value of the right P in order to grasp the current value of the right P. The value assessor E assesses the value of the right P and transmits the result to the service provider G.

[0032] At time t4, the service provider G and the user U conduct a transaction regarding the transfer of the right P based on the result of the valuation of the right P. Then, the user U receives money from the service provider G as consideration for transferring the right P to the service provider G.

[0033] At time t5, when the vesting period of the I Plan ends, User U exercises the I Plan. That is, User U purchases shares at the exercise price and sells the purchased shares at the market price. The service provider G receives from the user U all or part of the profits obtained by exercising this right. In this example, for convenience of explanation, it has been described that times t2 to t4 are different timings, but this is not limiting, and the processes at times t2 to t4 may be executed at the same timing.

[0034] In this way, when service provider G transfers right P at time t4, it pays user U an amount based on the result of the valuation of right P. Then, at time t5, it receives from user U the amount obtained by exercising the I plan rights. Service provider G will obtain the difference between the amount paid and the amount received as profit. However, as mentioned above, when exercising the I Plan, the acquired shares are transferred in the market at the stock price at that time, so it is inevitable that the profits obtained from exercising the I Plan will fluctuate depending on the timing of the transfer. Therefore, in order to minimize the impact of fluctuations in profits obtained from the exercise of the rights under Plan I and to obtain stable profits, when service provider G acquires rights P from user U, it must determine the price of rights P after fully considering the value of rights P. In addition, in order to further reduce risk, the service provider G may conduct transactions with more users U or may receive funding from a sponsor (not shown).

[0035] Here, an example of a formula for calculating the value of the right P will be described. Specifically, for example, the value of the right P can be evaluated by calculating the coefficient (Z) using the following coefficients (a) to (g). Note that the following description is merely an example, and the method for evaluating the value of the right P is not limited to this method. Coefficient (a): Expected stock price. Coefficient (b): The number of shares owned by user U. Coefficient (c): Probability of going public or undergoing M&A. Coefficient (d): Time discounting. Coefficient (e): Expected investment return. Coefficient (f): Distribution rate. Coefficient (g): Adjustment coefficient. Coefficient (Z): The amount that user U can earn.

[0036] The coefficient (a) will be explained in detail below. Here, the expected stock price is the price obtained by subtracting the price at which the service provider G purchases from the user U from the stock price (current price) expected to be at the time the option can be exercised. Here, the price at which the service provider G purchases from the user U is not particularly limited. For example, the price at which the service provider G purchases from the user U may be 80% of the exercise price.

[0037] The coefficient (b) will be explained in detail below. Here, if all rights of the I plan are exercised, the content granted to user U is equivalent to 1,000 shares. Based on this, the number of shares owned by user U is the number of shares that user U wishes to sell. For example, if user U exercises all of the rights under the I plan, which is equivalent to 1,000 shares, he or she will sell 300 of those shares. In this case, 300 shares will be the number of shares owned by user U.

[0038] The coefficient (c) will be explained in detail below. The probability of being listed or acquired through M&A is the probability that, if Company C is not listed, it will be listed and its shares will be traded on a stock exchange, or that Plan I owned by User U will disappear due to M&A. There are no particular restrictions on the method for calculating the probability of Company C being listed or acquired through M&A. For example, Service Provider G may conduct a corporate valuation and calculate the probability of Company C being listed or acquired through M&A based on this valuation. Alternatively, a unique calculation method may be used by a third-party valuation agency, including Service Provider G.

[0039] The coefficient (d) will be explained in detail below. If Company C is not yet listed, the discount based on the time until it goes public or is acquired through an M&A transaction can be considered. Specifically, the discount can be calculated as follows: if Company C goes public or is acquired through an M&A transaction within six months of the I Plan being granted, the discount is set to 1 (no discount), and then reduced by 0.1 every three months. For example, if the I Plan is granted within one year, the discount is 0.8; if the I Plan is granted within one year and six months, the discount is 0.6. The basis for this discount is not particularly limited. The time discount can also be calculated from any specific point in time. For example, it can be calculated from the point in time when Service Provider G performs the valuation or from the point in time when the I Plan is granted. Furthermore, although the above-mentioned discount based on the time is reduced by 0.1 every three months, this is merely an example. For example, the discount could be reduced by 0.1 every two months or by 0.05 every three months.

