Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0017] ●Overview Hereinafter, the interview management system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the interview is an example of an interview, and the interview management device is an example of an interview management device. The interview management system according to the present embodiment efficiently matches employers and applicants by dispatching a hired car in response to registration from the applicant and conducting an employment interview by video call during the stay time in the hired car. In particular, the applicant regularly reserves the hired car of this system and uses it for commuting. Here, the hired car indicates a moving body that transports passengers, for example, an automobile, but it may be a different object. Also, the driving of the hired car may be performed by a driver or may be autonomous driving. Note that the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the usage form assuming the recruitment described in this embodiment, but can be applied to any service that converts the travel time into private disposable time in the higher by dispatching the higher and conducts a video call during the stay time in the higher. For example, it may be configured such that a person in the higher receives services such as insurance, housing, and real estate sales through a video call. Also, not limited to sales, it may be configured to receive services such as consulting, counseling, and legal consultation through a video call. Further, a person in the higher may provide a service through a video call. For example, a salesman, a consultant, a counselor, and a person in the legal profession may ride in the higher and provide a service to a remote person through a video call in the higher. Note that the person providing the service and the person receiving the service may ride in different highers and conduct a video call during the stay time in each higher.

[0018] First, the outline of the interview management system according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the interview management system is assumed to be used by three parties: a job seeker, an employer, and an interviewer. Also, the interview management system is capable of receiving information from the terminal of the higher company that dispatches the higher to the job seeker, that is, the dispatching terminal 20. A job seeker is a person who widely seeks employment opportunities, including part-time jobs, part-time work, internship work, and full-time employment. A job seeker is an example of a first user. An employer is a person who recruits and hires a job seeker. An employer is an example of a second user. An interviewer is someone who conducts a proxy interview to help recruiters consider whether to offer an interview to a job seeker; for example, a recruitment intermediary might fulfill this role. The proxy interview can be viewed by the recruiter in real time or as a recorded session afterward. In addition to the proxy interviews that recruiters can view, the interviewer may also conduct interviews inside or outside the hired vehicle to collect profile information for creating the job seeker's resume or work history, or to act as a career advisor and provide advice on job searching. Furthermore, a career advisor may communicate with the job seeker's terminal using a separate device, or conduct interviews via the vehicle, separate from the interviewer.

[0019] Job seekers, recruiters, and interviewers each use a job seeker terminal 10, a recruiter terminal 50, and an interviewer terminal 40, respectively, to exchange data with the interview management device 1. Furthermore, while inside the hired car T, job seekers exchange data with the interview management device 1 via a vehicle terminal 30 installed in the hired car T. The configuration of each terminal will be described later, but it can be implemented using, for example, a data-communication-capable smart device or personal computer. The recruiter terminal 50 is an example of a second user terminal.

[0020] Job seekers use a job seeker terminal 10, such as their smartphone, to enter their personal information and make a reservation for a hired car T. The information included in this reservation includes the desired date and time of boarding, the pick-up location, and the destination. This system assumes that job seekers use hired car T regularly, and the desired date and time of boarding might be something like "every Friday at 8:00".

[0021] When the interview management device 1 receives a dispatch reservation, it transmits the dispatch reservation information to the dispatch terminal 20. The dispatch terminal 20 refers to its own database, etc., to dispatch a hired car T and has it transport the job seeker.

[0022] The interview management device 1 calculates the available interview times that job seekers can use for interviews within the hired car T based on the dispatch reservation, and makes the information of available interview times available to the interviewer and the recruiter via the interviewer terminal 40 and the recruiter terminal 50. When an interviewer makes a reservation for a proxy interview date and time via the interviewer terminal 40, the reservation information is recorded in the interview management device 1. Similarly, when a recruiter makes a reservation for an interview date and time via the recruiter terminal 50, the reservation information is also recorded in the interview management device 1.

[0023] When the scheduled time for a proxy interview arrives, the job seeker will receive a video call with the interviewer via the vehicle terminal 30 inside the hired car T. Similarly, when the scheduled time for an interview with the employer arrives, the job seeker will receive a video call via the vehicle terminal 30.

