Consideration measures evaluation device, consideration measures evaluation program, consideration measures evaluation method

Abstract

To solve the problems that an organization or the like does not know how to consider nor what kind of consideration brings about rational consideration and that it further has no idea of a criterion for determining whether rational consideration is sufficiently performed at all even though the organization or the like for accepting social minorities due to the execution of a handicapped person discrimination elimination law.SOLUTION: A device or the like stores consideration measure evaluation data obtained by associating consideration measures to people of minorities (handicapped persons, the elderly, foreigners) with an evaluation on the consideration measures. It acquires the evaluations of a consideration measure to be executed on the basis of inputted consideration measures and the consideration measure evaluation data, and displays them on a display monitor or the like when the consideration measures to be executed to people of a minority are inputted. Further, it can perform detailed evaluations by evaluating specific consideration measures (first consideration measures) higher than the other consideration measures (second consideration measures).SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a device for improving consideration measures for people called social minorities, such as the disabled, foreigners, and the elderly. [Background technology]

[0002] With the enforcement of the Act on the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities, organizations, facilities, and companies that accept persons with disabilities are now required to provide reasonable accommodation to persons with disabilities.

[0003] Furthermore, in order to realize an inclusive society, regardless of the existence of such laws, it is of course necessary to take various considerations into account for minorities known as social minorities (such as people with disabilities, the elderly, and foreigners). [Prior art documents] [Non-patent literature]

[0004] Because no mechanism for assessing reasonable accommodation has been proposed to date, no prior art references can be cited. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, because social minorities often each have their own special circumstances, the current situation is that it is unclear what kind of consideration organizations, facilities, and companies that accept social minorities should make, or what kind of consideration would constitute reasonable consideration. In addition, the current situation is that it is completely unclear what criteria should be used to determine whether or not sufficient reasonable accommodation has been provided. Therefore, the present invention provides organizations, facilities, companies, etc. that accept social minorities with a device that evaluates what kind of consideration is appropriate and what kind of consideration measures would constitute reasonable consideration (whether they meet certain standards that would be recognized as providing reasonable consideration). [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an apparatus including the following means, a program that causes a computer to function as the following means, and a method in which a computer performs the following steps. (1) a consideration measure evaluation data acquisition means for acquiring consideration measure evaluation data that associates consideration measures for consideration recipients with evaluations of the consideration measures; A consideration measure acquisition means for acquiring the consideration measures for the consideration recipient; an evaluation generating means for generating an evaluation of the consideration measure acquired by the consideration measure acquiring means, based on the consideration measure acquired by the consideration measure acquiring means and the consideration measure evaluation data acquired by the consideration measure data acquiring means; evaluation output means for outputting the evaluation generated by the evaluation generating means; (2) The persons in need of consideration include persons with disabilities, the elderly, or foreigners. (3) The above-mentioned considerations include making facilities and equipment barrier-free. (4) The recipients of such consideration include persons with disabilities, and the evaluation of the consideration measures varies depending on the type of disability that the persons with disabilities have. (5) The consideration measures include a first consideration measure and a second consideration measure, and the evaluation of the first consideration measure is to be higher than the evaluation of the second consideration measure. (6) The above evaluation will vary depending on whether or not emergency consideration measures are required in the event of an emergency. (7) The first consideration measures are emergency consideration measures that are required in an emergency, and the second consideration measures are peacetime consideration measures that are required in peacetime. (8) The above evaluation will vary depending on whether or not consideration is given to physiological phenomena. (9) The first consideration measures are consideration measures required for physiological phenomena, and the second consideration measures are consideration measures required for non-physiological phenomena. (10) The above evaluation will vary depending on whether or not special considerations are required for excretory activities. (11) The first consideration is a consideration required for excretory acts, and the second consideration is a consideration required for non-excretory acts. (12) The above evaluation will vary depending on whether or not special considerations are made for eating and drinking. (13) The first consideration is the consideration required for eating and drinking activities, and the second consideration is the consideration required for other activities than eating and drinking. (14) The above evaluation varies depending on whether voice guidance or Braille display is provided. (15) The first consideration is audio guidance, and the second consideration is Braille display. (16) The above evaluation may vary depending on whether or not written information is provided or whether or not a sign language interpreter is provided. (17) The first accommodation measure is the provision of written information, and the second accommodation measure is the provision of a sign language interpreter. (18) The above evaluation varies depending on whether or not there are certified accommodation measures approved by a specialized institution or expert. (19) The first type of consideration measure is a certified consideration measure certified by a specialized institution or expert, and the second type of consideration measure is a non-certified consideration measure that is not certified by a specialized institution or expert. (20) The above evaluation will vary depending on whether or not automated equipment is provided. (21) The first consideration is the provision of an automated device, and the second consideration is the provision of a non-automated device. (22) The automated equipment includes an automatically opening and closing door, or an automatically locking door, or an elevator, or an automatically moving up and down chair, or an automatically moving up and down desk. (23) The evaluation will vary depending on whether or not there are considerations given to the person receiving the consideration, such as a choice of procedures or items. (24) The first consideration measure is a selective consideration measure that gives the person receiving the consideration a choice, and the second consideration measure is a non-selective consideration measure in which the person receiving the consideration has no choice. (25) The above-mentioned selective accommodation measures include the choice of means of communication, or the choice of furniture, or the choice of office equipment, or the choice of office supplies including stationery, or the choice of means of payment. (26) The evaluation will vary depending on whether or not training is provided to employees or staff who accept the person in need of consideration to help them understand the person in need of consideration. (27) The first consideration measure is the implementation of training for employees or staff who accept the person in need of consideration to promote their understanding of the person in need of consideration, and the second consideration measure is the non-implementation of the training. (28) The above rating varies depending on whether or not consideration is given to allowing for the adjustment of lighting fixtures. (29) The first consideration is a consideration that allows the adjustment of a lighting fixture, and the second consideration is a consideration that does not allow the adjustment of the lighting fixture. (30) The evaluation may vary depending on the number or variety of the accommodation measures. Effect of the Invention

