DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] As an example of this embodiment, the following will explain, with reference to the drawings, how researchers and technology developers are supported in proposing new businesses that are created using the technologies that their companies possess in order to maintain and improve their corporate growth and competitiveness.

[0010] The embodiments described below are preferred examples of the present invention and are therefore subject to various technical limitations. However, the scope of the present invention is not limited to these embodiments unless otherwise specified in the following description.

[0011] (System Configuration) FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an outline of the configuration of a new business proposal support system 1 according to this embodiment.

[0012] As shown in Figure 1, the new business proposal support system 1 in this embodiment (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "this system 1") is basically configured by connecting a new business proposal support device 10 that proposes new businesses using the technology owned by the company, and a proposer terminal 30 used by a proposer of the new business, such as a research and development developer or technology developer, via a network N such as the Internet.

[0013] Here, the present system 1 is assumed to be used in organizations such as companies that run specific businesses and aim to generate profits. Specific examples include organizations that provide products and services, such as in the manufacturing industry and the service industry. This system 1 simplifies the process of creating new businesses, which is a very heavy workload, and allows companies to efficiently propose new business themes and contents that are in demand in society and that are likely to be commercialized within their own company, in the form of proposals prepared in a standard format.

[0014] Specifically, the system 1 is a system that supports a proposer who proposes a business in an organization and includes one or more processors. The processor receives input information about the matter that the proposer wants to handle, generates new business proposal information based on problem information that is a social issue and technical information held by the organization using a generation AI, and outputs the generated new business proposal information. The above will be explained in detail below.

[0015] The new business proposal support device 10 has a processing function and a communication function, and functions as a server in the system 1. In this embodiment, the new business proposal support device 10 is realized by an electronic device such as a personal computer such as a desktop or laptop, a tablet computer, or a smartphone. Therefore, in the following description, the new business proposal support device 10 may be referred to as a "server."

[0016] The proposer terminal 30 is a communication terminal used by a new business proposer, such as a research and development person or technology developer, who uses the present system 1 to propose a new business, and is a device with processing and communication functions. The proposer terminal 30 is connected to the new business proposal support device 10 via a communication network (network N), and is realized by an electronic device such as a desktop or laptop personal computer, a tablet computer, or a smartphone.

[0017] Furthermore, the network N is configured by the Internet, but is not particularly limited thereto, and may be a communication network such as a LAN (Local Area Network) or a WAN (Wide Area Network).The communication lines of the network N may be wired or wireless, or a combination of both may be used.

[0018] In the example of FIG. 1, only one proposer terminal 30 is shown, but the number is not particularly limited. Also, although only one new business proposal support device 10 is shown, the new business proposal support device 10 is not limited to a standalone device, but may also be a distributed server system or cloud server that operates cooperatively by communicating via a network N such as the Internet.

[0019] (Hardware configuration) FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the new business proposal support device 10 according to this embodiment.

[0020] The new business proposal support device 10 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 output unit 16, an input unit 17, a memory unit 18, and a communication unit 19.

[0021] The CPU 11 executes various processes according to programs stored in the ROM 12 or programs loaded from the storage unit 18 to the RAM 13. In other words, the CPU 11 is a processor that executes various processes according to the programs and controls the overall operation of the new business proposal support device 10. The programs are, for example, an operating system or firmware for operating each unit of the new business proposal support device 10, or application software for implementing the functional blocks described below.

[0022] The ROM 12 is a memory that stores various programs executed by the CPU 11. The RAM 13 also stores data and the like necessary for the CPU 11 to execute various processes. The CPU 11, ROM 12, and RAM 13 are interconnected via a bus 14. An input / output interface 15 is also connected to this bus 14. The input / output interface 15 is connected to an output unit 16, an input unit 17, a storage unit 18, and a communication unit 19.

[0023] The output unit 16 is composed of a display, a speaker, etc., and outputs various information as images and sounds. The input unit 17 is composed of a keyboard, mouse, microphone, camera, etc., and inputs various information in response to received instruction operations. Note that the output unit 16 and the input unit 17 may be integrated into one unit using, for example, a touch panel.

[0024] The storage unit 18 stores programs necessary for the new business proposal support device 10 to execute various information processing operations and various data used by those programs, and is configured, for example, by a hard disk or DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory). The communication unit 19 communicates with other devices via a network N including the Internet.

[0025] The new business proposal support device 10 may be provided with a drive to which removable media such as a magnetic disk, optical disk, magneto-optical disk, or semiconductor memory can be appropriately attached. This drive allows a program read from the removable media to be installed in the storage unit 18. Furthermore, the removable media can also store various data stored in the storage unit 18 in the same manner as the storage unit 18.

[0026] The hardware configuration of the proposer terminal 30 of this embodiment is the same as that of the new business proposal support device 10 described above.

[0027] (New business proposal support device 10) FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of the new business proposal support device 10 that functions as a server in this embodiment.

[0028] The new business proposal support device (server) 10 includes a receiving unit 110, a proposing unit 120, a providing unit 130, an output unit 140, and a collecting unit 150. The new business proposal support device 10 also includes a social issue information DB 210 and an in-house technology information DB 220.

