Information processing system, information processing device, information processing method and program

[0001] The present disclosure relates to an information processing system, an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program.

[0002] A system has been proposed that can reduce the burden of job hunting using communication networks on recruiters, students, and school staff (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0003] JP 2008-102820 A

[0004] For example, when using a system to support students in their job hunting, positive benefits are seen, such as students being able to find work they like and companies being able to acquire quality human resources. However, for example, in educational institutions, there are cases where the system does not provide any positive benefits, despite the burden of supporting students in their job hunting.

[0005] The present disclosure aims to provide a system that is expected to benefit students, educational institutions, and businesses alike.

[0006] With this objective in mind, the present disclosure provides an information processing system comprising an acquisition means for acquiring job information relating to job openings by businesses targeting students, a reception means for receiving donation information relating to donations by the businesses to the educational institution at which the student is enrolled, an association means for associating the donation information with the job information, and a display means for displaying the job information corresponding to the donation information on a screen for the student and the educational institution.

[0007] Here, the display means may preferentially display the job information of the business that has made a donation compared to other job information. The display means may also display a list of job information from multiple businesses, and preferentially display the job information of the business that has made a donation in the list. The display means may also display a list of job information from multiple businesses on the screen of a student terminal used by the student, and display the job information of the business that has made a donation at the top of the list. The display means may also display a list of job information from multiple businesses on the screen of an educational institution terminal used by the educational institution, and display the job information of the business that has made a donation at the top of the list. The system may also include a request notification means that receives donation request information from the educational institution requesting the business to make a donation to the educational institution and notifies the business of the donation request information. The system may also include an offer notification means that receives donation offer information from the business in which the business offers to make a donation to the educational institution and notifies the educational institution of the donation offer information. The display means may be capable of sorting the job information based on the donation information. The system may also include a search reception means for receiving a search for the job information using the donation information. Scholarship information related to the student who received a scholarship based on the donation may be displayed on a screen of a business terminal used by the business. The system may also include an invoice issuing means for issuing an invoice from the educational institution to the business regarding the transfer of the donation in accordance with the donation information. The system may also include a receipt issuing means for issuing a receipt from the educational institution to the business regarding the receipt of the donation in accordance with the donation information.

[0008] Furthermore, with this objective in mind, the present disclosure provides an information processing device that processes information received from each of a student terminal used by a student, an educational institution terminal used at the educational institution where the student is enrolled, and a business terminal used by a business that hires the student, and is characterized by comprising: an acquisition means that acquires job information related to job openings by the business targeted at the student from the business terminal; a reception means that receives donation information related to donations by the business to the educational institution from the business terminal or the educational institution terminal; an association means that associates the donation information with the job information; and a display means that displays the job information corresponding to the donation information on the screens of the student terminal and the educational institution terminal.

[0009] Furthermore, with this objective in mind, the present disclosure is an information processing method characterized by comprising the steps of: acquiring job information relating to job openings by businesses targeting students; accepting donation information relating to donations by the businesses to the educational institution at which the student is enrolled; associating the donation information with the job information; and displaying the job information corresponding to the donation information on a screen for the student and the educational institution.

[0010] Furthermore, with this objective in mind, the present disclosure is a program that enables a computer to perform the following functions: obtain job information related to job openings by businesses targeting students; accept donation information related to donations by the businesses to the educational institution where the student is enrolled; associate the donation information with the job information; and display the job information corresponding to the donation information on a screen for the student and the educational institution.

[0011] Furthermore, with this objective in mind, the present disclosure provides an information processing system comprising an acquisition means for acquiring job information relating to job openings by businesses targeting students, a reception means for receiving donation information relating to donations by the businesses to the educational institution at which the student is enrolled, an association means for associating the donation information with the job information, and a display means for displaying the job information corresponding to the donation information on a screen for the student and the educational institution, and which receives information regarding scholarships offered to the student by the businesses as the donation information.

[0012] The display means may display the job information of the business operator that made a donation specifying the educational institution where the student is enrolled as the donation recipient in priority over the job information of the business operator that made a donation without specifying the donation recipient. The display means may also display support information to support the student who has been granted the scholarship.

[0013] According to the present disclosure, a system can be provided that is expected to benefit students, educational institutions, and businesses alike.

[0015] An example of this embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, job information from businesses for students is managed, and the job information is provided via educational institutions to support students in finding employment. The basic configuration for providing the job information can use an existing (publicly known) job hunting support system.

[0016] It should be noted that the embodiments described below are preferred specific examples of the present disclosure and are therefore subject to various technical limitations, but the scope of the present disclosure is not limited to these embodiments unless otherwise specified in the following description.

[0017] (System Configuration) FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an outline of the configuration of a job information management system according to this embodiment.

[0018] As shown in FIG. 1, the job information management system in this embodiment (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "this system") is composed of a job information management device 10 that performs processing to provide job information, a student terminal 30 used by students, an educational institution terminal 40 used by educational institutions, and a business terminal 50 used by businesses, all of which are connected to one another via a network N such as the Internet.

[0019] In the job information management system of this embodiment, students, educational institutions, and businesses all participate as users of the system. The system acquires job information related to jobs offered by businesses targeting students, accepts donation information related to donations made by businesses to the educational institutions where the students are enrolled, associates the donation information with the job information, and displays job information corresponding to the donation information on a screen for students and educational institutions. Students can use the system to find a job of their choice. Businesses can also use the system to acquire talented personnel. Furthermore, educational institutions can use the system to increase opportunities to actively obtain donations, including scholarships, from businesses. In this way, the system actively benefits all three parties: students, educational institutions, and businesses.

[0020] Here, "students" refers to students enrolled in educational institutions who are engaged in job hunting activities. "Educational institutions" refers to universities, graduate schools, junior colleges, vocational schools, etc. that support their enrolled students in their job hunting activities. "Businesses" refers to recruiters such as companies, unions, and organizations that wish to recruit students enrolled in educational institutions as needed human resources.

[0021] 1 is a device that manages job information received from businesses and provides the job information in a manner that is beneficial not only to students but also to educational institutions and businesses. In other words, the job information management device 10 not only provides job information to students, but also receives and sets predetermined information to be associated with the job information from educational institutions and businesses.

[0022] The job information management device 10 has a processing function and a communication function, and functions as a server in the job information management system. The job information management device 10 in this embodiment is realized by an electronic device such as a personal computer. Therefore, in the following description, the job information management device 10 may be referred to as a "server."

[0023] The student terminal 30 is a communication terminal used primarily by students who are job-hunting, and is a device having a processing function and a communication function. The educational institution terminal 40 is a communication terminal used by staff in a department that supports students in finding employment at an educational institution such as a university, for example, a career department, and is a device having a processing function and a communication function. The business operator terminal 50 is a communication terminal used by employees or staff in charge of recruitment at a recruiting agency, and is a device having a processing function and a communication function. The student terminal 30, the educational institution terminal 40, and the business operator terminal 50 are all realized, for example, by a desktop or laptop computer, a tablet computer, a smartphone, or the like.

[0024] Furthermore, the network N is configured by the Internet, but is not particularly limited thereto, and may be a communication network such as a LAN (Local Area Network) or a WAN (Wide Area Network).The communication lines of the network N may be wired or wireless, or a combination of both may be used.

[0025] 1, only one student terminal 30, one educational institution terminal 40, and one business operator terminal 50 are shown, but the numbers are not particularly limited. Also, only one job information management device 10 is shown, but the job information management device 10 is not limited to a standalone device, and may be a distributed server system or a cloud server that cooperates by communicating via a network N.

[0026] (Hardware Configuration) FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the job information management device 10 according to this embodiment.

[0027] The job information management device 10 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 11, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 12, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 13, a bus 14, an input / output interface 15, an output unit 16, an input unit 17, a memory unit 18, and a communication unit 19.

[0028] The CPU 11 executes various processes according to programs stored in the ROM 12 or programs loaded from the storage unit 18 to the RAM 13. In other words, the CPU 11 is a processor that executes various processes according to the programs and controls the operation of the entire job information management device 10. The programs are, for example, an operating system or firmware for operating each unit of the job information management device 10, or application software for realizing the functional blocks described below.

[0029] The RAM 13 also stores data and the like necessary for the CPU 11 to execute various processes. The CPU 11, ROM 12, and RAM 13 are interconnected via a bus 14. An input / output interface 15 is also connected to the bus 14. An output unit 16, an input unit 17, a storage unit 18, and a communication unit 19 are connected to the input / output interface 15.

[0030] The output unit 16 is composed of a display, a speaker, etc., and outputs various information as images and sounds. The input unit 17 is composed of a keyboard, a mouse, a microphone, a camera, etc., and inputs various information in response to received instruction operations. Note that the output unit 16 and the input unit 17 may be integrated into one unit using, for example, a touch panel.

[0031] The storage unit 18 stores various data necessary for the job information management device 10 to execute information processing, and is configured, for example, with a hard disk, a DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory), etc. The communication unit 19 communicates with other devices via a network N including the Internet.

[0032] The job information management device 10 may also be equipped with a drive into which removable media such as a magnetic disk, optical disk, magneto-optical disk, or semiconductor memory can be appropriately installed. This drive allows programs read from the removable media to be installed in the storage unit 18. The removable media can also store various data stored in the storage unit 18 in the same way as the storage unit 18.

[0033] The hardware configurations of the student terminal 30, educational institution terminal 40, and business operator terminal 50 in this embodiment are the same as those of the job information management device 10 described above.

[0034] (Job Information Management Device 10) FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of the job information management device 10 that functions as a server in this embodiment.

[0035] Recruitment information management device 10 (server) has a recruitment information receiving unit 110, a donation setting unit 120, a recruitment information providing unit 130, a donation inquiry notifying unit 140, a donation offer notifying unit 150, an invoice issuing unit 160, a receipt issuing unit 170, a scholarship student setting unit 180, an applicant student setting unit 190, and an application information providing unit 200. Furthermore, recruitment information management device 10 has a user information DB 210, a recruitment information DB 220, and a donation information DB 230.

[0036] The job information receiving unit 110 is a means having a function of receiving job information to be provided to students from the business operator terminal 50 and storing the job information in the job information DB 220. This function is not special, and an existing configuration may be used.

[0037] The donation setting unit 120 is a means having the function of accepting donation information from businesses to the educational institution where the student is enrolled and setting up donations in association with the business's job information. Here, "donations" are not limited to monetary donations, but also include the free provision of items such as books and classroom equipment, real estate, etc. Furthermore, monetary donations are not limited to simple "donations," which can be freely used for facility expansion and general education-related purposes. They also include "scholarships," which are restricted in their use for student studies, and "research funds," which are restricted in their use for academic research.