[0024] ●Functional Blocks Next, the functions of the interview management system according to this embodiment will be described in detail. As shown in Figure 2, the interview management system consists of an interview management device 1 configured to communicate via a network such as the Internet, a job seeker terminal 10, a vehicle terminal 30, an interviewer terminal 40, and a recruiter terminal 50. Note that multiple recruiter terminals 50 may be connected; in this embodiment, three recruiter terminals 50a, 50b, and 50c are connected. In this case, recruiter terminals 50a, 50b, and 50c are assumed to be terminals used by recruiters from different companies.

[0025] The job seeker terminal 10 is a terminal used by job seekers. This job seeker terminal 10 is implemented using a portable device, such as a handheld terminal or tablet terminal capable of sending and receiving data. The job seeker terminal 10 includes at least communication processing means such as a browser program for sending and receiving data with the interview management device 1, and input / output means such as a touch display for inputting and outputting data. The job seeker terminal 10 can view the job seeker's profile, resume sent from the career advisor (e.g., a draft of a resume or work history), and dispatch schedule, for example, via a dedicated application. It can also add, delete, and modify the profile, resume, dispatch schedule, etc. In addition to or instead of the dedicated application, the job seeker terminal 10 may also be able to perform the above processing via a general-purpose web browser.

[0026] Vehicle terminal 30 is a terminal installed in the hire car T. The vehicle terminal 30 may be a terminal installed in the hire car T that is capable of sending and receiving data, or a portable terminal such as a handheld terminal or tablet terminal may be installed and used inside the vehicle. This vehicle terminal 30 includes at least communication processing means for sending and receiving data via a network NW such as the Internet with the interview management device 1, and sound receiving means, sound outputting means, and display means for making video calls.

[0027] The interviewer terminal 40 is a terminal used by the interviewer conducting the proxy interview, and can be implemented as a so-called personal computer, tablet terminal, portable terminal capable of sending and receiving data, or so-called smart device. The interviewer terminal 40 includes at least input / output means for inputting and outputting various types of data, communication processing means for sending and receiving data via the interview management device 1 and a network NW such as the Internet, and also includes sound pickup means, sound output means, and display means for conducting video calls. In the following explanation, the functions of the terminal used by the carrier advisor are the same as those of the interviewer's terminal 40.

[0028] The recruiter terminal 50 is a terminal used by recruiters who hire job applicants, and is implemented using a so-called personal computer, tablet terminal, portable terminal capable of sending and receiving data, or so-called smart device. The employee terminal 50 includes at least input / output means for inputting and outputting various types of data, communication processing means for sending and receiving data via the interview management device 1 and a network NW such as the Internet, and also includes sound pickup means, sound output means, and display means for making video calls. The recruiter terminal 50 may be installed in a different hired car than the one the job seeker is riding in. The recruiter logs into the terminal, and the terminal functions as the recruiter terminal. The recruiter may also, like the job seeker, set up a ride reservation in advance and ride in the hired car. In this case, the vehicle terminal installed in the assigned hired car may be configured to automatically log in to the recruiter's account linked to the ride reservation. The recruiter's terminal 50 can view the job seeker's resume and ride schedule via a dedicated application or a general-purpose web browser. The dispatch reservation information also shows the date and time when the job seeker will stream a live video of a proxy interview. When a proxy interview is selected on the recruiter's terminal 50, the viewing schedule is displayed on the calendar on the terminal. Similarly, when a date and time for an interview with a job seeker is selected on the recruiter's terminal 50, the interview schedule is displayed on the calendar. For either a proxy interview or an in-person interview, or both, a video conference link is displayed on the recruiter's terminal 50, for example, on the calendar. The recruiter can select this link to view the proxy interview or start a video call for the interview.

[0029] The interview management device 1 is a device that mediates the exchange of information between job seekers and employers. This interview management device 1 is implemented by a server equipped with, for example, a processing unit such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a computer program executed by the CPU, and internal memory such as RAM (Random Access Memory) and ROM (Read Only Memory). As a result, the interview management device 1, as shown in Figure 2, consists of a functional block comprising a receiving unit 11, a reservation unit 12, an interview time slot calculation unit 13, a display control unit 14, an interview setting unit 15, a video call unit 16, a question processing unit 17, a communication processing unit 18, a job seeker information storage unit 1A, and a vehicle dispatch information storage unit 1B.

