<Synchronization process>
The synchronization process is a process for synchronizing the user's qualification information stored in the server 10 with the latest qualification information of the organization that issues qualifications, etc.

<Overview of synchronization process>
In the synchronization process, after starting the synchronization process, user identification information is acquired, a request is sent to multiple organization servers 30 using the user identification information to acquire and inquire about qualification information, and the acquired qualification information group is used as a response. This is a series of processes for updating the qualification table 1013 and qualification master 1014.
The synchronization unit 1042 of the server 10 maintains the latest qualification information stored in the qualification table 1013 and the qualification master 1014 by inquiring about the qualification information to the organization server 30 at a predetermined frequency or cycle.

<Details of synchronization process>
In step S101, the synchronization unit 1042 of the server 10 starts synchronization processing periodically. Note that the synchronization process may be started at any arbitrary period of time, such as every day or every hour.

In step S102, the synchronization unit 1042 of the server 10 acquires the user ID from the qualification table 1013. A plurality of user IDs may be acquired at once.

In step S103, the synchronization unit 1042 of the server 10 transmits a request for qualification information to all endpoints of the plurality of organization servers 30 stored in the qualification master 1014 using the acquired user ID. Requests may be sent to multiple organization servers 30 simultaneously or sequentially.

If a qualification code is stored in the qualification table 1013 in association with a user ID, the synchronization unit 1042 of the server 10 sends a request for qualification information only to the endpoint of the organization server 30 regarding the qualification code. It's okay. In this case, it is preferable to send requests in shorter cycles or more frequently than in the case of sending requests to all endpoints. As a result, the qualification information already stored in the qualification table 1013 can be kept up-to-date at shorter intervals or more frequently.
The synchronization process for the endpoints of all organization servers 30 and the synchronization process for the organization servers 30 regarding already stored qualification codes may be started at different cycles or frequencies.
Specifically, the synchronization unit 1042 of the server 10 acquires the qualification code of the qualification table 1013. The synchronization unit 1042 of the server 10 searches the qualification master 1014 using the acquired qualification code and acquires the endpoint. The synchronization unit 1042 of the server 10 transmits a request for credential information to the acquired endpoint.

The frequency or cycle of starting the synchronization process may be determined depending on the priority of the organization regarding the organization server 30. For example, it is preferable that an organization with a higher priority starts synchronization processing more frequently or at a shorter period. Specifically, the synchronization unit 1042 of the server 10 starts synchronization processing for the organization server 30 at different cycles or frequencies, depending on the priority information stored in the organization information of the qualification master 1014. The synchronization unit 1042 of the server 10 starts the synchronization process for the organization server 30 with a high priority at a higher frequency or in a shorter cycle than the synchronization process for the organization server 30 with a lower priority.

The priority order of the organization server 30 may be set to a predetermined value determined in advance by the service provider. For example, the priority of the organization server 30 of an organization that issues predetermined certifications or the like by a service provider or the like may be set higher than the priority of the organization server 30 that does not.
The priority order of the organization server 30 may be set according to the qualification attributes of qualifications issued by the organization. For example, the priority of the organization server 30 of an organization that issues national qualifications may be set higher than the priority of the organization server 30 of an organization that issues private qualifications.
The priority order of the organization server 30 may be set according to the attributes of the organization (organizational attributes). For example, the priority of the organization server 30 when the organization is a state or a public organization similar to the state may be set higher than the priority of the organization server 30 of a private organization. The organization attributes may include qualification attributes of qualifications issued by the organization.
The priority order of the organization server 30 may be set according to the number of users associated with the organization server 30 of the organization.
The number of users associated with the organization server 30 of an organization may refer to the organization information in the qualification table 1013 and the qualification master 1014, and may be the number of users linked to the same organization.
The number of users associated with the organization server 30 of an organization is determined by referring to qualification codes, first qualification information, qualification attributes, etc. in the qualification table 1013 and qualification master 1014. It may also be the number of users linked to information, the same qualification attribute, etc. At this time, the number of users whose first qualification information and qualification attributes are common may be set as not all but some of the first qualification information and qualification attributes.

