[0011] Incidentally, the program for realizing the software appearing in one embodiment may be provided as a non-transitory computer-readable medium, or may be provided so that it can be downloaded from an external server, or may be provided so that the program is started on an external computer and its functions are realized on a client terminal (so-called cloud computing).

[0012] Furthermore, various information processing according to an embodiment may realize input and output corresponding to the input. Here, the form of information referenced in such information processing (hereinafter referred to as reference information) is not limited as long as an output is obtained as a result of the input. The reference information may be, for example, rule-based information such as a database, a lookup table, or a predetermined function (including a decision formula such as a regression formula constructed using a statistical method), a trained model that has previously learned the correlation between input and output, or a generative AI such as a large-scale language model (these models include parameters that establish the correlation between input and output) or a visual language model that can output a desired result in response to a prompt.

[0013] In one embodiment, a "unit" may include, for example, a combination of hardware resources implemented by a circuit in the broad sense and software information processing that can be specifically realized by these hardware resources. In one embodiment, various information is handled, and this information is represented, for example, by physical values ​​of signal values ​​representing voltage and current, high and low signal values ​​as a binary bit set consisting of 0 or 1, or quantum superposition (so-called quantum bits), and communication and calculations can be performed on a circuit in the broad sense.

[0014] Furthermore, a circuit in the broad sense is a circuit realized by at least an appropriate combination of a circuit, circuitry, processor, memory, etc. The processor may be a general-purpose processor or a dedicated circuit. That is, it includes an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a programmable logic device (e.g., a simple programmable logic device (SPLD), a complex programmable logic device (CPLD), and a field programmable gate array (FPGA)), etc.

[0015] 1. Hardware Configuration This section explains the hardware configuration.

[0016] Fig. 1 is a configuration diagram showing an information processing system 1. Fig. 1 shows an information processing system 1 including a communication line 2, a server device 10, and a plurality of user terminals 20. The server device 10 and each user terminal 20 are configured to be able to communicate with each other via the communication line 2. The connection between the server device 10 and each user terminal 20 may be wired or wireless.

[0017] The information processing system 1 may constitute at least a part of an M&A (Merger & Acquisitions) system used by, for example, a seller and a buyer of a transaction target organization. Here, the term "organization" may include a corporation, such as a company, a business, a department, a team, and the like. Furthermore, the term "transaction" may include, for example, the transfer, acquisition, sale, or succession of the transaction target organization, a business alliance or capital alliance within the transaction target organization, a merger of the transaction target organization, the establishment of a joint venture (JV) related to the transaction target organization, and fundraising related to the transaction target organization. For example, when the "transaction" is the establishment of a JV, the buyer and seller may be interpreted as the first transaction party and the second transaction party, respectively. Note that in this specification, the terms "seller user" and "seller" may be used to refer to both the seller of the organization and the person acting on behalf of the seller (seller's agent). A "seller" is a party wishing to sell or otherwise transact with a target organization, and includes organizations such as for-profit corporations (e.g., companies), non-profit corporations (e.g., cooperatives, foundations), and public corporations (e.g., local governments), as well as their respective personnel. In addition, a transaction involving an organization may involve both a buyer of the organization and a party acting on behalf of the buyer (a buyer agent). In this specification, the terms "buyer user" and "buyer" may be used to refer to both parties. A "buyer" is a party wishing to transact with a target organization, such as by acquiring the organization or investing in it, and includes organizations such as for-profit corporations, non-profit corporations, and public corporations, as well as their respective personnel. Here, "seller agent" and "buyer agent" include M&A brokers, consultants, financial advisors, and the like. In the example shown in FIG. 1, seller U1 and seller agent U2 are shown as users involved in the information processing system 1, and these users correspond to "seller users." In this specification, the terminals used by these seller users may be referred to as "seller user terminals." In the example shown in FIG. 1, buyer U3 and buyer agent U4 are shown as users involved in the information processing system 1, and these users correspond to "buyer users." In this specification, the terminals used by these buyer users may be referred to as "buyer user terminals."In this embodiment, the information processing system 1 mainly performs the registration of organizations to be traded by seller users, the search for organizations to be traded by buyer users, and mediation of communication between buyer and seller users. For example, the information processing system 1 provides and manages an M&A matching platform (which may be referred to as an "organization transaction platform") and M&A matching services used by buyer and seller users.

[0018] In this embodiment, a buyer user requests name clearance from an organization. In this specification, "name clearance" refers to a procedure for disclosing to a buyer user information that can identify the organization, such as the name of the organization that is the subject of a transaction.

[0019] In one embodiment, the information processing system 1 is comprised of one or more devices or components. For example, the information processing system 1 may include a server device (e.g., server device 10) having a processor (e.g., control unit 11) and a terminal (e.g., user terminal 20) that can access the server. These components will be described below.

[0020] <Server device 10> Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of server device 10. As shown in Fig. 2, server device 10 includes a control unit 11, a storage unit 12, a communication unit 13, and a communication bus 14. Control unit 11, storage unit 12, and communication unit 13 are electrically connected within server device 10 via communication bus 14.

[0021] <Control unit 11> The control unit 11 processes and controls the overall operations related to the server device 10. The control unit 11 is, for example, a central processing unit (CPU). The control unit 11 realizes various functions related to the server device 10 by reading out predetermined programs stored in the storage unit 12. In other words, information processing by software stored in the storage unit 12 is specifically realized by the control unit 11, which is an example of hardware, and can be executed as each functional unit included in the control unit 11. These will be described in more detail in the next section. Note that the control unit 11 is not limited to being a single unit, and the server device 10 may have multiple control units 11 for each function. Furthermore, the server device 10 may be configured with a combination of these.

[0022] <Storage section 12> The memory unit 12 stores various pieces of information defined above. This can be implemented, for example, as a storage device such as a solid state drive (SSD) that stores various programs and the like related to the server device 10 executed by the control unit 11, or as a memory such as a random access memory (RAM) that stores temporarily required information (arguments, arrays, etc.) related to the program operations. The memory unit 12 stores various programs, variables, etc. related to the server device 10 executed by the control unit 11.

[0023] <Communications Department 13> The communication unit 13 is preferably a wired communication means such as USB, IEEE1394, Thunderbolt (registered trademark), or wired LAN network communication, but may also include wireless LAN network communication, mobile communication such as LTE / 5G, or BLUETOOTH (registered trademark) communication as needed. That is, it is more preferable to implement it as a collection of multiple communication means. That is, the server device 10 may communicate various information from the outside via the communication unit 13 and the network.

[0024] The server device 10 may be an on-premise server or a cloud server. The cloud server device 10 may provide the above-described functions and processes in the form of, for example, SaaS (Software as a Service) or cloud computing.

[0025] <User terminal 20> Fig. 3 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of user terminal 20. This user terminal 20 is a terminal used by the various users (buyer users and seller users) mentioned above. As shown in Fig. 3, user terminal 20 includes a control unit 21, a memory unit 22, a communication unit 23, an input unit 24, an output unit 25, and a communication bus 26. Control unit 21, memory unit 22, communication unit 23, input unit 24, and output unit 25 are electrically connected via communication bus 26 inside user terminal 20. Description of control unit 21, memory unit 22, and communication unit 23 will be omitted as they are the same as the descriptions of the respective units in server device 10.

