Here are three available registration invitation codes "AAAcode" Examples include "BBBcode" and "CCCcode". Also, in List 618, The registration invitation code is displayed with a hashtag (#), but the display format is limited to this. It does not have to be this way; other forms of display are also acceptable.

[0073] Figure 7 shows the U displayed on user terminal 200b held by user B, who is the invited party. I shows an example of screen configuration. Figure 7(a) shows, for example, a configuration installed on user terminal 200b. This shows an example of the configuration of the SNS screen 700 using the SNS application 222. The SNS screen 700 is an example For example, it is shown in step S409 of Figure 4. Here, as shown in destination 701 In Figure 6(b), user A is designated as the communication partner on the social networking service. Similar to NS screen 610, enter the desired message in message input area 703 and post. When button 704 is pressed, the posted content will be displayed in the message display area 702. .

[0074] In this example, as shown in Figure 6(b), user A entered the string "https: / A message containing " / AAAAA.bbbb / ccccccccccccccc" has been posted. And it is displayed in message display area 702 as message 705. Furthermore, The SNS app 222 on terminal 200b will find the destination indicated by the URL in message 705. By referring to the information on the registration screen, the OGP description on that registration screen is displayed. The information is displayed as display item 706. Here, display item 706 contains the information from the registration screen. Thumbnail image 707 and a list of available registration invitation codes 708 are displayed. The display method here is the same as in Figure 6(b).

[0075] Figure 7(b) shows an example configuration of the registration screen 710 for registering a new user. "https: / / AAAAA.bbbb / ccccccccccccccc" indicates It is displayed by accessing the URL. Registration screen 710 is, for example, a screen that user B owns It may be displayed via a web browser (not shown) installed on the user terminal 200b. The registration screen 710 is displayed, for example, in step S413 of Figure 4.

[0076] The registration screen 710 displays various information when a user registers for the job support service according to this embodiment. Multiple input areas are provided for entering information. The information entered during user registration is particularly important. While not limiting, examples include invitation code, inviter's name, name, account number, and job requirements. It may include the following. Input area 711 is displayed on the SNS screen 700 in Figure 7(a). You can enter the available registration invitation code shown in list 708. For example, user B can refer to SNS screen 700 to check available registration invitation codes. Then, enter it in input area 711 on the registration screen 710. Also, the registration invitation code is from the inviter. Because it is linked to the user, for example, if you enter the registration invitation code in input area 711 Depending on the circumstances, the inviter's information may be automatically displayed in input area 712. User B enters information such as their name in input area 713, etc. After entering the information, the new registration button... By pressing button 714, the registration process is performed on the server device 100. If the cancel button 715 is pressed, the input is discarded and registration is interrupted.

[0077] In this embodiment, the user invitation procedure using an invitation code is advantageous This makes it possible to improve convenience. In particular, user registration for a designated service via SNS When a registration invitation is sent, the invited user can easily check the available invitation code. This makes it possible to perform the input process related to invitations more smoothly.

[0078] [Differentiation] The above embodiment assumes a case where a user is newly registered for a predetermined service. This was explained. The features of the present invention can also be applied to other situations using invitation codes. Therefore, as a modified example of this embodiment, in a job support service, a job posting from a certain recruiting company Next, we will explain variations that can be applied when inviting job applicants. For example, one job posting Examples include situations where multiple users apply simultaneously.

[0079] The system configuration is the same as that described using Figures 1 to 3, so it is omitted here. Furthermore, this modified example and the first embodiment described above are not mutually exclusive, and both are of the same system. It may be implemented in Mu.

[0080] [Processing Sequence] In this variation, between user A and user B who are using the job search support service, This example illustrates a scenario where user A invites user B to a job posting. It also shows user A and user B. They each use social networking services (SNS), and can communicate via the SNS app 222. Let's assume that this is the case. Note that the job search support app 221 allows registered users to communicate with each other. It may be acceptable to provide communication functions that enable interaction. In this case, SNS Instead of using app 222, use the communication function provided by job search support app 221. Then, the sequence described later may be executed. In this modified example, user A is user terminal 20 This explanation assumes that user 0a is owned by user terminal 200b.

[0081] Furthermore, in the job support service related to this modified example, User A uses an invitation code to connect with User B Invite User A and User B. User B can enter the invitation code when applying for a job. / or User B is given an incentive. Here, it is used in the job application process. Since this is intended to be an invitation code, it will also be written as "job invitation code".

[0082] For example, the server device 100 receives information from recruiting companies via the job support application 221. The job postings are presented to each user in a list format, etc. Then, User A can select from the presented multiple After identifying the job postings that match the desired job conditions from among the many available, When you perform an application-related operation using the job search support app 221, the following processing sequence will be executed. You may do so. However, regarding the job postings you are applying for, if User A, the inviter, has already applied... This may occur during working hours, and both User A and the invited User B must respond simultaneously. It would also be acceptable if we were recruiting.

[0083] In step S801, the user terminal 200a, based on user instructions, displays the desired job information. We accept job invitation requests in response to the notification. An example screen for accepting job invitation requests is provided below. Therefore, the screen may be equivalent to the registration invitation screen 600 shown in Figure 6(a).

[0084] In step S802, user terminal 200a receives the job posting received in step S801. Based on the invitation instructions, a job invitation request is sent to the server device 100. The invitation request may include identification information to uniquely identify user A.

