Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a support system and support program that improves convenience for domestic accepting organizations and foreign users when employing foreigners in Japan using the Specified Skilled Worker System. [Background technology]

[0002] With the decline in the working population in recent years, the number of companies and other organizations that employ foreign workers has been increasing. In 1964, the Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act was amended to create a system for the residence status of specified skilled workers (Specified Skilled Worker System), making it easier to accept foreign workers who can be immediately put to work in specific industrial fields under certain conditions.

[0003] On the other hand, in order for the system to be operated correctly and for its original purpose to be achieved, it is essential that the receiving organizations and users are compatible with the system, and for this reason, when using the system, it is necessary to fill out a wide range of necessary information accurately.

[0004] The content of these applications and reports varies depending on various conditions related to the working status of foreign employees. For example, the type of documents to be submitted and the content to be filled out differ depending on whether the foreign employee is accepted through in-house support, acceptance commissioned by a registered support organization, whether support is provided or not, and other conditions. As a result, identifying the necessary documents and handling the task of preparing them individually places a heavy burden on accepting organizations. Therefore, there is a demand for technology that reduces the burden on accepting organizations regarding the preparation of such documents.

[0005] Patent Document 1 relates to technology to reduce the burden on accepting organizations regarding reports on foreign employees, and discloses a device that supports accepting organizations by having a question display unit that displays questions about necessary matters, a reception unit that receives answers to the questions, a judgment unit that judges whether the answers meet predetermined standards, a judgment result display unit that displays the judgment results, and a status management unit that manages the application status of applications for Certificates of Eligibility, etc. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 7125805 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] The device described in Patent Document 1 is capable of determining whether accepting organizations wishing to use the Specified Skilled Worker System and users of the system meet the criteria for using the system, and is also said to be able to reduce the burden of filling out application forms, etc. when using the system.

[0008] As the frequency of use of the system increases, accepting organizations will be able to accumulate knowledge about the system and improve their proficiency with the device described in Patent Document 1. Furthermore, when there are amendments to the law or the rules of the system, they will be able to respond to these amendments by receiving information from related organizations.

[0009] However, users of the system will only use the devices when looking for a job or changing jobs. For example, when using the devices for the first time, they will need to learn how to operate them to a certain extent, such as when registering their own information or searching for job information. This means that those who are proficient in using computers can operate the devices, but for job seekers who have difficulty using computers, it will be difficult for them to even find job information.

[0010] Under the Specified Skilled Worker System, there are registered support organizations that can assist in creating support plans, but these registered support organizations are not necessarily set up to directly support local users.

[0011] The present invention aims to provide a support system and support program that makes it easier for not only accepting organizations that wish to use the Specified Skilled Worker System, but also those who wish to use the system, to use the system. [Means for solving the problem]

[0012] In order to achieve the above object, the specified skills system utilization support system of the present invention is a specified skills system utilization support system that supports procedures related to the specified skills system, and comprises a plurality of accepting organization terminals that can be used by a plurality of accepting organizations that wish to accept users and that can input accepting organization information related to the accepting organizations; a user terminal that can input user information that is information about the users; an assistant terminal that can be used by an assistant assisting the users and that can input the user information; a server device that is connectable to the accepting organization terminals, the user terminals, and the assistant terminals via a network and that displays the accepting organization information and the user information to enable matching between the accepting organization and the assistant or the user; and a document creation unit that can create documents to be used for procedures under the specified skills system using the accepting organization information and the user information, and the server device is characterized in that when the document creation unit creates documents necessary for accepting the user matched by the matching unit, the server device creates the necessary documents from the information input at the accepting organization terminal, the user terminal, and the assistant terminal.

[0013] According to the Specified Skilled Worker System Utilization Support System of the present invention, user information about users can be input on an assistant terminal used by an assistant who assists multiple users who wish to accept users. This allows the assistant to become proficient in operating the device, and even if the users are unfamiliar with operating the device, the assistant can input accurate information.