[0007] By utilizing this invention, organizations and facilities that accept social minorities and companies that employ minority employees can receive an evaluation of the consideration measures they implement and know whether they are taking sufficient consideration. In addition, by giving a higher rating to certain consideration measures (first consideration measures) than to other consideration measures (second consideration measures), it becomes possible to make a more detailed and appropriate evaluation.

[0009] A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. First, an example of the hardware configuration used in this embodiment will be described. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a hardware configuration of the present invention. The present invention comprises a consideration management server 1 (computer) which processes consideration measures, and a provider terminal 2 (computer) which is used by personnel at the party providing the consideration measures (organizations and facilities that accept social minorities, companies that employ minority employees, etc.), and each device (consideration management server 1, provider terminal 2) is connected so as to be able to send and receive information via communication means such as the Internet 3.

[0010] Each device stores a computer program (application software) and specified data for implementing the present invention, and a processing device built into each device performs the specified processing in accordance with the processing instructions of the computer program.

[0011] Next, each processing step of this embodiment will be described. In this embodiment, consideration measures input processing (STEP 1), evaluation score calculation processing (STEP 2), and evaluation score output processing (STEP 3) are performed. The consideration measures input process (STEP 1) is a process in which, for example, a person in charge at a company that employs disabled people inputs the consideration measures that the company takes for disabled people (those requiring consideration). The evaluation score calculation process (STEP 2) is a process in which the consideration management server 1 receives the data input in STEP 1 and generates / creates an evaluation score for the consideration measure. The evaluation point output process (STEP 3 ) is a process for transmitting and displaying the evaluation point calculated in STEP 2 to the provider terminal 2 .

[0012] Next, we will explain the input screens (input methods) used in each process, the data processing methods, and the data stored in each device. Note that we will explain the case where a person in charge at a company that employs disabled people inputs the consideration measures that the company has implemented and receives an evaluation.

[0013] (Evaluation of Barrier-Free Measures in Emergencies) FIG. 3 is a first example of the consideration measure input process (STEP 1) and the evaluation point calculation process (STEP 2), and shows the first consideration measure input screen, the first consideration measure input data, the first evaluation database, and the first evaluation point.

[0014] (Consideration measures input processing) The first accommodation measures input screen is an information input screen used when inputting, from the provider terminal 2, the accommodation measures being taken (or the accommodation measures to be taken) for the employed disabled person. The provider terminal 2 accesses the consideration management server 1 to acquire the first consideration action input screen (data constituting the input screen), and displays the input screen on a display monitor that the provider terminal 2 has. The first consideration measures input screen allows users to input whether or not a ramp has been installed for wheelchair users (making the facility barrier-free), and if so, whether or not the ramp is installed on a route that leads to an evacuation shelter in the event of a disaster (in this case, an "exit"), and further, whether or not the ramp is installed on a route that does not lead to an evacuation shelter (in this case, a general location such as a "smoking room"). If the company has installed ramps on routes to evacuation shelters and in common locations such as smoking rooms, the person in charge would enter information indicating that they have installed ramps in both locations (here, by checking the three checkboxes) and click the submit button.

[0015] As a result, the provider terminal 2 generates the first consideration measure input data and transmits it to the consideration management server 1.

[0016] (Evaluation point calculation process) The consideration management server 1 that receives the first consideration measure input data stores it in a storage device (consideration measure acquisition means). The first evaluation database is stored in the storage device of the consideration management server 1. This is the data that serves as the basis for evaluating the consideration measures adopted by companies, and associates (links) each consideration measure for the consideration recipient with its corresponding score (evaluation that is an element of the final judgment evaluation: evaluation element), and the consideration management server 1 acquires this through a predetermined process (accommodation measure evaluation data acquisition means). The consideration management server 1 searches and extracts each score (a score consisting of a base score and an additional score) based on the received first consideration input data. That is, since "Ramp installation: Yes" is selected, the corresponding "Base score: 10" is extracted; since "Ramp installation at exit: Yes" is selected, the corresponding "Additional score: 5" is extracted; and since "Ramp installation at smoking room: Yes" is selected, the corresponding "Additional score: 0" is extracted.

