[Figure 7] Figure 7 is a hardware configuration diagram showing an example of a computer that implements the functions of the information processing device 10. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0010] The following describes in detail, with reference to the drawings, embodiments for implementing the information processing device, information processing method, and information processing program according to the present application (hereinafter referred to as "embodiments"). Note that these embodiments do not limit the information processing device, information processing method, and information processing program according to the present application. Furthermore, the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals in each of the following embodiments, and redundant descriptions are omitted.

[0011] [1. Embodiments] The information processing realized by the information processing device of this embodiment will be explained using Figure 1. Figure 1 is a diagram showing an example of information processing according to the embodiment. In Figure 1, it is assumed that the information processing device 10, which is an example of the information processing device according to the present application, realizes the provisioning process and the like according to the embodiment.

[0012] As shown in Figure 1, the information processing system 1 according to this embodiment includes an information processing device 10, a job seeker terminal 100, and a company terminal 200. The information processing device 10, the job seeker terminal 100, and the company terminal 200 are connected to each other via wired or wireless connections through a network N (see, for example, Figure 2) so that they can communicate with each other. The network N is, for example, a WAN (Wide Area Network) such as the Internet. Note that the information processing system 1 shown in Figure 1 may include multiple information processing devices 10, multiple job seeker terminals 100, and multiple company terminals 200.

[0013] The information processing device 10 shown in Figure 1 is an information processing device that performs information processing, and can be implemented, for example, by a server device or a cloud system. For example, the information processing device 10 receives evaluation information related to company evaluations from users (for example, current or former employees of the company) and provides a service (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "evaluation service") that provides evaluation content showing said evaluation information to job seekers, etc. To give a specific example, the information processing device 10 receives evaluation information from companies that shows things like salary (for example, average annual income), work-life balance (for example, average paid leave utilization rate, average overtime hours, etc.), and workplace relationships.

[0014] In addition, the information processing apparatus 10 may provide an evaluation service including evaluation content indicating companies for which evaluation information has not yet been submitted by users.

[0015] Furthermore, the information processing apparatus 10 may have a function as a web server that provides a website related to the evaluation service. Also, the information processing apparatus 10 may be a device that distributes information to be displayed on an application related to the evaluation service installed on the job seeker terminal 100 or the company terminal 200 to the job seeker terminal 100 or the company terminal 200. Moreover, the information processing apparatus 10 may be a server that distributes the application data itself.

[0016] Also, the information processing apparatus 10 may function as a distribution device that distributes control information to the job seeker terminal 100 or the company terminal 200. Here, the control information is described, for example, by a script language such as JavaScript (registered trademark) or a style sheet language such as CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). Note that the application itself distributed from the information processing apparatus 10 may be regarded as control information.

[0017] The job seeker terminal 100 shown in FIG. 1 is an information processing apparatus used by a job seeker. For example, the job seeker terminal 100 is realized by a smartphone, a tablet-type terminal, a notebook PC (Personal Computer), a desktop PC, a mobile phone, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), or the like. Also, the job seeker terminal 100 displays information distributed by the information processing apparatus 10 or the company terminal 200 by means of a web browser or an application. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the case where the job seeker terminal 100 is a smartphone is shown.

[0018] The enterprise terminal 200 shown in FIG. 1 is an information processing device used by an administrator in an enterprise (for example, an employee in the personnel department, etc.). For example, the enterprise terminal 200 is realized by a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a notebook PC, a desktop PC, a mobile phone, a PDA, etc. Also, the enterprise terminal 200 displays the information distributed by the information processing device 10 through a web browser or an application. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the case where the enterprise terminal 200 is a notebook PC is shown.

[0019] Hereinafter, the information processing performed by the information processing device 10 will be described using FIG. 1. In the following description, it is assumed that the applicant terminal 100 is used by an applicant (applicant U1) identified by the applicant ID "UID#1". Also, in the following description, the applicant terminal 100 may be regarded as the same as applicant U1. That is, hereinafter, applicant U1 can also be read as the applicant terminal 100.

[0020] Also, in the following description, according to the administrator using the enterprise terminal 200, the enterprise terminal 200 will be described as enterprise terminals 200-1 to 200-N (N is an arbitrary natural number). For example, the enterprise terminal 200-1 is a terminal device used by an administrator (administrator M1) in enterprise #1 identified by the enterprise ID "CID#1". Also, the enterprise terminal 200-2 is a terminal device used by an administrator (administrator M2) in enterprise #2 identified by the enterprise ID "CID#2". Also, the enterprise terminal 200-3 is a terminal device used by an administrator (administrator M3) in enterprise #3 identified by the enterprise ID "CID#3". Also, hereinafter, when the enterprise terminals 200-1 to 200-N are described without particular distinction, they will be described as the enterprise terminal 200.