[0029] The receiving unit 110 is a means having the function of receiving information about the things that a new business proposer wishes to handle (hereinafter referred to as "intended thing information"; an example of input information). That is, the receiving unit 110 receives intended thing information such as keywords, phrases, and short sentences that express the vague content that the proposer wishes to pursue as their company's new business. This intended thing information refers to content that serves as the starting point for the emergence of a new business, such as "We want to reduce the environmental impact of our company's products," "We want to use X material," or "We want to introduce X system." In this embodiment, for example, if the proposer is a researcher, the receiving unit 110 receives a business draft created by the researcher. In this way, in this system 1, a proposer, such as a researcher, serves as the starting point for creating a new business.

[0030] The receiving unit 110 also has a function of receiving corrections to the proposal in response to the comments. That is, the receiving unit 110 receives corrections to improve the content of the new business proposed by the proposing unit 120 based on the comments provided by the providing unit 130.

[0031] The receiving unit 110 also has a function of receiving questions in response to comments. That is, the receiving unit 110 does not immediately receive corrections to brush up the content of the new business based on the comments provided by the providing unit 130, but rather makes it possible to receive questions about the comments so that the content and intent of the comments can be correctly grasped and understood before that.

[0032] The proposal unit 120 is a means having a function of generating a new business using problem information in various technical fields (hereinafter referred to as "social problem information", an example of problem information) and technical information possessed by the company (hereinafter referred to as "company technical information", an example of technical information) using a generation AI. That is, based on the intended thing information received by the reception unit 110, the proposal unit 120 identifies social problem information related to the intended thing and company technical information related to solving the social problem, and generates a proposal for a new business using these.

[0033] The proposal information for a new business generated by the proposal unit 120 in this embodiment includes each of the following items: the new business theme (title, summary), specific proposal content, market development method, strategic story hypothesis, and business model. In this embodiment, the generation AI is instructed based on prompts to generate each of the above items based on social issue information related to the desired subject and the company's own technology information related to solving the social issue.

[0034] Social issue information refers to information that involves social needs that are desired to be improved or solved in society and are the subject of research and development by other companies. Social issue information refers to information that has economic value that makes people want to pay money to solve it, extracted from development information published or made public in newspaper articles, specialist magazines, the Internet, etc. Examples of social issue information include various websites accessible via the Internet, academic papers, articles and news published in media such as newspapers and television.

[0035] This social issue information is stored in the social issue information DB 210, and may be, for example, information such as that listed in the social issue information list shown in FIG. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a social issue information list used in the new business proposal processing in the new business proposal support device 10. As shown in FIG.

[0036] In Figure 4, this list of social issue information shows social issues in the fields of health, aging society, and healthcare, and associates a "title" with a concise summary of the "issue content." For example, the first social issue listed has the title "Improving the intestinal environment and promoting health," and the issue content is "Due to modern poor eating habits and environmental changes, the balance of the intestinal flora is easily disrupted, creating a challenge in maintaining health."

[0037] The second social issue listed is titled "Improving the efficiency of safety and effectiveness evaluation of cosmetic ingredients," and the issue is "Amid the demand for establishing alternatives to animal testing, efficient and reliable evaluation methods are needed." The third social issue is titled "Promoting amino acid production in the body," and the issue is "It is an important issue to supplement the body's ability to produce amino acids, which declines due to aging and lifestyle-related diseases."

[0038] The fourth social issue listed is titled "Solving the odor problem of fish oil-derived DHA," and the issue is "The challenge is to reduce the fishy odor that prevents the intake of DHA, which is important for maintaining health." Furthermore, the fifth social issue listed is titled "Development of naturally derived functional pigments," and the issue is "Securing a stable supply of raw materials is an issue as the need to switch from chemically synthesized pigments to naturally derived pigments increases." This information on social issues has been collected from information posted and published in newspapers, specialist magazines, and internet sites.

[0039] In addition, the company's own technical information refers to the various technical information that the company has cultivated up to now, and examples include technical information written (published) regardless of the name, such as in-house technical reports, invention proposals, patent publications, and research reports, as well as information including the knowledge and experience associated with technology, known as know-how.

[0040] This company's technical information is stored in the company's technical information DB 220, and may be, for example, information such as that published in the company's proprietary technical information catalog shown in FIG. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a proprietary technology information catalog used in the new business proposal process in the new business proposal support device 10. As shown in FIG.

[0041] The in-house technical information catalog shown in Figure 5 shows comprehensive toxicity assessment and interpretation technologies. For example, the in-house technical information catalog includes an "overview" column, a "field of use (application)" column, a "characteristics" column, a "keywords" column, a "technical explanation" column, and a "available technologies" column.

[0042] Therefore, the new business proposal in this embodiment is not mechanically given, as in the case of a proposal generated simply using social issue information and company technology information, but rather allows for the proposal of a unique new business originating from the new business proposer. In other words, since it is generated using social issue information identified based on the intended thing information and company technology information for solving the social issue, the new business is infused with the proposer's heart (thoughts) in the intended thing information, and is a highly feasible proposal that is fleshed out with social issue information and company technology information based on that thought. Moreover, because it uses company technology information rather than just technical information, it is not a general new business proposal that applies to any company, but a new business proposal that is relevant to the company.

[0043] In this embodiment, the generative AI uses "Amazon Bedrock," a service specialized in generative AI provided by Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS) in the United States. Amazon Bedrock makes it easy to use advanced generative AI functions, and through an API (Application Programming Interface), it is possible to realize text generation, image creation, chatbot construction, and the like.