[0026] <Input section 24> The input unit 24 accepts operation inputs made by the user. The operation inputs are transferred as command signals to the control unit 21 via the communication bus 26. The control unit 21 can execute predetermined control or calculations based on the transferred command signals as necessary. The input unit 24 may be included in the housing of the user terminal 20 or may be attached externally. For example, the input unit 24 may be implemented as a touch panel integrated with the output unit 25. When the input unit 24 is implemented as a touch panel, the user can input tap operations, swipe operations, etc. to the input unit 24. Instead of a touch panel, a switch button, a mouse, a trackpad, a QWERTY keyboard, etc. can be used as the input unit 24.

[0027] <Output section 25> The output unit 25 displays a screen of a graphical user interface (GUI) that can be operated by the user. The output unit 25 may be included in the housing of the user terminal 20 or may be attached externally. Specifically, the output unit 25 may be implemented as a display device such as a CRT display, a liquid crystal display, an organic EL display, or a plasma display. It is preferable that these display devices are used appropriately depending on the type of user terminal 20.

[0028] 1 shows an example in which the user terminal 20 is a laptop PC (Personal Computer), but in this embodiment, there is no particular limitation on the type of terminal of the user terminal 20. That is, each user terminal 20 may be various information processing terminals such as a desktop PC, a laptop PC, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, etc.

[0029] 2. Functional configuration This section describes the functional configuration of this embodiment. Information processing by software stored in the storage unit 12 is specifically realized by the control unit 11, which is an example of hardware, and can be executed as each functional unit included in the control unit 11 (a processor provided in the information processing system 1).

[0030] FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing functions realized by the server device 10 (controller 11) and the user terminal 20 (controller 21).

[0031] 4A, the server device 10 (control unit 11) may include a registration unit 110, a setting unit 111, a reception unit 112, a display control unit 113, a generation unit 114, a memory management unit 115, and an artificial intelligence unit 116. As shown in FIG. 4B, the user terminal 20 (control unit 21) may include a display control unit 210 and an operation reception unit 211.

[0032] <Registration Unit 110> The registration unit 110 is configured to be able to execute a registration step. In the registration step, the registration unit 110 performs user registration and case registration for the platform and services provided by the information processing system 1. In the example of this embodiment, the registration unit 110 registers one or more of the seller U1, seller agent U2, buyer U3, and buyer agent U4 as users of the platform and services. Also, in the example of this embodiment, the registration unit 110 registers information about the organization that is the subject of a transaction as a "(transaction) case." The information registered by the registration unit 110 may be stored in a predetermined memory area by the function of the memory management unit 115, which will be described later.

[0033] <Settings section 111> The setting unit 111 is configured to be able to execute a setting step. In the setting step, the setting unit 111 performs various settings related to the information processing system 1 (particularly, the platform and services provided by the information processing system 1). In the example of this embodiment, the setting unit 111 performs a first setting for the organization that is the subject of the transaction. Here, the first setting is a setting for a first reception period corresponding to a period during which name clearance requests for the organization are accepted from buyer-side users. In addition, the setting unit 111 may perform a second setting, a third setting, a fourth setting, etc., which will be described later. Details of the settings performed by the setting unit 111 will be explained later.

[0034] <Reception Department 112> The reception unit 112 is configured to be able to execute a reception step. In the reception step, the reception unit 112 receives various information related to the information processing system 1. In the example of this embodiment, as a first reception step, the reception unit 112 receives a name clearance request from a buyer user and the buyer user's desired conditions during the first reception period described above. Details of the content received by the reception unit 112 will be explained later.

[0035] <Display control unit 113> The display control unit 113 is configured to execute a display control step. In the display control step, the display control unit 113 controls whether visual information is displayed on each user terminal 20. Furthermore, in the display control step, the display control unit 113 generates various display information and controls the display of content visible to the user. The display information may be information itself generated in a user-visible format, such as a screen, an image, an icon, or text, or may be rendering information for displaying a screen, an image, an icon, or text on various terminals. In this embodiment, the display control unit 113 displays, as a first display control step, on the screen of a terminal of a seller user of the organization, the names of buyer users who have requested name clearance and the buyer users' desired conditions. Furthermore, based on the function of the display control unit 113, the seller user may be configured to be able to specify, through operation on the screen of the seller user's terminal, a buyer user who will accept the name clearance request from among buyer users who have requested name clearance during the first acceptance period. The content that may be displayed on the user terminal 20 will be explained later.

[0036] <Generation unit 114> The generation unit 114 is configured to be able to execute a generation step. In the generation step, the generation unit 114 generates various pieces of information based on the information acquired by the server device 10. As an example, the generation unit 114 generates sentences, documents, graphs, figures, etc. based on the acquired information. The specific content generated by the generation unit 114 will be explained later.

[0037] <Storage management section 115> The memory management unit 115 is configured to be able to execute a memory management step. In the memory management step, the memory management unit 115 manages various pieces of information to be stored that are related to the information processing system 1. Typically, the memory management unit 115 is configured to store information handled by the server device 10, various terminals, etc. in a memory area. This memory area is exemplified by the memory area (memory unit 12) provided in the server device 10 and the memory areas of various devices, but this memory area does not necessarily have to be within the system shown in FIG. 1, and the memory management unit 115 can also manage various pieces of information to be stored in an external storage device, etc.

[0038] <Artificial Intelligence Department 116> The artificial intelligence unit 116 is configured to receive input from each functional unit and return the instructed output. The artificial intelligence used by the server device 10 in each functional unit may be a common one, or may be prepared individually for each functional unit.

[0039] The artificial intelligence unit 116 is an AI (Artificial Intelligence) equipped with a learning model such as a language model such as a Transformer including GPT (Generative Pretrained Transformer, including GPT-1, GPT-2, GPT-3, and GPT-4), BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers), BART (Bidirectional and Auto-regressive Transformer), etc., or a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), and may include a generative AI or an AI agent. The learning model may also be called an artificial intelligence model, a machine learning model, or a trained model.

[0040] The language model is an example of a learning model based on a machine learning algorithm. Specific examples of machine learning algorithms include nearest neighbor methods, naive Bayes methods, decision trees, support vector machines, and deep learning using neural networks. The artificial intelligence unit 116 can apply the above algorithms as appropriate.

[0041] The artificial intelligence unit 116 may have a trained model constructed by a learning method such as supervised learning, unsupervised learning, or self-supervised learning. In supervised learning, machine learning is performed using training data (training data). The training data consists of pairs of input data for learning and output data (correct answer data). In addition, the language model may not only be trained for a specific task, but also be a general-purpose model that can be used for a wide range of tasks.