[0021] Also, in the following description, it is assumed that enterprises #1 and #2 are recruiting through an evaluation service, and enterprise #3 is not recruiting.

[0022] First, the information processing device 10 determines the degree of compatibility between a company and job seeker U1 based on the evaluation of the company and information about job seeker U1 (step S1). For example, the information processing device 10 determines the degree of compatibility between companies #1, #2, #3, ... and job seeker U1 based on the evaluation information of companies #1, #2, #3, ... and job seeker U1's browsing history of evaluation content. To give a specific example, if the proportion of evaluation content viewed by job seeker U1 in the evaluation service that pertains to companies with an average annual salary above a predetermined threshold is above a certain level, the information processing device 10 determines that companies with higher average annual salaries are a better match for job seeker U1 (in other words, they have a higher degree of compatibility).

[0023] Furthermore, the information processing device 10 may use AI (Artificial Intelligence) to determine the degree of compatibility between the company and the job seeker U1. Alternatively, the information processing device 10 may use a model trained to output the degree of compatibility between the company and the job seeker U1 when an evaluation of the company and information about the job seeker U1 are input, to determine the degree of compatibility between the company and the job seeker U1.

[0024] Next, the information processing device 10 provides evaluation content to the job seeker terminal 100 in response to a request for evaluation content received from the job seeker terminal 100 (step S2). For example, the information processing device 10 provides evaluation content for each of the companies #1, #2, #3, ... in order of priority according to the degree of compatibility between companies #1, #2, #3, ... and job seeker U1. To give a specific example, the information processing device 10 provides (displays) evaluation content for the top 1 to 10 companies in terms of compatibility in the first view of the evaluation service.

[0025] Next, the information processing device 10 receives a designation from the job seeker terminal 100 for companies to publish job seeker U1's job information (step S3). For example, the information processing device 10 receives a designation from the job seeker terminal 100 for companies to publish job seeker U1's job information, such as a summary of their duties, work history, qualifications, and email address, via the reception content displayed on the evaluation content.

[0026] Here, using Figure 2, we will explain an example of evaluation content provided to job seeker U1, as well as the reception content displayed on the evaluation content. Figure 2 is a diagram showing an example of the screen of the job seeker terminal 100 according to this embodiment.

[0027] As shown in Figure 2, the job seeker terminal 100 displays evaluation content C1, which includes company evaluation information and a reception content (button) B1 for specifying companies that will publish job seeker information. When button B1 displayed on evaluation content C1 is pressed, the information processing device 10 accepts the company indicated in evaluation content C1 as a company that will publish job seeker information.

[0028] For example, using Figure 1 as an example, the information processing device 10 displays the application content on the evaluation content for companies #1 and #2, which are recruiting through the evaluation service, but does not display the application content on the evaluation content for company #3, which is not recruiting.

[0029] Let's return to Figure 1 and continue the explanation. Here, in the example in Figure 1, let's assume that job seeker U1 has designated company #1 as the company that will make his job seeker information public. In this case, the job seeker terminal 100 is configured to allow the designated company #1 to view job seeker U1's job seeker information (step S4). For example, the information processing device 10 configures the job seeker U1's job seeker information, which is managed in the device's storage unit, to be viewable by company #1.

[0030] Furthermore, the job seeker U1's job information may be the information entered by job seeker U1 on the screen displayed when the application content is clicked, or it may be the information that job seeker U1 has previously entered into the evaluation service.

[0031] Next, the information processing device 10 provides job seeker information in response to a request from the corporate terminal 200 (step S5). For example, if the information processing device 10 receives a request for job seeker information from corporate terminal 200-1, it provides job seeker information of job seeker U1 and other job seekers who have designated company #1 as the company that publishes job seeker information to corporate terminal 200-1 via the evaluation service. On the other hand, if the information processing device 10 receives a request for job seeker information from corporate terminal 200-2, it does not provide job seeker U1's job seeker information to corporate terminal 200-2.

[0032] Next, administrator M1 makes an offer to job seeker U1 (step S6). For example, if administrator M1 views job seeker U1's job information and wishes to interview job seeker U1, the company terminal 200-1 sends a message to the email address indicated in the job information.

