Description

  The present disclosure relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program, and in particular, an information processing device and an information processing device that can extract meaningful information for a viewer among those transmitted over a network represented by the Internet. The present invention relates to a method and a program.

  Conventionally, there are web pages, blogs, etc. as information transmission methods via the Internet, and recently, SNS (Social network service) that can limit the information disclosure target to only those who have been approved by the information sender has gained popularity. Yes.

  Also, a service called Twitter (Twitter) that can send information in real time to the information senders who have seen, thought, felt, and the current situation in a short sentence is attracting attention (non-patented) Reference 1).

  In Twitter, what a registered user (hereinafter referred to as a user) wants to ask can be disclosed via the Internet in a short sentence called a tweet. In addition, in Twitter, when another user b who sees a tweet sent by a user a supports or agrees to the tweet, the user b can re-send (retweet) the tweet. .

  In addition, in Twitter, follow-up registration (becomes followers of other users) by registering other users (for example, acquaintances, friends, entertainers, politicians, etc.) that the user supports It is possible to extract and browse tweets sent by other users.

Twitter Perfect Guide, In Forest, 2009/11/7

  As described above, in Twitter, it is possible to limit the tweets that the user browses by registering other users as follow. However, even if the tweet to be browsed is restricted by follow registration, the contents of all the tweets after the restriction are not always meaningful (useful, valuable, or interested) for the user. For example, it can be said that it is meaningful to see a tweet about a playground sent by another user when planning a play, but it is also meaningful to see a tweet about play sent by another user while working. It is hard to say.

  Therefore, in a service that allows users to send short sentences like Twitter, a mechanism that can extract only meaningful tweets according to the user's situation in addition to follow registration is required.

  In Twitter, it is possible to search for tweets using search terms, or to narrow down tweets using hashtags attached to the tweets. It is not suitable for extracting meaningful tweets.

  Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present disclosure (hereinafter referred to as an embodiment) will be described.

[Configuration example of contextual social media service system]
FIG. 1 illustrates a configuration example of a contextual social media service system (hereinafter abbreviated as a CSM service system) according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

  The CSM service system 10 includes terminal devices 20-1 to 20-N and a service server 30 to which the terminal devices 20-1 to 20-N are connected via a network 11 represented by the Internet.

  The terminal devices 20-1 to 20 -N are operated by a user who uses the CSM service system 10, and any electronic device can be used as long as the electronic device can access the service server 30 via the network 11. Can be used. Specifically, for example, a personal computer, a smartphone, a mobile phone, a game machine, a television receiver, a video recorder, or the like can be used as the terminal device 20. Hereinafter, when it is not necessary to individually distinguish the terminal devices 20-1 to 20-N, they are simply referred to as the terminal device 20.

  The service server 30 provides a CSM service to each terminal device 20 accessed via the network 11.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the outline of the CSM service.

  All users registered for use with the CSM service each access the service server 30 using the terminal device 20, and as a sender, a viewer, or a communicator described below depending on the situation. Can be performed.

  The caller can immediately send (disclose via the network 11) what he / she has seen or felt as a short sentence (hereinafter referred to as a message). Further, the caller can give a context to the message. Of course, it is not necessary to give a context.

  The context added to a message is used for narrowing down when the message is viewed by the viewer, and the sender assumes what kind of situation the message is meaningful to the viewer. Is given. A context consists of a situation name and a situation value. A specific example of the context will be described later.

  If the viewer agrees with the viewed message, sympathizes with it, or wants to spread it to other users as useful information, it becomes a communicator and resends the message (hereinafter referred to as transmission). be able to. The communicator can add a new context to the message to be transmitted.

  That is, the sender and the communicator can give a context to the message.

  Also, the viewer can register in advance the sender of the message to be browsed (follow-up registration of other users), thereby narrowing down the messages to be browsed. In addition, the viewer can further narrow down the messages to be browsed by setting his / her situation as a context. Here, the context selected by the viewer is notified to the corresponding sender or communicator as feedback information.

  From this feedback information, a sender or a communicator who gives a context to a message can know what kind of context is given to the message on the viewer side.

  In other words, it is possible to grasp what kind of context is assigned to a message that is meaningful to the viewer, whether the message is popular (whether it is viewed more), or the like. Therefore, the feedback information can be a motivation when a user as a sender or a communicator gives a context to a message, so that an increase in the frequency of transmission, transmission, and context provision by the user can be expected.

  For example, FIG. 2 shows a case where the user b browses the message a (context a addition) transmitted by the user a and the user c browses the message a (context a, context b addition) transmitted by the user b. ing. In this case, the user a is a caller, the user b is a transmitter from the viewer, and the user c is a viewer. Of course, user c can become a communicator after this.

