And a test determination means 57 for determining the test.

The translator determining means 51 includes the orderer conditions (for example, free request, delivery date, field, output format, etc.) provided from the orderer terminal 2 and the translator information (for example, specialized information) obtained from the translator information storage means 64. The translator for the order request provided from the orderer terminal 2 is determined based on the field, the translation amount currently accepted, and the translator evaluation data. Orders may be preferentially assigned from those having high translator evaluation data, or the orderer himself / herself may designate the order so that the translator information can be viewed on the orderer terminal 2.

The translator rank determining means 52 calculates the cumulative points such as the results of the test performed when the translator is registered and the translator evaluation data provided from the orderer terminal 2, and the translator rank is calculated based on the calculated points. decide. The rank is, for example, four levels of “A”, “B”, “C”, and “T”. A translator registration applicant who has obtained a score higher than a predetermined value in the test is registered as a translator, and the rank is “T”. A translator of rank “T” is ranked “C” when the average of each evaluation item is “2” in the accumulated points of the translator evaluation data and the like. A translator of rank “C” is ranked “B” when the average of each evaluation item is “3.5” in cumulative points such as translator evaluation data. A translator of rank “B” is ranked “A” when the average of each evaluation item is “4.5” in cumulative points such as translator evaluation data.

The point accumulating means 53 calculates the translator evaluation data provided from the orderer terminal 2 for each evaluation item, and accumulates these evaluation points. The accumulated points are stored in the translator information storage unit 64. In this point accumulation means 53, an upper limit is set so that once the accumulated points reach a predetermined point (for example, 5 points), the accumulated points are not accumulated any more. Note that the translator's evaluation by the orderer is not always accompanied by points, because there are some negatives. The translator rank determining means 52 determines the translator rank in accordance with the accumulated points.

Second storage means 62 for storing the ordering manuscript and paid translation result information provided by the translator, and test data storage means 63 for storing test data to be given for evaluating the translator's translation ability at the time of translator registration A translator information storage means 64 for storing translator information, an orderer information storage means 65 for storing orderer information, an evaluator information storage means 66, and a format storage means 67. The

The translator information storage means 64 includes, for example, a translator ID, translator evaluation data evaluated by the translator provided by the orderer, and self data provided by the translator (eg, name, self PR, Specialized fields, translation languages, etc.), evaluation points obtained by translators, translator ranks, cumulative points of translators, etc. are stored.

The orderer information storage means 65 includes, for example, the orderer ID, translation ordering condition data (for example, name, company name, language, specialized field, translation) that are necessary conditions for ordering the translation provided by the orderer. The history of the translator evaluation data including the amount (for example, the number of words, the number of pages, the delivery date, etc.) and the evaluation contents performed for the translator is stored.

The translator evaluation data is, for example, checked (clicked) on the corresponding part of the evaluation table in the format shown in FIG. Consists of. This input result is calculated by the point accumulating means 53 for each evaluation item, and these evaluation points are accumulated, and the translator evaluation data stored in the translator information storing means 64 and the orderer information storing means 65 are stored. Configure the history. Further, based on the accumulated points, the translator rank determining means 52 determines the translator rank.

The evaluator information storage means 66 stores evaluator information such as evaluator ID, specialized field, specialized language, and translator proper evaluation information that has been implemented by the evaluator in the past. In addition, the evaluator asks the person who has the outstanding ability in the language and the specialized field.

The format storage means 67 stores a translator information registration format, a translator evaluation data input format, an orderer information registration format, an ordering format, an evaluator translator appropriate evaluation format, and the like.

With reference to FIG. 3, the translator appropriate evaluation format for evaluators will be described. The evaluator proper evaluation format for the evaluator is entered by an evaluator who is a third party other than the orderer and the translator. For example, it consists of an evaluator ID assigned to the evaluator, a translation job number that is a target of the translator's proper evaluation, a translator ID that performed the translation, an orderer ID, and evaluation items in the translation contents. When an evaluator translator's appropriate evaluation format is sent to the evaluator terminal 10, the evaluator ID, the translation job number, the translator ID, and the orderer ID have already been sent to the evaluator information input / output means 56. Is filled in.

Evaluation items of the evaluator's translator appropriate evaluation format are the same as the translator evaluation format (FIG. 2) input by the orderer. By making the same, it can be determined whether or not the orderer's evaluation is appropriate. For example, how about the quality of the translation? ? This is based on the ratio of the number of typographical errors / the total number of characters. 5%) ”,“ not very good (0.5% to 1%) ”and“ bad (1% or more) ”.

What is the quality of review as the second evaluation item? ? How was the quality other than the translated content, such as typographical errors? ? This is also a five-step process: “very good”, “good”, “normal”, “not so good” and “bad”.

Did you have enough knowledge about your specialized field as the third evaluation item? ? This is also a five-step process: “very good”, “good”, “normal”, “not so good” and “bad”.

The orderer terminal 2 is composed of, for example, a personal computer, and is composed of communication means (not shown), storage means for storing orderer information and translation results, display means, operation means, and the like.

The translator terminal 3 is composed of, for example, a personal computer, and is composed of communication means (not shown), storage means for storing orderer information and translation results, display means, operation means, and the like.

The evaluator terminal 10 is composed of, for example, a personal computer, and is composed of communication means (not shown), storage means for storing orderer information and translation results, display means, operation means, and the like.

Next, a series of operations for ordering by the orderer will be described with reference to FIG.

The orderer accesses the translation processing apparatus 1 via the communication means (S1). The orderer inputs the orderer information in the received orderer information registration format. If the ID number of the orderer is already given, the ID number is entered in a predetermined field (S2). The ordering format is displayed on the orderer terminal 2, and the orderer inputs ordering conditions (S3).

