[0023] Figure 3 shows a processing sequence diagram for account registration. In Figure 3, the first user terminal 3A is, for example, a local government terminal 31, the second user terminal 3B is a school terminal 32 or a community organization terminal 33, and the third user terminal 3C is a community personnel terminal 34 or an activity participant terminal. The first user terminal 3A may approve the registration request from the third user terminal 3C.

[0024] As shown in Figure 3, the first user terminal 3A sends a registration request for a management account to the activity support device 2 (step S101). The registration request includes the account type, region (prefecture, city, town, etc.), organization name, user name, and desired functions. In step S101, the registration request selects "local government" as the account type. The activity support device 2 performs an approval process for the registration request, issues a first management account based on the information included in the registration request, and stores it in memory 202 (step S102). The activity support device 2 sends the issued first management account to the first user terminal 3A (step S103). The first user terminal 3A functions as a local government terminal 31 in the activity support system 1 by using the first management account.

[0025] In Figure 3, the second user terminal 3B includes a school terminal 32 operated by the school administrator. The second user terminal 3B sends a request to the activity support device 2 for registration of an administrator account (step S104). In step S104, the registration request selects "school" as the account type and the area under the jurisdiction of the local government of the first user terminal 3A. If the area under the jurisdiction of the local government is a wide area such as a prefecture, this area includes narrower areas such as cities, towns, villages, or school districts within that prefecture. The activity support device 2 sends an approval request for the registration request from user terminal 3B to user terminal 3A (step S105). The first user terminal 3A performs an approval process for the approval request and sends the approval result to the activity support device 2 (step S106). Here, the approval process is performed according to the criteria set by the local government of the first user terminal 3A. The activity support device 2 receives the approval result, issues a second administrator account based on the information included in the registration request, and stores it in memory 202, linked to the first administrator account. The activity support device 2 transmits the issued second management account to the second user terminal 3B (step S107). The second user terminal 3B functions as a school terminal 32 in the activity support system 1 by using the second management account.

[0026] In Figure 3, the third user terminal 3C includes an activity terminal 35 operated by a club activity participant at a school. The third user terminal 3C sends a registration request for an activity account to the activity support device 2 (step S108). In step S108, the registration request selects "activity participant" as the account type, the region under the jurisdiction of the local government of the first user terminal 3A is selected, and the name of the organization (school name) corresponding to the school of the user terminal 3B is selected. The activity support device 2 issues an activity account (administrator account) based on the information included in the registration request and stores it in memory 202 (step S109). The activity support device 2 sends the issued activity account to the third user terminal 3C (step S110). The third user terminal 3C functions as an activity terminal 35 in the activity support system 1 by using the activity account.

[0027] In Figure 3, the second user terminal 3B includes a community organization terminal 33 operated by the administrator of the community organization. In step S104, the second user terminal 3B sends a registration request to the activity support device 2 in which community organization is selected as the account type and the region under the jurisdiction of the first user terminal 3A is selected. This region includes narrower areas such as cities, towns, villages, or school districts within a prefecture if the region under the jurisdiction of the local government is a wide area such as a prefecture. The activity support device 2 sends an approval request for the registration request from user terminal 3B to the first user terminal 3A (step S105), the first user terminal 3A sends the result of the approval process to the activity support device 2 (step S106), the activity support device 2 receives the approval result, issues a third management account based on the information included in the registration request, and stores it in memory 202 linked to the first management account. The activity support device 2 sends the issued third management account to the second user terminal 3B (step S107). The second user terminal 3B functions as a community group terminal 33 in the activity support system 1 by using a third management account. The school terminal 32 and the community group terminal 33 coexist in the activity support system 1, and multiple instances of each may exist.

