The following describes an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the drawings.

Before describing an embodiment of the present invention, we will first briefly describe the service to which an embodiment of the information processing device of the present invention is applied (hereinafter, referred to as "this service").

This service is related to a Personal Data Store (hereinafter abbreviated as "PDS").
A PDS is a database that enables individuals to manage their personal data, and a service that uses the database.
Here, personal data includes, for example, information about personal attributes (hereinafter referred to as "personal attributes"). Such information about personal attributes is hereinafter referred to as "personal attribute information."
Specifically, for example, personal attribute information includes various information about an individual, such as the career of the individual, particularly a career including personal information, educational history, and work history. Hereinafter, information about the career among personal attribute information will be referred to as "career information." Furthermore, among "career information," information about educational history will be referred to as "educational history information," and information about work history will be referred to as "work history information."

In this service, the educational and work history of each of multiple job seekers, among their personal attributes (e.g., educational history, work history, gender, etc.), is authenticated, registered, and then integrated and managed centrally.
Here, as authentication of each of the educational background and the work history, for example, in this embodiment, the validity of each of the educational background and the work history is confirmed as authentication.
Furthermore, with this service, educational and employment history that is integrated and managed centrally in this way can be referenced or certificates issued upon request from job seekers, etc.
That is, this service includes services such as integrated management of the educational and employment history of job seekers, and services such as referencing and issuing certificates regarding the educational and employment history of job seekers.
Further details of this service will be specifically explained below with reference to FIG.

Figure 1 is a diagram showing an overview of this service, which is applied to an information processing system including a PDS server according to an embodiment of the information processing device of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, in step SF1, a job seeker U requests an educational institution S such as a school (hereinafter referred to as “school S”) at which the job seeker U has attended or is currently enrolled to register his/her educational background in the PDS server 1.
Similarly, in step SF1, a job seeker U requests an organization C such as a company where he or she has worked or is currently working (hereinafter referred to as “company C”) to register his or her work history in the PDS server 1.

In step SF2, the school etc. S accesses the application website WS and inputs information indicating the educational background (including grades, etc.) of the job seeker U as educational background information EI.
Here, the authentication authority A is an authority that certifies personal attributes including academic background, work history, etc., and in this embodiment, for example, is an authority independent of the service provider G, who is the administrator of the PDS server 1 described later.
The application website WS is a website managed by the certification authority A, and has the function of accepting various applications required for this service.
In this embodiment, the educational information EI includes personal information about the job seeker U, such as the name (kanji and reading), date of birth, age, sex, and current address. The educational information EI also includes the course history (year, course subjects acquired, number of credits, and evaluation) and grades for each course at the school S. The educational information EI also includes information about the school S (such as the name of the school).

In step SF3, the company C accesses the application website WS and inputs information indicating the work history (including evaluations, etc.) of the job seeker U as work history information WI.
Here, the work history information WI in this embodiment includes personal information such as the name (kanji, reading kana), date of birth, age, sex, current address, daytime contact information, e-mail address, hobbies, special skills, nearest station, whether or not the person has a spouse, and spouse's obligation to support the spouse, regarding the job seeker U. The work history information WI also includes information such as years of service (including years and months), job title, and annual income at the company C, as well as the skills of the job seeker U (e.g., licenses and qualifications), the person's desired entries (working hours, other preferences), and evaluations, etc.

In step SF4, the authentication organization A uses the authentication server 2 to authenticate the educational background (educational background information EI) of the job seeker U. There are no particular limitations on the authentication method, but for example, in this embodiment, a method is adopted in which the educational background information EI of the job seeker U is input by the school or the like S, and the authenticity of the information is confirmed.
The authentication organization A uses the authentication server 2 to store the authenticated educational background information EI of the job seeker U in a database that it manages. In this way, the educational background of the job seeker U is registered.
After registration, the authentication authority A uses the authentication server 2 to transmit the educational background information EI of the job seeker U to the PDS server 1 .
The service provider G uses the PDS server 1 to acquire the educational background information EI of the job seeker U transmitted from the authentication server 2 .

Similarly, in step SF4, the authentication organization A uses the authentication server 2 to authenticate the work history (work history information WI) of the job seeker U. There are no particular limitations on the authentication method, but for example, in this embodiment, a method is adopted in which the work history information WI of the job seeker U is input by the company C, and the authenticity of the information is confirmed.
The authentication organization A uses the authentication server 2 to store the authenticated work history information WI of the job seeker U in a database that it manages. In this way, the work history of the job seeker U is registered.
After registration, the authentication authority A uses the authentication server 2 to transmit the work history information WI of the job seeker U to the PDS server 1 .
The service provider G uses the PDS server 1 to acquire the work history information WI of the job seeker U transmitted from the authentication server 2 .

In step SF5, the service provider G uses the PDS server 1 to associate the educational history information EI with the work history information WI for each individual, such as a job seeker U, and store them in a database, thereby integrating and managing the authenticated educational history and work history in a centralized manner.
That is, the service provider G does not certify the educational history and employment history of the job seeker U, but manages in an integrated manner the information that has been certified by a different certification authority A.

