[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an aptitude diagnosis system and an aptitude diagnosis program for performing aptitude diagnosis such as occupation and qualification, and for diagnosing hobbies and education suitable for each person.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A person who cannot decide which profession to take in the future or is trying to attain some qualification but who does not know which qualification is suitable for him / her is diagnosed with the profession / qualification suitable for that person. , I have some advice. In such a diagnosis, a question is presented to a person to be diagnosed and a diagnosis result is derived from the answer to the question. Examples of questions include "Do you like talking to people?" And "Are you acting voluntarily?" In the conventional diagnosis, a common question is presented to all the persons to be diagnosed.

Note that documents and information processing devices are used to present and answer questions. When using the information processing device, the information processing device displays the question on the display device,
The person to be diagnosed inputs an answer to the information processing apparatus.

[0004]

When a common question is presented to all the persons to be diagnosed, there is a problem that the diagnosis becomes uniform. For example, if the same questions are presented to both those who like studying English and those who are interested in finance, the diagnosis will be uniform and each person's potential tendency (for example, hobby, It is difficult to make a diagnosis according to your preferences and preferences. Further, when trying to derive a diagnosis result by taking into consideration the preferences of each person in a common question, the number of questions will increase in order to determine the preferences of each subject. Then,
The burden on the diagnosed person who answers will be heavy.

Also, as many diagnoses are made,
It may become clear that it is better to change the questions presented. Conventionally, when diagnosing using an information processing device,
In order to change the question to be displayed, the administrator of the information processing device had to take measures such as changing the question data.

[0006] It is an object of the present invention to provide an aptitude diagnosis system which can judge the tendency of a person to be diagnosed and present a question suitable for each person to make a diagnosis. Another object of the present invention is to provide an aptitude diagnosis system capable of presenting more appropriate questions based on the already accumulated data without the need for the administrator to perform an operation.

[0007]

An aptitude diagnosis system according to the present invention comprises browsing record holding means for acquiring and holding information on a URL of a WEB page accessed by a terminal from a terminal of a subject to be aptitude diagnosed, Question holding means for holding the question to be presented to the subject and a diagnostic test according to the tendency of the subject based on the URL acquired from the terminal, and a test determination for extracting the question used in the diagnostic test from the question holding means. And a means for presenting the information of the question to the terminal of the person to be diagnosed via the communication network, an answer obtaining means for receiving the answer to the question from the terminal via the communication network, and a response based on the received answer It is characterized by comprising a diagnostic means for guiding the diagnostic result and a result presenting means for transmitting the diagnostic result to the terminal via the communication network.

The result presenting means transmits each diagnostic result to the terminal of the person to be diagnosed when the diagnosing means has led to a plurality of diagnostic results, and displays the diagnostic result which the person to be diagnosed judged to be appropriate among the plurality of diagnostic results. It is preferable that the test determining unit obtains from the terminal and determines the diagnostic test according to the tendency of the new diagnosed person based on the information of the diagnosis result that the past diagnosed person judged appropriate. With such a configuration, it is possible to more appropriately determine the diagnostic test as the number of diagnoses increases.

For example, a rule holding means for holding a plurality of rules for determining a diagnostic test according to the tendency of the person to be diagnosed and information on the certainty that each rule is satisfied is provided, and the test determination means is provided from the terminal. The tendency of the person to be diagnosed is judged from the acquired URL, and the diagnostic test according to the tendency of the person to be diagnosed is determined according to the rule that has the highest certainty of the rules applied to the person to be diagnosed.

Further, the tendency holding means for judging the tendency of the diagnosed person from the answer, and the rule holding means based on the tendency of the diagnosed person judged from the answer and the information of the diagnosis result judged to be appropriate by the diagnosed person. It is preferable to provide rule management means for updating the information of the certainty to be held. With such a configuration, as the number of diagnoses increases, the certainty information is updated, and the diagnostic test can be determined according to the rule having the larger certainty.

The rule management means, when a new rule different from the existing rule is established based on the tendency of the diagnosed person judged from the answer and the information of the diagnosis result judged to be appropriate by the diagnosed person, the new rule is established. And the information on the certainty that a new rule will be established are held in the rule management means.

Further, for example, for each WEB page, the URL

You can see the browsing status of page B. The terminal 40 transmits the personal information and the cookie of the person to be diagnosed to the personal information management device 20 before the person to be examined undergoes the aptitude diagnosis.

The personal information management device 20 registers the personal information and cookies received from the terminal 40 in the database.
Then, when the aptitude diagnosis server 10 determines the question to be presented to the person to be diagnosed, the personal information and the cookie of the person to be diagnosed are transmitted to the aptitude diagnosis server 10.

The rule management server 30 holds rules used by the aptitude diagnosis server 10 in determining a diagnosis test according to the tendency of the person to be diagnosed. For example, "For those who are interested in English, MBA (Master of Business Administration
). , Etc. are retained. Then, in response to a request from the aptitude diagnosis server 10, the rule is transmitted to the aptitude diagnosis server 10.