[0017] Next, the consideration management server 1 adds up the searched and extracted scores, and generates and creates "first evaluation score: 15" (evaluation generating means).

[0018] This will enable the consideration measures adopted by companies and other entities to be properly evaluated and appropriate consideration to be given to minority groups. In this example, a distinction is made between emergency measures (first consideration measures) that are necessary in emergencies, including disasters, and peacetime measures (second consideration measures) that are necessary in non-emergencies, i.e., peacetime, and emergency measures are given a higher evaluation score than peacetime measures (if the first consideration measures are adopted, points are added to give a higher evaluation). This allows appropriate consideration to be given to minority groups, such as appropriate evacuation and rescue, even when they face a life-threatening situation.

[0019] (Evaluation of barrier-free measures for excretory disposal in toilets, etc.) FIG. 4 is a second example of the consideration measures input process (STEP 1) and the evaluation point calculation process (STEP 2), and shows the second consideration measures input screen, the second consideration measures input data, the second evaluation database, and the second evaluation point.

[0020] (Consideration measures input processing) The second accommodation measures input screen is an information input screen used when inputting, from the provider terminal 2, the accommodation measures being taken (or the accommodation measures to be taken) for the employed disabled person. The provider terminal 2 accesses the consideration management server 1 to acquire the second consideration measure input screen (data constituting the input screen), and displays the input screen on a display monitor that the provider terminal 2 has. The second consideration measures input screen allows users to input whether or not handrails have been installed for people with disabilities that make it difficult for them to walk, whether or not the handrails have been installed in toilets (locations necessary for physiological phenomena such as excretion), and further, whether or not they have been installed in locations unrelated to physiological phenomena or excretion (for example, general locations such as conference rooms). If the company has installed handrails in restrooms and common places such as conference rooms, the person in charge enters information indicating that they have been installed in both places (here, by checking the three checkboxes) and clicks the submit button.

[0021] As a result, the provider terminal 2 generates the second consideration measure input data and transmits it to the consideration management server 1.

[0022] (Evaluation point calculation process) The consideration management server 1 that receives the second consideration measure input data stores it in a storage device. The second evaluation database is stored in the storage device of the consideration management server 1. This is the data that serves as the basis for evaluating the consideration measures adopted by companies, and associates (links) each consideration measure with a corresponding score. The consideration management server 1 searches and extracts each score (a score consisting of a base score and an additional score) based on the received second consideration input data (this process is the same as in the case of calculating the first evaluation score).

[0023] Next, the consideration management server 1 adds up the searched and extracted scores to generate and create "second evaluation score: 16."

[0024] This will enable the consideration measures adopted by companies and other entities to be properly evaluated and appropriate consideration to be given to minority groups. In this example, a distinction is made between measures necessary for physiological phenomena, including excretion (first consideration measures) and other measures (second consideration measures), and measures for physiological phenomena, including excretion, are given a higher evaluation point than other consideration measures (if the first consideration measures are adopted, points are added to give a higher evaluation). For minority groups, disposing of excrement and excretion are particularly difficult and delicate issues. Therefore, it is necessary to improve measures for physiological phenomena, including excretion, and this can be achieved by doing the above, which will encourage appropriate consideration.

[0025] (Evaluation of barrier-free measures for eating and drinking) Figure 5 is a third example of the consideration measure input process (STEP 1) and evaluation point calculation process (STEP 2), and shows the third consideration measure input screen, the third consideration measure input data, the third evaluation database, and the third evaluation point.

[0026] (Consideration measures input processing) The third accommodation measures input screen is an information input screen used when inputting, from the provider terminal 2, the accommodation measures being taken (or the accommodation measures to be taken) for the employed disabled person. The provider terminal 2 accesses the consideration management server 1 to acquire the third consideration measure input screen (data constituting the input screen), and displays the input screen on a display monitor that the provider terminal 2 has. The third consideration measures input screen allows users to input whether or not handrails have been installed for people with leg or back disabilities who have difficulty walking, whether or not the handrails have been installed in the cafeteria (places where they are necessary for eating and drinking), and whether or not they have been installed in places where there is no eating or drinking (places that are basically unrelated to eating and drinking, such as general places like conference rooms). If the company has installed handrails in the cafeteria and in common places such as conference rooms, the person in charge enters information indicating that they are installed in both places (here, check the three checkboxes) and clicks the send button.

[0027] As a result, the provider terminal 2 generates the third consideration measure input data and transmits it to the consideration management server 1.