[0030] The receiving unit 11 is a functional unit that receives hired car reservation information transmitted from the job seeker terminal 10. The hired car reservation information includes, for example, the time of boarding, the boarding location, and the destination. The boarding time is entered assuming that the user will be taking the hired car multiple times on a regular basis, for example, "8:00 every Monday." The receiving unit 11 may also receive the desired drop-off time. The receiving unit 11 also receives profile information such as the job seeker's name and contact information, educational background, and work history. The profile information includes items that are listed on a resume. The receiving unit 11 may be configured not to accept hired car reservation information or to process the reservation if the job seeker's profile information is not received. The receiving unit 11 may also receive the job seeker's profile information from the interviewer terminal 40 or the career advisor's terminal. If the system is configured so that the interviewer or career advisor can input the information gathered during the interview as the job seeker's profile information, the interviewer or career advisor can create the resume or work history on behalf of the job seeker, making the job search process simpler.

[0031] The reservation unit 12 is a functional unit that stores the taxi dispatch reservation information, including the boarding time and boarding location, in the job seeker information table T100 (see Figure 3(a)) stored in the job seeker information storage unit 1A.

[0032] The job seeker information table T100 stores the job seeker's profile information, as well as the time slots during which the job seeker is in a hired car. It also stores the time slots during which interviews can be conducted inside the hired car. Furthermore, if a video of a proxy interview (described later) is recorded, the video data of the proxy interview is stored in association with the job seeker's identification information.

[0033] The interview time slot calculation unit 13 is a functional unit that calculates the time spent inside the hired car as available interview time. This is because the inside of the hired car is a private space where there is no risk of being overheard by others except the driver, and the time spent inside the hired car can be used for video calls with the interviewer or recruiter.

[0034] The interview time slot calculation unit 13 calculates the disembarkation time based on the boarding location and destination. At this time, the interview time slot calculation unit 13 obtains the travel time by referring to map data on the internet, for example, and calculates the disembarkation time. Alternatively, the interview time slot calculation unit 13 may predict the congestion level of the travel route based on the boarding time and calculate the disembarkation time taking the congestion level into account. The calculated disembarkation time is stored in the job seeker information table T100.

[0035] The interview time slot calculation unit 13 calculates the available time slot for the interview, i.e., the start time and end time, based on the boarding time and the calculated alighting time. The interview time slot is the time included between the boarding time and the alighting time, and the interview time slot may be set from the boarding time to the alighting time. Alternatively, the interview time slot calculation unit 13 may set the interview time slot to, for example, the time from a predetermined time after boarding to a predetermined time before the alighting time. With this configuration, since the interview is set to be shorter than the time spent in the hired car, the scheduled interview time can be secured even if the boarding time and alighting time deviate from the schedule due to traffic conditions, etc. The calculated interview time slots are stored in the job seeker information table T100.

[0036] Furthermore, the interview time slot calculation unit 13 may recalculate the scheduled disembarkation time as needed during the interview and display it via the display control unit 14 on the vehicle terminal 30 and the terminal used for the video call, i.e., the interviewer terminal 40 or the recruiter terminal 50. This is because the disembarkation time may change due to traffic conditions. In addition, the remaining interview time may be calculated and displayed on the vehicle terminal 30 or the terminal used for the video call, or a notification that the remaining time has reached a predetermined amount may be displayed on the vehicle terminal 30 or the terminal used for the video call.

[0037] The display control unit 14 is a functional unit that displays the interview time slots of job seekers on the interviewer terminal 40 and the recruiter terminal 50. The interviewer terminal 40 and the recruiter terminal 50 can also display the job seeker's profile information stored in the job seeker information table T100. With this configuration, recruiters in particular can view the information contained in the job seeker's resume, enabling them to conduct interviews with desired personnel and conduct recruitment activities efficiently. Furthermore, this interview time slot represents disposable time created for the job seeker by dispatching a hired car T, and is time that is expected to be used for job-seeking activities. In conventional recruitment activities, interviews were often canceled due to the job seeker's current employment circumstances, but with the interview management device according to the present invention, the possibility of an interview being canceled is very low. In other words, recruiters can interview desired personnel with almost certainty.

