[0013] (How one aspect of the present invention was invented)

[0014] Prior art 1 is a technology that, when a recruiter views information on a job seeker on a dedicated site, displays the job seeker's anonymous history of application interviews, etc., compiled on the dedicated site, as well as notices from companies hiring to the job seeker, allowing the companies hiring to view the displays and evaluate the job seeker's information for themselves. Prior art 2 is a technology that allows students and employees to send and receive messages anonymously and with peace of mind, by having schools guarantee the status of students who are job seekers and companies hiring guarantee the status of employees.

[0015] However, although both Prior Art 1 and Prior Art 2 enable job seekers to search for jobs anonymously, they are premised on all job seeker users searching for jobs anonymously. In other words, when a job seeker uses a dedicated site to receive job offers and job-seeking services, the prior art requires that certain requirements for allowing anonymous activities be met when registering as a user to use the service.

[0016] In such cases, the number of job seeker users who can start using the service is limited. Therefore, there is a problem that job seekers who wish to search for jobs anonymously but do not meet the specified requirements are excluded from the beginning of their use of the service. In addition, there are various reasons and contents for job seekers who wish to conceal their original information by using alternative information when searching for a job, and they do not necessarily wish to conceal their real names.

[0017] Therefore, the inventors of the present invention have devised an information processing device and information processing method that, when providing a job matching service to job seeker users and employer users, allows employer users to view alternative information in place of personal information only from job seeker users who have been given a credit rating among a plurality of job seeker users, and have invented one aspect of the present invention.

[0018] In this disclosure, the terms are defined as follows.

[0019] (This Service) The information processing service provided by the information processing server in the present disclosure is referred to as the present service. The basic service content of the present service may be, for example, a job matching service for job seeker users and employer users, in which only job seeker users who have been credit-evaluated among multiple job seeker users can view alternative information in place of personal information for the employer users. The matching target in the job matching service may be employment or employment for any organization, for example, short-term employment or short-term employment for a period of several years, or a contract such as a commissioned work. The matching target in the job matching service may be a job in which a job seeker provides a tangible or intangible result to an employer and the employer provides a reward to the job seeker, and the specific content does not limit the scope of the present disclosure. Note that the service in the present disclosure may be a service that allows another user to view alternative information in place of personal information based on the user's credit information, and the specific content of the service is not limited.

[0020] (user) A user of the Service is called a User. Specifically, a User may be a person who receives the Service on a website related to the Service or on application software related to the Service. A User may be, for example, a recruiter, a job seeker, or an agent of a recruitment agency that introduces a job seeker to a recruiter, or an agent of a recruitment agency that introduces a job seeker to a recruiter. The distinction between a job seeker and a recruiter may be registered as user information when using the Service, or may be substantially distinguished in the actual activities. A User may be a natural person or a legal entity. A recruiter may be, for example, a legal entity such as a company or an individual business owner. If a recruiter is not a natural person but a legal entity, a specific activity related to the recruiter, such as the operation of a terminal device and the provision of information by the recruiter, may be read as a specific activity related to an employee or person in charge of the recruiter. If an agent is not a natural person but a legal entity, a specific activity related to the agent, such as the operation of a terminal device and the provision of information by the agent, may be read as an activity related to an employee or person in charge of the agent. In the present disclosure, when a user uses the job matching service as a job seeker, the user may be referred to as a job seeker user, and when a user uses the job matching service as an employer, the user may be referred to as an employer user. That is, any user may use the service as an employer user, and may also use the service as a job seeker user. When using the service as an agent, the user may be referred to as an agent user. In the present disclosure, when an agent user uses the service on behalf of a job seeker, the agent user may be regarded as the same as a job seeker user and may be referred to as a job seeker user. In the present disclosure, when an agent user uses the service on behalf of a employer, the agent user may be regarded as the same as a job seeker user and may be referred to as a employer user.

[0021] (Administrator) The administrator may be a person who manages or operates the information processing server used in the Service. Specifically, the administrator may be, for example, a natural person or a legal entity that manages and operates the information processing server in order to provide the Service to users. The administrator may also be composed of one or more persons. The administrator may be referred to as a control administrator.

[0022] (personal information) The personal information may be information that identifies an individual, information that identifies an individual's thoughts, and information that identifies an individual's behavior. Specifically, for example, the personal information may be a name, a title, a place of employment, a date of birth, an age, an address, a family structure, biometric information, and an image, as well as skill information, information about thoughts, and information about behavior. The address may be, for example, an email address, an ID of a specific application such as a social network service or a chat, a telephone number, or information about a character string generated using a secret key. The biometric information may be, for example, information about a face image, information about an iris, information about an auricle, information about a voiceprint, information about a palm shape, or information about a fingerprint. The image may be a still image or a video. In addition, the personal information may be, for example, a score on a specific language test, skills such as a qualification held and a work history, items related to thoughts such as attitude toward changing jobs and desired working style, purchased goods, purchased services, and information about behavior such as a store visited.

[0023] (Identification information) The user's identification information is ID information for identifying each user who uses the service, and may be information given to each user by an administrator. The identification information may be unique information that can be set by the user at a predetermined timing. The identification information may be unique information for each user, including at least one piece of personal information set by the user. In this case, the at least one piece of information may be, for example, address information. The identification information may be unique information that can uniquely identify each user, and the specific content of the user's identification information does not limit the scope of the present disclosure. The timing at which the identification information is issued to the user may be arbitrarily set by the administrator. Note that, as will be described later in a modified example of the present disclosure, it is sufficient to uniquely identify the user based on the identification information, and it is not necessary to uniquely identify the identification information based on the user. In other words, one user may be associated with one or more pieces of identification information.

[0024] The definitions of terms used in the present disclosure have been described above. When a special meaning is given to a defined term, it may be further defined in the description of the embodiments.

[0049] The control unit 102 may be a control circuit that controls each unit by an electric signal. Specifically, the control unit 102 may be configured by an integrated circuit such as an FPGA. The control unit 102 may also be realized by a CPU or an MPU. Details of the functions of the control unit 102 will be described later.

[0050] Above, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, configuration examples of the information processing system 1, the information processing server 10, and the information processing device 100 according to the present embodiment have been described.

[0051] The information processing system 1 of this embodiment, when providing a job matching service to job seeker users and employer users through the above configuration example, contributes to allowing employer users to view alternative information in place of personal information only for job seeker users who have been given a credit rating among multiple job seeker users.

[0052] Specifically, for example, a first job seeker user may operate the terminal device 200a to transmit information on work experience, personal information, employment history information, etc., as credit information to the information processing server 10, and when the information processing server 10 receives the credit information, the identification information of the first job seeker user may be associated with the credit information and stored in the storage device 103. Furthermore, an arbitrary recruiter user may operate the terminal device 200b to transmit job evaluation information of the first job seeker user to the information processing server 10, and the information processing server 10 may store the job evaluation information in the storage device 103 together with the personal information, etc., of the first job seeker user.

[0053] In such a case, the information processing server 10 may determine whether or not the credit information of the first job seeker user stored in the storage device 103 satisfies a predetermined condition, and when the credit information satisfies the predetermined condition, may cause the alternative information to be displayed instead of the first personal information in the profile information of the first job seeker user that an arbitrary recruiter user views for a job. That is, the information processing server 10 may inquire whether or not the alternative information should be displayed instead of the first personal information based on the identification information of the first job seeker user, and may control whether or not to display the alternative information in the profile information based on the answer from the first job seeker user.