[0028] In Figure 3, the third user terminal 3C includes a local personnel terminal 34 operated by local personnel. In step S108, the third user terminal 3C selects "local personnel" as the account type and sends a registration request for a local personnel account to the activity support device 2, in which the region under the jurisdiction of the first user terminal 3A has been selected. In this embodiment, the registration request for the local personnel account is approved by the first user terminal 3A. The activity support device 2 sends an approval request for the registration request from the third user terminal 3C to the first user terminal 3A. The first user terminal 3A performs the approval process for the approval request and sends the approval result to the activity support device 2. The activity support device 2 receives the approval result, issues a local personnel account (managed account) based on the information contained in the registration request, stores it in memory 202, and sends the issued local personnel account to the third user terminal 3C. As a result, the registration of the local personnel account is approved in accordance with the criteria set by the local government. Furthermore, whether or not approval by the first user terminal 3A is required for the issuance of a local talent account can be set according to the authority of the local government. If approval is not required, the activity support device 2 can approve the registration request and issue a local talent account, similar to steps S108 to S110.

[0029] The first registration unit 21 approves the registration request for a management account and registers the management account. In this embodiment, the management account includes a first management account issued upon approval of a registration request from a local government, a second management account issued upon approval of a registration request from a school, and a third management account issued upon approval of a registration request from a community organization. In this embodiment, the first management account has the second and third management accounts under its control and has the authority to manage the management accounts under its control.

[0030] The first registration unit 21 approves the registration request for an administrative account from the local government and registers the first administrative account. The first registration unit 21 registers the second administrative account when the first administrative account approves the registration request for an administrative account from the school. The first registration unit 21 registers the third administrative account when the first administrative account approves the registration request for an administrative account from the local organization.

[0031] In this embodiment, the first management account can be assigned to both a higher-level local government and a lower-level local government. The higher-level local government includes prefectures, and the lower-level local government includes cities, towns, and villages. The higher-level local government has the authority to approve registration requests for the first management account from lower-level local governments. The first registration unit 21 can register a second management account by approving registration requests for management accounts from lower-level local governments using the first management account granted by the higher-level local government.

[0032] The first registration unit 21 approves the registration request for a management account from the facility manager and registers the fourth management account. The facility manager includes organizations or individuals that manage facilities, such as local governments, schools, and private companies. The fourth management account may also be registered by approval from the first management account. If the facility manager is a local government, the first management account may be used as a substitute for the fourth management account, and if the facility manager is a school, the second management account may be used as a substitute for the fourth management account. In this case, the first and second management accounts are set with the functional permissions related to facility rentals, as described later.

[0033] The second registration unit 22 approves the registration request for a managed account and registers the managed account. In this embodiment, managed accounts include local talent accounts issued upon approval by the first management account for registration requests from local talent, and activity member accounts issued upon approval for registration requests from club activity members. In this embodiment, managed accounts are subordinate to at least one management account. A managed account is subordinate to the first management account, and if approved by the second and third management accounts, it will also be subordinate to them. A managed account does not have to belong to any management account, and may be registered without approval from a management account.

[0034] The second registration unit 22 receives registration requests for regional human resource accounts from the regional human resource terminal 34 via the first management account. The registration request for a regional human resource account includes the account type, region, organization name, user name, and further, the human resource provision conditions. These conditions include the subjects / skills that can be taught, the regions where instruction is possible, the target audience, qualifications (including driver's licenses, teaching licenses, instructor qualifications, and other certificates), available activity hours, whether or not the instructor can accompany students on expeditions, teaching experience, registration requirements, and self-introduction. The target audience includes elementary, junior high, and high schools, as well as grade levels and gender. Registration requirements are items set by the local government to permit the registration of a regional human resource account, such as a certificate of completion of instructor training conducted by the local government. The second registration unit 22 registers the regional human resource account upon approval by the first management account. The second registration unit 22 may also update a registered regional human resource account by receiving update requests from the regional human resource terminal 34 for certain items of the human resource provision conditions. In this case, the second registration unit 22 is not required to obtain approval from the first management account for requests to update personnel provision conditions.

