In that case, the second business operator U2 receives, for example, the URL of the second account issuance application screen provided by the account management unit 513 of the server device 50 from the first business operator U1, and operates the second terminal 20. and access that URL. The account management unit 513 of the server device 50 informs the second business operator U2 who has accessed the URL of the second account in S123, assuming that the first business operator U1 has approved the issuance of the second account. Issue the issue. In this case, the server device 50 receives the issuance application for the second account of the second business operator U2 from the second business operator U2 through the account management unit 513, and executes a second issuing step of issuing the second account. .

In order to use the application-related system 1, the second business operator U2 performs an operation to input the URL of the login screen indicated by the account information of the second account. In S131, the second terminal 20 receives the input of the URL through the input reception unit 111. Next, in S132, the second terminal 20 uses the information output unit 113 to output a request for a login screen indicated by the input URL to the server device 50. In S133, the server device 50 uses the screen generation unit 511 to generate a login screen (a dedicated login screen for the first business operator U1) indicated by the received request, and transmits it to the second terminal 20.

When the second terminal 20 displays the transmitted login screen, the input reception unit 111 receives input of the account ID and password of the second account in S134. Next, in S135, the second terminal 20 outputs the input account ID and password to the server device 50 through the information output unit 113. In S136, the server device 50 generates account information that associates the account ID and password outputted by the account management unit 513 with the URL of the dedicated login screen of the first business operator U1 into which they have been input. is stored, it is determined that the access is from the second operator U2 associated with the first operator U1.

Next, in S137, the server device 50 uses the subsidy/subsidy extraction unit 514 to extract information related to the second business operator U2 that has accessed the server device from among the subsidies/subsidies stored in the storage control unit 512. Extract the subsidies and subsidies that will be provided. Subsidies/subsidy related to a business operator are, for example, subsidies/subsidy related to the business carried out by the business operator. Subsidies/subsidies related to a business are subsidies/subsidies that are not necessarily issued, but may be issued to one of the businesses implementing the same business. In addition, even if it is not related to the business that the business is implementing, it is related to the business that will be implemented in the future, the business of the business that is collaborating, or the business that has an interest. may also be included in subsidies and grants related to business operators.

For example, the server device 50 refers to the second account issuance application stored by the account management unit 513, and if an interesting subsidy/subsidy is included, extracts the subsidy/subsidy. do. In addition, if the issuance application includes a description of the business of the second business operator U2 and a description of the products/services, the server device 50 extracts subsidies/subsidies that include keywords included in those descriptions. do. For example, the server device 50 stores in advance important words and phrases that are often used in connection with subsidies and subsidies as keywords. Note that keywords may be added, changed, deleted, etc. by the first business operator U1 or the second business operator U2.

Subsequently, in S138, the server device 50 uses the subsidy/subsidy extraction unit 514 to select the first business operator associated with the second business operator U2 from the subsidies/subsidy funds stored in the storage control unit 512. Extract subsidies and grants related to U1. In this embodiment, the subsidy/subsidy extraction unit 514 extracts subsidies/subsidy related to the first business operator U1 from the subsidies/subsidy extracted in S137. For example, the subsidy/subsidy extraction unit 514 refers to the issuance application of the first account stored by the account management unit 513, and if the subsidy/subsidy of interest is included, extracts the subsidy.・Extract subsidies.

In addition, if the issuance application includes a description of the business of the first business operator U1 and a description of the products/services, the subsidy/subsidy extraction unit 514 extracts a subsidy that includes the keywords included in those descriptions.・Extract subsidies. Further, if the subsidy/subsidy extraction unit 514 stores a subsidy/subsidy that is set by the first business operator U1 and is desired to be recommended to the second business operator U2, the subsidy/grant Extract. For example, this extraction is performed by providing a column for inputting the subsidy/subsidy to be recommended to the second business operator U2 in the consultation item input column F2 shown in FIG. 7.