[Configuration Example of Service Server 30]
FIG. 3 shows an example of the functional block configuration of the service server 30. The service server 30 includes a communication unit 31, a message registration unit 32, a message database (DB) 33, a user information management unit 34, and a message extraction unit 35.

  The communication unit 31 communicates various data (user information, messages, etc.) with the terminal device 20 accessed via the network 11. Further, the communication unit 31 reads feedback information for the user of the terminal device 20 that has accessed and logged in from the user information management unit 34 and transmits the feedback information to the terminal device 20.

  The message registration unit 32 acquires a message transmitted from the terminal device 20 of the user serving as the caller via the network 11 from the communication unit 31, and registers the caller in association with the acquired message in the message database 33. At this time, if a context is given to the message, the acquired message is also associated with the context and registered in the message database 33.

  In addition, the message registration unit 32 acquires the context attached to the transmitted message transmitted from the terminal device 20 of the user serving as the communicator via the network 11 from the communication unit 31 and has already registered in the message database 33. The acquired context and the communicator are registered in further association with the completed message.

  Therefore, a sender, a communicator, and a context are registered in the message database 33 in association with each message.

  The user information management unit 34 manages various information (hereinafter referred to as user information) regarding each user registered for use in the CSM service. The user information managed by the user information management unit 34 includes, for example, a user name and password used at the time of login, image data of an icon corresponding to the user, a user that he / she is following (other registered follow-ups) Users), users who follow you (other users who follow you, your followers), feedback information for users (contexts that were set when other users viewed messages sent or communicated by users) ) Etc. are included.

  The user information is also managed in each terminal device 20, and in addition to the above, the user information includes a program that cooperates with input and a program that cooperates with message contents (see FIG. 13). Will be described later).

  The message extraction unit 35 extracts a message registered in the message database 33 and outputs the message to the communication unit 31 in response to a message browsing request transmitted via the network 11 from the user terminal device 20 serving as a viewer. Specifically, based on the user that he / she is following included in the user information of the user who is a viewer managed by the user information management unit 34, the user he / she is following is a caller or communication Filter messages that are people.

[Display example of screen of terminal device 20]
Next, screen display of the terminal device 20 using the CSM service will be described.

  When the terminal device 20 accesses the service server 30 via the network 11 in response to a predetermined operation from a user who intends to start using the CSM service, a logon screen that prompts the user for a user name and password is displayed on the display. (Not shown) is displayed. When the user inputs a user name and password to this logon screen, a message browsing request is notified to the service server 30 via the network 11 together with them. In the service server 30, when the user information management unit 34 authenticates the user of the accessed terminal device 20 based on the notified user name and password, and is recognized as a registered user, the terminal device 20 The CSM service screen appears on the display.

  FIG. 7 is a display example of a browsing screen 50 displayed on the display of the terminal device 20 when a user browses a message transmitted by another user as a viewer.

  In the upper part of the browsing screen 50, a “read” tab 51, a “write” tab 52, a “user information” tab 53, a user name display section 54, and a “log off” button 55 are provided. Further, a context setting unit 56 is provided directly below them. Below the context setting unit 56 is a message display unit 57.

  When the “Read” tab 51 is selected, the screen display is changed to the browsing screen 50. FIG. 7 shows a state where the “read” tab 51 has already been selected.

  When the “write” tab 52 is selected, the screen display is changed to the message input screen 90 for the caller (FIG. 12). When the “user information” tab 53 is selected, the screen display is changed to the user information display screen 100 (FIG. 13).

  The user name display unit 54 displays a user name in the CSM service of the user who operates the terminal device 20. The “log off” button 55 is operated to operate to log off (use of the CSM service is terminated as a user).

  The context setting unit 56 includes a situation name setting unit 56a and a situation value setting unit 56b, and these can be used to set a context indicating the situation of the user (in this case, a viewer). By setting a context representing the user's situation by the context setting unit 56, messages to be displayed on the message display unit 57 can be narrowed down.

  In the message display section 57, messages sent by other users who are following are displayed, and each message display section 57 is scrolled in chronological order from the newest one. Each message display section 57 is provided with a “transmission” button 58. When the “transmit” button 58 is operated, a pop-up screen 81 (FIG. 11) for transmitting the message is displayed.

  On the left side of the message display portion 57, an icon 59 representing the user who sent or transmitted the message is displayed. For example, since one icon 59 is displayed on the message display section 57-1, the message is viewed by the sender. Further, for example, since three icons 59 are displayed in the message display section 57-2, the message is transmitted by the caller, and the message is viewed through two communicators.