[0038] The dispatch information storage unit 1B is a storage unit that stores information regarding the regular dispatch of hired cars to job seekers. As shown in Figure 3(b), the dispatch information storage unit 1B stores the dispatch information table T200. The dispatch information table T200 stores identification information of the vehicle terminals 30 installed in the hired cars T that are dispatched for multiple scheduled rides. With this configuration, since it stores which vehicle terminal 30 the job seeker will use while riding, the recruiter terminal 50 or interviewer terminal 40 can be reliably connected to the vehicle terminal 30 of the hired car T in which the job seeker who has booked an interview or proxy interview is riding, without any special operation.

[0039] Alternatively, instead of the above configuration, the job seeker may be linked to the vehicle terminal 30 by authenticating using the job seeker terminal 10 or entering a password known to the job seeker after boarding the hired car T. The same applies when the employer uses the terminal in the hired car T as the employer's terminal.

[0040] The interview scheduling unit 15 is a functional unit that determines the date and time of the interview with the job seeker. When the interview scheduling unit 15 receives input from the interviewer terminal 40 regarding the job seeker to be interviewed on behalf of the interviewer and the interview date and time, it determines the date and time of the interview with the interviewer and records it in the dispatch information storage unit 1B. In the example in Figure 3(b), the date and time of boarding and the interview reservation terminal ID are linked and stored in the dispatch information table T200. Here, the interview reservation terminal refers to the interviewer terminal 40 and the recruiter terminal 50, and the interview reservation terminal ID is the identification information of the interviewer terminal 40 and the recruiter terminal 50.

[0041] Furthermore, when the interview setting unit 15 receives input from the recruiter terminal 50 regarding the job seeker to be interviewed and the interview date and time, it records the interview date and time in the dispatch information storage unit 1B. In this example, a proxy interview with interviewer terminal 40 with ID I101 is scheduled for the ride on August 3, and an interview with recruiter terminal 50 with ID C101 is scheduled for the ride on August 11.

[0042] In this embodiment, the interviewer terminal 40 or the recruiter terminal 50 is configured to specify and determine the interview date and time from among the available interview times. However, the job seeker terminal 10 may also be configured to specify the interview date and time. A configuration in which the first user refers to the second user's schedule and specifies the interview date and time is useful when the second user is a service provider.

[0043] The video call unit 16 is a functional unit that connects the vehicle terminal 30 and the recruiter terminal 50 to conduct a video call at the interview date and time. It transmits the audio and video collected by the vehicle terminal 30 to the recruiter terminal 50, and transmits the audio and video collected by the recruiter terminal 50 to the vehicle terminal 30. With this configuration, job seekers can efficiently conduct job-seeking activities using their commuting time without having to go to the recruiter's company.

[0044] The interview management device 1 may also detect the location of the hired car T using a location detection means such as GNSS and calculate the estimated arrival time. The location detection means is, for example, a function installed in the vehicle terminal 30. Alternatively, the hired car T may have a location detection means, and the interview management device 1 may receive the location information detected by the hired car T.

[0045] Furthermore, the video call unit 16 connects the vehicle terminal 30 and the interviewer terminal 40 during the proxy interview date and time, and similarly allows a video call to be conducted.

[0046] The video call unit 16 includes a video playback unit 161 that plays the video of the proxy interview on the recruiter terminal 50. The video playback unit 161 shares and plays the video in real time on the recruiter terminal 50, allowing them to view a so-called live video of the proxy interview. With this configuration, general questions that could be asked during an interview through an interviewer can be shared with multiple recruiters through a single proxy interview, simplifying the interview process for both recruiters and job seekers. The video of the proxy interview includes, for example, at least audio and video collected by the vehicle terminal 30 and audio collected by the interviewer terminal 40, but may also include video of the interviewer filmed by the interviewer terminal 40.

[0047] The video playback unit 161 can simultaneously play live video of a proxy interview on multiple recruit terminals 50a to 50c. With this configuration, multiple recruiters interested in a job seeker do not need to gather in one place, allowing them to easily view the job seeker's video and obtain information about the job seeker without other companies knowing about their presence. Furthermore, the video playback unit 161 may allow the user to specify whether or not to allow playback of the proxy interview on the recruiter's terminal 50 for each proxy interview. For example, if the proxy interview is for gathering information about the job seeker's work history and skills and for preparing their resume and work history, it does not need to be made public, and may sometimes include private information or confidential information about their current job. A configuration that allows the proxy interview to be kept private from the recruiter's terminal 50 makes such highly confidential interviews possible. In this case, the proxy interview may be conducted by a career advisor different from the interviewer.