When the person to be diagnosed receives an aptitude diagnosis, the terminal 4
0 requests the aptitude diagnosis server 10 for an aptitude diagnosis. The aptitude diagnosis server 10 displays a display screen (WEB page displaying questions) of the diagnostic test on the terminal 40 in response to the request, and prompts the examinee to answer. The aptitude diagnosis server is the terminal 4
When the aptitude diagnosis is requested from 0, the personal information and the cookie of the person to be diagnosed are acquired from the personal information management device 20, and the person's preference and the like are judged. In addition, the rule management server 30
Get the rules from. Then, according to the rule, a diagnostic test according to the preference of each person to be diagnosed is determined, and the question used in the diagnostic test is displayed on the terminal 40. For example, a display screen of a diagnostic test for those who are presumed to be MBA-oriented is displayed. When the aptitude diagnosis server 10 receives the answer of the person to be diagnosed from the terminal 40, the aptitude diagnosis server 10 makes a diagnosis based on the answer and displays the diagnosis result on the terminal 40.

The suitability diagnosis server 10 presents a plurality of diagnosis results to the person to be diagnosed. Then, the person to be diagnosed specifies a diagnosis result that is judged to be appropriate as one showing his / her own diagnosis result among the displayed diagnosis results. Rule management server 30
Collects the data of the diagnosis result which is judged to be appropriate by the person to be diagnosed, and reviews the rules according to the accumulated data. The diagnosis result presented by the aptitude diagnosis server 10 is not limited to a plurality of diagnosis results. One diagnosis result may be derived depending on the answer of the person to be diagnosed.

Next, the configurations of the aptitude diagnosis server 10, the personal information management device 20, and the rule management server 30 will be described. In the aptitude diagnosis server 10, the control unit 11
Controls the whole aptitude diagnosis server 10 according to a program stored in the storage device 12. The storage device 12 stores a program that causes the control unit 11 to execute the processes shown in this example, such as an aptitude diagnosis request reception process, a diagnostic test determination process, and an information transmission / reception process with another device. In addition, the storage device 12
Stores information of various WEB pages displayed on the terminal 40. For example, the information of the WEB page that is the acceptance screen for the aptitude diagnosis is stored. The information on the WEB page is HTM
It is described in a page description language such as L (Hypertext Markup Language). The network interface unit 13

The URL database 14 holds information indicating the correspondence between URLs of various WEB pages open to the public and potential interests of the viewers of the WEB pages. FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of information held by the URL database 14. For example, if "URL1" is the URL of a WEB page related to studying English, the URL database 14 has "URL1" and "English".
Correspond to and hold. Similarly, the URL database 14 holds various URLs in association with fields such as “finance”, “consulting”, and “technology”. UR
This correspondence is registered in the L database 14 in advance.

The question database 15 holds questions used in various diagnostic tests according to the patient's intention. Figure 3
Is an example of a question used in a diagnostic test for persons presumed to be MBA-oriented. As shown in FIG. 3, the diagnostic test presents a plurality of questions. Question database 15
Holds not only "diagnosis test for people presumed to be MBA oriented" but also questions used in other diagnosis tests. For example, "a diagnostic test for those who are presumed to have a high TOEIC score", "a diagnostic test for those who are presumed to have a financial planner", "a diagnostic test for those who are presumed to be a senior system administrator" The questions used in ", etc. are retained. In addition,
TOEIC is an English ability evaluation test conducted by the International Business Communication Association.

Each diagnostic test is a question for diagnosing whether or not the estimated intention is suitable for the person to be diagnosed, and whether or not there are any relevant qualifications or certification tests that are suitable for the person to be diagnosed. Including questions to ask. Further, it also includes a question for diagnosing whether or not there is a qualification other than the field of interest of the person to be diagnosed, which is suitable for the person to be diagnosed. However, each diagnostic test is a question for diagnosing whether or not the estimated orientation is suitable for the subject, and whether or not there are any relevant qualifications or certification tests that are suitable for the subject. It is created mainly for questions. By constructing the questions in this way, it is possible to make a diagnosis centering on the qualifications in the field that is presumed to be the subject's intention, and also to supplementally qualify in other fields. For example, in the “diagnosis test for those who are presumed to be MBA-oriented”, it is possible to make a diagnosis focusing on whether or not MBA is suitable for the subject and whether or not there is another suitable qualification such as English qualification. In addition, it is possible to supplementarily diagnose whether or not a person to be diagnosed is qualified in other fields such as finance and technology.

Further, among the questions used in each diagnostic test, there is a question which can estimate the tendency of the person to be diagnosed.
For example, in the example shown in FIG. 3, if the answers to questions 1, 4, 11, and 15 are “yes”, it can be estimated that the subject is interested in English (at least not dislikes it). Similarly, if the answers to questions 2 and 9 are “yes”, it can be presumed that the diagnosed person is interested in consulting (at least not dislikes it). In addition to such questions, the question database 15 holds information about what tendency can be estimated from the answers to the questions.