[0038] Furthermore, scholarships include both grant-type scholarships that do not require repayment for students with excellent grades, and loan-type scholarships that require repayment for students who are unable to attend school for financial reasons. In other words, students who receive grant-type scholarships can be considered to have excellent grades, for example. Also, students who receive loan-type scholarships can be considered to be hardworking and diligent, for example. In this way, students who receive scholarships can be considered attractive human resources that are easy for businesses to judge.

[0039] Furthermore, "donation-related settings" refer to identifying job information of businesses that have received donations. Donation-related settings, for example, involve associating the job information with a flag and managing it in a database so that donations can be automatically recognized. Donation-related settings also refer to registering some kind of information so that job information of businesses that have received donations can be distinguished from job information of businesses that have not received donations. Therefore, donation-related settings may include not only whether or not a donation has been made, but also classification information that indicates the nature of the donation, such as money, goods, or real estate, and, if the donation is monetary, information on the amount.

[0040] The donation settings may also include donation recipient information. An example of the donation recipient information is a donation that designates a specific educational institution, such as a university, i.e., a donation targeted to students enrolled at the designated educational institution. Another example of the donation recipient information is a public donation that does not designate an educational institution, i.e., a general donation targeted to all students enrolled at all educational institutions. In addition, if the donation is monetary, the donation settings may also include information on the amount of the donation, as well as use information that indicates whether or not there are restrictions on the use of the donation, the details of the restrictions, and the like. Therefore, the donation setting unit 120 has the function of accepting, as donation information, category information and amount information that specify details about the donation, as well as use information and donation recipient information.

[0041] In addition, the information on settings regarding donations may be stored in the job information DB 220 and directly associated with the donation information, or may be stored in the user information DB 210 in which business information is stored and indirectly associated with the job information via the business information.

[0042] The donation setting unit 120 is also a means having a function of accepting the consent information returned from the business operator terminal 50 in response to the donation inquiry notification sent by the donation inquiry notification unit 140, and setting the donation-related settings using the consent information as donation information. This allows the educational institution to proactively ask the business operator that is hiring the employee for a donation.

[0043] The donation setting unit 120 also has a function of accepting the acceptance information returned from the educational institution terminal 40 in response to the donation offer notification sent by the donation offer notification unit 150, and setting up donations using the acceptance information as donation information. This allows the recruiting business to proactively offer donations to the educational institution that is hiring and build a good relationship with the institution.

[0044] The job information providing unit 130 is a means having a function of disclosing job information based on settings. In other words, it accepts desired conditions and provides job information that meets those conditions based on settings related to donations.

[0045] The job information providing unit 130 also has a function of preferentially displaying job information that has a setting related to donations. That is, the job information providing unit 130 determines the priority of the display order of job information depending on whether or not the setting related to donations is present, and changes the display order.

[0046] The job information providing unit 130 also has a function of enabling a search for job information that has a setting related to donations. That is, the unit determines whether or not to extract job information depending on whether or not the setting related to donations is present, and selects the job information. Specifically, the unit can search for businesses that make donations and businesses that do not make donations.

[0047] Furthermore, the job information providing unit 130 of this embodiment can rearrange the job information based on the donation information. That is, the job information providing unit 130 can sort and display job information of businesses that are making donations and job information of businesses that are not making donations.

[0048] In this case, the job information providing unit 130 has a function that enables sorting of job information according to the donation details included in the donation information received by the donation setting unit 120. Donations handled by the system of this embodiment include various elements. Therefore, the job information providing unit 130 can sort and display job information of businesses that have donation settings according to the content of the donation. Specifically, on the student terminal 30, job information of businesses that accept monetary donations and whose use is restricted to scholarships is preferentially displayed. The job information providing unit 130 of this embodiment displays job information of businesses that donate scholarships, for example, at the top of a list displaying job information of multiple businesses.

[0049] Furthermore, if the donation is monetary and its use is restricted to scholarships, the job information providing unit 130 has a function that enables sorting of job information according to the recipient of the scholarship. That is, the job information providing unit 130 can sort and display job information from businesses that designate a specific educational institution as a donation recipient and job information from businesses that do not designate a donation recipient. Specifically, depending on the student viewing the job information on the student terminal 30, job information from businesses that designate the student's enrolled educational institution as a donation recipient can be displayed with higher priority (e.g., higher up) than job information from businesses that do not designate a donation recipient.

[0050] The donation inquiry notification unit 140 is a means having a function of receiving donation inquiry information requesting donations from an educational institution and transmitting the donation inquiry notification to one or more businesses. In other words, the donation inquiry information received from the educational institution terminal 40 is transmitted to the selected business terminal 50 or all registered business terminals 50.

[0051] The donation offer notification unit 150 is a means having a function of receiving donation offer information from a business operator and transmitting the donation offer notification to one or more educational institutions. In other words, the donation offer information received from the business operator terminal 50 is transmitted to the selected educational institution terminal 40 or to all educational institution terminals 40 that have registered job information.

[0052] The invoice issuing unit 160 is a means having a function of issuing an invoice for the transfer of donations from the educational institution to the business operator. In other words, if the donation in the donation inquiry notice or donation offer notice is monetary, in response to the acceptance information received by the donation setting unit 120, the invoice issuing unit 160 generates and transmits invoice information to be sent from the educational institution terminal 40 to the business operator terminal 50.

[0053] The receipt issuing unit 170 is a means having the function of issuing a receipt regarding the receipt of a donation from an educational institution to a business operator. In other words, when receipt information confirming the receipt of a donation is received in response to the issuance of an invoice by the invoice issuing unit 160, the receipt issuing unit 170 generates and transmits receipt information to be sent from the educational institution terminal 40 to the business operator terminal 50.

[0054] Generally, a "receipt" is used to prove that money has been received, and a "receipt" is used to prove that goods or services have been provided. However, in this embodiment, for ease of explanation, we will use the term "receipt" to refer to the receipt of money as well.

[0055] The scholarship student setting unit 180 is a means having the function of accepting information about students who have been granted scholarships based on donations set in the donation setting unit 120, and setting the student information in association with the job information of the business that made the donation.

[0056] The scholarship student setting unit 180 also has a function that enables it to support students who have been granted scholarships in response to the receipt of information about the students. That is, the scholarship student setting unit 180 can directly or indirectly support students who have been granted scholarships based on donations. Specifically, the scholarship student setting unit 180 sends notifications to the student terminal 30 of the student who has been granted a scholarship at a predetermined timing, encouraging or advising the student to prevent a decline in their grades or attendance at lectures, etc. In this embodiment, the scholarship student setting unit 180 displays information on the screen of the student terminal 30 of the student who has been granted a scholarship that will help prevent a decline in their grades or attendance at lectures, etc.

[0057] The scholarship student setting unit 180 also transmits support information to the educational institution terminal 40 of the educational institution where the scholarship recipient student is enrolled, at a predetermined timing, encouraging the educational institution to follow up on the student. In this embodiment, the scholarship student setting unit 180 displays on the screen of the educational institution terminal 40 instructions to the educational institution's staff member (career counselor) to ensure that the scholarship recipient student's grades and attendance rate for lectures, etc. do not decline. The scholarship student setting unit 180 also displays on the screen of the educational institution terminal 40 instructions, for example, to have the career counselor support the scholarship recipient student so that the scholarship recipient student's grades and attendance rate for lectures, etc. improve.

[0058] The applicant student setting unit 190 is a means having a function of receiving information on students who have applied for a job and setting the student information in association with the job information they applied for. The application information providing unit 200 is a means having a function of comparing information on students who have been granted scholarships with information on students who have applied for a job and preferentially displaying information on students who match.

[0059] The user information DB 210 is a means for storing various information about students who will be users of this system, educational institutions (e.g., careers department staff), and businesses (e.g., recruiters), and in this embodiment, it is a common database that stores all of the user information. The user information DB 210 includes, for each user, an account for logging in to the site and an account for sending and receiving e-mail.

[0060] Furthermore, the user information DB 210 of this embodiment stores, as student information, academic information related to a student's studies, such as grades, attendance rates for lectures, etc. In this embodiment, the educational institution terminal 40 is capable of acquiring academic information such as a student's grades, attendance rates for lectures, etc. from the user information DB and displaying it on the screen.

[0061] In this embodiment, when a student is selected from a university to receive a scholarship from a company, the educational institution terminal 40 displays the academic information of the student on the screen. This allows a person in charge of selecting students to receive scholarships, such as a university staff member, to refer to the academic information of the student.

[0062] Furthermore, when following up with a student who has been granted a scholarship, the educational institution terminal 40 of this embodiment displays the student's academic information on the screen, which allows, for example, university staff to give appropriate advice to the student to prevent their grades from declining.

[0063] In this system, accounts for students, educational institutions, and businesses are managed in the user information DB 210. Using these accounts, users can search for and communicate with each other. However, personal information is subject to restrictions, and can only be viewed under predetermined conditions.

[0064] The employment information DB 220 is a means for storing, for each business, employment information received from the business terminal 50. The employment information DB 220 stores, in association with the employment information, settings related to donations from businesses, settings related to students who have been granted scholarships, and settings related to students who have applied for jobs.

[0065] The donation information DB 230 is a means for storing, for each individual case, information on donation requests made by educational institutions to businesses and information on donations offered by businesses to educational institutions. In the case of donation requests, the donation information DB 230 stores at least information on the donation request source and information on the donation request recipient. In the case of donation offers, the donation information DB 230 stores at least information on the donation source and information on the donation recipient. Furthermore, the donation information DB 230 stores various information related to donations, such as whether or not there is consent information accepting the donation offer or donation inquiry, whether or not an invoice has been issued, and whether or not a receipt has been issued.

[0066] Furthermore, the registration of donation request information and donation provision information in the donation information DB 230 can be executed, for example, in response to the transmission of a donation inquiry notification from the educational institution terminal 40 to the business operator terminal 50, or the transmission of a donation offer notification from the business operator terminal 50 to the educational institution terminal 40. In other words, donation requester information and donation request recipient information are associated and stored in the donation information DB 230, and donation provider information and donation recipient information are associated and stored in the donation information DB 230.

[0067] The setting of student information in the scholarship student setting unit 180 and the applicant student setting unit 190 may be performed by storing the student information in the job information DB 220 and directly associating the same. Also, the setting of student information in the scholarship student setting unit 180 and the applicant student setting unit 190 may be performed by storing the student information in the user information DB 210 in which business operator information is stored and indirectly associating the student information with the job information via the business operator information.