[0033] As described above, the information processing device 10 according to the embodiment receives evaluation information regarding company evaluations from users and provides evaluation content showing said evaluation information to job seekers, etc., through an evaluation service, receives job seeker information and provides the job seeker information to companies of their choice. This enables the information processing device 10 according to the embodiment to allow job seekers to conduct job-seeking activities after understanding evaluations of companies from other users.

[0034] Furthermore, when a company typically posts a job advertisement, it can only hire job seekers who are currently looking for a new job. On the other hand, the information processing device 10 according to this embodiment allows a company to constantly maintain job seeker information regarding job seekers who are interested in the company or who are suitable for the company's duties (i.e., it can build a talent pool). Therefore, when a company wants to hire personnel, it can secure any talent from the talent pool without having to post a job advertisement.

[0035] Furthermore, in conventional job boards, well-known companies often attract a flood of job seekers. In contrast, the information processing device 10 according to this embodiment can receive evaluation information (i.e., word-of-mouth) about companies from current and former employees and provide evaluation content to job seekers. This allows the device to provide information about hidden gem companies and companies with high word-of-mouth ratings, thereby attracting job seekers to these companies. As described above, evaluation services that provide word-of-mouth about companies and services related to matching companies and job seekers are highly compatible, so the information processing device 10 according to this embodiment can provide high-quality services to job seekers and companies.

[0036] [2. Other processing examples] The process described above is merely one example, and the information processing device 10 may perform various processes using various types of information. Examples of this are listed below.

[0037] [2-1. Regarding companies that are not currently hiring] In the example shown in Figure 1, the information processing device 10 may accept a designation from job seeker U1 to designate company #3, which does not currently post job openings through the evaluation service, as a company that publishes job seeker information. For example, the information processing device 10 displays the acceptance content on the evaluation content for company #3 and accepts the designation to designate company #3 as a company that publishes job seeker information through the acceptance content. Then, when company #3 starts posting job openings, the information processing device 10 sets company #3 to be able to view job seeker U1's job seeker information.

[0038] Furthermore, the information processing device 10 may receive information from job seeker U1 indicating that they will follow company #3 in the evaluation service. In such a case, when company #3 starts recruiting, the information processing device 10 sends a predetermined message to job seeker U1 (for example, an email containing information that company #3 has started recruiting and a link to evaluation content related to company #3), and when the job seeker terminal 100 displays evaluation content related to company #3, it displays the received information on the evaluation content.

[0039] [2-2. Determining the degree of compatibility] In the process described above, an example was shown in which the degree of compatibility between a company and job seeker U1 is determined based on the company's evaluation information and the job seeker U1's browsing history of the evaluation content. However, the processing by the information processing device 10 is not limited to such an example. For example, the information processing device 10 may determine the degree of compatibility between a company and job seeker U1 based on the company's evaluation information and the job seeker information that job seeker U1 has previously entered.

[0040] Alternatively, the degree of compatibility between a company and a job seeker (U1) may be determined based on company evaluation information and information such as the job seeker's attributes (demographic and psychographic attributes), life stage, and job-seeking preferences (for example, prioritizing salary or work-life balance).

[0041] Furthermore, in the process described above, the information processing device 10 may provide evaluation content indicating the degree of compatibility between the company and the job seeker U1.

[0042] [2-3. Companies that have recently started recruiting] In the example shown in Figure 1, the information processing device 10 may prioritize providing evaluation content in the evaluation service that shows information about companies that have started recruiting within the most recent specified period (for example, within the last week). For example, the information processing device 10 provides (displays) evaluation content showing information about companies that have started recruiting within the last week in the first view of the evaluation service.

[0043] [3. Configuration of the Information Processing Device] Next, the configuration of the information processing device 10 will be described using Figure 3. Figure 3 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the information processing device 10 according to the embodiment. As shown in Figure 3, the information processing device 10 has a communication unit 20, a storage unit 30, and a control unit 40.

[0044] (Regarding Communications Section 20) The communication unit 20 is implemented, for example, by a NIC (Network Interface Card). The communication unit 20 is connected to the network N by wire or wireless connection and transmits and receives information between the job seeker terminal 100, the company terminal 200, etc.

[0045] (Regarding memory unit 30) The storage unit 30 is implemented by, for example, semiconductor memory elements such as RAM (Random Access Memory) and flash memory, or by storage devices such as hard disks and optical discs. As shown in Figure 2, the storage unit 30 has a job seeker information database 31 and a company information database 32.

