Patent ID: 8407150

Claim:
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium that stores therein a computer program that causes a computer to evaluate reliability of an application process, the program causing a computer to execute: referring to a storage unit which stores a first data that includes an association between a starting point node and a reliability of the starting point node, and a second data, the starting point node being a starting point of a plurality of nodes that include an object used for verification of factual information about an applicant at each step of the application procedure, information of a person in an applied party relating to the object, and an attribute of the object, and the second data including association between an origin node at which information originates, a destination node to which the information is delivered, an action which indicates a process which is executed by the applicant or the person in the applied party in an information flow from the origin node to the destination node, and a path reliability indicating a reliability of the action, acquiring, based on the first and second data, the reliability of the starting Point node and the path reliability corresponding to the action which is in a route where information flows from the origin node to a verification point node that is the destination node whose reliability in the application procedure is to be evaluated; and computing the reliability of the application procedure with respect to the route by multiplying the reliability of the starting point node and the path reliability corresponding to the action which is in the route.