[0068] As described above, the job information management device 10 of this embodiment functions as a device including a job information reception unit 110, a donation setting unit 120, a job information provision unit 130, a donation inquiry notification unit 140, a donation offer notification unit 150, an invoice issuance unit 160, a receipt issuance unit 170, a scholarship student setting unit 180, an applicant student setting unit 190, and an application information provision unit 200, by loading various programs (OS, applications, etc.) stored in the auxiliary storage device into the main storage device and executing them by the CPU 11.

[0069] Next, the processing flow in the job information management system according to this embodiment will be described. Here, a case will be described in which an educational institution approaches a business operator for a donation, the business operator accepts the donation, settings regarding the donation are made, and job information is disclosed (provided) based on those settings. Figure 4 is a sequence diagram showing an example of information processing according to this embodiment.

[0070] First, in step S301, the business operator terminal 50 transmits job information to the job information management device 10. In step S302, the job information management device 10 registers (stores) the received job information in the job information DB 220.

[0071] In step S303, educational institution terminal 40 transmits donation inquiry information requesting donations from one or more businesses to job information management device 10. Then, in step S304, job information management device 10 transmits a donation inquiry notification to one or more selected business terminals 50.

[0072] In step S305, business operator terminal 50 receives the donation invitation notification. Subsequently, in step S306, business operator terminal 50 transmits approval information as a reply indicating an intention to accept the donation invitation to job information management device 10. In step S307, job information management device 10 performs settings related to donations in response to the acceptance of the approval information.

[0073] In step S308, the student terminal 30 requests viewing of the job information from the job information management device 10. Then, in step S309, the job information management device 10 generates job display information that discloses the job information based on the settings related to donations, and returns the information to the student terminal 30. Then, in step S310, the student terminal 30 accepts the job display information sent from the job information management device 10, and views the job information based on the settings related to donations.

[0074] Next, a detailed description will be given of the flow of the job information management process in the job information management device 10. Fig. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the basic operation of the job information management process according to this embodiment.

[0075] As shown in Fig. 5, in step S401, the job information receiving unit 110 performs a process of determining whether job information has been received (accepted). If the job information receiving unit 110 has accepted job information (YES in S401), the process proceeds to step S402. On the other hand, if the job information receiving unit 110 has not accepted job information (NO in S401), the process proceeds to step S403. In step S402, the job information receiving unit 110 registers the accepted job information in the job information DB 220. Thereafter, operation of the job information management device 10 ends (END).

[0076] Furthermore, in step S403, donation inquiry notification unit 140 performs processing to determine whether donation inquiry information requesting a donation has been accepted (received). If donation inquiry notification unit 140 has accepted donation inquiry information (YES in S403), the process proceeds to step S404. On the other hand, if donation inquiry notification unit 140 has not accepted donation inquiry information (NO in S403), the process proceeds to step S407. In step S404, donation inquiry notification unit 140 performs processing to send a donation inquiry notification to one or more selected business operator terminals 50.

[0077] In step S405, the donation setting unit 120 performs a process of determining whether or not consent information has been accepted (received) in response to the donation inquiry notification sent by the donation inquiry notification unit 140. If the donation setting unit 120 has accepted consent information (YES in S405), the process proceeds to step S406. On the other hand, if the donation setting unit 120 has not accepted consent information (NO in S405), the process proceeds to step S407. In step S406, the donation setting unit 120 performs a process of setting the accepted consent information as donation information related to the donation.

[0078] Furthermore, in step S407, the job information providing unit 130 performs processing to determine whether a job information viewing request has been accepted (received). If the job information providing unit 130 has accepted a job information viewing request (YES in S407), the process proceeds to step S408. On the other hand, if the job information providing unit 130 has not accepted a job information viewing request (NO in S407), the operation of the job information management device 10 ends (END).

[0079] In step S408, the job information providing unit 130 performs processing to generate job display information based on the settings related to donations. That is, if settings related to donations have been made in step S406, the job information providing unit 130 generates job display information that discloses job information in a format based on the settings. On the other hand, if no donation inquiry information requesting a donation has been received in step S403, the job information providing unit 130 generates job display information that discloses job information in a general format in which settings related to donations have not been made.

[0080] Then, in step S409, the job information providing unit 130 performs processing to transmit the generated job display information of any mode, after which the operation of the job information management device 10 ends (END).

[0081] In addition, in this system, donation-related settings may be configured in a process other than the process described above. Here, a case will be described in which a business offers a donation to an educational institution, the educational institution accepts the donation, and the donation-related settings are configured, and job information is disclosed (provided) based on the settings. Figure 6 is a sequence diagram showing an example of information processing according to another embodiment.

[0082] First, in step S501, the business operator terminal 50 transmits job information to the job information management device 10. In step S502, the job information management device 10 registers (stores) the received job information in the job information DB 220.

[0083] Next, in step S503, business operator terminal 50 transmits donation offer information offering to make donations to one or more educational institutions to job information management device 10. Then, in step S504, job information management device 10 transmits a donation inquiry notification to one or more selected educational institution terminals 40.

[0084] In step S505, the educational institution terminal 40 receives the donation offer notification. Subsequently, in step S506, the educational institution terminal 40 transmits approval information as a reply indicating its intention to accept the donation offer to the job information management device 10. In step S507, the job information management device 10 performs settings related to donations in response to the acceptance of the approval information.

[0085] Note that steps S508 to S510 are the same as steps S308 to S310 described above, and therefore a description thereof will be omitted.

[0086] Next, a detailed flow of the job information management process in the job information management device 10 according to the above-described other embodiment will be described. Fig. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the basic operation of the job information management process according to the other embodiment.

[0087] As shown in FIG. 7 , the processes in steps S601 and S602 are the same as those in steps S401 and S402 described above, and therefore a description thereof will be omitted. Next, in step S603, the donation offer notification unit 150 performs a process of determining whether donation offer information offering a donation has been accepted (received). If the donation offer notification unit 150 has accepted the donation offer information (YES in S603), the process proceeds to step S604. On the other hand, if the donation offer notification unit 150 has not accepted the donation offer information (NO in S603), the process proceeds to step S607. In step S604, the donation offer notification unit 150 performs a process of transmitting a donation offer notification to one or more selected educational institution terminals 40.

[0088] In step S605, the donation setting unit 120 performs processing to determine whether or not consent information has been accepted (received) in response to the donation offer notification sent by the donation offer notification unit 150. If the donation setting unit 120 has accepted the consent information (YES in S605), the process proceeds to step S606. If the donation setting unit 120 has not accepted the consent information (NO in S605), the process proceeds to step S607.

[0089] In step S606, the donation setting unit 120 performs a process of setting the received consent information as donation information. Note that the processes from step S607 to step S609 are the same as those from step S407 to step S409 described above, and therefore a description thereof will be omitted.

[0090] By linking job information and donation information in this way, students can become aware of the donation settings when viewing disclosed job information, and use the settings as an aid in choosing a job, allowing them to conduct a job search centered on social contribution (i.e., select a company that contributes to society). Educational institutions can also use donations from companies to expand their facilities and improve education in general. Furthermore, companies can expect to attract more students and attract more talented students by improving their brand image through publicizing their CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) activities.

[0091] In addition, educational institutions can send donation inquiry notices to businesses requesting donations, so educational institutions can feel free to ask businesses for donations. On the other hand, businesses can also send donation offer notices to educational institutions offering donations, so businesses can easily use this as a foothold to build effective relationships with educational institutions.

[0092] Next, a specific process flow for generating job display information based on the settings in steps S309 and S509 described above will be described with reference to Fig. 8. Fig. 8 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the job display information generation process according to this embodiment.

[0093] In step S701 (S308, S508), the student terminal 30 or the educational institution terminal 40 requests viewing of job information from the job information management device 10. Then, in step S702, the job information management device 10 checks the donation settings associated with the job information.

[0094] Next, in step S703, the job information management device 10 determines a priority based on the donation settings and assigns a priority to the job information. Subsequently, in step S704, the job information management device 10 changes the display order of the job information based on the priority. Furthermore, in step S705, the job information management device 10 generates job display information that discloses the job information whose display order has been changed based on the settings, and returns the information to the student terminal 30 or educational institution terminal 40.

[0095] Then, in step S706 (S310, S510), the student terminal 30 or the educational institution terminal 40 receives the job display information sent from the job information management device 10, and views the displayed job information based on the settings related to donations.

[0096] Next, a description will be given of a specific processing flow in the job information management device 10. Fig. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of a specific operation of the job display information generation processing according to this embodiment.

[0097] 9, in step S801, the job information providing unit 130 performs processing to determine whether a job information viewing request has been accepted (received). If the job information providing unit 130 accepts a job information viewing request (YES in S801), the process proceeds to step S802. On the other hand, if the job information providing unit 130 does not accept a job information viewing request (NO in S801), the operation of the job information management device 10 ends (END).

[0098] In step S802, the job information providing unit 130 performs processing to determine whether or not a donation setting has been made in association with the job information. If a donation setting has been made (YES in S802), the job information providing unit 130 proceeds to step S803. On the other hand, if a donation setting has not been made (NO in S802), the job information providing unit 130 proceeds to step S805.

[0099] In step S803, the job information providing unit 130 determines the priority according to the donation settings and performs a process of assigning the priority to the job information. Subsequently, in step S804, the job information providing unit 130 performs a process of changing the display order of the job information in order of priority.

[0100] In step S805, the job information providing unit 130 performs a process of generating job display information that discloses job information according to the donation settings. That is, if donation settings have been made, the job information providing unit 130 generates job display information that discloses job information whose display order has been changed based on the settings. On the other hand, if donation settings have not been made, the job information providing unit 130 performs a process of generating job display information that discloses job information whose display order has not been changed. Then, in step S806, the job information providing unit 130 performs a process of transmitting the generated job display information of any form. Thereafter, operation of the job information management device 10 ends (END).

[0101] This makes certain job listings more visually recognizable than other job listings, allowing users of the job listings, such as students and careers officers at educational institutions, to recognize at a glance that a donation has been made. If the donation is monetary, the display order of the job listings may be prioritized according to the amount of the donation.

[0102] Here, the means for displaying job information with priority is not particularly limited. For example, it may be to display the job information at the top of the list or on a page with a lower number. Furthermore, it may be to display the job information displayed in the list with a different font, size, thickness, or color from the others. Furthermore, it may be to color a specified area of ​​the background of the job information displayed in the list, or to fill it with a pattern such as halftone dots, a grid, or diagonal lines. Furthermore, it may be possible to add an arbitrary mark such as a shape such as a heart or a star, or an asterisk, to the beginning of the job information displayed in the list. Furthermore, when multiple job information are displayed in chronological order, it may be possible to display job information set with a higher priority earlier than other job information.

