[0008] The embodiments will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In the description, the same elements or elements having the same function will be denoted by the same reference numeral, and redundant descriptions will be omitted.

[0009] [Industry-Academia Collaboration Support System] The industry-academia collaboration support system 1 shown in Figure 1 is a system that supports collaboration between multiple companies and multiple universities. Collaboration here is not necessarily limited to collaboration in scientific research, but also includes collaboration in student education and employee reskilling, etc. As shown in Figure 1, the industry-academia collaboration support system 1 is equipped with an industry-academia collaboration server 100. The industry-academia collaboration server 100 can communicate with multiple terminals 2 and multiple university servers 3 via a wide area network.

[0010] Each of the multiple terminals 2 is a terminal device used by individuals who use this system, such as university faculty, university students, company employees, and company managers (hereinafter referred to as "users"). Examples of terminal devices include personal computers, tablet devices, and smartphones. Each of the multiple university servers 3 is a server device that stores the results of education and research at the university. Examples of education and research results include the results of seminars held by the university. Examples of server devices include rack-mount servers, tower servers, blade servers, and cloud servers.

[0011] The industry-academia collaboration server 100 communicates with multiple terminals 2 and multiple university servers 3 to provide users with various services to support collaboration between multiple companies and multiple universities. For example, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 acquires and stores information on multiple seminars that are currently recruiting working professionals from multiple universities. Based on the stored information, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 provides multiple companies with a list of multiple seminars. The industry-academia collaboration server 100 also relays the registration, approval, and payment of participation fees for employees of multiple companies to seminars between multiple companies and multiple universities. Furthermore, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 relays the registration, approval, and payment of completion fees for employees participating in seminars between multiple companies and multiple universities.

[0012] For example, as shown in Figure 2, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 has the following functional components (hereinafter referred to as "functional blocks"): a seminar registration unit 121, a seminar database 122, a list display unit 123, a participant registration unit 124, a participant approval unit 125, a settlement processing unit 126, a completion registration unit 127, a completion approval unit 128, and a member database 129. The member database 129 stores information on multiple companies and multiple universities that are registered as members of the industry-academia collaboration support system 1. Company information includes the company's ID, password, name, address, and business details. Company information may further include information on the management. Management information includes the management's ID, password, name, email address, etc. University information includes the university's ID, password, name, and address, etc.

[0013] The seminar registration unit 121 retrieves information on multiple seminars currently accepting applications from working professionals, along with the university ID and password, from one of the multiple university servers 3. If the university ID and password are stored in the member database 129, the seminar registration unit 121 registers the retrieved information in the seminar database 122. The seminar information includes identification information (hereinafter referred to as "seminar ID"), a summary of the theme, the name and email address of the instructor, the names and email addresses of participating students, etc. The seminar registration unit 121 generates IDs and passwords for instructors and students, and sends a registration notification containing the generated IDs and passwords to the instructors and students' terminals 2 via email or other means. The seminar registration unit 121 also registers the generated IDs and passwords in the seminar database 122, associating them with the seminar IDs.

[0014] The list display unit 123 receives a request for a list of seminars from any terminal 2 of multiple companies, along with the company's ID and password. If the company's ID and password are stored in the member database 129, the list display unit 123 displays a list of seminars on the requesting terminal 2 based on the seminar database 122. For example, the list display unit 123 may display the list of seminars in the browser of the requesting terminal 2, or it may display the list of seminars in a dedicated application installed on terminal 2 to use the industry-academia collaboration server 100. Any terminal 2 of multiple companies may be the terminal 2 of an employee working for any of the multiple companies. Hereinafter, any terminal 2 of multiple companies will simply be referred to as "company terminal 2".

[0015] The registration unit 124 obtains participation requests for seminars from terminal 2, which displays a list of seminars. The participation request includes the seminar selected from the list of seminars, the name of the employee wishing to participate, their affiliated company, job title, and email address. The registration unit 124 writes the participation request to the seminar database 122, associating it with the seminar ID of the selected seminar.

[0016] When a participation request is written to any seminar ID, the Participation Approval Unit 125 sends an approval request for the participation request to the instructor's terminal 2, which is associated with the seminar ID. The Participation Approval Unit 125 may include the name of the employee wishing to participate and the employee's job title in the approval request. When the Participation Approval Unit 125 receives a reply approving the participation from the instructor's terminal 2, it associates the participation approval with the participation request and writes it to the seminar database 122. When the Participation Registration Unit 124 associates participation approval with the participation request, it requests payment from the Settlement Processing Unit 126. In response to the payment request, the Settlement Processing Unit 126 sends a payment request for the participation fee to the company's terminal 2 and accesses a financial institution server, etc., to await payment. Once payment is complete, the Settlement Processing Unit 126 accesses a financial institution server, etc., and executes the process of paying a portion of the participation fee to the university. Once the payment to the university by the Settlement Processing Unit 126 is complete, the Participation Registration Unit 124 generates the employee's ID and password and sends a registration notification containing the generated ID and password to the employee's terminal 2 by email, etc. The registration unit 124 writes the employee's registration information to the seminar database 122, associating it with the seminar ID. The employee's registration information includes the employee's ID, password, affiliated company, job title, and email address, as well as status information indicating that the employee is currently participating in the seminar.

[0017] The Completion Registration Unit 127 receives completion registration requests for employees from the instructor's terminal 2. For example, the instructor sends a completion registration request when they determine that an employee can complete the seminar based on their seminar attendance status. The completion registration request includes the seminar ID and information identifying the employee who is expected to complete the seminar (e.g., the employee's name). Based on the seminar ID and the employee identification information, the Completion Registration Unit 127 identifies the ID of the employee who is expected to complete the seminar and writes the completion registration request to the seminar database 122, associating it with the identified ID.

[0018] When the Completion Approval Unit 128 receives a completion registration request associated with any employee's ID, it sends a completion registration approval request to the employee's terminal 2. Upon receiving a reply from the employee's terminal 2 approving the completion registration, the Completion Approval Unit 128 requests payment from the Payment Processing Unit 126. In response to the payment request, the Payment Processing Unit 126 sends a payment request for the completion fee to the company's terminal 2 and accesses a financial institution server, etc., to await payment. Once payment is complete, the Payment Processing Unit 126 accesses the financial institution server, etc., and executes the process of paying a portion of the completion fee to the university. Once the Payment Processing Unit 126 has completed payment to the university, the Completion Registration Unit 127 deletes the completion registration request associated with the employee's ID and changes the status information to indicate that completion has been achieved.

[0019] As a result, participation of working professionals in seminars can be revitalized. This can promote employee reskilling in companies. Furthermore, it is expected that direct interaction between employees and students will make it easier to recruit promising students. In universities, participation of working professionals can revitalize seminars. Furthermore, it is expected that direct interaction between faculty and students and employees will make it easier to support students in finding employment at promising companies.