[0035] The activity support device 2 can obtain the implementation history of instructor training related to registration requirements from an external system. The implementation history of instructor training includes viewing history of various content for instructors and the results of training comprehension tests. In this embodiment, the activity support device 2 can issue a certificate of completion of instructor training to the local human resource terminal 34 based on the results of the comprehension test. The implementation history may also include certificates of completion of instructor training issued by an external system, and the activity support device 2 may be configured to obtain such certificates and reflect them in the registration requirements.

[0036] The authorization setting unit 24 grants various permissions to the management account. The authorization setting unit 24 grants approval authority to the first management account. Approval authority is the authority to approve registration requests from the first, second, and third management accounts under the first management account. The authorization setting unit 24 grants functional permissions to the first to third management accounts. Functional permissions are functions that each management account is permitted to use in the activity support system 1. The authorization setting unit 24 sets functional permissions based on the desired functions included in the registration request from each user terminal 3. The authorization setting unit 24 may also have the authority to grant functional permissions to management accounts and managed accounts that belong under the management account.

[0037] Figure 4 shows an example of setting functional permissions in this embodiment. The functions included in functional permissions include permission granting, setting parent / child groups, information sharing within groups, recruitment, permission to view personal information before matching, registrant management, event recruitment, group account management, notification function (registrant management / event recruitment / group account management), display in club search (registrant management / event recruitment), account approval / editing (group account management), facility rental, facility reservation, etc. In Figure 4, "○" indicates that functional permissions are on, and "×" indicates that functional permissions are off. The functional permissions required for each management account differ depending on the standards of the local government and the type of account. The permission setting unit 24 can grant functions to the first to third management accounts within an appropriate range by setting different functional permissions for each management account. In Figure 4, the system administrator represents the overall administrator of the activity support system 1, the prefecture, city A, and city B represent the first administrator, the school represents the second management account, and the local club represents the third management account. Note that the setting of functional permissions is not limited to those shown in Figure 4.

[0038] The group registration unit 23 selects multiple management accounts to set up a management group. Management groups are classified into parent groups and child groups belonging to them. Management accounts belonging to a management group can share information with each other. For example, a parent group may be set up as a group containing multiple first management accounts from a higher-level local government, and its child group may be set up as a group containing multiple first management accounts from lower-level local governments. This allows local government employees to efficiently carry out their work while sharing information with each other.

[0039] The authorization setting unit 24 can grant functional permissions to management groups in bulk. For example, the authorization setting unit 24 can allow a system administrator to grant the same functional permissions in bulk to a management group that includes the first management account of a subordinate municipality, which is under the first management account of a superior municipality.

[0040] Figure 5 shows a flowchart illustrating the matching process for recruiting personnel, providing personnel, and recruiting for club activities.

[0041] First, we will explain the process of matching recruiting and providing personnel. In process S201, the posting management unit 25 obtains requests to post recruitment information from the first to third management accounts (hereinafter referred to as management accounts) or the regional personnel account. The recruitment information includes information related to personnel recruitment by the second management account (personnel recruitment information) and information related to personnel provision by the regional personnel account (personnel provision information).

[0042] Recruitment information includes details such as region, sport, target students (elementary school, middle school, high school, etc.), recruitment dates, and required qualifications and experience. Personnel information includes region, sport, target audience, available dates and times, qualifications, and experience. This personnel information may reflect some or all of the personnel requirements of a regional personnel account.

[0043] In process S202, the posting management unit 25 sends an approval request for posting the recruitment information to the first management account, which is the administrator of the management account or regional talent account that sent the request to post the recruitment information.

[0044] In step S203, if the posting management unit 25 receives approval from the first management account (YES in step S203), it posts the approved recruitment information (step S204). The posting management unit 25 provides the approved recruitment information to at least the regional personnel account. The posting management unit 25 also provides the approved personnel provision information to at least the management account. In this embodiment, the posting management unit 25 may post the personnel provision information without requiring an approval request.