[0044] The AI ​​chatbot in this embodiment is a program that automatically uses AI to hold natural conversations with the proposer. The AI ​​chatbot is an AI that has been trained to respond to input natural language. The AI ​​chatbot responds to the proposer's questions and requests in a dialogue format using text or voice, supporting the proposer's thinking and providing the proposer with information.

[0045] Furthermore, the generation AI used in this embodiment can use large-scale language models (LLMs). The generation AI is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. A prompt containing an instruction is input to the generation AI, and inference data such as voice data indicating a voice, text data indicating a text, and image data indicating an image is also input. The generation AI performs inference on the input inference data in accordance with the instruction indicated by the prompt, and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference can be exemplified by analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization, for example. In this embodiment, a prompt is input to specifically specify the information desired to be obtained so that the information desired to be output (generated) by the generation AI can be obtained. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the prompt also includes, depending on the conditions, specification of information that will be used as material to generate the desired information. For example, the receiving unit 110, proposing unit 120, providing unit 130, output unit 140, and collecting unit 150 input predetermined prompts based on the acquired information to the components that function as generation AIs so that the information that each component should generate can be obtained.

[0046] Furthermore, the generation AI of this embodiment can refer to organizational information limited to within an organization, such as a large amount of business documents and regulations accumulated in an organization such as a company. Furthermore, the generation AI of this embodiment can also refer to the latest information outside the organization that can be obtained via a network connecting to the outside of the organization. The generation AI of this embodiment can generate information such as text based on organizational information while acquiring the latest information through information searches outside the organization. In other words, RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation), a search augmentation generation technology, can be used as the generation AI.

[0047] Then, the providing unit 130 of this embodiment considers the new business based on predetermined information and provides evaluation information that evaluates the new business. The providing unit 130 of this embodiment evaluates a new business based on specific information regarding the feasibility of the business in the organization, and provides the evaluated evaluation information. That is, the providing unit 130 performs evaluation based on whether the new business proposed by the proposing unit 120 can be realized in the company (organization). This allows you to understand the problems, areas for improvement, and advantages of the proposed new business from evaluation comments based on the feasibility of the business within the organization.In addition, by making it possible to refine the content of the new business based on the comments, it is possible to support the creation of a better proposal.

[0048] The providing unit 130 also serves as a means for providing an evaluation of a new business proposal based on management information related to the business. For example, the providing unit 130 checks the content of the new business from the perspective of the manager and provides evaluation comments. More specifically, the providing unit 130 of this embodiment uses information about the management resources of an organization as the management information. Examples of the management resources include the human resources, funds, and facilities of the organization.

[0049] The providing unit 130 is also a means for providing an evaluation of a new business proposal based on future information about the future. For example, the providing unit 130 checks the content of the new business from a perspective looking into the future on a time axis and provides evaluation comments. More specifically, the providing unit 130 of this embodiment can use information about the future of the organization as the future information. Also, the providing unit 130 of this embodiment can use information about factors that may affect the future of the organization as the future information.

[0050] Next, a specific description will be given of the business model canvas, which is one piece of information used by the proposing unit 120 of this embodiment to evaluate the generated new business. The business model canvas is a framework that visualizes the structure of a business. The proposing unit 120 uses the business model canvas as a framework to organize information about the company and external information different from the company.

[0051] The Business Model Canvas uses nine elements to understand new businesses from multiple angles: "CS: Customer Segment," which examines the customer groups a company wants to engage with; "CR: Customer Relationship," which examines the type of relationship a company will have with a specific customer segment; "VP: Value Proposition," which examines the products and services that create value for a specific customer segment; "CH: ​​Channel," which examines how a company will communicate with and deliver value to a customer segment; "RS: Revenue Stream," which examines the cash flow a company will generate from the customer segment; "CS: Cost Structure," which examines all costs incurred in operating the business model; "KA: Key Activities," which examines the important activities that a company must carry out in order to execute the business model; "KR: Key Resources," which examines the assets necessary to execute the business model; and "KP: Key Partners," which examines the network of suppliers and partners that will build the business model.

[0052] Next, specific information regarding the feasibility of a business in an organization, which is used by the proposing unit 120 of this embodiment to evaluate the generated new business, will be specifically described. The provision unit 130 of this embodiment can use five points as specific information to evaluate new businesses, such as (1) "connection with social issues," (2) "technical feasibility," (3) "marketability and business scale," (4) "profitability and investment return," and (5) "concreteness of the implementation plan."

[0053] (1) Based on the perspective of "connection with social issues," the proposal department 120 checks and evaluates whether the new business generated is consistent with the company's mission, whether it is related to one of the four materialities, such as agriculture, healthcare, the environment, or ICT (Information and Communication Technology), and whether it can contribute to the realization of a sustainable society. (2) From the perspective of “technical feasibility,” the Proposal Department 120 checks and evaluates whether the company’s proprietary technology and knowledge can be utilized, whether there is a connection with platform technologies such as agrochemical creation, bioresource utilization, and functional material creation, and whether the method of acquiring the necessary technology (in-house development or open innovation) is clear.