[0103] The list may be a list in which job information is displayed using text information and multiple job information items are arranged in one direction according to a predetermined order. In this case, the prioritized display may be understood as the job information items closer to the top of the list being higher. The list may be a list in which job information items are displayed in card (strip) format and arranged in a predetermined layout in both the vertical and horizontal directions. In this case, the prioritized display may be understood as the job information items displayed in card format being arranged higher and further to the left on the screen.

[0104] Next, another processing flow when job display information is generated based on the settings in step S309 described above will be described with reference to Fig. 10. Fig. 10 is a sequence diagram showing an example of job display information generation processing according to this embodiment.

[0105] First, as a preliminary process, the business operator terminal 50 transmits monetary donation information with use restrictions to the job information management device 10 (step S710-1). Then, the job information management device 10 registers the donation information transmitted from the business operator terminal 50 in the job information DB 220 based on the use information contained therein (step S710-2). As a result, as another process when generating job display information, the display order of job information can be changed depending on the use of the donation (money). Below, an example of preferentially displaying job information from businesses that restrict the use of monetary donations to the provision of scholarships will be described.

[0106] The student terminal 30 requests the job information management device 10 to view the job information (step S711 (S308)). Then, in step S712, the job information management device 10 checks the settings such as the donation classification and the restrictions on use associated with the job information, and identifies the job information of the scholarship provider.

[0107] Next, in step S713, the job information management device 10 determines a priority based on the donation-related settings and assigns the priority to the identified job information. Subsequently, in step S714, the job information management device 10 changes the display order of the job information based on the priority. Furthermore, in step S715, the job information management device 10 discloses the job information whose display order has been changed based on the settings. That is, the job information management device 10 generates job display information that preferentially displays job information from scholarship providers. Then, the job information management device 10 sends the generated job display information to the student terminal 30 that has requested to view the job information.

[0108] Then, in step S716, the student terminal 30 receives the job display information sent from the job information management device 10, and job information from scholarship providers is displayed preferentially (for example, at the top), making it possible to view the job information.

[0109] Next, a description will be given of the flow of processing in the job information management device 10. Fig. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the job display information generation processing according to this embodiment.

[0110] 11 , in step S811, the job information providing unit 130 performs processing to determine whether a job information viewing request has been accepted (received). If the job information providing unit 130 has accepted a job information viewing request (YES in S811), the process proceeds to step S812. On the other hand, if the job information providing unit 130 has not accepted a job information viewing request (NO in S811), the operation of the job information management device 10 ends (END).

[0111] In step S812, the job information providing unit 130 performs processing to determine whether or not settings related to donations associated with the job information have been made. That is, the job information providing unit 130 determines whether or not settings related to monetary donations have been made that limit the use of the donations to the provision of scholarships. If settings related to donations have been made (YES in S812), the job information providing unit 130 proceeds to step S813. On the other hand, if settings related to donations have not been made (NO in S812), the job information providing unit 130 proceeds to step S815.

[0112] In step S813, the job information providing unit 130 determines the priority according to the donation settings and performs a process of assigning the priority to the job information. Subsequently, in step S814, the job information providing unit 130 performs a process of changing the display order of the job information in order of priority.

[0113] In step S815, the job information providing unit 130 performs a process of generating job display information that discloses job information according to the scholarship provision setting as a donation-related setting. In other words, if the scholarship provision setting has been configured, the job information providing unit 130 generates job display information that discloses job information whose display order has been changed based on the setting.

[0114] On the other hand, if a scholarship payment setting has not been made, the job information providing unit 130 generates job display information that discloses job information whose display order has been changed based on a donation setting other than the scholarship payment setting. Also, if a donation setting has not been made, the job information providing unit 130 generates job display information that discloses job information whose display order has not been changed. Then, in step S816, the job information providing unit 130 performs a process to transmit the generated job display information of any of the forms. Then, operation of the job information management device 10 ends (END).

[0115] The means for preferentially displaying job listings that offer scholarships is not particularly limited. For example, in a list displaying job listings from multiple businesses, the display order can be changed so that job listings from businesses that offer scholarships are displayed at the top or on pages with lower numbers. The font, size, thickness, and color of the text in the job listings displayed in the list can be made different from the other listings. Furthermore, a specified area of ​​the background of the job listings displayed in the list can be colored or filled with a pattern such as halftone dots, a grid, or diagonal lines. Furthermore, an arbitrary mark, such as a heart, star, or an asterisk, can be added to the beginning of the job listings displayed in the list.

[0116] This allows job listings that offer scholarships to be displayed preferentially (for example, at the top), making them easier to visually recognize than other job listings. Students can then quickly and at a glance recognize that the listing is from a company that offers scholarships.

[0117] Next, a further processing flow for generating job display information based on the settings in step S309 described above will be described with reference to Fig. 12. Fig. 12 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the job display information generation processing according to this embodiment.

[0118] First, as a preliminary process, business operator terminal 50 transmits monetary donation information with restrictions on use and designated donation recipients to job information management device 10 (step S720-1). Then, in step S720-2, job information management device 10 registers the donation information sent from business operator terminal 50 in job information DB 220 based on the use information and donation recipient information included therein.

[0119] As a result, as another process when generating job display information, the display order of job information can be changed depending on the use of donations (money) and the designated donation recipient. Below, we will explain an example of limiting the use of monetary donations to providing scholarships and preferentially displaying job information from businesses that have designated specific educational institutions as donation recipients.

[0120] In step S721 (S308), the student terminal 30 requests the job information management device 10 to view job information. Then, in step S722, the job information management device 10 checks settings such as donation classification and use restrictions associated with the job information, and identifies job information of a scholarship provider. Furthermore, in step S723, the job information management device 10 checks settings specifying the donation recipient associated with the job information. The job information management device 10 identifies, for example, job information in which the scholarship recipient is the educational institution enrolled by the student requesting to view the job information. That is, the job information management device 10 identifies job information of a scholarship provider.

[0121] Next, in step S724, the job information management device 10 determines a priority based on the settings related to donations and assigns a priority to the identified job information. Subsequently, in step S725, the job information management device 10 changes the display order of the job information based on the priority.

[0122] Furthermore, in step S726, the job information management device 10 discloses the job information with the display order changed based on the settings. That is, the job information management device 10 generates job display information that preferentially displays job information from a scholarship provider for which the scholarship donation is made to the educational institution of the student requesting to view the job information. The job information management device 10 then returns the generated job display information to the student terminal 30 that requested to view the job information.

[0123] Then, in step S727, the student terminal 30 accepts the job display information sent from the job information management device 10 and views the job information displayed preferentially (for example, at the top) from scholarship providers that have their own school as a scholarship donation recipient.

[0124] Next, a description will be given of the flow of processing in the job information management device 10. Fig. 13 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the job display information generation processing according to this embodiment.

[0125] 13, in step S821, the job information providing unit 130 performs processing to determine whether a job information viewing request has been accepted (received). If the job information providing unit 130 has accepted a job information viewing request (YES in S821), the process proceeds to step S822. On the other hand, if the job information providing unit 130 has not accepted a job information viewing request (NO in S821), the operation of the job information management device 10 ends (END).

[0126] In step S822, the job information providing unit 130 performs processing to determine whether or not a setting related to a donation associated with the job information, i.e., a setting for a monetary donation that limits its use to providing a scholarship, has been made. If a setting related to a donation has been made (YES in S822), the job information providing unit 130 proceeds to step S823. On the other hand, if a setting related to a donation has not been made (NO in S822), the job information providing unit 130 proceeds to step S826.

[0127] In step S823, the job information providing unit 130 performs processing to determine whether or not a donation destination associated with the job information has been set. That is, the job information providing unit 130 performs processing to determine whether or not the educational institution to which the student requesting to view the job information is enrolled matches the scholarship donation destination. If a donation destination has been set (YES in S823), the job information providing unit 130 proceeds to step S824. On the other hand, if a donation destination has not been set (NO in S823), the job information providing unit 130 proceeds to step S826.

[0128] In step S824, the job information providing unit 130 determines the priority according to the settings related to donations and the settings related to donation recipients, and performs a process of assigning a priority to the job information. Subsequently, in step S825, the job information providing unit 130 performs a process of changing the display order of the job information in order of priority.

[0129] In step S826, the job information providing unit 130 performs processing to generate job display information that discloses job information according to the scholarship payment setting as the donation setting and the donation recipient setting that specifies the educational institution to which the student requesting to view the job information is enrolled as the donation recipient setting. In other words, when the scholarship payment setting and the donation recipient setting are both set, the job information providing unit 130 generates job display information that discloses job information with the display order changed based on the settings.

[0130] On the other hand, if a scholarship benefit setting has been made but a donation recipient setting has not been made, the job information providing unit 130 generates job display information that discloses job information whose display order has been changed based on the public scholarship benefit setting. Furthermore, if a scholarship benefit setting has not been made, the job information providing unit 130 generates job display information that discloses job information whose display order has been changed based on donation settings other than scholarship benefit. Furthermore, if a donation setting has not been made, the job information providing unit 130 generates job display information that discloses job information whose display order has not been changed. Then, in step S827, the job information providing unit 130 performs a process to transmit the generated job display information of any form. Thereafter, operation of the job information management device 10 ends (END).

[0131] This means that job listings that offer both scholarships and donations are displayed preferentially (at the top), making them easier to visually identify compared to other job listings. Students can then quickly and at a glance identify job listings from businesses that offer scholarships to their school, as well as from businesses that offer public scholarships.

[0132] Next, as a secondary process in the job information management device 10, a process flow for requesting selective display of only job information that has settings related to donations in the above-mentioned steps S309 and S509 will be described with reference to Fig. 14. Fig. 14 is a sequence diagram showing an example of a job information search process according to this embodiment.

[0133] In step S901, student terminal 30 or educational institution terminal 40 requests viewing of only job information that has settings related to donations from job information management device 10. Then, in step S902, job information management device 10 checks the donation settings associated with the job information and identifies job information that has settings related to donations.

[0134] Next, in step S903, the job information management device 10 extracts the identified job information. Subsequently, in step S904, the job information management device 10 generates job display information including only the extracted job information, and returns the information to the student terminal 30 or educational institution terminal 40. Then, in step S905, the student terminal 30 or educational institution terminal 40 receives the job display information sent from the job information management device 10, and views only the job information that has a donation-related setting.

[0135] Next, a description will be given of the flow of secondary processing in the job information management device 10. Fig. 15 is a flowchart showing an example of a secondary operation of the job information search processing according to this embodiment.

[0136] 15, in step S1001, the job information providing unit 130 performs processing to determine whether a job information viewing request with settings related to donations has been accepted (received). If the job information providing unit 130 accepts a job information viewing request (YES in S1001), the process proceeds to step S1002. If the job information providing unit 130 does not accept a job information viewing request (NO in S1001), the operation of the job information management device 10 ends (END).

