The social network providing unit 170 may establish and provide a social network based on the personal information of the individual matched with the user personal information and stored. If you want to form a social network between people working in the user's technical field, you can recommend users working in the same technical field to the user based on the user's technical field.

For example, since the user C is engaged in the'semiconductor manufacturing industry' and holds a number of patents, the user C may be matched and stored together with the'semiconductor manufacturing industry' in the user-user patent matching information storage unit 160. If a user C wants to form a social network with a person in the same industry, the social network provider 170 may recommend other users who are engaged in the'semiconductor manufacturing industry' and hold a patent. You can build a social network as a basis. In addition, if user C's major in university is'chemistry', he is currently engaged in the'semiconductor manufacturing industry', but is there any other job in the'chemistry' field for the turnover and is currently engaged in the'chemistry' field. There are times when you need advice from the user who is doing it. Accordingly, the social network provider 170 may recommend or provide another user related to'chemistry' to user C. A patent can be judged by objective data that he is actually engaged in the field, and a user who holds a patent can be judged as a practitioner in an industry that is actually engaged in the technical field and has achievements. Therefore, it can be said that the reliability of data is very high when a user wants to form a social network in the relevant technology field based on whether or not he has a patent, or when a user wants to form a social network in order to enter the field.