[0014] In addition, in the Specified Skilled Worker System Utilization Support System of the present invention, when the user information is input from the assistant terminal, the matching unit matches the accepting organization with the user, and the assistant terminal is kept secret from the information identifying the accepting organization until the user is informally hired by the accepting organization. do .

[0015] According to this configuration, by not disclosing to the assistant the information that identifies the receiving organization until the user has been accepted, it is possible to prevent the individual information of the receiving organization from being spread to people other than those who are directly related to the receiving organization, such as the user.

[0016] Furthermore, in the Specified Skilled Worker System Utilization Support System of the present invention, when the assistant terminal is capable of inputting non-owner user information relating to a non-owner user who is a user who does not own the user terminal, the server device may be capable of matching the accepting organization information with the non-owner user information using the matching unit, and may be capable of creating necessary documents using the non-owner user information using the document creation unit.

[0017] According to this configuration, even if a user has difficulty operating a computer and does not own a user terminal, they can still use the specified skills system to conduct recruitment activities via the assistant terminal.

[0018] In this case, if the non-owner user information includes non-owner user notification information that can be directly notified to the non-owner user, the server device may match the receiving organization with the non-owner user using the matching unit, and may not notify the assistant terminal of the information identifying the receiving organization until the non-owner user has been offered employment by the receiving organization.

[0019] According to this configuration, by not notifying the assistant of the information identifying the receiving institution, it is possible to prevent the personal information of the receiving institution from being spread to people other than those directly related to the receiving institution, such as non-owner users.

[0020] Furthermore, in the Specified Skilled Worker System Utilization Support System of the present invention, the accepting organization terminal and the assistant terminal may be capable of displaying a visa application document creation screen for applying for a visa for the user, and the visa application document creation screen may include at least a user information import screen that can import documents containing the user information, and an accepting organization information import screen that can import documents containing the accepting organization information, and the document creation unit may be capable of automatically creating visa application documents using the user information or the accepting organization information imported from the visa application document creation screen.

[0021] When using the Specified Skilled Worker System, multiple types of visa application documents are required depending on the user's nationality, the type of specified skill, etc., and personnel who are not familiar with the system may not know which type of visa application document to prepare. In this invention, the accepting organization terminal and assistant terminal import documents containing user information, such as the user's residence card, resume, and documents related to qualifications, and also import documents containing accepting organization information, such as employment conditions, job advertisements, or responses to questionnaires, and the document preparation unit automatically generates visa application documents using this imported information, thereby significantly reducing the workload of personnel at the accepting organization and assistant.

[0022] In addition, in the Specified Skilled Worker System Utilization Support System of the present invention, the visa application document creation screen may be configured so that the user information import screen and the accepting organization information import screen are displayed on the same screen. With this configuration, there is no need to switch screens when creating visa application documents, which allows for smooth creation of visa application documents.

[0023] Furthermore, the specified skills system utilization support program of the present invention is a program that causes a computer to operate as the specified skills system utilization support system of each of the above inventions. [Effects of the Invention]

[0024] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a support system and a support program that enable accurate input of information even for complex input items when using the Specified Skilled Worker System. Furthermore, according to the present invention, even users who are unfamiliar with the Specified Skilled Worker System or computers can use the system. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0026] Next, a Specified Skilled Worker System Utilization Support System 1, which is an example of an embodiment of the present invention, will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 6. As shown in Figure 1, the Specified Skilled Worker System Utilization Support System 1 (hereinafter referred to as "support system 1") of the present invention includes an accepting organization terminal 10 used by an accepting organization that wishes to accept users using the Specified Skilled Worker System, a user terminal 20 into which users can input information about themselves, a support organization terminal 50 used by a registered support organization, an assistant terminal 60 used by an assistant who assists the multiple users who wish to be accepted, and a server device 70 that is capable of creating documents to be used for procedures under the Specified Skilled Worker System and matching accepting organizations with users.

[0027] The accepting institution terminal 10, user terminal 20, assistant terminal 60, and server device 70 are all connected to each other via a network N such as the Internet. Note that in FIG. 1, only one accepting institution terminal 10, one support institution terminal 50, and one assistant terminal 60 are shown, but in reality, multiple terminals are connected to the network N. Also, only two user terminals 20 are shown, but in reality, many terminals are connected to the network N.