[0085] In step S803, the server device 100 receives a job invitation request from user terminal 200a. It receives. Furthermore, the server device 100 uses the information contained in the received job invitation request to... Then, identify user A, the sender.

[0086] In step S804, the server device 100 sends a new job invitation code to user A. A code will be issued. Please note that job invitation codes have expiration dates, usage limits, and issuance limits. It is acceptable to do so. Also, if there is a job invitation code already issued associated with user A, that If available, you may use it.

[0087] In step S805, the server device 100 receives a request that includes a display description indicating a job invitation code. Generates a user-facing screen (not shown). The display description in this modified example also uses OGP (Op This uses the Graph Protocol. In this modified example, a job posting is sent to user B. To encourage applications, a message containing the URL of the job posting page was posted on social media. When a job posting is submitted, the screen should display information about the job invitation code that can be entered on that job posting screen. Generate.

[0088] In step S806, the server device 100 displays the job posting screen generated in step S805. The URL is sent to user terminal 200a.

[0089] In step S807, user terminal 200a receives the URL for the job posting screen from server device 100. Retrieve L and present it to user A. An example of the display screen is shown in Figure 6(a) for registration invitation. It can be equivalent to the standby screen 600.

[0090] In step S808, user terminal 200a receives the URL obtained in step S807. Post a message containing this to social media. To post to social media, launch the social media app 222. It is done by specifying the recipient. There are no particular restrictions on the content of the posted message. The message must contain at least the above URL. The recipient of the post is not limited to one person; it can be sent to multiple people simultaneously, or multiple people. You may send it to a group to which a person belongs.

[0091] In step S809, user terminal 200b, based on user B's instructions, applies the SNS app Display the message posted by user A via RI222. As mentioned above, When a message is displayed via the SNS app 222, the UR contained in the message The thumbnail of the job posting screen indicated by L and the OGP included in that job posting screen are shown. A job invitation code will be displayed. An example of the display screen is shown in Figure 7(a), SNS screen 700. It may be the same as that.

[0092] In step S810, the user terminal 200b, based on user instructions, uses the SNS application 2 By accessing the URL shown in 22 using a browser (not shown), you can view the job postings. Request to display the surface.

[0093] In step S811, the server device 100 accesses the job posting screen from the user terminal 200b. Receives an access request.

[0094] In step S812, the server device 100 responds to the access request in step S811. Accordingly, the corresponding job posting screen is provided to the user terminal 200b.

[0095] In step S813, user terminal 200b receives job offers from server device 100. The screen is displayed in a browser (not shown), etc. Furthermore, user terminal 200b controls user B's operation Based on the instructions, the application information is accepted for the job posting screen. At this time, User B, In step S809, view the available job invitation code displayed on the SNS app 222. It is possible to confirm this and enter the information into the job posting screen.

[0096] In step S814, the user terminal 200b receives the user input in step S813. The application information for The B is sent to server device 100.

[0097] In step S815, the server device 100 receives the application sent from the user terminal 200b. Based on the information, the system processes User B's application for the desired job. Details of this process are shown in Figure 9. This will be explained in detail using [the provided text]. After that, the server device 100 proceeds to step S816.

[0098] In step S816, the server device 100 processes the application results from step S815. Notifications will be sent to both terminals 200a and 200b.

[0099] In step S817, the user terminal 200b is connected to the server device 10 in step S816. Information received from 0 will be displayed. This display is done via the job search support app 221. You may do so.

[0100] In step S818, the user terminal 200a is connected to the server device 10 in step S816. Information received from 0 will be displayed. This display is done via the job search support app 221. You may do so.

[0107] In step S906, the server device 100 receives the job invitation code specified in the application information. The job invitation code will be invalidated due to its use. If the configuration allows for multiple uses, the number of uses may be reduced by one. Also, in this example... While the system invalidates job invitation codes upon hiring and review, this is limited to this. It is not that. For example, the job invitation code entered is used regardless of whether the job application was accepted or rejected. You may disable the "Do" function.

[0108] In step S907, the server device 100, upon use of the job invitation code, This updates the display description on the job posting screen where the applicant information is entered, i.e., the OGP description. In other words, when a string containing the URL of the application screen is posted on social media, the used job invitation will be flagged. Update the job posting screen so that it is possible to identify that the waiting code is invalid. You can rewrite the OGP description so that unused job invitation codes are hidden, or You may rewrite it to clearly indicate that it is no longer needed.

[0109] In step S908, the server device 100 is activated in response to user B being hired for the job. Then, derive the incentives for the inviting user A and / or the invited user B. The content of the incentive may differ between the invited party and the inviter, or the same. They may be given to either one or the other. Incentive details This may be predetermined, or a specific calculation formula or condition may be defined and switched accordingly. It may be done. Also, in this modified version, an incentive is given if it is adopted. The structure is such that even if you are not selected, some kind of incentive will be given. The configuration is also acceptable.

[0110] In step S909, the server device 100 receives the incentive derived in step S908. Register the trait in association with the user information to which it will be granted.

[0111] In step S910, the server device 100 sends a message to user B, who is the inviter, to user A. It generates notification information to inform user A that they have applied for a job. If an incentive is to be given, the incentive derived in step S908 You may also notify us of the information regarding B. Additionally, you may also notify us of the results of the screening process for User B regarding the job posting. That's good too.

[0112] In step S911, the server device 100 responds to user B, who is the invited party. Generate notification information to inform user B of the results of the fundraising.