[0054] The determination of whether or not to display the alternative information in place of the first personal information of the first job seeker user may be made based on, for example, a response from a predetermined recruiter user. Specifically, when the information processing server 10 receives a response from a recruiter user whose history of requesting work from the first job seeker user is stored in the storage device 300, regarding whether or not to permit the display of the alternative information of the first job seeker user, the information processing server 10 may control whether or not to permit the display of the alternative information in the profile information based on the response. The recruiters who are allowed to send a response regarding whether or not to permit the display of the alternative information of the first job seeker user are not limited to the above examples, and may be arbitrarily set by the administrator.

[0055] In this way, the present service is intended to enable a job-seeker user's personal information to be displayed in place of alternative information based on the job-seeker user's credit information in, for example, a job matching service. The present service may be provided, for example, starting from a user's access to a website related to the present service. The present service may also be provided, for example, starting from application software related to the present service being launched on the display terminal 200.

[0056] The scope of the present disclosure is not limited to the manner in which the service is provided, as long as the service is capable of displaying the job-seeker user's personal information in place of alternative information based on the job-seeker user's credit information in a job matching service using the information processing server 10. For example, the information processing server 10 may transmit application software that operates standalone without using a Web browser to the terminal device 200, and the service may be provided using the downloaded application software.

[0057] Furthermore, for example, the service may be realized when application software related to the service is installed in a terminal device 200 such as a smartphone and the installed application software is started. In such a case, the application software related to the service may be downloaded to the terminal device 200 from a predetermined application distribution system (not shown) via the communication network 300. The predetermined application distribution system may be, for example, a system that provides one or more application software to the terminal device 200. The application software may mean an information processing program.

[0058] The information processing method, the information processing device 100, the information processing program, and the service provided by the recording medium on which the information processing program is recorded according to the present disclosure have been outlined above.

[0059] FIG. 4 is a sequence diagram showing an example of a procedure for transmitting and receiving information and processing information between the information processing server 10 and the multiple terminal devices 200 according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0060] Below, with reference to Figure 4 and other figures, we will explain the transmission and reception of information between the information processing server 10 and the first terminal device 200a and the second terminal device 200b, as well as the information processing performed in each part of the information processing server 10, the first terminal device 200a, and the second terminal device 200b.

[0061] In the following explanation, the display of specific information on the display medium 201 by various programs transmitted from the information processing server 10 to the terminal device 200 and then stored in the memory 204 is the same as the information processing server 10 directly or indirectly controlling the display of the specific information.

[0062] That is, in the embodiment of the present invention, the control by various programs provided from the information processing server 10 to the terminal device 200 and the control by the information processing server 10 may be referred to as the control by the information processing server 10, etc. Even if it is simply referred to as the control by the information processing server 10, it may be interpreted to have the same meaning as the control by the information processing server 10, etc.

[0063] In FIG. 4, the information processing server 10 may receive credit information indicating the credit of a job seeker user who uses the job matching service as a job seeker from the communication unit 203 of the first terminal device 200a (Step S401).

[0064] The credit information indicating the job seeker user's credit may be credit information indicating the job seeker user's credit regarding work. The credit information indicating the job seeker user's credit regarding work may be, for example, at least one of one or more pieces of personal information of the job seeker user, evaluation information from a predetermined user in the job matching service of the job seeker user, performance information of the job seeker user's use of the job matching service, and performance information of the job seeker user in the job matching service, and evaluation information and performance information of the job seeker received from an external system.

[0065] The personal information may be, for example, age information for estimating years of work experience, information on qualifications held and certificates that correlate with work execution skills, work history and information proving the work history, name for identifying the person who carried out the work, address information used to inquire about the results of the work, etc. As will be described later, some of the personal information may not be credit information. For example, among the personal information, face image information, ideological information, etc. may not be credit information. The distinction between information that is credit information and information that is not credit information may be arbitrarily set by the administrator of this service.

[0066] The evaluation information from a predetermined user in the job matching service for the job seeker user may be, for example, evaluation information from a predetermined user, such as an employer user to whom the job seeker user has already provided a deliverable, an employer user with whom the job seeker user is currently conducting business transactions, or an agent user who is involved with the job seeker user when using the service. The evaluation information may be content set by the predetermined user using the input unit 202 of the terminal device 200 on a predetermined page of a website or application related to the service. For example, the evaluation information may be text information by the predetermined user, information in which preset evaluation items are selected, or specific score information. The specific content of the evaluation information may be set arbitrarily by the administrator, and the specific content does not limit the scope of the present disclosure.

[0067] In the following explanation, the website or application software related to the Service may be referred to as the website, etc. related to the Service. Even if it is simply referred to as the website, etc. related to the Service, it may be read as the website, etc. related to the Service.

[0068] The performance information of a job seeker user's use of the job matching service may be, for example, information on the number of times the job seeker user has used the service, or information on the number of times the job seeker user has used the service within a predetermined period arbitrarily set by the administrator. The number of times information may be information on the number of times the job seeker user has used the service to reach job matching, or information on the number of times a predetermined stage has been reached among multiple stages leading to job matching, or may simply be information on the number of times the service has been used regardless of whether job matching has been reached. The number of times information may be stored in storage device 103 as the counted number of times in association with identification information used by the job seeker user to use the service.

[0069] The job seeker user's performance information in the job matching service may be, for example, information on the deliverables provided to the employer, who is the matched partner, when the job seeker user uses the service to reach a job match. The deliverables information may be, for example, personnel evaluation during the employment period when the job seeker user is employed by the employer user's organization or when the job seeker user is employed short-term for a period of several years. Furthermore, the deliverables information may be, for example, evaluation information on the deliverables in the commissioned work, objective data information on the deliverables, etc., when the job seeker user enters into a contract with the employer user for commissioned work or the like. The objective data information on the deliverables may be, for example, the quantity and quality of a product that is a tangible fruit, the amount of information in a text that is a tangible fruit, etc.

[0070] The evaluation information of the job seeker received from an external system may be, for example, evaluation information on the job seeker in an external system such as a job matching service different from this service, a predetermined review site, etc. The evaluation information from the external system may be text information or specific score information, similar to the evaluation information on the website related to this service described above.

[0071] The performance information of the job seeker received from an external system may be, for example, performance information held by the job seeker in an external system such as a website that lists information on papers or books written, a job matching service different from this service, etc. The performance information from the external system may be text information or specific score information, similar to the evaluation information or performance information on the website etc. related to this service described above.

[0072] 4, the operator of the terminal device 200 that transmits the credit information to the information processing server 10 may be a recruiter user, a job seeker user himself / herself, or an agent user. In the case where the information processing server 10 receives credit information from an external system, the terminal device 200 may be a server device included in the external system.

[0073] The credit information may be transmitted in association with the identification information of the operator of the terminal device 200. The identification information may be information set for each user when the user registers user information when starting to use the service. The identification information may be information set by the information processing server 10 based on a predetermined rule, or may be information set by each user.

[0074] Fig. 5 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the procedure for transmitting and receiving information between the information processing server and the first terminal device and for processing information. For example, if the first terminal device 200a is a device operated by a recruiter user who has received work results from a job seeker user and evaluated the results, as shown in Fig. 5, the information processing server 10 may request the recruiter user to set an evaluation of the job of the job seeker user based on the identification information of the recruiter user pre-stored in the storage device 103 (step S501).

[0075] The request to set a rating for a job may be, for example, a signal that the information processing server 10 sends an inquiry to the recruiter user using predetermined address information stored in the storage device 103 in association with the recruiter user's identification information. Alternatively, the request to set a rating for a job may be, for example, a signal that is notified on the display medium 201 when the recruiter user launches a website or the like related to the Service.