[0046] (Regarding the Job Seeker Information Database 31) The job seeker information database 31 stores various types of information about job seekers. Here, an example of the information stored in the job seeker information database 31 will be explained using Figure 4. Figure 4 is a diagram showing an example of the job seeker information database 31 according to this embodiment. In the example in Figure 4, the job seeker information database 31 has items such as "Job Seeker ID", "Browsing History", "Job Seeker Information", and "Specified Information".

[0047] "Job Seeker ID" indicates identification information used to identify the job seeker. "Browsing History" indicates the browsing history of evaluation content in the evaluation service. "Job Seeker Information" indicates job seeker information entered by the job seeker. "Designated Information" indicates information about the company designated by the job seeker as the company that will publish the job seeker information, and stores information such as identification information (company ID) that identifies the company.

[0048] In other words, Figure 4 shows an example where the browsing history of a job seeker identified by the job seeker ID "UID#1" is "Browsing History#1", the job seek information is "Job Seeker Information#1", and the designated information is "Designated Information#1".

[0049] (Regarding Corporate Information Database 32) The company information database 32 stores various types of information about companies. Here, an example of the information stored in the company information database 32 will be explained using Figure 5. Figure 5 is a diagram showing an example of the company information database 32 according to the embodiment. In the example in Figure 5, the company information database 32 has items such as "Company ID," "Evaluation Information," "Job Posting Information," and "Public Job Posting Information."

[0050] "Company ID" indicates identification information used to identify a company. "Rating Information" indicates user ratings of the company. "Job Posting Information" indicates information about job postings at a company, such as whether the company is currently hiring and information about working conditions. "Public Job Seeker Information" indicates information about job seekers that are made public to companies, such as the identification information of job seekers who have designated their job seeker information to be made public to the company.

[0051] In other words, Figure 5 shows an example where the evaluation information of a company identified by the company ID "CID#1" is "Evaluation Information #1", the job posting information is "Job Posting Information #1", and the publicly available job posting information is "Publicly Available Job Posting Information #1".

[0052] (Regarding the control unit 40) The control unit 40 is a controller, and is realized, for example, by a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or MPU (Micro Processing Unit) executing various programs stored in the memory device inside the information processing device 10 using RAM as a working area. Alternatively, the control unit 40 is a controller, and is realized, for example, by an integrated circuit such as an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) or FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array). As shown in Figure 3, the control unit 40 according to this embodiment has a determination unit 41, a provision unit 42, a reception unit 43, a setting unit 44, and a transmission unit 45, and realizes or executes the information processing functions and operations described below.

[0053] (Regarding the determination unit 41) The determination unit 41 determines the degree of compatibility between a company and a job seeker based on the evaluation of the company and information about the job seeker. For example, in the example in Figure 1, the determination unit 41 refers to the job seeker information database 31 and the company information database 32 and determines the degree of compatibility between the company and job seeker U1 based on the evaluation of the company and information about job seeker U1. To give a specific example, the determination unit 41 determines the degree of compatibility between the company and job seeker U1 based on the evaluation information of the company and information such as the attributes, life stage, and job-seeking preferences of job seeker U1.

[0054] Furthermore, the determination unit 41 may determine the degree of compatibility between a company and a job seeker based on the evaluation of the company and the job seeker's browsing history of the evaluation content. For example, in the example in Figure 1, the determination unit 41 determines the degree of compatibility between companies #1, #2, #3, ... and job seeker U1 based on the evaluation information of companies #1, #2, #3, ... and the job seeker U1's browsing history of the evaluation content.

[0055] Furthermore, the determination unit 41 may determine the degree of compatibility between the company and the job seeker based on the evaluation of the company and the job seeker information. For example, in the example in Figure 1, the determination unit 41 determines the degree of compatibility between the company and the job seeker U1 based on the evaluation information of the company and the job seeker U1 that has been previously entered by the job seeker U1.

[0056] (Regarding Section 42) The provisioning unit 42 provides evaluation content that can receive evaluations of companies from users. For example, in the example in Figure 1, the provisioning unit 42 receives evaluation information regarding the evaluation of a company from users, such as current or former employees of the company, and provides evaluation content that displays said evaluation information.