[0048] Furthermore, the video playback unit 161 may record the proxy interview and store the video data. This video data is stored in the job seeker information storage unit 1A. The video playback unit 161 plays the recorded video of the proxy interview on the recruiter terminal 50. With this configuration, even recruiters who were unable to view the proxy interview in real time can learn about the interview, thus ensuring a good matching opportunity.

[0049] The question processing unit 17 is a functional unit that receives questions for job seekers entered from the recruiter terminal 50 and transmits the questions to the interviewer terminal 40. The interviewer terminal 40 is notified of these questions by voice or text, and the interviewer shares the questions with the job seeker during the proxy interview. With this configuration, the recruiter can view the proxy interview remotely without their presence being known, and at the same time ask individual questions. The question processing unit 17 may accept questions from the recruiter terminal 50 at times other than during the proxy interview. If a question is received before the proxy interview, it may be sent to the interviewer terminal 40 in advance. In this case, the interviewer can ask the job seeker the question during the proxy interview. If a question is received after the proxy interview, the question may be displayed on the vehicle terminal 30 separately while the job seeker is in the hired car T, prompting them to answer.

[0050] The communication processing unit 18 transmits and receives various types of data via a network such as the Internet between the job seeker terminal 10, the vehicle terminal 30, the interviewer terminal 40, and the recruiter terminals 50a to 50c. Specifically, the job seeker terminal 10 receives the job seeker's profile information and dispatch reservation information. The vehicle terminal 30 also transmits and receives audio and video with the interviewer terminal 40 and the recruiter terminal 50. The interviewer terminal 40 also receives proxy interview reservations for the job seeker. The recruiter terminals 50a to 50c receive interview reservations with the job seeker, as well as questions for the job seeker. Furthermore, the exchange of data and notifications between job seekers, employers, and interviewers via the job seeker terminal 10, vehicle terminal 30, interviewer terminal 40, and employer terminals 50a to 50c can be carried out in various ways, such as through the respective personal pages of job seekers, employers, and interviewers provided on a designated website, through a dedicated application, or via email between job seekers, employers, and interviewers.

[0051] ●Screen example Figure 4 shows an example of screen G100 displayed on the recruiter's terminal 50. When the recruiter logs into this system from the recruiter's terminal 50, the job seeker's profile information is displayed along with the available interview times within Hire T. The job seekers displayed on screen G100 may be selected based on conditions entered from the recruiter's terminal 50. These conditions may include employment criteria such as the job seeker's work history, or the system may select job seekers who are available for an interview at a specific time.

[0052] Screen G100 displays, for example, a field for the applicant's face image G110, a field for the applicant's name G120, a profile field G130 that summarizes the applicant's work history, a field G140 that specifies the month in which interview times can be displayed, and a field G150 for the interview schedule within the hired car T. In the interview schedule field G150, a circle or an X mark is displayed for time slots when the hired car T is scheduled to be dispatched, and no mark is displayed for time slots when the car is not scheduled to be dispatched. In addition, the field for days when interviews can be booked displays the time slots when interviews can be booked, and an X is displayed for time slots when interview bookings have closed. For example, by selecting a day in the field for days when interviews can be booked, an interview can be booked from the recruiter's terminal 50. Screen G100 may also be viewable from the interviewer's terminal 40.

[0053] ●Processing flow [Processing flow for dispatching hired cars] Figure 5 is a sequence diagram showing one example of the process flow in which a hired car is dispatched based on a reservation made from the job seeker terminal 10. First, when the job seeker terminal 10 accepts the input of a profile, the interview management device 1 acquires it (S101). The interview management device 1 may perform the process of selecting a career advisor based on this profile information. Also, when the job seeker terminal 10 accepts the input of dispatch reservation information and the interview management device 1 acquires it (S102), the dispatch reservation information is stored in the interview management device 1 (S103). The interview management device 1 transmits the dispatch reservation information to the dispatch terminal 20 (S104). Next, the dispatch terminal 20 determines the dispatched vehicle terminal (S107) and transmits the identification information of the vehicle terminal 30 to the interview management device 1 (S108). The interview management device 1 receives the identification information of the vehicle terminal 30 and stores it (S110).