[0040] The coefficient (e) will be explained in detail below. This coefficient (e) is based on the assumption that the service provider G receives investment as a fund from a sponsor (not shown). The investment yield is the average annual rate of profit on the amount invested by the sponsor in service provider G. In other words, by averaging the profits earned by service provider G from managing the I Plan per year, the sponsor can earn an investment yield based on the assistance funds it provided. The expected return refers to the investment return that is expected based on the past performance of the fund.

[0041] The coefficient (f) will be explained in detail below. Specifically, the distribution rate is, for example, the amount of distribution to the sponsor from the profits obtained by the management of the above-mentioned fund, converted into an annual yield on the principal.

[0042] The coefficient (g) will be explained in detail below. The adjustment factor is a discount rate that is determined taking other factors into consideration. Here, other circumstances may take into consideration all sorts of circumstances such as the financial situation of the company etc. C, market conditions, laws, etc. Furthermore, other circumstances may also include personal circumstances of the user U, such as when they would like to sell, and circumstances of the sponsor or service provider G.

[0043] The coefficient (Z) will be explained in detail. The amount that user U can obtain is the amount that user U can obtain by selling the I plan, calculated using the above coefficients (a) to (g).

[0044] Using the above coefficients (a) to (g), we will explain the valuation when a fund is not formed and when a fund is formed.

[0045] In an example where a fund is not formed, the amount of money that user U receives as a value assessment is expressed as follows: coefficient (Z) is as shown in the following formula (1). Coefficient(Z) = Coefficient(a) × Coefficient(b) × Coefficient(c) × Coefficient(d) × Coefficient(g) ···(1)

[0046] In an example of a case where a fund is formed, the amount of money that the user U receives as a value assessment is expressed as the coefficient (Z) in the following formula (1). Coefficient(Z) = Coefficient(a) × Coefficient(b) × Coefficient(c) × Coefficient(d) × (1 + Coefficient(e)) × (1 - Coefficient(f)) × Coefficient(g) ···(2)

[0047] Here, a specific example will be described in which a user U wishes to sell rights P, which he owns and which are equivalent to 2 million shares, to a service provider G. Specifically, for example, if the expected stock price is 100 yen, coefficient (a) will be 100. If the number of shares owned by user U is 2 million, coefficient (b) will be 2,000,000. If the probability of going public or being acquired through M&A is 40%, coefficient (c) will be 0.4. If, as a time discount, it is two years until going public or being acquired through M&A, coefficient (d) will be 0.4. If the expected investment yield is 6%, coefficient (e) will be 1.06. If the distribution rate to sponsor F is 0.4, coefficient (f) will be 0.96. If the adjustment coefficient is 0.9, coefficient (g) will be 0.9.

[0048] In the case where no fund is formed, the service calculates the coefficient (Z) using formula (1). Then, the coefficient (Z) = 100 x 2,000,000 x 0.4 x 0.4 x 0.9, and the amount that user U can receive is 28,800,000 yen.

[0049] As an example of when a fund is formed, this service calculates the coefficient (Z) using formula (2). Therefore, the coefficient (Z) = 100 x 2,000,000 x 0.4 x 0.4 x 1.06 x 0.96 x 0.9, and the amount that user U can receive is 29,306,880 yen.

[0050] Using the above-mentioned method as an example, value evaluator E performs a value evaluation of right P. This allows the value of right P to be accurately determined, so user U can safely transfer right P to service provider G. This also allows service provider G to reduce the risk of loss and obtain stable profits.

[0051] Next, the configuration of an information processing system that realizes the provision of the above-described service, that is, an information processing system including a server 1 according to an embodiment of the information processing device of the present invention, will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the configuration of an information processing system to which the present service of FIG. 1 is applied, that is, an information processing system including a server according to an embodiment of the information processing device of the present invention.

[0052] The information processing system shown in FIG. 3 is configured to include a server 1, a user terminal 2, and a value assessor terminal 3. Furthermore, the server 1, the user terminal 2, and the value assessor terminal 3 are connected to each other via a predetermined network N such as the Internet.

[0053] The server 1 is managed by the service provider G, and executes various processes including valuing the right P to realize the service and transactions with the user U. In this manner, in this embodiment, the server 1 exchanges various information with the user terminal 2 and the value evaluator terminal 3.

[0054] The user terminal 2 is operated by a user U and is configured, for example, as a personal computer, a smartphone, a tablet, or the like. The user terminal 2, for example, sets the right P and transmits a request for transfer of the right P to the service provider G. In addition, when evaluating the value of the right P, an operation for transmitting information related to the right to the server 1 is executed in the user terminal 2.