[0057] Furthermore, the provisioning unit 42 may provide evaluation content that includes reception content, which is content displayed on the evaluation content and is for receiving designations of companies that will publish job seeker information. For example, in the example in Figure 1, the provisioning unit 42 provides evaluation information of companies, as well as evaluation content C1 including reception content (B1) for receiving designations of companies that will publish job seeker information.

[0058] Furthermore, the provisioning unit 42 may provide evaluation content indicating the degree of compatibility between the company and the job seeker as determined by the determination unit 41. For example, in the example in Figure 1, the provisioning unit 42 provides evaluation content indicating the degree of compatibility between the company and the job seeker U1.

[0059] Furthermore, the provisioning unit 42 may provide evaluation content that shows information about companies based on priority according to the degree of compatibility. For example, in the example in Figure 1, the provisioning unit 42 provides evaluation content for each of companies #1, #2, #3, ... with priority according to the degree of compatibility between companies #1, #2, #3, ... and job seeker U1.

[0060] Furthermore, the provisioning unit 42 may provide evaluation content that shows information about companies that have started recruiting within the most recent specified period. For example, in the example in Figure 1, the provisioning unit 42 provides evaluation content that shows information about companies that have started recruiting within the most recent week in the first view of the evaluation service.

[0061] (Regarding Reception Desk 43) The reception unit 43 receives from job seekers, via the evaluation content provided by the provision unit 42, the designation of companies that will publish the job seeker's job information. For example, in the example in Figure 1, the reception unit 43 receives the designation of companies that will publish job seeker U1's job information, including a summary of their duties, work history, qualifications, and email address, via the reception content displayed on the evaluation content.

[0062] (Regarding setting section 44) The configuration unit 44 sets which companies designated by the job seeker are able to view the job seeker's information. For example, in the example in Figure 1, if job seeker U1 designates company #1 as a company that will make its job seeker information public, the configuration unit 44 sets designated company #1 to be able to view job seeker U1's job seeker information.

[0063] Furthermore, if a job seeker designates a company that is not currently recruiting, the setting unit 44 may configure the system so that the company can view the job seeker's information when the company starts recruiting. For example, in the example in Figure 1, if the setting unit 44 receives a designation that company #3, which is not currently recruiting through the evaluation service, should be a company that makes job seeker information public, the setting unit 44 will configure the system so that company #3 can view the job seeker's information when company #3 starts recruiting.

[0064] (Regarding the transmitting unit 45) If a company that is not currently hiring is designated by a job seeker, the transmitting unit 45 sends a predetermined message to the job seeker when that company starts hiring. For example, in the example in Figure 1, if the transmitting unit 45 receives information from job seeker U1 that they will follow company #3 in the evaluation service, when company #3 starts hiring, it sends a predetermined message to job seeker U1 (for example, an email containing information that company #3 has started hiring and links to evaluation content related to company #3).

[0065] [4. Information Processing Flow] The information processing procedure of the information processing device 10 according to the embodiment will be explained using Figure 6. Figure 6 is a flowchart of an example of the information processing procedure according to the embodiment.

[0066] As shown in Figure 6, the information processing device 10 provides evaluation content that allows users to submit evaluations of companies (step S101). Next, the information processing device 10 determines whether or not it has received a designation of a company to publish job-seeking information (step S102). If no company designation has been received (step S102; No), the information processing device 10 terminates the process.

[0067] On the other hand, if the system accepts the designation of a company (step S102; Yes), the information processing device 10 sets the designated company to be able to view the job seeker information (step S103) and terminates the process.

[0068] [5. Variations] The above-described embodiment is merely an example, and various modifications and applications are possible.

[0069] [5-1. Regarding the probability of job seekers being hired] In the embodiments described above, the providing unit 42 may provide evaluation content that indicates the probability that a company will hire a job seeker. For example, the providing unit 42 estimates the probability that a job seeker will be hired based on the similarity between information about employees previously hired by the company (such as the job seeker's job seeker information) and information about the job seeker (such as the job seeker's job seeker information), and provides evaluation content that indicates the estimated probability. Alternatively, the providing unit 42 estimates the probability that a job seeker will be hired based on the similarity between information about users who posted company evaluation information (in other words, users who are current or former employees of the company) (for example, job seeker information) and information about the job seeker, and provides evaluation content that indicates the estimated probability.

[0070] [5-2. Display of submitted content] In the above-described embodiment, the provisioning unit 42 may not display the application content in the evaluation content for companies that are recruiting through the evaluation service if certain conditions are met. For example, if the degree of compatibility between the company and the job seeker is below a predetermined threshold, or if the evaluation of the company is below a predetermined threshold, the provisioning unit 42 may not display the application content in the evaluation content for that company.