In this embodiment, the educational background information EI and work history information WI of the job seeker U are managed using blockchain B technology.
In this way, by using the technology of the blockchain B, the risk of tampering with the educational history information EI and work history information WI of the job seeker U through unauthorized access to the PDS server 1, etc. is reduced to an extremely low level. This ensures the reliability that the educational history and work history of the job seeker U have been authenticated.

In step SF6, if the job seeker U wishes to refer to his/her own educational history and work history, he/she makes a request to the authentication authority A to that effect.
That is, a job seeker U accesses the application website WS and inputs a request to have his/her own educational and employment history referenced as reference request information RI.
Here, in this embodiment, the reference request information RI includes, for example, information indicating a desire to reference one's own career history, including educational history and work history, and may also include information indicating a desire to correct such information.
Further, for example, the job seeker U can input to the authentication authority A as reference request information RI that he/she wishes to reference only the educational background or only the work history.

In step SF7, the authentication authority A uses the authentication server 2 to send the reference request information RI to the PDS server 1 in order to search for the job seeker U's educational background information EI and work history information WI.
As a result, the service provider G uses the PDS server 1 to search for educational background information EI and work history information WI that correspond to the educational background and work history of the job seeker U.
The service provider G uses the PDS server 1 to transmit the search results (educational history information EI and work history information WI of the job seeker U) to the authentication server 2 as search result information.
The authentication authority A obtains the search results sent from the PDS server 1, that is, the educational history information EI and work history information WI of the job seeker U that have been integrated and managed collectively.
Then, the authentication institution A uses the authentication server 2 to transmit the above-mentioned search results as reference results to the job seeker U, thereby presenting the job seeker U with his/her educational background and work history (educational background information EI and work history information WI).

The job seeker U can check whether the contents of his/her educational background and work history are correct based on the presented reference results.
Furthermore, if the job seeker U finds that his/her educational and work history information is incorrect or missing, he/she can request the authentication agency A to add or change his/her educational and work history information and have his/her educational and work history information EI and WI changed.

Through the flow of steps SF6 and SF7, the job seeker U can refer to his/her own authenticated educational history and work history.
On the other hand, by following steps S8 and S9, the job seeker U can have the prospective employer R issue a certificate of his/her authenticated educational and employment history.

In step SF8, if a job seeker U wants a certificate of his/her educational and employment history to be issued by a prospective employer R, the job seeker U applies to the certification authority A for the issuance of a certificate including a resume containing the certified educational and employment history.
That is, a job seeker U accesses the application website WS and inputs a request to have a certificate issued for his/her educational and employment history as certificate issuance application information AI.
Here, in this embodiment, the certificate issuance application information AI includes, for example, the content to be included in the certificate, the number of certificates to be issued, the address and email address of the party to which the certificates will be issued (for example, the prospective employing company R), etc.
The certificate also includes the academic and work history of the job seeker U who has been authenticated by the authentication server 2 and registered in the PDS server 1. The form of the certificate is not particularly limited and may be a paper medium, but in this embodiment, an electronic medium such as PDF (Portable Document Format) is adopted.
The job seeker U can freely change the destination to which this certificate is issued and the destination to which the information on the reference results mentioned above is sent in steps SF6 and SF7.

In step SF9, the authentication organization A uses the authentication server 2 to carry out the same process as in step SF7, thereby acquiring the authenticated educational history information EI and work history information WI of the job seeker U.
The certification authority A generates certificate information CI as a certificate of authenticated educational history and work history based on the authenticated educational history information EI and work history information WI of the job seeker U, and sends the certificate to the prospective hiring company R, thereby issuing the certificate.
The certificate information CI is information that summarizes the career history of the job seeker U from the authenticated educational background information EI and work history information WI of the job seeker U, and is information that includes content equivalent to a conventional resume or curriculum vitae, etc. In other words, since the educational background information EI and work history information WI have been authenticated, the contents of these are also authenticated, and as a result, the certificate information CI plays the role of a certificate.
This allows the prospective hiring company R to view the certificate information CI as an authenticated certificate of educational history and work history. In other words, the prospective hiring company R can obtain highly reliable information on educational history, work history, etc.
For example, by viewing the certificate, the prospective hiring company R can learn what the job seeker U has studied at the school or the like S. Therefore, the prospective hiring company R can learn what knowledge and experience the job seeker U has and what knowledge and experience he or she lacks in order to work at the prospective hiring company R.

Although not shown in FIG. 1, if the prospective hiring company R wishes to know the educational and work history of the job seeker U, it can obtain the educational and work history of the job seeker U directly in the form of a certificate from a third-party certification body A, rather than from the job seeker U.
That is, when the job seeker U is looking for employment or changing jobs, the prospective hiring company R may request, with the job seeker U's consent, the issuance of certificates of the job seeker U's educational background and work history.
This allows the prospective hiring company R to obtain, in the form of a certificate, information such as educational background and work history necessary to make a decision on whether to hire the job seeker U.