[0042] The artificial intelligence unit 116 may use a natural language model as the artificial intelligence, or may include a general-purpose natural language processing trained model such as a large-scale language model (LLM) trained on a huge amount of data. An LLM is a learning model trained in advance on a large amount of data (e.g., (i) web content on the Internet, or (ii) data stored in a specified database) composed of text data, etc., and can perform various language processing tasks when given a task. Following given prompts, it can perform a wide range of natural language processing tasks, such as understanding sentence patterns and contexts, answering questions, and generating sentences. Such a general-purpose learning model may include a language model capable of handling various tasks without fine-tuning, using one-shot learning, few-shot learning, etc. Furthermore, a general-purpose learning model can also handle various tasks using zero-shot learning. The artificial intelligence used in each functional unit of the control unit 11 may be a separate learning model, or a common general-purpose learning model. A large-scale language model is a type of generative AI and includes models provided by services such as OpenAI's GPT, Google's Gemini, and Microsoft's Azure AI Studio. The artificial intelligence unit 116 may also include, as its artificial intelligence, a small-scale language model or a medium-scale language model that is smaller in scale than a large-scale language model. The small-scale language model and the medium-scale language model are natural language processing models that are trained based on less data than a large-scale language model. In addition, the artificial intelligence unit 116 may include any machine learning model, deep learning model, artificial intelligence model, etc. The artificial intelligence unit 116 may be constructed in a system external to the information processing system 1. The artificial intelligence unit 116 may also be of an interactive type (which may be interpreted as a chat type or a conversation type) that alternately receives input for performing instructed output and generates and outputs information.

[0043] The learning model included in the artificial intelligence unit 116 can perform additional learning using techniques such as transfer learning or fine tuning. For example, the artificial intelligence unit 116 learns whether the output content has been modified by a user or the like. That is, the artificial intelligence unit 116 may perform additional learning and fine tuning based on modifications to the content output by the learning model. Also, for example, each time new data is registered, the artificial intelligence unit 116 may perform additional learning and fine tuning using the new data as new training data. This improves the accuracy of the information output from the learning model.

[0044] The learning model included in the artificial intelligence unit 116 may be a learning model (distilled model) obtained by knowledge distillation using an original trained model. In knowledge distillation, a trained model such as a large-scale language model is used as a teacher model, and the parameters of the student model (distilled model) are adjusted to reduce the output loss (Soft Target Loss) of the student model (distilled model) relative to the output (Soft Target) of the teacher model, thereby learning the student model, which becomes the distilled model. Alternatively, the student model may be trained to reduce the output loss (Hard Target Loss) of the student model relative to the correct label (Hard Target) of the teacher data (a combination of input data and output data of the learning model). Compared to the original trained model (teacher model), the distilled model has a smaller number of parameters and a smaller processing load while maintaining performance similar to the trained model. Therefore, using a distilled model can reduce the cost of the information processing system 1.

[0045] For example, the learning model used in each functional unit may be a distilled model trained using a combination of input data and output data in a large-scale language model as training data. Furthermore, when the information processing system 1 is introduced, a large-scale language model may be used as the learning model used in each functional unit, and when training data from the large-scale language model is accumulated, a distilled model obtained by knowledge distillation using the training data may be used as the learning model used in each functional unit.

[0046] AI agents may also be called autonomous agents. An "AI agent" is a model that, when given a goal (purpose, objective, etc.) such as "teach me XX" or a task such as "output XX," breaks down the processing required to reach the goal or accomplish the task into subtasks, actions, etc., and performs tasks such as collecting and analyzing necessary data, generating and executing programs, etc. AI agents target information and instructions input by a user, autonomously select and execute tasks and actions according to the goal, and output information according to the goal, without requiring user intervention (operational input). AI agents may also autonomously learn to achieve their goals by autonomously creating and executing plans and evaluating the results. For example, an AI agent may be autonomously updated based on the results of subtask execution (e.g., collected information, information analysis results, etc.).

[0047] <Display control unit 210> The display control unit 210 of the user terminal 20 controls the display of a screen indicated by the screen data transmitted from the server device 10.

[0048] <Operation Reception Unit 211> The operation reception unit 211 of the user terminal 20 receives operations by users who use the user terminal 20 (seller U1, seller agent U2, buyer U3, buyer agent U4, etc.).

[0049] 3. Information Processing Method In this section, an information processing method for the server device 10 will be described with examples. This information processing method may be executed as each step by each unit of the server device 10. Note that the various features described in this section can be combined with each other as long as no technical contradiction occurs.

[0050] FIG. 5 is an activity diagram for explaining information processing according to this embodiment. As described above, in the information processing method according to this embodiment, the setting unit 111 of the server device 10 sets (first setting) a first reception period corresponding to a period during which a name clearance request from a buyer user to an organization is accepted. This setting is performed, for example, through an operation on a seller user terminal. That is, the activity diagram of FIG. 5 shows an example in which a setting operation for the first reception period is performed on a seller user terminal, and the server device 10 accepts and sets the first reception period (activity A101 to activity A103). Note that, unlike this, a mode in which the server device 10 automatically sets (first setting) the first reception period and the like without involving an operation on the seller user terminal may also be adopted as an example of this embodiment. Below, the mode in which the setting operation for the first reception period is performed on a seller user terminal will be described while showing an operation screen displayed on the seller user terminal and the like.

[0051] In an exemplary embodiment, input screens such as those shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 below are displayed on a seller-side user terminal. FIG. 6 is an example of a screen displayed on a seller-side user terminal. FIG. 7 is an example of a screen displayed on a seller-side user terminal. The screens shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 are operation screens that allow a seller-side user to register an organization that is the subject of a transaction (e.g., an organization that the seller wishes to sell) as a transaction proposal. The screen shown in FIG. 6 provides a form F1 for entering the title of the proposal, a form F2 for entering business details, and a form F3 for entering the location of the organization. A seller-side user who accesses the screen shown in FIG. 6 can register information about the organization that is the subject of a transaction by entering specified information into these forms.

[0052] The "Project Title" field shown in FIG. 6 is used to input a title or the like to describe the organization (the organization being the target of a transaction, such as a sale). Such a "Project Title" may provide an overview of the organization being the target of the transaction. In this embodiment, since the buyer user will later request name clearance, typically, information that can identify a specific organization is not entered as the "Project Title." The "Business Description" field shown in FIG. 6 may be information indicating the category or attributes of the organization being the target of the transaction. While the "Business Description" may be entered by the user in text format, it may also be entered (selected) using pre-prepared tags, options, or the like. For example, when Form F2 is operated, a group of such tags may be displayed to the seller user, and the tags to be entered into Form F2 may be determined based on the seller user's selection of a portion of this group of tags. The "Location" field shown in FIG. 6 may be entered in a predetermined region, such as "South Kanto," or by prefecture or municipality.

[0053] When registering a transaction target organization, input of information other than that shown in FIG. 6 may be required. For example, in addition to the various items described above, input of information such as the transaction acceptance status, the person in charge of the transaction, the organization's industry, the organization's size, the intention for the transaction, and the organization's financial information may be required. Here, the "transaction acceptance status" may be information indicating whether the seller (seller U2) has accepted the transaction from the organization's seller (seller U1). Furthermore, the "transaction person in charge" may refer to a specific person in seller U1 or seller's agent U2 who is responsible for the sale of the organization. The "organization size" may refer to information such as the number of employees, the number of business locations, and the number of stores. The "intention for the transaction" may include information such as the reason for the transaction (e.g., sale), the key points to consider in the transaction (e.g., sale), the purpose of the transaction (e.g., sale), the background of the transaction (e.g., sale), the desired terms of the transaction (e.g., sale), and the desired timing of the transaction (e.g., sale). "Financial information of the organization" may include information on the balance sheet, cash and deposits, total assets and interest-bearing liabilities, total liabilities, net assets, income statement, various types of sales (sales for the previous year, etc.), operating profit, ordinary profit, net profit for the current period, depreciation, EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization), executive compensation, etc. Of course, the buyer-side user may be asked to input various other useful information when considering a transaction such as the acquisition of an organization, even if it is not shown here.