In the personal information management device 20, the control unit 2
1 controls the entire personal information management device 20 according to a program stored in the storage device 22. The storage device 22 stores a program that causes the control unit 21 to execute the processes shown in this example, such as a process of acquiring personal information and cookies, a process of transmitting personal information and cookies to the aptitude diagnosis server 10.
The storage device 22 also stores various WEs displayed on the terminal 40.
Store information on page B. For example, the information of the WEB page which is the input screen of personal information is stored. The network interface unit 23 transmits / receives information to / from the terminal 40 via the Internet 50, and transmits / receives information to / from the aptitude diagnosis server 10 via the LAN 51.

The personal information database 24 stores the personal information received from the terminal 40. The control unit 21 uses the terminal 4
When personal information such as the name, age, address, hobbies of the person to be diagnosed is received from 0, the ID (Identifica
option number), and personal information such as name is registered in the personal information database 24 in association with the ID. The control unit 21 sends the assigned ID to the terminal 40 to notify the person to be diagnosed.

The browsing record database 25 stores the cookie received from the terminal 40 in association with the ID. The control unit 21 receives the cookie from the terminal and registers the cookie in association with the ID. It should be noted that a plurality of terminals may store cookies with a common file name (for example, "cookies.txt" or the like). Then, the control unit 21 receives the cookie having the same file name from different terminals. In this case, in order to associate each cookie with an ID, for example, the cookie file name is changed so that the cookie is uniquely determined, and information indicating the correspondence between the file name and the ID is registered in the browsing record database 25. do it. Also, depending on the type of browser of the terminal, a plurality of cookies may be received from one terminal. In this case, the file name of each cookie may be changed so that each cookie is uniquely determined, one ID may be associated with the file names of a plurality of cookies, and information indicating the corresponding relationship may be registered.

In the rule management server 30, the control unit 3
1 controls the entire rule management server 30 according to a program stored in the storage device 32. The storage device 32 stores a program for causing the control unit 31 to execute a process of transmitting a rule to the aptitude diagnosis server 10 and a process shown in this example such as a rule management process. Network interface unit 3
3 transmits / receives information to / from the aptitude diagnosis server 10 via the LAN 51.

The rule database 34 holds rules used when the aptitude diagnosis server 10 determines a diagnosis test according to the tendency of the person to be diagnosed. FIG. 4 shows an example of rules held by the rule database 34. The rule includes a condition part (for example, "people who are interested in English") and a conclusion part (for example, "people who are interested in English are for MBA") such as "people who are interested in English are for MBA". The rule database 34 may hold rules having the same condition part but different conclusion parts. For example, "If you are interested in English,
Become an MBA. And the rule that "people who are interested in English aim for a high TOEIC score."

The rule database 34 holds information on the probability (certainty) of the establishment of each rule as well as each rule. The probability is expressed as the ratio of the number of applicable persons who satisfy the conclusion section to the population which satisfies the condition section.
The initial value of the probability of the rule prepared in advance is obtained by a questionnaire survey or the like. For example, we surveyed how many MBA-oriented people who like studying English, and based on the results, "If you are interested in English,
Aim. The initial value of the probability of the rule is defined. When the aptitude diagnosis server 10 presents a plurality of diagnosis results to the person to be diagnosed and the person to be diagnosed specifies an appropriate one as his or her diagnosis result, the control unit 31 updates the probability of each rule. The probability updating process will be described later.

In this example, the browsing record holding means is realized by the control unit 21 and the browsing record database 25. The question holding means is realized by the question database 15. The test determining means is the control unit 11 and the UR.
It is realized by the L database 14. The diagnosis unit and the tendency determination unit are realized by the control unit 11. The question presentation means, the answer acquisition means, and the result presentation means are realized by the control unit 11 and the network interface unit 13. The rule holding unit is realized by the rule database 34. The rule management means is realized by the control unit 31.

Further, in this example, the aptitude diagnosis server 10
The storage device 12 has a function of acquiring the information of the URL of the WEB page accessed by the terminal of the person to be diagnosed who undergoes the aptitude diagnosis, and the URL determines the diagnostic test according to the tendency of the person to be diagnosed in advance. Function to extract questions to be used in diagnostic test from multiple held questions, function to send question information to the terminal of the person to be diagnosed via communication network, receive answers to questions from terminals via communication network An aptitude diagnosis program for realizing a function of performing a diagnosis result, a function of guiding a diagnosis result based on a received answer, and a function of transmitting a diagnosis result to a terminal via a communication network are stored.

Next, the operation will be described. FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing an example of the processing progress of the aptitude diagnosis system.
Before being subjected to the aptitude diagnosis by the aptitude diagnosis server 10, the diagnosed person registers the personal information and the cookie stored in the terminal 40 in the personal information management device 20. First, terminal 4
0 transmits personal information to the personal information management device 20 according to the operation of the person to be diagnosed (step S101). Step S
At 101, the terminal 40 requests the personal information management apparatus 20 for a web page that is an input screen for personal information, and acquires and displays the web page. This WEB page includes input fields for name, age, address, hobbies, etc., and a send button for instructing transmission. When personal information such as name, age, address, hobbies, etc. is entered in the displayed WEB page and the send button is clicked with the mouse, the terminal 40 stores the entered personal information in the personal information management device 20 via the Internet 50. Send to.