[0020] However, simply providing companies with a list of seminars may not be sufficient to identify seminars that offer a good return on investment. Furthermore, information obtained solely from employees' participation in seminars may not be enough to identify promising students. Moreover, information from only a few employees who participated in seminars led by the faculty themselves may not be sufficient to support students in finding employment at promising companies.

[0021] Therefore, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 is configured to perform the following actions when an employee of any of the multiple companies registers to participate in a seminar at any of the multiple universities: grant the employee employee employee privileges that include the authority to input evaluations of the seminar's instructor and the students participating in the seminar; grant the instructor employee privileges that include the authority to input evaluations of the employee; grant the student employee privileges that include the authority to input evaluations of the employee; store the evaluations entered using the employee privileges in a storage unit 113 accessible by multiple companies, associated with the seminar; and store the evaluations entered using the instructor privileges and student privileges in a university database 115 accessible by multiple universities, associated with the company to which the employee belongs.

[0022] By linking evaluations entered using employee privileges to seminars and storing them in the storage unit 113, companies accessing the storage unit 113 can more easily identify cost-effective seminars. This encourages participation in seminars by employees from multiple companies, achieving both employee reskilling and the revitalization of university education. Furthermore, the storage unit 113, which includes student evaluations, makes it easier for multiple companies to access promising students. By storing evaluations entered using faculty and student privileges in the university database 115, it becomes easier for multiple universities to select companies with which collaboration is worthwhile. This makes it easier for multiple universities to encourage participation in seminars. Furthermore, the university database 115, which includes employee evaluations, makes it possible to support students' job hunting based on more specific information that is difficult to find in company information. In this way, by providing significant benefits to both multiple companies and multiple universities, the industry-academia collaboration support system 1 can promote industry-academia collaboration.

[0023] For example, as shown in Figure 3, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 further includes, as functional blocks, an authorization management unit 111, an authorization database 112, a storage unit 113, a corporate database 114, and a university database 115. The authorization management unit 111 grants the employee employee employee authorization, which includes the authority to input evaluations of the instructor leading the seminar and the students participating in the seminar, when an employee of any of the multiple companies registers to participate in a seminar at any of the multiple universities, an instructor authorization, which includes the authority to input evaluations of the employee, and a student authorization, which includes the authority to input evaluations of the employee, to the student.

[0024] For example, when an employee's registration information is newly associated with any seminar ID in the seminar database 122, the authorization management unit 111 retrieves the employee's ID, password, affiliation identification information (e.g., company ID), and name, which are included in the employee's registration information, along with the seminar ID, from the seminar database 122. The authorization management unit 111 associates the retrieved information with the "for employees" authorization type and stores it in the authorization database 112 (see Figure 4). As a result, employee authorization is granted to the employee. The authorization management unit 111 may also send a notification of the granting of employee authorization to the employee's terminal 2. The grant notification may also include an explanation of how to input evaluations.

[0025] Furthermore, the authorization management unit 111 retrieves the instructor's ID, password, affiliation identification information (e.g., university ID), name, etc., along with the seminar ID, from the seminar database 122. The authorization management unit 111 associates the retrieved information with the "instructor" authorization type and stores it in the authorization database 112. This grants instructor authorization to the instructor. The authorization management unit 111 may also send an authorization grant notification to the instructor's terminal 2 based on the instructor's email address, etc. The authorization notification may also include an explanation of how to input evaluations.

[0026] Furthermore, the authorization management unit 111 retrieves the student's ID, password, affiliation identification information (e.g., university ID), name, etc., along with the seminar ID from the seminar database 122. The authorization management unit 111 associates the retrieved information with the "student" authorization type and stores it in the authorization database 112. As a result, student authorization is granted to the student. The authorization management unit 111 may also send a notification of the granting of student authorization to the student's terminal 2 based on the student's email address, etc. The authorization notification may also include an explanation of how to input evaluations.

[0027] The authorization database 112 is referenced to authenticate each authorization. For example, it is checked whether the authentication information (e.g., ID and password) obtained from the person who wishes to input an evaluation is stored in the authorization database 112. If it is stored, the seminar ID associated with that authentication information can be used to input an evaluation with the authorization type associated with that ID and password.

[0028] The authority management unit 111 may revoke employee privileges, instructor privileges, and student privileges upon an employee's completion of a seminar. This prevents post-evaluation tampering and maintains the reliability of both the corporate database 114 and the university database 115. For example, if the status information associated with an employee's ID in the seminar database 122 is changed to indicate completion, the authority management unit 111 deletes the employee privileges associated with that employee's ID from the privilege database 112. As a result, the employee is also removed from the list of individuals to be evaluated using instructor and student privileges, and therefore, the instructor and student privileges for that employee are also revoked.

[0029] The storage unit 113 associates evaluations entered with employee privileges with seminar IDs and stores them in a corporate database 114 accessible by multiple companies, and associates evaluations entered with faculty privileges and student privileges with the company to which the employee belongs and stores them in a university database 115 accessible by multiple universities.

[0030] For example, the storage unit 113 obtains authentication information from the person who wishes to input an evaluation via terminal 2 and checks whether that authentication information is stored in the authorization database 112. If the authentication information is stored in the authorization database 112 and the authentication information is associated with "for employees," the storage unit 113 obtains the evaluation entered by terminal 2 as an evaluation with employee authorization. The storage unit 113 associates the obtained evaluation with the seminar ID associated with the authentication information in the authorization database 112 and stores it in the corporate database 114.

[0031] If authentication information is stored in the authorization database 112 and the authentication information is associated with either "for faculty" or "for students," the storage unit 113 retrieves the evaluation entered by terminal 2 as an evaluation under faculty or student authorization. The storage unit 113 associates the retrieved evaluation with the seminar ID associated with the authentication information in the authorization database 112 and stores it in the university database 115.

[0032] The authority management unit 111 may grant management privileges to the managers of the companies to which employees belong, including the right to view evaluations entered using employee privileges, evaluations entered using teacher privileges, and evaluations entered using student privileges. This makes it easier to provide managers with information that makes it easier to evaluate the appropriateness of seminars as assignment locations for employees. Furthermore, by making evaluations entered using teacher privileges and student privileges available for management to view, it is possible to further improve employees' motivation for reskilling.

[0033] For example, when an employee's registration information is newly associated with any seminar ID in the seminar database 122, the authorization management unit 111 retrieves the ID, password, and name of the company manager to which the employee belongs from the member database 129, and retrieves the seminar ID from the seminar database 122. The authorization management unit 111 associates the retrieved information with the "manager" authorization type and stores it in the authorization database 112 (see Figure 4). As a result, manager authorization is granted to the manager. The authorization management unit 111 may also send a notification of the granting of manager authorization to the manager's terminal 2 based on the manager's email address, etc.

[0034] Employee privileges may further include the privilege to evaluate the content of seminars. The storage unit 113 may further store the evaluations entered for the seminar content using employee privileges in the corporate database 114, associating them with the seminar ID. This makes it easier for multiple companies to select seminars that are meaningful for their employees to participate in.

