[0060] Next, the functional configuration of each device in the selection support system 1 will be described. Fig. 6 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the photographing device 2. As shown in Fig. 6, the photographing device 2 has a photographing unit 201, a personal identification information acquisition unit 202, a personal identification information transmission unit 203, a code input unit 204, and a remote interview processing unit 205, etc. The remote interview processing unit 205 has a video / audio input / output unit 206, a remote interview control unit 207, etc. Each of these units is realized by the control unit 101 of the control device 10 of the photographing device 2 performing processing.

[0061] The photographing unit 201 controls the camera 23, the lighting unit 24, etc. to perform photographing processing and obtains still or moving images of the user.

[0062] The personal identification information acquisition unit 202 executes a process for acquiring a face image of a user and information on the personal identification document of the user. Personal identification documents are identification cards used for personal identification by government agencies, financial institutions, mobile phone carriers, etc., and include, for example, a driver's license, a My Number card, a residence card, a special permanent resident card, etc.

[0063] The personal identification information acquisition unit 202, for example, captures a facial image of the user using the camera 23. The personal identification information acquisition unit 202 also captures still images of the front and back of the user's personal identification document to obtain a card face image. The personal identification information acquisition unit 202 may also capture a moving image of the user moving the personal identification document using the camera 23 to obtain information on the thickness of the personal identification document.

[0064] The personal identification information transmitting unit 203 transmits the image of the personal identification document acquired by the personal identification information acquiring unit 202 and the face image of the user captured by the photographing unit 201 to the server 3. The server 3 performs personal identification processing using the image of the personal identification document and the face image of the user.

[0065] The code input unit 204 accepts input (reading) of various codes issued by the server 3. For example, in the selection support system 1, an applicant code is issued to a user (hereinafter referred to as an applicant) who applies for recruitment information. The applicant code is identification information that identifies the applicant, and includes numerical information or text information. The applicant code is converted into a QR code or a barcode and notified to the applicant terminal 5.

[0066] An applicant accesses the server 3 from the applicant terminal 5, registers predetermined information (personal information such as name, date of birth, etc.), and obtains an applicant code issued by the server 3. The server 3 links the information registered from the applicant terminal 5 (personal information such as name, date of birth, etc.) with the applicant code and stores it in a predetermined folder (applicant information folder 332) in the storage unit 302. When an applicant uses the photographing device 2 for identity verification or a remote interview, the applicant holds the applicant code (QR code) over the code reader 35 to have it read, and enters the value of the applicant code.

[0067] The identity verification information sending unit 203 of the photographing device 2 transmits the image of the identity verification document and the image of the applicant acquired by the identity verification information acquiring unit 202 to the server 3 together with the applicant code input by the code input unit 204. The server 3 (identification unit 312) compares the acquired image of the identity verification document and the image of the applicant with pre-registered information (personal information such as name, date of birth, etc.) to verify the identity of the applicant.

[0068] The remote interview processing unit 205 performs processing for conducting a remote interview between the photographing device 2 and the hired candidate terminal 4. Video / audio input / output unit 206 superimposes the video input from camera 23 and the audio input from microphone 26, compresses and encodes the superimposed data, and transmits it to server 3. It also decodes the superimposed data of video and audio received from server 3 and separates it into video data and audio data. The audio data is output from speaker 27, and the video data is input to monitor 28 and displayed in synchronization with the audio.

[0069] In order to carry out remote interview processing, the remote interview control unit 207 controls communication with the server 3, connection with the other party, starting and stopping the remote interview, and inputting and outputting video and audio. If the identity verification process during the remote interview fails, the remote interview control unit 207 interrupts the remote interview.

[0070] The video and audio of the applicant inputted into the photographing device 2 are anonymized by the server 3 and transmitted to the terminal of the person being interviewed (the hired person terminal 4). That is, the processing is performed so that the applicant's appearance and voice cannot be recognized by the other person. In the anonymization processing, for example, the appearance of the applicant is expressed using a CG model, or the voice is changed. In order to perform the anonymization processing, the remote interview control unit 207 of the photographing device 2 accepts the selection of the character and the selection of the voice, and performs pre-processing such as setting up face tracking and motion capture. The anonymization processing will be described later.

[0071] Fig. 7 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the server 3.

Furthermore, when information on the implementation status and interview level of the interview is sent from the employed person terminal 4, it updates the interview flag and updates the interview level information.