Then, in S139, the server device 50 uses the extracted subsidy/subsidy money to generate screen data showing a screen for the second account using the screen generation unit 511, and transmits the generated screen data to the second terminal 20. The second terminal 20 uses the system screen display unit 112 to display a screen for the second account indicated by the received screen data.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a displayed screen for the second account. In the example of FIG. 8, a second account screen E3 is displayed on the display of the second terminal 20. The screen E3 includes a first business logo image L1, an operation image G3 for searching for subsidies and subsidies, a list of subsidies and subsidies F31 and F32, and a search result display field F33 for subsidies and subsidies. , a list of products F34, and product information F35 are shown.

As shown in FIG. 8, the screen generation unit 511 of the server device 50 generates screen data showing a screen E3 including the first business logo image L1. The first company logo image L1 is an example of an identification image of the first company U1. The screen generation unit 511 uses a dedicated login screen of the first operator U1 when the second operator U2 accesses its own device, so that the second operator U2 and the first operator U1 can It is determined that they are associated, and screen data is generated that shows a screen including the logo image of the first business operator U1 as a screen for the second account. In this way, the screen generation unit 511 of the server device 50 causes the second terminal 20, which is the terminal of the second business operator U2, to display the identification image of the first business operator U1 with which the second account is associated. According to such an aspect, the application-related system 1 provided by the fourth company U4 can be made to appear as if it is provided by the first company U1. In other words, the first business operator U1 can allow the second business operator U2 to use the application-related system 1 like an OEM product.

Further, the screen generation unit 511 of the server device 50 generates screen data showing a screen E3 including a list F31 of subsidies and subsidies. The list F31 is a list of subsidies and grants related to the first business operator U1 extracted in S138. More specifically, in the example of FIG. 8, the list F31 shows subsidies and subsidies that the first business operator U1 wants to recommend to the second business operator U2. In this way, the screen generation unit 511 of the server device 50 executes the presentation step of presenting the subsidy/subsidy related to the first business operator U1 to the second business operator U2. According to such an aspect, it is possible to facilitate business negotiations using subsidies and subsidies provided by the first business operator.

Further, the screen generation unit 511 of the server device 50 generates screen data showing a screen E3 including a list F32 of subsidies and grants. The list F32 is a list of subsidies and subsidies related to the second business operator U2 extracted in S137. In this way, the screen generation unit 511 of the server device 50 presents subsidies and grants related to the second business operator U2 to the second business operator U2. The presentation of the subsidy/subsidy to the second business operator U2 corresponds to the processing flow of "(3-1) Subsidy etc. information" shown in FIG.

Further, the screen generation unit 511 of the server device 50 generates screen data showing a screen E3 including a subsidy/subsidy search result display field F33. The search result display field F33 is a field that displays the results of searching for a specific subsidy/subsidy from among the subsidy/subsidy funds stored in the storage control unit 512. The search keyword is input into the input field adjacent to the search operation image G3. In S141, the second terminal 20 receives input of a search keyword through the input reception unit 111. In S142, the second terminal 20 uses the information output unit 113 to output search request data requesting a search using the input keyword to the server device 50.

In S143, the server device 50 uses the subsidy/subsidy extraction unit 514 to select the subsidy/subsidy searched by the keyword indicated by the received search request data from among the subsidy/subsidy items stored in the storage control unit 512. Extract grants. In S144, the server device 50 uses the subsidy/subsidy extraction unit 514 to transmit search result data indicating the extracted subsidy/subsidy to the second terminal 20. The second terminal 20 uses the system screen display unit 112 to display a list of subsidies and grants indicated by the transmitted search result data in the search result display field F33 shown in FIG. The search by the second business operator U2 described above corresponds to the processing flow of "(3-2) Search for subsidies, etc." shown in FIG.

The second terminal 20 displays a selection image H3 on the subsidy/subsidy selected by the second business operator U2 from among the displayed subsidies/grants. For example, the server device 50 stores information on subsidies and products that can use subsidies in the storage control unit 512. The screen generation unit 511 of the server device 50 transmits the selected subsidy/product information that can be used for the subsidy to the second terminal 20. The system screen display unit 112 of the second terminal 20 displays the transmitted product information on the product list F34. The system screen display unit 112 of the second terminal 20 further acquires information on the selected product from the list F34 from the server device 50 and displays it as product information F35.

