Description

  The present invention relates to a server and a program.

In recent years, viewer-participation-type video distribution has become widespread.
For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for providing a quiz event during broadcasting of a television program. In Patent Document 1, a problem is provided to the viewer. When the viewer designates one of a plurality of options, points are given to the viewer who has the correct answer.

JP 2006-340191 A

However, in Patent Document 1, the point calculation does not consider the relationship between the attributes of a television program or quiz event and the attributes of viewers. Therefore, the variation of the given points is relatively small among the viewers who answered the quiz correctly.
Moreover, in patent document 1, the attribute of the viewer who has participated in the quiz event is not reflected in the television program. That is, the relevance between the TV program and the quiz event is low.
For this reason, there are limitations on the preferences of quiz events.

(5) Modification A modification of the present embodiment will be described.

In the present embodiment, the loop RO1 (FIG. 10) may include a result totaling (S303) and a result display (S106). In this case, every time the correct answer display (S105) for the question corresponding to one event ID is completed, the result totaling (S303) and the result display (S106) are executed.
Thereby, whenever the correct answer of one question is displayed, the user can know a grade (namely, progress on the way).

  In the present embodiment, the number of selected users or the ratio of selected users may be displayed for each option in the area A103 (FIG. 13). The ratio of selected users is the ratio of the number of users who have selected each option to the total number of users who have made response requests.

In the present embodiment, the server 30 provides the user with an event based on event information corresponding to the moving image content ID. However, this embodiment is not limited to this. For example, the server 30 may provide an event based on an instruction from a performer of the moving image content to the user.
Specifically, the server 30 receives a request from the client terminal 10 used by the performer of the video content. The request includes a user ID for identifying a performer and an event ID for identifying an event designated by the performer.
Next, the server 30 provides an event to the user based on the event information corresponding to the event ID included in the request.
Thereby, the question according to a performer's judgment can be provided to a user, and the user's answer with respect to the said question can be provided to a performer.

In the present embodiment, the server 30 may refer to the value of the “Rapid pressing rank” field (FIG. 6) as well as the matching table in the calculation of user points (S <b> 3033) in FIG. 11. That is, the server 30 may calculate user points based on a combination of a user tag, a content tag, and a fast press rank. Specifically, the smaller the value of the “Rapid Press Rank” field, the greater the calculated user points.
Thereby, an incentive to answer as soon as possible can be given to the user.

In the present embodiment, the server 30 calculates not only the matching table but also the “user interest value” field (FIG. 3), the “video content interest value” field (FIG. 5), in the calculation of user points (S3033) in FIG. Alternatively, at least one value in the “event interest value” field (FIG. 6) may be referred to. That is, the server 30 may calculate user points based on a combination of a user tag, a content tag, and at least one of the fields.
As an example, if the calculated user point increases as the value of the “Video content interest value” field decreases, an incentive for the user who is less interested in the video content to be interested in the video content through the event. Can be given to the user.
As another example, the greater the value of the “event interest value” field, the more user points that are calculated can give the user an incentive to be interested in the event. .
In this way, user point calculation criteria can be diversified. As a result, the preference of questions to the user increases.

In the present embodiment, when the value of the “comment interest value” field (FIG. 4) reaches a predetermined value, the server 30 determines that the “user interest value” associated with the user ID corresponding to the “comment interest value” field. ”Field (FIG. 3) may be increased. That is, the server 30 may increase the user interest value based on the comment interest value.
Thereby, the user can be given an incentive to post a comment that attracts other users.

The server 30 may determine the display mode of the combination of the area A101b of the program screen P101 (FIG. 12) based on the user information.
As an example, the server 30 continues to display a comment posted by a charging user without deleting it from the area A 101b until a predetermined time has elapsed since posting, regardless of whether or not a non-charging user has posted a comment.
In this way, the display time of the comment posted by a user (for example, a charging user) that satisfies the predetermined condition is relatively extended. As a result, a comment posted by a user who satisfies the predetermined condition is easier to be seen by other users than a user who does not satisfy the predetermined condition (for example, a non-billing user).
In particular, when a user who satisfies a predetermined condition is a billing user, an incentive to pay a usage fee for a service provided by the server 30 can be given to the user.

The server 30 may reduce user points according to user actions other than purchase of products.
For example, in the case of moving image content distributed simultaneously with recording, the “correct answer” field (FIG. 6) is blank, and the program is advanced according to the option selected by the user satisfying a predetermined condition, the server 30 In S105 (FIG. 12), the option selected by the user having the largest user point is displayed on the display.
The performer of the program advances the program according to the option selected by the user having the largest user point.
On the other hand, the user who views the program continues to view the program while viewing the option selected by the user having the largest user point.
Thereby, since the progress of the program becomes unpredictable, the preference of the program is improved. In addition, the user can be given an incentive to acquire user points (for example, to participate in an event).