[0096] The information presentation unit 319 presents the information stored in the employment determination information folder 333 so that it can be viewed on the employed person terminal 4. For example, the information presentation unit 319 presents ES answer information 333a to ES question information 331b registered by the employed person so that it can be viewed on the employed person website.

[0097] The screening information registration unit 320 accepts input of the screening status and results from the recruit's terminal 4. For example, the screening information registration unit 320 provides an input form for inputting the screening status and results on a recruit's website. The information management unit 318 updates and records the screening progress information 333b based on the input screening status and results.

[0098] The communication unit 321 sends a message to the applicant terminal 5 according to the implementation status and results of the screening. Specifically, for example, when the ES screening is passed, a message to that effect is sent along with a QR code indicating the applicant code to the applicant terminal 5. If the applicant passes or fails, a message to that effect is sent to the applicant terminal 5. The form of communication may be, for example, sending an email to a registered email address or using the notification function of the selection support app 511.

[0099] The interview information registration unit 322 accepts registration of information regarding remote interviews from the employed person terminal 4 and the applicant terminal 5. For example, the interview information registration unit 322 accepts registration of candidate dates for remote interviews, whether the interview has been conducted or not, the level of the interview, etc. from the employed person terminal 4 on the employed person website. In addition, from the applicant terminal 5, registration of a desired date and time from among the candidate dates for remote interviews on the applicant website.

[0112] The applicant code receiving unit 514 receives the applicant code transmitted from the server 3. The applicant code is transmitted from the server 3 when the applicant passes the ES screening. The applicant code is transmitted from the server 3 in the form of, for example, numerical information, character information, a QR code, a barcode, or the like. The applicant code is used when registering the personal identification information 332b in the photograph taking device 2 and when conducting a remote interview.

[0113] The interview date and time input unit 515 performs processing for registering the desired interview date and time in the server 3. Specifically, the applicant terminal 5 accesses the applicant's website on the server 3 and inputs the desired interview date and time according to a specific input form. The contact receiving unit 516 receives contact from the server 3. For example, contact such as the result of the screening, contact regarding the implementation of identity verification, and registration of interview date and time is sent from the server 3. The form of contact includes email, notification of the selection support application 511, and the like.

[0114] Next, a description will be given of the flow of the process executed by the selection support system 1. First, the recruitment information registration process will be described with reference to Fig. 13. The recruitment information registration process is a process carried out between the server 3 and the employed person terminal 4. First, the employed person terminal 4 accesses the server 3 of the selection support system 1 via a website or the like and requests the creation of a new account (step S101). The server 3 creates an account for the employed person terminal 4 (step S102). In step S102, the server 3 creates a company code and stores it in the employed person registration information folder 331 as company information 331c. Then, the server 3 transmits the URL of a website (registration site) for registering the recruitment information to the employed person terminal 4 (step S103). The employed person terminal 4 receives the URL of the registration site (step S104), accesses the registration site (step S105), and inputs information such as the company information 331c, the hiring manager information 331d, and the recruitment information (recruitment requirements 331a, ES question information 331b) (step S106).

[0115] In step S106, it is desirable for the server 3 to provide a predetermined input form on the registration site. Fig. 14 shows an example of a recruitment requirements input form 51 for registering the recruitment requirements 331a, and Fig. 15 shows an example of an ES (entry sheet) input form 61 for registering the ES question information 331b and the ES answer information 333a.

[0116] The recruitment requirements input form 51 shown in FIG. 14 is provided with a condition input field 52 for inputting conditions such as application qualifications, recruitment qualifications, work location, number of hires, starting salary, etc., a special notes input field 53 for inputting special notes such as the URL of recruitment information on a company's website, a send button 55 which is operated to send the input information, and a cancel button 56 which is operated to return to the original screen.

[0117] 15 is provided with a question and answer input field 62 for inputting questions and answers, a special notes input field 63 for inputting special notes, a send button 65 operated when sending input information, a cancel button 66 operated when returning to the previous screen, etc. When registering ES question information 331b on the employed applicant terminal 4, the content of the question (question) is input in the question and answer input field 62 of the ES input form 61. The number of questions (questions) in the question and answer input field 62 is arbitrary. Furthermore, when entering ES response information 333a on the applicant terminal 5, the question and answer input field 62 is displayed with the content of the question (question) reflected.

