This product description may include a subjective evaluation by the purchaser of the product in addition to the product provider (for example, product manufacturer; manufacturer). With such a shopping site configuration, there is a business model in which a user who visits the shopping site is given an incentive to purchase a product to increase orders. According to this business model, there are advantages to the three parties of the manufacturer who provides the product, the product user who provides the evaluation of the product, and the potential product purchaser who considers the evaluation of the product. That is, the manufacturer can use the evaluation provided by the product user to advertise the product to potential purchasers. In addition, the potential product purchaser can use the evaluation provided by the product user as information for deciding whether or not to purchase the product. The product user can receive benefits such as point addition from the manufacturer by providing the product evaluation.
　前記商品購入者による主観的な評価とは、既に存在する商品を対象とする評価であり、また、商品が存在し購入されていることが前提である。ここで、既に存在する商品に限定されることなく、新しい物品の企画や既存商品の改良等に関するアイディアを対象として、そのアイディアについての評価を得ることができれば、新しい物品の企画や既存商品の改良等の推進力を得ることができ、事業化を加速させることができる。本発明はかかる点に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的は、物品に関するアイディアを収集して新たな物品の作製に利用するための方法を提供することである。 The subjective evaluation by the purchaser of the product is an evaluation targeting an already existing product, and it is premised that the product exists and is purchased. Here, you are not limited to products that already exist, but if you can obtain a rating for the idea regarding the planning of new products or the improvement of existing products, you can plan new products or improve existing products.

It may be a community of members. The community may be a composite community composed of members of any one or more of the above-exemplified communities. Further, this community may be a community composed of members selected by the operator of the idea utilization site selecting and approving.
　アイディア発信ページの構成は特に制限されない。アイディア発信ページのフロントページには、例えば、アイディアを発信している物品の名称および／または画像を備えたボタンが設けられており、このボタンが当該物品についてのアイディアを発信するページへの入り口となっている。ユーザは、アイディア発信ページにアクセスしたのち、アイディアを見たいと思う物品（ここでは、インクジェットプリンタ）についての前記ボタンを押すことで、インクジェットプリンタについてのアイディアを閲覧するためのアイディア発信ページにアクセスすることができる。なお、物品ごとのアイディア発信ページの入り口は、ボタンに限定されず、例えばプルダウン方式の物品選択メニュー等であってもよい。発信部１２０は、例えば、アイディア発信ページにおいて、受信したアイディアを掲示する。アイディアの掲示の方法は特に制限されない。例えば、アイディア発信ページには、物品としてのインクジェットプリンタの画像が掲載されている。そして当該画像において、ユーザがインクジェットプリンタの各部を選択している間、当該部分に関するアイディアが掲示されるように構成されていてもよい。あるいは、ユーザがインクジェットプリンタの各部を選択することで、当該部分に関するアイディアが掲示されるサブページに移動するように構成されていてもよい。これにより、一のユーザから提供されたアイディアを、任意のユーザに発信することができる。あるいは、一のユーザから提供されたアイディアを、特定ユーザに発信することができる。これらのユーザは、自身が提供したアイディアや、他の一のユーザまたは他の複数のユーザから提供されたアイディアを閲覧することができる。以下、任意のユーザと特定ユーザとを特に区別する必要がないときは、単に「ユーザ」と記載する場合がある。 The structure of the idea transmission page is not particularly limited. The front page of the idea transmission page is provided with, for example, a button provided with the name and/or image of the article transmitting the idea, and this button serves as an entrance to the page for transmitting the idea about the article. Has become. After accessing the idea transmission page, the user accesses the idea transmission page for browsing the idea of the inkjet printer by pressing the button of the article (here, the inkjet printer) for which the user wants to see the idea. be able to. The entrance of the idea transmission page for each item is not limited to the button, and may be, for example, a pull-down item selection menu. The transmitting unit 120 posts the received idea on, for example, an idea transmission page. The method of posting the idea is not particularly limited. For example, an image of an inkjet printer as an article is posted on the idea transmission page. Then, in the image, while the user selects each part of the inkjet printer, an idea regarding the part may be displayed. Alternatively, the user may select each part of the inkjet printer to move to a subpage in which an idea regarding the part is displayed. Thus, the idea provided by one user can be sent to any user. Alternatively, the idea provided by one user can be transmitted to a specific user. These users can browse the ideas provided by themselves and the ideas provided by one other user or a plurality of other users. Hereinafter, when it is not necessary to distinguish an arbitrary user from a specific user, the user may be simply referred to as “user”.
　また、アイディア利用サイトは、発信したアイディアに対するユーザの反応を収集するページを含んでいる。本実施形態において、アイディア発信ページ（サブページであってよい）は、発信したアイディアに対するユーザの反応を収集するコンテンツを含んでいる。換言すると、アイディア発信ページは、反応収集ページを兼ねている。反応収集ページは、反応収集部１３０の機能を実現するために用いられる手段の一例である。反応収集部１３０は、例えば、ユーザが反応収集ページに掲示されたアイディアを選択することで、当該ユーザが当該アイディアに対する反応を入力できるように構成されている。例えば、反応収集ページは、ユーザが掲示されている一のアイディアを選択している間、当該アイディアについて予め用意された質問と択一式の回答とが表示されるように構成されていてもよい。そして、ユーザが当該質問の答えに該当する回答を選択することで、当該アイディアについての反応を入力できるように構成されていてもよい。あるいは、反応収集ページは、ユーザが掲示されているアイディアを選択することで、当該アイディアに対する反応をユーザが入力できるサブページに移動するように構成されていてもよい。サブページには、掲示されたアイディアに対する反応を入力するための入力欄が備えられている。ユーザは、情報処理端末２０を介して、入力欄にアイディアに対する反応を入力することができる。これにより、ユーザは、アイディア利用サイトに対してアイディアに対する反応を簡便に提供することができる。 Also, the idea usage site includes a page that collects user reactions to the ideas sent. In the present embodiment, the idea transmission page (which may be a sub page) includes content that collects the user's reaction to the transmitted idea. In other words, the idea transmission page also serves as the reaction collection page. The reaction collection page is an example of means used to realize the function of the reaction collection unit 130. The reaction collection unit 130 is configured, for example, so that the user can input a reaction to the idea by selecting the idea posted on the reaction collection page. For example, the reaction collection page may be configured such that while the user selects one posted idea, a question prepared in advance for the idea and a set of answers are displayed. Then, the user may select the answer corresponding to the answer to the question to input the reaction about the idea. Alternatively, the reaction collection page may be configured such that when the user selects an posted idea, the reaction collection page is moved to a subpage where the user can input a reaction to the idea. The sub-page has an input field for inputting a reaction to the posted idea. The user can input a reaction to the idea in the input field via the information processing terminal 20. With this, the user can easily provide a reaction to the idea to the idea utilization site.
　反応収集部１３０は、アイディアに対する反応をユーザから受信する。反応収集部１３０は、例えば、ユーザが反応収集ページの入力欄に入力した反応を受信し、物品名（物品を表すコード等であってもよい）およびアイディアと関連付けて記憶する。反応収集部１３０は、例えば、反応の他に、ユーザに関する情報や、当該ユーザと当該物品との関連を示す情報を受信するように構成されていてもよい。ユーザに関する情報および情報収集方法としては、受信部１１０の欄に記載したのと同様であってよいため、重ねての説明は省略する。反応収集部１３０がこのようなユーザ情報を受信する場合、反応収集部１３０は、物品名と、アイディアおよびこれに対する反応と、これらのユーザ情報とを関連付けて記憶する。これにより、反応収集部１３０は、アイディアに対するユーザの反応を効率良く集めることができる。 The reaction collection unit 130 receives a reaction to the idea from the user. The reaction collection unit 130 receives, for example, a reaction input by the user in the input field of the reaction collection page, and stores the reaction in association with the article name (may be a code or the like representing the article) and the idea. The reaction collection unit 130 may be configured to receive, for example, in addition to the reaction, information about the user and information indicating the relationship between the user and the article. The information about the user and the information collecting method may be the same as those described in the section of the receiving unit 110, and thus the repeated description will be omitted. When the reaction collection unit 130 receives such user information, the reaction collection unit 130 stores the article name, the idea and the reaction thereto, and the user information in association with each other. Thereby, the reaction collection unit 130 can efficiently collect the user's reaction to the idea.
