[0010] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the embodiment described below does not unduly limit the contents of the present invention described in the claims. Furthermore, not all of the components shown in the embodiment are necessarily essential components of the present invention.

[0012] 1 is a diagram showing an example of the overall configuration of a transaction support system according to one embodiment of the present invention. The provision system of this embodiment is configured to include a server device 1. The server device 1 is communicatively connected to an inspection user terminal 2, a browsing user terminal 3, and an inspection device terminal 4 via a communication network NW. The communication network NW is, for example, the Internet, and is constructed by a public telephone line network, a mobile phone line network, a wireless communication path, Ethernet (registered trademark), etc.

[0013] The server device 1 is also connected to a blockchain network (Blockchain NW in FIG. 1) so that it can communicate with the network. The blockchain network is made up of multiple nodes (computers) and can manage ledger data in a distributed manner. The distributed ledger is managed in a way that makes it difficult to tamper with, using a so-called blockchain mechanism. Note that a detailed explanation of the distributed ledger management mechanism using blockchain is omitted here, as a general mechanism is used. The blockchain network can be built using, for example, Ethereum.

[0014] Tokens (Ethereum tokens) that can be issued by a blockchain network such as Ethereum include fungible tokens and non-fungible tokens (Non-Fungible Tokens: NFTs). An NFT is, for example, a token (also called an NFT-721 token) issued in accordance with the "ERC721" standard of Etherium, a blockchain network platform, and is a unit of data recorded on a blockchain network. It can be associated with an edition (ownership) of a digital product based on a unique identifier (NFT-ID) and has a non-fungible nature. An NFT can have unique value that is distinguished from other NFTs. In this embodiment, as an example, it is assumed that the NFT is an NFT-721 token. Like fungible tokens, NFTs can be traded on a blockchain network. The transaction history of an NFT is recorded on the blockchain network. In the distributed ledger of the blockchain network, the owner and ownership history of the NFT are also recorded.

[0015] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of the server device 1. Note that the illustrated configuration is an example, and other configurations may be used. The server device 1 includes a CPU 101, a memory 102, a storage device 103, a communication interface 104, an input device 105, and an output device 106. The storage device 103 is, for example, a hard disk drive, a solid state drive, or a flash memory that stores various data and programs. The communication interface 104 is an interface for connecting to the communication network 2, and is, for example, an adapter for connecting to Ethernet (registered trademark), a modem for connecting to a public telephone line network, a wireless communication device for wireless communication, a USB (Universal Serial Bus) connector or an RS232C connector for serial communication, etc. The input device 105 is, for example, a keyboard, a mouse, a touch panel, a button, a microphone, etc. that input data. The output device 106 is, for example, a display, a printer, a speaker, etc. that output data. Each functional unit of the server device 1, which will be described later, is realized by the CPU 101 reading a program stored in the storage device 103 into the memory 102 and executing it, and each storage unit of the server device 1 is realized as part of the storage area provided by the memory 102 and the storage device 103.

[0016] The server device 1 can receive the biological genetic information from the testing device terminal 4 and record the non-fungible token (hereinafter, "NFT") associated with the biological identifier or the like in the blockchain network. The NFT is, for example, a token issued in a standard called "ERC721" of Etherium, a blockchain network platform, and is a unit of data recorded in the blockchain network. It can be associated with an edition (ownership) of a digital product based on an ID and has a non-fungible nature. Since the NFT is recorded on the blockchain together with a smart contract and is traceable, it is possible to prove transaction information including details and history of the biological holder, the genetic information tester, etc. In addition, by using the smart contract here, a contract regarding a transaction between a platform operator and a user, or between multiple users, can be automatically generated, approved, and executed without the intervention of a third party.

[0017] == Test user terminal 2 == The test user terminal 2 is a computer operated by a user (hereinafter referred to as a test user) who is, for example, an owner of a living body and wishes to test the genetic information of the living body. For example, the test user terminal 2 is a smartphone, a tablet computer, a personal computer, etc. The test user can access the server device 1 by, for example, an application or a web browser executed on the test user terminal 2.