[0118] When the recruitment information (recruitment requirements 331a, ES question information 331b, etc.) is input from the recruit terminal 4 and transmitted to the server 3 (step S107 in FIG. 13), the server 3 receives the input information (step S108). The server 3 stores the information received in step S108 in the recruit registration information folder 331 (step S109).

[0119] Next, the application information registration process will be described with reference to Fig. 16. The application information registration process is a process carried out between the server 3 and the applicant terminal 5. When the selection support application 511 is launched on the applicant terminal 5, the applicant terminal 5 accesses a website for applicants provided by the server 3 (step S201). When the applicant terminal 5 selects a recruitment information page on the applicant website, the applicant terminal 5 requests the server 3 to view the recruitment information (step S202). In response to the request, the server 3 transmits a list of registered recruitment information and the recruitment requirements 331a, etc. to the applicant terminal 5 (step S203). In steps S202 to S203, for example, search conditions may be accepted from the applicant terminal 5, and the server 3 may provide recruitment information that matches the conditions.

[0120] When applying for a recruitment information item, the applicant designates the recruitment information item (recruitment requirements 331a) for which the applicant wishes to apply from the recruitment information page and presses the Entry (Apply) button (step S204). The server 3 then transmits the URL of the applicant's registration site to the applicant terminal 5 (step S205). Upon receiving the URL of the applicant's registration site (step S206), the applicant terminal 5 accesses the registration site (step S207) and first inputs the applicant's personal information (applicant information 332a) (step S208). In step S208, it is preferable that the server 3 (registration site) is provided with a predetermined input form. The applicant inputs personal information and career information such as name, date of birth, sex, address, email address, and career history from the applicant terminal 5 according to the input form, and transmits the information to the server 3 (step S208).

[0121] The server 3 receives the personal information and career information transmitted from the applicant terminal 5 (step S209), issues an applicant code, and stores it in the applicant information folder 332 as applicant information 332a (step S210). At this stage, the identity verification flag of the applicant information 332a is set to "0" (=unconfirmed). After storing the applicant information 332a in the applicant information folder 332, the server 3 generates screening progress information 333b and stores it in the employment decision information folder 333 (step S211). At this stage, the screening flag of the screening progress information 333b is set to "0" (=unscreened), and the ES response flag is set to "0" (=unanswered).

[0122] The applicant registration site may accept the setting of the range of information to be provided to the employer. For example, in step S208, the applicant terminal 5 acquires and displays a provided information setting screen 71 shown in FIG. 17 from the applicant website, and sets information not to be provided to the employer and information to be provided to the employer. The provided information setting screen 71 is provided with an input field 72 for inputting information not to be provided to the employer, an input field 73 for inputting information to be provided to the employer, a special notes input field 74 for inputting special notes, a send button 75 operated when transmitting the input information, a cancel button 76 operated when returning to the original screen, and the like. In the initial setting, personal information such as name, date of birth, sex, address, email address, and career history, and face image are set as information not to be provided.

[0123] Next, the applicant obtains the ES input form 61 from the applicant registration site and inputs answers to the ES questions according to the input form. The ES input form 61 reflects the ES question information 331b that is linked to the recruitment information specified in step S204 and stored. The applicant terminal 5 transmits the ES response information 333a entered in the ES input form 61 to the server 3 (step S212). When the server 3 receives the ES response information 333a transmitted from the applicant terminal 5 (step S213), it stores it in the employment decision information folder 333 (step S214). In addition, the server 3 sets the ES response flag in the screening progress information 333b to "1" (=answered) (step S215).

[0124] Next, the screening information registration process will be described with reference to Fig. 18. The screening information registration process is a process carried out between the server 3 and the employed person terminal 4. The recruiter accesses the recruit's website of the selection support system 1 from the recruit's terminal 4 and inputs login information such as a login password (step S301). The server 3 performs authentication processing based on the login information, and if authentication is successful, sends a menu screen to the recruit's terminal 4 (step S302). The recruit's terminal 4 receives the menu screen from the server 3 and displays it (step S303).

[0125] The menu screen of the recruiter's website has links to various menus such as the recruitment information registration site (the above-mentioned registration site), an application information confirmation menu, a remote interview menu, etc. When the application information confirmation menu is selected (step S304), the server 3 reads out and transmits the recruitment decision information (ES response information 333a) applied for the recruitment information by the recruiter (step S305). The recruiter's terminal 4 receives and displays the recruitment decision information (ES response information 333a) (step S306).