　なお、ここで「反応」とは、アイディアを見たことによってユーザに発生する心の動きの全てを包含する。したがって、反応は、当該物品の購買意欲を変化させたり、購入の要否を決定するための情報に限定されない。例えば、反応とは、例えば、アイディアについて「いいね」と感じるポジティブな反応や、「よくない」と思うネガティブな反応の両方を含み得る。より具体的には、反応は、例えば、当該アイディアを反映させた反映物品について、自身の購買意欲の有無の他に、市場での物品価値の向上の有無、オーダー（注文）、反映物品の外観、品質、価格、生産性についての主観的または客観的評価等を含むことができる。また、物品の外観には、形状や構造、質感等に対する、高級感、安心感、安定感、予想触感、意外性、堅実性、柔軟性、清潔感、かわいらしさ、斬新さ等の程度を含む。物品の品質とは、例えば、各種耐久性（各種強度、耐熱性等を含む）等の物理的性質および／または化学的性質、機能性、安全性、軽量性、生産性等の程度を含む。例えば品質は、所定の基準にしたがって定量可能な物理量によって表すことが可能な客観的評価を含むことができる。また、反応は、その他のあらゆるアノテーション（注釈）を含むことができる。なお、本技術の有意性を明瞭に表すとの観点から、一実施形態において、反応は、ユーザ自身の購買意欲の有無を表す反応を除く、その他の反応を含むものに限定してもよい。さらに反応は、ユーザ自身の購買意欲の有無を表す反応を除く、その他の反応に限定してもよい。 Note that “reaction” here includes all emotional movements that occur to the user when he sees the idea. Therefore, the reaction is not limited to the information for changing the willingness to purchase the article or determining whether the purchase is necessary. For example, the reaction may include both a positive reaction that "likes" an idea and a negative reaction that "bad", for example. More specifically, the reaction is, for example, regarding the reflected product reflecting the idea, whether or not there is an increase in the product value in the market, the order (order), the appearance of the reflected product, in addition to whether or not the customer has a purchase intention. , Quality, price, productivity, subjective or objective evaluation, etc. can be included. In addition, the appearance of the article includes the degree of luxury, security, stability, expected touch, unexpectedness, solidity, flexibility, cleanliness, cuteness, novelty, etc. of shape, structure, texture, etc. .. The quality of an article includes, for example, physical properties such as various durability (including various strengths and heat resistances) and/or chemical properties, functionality, safety, lightness, productivity and the like. For example, quality can include an objective rating that can be represented by a quantifiable physical quantity according to predetermined criteria. Also, the reaction can include any other annotations. From the viewpoint of clearly expressing the significance of the present technology, in one embodiment, the reaction may be limited to a reaction including a reaction other than a reaction indicating whether or not the user has a purchase intention. Furthermore, the reaction may be limited to other reactions excluding the reaction indicating whether or not the user himself/herself is willing to purchase.
　利用部１４０は、ユーザから受信したアイディアを、当該アイディアを利用するサーバー管理者に表示する。利用部１４０は、例えば、ディスプレイ１５にアイディアを表示する。これにより、サーバー管理者は、ユーザから受信したアイディアを、物品の製造のために利用することができる。 The usage unit 140 displays the idea received from the user to the server administrator who uses the idea. The utilization unit 140 displays the idea on the display 15, for example. As a result, the server administrator can use the idea received from the user for manufacturing the article.
　［情報処理端末］
　情報処理端末２０は、インターネットに接続可能な電子機器であって、典型的にはコンピュータにより構成されている。情報処理端末２０は、図２に示すように、例えばＩ／Ｆ２６とＣＰＵ２７とＲＯＭ２８とＲＡＭ２９とを備えている。また、情報処理端末２０は、例えばＦＰＧＡ（field-programmable gate array）等の書き換え可能なプログラマブルロジックデバイスによって構成されていてもよい。ＦＰＧＡは、例えば、集積回路によって構成されるＣＰＵコアや、乗算器、ＲＡＭ、および関連する周辺回路等を含むことができる。情報処理端末２０は、入力部２１およびディスプレイ２２を備えている。情報処理端末２０は、例えば、デスクトップ型やノート型のパーソナルコンピュータや、タブレット端末、スマートフォン等の携帯型端末等であってよい。 [Information processing terminal]

The display 22 may be, for example, a display made of liquid crystal, organic EL (electroluminescence), or the like. The display 22 may be integrated with the touch panel type input unit 21.
　［アイディア利用方法］
　以下、物品がインクジェットプリンタである場合を例に、本技術に係るアイディア利用方法、およびこれに関連するアイディア利用装置、システムについて説明する。ここに開示されるアイディア利用方法は、サーバー１０と、これに関連する１つまたは複数の情報処理端末２０によって実現されるアイディア利用サイトの全体を、サーバー１０が統合的に制御し利用することで、好適に実施することができる。アイディア利用方法は、本質的に、図３に示すＳ１００、Ｓ１１０、およびＳ１４０の３つのステップを含んでいる。 [How to use ideas]
Hereinafter, an idea utilization method according to the present technology, and an idea utilization device and system related to the idea will be described with reference to a case where an article is an inkjet printer as an example. The idea use method disclosed here is that the server 10 integrally controls and uses the entire idea use site realized by the server 10 and one or more information processing terminals 20 related thereto. Can be suitably implemented. The idea utilization method essentially includes the three steps S100, S110, and S140 shown in FIG.
　テーマ設定ステップＳ１００では、サーバー管理者である製造メーカーの構成員が、このアイディア利用サイトで募集する物品に関するアイディアについてのテーマを決定する。決定したテーマは、テーマ設定部１００に記憶させる。 In the theme setting step S100, the member of the manufacturer who is the server administrator determines the theme for the idea regarding the item to be recruited on this idea use site. The determined theme is stored in the theme setting unit 100.
　次のアイディア受信ステップＳ１１０では、物品に関するアイディアをユーザから受信する。サーバー１０は、まず、インターネット上に、任意のユーザがアクセスできるアイディア利用サイトを公開し、テーマ設定部１００に設定されたテーマに沿って、対象物品であるインクジェットプリンタに関するアイディアを募集する。アイディア利用サイトは、必要に応じてユーザに関する情報の提供を併せて要求する。ユーザは、情報処理端末２０によりアイディア利用サイトにアクセスし、自らが関心のある物品であるインクジェットプリンタに関しテーマに沿ってアイディアを入力することで、当該アイディアをアイディア利用サイトに送信する。 In the next idea receiving step S110, an idea regarding the article is received from the user. First, the server 10 publishes an idea utilization site accessible to any user on the Internet, and recruits ideas regarding the target inkjet printer according to the theme set in the theme setting unit 100. The idea utilization site also requests the provision of information about the user when necessary. The user transmits the idea to the idea utilization site by accessing the idea utilization site through the information processing terminal 20 and inputting an idea according to the theme of the inkjet printer which is an item of interest to the user.
　一例として、第１ユーザは、このサーバー管理者である製造メーカーが提供するインクジェットプリンタのユーザであり、既に取得しているＩＤとパスワードを用いてアイディア利用サイトにアクセスしている。第１ユーザは、アイディア募集ページにおいて、「ある特定の機能（例えば、熱線遮蔽および紫外線カット機能）が備えられた機能性フィルムに、ある特定のインクを使用して絵柄を印刷したとき、当該機能性フィルムにダメージが発生したために、このような印刷は実行しない方が良い」という旨の第１アイディアを入力欄に入力し、提供する。 As an example, the first user is a user of the inkjet printer provided by the manufacturer who is the server administrator, and accesses the idea usage site using the ID and password that he has already acquired. On the idea recruitment page, the first user says, "When a pattern is printed using a specific ink on a functional film having a specific function (for example, heat ray shielding and ultraviolet ray cutting function), It is better not to perform such printing because the damage has occurred on the permeable film."
　また、第２ユーザは、任意のユーザであり、「表面に凹凸のある防水透湿性不織布に印刷したい」という旨の第２アイディアを入力欄に入力し、アイディア募集ページに提供する。 Also, the 2nd user is an arbitrary user, and enters the 2nd idea of "I want to print on a waterproof/moisture permeable nonwoven fabric having irregularities on the surface" in the input field and provides it on the idea recruitment page.
　サーバー１０の受信部１１０は、ユーザが送信したアイディアおよびユーザに関する情報を受信する。受信部１１０が受信したアイディアおよびユーザに関する情報は、例えば、互いに関連付けて記憶部１４に記憶される。受信部１１０は、例えば、第１ユーザが入力したＩＤに基づき、第１ユーザのユーザ情報に、当該製造メーカーのユーザ登録をしていることを示すコード情報を付与する。受信部１１０は、例えば、第２ユーザがＩＤを入力しなかったことに基づき、第２ユーザのユーザ情報に、当該ユーザ登録をしていることを確認していないことを示すコード情報を付与することができる。そして受信部１１０は、例えば、第１ユーザが提供したアイディアと、第１ユーザが入力したＩＤと、当該第１ユーザが当該製造メーカーのユーザ登録をしていることを示すコード情報とを関連付けて、記憶部１４に記憶する。また、受信部１１０は、例えば、第２ユーザが提供したアイディアと、第２ユーザが当該製造メーカーのユーザ登録をしていることを確認していないことを示すコード情報とを関連付けて、記憶部１４に記憶する。 The receiving unit 110 of the server 10 receives an idea transmitted by the user and information about the user. The information about the idea and the user received by the receiving unit 110 is stored in the storage unit 14 in association with each other, for example. The receiving unit 110, for example, adds code information indicating that the user registration of the manufacturer is performed to the user information of the first user based on the ID input by the first user. The receiving unit 110, for example, based on the fact that the second user did not input the ID, adds the code information indicating that the user registration of the second user has not been confirmed to the user information of the second user. be able to. Then, the receiving unit 110 associates, for example, the idea provided by the first user, the ID input by the first user, and the code information indicating that the first user is registered as a user of the manufacturer. , In the storage unit 14. In addition, the receiving unit 110 associates, for example, the idea provided by the second user with the code information indicating that the second user has not confirmed that the user registration of the manufacturer is performed, and the storage unit 110 Store in 14.