[0018] == Viewing user terminal 3 == The viewing user terminal 3 is a computer operated by a user (hereinafter referred to as a viewing user) who wishes to view genetic information of a living body and a pedigree. For example, it is a smartphone, a tablet computer, a personal computer, etc. The viewing user can access the server device 1 by, for example, an application or a web browser executed on the viewing user terminal 3.

[0019] The inspection user may also serve as the viewing user.

[0020] ==Inspection Equipment Terminal 4== The testing device terminal 4 is a computer that controls a testing device that tests genetic information of a living body. For example, it is a smartphone, a tablet computer, a personal computer, etc. A user of the testing device terminal 4 can access the server device 1 by, for example, an application or a web browser executed on the testing device terminal 4.

[0021] The testing device in this embodiment may be a device that tests genetic information of a living body, and may be, for example, a DNA sequencer, a next-generation sequencer, a DNA chip analysis device, or the like, but is not limited to these.

[0022] Fig. 3 is a functional block diagram of the server device 1 in Fig. 1. The server device 1 includes processing units, a user information acquisition unit 111, a biometric information acquisition unit 112, a genetic information acquisition unit 113, a pedigree creation unit 114, an art creation unit 115, an NFT issuance unit 116, a presentation unit 116, a trait simulation unit 118, a distribution unit 119, and a trading support unit 120, and storage units, a user information storage unit 131, a biometric information storage unit 132, a genetic information storage unit 133, a pedigree information storage unit 134, and an art storage unit 135.

[0023] The information stored in each of the user information storage unit 131, biometric information storage unit 132, genetic information storage unit 133, pedigree information storage unit 134, and art storage unit 135 will be described below.

[0024] The user information storage unit 131 stores information on the inspection user and the browsing user acquired by the user information acquisition unit 111. As shown in Fig. 4, the user information includes, for example, a name, an email address, an address, a telephone number, a bank account, a wallet address, credit card information, and the like, linked to a user ID, but is not limited to these.

[0025] The biometric information storage unit 132 stores information about a living body (hereinafter, may be referred to as an individual) held by the test user, acquired by the biometric information acquisition unit 112. As shown in Fig. 5, the biometric information includes, for example, information such as species, breed, name, date of birth, age, sex, parents, ancestors, height, weight, coat color, coat quality, chronic diseases, and an image of the living body, linked to a biometric ID, but is not limited to these.

[0026] In this embodiment, the living body may be, but is not limited to, a pet, livestock, farmed fish, etc. Also, the test user may be, but is not limited to, a pet owner, a livestock farmer, a farmer, etc.

[0027] The genetic information storage unit 133 stores information on the genetic information of a living body acquired by the genetic information acquisition unit 113. As shown in Fig. 6, the genetic information includes, for example, genome information linked to a living body ID, a base sequence of a specific portion, a base sequence of a sex-determining gene and a region adjacent thereto, SNPs, information on an examiner, and the like, but is not limited thereto. The genetic information may be in a format such as a FASTA file, a FASTQ file, an sra file, an ab1 file, a text file, and the like, but is not limited thereto.

[0028] The pedigree information storage unit 134 stores pedigree information generated by the pedigree generation unit 114. As shown in Fig. 7 as an example, the pedigree information includes, but is not limited to, the biological species, breed, name, date of birth, age, sex, parents, ancestors, height, weight, coat color, coat quality, chronic diseases, analysis ID, genetic information, phylogenetic tree, information on the analyst of the genetic information, rarity, user IDs of previous owners, and date and time of transfer to previous owners, linked to a user ID or a biological ID.

[0029] The art storage unit 135 stores the art generated by the art generation unit 115 .