[0054] (3) Based on the perspective of "marketability and business scale," the proposal department 120 checks and evaluates whether the new business generated is targeting a market that is commensurate with the company's size and strength, whether the market has growth potential and sustainability, and whether the factors that differentiate it from competitors are clear. (4) Based on the perspective of "profitability and investment effectiveness," the proposal department 120 checks and evaluates the generated new business on the following points: whether the outlook for investment recovery is realistic; whether the necessary management resources, such as human resources, equipment, and funds, are clear; and whether an analysis of risk factors and countermeasures are presented. (5) Based on the perspective of “specificity of the implementation plan,” the proposal department 120 checks and evaluates the generated new business on points such as whether the milestones are clear, whether the necessary organizational structure is indicated, and whether external partners have been sufficiently considered.

[0055] Of these, this system 1 particularly places importance on the perspectives of (1) "connection to social issues" and (3) "marketability and business scale" when evaluating the new businesses that are generated. This is because it is important that the proposed new business enables the company to contribute to society, and that the new business is appropriately positioned to match the size of the company.

[0056] Furthermore, the proposal unit 120 can make an evaluation based on information about management sent by, for example, the business company (organization) or the president. Examples of the information about management include the management philosophy, MVV (Mission, Vision, and Values), a mid-term management plan, an annual management policy, a message from the president, a business plan, and an integrated report. Here, the management philosophy and MVV are a summary of the basic ideas that indicate the company's reason for existence, future vision, mission, and guidelines for action. A medium-term management plan is a plan that outlines the company's overall strategy and numerical targets for the next three to five years. The annual management policy document is a document that outlines key policies and specific initiatives for the coming year. The president's message is a message in which the president conveys the management policy and direction of the company in his or her own words. A business plan is a document that shows the profitability and execution plan for a specific business or new project. An integrated report is a report that integrates financial information and non-financial information (ESG, etc.) to show a company's long-term value creation.

[0057] Furthermore, the provision unit 130 of this embodiment can evaluate new businesses based on the direction of future investment, such as marketability and future prospects, such as whether they are in line with market needs and trends and whether there is the possibility that the market will expand, without being bound by existing technologies at the present time. In this way, the providing unit 130 of this embodiment generates evaluation comments using future information on the time axis in relation to past information, such as the company's proprietary technology used to create a new business. For example, information related to the future can be presented about geopolitical and economic global situations, environmental changes, etc. As a result, the system 1 can refine new businesses so that they become businesses that are expected to achieve sustainable growth and development as a company.

[0058] The providing unit 130 also provides evaluation information that evaluates the revised new business proposal. That is, the providing unit 130 provides evaluation information that re-evaluates the revised new business proposal content with respect to various elements. This allows proposals to be made repeatedly while brushing up on the content of the new business, rather than making the best proposal for the new business in one go, which ultimately results in a better proposal for the new business.

[0059] The providing unit 130 also provides evaluations whose content varies depending on the attributes of the proposer. That is, the providing unit 130 varies the content of the comments depending on attributes such as the personnel information (position and title within the company), department, company history (years of experience in technology development), job change history, age, personality tendencies, gender, and place of origin of the proposer of the new business. Specifically, the providing unit 130 varies the ratio of positive evaluation comments to negative evaluation comments depending on the attributes of the proposer.

[0060] For proposers with a low position within the company (e.g., job title), the proportion of positive evaluation comments should be higher than the proportion of negative evaluation comments. For example, for proposers with a low position within the company, proposers with little experience in technology development, or proposers who are young, comments should be made to praise and motivate them.

[0061] On the other hand, for proposers with high positions within the company, the proportion of negative evaluation comments will be higher than the proportion of positive evaluation comments.For example, for proposers with high positions within the company and a lot of responsibility, proposers with a lot of experience in technology development, or older veteran proposers, relatively strict criticism will be made, but comments that encourage and motivate will also be made. This allows us to provide comments that resonate with the proposers of new businesses, rather than mechanical comments that respond uniformly.

[0062] The output unit 140 is a means having a function of outputting an answer to a question. That is, the output unit 140 outputs an answer to a question in response to a comment received by the receiving unit 110. In this case, the reception of the question by the reception unit 110 and the output of the answer by the output unit 140 may be performed only once, but it is possible to perform this repeatedly (to allow for a rally). The output of the answer by the output unit 140 is preferably an interactive response using, for example, an AI chatbot function. This allows the content of new businesses to be efficiently refined.

[0063] The output unit 140 also has a function of outputting an evaluation score obtained by quantifying the evaluation. That is, the output unit 140 outputs the evaluation of the content of the new business corresponding to the comment provided by the providing unit 130 as an evaluation score obtained by quantifying the evaluation. This makes it easier to understand at a glance the evaluation and completeness of the new business content. It is preferable that comments on the new business proposal and questions regarding the comments be accepted and answered until the evaluation score exceeds a predetermined value, for example.

[0064] The collection unit 150 is a means having a function of collecting problem information in various technical fields and / or technical information possessed by the company based on predetermined conditions. That is, the collection unit 150 collects social problem information stored in the social problem information DB 210 and company technical information stored in the company technical information DB 220 via the network N based on predetermined conditions. Note that the social problem information and company technical information may be information stored in advance in the company technical information DB 220 and the social problem information DB 210 of the new business proposal support device 10 of this embodiment, as well as information stored outside the present system 1.