　利用ステップＳ１４０では、新たな物品を作製するために、ユーザから受信したアイディアを利用する。例えば、利用部１４０は、ユーザから受信したアイディアを、リストとしてディスプレイ１５に表示する。このような構成によると、製造メーカーは、ユーザから受信したアイディアを知得し、新たな物品の製造のために利用することができる。ここで、新たな物品とは、概念等が既存の物品と全く異なる新しい物品であってもよいし、既存の物品を改変（改造や改良を包含する）することで新たな価値を備える物品であってもよい。したがって、例えば、新たな物品を作製とは、物品の製品化、改造、改良、およびこれらの検討の少なくとも１つであってよい。検討とは、製品化、改造、改良のための資材調達などの少なくとも１つであってよい。また、新たな物品を作製するためのアイディアの利用には、物品の製造工程や製造技術の改良、創出、コスト分析や、品質・性能を改善する技術革新、指示書等の作成および送付等を含み得る。アイディアの利用の形態は、収集されたアイディアに応じて適宜変更し得る。これにより、新しい物品の企画や既存物品の改良について、推進力を得ることができ、事業化を加速させることができる。 In the use step S140, the idea received from the user is used to create a new item. For example, the utilization unit 140 displays the ideas received from the user on the display 15 as a list. With such a configuration, the manufacturer can know the idea received from the user and use it for manufacturing a new article. Here, a new article may be a new article whose concept is completely different from an existing article, or an article having a new value by modifying an existing article (including modification and improvement). It may be. Thus, for example, creating a new article may be at least one of commercializing, modifying, improving, and examining these articles. The examination may be at least one of commercialization, remodeling, procurement of materials for improvement, and the like. In addition, in order to use ideas to create new products, improvements and creation of product manufacturing processes and technologies, cost analysis, technological innovation to improve quality and performance, creation and sending of instructions, etc. May be included. The usage form of the idea can be appropriately changed depending on the idea collected. As a result, it is possible to gain the impetus for planning new products and improving existing products, and to accelerate commercialization.
　前記構成によると、物品に関するアイディアを収集して新たな物品の作製に利用するための方法が提供される。また、製造メーカーがアイディアを利用して新たな物品を製造した場合、アイディア提供者であるユーザは、自らのアイディアを反映して要望を満たす新しい物品を入手することができる。一般に、製造メーカーが反映しうるアイディアの幅は、アイディア提供者が個人で反映しうるアイディアの幅よりも広く、より低コストで完成度が高い。したがって、アイディアを提供したユーザは、自身では実現し得ない物品を入手できる可能性がある。したがって、ここに開示されるアイディア利用方法によると、製造メーカーとアイディア提供者との両者が、それぞれメリットを享受することができる仕組みが提供される。 According to the above configuration, a method is provided for collecting an idea about an article and using it for creating a new article. In addition, when a manufacturer manufactures a new product using an idea, the user who is the idea provider can obtain a new product that reflects his own idea and satisfies the request. In general, the range of ideas that can be reflected by the manufacturer is wider than the range of ideas that the idea provider can individually reflect, and the cost is low and the degree of completion is high. Therefore, the user who has provided the idea may be able to obtain an article that cannot be realized by himself. Therefore, according to the idea utilization method disclosed here, both the manufacturer and the idea provider are provided with a mechanism in which they can enjoy their respective merits.
　なお、ここに開示される技術によると、たとえテーマが設定されている場合であっても、物品に関するアイディアは、世界中から極めて膨大な数で収集され得る。そこで、図４Ａに示すように、受信ステップＳ１１０は、受信した物品に関するアイディアを複数のグループに分類したリストを生成する第１リスト作成サブステップ（ＳＳ）Ｓ１１２を含んでもよい。また、図２に示すように、受信部１１０は、受信した物品に関するアイディアを複数のグループに分類したリストを生成する第１リスト作成部１１２を備えていてもよい。 Note that, according to the technology disclosed here, even if a theme is set, an extremely large number of ideas about goods can be collected from all over the world. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4A, the receiving step S110 may include a first list creation sub-step (SS) S112 that creates a list in which the ideas regarding the received articles are classified into a plurality of groups. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the receiving unit 110 may include a first list creating unit 112 that creates a list in which the ideas regarding the received articles are classified into a plurality of groups.
　このサブステップＳ１１２において、第１リスト作成部１１２は、例えば、受信した物品に関するアイディアを複数のグループに分類したリストを作成する。図５は、第１リスト作成部１１２が作成するリストの一例である。リストにおける「属性」は、アイディアを分類するグループと同意である。このグループは、例えば、サイトを運営する製造メーカーが予め設けておいてもよい。グループとしては、例えば、テーマ設定部１００に設定されたテーマに対応したアイディアが属するグループが設けられるとよい。また、グループとしては、例えば、物品の種類（例えば、物品番号等）や、物品の部品（例えば、吐出ヘッド、インクカートリッジ、インク供給システム等）、物品の機能（例えば、重ね印刷機能、高精細印刷機能等）、物品の用途（サイン印刷、布帛印刷等）、物品の使用に用いる材料（例えば、インクの種類、インクの品番、メディアの種類、メディアの品番等）、物品の使用方法（例えば、ロールメディアに印刷する、自動連続印刷する）等の属性が挙げられる。なお、受信部１１０がアイディアの他にユーザに関する情報を受信した場合は、第１リスト作成部１１２は、受信した物品に関するアイディアに加え、ユーザ情報についても、複数のグループに分類したリストを作成してもよい。ユーザ情報についてのグループは、例えば、ユーザの性別、年齢、年代、居住地、出身地、職業、サーバー管理者である製造メーカーの提供する物品の所有の有無および所有する当該物品の物品コード、当該物品の使用歴、当該物品の関心度合、当該物品の購入予定の有無等の属性ごとに種々設けられていてもよい。このグループは、例えば、属性ごとに、いずれにも分類されないアイディアが分類される「その他」のグループを含んでいてもよい。 In this sub-step S112, the first list creation unit 112 creates, for example, a list in which the received ideas regarding articles are classified into a plurality of groups. FIG. 5 is an example of a list created by the first list creation unit 112. An "attribute" in the list is synonymous with a grouping of ideas. This group may be provided in advance by the manufacturer who operates the site, for example. As the group, for example, a group to which an idea corresponding to the theme set in the theme setting unit 100 belongs may be provided. Further, as a group, for example, the type of the article (eg, article number, etc.), the parts of the article (eg, ejection head, ink cartridge, ink supply system, etc.), the function of the article (eg, overlay printing function, high definition (Printing function, etc.), application of the article (sign printing, cloth printing, etc.), material used for using the article (for example, ink type, ink article number, media type, media article number, etc.), article usage method (for example, , Printing on roll media, automatic continuous printing) and the like. When the receiving unit 110 receives information about a user in addition to an idea, the first list creating unit 112 creates a list of user information, in addition to the received idea about an item, classified into a plurality of groups. May be. The group of user information includes, for example, the user's sex, age, age, place of residence, place of origin, occupation, whether or not the product provided by the manufacturer who is the server administrator is owned, and the product code of the product owned by the user. Various items may be provided for each attribute such as the history of use of the article, the degree of interest in the article, whether or not to purchase the article. This group may include, for example, an "other" group in which ideas that are not classified in any of the categories are classified for each attribute.
　第１リスト作成部１１２は、アイディアについての情報を解析して、当該アイディアが予め用意されたいずれのグループに属するかを判断する。一のアイディアは、複数のグループに分類されてもよい。例えば、そして第１リスト作成部１１２は、受信部１１０が受信したアイディアに、このアイディアが属するグループを示す情報を関連付ける。例えば、第１リスト作成部１１２は、アイディアと、該アイディアの対象である物品名に対応する情報と、当該アイディアが属する複数のグループに対応する情報と、を関連付けて、第１リストを作成する。これにより、アイディアを複数のグループに分類した第１リストを生成することができる。この第１リストを利用することで、受信した多数のアイディアを、いずれかの属性（例えば、物品の部品である「吐出ヘッド」）に関連するアイディアごとに分類（グループ化）することができる。また、この第１リストを利用することで、多数のアイディアの共通性を、例えば、ユーザ情報の属性によって分類（グループ化）することができる。そして受信部１１０は、アイディアに関する情報を、このようなリストとして記憶部１４に記憶することができる。 The first list creation unit 112 analyzes information about the idea and determines which group the idea belongs to in advance. An idea may be classified into multiple groups. For example, the first list creating unit 112 associates the idea received by the receiving unit 110 with the information indicating the group to which the idea belongs. For example, the first list creation unit 112 creates a first list by associating an idea, information corresponding to the article name that is the target of the idea, and information corresponding to a plurality of groups to which the idea belongs. .. This makes it possible to generate a first list in which ideas are classified into a plurality of groups. By using the first list, a large number of received ideas can be classified (grouped) by ideas related to any attribute (for example, “ejection head” that is a part of the article). Also, by using this first list, the commonality of many ideas can be classified (grouped) by the attribute of user information, for example. Then, the receiving unit 110 can store the information about the ideas in the storage unit 14 as such a list.
　第１リスト作成部１１２が作成したリストは、例えば、利用部１４０がディスプレイ１５に表示する。このリストに記録されたアイディアについて、製造メーカーの構成員は、例えば、任意のグループごとにアイディアをソートしたり、構成アイディア数が多いグループごとに並べ替えたり、一部のグループに属するアイディアを抽出して表示する、等といった処理を行うことができる。例えば、第１リスト作成部１１２が作成したリストを用いることで、テーマ設定部１００に設定されたテーマに対応したアイディアのみが属するグループを抽出することができる。あるいは、利用部１４０は、予め設定された条件で、任意のグループごとにアイディアをソートしたり、構成アイディア数が多いグループごとに並べ替えたり、一部のグループに属するアイディアを抽出して表示する、といった処理を行うことができるように構成されている。これにより、ユーザから受信したアイディアを、勘弁かつ効果的に利用することができる。 The list created by the first list creation unit 112 is displayed on the display 15 by the usage unit 140, for example. With regard to the ideas recorded in this list, the members of the manufacturer, for example, sort the ideas by arbitrary groups, sort by the groups with the largest number of constituent ideas, or extract the ideas belonging to some groups. It is possible to perform processing such as displaying by displaying. For example, by using the list created by the first list creating unit 112, it is possible to extract the groups to which only the ideas corresponding to the theme set in the theme setting unit 100 belong. Alternatively, the utilization unit 140 sorts the ideas for each arbitrary group, rearranges the groups having a large number of constituent ideas, and extracts and displays the ideas belonging to some groups under preset conditions. , And so on can be performed. As a result, the idea received from the user can be effectively used.
