2. Description of the Prior Art Systems which achieve the same effects as the present invention are not known at present.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Conventionally, employment mediators, marriage referral agencies, credit bureaus, etc., have been introduced from surveyed materials and registrants accumulated according to the request of the client. He was presenting surveyed materials or conducting a new survey. However, these companies usually do not have a close relationship with the user, so that the companies themselves do not always have high trust from users. In addition, the types of objects that can be introduced or investigated by these companies are limited, and in many cases, interviews are required by the companies, and the commission fee tends to be high. In addition, as small businesses that are not widely known appear one after another due to the development of the Internet and other advances, making it easier for consumers and others to access, the credit status of countless such small businesses is investigated. Reporting is difficult for traditional vendors. On the other hand, it is not only difficult and inefficient to find a personal network that leads to the target you want to request a survey or referral using your own personal network because it is difficult to know in advance which personal network will lead to the target, and it is also necessary to search for that target The fact that it is known to many people can negatively affect privacy and business negotiations. For these reasons, we can help you uniquely identify the person you need to contact us for a credit check and referral, such as a business associate, employer, prospective job seeker, or potential collaborator or partner in your business or private life that you do not know directly. There was a need for a system to do that.

[0004]

The present invention adopts the following constitution in order to solve the above points. <Structure 1> A supporter who is considered to be able to cooperate with each user's credit check or referral request transmitted and saved by a plurality of users to the computer database of the support system provider, and a list of those users The information is compared with a computer, and the following relationship is extracted. (1) A user and another user who has registered a supporter registered by the user. (2) A supporter registered as a user by a user and a supporter registered by the user. (3) A supporter and another supporter registered by a user who has registered the supporter. Although there is no direct acquaintance, as with the relationship between the user and the supporter, all of these relationships can be used as a personal connection when conducting a credit check or referral request, so that the user wants to conduct a credit check or introduce a referral. When the object to be received exists in the user or the supporter stored in the computer database of the system provider, the connection part connecting the target and the user and the user supporter relationship or a combination thereof are calculated. I do. The following method can be used for the calculation method. A computer is used to calculate all personal network configurations starting from this user (or target person) consisting of a combination of the above-described connection units and user supporter relationships within the arbitrarily determined maximum limit number. Extracts the configuration connected to the target person (or user). By presenting the calculation result to the user, the user is requested to be introduced or a credit check is assisted.

<Function 1> [0005] By this, the present invention provides a service or article provider, an employer, and
You can use your own computer to display personal connections to those who are considered candidates for employment, private life, business co-workers, partners, etc. The user can investigate the presence or absence of a personal network at a cost, and when using that personal network, a human network component that reaches the target by using a supporter who knows and trusts himself (or a user who registered this user as a supporter) You can ask for a referral or survey.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail. First, in a personal connection discovery support system for a credit check and a referral request according to the present invention, it is expected that a user of the system (hereinafter referred to as a user A) will assist in making a credit check and a referral request. For example, information such as a name that can identify a supporter or a group of supporters who are friends or acquaintances of the user A (hereinafter collectively referred to as a supporter group A) is stored in the computer system of the system provider. The user A transmits the information using a method such as the Internet, and stores the information in a database. The system provider transmits the identification information of the supporter group (supporter group B) of user B, which is also transmitted by another user (referred to as user B) to the computer system and stored in the database. In comparison with that of Group A, a computer checks whether the same supporter exists. If there is such a supporter (supporter C), user A sends to supporter B via supporter C and to supporter group B via supporter C and user B. You can ask for a credit check or referral. Therefore,
If the user A wants to conduct a survey or want to be referred to, as a result of searching the supporter and the user's identification information on the computer database of the support system, and finding out that the target exists in the supporter group B, User A to supporter C
By presenting the user B and the user B, the user A can request the supporter C so that the user B makes an introduction to the object and requests a survey. Furthermore, when a person included in the supporter group A registers as a user of the system, the supporter group (referred to as user D) who has determined that this user can request help for credit check and introduction ( The user A can request introduction or investigation to all the persons included in the supporter group D) through the user D. If there is a user (user F) included in the supporter group (supporter group F), the user A is included in the supporter group F via the user D, the supporter E, and the user F. It is possible to introduce a person and request a survey. Therefore, when the user A needs to be introduced or investigated exists in the supporter group F, the present system presents the user A with the user D, the supporter E, and the user F.
The method is as follows. All the personal connections necessary for the user to follow and request the introduction and investigation to the target are all the elements constituting the above-mentioned relationship, that is, (1) the user and the supporter registered by the user are registered. (2) a user, a supporter registered by the user as a user, and (3) a supporter, and a user registered by the user who registered the supporter. Supporters, and combinations of user supporter relationships and their repetition. Since the possibilities of these combinations are endless, all the combinations starting from the user (or from the target) out of the combinations that set the total number of supporters and users to bridge the personal network within an arbitrary number are calculated. And other means, such as displaying only objects that include the object (or user) among them,
It extracts the personal connections between the user who wants to be introduced or asked for a survey and the target.

[0007]

The personal connection discovery support system adopting the above-described method is a conventional credit check and introduction in which registered personnel and surveyed materials are introduced by a person who is not always closely related to the user. Is different from a company that conducts a contract, the user checks the trust of the supporter and other users who are the connections between the personal connections that connect the user and the target, starting from the first connection that he or she knows, to the target. You can follow. In addition, because the computer presents the path of the personal network that connects the target and the user, unlike the conventional introduction or credit bureau method that requires an interview, privacy is maintained at a low price, and the status of the personal network is viewed. This allows the user to determine whether or not to use the personal connection, and when a plurality of personal connections are calculated, which personal connection to use.

Claims (1)