[0028] (Evaluation point calculation process) The consideration management server 1 that receives the third consideration measure input data stores it in a storage device. The third evaluation database is stored in the storage device of the consideration management server 1. This is the basic data for evaluating the consideration measures adopted by companies, and associates (links) each consideration measure with a corresponding score. The consideration management server 1 searches and extracts each score (a score consisting of a base score and an additional score) based on the received third consideration input data (this process is the same as in the case of calculating the first evaluation score).

[0029] Next, the consideration management server 1 adds up the searched and extracted scores to generate and create "Third evaluation score: 16."

[0030] This will enable the consideration measures adopted by companies and other entities to be properly evaluated and appropriate consideration to be given to minority groups. In this example, a distinction is made between necessary measures for eating and drinking (first consideration measures) and other measures (second consideration measures), and measures for eating and drinking are given a higher evaluation score than other consideration measures (if the first consideration measures are adopted, points are added and a higher evaluation is given). For minority groups, there are cases where they have food allergies or need to eat regularly in order to take certain medicines after meals, and eating and drinking are particularly important and delicate issues. Therefore, it is necessary to enhance consideration for eating and drinking, and this can be achieved and appropriate consideration can be promoted.

[0031] (Evaluation of barrier-free access for visually impaired people) Figure 6 is a fourth example of the consideration measure input process (STEP 1) and evaluation point calculation process (STEP 2), and shows the fourth consideration measure input screen, the fourth consideration measure input data, the fourth evaluation database, and the fourth evaluation point.

[0032] (Consideration measures input processing) The fourth consideration measure input screen is an information input screen used when inputting, from the provider terminal 2, consideration measures being taken (or consideration measures to be taken) for employed disabled persons. The provider terminal 2 accesses the consideration management server 1 to acquire the fourth consideration measure input screen (data constituting the input screen), and displays the input screen on a display monitor that the provider terminal 2 has. The fourth consideration measures input screen is used to input whether or not barrier-free guidance is provided as a consideration for visually impaired people, whether the barrier-free guidance is audio guidance, and whether the guidance is displayed in Braille. If the company provides both audio guidance and Braille displays, the person in charge enters information indicating that both are installed (here, he checks the three checkboxes) and clicks the send button.

[0033] As a result, the provider terminal 2 generates the fourth consideration measure input data and transmits it to the consideration management server 1.

[0034] (Evaluation point calculation process) The consideration management server 1 that receives the fourth consideration measure input data stores it in a storage device. The fourth evaluation database is stored in the storage device of the consideration management server 1. This is the basic data for evaluating the consideration measures adopted by companies, and associates (links) each consideration measure with a corresponding score. The consideration management server 1 searches and extracts each score (a score consisting of a base score and an additional score) based on the received fourth consideration input data (this process is the same as in the case of calculating the first evaluation score).

[0035] Next, the consideration management server 1 adds up the searched and extracted scores to generate and create "fourth evaluation score: 19."

[0036] This will enable the consideration measures adopted by companies and other entities to be properly evaluated and appropriate consideration to be given to minority groups. Also, in this example, a distinction is made between providing audio guidance (first consideration) and providing Braille displays (second consideration) as considerations for visually impaired people, with audio guidance being given a higher evaluation point than Braille displays (if the first consideration is adopted, points are added to give a higher evaluation). Since there are few visually impaired people who can understand Braille (some survey results show that only 10% of visually impaired people can), it is necessary to emphasize and promote audio guidance as a consideration for visually impaired people. Therefore, in this way, it is possible to promote appropriate consideration for visually impaired people.

[0037] (Evaluation of barrier-free access for the hearing impaired) Figure 7 is a fifth example of the consideration measure input process (STEP 1) and evaluation point calculation process (STEP 2), and shows the fifth consideration measure input screen, the fifth consideration measure input data, the fifth evaluation database, and the fifth evaluation point.

[0038] (Consideration measures input processing) The fifth consideration measure input screen is an information input screen used when inputting, from the provider terminal 2, consideration measures being taken (or consideration measures to be taken) for employed disabled persons. The provider terminal 2 accesses the consideration management server 1 to acquire the fifth consideration measure input screen (data constituting the input screen), and displays the input screen on a display monitor that the provider terminal 2 has. The fifth consideration measures input screen allows users to input whether or not barrier-free consultation sessions are offered as a consideration for the hearing impaired, whether writing tools are provided at those consultation sessions (provision of written information), and whether sign language interpretation is provided at those consultation sessions. If the company provides both writing aids and sign language interpreters, the person in charge enters information indicating that they have both (here, they check the three checkboxes) and clicks the send button.

[0039] As a result, the provider terminal 2 generates the fifth consideration measure input data and transmits it to the consideration management server 1.