[0055] The value assessor terminal 3 is managed by the value assessor E, and is configured, for example, by a personal computer, a smartphone, a tablet, or the like.

[0056] Next, an example of the hardware configuration of the server 1 that constitutes the above-described information processing system will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing an example of a hardware configuration of a server in the information processing system shown in FIG.

[0057] The server 1 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 11, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 12, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 13, a bus 14, an input / output interface 15, an input unit 16, an output unit 17, a memory unit 18, a communication unit 19, and a drive 20.

[0058] The CPU 11 executes various processes according to a program recorded in the ROM 12 or a program loaded from the storage unit 18 into the RAM 13 . The RAM 13 also stores data and the like necessary for the CPU 11 to execute various processes.

[0059] The CPU 11, ROM 12, and RAM 13 are connected to one another via a bus 14. An input / output interface 15 is also connected to this bus 14. An input unit 16, an output unit 17, a storage unit 18, a communication unit 19, and a drive 20 are connected to the input / output interface 15.

[0060] The input unit 16 is configured by, for example, a keyboard, and various information is input thereto. The output unit 17 is composed of a display such as a liquid crystal display, a speaker, and the like. The storage unit 18 is configured with a DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) or the like, and stores various data. The communication unit 19 communicates with other devices (for example, the user terminal 2 and value evaluator terminal 3 in FIG. 3) via a network N including the Internet.

[0061] Removable media 30, such as a magnetic disk, optical disk, magneto-optical disk, or semiconductor memory, is appropriately attached to the drive 20. Programs read from the removable media 30 by the drive 20 are installed in the storage unit 18 as necessary. Furthermore, the removable medium 30 can also store various data stored in the storage unit 18 in the same manner as the storage unit 18.

[0062] Although not shown, the user terminal 2 and the value evaluator terminal 3 in Fig. 3 can have basically the same hardware configuration as that shown in Fig. 4. Therefore, a description of the configurations of the user terminal 2 and the value evaluator terminal 3 will be omitted.

[0063] Next, with reference to FIG. 5, the functional configuration of the server 1, the user terminal 2, and the value evaluator terminal 3 having the hardware configuration shown in FIG. 4 will be described. FIG. 5 is a functional block diagram illustrating an example of the functional configuration of the server in the information processing system of FIG. In the CPU 11 of the server 1, a transfer request receiving unit 51, a rights information obtaining unit 52, a value evaluation requesting unit 53, an evaluation result obtaining unit 54, a trading unit 55, and a confirmation condition transmission control unit 56 function. A rights information DB 100 is provided in one area of ​​the storage unit 18. In the CPU 21 of the user terminal 2, a call option setting unit 61 and a transfer request transmission control unit 62 function. In the CPU 31 of the value evaluator terminal 3, a value evaluation receiving unit 71, a value evaluation unit 72, and an evaluation result transmission control unit 73 function. The value evaluation unit 72 includes a price calculation unit 81 , a time calculation unit 82 , a probability calculation unit 83 , an investment yield calculation unit 84 , a distribution rate calculation unit 85 , and an adjustment coefficient calculation unit 86 .

[0064] The call option setting unit 61 of the user terminal 2 sets the right P based on the I plan. In this example, the call option setting unit 61 has been described as being provided in the user terminal 2, but this is not limiting. The call option setting unit 61 may be provided in the server 1, and the process related to setting the right P may be executed in the server 1.

[0065] The transfer request transmission control unit 62 of the user terminal 2 executes control to transmit information regarding a transfer request for the right P to the server 1. That is, the transfer request receiving unit 51 of the server 1 receives a transfer request for the right P via the user terminal 2.

[0066] Then, the right information acquisition unit 52 of the server 1 acquires the right information of the right P via the user terminal 2. Specifically, for example, the right information acquisition unit 52 may acquire the right information of the right P, which may include the compensation desired by the user U, information about the I plan that is the underlying asset of the right P, information about the handling of money obtained by exercising the I plan, and the like. At this time, the right information of the right P may be transmitted to the server 1 at the same timing as the transfer request, or may be transmitted at a different timing from the transfer request. The rights information acquisition unit 52 stores the rights information of the right P in the rights information DB 100.

[0067] The value assessment request unit 53 of the server 1 requests the value assessor terminal 3 for a value assessment. That is, the value assessment receiving unit 71 of the value assessor terminal 3 receives a value assessment request from the server 1 via the communication unit 39 . In this way, the value of right P is evaluated by value evaluator E, a third party independent of service provider G, so user U who wishes to transfer right P and service provider G can safely entrust the evaluation of right P to value evaluator E.