[0035] Teacher privileges may further include the right to view evaluations entered for seminar content using employee privileges. By making evaluations entered for employee privileges accessible to teachers, it is possible to encourage the refinement of seminar content. For example, teacher privileges may include the right to access the contents of the corporate database 114, but only for evaluations entered for seminars led by the teacher.

[0036] Student permissions may further include the right to input evaluations of the seminar content. Instructor permissions may further include the right to view the evaluations entered by students. This can further encourage the refinement of the seminar content.

[0037] The storage unit 113 may further store the evaluations entered for the seminar content using student privileges in the corporate database 114, associating them with the seminars. From the perspective of high student motivation, it becomes possible to consider seminars that are meaningful for employees to participate in. The evaluations entered for the seminar content using student privileges and stored in the corporate database 114 can be accessed using teacher privileges.

[0038] The storage unit 113 may generate a first evaluation form 210 containing evaluation items for faculty and students in response to a request from an employee with employee privileges. The storage unit 113 may generate a second evaluation form 220 containing evaluation items for employees in response to a request from an faculty member with employee privileges. The storage unit 113 may generate a third evaluation form 230 containing evaluation items for employees in response to a request from a student with employee privileges. The storage unit 113 may store the evaluations entered in the first evaluation form 210 in the corporate database 114, associating them with seminars. The storage unit 113 may store the evaluations entered in the second evaluation form 220 and the third evaluation form 230 in the university database 115, associating them with the companies to which the employees belong. By providing a unique evaluation form for each level of privilege, more useful evaluations can be stored in each database.

[0039] For example, the storage unit 113 stores the first evaluation form 210 associated with employee privileges, the second evaluation form 220 associated with teacher privileges, and the third evaluation form 230 associated with student privileges. If the person who wishes to input an evaluation has employee privileges, the storage unit 113 generates (displays) the first evaluation form 210, which is stored associated with employee privileges, on that person's terminal. If the person who wishes to input an evaluation has teacher privileges, the storage unit 113 generates (displays) the second evaluation form 220, which is stored associated with teacher privileges, on that person's terminal. If the person who wishes to input an evaluation has student privileges, the storage unit 113 generates (displays) the third evaluation form 230, which is stored associated with student privileges, on that person's terminal.

[0040] For example, when an operation to start evaluation input is performed on terminal 2, the storage unit 113 displays the login screen 200 shown in Figure 5 on terminal 2. Examples of operations to start evaluation input include launching a native application installed on terminal 2, or launching a web application using the browser on terminal 2. As shown in Figure 5, the login screen 200 has an ID input field 201, a password input field 202, and an evaluation input button 203. The ID input field 201 is an input box that retrieves text representing the ID of the person attempting to enter the evaluation. The password input field 202 is an input box that retrieves text representing the password of the person attempting to enter the evaluation. The evaluation input button 203 is a button that requests the industry-academia collaboration server 100 to display a form for evaluation input.

[0041] When the evaluation input button 203 is pressed, the storage unit 113 retrieves the ID entered in the ID input field 201 and the password entered in the password input field 202. The storage unit 113 checks whether the combination of the ID entered in the ID input field 201 and the password entered in the password input field 202 (hereinafter referred to as "authentication information") is stored in the authorization database 112. If the authentication information is stored in the authorization database 112, the storage unit 113 checks which authorization is associated with that combination.

[0042] If the authentication information is associated with employee permissions, the storage unit 113 generates the first evaluation form 210 on the terminal 2. Figure 6 is an example of the first evaluation form 210. The first evaluation form 210 has multiple evaluation scales 212 and a registration button 213. Each of the multiple evaluation scales 212 is associated with multiple evaluation items that can be entered with employee permissions. To the left of each of the multiple evaluation scales 212 is a caption 211 representing the evaluation item. Each of the multiple evaluation scales 212 is an object that retrieves the selection of one of multiple checkboxes arranged horizontally. The arrangement of multiple checkboxes indicates that the closer to the right end, the higher the evaluation, and the closer to the left end, the lower the evaluation.

[0043] In the example in Figure 6, the multiple evaluation scales 212 include one or more evaluation scales 212 for the instructor, such as "instructor's knowledge level," "effectiveness of instruction content," "clarity of instruction," and "instructor's approachability." Furthermore, the multiple evaluation scales 212 include one or more evaluation scales 212 for the seminar content, such as "innovativeness of the theme" and "effectiveness of the theme." Additionally, the multiple evaluation scales 212 include one or more evaluation scales 212 for the students, such as "student's motivation to learn," "student's initiative and leadership," "student's communication skills," "student's mastery of instruction content," and "student's presentation skills." Figure 6 illustrates a case where an overall evaluation is entered for all students belonging to the seminar, rather than for individual students, but it is not limited to this. For example, the first evaluation form 210 may be configured to allow input of evaluations for individual students. For example, the first evaluation form 210 may further have an input box that allows selection of the student to be evaluated using a pull-down menu, and may be configured to display one or more evaluation scales 212 for the student selected in that input box.

[0044] The registration button 213 is a button that requests registration of evaluations entered for multiple evaluation scales 212. When the registration button 213 is pressed, the storage unit 113 stores the evaluations and evaluation items entered for each of the multiple evaluation scales 212 in the corporate database 114, associating them with the seminar ID and the university ID.

[0045] If the authentication information is associated with teacher privileges, the storage unit 113 generates a second evaluation form 220 on the terminal 2. Figure 7 is an example of the second evaluation form 220. The second evaluation form 220 includes a selection box 225, multiple evaluation scales 222, and a registration button 223. The selection box 225 is an input box that allows the evaluation target to be selected using a pull-down menu or similar. For example, the storage unit 113 extracts the names of employees associated with the same seminar ID as a teacher with teacher privileges from the privilege database 112, and makes the extracted employee names selectable in the selection box 225. A caption 224 is provided to the left of the selection box 225 to indicate that it is an input box for selecting the target.

[0046] The storage unit 113 displays multiple evaluation scales 222 for the employee selected in the selection box 225 on the second evaluation form 220. Each of the multiple evaluation scales 222 corresponds to a set of evaluation items that can be entered for employees with teacher privileges. To the left of each of the multiple evaluation scales 222, a caption 221 representing the evaluation item is provided. Similar to the multiple evaluation scales 212, each of the multiple evaluation scales 222 is an object that acquires the selection of one of several checkboxes arranged horizontally. In the example in Figure 7, the multiple evaluation items from the multiple evaluation scales 222 include "motivation to learn," "proactiveness and leadership," "communication skills," "mastery of instructional content," "presentation skills," "attractiveness of social experience," and "support from the affiliated company."

[0047] The registration button 223 is a button that requests the registration of evaluations entered for multiple evaluation scales 222. When the registration button 223 is pressed, the storage unit 113 stores the evaluations and evaluation items entered for each of the multiple evaluation scales 222 in the university database 115, associating them with the employee ID, company ID, and seminar ID.