The outline of this service has been described above with reference to FIG.
In this type of service, the educational and employment history of job seeker U is not only authenticated by authentication authority A and managed individually, but is also managed in an integrated manner by service provider G. Therefore, there is little risk of job seeker U's educational and employment history being tampered with, and even if it is tampered with, it is easy to determine whether or not it has been tampered with by comparing the information separately managed by authentication authority A and service provider G during searches, etc.
In other words, the educational history and work history of job seeker U in this service are authenticated, and the authentication is highly reliable because there is little risk of it being tampered with.

Furthermore, conventionally, educational history and work history are managed separately, so in order to obtain information regarding educational history and work history, it was necessary to obtain each of them separately.
In response to this, the provider G of this service can use the PDS server 1 to associate the authenticated educational background information EI of the job seeker U, etc. with the authenticated work history information WI of the job seeker U, etc., and manage them in an integrated manner as a single piece of information. This allows, for example, the authentication authority A to easily obtain the work history, including the educational background and work history of the job seeker U, all at once, simply by using the authentication server 2 to access the PDS server 1 with the name of the job seeker U, the assigned ID number, etc.
In this way, the service efficiently manages information about educational and employment history in one place, making it easy to obtain this information.

In addition, with this service, the information regarding educational and employment history is certified by certification body A, so the information provided to job seekers U and potential hiring companies R can be trusted.

Next, the configuration of an information processing system that realizes the provision of the above-mentioned service, that is, an information processing system including a PDS server 1 according to an embodiment of an information processing device of the present invention, will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the configuration of an information processing system to which the present service in FIG. 1 is applied, that is, an information processing system including a PDS server according to an embodiment of the information processing device of the present invention.

The information processing system shown in FIG. 2 is configured to include a PDS server 1, an authentication server 2, a job seeker terminal 3, a school device 4, a company device 5, and a prospective hiring company device 6.
The PDS server 1, authentication server 2, job seeker terminal 3, school or other device 4, company or other device 5, and prospective hiring company device 6 are each connected to one another via a predetermined network N such as the Internet.

The PDS server 1 is managed by the service provider G, and executes various processes for realizing the service while appropriately communicating with the authentication server 2. In this manner, in this embodiment, the PDS server 1 transmits and receives various information to and from the job seeker terminal 3, the school or other device 4, the company or other device 5, and the prospective hiring company device 6 via the authentication server 2. It should be noted that the PDS server 1 may of course transmit and receive various information to and from the job seeker terminal 3, the school or other device 4, the company or other device 5, and the prospective hiring company device 6 without going through the authentication server 2.
The PDS server 1 is authenticated by the authentication server 2, and by associating the educational history information EI and work history information WI of job seekers U and the like with each individual, the authenticated educational history and work history are integrated and managed for each individual.
Due to the system structure, the PDS server 1 is mutually connected to a job seeker terminal 3, a school device 4, a company device 5, and a prospective hiring company device 6 via an authentication server 2.

The authentication server 2 is managed by the authentication authority A, and authenticates the educational background information EI and work history information WI of job seekers U while communicating appropriately with the PDS server 1, job seeker terminals 3, school devices 4, companies devices 5, and prospective hiring companies devices 6.
Specifically, for example, the authentication server 2 acquires educational history information EI transmitted from the school or other device 4 and verifies the validity thereof, thereby authenticating the educational history of the job seeker U. Also, for example, the authentication server 2 acquires employment history information WI transmitted from the company or other device 5 and verifies the validity thereof, thereby authenticating the employment history of the job seeker U.
The authentication server 2 also obtains reference request information RI from the job seeker terminal 3 and transmits information on the reference results for the reference request information RI, thereby presenting the job seeker U with his/her authenticated educational background and work history.
Furthermore, the authentication server 2 acquires certificate issuance application information AI from the job seeker terminal 3 and transmits certificate information CI in response to the certificate issuance application information AI, thereby issuing an authenticated certificate of educational and employment history.

The job seeker terminal 3 is operated by the job seeker U and is constituted by, for example, a personal computer, a smartphone, a tablet, or the like.
The job seeker terminal 3 transmits the reference request information RI and the certificate issuance application information AI to the authentication server 2 .

The school device 4 is managed by the school S, and transmits educational history information EI to the authentication server 2.
The company device 5 is managed by the company C, and transmits work history information WI to the authentication server 2 .
The prospective employing company device 6 is operated by the prospective employing company R and receives the certificate information CI from the authentication server 2 .

Next, an example of the hardware configuration of the PDS server 1 constituting the above-mentioned information processing system will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an example of a hardware configuration of the PDS server in the information processing system shown in FIG.

The PDS server 1 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 input unit 16, an output unit 17, a memory unit 18, a communication unit 19, and a drive 20.

The CPU 11 executes various processes according to a program recorded in the ROM 12 or a program loaded from the storage unit 18 to the RAM 13 .
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 this bus 14. An input unit 16, an output unit 17, a memory unit 18, a communication unit 19, and a drive 20 are connected to the input/output interface 15.