[0068] The value assessor unit 72 of the value assessor terminal 3 assesses the value of the right P using the predetermined method described above. Specifically, for example, the value assessment unit 72 performs a value assessment of the I plan using the coefficients (a) to (g) in the price calculation unit 81 to the adjustment coefficient calculation unit 86 included in the value assessment unit 72.

[0069] The price calculation unit 81 uses the predicted stock price (coefficient (a)) and the number of shares owned by user U (coefficient (b)) to calculate a price by multiplying the predicted stock price by the number of shares owned by user U. Specifically, for example, information regarding the exercise price of the I plan and the number of I plans owned by user U are extracted from the acquired rights information, and the price is calculated.

[0070] The probability calculation unit 83 calculates the probability of a coefficient (c) being listed or acquired by M&A. Specifically, for example, the probability calculation unit 83 acquires information necessary for calculating the probability of being listed or acquired through M&A from the acquired rights information. Then, the probability calculation unit 83 evaluates the corporate value of the company C, and calculates the probability of being listed or acquired through M&A based on this evaluation.

[0071] The time calculation unit 82 calculates the discount of the time of the coefficient (d). Specifically, for example, the time calculation unit 82 acquires from the acquired rights information information necessary for calculating the discount based on the time until listing or M&A, such as information regarding the time when the I Plan was granted. Then, the time calculation unit 82 calculates the discount of time by discounting the time every three months (0.1) starting from the time when the I Plan was granted (1).

[0072] The investment yield calculation unit 84 calculates the expected investment yield of the coefficient (e). Specifically, for example, the investment yield calculation unit 84 acquires, from the acquired rights information, information necessary for calculating the expected investment yield, for example. That is, the investment yield calculation unit 84 extracts information necessary for calculating the investment yield, such as the exercise price and the number of I plans, from the acquired right information, and calculates the investment yield.

[0073] The distribution rate calculation unit 85 calculates the distribution rate of the coefficient (f). Specifically, for example, the distribution rate calculation unit 85 calculates the distribution rate by converting the amount of distribution to the sponsor F from the profits obtained by managing the fund into an annual yield on the principal.

[0074] The adjustment coefficient calculation unit 86 calculates the adjustment coefficient for the coefficient (g). Specifically, for example, the adjustment coefficient calculation unit 86 acquires information necessary for calculating the adjustment coefficient from the acquired rights information, and then calculates the adjustment coefficient from the necessary information. Here, the necessary information refers to the information required to calculate the adjustment coefficient, and may include various information such as the financial situation and management status of company C, as well as information on the market, laws, and global situations.

[0075] The evaluation result transmission control unit 73 executes control to transmit the calculated evaluation result as a value evaluation result to the server 1 via the communication unit 39. Here, the value assessment result is information relating to the results of carrying out the value assessment of the right P. The value assessment result may also include information relating to the assessment method used when assessing the right P. When presented with the value assessment result, user U can confirm the criteria by which right P was assessed and the current value of right P. Therefore, user U can transfer right P at a fair price based on the value assessment result.

[0076] The evaluation result acquisition unit 54 of the server 1 acquires the result of the evaluation of the value of the right P from the value evaluator terminal 3 via the communication unit 19 . This allows the service provider G to understand the value of the right P.

[0077] The transaction unit 55 of the server 1 presents the result of the evaluation of the value of the right P to the user U, and executes a process of supporting the procedure for transferring the right P between the user U and the service provider G. Specifically, the trading unit 55 executes various transactions based on information regarding the value of the right P, the transfer rate, the transfer date, the contract details, etc. This enables the user U and the service provider G to efficiently proceed with transfer negotiations regarding the right P.

[0078] The confirmed condition transmission control unit 56 of the server 1 executes control to confirm the transaction conditions and send the results to the user U when the transaction between the user U and the service provider G executed by the transaction unit 55 reaches a predetermined condition.

[0079] To summarize the above, user U, who has been granted I Plan, establishes a new right P with I Plan as the underlying asset during the transfer restriction period (vesting period). Then, based on the value assessment of right P made by valuer E, user U executes a transfer transaction with service provider G. This allows user U to obtain money through the transfer of right P. In this way, user U will be able to earn money even during the vesting period (transfer restriction period) of plan I, allowing him or her to work at company C with peace of mind. Furthermore, company C, etc. that employs user U, will be able to have user U work with peace of mind, and will be able to appropriately secure talented personnel.