The screen generation unit 511 of the server device 50 causes the second account screen E3 shown in FIG. 8 to also be displayed on the first terminal 10 as a first account screen. Further, the screen generation unit 511 of the server device 50 displays a summary screen of subsidies and subsidies.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a displayed screen for the first account. In the example of FIG. 9, a screen E4 for the first account is displayed on the display of the first terminal 10. The screen E4 shows a first company logo image L1 and a subsidy/subsidy summary F4. Summary F4 shows the number of new subsidies/grants on the day (0), the number of new subsidies/grants within the past week (1), and the number of new subsidies/grants in the first account. The number of subsidies and subsidies that can be utilized by the associated second business operator U2 (143 cases) and the number of subsidies and subsidies that are close to the deadline (77 cases) are displayed.

When each number is selected, the screen generation unit 511 of the server device 50 displays a list of the selected number of subsidies/subsidies. The screen generation unit 511 of the server device 50 also causes the screen E4 for the first account to be displayed on the second terminal 20 as a screen for the second account. In the case of a screen to be displayed on the first terminal 10, the screen generation unit 511 generates, for example, one or more second business operators U2 associated with the first business operator U1 (the first business operator U1 issued the second account). A first screen containing a list of subsidies and subsidies extracted for the second business operator U2) is displayed. Further, in the case of a screen to be displayed on the second terminal 20, the screen generation unit 511 displays a second screen including a list of subsidies/subsidies extracted for the second business operator U2. In this case, the number of subsidies/grants displayed on the second screen is less than or equal to the number of subsidies/grants displayed on the first screen. Thereby, the first business operator U1 and the second business operator U2 can narrow down and confirm the subsidies and subsidies that should be of interest.

The second business operator U2 determines the subsidy/subsidy for which the company applies, with reference to the subsidy/subsidy information displayed as described above and the product information. In S151, the second terminal 20 receives an input for determining a subsidy/subsidy through the input receiving unit 111. In S152, the second terminal 20 uses the information output unit 113 to transmit notification data notifying the determined subsidy/subsidy to the server device 50.

In the server device 50, the application management unit 515 stores in advance information on businesses that can support each subsidy/subsidy. Then, in S153, the server device 50 causes the application management unit 515 to generate list data of businesses that can support the application for subsidies/grants indicated by the received notification data, and in S154, the generated list data is The notification is sent to the second terminal 20 that is the notification source. The second terminal 20 uses the system screen display unit 112 to display a list of businesses indicated by the received list data.

Next, in S155, the second terminal 20 receives, through the input receiving unit 111, an input for selecting a business operator to request application support from a list of businesses. Subsequently, in S156, the second terminal 20 uses the information output unit 113 to output an application support request to the selected business operator to the server device 50. This support request also serves as an application for issuance of a third account. When transmitting this issuance application and support request, the second terminal 20 reads the account ID of the second account from the storage control unit 114 and associates it with the issuance application and support request.

Note that the input reception unit 111 of the second terminal 20 is not limited to inputs for selecting a business operator from a list of businesses, but also accepts inputs for requesting support for an application from a business operator that the second business operator U2 has found by itself. Good too. In either case, the application management unit 515 of the server device 50 executes a request receiving step of receiving a request from the second business operator U2 to support the application of subsidies and grants to the third business operator U3. The support request by the second business operator U2 described above corresponds to the processing flow of "(4) Application support request (account ID association)" shown in FIG.

Next, in S161, the server device 50 uses the application management unit 515 to store the received issuance application and support request and transfers it to the first terminal 10. Upon receiving the transferred issuance application and support request, the first terminal 10 displays the received issuance application and support request on the system screen display unit 112 in S162. The first business operator U1 determines whether or not the third account can be issued based on the displayed issuance application and support request, and if it is determined that the third account can be issued, performs an operation to approve the issuance.