　なお、本発明者らの検討によると、同一の物品であっても、ユーザ属性によって使用方法等が大きく異なる場合が多いことが確認されている。例えば、世界の第１の地域に住むユーザには、物品に対して機械的な改良を施すことに興味を示したり、希望したりする傾向が見られる。これとは逆に、世界の第２の地域に住むユーザは、同一の物品に対してソフトウェアによる改良を施すことに興味を示したり、希望したりする傾向が見られる。このことから、第１リスト作成部１１２は、例えば、分類されたアイディアに、可能な限り、少なくとも当該アイディアを発信したユーザの居住地を関連付けてリストを作成するように構成されているとよい。あるいは、製造メーカーが予め設定した前記第１の地域や第２の地域のそれぞれにユーザの居住地が属するかどうかを紐付けてリストを作成するように構成されているとよい。また、利用部１４０は、このようなアイディアと、当該アイディアまたはユーザ情報の属性とに有意な関連性があるかどうかを判断し、有意な関連性があると判断された属性に分類されているアイディアを表示するようにしてもよい。利用部１４０による関連性の有無の判断には、例えば、予めユーザの嗜好と地域性等との属性の関連性について学習済みである人工知能（ＡＩ）や、さらに学習内容を最適化可能な人工知能（ＡＩ）等を利用することができる。これにより、地域性のあるアイディアを抽出し、新たな製品の作製に簡便に利用することができる。 According to a study conducted by the present inventors, it has been confirmed that the same item often has a large difference in usage method depending on user attributes. For example, users living in the first regions of the world tend to be interested in and/or desire to make mechanical improvements to their articles. On the contrary, users living in the second region of the world tend to be interested in or desire to improve the same article by software. From this, the first list creation unit 112 may be configured to create a list, for example, by associating the classified ideas with at least the residence of the user who has sent the idea as much as possible. Alternatively, the list may be created by associating whether the residence of the user belongs to each of the first area and the second area preset by the manufacturer. In addition, the utilization unit 140 determines whether or not such an idea is significantly related to the attribute of the idea or user information, and is classified into the attributes determined to be significantly related. You may display the idea. The use unit 140 determines whether or not there is relevance, for example, artificial intelligence (AI) that has been learned in advance about the relevance of attributes such as user preference and regionality, or artificial learning that can further optimize learning content. Intelligence (AI) or the like can be used. This makes it possible to extract regional ideas and easily use them for the production of new products.
　なお、アイディア利用方法は、図３に示すように、受信ステップＳ１１０の後に、発信ステップＳ１２０と反応収集ステップＳ１３０とを含んでもよい。発信ステップＳ１２０では、例えば、発信部１２０が、受信部１１０が受信した物品に関するアイディアを、任意のユーザに発信する。サーバー１０の発信部１２０は、受信部１１０が受信したアイディアをアイディア発信ページに掲示する。なお、発信部１２０は、受信部１１０が受信した物品に関するアイディアを、予め設定されたコミュニティに属する特定ユーザにのみ発信してもよい。この場合、サーバー１０の発信部１２０は、受信部１１０が受信したアイディアを、特定ユーザのみがアクセスすることができるアイディア発信ページに掲示するとよい。反応収集ステップＳ１３０では、例えば、反応収集部１３０が、発信した物品に関するアイディアに対する反応をユーザから収集する。サーバー１０の反応収集部１３０は、例えば、アイディア利用サイトに反応収集ページを設ける等して、ユーザに対してアイディアに対する反応を募集する。発信されたアイディアに対して関心をもったユーザは、情報処理端末２０によりアイディア利用サイトにアクセスし、反応収集ページに反応を入力することで、当該反応をアイディア利用サイトに送信することができる。アイディア利用サイトは、必要に応じてユーザに関する情報の提供を併せて要求する。ユーザは、許容できる範囲で自身に関する情報を入力することで、当該情報をアイディア利用サイトに送信する。ユーザが既にユーザに関する情報をアイディア利用サイトに提供している場合は、アイディア利用サイトは、当該ユーザのアイディアを、既に登録されているユーザＩＤに関連付ける。反応収集部１３０は、ユーザが送信した反応、およびユーザに関する情報を受信する。反応収集部１３０が受信した反応およびユーザに関する情報は、例えば、互いに関連付けて記憶部１４に記憶される。これにより、アイディア利用サイトは、物品に関するアイディアと、これに対する反応とを収集することができる。 Note that the idea usage method may include a transmission step S120 and a reaction collection step S130 after the reception step S110, as shown in FIG. In the transmission step S120, for example, the transmission unit 120 transmits the idea regarding the article received by the reception unit 110 to any user. The transmission unit 120 of the server 10 posts the idea received by the reception unit 110 on the idea transmission page. In addition, the transmission unit 120 may transmit the idea about the article received by the reception unit 110 only to a specific user who belongs to a preset community. In this case, the transmission unit 120 of the server 10 may post the idea received by the reception unit 110 on an idea transmission page that only a specific user can access. In the reaction collecting step S130, for example, the reaction collecting unit 130 collects the reaction to the idea regarding the transmitted article from the user. The reaction collection unit 130 of the server 10 recruits the reaction to the idea to the user, for example, by providing a reaction collection page on the idea utilization site. A user who is interested in the transmitted idea can transmit the reaction to the idea utilization site by accessing the idea utilization site through the information processing terminal 20 and inputting the reaction in the reaction collection page. The idea utilization site also requests the provision of information about the user when necessary. The user sends the information to the idea utilization site by inputting the information about himself within the allowable range. If the user has already provided information about the user to the idea usage site, the idea usage site associates the idea of the user with the already registered user ID. The reaction collection unit 130 receives the reaction transmitted by the user and the information about the user. The information on the reaction and the user received by the reaction collection unit 130 is stored in the storage unit 14 in association with each other, for example. Thereby, the idea utilization site can collect the idea about the article and the reaction to the idea.
　このような構成によると、サーバー１０は、アイディアをユーザあるいは特定ユーザに対して発信し、このユーザあるいは特定ユーザから当該アイディアに対する反応を収集することができる。したがって、アイディアを出したユーザのニーズだけでなく、このアイディアについて他のユーザあるいは特定ユーザの反応を得ることができる。これによって、アイディアを得るだけでなく、例えば、得たアイディアの質をも評価することができる。その結果、利用ステップＳ１４０においては、収集した前記ユーザからの前記反応を考慮してアイディアを利用することができる。製造メーカーは、多くのアイディアの中から質の高いアイディアについて関心を示すことができる。また、ユーザは、アイディアを知得できるというメリットがある。したがって、ここに開示されるアイディア利用方法によると、製造メーカーとアイディア提供者と反応提供者とのそれぞれが、メリットを享受できる仕組みが提供される。ここで、反応収集ステップにおけるユーザあるいは特定ユーザは、発信ステップにおけるユーザあるいは特定ユーザと、同一であってもよいし、一部または全部が異なってもよい。 With such a configuration, the server 10 can send an idea to a user or a specific user and collect a reaction to the idea from the user or the specific user. Therefore, it is possible to obtain not only the needs of the user who has generated the idea, but also the reaction of other users or specific users with respect to this idea. In this way, not only the idea can be obtained, but also the quality of the obtained idea can be evaluated. As a result, in the use step S140, the idea can be used in consideration of the collected reactions from the user. Manufacturers can be interested in quality ideas out of many. In addition, the user has the advantage of being able to learn the idea. Therefore, according to the idea use method disclosed herein, a mechanism is provided in which each of the manufacturer, the idea provider, and the reaction provider can enjoy the merit. Here, the user or the specific user in the reaction collecting step may be the same as the user or the specific user in the transmitting step, or part or all of them may be different.
　なお上述の通り、ここに開示される技術によると、物品に関するアイディアは、膨大な数で収集され得る。そこで、発信ステップＳ１２０は、第１リスト作成部１１２が作製したリストにおいて、少なくとも１つのグループに分類されたアイディアをユーザあるいは特定ユーザに発信するように構成されていてもよい。発信ステップＳ１２０では、例えば、特定発信部１２２が、少なくとも１つのグループに分類されたアイディアを特定ユーザに発信する。特定発信部１２２は、例えば、少なくとも１つのグループに分類されたアイディアを、第１リスト作成部１１２が作製したリストから抽出して、特定ユーザのみがアクセスできるアイディア発信ページに掲示する。特定発信部１２２は、例えば、当該グループに分類されていないアイディアについては、アイディア発信ページに掲示しない。これにより、例えば、すくなくともテーマに沿うアイディアのみをアイディア発信ページに掲示し、テーマに沿わないアイディアはアイディア発信ページに掲示しないことができる。 Note that, as described above, according to the technology disclosed herein, a great number of ideas regarding articles can be collected. Therefore, the sending step S120 may be configured to send the idea classified into at least one group in the list created by the first list creating unit 112 to the user or the specific user. In the transmitting step S120, for example, the specific transmitting unit 122 transmits the ideas classified into at least one group to the specific user. The specific transmission unit 122 extracts, for example, the ideas classified into at least one group from the list created by the first list creation unit 112 and posts them on the idea transmission page accessible only to the specific user. The specific transmission unit 122 does not post, for example, an idea not classified in the group on the idea transmission page. Thus, for example, it is possible to post only the ideas that match the theme at least on the idea transmission page and not post the ideas that do not follow the theme on the idea transmission page.