[0028] The accepting organization using the accepting organization terminal 10 is a company or organization in Japan that wishes to accept foreign nationals with certain expertise and skills using the Specified Skilled Worker System. When using a personal computer, the accepting organization terminal 10 is equipped with various components that are included in a normal personal computer, such as input means such as a keyboard and mouse that allow accepting organization personnel to input various information, display means such as a display, and communication means for communicating with the server device 70. This accepting organization terminal 10 can also be a tablet terminal, smartphone, etc.

[0029] The users who use the user terminal 20 are foreigners who have certain expertise and skills that can use the specified skilled worker system, and are those who reside in the foreign country or who are already residing in Japan. The user terminal 20 is usually a tablet terminal or smartphone, but a personal computer can also be used.

[0030] In this embodiment, a support organization terminal 50 used by a registered support organization is connected via a network N. A registered support organization is an organization that is commissioned by an accepting organization to create and implement a support plan for the period of stay to enable users to stably and smoothly carry out activities under Specified Skilled Worker No. 1. When a registered support organization also serves as an accepting organization, the support organization terminal 50 also functions as the accepting organization terminal 10.

[0031] An assistant (partner) who uses the assistant terminal 60 is an individual, company, or organization that assists a user who wishes to use the specified skills system, or that inputs user information, etc. into the assistant terminal 60 on behalf of the user.

[0032] The support institution terminal 50 and assistant terminal 60 may be a personal computer like the receiving institution terminal 10, or may be a tablet terminal, a smartphone, etc. These terminals are equipped with input means that allow the operator to input various information, communication means for communicating with the server device 70, etc.

[0033] The server device 70 is a device that can create application documents necessary for various applications required under the Specified Skilled Worker System and can match accepting organizations with users. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 1, the server device 70 has, as functional units, a reception unit 71 that receives access from each terminal, a document preparation unit 72 that prepares various documents based on documents stored in each database (hereinafter referred to as "DB"), a matching unit 73 that matches accepting organizations with users, and an accepting organization information DB 74, a user information DB 75, an assistant information DB 76, and a support organization information DB 77 that record information input from each terminal.

[0034] The various terminals and server device 70 described above are primarily configured as computers, which include processors such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), storage means such as a hard disk and memory, connection means with various networks, a keyboard, a mouse, a display, etc. (reference numerals omitted). The support system 1 in this embodiment is realized by executing a Specified Skilled Worker System Utilization Support Program 78, which is software stored in storage means of the server device 70, which is hardware.

[0035] Next, we will explain the document creation unit 72 in the server device 70 of the support system 1 of this embodiment. The document creation unit 72 is a functional unit that uses the information stored in the accepting organization information DB 74, the user information DB 75, and the assistant information DB 76 to create documents required when using the specified skills system, such as employment conditions documents.

[0036] In the document creation unit 72, the necessary information is entered into, for example, the employment conditions document 79 shown in Fig. 2. Specifically, accepting organization information stored in the accepting organization information DB 74, such as the accepting organization's name, address, telephone number, etc., is entered into each entry field (the areas indicated by "△" in Fig. 2). Furthermore, in the section on the employment conditions document 79 that describes the user, user information stored in the user information DB 75, such as the user's name, is entered into each entry field (the areas indicated by "○" in Fig. 2). The employment conditions document 79 in Fig. 2 is written in both Japanese and Vietnamese.

[0037] In this embodiment, the document creation unit 72 creates documents using not only data input from the accepting organization terminal 10 and the user terminal 20, but also data input from the assistant terminal 60. Generally, users use systems such as the support system 1 only when looking for a job or changing jobs, and therefore do not use them frequently. Therefore, users who are not familiar with the operation may have difficulty inputting information using the support system 1, but in this embodiment, by using an assistant and the assistant terminal 60 in such cases, accurate user information can be input.