When the first terminal 10 receives the approval operation by the first business operator U1 in S162, the information output unit 113 outputs approval data indicating that the issuance of the third account has been approved to the server device 50 in S163. do. When the server device 50 receives the output approval data, in S164, the account management unit 513 stores the account information indicating the third account in the same manner as the first account etc. Issue an account. In the following, the account ID of the third account will also be referred to as the "support ID."

Note that the approval for issuing the third account is not limited to the first business operator U1, but may be performed by the fourth business operator U4. Further, even if the second business operator U2 selects the third business operator U3 to request support from among the candidates of the third business operator U3 registered in advance by the first business operator U1 or the fourth business operator U4. good. In that case, the issuance application and support request will include support request information for the third business operator U3 that has already been approved by the first business operator U1 or the fourth business operator U4, and The issued second account is associated with the third account issued to the third business operator U3.

In either case, the account management unit 513 of the server device 50 stores information in which the account ID and password indicating the third account and the URL of the dedicated login screen of the first business operator U1 are associated with each other to the third account. will be stored as account information. Since the first account and the second account are associated through this URL, the first account, the second account, and the third account are associated with each other by the account information of the third account. The association of the first, second, and third accounts also means the association of each account with the first business operator U1, the second business operator U2, and the third business operator U3.

In S165, the server device 50 uses the account management unit 513 to transmit the account information indicating the stored third account to the second terminal 20. When the second terminal 20 receives the transmitted account information, the system screen display unit 112 notifies the second business operator U2 that the third account has been issued.

Further, in S166, the server device 50 causes the account management unit 513 to transmit the stored account information indicating the third account to the third terminal 30 together with the previously stored support request. When the third terminal 30 receives the transmitted account information and support request, it first displays the received support request on the system screen display unit 112, for example. When receiving a support request, the third business operator U3 performs a reception input indicating that the request is received.

Upon receiving the receipt input, the system screen display unit 112 of the third terminal 30 displays account information (support ID, password, and URL of the dedicated login screen of the first business operator U1) indicating the received third account. . The system screen display unit 112 of the third terminal 30 accesses the URL indicated by the account information to display a login screen, and the support ID and password indicated by the account information are inputted by the third business operator U3 and sent to the server device 50. By sending the message, a screen for supporting the application procedure, which is a screen for the third account, will be displayed. On the support screen, input of a report on the application status to the second business operator U2, notification of instructions from the second business operator U2, and provision of information regarding subsidies/grants to be supported are performed.

The third business operator U3, based on the information regarding the subsidies and grants provided from the server device 50 or from the second business operator U2, performs support work for procedures for the subsidies and grants to the administrative agency G1. . The procedure support operations include various operations such as obtaining documents to be submitted to the administrative agency G1, inputting information into documents, and submitting documents. This support work corresponds to "(5) Application support work" shown in FIG. When the third business operator U3 performs the support work, he inputs a report of the work results from the support screen. In S171, the third terminal 30 receives an input of a result report through the input reception unit 111.

Next, in S172, the third terminal 30 uses the information output unit 113 to output the application status indicated by the input result report to the server device 50. When outputting this application status, the third terminal 30 reads the account ID of the second account from the storage control unit 114 and associates it with the application status. In S173, the server device 50 stores the application status outputted by the application management unit 515 in association with the account ID of the second account.

The application management unit 515 of the server device 50 stores the application status every time the third business operator U3 reports the results. In this way, the application management unit 515 of the server device 50 receives procedure-related information regarding the subsidy/subsidy application procedure of the second business operator U2 from the third business operator U3, and stores the procedure-related information. Perform an information storage step. The application status input by the third business operator U3 described above is performed in "(6) Application status input (account ID mapping)" and "(7) Application status storage (account ID mapping)" shown in Figure 1. corresponds to the processing flow of

The server device 50 stores the above procedure-related information so that it can be viewed by the first business operator U1 and the second business operator U2. In the case of the first business operator U1, for example, procedure-related information is viewed on a management screen for managing transaction status with the second business operator U2.

FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of the second business operator's management screen. In the example of FIG. 10, the management screen E5 of the second business operator U2 is displayed on the display of the first terminal 10. The management screen E5 shows a first company logo image L1, a name input field G51 for the second company U2, a decision operation image G52, and a tab T5. When the name of the second business operator U2 to be managed is entered in the name input field G51 and the determination operation image G52 is operated, the second business operator U2 to be displayed on the management screen E5 is determined. In the example of FIG. 10, the second business operator U2 named "XYZ Corporation" is selected.

Tab T5 is an operation image for selecting display contents, and includes "Second company usage history", "Second company information", "File", "Request", "Consultation/Application status", " It has tabs T51, T52, T53, T54, T55, and T56 for selecting display contents of "Transaction Status", respectively. In the example of FIG. 10, tab T55 for displaying "consultation/application status" is selected. In S181, the first terminal 10 uses the input reception unit 111 to input the operation by the first business operator U1 to the name input field G51, the decision operation image G52, and the tab T55 for viewing information regarding the second business operator U2. Accept as input.

When the first terminal 10 receives the viewing input, the information output unit 113 transmits a viewing request for information regarding the second business operator to the server device 50 in S182. In the case of the example shown in FIG. 10, since the tab T55 has been operated, a request to view information regarding "consultation/application status" is sent. When the server device 50 receives the viewing application, in S183 it reads out information regarding the applied second business operator. In the example of FIG. 10, the server device 50 uses the application management unit 515 to read the application status of the second business operator U2 stored in S173. In S184, the server device 50 causes the application management unit 515 to transmit the read application status to the first terminal 10 as information regarding the second provider.

The first terminal 10 displays the received application status on the system screen display unit 112 in S185. The system screen display unit 112 of the first terminal 10 displays, for example, as shown in FIG. ``Status'', ``Issuance availability'', and ``Issuance status'' are displayed as the application status. “Status” shows the latest status of subsidy/subsidy procedures. For example, for "Subsidy X1", the application is "submitted" and "unapproved", so the status is "applied". In addition, regarding "Subsidy It has become. Furthermore, regarding "Subsidy X3", since the application form is "not submitted", the status is "under consultation".

In this way, the viewing management unit 516 of the server device 50 receives a viewing application for the information of the second business operator U2 from the first business operator U1, and outputs the information so that the first business operator U1 can view the information. Execute the output step. Viewing the application status described above corresponds to the process flow of "(8) Viewing the application status (corresponding to the account ID corresponding to the business ID)" shown in FIG. According to such an aspect, the first business operator U1 can easily grasp the status of the application procedure of the second business operator U2.

In addition, when the viewing management unit 516 receives an application for viewing predetermined subsidy/subsidy information from the first business operator U1, the viewing management unit 516 selects the subsidy from among the second business operators U2 to which it has assigned the second account. Information regarding persons whose application status regarding funds/subsidy is stored may be output in a viewable manner. Thereby, it is possible to collectively understand the second businesses U2 that have applied for common subsidies and grants.

Also, when the viewing management unit 516 of the server device 50 receives a viewing application for information on the second business operator U2 from the second business operator U2, the viewing management unit 516 outputs the information so that the second business operator U2 can view the information. For example, in S191, the second terminal 20 uses the input reception unit 111 to accept an input from the second business operator U2 to view information regarding the second business operator U2. When the second terminal 20 receives the viewing input, the information output unit 113 transmits a viewing request for information regarding the second business operator to the server device 50 in S192.

When the server device 50 receives the viewing application, in S193, for example, the application management unit 515 reads out the application status of the second business operator U2 stored in S173. In S194, the server device 50 causes the application management unit 515 to transmit the read application status to the second terminal 20 as information regarding the second business operator. In S195, the second terminal 20 displays the received application status on the system screen display unit 112. According to such an aspect, the second business operator U2 itself can easily grasp the status of the application procedure of the second business operator U2. Viewing the application status described above corresponds to the process flow of "(8) Viewing the application status (corresponding to account ID)" shown in FIG.

When the first business operator U1 views the application status of subsidies and subsidies of the second business operator U2, the first business operator U1 makes an estimate of whether the subsidies and subsidies will be issued and when they will be issued. be able to. Based on this prospect, the first business operator U1 can propose services, products, and other merchandise that utilize the provided subsidy/subsidy payment. The proposal described here corresponds to "(9) Proposal based on viewing information" shown in FIG. 1.