[0054] In the example screen shown in Figure 6, information regarding a predetermined period can be entered in response to an input in the "Project Format" field. For example, in form F4, selecting the option "Specified Period" in a pull-down menu may enable input of information regarding the period into various forms such as forms F41 to F44. On the other hand, if an option that does not specify a period is selected in form F4, control may be exercised to prevent forms F41 to F44 from being displayed, or to prevent input of information into the forms.

[0055] In the present embodiment, the setting unit 111 may set a first setting for the organization that is the trading target based on the input of information about such a period. Here, the first setting is a setting for a first acceptance period corresponding to a period during which name clearance requests for the organization are accepted from buyer users.

[0056] Specifically, form F42 is configured so that a seller user can input a period during which a buyer user can request name clearance for the organization as a "name clearance request acceptance period." By inputting a predetermined period into form F42, the seller user can specify the aforementioned first acceptance period. Note that various settings, including the first setting described here, may be set by the setting unit 111 after the button BT2 shown in FIG. 7 is pressed. Note that when button BT2 is pressed and the setting unit 111 makes the predetermined settings, a screen or the like may be displayed that requests the seller user, etc., to confirm the contents, and the setting process may be performed after this confirmation.

[0057] In this embodiment, the setting unit 111 may be configured to further set a third setting for the organization. Here, the third setting is a setting for a second reception period corresponding to a period during which a request for negotiation from a buyer user to a seller user is received.

[0058] Specifically, form F41 is configured to allow a seller user to input a period during which the seller user will accept negotiation requests for the organization from buyer users as a "negotiation request acceptance period." By inputting a predetermined period into form F41, the seller user can specify the aforementioned second acceptance period. At the end of the set second acceptance period, the setting unit 111 may change the status of the case to a predetermined status (e.g., "new acceptance suspended") indicating that new negotiation requests will not be accepted. In one embodiment, after a negotiation request to the seller user is approved, the buyer user may be able to send a name clearance request and their desired conditions. From this perspective, the end of the second acceptance period may be set earlier than the end of the first acceptance period. If these end periods do not satisfy the relevant conditions, an error may be displayed (the setting may be disabled). Furthermore, as will be described later, a request for negotiation to a seller user may be made based on an operation on the screen of the buyer user's terminal.

[0059] In the present embodiment, the setting unit 111 may be configured to further set a fourth setting for the organization, where the fourth setting is a setting for a period during which the seller user must decide on and / or respond to a request for name clearance.

[0060] Specifically, form F43 is configured to input a "name clearance decision period" that specifies the period during which the seller user must decide whether to accept the name clearance request from the buyer user. Form F44 is configured to input a "name clearance response period" that specifies the period during which the seller user must respond to the name clearance request from the buyer user. By inputting a specified period into form F43 or form F44, the seller user can specify the various periods described above. As described below, the period related to setting 4 may be associated with an organization and displayed to the buyer user. Displaying the period related to setting 4 to the buyer user in this manner allows the buyer user to know when they can expect to receive a response from the seller user, which facilitates stable negotiations between the seller user and the buyer user.

[0061] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the receiving unit 112 receives a name clearance request from a buyer user and the buyer user's desired conditions during the first reception period described above. However, the setting unit 111 may further perform a setting for the questions entered by the seller user as a second setting. That is, when such a setting is performed, the receiving unit 112 may accept the buyer user's desired conditions as answers to the questions. Note that, based on the seller user's operation, the setting unit 111 may set one or more questions selected by the seller user from among the questions entered by the seller user to questions requiring a response from the buyer user. In this case, the buyer user may not be able to request name clearance unless he or she enters a response to the required question. On the other hand, based on the seller user's operation, the setting unit 111 may set one or more questions selected by the seller user to questions to which the buyer user may optionally answer.

[0062] The operation relating to such second setting will be described with reference to Fig. 7. The example screen shown in Fig. 7 shows a state in which predetermined information has been entered into forms F51 to F53 in accordance with an item "Question 1." The example screen shown in Fig. 7 also shows a state in which predetermined information has been entered into forms F61 to F65 in accordance with an item "Question 2." While Fig. 7 shows an example in which settings relating to two questions have been made, it is also possible to increase the number of questions, for example, by pressing button BT1. Although not shown, an operation to reduce the number of questions may also be possible.

[0063] 7 shows an input state of questions regarding aspects such as "Background of interest in the project" and "Method of calculating the acquisition price," but the content of the questions input by the seller-side user may be arbitrary. For example, in addition to the questions shown in FIG. 7, the seller-side user can input questions regarding whether the organization's executives will be retained, whether the organization's employees will be retained, whether the organization's name will be maintained, the amount of the organization's acquisition (transaction), the format of the organization's acquisition (transaction), the timing of the organization's acquisition (transaction), changes after the succession, treatment of executives, the business scale of the buyer-side user, the timing of the buyer-side user's establishment, etc.

[0064] Furthermore, the seller user can also input the seller user's desired conditions in association with the input question. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the form F52 and the form F62 show the seller's wishes (the seller user's desired conditions) input. In this state, by pressing button BT2, the setting unit 111 can further set the seller user's desired conditions related to the question as a second setting. When such a second setting is made, predetermined control may be performed on the screen displayed to the buyer user and the seller user, which will be explained later.

[0065] Furthermore, the seller user can also enter information (conditions) regarding the answer format in association with the entered question. In the example of the screen shown in FIG. 7, form F53 and form F63 are configured to allow the answer type to be specified. In such form F53 and form F63, the answer may be specified to be in text format or in multiple-choice format (pull-down format, radio button format, etc.). Form F64 and form F65 are fields in which the content of options can be set when the answer is in multiple-choice format. Furthermore, the setting unit 111 may set a text input field (supplemental comment field) in association with a question in which the answer is in multiple-choice format, for the buyer user to enter supplemental information. In the example shown in FIG. 7, form F63 shows an example in which the buyer user's answer is in multiple-choice format (pull-down format), and the answer format is selected as the mode for inputting supplemental information (supplemental comments). In this way, by inputting information regarding the answer format into various forms based on the seller user's operation and then pressing button BT2, the setting unit 111 can set the answer to the question to be in text format and / or multiple choice format.

[0066] In the above example, the seller user inputs a question, but the buyer user's desired conditions may be accepted regardless of the seller user's input. For example, the buyer user's desired conditions may be accepted by presenting a preset question to the buyer user.

[0067] By inputting the above-described various information and then pressing button BT2, the registration unit 110 registers a case for the corresponding organization (the organization is registered as a case on the platform). Furthermore, when the various settings described above have been configured, the setting unit 111 executes a process for making the corresponding settings for the registered organization. Regarding the registration of such an organization (case), in an exemplary embodiment, the system may be configured to allow seller users to change various settings during the first reception period. For example, during the first reception period, the content of the second setting (the content of the question) and the content of the fourth setting (the period related to the fourth setting) may be changed by operation of the seller user. In another embodiment, the period once set may not be changed. Even when the period cannot be changed in this way, the system may be configured to allow the period to be changed if certain conditions are met (for example, when the number of name clearing requests from buyer users is small, or when the seller user does not take any action).