[0137] In step S1002, the job information providing unit 130 performs a process of identifying job information that has a setting related to donations. Next, in step S1003, the job information providing unit 130 performs a process of extracting the identified job information.

[0138] Furthermore, in step S1004, the job information providing unit 130 performs a process of generating job display information including only the extracted job information. Then, in step S1005, the job information providing unit 130 performs a process of transmitting the generated job display information, and then the operation of the job information management device 10 ends (END).

[0139] By making it possible to search for job postings that have donation settings in this way, users such as students and educational institutions (employment department staff) can quickly and easily check job postings from businesses that have donated to their school without having to go through the trouble of searching through a large number of job postings.

[0140] The job information providing unit 130 can also search for job information that does not have a setting related to donations. In this case, for example, a person in charge at an educational institution can approach a business that has posted job information but has not yet made a donation to ask about making a donation.

[0141] Next, as a secondary process in the job information management system of this embodiment, the flow for issuing an invoice or receipt that can be implemented together with or after the donation settings after accepting the consent information sent in step S306 or step S506 described above will be explained based on Figure 16.

[0142] FIG. 16 is a sequence diagram showing an example of an invoice / receipt issuing process according to this embodiment.

[0143] In step S1101 (S306, S506), the business operator terminal 50 or the educational institution terminal 40 returns acceptance information to the job information management device 10. Then, in step S1102, in response to receiving the acceptance information, if the donation is monetary, the job information management device 10 issues an invoice for receipt (transfer) of the donation, and sends the invoice information to the business operator terminal 50 that returned acceptance information in response to the donation invitation or the business operator terminal 50 that sent the donation offer information.

[0144] In step S1103, educational institution terminal 40 transmits receipt information (receipt issuance instruction information) reporting receipt of the donation to job information management device 10. Then, in step S1104, job information management device 10 issues a receipt regarding the receipt of the donation in response to the receipt information, and transmits invoice information to business operator terminal 50 that made the donation.

[0145] Next, a description will be given of the flow of secondary processing in the job information management device 10. Fig. 17 is a flowchart showing an example of a secondary operation of the invoice / receipt issuance processing according to this embodiment.

[0146] 17 , in step S1201, donation setting unit 120 performs processing to determine whether or not it has accepted (received) the returned acceptance information in response to the donation inquiry notification sent by donation inquiry notification unit 140 or the donation offer notification sent by donation offer notification unit 150. If donation setting unit 120 has accepted the acceptance information (YES in S1201), the process proceeds to step S1202. If donation setting unit 120 has not accepted the acceptance information (NO in S1201), the operation of job information management device 10 ends (END).

[0147] In step S1202, the invoice issuing unit 160 issues and transmits an invoice regarding the transfer of the donation in response to the acceptance information received by the donation setting unit 120. Next, in step S1203, the receipt issuing unit 170 determines whether receipt information has been accepted (received) in response to the issuance of the invoice by the invoice issuing unit 160. If the receipt issuing unit 170 accepts the receipt information (YES in S1203), the process proceeds to step S1204. On the other hand, if the receipt issuing unit 170 does not accept the receipt information (NO in S1203), the process repeats the determination in step S1203. Then, in step S1204, the receipt issuing unit 170 issues and transmits a receipt regarding the receipt of the donation. Thereafter, the operation of the job information management device 10 ends (END).

[0148] This allows educational institutions to issue invoices to businesses that offer monetary donations without delay, and also issue receipts to businesses that provide donations without delay. In addition, businesses can use the receipts as proof of deductions when filing tax returns, for example.

[0149] Next, as a secondary process in the job information management system according to this embodiment, a process flow for easily identifying whether or not any students who have applied for a job are eligible for the scholarship when a business provides a scholarship as a donation will be described with reference to Fig. 18. Fig. 18 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the scholarship student priority display process according to this embodiment.

[0150] In step S1301, the educational institution terminal 40 transmits scholarship student information to the job information management device 10. Then, in step S1302, the job information management device 10 sets the scholarship student information in association with the job information of the business. Also, in step S1303, the student terminal 30 transmits application information for applying for a job to the job information management device 10. Then, in step S1304, the job information management device 10 sets the applying student information in association with the job information applied for.

[0151] In step S1305, the business operator terminal 50 requests the job information management device 10 to view information on students who have applied for the company's job openings. Then, in step S1306, the job information management device 10 compares the information on scholarship recipient students who have been awarded scholarships with the information on students who have applied for the job openings. Furthermore, in step S1307, the job information management device 10 assigns a priority to the matching student information.

[0152] Subsequently, in step S1308, the job information management device 10 changes the display order of the student information based on the priority. Furthermore, in step S1309, the job information management device 10 generates applicant student display information that displays the applicant student information whose display order has been changed based on the scholarship grant, and returns this to the business operator terminal 50. Then, in step S1310, the business operator terminal 50 views the sent applicant student display information.

[0153] Next, a description will be given of the flow of secondary processing in the job information management device 10. Fig. 19 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the scholarship student priority display processing according to this embodiment.

[0154] As shown in Figure 19, in step S1401, the scholarship student setting unit 180 performs processing to determine whether or not it has accepted (received) information about a student who has been granted a scholarship based on a donation from a business (scholarship student information). If the scholarship student setting unit 180 has accepted the scholarship student information in step S1402 (YES in S1401), the process proceeds to step S1402. If the scholarship student setting unit 180 has not accepted the scholarship student information (NO in S1401), the process proceeds to step S1403. Then, the scholarship student setting unit 180 performs processing to set the accepted scholarship student information in association with the job information of the business that made the donation.

[0155] In step S1403, the applying student setting unit 190 performs processing to determine whether or not it has accepted (received) information about the student who applied for the job (applying student information). If the applying student setting unit 190 has accepted the applying student information (YES in S1403), it proceeds to step S1404. If the applying student setting unit 190 has not accepted the applying student information (NO in S1403), it proceeds to step S1405. In step S1404, the applying student setting unit 190 performs processing to set the student information in association with the job information applied for.

[0156] In step S1405, the application information providing unit 200 performs processing to determine whether a request to view the applying student information has been accepted (received). If the application information providing unit 200 accepts a request to view the applying student information (YES in S1405), the process proceeds to step S1406. On the other hand, if the application information providing unit 200 does not accept a request to view the applying student information (NO in S1405), the operation of the job information management device 10 ends (END).

[0157] In step S1406, the application information providing unit 200 performs a process of comparing the information on the student who was awarded the scholarship with the information on the student who applied for the job, and determining whether or not there is any matching student information. If the application information providing unit 200 determines that there is matching student information (YES in S1406), the process proceeds to step S1407. On the other hand, if the application information providing unit 200 does not determine that there is matching student information (NO in S1406), the process proceeds to step S1409.

[0158] In step S1407, the application information providing unit 200 performs a process of assigning a priority to the matching student information. In step S1408, the application information providing unit 200 performs a process of changing the display order of the student information in order of priority.

[0159] In step S1409, if there is student information that matches the information of the student who was granted the scholarship and the information of the student who applied for the job, based on the setting of the student information in the job information, the application information providing unit 200 generates applied student display information that discloses student information with the display order changed to display preferentially based on the assigned priority.On the other hand, if there is no student information that matches the information of the student who was granted the scholarship and the information of the student who applied for the job, the application information providing unit 200 performs processing to generate applied student display information that discloses student information with the display order not changed.

[0160] Then, in step S1410, the application information providing unit 200 performs processing to transmit the generated applicant student display information in any form. After that, the operation of the job information management device 10 ends (END).

[0161] This allows businesses to easily visually recognize outstanding students who receive scholarships, which can aid in recruitment. As with job listings viewed by students and educational institutions, there are no particular limitations on the means of displaying student information preferentially. Therefore, in addition to changing the display order so that student information is displayed at the top of the list or on pages with lower numbers, it is also possible to display the student information in a different font, size, weight, or color from the rest of the list. Furthermore, it is also possible to color a specified area of ​​the background of the student information displayed in the list, or to fill it with a pattern such as halftone dots, a grid, or diagonal lines. Furthermore, it is also possible to add an arbitrary mark, such as a heart, star, or asterisk, to the beginning of the student information displayed in the list.

[0162] Next, a process flow for providing support to students receiving scholarships as a secondary process in the job information management system according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 20. Fig. 20 is a sequence diagram showing an example of scholarship student support processing according to this embodiment.

[0163] First, the educational institution terminal 40 transmits scholarship student information to the job information management device 10 (step S1501). Educational institutions keep track of students receiving scholarships, whether the scholarship is donated to their institution or a public scholarship with no designated recipient. To utilize the support functions of the system, the educational institution terminal 40 transmits in advance to the job information management device 10 information about students who have begun receiving their scholarships and scholarship student information indicating when scholarship payments will begin. The job information management device 10 then registers the scholarship student information sent from the educational institution terminal 40 in the user information DB 210 (step S1502). This enables the support functions of the system.

[0164] In step S1503, after receiving the scholarship student information, the job information management device 10 transmits support information to the educational institution terminal 40 at a predetermined timing, encouraging the student to follow up with the scholarship recipient. The job information management device 10 of this embodiment transmits information that displays a type of alert on the screen of the educational institution terminal 40, informing the student receiving the scholarship that follow-up should be carried out after the fact. The screen of the educational institution terminal 40 can be checked by a department at the educational institution that supports students in finding employment, such as a staff member (career counselor) in the employment department.

[0165] In step S1504, the educational institution terminal 40 receives support information encouraging follow-up from the job information management device 10. In response to this, in step S1505, the educational institution terminal 40 transmits the support information to the student terminal 30 used by the student who has been granted the scholarship. Then, in step S1506, the student terminal 30 receives the support information transmitted from the educational institution terminal 40.

[0166] Next, a description will be given of the flow of processing in the job information management device 10. Fig. 21 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of scholarship student support processing according to this embodiment.

[0167] 21 , the scholarship student setting unit 180 performs processing to determine whether scholarship student information has been accepted (received) (step S1601). If the scholarship student setting unit 180 has accepted scholarship student information (YES in S1601), the process proceeds to step S1602. On the other hand, if the scholarship student setting unit 180 has not accepted scholarship student information (NO in S1601), the operation of the job information management device 10 ends (END).

[0168] In step S1602, the scholarship student setting unit 180 performs a process of registering the received scholarship student information in the user information DB 210. Subsequently, in step S1603, the scholarship student setting unit 180 performs a process of determining whether a certain period of time (e.g., six months) has passed since the registration of the scholarship student information. If the scholarship student setting unit 180 determines that a certain period of time has passed since registration (YES in S1603), the process proceeds to step S1604. On the other hand, if the scholarship student setting unit 180 determines that a certain period of time has not passed since registration (NO in S1603), the process repeats the determination in S1603. Then, in step S1604, the scholarship student setting unit 180 performs a process of transmitting notification information to the educational institution terminal 40, urging the scholarship student to follow up. Thereafter, the operation of the job information management device 10 ends (END).