[0076] When the job is provided to the employer user, information on the job of the job seeker user to be evaluated may be stored in a storage device in association with at least the identification information of the employer user and the identification information of the job seeker user. The information processing server 10 may refer to the identification information of the employer user and the identification information of the job seeker user in a request to set an evaluation for the job.

[0077] The employer user who has received the request to set an evaluation for the job may set evaluation information for the job seeker user by performing a predetermined operation using the input unit 202 of the terminal device 200 (step S502). The set evaluation information may be associated with the identification information of the employer user who set the evaluation information and the identification information of the evaluated job seeker user, and transmitted from the communication unit 203 of the terminal device 200 to the information processing server 10 (step S503).

[0078] 5, the information processing server 10 is described as making a setting request to the recruiter user, but this is not the only possibility. For example, the recruiter user may proactively set the evaluation information by performing a predetermined operation using the input unit 202 on a predetermined page of a website or the like related to the service.

[0079] Fig. 6 is a sequence diagram showing another example of the procedure for transmitting and receiving information between the information processing server and the first terminal device and for processing information. For example, if the first terminal device 200a is a device operated by a job seeker user to transmit one or more pieces of personal information as credit information to the information processing server 10, as shown in Fig. 6, the job seeker user may operate the first terminal device 200a to request the information processing server 10 to set personal information (step S601).

[0080] The request for setting personal information may be, for example, a job seeker user's registration to use the service, or a request to set additional personal information while using the service. The request for setting personal information may be, for example, an operation of selecting a button related to user registration or personal information setting on a predetermined page of a website or the like related to the service. In such a case, a control signal indicating a request for setting personal information may be transmitted from the communication unit 203 to the information processing server 10.

[0081] Next, in response to the request received from the first terminal device 200a, the information processing server 10 may display on the display medium 201 of any terminal device 200a operated by the job seeker user a setting page that enables the job seeker user to set personal information for at least one of the multiple entry items stored in the storage device 103. Specifically, the information processing server 10 may transmit information stored in the storage device 103 for displaying the setting page on the display medium 201 to the first terminal device 200a (step S602).

[0082] The setting page may be a page that allows the content of personal information to be set for each of a plurality of entry items. In the present disclosure, the content set for the entry items may be simply referred to as content, and the set content may be referred to as setting content.

[0083] Note that storage device 103 may store one or more specific items to be described other than the plurality of items to be described. The specific items to be described may be, for example, items whose contents cannot be set on the setting page and that are included in the profile information described below. The contents of the specific items to be described may be, for example, information acquired from the job seeker user at a predetermined timing or information set by the job seeker user.

[0084] In the present disclosure, "configurable" may mean that the user can arbitrarily decide whether or not to set the content for each entry item. The specific specifications of information or data for displaying the setting page on the display medium 201 using, for example, a Web browser can be set by known techniques, and therefore detailed explanations are omitted here.

[0085] In this disclosure, a page may mean a range that can be displayed by scrolling on a website or the like related to the service. Even when simply referred to as a page, the page may be one or multiple pages. Transition between multiple pages may be performed based on a predetermined operation.

[0086] Next, the first terminal device 200a may display a setting page on the display medium 201 based on the information received from the information processing server 10 (step S603). That is, the above-mentioned multiple entry items may be items whose contents can be set on the setting page.

[0087] Fig. 7 is a diagram showing an example of an image showing a setting page on which personal information can be set. As shown in Fig. 7, the first terminal device 200a may display a setting page 700a on the display medium 201 based on information received from the information processing server 10, for example. The setting page 700a may include, for example, a plurality of entry items 70, an area 71 for setting contents for each entry item, and a setting completion button 73 for completing the setting of contents for the area 71.

[0088] In FIG. 7, the entry items 70 are functionally described as entry item (1), but when the service is actually provided, the entry items may be described as, for example, "name," "age," "address," "career history," "qualifications held," and the like. In addition, in FIG. 7, four entry items 70 are described as being included, but this is not the only possible embodiment. The number of entry items included in the setting page 700a may be set arbitrarily by the administrator, and does not limit the scope of the present disclosure. Furthermore, the display mode of the area 71 in FIG. 7 is an example, and the specific mode does not limit the scope of the present disclosure. The information processing in which the control unit 205 displays the setting page 700a on the display medium 201 is well known, and therefore a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0089] In the above description, the information processing server 10 displays the setting page 700a on the display medium 201 of the first terminal device 200a in response to receiving a request for personal information setting from the first terminal device 200a, but this is not limiting. For example, the setting page 700a may be displayed on the display medium 201 of the first terminal device 200a in response to application software related to the present service installed in the first terminal device 200a being started by a predetermined operation using the input unit 202. In this case, information on a plurality of entry items may be stored in the memory 204. The description also applies to profile information described later.

[0090] The following explanation may be applicable to both the case where the setting page 700a is displayed on the display medium 201 based on information transmitted from the information processing server 10, and the case where the setting page 700a is displayed on the display medium 201 by launching application software installed on the first terminal device 200a.

[0091] Next, when it is detected that personal information has been set for one or more of the multiple entry items on the setting page 700a, the setting content 72 set by the user may be displayed on the setting page 700a (step S604).

[0092] For example, when a job seeker user uses input section 202 to set content for entry item (1) 70a, entry item (2) 70b, and entry item (3) 70c, personal information content 72 may be displayed in each of areas 71a, 71b, and 71c, as shown in FIG. 7.

[0093] Area 71 may be, for example, an area where the user can write content arbitrarily using input unit 202. Area 71 may be, for example, an area where the user can select setting content from a plurality of predetermined texts using a pull-down menu or check boxes, etc., using input unit 202. In other words, setting content for a description item may include writing and selecting setting content.

[0094] The method of setting the contents for each area 71 may be the same or different. For example, the area 71a may be an area where the contents can be written arbitrarily, and the area 71b may be an area where the setting contents can be selected by a pull-down menu or the like. When the area 71 is an area where the setting contents can be selected by a pull-down menu, when one or more options are set from a plurality of options, the user may arbitrarily write the options, for example, text information, using the input unit 202, so that the contents of the options can be edited. In addition, the content can be arbitrarily written in the area 71, and image information such as a face image can be posted. In FIG. 7, the area 71 is shown by a solid line for convenience of explanation, but the display mode of the area 71 is arbitrary, and the specific content does not limit the scope of the present disclosure.

[0095] In the present disclosure, it is sufficient that the contents of personal information are set for one or more entry items. One or more entry items may include both the meaning of at least one entry item and the meaning of one or more predetermined number of entry items. In other words, in the setting page 700a, when contents are set for one or more entry items, it may include the case where contents are set for at least one arbitrary number of the multiple entry items and the case where contents are set for one or more predetermined number of the multiple entry items.

[0096] In the above explanation, the setting page 700 is described as a page 700a that, when displayed on the display medium 201, includes a plurality of entry items 70 and areas 71, etc., and allows personal information to be set for each of the plurality of entry items, but this is not limited to the above.

[0097] For example, when the setting page 700 is displayed on the display medium 201, it may be a page for requesting the information processing server 10 to acquire the contents of the personal information corresponding to each entry item by linking with an external system that holds the personal information of the job seeker user. For convenience of explanation, the setting page 700 in such a case will be referred to as setting page 700b (not shown) hereinafter. In the present disclosure, the setting page 700 may include setting page 700a and setting page 700b.

[0098] Specifically, for example, when the input unit 202 selects or taps a predetermined button on the setting page 700b, or when a predetermined voice is input, the information processing server 10 may receive a set of personal information contents corresponding to each entry item from an external system. The contents displayed on the predetermined button and the contents of the voice input may be, for example, a "request to obtain personal information" or simply a "request to provide a service."