[0065] The predetermined conditions for collecting social issue information can be, for example, information that has been posted or published on the Internet a predetermined number of times, information that has been posted or published in a specific newspaper, specialized magazine, or Internet site, or information that could be improved or solved using the company's technology.Furthermore, the predetermined conditions for collecting company technology information can be, for example, information related to the company's business or technology, or information related to information on desired subjects. This allows for the efficient collection of information on social issues and company technology necessary for proposing new businesses. In addition, by constantly collecting information on social issues and company technology, more detailed new business proposals can be made.

[0066] The social issue information DB 210 is a means for storing issue information in various technical fields. That is, the social issue information DB 210 stores a concise summary of issues in various technical fields that are published or made public in newspaper articles, technical magazines, the Internet, etc., as shown in Fig. 4, for example.

[0067] The in-house technical information DB 220 is a means for storing technical information possessed by the company. That is, as shown in Fig. 5, the in-house technical information DB 220 stores, for example, technical information described (published) in in-house technical journals, invention proposals, patent publications, research reports, etc., as well as knowledge and experience associated with technology known as know-how.

[0068] As described above, the new business proposal support device 10 of this embodiment functions as a device including a reception unit 110, a proposal unit 120, a provision unit 130, an output unit 140, and a collection unit 150 by loading various programs (OS, applications, etc.) stored in the auxiliary storage device into the main storage device and executing them by the CPU 11.

[0069] Next, a flow of new business proposal support processing in the new business proposal support device 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the basic operation of the new business proposal processing in the new business proposal support device 10. As shown in FIG.

[0070] As shown in FIG. 6, in step S301, the accepting unit 110 performs processing to determine whether or not the intended object information has been accepted (received). If the receiving unit 110 has received the intended object information (YES in S301), the process proceeds to step S302. On the other hand, if the receiving unit 110 has not received the intended object information (NO in S301), the process in step S301 is repeated.

[0071] In step S302, the proposing unit 120 performs a process of identifying social problem information related to the intended subject information received by the receiving unit 110 and the company's own technology information for improving or solving the social problem. Then, in step S303, the proposing unit 120 performs a process of proposing a new business using the identified social issue information and the company's technology information. Thereafter, the operation of the new business proposal support device 10 ends (END).

[0072] Next, the flow of the evaluation providing process in the present system 1 will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the operation of the evaluation providing process in the new business proposal support device 10.

[0073] As shown in FIG. 7, the processes in steps S401 to S403 are the same as those in steps S301 to S303 described above, and therefore a description thereof will be omitted. In step S404, the providing unit 130 performs a process of providing evaluation comments that evaluate the new business proposal from the viewpoint of management and future prospects. Then, in step S405, the output unit 140 performs processing to output the evaluation comment provided by the providing unit 130 as well as an evaluation score obtained by quantifying the evaluation made on the new business proposal. Thereafter, the operation of the new business proposal support device 10 ends (END).

[0074] Next, the flow of the proposal correction process in the present system 1 will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the operation of the proposal correction process in the new business proposal support device 10.

[0075] As shown in FIG. 8, the processes in steps S501 to S505 are the same as those in steps S401 to S405 described above, and therefore a description thereof will be omitted. In step S506, the accepting unit 110 performs a process of determining whether or not a request to amend the content of the new business proposed by the proposing unit 120 (hereinafter referred to as a "amendment request") has been accepted (received). If the reception unit 110 has received a correction request (YES in S506), the process proceeds to step S507. On the other hand, if the reception unit 110 has not received a correction request (NO in S506), the operation of the new business proposal support device 10 ends (END).

[0076] In step S507, the providing unit 130 performs a process of providing new evaluation comments on the revised proposal for the new business. Then, in step S508, the output unit 140 performs processing to output the new comment provided by the providing unit 130 as well as an evaluation score obtained by quantifying the evaluation made on the revised proposal for the new business. Thereafter, the operation of the new business proposal support device 10 ends (END).

[0077] Next, another flow of the proposal correction process in the present system 1 will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing another operation of the proposal correction process in the new business proposal support device 10.

[0078] As shown in FIG. 9, the processes in steps S601 to S608 are the same as those in steps S501 to S508 described above, and therefore a description thereof will be omitted. In step S609, the receiving unit 110 performs a process of determining whether the evaluation score output by the output unit 140 is lower than a predetermined numerical value. If the reception unit 110 determines that the evaluation score is lower than the predetermined numerical value (YES in S609), the processing from step S606 onward is repeated. On the other hand, if the reception unit 110 determines that the evaluation score is equal to or greater than the predetermined numerical value (NO in S609), the operation of the new business proposal support device 10 ends (END).

[0079] In this embodiment, if the evaluation score of the generated new business is lower than a predetermined value, the system accepts revisions again. In this way, by actively encouraging the proposer to make revisions according to the evaluation score, the system encourages the proposer to brush up (improve) the content of the new business.

[0080] In the above example, the evaluation results of the new business are output and then the proposer is asked to modify the new business, but this is not a limitation. For example, when a new business is first generated by the proposal unit 120, the output unit 140 automatically evaluates the generated new business. At this time, if the evaluation score of the new business is lower than a predetermined value, the proposal unit 120 may regenerate the new business using the social issue information and the company's technology information without outputting the new business and the evaluation results of the new business. In this case, a modified new new business is generated again. Then, the output unit 140 evaluates the regenerated new business. In this way, the new business may be output to the proposer on the condition that the evaluation results of the generated new business satisfy certain criteria.