　ここで、一例として、発信部１２０が備える特定発信部１２２は、特定の少なくとも一つのグループに分類されたアイディアと、特定ユーザのユーザ情報の属性とを分析し、当該アイディアに興味を有すると予想されるコミュニティに属する特定ユーザを選定し、当該特定ユーザに対して、アイディアを発信するように構成されていてもよい。換言すれば、特定発信部１２２は、収集したアイディアの全てを特定ユーザに発信してもよいし、収集したアイディアの一部のみを特定ユーザに発信してもよい。特当該コミュニティに属する特定ユーザが、分類されたアイディアに対して興味を有するかどうかの判断には、例えば、予めユーザ情報の属性とそのユーザの嗜好の属性等との関連性について学習済みである人工知能（ＡＩ）や、さらに学習内容を最適化可能な人工知能（ＡＩ）等を利用することができる。これにより、反応収集ステップＳ１３０において、特定ユーザが関心を示す分類に属するアイディアに対する反応を、選択的に得ることができる。また、特定ユーザの関心の低いアイディアに対する反応は収集せずにすむ。その結果、より感度の高い反応のあるアイディアおよびその反応を、新たな物品の製造に利用することができる。 Here, as an example, the specific transmission unit 122 included in the transmission unit 120 analyzes the idea classified into at least one specific group and the attribute of the user information of the specific user, and is expected to be interested in the idea. It may be configured to select a specific user belonging to the specified community and send an idea to the specific user. In other words, the specific transmission unit 122 may transmit all the collected ideas to the specific user, or may transmit only some of the collected ideas to the specific user. To determine whether or not a specific user belonging to the particular community is interested in the classified idea, for example, the relationship between the attribute of the user information and the attribute of the preference of the user has been learned in advance. It is possible to use artificial intelligence (AI), artificial intelligence (AI) that can further optimize learning content, and the like. Accordingly, in the reaction collecting step S130, it is possible to selectively obtain the reaction to the idea belonging to the category in which the specific user is interested. Further, it is not necessary to collect the reaction to the idea of which the specific user has low interest. As a result, more sensitive and reactive ideas and their reactions can be utilized in the manufacture of new articles.
　なお、ここに開示される技術によると、物品に関するアイディアに対する反応も、膨大な数で収集され得る。そこで、図４Ｂに示すように、反応収集ステップＳ１３０は、収集した反応に基づいて、当該反応の対象であるアイディアを複数のグループに分類したリストを作成する第３リストサブステップＳ１３２を含んでもよい。また、図２に示すように、反応収集部１３０は、収集した反応に基づいて、当該反応の対象であるアイディアを複数のグループに分類したリストを作成する第３リスト作成部１３２を備えていてもよい。 Note that, according to the technology disclosed herein, a huge number of reactions to ideas regarding articles can be collected. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4B, the reaction collection step S130 may include a third list substep S132 that creates a list in which the ideas that are the target of the reaction are classified into a plurality of groups based on the collected reactions. .. In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the reaction collection unit 130 includes a third list creation unit 132 that creates a list in which ideas that are the subject of the reaction are classified into a plurality of groups based on the collected reactions. Good.
　このサブステップＳ１３２において、第３リスト作成部１３２は、例えば、収集したアイディアに対する反応を複数のグループに分類してリストを作成する。図５は、第３リスト作成部１３２が作成するリストの一例である。リストにおいて、反応を分類するグループは、「属性」と表現されている。このグループは、例えば、サイトを運営する製造メーカーが予め設けておいてもよい。このグループは、例えば、アイディアについての分類と同様に、物品の種類（例えば、物品番号等）や、物品の部品（例えば、吐出ヘッド、インクカートリッジ、インク供給システム等）、物品の機能（例えば、重ね印刷機能、高精細印刷機能等）、物品の用途（サイン印刷、布帛印刷等）、物品の使用に用いる材料（例えば、インクの種類、インクの品番、メディアの種類、メディアの品番等）、物品の使用方法（例えば、ロールメディアに印刷する、自動連続印刷する）等の属性ごとに設けられてもよい。また、このグループは、例えば、反応収集ページの構成に応じて設定してもよい。一例として、反応収集ページにおける反応入力欄が、アイディアについて予め用意された択一式の回答を選択することで、反応を入力するように構成されているとき、反応についてのグループは、当該択一式の回答ごとに設けてもよい。また、グループは、ポジティブな反応と、ネガティブな反応とに分けるグループを含んでいてもよい。ポジティブな反応は、さらに、複数のサブグループに分類されていてもよい。このようなサブグループとしては、アイディアが有用であるという反応、アイディアを試してみたいという反応、アイディアを実現して欲しいという反応、アイディアを反映した物品が欲しいという反応等であってよいネガティブな反応は、さらに、複数のサブグループに分類されていてもよい。このようなサブグループとしては、アイディアを実現するためには何らかの問題を含むという反応、アイディアを反映した物品は何らかの問題を含むという反応、アイディアがよくないという反応等であってよい。また、反応の数の時間変化から、反応数の増加率が所定の閾値を超えたアイディアについて、ホットタイムなアイディアが属するグループに分類されてもよい。このホットタイムなアイディアは、適当な時間間隔で更新される。さらに、反応についてのグループは、対象物品であるインクジェットプリンタとは異なる物品についての反応を含むものであってもよい。このグループは、例えば、いずれにも分類されない反応が分類される「その他」のグループを含んでいてもよい。一の反応は、複数のグループに分類されていてもよい。 In this sub-step S132, the third list creation unit 132 creates a list by classifying the reactions to the collected ideas into a plurality of groups, for example. FIG. 5 is an example of a list created by the third list creation unit 132. In the list, groups that classify reactions are expressed as "attributes". This group may be provided in advance by the manufacturer who operates the site, for example. This group includes, for example, the types of articles (for example, article numbers, etc.), the parts of the articles (for example, ejection heads, ink cartridges, ink supply systems, etc.), and the functions of the articles (for example, as well as classification for ideas) Overprinting function, high-definition printing function, etc., application of articles (sign printing, cloth printing, etc.), materials used in the use of articles (for example, ink type, ink product number, media type, media product number, etc.), It may be provided for each attribute such as the usage method of the article (for example, printing on a roll medium or automatic continuous printing). Further, this group may be set according to the configuration of the reaction collection page, for example. As an example, when the reaction input field on the reaction collection page is configured to enter a reaction by selecting an alternative set of answers prepared for an idea, the group for the reaction is It may be provided for each answer. Moreover, the group may include a group divided into a positive reaction and a negative reaction. Positive reactions may be further divided into multiple subgroups. As a subgroup like this, there are negative reactions that may be reactions that ideas are useful, reactions that want to try ideas, reactions that want to realize ideas, reactions that want goods that reflect ideas, etc. Further, it may be classified into a plurality of subgroups. Such a sub-group may be a reaction that some problem occurs to realize the idea, a reaction that the article reflecting the idea has some problem, a reaction that the idea is not good, and the like. Also, from the change in the number of reactions over time, ideas whose increase rate in the number of reactions exceeds a predetermined threshold may be classified into groups to which hot-time ideas belong. This hot idea is updated at appropriate time intervals. Furthermore, the group regarding the reaction may include the reaction regarding the article different from the inkjet printer which is the target article. This group may include, for example, an “other” group into which reactions that are not classified into any of the above are classified. One reaction may be classified into a plurality of groups.