[0068] After the first setting and other settings have been configured in this manner, the reception unit 112 of the server device 10 receives a name clear request from the buyer user and the buyer user's desired conditions during the first reception period. This reception process may be executed, for example, as follows. That is, first, information about the organization may be displayed on the screen of the buyer user's terminal, and the reception process may be executed by the buyer user performing operations on that screen (activity A104 to activity A106). Below, the operation screens and other elements related to the name clear request will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0069] FIG. 8 is an example of a screen displayed on a buyer-side user terminal. As shown in the example screen in FIG. 8, a case registered on the platform may be displayed on the buyer-side user terminal. In the example screen shown in FIG. 8, a plurality of cases, including the case for which the first setting has been performed, are displayed in a list format. When a buyer-side user views such a screen, the user can click on an area corresponding to the case in which the user is interested, thereby accessing a page showing details of the case (screen transition) or proceeding with negotiations, etc.

[0070] When displaying a screen showing such a case, the following configuration may be adopted: That is, the display control unit 113 of this embodiment may display to the buyer user organizations for which the first reception period has been set in a manner different from organizations for which the first reception period has not been set.

[0071] 8, for case C1, for which a first reception period has been set, a predetermined label LB is displayed in the area representing the case, while for case C2, for which a first reception period has not been set, such a label is not displayed. In this way, by changing the display mode of the case (which may be read as a seller user or organization) depending on whether or not a first reception period has been set, a buyer user can accurately grasp the case, etc. for which a first reception period has been set.

[0072] Furthermore, the display control unit 113 may display information indicating the end of the first acceptance period to the buyer user in a format according to the length of time remaining until the end.

[0073] In the example screen shown in FIG. 8, for case C1, which has 10 days left until the end of the first acceptance period, the label LB indicating the number of remaining days is colored, while for case C3, which has 20 days left until the end of the first acceptance period, the label LB indicating the number of remaining days is not colored. By varying the display mode of the information indicating the end of the first acceptance period of a case in this way depending on the length of time until the end of the first acceptance period, buyer users can more visually understand the settings for the first acceptance period, etc. Furthermore, for emails (e.g., emails proposing an offer) sent from seller users via the platform or from the platform to buyer users' devices, information indicating that the offer is an offer with a first acceptance period set (an offer open for applications for a limited time) may be automatically added to the body of the email, etc.

[0074] Examples of such control of the display mode include changing the color tone of a column or range indicating the target case, organization, etc., or adding a predetermined tag or mark. Other examples include, but are not limited to, changing the font of text indicating the target case, organization, etc. In other words, a display control means for highlighting a predetermined part on the screen may be used as a means for identifying such cases, organizations, etc.

[0075] In an exemplary embodiment, a buyer user viewing the screen shown in FIG. 8 can transition to a screen showing details of a specific project by clicking on an area showing the specific project. FIG. 9 is an example of a screen displayed on a buyer user terminal. As shown in the example screen of FIG. 9, the buyer user terminal may display the details of a project registered by a seller user. On a screen displaying the details of such a project, information such as the "project title," "business content," and "location" described above may be displayed. In addition, various periods related to the first, third, and fourth settings set by the seller user may be displayed. After confirming the details of the project, the buyer user can operate button BT3 to proceed with negotiations with the seller user.

[0076] The following aspect may be adopted for the screen for making such a negotiation request. That is, the display control unit 113 may cause the buyer user to display a screen for identifying the seller user making the negotiation request. Here, on the screen displayed by the display control unit 113, organizations for which a first reception period has been set may be displayed in a different manner from organizations for which a first reception period has not been set.

[0077] That is, in a screen for identifying a seller user requesting negotiations, as shown in FIG. 9, the content of the screen may be controlled based on whether or not a first reception period has been set. For example, the display mode may be controlled based on any display control means related to the project, organization, etc., as described above. For example, for a project (organization) for which a first reception period has been set, display control may be performed, such as changing the color tone of the screen or text, or adding a predetermined tag or mark. In the example shown in FIG. 9, a predetermined label LB is added to the screen, similar to the screen shown in FIG. 8. This allows a buyer user to appropriately confirm the settings made by the user with whom they are negotiating. Furthermore, when a negotiation request is made, the response content to the negotiation request may be controlled to differ depending on whether the first reception period has been set or not. In other words, the screen design may be controlled to be different in both cases, where the first reception period has been set and where the first reception period has not been set. In a typical example, the response content may be different when button BT3 is pressed. For example, in a case where a first reception period is set, when a buyer user requests negotiations (when button BT3 is pressed), a screen for inputting the buyer user's desired conditions may be automatically displayed. On the other hand, in a case where a first reception period is not set, control may be exercised so that the screen for inputting such desired conditions is not displayed (as an example, control may be exercised so that when button BT3 is pressed, a transition to a screen that enables the sending and receiving of messages as described above is made). In this way, by varying the screen design depending on whether or not the first reception period is set, the buyer user can smoothly proceed with the processing of transactions such as the acquisition of an organization.

[0078] After a request for negotiation is made, the following process may be performed. FIG. 10 is an example of a screen displayed on a buyer-side user terminal. The screen shown in FIG. 10 is configured to enable a buyer-side user and a seller-side user to exchange messages in an interactive (chat) format. When the previously described button BT3 is pressed, a message MS1 may be automatically sent, for example. The seller-side user who receives such a message MS1 can then prompt the buyer-side user to enter predetermined information by sending a message MS2, a message MS3, or the like. Note that the example shown in FIG. 10 illustrates a situation in which a person acting as an agent for a seller of an organization (seller agent U2) is in charge of negotiations with a buyer-side user as a seller-side user, but the seller U1 (seller) of the organization may also exchange such messages. Furthermore, on the screen that enables a buyer-side user and a seller-side user to exchange messages in an interactive format, various negotiations (message exchanges) related to the transaction (not shown in the figure) may be performed.

[0079] A buyer user who receives message MS3 can respond to the request for a response regarding name clearing by pressing button BT4. The request for a response regarding name clearing sent from a seller user to a buyer user may be sent automatically after the buyer user requests negotiation with the seller user. FIG. 11 is an example of a screen displayed on a buyer user terminal. The screen shown in FIG. 11 shows a side panel displaying questions from the seller and forms (form F71, form F72, form F73) for answering the questions. Such a side panel may be controlled to be displayed based on pressing button BT4 on the screen shown in FIG. 10.

[0080] A buyer user who sees the screen shown in FIG. 11 can request a name clear from a seller user by entering their own answers in forms F71, F72, F73, etc., and then pressing button BT5. In other words, the first reception step in this embodiment accepts a name clear request from a buyer user and their desired conditions during a first reception period. The buyer user's desired conditions here correspond to the information entered in each form. Then, by entering predetermined information in each form and pressing button BT4, the reception unit 112 of the server device 10 can accept both the name clear request and the buyer user's desired conditions. Note that the system may be configured to not accept such a name clear request and the buyer user's desired conditions if the first reception period has elapsed. On the other hand, during the first acceptance period, the system may be configured to accept the buyer user's withdrawal of the name clear request or the amendment of the content of the buyer user's desired conditions.

