In addition, to make it easier to search for article data related to finance events, as shown in the figure, each article data contains “stock code (code used at the time of transaction)” for stocks and bonds related to the article. It is desirable that

  5A and 5B are flowcharts showing a processing procedure of the finance event analysis support system of the present embodiment. The processing contents of the finance event analysis support system will be described below based on the flowchart.

  First, the user of the client terminal 7 displays a search page for searching for a finance event on the Web browser 8 of the client terminal 7. A plurality of search pages are prepared, and are selected by a leftmost selection button (characters have a button function) according to the purpose of the user.

  FIG. 6 is an image diagram illustrating an example of a search page. This search page 81 is displayed when searching for a finance event of a specific company (hereinafter, this case is referred to as “case 1”). The search page 81 displays an issuer input field 81a for inputting a company name which is an issuer of stocks and bonds, and a code input field 81b for inputting a brand code of the issuer. When the user of the client terminal 7 inputs the company name in the issuer input field 81a or the brand code in the code input field 81b and clicks the search execution button 81c (step S1), the analysis support apparatus The event acquisition unit 14 searches for a table (bond table 31, stock matter table 32,...) Corresponding to the search condition from the finance database server 3, and acquires a record corresponding to the search condition if it exists. (Step S2). In the case where the search is performed under another condition, another search page is displayed on the Web browser 8 in step S1, and another condition of the finance event (for example, the type of the target finance event is displayed on the displayed search page. , Display period, etc.) and click the search button.

  As specific processing contents in step S2, for example, when “XX Industry” or “XX Industry Co., Ltd.” is entered in the issuer input field 81a of the search page 81 in “Case 1”, the event acquisition unit 14 Is a record in the bond table 31 for which "XX Industrial Co., Ltd." is the issuer, a record in the stock transaction table 32 for which "XX Industrial Co., Ltd." is the issuer, and is issued by "XX Industrial Co., Ltd." Records in the type stock table (not shown), records in the stock acquisition right table (not shown) whose issuer is “XX Industrial Co., Ltd.”, etc. Fetch entity record related to "Company".

  Alternatively, when a search for a type of finance event of “bond redemption” is specified from another search page (not shown) (hereinafter referred to as “case 2”), the event acquisition unit 14 A corresponding record is acquired from the table 31.

  On the other hand, if the procedure of step S1 is performed, the event acquisition part 14 of the analysis assistance apparatus 1 will search applicable article data from the article data group 51 of the article database server 5, and will acquire it if the said data exist ( Step S3). Specifically, for example, in “Case 1” and “Case 2”, the event acquisition unit 14 acquires article data relating to “XX Industrial”. As a search condition executed by the event acquisition unit 14 at this time, for example, article data including “XX Industrial” in the article title or article body, or a brand code is included in the item of the article database server 5. In this case, article data having a brand code of “XX Industrial” may be considered.

  When the data search and acquisition are completed, the data editing unit 15 edits the data acquired by the event acquisition unit 14 into a multi-year calendar table (step S4).

  Specifically, the selection / sorting unit 15a obtains data of a predetermined item from the acquired entity table (data of “redemption date”, data of “issue date” in the bond table 31, "New release date" data, etc.) is selected and acquired, and the acquired data is classified in units of one month. For example, in the data acquired from the bond table 31 and the stock matter table 32 in “Case 1”, the selection / sorting unit 15a displays the data (2002. 4.16) of “(stock split) issuance resolution date”, Acquired data (2002.30) for “allocation date (for stock split)” and data (2002.8.15) for “effective date for (stock split)”. , Data for June 2002, and data for August 2002. The selection / sorting unit 15a obtains and sorts other data in the same manner, and passes all the sorted data to the container unit 15b.

  The container unit 15b forms a table in which rectangular cells are arranged in a matrix. Each formed cell is a data display area in January. The container unit 15b arranges the data passed from the selection / sorting unit 15a in the corresponding cell. For example, when the data acquired from the bond table 31 and the stock matter table 32 is classified in “Case 1”, cells for five years (total of 60) are formed, and the data of “issue resolution date” is set to April 2002 In this cell, the “allocation date” data is placed in the June 2002 cell, and the “effective date” data is placed in the August 2002 cell. Then, the container unit 15b arranges other data passed from the selection / sorting unit 15a in the corresponding cell to complete the table.

  Then, the container unit 15b forms a multi-year calendar table as an editing result (that is, a completed table) on the Web page, returns it to the Web browser 8, and displays it on the Web browser 8 (step S5).