[0038] Next, we will explain the matching unit 73 in the server device 70 of the support system 1 of this embodiment. The matching unit 73 is a functional unit that performs processing such as displaying the job information entered by the accepting organization terminal 10 so that it can be viewed on the user terminal 20 and the assistant terminal 60, and when an application for the job information is made from the user terminal 20 or the assistant terminal 60, displaying the application information on the accepting organization terminal 10, thereby providing a platform that makes it easier to conclude an employment contract between the accepting organization and the user or assistant.

[0039] The matching unit 73 has an interview schedule adjustment function that adjusts the interview schedule when a user or assistant applies in response to the accepting organization information, a company seal insertion function that can electronically insert the accepting organization's company seal into the job offer certificate (not shown) or employment conditions document 79 created by the document creation unit 72 from the accepting organization terminal 10 when it has been decided that the user will be accepted by the accepting organization, and a document sending function that can send the created documents to the user with one click.Details of each function will not be explained here.

[0040] Next, the operation of the support system 1 of this embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 6. First, the input etc. performed by the accepting organization via the accepting organization terminal 10 will be described. A person in charge at the accepting organization starts up the accepting organization terminal 10 and uses a web browser or the like to use the support system 1. To use the support system 1, for example, the person accesses the reception unit 71 of the server device 70 by entering a specified URL or the like, and enters the accepting organization ID and password, which are login IDs, into a login screen not shown, to log in to the support system 1.

[0041] On the accepting organization terminal 10, a person in charge at the accepting organization can register accepting organization information such as the company name and address on an accepting organization registration screen (not shown). The registered accepting organization information is stored in the accepting organization information DB 74 of the server device 70.

[0042] When a person in charge at the accepting organization inputs job information, the person in charge displays the job information input screen 11 shown in Figure 3 and inputs job information to recruit personnel needed at the accepting organization. Specifically, as shown in Figure 3, basic information such as the job title, number of people to be recruited, and application deadline is input as job information.

[0043] In addition, you can enter information required for utilizing the Specified Skilled Worker System, such as work location, salary, candidate conditions, working hours, holidays, vacation, living environment, retirement and other conditions. Candidate conditions can include the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) level, preferred gender, preferred nationality, preferred age, etc.

[0044] Next, we will explain the input made by the user on the user terminal 20. The user uses a web browser or a smartphone app on the user terminal 20 to access the reception unit 71 of the server device 70 and use the support system 1. For example, the user enters a user ID and password, which are login IDs, on a login screen of the app (not shown) to log in to the support system 1.

[0045] When a user logs in to the user terminal 20, a job offer display screen 21 shown in Fig. 4(A) is displayed. The job offer display screen 21 displays a menu section 22 that allows the user to change the displayed information, such as "job offer," "application," and "scout." In addition, a user information input section button 23 is provided on the right end of the menu section 22, allowing the user to input user information, which is information about the user.

[0046] When the user information input button 23 is tapped or clicked, a user menu 24 is displayed, displaying "Profile," "Personal Settings," and "Logout," as shown in Fig. 4(B). Entering user information using the user menu 24 will be described later.

[0047] Figure 4(A) shows the state when the "Job Openings" menu is selected in the menu section 22. When the "Job Openings" menu is selected, job information for accepting organizations that are hiring is displayed in the content display section 29, which will be described later. In the content display section 29, an outline of the job information is displayed with a photograph in a frame on the left side of Figure 4(A), and multiple such frames are displayed.

[0048] Details of the job information selected by the user and an apply button 33 for applying are displayed on the right side of the content display section 29. Figure 4(A) shows the state in which the details of the job information in the upper frame displayed on the left side of the content display section 29 are displayed on the right side of the content display section 29.

[0049] When the "Apply" section is selected in the menu section 22, a list of application information for which the user has applied is displayed (not shown). If there are multiple accepting organizations to which the user has applied, selecting any of the application information will display a screen showing the job details such as the work location, industry, job type, and job content, as well as a schedule of potential interview dates (see FIG. 6). Here, the job details displayed in the content display section 29 do not display information that can identify the accepting organization, such as the name or address of the accepting organization.