Note that the second terminal 20 may be able to download the displayed application status and store it in the storage control unit 114. As a result, if the second business operator U2 were to conduct business negotiations to utilize subsidies and subsidies with another business operator different from the associated first business operator U1, the application downloaded by the second business operator U2 The status can be provided to the operator. However, since the first business operator U1 of this embodiment can view the application status of the second business operator U2 himself, even if there are other business operators, he cannot maintain an advantage in proposing products. can.

3-2. Notification Process Next, other processes executed in the application-related system 1 will be explained.
FIG. 11 is a diagram showing the overall configuration of the application-related system 1. In Figure 11, "(10) Application status update notification" is a notification process, "(11) Document upload" is a document request process, "(12) Financial institution information" is a financial information provision process, and "(13) Subsidy "Association information" indicates that factoring processing is to be executed. Each process will be described below with reference to a flowchart showing the operation of the server device 50.

FIG. 12 is a flow diagram illustrating an example of notification processing. The server device 50 executes the notification process at predetermined time intervals (every minute, etc.), for example. First, in S201, the server device 50 uses the notification management unit 517 to determine whether the application status has been updated. The server device 50 determines that the application status has been updated when the application management unit 515 has stored the application status in S173 shown in FIG. 5 since the previous notification process. If the server device 50 determines that the application status has not been updated (NO), it ends the notification process.

If the server device 50 determines that the application status has been updated (YES), in S202 the notification management unit 517 determines whether a predetermined first notification condition is satisfied. The first notification condition is satisfied, for example, when there is an update to the application status. If the server device 50 determines that the first notification condition is satisfied (YES), the notification management unit 517 notifies the first terminal 10 in S203. For example, when the first business operator U1 accesses its own device using the first terminal 10, the notification management unit 517 of the server device 50 makes a notification by displaying a pop-up image that says “There is an update to the application status.” . Note that the notification management unit 517 of the server device 50 may perform notification by transmitting notification data to a predetermined destination (email address, SNS account, etc.).

If the server device 50 determines in S202 that the first notification condition is not satisfied (NO), or after notifying the first terminal 10 in S203, the notification management unit 517 performs a predetermined notification in S204. It is determined whether the second notification condition is satisfied. As the second notification condition, a condition that is more difficult to satisfy than the first notification condition is used. The second notification condition is satisfied, for example, when a specific application status is updated. As the specific application status, for example, a situation that is particularly important to the applicant, such as approval of the application or passing the issuance examination, is used. If the server device 50 determines that the second notification condition is satisfied (YES), the notification management unit 517 notifies the second terminal 20 in S205. If the notification management unit 517 of the server device 50 determines that the second notification condition is not satisfied (NO), it ends the notification process.

Note that the first notification condition and the second notification condition are not limited to the above conditions, and may be conditions that are satisfied at a timing different from the update of the application status, for example. The first notification condition and the second notification condition may be, for example, a condition that is satisfied when a predetermined number of days have passed until the application deadline or a condition that is satisfied when a predetermined number of days have passed since the performance report was submitted. It's okay. In either case, it is sufficient that the second notification condition is less likely to be satisfied than the first notification condition.

The second notification condition is more difficult to satisfy than the first notification condition, for example, as in the example of FIG. The relationship is such that even if the notification condition is satisfied, the second notification condition may not be satisfied. Alternatively, the relationship may be such that the probability that the first notification condition is satisfied is higher than the probability that the second notification condition is satisfied. When using these notification conditions, the notification management unit 517 of the server device 50 is not limited to updating the application status, and may, for example, notify that the notification conditions are satisfied.

As described above, when the first notification condition is satisfied, the notification management unit 517 of the server device 50 executes the first notification step of notifying the first business operator of an update of the information stored in the information storage step. Further, the notification management unit 517 of the server device 50 executes a second notification step of notifying the second business operator of an update when a second notification condition that is more difficult to satisfy than the first notification condition is satisfied.