[0126] The recruiter refers to the employment decision information (ES response information 333a) and performs ES (entry sheet) screening. Then, the recruiter inputs the results of the ES screening (step S307). The recruiter website displays an input form for the screening results and accepts the input of the screening results. For example, the display screen of the employment decision information (ES response information 333a) by each applicant displayed in step S306 has an input field for the screening results, and if either pass or fail is input in this input field, the screening results are linked to the applicant code and transmitted to the server 3. If the ES screening is passed (successful), the screen transitions to an input form for inputting interview information 331e (date and time, place, person in charge, etc.), and the input of the interview information 331e is accepted (step S308). The recruiter terminal 4 transmits the input screening results and interview information 331e linked to the applicant code (step S309).

[0127] When the server 3 receives the screening result and the interview information 331e (step S310), it updates and records the screening flag of the screening progress information 333b to "1" (=ES passed) (step S311). In addition, it registers the input interview information 331e in the employed person registration information folder 331 (step S312).

[0128] The server 3 notifies the applicant terminal 5 of the screening result. If the applicant passes the ES, the applicant code is transmitted together with the screening result, and the applicant is notified to carry out identity verification at the photographing device 2 (step S313). If the applicant fails, a notice to that effect is sent.

[0129] When the applicant terminal 5 receives the screening results and the applicant code, the applicant goes to the photographing device 2 and carries out the personal identification information registration process. The personal identification information registration process will be described with reference to FIG.

[0130] When a user (applicant) enters the photography room, the photography device 2 displays a top screen on the operation panel 21 (step S401). The top screen has buttons for selecting various services, such as a photo ID service, an image print service, an identity verification service, and a remote interview service. When the identity verification menu is selected by the user (step S402), the process proceeds to identity verification menu processing.

[0131] Instead of selecting a service (menu) on the top screen, a QR code may be held over the code reader 35. The code (QR code, barcode, or numerical or textual information, etc.) is an applicant code issued by the server 3, which the applicant has received in advance from the server 3 on his / her own terminal (applicant terminal 5).

[0132] The applicant displays an applicant code (QR code) on the applicant terminal 5 (step S403) and holds the QR code over the code reader 35 of the photographing device 2, which reads the QR code (step S404). Note that in the process of step S404, instead of reading the QR code, input of the code value may be accepted. Once reading of the QR code / input of the code value is completed, the photographing device 2 uses the camera 23 to photograph the identification document and the user (steps S405 and S406).

[0133] FIG. 20 is a diagram showing how the identification document is photographed and the user is photographed. The photographing device 2 performs the photographing process while displaying the photographing guide screens 81 to 85 as shown in FIG. 20 on the operation panel 21 or the monitor 28. First, as shown in FIG. 20(a), a frame line is displayed on the photographing guide screen 81, and a message is displayed to include the front side of the identification document within the frame line. When the shutter button is pressed, the front side of the identification document is photographed as a still image. Next, as shown in FIG. 20(b), a video recording button is displayed on the photographing guide screen 82, and an instruction message is displayed to move the identification document for several seconds after the button is pressed. When the video recording button is pressed, the identification document is photographed as a video. Next, as shown in FIG. 20(c), a frame line is displayed on the photographing guide screen 83, and a message is displayed to include the back side of the identification document within the frame line. When the shutter button is pressed, the back side of the identification document is photographed as a still image.

[0134] Next, the photographing device 2 takes a facial image of the user (applicant). As shown in FIG. 20(d), the photographing device 2 displays a frame line for the face and body on the photographing guide screen 84, and displays a message to fit the face within the frame. When the shutter button is pressed with the face positioned within the frame, a still image of the face is taken. Next, as shown in FIG. 20(e), an instruction message is displayed to tilt the face in accordance with the movement of the frame while facing forward. The photographing device 2 takes a video of this process. Note that the photographing procedure in FIG. 20 is one example, and photographing may be performed using other procedures.

[0135] Once the photographing is completed, the photographing device 2 transmits images of the identification document (still images of the front and back, and a moving video) and a facial image (a still image and a video capturing the movement) together with the applicant code to the server 3 (step S407).

[0136] The server 3 receives the image of the identification document, the face image, and the applicant code from the photographing device 2 (step S408). Then, the server 3 performs an identity verification process based on the received information (step S409). The identity verification process is performed, for example, according to the procedure shown in FIG. 21.