[0169] Examples of the support information transmitted from the educational institution terminal 40 to the student terminal 30 include questions to the student, such as "Are your grades dropping?" and "Are you attending lectures (classes)?" In other words, the support information transmitted from the educational institution terminal 40 to the student terminal 30 can be a message intended to help students receiving scholarships improve their grades. The support information may also include advice on common problems and worries that students often have.

[0170] The career counselor can then use the support information sent as an opportunity to provide detailed support to the student, for example, by using the chat function (chat information display button 3006, see Figure 22 below) to receive consultation from the student, by inviting the student to an interview, or by using the schedule function to make or accept an appointment for an interview.

[0171] Furthermore, the educational institution terminal 40 of this embodiment can acquire and display on the screen academic information such as grades and lecture attendance of students who are the subject of follow-up, which allows, for example, staff (career counselors) in the employment department to follow up on students based on the actual academic information.

[0172] Furthermore, support information is notified to the educational institution terminal 40, encouraging staff (career counselors) of, for example, the employment department to follow up on students receiving scholarships. Specifically, a notice is displayed on the screen of the educational institution terminal 40 as support information encouraging them to check the grades and attendance rates of students receiving scholarships. Furthermore, a notice is displayed on the screen of the educational institution terminal 40 as support information encouraging them to contact students receiving scholarships to see if their grades or attendance rates are declining.

[0173] This allows educational institutions to follow up with students who receive scholarships and support them in meeting the expectations of the organizations that donated the scholarships, while allowing students who receive scholarships to focus on their studies in a way that meets the expectations of the organizations that donated the scholarships.

[0174] As described above, in this system, job postings with donation options are given priority in the list of job postings displayed to students, making it easier for students to apply to businesses that make donations as a form of social contribution, and businesses can more proactively encourage students to apply. Furthermore, students who receive scholarships are given priority in the list of application information displayed by businesses that offer those scholarships, making it easier for businesses to recognize outstanding students who receive scholarships and hardworking, earnest students when recruiting, reducing the burden of the selection process.

[0175] Furthermore, this system brings together the interests of students who want to work for companies with a positive image of CSR activities, educational institutions that want to collect large donations, and businesses that want to have an advantage in recruiting talented students, and is a mechanism that is expected to benefit all three parties.

[0176] Next, an example of the screen configuration displayed on each of the student terminal 30, educational institution terminal 40, and business operator terminal 50 in this embodiment will be described. First, when connecting to the system from the student terminal 30, the screen that is first displayed can be, for example, as shown in FIG. 22. FIG. 22 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the configuration of a dashboard screen displayed on the student terminal 30. In other words, when the student terminal 30 logs in (signs in) to the site of the system, the dashboard screen 300 as shown in FIG. 22 is first displayed.

[0177] In FIG. 22, the dashboard screen 300 is composed of a menu display section 3000 and an information display section 3100. The menu display section 3000 has a plurality of buttons for selecting and displaying information corresponding to each item, and the information display section 3100 displays statistical information on students' job hunting activities.

[0178] 22 , menu display section 3000 is located on the left side, and information display section 3100 is displayed across the entire right side. Specifically, menu display section 3000 is provided, in order from top to bottom, with dashboard display button 3001, career office information display button 3002, seminar information display button 3003, job information display button 3004, and training course information display button 3005. Furthermore, menu display section 3000 is provided, in order from top to bottom, with chat information display button 3006, profile information display button 3007, favorite information display button 3008, notification information display button 3009, help / feedback information display button 3010, setting information display button 3011, and site out button 3012.

[0179] Meanwhile, the information display section 3100 displays recruitment dashboard information 3101 in the upper left column, seminar dashboard information 3102 in the upper right column, recruitment information 3103 in the lower left column, and seminar information 3104 in the lower right column.

[0180] The following describes the main contents displayed by selecting various buttons on the menu display section 3000. The career office information display button 3002 lists information about career counselors. The seminar information display button 3003 lists information about information sessions held by companies (businesses). The job information display button 3004 lists job information from companies and manages interview dates, job offer letters, and rejection letters. The training course information display button 3005 lists information about training courses students are required to take before joining a company (after receiving a job offer). The chat information display button 3006 allows students to communicate with companies and career counselors (e.g., career counselors). The profile information display button 3007 lists and manages the student's own profile. Finally, the notification information display button 3009 notifies users when the managed information has been updated.

[0181] Next, a case where a student views job information will be described. A student can view job information by selecting the job information display button 3004 in the menu display section 3000. This job information can be shown, for example, in FIGS. 23 to 27. FIG. 23 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the configuration of a job information list screen displayed on the student terminal 30.

[0182] 23, this job information list screen 310 is shown as being comprised of a menu display section 3000 and a job information display section 3400. The upper section of the job information display section 3400 is provided with a search button 349 as well as multiple buttons for selecting and displaying information corresponding to each item, such as a job offer button 341, an apply for job offer button 342, an interview request button 343, an approve interview button 344, a schedule management button 345, an offer button 346, and a rejection button 347. The lower section of the job information display section 3400 is shown as having a job information list 3410 posted therein.

[0183] The job information list 3410 includes items displaying information such as favorites 34101, job type 34102, company name 34103, location 34104, industry 34105, number of employees 34106, number of job types 34107, number of job types available 34108, application deadline 34109, and request 34110, as well as an apply button 34111 for applying for the job.

[0184] This job listing list 3410 is displayed by selecting the job listing display button 3004 in the menu display section 3000 and then selecting the job listing button 341, and job listings that have donation-related settings are displayed higher in the display order or on pages with lower numbers.

[0185] The job information list 3410 may also be displayed as in the job information list screen shown in Fig. 24 or 25. Fig. 24 and Fig. 25 are schematic diagrams showing other configuration examples of the job information list screen displayed on the student terminal 30.

[0186] 24 shows a job information list 3410 in which a graphic 34112 is added to the beginning of job information for which donation settings have been made. Specifically, the top three job information items posted in the job information list 3410 are shown with a star graphic added to the beginning. This star is just one example, and other modes of display may be used as long as they are specially designed to differentiate the job information from other job information and display it preferentially.

[0187] 25 shows a job information list 3410 in which a specified range 34113 of the background of a job information item for which a donation-related setting has been made is colored. Specifically, the specified range of the background of the job information posted in the job information list 3410 is shown colored in a different color from the rest.

[0188] Furthermore, by using the search button 349 on the job information list screen 310, it is possible to narrow down the search by various conditions, such as job information that has settings related to donations, as shown in Fig. 26. Fig. 26 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the configuration of a job information search screen displayed on the student terminal 30.

[0189] 26 , a job information search screen 3490 is displayed superimposed on the job information list screen 310 by selecting a search button 349. The job information search screen 3490 is provided with various buttons for setting conditions, such as an occupation type button 3491, an industry button 3492, an employment type button 3493, an area (location) button 3494, a number of employees button 3495, a salary button 3496, a work type button 3497, and a contribution button 3498, as well as a search button 3499 for executing a search.

[0190] Furthermore, although not shown, as settings related to donations, job information may be searched by selecting here category information indicating the type of donation (money, goods, real estate, etc.), amount information if the donation is money (donation), use information restricting use (such as scholarships or research expenses), etc. Furthermore, for scholarships, job information may be searched by distinguishing whether the scholarship is a scholarship designated for the recipient of one's own school or a public scholarship with no designated recipient.

[0191] Therefore, when searching for job postings that have donation settings, by selecting Donation button 3498 and setting donation conditions, and then pressing Search button 3499, it is possible to display a list of only job postings that have donation settings, as shown in Fig. 27. Fig. 27 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the configuration of a job posting search results screen displayed on student terminal 30.

[0192] 27, a job information search result screen 340 displays a list of job information 3411, which is the result of a search performed under arbitrary conditions. For example, six job information items that have donation settings are displayed in the job information list 3411. In the example of FIG. 27, for job information items that have donations, "Donation" is displayed as "Yes."

[0193] In this way, the student terminal 30 can display job listings with settings related to donations preferentially in a list so that they are visually distinguishable from other job listings, and can also be searchable. Furthermore, although not shown, the student terminal 30 can also display job listings with settings related to donation categories, donation amounts, or use purposes, as described above, preferentially in a list so that they are visually distinguishable from other job listings, and can also be searchable. For example, if a setting related to donation categories is provided, the job listing search results screen 340 shown in FIG. 27 can display specific donation details, such as "books," "equipment," "real estate," "scholarships," and "research funds," instead of displaying "Donation" as "Yes." Of course, it is also possible to display only the "scholarship" item, which is particularly useful for students, without displaying all donation details.

[0194] 27, job listings with a donation setting may be displayed higher in the display order or on pages with lower numbers. For example, job listings with a scholarship setting may be displayed preferentially (higher). Furthermore, job listings with a scholarship setting that specifies the school may be displayed preferentially (higher) than job listings with a public scholarship setting that does not specify a donation recipient.

[0195] This search can also be performed on the educational institution terminal 40 in the same way. That is, on the screen of the educational institution terminal 40, job information of businesses that have made donations can be searched for and displayed in a list. On the other hand, it is also possible to search for job information of businesses that have not made donations on the screen of the educational institution terminal 40. In this case, businesses that have not made donations can be extracted and donations can be approached as described above.

[0196] Next, an example of a screen displayed on the educational institution terminal 40 will be described. When connecting to this system from the educational institution terminal 40, the screen that is first displayed can be, for example, the screen shown in FIG. 28. FIG. 28 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the configuration of a dashboard screen that is displayed on the educational institution terminal 40. In other words, when the educational institution terminal 40 logs in to the site of this system (site-in), the dashboard screen 400 shown in FIG. 28 is first displayed.

[0197] In FIG. 28, the dashboard screen 400 is composed of a menu display section 4000 and an information display section 4100. The menu display section 4000 has a plurality of buttons for selecting and displaying information corresponding to each item, and the information display section 4100 displays information about the student's job hunting activities.

[0198] 28 , menu display section 4000 is disposed on the left side, and information display section 4100 is displayed across the entire remaining right side. Specifically, menu display section 4000 displays, from top to bottom, a dashboard display button 4001, a career office information display button 4002, a student information display button 4003, a seminar information display button 4004, and a job information display button 4005. Furthermore, menu display section 4000 displays, in that order, an internship information display button 4006, a management information display button 4007, a profile information display button 4008, a notification information display button 4009, a help / feedback information display button 4010, and a site out button 4011. Meanwhile, information display section 4100 displays a list 4110 of student job hunting information.