The first business operator U1 wants to know the latest situation as much as possible because it will carry out proposal activities using subsidies and subsidies. On the other hand, since the second business operator U2 usually maintains contact with the third business operator U3 regarding applications, for example, even if the second business operator U2 is notified every time the application status is updated, there are many things that are already known and the notification is not received. It can get annoying. Therefore, by using the first notification condition that is easier to satisfy than the second notification condition as described above, the first notification condition can be quickly notified of information updates to the first operator, while the second notification condition is less likely to be satisfied than the first notification condition. By using the conditions, it is possible to reduce the burden on the second business operator.

3-3. Request Processing The second business operator U2 plans to pay for the subsidy/subsidy in the event that the subsidy/subsidy is to be issued or is likely to be issued. will be carried out. However, subsidies and grants are often granted only after the project's track record has been confirmed, and businesses may try to obtain loans (so-called bridging loans) to finance the project until then. When the first business operator U1 is a financial business operator, by viewing the application status, it is possible to propose the bridging loan to the second business operator U2 in a timely manner. When a bridging loan is provided, the first business operator U1 requests materials necessary for the loan from the second business operator U2. Process requests to support requests for materials.

FIG. 13 is a flow diagram illustrating an example of request processing. For example, the negotiation management unit 518 of the server device 50 executes a request process when the first business operator U1 inputs a request for uploading materials. First, in S211, the server device 50 causes the negotiation management unit 518 to send notification data to the second terminal 20 notifying the request for uploading materials from the first business operator U1, so that the second business operator U2 can receive notification data. Request upload of materials.

Subsequently, in S212, the server device 50 determines whether or not the requested material has been uploaded by the negotiation management unit 518. When the server device 50 determines that no material has been uploaded (NO), the process returns to S211 and notifies the second business operator U2 again. The re-notification is performed, for example, when a predetermined period (for example, one week) has passed since the previous notification. If the server device 50 determines that materials have been uploaded (YES), the business negotiation management unit 518 stores the uploaded materials in S213.

Next, in S214, the server device 50 causes the business negotiation management unit 518 to send notification data to the first terminal 10 notifying that the materials have been uploaded, thereby informing the first business operator U1 that the materials have been uploaded. to notify you that something has happened. Thereafter, in S215, the server device 50 determines whether the negotiation management unit 518 has made a request to view the upload status of the materials. If the server device 50 determines that there is no viewing request (NO), it returns to S215 and repeats the operation. If the server device 50 determines that there is a viewing request (YES), the negotiation management unit 518 transmits the upload status of the material to the requesting terminal in S216.

FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of a screen showing the status of uploading materials. In the example of FIG. 14, a state in which the "request" tab T54 is selected is displayed on the management screen E5 of the second business operator U2 shown in FIG. The management screen E5 shows an upload status F6 and a narrowing operation image G6. The upload status F6 includes "status", "request name", "request tag", "material progress", "registration date", "expiration date", and "registrant".

“Status” indicates the status of the upload of the material, such as “answered,” “confirmed,” and “completed.” The "request name" indicates the name of the requested material, etc. “Request Tag” indicates a tag assigned to the requested material. Request tags are used to narrow down the materials whose upload status is to be displayed. “Material progress” indicates the progress of uploading the materials. For example, "3/8" shown in FIG. 14 indicates that eight materials have been requested and three of them have been submitted. Further, "5/5" indicates that five materials have been requested and all five have been submitted. In this case, the upload of the material has been completed, so the status is "Completed".

FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of a screen showing a list of material files. In the example of FIG. 15, the "File" tab T53 is displayed in a selected state on the management screen E5 of the second business operator U2 shown in FIG. The management screen E5 shows file information F7, a file search image G71, and a file information editing image G72. The file information F7 shows "registrant", "registration date and time", "file name", and "type" as information regarding the file indicating the uploaded material. Files can be searched using the file search image G71. File information can be edited using the file information editing image G72.

In this way, when the first business operator U1 makes an input indicating a request for uploading materials to the second business operator U2, the negotiation management unit 518 of the server device 50 transmits the request to the second business operator U2.