When the control section 21 of the personal information management device 20 receives the personal information, the control section 21 sends the I
Assign D. Then, the personal information received from the terminal 40 is registered in the personal information database 24 in association with the ID (step S102). Subsequently, the control unit 21 transmits the assigned ID to the terminal 40 (step S103),
Notify the subject of the ID. The terminal 40 displays the received ID, and the diagnosed person confirms his / her ID by this display.

The person to be diagnosed follows the personal information and then the terminal 40.
Transmits the cookie stored by the personal information management device 20 to the personal information management device 20 (step S104). In step S104, the terminal 40 requests the WEB page for transmitting the cookie from the personal information management device 20, acquires the WEB page, and displays the WEB page. This WEB page is provided with an ID input field and a send button for instructing the sending of the ID and the cookie. ID is entered on the displayed WEB page,
If the send button is clicked with the mouse, the terminal 40
Transmits the cookie and the input ID to the personal information management device 20. Control unit 21 of personal information management device 20
When the ID and the cookie are received, the cookie is registered in the browsing record database 25 in association with the ID (step S105).

By the operations of steps S101 to S105, the personal information and the cookie of the person to be diagnosed are registered in the personal information management device 20. After this, the subject undergoes an aptitude diagnosis. When receiving an aptitude diagnosis, first, the terminal 40
Requests the aptitude diagnosis server 10 for the aptitude diagnosis (step S106). The aptitude diagnosis is requested by transmitting the ID. In step S106, the terminal 40
Requests the aptitude diagnosis server 10 for a WEB page which is a reception screen for the aptitude diagnosis, acquires and displays the WEB page. This WEB page is provided with an ID input field and a send button for instructing transmission. When the ID is input to the WEB page and the send button is clicked with the mouse, the terminal 40 transmits the input ID to the aptitude diagnosis server 10 via the Internet 50.

Subsequently, the control unit 11 of the aptitude diagnosis server 10
Specifies the received ID and confirms whether or not there is a person to be diagnosed identified by the ID.
0 is requested (step S107). The control unit 21 of the personal information management device 20 confirms whether the personal information corresponding to the designated ID is registered in the personal information database 24. If the personal information corresponding to the ID is registered, the control unit 21 determines that the diagnosed person exists, and if the personal information corresponding to the ID is not registered, the control unit 21 determines that the diagnosed person identified by the ID does not exist. When it is determined that the person to be diagnosed exists, the control unit 21 extracts the personal information and the cookie corresponding to the ID from the personal information database 24 and the browsing record database 25, and sends them to the aptitude diagnosis server 10 (step S108). .

When it is determined that there is no subject to be diagnosed, the control unit 21 sends information to that effect to the aptitude diagnosis server 10
Send to. At this time, the aptitude diagnosis server 10 outputs information indicating that the ID input by the person to be diagnosed is incorrect, to the terminal 40.
To display.

The control unit 11 of the aptitude diagnosis server 10 receives the personal information and the cookie, and then the rule management server 3
Request a rule for defining a diagnostic test to 0 (step S109). Control unit 31 of rule management server 30
Responds to this request and sends each rule registered in the rule database 34 to the aptitude diagnosis server 10 (step S110). However, when there are a plurality of rules having the same condition part but different conclusion parts, the rule having the highest probability of establishment (the highest certainty) is transmitted to the aptitude diagnosis server 10. For example, in the case of the example shown in FIG. 4, there are a plurality of rules having a condition part “Person who is interested in English”. In this case, if the probability that the rule "Aim at MBA" is satisfied is highest, the rule "A person who is interested in English aims at an MBA" is transmitted. Similarly, the rule with the highest probability is transmitted for the rule having other conditional parts such as "person who is interested in finance".

The control section 11 of the aptitude diagnosis server 10 determines a diagnostic test for the person to be diagnosed based on the information received in steps S108 and S110 (step S111). In step S111, the control unit 11
Extracts the URL from the cookie. Then, the information (interest of the person to be diagnosed) corresponding to the URL is extracted from the URL database 14. In addition, the control unit 11 controls U
Among the information extracted from the RL database 14 for each URL, the tendency of the diagnosed person is judged from the most extracted information. For example, cookie URL1, URL3, and U
It is assumed that RL10 is included. At this time, the control unit 11
Extracts "English", "English", and "technology" as information corresponding to each URL. Since the item “English” is extracted most, the control unit 11 determines that the diagnosed person has a tendency of “being interested in English”.

At this time, the hobby item of the personal information may be referred to. For example, if your hobby was "English", each U
The number of “English” extracted as the information corresponding to the RL may be increased.

Subsequently, the control unit 11 defines a rule to be applied to the person to be diagnosed from the received rules, and specifies the diagnostic test according to the rule. A rule in which the tendency of the diagnosed person satisfies the condition part is a rule applied to the diagnosed person. For example, if the field in which the diagnosed person is interested is “English”, according to the rule “A person who is interested in English is MBA-oriented” in the acquired rules, “MBA-oriented” is used. Then, it is decided to carry out a diagnostic test for those who are presumed. Then, the question used in this diagnostic test is extracted from the question database 15.