[0137] As shown in FIG. 21, in the identity verification process, the control unit 301 of the server 3 obtains an image of the received identity verification document and obtains the applicant information 332a from the applicant information folder 332 (step S501). The control unit 301 of the server 3 judges whether there is any inconsistency in the information written on the front side of the identity verification document from the image of the front side (step S502). For example, it judges whether the name, date of birth, and address written on the front side match the applicant information 332a. The control unit 301 of the server 3 also obtains thickness information of the identity verification document from a video of the identity verification document being moved, and judges whether the identity verification document has an appropriate thickness (step S503). The control unit 301 of the server 3 also judges whether there is any inconsistency in the information written on the back side from the image of the back side of the identity verification document (step S504). For example, if the name, date of birth, address, etc. are written on the back side, it judges whether the written contents match the applicant information 332a. Next, the control unit 301 compares the captured face image with the photo image on the identification document and judges whether the people match (step S505). Furthermore, the control unit 301 checks whether the captured face image shows the person actually moving (step S506). The control unit 301 of the server 3 judges whether the identification document is correct and belongs to the person based on the judgment results of steps S502 to S506. Then, the control unit 301 outputs the authentication result (step S507).

[0138] If the identity verification process is successful, the server 3 stores the image of the identity verification document, the face image, and the applicant code received in step S408 as identity verification information 332b in the applicant information folder 332 (step S410 in FIG. 19). The identity verification flag is set to "1" (identity verified). If the identity verification process is unsuccessful, an error screen is displayed and the process ends.

[0139] Next, the process of registering interview dates and times from applicants will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in step S313 of FIG. 18, the server 3 sends a notice to applicants who have passed the ES screening.

[0140] The applicant terminal 5 receives a notification of the screening result from the server 3 (step S601). If the applicant passes the ES screening and registration of the interview date and time is required, the URL of the registration site for the interview date and time is notified from the server 3. The applicant accesses the notified registration site from the applicant terminal 5 and submits a response regarding the interview date and time (or interview code) (step S602).

[0141] When the server 3 receives the interview date and time (or interview code) from the applicant terminal 5 (step S603), it generates interview information 333c that stores the applicant code, interview date and time, the corresponding interview code, etc., and stores it in the employment judgment information folder 333 (step S604). At this stage, the interview flag is set to "0" (= not conducted).

[0142] If the recruiter wishes to check the interview schedule, he / she accesses the recruiter's website from the recruiter's terminal 4 and selects the interview schedule confirmation menu (step S605). The server 3 reads out the interview information 333c stored in the recruitment decision information folder 333 and transmits it to the recruiter's terminal 4 (step S606). The recruiter's terminal 4 displays the received interview information 333c (step S607).

[0143] Furthermore, if the recruiter wishes to check other employment decision information (ES response information 333a and screening progress information 333b), he or she accesses the recruiter's website from the recruiter's terminal 4 and sends a request to check the employment decision information (step S608). The server 3 reads out the ES response information 333a and screening progress information 333b stored in the employment decision information folder 333 and sends them to the recruiter's terminal 4 (step S609). The recruiter's terminal 4 displays the received employment decision information (ES response information 333a and screening progress information 333b) (step S610).

[0144] Next, the remote interview process carried out between the employed person terminal 4 and the photographing device 2 will be described with reference to FIG. On the interview day, the recruiter accesses the recruiter's website of the selection support system 1 from the recruiter's terminal 4 and enters login information (step S701). The server 3 performs authentication processing based on the login information (step S702), and if the authentication is successful, sends a menu screen to the recruiter's terminal 4. The recruiter's terminal 4 receives the menu screen from the server 3 and displays it (step S703). When the remote interview menu is selected on the menu screen (step S704) and the interview code for the interview to be conducted is specified (step S705), the recruiter's terminal 4 sends a request to start the corresponding remote interview to the server 3 and waits for the start of the remote interview processing (step S706).