[0080] Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and modifications, improvements, etc. within the scope of achieving the object of the present invention are included in the present invention.

[0081] In the above embodiment, the present service has been described assuming a pair of stock acquisition rights with transfer restrictions, but is not limited to this. In other words, the present service may be applied to any I plan.

[0082] Furthermore, for example, in the above-described embodiment, an example of a method for evaluating the value of the right P has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. The above-described evaluation method is merely an example, and the value of the right P may be evaluated by a method other than the described method.

[0083] Also, for example, in the above embodiment, it has been described that the service provider G requests the value assessor E to evaluate the value of the right P, but this is not particularly limited. In other words, the service provider G may itself evaluate the value of the right P.

[0084] Also, for example, in the above embodiment, it has been described that the service provider G requests the value evaluator E to evaluate the value of the right P, but this is not particularly limited. That is, the user U may directly request the value evaluator E to evaluate the value of the right P. Since the user U can directly communicate with the value evaluator E without going through the service provider G, the user U can more carefully consider whether or not to transfer the right P.

[0085] For example, the information processing device may match a service provider G with a user U who has a right P that meets the conditions desired by the service provider G based on the right information of one or more users U and their value assessment results.

[0086] Furthermore, for example, the above-described series of processes can be executed by hardware or software. In other words, the functional configuration of FIG. 5 is merely an example and is not particularly limited. That is, it is sufficient if the information processing system is provided with a function that can execute the above-described series of processes as a whole, and the type of functional block used to realize this function is not particularly limited to the example of Figure 5. Furthermore, the location of the functional block is not particularly limited to that of Figure 5 and may be arbitrary. For example, the functional block of the server 1 may be transferred to the user terminal 2, the value evaluator terminal 3, etc. Conversely, the functional block of the user terminal 2, the value evaluator terminal 3, etc. may be transferred to the server 1, etc. Furthermore, one functional block may be configured as a single piece of hardware, a single piece of software, or a combination thereof.

[0087] When a series of processes is executed by software, the programs that make up the software are installed into a computer or the like from a network or a recording medium. The computer may be a computer built on dedicated hardware. The computer may also be a computer capable of executing various functions by installing various programs, such as a server, a general-purpose smartphone, or a personal computer.

[0088] The recording medium containing such a program may be composed not only of a removable medium (not shown) that is distributed separately from the device main body in order to provide the program to the user U, etc., but also of a recording medium that is provided to the user U, etc. in a state that it is pre-installed in the device main body.

[0089] In this specification, the steps describing the program to be recorded on the recording medium include not only processes that are performed in chronological order, but also processes that are not necessarily performed in chronological order but are performed in parallel or individually. In addition, in this specification, the term "system" refers to an overall device that is made up of a plurality of devices, a plurality of means, etc.

[0090] In other words, the information processing system to which the present invention is applied is sufficient as long as it has the following configuration, and can take on a variety of different embodiments. That is, A user (e.g., user U in FIG. 1) has a first option (e.g., I Plan) to transfer the transfer target (e.g., stock) at a certain value (e.g., strike price) at the transferable time (e.g., time t5 in FIG. 2). An information processing system used when transferring a second option (e.g., right P) with the first option as an underlying asset during a transfer restriction period of the first option (e.g., between times t1 and t5 in FIG. 2), a value assessment means (for example, the value assessment unit 72 of FIG. 5) for predicting and assessing the value of the second option during the transfer restriction period of the first option; a transaction control means (e.g., the trading unit 55 in FIG. 5) that controls a process related to the transfer of the second option between the user and a transfer partner (e.g., the service provider G in FIG. 1) based on the predicted and evaluated value; Equipped with.

[0091] Moreover, the first option (for example, I Plan) grants the right to purchase stocks at a certain price at the transferable time (for example, time t5 in FIG. 2).

[0092] This allows User U to earn money by transferring Rights P, which has I Plan as its underlying asset, even during the transfer restriction period of I Plan. Furthermore, the amount of consideration for the transfer can be determined appropriately based on the value of Rights P at that time, so User U can transfer Rights P with peace of mind. Thus, according to the present invention, user U can obtain a reasonable amount of money when needed based on the I plan provided to him / her, and can therefore feel secure in finding employment at a company C that has introduced the I plan. As a result, company C can also appropriately secure talented personnel. [Explanation of symbols]