The input unit 16 is constituted by, for example, a keyboard, and various information is inputted thereto.
The output unit 17 is composed of a display such as a liquid crystal display, a speaker, and the like.
The storage unit 18 is configured with a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) or the like, and stores various data.
The communication unit 19 communicates with other devices (such as the authentication server 2 in FIG. 2) via a network N including the Internet.

Removable media 21, such as a magnetic disk, an optical disk, a magneto-optical disk, or a semiconductor memory, is appropriately loaded into the drive 20. A program read from the removable media 21 by the drive 20 is installed in the storage unit 18 as necessary.
Further, the removable medium 21 can store various data stored in the storage unit 18 in the same manner as the storage unit 18 .

Although not shown, the authentication server 2, job seeker terminal 3, school device 4, company device 5, and prospective hiring company device 6 in FIG. 2 can also have a hardware configuration basically similar to that shown in FIG. 3. Therefore, a description of the configurations of the authentication server 2, job seeker terminal 3, school device 4, company device 5, and prospective hiring company device 6 will be omitted.

The cooperation of various hardware such as the PDS server 1 and the authentication server 2 and various software enables the execution of the history registration process and the history reference and issuance process.
The career registration process refers to a series of processes from when the authentication server 2 authenticates the educational history information EI and the work history information WI, until when the PDS server 1 registers them in association with each other.
The career reference and issuance process refers to a series of processes from presenting the educational history information EI and work history information WI, which have been integrated and managed as a result of the career registration process, for reference, to issuing a certificate.

The PDS server 1 and the authentication server 2 have a functional configuration as shown in FIG. 4 when executing the history registration process and the history reference and issuance process.
Hereinafter, the functional configuration for executing the history registration process and the history reference and issuing process executed in the PDS server 1 and the authentication server 2 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

Figure 4 is a functional block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the authentication server of the information processing system of Figure 2 and the PDS server of Figure 3 that functions during history registration processing and history reference processing.

First, the functional configuration of the history registration process on the PDS server 1 side will be described.
As shown in FIG. 4, in the CPU 11 of the PDS server 1, an educational history information acquisition unit 51, a work history information acquisition unit 52, and an integrated management unit 53 function when the career registration process is executed.
An integrated management DB 200 is provided in one area of the storage unit 18 of the PDS server 1 .

Information indicating the educational background of the job seeker U, including the course history and grades for the courses taken at the school etc. S, which is input by the school etc. device 4 at the request of the job seeker U, is authenticated by the authentication server 2 and then transmitted to the PDS server 1 as educational background information EI.
The educational background information acquisition unit 51 acquires, via the communication unit 19 , the educational background information EI of the job seeker U authenticated by the authentication server 2 .

In addition, information indicating the work history at the company C where the job seeker U has worked or is currently working, which is input by the company device 5 based on the request of the job seeker U, is authenticated by the authentication server 2 and then transmitted to the PDS server 1 as work history information WI.
The work history information acquisition section 52 acquires, via the communication section 19 , the work history information WI of the job seeker U authenticated by the authentication server 2 .

The integrated management unit 53 integrates and manages the acquired educational background information EI and work history information WI of the job seeker U in association with each other.
For example, in this embodiment, the integrated management unit 53 acquires the educational background information EI of the job seeker U acquired by the educational background information acquisition unit 51 and the work history information WI of the job seeker U acquired by the work history information acquisition unit 52. Then, the integrated management unit 53 associates the acquired educational background information EI and work history information WI and stores them in the integrated management DB 200. As a result, the authenticated educational background information EI and authenticated work history information WI of the job seeker U are integrated and registered as authenticated work history information HI of the job seeker U.
In this way, the educational background information EI and work history information WI of the job seeker U are managed together as authenticated career information HI. As a result, for example, the educational background information EI and work history information WI of the job seeker U are extracted and rearranged in chronological order, so that the career of the job seeker U can be displayed in chronological order. As a result, since the educational background and work history are not displayed separately as in a normal resume, it is possible to easily grasp the career of the job seeker U in chronological order, for example, that the job seeker U graduated from high school, got a job, enrolled in university, and got a job after graduating from university.

The integrated management unit 53 includes a standardization unit 91 .
The standardization unit 91 standardizes, in accordance with predetermined rules, each of the educational history information EI and the work history information WI that are managed in association with each individual such as a job seeker U.
Here, the standardization performed by the standardization unit 91 according to a predetermined rule will be described.
Specifically, for example, the educational history information EI includes grades from the school S. However, when the school S is a university, the method of evaluating grades differs from university to university. For example, as a method of evaluating grades for the same subject, a five-point evaluation of "excellent, good, good, acceptable, unacceptable" may be used for each of the multiple schools S, or a five-point evaluation of "5, 4, 3, 2, 1" may be used, or a ten-point evaluation may be used. Therefore, even if the prospective hiring company R wants to compare the educational history of the job seeker U with others, it is difficult to do so easily.
Therefore, the standardization unit 91 can perform standardization by, for example, converting and normalizing the grades for each university included in the educational history information EI into a unified five-level evaluation system of "A, B, C, D, E."
Similarly, the standardization unit 91 can also standardize the work history information WI in accordance with a predetermined rule. For example, if the job seeker U is or was previously engaged in sales at a company C, the standardization unit 91 can perform standardization by changing information on the evaluation of the company C so as to apply to a predetermined format depending on whether the job seeker U is in route sales or new sales. Furthermore, the standardization unit 91 can also perform standardization by changing information on the evaluation of the company C so as to apply to a predetermined format depending on the products sold and their prices, rather than simply the number of contracts concluded each month.
In this way, the prospective hiring company R can compare the educational background and work history of the job seeker U with those of others in a standardized manner, making it easy to compare and consider.

