20 Claims

1. A system comprising:

an evaluation assisting system; and

a first system connected to the evaluation assisting system via a network,

wherein the first system includes:

first circuitry; and

a first memory storing executable instructions which, when executed by the first circuitry, cause the first circuitry to:

execute a sensing process to detect predetermined communication that takes place between a plurality of users in the first system; and

in response to detecting the predetermined communication by the sensing process, send communication information according to the detected predetermined communication to the evaluation assisting system, and

wherein the evaluation assisting system includes:

second circuitry; and

a second memory storing executable instructions which, when executed by the

second circuitry, cause the second circuitry to:

connect the first system and multiple second systems via the network, the second systems managing evaluations of objects of evaluation;

receive the communication information from the first system via the network;

in response to receiving the communication information from the first system, acquire first information for specifying an object of evaluation;

based on the first information, specify a type of the object of evaluation;

generate a request for registration of an evaluation of the object of evaluation, the evaluation being based on the predetermined communication related with the received communication information;

determine which information among multiple pieces of information associated with the evaluation needs to be included in the request for registration based on the specified type of the object of evaluation;

select one of the multiple second systems which corresponds to the type of the object of evaluation specified based on the first information;

send the generated request for registration to the selected second system via the network; and

cause the selected second system to register the evaluation.