[0199] The main contents displayed by selecting various buttons on the menu display section 4000 are explained below. The career office information display button 4002 allows career counselors (e.g., career counselors) to set up profiles for career counseling staff and communicate with companies (businesses) and students. The student information display button 4003 displays a list of students at the university. The student information display button 4003 also allows career counselors to register the content of communications they have had with students using the career office information display button 4002. The registered content can be shared (viewed) among career counselors as information related to student employment support. The seminar information display button 4004 displays information about company information sessions held at universities and other institutions. The job information display button 4005 displays job information from companies offering job opportunities at universities and other institutions.

[0200] The internship information display button 4006 displays internship information offered by companies at universities and other institutions. The management information display button 4007 allows users to manage various information used in this system and perform setting management tasks such as corrections and updates. The profile information display button 4008 displays and manages university profiles, such as their history, organization, and school regulations. The notification information display button 4009 notifies users when the managed information has been updated.

[0201] In addition, the job hunting information list 4110 has items for displaying information such as student ID 4111, student name 4112, department 4113, status 4114, and profile 4115, and the profile 4115 column has a View button that can be selected to view the student's profile.

[0202] To view job information on the educational institution terminal 40, the job information display button 4005 is selected on the menu display section 4000. When the job information display button 4005 is selected, a menu is expanded as shown in FIG. 29, and a public job button 40051 and a university job button 40052 are further displayed. The public job button 40051 displays job information that is being recruited by institutions other than the institution's own school. The university job button 40052 displays job information that is being recruited within the institution's own school.

[0203] 29 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the configuration of a job information list screen of companies posting at universities that is displayed on the educational institution terminal 40 when the university job button 40052 is selected. In FIG. 29, the job information list screen 410 is shown as being composed of a menu display section 4000 and a job information display section 4500.

[0204] The upper section of the job information display section 4500 is provided with a plurality of buttons for selecting and displaying information corresponding to each item, such as a company name button 451, a recommended job button 452, a recommendation acceptance button 453, a recommendation rejection button 454, and an interview result button 455. The lower section of the job information display section 4500 is shown as having a job information list 4510 posted thereon.

[0205] The job information list 4510 has items for displaying information such as company name 4511, industry 4512, location 4513, job opening (number) 4514, and details 4515, and the details 4515 column has a details button 4516 that allows the user to view details of the job information.

[0206] Although not shown here, employers' job information cannot be simply viewed on the student terminal 30. That is, the content of the employers' job information must be reviewed by an educational institution official (e.g., a career counselor), and if there are no problems, it must be approved before it can be viewed on the student terminal 30. Specifically, the job information sent to the student can first be viewed only on the educational institution terminal 40. A public button is provided on the screen of the educational institution terminal 40 in association with the job information. To approve the publication of the job information, the public button is selected. A public-only button may also be provided in association with the public button, allowing the student to select the target of the job, such as whether to publish to all students, to select a faculty, to select a grade, or to select a place of residence after graduation (or, in the case of foreigners, to select a place of residence). Therefore, the types and number of job information available for viewing vary for each student, and only job information relevant to the student can be viewed on the student terminal 30.

[0207] Also, although this is not illustrated here as it was illustrated in the explanation of the student terminal 30, the job information list 4510 is similar to the way in which the job information list is displayed on the student terminal 30, and can display job information with donation-related settings preferentially so that it can be visually distinguished from other job information in the list, and can also be searched.

[0208] FIG. 30 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the configuration of a screen displaying a list of companies that have made an inquiry about scholarships, which is displayed on the educational institution terminal 40. In FIG.

[0209] In addition, the educational institution can perform the following various processes by selecting the management information display button 4007 in the menu display section 4000. For example, the educational institution can make an inquiry to a business (company) requesting a scholarship or donation. The educational institution can accept a scholarship or donation offer from a business, or receive scholarship or donation acceptance information returned from the business. Furthermore, the educational institution can issue invoices and receipts.

[0210] In more detail, when the management information display button 4007 is selected in the menu display section 4000, a menu is expanded as shown in FIG. 30, and a user management button 40071, fee management button 40072, university profile button 40073, relationship request button 40074, handshake button 40075, relationship termination button 40076, scholarship setting button 40077, and donation setting button 40078 are displayed.

[0211] In the menu that is displayed by selecting the management information display button 4007, the scholarship setting button 40077 allows the user to specifically request a scholarship from a company, and the donation setting button 40078 allows the user to request a donation other than a scholarship from a company.

[0212] Therefore, when inquiring about a scholarship from a business (company), accepting a scholarship offer from a business, accepting the scholarship acceptance information returned by the business, issuing an invoice, or issuing a receipt, select the scholarship setting button 40077 from the menu that opens when you select the management information display button 4007.

[0213] In FIG. 30, the scholarship offer company list screen 420 is composed of a menu display section 4000 and a management information display section 4700.

[0214] The upper column of the management information display section 4700 is provided with a plurality of buttons for selecting and displaying information corresponding to each item, such as a scholarship approached company button 4771, a scholarship approached company button 4772, a scholarship status button 4773, and a scholarship received button 4774. The scholarship approached company list screen 420 is displayed by selecting the scholarship approached company button 4771.

[0215] Furthermore, a list of companies that have approached applicants about scholarships 47710 is displayed in the lower column of management information display section 4700. There are no particular limitations on the method of registering businesses to be listed in list of companies that have approached applicants about scholarships 47710. Therefore, for example, a business that is the source of a job offer displayed by selecting university job offer button 40052 may be automatically registered in list of companies that have approached applicants about scholarships 47710.

[0216] In the list of companies offering scholarships 47710, information on four companies offering scholarships 47711, 47712, 47713, and 47714 is displayed as thumbnails, like icon images, so that the company names can be identified at a glance. In other words, each piece of company information is displayed in card format, with information about each company organized in a square frame. Additionally, the first company information 47711, the second company information 47712, the third company information 47713, and the fourth company information 47714 each have an inquiry button 4771D.

[0217] Therefore, by selecting the inquiry button 4771D on any of company information 47711, company information 47712, company information 47713, or company information 47714, a scholarship inquiry notification will be sent from the educational institution terminal 40 to the company (business operator terminal 50).

[0218] Here, the method of sending the scholarship inquiry notice is not particularly limited, and for example, a template may be prepared in advance, and by selecting the inquiry button 4771D, the notice may be automatically and immediately sent to the business terminal 50 identified in accordance with the inquiry button. Alternatively, the scholarship inquiry notice may be sent indirectly, for example, by preparing a template (form) in advance, and by selecting the inquiry button 4771D, the template is displayed, and after entering the required items and making additions, deletions, or corrections, the notice may be sent indirectly by selecting the send button provided on the template.

[0219] In addition, if a scholarship is received from a business operator in response to a scholarship inquiry notification, the process of issuing a receipt can be carried out by selecting the scholarship setting button 40077 from the menu that is displayed by selecting the management information display button 4007, and then selecting the scholarship receipt button 4774, as shown in Figure 31.

[0220] Figure 31 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the configuration of a scholarship receipt issuance screen for companies that is displayed on the educational institution terminal 40. In Figure 31, the scholarship receipt issuance screen 430 also consists of a menu display section 4000 and a management information display section 4700, and a list of scholarship recipient companies 47740 is shown in the lower column of the management information display section 4700.

[0221] The list of scholarship recipient companies 47740 has items for displaying information such as company name 47741, billing date 47742, amount 47743, telephone number 47744, send receipt 47745, and view receipt 47746. The send receipt 47745 column has a send receipt button 47747, and the view receipt 47746 column has a view receipt button 47748.

[0222] Therefore, when a scholarship is received from a business, a receipt can be issued (sent) by selecting the send receipt button 47747. The method of issuing a receipt is also not particularly limited, and for example, as shown in FIG. 32 (described below), by selecting the send receipt button 47747, a standard message screen can be displayed over the scholarship receipt issuance screen 430 displayed on the educational institution terminal 40, and the receipt can be issued. For example, the amount of the scholarship received, the date of receipt, etc. can be automatically entered on this standard message screen, and the receipt can be issued immediately by selecting the send button.

[0223] FIG. 32 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the configuration of a scholarship receipt issuance screen 47750 for a company displayed on the educational institution terminal 40.

[0224] The scholarship receipt issuance screen 47750 has fields for displaying information such as billing date 47751, company name 47752, company address 47753, total amount (amount received as scholarship) 47754, receipt date 47755, details 47756, school name 47757, (school) address 47758, and (school) phone number 47759, as well as a send button 47760.

[0225] Therefore, after selecting the receipt send button 47747, by checking the contents of the scholarship receipt issuance screen 47750 and selecting the send button 4776, a receipt will be issued (sent) from the educational institution terminal 40 to the company (business operator terminal 50).

[0226] In addition, a receipt can be issued in the same way as sending the scholarship inquiry notice described above by selecting the receipt send button 47747, which will display a pre-prepared template instead of the standard text screen, and after entering the amount of the scholarship received, the date of receipt, etc., the receipt can be issued (sent) by selecting the send button provided on the template.

[0227] In addition, when inquiring of a business (company) for monetary or other donations (hereinafter simply referred to as "donations"), accepting a donation offer from a business, accepting donation acceptance information returned by the business, and issuing an invoice or receipt, the user selects the donation settings button 40078 from the menu that is displayed by selecting the management information display button 4007, as shown in Figure 33.

[0228] 33 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the configuration of a list of companies that have been approached about donations screen displayed on the educational institution terminal 40. In FIG. 33, the list of companies that have been approached about donations screen 440 is made up of a menu display section 4000 and a management information display section 4700.

[0229] The upper column of management information display section 4700 is provided with a plurality of buttons for selecting and displaying information corresponding to each item, such as a company approached for donation button 4781, a company approached for donation button 4782, a donation status button 4783, and a donation receipt button 4784. Donation approached company list screen 440 is displayed by selecting donation approached company button 4781.

[0230] A list of companies that have been approached about donations 47810 is also shown in the lower column of management information display section 4700. There are no particular limitations on the method of registering businesses to be listed in list of companies that have been approached about donations 47810, and, similar to scholarship inquiries, for example, a business that is the recruiter of job information displayed by selecting university recruitment button 40052 may be automatically registered in list of companies that have been approached about donations 47810.

[0231] The list of companies that have been approached about donations 47810 includes items for displaying information such as company name 47811, description 47812, and action 47813, and the action 47813 column includes an inquiry button 47814. Therefore, by selecting the inquiry button 47814, a donation inquiry notification is sent from the educational institution terminal 40 to the company (business operator terminal 50).