The functional configuration when the history registration process is executed on the PDS server 1 side has been described above.
Next, a functional configuration when the history registration process is executed on the authentication server 2 side will be described.
As shown in FIG. 4, in the CPU 31 of the authentication server 2, when the career registration process is executed, an educational history information acquisition unit 71, a work history information acquisition unit 72, a career authentication unit 73, and a site management unit 76 function.

The site management unit 76 mainly manages the application website WS mentioned above.

Based on a request from the job seeker U, the school etc. device 4 accesses the application website WS and inputs the job seeker U's educational history information EI.
The educational background information acquisition unit 71 acquires educational background information EI of a job seeker U via an application website WS.

Based on a request from the job seeker U, the company's device 5 accesses the application website WS and inputs the job seeker U's work history information WI.
The work history information acquisition section 72 acquires the work history information WI of the job seeker U via the application website WS.

The career authentication unit 73 is provided with an educational history authentication unit 131 and a work history authentication unit 132 .
The educational background authentication section 131 of the career authentication section 73 authenticates the educational background information EI of the job seeker U acquired by the educational background information acquisition section 71 .
The work history authentication section 132 in the work history authentication section 73 authenticates the work history information WI of the job seeker U acquired by the work history information acquisition section 72 .

For example, in this embodiment, the educational history authentication unit 131 of the career authentication unit 73 authenticates the educational history information EI by confirming the validity of the educational history information EI acquired by the educational history information acquisition unit 71. Here, the validity is confirmed when the educational history information EI of the job seeker U is acquired from the school device 4 by the application website WS. The educational history authentication unit 131 stores the authenticated educational history information EI of the job seeker U in a database (not shown) and transmits it to the PDS server 1.

For example, in this embodiment, the work history authentication unit 132 of the work history authentication unit 73 authenticates the work history information WI by confirming the validity of the work history information WI acquired by the work history information acquisition unit 72. Here, the validity is confirmed when the work history information WI of the job seeker U is acquired from the company device 5 by the application website WS. The work history authentication unit 132 stores the authenticated work history information WI of the job seeker U in a database (not shown) and transmits it to the PDS server 1.

In this way, the career authentication unit 73 authenticates each of the educational history information EI and the work history information WI, thereby improving the reliability of the educational history information EI and the work history information WI. In other words, authentication is performed not by the PDS server 1 managed by the service provider A, but by the authentication server 2 managed by the authentication organization A, which is a third party from the perspective of the service provider A, so the reliability of the educational history information EI and the work history information WI is further improved.

Among the functional configurations of the authentication server 2, the functional configuration when the history registration process is executed has been described above.
Next, a functional configuration of the authentication server 2 when the history reference and issuing process is executed will be described.

Next, the functional configuration of the history reference and issuing process on the authentication server 2 side will be described.
As shown in FIG. 4, in the CPU 31 of the authentication server 2, when the history reference and issuance process is executed, a reference application management section 74, a reference issuance management section 75, and a site management section 76 function.

First, we will explain the functional configuration when reference request information RI is acquired.

When a job seeker U wishes to refer to his/her own career information, he/she accesses the application website WS via the job seeker terminal 3 and inputs the reference request information RI.
Then, the reference application management unit 74 acquires the reference request information RI inputted to the application website WS, and provides it to the reference issuance management unit 75 .
The reference issuance management unit 75 transmits the reference request information RI provided by the reference request management unit 74 to the PDS server 1 .

Here, the functional configuration of the history reference and issuance process on the PDS server 1 side will be described.
When the reference request information RI is transmitted to the PDS server 1 and the history reference issuing process is executed, the integrated management section 53 functions in the CPU 11 of the PDS server 1 .
When the integrated management unit 53 receives the reference request information RI sent from the authentication server 2, it searches the educational background information EI and work history information WI of the job seeker U and sends the search results to the authentication server 2.

The reference issuance management unit 75 of the authentication server 2 obtains the educational background information EI and work history information WI of the job seeker U from the PDS server 1 as the search result, and provides information based on the search result to the reference application management unit 74.
Here, the information based on the search results may be the educational history information EI and work history information WI of the job seeker U who is the search result, or it may be information that has been processed from them, or newly generated information based on them.
The reference application management section 74 presents information based on the search results provided by the reference issuance management section 75 to the job seeker U via the job seeker terminal 3 as a reference result.

Next, we will explain the functional configuration when certificate issuance application information AI is acquired.