[0048] If the authentication information is associated with student privileges, the storage unit 113 generates a third evaluation form 230 on the terminal 2. Figure 8 is an example of the third evaluation form 230. The third evaluation form 230 includes a selection box 235, multiple evaluation scales 232, and a registration button 233. The selection box 235, like the selection box 225, is an input box that allows the evaluation target to be selected using a pull-down menu or similar. For example, the storage unit 113 extracts the names of employees associated with the same seminar ID as students with student privileges from the privilege database 112, and makes the extracted employee names selectable in the selection box 235. A caption 234 is provided to the left of the selection box 235 to indicate that the selection box 235 is an input box for selecting a target.

[0049] The storage unit 113 displays multiple evaluation scales 232 for the employee selected in the selection box 235 on the third evaluation form 230. Similar to the multiple evaluation scales 222, each of the multiple evaluation scales 232 is associated with multiple evaluation items that can be entered for employees with student privileges. A caption 231 representing the evaluation item is provided to the left of each of the multiple evaluation scales 232. Each of the multiple evaluation scales 232 is an object that acquires the selection of one of multiple checkboxes arranged horizontally. In the example in Figure 8, the evaluation items for the multiple evaluation scales 232 are the same as the evaluation items for the multiple evaluation scales 222 on the second evaluation form 220, but the evaluation items for student privileges may be different from the evaluation items for faculty privileges.

[0050] The registration button 233 is a button that requests the registration of evaluations entered for multiple evaluation scales 232. When the registration button 233 is pressed, the storage unit 113 stores the evaluations entered for each of the multiple evaluation scales 232, along with the evaluation items, in the university database 115, associating them with the employee ID, the company ID, and the seminar ID.

[0051] The third evaluation form 230 may be configured to allow further input of evaluations for the instructor and the theme. For example, after the registration button 233 is pressed, the storage unit 113 may further display two or more additional evaluation scales 232 and a registration button 236 as part of the third evaluation form 230, as shown in Figure 9. In the example in Figure 9, the two or more additional evaluation scales 232 include one or more evaluation scales 232 for the instructor, such as "instructor's knowledge level," "effectiveness of instruction content," "clarity of instruction," and "instructor's approachability." The two or more additional evaluation scales 232 also include one or more evaluation scales 232 for the content of the seminar, such as "innovativeness of the theme" and "effectiveness of the theme."

[0052] The registration button 236 is a button that requests the registration of evaluations entered for two or more additional evaluation scales 232. When the registration button 236 is pressed, the storage unit 113 stores the evaluations and evaluation items entered for each of the two or more additional evaluation scales 232 in the corporate database 114, associating them with the seminar ID and university ID.

[0053] The industry-academia collaboration server 100 restricts access to the corporate database 114 to access from multiple member companies and prohibits access to the corporate database 114 from multiple member universities. Similarly, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 restricts access to the university database 115 to access from multiple member universities and prohibits access to the university database 115 from multiple member companies. Access to the corporate database 114 includes reading data stored in the corporate database 114. Likewise, access to the university database 115 includes reading data stored in the university database 115.

[0054] For example, if terminal 2 requests to read data from the corporate database 114 using the company's ID and password, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 will allow terminal 2 to read the data. Similarly, if terminal 2 requests to read data from the university database 115 using the university's ID and password, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 will allow terminal 2 to read the data.

[0055] If terminal 2 requests to read data from the corporate database 114 using the teacher's ID and password, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 may allow terminal 2 to read only the data associated with the seminar ID of the seminar led by that teacher. If terminal 2 requests to read data from the university database 115 using the manager's ID and password, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 may allow terminal 2 to read only the data associated with the company ID of the company managed by that manager.

[0056] In some cases, it may be better to impose some restrictions on the reading of information from the corporate database 114 by multiple member companies and the reading of information from the university database 115 by multiple member universities. Therefore, as shown in Figure 3, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 may further include a report generation unit 131 as a functional block, and restrict access to the corporate database 114 and the university database 115 to access only from the report generation unit 131. The report generation unit 131 generates a report corresponding to the request based on the contents of the corporate database 114 and the university database 115.

[0057] For example, when an operation to start report generation is performed on terminal 2, the report generation unit 131 displays the login screen 300 shown in Figure 10 on terminal 2. Examples of operations to start report generation include launching a native application installed on terminal 2, or launching a web application using the browser on terminal 2. As shown in Figure 10, the login screen 300 has an ID input field 301, a password input field 302, and an evaluation input button 303. The ID input field 301 is an input box that retrieves text representing the ID of the person who is trying to enter an evaluation. The password input field 302 is an input box that retrieves text representing the password of the person who is trying to enter an evaluation. The evaluation input button 303 is a button that requests the industry-academia collaboration server 100 to display a form for evaluation input.

[0058] When the evaluation input button 303 is pressed, the report generation unit 131 obtains the ID entered in the ID input field 301 and the password entered in the password input field 302. The report generation unit 131 verifies whether the combination of the ID entered in the ID input field 301 and the password entered in the password input field 302 (hereinafter referred to as "authentication information") is the ID and password of a company stored in the member database 129, the ID and password of a manager stored in the authority database 112, the ID and password of a university stored in the member database 129, or the ID and password of a faculty member stored in the authority database 112. If the authentication information is the ID and password of a company stored in the member database 129 or the ID and password of a manager stored in the authority database 112, the report generation unit 131 generates the company portal screen 310 shown in Figure 11 on terminal 2.

[0059] As shown in Figure 11, the corporate portal screen 310 includes a list display button 311. The list display button 311 is a button that requests the generation of a list of seminar evaluations. If the authentication information is the manager's ID and password stored in the authorization database 112, the report generation unit 131 may generate a corporate portal screen 310 that further includes a manager button 312. The manager button 312 is a button that requests the generation of an evaluation report for employees participating in the seminar.

[0060] When the list display button 311 is pressed on the corporate portal screen 310, the report generation unit 131 generates a list of seminar evaluations and displays it on terminal 2. Figure 12 is an example of the seminar evaluation list screen. The list screen 320 shown in Figure 12 includes the name of each seminar, university, cost, and summary. The report generation unit 131 obtains this information contained in the list screen 320 from the seminar database 122. The list screen 320 further includes the instructor score, student score, and theme score for each seminar.

[0061] The report generation unit 131 extracts evaluation results entered by faculty members using employee privileges from the corporate database 114 and displays the extracted statistical values ​​(e.g., average values) of the evaluation results as faculty scores on the list screen 320. The report generation unit 131 extracts evaluation results entered by students using employee privileges from the corporate database 114 and displays the extracted statistical values ​​(e.g., average values) of the evaluation results as student scores on the list screen 320. The report generation unit 131 extracts evaluation results entered by employees using employee privileges for the content of seminars from the corporate database 114 and displays the extracted statistical values ​​(e.g., average values) of the evaluation results as theme scores on the list screen 320.