[0099] The setting page 700b may not include a plurality of entry items 70 and areas 71. The link with the external system may be performed, for example, based on the identification information of the user, and the personal information of the user may be acquired by mutual authentication of the identification information between the external system and the user. The link with the external system may be, for example, API (Application Programming Interface) link. The personal information of the user may be acquired from the external system based on the ID information of the user used in the external system and authentication information such as a password. The external system may be, for example, a predetermined application software, or an application for managing the personal information of the user. Note that information may be exchanged directly between the information processing server 10 and the external system, or information may be exchanged indirectly through the intervention of one or more systems.

[0100] The personal information corresponding to each entry item acquired from the external system may be viewable on the setting page 700b or a predetermined confirmation page. The user may be able to modify each personal content acquired through external linkage, which is displayed on the display medium 201, by using the input unit 202.

[0101] That is, the information processing server 10 may display on the display medium 201 a setting page 700 that enables personal information to be set for at least one of the multiple entry items, and may receive the contents of the personal information for each of one or more of the multiple entry items via the communication network 300 in response to a specified operation on the setting page 700.

[0102] For example, when the contents held in the external system correspond to only some or all of the multiple entry items stored in the storage device 103, the information processing server 10 may receive the contents of the personal information for each of the one or more entry items that are the partial or complete. In this case, the predetermined operation on the setting page 700 may be an operation of setting personal information for the entry items using the input unit 202 provided in the terminal device 200. For example, the predetermined operation may be an operation of setting the contents of the personal information for each entry item, or an operation of requesting to obtain the contents of the personal information from the external system.

[0103] Next, the first terminal device 200a may transmit one or more pieces of personal information set on the setting page 700 to the information processing server 10 using the communication unit 203 (step S605). Specifically, for example, when the contents of the description items are set in the areas 71 on the setting page 700 and it is detected that the setting completion button 73 is selected or tapped using the input unit 202, the contents of the personal information set in each area 71 may be confirmed, and information indicating the confirmed contents of the personal information may be transmitted to the information processing server 10.

[0104] In such a case, the one or more pieces of personal information that have been set may be associated with the identification information of the job seeker user. Specifically, for example, before the setting page 700 is displayed on the display medium 201 or at the timing when the setting page 700 is displayed on the display medium 201, the job seeker user's identification information may be input on a predetermined page of a website or the like related to the service, thereby executing user identification, and the contents set on the setting page 700 may be associated with the identification information.

[0105] Alternatively, at the time when the personal information set on the setting page 700 is transmitted to the information processing server 10, user identification may be performed by inputting identification information on a predetermined page of a website or the like related to the service, and the personal information set on the setting page 700 may be associated with the identification information of the job seeker user. Furthermore, the set one or more pieces of personal information may be associated with the identification information of the job seeker user when the information processing server 10 stores the credit information in the storage device 103, as described below.

[0106] 7 is merely an example, and the name of the button may be, for example, "Send," or may be left blank. The display mode of the setting completion button 73 does not limit the scope of the present disclosure.

[0107] 7, the selection of the setting completion button 73 is described as a trigger for transmitting the contents set for each entry item to the information processing server 10, but this is not limited to this. For example, when personal information is set in the area 71 and a predetermined condition is satisfied, the contents of the personal information for each entry item may be transmitted to the information processing server 10.

[0108] The predetermined condition may be, for example, that a predetermined time has elapsed after personal information for each entry item has been set without editing the setting contents. The predetermined condition may also be that a predetermined voice input such as "send" or "settings complete" is made. In such a case, the setting completion button 73 may not be displayed. The trigger for transmitting the contents of the personal information for each entry item from the first terminal device 200a to the information processing server 10 can be set arbitrarily and does not limit the scope of the present disclosure.

[0109] Returning to FIG. 4, the information processing server 10 may store the credit information in the storage device 103 in association with the job seeker user's identification information (step S402).

[0110] For example, if the received credit information is evaluation information from a predetermined user, performance information used by a job seeker user, achievement information of a job seeker user, or evaluation information received from an external system, the information processing server 10 may associate the credit information with the identification information of the job seeker user received in association with the credit information, and store the associated information in the storage device 103. Also, for example, if the received credit information is personal information of a job seeker user, the information processing server 10 may associate the contents of one or more pieces of personal information as the credit information with the identification information of the job seeker user, and store the associated information in the storage device 103.

[0111] Fig. 8 is a diagram showing an example of first table information in which user identification information is associated with settings set for each entry item. As shown in Fig. 8, the information processing server 10 may, for example, manage in the first table information 800 one or more pieces of personal information set for each of one or more entry items in association with the identification information of a job seeker user. The specific specifications for managing one or more pieces of personal information of each user in association with the identification information in the storage device 103 do not limit the scope of the present disclosure.

[0112] As described above, only some of the multiple pieces of personal information may be stored as credit information in the storage device 103. That is, when the information processing server 10 receives the set personal information via the communication network 300 in response to a predetermined operation on the setting page 700, the information processing server 10 may store the set personal information included in the first category as credit information in the storage device 103. For example, the first category is a category including information related to work credit, and may include name, age, address information, etc. On the other hand, for example, information such as birth month may not be included in the first category as it is not information related to work credit.

[0113] Returning to FIG. 4, the information processing server 10 may determine whether or not the first credit information stored in the storage device 103 in association with the first identification information of a first job seeker user among the multiple job seeker users satisfies the first credit condition (step S403).

[0114] For example, when the information processing server 10 receives credit information related to a job seeker user, if credit information associated with the identification information of the job seeker user is not stored in the storage device 103, the information processing server 10 may newly store the credit information in the storage device 103 in association with the identification information of the job seeker user. On the other hand, when the information processing server 10 receives credit information related to a job seeker user, if credit information associated with the identification information of the job seeker user is already stored in the storage device 103, the information processing server 10 may store and accumulate the received credit information in the storage device 103 together with the credit information already stored.

[0115] Specifically, when the information processing server 10 receives personal information as credit information from the terminal device 200 operated by the first job seeker user, the information processing server 10 may associate the received personal information with the first identification information and store it in the storage device 103. Alternatively, when the information processing server 10 receives usage history information indicating that the service has been used as credit information from the terminal device 200 operated by the first job seeker user, the information processing server 10 may associate the received history information with the first identification information and store it in the storage device 103. Alternatively, when the information processing server 10 receives evaluation information, achievement information, and external evaluation information regarding the first job seeker user from any terminal device 200, the information processing server 10 may associate the evaluation information with the first identification information and store it in the storage device 103 as credit information.

[0116] Then, for example, when the information processing server 10 stores the received credit information associated with the first identification information of the first job seeker user in the memory device 103, it may determine whether the stored first credit information satisfies a specified first credit condition.

[0117] In such a case, the information processing server 10 may convert the credit information into, for example, a score value, and store the score value in the storage device 103 in association with the first identification information. The received credit information and the converted score value may be stored in the storage device 103, or only the score value converted from the received credit information may be stored in the storage device 103. Then, it may be determined whether or not the score value associated with the first identification information exceeds a predetermined reference value as a first credit condition.

[0118] When a score value converted from credit information including at least one of personal information, evaluation information, performance information, outcome information, and external evaluation information exceeds a predetermined reference value as a first credit condition, the job seeker user associated with the identification information associated with the credit information is presumed to be trustworthy to a certain degree by the employer user who uses the service. In other words, since the job seeker user whose credit information associated with the identification information satisfies the first credit condition has a certain degree of guaranteed skill to complete a job by the information processing system, the employer user can trust the job seeker user's work skills and request a job from the job seeker user even if part of the personal information is concealed by being replaced with other information in job matching, as described below.