[0045] The posting management unit 25 can restrict the posting of recruitment information based on posting control information. Posting control information is set for at least one item selected from region, sport, target audience, recruitment date and time, and required qualifications / experience. Regions can be set to prefectures, cities, towns, or school districts. Sport is classified into categories such as sports or cultural activities, and posting restriction information can be set by selecting these classifications. Furthermore, posting control information can be set for each management account and managed account, and it is also possible to set a higher-level management account to allow its subordinate accounts (management accounts and managed accounts) to post (view) recruitment information created by those accounts, while restricting the posting of recruitment information by accounts that are not subordinates.

[0046] The following explains an example of when a region is set in the posting control information. The posting management unit 25 can restrict the posting of recruitment information according to the region set in the management account. If the region set by the first management account is a prefecture, the posting management unit 25 can allow the first management account to view (post) recruitment information belonging to that prefecture, or recruitment information posted by management accounts and managed accounts under the first management account. Furthermore, if the region set by the second management account is a city, town, village, or school district, the posting management unit 25 can allow the second management account to view personnel provision information belonging to that region, as well as personnel recruitment information created by the second management account itself.

[0047] If the posting management unit 25 does not approve the posting from the first management account (NO in process S203), it will not post the posting information. In this case, the posting management unit 25 may obtain a comment from the first management account to modify the posting information and send it to the management account or regional talent account that is the source of the posting request. The posting management unit 25 may then obtain a posting request for the modified posting information again from the management account or regional talent account.

[0048] In process S205, the matching processing unit 26 obtains application requests for recruitment information from the management account or the regional talent account. The application requests include requests from the regional talent account for recruitment information from the management account and requests from the management account for talent provision information from the regional talent account.

[0049] In step S206, the matching processing unit 26 processes an approval request for an application from the management account or the regional personnel account. If the matching processing unit 26 receives approval from the management account for an application request from the regional personnel account regarding the recruitment information (YES in step S206), it matches the management account and the regional personnel account (step S207). If the matching processing unit 26 receives approval from the regional personnel account for an application request from the management account regarding the personnel provision information (YES in step S206), it matches the management account and the regional personnel account (step S207). The matching processing unit 26 can also be configured to match the management account and the regional personnel account without requiring approval for the application request. The matching processing unit 26 links the matched management account and the regional personnel account and stores them in memory 202.

[0050] The matching processing unit 26 controls the exchange of information, such as messages, between matched accounts. The matching processing unit 26 can also grant matching accounts permission to view information in permitted areas of their account information. For example, in the case of recruiting local talent at a school, a second management account and a local talent account are matched, and recruitment activities can proceed through the exchange of information between the parties.

[0051] Next, we will explain the matching process for club activity recruitment.

[0052] In process S201, the posting management unit 25 receives a request to post information (activity recruitment information) related to club activity recruitment from the third management account. The activity recruitment information includes the activity type, title, activity overview, sport, activity date and time, region, activity location, target grade level, recruitment capacity, recruitment method, recruitment deadline, and membership fee. When the activity type (one-time activity or ongoing activity) is set, the activity date and time corresponding to the activity type is set. For one-time activities, the activity date and time is set, for example, one or more predetermined dates and times. For ongoing activities, the activity date and time is set, for example, one or more days of the week or dates and time slots.

[0053] The listing management unit 25 refers to the club activity rules information and restricts the items included in the recruitment information by the third management account. The club activity rules information includes information that specifies the rules that must be followed in club activities by the national government, local government, etc. The club activity rules information includes rules regarding rest days, which must be set for a certain number of days per week, for example, a rule that two rest days per week must be set. If the activity dates and times included in the activity recruitment information for continuous or one-time activities exceed the number of rest days set in the club activity rules information, the listing management unit 25 restricts the number of days that can be selected for the activity dates and times. If the conditions set in the club activity rules information are not met, the listing management unit 25 can prohibit the request to publish the recruitment information and output a message to the third management account requesting a review of the conditions. The club activity rules information will also be referenced in the matching processing unit 26 described later. The club activity rules information will also be referenced in the matching processing unit 26 described later. The club activity rules information will also be referenced in the matching processing unit 26 described later. The club activity rules information will also be referenced in the matching processing unit 26 described later.