  FIG. 7 shows an image diagram of the multi-year calendar table displayed on the Web browser 8. The event display area 82a of the multi-year calendar table 82 shown in FIG. 7 has five rows ("Case 1" is specified when the display year is specified as five years. The specification of this year is variable depending on the request from the client. And therefore is not always limited to 5 rows). It is formed by 60 cells arranged in a matrix of 12 columns. These cells are arranged on short-time coordinates (column direction) with the month as a unit and long-time coordinates (row direction) with the year as a unit, and one column is January (January to December). ) One line is one year. In the cell of the event display area 82a, as a result of the processing of “Case 1” in Steps S3 and S4, finance for five years of “XX Industrial” (January 2002 to December 2006) The event is shown as character data. For example, the character “stock: resolution” indicating “issue resolution date” is displayed in the cell 82c in April 2002, and the character “stock: allocation” indicating “allocation date” is displayed in the cell 82d in June 2002. In the cell 82e of August 2002, characters “Stock: Effective of splitting” indicating “Effective date” are respectively displayed. In addition, characters as a result of the processes in steps S3 and S4 are also shown in other cells.

  With this multi-year calendar table 82, finance events can be displayed on the client terminal 7 in units of years and months. As a result, the user of the client terminal 7 can view the finance event over the long term in units of years and months.

  The multi-year calendar table 82 is provided with a display period detail setting button 82f for changing / detail setting the display period of the event display area 82a and an event selection field 82g for selecting the type of finance event to be displayed. It has been. When the display period detail setting button 82f is clicked, a detailed setting screen 82h shown in FIG. 8 is displayed on the Web browser 8, and the period can be changed and detailed settings can be performed. When the button 82i on the right side of the event selection column 82g is clicked, the event selection column 82g is expanded in the Web browser 8 as shown in FIG. 9, and the type of finance event to be displayed can be selected. When the apply button 82j and the search execution button 82k are clicked in this state, the processes of steps S1 to S3 are performed again, and a new multi-year calendar table (not shown) is displayed.

  Next, when any character indicating an individual finance event is clicked from the client terminal 7 with the multi-year calendar table 82 displayed on the Web browser 8 (step S6), the event acquisition unit of the analysis support apparatus 1 14 searches the finance database server 3 to acquire detailed information data of the individual finance event. When the data acquisition and acquisition by the event acquisition unit 14 is completed, the selection / sorting unit 15a of the data editing unit 15 selects and acquires predetermined data from the acquired data. The acquired data is edited in the form of a detailed data display page (step S7), the detailed data display page as an editing result is formed into a Web page, returned to the Web browser 8, and displayed on the Web browser 8 ( Step S8).

  FIG. 10 shows an image diagram of the detailed data display page displayed on the Web browser 8. The detailed data display page 83 shown in the figure is shown in the cell 82c in April 2002, the cell 82d in June 2002, and the cell 82e in August 2002 in the multi-year calendar table 82 (FIG. 7). As a result of clicking one of the characters 82l, 82m, and 82n of “stock split”, it is displayed on the Web browser 8. When the characters 82l, 82m, and 82n are clicked, the event acquisition unit 14 acquires a record corresponding to “XX Industrial” from the stock transaction table 32, and the selection / sorting unit 15a stores the record in the acquired stock transaction table 32. Predetermined data such as the issuance resolution date, effective date, stock type, etc. is acquired from the corresponding record and formed in the detailed data display page 83. In addition to the multi-year calendar table 82, the detailed data display page 83 displays detailed information on a specific finance event on the client terminal 7, whereby the user of the client terminal 7 confirms the detailed information on the specific finance event. It becomes possible.

  On the other hand, when the multi-year calendar table 82 is displayed on the Web browser 8 (FIG. 7), the word “news” displayed in the cell of the specific month of the multi-year calendar table 82 is clicked (step S9) The selection / sorting unit 15a of the data editing unit 15 acquires the article data of the month, edits the acquired article data (step S10), forms this article data display page on the Web page, and generates the Web browser 8 And displayed on the Web browser 8 (step S11). For example, when the “news” character 82p shown in the multi-year calendar table 82 is clicked, the selection / sorting unit 15a uses the article data group acquired from the article database 5 to store data related to “XX industry” in the same month (article ) To form an article data display page 84.

  FIG. 11 shows an image diagram of the article data display page displayed on the Web browser 8. As shown in the figure, the article data display page 84 is displayed on the Web browser 8 as a result of clicking the “news” character 82p shown in the cell 82o in March 2005 of the multi-year calendar table 82 (FIG. 7). It is a thing. On the article data display page 84, the title of the acquired article data is displayed, and the text of the article is displayed on the Web browser 8 when each title is clicked.