[0054] Furthermore, the interview management device 1 calculates the drop-off time according to the vehicle reservation information (S105) and stores the available interview time for the job seeker inside the hired car T (S106).

[0055] [Processing flow for proxy interviews] Next, we will explain the process by which the video call, or proxy interview, conducted between the interviewer terminal 40 and the vehicle terminal 30 is viewed from the recruiter terminal 50, and questions are received from the recruiter terminal 50. Figure 6 is a sequence diagram showing the process flow for a proxy interview conducted via video call between the vehicle terminal 30 and the interviewer terminal 40.

[0056] First, a request to view job seeker information is sent from the interviewer terminal 40 to the interview management device 1 (S201). In response to the request, the interview management device 1 sends the job seeker information to the interviewer terminal 40 (S202). The interviewer terminal 40 displays screen G100 on its display unit and accepts the selection of the job seeker to be interviewed and the interview date and time (S203). Once the job seeker and interview date and time are selected, the interview management device 1 stores the interview date and time in the job seeker's dispatch information table T200 (S204). The interview management device 1 sends a reminder notification to the job seeker's terminal 10 a predetermined time before the scheduled date and time for boarding the hired car T. The interview management device 1 may also send a reminder notification to the job seeker's terminal 10 in a different manner than when a substitute interview is scheduled, if a substitute interview is scheduled.

[0057] When the interview start time arrives, the interview management device 1 refers to the dispatch information table T200 and sends a video call start command to the vehicle terminal 30 and interviewer terminal 40 associated with the job applicant ID (S205). Subsequently, video call transmission and reception begin between the vehicle terminal 30 and the interviewer terminal 40 (S206, S207).

[0058] When a request to view a video call is sent from the recruiter terminal 50 (S208), the interview management device 1 shares the video call of the proxy interview with the recruiter terminal 50 (S209), and the audio and video of the proxy interview become viewable on the display of the recruiter terminal 50 (S210). Note that the request to view the proxy interview from the recruiter terminal 50 can be sent even during the video call of the proxy interview, or before the date and time of the proxy interview. Also, if a question is sent from the recruiter terminal 50 during or before viewing (S211), it is sent to the interviewer terminal 40 via the interview management device 1 (S212). On the interviewer terminal 40, this question is displayed on the screen or elsewhere. The interviewer asks this question to the job seeker at an appropriate time during the proxy interview.

[0059] Although the example in the figure shows one recruit terminal 50, the configuration may allow multiple recruit terminals to simultaneously view the proxy interview.

[0060] [Processing flow for interviews with successful candidates] Figure 7 is a sequence diagram showing the process flow for conducting a video call interview between the vehicle terminal 30 and the applicant terminal 50 during the interview-available time inside the hire car T. First, a request to view job seeker information is sent from the recruiter terminal 50 to the interview management device 1 (S301). The interview management device 1 sends the job seeker information to the recruiter terminal 50 in response to the request (S302). The recruiter terminal 50 displays screen G100 on its display unit and accepts the selection of the job seeker to be interviewed and the interview date and time (S303). Once the job seeker and interview date and time are selected, the interview management device 1 stores the interview date and time in the dispatch information table T200 for that job seeker (S304). Furthermore, when the interview management device 1 sends a reminder notification to the job seeker terminal 10 a predetermined time before the scheduled date and time of the reservation to ride in the hired car T, if an interview with the recruiter terminal 50 is scheduled, the reminder notification may be sent to the job seeker terminal 10 in a different manner than when an interview is not scheduled.

[0061] When the interview start time arrives, the interview management device 1 refers to the dispatch information table T200 and sends a video call start command to the vehicle terminal 30 and the recruiter terminal 50 associated with the job applicant ID (S305). Subsequently, video call transmission and reception begin between the vehicle terminal 30 and the recruiter terminal 50 (S306, S307).

[0062] According to the interview management system based on the embodiments of the present invention described above, travel time can be utilized.

[0063] In the interview management system according to this embodiment, the functional configuration of each terminal or device is merely an example, and the functional units shown in this example can be provided in terminals or devices other than those shown in this example.