The control section 11 sends the display screen of the diagnostic test determined in step S111 to the terminal 40 (step S112). FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the display screen of the diagnostic test. This WEB page also includes an answer column 61 for each question and a reply send button 62. The terminal 40 displays the display screen of the diagnostic test, and the diagnosed person inputs the answer of each question into the answer column 61. If the send button 62 is clicked with the mouse, the terminal 40 sends the answer of the person to be diagnosed to the aptitude diagnosis server 10 (step S11).
3).

The judgment procedure for judging the qualifications suitable for the person to be diagnosed from the answers of the person to be diagnosed is determined in advance for each diagnostic test. The control unit 11 determines the qualifications and the like suitable for the subject according to this determination procedure. The control unit 11 guides a plurality of diagnosis results. That is, a plurality of qualifications suitable for the diagnosed person are derived. However, the control unit 11 may lead one diagnosis result.

Further, the control unit 11 estimates the preference of the person to be diagnosed from the answers of the questions included in the diagnostic test and for which the preference of the person to be diagnosed can be estimated. For example,
If the answer to question 1 shown in FIG. 6 is “yes”, it is estimated that the diagnosed person is interested in English. Further, for example, if the answer to question 2 is “yes”, it is estimated that the diagnosed person is interested in consulting. This estimation is performed using information held in the question database 15 (information illustrated in FIG. 3).

Next, the control unit 11 displays W for displaying the diagnosis result.
The EB page is transmitted to the terminal 40 (step S114),
The terminal 40 displays the diagnosis result. FIG. 7 shows an example of a WEB page displaying the diagnosis result. This WEB page is
A designation field 63 in which the person to be diagnosed himself / herself designates a diagnostic result suitable for himself / herself, and a send button 6 for instructing transmission of the designated result
4 is provided. The person to be diagnosed clicks on the designation column 63 corresponding to the qualification that suits the person to be diagnosed or the diagnosis result that is judged to be appropriate as the diagnosis result of the test. When the send button 64 is clicked with the mouse, the terminal 40 sends the designated result to the aptitude diagnosis server 10 (step S11).
5).

Subsequently, the control unit 11 of the aptitude diagnosis server 10
Is the rule management server 30 that provides the diagnosis result judged to be appropriate by the diagnosed person and the information of the field estimated to be interested in the diagnosed person based on the answer (information on the tendency of the diagnosed person judged from the answer). (Step S116).

The control unit 31 of the rule management server 30 updates the probability of the rule held in the rule database 34 based on the information received in step S116 (step S117). The control unit 31 increases the number of populations by 1 with respect to the probability of a rule using a field estimated to be the subject's interest as a condition part. Then, of the rules that use the field as the condition section, the probability of the rule that uses the diagnosis result that has been determined to be appropriate as the conclusion section is increased by one.

For example, it is assumed that the fields estimated to be of interest to the diagnosed person are “English” and “technology”. In this case, the control unit 31 increments the number of populations of each rule with “person who is interested in English” and “person who is interested in technology” as the condition portion by one. Then, of the diagnostic results illustrated in FIG. 7, the diagnosed person determines that the MBA and the senior system administrator are suitable for himself, and provides information that the diagnostic results that recommend these two are appropriate. Step S1
It is assumed that the data is transmitted at 16. In this case, the control unit 31
Among the rules that have the conditions of "people who are interested in English" and "people who are interested in technology", the conclusion part is "oriented to MBA" or "oriented to senior system administrator". Increase the number of hits by 1 for the probability of the rule. Therefore, in the case of this example, the probability of the rule such as "people who are interested in English prefer MBA" is high.

When a rule different from the existing rule is established, in which the field presumed to be of interest to the diagnosed person is used as the condition section, and the diagnosis result judged to be appropriate by the diagnosed person is used as the conclusion section. Is the rule database 3
Register in 4. For example, suppose that there is no rule that "people who are interested in English are oriented to senior system administrators." Then, as described above, the diagnosed person who is presumed to be interested in "English" and "technology"
Assume that you have selected diagnostic results that recommend an MBA and a senior system administrator. In this case, the control unit 31
A new rule "If you are interested in English, turn to senior system administrator" is registered in the rules database. It also defines the initial value of the probability that this rule will hold. The initial value of the probability may be determined by setting the number of persons who satisfy the conclusion part as one.

According to the present invention, the WE viewed by the diagnosed person
The orientation of the person to be diagnosed is estimated from the URL of page B and a diagnostic test is determined for each person to be diagnosed. Therefore, a question suitable for each person can be presented according to the taste of the person to be diagnosed. Further, since it is not necessary to increase the number of questions to be presented to the examinee, the burden on the examinee who answers is not increased. Further, in the above example, the subject is made to determine an appropriate one among the plurality of diagnosis results, and the probability that each rule is satisfied is updated. Then, for the rules having the same condition part, the rule with the highest probability of being established is adopted, so that the question can be presented according to the rule with the higher probability as the number of diagnoses increases. For example, if the probability of the rule that "people who are interested in English aim for a high TOEIC score" increases, "TO
You can display the questions used in the diagnostic test for those who are presumed to have a high EIC score.