In addition, the synchronization unit 1042 of the server 10 may start synchronization processing in response to a request from the organization server 30. For example, the organization server 30 may send a request to start synchronization processing to the synchronization unit 1042 of the server 10 in response to a change in the second qualification information stored in the organization table 3012. At this time, the synchronization unit 1042 of the server 10 does not need to send a request requesting credential information to the endpoints of all organization servers 30; It is also possible to start synchronization processing only when the

In step S104, the organization server 30 searches the organization table 3012 for the organization user ID based on the user ID included in the received request, and obtains the second qualification information, start date and time, end date and time, and update date and time. The organization server 30 transmits a response including the second qualification information, start date and time, end date and time, and update date and time to the server 10. At this time, the acquired second qualification information is a second qualification information group including one or more pieces of second qualification information linked to one user.
The organization server 30 compares the current date and time with the start date and time and the end date and time, and sends a response including a second credential information group consisting only of the second credential information included in the start date and time and the end date and time to the server 10. It may also be used as a configuration. At this time, it is not necessary to include the start date and time and the end date and time in the response.

The synchronization unit 1042 of the server 10 compares the current date and time with the start date and time and the end date and time from the second qualification information included in the received response, and sets the second qualification information that is not included in the start date and time and the end date and time to the second qualification information. Exclude from the set of credentials. That is, the synchronization unit 1042 of the server 10 specifies only the second qualification information that is valid at the time of execution of the synchronization process as the second qualification information group.
When the organization server 30 transmits to the server 10 a response that includes a second credential group consisting only of the second credential information included in the start date and time and the end date and time, the synchronization unit 1042 of the server 10 Also, the process of removing second qualification information that is not included in the end date and time from the second qualification information group can be omitted.
Note that the process of removing second qualification information that is not included in the start date and time and the end date and time from the second qualification information group is not an essential process, and may not be performed.

In step S105, the synchronization unit 1042 of the server 10 updates the qualification table 1013 based on the identified second qualification information group. Specifically, the synchronization unit 1042 of the server 10 invalidates valid items of qualification codes that are not included in the second qualification information group among the qualification codes linked to the user. The synchronization unit 1042 of the server 10 may delete qualification codes that are not included in the second qualification information group from among the qualification codes linked to the user. Note that the qualification code of the second qualification information does not need to have the same code system as the qualification codes in the qualification table 1013 and the qualification master 1014, and may be configured to be mutually convertible based on a table (not shown). If the code system is different for each organization, a different table (not shown) may be provided for each organization.
If the second qualification information group includes a qualification code that is not associated with a user, the synchronization unit 1042 of the server 10 associates the qualification code with the user ID and newly adds it to the qualification table 1013. Remember.
Furthermore, the synchronization unit 1042 of the server 10 updates the update date and time regarding the user ID in the qualification table 1013 to the current date and time.

If the identified second qualification information group includes second qualification information that is not stored in the first qualification information of the qualification master 1014, the synchronization unit 1042 of the server 10 stores the first qualification information of the qualification master 1014. It may be newly memorized as . At this time, if the second qualification information includes information such as organization information, first qualification information, and qualification attributes, the synchronization unit 1042 of the server 10 uses the organization information, first qualification information, and qualification attributes based on the information. Store information such as information, qualification attributes, etc.

<Modified example>
The synchronization unit 1042 of the server 10 acquires all the second qualification information stored in the organization table 3012 of the organization server 30, and converts the first qualification information for each user stored in the user table 1012 into the first qualification information for each user. It is also possible to have a configuration in which the information is updated using two credentials. With such a configuration, the first qualification information of a large number of users can be updated without imposing a processing load on the organization server 30.

<Display processing>
The display process is a process for displaying the user's qualification information stored in the server 10 to a third party. The third party may be an employee of a company, a public institution, a certification period, a test period, etc. The third party may include the user himself/herself.

<Overview of display processing>
Display processing is a series of processes that accepts inquiries about user credentials from a third party, acquires the user's credentials, and outputs and displays them to the third party.

<Display processing details>
In step S301, the third party operates his own information processing device, inputs the user ID for which he wants to acquire qualification information, and sends a request regarding display processing to the server 10. The display unit 1043 of the server 10 accepts the user ID included in the received request.

In step S302, the display unit 1043 of the server 10 searches the qualification table 1013 based on the user ID included in the received request, and displays qualification information including information such as the user ID, qualification code, validity, availability, update date and time, etc. get. At this time, the acquired qualification information is a qualification information group including one or more pieces of qualification information linked to one user.