[0054] In process S202, the posting management unit 25 can send an approval request for posting the recruitment information to the first management account, which is the administrator of the third management account.

[0055] In step S203, if the posting management unit 25 receives approval from the first management account (YES in step S203), it posts the approved recruitment information (step S204). The posting management unit 25 provides the approved activity recruitment information to at least the activity user account. The posting management unit 25 may also allow the first management account to view the activity recruitment information.

[0056] The posting management unit 25 can restrict the posting of activity recruitment information according to the posting restriction information and the region set in the third management account. If the region set by the first management account is a prefecture, the posting management unit 25 can allow the first management account to view activity recruitment information belonging to that prefecture or activity recruitment information posted by the third management account under the first management account. In addition, if the region set by the activity user account is a city, town, village, or school district, for example, the posting management unit 25 can allow the activity user account to view activity recruitment information belonging to that region.

[0057] If the posting management unit 25 does not approve the posting from the first management account (NO in process S203), it will not post the posting information. In this case, the posting management unit 25 may obtain a comment from the first management account to modify the posting information and send it to the second management account or the local talent account that will be the source of the posting request. The posting management unit 25 may then obtain a posting request for the modified posting information again from the third management account.

[0058] In step S205, the matching processing unit 26 obtains application requests for recruitment information from a third management account. The application requests include requests from activity user accounts for activity recruitment information from the third management account.

[0059] In step S206, the matching processing unit 26 performs approval processing for application requests from the activity user account. If the matching processing unit 26 receives approval from the third management account for the application request from the activity user account regarding the activity recruitment information (YES in step S206), it matches the third management account and the activity user account (step S207). The matching processing unit 26 may also match the application request from the activity user account without requiring approval from the third management account. The matching processing unit 26 links the matched third management account and activity user account and stores them in memory 202. The matching processing unit 26 may restrict the approval of application requests based on the total number of days of club activities in a predetermined period associated with the activity user account. The total number of days of club activities for the activity user account is the sum of the number of activity days in school club activities and the number of activity days in community group club activities. For example, if the matching processing unit 26 approves an application request from an activity user account in response to activity recruitment information, and as a result the total number of days of club activities for that activity user account exceeds the rest days set in the club activity rules information, it may deny the approval of the match.

[0060] Local clubs (community organizations) conduct club activities regardless of whether it is a weekday or a holiday. On the other hand, school club activities are mainly held on weekdays, and opportunities for club activities on holidays are decreasing. According to this disclosure, for example, it is possible to support club participants in regularly or irregularly participating in club activities of organizations other than their usual school club, thereby providing opportunities for club activities. Here, organizations other than the usual school club include not only local clubs but also club activities of other schools.

[0061] The club activity management system is an external system that provides various club management functions for local clubs and school clubs, such as member management, communication, schedule management, attendance confirmation, activity records, and fee collection. The matching processing unit 26 can send information on matched activity participant accounts and activity recruitment information to the club activity management system. The club activity management system acquires this information and applies it to member management, schedule management, attendance confirmation, etc., enabling easy acceptance and management of external club participants.

[0062] Figure 6 shows a flowchart illustrating the process involved in matching facility reservations.

[0063] In process S301, the listing management unit 25 receives a request to list information related to facility use recruitment (facility use recruitment information) from the facility manager's management account (facility management account). Depending on the type of administrator, such as a local government, school, or private company, the facility management account can use a first management account, a second management account, and a fourth management account. The facility use recruitment information includes the name of the facility to be rented, the equipment to be rented (rooms, courts, etc.), the dates on which it can be rented, and the items that can be rented.

