[0012] An authentication system SYS according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram showing an example of the configuration of an authentication system SYS according to an embodiment of the present invention. The authentication system SYS includes a facility terminal device 100, an authentication device 200, and a local government server device 300. The facility terminal device 100, the authentication device 200, and the local government server device 300 are connected to each other so as to be able to communicate with each other.

[0013] The facility terminal device 100 is a terminal device used in a facility such as a corporation. The corporation is, for example, a corporation that operates a facility. The facility is a nursery school, kindergarten, nursing home, hospital, etc. The facility terminal device 100 accepts input of corporation information and qualified person information by users of the corporation. Qualified persons are those who hold qualifications such as childcare workers, nurses, caregivers, care workers, and nutritionists. The facility terminal device 100 also receives the results of applications for subsidies to local governments regarding the treatment of qualified persons, and presents them to the user.

[0014] Authentication device 200 is a server device that manages and stores corporate information and qualified person information of license holders input in facility terminal device 100. Authentication device 200 receives an authentication request for qualified person information from a local government based on an application from a corporation to the local government, for example, an application for a subsidy. Based on the authentication request, authentication device 200 authenticates the qualified person information by referring to the corporate information and qualified person information of license holders stored in the storage unit. Authentication device 200 notifies the local government of the authentication result.

[0015] The local government server device 300 is a server device managed by a local government. Based on a subsidy application from a corporation, the local government server device 300 transmits an authentication request for qualified person information to the authentication device 200. The local government server device 300 acquires an authentication result in response to the authentication request from the authentication device 200. In addition, the local government server device 300 notifies the authentication device 200 of the application result examined based on the authentication result.

[0016] In this way, the authentication system SYS of this embodiment is an authentication system that stores corporate information of corporations and qualified person information of qualified persons belonging to the corporation, obtains an authentication request for the qualified person information from a local government, authenticates the qualified person information based on the authentication request and the stored corporate information and qualified person information, and notifies the local government of the authentication result.

[0017] In this way, the authentication system SYS can improve the convenience of corporations and local governments involved in subsidy applications. Also, the authentication system SYS can authenticate the qualification information of qualified persons involved in subsidy applications. In addition, local governments can collect information on qualified individuals, improving convenience for local governments. Corporations can also improve convenience for corporations, as they can eliminate the need to certify information on qualified individuals when applying for subsidies.