In the first embodiment, the case where the condition part of the rule includes only one condition has been described. Next, as a second embodiment, a case where the condition included in the condition part is not limited to one will be described. In the second embodiment, the condition part of the rule may include a plurality of conditions such as "those who are interested in English and finance" and "those who are interested in English, consulting and technology". .

The operation up to step S110 in this example is the same as in the case of the first embodiment. Therefore, in step S110, the rule management server 30 transmits, to the aptitude diagnosis server 10, rules having the same condition part but different conclusion parts, which have the highest probability of being satisfied. For example, the rule with the highest probability is sent out of the rules that have the "participants interested in English" as the conditional part, and the probability with respect to rules with other conditional parts such as "participants who are interested in English and finance" is also probable. Send the highest one.

The control unit 11 of the aptitude diagnosis server 10 extracts information corresponding to each URL included in the cookie from the URL database 14 in step S111.
Then, based on the information, the rule applied to the person to be diagnosed is specified, and the diagnostic test is determined according to the rule with the highest probability of being established. If the information corresponding to the URL satisfies the condition part, the rule is applied to the subject. For example, it is assumed that the information corresponding to the URL is "English" and "consulting". Then, the condition parts "person who is interested in English", "person who is interested in consulting", and "person who is interested in English and consulting" are satisfied. In this case, among the rules having these condition parts, the test is determined according to the rule with the highest probability.

The operations of steps S112 to S116 are the same as in the case of the first embodiment. Next step S
At 117, the probability is updated even for the rule including a plurality of conditions in the condition part. For example, it is assumed that the person to be diagnosed is presumed to be interested in “English”, “finance” and “consulting” according to the answer from the person to be diagnosed. Further, it is assumed that the person to be diagnosed determines that “MBA” and “SME diagnostician” are suitable for him / her in the diagnosis result in step S115. In this case, the person to be diagnosed is not only the person who is interested in English, who is interested in finance, and who is interested in consulting, but also who is interested in English and finance. The conditions are also "those who are interested in English and consulting", "those who are interested in finance and consulting", and "those who are interested in English and finance and consulting". Therefore, for the probabilities of rules with these conditional parts, the number of populations is 1
To increase. Further, among the rules having these condition parts, the probability of the rule having the conclusion part of "Aim at MBA" or "Aim at SME diagnostician" also increases by one.

Further, when a new conditional part is derived from a combination of fields of interest of the person to be diagnosed, the control part 31 registers a new rule having the conditional part in the rule database 34. For example, if there is no rule having a conditional part "A person who is interested in English, finance and consulting", "A person who is interested in English, finance and consulting prefers an MBA." Create rules. In this case, the initial value of the probability is set to 1 for the population and 1 for the corresponding person. That is, the initial value of the probability is 1/1. However, the rule management server 30
If the population does not reach a certain number, it may be determined that the rule does not hold.

Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. In each of the above examples, the same question is presented to those who have the same intention. The third embodiment makes it possible to change the question even for those who have the same intention. For example, even in the “diagnosis test for those who are presumed to be MBA-oriented”, the question can be changed according to the person to be diagnosed. As mentioned above, each diagnostic test is a question for diagnosing whether the estimated orientation is suitable for the subject, and whether there are any relevant qualifications or certification tests that are suitable for the subject. Including questions to diagnose Further, it also includes a question for diagnosing whether or not there is a qualification other than the field of interest of the person to be diagnosed, which is suitable for the person to be diagnosed. In the third embodiment, some of these various questions can be changed.

In the first and second embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, the questions are fixedly set for one diagnostic test. In the third embodiment, the question used in each diagnostic test is determined by a combination of a plurality of question groups. FIG. 8 is an example of a question used in a diagnostic test for those who are presumed to be MBA-oriented. The question group A shown in FIG. 8 is a question for determining whether or not the diagnosed person is suitable for the MBA, and a question for diagnosing whether or not there is an English-related qualification suitable for the diagnosed person. Is a group of. Question group B is a group of questions for supplementarily diagnosing whether or not there is a qualification suitable for the subject in each field other than English. Question groups C and D are “technology” and
This is a group of questions for supplementary diagnosis as to whether or not there is a qualification suitable for the diagnosed person in the field of "finance". "T
A plurality of question groups are prepared in the same manner as in FIG. 8 in other diagnostic tests such as "a diagnostic test for a person who is presumed to aim for a high OEIC score".

Control unit 11 of aptitude diagnosis server 10 of this example
Extracts the information corresponding to each URL included in the cookie from the URL database 14 when the test is determined in step S111. Then, the tendency of the person to be diagnosed is judged from the most extracted information among the information extracted for each URL. For example, if "English" was the most common information among URLs, "If you are interested in English,
Become an MBA. According to the rules such as "
Judge that he or she is aiming for BA.