[0081] In this manner, when accepting the buyer user's desired conditions, the seller user's desired conditions may be displayed to the buyer user along with the question. That is, in the example screen shown in FIG. 11, the seller user's desired conditions (seller's wishes) are displayed in association with each question. Such seller user's desired conditions may be associated with the content set by the setting unit 111 as the second setting. That is, the content entered in form F52 or form F62 in FIG. 7 may be displayed when the buyer user approaches the question. This allows the buyer user to indicate his or her desired conditions while understanding the needs of the seller user.

[0082] Here, we will explain the operations performed by the seller user regarding such a name clearing request. FIG. 12 is an example of a screen displayed on the seller user terminal. As described above, when the buyer user presses button BT3, message MS1 is automatically sent, for example. In response to this, the seller user who receives message MS1 can send a message (reply) to the buyer user by entering predetermined text in field CL2 and pressing button BT9. Separately, when communicating between the buyer user and the seller user, the seller user can send predetermined content to the buyer user by operating buttons, etc., provided in field CL1. For example, if seller agent U2 is a seller user, by pressing the "Acquisition Complete" button (button BT6), the seller agent can record that he or she has obtained consent to the name clearing request from seller U1 of the organization with which the transaction is made, using a communication means outside the system (e.g., telephone or email), and can send a message to the buyer user informing him or her of this. For example, pressing the "Acquisition Complete" button (button BT6) may trigger an automatic transmission of a notification to the buyer user that the name clearance request has been accepted. If the seller U1 does not accept the name clearance request, pressing button BT7 may send a message to the buyer user indicating that the name clearance is not possible (or negotiations are not possible). Pressing button BT8 may send (automatically transmit) a message prompting a response request, such as message MS2 or message MS3 in FIG. 10, to the buyer user. Such automatically transmitted content may be a single message or a combination of two or more messages. An object, such as button BT4, that allows the buyer user to perform a specified operation may also be displayed in association with the message. Such message transmission may also occur after the name clearance has been completed. This allows various communications regarding organizational buying and selling between the buyer user and the seller user.

[0083] Furthermore, the display control unit 113 of this embodiment may display statistical information and / or desired conditions regarding users who have already requested name clearance to the buyer user during the first reception period. That is, the example shown in FIG. 9 displays the number of users who have already requested name clearance. By displaying statistical information and desired conditions regarding users who have already requested name clearance, the buyer user can efficiently determine whether to request name clearance for the target organization. The statistical information may represent the total number of users who have requested name clearance, as well as the number of users with certain attributes (business size, number of employees, industry, etc.). The desired conditions may be statistics (average, distribution, etc. of responses) regarding the desired conditions of the buyer users received by the reception unit 112. When displaying such statistical information and desired conditions, the display control unit 113 may display, as appropriate, tables, graphs, images, etc., in addition to the text shown in FIG. 9. As an example, such display content (statistical information and desired conditions) can be determined by substituting the input content (desired conditions, etc.) by the buyer user into a preset relational expression. Furthermore, the display control unit 113 may automatically update the display content at predetermined time intervals, or may update the display content in real time in response to actions such as viewing by other users, adding to favorites, or requesting name clearing. For example, the display control unit 113 may control the display to dynamically display text such as "XX Company is currently under consideration." Furthermore, the display control unit 113 may control the display mode of this statistical information to change as the end of the first acceptance period approaches, for example, to highlight numbers included in the statistical information.

[0084] After a buyer user requests name clearing in this manner, the display control unit 113 displays the buyer user who requested name clearing and the buyer user's desired conditions on the screen of the seller user's terminal (activity A107, activity A108). Based on the function of the display control unit 113, this embodiment can also be configured so that the seller user can specify, through operation on the screen of the seller user's terminal, a buyer user who will accept the name clearing request from among the buyer users who requested name clearing during the first acceptance period. Below, a description is given of the screen that can be displayed to the seller user.

[0085] Fig. 13 is an example of a screen displayed on a seller user terminal. Fig. 14 is an example of a screen displayed on a seller user terminal. The screen shown in Fig. 13 shows the seller user a list of buyer users who requested name clearing during the first reception period. In addition, this screen shows the buyer user's desired conditions in association with the buyer user who requested name clearing as answers to questions set by the seller user.

[0086] When displaying buyer users who have requested name clearance, if the setting unit 111 sets the seller user's desired conditions as the second setting, the display control unit 113 may display the seller user's desired conditions in association with the buyer user's desired conditions on the screen of the seller user's terminal. For example, this screen displayed on the seller user's terminal displays a list of buyer users who have requested name clearance, and typically displays the desired conditions set by the seller user, the desired conditions entered by each buyer user, and comments, etc., entered by the seller user in response to those conditions, in a comparable manner. The desired conditions and comments may be set and entered by the seller U1 or buyer U3 themselves, as well as by the seller agent U2 or buyer agent U4. That is, in the example shown in FIG. 13, the desired conditions set by the seller user are displayed as "seller's wishes" for each question. That is, when a seller user sees such a screen, the seller user can easily select a buyer user to perform name clearing by comparing his / her desired conditions with the desired conditions of the buyer user who has requested name clearing.

[0087] In this embodiment, the seller user may be configured to be able to designate, via an operation on the screen of the seller user's terminal, a buyer user who will accept the name clearance request from among the buyer users who requested name clearance during the first acceptance period. The screen for designating such a buyer user may be set arbitrarily. In one aspect, such designation may be possible on a screen displaying the buyer user who requested name clearance. Meanwhile, in another aspect, such designation may be possible on a screen different from the screen displaying the buyer user who requested name clearance. The manner in which the specific name of the organization is disclosed may be set as appropriate. For example, a company profile (IM; Information Memorandum) containing details of the organization of the transaction may be sent or made viewable to the buyer user who accepts the name clearance request, thereby enabling the buyer user to ascertain the name of the organization. The company profile may be provided in an electronic file format such as a PDF, or by sending a URL (link) to a web page where the company profile can be viewed. When sending a URL (link) as in the latter case, the server device 10 can also control the linked web page to display additional questions regarding the transaction to the buyer user and request the buyer user to provide answers.

[0088] Furthermore, the display control unit 113 may identify whether the seller user displaying the list screen of buyer users who have requested name clearing is the seller (seller U1) of the organization being transacted with or the seller agent U2, and may control the display content and format to be different based on the identification result. For example, the screen displayed on the terminal of seller agent U2 may display responses from all buyer users, while the screen displayed on the terminal of seller U1 may display additional information such as comments and ratings added by seller agent U2 for each buyer user in association with the responses of the buyer users.