[0040] (Evaluation point calculation process) The consideration management server 1 that receives the fifth consideration measure input data stores it in a storage device. The fifth evaluation database is stored in the storage device of the consideration management server 1. This is the basic data for evaluating the consideration measures adopted by companies, and associates (links) each consideration measure with a corresponding score. The consideration management server 1 searches and extracts each score (a score consisting of a base score and an additional score) based on the received fifth consideration input data (note that this process is the same as in the case of calculating the first evaluation score).

[0041] Next, the consideration management server 1 sums up the searched and extracted scores to generate and create "5th evaluation score: 20."

[0042] This will enable the consideration measures adopted by companies and other entities to be properly evaluated and appropriate consideration to be given to minority groups. Also, in this example, a distinction is made between the provision of writing equipment (first consideration measure) and the provision of sign language interpretation (second consideration measure) as considerations for the hearing impaired, with the provision of writing equipment being given a higher evaluation point than the provision of sign language interpretation (if the first consideration measure is adopted, points are added and a higher evaluation is given). Since few hearing impaired people can understand sign language interpretation (some survey results show that only 20% of hearing impaired people understand sign language interpretation), it is necessary to emphasize and promote writing equipment as a consideration for the hearing impaired. Therefore, in this way, it is possible to promote appropriate consideration for the hearing impaired. Note that, although the provision of writing tools is used here as an example of "provision of text information," it is not limited to the provision of writing tools and may also include adding subtitles to videos or images.

[0043] (Evaluation of Barrier-Free Facilities) Figure 8 is a sixth example of the consideration measure input process (STEP 1) and evaluation point calculation process (STEP 2), and shows the sixth consideration measure input screen, the sixth consideration measure input data, the sixth evaluation database, and the sixth evaluation point.

[0044] (Consideration measures input processing) The sixth consideration measures input screen is an information input screen used when inputting, from the provider terminal 2, consideration measures being taken (or consideration measures to be taken) for employed disabled persons. The provider terminal 2 accesses the consideration management server 1 to acquire the sixth consideration measure input screen (data constituting the input screen), and displays the input screen on a display monitor that the provider terminal 2 has. The sixth consideration measures input screen is used to input whether or not a simple ramp is provided, and if so, whether the simple ramp is certified by a specialized institution or expert, or whether it is an uncertified ramp. Let's say the company provides certified ramps. In that case, the person in charge enters information indicating "Providing simple ramps" and "Providing ramps certified by experts" (here, he checks the corresponding two checkboxes) and clicks the submit button.

[0045] As a result, the provider terminal 2 generates the sixth consideration measure input data and transmits it to the consideration management server 1.

[0046] (Evaluation point calculation process) The consideration management server 1 that receives the sixth consideration measure input data stores it in a storage device. The sixth evaluation database is stored in the storage device of the consideration management server 1. This is the basic data for evaluating the consideration measures adopted by companies, and associates (links) each consideration measure with a corresponding score. The consideration management server 1 searches for and extracts each score (a score consisting of a base score and an additional score) based on the received sixth consideration input data (note that this process is the same as in the case of calculating the first evaluation score).

[0047] Next, the consideration management server 1 adds up the searched and extracted scores to generate and create "6th evaluation score: 19."

[0048] This will enable the consideration measures adopted by companies and other entities to be properly evaluated and appropriate consideration to be given to minority groups. In this example, a distinction is made between the provision of simple ramps (barrier-free equipment) certified by specialized institutions or experts (first consideration measure) and the provision of uncertified simple ramps (second consideration measure), and certified simple ramps are given a higher evaluation point than uncertified simple ramps (if the first consideration measure is adopted, points are added and a higher evaluation is given). Some wheelchairs, such as electric wheelchairs, are very heavy, and using a simple ramp with weak strength can cause the ramp to break and lead to an accident. In other words, if someone who is not familiar with barrier-free design carelessly installs a simple ramp, it can be very dangerous. Therefore, it is necessary to emphasize and promote the use of barrier-free equipment (simple ramps, etc.) certified by specialized institutions or experts. This will promote appropriate consideration.

[0049] (Evaluation of automated equipment) Figure 9 is a seventh example of the consideration measure input process (STEP 1) and the evaluation point calculation process (STEP 2), and shows the seventh consideration measure input screen, the seventh consideration measure input data, the seventh evaluation database, and the seventh evaluation point.

[0050] (Consideration measures input processing) The seventh consideration measure input screen is an information input screen used when inputting, from the provider terminal 2, consideration measures being taken (or consideration measures to be taken) for employed disabled persons. The provider terminal 2 accesses the consideration management server 1 to acquire the seventh consideration measure input screen (data constituting the input screen), and displays the input screen on a display monitor that the provider terminal 2 has. The seventh consideration measure input screen is used to input whether or not a barrier-free office is provided, and if so, whether or not the office is equipped with an automatic door (an automated device) or a manual door. Let's say the company has installed automatic doors. In that case, the person in charge enters information indicating "Providing a barrier-free office" and "Installing automatic doors" (here, he checks the two corresponding checkboxes) and clicks the send button.