　第３リスト作成部１３２は、反応についての情報を解析して、当該反応がいずれのグループに属するかを判断する。一の反応は、複数のグループに分類されてもよい。そして第３リスト作成部１３２は、反応収集部１３０が収集した反応と、当該反応の対象であるアイディアと、当該アイディアの対象である物品名に対応する情報と、当該アイディアが属するグループに対応する情報と、を関連付けて、リストを作成する。これにより、アイディアを反応に基づいて複数のグループに分類したリストを生成することができる。そしてサーバー１０は、アイディアと反応とに関する情報を、このようなリストとして記憶部１４に記憶することができる。このリストを利用することで、受信した多数のアイディアを、例えば、アイディアに対する反応ごとに分類（グループ化）することができる。その結果、収集されたアイディアを、反応の内容に応じてリスティングすることがきる。あるいは、収集されたアイディアから、反応の内容に応じて、一部のグループに属するアイディアのみを抽出することがきる。したがって、利用部１４０は、第３リスト作成部１３２が作成したリストを利用して、例えば、反応に応じて、分類（グループ化）されたり、リスティングされたり、抽出されたアイディアをディスプレイ１５に表示する。その結果、製造メーカーの構成員は、反応の内容に応じて当該アイディアの利用の仕方を円滑かつ適切に変更することができる。例えばポジティブな反応が多いアイディアを、新たな物品の製造に積極的に利用することができる。例えば、第３リスト作成部１３２は、アイディアごとにポジティブな反応の数をカウントし、反応の数が一定の閾値を超えたら、新たな物品の製造に積極的に利用するように当該アイディアに対してフラグを設けるようにしてもよい。また、ネガティブな反応が多いアイディアは、既存物品の改良に積極的に利用することができる。例えば、アイディアごとにネガティブな反応の数をカウントし、反応の数が一定の閾値を超えたら、当該物品の問題の解消に積極的に利用するように当該アイディアに対してフラグを設けるようにしてもよい。 The third list creation unit 132 analyzes the information about the reaction and determines which group the reaction belongs to. One reaction may be classified into multiple groups. Then, the third list creation unit 132 corresponds to the reaction collected by the reaction collection unit 130, the idea that is the target of the reaction, information that corresponds to the article name that is the target of the idea, and the group to which the idea belongs. Create a list by associating information with information. This makes it possible to generate a list in which the ideas are classified into a plurality of groups based on the reaction. Then, the server 10 can store information regarding ideas and reactions in the storage unit 14 as such a list. By using this list, a large number of received ideas can be classified (grouped) for each reaction to the idea, for example. As a result, the collected ideas can be listed according to the content of the reaction. Alternatively, from the collected ideas, only the ideas belonging to some groups can be extracted according to the content of the reaction. Therefore, the usage unit 140 uses the list created by the third list creation unit 132 to display on the display 15 the ideas that are classified (grouped), listed, or extracted according to the reaction, for example. To do. As a result, the member of the manufacturer can smoothly and appropriately change the usage of the idea according to the content of the reaction. For example, an idea with many positive reactions can be positively used for manufacturing a new article. For example, the third list creation unit 132 counts the number of positive reactions for each idea, and when the number of reactions exceeds a certain threshold value, the third list creation unit 132 positively uses the idea for manufacturing a new article. You may make it provide a flag. In addition, ideas with many negative reactions can be positively used for improving existing products. For example, count the number of negative reactions for each idea, and if the number of reactions exceeds a certain threshold, set a flag for the idea so that it will be actively used to solve the problem of the article. Good.
　なお、物品に関するアイディアおよび反応は、多様で数が多いことがより多くの情報が得られるために好ましい。そこで、図４Ｃに示すように、受信ステップＳ１１０は、アイディアとともに、当該アイディアの発信元であるユーザについてのユーザ情報を受信し、当該アイディアと、当該アイディアの提供に伴う特典ポイントを反映したポイント情報を含むユーザ情報と、を関連づけたリストを作成する第２リスト作成サブステップＳ１１４を含んでもよい。また、図２に示すように、受信部１１０は、受信したアイディアとともに、当該アイディアの発信元であるユーザについてのユーザ情報を受信し、当該アイディアと、当該アイディアの提供に伴う特典ポイントを反映したポイント情報を含むユーザ情報と、を関連づけたリストを作成する第２リスト作成部１１４を備えていてもよい。 -It is preferable that the ideas and reactions regarding articles be diverse and large in number, as more information can be obtained. Therefore, as illustrated in FIG. 4C, in the receiving step S110, the user information about the user who is the sender of the idea is received together with the idea, and the point information reflecting the idea and the privilege points associated with the provision of the idea are received. A second list creation sub-step S114 for creating a list in which the user information including the user information is associated with the user information may be included. Further, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the receiving unit 110 receives the received idea and the user information about the user who is the sender of the idea, and reflects the idea and the privilege points associated with the provision of the idea. The second list creation unit 114 may be provided that creates a list in which user information including point information is associated with each other.
　サブステップＳ１１４において、第２リスト作成部１１４は、当該アイディアと、ユーザ情報とを関連づけたリストに対し、さらにアイディア提供に対する特典ポイントに関するポイント情報をユーザ情報に付与する。これにより、ポイントリストを作成することができる。図５は、第２リスト作成部１１４が作成するリストの一例である。製造メーカーは、このポイントリストを利用することにより、ポイント情報に応じて、ユーザに対してアイディアを提供したことに対する金銭的または非金銭的な特典を提供することができる。これにより、アイディアを提供したユーザに対して特典を還元することができる。また、これにより、より多くのユーザに対してアイディアを提供することへのモチベーションを高めることができ、より多くのアイディアを得ることができる。 In sub-step S114, the second list creation unit 114 further adds point information regarding privilege points for providing the idea to the user information with respect to the list in which the idea is associated with the user information. Thereby, the point list can be created. FIG. 5 is an example of a list created by the second list creation unit 114. By using this point list, the manufacturer can provide the user with a monetary or non-monetary privilege for providing the idea to the user according to the point information. Thereby, the privilege can be returned to the user who provided the idea. In addition, this can increase the motivation to provide the idea to more users, and obtain more ideas.
　ここに開示される技術では、前記のサブステップＳ１１４を含むことに加え、図４Ｃに示すように、利用ステップＳ１４０は、リスト更新サブステップＳ１４２を含んでもよい。また、図２に示すように、利用部１４０は、リスト更新部１４２を備えてもよい。リスト更新サブステップＳ１４２において、リスト更新部１４２は、前記ポイントリストにおいて、利用されたアイディアについてのポイント情報に、当該アイディアの利用に伴う特典ポイントを加算して、前記ポイントリストを更新する。 In the technology disclosed herein, in addition to including the sub-step S114 described above, the usage step S140 may include a list update sub-step S142 as shown in FIG. 4C. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the utilization unit 140 may include a list update unit 142. In the list updating sub-step S142, the list updating unit 142 updates the point list by adding the privilege points associated with the use of the idea to the point information about the used idea in the point list.
　リスト更新サブステップＳ１４２において、リスト更新部１４２は、ポイントリストに対し、さらに利用されるアイディアを提供したことに対する特典ポイントに関するポイント情報を付与して、ポイントリストを更新することができる。還元すると、アイディア提供者は、提供したアイディアが利用されることで、アイディア提供に伴うポイントの他に、アイディア利用に伴うポイントを取得することができる。このポイントは、アイディアが利用されるたびにリスト更新部１４２が更新する。製造メーカーは、このポイントリストを利用することにより、ユーザに対して有用なアイディアを提供したことに対する金銭的または非金銭的な特典を、ポイント情報に応じて提供することができる。これにより、有用なアイディアを提供したユーザに対して特典を還元することができる。また、これにより、より多くのユーザに対してより有用なアイディアを提供することへのモチベーションを高めることができ、有用なアイディアを効率よく得ることができる。 In the list updating sub-step S142, the list updating unit 142 can update the point list by adding point information regarding privilege points for providing the idea to be further used to the point list. When returned, the idea provider can obtain points associated with the use of the idea, in addition to the points associated with the idea provision, by using the provided idea. This point is updated by the list update unit 142 every time the idea is used. By utilizing this point list, the manufacturer can provide a financial or non-monetary privilege for providing a useful idea to the user according to the point information. Thereby, the privilege can be returned to the user who provided the useful idea. Further, this can increase the motivation to provide more useful ideas to more users, and the useful ideas can be efficiently obtained.
　さらに、反応収集ステップＳ１３０は、図４Ｄに示すように、反応とともに、反応の発信元である特定ユーザについての特定ユーザ情報を受信し、当該反応と、特定ユーザ情報と、当該反応の提供に伴う特典ポイントを反映したポイント情報と、を関連づけたリストを作成する第４リスト作成サブステップＳ１３４を含んでもよい。また、図２に示すように、反応収集部１３０は、反応とともに、反応の発信元である特定ユーザについての特定ユーザ情報を受信し、当該反応と、特定ユーザ情報と、当該反応の提供に伴う特典ポイントを反映したポイント情報と、を関連づけたリストを作成する第４リスト作成部１３４を備えていてもよい。 Further, in the reaction collecting step S130, as shown in FIG. 4D, along with the reaction, the specific user information about the specific user who is the source of the reaction is received, and the reaction, the specific user information, and the provision of the reaction are involved. It may include a fourth list creation sub-step S134 for creating a list in which the point information reflecting the privilege points is associated with each other. In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the reaction collection unit 130 receives, together with the reaction, specific user information regarding the specific user who is the source of the reaction, and accompanies the reaction, the specific user information, and the provision of the reaction. A fourth list creation unit 134 may be provided that creates a list in which point information that reflects privilege points is associated with each other.
　このサブステップＳ１３４において、第４リスト作成部１３４は、反応の発信元である特定ユーザに対し、反応を提供したことについての特典ポイントを付与する。この特典ポイントは、ポイント情報として、リスト（ポイントリスト）において反応と特定ユーザ情報とに紐付けられる。製造メーカーは、このポイントリストを利用することにより、ポイント情報に応じて、特定ユーザに対して有用な反応を提供したことに対する金銭的または非金銭的な特典を提供することができる。これにより、有用な反応を提供したユーザに対して特典を還元することができる。また、これにより、より多くの特定ユーザに対してより有用な反応を提供することへのモチベーションを高めることができる。その結果、アイディアの利用を効率よく実施することができる。 In this sub-step S134, the fourth list creation unit 134 gives a privilege point for providing the reaction to the specific user who is the source of the reaction. The privilege points are associated with the reaction and the specific user information in the list (point list) as point information. By using this point list, the manufacturer can provide a monetary or non-monetary privilege for providing a useful reaction to a specific user according to the point information. Thereby, the privilege can be returned to the user who provided the useful reaction. In addition, this can increase motivation to provide a more useful reaction to a larger number of specific users. As a result, the idea can be used efficiently.