[0089] The seller user's designation of the buyer user may be configured, for example, as follows. That is, the display control unit 113 may display a first object on the screen of the seller user's terminal in association with each buyer user who has requested name clearance. Then, the receiving unit 112 may receive designation to designate the buyer user whose first object has been operated by the seller user as the buyer user who accepts the name clearance request. For example, the display control unit 113 may display, for each buyer user, operation objects, such as an "OK" button and an "NG" button, individually indicating whether or not the name clearance request is accepted. Specifically, the example shown in FIG. 13 illustrates an aspect in which an object OBJ2 is displayed in the column representing the name of the company that has requested name clearance. The receiving unit 112 can register the seller user's decision regarding the name clearance request by accepting the operation of these buttons (object OBJ2). Note that the seller user's operation of the "OK" button or the "NG" button may be accepted at any time during the name clearing judgment period set as the fourth setting. Furthermore, the input accepted during this judgment period may be retained as a provisional judgment, and the input content at that time may be confirmed as the final judgment after the judgment period ends. The confirmed judgment may then be notified to the buyer user during the subsequent name clearing response period. Note that the seller user's judgment may be notified to the buyer user (buyer U3 and / or buyer agent U4) when the judgment is registered (e.g., when the "OK" button or the "NG" button is accepted). Furthermore, the seller user's judgment may be notified to the platform operator, etc., when the judgment is registered (e.g., when the "OK" button or the "NG" button is accepted).

[0090] In addition, in the example screen shown in FIG. 13, a check box (object OBJ1) is provided associated with each buyer user. The buyer user who will perform name clearance may be determined based on an operation on such a check box. That is, a seller user viewing the screen shown in FIG. 13 can specify the buyer users who will accept the name clearance request based on an operation on such a check box. As an example, a seller user can create a list of buyer users who will accept the name clearance request based on an operation on such a check box. For example, the seller user can proceed with the name clearance process while checking such a list. Note that a separate object for proceeding with the name clearance process may be provided on the screen shown in FIG. 13, etc. For example, by checking the above-mentioned check box and then operating the object that proceeds with such a process, various information related to the organization's name clearance may be sent to the buyer user who checked the check box. To explain using a specific example, this check box (object OBJ1) can be used to select one or more buyer users who will accept the name clearance request, and by performing a specified operation (for example, pressing the "Send all at once" button), a common message regarding the sending of the company profile can be sent all at once to the terminals of the one or more selected buyer users.

[0091] Furthermore, the display control unit 113 may be configured to generate information including the desired conditions of one or more buyer users received by the receiving unit 112 (for example, a list of buyer users who have requested name clearing) as a document in a predetermined file format, such as CSV or PDF format, based on the operation of the seller user, and download the information to the seller user's terminal. For example, the display control unit 113 may be configured to select one or more buyer users based on the operation of object OBJ1, and then operate object OBJ3 to download a document summarizing the desired conditions, etc., of the selected buyer users.

[0092] The screen shown in FIG. 13 shows buyer users who have accepted a name clear request after the first acceptance period has passed. Meanwhile, seller users may be allowed to display buyer users who have accepted a name clear request during the first acceptance period. Even during this display during the first acceptance period, the buyer users' desired conditions may be displayed in association with the buyer users, as appropriate. The name clearing process may be controlled to be executable, for example, during the period related to the fourth setting described above. Furthermore, in preparation for cases where a large number of buyer users have requested name clearing, the display control unit 113 may be configured to sort the display order of the list of buyer users displayed in a list based on a predetermined condition, or to filter the list based on a specific condition (e.g., whether or not the seller user has accepted the request, or the degree of match with the desired conditions described below) based on the seller user's operation. Furthermore, the display control unit 113 may be configured to generate a screen that displays only the responses of the buyer-side users when the seller-side user selects multiple buyer-side users of particular interest from the list. Furthermore, the display control unit 113 may display a tab-style interface for switching the list of buyer-side users to be displayed by multiple categories (e.g., "Companies Applying for Advance Negotiations," "Companies Desired to Negotiate," "List of Responses to Name Clearance Requests," etc.) based on the seller-side user's operation. In the example shown in FIG. 13 , a tab TB is displayed, and the list category is switched by operating this tab. Specifically, when the seller-side user selects a category, only buyer-side users matching that category may be filtered and displayed. For example, when the tab for the "Companies Desired to Negotiate" category is selected (when "Companies Desired to Negotiate" is selected by operating the tab TB), buyer-side users who have already requested negotiations but have not yet completed their responses to the name clearing request may be extracted and displayed in a list, and a function may be provided to send a message to the buyer-side user to encourage them to respond to the name clearing response request.

[0093] Furthermore, when displaying a buyer user who has requested name clearing in this manner, the following configuration may be adopted. That is, when the setting unit 111 sets the seller user's desired conditions as the second setting, the generation unit 114 may generate first generated information that indicates the association between the seller user's desired conditions and the buyer user's desired conditions based on the seller user's desired conditions, the buyer user's desired conditions, and the first reference information. Then, the display control unit 113 may further display the first generated information on the screen of the seller user's terminal.

[0094] That is, in the example screen shown in FIG. 13, information indicating the relationship between the seller user's desired conditions and the buyer user's desired conditions is displayed as items such as "match degree" and "match." The "match degree" may be a score indicating the degree to which the desired conditions of both parties are correlated. On the other hand, the "match" item may indicate whether the buyer user's desired conditions match the seller user's desired conditions. Such an item such as "match" may typically be used as a second setting, and such evaluation results may be adopted when accepting the buyer user's desired conditions in a selection format.

[0095] Such information may be generated using so-called rule-based information as the first reference information, but is typically preferably generated as follows. That is, in this embodiment, the first reference information may include a learning model that has been machine-learned so as to be able to input the desired conditions of the seller user and the buyer user and output the first generation information, or a first generation model that is a generation AI. If the first generation model includes a learning model, the generation unit 114 may input at least the desired conditions of the seller user and the buyer user to the first generation model and execute a process to cause the first generation model to output the first generation information. On the other hand, if the first generation model includes a generation AI, the generation unit 114 may execute a process to issue an instruction to create the first generation information based on at least the desired conditions of the seller user and the buyer user, and to input the desired conditions of the seller user and the buyer user to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to output the first generation information.

[0096] According to one embodiment, output content based on the function of a generation AI or the like may be displayed as the first generation information on the screen of the seller user's terminal. That is, while FIG. 13 displays information such as a score (match degree) indicating the relationship and an evaluation (match) indicating whether the conditions match, for example, text, graphs, images, videos, etc. indicating the relationship between the seller user's desired conditions and the buyer user's desired conditions may be generated. By accessing such information, the seller user can efficiently select the target buyer user when accepting a name clearing request.

[0097] Note that, when performing output based on the function of such a generation AI or the like, the following processing may be performed. That is, the generation unit 114 may input to the model an instruction to output predetermined output content based on predetermined input content and a prompt in which the input content has been inserted, and cause the model to output the output content. Furthermore, the generation unit 114 may input to the model, in addition to the output instruction and the input content, a prompt in which, for example, one or more input content samples and one or more corresponding output content samples have been inserted. Such processing may be performed when generating the second generation information and the third generation information in addition to the first generation information.

[0098] Furthermore, the generation unit 114 may generate second generation information that the seller user uses as a reference when considering name clearing, based on the buyer user's desired conditions and / or registration information about the buyer user and the second reference information. Then, the display control unit 113 may further display the second generation information on the screen of the seller user's terminal.

[0099] In other words, the first generated information described above was based on the premise of at least referring to the seller user's desired conditions, but it is also possible to generate information related to the buyer user without relying on the seller user's desired conditions and display this on the screen of the seller user's terminal.