[0051] As a result, the provider terminal 2 generates the seventh consideration measure input data and transmits it to the consideration management server 1.

[0052] (Evaluation point calculation process) The consideration management server 1 that receives the seventh consideration measure input data stores it in a storage device. The seventh evaluation database is stored in the storage device of the consideration management server 1. This is the basic data for evaluating the consideration measures adopted by companies, and associates (links) each consideration measure with a corresponding score. The consideration management server 1 searches and extracts each score (a score consisting of a base score and an additional score) based on the received seventh consideration input data (note that this process is similar to the case of calculating the first evaluation score).

[0053] Next, the consideration management server 1 adds up the searched and extracted scores to generate and create "7th evaluation score: 15."

[0054] This will enable the consideration measures adopted by companies and other entities to be properly evaluated and appropriate consideration to be given to minority groups. Also, in this example, a distinction is made between the installation of automatic doors (first consideration measure) and the installation of manual doors (second consideration measure), with the installation of automatic doors being given a higher evaluation point than the installation of manual doors (if the first consideration measure is adopted, points are added to give a higher evaluation). It can be difficult for people with disabilities to open and close doors manually. Therefore, it is necessary to emphasize and promote the installation of automatic doors. This will therefore encourage appropriate consideration. In this example, an "automatic door (automatic opening and closing door)" has been used as an example of an "automated device," but the invention is not limited to this. Automated devices may include automatically locking doors, elevators, and chairs and desks that move up and down automatically instead of manually.

[0055] (Evaluation of procedural options) Figure 10 is an eighth example of the consideration measure input process (STEP 1) and evaluation point calculation process (STEP 2), and shows the eighth consideration measure input screen, the eighth consideration measure input data, the eighth evaluation database, and the eighth evaluation point.

[0056] (Consideration measures input processing) The eighth consideration measures input screen is an information input screen used when inputting, from the provider terminal 2, consideration measures being taken (or consideration measures to be taken) for employed disabled persons. The provider terminal 2 accesses the consideration management server 1 to acquire the eighth consideration measure input screen (data constituting the input screen), and displays the input screen on a display monitor that the provider terminal 2 has. The eighth consideration measures input screen is used to input whether or not there is a right to choose the procedural method. For example, when applying for leave, the company allows disabled people to choose the method of application (procedure) that best suits their disability, such as filing in writing, by phone, or by email. Therefore, the person in charge enters information indicating that they have the right to choose the procedure (here, they check the corresponding checkbox) and clicks the send button.

[0057] As a result, the provider terminal 2 generates the eighth consideration measure input data and transmits it to the consideration management server 1.

[0058] (Evaluation point calculation process) The consideration management server 1 that receives the eighth consideration measure input data stores it in a storage device. The eighth evaluation database is stored in the storage device of the consideration management server 1. This is the basic data for evaluating the consideration measures adopted by companies, and associates (links) each consideration measure with a corresponding score. The consideration management server 1 searches and extracts each score (a score consisting of a base score and an additional score) based on the received eighth consideration input data (note that this process is the same as in the case of calculating the first evaluation score).

[0059] Next, the consideration management server 1 sums up the searched and extracted scores to generate and create "8th evaluation score: 8".

[0060] This will enable the consideration measures adopted by companies and other entities to be properly evaluated and appropriate consideration to be given to minority groups. Also, in this example, a distinction is made between cases where there is a choice of procedural methods (first consideration measure) and cases where there is no choice (second consideration measure), and cases where there is a choice are given a higher evaluation point than cases where there is no choice (if the first consideration measure is adopted, points are added and the evaluation is high). For example, for visually impaired people, it may be difficult to write a leave request, and it may be more convenient to submit the request by phone, so it is necessary to emphasize and promote the adoption of procedural methods that allow choices. This will therefore encourage appropriate consideration. In this case, the "selectable procedure" may include documents, telephone, email, video conference, etc. Also, the items such as equipment may include stationery and furniture that are barrier-free.

[0061] (Evaluation of Barrier-Free Training Sessions) Figure 11 is a ninth example of the consideration measure input process (STEP 1) and evaluation point calculation process (STEP 2), and shows the ninth consideration measure input screen, the ninth consideration measure input data, the ninth evaluation database, and the ninth evaluation point.

[0062] (Consideration measures input processing) The ninth consideration measures input screen is an information input screen used when inputting, from the provider terminal 2, consideration measures being taken (or consideration measures to be taken) for employed disabled persons. The provider terminal 2 accesses the consideration management server 1 to acquire the ninth consideration measure input screen (data constituting the input screen), and displays the input screen on a display monitor that the provider terminal 2 has. The ninth consideration measures input screen is used to input whether or not barrier-free training sessions are being held for staff who accept disabled people and other staff to deepen their understanding of disabled people. The company is conducting such barrier-free training sessions, so the person in charge enters information indicating "Barrier-free training sessions being conducted" (here, the person in charge checks the corresponding checkbox) and clicks the send button.