[0050] If the "Scout" section is selected in the menu section 22, and there is an accepting organization that has made a job offer to the user, this will be displayed on the scout screen (not shown).

[0051] On the job listing screen 21, below the menu section 22, there is a display switching button 25 for switching between detailed display and list display, as well as a keyword input section 26 and a search button 27 for searching for job listings.

[0052] Below that, there is a filter section 28 that has menus for specifying the location, industry, job type, Japanese conversation ability, and Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) level for the job information, as well as buttons for applying and canceling filters, allowing for filtering of job information.

[0053] In addition, on the job offer display screen 21, a content display section 29 is provided below the filter section 28. This content display section 29 displays content corresponding to the menu selected in the menu section 22. This content display section 29 can be scrolled using a scroll bar 30 provided on the right side of the job offer display screen 21.

[0054] When a user searches for job information, if the user applies a filter in the filter unit 28, the results of applying the filter set in the filter unit 28 will be displayed on the job information display screen 21. For example, if the location is limited to "Tokyo," only job information where the work location is Tokyo can be displayed.

[0055] Next, we will explain how to input user information using the user menu 24. When the user menu 24 is selected, "Profile," "Personal Settings," and "Logout" are displayed as shown in Figure 4(B), and user information can be input. When "Profile" is selected in the user menu 24, a profile input screen 31 shown in Figure 5(A) is displayed.

[0056] The profile input screen 31 allows the user to enter information necessary for utilizing the Specified Skilled Worker System, such as the user's name (in alphabet), Japanese name, age, gender, nationality, and residence status, as well as the industry and occupation as skills, contact information such as email address, and additional information.

[0057] When "Personal Settings" is selected in the user menu 24, the personal settings input screen 32 shown in FIG. 5(B) is displayed. On the personal settings input screen 32, it is possible to select the language to be used, to select whether or not to receive email notifications about new job openings, to select from a menu the industry in which the user wants to receive notifications, and to select whether or not to receive email notifications about scouting. In this way, the user information input using the user terminal 20 is stored in the user information DB 75 of the server device 70.

[0058] Next, we will explain the assistant's input on the assistant terminal 60. On the assistant terminal 60, as with the receiving institution terminal 10 and the user terminal 20, the assistant enters the assistant ID and password on a login screen (not shown) and logs in to the support system 1 via the reception unit 71 of the server device 70.

[0059] In the assistant terminal 60, the assistant can register assistant information about the assistant, such as the assistant's name (organization name or individual name) and address, on an assistant information registration screen (not shown). In this way, the assistant information input using the assistant terminal 60 is stored in the assistant information DB 76 of the server device 70.

[0060] The assistant can input user information in the same way as the user does, on the assistant terminal 60. When the assistant inputs user information via the assistant terminal 60, data indicating that the assistant has input the information is stored in association with the data stored in the user information DB 75.

[0061] Furthermore, the assistant can input not only information about users who own the user terminal 20, but also non-owner user information about non-owner users who do not own the user terminal 20. For example, the assistant has the non-owner user enter their name, skills, etc. in an entry form that can contain information similar to the profile input screen 31 shown in FIG. 5(A), and the assistant inputs this information into the assistant terminal 60, thereby inputting the non-owner user information. The non-owner user information input into the assistant terminal 60 is stored in the user information DB 75 of the server device 70. At that time, the registered user is stored in association with the fact that the user is a non-owner user.

[0062] Next, we will explain what happens when a user applies for job information entered by a receiving organization. When a user applies for job information, the user selects the "Job" menu in the menu section 22 on the job information display screen 21 shown in Figure 4(A). In addition, when narrowing down the job information, the user can narrow down the search by keyword using the keyword input section 26 and search button 27, or by applying a filter using the filter section 28.

[0063] By narrowing down the job information in this way, multiple job information that match the user's desired job type, etc. are displayed on the left side of the content display section 29. These job information can be scrolled using the scroll bar 30. When the user looks at the summary of the job information displayed in the content display section 29 and finds one that seems to be the job they are looking for, they can click on the summary of the job information, and the details of that job information will be displayed on the right side of the content display section 29.