[0119] The score value may be a value that can be expressed, for example, as a number. Each of the personal information, evaluation information, track record information, achievement information, and external evaluation information may be converted into a score value as credit information based on a criterion set by an administrator or the like.

[0120] For example, the personal information may be assigned a score value according to the number of items corresponding to the setting page 700. In addition, among the personal information, for example, personal information that can be expressed by specific numerical information such as age information, the numerical information may be directly treated as the score value. As will be described later, the personal information may be assigned a score value according to the amount of information or the content of the information.

[0121] For example, when the evaluation information is text information set by a predetermined user, the text information may be converted into a score value by using a natural language processing program. When the evaluation information is selection information of evaluation items set in advance, the evaluation information may be converted into a score value based on table information that associates evaluation items set by an administrator with score values, for example. The evaluation information may also be evaluations from a predetermined user or any user. Specifically, for example, numerical information on the number of "likes" for the job seeker user's achievements, profile, etc. may be treated as the evaluation information. In such a case, the numerical information may be converted into a score value based on a predetermined rule set by the administrator, or the numerical value may be treated as the score value as it is. When the evaluation information is specific point information, for example, the point information may be treated as the score value as it is.

[0122] For example, the numerical value of the number of times information of the usage history may be treated as the score value as it is, or a first score value may be set for the number of times information included in a predetermined first range, and a second score value may be set for the number of times information included in a second range different from the first range. Similarly to the above-mentioned evaluation information, the achievement information may be converted into a score value based on table information that associates the achievement information and the score value set by the administrator. Furthermore, the evaluation information from the external system may be similar to the evaluation information on the above-mentioned website related to the present service, and the specific content does not limit the scope of the present disclosure.

[0123] In the present disclosure, the credit information may be information obtained by combining one or more of the following: personal information, evaluation information, performance information, outcome information, and external evaluation information. Therefore, the score value used in the credit condition determination process may be a value obtained by combining one or more of the following: a score value based on personal information, a score value based on evaluation information, a score value based on performance information, a score value based on outcome information, and a score value based on external evaluation information.

[0124] In such a case, a score value based on a portion of the multiple types of information included in the credit information may be weighted relative to score values ​​based on the other information. For example, a predetermined weighting process may be applied to score values ​​based on evaluation information and achievement information among personal information, evaluation information, performance information, outcome information, and external evaluation information. Furthermore, a score value based on a portion of one or more items included in the portion of information may be weighted relative to score values ​​based on the other items. For example, information set for the age item among personal information may be weighted relative to other items.

[0125] The score value may also be weighted depending on the person who provided the credit information. For example, a predetermined weighting may be applied to the score value of credit information provided by a third party such as a job seeker or an agent rather than to credit information provided by the job seeker himself / herself.

[0126] Furthermore, when credit information on a job seeker is provided by an agent, a weighting process may be performed on the score value, etc., depending on the trust value of the agent. The trust value of an agent may be information that is set in advance depending on, for example, the track record of using the service, the number of successful hires using the service, the number of successful hires, and the low number of rejected candidates, or information on hiring results such as the hiring rate, and evaluation information of the agent by other users in the service or an external system. Rank information for agents is set depending on the trust value of each of a plurality of agents, and the set rank information may be stored in storage device 103.

[0127] Furthermore, if the agent is an organization such as a corporation, weighting may be applied to the score value depending on the trust value of the employee or person in charge at the agent. The agent's trust value for an employee may be stored in the storage device 103 in association with the user ID of the employee. The trust value may be calculated in the same way as the trust value for an agent, using information that is preset depending on, for example, the usage record of the service, the number of successful hires using the service, the number of successful hires, and the low number of rejected applicants, or information on results related to hiring such as the hiring rate, and evaluation information of the agent from other users in the service or an external system.

[0128] Note that the above-mentioned method of converting personal information, evaluation information, performance information, outcome information, and external evaluation information into score values ​​is just one example, and the specific contents do not limit the scope of the present disclosure.

[0129] In the present disclosure, the credit conditions may be set, for example, by an administrator, or may be set by one or more members with a certain voting right for the operation of the service. Alternatively, the credit conditions may be set based on a certain smart contract. The specific content of the credit conditions and the specific setting method do not limit the scope of the present disclosure.

[0130] In addition, the determination of whether the first credit information satisfies the first credit condition has been described as being performed when the information processing server 10 receives credit information associated with the first identification information, and whether the first credit information satisfies the first credit condition in response to the new receipt of credit information, but this is not limited thereto. For example, when the information processing server 10 receives credit information associated with the first identification information, it may be determined whether the credit information associated with the first identification information satisfies the first credit condition in response to the arrival of a timing of a predetermined period determined by a year and month, etc., rather than the fact that new credit information has been received. The timing at which it is determined whether each of the credit information associated with each of the multiple identification information satisfies the credit condition can be arbitrarily set by the administrator, and the scope of the present disclosure is not limited by the specific content.

[0131] Returning to Figure 4, when the first credit information satisfies the first credit condition, the information processing server 10 may send a message inquiring whether or not to display the first substitute information in the first profile information based on the first identification information (step S404).

[0132] Specifically, the information processing server 10 may use predetermined address information stored in the storage device 103 in association with the first identification information to inquire of the first job seeker user whether or not to display the first substitute information in place of the first personal information. Alternatively, the information processing server 10 may display the message on a predetermined page of a website or the like related to the service when the first job seeker user accesses the website or the like related to the service based on the first identification information. The predetermined address information associated with the first identification information may be the address information of the agent user, and in this case, a message regarding whether or not to display the first substitute information may be transmitted to the agent user.

[0133] As described below, the profile information may be, for example, an introduction page dedicated to the job seeker user that is made public on a website or the like related to this service for the purpose of job matching for the job seeker user.

[0134] The substitute information may be information displayed in place of personal information in the profile information in order to conceal the personal information of the job seeker user. Specifically, for example, when the first personal information is "name", the first substitute information may be information such as "nickname" or "pseudonym" displayed in place of "name". In such a case, for example, a predetermined symbol such as a hyphen displayed in place of personal information in the "name" field of the profile information may also be a substitute display, and hiding the "name" field may also be included in the substitute information "not specified".

[0135] In the present disclosure, the content of the personal information to be displayed as a substitute may not be received by the information processing server 10 and stored in the storage device 300. For example, the information processing server 10 may receive the first personal information to determine whether or not the substitute display is possible, and after the determination, may delete the first personal information without storing it in the storage device 300. Also, for example, the information processing server 10 may determine whether or not the substitute display is possible based on the performance information, the achievement information, etc., and may display the substitute information of the first personal information in the profile information without receiving the first personal information.

[0136] The personal information for which the first job seeker user is inquired about whether or not to display alternative information may be, for example, only the first personal information, or may be multiple pieces of personal information including the first personal information. When the subject of the inquiry for alternative display is only the first personal information, the item of the first personal information may be a predetermined item, such as "name," or may be an item set by the first job seeker user at a predetermined timing. When the subject of the inquiry for alternative display is multiple pieces of personal information, a selection may be allowed to display some of the multiple pieces of personal information as alternative display and not display the rest as alternative display. The number and contents of the items of personal information to be the subject of alternative display may be arbitrarily set by the administrator, and the scope of the present disclosure is not limited by the specific contents.

[0137] The first job seeker user may then operate the terminal device 200 to cause the message to be displayed on the display medium 201, and respond as to whether or not to display the first substitute information based on the response method set by the administrator.