Subsequently, the control unit 11 extracts a question group according to the result of the decision made by the person to be diagnosed. Then, it is determined which question group to select as a question for diagnosing whether or not there is a qualification other than the field in which the person to be diagnosed is suitable, or the like. Hereinafter, a diagnostic test for a person presumed to be MBA-oriented will be described as an example. The question group A illustrated in FIG. 8 is included in the questions used in this diagnostic test, and which question group is selected from the other question groups B, C, and D is determined.

The control unit 11 counts, for each item, the number of URLs specifying items other than "English". Then, the question group is selected according to the ratio of the URL of each item to the entire URL included in the cookie. If the number of URLs of each item other than "English" has not reached a predetermined ratio (for example, 10%) to the entire URL, the question group B is selected. If the number of "technology" URLs reaches a predetermined ratio, the question group C is selected, and if the number of "finance" URLs reaches a predetermined ratio, the question group D is selected. In this manner, the question group A and the question group B are combined, or the question group A and the question group C are combined to determine the question to be presented to the subject.

In the third embodiment, the suitability of each person can be diagnosed more accurately. For example, for those who often browse WEB pages in the "technology" field in addition to "English",
By presenting the question group C in addition to the question group A, it is possible to supplementarily diagnose whether or not there is a qualification suitable for the person to be diagnosed in the field of “technology”. For those who do not often browse WEB pages in fields other than "English", present question group B to supplement whether or not there is a qualification suitable for the diagnosed person in a wide field other than English. I can diagnose.

Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described. The suitability diagnosis system of this example does not include the rule management server 30, but includes the suitability diagnosis server 10 and the personal information management device 20. The configurations of the aptitude diagnosis server 10 and the personal information management device 20 are the same as those shown in FIG.
However, the URL database 14 stores the URL and its W
It holds information indicating a correspondence relationship with qualifications and the like (estimated WEB page viewer tendencies) that are presumed to be oriented by EB page readers. Furthermore, the URL database 14
Also holds the score (numerical value) indicating the certainty of the estimation in correspondence. FIG. 9 shows an example of information held by the URL database 14. In the example shown in FIG. 9, WEB page viewers with URL 21 and URL 23 may both be MBA-oriented, but WEB page viewers with URL 21 are more likely to be MBA-oriented. . The question database 15 holds questions used in various diagnostic tests as illustrated in FIG.

The aptitude diagnosis system of this example performs the processing of steps S101 to S108 similarly to the above-mentioned examples. Then, the diagnostic test according to the subject is determined without performing the processes of steps S109 and S110. At this time, the control unit 11 of the aptitude diagnosis server 10 determines the orientation of the person to be diagnosed based on the URL extracted from the cookie and the information held by the URL database 14. That is, for each extracted URL, it is determined what kind of qualification the person to be diagnosed may have. Then, the scores are aggregated for each qualification, and the one with the highest score is judged as the qualification or the like that the examinee is aiming for. Subsequently, the questions used in the diagnostic test for those who are interested in the qualification are extracted from the question database 15. The subsequent operation is from step S112.
The same as S115.

However, the operations of steps S116 and S117 are not performed. The control unit 11 of the aptitude diagnosis server 10 updates the score information held in the URL database 14 after step S115. At this time, the control unit 11 confirms the diagnosis result (qualification or certification test) designated by the person to be diagnosed in step S115. Then, among the URLs extracted from the cookie when determining the diagnostic test, the score held in the URL database 14 is increased for the URL corresponding to the qualification or the certification test. Control unit 1
Although 1 was presented as the diagnosis result, the diagnosis result (for qualification or certification test) not specified by the person to be diagnosed in step S115 is also confirmed. Then, among the URLs extracted from the cookie, the score held in the URL database 14 is reduced for the URLs corresponding to the qualifications not specified in step S115.

In the aptitude diagnosis system of this example, the orientation of the person to be diagnosed can be judged based on the score held in the URL database 14, and a question suitable for each person can be presented. Then, the diagnosis subject is made to determine an appropriate one of the plurality of diagnosis results, and the score held in the URL database 14 is updated. Therefore, as the number of diagnoses increases, more appropriate questions can be presented to the subject.

In this example, the browsing record holding means is realized by the control unit 21 and the browsing record database 25. The question holding means is realized by the question database 15. The test determining unit, the diagnosing unit, and the tendency information managing unit are realized by the control unit 11. The question presentation means, the answer acquisition means, and the result presentation means are realized by the control unit 11 and the network interface unit 13. The tendency information holding unit is realized by the URL database 14.

Next, a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described. The configuration of the aptitude diagnosis system of this example is similar to that of the fourth embodiment. However, rule database 1
4 holds the information illustrated in FIG. 2 instead of the information illustrated in FIG. In this case, when determining the diagnostic test, the control unit 11 extracts the URL from the cookie. Then, using the information (corresponding information illustrated in FIG. 2) held in the URL database 14, the information corresponding to each URL is extracted. Further, the control unit 11 confirms in which field the most information is extracted. The control unit 11 controls each URL
Tests corresponding to the largest number of fields corresponding to are extracted from the question database 15. However, which test is extracted according to each field is determined in advance. For example, if "English" is the most frequently used field derived from the URL, it is determined that "test for MBA-oriented people" will be extracted.