The first user confirms the theme on the idea recruitment page, and in line with the theme, "Use a specific ink for a functional film having a specific function (for example, heat ray shielding and ultraviolet ray cutting function). Then, when the pattern is printed, the functional film is damaged, so it is better not to perform such printing.” The first idea is input to the input field and provided. The receiving unit 110, for example, adds code information indicating that the user registration of the manufacturer is performed to the user information of the first user based on the ID input by the first user. Then, the receiving unit 110 associates, for example, the idea provided by the first user, the ID input by the first user, and the code information indicating that the first user is registered as a user of the manufacturer. , In the storage unit 14.
　また、第２ユーザは、任意のユーザであり、アイディア利用サイトにアクセスしている。第２ユーザは、アイディア募集ページにおいて前記テーマを確認し、テーマに沿って、「表面に凹凸のある防水透湿性不織布に印刷したい」という旨の第２アイディアを入力欄に入力し、アイディア募集ページに提供する。受信部１１０は、第２アイディアを受信し、受信部１１０は、例えば、第２ユーザがＩＤを入力しなかったことに基づき、第２ユーザのユーザ情報に、当該ユーザ登録をしていることを確認していないことを示すコード情報を付与することができる。また、受信部１１０は、例えば、第２ユーザが提供したアイディアと、第２ユーザが当該製造メーカーのユーザ登録をしていることを確認していないことを示すコード情報とを関連付けて、記憶部１４に記憶する。 Also, the second user is an arbitrary user and is accessing the idea utilization site. The second user confirms the theme on the idea recruitment page, enters the second idea of "I want to print on the waterproof moisture-permeable nonwoven fabric having unevenness on the surface" in the input field in accordance with the theme, and the idea recruitment page To provide. The receiving unit 110 receives the second idea, and the receiving unit 110 confirms that the second user has registered the user in the user information of the second user based on, for example, that the second user did not input the ID. Code information indicating that the confirmation has not been made can be added. Further, the receiving unit 110 associates, for example, the idea provided by the second user with the code information indicating that the second user does not confirm that the second user has registered the user of the manufacturer, and the storage unit 110 Store in 14.
　発信部１２０は、対象物品であるインクジェットプリンタを所有する、または、利用する特定の物品ユーザのみがアクセスできるアイディア発信ページのインクジェットプリンタの応用例の欄において、受信部１１０が受信した前記第１アイディアおよび第２アイディアを掲示する。サーバー１０の反応収集部１３０は、例えば、アイディア利用サイトに反応収集ページを設ける等して、特定ユーザに対してアイディアに対する反応を募集する。 The transmitting unit 120 receives the first idea received by the receiving unit 110 in the application example column of the inkjet printer on the idea transmission page that can be accessed only by the user who owns or uses the target inkjet printer. And post a second idea. The reaction collection unit 130 of the server 10, for example, provides a reaction collection page on the idea utilization site, and solicits the reaction to the idea to the specific user.
　例えば、特定ユーザは、反応収集ページにアクセスし、前記第１アイディアを見ることで、前記第１アイディアを知得することができる。これにより、当該特定ユーザは、「ある特定の機能（例えば、熱線遮蔽および紫外線カット機能）が備えられた機能性フィルムに、ある特定のインクを使用して絵柄を印刷したとき、当該機能性フィルムにダメージが発生したために、このような印刷は実行しない方が良い」という情報を得ることができる。また、この特定ユーザのうちの第１反応ユーザは、前記第１アイディアを見て、そのアイディアに対して「いいね」のボタンを押すことで反応を提供することができる。第１反応ユーザは、例えば、当該製造メーカーのユーザではあるが、インクジェットプリンタは有していない他の物品ユーザによって構成されるコミュニティに属するユーザである。反応収集部１３０は、例えば、第１アイディアに対して、「いいね」に対応する反応コード情報と、第１反応ユーザのコミュニティ属性に対応するコード情報とを互いに関連付けて、記憶部１４に記憶することができる。 For example, the specific user can get the first idea by accessing the reaction collection page and seeing the first idea. As a result, the specific user can say that “when a pattern is printed using a specific ink on a functional film having a specific function (for example, a heat ray shielding function and an ultraviolet ray cutting function), the functional film is Since it is damaged, it is better not to perform such printing”. In addition, the first reaction user of the specific users can provide a reaction by looking at the first idea and pressing a “like” button for the idea. The first reaction user is, for example, a user of the manufacturer, but a user belonging to a community composed of other article users who do not have an inkjet printer. The reaction collection unit 130 stores, for example, the reaction code information corresponding to “like” and the code information corresponding to the community attribute of the first reaction user in the storage unit 14 in association with each other for the first idea. can do.
　また、前記第１アイディアを見た特定ユーザのうちの第２反応ユーザは、そのアイディアに対して「当該特定の機能が備えられた機能性フィルムに対しては、他の特定のインクを使用して絵柄を印刷すると、当該機能性フィルムにダメージを与えることなく印刷できる」という反応を提供することができる。第２反応ユーザは、例えば、当該製造メーカーの提供するインクジェットプリンタを有する物品ユーザによって構成されるコミュニティに属するユーザである。反応収集部１３０は、例えば、第１アイディアに対して、当該反応に対応する反応コード情報と、第２反応ユーザのコミュニティ属性に対応するコード情報とを互いに関連付けて、記憶部１４に記憶することができる。 In addition, the second reaction user of the specific users who saw the first idea said to the idea, "For the functional film having the specific function, another specific ink is used. By printing a pattern by using the pattern, it is possible to print without damaging the functional film”. The second reaction user is, for example, a user belonging to a community composed of article users having an inkjet printer provided by the manufacturer. The reaction collection unit 130 stores, for example, the reaction code information corresponding to the reaction and the code information corresponding to the community attribute of the second reaction user in the storage unit 14 in association with each other for the first idea. You can
　また例えば、特定ユーザは、反応収集ページにアクセスし、前記第２アイディアを見ることで、前記第２アイディアを知得することができる。これにより、当該特定ユーザは、「表面に凹凸のある防水透湿性不織布に印刷したい」という要求が存在するという情報を得ることができる。また、この特定ユーザのうちの第３反応ユーザは、前記第２アイディアを見て、そのアイディアの反応欄に対して「特定の転写紙を使用した転写プリントを行うとよい」という反応を入力することで、反応収集ページに反応を提供することができる。第３反応ユーザは、例えば、対象物品であるインクジェットプリンタの物品ユーザによって構成されるコミュニティに属するユーザである。反応収集部１３０は、例えば、第２アイディアに対する前記の反応についての情報と、第３反応ユーザのコミュニティ属性に対応するコード情報とを互いに関連付けて、記憶部１４に記憶することができる。 Further, for example, the specific user can obtain the second idea by accessing the reaction collection page and seeing the second idea. As a result, the specific user can obtain information that there is a request that "I want to print on a waterproof moisture-permeable nonwoven fabric having irregularities on the surface". In addition, the third reaction user of the specific users sees the second idea, and inputs the reaction “transfer printing using a specific transfer paper should be performed” to the reaction column of the idea. Thus, the reaction can be provided on the reaction collection page. The third reaction user is, for example, a user who belongs to a community composed of article users of the target inkjet printer. The reaction collection unit 130 can store, for example, the information about the reaction to the second idea and the code information corresponding to the community attribute of the third reaction user in the storage unit 14 in association with each other.
　利用部１４０は、例えばディスプレイ１５に、前記第１アイディアとこれに対する反応とを表示する。例えば、製造メーカーの従業者は、これらの情報から、前記第１アイディアについて、特定ユーザから複数の反応があったことを確認することができる。そして製造メーカーは、当該複数の反応に基づいて、第１アイディアが検討すべきアイディアかどうかを優先的に確認することができる。ここで、第１アイディアが検討すべきアイディアであると判断された場合、対象物品であるインクジェットプリンタに対して、当該アイディアに基づく製品化、改造、改良等に迅速に着手することができる。例えば、製造メーカーは、第２反応ユーザの前記反応に基づいて、前記機能性フィルムをメディアとする印刷では、前記他の特定のインクを推奨インクとすることを、仕様書に記載することができる。また、当該機能性フィルムと、特定インクおよび他の特定のインクとの相性を詳しく解析することで、機能性フィルムに適した新たなインクの開発を進めることができる。また、メディアとして使用することができる機能性フィルムの種類を増大することができる。このように特定ユーザからの反応を利用してアイディアを活用することで、例えば、ユーザとメーカーとのコ・クリエーションを効率良く実現することができ、本技術の意義が明瞭に発揮される点において好ましい。 The utilization unit 140 displays the first idea and the reaction to it on the display 15, for example. For example, the employee of the manufacturer can confirm from these information that there is a plurality of reactions from the specific user regarding the first idea. Then, the manufacturer can preferentially confirm whether or not the first idea is an idea to be considered based on the plurality of reactions. Here, when it is determined that the first idea is an idea to be considered, it is possible to quickly start commercialization, modification, improvement, etc. based on the idea for the inkjet printer which is the target article. For example, the manufacturer can describe in the specification that, based on the reaction of the second reaction user, in printing using the functional film as the medium, the other specific ink is the recommended ink. .. Further, by closely analyzing the compatibility of the functional film with the specific ink and the other specific ink, it is possible to proceed with the development of a new ink suitable for the functional film. In addition, the types of functional films that can be used as media can be increased. In this way, by utilizing the idea by utilizing the reaction from the specific user, for example, the co-creation between the user and the manufacturer can be efficiently realized, and the significance of the present technology is clearly demonstrated. preferable.
