1. A matching support device formed communicably between a supplier terminal used by a supplier and a consumer terminal used by a consumer, the matching support device comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more memories,
wherein the one or more memories are configured to store:
resource information indicating a matching requirement by a supplier and a consumer; and
supply information about a service or an article to be supplied sent from the supplier terminal and/or demand information about a service or an article that is demanded sent from the consumer terminal,
the one or more processors are configured to:
perform a matching, upon receiving supply information or demand information, between the supply information or the demand information that is newly received and the demand information or the supply information that is already stored in the one or more memories, and
when the matching is established between a supply information and a demand information, send a matching result to:
a first supplier terminal of a first supplier and a first consumer terminal of a first consumer that sent the supply information and the demand information between which the matching is established; and
a supplier terminal, other than the first supplier terminal, of a supplier that provides a resource information including a same matching requirement as a matching requirement that is provided by the first supplier, for which the matching is not performed, and/or a consumer terminal, other than the first consumer terminal, of a consumer that provides a resource information including a same matching requirement as a matching requirement that is provided by the first consumer, for which the matching is not performed.