[0064] When the user wishes to apply for the selected job information, the user selects the apply button 33 displayed in the content display section 29. When the apply button 33 is clicked, an application information input screen 34 is displayed, as shown in Figure 6, where application information can be entered.

[0065] The application information input screen 34 displays a candidate (user) overview 35, the job information for which the user is applying, and an interview setting screen 36 for setting potential interview dates. The user can check whether their own information is up to date by selecting a details confirmation button 37. In addition, a cancel application button 38 and an apply button 39 are provided below the application information input screen 34.

[0066] As shown in Figure 6, the interview setting screen 36 allows the user to select multiple available dates and times for the interview in a calendar display. Figure 6 shows that three dates and times are available for the interview. In this way, selecting multiple candidate interview dates makes it easier to arrange the interview with the accepting organization. Note that the user and the accepting organization can also use the chat function on a chat screen (not shown) to coordinate the interview schedule. In this case, the chat is displayed on the user terminal 20 in the language specified by the user using an automatic translation function, and the chat is displayed on the accepting organization terminal 10 in the language specified by the accepting organization. Note that the above application procedures can also be performed by an assistant using the assistant terminal 60.

[0067] Next, we will explain how an accepting organization responds to an application from a user. When a user applies, the accepting organization terminal 10 is notified that the user has applied for a job posting. The accepting organization can view the application information input screen 34 and confirm the user's proposed interview date and time.

[0068] If the accepting organization is able to conduct the interview on the date and time proposed by the user, it will decide the interview date and time by selecting and deciding the time slot for the interview. Once the interview date and time have been decided, the decision will be notified to the user terminal 20. If the accepting organization is unable to conduct the interview on the date and time proposed by the user, it will cancel the proposed interview date and time on the application information input screen 34, select an available date and time on the calendar display on the accepting organization's side, and contact the user to arrange the interview date and time.

[0069] Recruitment interviews can be conducted multiple times, such as a first interview, a second interview, and a third interview (final interview). These interviews can be conducted face-to-face or online. In the support system 1 of this embodiment, these multiple interviews can also be conducted smoothly using the interview adjustment function of the application information input screen 34.

[0070] In the support system 1 of this embodiment, the matching unit 73 of the server device 70 can carry out the above-mentioned recruitment, application, interview, etc., and can match accepting organizations with users.

[0071] In this way, when an accepting organization accepts a user matched by the matching unit 73, the accepting organization issues a certificate of job offer and a statement of employment conditions 79 to the user as notification of the job offer, and notifies the user of the job offer along with these documents. Here, if the user applies for a job using the user terminal 20, electronic data of the certificate of job offer and statement of employment conditions 79 can be sent to the user terminal 20. This certificate of job offer and statement of employment conditions 79 contains information about the accepting organization that has made the job offer, such as the name, address, and telephone number of the accepting organization.

[0072] On the other hand, if the user's application is not made using the user terminal 20 but from the assistant terminal 60, the assistant terminal 60 will be notified that the application has been accepted, but no notification will be sent that identifies the receiving organization, such as the name of the receiving organization.

[0073] In this way, by keeping the information identifying the accepting organization secret from the assistant in the support system 1, it is possible to prevent the individual information of the accepting organization from being spread to anyone other than personnel directly involved with the accepting organization, such as the user. In recent years, it has been anticipated that previously unforeseen nuisance behavior that could have a detrimental effect on the company may be carried out from company recruitment information, but the support system 1 of this embodiment can prevent such nuisance behavior from occurring. Furthermore, by obtaining the information about the accepting organization, the risk of the assistant leaving the support system 1 of this embodiment and starting a separate system, which would become a conflict, can be eliminated.

[0074] Furthermore, if the person who applied via assistant terminal 60 is a non-owner user who does not own a user terminal 20, the non-owner user will be notified of the job offer certificate and other documents directly to the non-owner user notification information, which is a contact point stored in user information DB 75. For example, if an email address is stored in user information DB 75 as the non-owner user notification information, documents such as the job offer certificate will be sent to that email address. If an email address is not stored, a document may be sent to the address of the unused user.