[0062] If any seminar is selected on the list screen 320, the report generation unit 131 may generate an individual evaluation report for the seminar and display it on terminal 2. Figure 13 is an example of an individual evaluation report for a seminar. The individual evaluation report 330 shown in Figure 13 includes multiple evaluation graphs 332. Each of the multiple evaluation graphs 332 corresponds to one of the multiple evaluation items that can be entered with employee privileges. Each of the multiple evaluation graphs 332 represents the magnitude of the evaluation by the length of the bar extending from the left end to the right. The report generation unit 131 extracts the evaluation results for each of the multiple evaluation items from the corporate database 114 based on the seminar ID and generates each of the multiple evaluation graphs 332.

[0063] Each of the multiple evaluation graphs 332 may have a caption 331 indicating the evaluation item to its left. Additionally, each of the multiple evaluation graphs 332 may have a comparison graph 333 below it. The comparison graph 333 is a graph showing the average value of all data stored in the corporate database 114, and the length of the bar extending from the left to the right represents the magnitude of the evaluation. The report generation unit 131 acquires all data stored in the corporate database 114 and generates the comparison graph 333. By comparing with the comparison graph 333, it is easy to determine whether each of the multiple evaluation graphs 332 exceeds the average.

[0064] When the manager button 312 is pressed on the corporate portal screen 310, the report generation unit 131 generates an employee evaluation report and displays it on terminal 2. Figure 14 is an example of an employee evaluation report. The employee evaluation report 340 shown in Figure 14 includes multiple evaluation graphs 342. The multiple evaluation graphs 342 correspond to multiple evaluation items that can be entered for employees based on faculty privileges and student privileges. Each of the multiple evaluation graphs 342 represents the magnitude of the evaluation by the length of the bar extending from the left end to the right. The report generation unit 131 extracts the evaluation results for each of the multiple evaluation items from the university database 115 based on the employee's ID and seminar ID, and generates each of the multiple evaluation graphs 342.

[0065] Each of the multiple evaluation graphs 342 may have a caption 341 indicating the evaluation item to its left. Furthermore, each of the multiple evaluation graphs 342 may have a comparison graph 343 below it. The comparison graph 343 is a graph showing the average evaluation results of employees participating in the same seminar, with the length of the bar extending from the left to the right representing the magnitude of the evaluation. The report generation unit 131 extracts the evaluation results of employees participating in the same seminar from the university database 115 based on the company ID and seminar ID, and generates the comparison graph 343. By comparing with the comparison graph 343, it is easy to determine whether each of the multiple evaluation graphs 342 exceeds the average. The comparison graph 343 may also be the average value of all data accumulated in the company database 114. Figure 14 shows an example of displaying evaluations based on faculty and student privileges together, but is not limited to this. The report generation unit 131 may be configured to generate employee evaluation reports 340 separately for employee evaluations by faculty and employee evaluations by students.

[0066] If the authentication information entered on the login screen 300 is either the university ID and password stored in the member database 129 or the faculty member ID and password stored in the authority database 112, the report generation unit 131 generates the university portal screen 350 shown in Figure 15 on terminal 2. As shown in Figure 15, the university portal screen 350 includes a list display button 351. The list display button 351 is a button that requests the generation of a list of company evaluations. If the authentication information is the faculty member ID and password stored in the authority database 112, the report generation unit 131 may generate the university portal screen 350 which further includes a faculty member button 352. The faculty member button 352 is a button that requests the generation of an evaluation report on the faculty member and the content of the seminar.

[0067] When the list display button 351 is pressed on the university portal screen 350, the report generation unit 131 generates a list of company evaluations and displays it on terminal 2. Figure 16 is an example of the company evaluation list screen. The list screen 360 shown in Figure 16 includes the name and profile of each company. The report generation unit 131 obtains this information contained in the list screen 360 from the member database 129. The list screen 360 further includes employee scores and company scores for each company.

[0068] The report generation unit 131 extracts employee evaluation results entered with faculty privileges and student privileges from the university database 115 and displays the statistical values ​​(e.g., average values) of the extracted evaluation results as employee scores on the list screen 360. The report generation unit 131 also extracts evaluation results related to the affiliated company, such as "support from the affiliated company" as described above, from the university database 115 among the employee evaluation results entered with faculty privileges and student privileges, and displays the statistical values ​​(e.g., average values) of the extracted evaluation results as company scores on the list screen 360. The report generation unit 131 may also generate a list screen 360 that displays employee scores and company scores based on faculty privileges separately from employee scores and company scores based on student privileges.

[0069] If any company is selected on the list screen 360, the report generation unit 131 may generate an individual evaluation report for the company and display it on terminal 2. Figure 17 is an example of an individual evaluation report for a company. The individual evaluation report 370 shown in Figure 17 includes multiple evaluation graphs 372. The multiple evaluation graphs 372 correspond to multiple evaluation items that can be entered for employees based on faculty privileges and student privileges, respectively. Each of the multiple evaluation graphs 372 represents the magnitude of the evaluation by the length of a bar extending from the left end to the right. The report generation unit 131 extracts the evaluation results for each of the multiple evaluation items from the university database 115 based on the company ID and generates each of the multiple evaluation graphs 372.

[0070] Each of the multiple evaluation graphs 372 may have a caption 371 indicating the evaluation item to its left. Furthermore, each of the multiple evaluation graphs 372 may have a comparison graph 373 below it. The comparison graph 373 is a graph showing the average value of all data recorded in the university database 115, and the length of the bar extending from the left to the right represents the magnitude of the evaluation. The report generation unit 131 acquires all data recorded in the university database 115 and generates the comparison graph 373. By comparing with the comparison graph 373, it is easy to determine whether each of the multiple evaluation graphs 372 exceeds the average. Figure 17 shows an example of displaying evaluations based on faculty and student privileges together, but is not limited to this. The report generation unit 131 may be configured to generate individual evaluation reports 370 separately for employee evaluations by faculty and employee evaluations by students.

[0071] When the teacher button 352 is pressed on the university portal screen 350, the report generation unit 131 generates an individual evaluation report for the seminar and displays it on terminal 2. Figure 18 is an example of an individual evaluation report for a seminar. The individual evaluation report 380 shown in Figure 18 includes multiple evaluation graphs 382. The multiple evaluation graphs 382 correspond to multiple evaluation items that can be entered for the teacher and seminar content depending on employee and student permissions. Each of the multiple evaluation graphs 382 represents the magnitude of the evaluation by the length of a bar extending from the left end to the right. The report generation unit 131 extracts the evaluation results for each of the multiple evaluation items from the corporate database 114 based on the seminar ID and generates each of the multiple evaluation graphs 382.