[0063] As a result, the provider terminal 2 generates the ninth consideration measure input data and transmits it to the consideration management server 1.

[0064] (Evaluation point calculation process) The consideration management server 1 that receives the ninth consideration measure input data stores it in a storage device. The ninth evaluation database is stored in the storage device of the consideration management server 1. This is the basic data for evaluating the consideration measures adopted by companies, and associates (links) each consideration measure with a corresponding score. The consideration management server 1 searches and extracts each score (a score consisting of a base score and an additional score) based on the received ninth consideration input data (note that this process is the same as in the case of calculating the first evaluation score).

[0065] Next, the consideration management server 1 adds up the searched and extracted scores to generate and create "9th evaluation score: 12."

[0066] This will enable the consideration measures adopted by companies and other entities to be properly evaluated and appropriate consideration to be given to minority groups. Also, in this example, a distinction is made between cases where barrier-free training sessions are held (first consideration measure) and cases where they are not held (second consideration measure), with the cases where they are held receiving a higher evaluation point than those where they are not held (if the first consideration measure is adopted, points are added and a higher evaluation is given). When employing people with disabilities, it is extremely important that staff learn about the characteristics of disabilities and the considerations that should be taken into account on a daily basis through training, and so it is necessary to emphasize and promote the implementation of barrier-free training sessions. This will therefore encourage appropriate consideration.

[0067] (Lighting equipment evaluation) Figure 12 is a 10th example of the consideration measure input process (STEP 1) and evaluation point calculation process (STEP 2), and shows the 10th consideration measure input screen, the 10th consideration measure input data, the 10th evaluation database, and the 10th evaluation point.

[0068] (Consideration measures input processing) The tenth consideration measures input screen is an information input screen used when inputting, from the provider terminal 2, consideration measures being taken (or consideration measures to be taken) for employed disabled persons. The provider terminal 2 accesses the consideration management server 1 to acquire the tenth consideration measure input screen (data constituting the input screen), and displays the input screen on a display monitor that the provider terminal 2 has. The 10th consideration measures input screen allows you to input whether or not you provide means to adjust lighting fixtures for employees with disabilities. The company provides a means to adjust the brightness, color, direction, etc. of lighting. Therefore, the person in charge enters information indicating "Providing a means to adjust lighting fixtures" (here, he checks the corresponding checkbox) and clicks the send button.

[0069] As a result, the provider terminal 2 generates the tenth consideration measure input data and transmits it to the consideration management server 1.

[0070] (Evaluation point calculation process) The consideration management server 1 that receives the tenth consideration measure input data stores it in a storage device. The tenth evaluation database is stored in the storage device of the consideration management server 1. This is the basic data for evaluating the consideration measures adopted by companies, and associates (links) each consideration measure with a corresponding score. The consideration management server 1 searches and extracts each score (a score consisting of a base score and an additional score) based on the received tenth consideration input data (note that this process is the same as in the case of calculating the first evaluation score).

[0071] Next, the consideration management server 1 adds up the searched and extracted scores and generates and creates "10th evaluation score: 7."

[0072] This will enable the consideration measures adopted by companies and other entities to be properly evaluated and appropriate consideration to be given to minority groups. In this example, a distinction is made between cases where a means to adjust lighting fixtures is provided (first consideration) and cases where it is not provided (second consideration), and cases where it is provided are given a higher evaluation point than cases where it is not provided (when the first consideration is adopted, points are added and a higher evaluation is given). Some people with disabilities have symptoms such as being too sensitive to normal lighting, so it is necessary to emphasize and promote the provision of a means to adjust lighting fixtures. This makes it possible to promote appropriate consideration.

[0073] (Evaluation of the number of barrier-free measures) Figure 13 is an 11th example of the consideration measure input process (STEP 1) and evaluation point calculation process (STEP 2), and shows the 11th consideration measure input screen, the 11th consideration measure input data, the 11th evaluation database, and the 11th evaluation point.

[0074] (Consideration measures input processing) The eleventh consideration measures input screen is an information input screen used when inputting, from the provider terminal 2, consideration measures being taken (or consideration measures to be taken) for employed disabled persons. The provider terminal 2 accesses the consideration management server 1 to acquire the eleventh consideration measure input screen (data constituting the input screen), and displays the input screen on a display monitor that the provider terminal 2 has. The 11th consideration measures input screen is used to input the number of barrier-free measures such as braille blocks. The company has installed 10 or more Braille blocks. Therefore, the person in charge enters the information indicating "10 or more" (here, he or she checks the corresponding check box) and clicks the send button.

[0075] As a result, the provider terminal 2 generates the eleventh consideration measure input data and transmits it to the consideration management server 1.