[0030] The art of this embodiment includes images, videos, sounds, etc., and includes, but is not limited to, artworks, characters, digital items, etc. (hereinafter, referred to as content). In addition, the ownership of the art has a nature that it can be shared among multiple users. The ownership can be offered as multiple editions (for example, 100 items offered), and each edition is associated with an NFT-ID. Art purchased by a viewing user can be resold to other users by auction or other methods, and each time a viewing user acquires ownership of art, the user's name can be displayed on a digital signage attached to the art or on a web page related to the digital product.

[0031] The art of the present embodiment may be provided to a test user who is the owner of the biometric body linked to the art, a viewing user who has purchased the biometric body, or to a third party who desires it. The viewing user may be able to select the purchase of the art when purchasing the biometric body.

[0032] In addition, all or part of the pedigree information storage unit 134 and the art storage unit 135 may be provided on a blockchain network, and all or part of the pedigree information and art information may be managed in a distributed ledger. For example, the biological ID and genetic information stored in the pedigree storage unit 134 may be stored on the blockchain network, and information such as the biological species and breed may be stored in the storage medium of the server device 1.

[0033] The functions of each processing unit, i.e., the user information acquisition unit 111, the biometric information acquisition unit 112, the genetic information acquisition unit 113, the pedigree generation unit 114, the art generation unit 115, the NFT issuance unit 116, the presentation unit 116, the trait simulation unit 118, the distribution unit 119, and the buying and selling support unit 120, are described below.

[0034] For example, the user information acquiring unit 111 presents an input form for user information to the inspecting user terminal 2 or the browsing user terminal 3 via the network NW, and acquires user information based on the user's input. The communication in the transmission and reception may be either wired or wireless, and any communication protocol may be used as long as the communication between them can be performed.

[0035] For example, the biometric information acquiring unit 112 presents an input form for biometric information to the test user terminal 2 via the network NW, and acquires the biometric information based on the input of the test user. The communication in the transmission and reception may be wired or wireless, and any communication protocol may be used as long as the communication between them can be performed.

[0036] For example, the biometric information acquiring unit 112 may analyze the acquired image of the living body by a known image analysis technique to determine the species, variety, and characteristics of the living body. The biometric information acquiring unit 112 may also compare the information determined from the image with the biometric information input by the user, and ask the test user to confirm any items determined to be incorrect in the biometric information.

[0037] The biometric information acquisition unit 112 may acquire information including a request for testing genetic information of a living body, and when the biometric information acquisition unit 112 acquires the request, a business operator using the server device 1 delivers a kit or the like for acquiring a sample for testing (for example, a part of a living body such as a part of a tail fin) to the test user who issued the request, and the test user returns the acquired sample to the business operator, thereby handing the sample over to the business operator, and the business operator or a third party commissioned by the business operator performs the genetic information testing. Note that the method for testing genetic information can be an existing method, so a description thereof will be omitted.

[0038] As an example, the genetic information acquiring unit 113 acquires the genetic information from the testing device terminal 4 via the network NW. The communication in the transmission and reception may be either wired or wireless, and any communication protocol may be used as long as the mutual communication can be performed. The genetic information acquiring unit 113 may acquire the genetic information by a business operator who uses the server device 1 transferring the genetic information stored in the testing device terminal 4 to the server device 1 using a storage medium or the like. The genetic information acquiring unit 113 may also acquire the genetic information already held by the testing user from the testing user terminal 2.

[0039] The pedigree generating unit 114 generates a pedigree corresponding to a living body. The pedigree generating unit 114 generates a pedigree corresponding to a living body, for example, based on the biometric information and genetic information of the living body. An example of a pedigree generated by the pedigree generating unit 114 is shown in FIG. 8.

[0040] The pedigree generating unit 114 may generate a diagram based on the genetic information, such as a phylogenetic tree or a diagram plotting genotyping, and generate a pedigree including the information in that diagram.