[0071] [5-3. Regarding the narrowing down of evaluation content] In the embodiment described above, the provisioning unit 42 may provide evaluation content about companies that match the search criteria specified by the job seeker. For example, if a job seeker specifies companies that are recruiting through the evaluation service as a search criterion, the provisioning unit 42 provides evaluation content about companies that are recruiting.

[0072] [5-4. Regarding the processing method] Of the processes described in the above embodiments, all or part of the processes described as being performed automatically can be performed manually, and conversely, all or part of the processes described as being performed manually can be performed automatically by known methods. In addition, the processing procedures, specific names, and information including various data and parameters shown in the above text and drawings can be arbitrarily changed unless otherwise specified. For example, the various information shown in each figure is not limited to the information shown.

[0073] Furthermore, the components of each illustrated device are functionally conceptual and do not necessarily need to be physically configured as shown. In other words, the specific forms of distribution and integration of each device are not limited to those shown, and all or part of them can be functionally or physically distributed and integrated in any unit according to various loads and usage conditions.

[0074] Furthermore, the embodiments described above can be combined as appropriate, provided that the processing content is not contradictory.

[0075] [6. Effects] As described above, the information processing device 10 according to the embodiment includes a determination unit 41, a provision unit 42, a reception unit 43, a setting unit 44, and a transmission unit 45. The determination unit 41 determines the degree of compatibility between a company and a job seeker based on an evaluation of the company and information about the job seeker. The determination unit 41 also determines the degree of compatibility between a company and a job seeker based on an evaluation of the company and the job seeker's browsing history in the evaluation content. The determination unit 41 also determines the degree of compatibility between a company and a job seeker based on an evaluation of the company and job seeker information. The provision unit 42 provides evaluation content that can receive evaluations of companies from users. The provision unit 42 also provides evaluation content that includes reception content, which is content displayed on the evaluation content and is for receiving the designation of companies to publish job seeker information. The provision unit 42 also provides evaluation content that indicates the degree of compatibility between the company and the job seeker determined by the determination unit 41.

[0081] [7. Hardware Configuration] Furthermore, the information processing device 10 according to each embodiment described above can be implemented by a computer 1000 having a configuration such as that shown in Figure 7. The following explanation will use the information processing device 10 as an example. Figure 7 is a hardware configuration diagram showing an example of a computer that implements the functions of the information processing device 10. The computer 1000 has a CPU 1100, ROM 1200, RAM 1300, HDD 1400, communication interface (I / F) 1500, input / output interface (I / F) 1600, and media interface (I / F) 1700.

[0082] The CPU 1100 operates based on programs stored in the ROM 1200 or HDD 1400, and controls various parts. The ROM 1200 stores boot programs executed by the CPU 1100 when the computer 1000 starts up, as well as programs that depend on the computer 1000's hardware.

[0083] The HDD 1400 stores programs executed by the CPU 1100, as well as data used by such programs. The communication interface 1500 receives data from other devices via the communication network 500 (corresponding to network N in this embodiment) and sends it to the CPU 1100, and also transmits data generated by the CPU 1100 to other devices via the communication network 500.

[0084] The CPU 1100 controls output devices such as displays and printers, and input devices such as keyboards and mice, via the input / output interface 1600. The CPU 1100 acquires data from input devices via the input / output interface 1600. The CPU 1100 also outputs the data it generates to output devices via the input / output interface 1600.

[0085] The media interface 1700 reads a program or data stored in the recording medium 1800 and provides it to the CPU 1100 via the RAM 1300. The CPU 1100 loads the program from the recording medium 1800 onto the RAM 1300 via the media interface 1700 and executes the loaded program. The recording medium 1800 is, for example, an optical recording medium such as a DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) or PD (Phase Change Rewritable Disk), a magneto-optical recording medium such as an MO (Magneto-Optical disk), a tape medium, a magnetic recording medium, or a semiconductor memory.

[0086] For example, when computer 1000 functions as information processing device 10, the CPU 1100 of computer 1000 realizes the functions of control unit 40 by executing programs loaded on RAM 1300. The HDD 1400 stores the data in the storage device of information processing device 10. The CPU 1100 of computer 1000 reads and executes these programs from the recording medium 1800, but as another example, these programs may be obtained from other devices via a predetermined communication network.

[0087] [8.