When a job seeker U wishes to issue a certificate regarding his/her career information and submit it to a prospective employer R, he/she accesses the application website WS via the job seeker terminal 3 and inputs the certificate issuance application information AI.
Therefore, the reference application management unit 74 acquires the certificate issuance application information AI entered into the application website WS, and provides it to the reference issuance management unit 75 .
The reference issuance management unit 75 transmits the certificate issuance application information AI provided by the reference application management unit 74 to the PDS server 1 .

Here, the functional configuration of the history reference and issuance process on the PDS server 1 side will be described.
When the certificate issuance application information AI is transmitted to the PDS server 1 and the history reference and issuance process is executed, the integrated management unit 53 functions in the CPU 11 of the PDS server 1 .
When the integrated management unit 53 receives the certificate issuance application information AI sent from the authentication server 2, it searches the educational background information EI and work history information WI of the job seeker U and sends the search results to the authentication server 2.

The reference issuance management unit 75 of the authentication server 2 obtains the job seeker U's educational background information EI and work history information WI from the PDS server 1 as the search result, generates certificate information CI based on it, and provides it to the reference application management unit 74.
The reference application management unit 74 issues a certificate by transmitting the certificate information CI provided by the reference issuance management unit 75 to the prospective employing company device 6 .

Above, with reference to FIG. 4, an example of the functional configuration of the authentication server of the information processing system of FIG. 2 and the PDS server of FIG. 3 that functions during the history registration process and the history reference issuance process has been described.

Conventionally, educational history and work history have been managed separately, and therefore, in order to obtain information regarding educational history and work history, it has been necessary to obtain each of them separately.
In response to this, in the PDS server 1, the educational history information acquisition unit 51 acquires authenticated educational history information EI as personal attribute information for each individual such as a job seeker U, and the work history information acquisition unit 52 acquires authenticated work history information WI. As a result, the integrated management unit 53 associates the authenticated educational history information EI of the job seeker U, etc. with the authenticated work history information WI of the job seeker U, etc. As a result, the authenticated educational history and work history are integrated and managed collectively.
In this way, information regarding the educational and work history of each individual is efficiently managed, and as a result, the educational and work history can be easily obtained.

Furthermore, the education history authentication unit 131 of the authentication server 2 authenticates the education history information EI of the job seeker U. Similarly, the work history authentication unit 132 of the authentication server 2 authenticates the work history information WI of the job seeker U. The authenticated education history information EI and work history information WI are then integrated and managed by the PDS server 1.
As a result, the information provided to job seekers U and potential hiring companies R can be made reliable.

Furthermore, each of the educational history information EI and the work history information WI of the job seeker U is standardized in accordance with a predetermined rule.
This allows the information provided to the prospective hiring company R to be consistent and uniform. As a result, the prospective hiring company R can easily compare and consider the educational backgrounds and resumes of multiple individuals, including the job seeker U.

Next, the history registration process and the history reference issuing process executed by the PDS server 1 and the authentication server 2 in FIG. 3 will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 5 is an arrow chart showing an example of the flow of a history registration process and a history reference and issuance process executed in an information processing system including an authentication server and a PDS server having the functional configuration of FIG.

First, an example of the flow of the history registration process will be described.
The history registration process is configured as a series of processes from steps S1 to S5 in FIG.

When educational history information EI is entered into the application website WS by the school's device 4 at the request of a job seeker U, the process of step S1 is executed.
That is, in step S 1 , the educational background information acquisition section 71 of the authentication server 2 acquires the educational background information EI of the job seeker U inputted by the school or other device 4 .
Then, the education background authentication unit 131 of the authentication server 2 authenticates the education background information EI of the job seeker U. The education background authentication unit 131 stores the authenticated education background information EI of the job seeker U in a database (not shown) and transmits it to the PDS server 1.
In step S2, the educational background information acquisition section 51 of the PDS server 1 acquires the educational background information EI of the job seeker U authenticated by the authentication server 2 in step S1.

On the other hand, when the work history information WI is input to the application website WS by the company's device 5 at the request of the job seeker U, the process of step S3 is executed.
That is, in step S3, the work history information acquisition section 72 of the authentication server 2 acquires the work history information WI of the job seeker U inputted by the company's device 5.
Then, the work history authentication section 132 of the authentication server 2 authenticates the work history information WI of the job seeker U. The work history authentication section 132 stores the authenticated work history information WI of the job seeker U in a database (not shown) and transmits it to the PDS server 1.
In step S4, the work history information acquisition section 52 of the PDS server 1 acquires the work history information WI of the job seeker U authenticated by the authentication server 2 in step S3.

In step S5, the integrated management unit 53 associates the authenticated educational background information EI of the job seeker U acquired in step S2 with the authenticated work history information WI of the job seeker U acquired in step S4, and stores them in the integrated management DB 200. As a result, the authenticated educational background information EI and the authenticated work history information WI are integrated and registered as authenticated work history information HI of the job seeker U.

Next, an example of the flow of a history reference issuing process will be described.
The history registration process is configured as the processes of steps S6 to S17 in FIG.

When a job seeker U wishes to refer to his/her own career information, he/she accesses the application website WS via the job seeker terminal 3 and inputs the reference request information RI.
Then, in step S 6 , the reference application management section 74 of the authentication server 2 acquires the reference request information RI entered into the application website WS by the job seeker terminal 3 .