[0041] The pedigree generating unit 114 may calculate the rarity of a living organism and generate a pedigree including information on the rarity. The pedigree generating unit 114 may calculate the rarity from, for example, the biometric information or genetic information of a certain living organism and the fixation rate. For example, the pedigree generating unit 114 may use the known probability that a phenotype such as a color contained in the biometric information linked to a certain living organism appears as a fixation rate stored in the server device 1, and use the fixation rate information as the rarity. When a living organism has a plurality of phenotypes for which fixation rates are stored, the pedigree generating unit 114 may calculate the rarity by multiplying the fixation rates associated with each phenotype. In addition, when the genetic information includes a mutation of SNPs known to be related to a specific phenotype, the probability that the mutation of the SNPs appears is stored in the server device 1 as a fixation rate, and use the fixation rate information as the rarity. When a living organism has a plurality of SNP mutations for which fixation rates are stored, the pedigree generating unit 114 may calculate the rarity by multiplying the fixation rates associated with the respective SNP mutations. The pedigree generating unit 114 may calculate the rarity based on the fixation rate A of the phenotype contained in the biometric information and the fixation rate B of the SNP mutations, etc., that are known to be related to a specific phenotype, contained in the genetic information. In this case, the pedigree generating unit 114 may calculate the rarity by multiplying the fixation rate A by the fixation rate B, or may calculate the rarity by multiplying the fixation rate A or the fixation rate B by a predetermined coefficient and then multiplying them together.

[0042] The art generating unit 115 generates digital art based on the information of the pedigree. The art generating unit 115 generates art based on, for example, the biometric information and genetic information of the living organism that is the basis of the pedigree. An example of art generated by the art generating unit is shown in FIG. 9. For example, the art generating unit 115 arranges A, T, C, and G representing bases in a frame shape corresponding to the biological species and breed stored in the server device 1 based on the information on the biological species and breed contained in the biometric information linked to the living organism that is the basis of the pedigree. The art generating unit 115 may replace the colors of A, T, C, and G with four colors based on a neighboring sequence including SNPs specific and characteristic to the living organism that is included in the genetic information linked to the living organism, or may change the eye color or base color based on the position and number of SNPs or individual color information included in the biometric information, but is not limited to these methods.

[0043] The art generating unit 115 may generate art based on, for example, the biometric information and genetic information of the living organism that is the basis of the pedigree, and on traits that may appear in the descendants of that living organism.

[0044] When the pedigree generation unit generates a pedigree, the NFT issuing unit 116 issues an NFT corresponding to the pedigree (certifying the owner of the pedigree (the owner of the living organism)). The issued NFT is set with information identifying the pedigree and information identifying the owner (user ID, etc.). The NFT light-emitting unit 116 may also issue an NFT corresponding to art generated by the art generation unit.

[0045] The NFT issuing unit 116 can send the issued NFT to the wallet of the test user who is the owner.

[0046] The presentation unit 117 presents the pedigree generated by the pedigree generation unit 114 and the art generated by the art generation unit 115 to the test user.

[0047] The presentation unit 117 may provide the test user with access rights to the pedigree information storage unit 134 and the art storage unit 135, and present a URL or the like.

[0048] The presentation unit 117 presents the pedigree generated by the pedigree generation unit 114 and the art generated by the art generation unit 115 to the viewing user.

[0049] The presentation unit 117 acquires a viewing request for a specific pedigree or art from the viewing user. The presentation unit 117 may acquire a consideration in a specific currency, cryptocurrency, or the like, together with the viewing request from the viewing user. When the presentation unit 117 acquires a viewing request or consideration from the viewing user, it may grant access rights to the pedigree information storage unit 134 and the art storage unit 135, and present a URL, or the like.

[0050] The trait simulation unit 118 performs a simulation of the phenotype traits when the living organisms that are the basis of the pedigrees are crossed based on the information of multiple pedigrees. The trait simulation unit 118 acquires a desire for a trait simulation, for example, specifying two pedigrees, from the testing user or the viewing user. The trait simulation unit 118 may perform a simulation of the phenotype traits when the living organisms that are the basis of the pedigrees are crossed based on the information of the specified pedigrees, for example.