[0081] Next, the flow of the question and answer process for the provided evaluation in the present system 1 will be described. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the operation of the question and answer process in the new business proposal support device 10.

[0082] As shown in FIG. 10, the processes in steps S701 to S705 are the same as those in steps S501 to S505 described above, and therefore a description thereof will be omitted. In step S706, the receiving unit 110 performs a process of determining whether or not a question about the evaluation provided by the providing unit 130 has been received. If the reception unit 110 has received a question (YES in S706), the process proceeds to step S707. On the other hand, if the reception unit 110 has not received a question (NO in S706), the process proceeds to step S708. In step S707, the output unit 140 performs a process of outputting an answer to the question received by the receiving unit 110, and then repeats the process in step S706. The processing in steps S708 to S710 is the same as that in steps S506 to S508 described above, and therefore a description thereof will be omitted. Thereafter, the operation of the new business proposal support device 10 ends (END).

[0083] Next, the flow of the social issue information collection process in the present system 1 will be described. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the operation of the social issue information collection process in the new business proposal support device 10.

[0084] As shown in FIG. 11, in step S801, the collection unit 150 performs a process of determining whether a predetermined time has arrived. If the collection unit 150 determines that the predetermined time has arrived (YES in S801), the process proceeds to step S802. On the other hand, if the collection unit 150 determines that the predetermined time has not arrived (NO in S801), the process in step S801 is repeated. In step S802, the collection unit 150 performs a process of searching, via the network N, for social issue information related to a predetermined condition.

[0085] Subsequently, in step S803, the collection unit 150 performs a process of determining whether or not there is relevant information, that is, whether or not social issue information related to the predetermined conditions has been found. If the collection unit 150 determines that there is relevant information (social issue information related to the predetermined conditions is found) (YES in S803), the process proceeds to step S804. On the other hand, if the collection unit 150 determines that there is no relevant information (social issue information related to the predetermined conditions is not found) (NO in S803), the operation of the new business proposal support device 10 ends (END). Then, in step S804, the collection unit 150 performs a process of storing (accumulating) the corresponding information in the social issue information DB 210 as social issue information. Thereafter, the operation of the new business proposal support device 10 ends (END).

[0086] In this embodiment, the social issue information is collected in advance, but the present invention is not limited to this. The social issue information may be collected from an internal database or external information when an instruction to propose a new business is received from the proposer.

[0087] Next, the flow of the in-house technical information collection process in the present system 1 will be described. FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the operation of the in-house technology information collection process in the new business proposal support device 10.

[0088] As shown in FIG. 12, in step S901, the receiving unit 110 performs processing to determine whether or not technical information has been received. If the receiving unit 110 has received the technical information (YES in S901), the process proceeds to step S902. On the other hand, if the receiving unit 110 has not received the technical information (NO in S901), the process in step S901 is repeated. Then, in step S902, the collection unit 150 performs a process of cataloging the technical information received by the reception unit 110 in a predetermined format and storing (accumulating) the catalog in the company's technical information DB 220. Thereafter, the operation of the new business proposal support device 10 ends (END).

[0089] Further, another flow of the in-house technical information collection process in this system 1 will be described. FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing another operation of the in-house technology information collection process in the new business proposal support device 10. In FIG.

[0090] As shown in FIG. 13, in step S1001, the collection unit 150 performs a process of determining whether a predetermined time has arrived. If the collection unit 150 determines that the predetermined time has arrived (YES in S1001), the process proceeds to step S1002. On the other hand, if the collection unit 150 determines that the predetermined time has not arrived (NO in S1001), the process in step S1001 is repeated. In step S1002, the collection unit 150 performs a process of searching, via the network N, for technical information related to a predetermined condition.

[0091] Subsequently, in step S1003, the collection unit 150 performs a process of determining whether or not there is relevant technical information, that is, whether or not technical information related to the predetermined condition has been found. If the collection unit 150 determines that there is relevant information (technical information related to the predetermined condition is found) (YES in S1003), the process proceeds to step S1004. On the other hand, if the collection unit 150 determines that there is no relevant information (technical information related to the predetermined condition is not found) (NO in S1003), the operation of the new business proposal support device 10 ends (END). Then, in step S1004, the collection unit 150 performs a process of storing (accumulating) the corresponding information in the company's technology information DB 220 as auxiliary information of the company's technology. Thereafter, the operation of the new business proposal support device 10 ends (END).

[0092] As described above, this system 1 is a desirable system that supports the highly demanding task of proposing new businesses using in-house technology. In other words, this system is designed to propose new businesses by utilizing the proposer's thoughts, i.e., information on desired things, and information on social issues and in-house technology, which is similar to the experience and wisdom of veteran employees. This simplifies the process of creating new businesses, allowing new businesses and their contents to be efficiently proposed in the form of proposals prepared in a standard format.

[0093] Next, an example of a screen configuration displayed on the proposer terminal 30 in this embodiment will be described. First, the input of the intended subject information, which is a prerequisite for outputting a proposal for a new business theme, can be performed on the screen shown in FIG. 14, for example. FIG. 14 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the configuration of an intended object information input screen 300 displayed on the proposer terminal 30. As shown in FIG.