In step S7, the reference issuance management unit 75 of the authentication server 2 acquires the reference request information RI acquired in step S6.
In step S8, the reference issuance management unit 75 of the authentication server 2 determines at least a portion of the educational background information EI and work history information WI of the job seeker U as the information to be searched based on the reference request information RI, and accesses the PDS server 1 to search for the target information.
Then, in step S9, the integrated management unit 53 of the PDS server 1 extracts the target information from the integrated management DB 200, and transmits it to the authentication server 2 as a search result.
That is, the reference and issuance management unit 75 of the authentication server 2 receives and acquires the search results (target information).

In step S10, the reference application management unit 74 of the authentication server 2 acquires information (target information) based on the search result acquired by the reference issue management unit 75 in step S9.
In step S11, the reference application management unit 74 of the authentication server 2 presents information based on the search results acquired in step S10 to the job seeker U as reference result information by, for example, displaying it on the job seeker terminal 3.

On the other hand, if a job seeker U wishes to issue a certificate regarding his/her career information and submit it to a prospective employer R, he/she accesses the application website WS via the job seeker terminal 3 and inputs the certificate issuance application information AI.
Therefore, in step S12, the reference application management section 74 of the authentication server 2 acquires the certificate issuance application information AI entered by the job seeker terminal 3 into the input form provided on the application website WS.

In step S13, the reference and issuance management unit 75 of the authentication server 2 acquires the certificate issuance application information AI acquired in step S6.
In step S14, the reference issuance management unit 75 of the authentication server 2 determines at least a portion of the educational history information EI and work history information WI of the job seeker U as the information to be searched based on the certificate issuance application information AI, and accesses the PDS server 1 to search for the target information.
Then, in step S15, the integrated management unit 53 of the PDS server 1 extracts the target information from the integrated management DB 200, and transmits it to the authentication server 2 as a search result.
That is, the reference and issuance management unit 75 of the authentication server 2 receives and acquires the search results (target information).

In step S16, the reference request management unit 74 of the authentication server 2 acquires the search result (target information) acquired by the reference issuance management unit 75 in step S15 as certificate information CI.
In step S17, the reference application management unit 74 of the authentication server 2 presents the certificate information CI acquired in step S16 to the prospective employing company R by, for example, displaying it on the prospective employing company device 6.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and modifications and improvements that can achieve the object of the present invention are included in the present invention.

For example, in the above embodiment, the PDS server 1 acquires the educational history information EI and the work history information WI, and manages them in an integrated manner, but the present invention is not limited to this.
In other words, the information acquired and managed by the PDS server 1 is not limited to the educational history information EI and the work history information WI.
Specifically, for example, the educational history information EI may include information other than information related to course history, such as club activities at the school S, student council activities, etc. Similarly, the work history information WI may include information on the achievements of the job seeker U. Here, the achievements may include, for example, information on the programs, etc. that the job seeker U actually created, and evaluations of those programs, etc.

In addition, for example, in the above embodiment, the school etc. device 4 transmits the educational history information EI, and the company etc. device 5 transmits the work history information WI, but this is not particularly limited.
In other words, the educational history information EI and the work history information WI are not limited to being transmitted from schools etc. S and companies etc. C.
Specifically, for example, the educational history information EI can include information on course history and grades of educational institutions other than educational corporations, such as cram schools and qualification exam preparation centers, in addition to educational institutions such as schools S.
Furthermore, the work history information WI may include information regarding the evaluation of the companies where the employee works part-time or as a temporary worker, in addition to the company C.
As a result, even if a job seeker U is, for example, a student with no work experience, the job history information WI can include evaluations from the company where the job seeker worked part-time, and the job seeker can use this service.

Also, for example, in the above embodiment, the PDS server 1 has been described as acquiring and managing the educational history information EI and the work history information WI from the school device 4 and the company device 5, but this is not particularly limited.
In other words, the information acquired and managed by the PDS server 1 may be information other than the educational history information EI and the work history information WI.
Specifically, for example, the PDS server 1 may acquire and manage information regarding experience and evaluations of local volunteer activities as a career history other than educational history and work history.

Also, for example, in the above embodiment, authentication is performed by confirming the legitimacy of the educational history information EI input by the school etc. S and the work history information WI input by the company etc. C, i.e., authenticating the work history of the job seeker U, but this is not particularly limited to this.
That is, the authentication may include confirming the legitimacy of the contents of the educational history information EI and the work history information WI, such as whether the contents are correct and whether they have been tampered with.

In the above embodiment, the standardization unit 91 performs standardization according to a predetermined rule for each of the educational history information EI and the work history information WI that are managed in association with each individual such as a job seeker U, but the present invention is not limited to this. In other words, the standardization according to the predetermined rule is not particularly limited.
Specifically, for example, standardization may involve ranking the schools etc. S according to their deviation scores in addition to the method of evaluating grades.
For example, if the school S is a university, the standardization unit 91 may rank each school, such as giving an S rank for a deviation score of 70 or more and an A rank for a deviation score of 60 or more. Furthermore, the standardization unit 91 may change the rank for each faculty of the university. In other words, a medical faculty may be given an A rank or higher.
This allows, for example, a prospective hiring company R to easily compare and examine the career history of the job seeker U with that of other job seekers U.