[0051] The trait simulation unit 118 simulates, based on academically known facts, what traits such as color, body type, body length, body height, physical characteristics, etc. will be obtained when genetic information contained in the pedigree that has been accepted is crossed. Note that, taking into consideration the probability of mutations being introduced into genetic information during meiosis of germ cells or due to recombination, information on the possibility may be added to the simulation results. The trait simulation unit 118 may simulate the traits of the next generation by combining the genetic pedigree background (phylogenetic analysis, STRUCTURE analysis, etc.) within the species in the current generation with trait information.

[0052] For example, when the pedigree that has been accepted includes information on a special individual (for example, an individual whose phenotype, such as color, body type, body length, or body height, has changed compared to a wild individual), and the gene causing the phenotype is identified and information such as the frequency is academically known, the trait simulation unit 118 uses the trait as a simulation result. For example, it is known that L236 (invoice name), a type of ornamental fish, has undergone breeding improvement, so that the fixation rate of mutant traits (special individuals) in the next generation is high, while L333 (invoice name) still retains many wild-type traits, so that the fixation rate of mutant traits (special individuals) in the next generation tends to be low. However, since it is possible to create a fixed variety having mutant traits by proceeding with breeding improvement through selective breeding regardless of the variety, the trait simulation unit 118 may combine the genetic pedigree background (phylogenetic analysis, STRUCTURE analysis, etc.) in the current generation of the biological species with trait information to simulate (predict) the traits of the next generation.

[0053] For example, if the pedigree that has been accepted contains information on a special individual (for example, an individual whose phenotype, such as color, body shape, body length, or height, has changed compared to a wild individual), and the gene causing the phenotype has not been identified, the trait simulation unit 118 can take into account, for example, the parent breed, phenotype (appearance, etc.), and the rate of mutant individuals (fixation rate) of the offspring, and return a simulation result such as "there is a high probability that the next generation will be of S / A / B / C / D grade."

[0054] The trait simulation unit 118 may obtain compensation from the user who has requested the trait simulation in the form of a specific currency, cryptocurrency, or the like, for example.

[0055] When compensation is obtained by viewing a pedigree or performing a trait simulation, the distribution unit 119 may distribute a portion of the compensation to the testing user who is the owner of the pedigree that was viewed or the pedigree that was the subject of a trait simulation.

[0056] The sales support unit 120 supports the sale of living organisms. The sales support unit 120 may be equipped with a chat system, a bulletin board, etc., to allow communication between the inspection user and the browsing user. The sales support unit 120 may accept conditions (price, delivery method, etc.) relating to the sale of the living organism from the inspection user terminal 2 and present them to the browsing user terminal 3. The sales support unit 120 accepts a purchase application for the living organism from the browsing user and presents it to the inspection user. When accepting a purchase application from the browsing user, the sales support unit 120 may request payment of a consideration, and may pay the amount of the consideration minus a commission to the inspection user.

[0057] FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the transaction support system of this embodiment.

[0058] The server device 1 acquires user information from the test user terminal 2 (1001). The server device 1 acquires biometric information from the test user terminal 2 (1002).

The server device 1 controls the viewing authority of the pedigree and presents it to the viewing user (1008). The server device 1 acquires a request for a trait simulation from the viewing user terminal 3 (1009). At this time, a fee may be obtained from the viewing user who requests viewing. The server device 1 performs a trait simulation and presents the results to the viewing user (1010). The server device 1 distributes revenue to the testing user who has requested to view the pedigree or who owns the pedigree that was the subject of the trait simulation (1011). The server device 1 receives a request to purchase a living organism from the viewing user terminal 3 and obtains payment information (1012). The server device 1 presents the request to purchase a living organism and the payment information of the revenue to the testing user terminal 2 (1013).