In step S303, the display unit 1043 of the server 10 transmits a response including the acquired qualification information group to the third party's information processing device. At this time, the display unit 1043 of the server 10 may be configured to exclude the credential information indicating whether disclosure is possible or not from the credential information group and transmit the response to the third party's information processing device.
The third party's information processing device outputs the qualification information group included in the received response to the display. At this time, the third party's information processing device may exclude the qualification information indicating whether disclosure is possible or not from the qualification information group and output it to the display.
This allows a third party to confirm the displayed credentials.

In step S303, the display unit 1043 of the server 10 notifies the user associated with the credential information group whether or not it can be published, prior to transmitting the response including the acquired credential information group to the third party's information processing device, The configuration may be such that the process of transmitting the information is executed when the user approves the publication.
Specifically, the display unit 1043 of the server 10 searches the user table 1012 based on the user ID associated with the acquired qualification information group, and searches the user table 1012 based on identification information such as the user's phone number and email address (not shown).

<Proposed processing (first example)>
The proposal process (first embodiment) is a process for suggesting qualifications suitable for the user based on the user's own qualification information, user attributes, and the like.

<Summary of proposed processing (first example)>
The proposal process (first embodiment) accepts an inquiry about a user for the proposal process (first embodiment), acquires a credential group that is one or more credential information held by the user, and combines the credential group with the credential group. Identify a second credential information group that is one or more credentials held by one or more other users (user group) who hold the same or similar credential information group, and output and propose it to the user. It is a series of processes.

<Details of proposed processing (first example)>
In step S501, the user operates the user terminal 20 and transmits a request regarding proposal processing including his/her user ID 2011 to the server 10. The proposal unit 1044 of the server 10 accepts the user ID included in the received request.
Note that a configuration may also be adopted in which the user operates the user terminal 20 and transmits a request regarding proposal processing that includes the user ID of an arbitrary user.

In step S502, the proposal unit 1044 of the server 10 searches the user table 1012 based on the user ID included in the received request and acquires user attributes. The proposal unit 1044 of the server 10 searches the qualification table 1013 based on the user ID included in the received request, and acquires qualification information such as the user ID, qualification code, and validity. At this time, the acquired qualification information is a qualification information group including one or more pieces of qualification information linked to one user.

In step S503, the proposal unit 1044 of the server 10 searches the qualification table 1013 for a user who has a set of qualification information that is the same as or similar to the acquired set of qualification information. Specifically, the user who owns all or some of the qualification codes included in the acquired qualification information group is searched for by referring to the qualification codes in the qualification table 1013. A group consisting of one or more users obtained through a search is called a user group.
At this time, in the qualification table 1013, only the qualification information valid at the time of execution may be used as the search condition. Note that the search conditions may include invalid credentials.

In step S504, the proposal unit 1044 of the server 10 searches the qualification table 1013 based on the user ID of the user included in the user group, and specifies the qualification code of the qualification held by the user included in the user group. The proposal unit 1044 of the server 10 counts the number of duplicate qualification codes for each qualification code or the number of users having the qualification code among the identified qualification codes, and calculates the count as a score.
At this time, the proposal unit 1044 of the server 10 may calculate the score by weighting the number of qualification codes counted based on organization information, qualification attributes, and the like. For example, the weighting for counting the number of national qualifications may be greater than that of private qualifications.
The suggestion unit 1044 of the server 10 sorts the qualification codes in the order of their scores, and extracts one or more qualification codes having a score of a predetermined number or a predetermined value or more from the top as a group of qualification information to be proposed.
When extracting a qualification information group, the proposal unit 1044 of the server 10 may preferentially extract certified qualifications predetermined by a service provider or the like as a qualification information group.
The proposal unit 1044 of the server 10 may refer to the first qualification information in the qualification master 1014 and include information related to the qualification, such as the name of the qualification, in the extracted qualification information group.
The proposal unit 1044 of the server 10 may extract a group of qualification information by excluding qualification codes included in all or part of the qualifications held by the user. This is because there is little need to propose to the user the credential information that the user already owns.

In step S505, the proposal unit 1044 of the server 10 transmits a response including the extracted qualification information group to the user terminal 20. The display 2062 of the user terminal 20 displays the qualification information group included in the received response and proposes it to the user.
In other words, the user terminal 20 can receive a proposal from the server 10 about what kind of qualifications other users who have similar qualifications to the user terminal 20 have. The user can use the content of the proposal as reference information for qualifications to be acquired in the future.