[0072] Each of the multiple evaluation graphs 382 may have a caption 381 indicating the evaluation item to its left. Furthermore, each of the multiple evaluation graphs 382 may have a comparison graph 383 below it. The comparison graph 383 is a graph showing the average value of the evaluation results of all data stored in the corporate database 114, and the length of the bar extending from the left to the right represents the magnitude of the evaluation. The report generation unit 131 acquires all data stored in the corporate database 114 and generates the comparison graph 383. By comparing with the comparison graph 383, it is easy to determine whether each of the multiple evaluation graphs 382 exceeds the average. Figure 18 shows an example of displaying evaluations based on employee and student permissions together, but is not limited to this. The report generation unit 131 may be configured to generate separate individual evaluation reports 380 for employee evaluations of teachers and seminars and student evaluations of teachers and seminars.

[0073] As shown in Figure 19, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 may further include a viewing restriction unit 141 as a functional block. The viewing restriction unit 141 restricts access to the corporate database 114 by multiple universities and restricts access to the university database 115 by multiple companies. This can suppress the chilling effect on both multiple universities and multiple companies caused by excessive awareness of evaluation. For example, the viewing restriction unit 141 prohibits access to the corporate database 114 and the university database 115 without going through the report generation unit 131.

[0074] The industry-academia collaboration server 100 may further include a disclosure restriction unit 142 as a functional block. The disclosure restriction unit 142 makes the evaluators of evaluations included in the corporate database 114 private, and makes the evaluators of evaluations included in the university database 115 private. This suppresses the chilling effect on evaluations and allows for the accumulation of more reliable evaluations. For example, the disclosure restriction unit 142 causes the report generation unit 131 to generate a report that does not include evaluator information.

[0075] The industry-academia collaboration server 100 may further include a recommendation generation unit 143 as a functional block. The recommendation generation unit 143 generates information recommending one or more seminars as participation destinations for at least one of the multiple companies, based on the business details of multiple companies registered in the member database 129, the company database 114, and the contents of multiple seminars recorded in the seminar database 122. This can further revitalize industry-academia collaboration. The recommendation generation unit 143 may also display the generated recommendations on the terminal 2 along with a list screen 320, etc.

[0076] The recommendation generation unit 143 may generate information recommending one or more companies as partner companies to at least one of several universities, based on the business details of multiple companies registered in the member database 129, the university database 115, and the contents of multiple seminars recorded in the seminar database 122. This can further encourage employees of multiple companies to participate in seminars. The recommendation generation unit 143 may also display the generated recommendations on the terminal 2 along with a list screen 360, etc.

[0077] The authority management unit 111 may grant access rights to the seminar deliverables to the company to which the employee belongs. By expanding the benefits for companies, participation in the seminar by employees from multiple companies can be further encouraged.

[0078] For example, the authorization management unit 111 grants companies access rights to seminar deliverables by associating company IDs with seminar IDs in the authorization database 112. As shown in Figure 20, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 may further have a deliverable acquisition unit 144 as a functional block. The deliverable acquisition unit 144 acquires the deliverables from the university server 3 and sends them to the requesting terminal 2 if the person requesting the deliverables has access rights to them.

[0079] For example, when an operation to request the acquisition of a deliverable is performed on terminal 2, the deliverable acquisition unit 144 displays the login screen 400 shown in Figure 21 on terminal 2. Examples of operations to request the acquisition of a deliverable include launching a native application installed on terminal 2, or launching a web application using the browser on terminal 2. As shown in Figure 21, the login screen 400 has an ID input field 401, a password input field 402, and a deliverable acquisition button 403. The ID input field 401 is an input box that acquires text representing the ID of the person attempting to acquire the deliverable. The password input field 402 is an input box that acquires text representing the password of the person attempting to acquire the deliverable. The deliverable acquisition button 403 is a button for requesting the acquisition of a deliverable from the industry-academia collaboration server 100.

[0080] When the user presses the deliverable acquisition button 403, the deliverable acquisition unit 144 acquires the ID entered in the ID input field 401 and the password entered in the password input field 402. If the combination of the ID entered in the ID input field 401 and the password entered in the password input field 402 (hereinafter referred to as "authentication information") is the ID and password of a company recorded in the member database 129, and that company's ID is associated with a seminar ID in the authority database 112, the deliverable acquisition unit 144 acquires the deliverable of the seminar corresponding to that seminar ID from the university server 3.

[0081] Figure 22 is a block diagram illustrating the hardware configuration of the industry-academia collaboration server 100. As shown in Figure 22, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 has a circuit 190. The circuit 190 includes a processor 191, memory 192, storage 193, and a communication circuit 194.

[0082] Storage 193 stores a program that causes the industry-academia collaboration server 100 to execute the following when an employee of any of the companies registers to participate in a seminar at any of the universities: granting the employee employee employee privileges that include the authority to input evaluations of the seminar's instructor and participating students; granting the instructor teacher privileges that include the authority to input evaluations of the employee; granting the student teacher privileges that include the authority to input evaluations of the employee; storing the evaluations entered using the employee privileges in a storage unit 113 accessible by multiple companies, associated with the seminar; and storing the evaluations entered using the instructor privileges and student privileges in a university database 115 accessible by multiple universities, associated with the company to which the employee belongs. For example, storage 193 stores a program that causes the industry-academia collaboration server 100 to configure the above-mentioned functional blocks. Storage 193 includes one or more non-volatile storage devices. Examples of non-volatile storage devices include hard disk drives, flash memory, optical disk drives, read-only memory, etc.

[0083] Memory 192 temporarily stores programs loaded from storage 193. Memory 192 includes one or more volatile storage devices. Examples of volatile storage devices include random access memory. The processor 191 executes the programs loaded into memory 192, thereby configuring the above-mentioned functional blocks on the industry-academia collaboration server 100. The processor 191 includes one or more computing devices. Examples of computing devices include a CPU (Central Processing Unit). The communication circuit 194 performs network communication with multiple terminals 2 and multiple university servers 3 based on requests from the processor 191.

[0084] [Industry-Academia Collaboration Support Procedures] The following is an example of an industry-academia collaboration support procedure performed by the industry-academia collaboration server 100. This procedure includes granting the employee employee employee permission to input evaluations of the seminar's instructor and participating students, granting the instructor permission to input evaluations of the employee, and granting the student permission to input evaluations of the employee, when an employee of any of the multiple companies registers to participate in a seminar at any of the multiple universities; storing the evaluations entered using the employee permission in a storage unit 113 accessible by multiple companies, associated with the seminar; and storing the evaluations entered using the instructor permission and student permission in a university database 115 accessible by multiple universities, associated with the company to which the employee belongs. As an example, this procedure includes a seminar registration and display procedure, an employee participation registration procedure, an employee completion registration procedure, a permission management procedure, an evaluation storage procedure, a report generation procedure, and a deliverable acquisition procedure. The following are examples of each procedure.

[0085] (Seminar registration and display procedure) As shown in Figure 23, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 first executes step S01. In step S01, the seminar registration unit 121 checks whether or not a seminar registration has been requested from the university server 3. If it is determined in step S01 that no seminar registration has been requested, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 executes step S02. In step S02, the seminar registration unit 121 checks whether or not the information on the university server 3 for registered seminars has been updated. If it is determined in step S02 that the seminar information has not been updated, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 executes step S03. In step S03, the list display unit 123 checks whether or not a list display has been requested from terminal 2. If it is determined in step S03 that no list display has been requested, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 returns to step S01.