[0138] Returning to FIG. 4, when the information processing server 10 receives information from the terminal device 200 operated by the first job seeker user indicating that the first alternative information is to be displayed instead of the first personal information, the information processing server 10 may store the answer result in the storage device 103 in association with the first identification information (step S405).

[0139] Specifically, the information processing server 10 may, for example, in a predetermined database in which information on a first job seeker user is accumulated, manage, in association with the identification information of the first job seeker user, items and contents of one or more pieces of personal information that are to be displayed as alternative information in the profile information.

[0140] The content of the alternative information may be set by the first job seeker user at any timing. That is, the information processing server 10 may display an alternative information setting page on which the first alternative information can be set on the display medium 201 provided in the terminal device 200 operated by the job seeker user based on the first identification information, store the set content in the storage device 103 when the content set on the alternative information setting screen is received, and make the set content displayable in the first profile information when the first credit information satisfies the first credit condition.

[0141] Specifically, for example, the first job seeker user may be able to set the content of the alternative information at the time of user registration when starting to use the service, or after starting to use the service, in response to the first credit information satisfying the first credit condition. The alternative information setting page may be a predetermined dedicated page related to the service, or may be a page for setting personal information. The alternative information setting page may be any page on which alternative information can be set, and the scope of the present disclosure is not limited by the specific content of the alternative information setting page.

[0142] In the above explanation, an inquiry is made as to whether or not to display the first substitute information as a substitute when the first credit information satisfies the first credit condition. However, for example, the first job seeker user may have a choice stored in advance in the database as to whether or not to display the first personal information as the first substitute information at any time.

[0143] In other words, when information indicating that the first alternative information is to be displayed in the first profile information is stored in the storage device 103 in correspondence with the first identification information, the information processing server 10 may display the first alternative information in the first profile information in response to the first credit information satisfying the first credit condition.

[0144] In addition, the setting of whether or not to display the first personal information as the first substitute information may be possible at any time on a specific page related to the Service that is associated with the first identification information of the first job seeker user, for example.

[0145] As described above, the information processing server 10 may cause the first substitute information to be displayed in place of the first personal information in the profile information of the first job seeker user based on the selection of the first job seeker user when the first credit information satisfies the first credit condition. That is, when the first credit information stored in the storage device 103 in association with the first identification information of the first job seeker user among the multiple job seeker users satisfies the first credit condition, the information processing server 10 may cause the first substitute information to be displayed in place of the first personal information of the first job seeker user in the first profile information associated with the first identification information viewable on the display medium 201 provided in the terminal device 200 operated by the recruiter user who uses the service as an employer.

[0146] Returning to Fig. 4, the information processing server 10 may receive a request to view the first profile information from the second terminal device 200b (step S406). For ease of explanation, the terminal device making the request to view the first profile information to the information processing server 10 in Fig. 4 is described as being the second terminal device 200b, but it may be the same device as the first terminal device 200a.

[0147] Specifically, for example, when an arbitrary employer user operates the second terminal device 200b to extract a first job seeker user from a list of multiple job seeker users and a predetermined button for displaying first profile information of the first job seeker user is selected using the input unit 202, information indicating the viewing request may be transmitted from the communication unit 203b of the second terminal device 200b to the information processing server 10.

[0148] Returning to Fig. 4, in response to receiving the viewing request associated with the first identification information, the information processing server 10 may cause the display medium 201b of the second terminal device 200b to display the first profile information (step S407). Specifically, for example, the information processing server 10 may transmit information for displaying the first profile information on the display medium 201b to the second terminal device 200b. As described above, the profile information may display introduction information of the job seeker user for job matching between users.

[0149] The second terminal device 200b then displays the first profile information on the display medium 201b based on the information received from the information processing server 10, and may display the first alternative information instead of the first personal information according to the setting of the alternative display made by the first job seeker user (step S408). Note that if the setting to display the alternative information has been made by the first job seeker user, the alternative information may be transmitted from the information processing server 10 to the second terminal device 200b in step S407.

[0150] Fig. 9 is a diagram showing an example of an image showing the first profile information displayed on the display medium 201. In Fig. 9, the first profile information 900a associated with the first identification information may be a page included in a website or the like related to the present service. In Fig. 9, the first profile information 900a may include one or more items 90 related to the job seeker user, an area 91 in which the contents of each item 90 are displayed, and a request button 92 with which a job can be requested from the first job seeker user.

[0151] As shown in FIG. 9, for example, in the item “Name” included in the first profile information 900a, first alternative information may be displayed instead of the first personal information, and personal information may be displayed in each of the items “Age” and “Affiliation”.

[0152] In FIG. 9, the first substitute information is described as being displayed in the item "Name", but as described above, the first substitute information may be displayed in the item "Age". In FIG. 9, the items 90 are described as "Name", "Age", and "Affiliation", but these are merely examples, and the contents and number of items may be arbitrarily set by an administrator, or may be set by a user. The display mode of the area 91 in FIG. 9 is merely an example, and the specific mode does not limit the scope of the present disclosure. The information processing in which the control unit 205 displays the profile information 900 on the display medium 201 is well known, and therefore a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0153] In the above description, the first profile information 900a is described as page information dedicated to the first job seeker user, but this is not limited to the above. Fig. 10 is a diagram showing another first example of an image showing the first profile information displayed on a display medium. As shown in Fig. 10, on a predetermined page of a website or the like related to this service, the profile information of a plurality of job seeker users may be listed, and the listed information may include the first profile information 900b.

[0154] The transmission and reception of information between the information processing server 10 and the terminal device 200, and the information processing performed in each unit of the information processing server 10 and the terminal device 200 have been described above with reference to FIGS.

[0155] In the above description, the profile information 900 is described as including the request button 92, but this is not limited to the above. For example, the button 92 for requesting a job from the job seeker user may be displayed on a page different from the page displaying the profile information 900. Furthermore, when the profile information 900 is described on multiple pages, the information described on each of the multiple pages may be collectively referred to as the profile information. For example, when a page describing bibliographic matters and a page for job requests are separate, the information on the bibliographic matters and the information on job requests may be collectively referred to as the profile information.

[0156] Various programs for executing this service on the terminal device 200 may be transmitted from the information processing server 10 to the terminal device 200 as appropriate. The timing at which the various programs for executing this service are transmitted to the terminal device 200 is not limited to the present invention. In the case of a website, transmission of various programs for realizing basic functions may be completed at the start of provision of the service.

[0157] Each page on the website related to this service or each page on a specific application software may be scrollable. For example, in the display medium 201 shown in Fig. 9, a request button 92 may be displayed by operating a scroll bar or a touch panel (not shown).

[0158] In the above description, the credit information is converted into a score value, and it is determined whether or not the first credit condition is satisfied based on the converted score value. However, this is not limited to the above.

[0159] For example, when the first credit condition is a condition related to the amount of information in the credit information, the information processing server 10 may determine that the first credit condition is not satisfied when the amount of information in the first credit information is a first amount of information, and may determine that the first credit condition is satisfied when the amount of information in the first credit information is a second amount of information that is greater than the first amount of information.

[0160] The amount of information of the credit information may be, for example, the number of items of information, the number of characters, etc. Also, whether or not the first credit condition is satisfied may be determined based on the amount of information in a predetermined period. Specifically, for example, when the number of items of the accumulated personal information is three, it may be determined that the first credit condition is not satisfied. On the other hand, when the number of items of the accumulated personal information is four, it may be determined that the first credit condition is not satisfied. Also, when the number of characters included in the result information such as a sentence is equal to or greater than a predetermined number, it may be determined that the first credit condition is satisfied. Also, when the number of results of the first job seeker user provided by the employer user is equal to or greater than a predetermined number, it may be determined that the first credit condition is satisfied. The criteria for determining whether or not the first credit condition is satisfied based on the amount of information of the credit information can be arbitrarily set by the administrator, and the scope of the present disclosure is not limited by the specific content.