[0064] In process S302, the posting management unit 25 posts facility usage recruitment information. The matching processing unit 26 can refer to the facility schedule information of the target facility and post only the available rental dates as facility usage recruitment information. The matching processing unit 26 can refer to the facility schedule information of the target facility and post only the available rental dates as facility usage recruitment information.

[0065] In process S303, the matching processing unit 26 obtains a reservation request for facility use recruitment information from a facility management account. The reservation request is made by a facility user account (facility user account) and includes information such as the desired equipment, desired reservation date, and desired items. Facility user accounts include the first management account, second management account, third management account, local personnel account, activity participant account, guest account, and general account for facility reservations.

[0066] In step S304, the matching processing unit 26 performs approval processing for reservation requests from facility user accounts. Based on reservation requests from facility user accounts for facility usage recruitment information, the matching processing unit 26 determines the reservation of the target facility by the facility user account (step S204). The matching processing unit 26 registers the determined reservation in the facility schedule information and stores it in memory 202. This allows, for example, a school to rent out a facility such as a gymnasium, and a local group to reserve and use that facility. The determined reservation is registered in the facility schedule information and stored in memory 202. This allows, for example, a school to rent out a facility such as a gymnasium, and a local group to reserve and use that facility.

[0067] Next, we will explain the process of registering school club members as club members in local clubs. School clubs are what are commonly known as school clubs, and club members are those club members. According to this embodiment, it is possible to efficiently manage club members in conjunction with club members in local organizations. Figure 7 shows a flowchart of the process related to the collaboration between schools (school clubs) and local organizations (local clubs).

[0068] In process S401, the second registration unit 22 registers the activity account by linking it to the second management account after the second management account approves the registration request for the activity account from the club activity participant at the school. Once the activity account and the second management account are linked, it becomes possible to exchange information such as schedules and notices for club activities and competitions between the accounts. The second management account is, for example, the account of the club advisor or teacher, and the activity account is the account of the club member. Note that the linking of these accounts may be performed in the club activity management system, and the linked account information may be acquired by the activity support device 2.

[0069] In process S402, the matching processing unit 26 obtains an application request from a second management account for recruitment information. The application request is a request from the second management account for activity recruitment information from a third management account. The application request includes information from one or more activity accounts selected from the activity accounts linked to the second management account. In other words, this application request means that the second management account (school), which is the administrator of the club activity, is applying for the club activity recruitment posted by the third management account (community organization).

[0070] Figure 8 shows an example of the application screen W10 displayed on the school terminal 32. The application screen W10 comprises a search area W11 and an activity participant selection area W12. The search area W11 is an area where the user enters items such as name, club, sport, and grade, and displays the search results for activity participant accounts linked to the second management account. The activity participant selection area W12 is an area where the user selects one or more activity participant accounts displayed as search results. The activity participant account selected here will be adopted as the activity participant account in the application request. Note that the application screen W10 may also be a screen of the club activity management system. The club activity management system can set the selected activity participant account for the application request by sharing the information of the selected activity participant account with the activity support system 1.

[0071] In step S403 of Figure 7, the matching processing unit 26 approves the application request using the third management account (YES in step S403), matching the second and third management accounts, as well as the participant accounts included in the application request with the third management account (step S207). The matching processing unit 26 may also select and approve accounts from among the multiple participant accounts included in the application request. The matching processing unit 26 links the matched participant accounts and the third management account and stores them in memory 202. This makes it possible to efficiently manage the participation status of club members between school club activities and community club activities.

[0072] In this embodiment, the process of step S401 may be performed by an external club activity management system (not shown). The activity support system 1 cooperates with the club activity management system and obtains account information registered in the club activity management system, thereby enabling members to efficiently participate in the club activities of local organizations without requiring re-registration of participant accounts in the activity support system 1.
