Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a disclosure unit. The disclosure unit discloses the content of a request indicated by a first degree to a person with an ability indicated by a second degree in the case where the first degree which indicates the content of the request is equal to or less than the second degree which indicates the ability of the person who possibly undertakes the request.

Claims (32)

1 . An information processing apparatus comprising a disclosure unit that discloses a content of a request indicated by a first degree to a person with an ability indicated by a second degree in a case where the first degree which indicates the content of the request is equal to or less than the second degree which indicates the ability of the person who possibly undertakes the request.

2 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising

a first setting unit that sets the first degree,

wherein the first setting unit uses some or all of a requesting entity, confidentiality, a difficulty degree, a requested quality, a technological core, an estimated profit, an estimated sales amount, and a development scale as parameters to be taken into consideration when setting the first degree.

3 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising

a second setting unit that sets the second degree,

wherein the second setting unit uses some or all of a credit degree, technological capability, a product quality, an achievement, an ordered sales amount, a user evaluation, a third-party organization evaluation, and a financial standing as parameters to be taken into consideration when setting the second degree.

4 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the first setting unit or the second setting unit assigns a weight to some or all of the parameters to be taken into consideration when setting the first degree or the second degree.

5 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

the disclosure unit limits disclosure subject entities in a case where some of the parameters to be taken into consideration when setting the first degree are higher than, or equal to or higher than, a threshold determined in advance.

6 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the first setting unit or the second setting unit sets the first degree or the second degree using a value determined in advance in a case where a value of the parameters is not set.

7 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the parameters to be taken into consideration when setting the second degree are manually input by a provider of the information processing apparatus, acquired from data accumulated by the provider of the information processing apparatus, and/or acquired from data disclosed by a third party.

8 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising

a comparison unit that compares the first degree and the second degree,

wherein the comparison unit uses the first degree and the second degree that are latest at a time of comparison when comparing the first degree and the second degree.

9 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 ,

wherein the comparison unit uses the second degree that is the latest at the time of comparison when comparing the first degree and the second degree in a case where the parameters to be taken into consideration when setting the second degree are acquired from data disclosed by a third party.

10 . An information processing apparatus comprising:

a correlation unit that correlates parameters to be taken into consideration when setting a first degree that indicates a content of a request with parameters to be taken into consideration when setting a second degree that indicates an ability of a person that possibly undertakes the request;

a comparison unit that compares the correlated parameters with each other;

an accumulation unit that accumulates comparison results; and

a disclosure unit that discloses the content of the request to the person in a case where an accumulated value of the accumulated results is more than, or equal to or more than, a threshold determined in advance.

11 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 10 ,

wherein the correlation unit correlates the parameters such that one parameter is correlated with N parameters, and

the comparison unit makes a comparison using a result of integrating the N parameters, among the parameters in which one parameter is correlated with N parameters, as distributed in proportions determined in advance.

12 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for information processing, the process comprising

disclosing a content of a request indicated by a first degree to a person with an ability indicated by a second degree in a case where the first degree which indicates the content of the request is equal to or less than the second degree which indicates the ability of the person who possibly undertakes the request.

13 . An information processing apparatus comprising

a disclosure means for disclosing a content of a request indicated by a first degree to a person with an ability indicated by a second degree in a case where the first degree which indicates the content of the request is equal to or less than the second degree which indicates the ability of the person who possibly undertakes the request.