Also, for example, in the above embodiment, it has been described that the standardization unit 91 of the PDS server 1 standardizes the grades included in the educational history information EI and the evaluations included in the work history information WI, but this is not particularly limited.
In other words, standardization also includes standardization of personal attribute information itself, including educational history information EI and work history information WI.

In addition, for example, in the above embodiment, the work history includes an evaluation, but this is not particularly limited. In other words, the method of evaluating the job seeker U in the company C is not particularly limited.
Specifically, for example, programs created by the job seeker U may be subject to evaluation using Github (registered trademark).
Furthermore, for example, the career history of the skills acquired by the job seeker U as a craftsman, or a so-called skilled worker, may be subject to evaluation.

Also, for example, in the above embodiment, it has been described that the authentication authority A is an authority independent of the service provider G that manages the PDS server 1, but the present invention is not limited to this.
In other words, the authentication authority A and the provider G of this service may be the same entity.
Specifically, for example, in this service, the service provider G and the authentication authority A may be the same entity, or a third party different from the service provider G and the authentication authority A may manage the PDS server 1 and the authentication server 2.

Furthermore, for example, the above-described series of processes can be executed by hardware or software.
In other words, the functional configuration in FIG. 4 is merely an example and is not particularly limited.
In other words, it is sufficient if the information processing system is provided with a function capable of executing the above-mentioned series of processes as a whole, and the type of functional block used to realize this function is not limited to the example in FIG. 4. Furthermore, the location of the functional block is not particularly limited to that in FIG. 4 and may be arbitrary. For example, the functional block of the PDS server 1 may be transferred to the authentication server 2 or the like. Conversely, the functional block of the authentication server 2 may be transferred to the PDS server 1 or the like. Furthermore, the functional blocks of the PDS server 1 and the authentication server 2 may be transferred to the job seeker terminal 3 or the like, and the functional blocks of the job seeker terminal 3 or the like may be transferred to the PDS server 1 or the like.
Furthermore, one functional block may be configured as a single piece of hardware, a single piece of software, or a combination of both.

When the series of processes is executed by software, the program constituting the software is installed into a computer or the like from a network or a recording medium.
The computer may be a computer implemented with dedicated hardware.
Furthermore, the computer may be a computer capable of executing various functions by installing various programs, such as a server, a general-purpose smartphone, or a personal computer.

The recording medium containing such a program may be configured not only as a removable medium (not shown) that is distributed separately from the device main body in order to provide the program to the job seeker U, etc., but also as a recording medium that is provided to the job seeker U, etc. in a state where it is already installed in the device main body.

In this specification, the steps of describing a program to be recorded on a recording medium include not only processes that are performed chronologically according to the order, but also processes that are not necessarily performed chronologically but are executed in parallel or individually.
In addition, in this specification, the term "system" refers to an overall device that is composed of a plurality of devices, a plurality of means, etc.

In other words, it is sufficient for an information processing device to which the present invention is applied to have the following configuration, and various embodiments can be adopted.
That is, an information processing device to which the present invention is applied (for example, the PDS server 1 in FIG. 2)
In an information processing device (e.g., a PDS server 1) that manages information indicating attributes (e.g., educational history, occupational history, medical history, and gender) relating to an individual as attribute information,
an educational history information acquiring unit (e.g., the educational history information acquiring unit 51 in FIG. 4 ) for acquiring the attribute information indicating the educational history of the individual including the course history and grades of the courses taken at the course taking institution (e.g., school) as educational history information;

an integrated management unit (e.g., the integrated management unit 53 in FIG. 4 ) that manages the acquired educational history information and the acquired work history information for each individual in association with each other;
Equipped with.
Conventionally, educational history and work history have been managed separately, and therefore, in order to obtain information regarding educational history and work history, it has been necessary to obtain each of them separately.
In response to this, in the PDS server 1, the educational history information acquisition unit 51 acquires authenticated educational history information EI as personal attribute information for each individual such as a job seeker U, and the work history information acquisition unit 52 acquires authenticated work history information WI. As a result, the integrated management unit 53 associates the authenticated educational history information EI of the job seeker U, etc. with the authenticated work history information WI of the job seeker U, etc. As a result, the authenticated educational history and work history are integrated and managed collectively.
In this way, information regarding the educational and work history of each individual is efficiently managed, and as a result, the educational and work history can be easily obtained.

Further, the educational history information and the work history information managed in association with each individual are authenticated for validity by an information processing device (for example, the authentication server 2 in FIG. 2) different from the information processing device.
The education history authentication unit 131 of the authentication server 2 authenticates the education history information EI of the job seeker U. Similarly, the work history authentication unit 132 of the authentication server 2 authenticates the work history information WI of the job seeker U. The authenticated education history information EI and work history information WI are then integrated and managed by the PDS server 1.