[0094] This intended object information input screen 300 is provided with an input instruction display section 301, an intended object information input field 302, and a "send" button 303. In FIG. 14, the input instruction display section 301 displays "Please feel free to enter anything you would like to do as a new business." Therefore, the proposer of the new business enters what he or she wants to do as the new business in the desired thing information input field 302, and then selects (e.g., clicks) the "Send" button 303. This causes the information entered in the desired thing information input field 302 to be sent to the new business proposal support device 10.

[0095] Here, in the desired thing information input field 302, the proposer can input text or upload a proposal or the like that describes the content that the proposer wants to carry out as a new business. If the proposer cannot decide in advance what he or she wants to do, the proposer can use the chatbot function of the generation AI (not shown). In this case, the AI ​​chatbot can ask questions and provide answers to the proposer, based on a dialogue between the proposer and the AI ​​chatbot, so that the proposer can concretize the rough outline of the business they want to propose.

[0096] Then, for example, a new business proposal output screen 310 as shown in FIG. FIG. 15 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the configuration of a new business proposal output screen 310 displayed on the proposer terminal 30. As shown in FIG.

[0097] The new business proposal output screen 310 (an example of proposal information) includes, for example, a new business theme display section 311 that displays the name (overview) of the proposed theme, a proposal content display section 312 that describes the details of the proposal, and a market development method display section 313 that displays how the proposed business will develop the market. Furthermore, the new business proposal output screen 310 also includes a strategic story hypothesis display section 314 that displays a strategy for developing the business, a business model display section 315 that displays a mechanism for generating revenue based on the business, a summary display section 316, and a "view evaluation" button 317. Thus, the new business proposal output screen 310 includes information related to commercializing the new business, such as the market development method display section 313, the strategic story hypothesis display section 314, and the business model display section 315.

[0098] In Figure 15, the new business theme display section 311 displays "Development, manufacturing, and sales business of next-generation low-cost nanoalloy catalysts for water electrolysis." The proposal content display section 312 displays "Development of innovative nanoalloy catalysts that can reduce the amount of precious metals used by 90%," "Mass production of non-precious metal-based highly active catalysts using inter-element fusion technology," etc. The market development method display section 313 displays "Establishment of joint development partnerships with global water electrolysis equipment manufacturers," "Accumulation of performance data through demonstration tests and establishment of reliability in the market," etc.

[0099] The strategic story hypothesis display section 314 also includes a mission display section 3141, an industrial transformation concept display section 3142, a business hypothesis display section 3143, and a reason why the project should be undertaken now display section 3144. The mission display section 3141 displays phrases such as "Accelerating the realization of a hydrogen society by significantly reducing the cost of green hydrogen production," and "Establishing a sustainable industrial structure by effectively utilizing rare metal resources." The industrial transformation concept display section 3142 displays phrases such as "Expanding the market by reforming the cost structure of water electrolysis equipment," and "Establishing a stable supply system by eliminating dependence on precious metals in the supply chain." The business hypothesis display section 3143 displays phrases such as "Capturing a 30% global market share in the first five years," and "Ensuring stable annual profits of approximately 10 billion yen." The reason for taking action now display section 3144 displays phrases such as "Full-scale capital investment toward the realization of a global hydrogen society" and "Rapid increase in the need for alternative technologies due to soaring precious metal prices."

[0100] Furthermore, the business model display section 315 displays "direct sales of catalyst products (60% of sales)," "technology licensing income (20% of sales)," etc. The summary display section 316 displays the following: "Through the above proposals, we will achieve a 40% reduction in hydrogen production costs and contribute to the creation of a green hydrogen market of 1 trillion yen by 2030. Furthermore, we will establish a sustainable business foundation centered on our inter-element fusion technology."

[0101] 15, a new business proposal output screen 310 of this embodiment outputs a new business theme display section 311 (an example of a theme) and a strategic story hypothesis display section 314 (an example of information required to commercialize the theme). In this way, the new business proposal output screen 310 of this embodiment is designed to make a forward-looking proposal by displaying not only the theme of the new business but also the information required to commercialize the theme as a new business.

[0102] To view the evaluation of the new business proposed on the new business proposal output screen 310, the proposer selects (for example, clicks) the “View Evaluation” button 317. As a result, for example, an evaluation output screen 320 as shown in FIG. FIG. 16 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the configuration of an evaluation output screen 320 for a new business displayed on the proposer terminal 30. As shown in FIG.

[0103] The evaluation output screen 320 has a comment display section 321 and a new business proposal display section 322. The comment display section 321 has, for example, a comment summary display section 3211, a technical feasibility display section 3212, a business scale and investment display section 3213, a competitive analysis display section 3214, a commercialization timeline display section 3215, and a proposed approach display section 3216. Note that although only a portion of the new business proposal is displayed in the window in FIG. 16, the entire new business proposal can be viewed by performing an operation such as scrolling.

[0104] In Figure 16, comment summary display section 3211 displays the following message: "That's an interesting proposal. Catalyst technology aimed at realizing a hydrogen society is certainly a theme that matches the current era. First, to start with the positive aspects, the technological differentiation factor of being able to reduce the amount of precious metals used by 90% is very appealing. However, there are a few points that concern me. To be honest:"

[0105] In this way, in the present system 1, evaluation comments about the proposer in the comment display unit 321 (an example of evaluation information) include positive evaluations and negative evaluations. Then, in the comment display unit 321 that the proposer views, positive evaluation comments are written before negative evaluation comments. In this way, in the comment display unit 321 of this embodiment, a priority is set for the writing depending on the content of the evaluation. Due to this priority, in the comment display unit 321 of this embodiment, the proposer viewing the comments starts reading the positive content rather than starting with the negative content, thereby reducing the proposer's resistance.