[0100] The second reference information may include a second generation model that is a learning model that has been machine-learned so as to be able to input the buyer user's desired conditions and / or registration information about the buyer user as input and output the second generation information, or a generation AI. If the second generation model includes a learning model, the generation unit 114 may execute a process of inputting at least the buyer user's desired conditions and / or registration information about the buyer user into the second generation model and causing the second generation model to output the second generation information. On the other hand, if the second generation model includes a generation AI, the generation unit 114 may execute a process of inputting at least an instruction to create the second generation information based on the buyer user's desired conditions and / or registration information about the buyer user into the generation AI and causing the generation AI to output the second generation information.

[0101] According to one embodiment, output content based on the functions of the generation AI or the like may be displayed on the screen of the seller user's terminal as the second generation information. For example, text, graphs, images, videos, etc. representing the characteristics, attributes, etc. of the buyer user may be generated. By accessing such information, the seller user can efficiently select the target buyer user when agreeing to name clearing.

[0102] Such second generated information may be, for example, information as shown in FIG. 14. The screen shown in FIG. 14 displays various graphs related to the organization and the buyer-side users, such as a "market value range," "buyer attributes," and "demand heat map." The "market value range" graph may compare the buyer-side users' desired conditions and market values ​​based on various calculation methods. Such market values ​​may be calculated based on registered information about the organization. The "buyer attributes" graph may represent the distribution of attributes of buyer-side users who have requested name clearance. The "demand heat map" graph may also represent a matrix of the buyer-side users' industries and business scales, showing in which areas users have made the most name clearance requests. Seller-side users can also use these graphs as a reference when considering whether to accept a name clearance request. In the example screen shown in Figure 14, the "number of views" indicates the number of buyer users who accessed the page of the target organization, and the "number of offers" indicates the number of buyer users who requested name clearance. Note that the "number of offers" here may also indicate the number of buyer users who requested negotiation, as shown above. By viewing such a screen, seller users can accurately consider which buyer users to clear names for.

[0103] 13 and 14, the generation unit 114 may generate third generated information that indicates the association between the organization and the buyer-side user based on the registration information about the organization, the registration information about the buyer-side user, and the third reference information. Then, the display control unit 113 may further display the third generated information on the screen of the terminal of the seller-side user.

[0104] That is, while the first generated information was based on at least the seller user's desired conditions, predetermined information may be generated based on registration information about the organization and registration information about the buyer user, regardless of the seller user's desired conditions. This information may represent the relationship between the organization and the buyer user. Such information may then be displayed on the screen of the seller user's terminal.

[0105] The third reference information may include a learning model that has been machine-learned to receive registration information about the organization and registration information about the buyer-side users as input and be capable of outputting the third generation information, or a third generation model that is a generation AI. If the third generation model includes a learning model, the generation unit 114 may execute a process of inputting at least the registration information about the organization and the registration information about the buyer-side users into the third generation model and causing the third generation model to output the third generation information. On the other hand, if the third generation model includes a generation AI, the generation unit 114 may execute a process of issuing an instruction to create the third generation information based on at least the registration information about the organization and the registration information about the buyer-side users, and inputting the registration information about the organization and the registration information about the buyer-side users into the generation AI and causing the generation AI to output the third generation information.

[0106] According to one embodiment, the third generation information may be output based on the functions of a generation AI or the like and displayed on the screen of the seller user's terminal. For example, text, graphs, images, videos, etc., showing the relationship between the organization and the buyer user may be generated. By accessing such information, the seller user can efficiently select the target buyer user when agreeing to name clearing.

[0107] As an example, the generation unit 114 of the server device 10 can generate, as the third generation information, information regarding synergies that will be generated if a specific buyer-side user acquires an organization based on various registration information. Here, "synergies" may refer to the effects that will be generated if the organization being traded is purchased by a specific buyer-side user. For example, by generating a statement regarding synergies and presenting this to the seller-side user, the buyer-side user who will perform name clearance can be appropriately selected.

[0108] Furthermore, with regard to the information processing method of this embodiment, the following information may be generated.

[0109] That is, the generation unit 114 may generate a report including reference information for the buyer user to consider requesting name clearance based on at least the registration information regarding the organization and / or the registration information regarding the seller user and the fourth reference information. Such a report may be referred to as fourth generated information. Then, the display control unit 113 may display the report on the screen of the buyer user's terminal together with the registration information regarding the organization and / or the registration information regarding the seller user.

[0110] The fourth reference information may include a fourth generation model, which is a learning model or a generation AI that has been machine-learned to receive registration information about an organization and / or registration information about a seller-side user as input and be capable of outputting a report including reference information. When the fourth generation model includes a learning model, the generation unit 114 may execute a process of inputting at least the registration information about the organization and / or the registration information about the seller-side user into the fourth generation model and causing the fourth generation model to output a report including reference information (fourth generation information). On the other hand, when the fourth generation model includes a generation AI, the generation unit 114 may execute a process of inputting an instruction to create the fourth generation information based on at least the registration information about the organization and / or the registration information about the seller-side user, and the seller-side user's desired conditions and / or the registration information about the seller-side user into the generation AI and causing the generation AI to output a report including reference information (fourth generation information).

[0111] Here, the report including the reference information may include, for example, an outline of the project, including the organization's business activities, business flow (commercial flow diagram), a summary of financial information, etc. The report may also include the seller's desired conditions (e.g., desired price and continued employment of employees), a transaction schedule, etc. In addition to the registered information regarding the organization and / or the registered information regarding the seller, information obtained by the person in charge of the transaction through an individual interview with the seller, or information such as the organization's financial statements, may be input into the fourth generation model, and a process may be executed to output a report including the corresponding reference information. The report including the reference information may be prepared by the registration unit 110 receiving a report manually created by the seller.

[0112] According to one embodiment, a report output based on the function of the generation AI or the like may be displayed on the screen of the buyer user's terminal as the fourth generation information. By accessing such information, the buyer user can efficiently determine whether to request name clearance.

[0113] As described above, according to this embodiment, a first acceptance period is set for accepting requests for name clearing from buyer users, thereby efficiently encouraging buyer users to request name clearing. Furthermore, when accepting such requests, the buyer users' desired conditions are also accepted, allowing seller users to appropriately select buyer users who will perform name clearing, which facilitates efficient sales of organizations. As a result, the information processing method of this embodiment can be said to facilitate smooth processing of transactions such as the sale of organizations.

[0114] 4.Other Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this and can be modified as appropriate within the scope of the technical idea of ​​the invention.

[0115] In the above embodiment, the server device 10 performs various storage and control functions. However, multiple external devices may be used instead of the server device 10. That is, various information and programs may be distributed and stored in multiple external devices using blockchain technology or the like. The artificial intelligence unit 116 may be an external component of the server device 10. In this case, the external artificial intelligence unit 116 may be provided, for example, by an artificial intelligence service server and configured to receive input from each functional unit of the server device 10, receive requests to execute an artificial intelligence service, and return the instructed output as a processing result to the server device 10. The artificial intelligence service server may provide a service using a language model as a learning model, or may perform language processing tasks using a language model, and may provide an LLM, a generative AI, or an AI agent. The artificial intelligence service server may receive prompt input, for example, in the form of text, image, or voice, and generate and respond to the prompt. The server device 10 may also cooperate with an API (Application Programming Interface) of a service server that provides the generative AI, etc., to utilize the generative AI, etc.