[0145] On the other hand, on the day of the interview, the applicant goes to the photographing device 2 and selects the remote interview menu from the top screen of the photographing device 2 (step S707) (step S708). The photographing device 2 first reads the applicant code (QR code) displayed on the applicant terminal 5 to verify the identity of the applicant (step S709) and transmits it to the server 3 (step S710). When the server 3 receives the applicant code from the photographing device 2 (step S711), it performs authentication processing (identity verification processing) based on the received applicant code (step S712). In the authentication processing (identity verification processing) of step S712, the server 3 refers to the identity verification flag of the applicant information 332a and the identity verification information 332b stored in association with the applicant code, and determines whether it is "1" (=identity verification completed). If the identity verification flag is "1", the identity has been verified and authentication is successful. If the identity verification flag is "0", the identity verification has not been performed and authentication is unsuccessful. The server 3 transmits the result of the authentication process to the applicant terminal 5 (step S713). If the result of authentication failure is received (step S714; No), the photographing device 2 displays an error screen (step S715) and then returns to the top screen. If the result of authentication success is received (step S714; Yes), the photographing device 2 transmits a request to start a remote interview to the server 3 and waits for the start of the remote interview process (step S716).

[0146] When the server 3 receives the request to start the remote interview from the employed person terminal 4 and the applicant terminal 5, it starts the remote interview process between the employed person terminal 4 and the applicant terminal 5 (step S717).

[0147] During the remote interview, the video and audio data input from the photographing device 2 is compressed and encoded and transmitted to the server 3 (step S718). When the server 3 receives the video and audio data input from the photographing device 2, it performs identity verification processing based on the received video data (step S719). That is, the server 3 decodes the video and audio data received from the photographing device 2 to extract the video and audio data. Then, it performs identity verification processing based on the image of the applicant included in the video data.

[0148] In the identity verification process in step S719, for example, as in steps S505 and S506 of the identity verification process in FIG. 21, the server 3 compares the applicant's face included in the video data with the image of the photo on the identity verification document to determine whether the people match. The server 3 also checks the inclination of the face from the video data to verify whether the image shows the applicant actually moving. If the authentication fails in the identity verification process in step S719 (step S720; Yes), the server 3 transmits an instruction to interrupt the remote interview to the photographing device 2. The photographing device 2 interrupts the remote interview process (step S721) and returns to step S718. If the authentication succeeds in the identity verification process in step S719 (step S720; No), the server 3 executes anonymization processing of the video data and audio data received from the photographing device 2 (step S722).

[0149] Here, the anonymization process will be described with reference to FIG. 24. The server 3 selects an arbitrary character from among the characters generated by the 3DCG model stored in advance in the storage unit 302, and selects an arbitrary voice (step S801). Here, it is desirable to select a neutral character and voice so that the applicant's gender and appearance are not known. When the server 3 acquires the video data and voice data of the applicant from the photography device 2 (step S802), it acquires predetermined feature points of the applicant's face and body contained in the video data (step S803), sets the corresponding feature points of the CG model (step S804), and moves the feature points of the CG model according to the movement of the feature points in the video. In this way, the facial expression, hand movement, posture, etc. are changed (step S805). Note that markers may be attached to predetermined parts of the applicant to make it easier to track the feature points. Also, the input voice is changed to the sound quality of the selected voice (step S806). The server 3 superimposes the generated video data and voice data, compresses and encodes them, and outputs them (step S807).

[0150] The server 3 transmits the video and audio of the applicant, which have been rendered as a CG model through the anonymization process described above, to the hired candidate terminal 4. Upon receiving the superimposed data of the video and audio of the applicant, which have been rendered as a CG model through the anonymization process, the hired candidate terminal 4 decodes the data and separates it into audio data and video data. The hired candidate terminal 4 outputs the audio data from the speaker 508 and inputs the video data to the display unit 504, where it is displayed in synchronization with the audio (step S723).

[0151] Meanwhile, the video and audio data input at the hired candidate terminal 4 is transmitted to the server 3 (step S724), and then transmitted from the server 3 to the photographing device 2 where the remote interview is being conducted. Upon receiving the video and audio data from the server 3, the photographing device 2 decodes and separates it into audio data and video data. The audio data is output from the speaker 27, and the video data is input to the monitor 28 and displayed in synchronization with the audio (step S725). In this manner, the remote interview is conducted.

[0152] After the remote interview is completed, the recruiter registers the interview results (screening results) from the recruiter terminal 4. To register the screening results, similar to the screening information registration process in FIG. 18, the recruiter logs into the recruiter's website from the recruiter terminal 4, obtains the screening results input form from the menu screen, and enters the screening results (applicant code, pass / fail, hiring year, hiring category, etc.). When the server 3 receives the screening results, it updates the screening flag in the screening progress information 333b to a value according to the result. For example, if the applicant passes the first interview, "2" is assigned, and if the applicant fails, "5" is assigned. The server 3 notifies the applicant terminal 5 of the screening results.