[0075] Furthermore, under the Specified Skilled Worker System, it is necessary to prepare application forms including an employment conditions document 79 and an application form for a Certificate of Eligibility. In this embodiment, these documents can be prepared by the document preparation unit 72 of the server device 70.

[0076] Specifically, in the employment conditions document 79 shown in Figure 2, the necessary information can be entered into the required fields of the electronically created employment conditions document 79 form using the information stored in the accepting organization information DB 74 and the user information DB 75, and the form can be saved as electronic data or printed out to create a document.

[0077] In this embodiment, it is determined whether the data stored in the user information DB 75 was entered by the user at the user terminal 20 or by the assistant at the assistant terminal 60. This determination is made based on whether or not an assistant ID is stored in the user information DB 75.

[0078] In this way, by clarifying whether the information stored in the user information DB 75 was entered via the user terminal 20 or the assistant terminal 60, documents such as the employment terms and conditions document 79 can be handled with care.

[0079] Next, the visa application document preparation function of the support system 1 of this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 7. In the support system 1 of this embodiment, the accepting organization terminal 10 and the assistant terminal 60 can display the visa application document preparation screen 40 shown in Fig. 7.

[0080] As shown in Figure 7, the visa application document creation screen 40 can import personal information, which is user information, as well as company information, which is information about the accepting organization, in order to create visa application documents. On the personal information import screen 41 (user information import screen), it is possible to import user information such as resume, JLPT certificate, information on the front and back of the residence card, and passport information.

[0081] For example, for resumes, information that has already been digitized can be uploaded, or a paper resume can be scanned (not shown) and converted to text using the OCR function. For other documents such as JLPT certificates, residence cards, and passports, information that has already been digitized can be uploaded, or paper information can be imported electronically.

[0082] When this personal information has been imported on the personal information import screen 41, the Data Imported button 42 is clearly displayed, letting the operator know that the data has been imported. If the data has not been imported, the Data Imported button 42 is dimmed, letting the operator know that the data has not been imported.

[0083] 7, the visa application document creation screen 40 has a company information import screen 43 (accepting organization information import screen) for importing company information, which is accepting organization information, on the same screen as the personal information import screen 41. On the company information import screen 43, it is possible to import information from the accepting organization, such as employment terms and conditions, job advertisements, or responses to questionnaires. This company information import screen 43 also displays a data import complete button 44.

[0084] In the support system 1 of this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 7, a personal information import screen 41 for importing user information for the visa application documents and a company information import screen 43 for importing accepting organization information are displayed on the same screen on the visa application document creation screen 40, eliminating the need to switch screens when creating visa application documents, allowing the creation of visa application documents to be completed smoothly. While Fig. 7 shows the screens displayed on a personal computer display, in the case of a smartphone, tablet terminal, or the like, the personal information import screen 41 and company information import screen 43 may be displayed vertically rather than side by side.

[0085] When importing personal information and corporate information using the Data Imported button 42 and the Data Imported button 44, if the information written on paper is converted into text information using the OCR function, for example, if the date is (20xx year, month, day), it is unclear what the date means. In this embodiment, in such cases, character data near the position where the date was written is analyzed to estimate what the date means. This estimation may be made using a document template or AI.

[0086] After importing personal information and company information using the Data Imported button 42 and the Data Imported button 44, the documents required for the user's visa application are automatically created by selecting the Open button 45 on the visa application document creation screen 40. The created visa application documents can be edited using separate document creation software, etc. In this way, the support system 1 of this embodiment makes it easy for users to create their visa application documents.

[0087] In the above embodiment, the server device 70 is configured to have the receiving organization information DB74, user information DB75, assistant information DB76, and support organization information DB77 built in, but this is not limited to this, and each database may be stored in a storage device other than the server device 70.

[0088] In the above embodiment, the assistance program 78 is described as being stored in the server device 70, but the assistance program 78 may be installed on a personal computer or run on a cloud service. The assistance program 78 may also be stored on a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or the like, or may be uploaded to a server and made downloadable via the network N. [Explanation of symbols]