[0232] In addition, the method of sending the donation inquiry notice is not particularly limited, and similar to the sending of the scholarship inquiry notice described above, for example, a template may be prepared in advance, and the notification may be sent automatically and immediately by selecting inquiry button 47814. Alternatively, a template may be prepared in advance, and the template may be displayed by selecting inquiry button 47814, and after entering the required items and making additions, deletions, or corrections, the notification may be sent indirectly by selecting a send button provided on the template.

[0233] In addition, if a reply (response) is received from the business in response to the sending of the donation inquiry notification stating that the business accepts the monetary donation, the process of issuing an invoice may be performed automatically, similar to the issuance of the scholarship receipt described above.

[0234] Specifically, by selecting the management information display button 4007, a menu is displayed, and then the donation settings button 40078 is selected. Then, by selecting the donation status button 4783, donation approval (acceptance of approval information) can be confirmed (not shown). Then, by providing an invoice issue button in the donation status list, an invoice can be automatically issued.

[0235] That is, by selecting the invoice issuance button, for example, a standard invoice screen 47850 may be displayed as shown in Fig. 34, and the invoice may be issued by selecting the send button 47851. Fig. 34 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the configuration of an invoice issuance screen for a company displayed on the educational institution terminal 40.

[0236] The method of receiving a reply (response) from a business operator to the effect that the donation is accepted is not particularly limited, and for example, the business operator terminal 50 may display a list of schools that have made donation inquiries, which corresponds to the list of companies that have made donation inquiries shown in Fig. 33, and may be able to return acceptance information. That is, an accept button may be provided in the action column of this list of companies that have made donation inquiries, and when the accept button is selected on the business operator terminal 50, a donation acceptance notification (acceptance information) may be returned from the business operator terminal 50 to the school (educational institution terminal 40).

[0237] Furthermore, when replying (replying) to the effect that a donation offer from a business is accepted, it is possible to display a list of companies that have offered to donate, which corresponds to the list of companies that have approached the business with donations shown in Figure 33, and to reply with acceptance information. In other words, an "accept" button can be provided in the action column of this list of companies that have offered to donate, and when the "accept" button is selected on the educational institution terminal 40, a notification of acceptance of the donation offer (acceptance information) can be sent back from the educational institution terminal 40 to the business (business terminal 50).

[0238] As described above, the educational institution terminal 40 can make inquiries to companies (business operator terminals 50) requesting scholarships or donations, accept donation acceptance information returned from the business operator, and issue invoices and receipts. In addition, when an offer of donation from a business operator is accepted, a list of companies that have offered to donate, such as those shown in Figures 29 and 33, is received, and an acceptance button is selected from this list, a donation acceptance notice is sent to the business operator terminal 50. If the donation is monetary, an invoice can also be issued.

[0239] Next, an example of a screen displayed on the business operator terminal 50 will be described. When connecting to this system from the business operator terminal 50, the screen that is first displayed can be, for example, as shown in FIG. 35. FIG. 35 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the configuration of a dashboard screen that is displayed on the business operator terminal 50. In other words, when the business operator terminal 50 logs in to the site of this system (site-in), a dashboard screen 500 such as that shown in FIG. 35 is first displayed.

[0240] In FIG. 35, the dashboard screen 500 is composed of a menu display section 5000 and an information display section 5100. The menu display section 5000 has a plurality of buttons for selecting and displaying information corresponding to each item, and the information display section 5100 displays information regarding the recruitment of students by companies.

[0241] 35 , menu display section 5000 is located on the left side, and information display section 5100 is displayed across the entire right side.

[0242] Meanwhile, the information display section 5100 displays job analysis information 5101 in the upper left column, seminar analysis information 5102 in the upper right column, job information 5103 in the lower left column, and seminar information 5104 in the lower right column.

[0243] The main contents displayed by selecting various buttons on the menu display section 5000 are described below. The job information display button 5002 displays information about job openings at companies. The seminar information display button 5003 displays information about company job fairs. The internship information display button 5004 displays information about company internships. The chat information display button 5005 allows company personnel to communicate with students and careers department personnel. If a company provides scholarships to students, the chat information display button 5005 can be used to support the students. For example, a company can use the chat information display button 5005 to request academic information, such as grades and attendance rate, from the student. In other words, it is possible to issue an instruction to report academic information to the dashboard screen 300 displayed on the student terminal 30.

[0244] Furthermore, the university information management button 5006 allows the user to manage various information, such as student recommendation information issued by universities, information on seminars (job fairs) held by universities, and job openings, and to perform setting management tasks such as corrections and updates. The university information management button 5006 also allows the user to manage information (such as approval, transfer, and receipt requests) regarding scholarships and monetary donations proposed by educational institutions such as universities. The training course information display button 5007 displays information about training courses students are required to take before joining the company (after receiving a job offer). The profile information display button 5008 displays and manages the company's profile, including its history, organization, and philosophy. The notification information display button 5009 notifies the user when the managed information has been updated.

[0245] Next, to view the application status of scholarship recipient students for job openings on the business operator terminal 50, the user selects the university information management button 5006 on the menu display section 5000. When the university information management button 5006 is selected, a menu is displayed, as shown in FIG. 36 , which further displays various buttons 50061 to 50068, including a university job information display button 50064. The university information management button 5006 includes a university recommendation information button 50061 that displays student recommendation information issued by the university, an internship request button 50062 that requests the university to publicize the company's internship to students, and a seminar request / reservation button 50063 that requests the university to publicize a seminar (job information session).

The university information management button 5006 also includes a scholarship request button 50067 for applying for a scholarship to the university, and a donation request button 50068 for applying for a donation to the university.

[0246] 36 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the configuration of a recommended student information list screen including information on students who have applied for a job and are receiving scholarships, which is displayed on the business operator terminal 50 when the university job information display button 50064 is pressed. In FIG. 36, the recommended student information list screen 510 is made up of a menu display section 5000 and a management information display section 5600.

[0247] The upper column of the management information display section 5600 is provided with a plurality of buttons for selecting and displaying information corresponding to each item, such as a recommended student button 5641, an interview invitation button 5642, an interview result button 5643, and a job offer notice 5644. The recommended student information list screen 510 is displayed by selecting the recommended student button 5641.

[0248] Also, a recommended student information list 56411 is displayed in the lower column of the management information display section 5600. In the recommended student information list 56411, similar to the method of displaying a list of job information on the student terminal 30, recommended student information for which a scholarship is set to be granted can be displayed preferentially so that it can be visually distinguished from other recommended student information.

[0249] 36 shows a recommended student information list 56411 in which a specified background range 5641G of recommended student information for which a scholarship is set to be granted is colored. Specifically, the specified background ranges of three pieces of recommended student information listed in the recommended student information list 56411 are shown colored in a different color from the others. In addition, the recommended student information list screen 510 has an invitation letter sending button image for sending an invitation letter relating to the job offer individually to each student displayed as the job offer name.

[0250] Although not shown in the drawings as it was explained in connection with the student terminal 30, the recommended student information list 56411 can also be used to search for recommended student information for which scholarships have been granted, in the same way as the job information list 3410 is displayed on the student terminal 30. Furthermore, when sending a donation offer notification from the business operator terminal 50 to the educational institution terminal 40, or when accepting a donation in response to a donation inquiry notification sent from the educational institution terminal 40, the same procedures as those described above can be carried out on the educational institution terminal 40.

[0251] In the system of this embodiment, when a company sends the conditions for a student who is eligible for a scholarship, the system organizes the information of the applicant in a predetermined form (hereinafter referred to as the "scholarship selection form"), supporting efficient and appropriate granting of the scholarship between the company, educational institution, and student. Items on the scholarship selection form prepared by this system can include, for example, (1) faculty / department, (2) region / country of origin, (3) academic performance score such as GPA (Grade Point Average) score, (4) scholarship application essay (motivation for needing a scholarship), (5) desired scholarship period, and (6) scholarship amount.

[0252] Students to receive scholarships are selected based on this scholarship selection form. In other words, students can find businesses that are willing to provide scholarships from a list of job information, and if they wish to receive a scholarship, they apply by answering the specified questions required on the scholarship selection form using their student terminal 30. The application information is sent from the student terminal 30 to the educational institution terminal 40 via the job information management device 10. The educational institution then checks the answers of the students who have applied and completes the scholarship selection form by adding any missing information.

[0253] This scholarship selection form may be sent directly to the company (business operator terminal 50) to help the company select students to receive the scholarship. However, the scholarship selection form includes personal information such as grades and attendance rate, or similar information. Therefore, for example, the educational institution selects the students the company desires based on the contents of the scholarship selection form and recommends only the desirable students to the company. In other words, a list of students narrowed down by the educational institution is sent from the educational institution terminal 40 to the business operator terminal 50 via the job information management device 10.

[0254] The company selects scholarship recipients from among the recommended students. At this time, the company can communicate with the student by selecting the chat information display button 5005, as described above. Therefore, the company can ask the student to arrange an interview or request personal information such as grades and attendance rate or similar information. The student may also request a person in charge at the educational institution (e.g., a career counselor) to send the information, such as grades and attendance rate, entered in the scholarship selection form to the company (operator terminal 50).

[0255] When the company decides which student will receive the scholarship, the company (business operator terminal 50) sends a notification of the decision to the educational institution (educational institution terminal 40) to which the student belongs. The educational institution (educational institution terminal 40) then sends a notification to the student (student terminal 30) to whom the scholarship has been decided.

[0256] Furthermore, information about scholarships will only be posted in the list of job information for students who meet the conditions for the scholarship that the company desires. In other words, the system narrows down the candidates in advance based on the conditions for students that the company desires, and only students who meet the conditions can apply for the scholarship from the student terminal 30.

[0257] According to the system of this embodiment, job information is provided to students based on the settings related to donations made to the educational institution they are enrolled in. This not only allows students to conduct job hunting activities with a focus on contributing to society, but also encourages businesses seeking talented personnel to donate to educational institutions, which is expected to lead to improvements in the facilities and equipment of educational institutions, for example.

[0258] Here, the job information management device 10 is an example of an information processing device. The job information receiving unit 110 is an example of an acquisition means. The donation setting unit 120 is an example of a receiving means and related means. The job information providing unit 130 is an example of a display means. The donation inquiry notifying unit 140 is an example of a request notifying means. The donation offer notifying unit 150 is an example of an offer notifying means. The invoice issuing unit 160 is an example of an invoice issuing means. The receipt issuing unit 170 is an example of a receipt issuing means.

[0259] Although the present embodiment has been described above, the above-described embodiment is merely an example for facilitating understanding of the present disclosure and is not intended to limit or construe the present disclosure. Furthermore, the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and modifications, improvements, etc. within the scope of achieving the object of the present disclosure are included in the present disclosure.
