Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program that match an orderer who requests a quest (challenge) with a contractor who accepts the quest request. [Background technology]

[0002] Various systems are known as matching services that connect orderers who order tasks with contractors who accept the tasks (see, for example, Patent Document 1). For example, in a matching service, the orderer sends information about the order via a communication line to the computer of a coordinator in charge of the potential order recipient, and the coordinator introduces the order to an appropriate candidate. If the candidate decides to apply for the order, he or she accesses a company selection system and applies. The orderer views the information about the entered candidate order recipient, and if he or she wishes to meet with the candidate order recipient, he or she requests an interview by telephone, email, or the like, and pays an introduction fee to the operator of the matching service.

[0003] Furthermore, a technology for matching employers and job seekers has been disclosed (see, for example, Patent Document 2). For example, the technology compares the conditions and tasks required by the employer with the combinations of applicable occupations and possessed proficiency levels obtained from the job seeker.

[0004] In addition, a system that makes it possible to provide optimal solution information for a problem being considered is known (see, for example, Patent Document 3). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2018-180671 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-157450 [Patent Document 3] Patent No. 7483849 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] The above-mentioned task matching method had the following problems. It required a coordinator with high matching ability and accurate recording of the contractor's skills for the task. This made it difficult to accept challenging tasks (quests) and did not contribute to improving the contractor's skills.

[0007] Therefore, the present invention aims to provide an information processing device, information processing method, and program that allows even inexperienced contractors to have the opportunity to accept desired tasks by making ordered tasks into quests (challenges), and also allows the orderer to give an evaluation to the contractor. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The information processing device of the present invention comprises a storage device for storing information, an order receiving unit that receives tasks from an orderer, a task publishing unit that publishes the tasks received by the order receiving unit, an order receiving unit that receives orders from contractors who have viewed the published tasks, and an evaluation processing unit that processes task evaluations by the orderer of tasks processed by the contractors.

[0009] The information processing method of the present invention is carried out by a computer through the steps of accepting tasks from an orderer, publishing the tasks accepted by the order acceptance unit, accepting orders from contractors who have viewed the published tasks, and processing task evaluations in which the orderer evaluates the tasks processed by the contractors.

[0010] The program of the present invention causes a computer to execute the steps of accepting tasks from an orderer, publishing the tasks accepted by the order acceptance unit, accepting orders from contractors who have viewed the published tasks, and processing task evaluations in which the orderer evaluates the tasks processed by the contractors. [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] According to the present invention, by treating an ordered task as a quest, even an inexperienced contractor is given the opportunity to receive a desired task, and the orderer can also give an evaluation to the contractor. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 7] FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing a display example of a terminal device connected to the human resources management system of the present embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0014] FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing the configuration of a human resources management system (information processing device) 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the processing flow of the human resources management system 10, and FIGS. 3 to 7 are explanatory diagrams showing examples of displays on a terminal device connected to the human resources management system 10.

[0015] As shown in Figure 1, the human resources management system 10 includes a server 100, terminal devices 200 and 201 operated by clients H1 and H2 connected via a communication line 400 such as the Internet, and terminal devices 300 and 301 operated by contractors E1 and E2.

[0016] The server 100 includes a memory unit 110 that stores various data, a processing unit 120 that processes the data, and a communication unit 130 that controls data exchange with the outside. The memory unit 110 includes a quest memory unit 111, an orderer information memory unit 112, and a contractor information memory unit 113. The processing unit 120 also includes a quest receiving unit 121 that receives quests (challenges) from orderers, a quest publishing unit 122 that publishes quests, an order receiving unit 123 that receives orders from contractors, and an evaluation processing unit 124 that processes quest evaluations. A quest is a task (one-off job or repetitive job) that includes a challenging task for which the contractor has no or little experience.

[0017] Next, the processing performed by the human resource management system 10 will be described. As shown in Fig. 2, the client H1 inputs a quest into the terminal device 200 (ST10). The quest here is, for example, "a project to create a set of design materials for an LP" or "creating slides to be used in a presentation." The input quest is accepted by the quest acceptance unit 121, and is input as a quest into the quest storage unit 111 in the server 100, and the client information is input into the client information storage unit 112. In the quest storage unit 111, the quests are listed as shown in Fig. 3.

[0018] The quests stored in the quest storage unit 111 are made public by the quest publishing unit 122 and can be viewed on the terminal devices 300, 301 via the communication line 400 (ST20). The contractor E1 views multiple quests from the terminal device 300 using a screen such as that shown in Fig. 4, and views the details of the quests as shown in Fig. 5. After confirming that the quests are ones that he or she can handle, the contractor E1 enters quest application information (ST30).

[0019] The quest application information is input into the contractor information storage unit 113 as an order application record (ST21) and is sent as order information to the terminal device 200 of the original purchaser H1 (ST22). The purchaser who receives the order information determines the contractor (ST11). Note that if there are multiple contractors as shown in Figure 6, the contractor is determined by checking the detailed profiles of the contractors as shown in Figure 7.

[0020] The determined contractor is entered into the contractor information storage unit 113 as a contractor information record (ST23) and transmitted to the terminal device 300 of the contractor E1 as order acceptance information (ST24). The contractor E1 receives the order acceptance information at the terminal device 300 (ST31), processes the quest, and delivers the quest to the orderer H1 (ST32). The orderer H1 checks the delivery (ST12) and determines whether the quest has been completed or not. If the quest has not been completed, it is returned to the contractor E1 side, and the quest is processed and delivered again.

[0021] If the quest is completed, a completion receipt signal is sent to the contractor E1 (ST33). The contractor E1 inputs an evaluation of the quest content and the orderer H1 (ST34), and the orderer H1 evaluates the delivery of the quest and the contractor E1 (ST13). These evaluations are processed by the evaluation processing unit 124 and stored in the quest storage unit 111, the orderer information storage unit 112, and the contractor information storage unit 113 (ST25). The completed quest is posted in a list as a completed quest (ST26).

[0022] According to the human resources management system 10, which is an embodiment of the present invention, by treating the ordered tasks as quests, even inexperienced contractors are given the opportunity to receive the tasks they desire, and the orderer can also give an evaluation to the contractor.

[0023] The reward to the contractor E1 generated by the above-mentioned quest processing is paid not only in money but also, if the contractor is within the same company, as personnel evaluation points within the company or points added to bonuses.

[0024] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to these and that various improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. [Industrial Applicability]

[0025] The present invention is effective as an information processing device, information processing method, and program that allows even contractors with little work experience to be given the opportunity to receive tasks, and allows the client to give an evaluation to the contractor.