For example, the ordering format includes a “pay / free” column, “delivery date”, “language”, “specialized field”, and the like, and a column for inputting “document” as text data. When the orderer inputs “free” in the “paid / free” field, the information input means 55 for the orderer counts the number of characters of the input manuscript, and when the number exceeds the predetermined number of characters, Estimate the amount of money by judging “paid”.

The orderer terminal 2 displays the above-mentioned “free OK” or “pay: estimated fee” (S4). The orderer inputs whether or not the order is accepted from the orderer terminal 2 (S5). When an order acceptance from the orderer is input, the translation processing system 1 stores the information in the first storage means 61 together with the predetermined information if it is free, and stores it in the second storage means 62 together with the predetermined information if there is a charge. Is done.

When the translation result information is uploaded from the translator terminal 3 to the translation processing system 1 by the translator, the translation processing system 1 displays that fact on the orderer terminal 2.

When the orderer accesses the translation processing system 1 from the orderer terminal 2, translation result information is displayed on the orderer terminal 2 (S6). In the case of free translation (S7), the translation result information is browsed only on the display screen of the orderer terminal 2, and the displayed translation result information cannot be transferred, printed, or recorded on a storage medium (S8). ). For example, when the translation processing system 1 stores (files) the translation result information provided by the translator in the first storage unit 61, the access restriction item in the attribute of the translation result information (cannot be printed, cannot be distributed, cannot be changed, duplicated It is possible to make only browsing possible by setting (impossible). When the orderer browses the display screen and inputs the end of browsing, the orderer terminal 2 receives and displays the translator evaluation data input format from the format storage means 67 of the translation processing system 1 (S9).

When the orderer inputs the evaluation result into the displayed translator evaluation data input format (S10) and transmits it to the translation processing device 1, the access restriction item of the translation result information is lost, and the orderer receives the translation result information. Can be downloaded as data for desired output (S11). When the ordering condition is charged, the translation information access restriction is not set, so that it can be output by a desired output method.

In FIG. 4, the orderer who ordered the free translation is prompted to enter the translator evaluation data. However, the translator evaluation data is also input to the orderer who ordered the paid translation. Request.

Next, the operation of the translation processing apparatus when receiving a translator's re-evaluation request will be described with reference to FIG.

The translation processing apparatus 1 receives access to re-evaluation request information from the translator terminal 3. In the translation processing apparatus 1, the re-evaluation request information is received by the information input / output means 54 for the translator via the interface means 4 (S21). The information input / output means 54 for the translator transmits attribute information such as the translator's specialized language, specialized field, and translator ID from the translator information storage means 64 to the information input / output means 56 for the evaluator (S22). .

The information input / output means 56 for the evaluator calculates an optimal evaluator from the received attribute information of the translator (S23). Then, the translation order information, translation result information, translator evaluation information of the translator of the orderer, the translator suitability evaluation format, etc. are read from the storage means 6 for the latest ten translation jobs received by the translator. Is sent to the evaluator terminal 10 (S24).

Next, the translator proper evaluation information input by the evaluator in accordance with the translator proper evaluation format for each translation job is received by the information input / output means 56 to the evaluator via the interface means 4 (S25). . The information input / output means 56 for the evaluator transmits the evaluation information obtained by rewriting the evaluation information of the orderer for each translation job number stored in the translator information storage means 64 to the appropriate evaluation of the evaluator to the point accumulating means 53. (S26). The translator rank determining means 52 determines the translator rank based on the translator's accumulated points calculated again by the point accumulating means 53 (S27). The determined translator rank is stored in the translator information storage means 64 and transmitted to the translator information input / output means 54 (S28). The information input / output means 54 for the translator transmits the determined rank to the translator terminal 3 that has transmitted the re-evaluation request information (S29).

The information input / output unit 56 for the evaluator compares and collates the evaluation information of the orderer for each translation job number stored in the translator information storage unit 64 with the appropriate evaluation performed by the evaluator, and exceeds a predetermined value. If there is a difference, the orderer terminal 2 may be notified that the evaluation is not appropriate.

In the present embodiment, the aptitude evaluation information performed by the evaluator has been described as being accumulated again by the point accumulating means 53 and the translator rank determining means 52 determining the translator's rank. You may make it determine a translator's rank with aptitude evaluation information.
For example, the evaluator inputs an evaluation item according to the translator appropriate evaluation format for each translation job. When the average of each evaluation item input by this evaluator is “2”, the rank is “C”, and when the average of each evaluation item is “3.5”, the rank is “B”. The rank “A” may be determined when the average of the evaluation items is “4.5”.

Another aspect of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

From the orderer terminal 2, translator evaluation data by the orderer is received by the information input / output unit 54 to the orderer via the interface unit 4 (S 31).
This translator evaluation data is calculated by the point accumulating means 53 for each evaluation item of the translator, and these evaluation points are accumulated (S32). The accumulated points are stored in the translator information storage unit 64 (S33).

For the accumulated points, the translator's rank is determined by the translator determining means 51 (S34). When the determined rank is increased or decreased from the current rank (S35), the translator's re-evaluation request information is transmitted to the information input / output means 56 for the evaluator (S36). The subsequent operation is the same as the operation based on FIG.

In addition, when the translator performs a number of translation jobs greater than or equal to a predetermined number, a proper evaluation by the evaluator may be requested.

Furthermore, when the translator's rank is the same for a predetermined period or longer, a proper evaluation by the evaluator may be requested.

As described above, in the translation processing system according to the present invention, the translator's intentional translator's evaluation can be corrected to an appropriate evaluation for the translator's rank determination. Fairness is maintained.