[0086] In step S01, if the industry-academia collaboration server 100 determines that a seminar registration request has been received from the university server 3, it executes step S04. In step S04, the seminar registration unit 121 retrieves information on multiple seminars currently accepting applications from working professionals, along with the university ID and password, from one of the multiple university servers 3. If the university ID and password are stored in the member database 129, the seminar registration unit 121 registers the retrieved information in the seminar database 122. The seminar registration unit 121 generates IDs and passwords for faculty and students, and sends a registration notification containing the generated IDs and passwords to the faculty and students' terminals 2 via email or other means. The seminar registration unit 121 also registers the generated IDs and passwords in the seminar database 122, associating them with the seminar IDs.

[0087] In step S02, if it is determined that the seminar information has been updated, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 executes step S05. In step S05, the seminar registration unit 121 retrieves the updated seminar information from the university server 3 and updates the information registered in the seminar database 122 based on the retrieved information.

[0088] In step S03, if it determines that a request has been made to display a list of seminars, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 executes step S06. In step S06, the list display unit 123 obtains the request for a list of seminars along with the company's ID and password. If the company's ID and password are stored in the member database 129, the list display unit 123 displays a list of seminars on the requesting terminal 2 based on the seminar database 122.

[0089] After executing one of steps S04, S05, or S06, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 returns to step S01. The industry-academia collaboration server 100 repeatedly executes the above process as an example of the seminar registration and display procedure.

[0090] (Employee registration procedure) As shown in Figure 24, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 executes steps S11, S12, and S13 in order. In step S11, the participant registration unit 124 waits for a seminar participation request to be received from terminal 2 displaying a list of seminars. In step S12, the participant registration unit 124 writes the participation request to the seminar database 122, associated with the seminar ID of the selected seminar. In step S13, the participant approval unit 125 sends an approval request for the participation request to the teacher's terminal 2, associated with the seminar ID.

[0091] Next, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 executes steps S14, S15, and S16 in order. In step S14, the participation approval unit 125 waits for a reply approving participation from the teacher's terminal 2. In step S15, the participation approval unit 125 writes the participation approval to the seminar database 122, associating it with the participation request. In step S16, the participant registration unit 124 requests payment from the payment processing unit 126. In response to the payment request, the payment processing unit 126 sends a payment request for the participation fee to the company's terminal 2.

[0092] Next, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 executes steps S17, S18, and S19 in order. In step S17, the settlement processing unit 126 accesses the financial institution server, etc., and waits for payment. In step S18, the settlement processing unit 126 accesses the financial institution server, etc., and executes the process of paying a portion of the participation fee to the university. In step S19, the participant registration unit 124 generates the employee's ID and password, and sends a registration notification containing the generated ID and password to the employee's terminal 2 by email or the like. The participant registration unit 124 writes the employee's registration information to the seminar database 122, associating it with the seminar ID. This completes the employee participation registration procedure.

[0093] (Employee completion registration procedure) As shown in Figure 25, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 executes steps S21, S22, and S23 in order. In step S21, the completion registration unit 127 waits for a completion registration request from the teacher's terminal 2 to be received by the employee. In step S22, the completion registration unit 127 writes the completion registration request to the seminar database 122, associated with the employee's ID. In step S23, the completion approval unit 128 sends a completion registration approval request to the employee's terminal 2.

[0094] Next, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 executes steps S24 and S25 in order. In step S24, the completion approval unit 128 waits for a reply from the employee's terminal 2 approving the completion registration. In step S25, the completion approval unit 128 requests payment from the payment processing unit 126. In response to the payment request, the payment processing unit 126 sends a payment request for the completion fee to the company's terminal 2.

[0095] Next, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 executes steps S26, S27, and S28 in order. In step S26, the settlement processing unit 126 accesses the financial institution server, etc., and waits for payment. In step S27, the settlement processing unit 126 accesses the financial institution server, etc., and executes the process of paying a portion of the completion fee to the university. In step S28, the completion registration unit 127 deletes the completion registration request associated with the employee's ID and changes the status information to indicate that completion has been achieved. This completes the employee completion registration procedure.

[0096] (Permission management procedure) As shown in Figure 26, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 executes step S31. In step S31, the authorization management unit 111 checks whether or not a new employee's participation has been registered in the seminar database 122. If it is determined in step S31 that no new employee's participation has been registered, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 executes step S32. In step S32, the authorization management unit 111 checks whether or not the status information of any employee has changed to completed. If it is determined in step S32 that the status information of any employee has not changed to completed, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 returns to step S31.

[0097] If the industry-academia collaboration server 100 determines in step S31 that a new employee's participation has been registered, it executes step S33. In step S33, the authority management unit 111 grants the employee employee employee privileges that include the authority to input evaluations of the seminar's host and participating students, the host teacher employee privileges that include the authority to input evaluations of the employee, and the student employee privileges that include the authority to input evaluations of the employee. The authority management unit 111 may further grant the aforementioned managerial privileges.

[0098] In step S32, if the industry-academia collaboration server 100 determines that any employee's status information has changed to "completed," it executes step S34. In step S34, the authority management unit 111 revokes the employee's employee privileges, as well as the faculty privileges and student privileges granted to that employee. After executing either step S33 or S34, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 returns to step S31. The industry-academia collaboration server 100 repeatedly executes the above procedure as an example of an authority management procedure.

[0099] (Evaluation accumulation procedure) As shown in Figure 27, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 first executes steps S41 and S42 in order. In step S41, the storage unit 113 waits for authentication information for evaluation input to be entered at terminal 2. In step S42, the storage unit 113 checks whether the person who wishes to input the evaluation has employee privileges.

[0100] In step S42, if it is determined that the person requesting to input the evaluation does not have employee privileges, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 executes step S43. In step S43, the storage unit 113 checks whether the person requesting to input the evaluation has faculty privileges.

[0101] In step S43, if it is determined that the person requesting to input evaluation data does not have faculty privileges, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 executes step S44. In step S44, the storage unit 113 checks whether the person requesting to input evaluation data has student privileges. In step S44, if it is determined that the person requesting to input evaluation data does not have student privileges, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 returns to step S41.

[0102] In step S42, if it is determined that the person requesting to input an evaluation has employee privileges, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 executes steps S45, S46, and S47. In step S45, the storage unit 113 generates the first evaluation form 210 and displays it on the requesting terminal 2. In step S46, the storage unit 113 waits for the registration button 213 to be pressed on the first evaluation form 210. In step S47, the storage unit 113 stores the evaluation entered in the first evaluation form 210 in the corporate database 114.

[0103] In step S43, if it is determined that the person requesting to input an evaluation has faculty privileges, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 executes steps S51, S52, and S53. In step S51, the storage unit 113 generates a second evaluation form 220 and displays it on the requesting terminal 2. In step S52, the storage unit 113 waits for the registration button 223 to be pressed on the second evaluation form 220. In step S53, the storage unit 113 stores the evaluation entered in the second evaluation form 220 in the university database 115.