[0153] As described above, the server 3 of the selection support system 1 of this embodiment performs a process of mediating a remote interview conducted between the photographing device 2 and the employed person terminal 4. The server 3 receives the information on the user's identification document and the face image of the applicant transmitted from the photographing device 2, and performs an identity verification process. In addition, in the remote interview, the server 3 performs anonymization process by converting the video of the applicant input from the photographing device 2 into a video such as a 3DCG model or converting the audio. This makes it possible to transmit the applicant's appearance and gender to the employed person terminal 4 without revealing it, and realizes a fair selection that is not influenced by gender or appearance. In addition, by performing identity verification of the applicant using the photographing device 2, reliability can be ensured even in a remote interview where the applicant's appearance is hidden.

[0154] [Second embodiment] Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. Fig. 25 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of a photographing device 2A according to the second embodiment. The photographing device 2A of the second embodiment has an anonymization unit 208 as shown in Fig. 25.

[0155] That is, the remote interview processing unit 205 of the photographing device 2A anonymizes the video data input from the camera 23 and microphone 26 of the photographing device 2A using the anonymization unit 208 and transmits the anonymized data to the server 3. In addition to the video, the anonymization unit 208 may also anonymize the audio data and transmit the anonymized data to the server 3.

[0156] The anonymization process according to the second embodiment will be described. The remote interview control unit 207 of the photographing device 2 accepts character selection and voice selection, and performs pre-processing such as setting face tracking and motion capture.

[0157] The anonymization unit 208 performs an anonymization process on the video input from the camera 23. Specifically, for example, the user is represented using a 3DCG model. The anonymization unit 208 recognizes the facial expressions and movements of the user, and generates video data so that the 3DCG model has the same facial expressions and movements as the user. In addition, the anonymization unit 208 changes the sound quality of the user for the voice data input from the microphone 26, or converts it into a predetermined model voice.

[0158] The video / audio input / output unit 206 superimposes the video and audio anonymized by the anonymization unit 208, compresses and encodes the data, and transmits the superimposed data to the server 3. The server 3 transmits the anonymized video and audio data transmitted from the photographing device 2A to the other party's hired person terminal 4. The video / audio input / output unit 206 decodes the video and audio data of the hired person terminal 4 received from the server 3, and separates the data into video and audio. The audio is output from the speaker 27, and the video is input to the monitor 28 and displayed in synchronization with the audio.

[0159] In the photographing device 2A of the second embodiment, the remote interview control unit 207 performs identity verification processing of the user during the remote interview. The remote interview control unit 207 compares the face of the applicant included in the video before anonymization processing input from the camera 23 with the image of the photo of the identification document, and determines whether the people match. The image of the photo of the identification document is an image acquired by the identity verification information acquisition unit 202 (an image of the identification document taken by the camera 23 at the time of the remote interview or in advance). In addition, the remote interview control unit 207 checks the inclination of the face from the video before anonymization processing, and checks whether the image shows the person actually moving. If the authentication fails due to the identity verification processing, the remote interview is interrupted and the identity verification processing is repeated. If the authentication is successful, the anonymization unit 208 anonymizes the video and audio and transmits them to the server 3.

[0160] In this way, in the second embodiment, the photography device 2A anonymizes the video and audio during the remote interview and transmits them to the server 3. This makes it possible to conduct a remote interview while concealing the appearance and voice of the applicant.

[0161] In the above-mentioned embodiments, a one-to-one interview between the photographing device 2 and the hired candidate terminal 4 has been described, but there may be multiple photographing devices 2 and multiple hired candidate terminals 4. This makes the present invention applicable to one-to-multiple interviews. In such cases, it is desirable to represent the users of the photographing device 2 with different characters in the anonymization process. Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to interviews, and can also be applied to online meetings and the like.

[0162] Although the preferred embodiments of the selection support system and the like according to the present invention have been described above with reference to the attached drawings, the present invention is not limited to these examples. It is clear that a person skilled in the art can come up with various modified or revised examples within the scope of the technical ideas disclosed in this application, and it is understood that these also naturally belong to the technical scope of the present invention.