Even with such an aptitude diagnosis system,
It is possible to present a test suitable for each person according to the taste of the subject. In the fifth embodiment, the person to be diagnosed does not update the rule or the score based on the diagnosis result (qualification or test) specified in step S115.

Further, in each of the above embodiments, the case has been shown in which the person to be diagnosed intentionally operates the send button or the like to send the cookie. The cookie may be transmitted without the conscious operation of the person to be diagnosed. In this case, the operations of steps S104 and S105 are not performed after step S103. The terminal 40 automatically sends a cookie to the aptitude diagnosis server 10 when requesting the aptitude diagnosis reception screen from the aptitude diagnosis server 10 in step S106. The aptitude diagnosis server 10 stores this cookie in the memory area (storage device 12) in association with the ID input on the acceptance screen for the aptitude diagnosis. When the ID is designated in step S107 and the existence of the person to be diagnosed is confirmed in step S108, the personal information management device 20 transmits only the personal information to the aptitude diagnosis server 10. Subsequent operations are the same as those in the above-mentioned respective embodiments.

In this way, the terminal 40 is the aptitude diagnosis server 1
When accessing 0, a cookie may be transmitted without a conscious operation by the person to be diagnosed, and the aptitude diagnosis server 10 may acquire the cookie directly from the terminal 40 to determine the diagnosis test. In this case, the personal information management device 20 does not have to include the browsing record database 25.

The present invention can be applied not only to diagnosis of qualifications and certification tests, but also to career diagnosis (diagnosis of occupation, etc.). Furthermore, it can also be applied when recommending hobbies and education suitable for the diagnosed person. For example, if you are thinking about starting a hobby or acquiring some kind of education, but are wondering what to do, the Culture Center etc. diagnoses and recommends hobbies and education that suits that person. This system can be applied in some cases.

An example of the case where a culture center or the like makes an aptitude diagnosis using the present invention will be described below. In this case, the URL
The database 14 holds various URLs in association with various fields of hobbies and education ("music", "literary arts", "arts", etc.). For example, the URL of a music-related WEB page
And the information "music" is associated. Further, the question database 15 holds questions used in various diagnostic tests such as "a diagnostic test for a person who is presumed to be a chorus" and "a diagnostic test for a person who is presumed to be a haiku creator". .

The questions used in the various diagnostic tests are questions for diagnosing whether or not the estimated intention is suitable for the person to be diagnosed, and whether there are any questions related to the hobby or education that are suitable for the person to be diagnosed. Create mainly questions to diagnose. Then, a question for diagnosing whether or not there is a hobby suitable for the subject other than the field in which the subject is interested is included. For example, in the “diagnostic test for chorus-oriented people”, it is suitable for the subject in the question for diagnosing whether chorus is suitable for the diagnosed person and in the field related to chorus (the field of music). Create questions centering on questions to diagnose whether or not you have a hobby. Then, a question for diagnosing whether or not there is a hobby suitable for the subject in fields other than music is included.

The rule database 34 includes: "People who are interested in music are interested in chorus.", "People who are interested in music are interested in playing musical instruments.""People who are interested in literary arts are haiku." Retain rules such as "Aim for creation." The rule database 34 holds, together with each rule, the probability that each rule holds. A plurality of rules may be included in the condition part of the rule.

When the aptitude diagnosis is requested from the terminal 40, the control section 11 of the aptitude diagnosis server 10 acquires the cookie or rule as in the above case, and the W accessed by the terminal 40 is accessed.
Specify the URL of the EB page. Information stored in the URL database 14 in association with various URLs,
The rules and the diagnostic tests are determined by. For example, UR
If "music" is extracted most as the information corresponding to L, "a person who is interested in music tends to chorus."
According to the rule, the question of "a diagnostic test for those who are presumed to be a chorus" is extracted. Then, a diagnostic test is conducted according to the question. Rule database 3
The probability of each rule held by 4 is similar to the above case,
It is updated according to the diagnosis result and the like that the person to be diagnosed determines to be appropriate.

As in the case shown in FIG. 9, the URL database 14 includes hobbies and cultures (eg, chorus, musical instrument performance, haiku creation, etc.) that are presumed to be intended by each URL and the viewer of the WEB page. And a score indicating the accuracy of the estimation. In this case, the aptitude diagnosis server 10 determines the diagnosis test as in the fourth embodiment.

The rules, questions, and
The fields corresponding to the URL (fields showing the viewer's potential interest) and the like are examples, and are not limited to the above cases.

[0080]

According to the present invention, the UR obtained from the terminal
Since the diagnostic test according to the tendency of the person to be diagnosed is determined by L and the question used in the diagnostic test is presented to the person to be diagnosed, an appropriate diagnosis can be made for each person according to the tendency of the person to be diagnosed. .