FIG. 14 shows a group of credential information displayed on the user terminal 20 and proposed to the user. The user can execute the proposal process (first embodiment) by pressing the proposal icon 252 displayed on the touch panel 206 of the user terminal 20. The touch panel 206 of the user terminal 20 displays a list of qualification information included in the qualification information group as a list 260. The list 260 includes information regarding qualification names, qualification classifications, and scores. By pressing the information icon 263 displayed in the list 260, the user can view detailed information included in the qualification information, such as the qualification code, organizational information of the organization issuing the qualification, and qualification attributes, on the user terminal 20. It can be displayed on the touch panel 206 for confirmation.

<Modified example>
In step S503, the proposal unit 1044 of the server 10 may identify a user group consisting of users having predetermined user attributes. The predetermined user attributes may be received from the user terminal 20 in step S501.
Further, it is preferable that the predetermined user attributes accepted are one or more predetermined job types. Thereby, it is possible to specify a user group consisting of users of a predetermined occupation. By applying steps S504 and S505 to the user group, the user terminal 20 receives a proposal from the server 10 about what kind of qualifications are held by users of a predetermined occupation with similar qualifications. be able to. When the user aims for a predetermined job type, the content of the proposal can be used as reference information for qualifications to be acquired in the future, such as what kind of additional qualifications are suitable for the user to acquire.

<Proposed processing (second example)>
The proposal process (second embodiment) is a process for the user to propose a job category suitable for the user based on the user's own qualification information, user attributes, and the like.

<Summary of proposed processing (second embodiment)>
The proposal process (second embodiment) accepts an inquiry about the user for the proposal process (second embodiment), acquires a group of credential information that is one or more credential information held by the user, and combines the group of credential information with the group of credential information. A series of processes that identifies a job type information group that is information about one or more job types of one or more other users (user group) who have the same or similar qualification information group, and outputs and proposes it to the user. be.

<Details of proposal processing (second embodiment)>
The processing from step S521 to step S523 is the same as the processing from step S501 to step S503, so a description thereof will be omitted.

In step S524, the proposal unit 1044 of the server 10 searches the user table 1012 based on the user ID of the user included in the user group, and identifies the occupation of the user included in the user group based on the acquired user attribute. The proposal unit 1044 of the server 10 counts the number of overlapping occupations for each occupation or the number of users of the occupation among the identified occupations, and calculates the count as a score.
At this time, the proposal unit 1044 of the server 10 may calculate the score by weighting the number of qualification codes counted based on other user attributes. The weighting for counting the number of occupations of users whose user attributes are similar may be greater than that of users whose user attributes are distant.
The suggestion unit 1044 of the server 10 sorts the occupations in the order of their scores, and extracts one or more occupations from the top that have scores of a predetermined number or a predetermined value or more as a group of occupations to be proposed.
The suggestion unit 1044 of the server 10 may extract a group of occupations by excluding occupations included in the user's current occupation or past employment history. This is because there is little need to suggest to the user the types of jobs in which the user currently or has worked in the past.

In step S525, the proposal unit 1044 of the server 10 transmits a response including the extracted job category group to the user terminal 20. The display 2062 of the user terminal 20 displays the job categories included in the received response and proposes them to the user.
In other words, the user terminal 20 can receive a proposal from the server 10 about what types of jobs other users who have similar qualifications to the user terminal 20 are engaged in. The user can use the content of the proposal as reference information for future job hunting, etc.

FIG. 15 shows a group of credential information displayed on the user terminal 20 and proposed to the user. The user can execute the proposal process (second embodiment) by pressing the proposal icon 252 displayed on the touch panel 206 of the user terminal 20. The touch panel 206 of the user terminal 20 displays a list of occupations included in the occupation group as a list 280. The list 280 includes information regarding job names, job classifications, and scores. By pressing the information icon 283 displayed in the list 280, the user can check detailed information regarding the job type by displaying it on the touch panel 206 of the user terminal 20.

In addition, in the proposal processing (second embodiment), instead of job type, affiliated organization, school, or any combination thereof can be applied as the user attribute. In this case, a user attribute group (user attribute information group) including one or more user attributes is proposed instead of a job category group.
As a result, the user can receive suggestions from the server 10 about what kind of companies, public institutions, and other organizations other users with similar qualifications belong to, and what kind of schools they attend. The user can use the proposed content as reference information for future job hunting, entrance exams, etc.