[0106] In addition, although not shown in the figure, the technical feasibility display section 3212, the business scale and investment display section 3213, the competitive situation analysis display section 3214, the business development timeline display section 3215, and the proposed approach display section 3216 display comments according to each item, although not specifically shown.

[0107] 16, the new business proposal display section 322 displays the same contents as those displayed in the new business theme display section 311 and the proposal content display section 312 on the new business proposal output screen 310 shown in FIG. 15. In other words, the evaluation output screen 320 viewed by the proposer displays both the comment display section 321 and the new business proposal display section 322. In this way, the system 1 allows the proposer to check at a glance the information on the new business that is the basis for the evaluation while viewing the evaluation information.

[0108] Furthermore, the evaluation output screen 320 can output evaluation points, which are numerical evaluations, together with comments, as shown in FIG. FIG. 17 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the configuration of an evaluation output screen 320 that is displayed on the proposer terminal 30 and includes an evaluation score output for a new business.

[0109] This evaluation output screen 320 is additionally provided with an evaluation point display section 323 (an example of a display field). In FIG. 17, the evaluation score display section 323 displays "Evaluation score: 65 points" along with a comment explaining the reason (basis) for the evaluation score, such as "The technical advancement and understanding of market needs are good, but more work is needed in terms of fit with our current situation, feasibility, investment scale, etc. However, the direction is not wrong, so if you brush it up, I think it will become a proposal that is well worth considering."

[0110] That is, the evaluation point display unit 323 displays both the evaluation comments, which are comments on the evaluation, and the evaluation points, which are numerical representations of the evaluation. Here, if only the numerical values ​​of the evaluation points were provided in a separate column, the proposer's attention would be drawn only to the numerical values, which could reduce the level of attention paid to the evaluation comments. Therefore, the present system 1 displays the evaluation points and the evaluation comments together, thereby increasing the proposer's awareness of reading not only the evaluation points but also the evaluation comments.

[0111] Furthermore, the evaluation output screen 320 can enable the new business proposal to be revised, for example, as shown in Fig. 18. That is, the new business proposal displayed on the evaluation output screen 320 can be freely revised in accordance with the comments displayed in the evaluation point display section 323 shown in Fig. 17. FIG. 18 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the configuration when making corrections on the evaluation output screen 320 for a new business displayed on the proposer terminal 30.

[0112] This evaluation output screen 320 is additionally provided with a "Modify" button 324. In Figure 18, when the "Edit" button 324 is selected (e.g., clicked), the new business proposal output screen 310 shown in Figure 15 is displayed (not shown), and on this screen it becomes possible to directly accept text edits and insert images such as drawings and photographs. After making the corrections, by selecting (for example, clicking) the "View Evaluation" button 317, the user can obtain evaluation comments on the revised new business proposal output screen 310.

[0113] Furthermore, the evaluation output screen 320 can be configured to accept questions about the content of the comments and corrections to the new business proposal, for example, as shown in FIG. FIG. 19 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the configuration when a question is asked on the evaluation output screen 320 for a new business displayed on the proposer terminal 30. In FIG.

[0114] This evaluation output screen 320 is provided with an evaluator icon 325 and an additional "Ask a question via chat" button 326. In FIG. 19, when the "Ask a question via chat" button 326 is selected (e.g., clicked), a question can be entered by selecting each comment item or each item in the new business proposal (not shown), and the answer can be output, allowing repeated question and answer sessions as if you were having a real-time online conversation with the evaluator shown in icon 325.

[0115] In this embodiment, the evaluator icon 325 displays the face icon of the president, who is the representative of the organization, and the president's name. The AI ​​chatbot used in this embodiment reflects the specific person known as the president. More specifically, the chatbot reflects the president's policies, ideas, personality, and character. The president's policies and ideas can be, for example, information about management, such as the management policy and messages the president has publicly communicated. Furthermore, the president's personality and character can be determined from information such as the president's career history, responsibilities, work assignments, work experience, books and papers written by the president, articles about the president in newspapers and magazines, interviews, hobbies, preferences, and hometown.

[0116] In this system 1, an AI chatbot that reflects the proposer's superior (in this example, the president) will have a dialogue with the proposer regarding the evaluation of the new business. The dialogue can be conducted by voice as well as by messaging. Furthermore, the AI ​​chatbot of this embodiment outputs messages in a manner that mimics the words spoken by a superior. For example, the manner in which the messages are uttered by a superior can be exemplified by the superior's tone of voice, preferred expressions, and frequently used words.

[0117] In this embodiment, the president is reflected as the respondent of the AI ​​chatbot, but this is not a limitation. The respondent reflected as the AI ​​chatbot may be someone other than the president, and is preferably a superior who is in a position to give advice to the proposer, such as an executive, department head, or general manager. The respondent reflected as the AI ​​chatbot may also be someone within the company, such as a colleague or junior colleague. Furthermore, the respondent reflected as the AI ​​chatbot may be someone outside the company, as long as they are bound by confidentiality obligations regarding development information, etc.