[0161] In such a case, when the amount of information in the first credit information is the second amount of information, the information processing server 10 may cause first alternative information to be displayed in place of the first personal information, and when the amount of information in the first credit information is a third amount of information that is greater than the second amount of information, may further cause second alternative information to be displayed in place of second personal information different from the first personal information in the first profile information.

[0162] Fig. 11 is a diagram showing another second example of an image showing the first profile information displayed on a display medium. When achievement information having a second amount of information is stored in the storage device 103 as the amount of information of the first credit information, the information processing server 10 may allow only the item "name" to be alternatively displayed in the first profile information 900a, for example, as shown in Fig. 9. On the other hand, when achievement information having a third amount of information, which is greater than the second amount of information, is stored in the storage device 103 as the amount of information of the first credit information, the information processing server 10 may allow the item "name" and further the item "age" to be alternatively displayed in the first profile information 900a, for example, as shown in Fig. 11.

[0163] Also, for example, when the first credit condition is a condition related to the content of the credit information, the information processing server 10 may determine that the first credit condition is not satisfied when the content of the first credit information is a first content, and may determine that the first credit condition is satisfied when the content of the first credit information is a second content different from the first content.

[0164] The contents of the credit information may be, for example, specific contents included in the evaluation information, the achievement information, etc. Specifically, for example, when the score information in the accumulated evaluation information is a first score, it may be determined that the first credit condition is not satisfied, and when the score information is a second score higher than the first score, it may be determined that the first credit condition is satisfied. In addition, when a specific evaluation content or achievement content is not included in the evaluation information, it may be determined that the first credit condition is not satisfied, and when the specific evaluation content or achievement content is included, it may be determined that the first credit condition is satisfied. Whether or not the specific evaluation content and the specific achievement content are included in the credit information may be determined using a natural language processing program. Note that the specific evaluation content and the content of the specific achievement can be arbitrarily set by the administrator, and the scope of the present disclosure is not limited by the specific content.

[0165] In such a case, when the content of the first credit information is the second content, the information processing server 10 may make it possible to display the first alternative information in place of the first personal information, and when the content of the first credit information is the second content and a third content including content different from the second content, may further make it possible to display the second alternative information in place of the second personal information different from the first personal information in the first profile information.

[0166] For example, when second contents including the first evaluation contents are stored in the storage device 103 as the contents of the first credit information, the information processing server 10 may allow only the item "name" to be alternatively displayed in the first profile information 900a as shown in Fig. 9. On the other hand, when third contents including the first evaluation contents and second evaluation contents different from the first evaluation contents are stored in the storage device 103 as the contents of the first credit information, the information processing server 10 may allow the items "name" and further "age" to be alternatively displayed in the first profile information 900a as shown in Fig. 11.

[0167] In the above description, the credit conditions are conditions related to the amount of information in the credit information, and the credit conditions are conditions related to the content of the credit information. However, the credit conditions may be conditions related to the amount and content of information in the credit information. For example, among the personal information, evaluation information, and performance information contained in the credit information, a portion of the information may be converted into a score value based on the amount of information, and the other information may be converted into a score value based on the content, and whether or not the credit conditions are satisfied may be determined based on the total score value. Furthermore, at least one item among one or more items contained in the portion of information may be converted into a score value based on the amount of information and the content, and the other information or items may be converted into a score value based on one of the amount of information and the content, and whether or not the credit conditions are satisfied may be determined based on the total score value.

[0168] In the above explanation, it has been explained that the first personal information can be displayed instead when the credit information stored in memory device 103 in correspondence with the job seeker user's identification information satisfies the first credit condition, but this is not limited to the above.

[0169] For example, when one or more personal information pieces of a second job seeker user are stored in storage device 103 in association with the second identification information of the second job seeker user, and the one or more personal information pieces include specified personal information, if the specified personal information satisfies specified conditions, the criteria for allowing the personal information to be alternatively displayed in the second profile information associated with the second identification information may be the second credit conditions rather than the first credit conditions.

[0170] Specifically, for example, when "age" information is stored in memory device 103 as personal information of a second job seeker user, and the age of the second job seeker user satisfies a predetermined condition related to age, and the second credit information associated with the second identification information and stored in memory device 103 satisfies a second credit condition different from the first credit condition, a third alternative display may be made possible in place of the third personal information of the second job seeker user.

[0171] In such a case, the predetermined condition regarding age may be a condition of a specific age or more, a condition greater than a specific age, a condition less than a specific age, or a condition such as less than a specific age. In addition, the second credit condition may be a condition in which, for example, a score value related to credit information required to satisfy the condition is lower than a score value required to satisfy the first credit condition, or a condition in which a score value higher than a score value required to satisfy the first credit condition. In addition, the content of the third personal information may be the same as the above-mentioned first personal information, or may be restricted differently from the first personal information. For example, the third personal information may be specific personal information such as age, or in a case where the user can set personal information to be displayed as an alternative, the range of options for the third personal information may be narrower than the range of options for the first personal information.

[0172] The specific personal information of the second job seeker user is not limited to age information. For example, the specific personal information may be the number of years of experience in a specific occupation, and the scope of the present disclosure is not limited by the specific content.

[0173] In other words, when the content of specified personal information of a second job seeker user stored in storage device 103 in association with the second identification information of the second job seeker user satisfies specified conditions, the information processing server 10 may cause third alternative information to be displayed in place of the third personal information of the second job seeker user in the second profile information associated with the second identification information when the second credit information stored in storage device 103 in association with the second identification information satisfies second credit conditions different from the first credit conditions.

[0174] The range of jobs that a job seeker user can receive from a recruiter user in the profile information may be variable depending on, for example, the credit information accumulated in the storage device 103.

[0175] For example, when the first credit information associated with the first identification information satisfies the first credit condition, the information processing server 10 may allow any user to view a first range of job information in the first profile information 900a, and the employer user may be able to request work from the first job seeker user within that range. The first range may be, for example, a range regarding the amount of work, a range regarding the period, a range regarding remuneration or wages, or a range of work content that can be requested.

[0176] On the other hand, when the first credit information further satisfies the first credit condition, for example by adding a score value, and also satisfies a third credit condition different from the first credit condition, the information processing server 10 may allow any user to view a second range of job information in the first profile information 900a, and the recruiter user may be able to request work from the first job seeker user within that range. The second range may be broader than the first range. For example, if the first range is limited to short-term contracts, the second range may be a range including employment as an employee.

[0177] In addition, the third credit condition may be a condition that includes the first credit condition. For example, when the first credit information satisfies the first credit condition and the third credit condition, the information processing server 10 may determine that the first credit information satisfies the third credit condition and set the display content of the first profile information.

[0178] In other words, when the first credit information satisfies the first credit condition and the first alternative information is displayed in the first profile information, the information processing server 10 may make a first range of job information that the employer user can request in association with the first identification information viewable in the first profile information, and when the first credit information further satisfies the third credit condition, a second range of job information that is broader than the first range and that can be requested in association with the first identification information viewable in the first profile information.

[0179] When the first credit condition is a condition related to the amount of information of the credit information, the amount of information of the first credit information that satisfies the third credit condition may be greater than the amount of information of the credit information that satisfies the first credit condition and does not satisfy the third credit condition. When the first credit condition is a condition related to the content of the credit information, the content of the first credit information that satisfies the third credit condition may include content that is different from the content of the credit information that satisfies the first credit condition and does not satisfy the third credit condition.