[0076] (Evaluation point calculation process) The consideration management server 1 that has received the eleventh consideration measure input data stores it in a storage device. An eleventh evaluation database is stored in the storage device of the consideration management server 1. This is basic data for evaluating consideration measures adopted by companies, and associates (links) each consideration measure with a corresponding score. The consideration management server 1 searches and extracts each score based on the received eleventh consideration input data (this process is similar to that of the first evaluation score calculation).

[0077] Next, the consideration management server 1 adds up the searched and extracted scores to generate and create "11th evaluation score: 8."

[0078] This will enable the consideration measures adopted by companies and other entities to be properly evaluated and appropriate consideration to be given to minority groups. In this example, the evaluation is fluctuated so that the more barrier-free measures (consideration measures) there are, such as braille blocks, the higher the evaluation. This will enhance barrier-free measures and encourage appropriate consideration. In addition, barrier-free measures may include various measures that make facilities, equipment, communication, etc. barrier-free, such as braille blocks, audio guidance, provision of text information, and sign language interpretation.

[0079] (Evaluation of types of barrier-free measures) Figure 14 is a 12th example of the consideration measure input process (STEP 1) and evaluation point calculation process (STEP 2), and shows the 12th consideration measure input screen, the 12th consideration measure input data, the 12th evaluation database, and the 12th evaluation point.

[0080] (Consideration measures input processing) The twelfth consideration measures input screen is an information input screen used when inputting, from the provider terminal 2, consideration measures being taken (or consideration measures to be taken) for employed disabled persons. The provider terminal 2 accesses the consideration management server 1 to acquire the twelfth consideration measure input screen (data constituting the input screen), and displays the input screen on a display monitor that the provider terminal 2 has. The 12th consideration measures input screen is used to input the number of types of barrier-free measures, such as braille blocks and writing implements. The company has installed five or more types of barrier-free measures. Therefore, the person in charge enters information indicating "five or more types" (here, he or she checks the corresponding check box) and clicks the send button.

[0081] As a result, the provider terminal 2 generates the twelfth consideration measure input data and transmits it to the consideration management server 1.

[0082] (Evaluation point calculation process) The consideration management server 1 that receives the twelfth consideration measure input data stores it in a storage device. The storage device of the consideration management server 1 stores a twelfth evaluation database. This is basic data for evaluating consideration measures adopted by companies, and associates (links) each consideration measure with a corresponding score. The consideration management server 1 searches and extracts each score based on the received twelfth consideration input data (this process is similar to that of the first evaluation score calculation).

[0083] Next, the consideration management server 1 adds up the searched and extracted scores to generate and create "12th evaluation score: 8."

[0084] This will enable the consideration measures adopted by companies and other entities to be properly evaluated and appropriate consideration to be given to minority groups. In this example, the evaluation is varied by adding points and giving a higher rating as the number of types of barrier-free measures (consideration measures) such as braille blocks increases. This will increase the variety of barrier-free measures available and encourage appropriate consideration.

[0085] Figure 15 shows data showing the reasonable accommodation achievement standard score (the score at which reasonable accommodation can be judged to have been achieved), with 100 points being the standard score here. The consideration management server 1 adds up the above first through twelfth evaluations, calculates a total evaluation score of 164 points, and combines this with the comments and scores previously stored in the storage device to create evaluation comment data (a final judgment and evaluation consisting of multiple evaluation elements) "The input consideration measure is evaluated as 164 points. It reaches the benchmark score of 100 points, and can be evaluated as having provided sufficient reasonable consideration," and sends (outputs) this to the provider terminal 2 (evaluation output means). Note that if the benchmark score is not reached, evaluation comment data such as "Reasonable consideration is insufficient" is created. The provider terminal 2 receives this, stores it in a storage device, and displays it on the display monitor as shown in FIG. This allows those in charge to know how their company's accommodation measures are evaluated. Note that the above 12 examples are merely illustrative, and evaluation can be performed using only a portion of these. It is also possible to enter consideration measures other than the above 12 examples and receive evaluation.

[0086] Figure 16 shows how the evaluation of accommodation measures varies depending on the type of disability. If the type of disability is visual impairment, voice guidance is effective and the evaluation score is 10 points. However, even though the same consideration measure, voice guidance, is also effective, if the type of disability is hearing impairment, voice guidance is not effective and the evaluation score is 2 points. In this way, by varying the evaluation of accommodation measures depending on the type of disability, a more detailed evaluation can be made, resulting in an appropriate evaluation.

[0087] Although the above embodiment describes a specific case, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, other hardware, other data or data items, other processing procedures, processing contents, other display contents, etc. may be used as long as they can perform the same function. The output of data may include transmitting data, printing data, displaying data on a display monitor, etc. Data transmitted and received between devices is stored in the storage device of each device. In the above embodiment, the processing is carried out via the Internet, but it may also be carried out by a single computer. [Explanation of symbols]