　利用部１４０は、例えばディスプレイ１５に、前記第２アイディアとこれに対する反応とを表示する。例えば、製造メーカーは、これらの情報から、前記第２アイディアについて、特定ユーザから反応があったことを確認することができる。そして製造メーカーは、当該反応に基づいて、第２アイディアが検討すべきアイディアかどうかを優先的に確認することができる。ここで、第２アイディアが検討すべきアイディアであると判断された場合、対象物品であるインクジェットプリンタに対して、当該アイディアに基づく製品化、改造、改良等に迅速に着手することができる。例えば、製造メーカーは、第３反応ユーザの前記反応に基づいて、インクジェットプリンタの使用例に、「表面に凹凸のある防水透湿性不織布をメディアとする場合は、直接印刷ではなくて、特定の転写紙を使用した転写プリントを行うとよい」と記載することができる。また、当該防水透湿性不織布と特定の転写紙との相性を詳しく解析することで、防水透湿性不織布に適した新たな転写紙やインクの開発を進めることができる。また、メディアとして使用することができる転写紙の種類や、当該転写紙を転写する素材の種類を増大することができる。このように特定ユーザからの反応を利用してアイディアを活用することで、例えば、ユーザとメーカーとのコ・クリエーションを効率良く実現することができ、本技術の意義が明瞭に発揮される点において好ましい。 The utilization unit 140 displays the second idea and the reaction to it on the display 15, for example. For example, the manufacturer can confirm from the information that the specific user has reacted to the second idea. Then, the manufacturer can preferentially confirm whether or not the second idea is an idea to be considered based on the reaction. Here, when it is determined that the second idea is an idea to be considered, it is possible to quickly start commercialization, modification, improvement, etc. based on the idea for the inkjet printer which is the target article. For example, the manufacturer, based on the reaction of the third reaction user, added to the usage example of the inkjet printer, “When the waterproof moisture-permeable nonwoven fabric having unevenness on the surface is used as the medium, it is not a direct printing but a specific transfer. It is preferable to perform transfer printing using paper." Further, by closely analyzing the compatibility between the waterproof moisture-permeable nonwoven fabric and a specific transfer paper, it is possible to proceed with the development of a new transfer paper or ink suitable for the waterproof moisture-permeable nonwoven fabric. Further, it is possible to increase the types of transfer paper that can be used as media and the types of materials that transfer the transfer paper. In this way, by utilizing the idea by utilizing the reaction from the specific user, for example, the co-creation between the user and the manufacturer can be efficiently realized, and the significance of the present technology is clearly demonstrated. preferable.
　なお、第３リスト作成部１３２は、アイディアを、当該アイディアに対して収集した反応の頻度に基づいて複数のグループに分類したリストを作成してもよい。例えば、反応数が、予め設定された閾値を超えたアイディアを特定のグループに分類するリストや、反応数の多い順にリストアップされたリストを作成してもよい。また、第３リスト作成部１３２は、このようなリストを作成するにあたり、例えば、特定ユーザの中でも、対象物品であるインクジェットプリンタの物品ユーザから得られた反応については、頻度に重み付けをしてカウントするようにしてもよい。例えば、物品ユーザから得られた反応については、「いいね」等の反応の数を２倍にしてリスト化してもよい。これにより、利用部１４０は、物品ユーザから得られた反応をより上位にリストしてディスプレイ１５に表示することができ、感度の良い反応を優先的に認識できるために好ましい。 Note that the third list creation unit 132 may create a list in which ideas are classified into a plurality of groups based on the frequency of reactions collected for the ideas. For example, a list that classifies ideas whose reaction number exceeds a preset threshold value into a specific group or a list that is listed in descending order of reaction number may be created. Further, when creating such a list, the third list creating unit 132 counts the reactions obtained from, for example, the target users of the target printers, among the specific users, by weighting the frequency. You may do so. For example, regarding the reactions obtained from the article users, the number of reactions such as “like” may be doubled and listed. Accordingly, the utilization unit 140 can list the reactions obtained from the article users in a higher order and display the reactions on the display 15, and can preferentially recognize the reactions with high sensitivity, which is preferable.
　また反応の解析は、例えば、前記のように、アイディアに対する反応を、ポジティブな反応と、ネガティブな反応とに分けるものであってよい。この解析は、例えば、ユーザの反応が択一式の回答の選択による場合は、予め用意される回答ごとにポジティブな反応であるかネガティブな反応であるかを設定しておくことで、反応を容易に解析することができる。また、ユーザの反応がフリーワードおよび文章等の言語情報の入力による場合は、サーバー１０は、予め反応に使用されることが予想される任意のワードについて、ポジティブなワードであるかネガティブなワードであるかを記憶したライブラリを備えておくとよい。この場合、第３リスト作成部１３２は、かかるライブラリを利用して、ユーザの反応が全体としてポジティブな反応であるかネガティブな反応であるかを判断するように構成されていてもよい。特に、対象物品に関連する技術用語や対象物品に特有の技術用語、およびそれらの類縁語を、ポジティブなワードやネガティブなワードとして記憶したライブラリを備えていることが好ましい。そして、判断に際しては、例えば、ユーザの反応に、ポジティブなワードとネガティブなワードのいずれがより多く含まれるかで単純に判断してもよい。またあるいは、ライブラリにおいて各々のワードのポジティブ度合いやネガティブ度合いを重み付けしておき、第３リスト作成部１３２は、このような重み付けを考慮して、ユーザの反応が全体としてポジティブな度合いが高いかネガティブな度合いが高いかでポジティブな反応であるかネガティブな反応であるかを判断してもよい。これにより、ポジティブな反応があるアイディアを新たな物品の製造に優先的に採用することができ、より多くのユーザのニーズを満足する物品を製造することができる。 The analysis of the reaction may be, for example, as described above, dividing the reaction to the idea into a positive reaction and a negative reaction. In this analysis, for example, when the user's reaction is to select an alternative set of answers, it is possible to facilitate the reaction by setting whether each response is a positive reaction or a negative reaction. Can be analyzed. In addition, when the user's reaction is due to the input of language information such as free words and sentences, the server 10 determines whether any word that is expected to be used for the reaction in advance is a positive word or a negative word. It is advisable to have a library that stores what is there. In this case, the third list creation unit 132 may be configured to use the library to determine whether the user reaction is a positive reaction or a negative reaction as a whole. In particular, it is preferable to provide a library in which technical terms related to the target article, technical terms specific to the target article, and their related terms are stored as positive words or negative words. Then, in the determination, for example, the user's reaction may be simply determined based on whether more positive words or negative words are included. Alternatively, the positive degree or the negative degree of each word is weighted in the library, and the third list creation unit 132 considers such weighting, and the user's reaction as a whole has a high positive degree or a negative degree. It may be judged whether the reaction is a positive reaction or a negative reaction depending on the degree of the difference. As a result, the idea having a positive reaction can be preferentially adopted in the production of a new article, and an article satisfying the needs of more users can be produced.
　さらに、サーバー１０は、例えば、インクジェットプリンタに関連する要素についての用語（例えば、インクジェット、吐出ヘッド、カートリッジ、インク等）や、印刷成果物の品質に関連する用語（例えば、高精細、鮮やか、解像度等）を、ポジティブワードまたはネガティブワード、重要関連ワードとして予め記憶しておくことができる。そしてこれらの重要関連ワードを含むアイディアや反応については、高い頻度で反応の数をカウントするよう構成されていてもよい。これにより、第３リスト作成部１３２は、重要な反応を含むアイディアを、例えばユーザに対する還元性の高いアイディアとして上位にリストアップすることができる。また、利用部１４０は、ユーザに対する還元性の高いアイディアとして上位にリストアップしてディスプレイ１５に表示することができる。 Further, the server 10 includes, for example, terms relating to elements related to an inkjet printer (eg, inkjet, ejection head, cartridge, ink, etc.) and terms related to quality of print products (eg, high definition, vividness, resolution Etc.) can be stored in advance as a positive word, a negative word, or an important related word. Then, for ideas and reactions including these important related words, the number of reactions may be counted with high frequency. As a result, the third list creation unit 132 can list the ideas including the important reactions as high-return ideas for the user, for example. In addition, the utilization unit 140 can list up as a high-returnable idea for the user and display it on the display 15.
　さらに第３リスト作成部１３２は、例えば、アイディアに対する反応を、反応の内容に応じて、物品ごと、製造上の利用分野ごと、あるいは、販売上の利用分野ごと等に分類して、リストを作成するようにしてもよい。利用部１４０は、アイディアに対する反応を、反応の内容に応じて、物品ごと、製造上の利用分野ごと、あるいは、販売上の利用分野ごと等に分類してディスプレイ１５に表示することができる。これにより、反応の内容に応じて、アイディアを適切に評価することができる。また、例えば、一の物品について提供されたアイディアを、他の物品に効率よく応用することができる点においても好ましい。 Further, the third list creation unit 132 creates a list by classifying reactions to ideas, for example, for each article, each field of use in manufacturing, or each field of usage in sales according to the content of the reaction. You may do so. The usage unit 140 can display the reaction on the idea on the display 15 by classifying the reaction to the idea according to the content of the reaction, for each article, for each field of use for manufacturing, or for each field of usage for sale. Thereby, the idea can be appropriately evaluated according to the content of the reaction. Further, for example, it is also preferable in that the idea provided for one article can be efficiently applied to another article.