[0180] 12 is a flow diagram showing an example of the flow of the operation of the information processing server 10. Hereinafter, an example of the flow of the operation of the information processing server 10 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0181] Note that each flow diagram described below merely illustrates steps necessary for explaining the processing procedure of the operation of the information processing server 10 according to the present disclosure. This does not prevent steps related to the processing of other operations from being appropriately inserted between the steps of each flow diagram within the scope of the functions of the embodiment of the present invention.

[0182] Furthermore, when a system for providing this service is constructed, the user interface is generally executed by an event-driven program, but for the sake of convenience, the flow diagrams in the embodiments of the present invention are not necessarily described based on the event-driven flow diagrams. Furthermore, generally, an event is generated by the terminal device 200, but may be generated by the information processing server 10. Event processing may be performed by the terminal device 200, or may be performed by the information processing server 10. In other words, the subject of event generation or event processing does not limit the present invention.

[0183] The description of the flow diagrams above may be applied to the flow diagrams described below.

[0184] In FIG. 12, for example, the information processing server 10 may receive credit information indicating the credit of a job seeker user from any terminal device 200 (step S1201), and store the credit information in the storage device 103 in association with the job seeker user's identification information (step S1202).

[0185] In such a case, when the information processing server 10 stores the received credit information in the storage device 103 based on the identification information associated with the credit information, it may determine whether the credit information associated with the identification information and stored in the storage device 103 satisfies the first credit condition (step S1203).

[0186] When the credit information stored in the storage device 103 does not satisfy the first credit condition (step S1203: NO), the information processing server 10 may wait until receiving new credit information associated with the identification information. On the other hand, when the first credit information stored in the storage device 103 in association with the first identification information of a first job seeker user among a plurality of job seeker users satisfies the first credit condition (step S1203: YES), the information processing server 10 may cause first substitute information to be displayed in place of the first personal information of the first job seeker user in the first profile information 900 associated with the first identification information viewable on the display medium 201 provided in the terminal device 200 operated by the recruiter user (step S1204).

[0187] An example of the flow of operations of the information processing server 10 has been described above with reference to FIG.

[0188] In the present disclosure, access to a website related to the present service may be realized, for example, by selecting URL information of the website on display medium 201. In the present disclosure, the URL information may include, for example, hashed information.

[0189] In the present disclosure, the contents of the alternatively displayable personal information when one or more credit conditions are satisfied may be managed by a database. The database may be a predetermined table. The information processing server 10 may set the alternatively displayable personal information by referring to the predetermined table based on the credit information stored in the storage device 103. The alternatively displayable personal information may be set based on a smart contract. Specifically, on the condition that the credit information stored in the storage device 103 satisfies the credit conditions, the alternatively displayable personal information may be set based on the conditions of a predetermined smart contract. Such transactions may be held, for example, in a distributed ledger.

[0190] In the present disclosure, the structure or model of the database of the storage device 103 may be a relational database or a non-relational database (NoSQL: Not only SQL). The NoSQL database may be, for example, an object-oriented database, an XML database, a key-value store, or a hierarchical database. The database may also be a distributed ledger.

[0191] As described above, the information processing method using the information processing server 10 according to the present embodiment is an information processing method for providing a job matching service to a user in an information processing system 1 having an information processing server 10 that can be connected to a plurality of terminal devices 200 via a communication network 300, and when the information processing server 10 receives credit information indicating the credit of a job seeker user who uses the service as a job seeker from any of the terminal devices 200, the information processing server 10 stores the credit information in the storage device 103 in association with the identification information of the job seeker user, and when the first credit information stored in the storage device 103 in association with the first identification information of a first job seeker user among the plurality of job seeker users satisfies a first credit condition, the information processing server 10 may cause first substitute information to be displayed in place of the first personal information of the first job seeker user in first profile information 900 associated with the first identification information that is viewable on a display medium 201 provided on the terminal device 200 operated by the employer user who uses the service as an employer.

[0192] As a result, when a job matching service is provided to job seeker users and employer users, only job seeker users who have been given a credit rating among multiple job seeker users will be able to view alternative information in place of personal information.

[0193] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are possible. Each modification will be described below.

[0194] (Variation 1) In the above description, each user is assigned one piece of identification information, but for example, each user may be assigned one or more pieces of identification information. As described above, it is sufficient to uniquely identify a user based on the identification information, and it is not necessary to uniquely identify the identification information based on the user.

[0195] Specifically, for example, in response to an arbitrary application from the first job seeker user, the first job seeker user may be given the above-mentioned first identification information and further the third identification information. The first identification information and the third identification information may be stored in the storage device 103 in association with each other as identification information of the same user. Note that one of the first identification information and the third identification information may be primary, or both may be treated as identification information of the same rank.

[0196] Furthermore, the credit information may be transmitted from any terminal device 200 to the information processing server 10 in association with the identification information of the job seeker user who is the subject of credit and the identification information of the person transmitting the credit information.

[0197] In such a case, the first job seeker user may be able to carry out activities such as job seeking based on the first identification information and activities such as job seeking based on the third identification information. Specifically, the first job seeker user may be able to manage profile information associated with the first identification information and profile information associated with the third identification information. In such a case, alternative information for a piece of personal information in the profile information associated with the first identification information and alternative information for the piece of personal information in the profile information associated with the third identification information may be the same as or different from each other.

[0198] On the other hand, when the first job seeker user transmits credit information associated with the third identification information to the information processing server 10 as an activity based on the first identification information, and when the first job seeker user transmits credit information associated with the first identification information to the information processing server 10 as an activity based on the third identification information, the information processing server 10 does not need to store the received credit information in the storage device 103. This is to prevent the first job seeker user from evaluating himself / herself among multiple identification information of the same user.

[0199] In other words, in a case where a first identification information and further a third identification information are associated and stored in the memory device 103 for a first job seeker user, and the job seeker user's credit information is received by the information processing server 10 in association with the job seeker user's identification information and the identification information of the sender of the credit information, when the information processing server 10 receives the credit information associated with the first identification information of the first job seeker user from a first sender associated with identification information other than the third identification information, it may store the received credit information in the memory device 103, but on the other hand, when it receives the credit information from a second sender associated with the third identification information, it may not store the received credit information in the memory device 103.

[0200] This allows a job seeker user to be permitted to carry out activities such as job hunting based on each of multiple identification information, while avoiding the assignment of credit information between the user's multiple identification information.

[0201] The contents of this modified example 1 may be applied not only to the contents of the embodiment but also to the contents of the other modified examples.

[0202] In the above description of the embodiment and the modified examples, descriptions of known techniques related to each function and each information processing are omitted.

[0203] (An example of a computer hardware configuration) The functions of each unit in the embodiment and each modification may be realized by a program.

[0204] In other words, an information processing program according to one embodiment of the present invention may cause a computer to execute a communication process for communicating with a plurality of terminal devices 200 via a communication network 300, and a control process for, when credit information indicating the credit of a job seeker user using the job matching service as a job seeker is received from any of the terminal devices 200, storing the credit information in the memory device 103 in association with the identification information of the job seeker user, and, when the first credit information stored in the memory device 103 in association with the first identification information of a first job seeker user among the plurality of job seeker users satisfies a first credit condition, causing first substitute information to be displayed in place of the first personal information of the first job seeker user in first profile information associated with the first identification information viewable on a display medium 201 provided on a terminal device 200 operated by a recruiter user who uses the service as an employer.