Further, the negotiation management unit 518 of the server device 50 executes a status output step of outputting the status of uploading of materials by the second business operator U2 so that the first business operator U1 or the second business operator U2 can view it. According to such an aspect, it is possible to manage the submission of necessary materials when the first business operator U1 conducts business with the second business operator U2.

3-4. Financial Information Provision Process The fourth business operator U4 may provide information regarding financial institutions that can receive financing so that the second business operator U2 can smoothly raise funds for its business.

FIG. 16 is a flow diagram illustrating an example of financial information provision processing. First, in S221, the server device 50 receives input of information regarding the financial institution from the fourth business operator U4 through the financial information management unit 519. Next, in S222, the server device 50 uses the financial information management unit 519 to determine whether the first business operator U1 is a financial institution. If the server device 50 determines that the first business operator U1 is a financial institution (YES), it ends the financial information providing process. If the server device 50 determines that the first business operator U1 is not a financial institution (NO), in S223, the financial information management unit 519 sends information regarding the financial institution (financial institution information) to the first business operator U1. It is transmitted to the first terminal 10 used and the second terminal 20 used by the second operator U2 associated with the first operator U1.

FIG. 17 is a diagram showing an example of a screen showing financial institution information. In the example of FIG. 17, a financial institution information provision screen E8 is shown. The provision screen E8 shows financial institution information F8, a search image G81, and a consultation image G82. Financial institution information F8 includes "national financial institutions" and "local financial institutions." When the search image G81 is operated, a function to search for a financial institution is provided. When the consultation image G82 is operated, a contact is made to a free consultation counter established by the fourth business operator U4, for example.

In this way, the financial information management unit 519 of the server device 50 executes the financial information storage step of storing information regarding the financial institution registered by the fourth business operator U4. Further, the financial information management unit 519 of the server device 50 executes a financial information output step of outputting the stored financial institution information so that the first business operator or the second business operator can view it. According to such an aspect, the fourth business operator can support the second business operator in obtaining a loan.

3-5. Factoring Process The second business operator U2 may conduct a so-called factoring transaction in which the rights related to the issuance of subsidies and subsidies are traded to raise funds without waiting for the issuance of subsidies and subsidies.

FIG. 18 is a flow diagram illustrating an example of factoring processing. First, in S231, the server device 50 uses the rights management unit 520 to store information regarding subsidies and grants applied for by the second business operator U2. Next, in S232, the server device 50 uses the rights management unit 520 to determine whether there is a factoring transaction by the second business operator U2. For example, the rights management unit 520 of the server device 50 causes the second terminal 20 to display a screen for confirming the presence or absence of a factoring transaction, and informs the second business operator U2 of the presence or absence of a factoring transaction and, if there is a factoring transaction, the business partner. This judgment is made by inputting the following information.

When the rights management unit 520 of the server device 50 determines that there is no factoring transaction (NO), it ends the factoring process. When the server device 50 determines that there is a factoring transaction (YES), in S233, the rights management unit 520 identifies the second business operator U2, the business operator of the input factoring transaction, and the subsidy to be applied for.・Make connections with grants. Next, in S234, the server device 50 uses the rights management unit 520 to store the association information associated in S233. Then, in S235, the server device 50 uses the rights management unit 520 to transmit the stored association information to, for example, the first terminal 10.

In this way, the rights management unit 520 of the server device 50 transmits information regarding the rights to the fifth business operator U5 when the rights related to subsidies and subsidies of the second business operator U2 are traded with the fifth business operator. Run the association step to associate. Further, the rights management unit 520 of the server device 50 executes a rights information output step of outputting information regarding rights associated with the fifth business operator U5 so that the first business operator U1 can view the information. According to this aspect, the first business operator U1 can grasp the status of transactions (factoring) of rights regarding subsidies and grants by the second business operator U2.

In the example of FIG. 5, the screen generation unit 511 of the server device 50 sends subsidies and grants related to the first business operator U1 and subsidies and grants related to the second business operator U2 to the second business operator U2. Although it has been presented, it may also be presented to the first business operator U1.
