A process of outputting the display and inputting the mail address of the browse requester 50 and the determination information is executed (step S208). In the example of FIG. 10, “1. Mr. A” is clicked on the browsing information output screen 70 of FIG. 9, and when the individual information of Mr. A is input, “annual income” and “educational record” are input as the specified information. It is supposed to be. When the determination information is input and the [Next] button is pressed, the input determination information is stored in the determination information database 36 as a database (step S21).
0), the information provider 40 (Mr. A in the example of FIG. 10) who has input the designated information that the application has been made is notified by e-mail (step S212), and this browsing determination information processing is ended. The e-mail sent to the information provider 40 also includes the URL of the page displaying and outputting the permission / prohibition information input screen for inputting permission / prohibition of providing individual information for the application. FIG. 11 shows an example of the electronic mail 74 transmitted to the information provider 40.

FIG. 12 is a flow chart showing an example of the permission / prohibition information input process executed when the voting management device 30 functions as the permission / refusal information input system 33. This permission / prohibition information input process is executed when the information provider 40 clicks the URL for permission / prohibition input described in the e-mail illustrated in FIG. 11. When the permission / prohibition information input process is executed, the information management device 30 searches the determination information database 36 for the determination information regarding the information provider 40 (step S300), and sorts the retrieved determination information item 1 in ascending order. (Step S302), a list of the rearranged determination information is displayed on the permission / prohibition input screen 76 illustrated in FIG. 13, and the permission / prohibition is input (step S304). Figure 1
In the example of No. 3, since “permission” and “reject” buttons are displayed in the determination information, the permission / rejection information is input by clicking any button. In the embodiment, when there are a plurality of applications, the item 1 input as the designated information is sorted in ascending order and displayed in a list, so that it is possible to easily determine whether or not the item 1 is permitted by referring to the item 1. it can.

When the permission / prohibition information is input, the input permission / prohibition information is stored in the determination information database 36 in association with the corresponding determination information (step S306), and the mail address of the browsing requester in which the permission / refusal information is stored. (Step S308), the e-mail created based on the permission / prohibition information is transmitted to the e-mail address of the retrieved browsing requester (step S310), and the permission / prohibition information input process ends. FIG. 14 shows an example of the permission e-mail 78 created and transmitted when the permission / denial information is “permitted”, and an example of the rejection e-mail 80 created and transmitted when the permission / denial information is “reject”. Is shown in FIG. In the embodiment, FIG.
As shown in 4, when the permission / prohibition information is “permitted”, the URL of the page for browsing the individual information of the information provider 40
Is written in the permission electronic mail 78.

FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing an example of the individual information providing process executed when the voting management device 30 functions as the individual information providing system 34. This individual information providing process is executed when the browse requester 50 clicks the URL of the page for browsing the individual information described in the permission electronic mail 78 illustrated in FIG. When the individual information providing process is executed, the information management device 3
0 is the information provider 4 based on the information added to the URL.
The personal information of 0 is searched from the individual information database 35 (step S400), the personal information of the information provider 40 is displayed and output using the individual information output screen 82 illustrated in FIG. 17 (step S402), and this processing is executed. finish. In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, the individual information output screen 82 displays personal information for identifying an individual such as a photograph, a name, and an address.