[0104] In step S44, if the industry-academia collaboration server 100 determines that the person requesting to input evaluations has student privileges, it executes steps S54, S55, and S56. In step S54, the storage unit 113 generates the third evaluation form 230 and displays it on the requesting terminal 2. In step S55, the storage unit 113 waits for the registration button 233 or registration button 236 to be pressed on the third evaluation form 230. In step S56, the storage unit 113 stores the evaluations for employees from the evaluations entered in the third evaluation form 230 in the university database 115, and the evaluations for faculty and seminar content in the company database 114. After executing one of steps S47, S53, or S56, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 returns to step S41. The industry-academia collaboration server 100 repeatedly executes the above process as an example of the evaluation storage procedure.

[0105] (Report generation procedure) As shown in Figure 28, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 executes steps S61 and S62 in order. In step S61, the report generation unit 131 waits for authentication information to be entered to request report generation. In step S62, the report generation unit 131 verifies whether the authentication information is the company ID and password stored in the member database 129 or the manager ID and password stored in the authority database 112. If, in step S62, it is determined that the authentication information is neither the company ID and password stored in the member database 129 nor the manager ID and password stored in the authority database 112, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 executes step S63. In step S63, the report generation unit 131 verifies whether the authentication information is the university ID and password stored in the member database 129 or the faculty member ID and password stored in the authority database 112. In step S63, if the authentication information is determined to be neither the university ID and password stored in the member database 129 nor the faculty member ID and password stored in the authority database 112, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 returns to step S61.

[0106] In step S62, if the authentication information is determined to be either a company ID and password stored in the member database 129 or a manager ID and password stored in the authority database 112, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 executes step S64. In step S64, the company report generation is performed. The contents of step S64 will be described later. In step S63, if the authentication information is determined to be either a university ID and password stored in the member database 129 or a faculty member ID and password stored in the authority database 112, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 executes step S65. In step S65, the university report generation is performed. The contents of step S65 will be described later. After executing either step S64 or S65, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 returns to step S61. The industry-academia collaboration server 100 repeatedly executes the above process as an example of a report generation procedure.

[0107] Figure 29 is a flowchart illustrating the procedure for generating a report for a company in step S64. As shown in Figure 29, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 first executes step S71. In step S71, the report generation unit 131 checks whether the authentication information is the manager's ID and password. If the server determines in step S71 that the authentication information is the manager's ID and password, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 executes step S72. In step S72, the report generation unit 131 activates the menu for the manager. For example, the report generation unit 131 includes the manager button 312 mentioned above in the company portal screen 310.

[0108] Next, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 executes step S73. If, in step S71, it is determined that the authentication information is not the manager's ID and password, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 executes step S73 without executing step S72. In step S73, the report generation unit 131 checks whether the display of the seminar evaluation list screen 320 has been requested (for example, whether the list display button 311 has been pressed). If, in step S73, it is determined that the display of the list screen 320 has not been requested, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 executes step S74. In step S74, the report generation unit 131 checks whether the manager's menu has been selected (for example, whether the manager's button 312 has been pressed). If, in step S74, it is determined that the manager's menu has not been selected, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 returns to step S73.

[0109] In step S73, if it is determined that a request has been made to display the list screen 320, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 executes steps S75, S76, and S77 in order. In step S75, the report generation unit 131 displays the list screen 320 on the requesting terminal 2. In step S76, the report generation unit 131 waits for any seminar to be selected on the list screen 320. In step S77, the report generation unit 131 generates an individual evaluation report 330 for the selected seminar and displays it on the requesting terminal 2.

[0110] If the management menu is selected in step S74, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 executes steps S78 and S79 in order. In step S78, the report generation unit 131 extracts employee evaluations from the university database 115. In step S79, the report generation unit 131 displays the employee evaluation report 340 on the requesting terminal 2. This completes the report generation procedure for companies.

[0111] Figure 30 is a flowchart illustrating the procedure for generating a report for universities in step S65. As shown in Figure 30, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 first executes step S81. In step S81, the report generation unit 131 checks whether the authentication information is the teacher's ID and password. If the industry-academia collaboration server 100 determines in step S81 that the authentication information is the teacher's ID and password, it executes step S82. In step S82, the report generation unit 131 activates the menu for teachers. For example, the report generation unit 131 includes the aforementioned teacher button 352 in the university portal screen 350.

[0112] Next, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 executes step S83. If, in step S81, it is determined that the authentication information is not the teacher's ID and password, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 executes step S83 without executing step S82. In step S83, the report generation unit 131 checks whether the display of the list screen 360 of company evaluations has been requested (for example, whether the list display button 351 has been pressed). If, in step S83, it is determined that the display of the list screen 360 has not been requested, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 executes step S84. In step S84, the report generation unit 131 checks whether the teacher's menu has been selected (for example, whether the teacher's button 352 has been pressed). If, in step S84, it is determined that the teacher's menu has not been selected, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 returns to step S83.

[0113] In step S83, if it is determined that a request has been made to display the list screen 360, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 executes steps S85, S86, and S87 in order. In step S85, the report generation unit 131 displays the list screen 360 on the requesting terminal 2. In step S86, the report generation unit 131 waits for any company to be selected on the list screen 360. In step S87, the report generation unit 131 generates an individual evaluation report 370 for the selected company and displays it on the requesting terminal 2.

[0114] If the industry-academia collaboration server 100 determines in step S84 that the menu for faculty members has been selected, it executes steps S88 and S89 in order. In step S88, the report generation unit 131 extracts evaluations of faculty members and seminars from the corporate database 114. In step S89, the report generation unit 131 displays the individual evaluation report 380 on the requesting terminal 2. This completes the report generation procedure for faculty members.

[0115] (Procedure for obtaining deliverables) As shown in Figure 31, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 executes steps S91 and S92. In step S91, the deliverable acquisition unit 144 waits for authentication information to be entered to request the acquisition of deliverables. In step S92, the deliverable acquisition unit 144 checks whether the authentication information has access rights to the deliverables of any seminar. If in step S92 it is determined that the authentication information does not have access rights to the deliverables of any seminar, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 returns to step S91. If in step S92 it is determined that the authentication information has access rights to the deliverables of any seminar, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 executes steps S93, S94, and S95 in order. In step S93, the deliverable acquisition unit 144 generates a list of seminars for which the authentication information has access rights to the deliverables and displays it on the requesting terminal 2. In step S94, the deliverable acquisition unit 144 waits for any seminar to be selected from the list. In step S95, the deliverable acquisition unit 144 retrieves the deliverables of the selected seminar from the university server 3 and displays them on the requesting terminal 2. After that, the industry-academia collaboration server 100 returns to step S91. The industry-academia collaboration server 100 repeatedly executes the above process as an example of the deliverable acquisition procedure.