  FIG. 5 shows a state in which the situation name corresponding to the user situation is set in the situation name setting unit 56 a of the context setting unit 56. In the situation name setting unit 56a, the user can set an arbitrary character string as the situation name. Since the option is displayed in the situation name setting unit 56a, the user can set the situation name by selecting this option. The displayed options are based on the context given to the message acquired from the service server 30 and the feedback information from the user follower (the context set by the follower during browsing). The option includes not specified (does not set a situation name), and by selecting this, the situation name can be not selected.

  FIG. 6 shows a state in which a situation value corresponding to the situation name set in the situation name setting unit 56a is set for the situation value setting unit 56b of the context setting unit 56. In the situation value setting unit 56b, the user can set an arbitrary character string as the situation value. Since the option is displayed on the status value setting unit 56b, the user can set the status value by selecting this option. Note that the number indicated in parentheses with the option indicates the number of corresponding messages. The displayed options are based on the context given to the message acquired from the service server 30 and the feedback information from the user follower (the context set by the follower during browsing). By selecting an option based on feedback information from the follower, the interest of the downstream (browser) of the message is transmitted to the upstream side (sender or communicator) in the reverse direction, and upstream transmission or transmission is performed. An encouraging effect can be expected.

  When the context setting using the context setting unit 56 is performed, as shown in FIG. 7, a “delete” button 56c for deleting the set context appears on the right side of the situation value setting unit 56b. Immediately below the context setting unit 56 (context setting unit 56-1 in FIG. 7), a context setting unit 56-2 for additionally setting a context indicating the user's situation appears.

  When the context setting using the context setting unit 56 is performed, the browsing screen 50 is vertically divided into two by the dividing line 61 as shown in FIG. In the divided upper part, messages narrowed down by the context set in the context setting part 56 (context setting part 56-1 in FIG. 7) are scroll-displayed in chronological order, and in the lower part, the messages before being narrowed down are displayed. Scrolled display in chronological order.

  Further, a marking such as coloring (a mesh pattern in the figure) is displayed on the left end of the context setting unit 56-1, and the same marking is also performed on the icon 59 corresponding to the user who has given the corresponding context. . Thereby, the browser can grasp | ascertain by which user the context provided to the message was provided.

  By the way, the setting of the status value for the status value setting unit 56b of the context setting unit 56 can be input by quoting a character string in the message. FIG. 8 shows an example.

  As shown in the figure, the character string “Yamanaka Ski Area” in the message is selected, the submenu 71 is displayed by a predetermined operation, and “Set to Situation Value” is selected, so that the selected character string is displayed. Can be set to status value. When the status value is set first in this way, the status name options corresponding to the set status value are displayed. FIG. 9 shows an example. In this case, in the situation name setting unit 56a, a situation name having “Yamanaka Ski Area” as a situation value is displayed as an option.

  When the context setting is also performed on the context setting unit 56-2, as shown in FIG. 10, the browsing screen 50 is vertically divided into three by dividing lines 61-1 and 61-2. In the divided upper part, the contexts set in both the context setting parts 56-1 and 56-2, that is, the messages narrowed down by the AND condition are scroll-displayed in time series, and in the middle part, the context setting part 56 is displayed. The context set to one of -1 or 56-2, that is, messages narrowed down by the OR condition are scrolled and displayed in chronological order, and messages before being narrowed down are scrolled and displayed in the lower part.

  Also in the figure, markings such as coloring are displayed on the left ends of the context setting sections 56-1 and 56-2, and the same marking is performed on the icon 59 corresponding to the user who has given the corresponding context. Thereby, the viewer can grasp which context each message corresponds to, which user has given the context assigned to the message, and the like.

  FIG. 11 shows a pop-up screen for adding a context to a message to be transmitted, which is displayed by being superimposed on the browsing screen 50 that has been displayed so far, by operating the “transmission” button 58 of the message display unit 57. 81 display examples are shown.

  In the pop-up screen 81, in addition to the message to be transmitted, the context already assigned to the message is displayed. In the pop-up screen 81, the user who becomes the transmitter can delete or change the context that has already been given, or can add a new context. Note that, as context choices to be set here, situation names and situation values frequently set by the user are displayed. Similarly to the message input screen 90 (FIG. 12) described later, feedback information from the follower may be selected on the screen and set as a context.

  In addition, FIG. A shows a state where the context currently assigned to the message is displayed, and FIG. B shows a state where the context has been changed.

  FIG. 12 shows a display example of a message input screen that is displayed when the user inputs a message as a caller and selects the “write” tab 52 at the top of the screen.

  This message input screen 90 is provided with an input unit 91, and feedback information 95 is displayed below it.

  The input unit 91 is provided with a context display unit 92, context setting units 93-1, 93-2, and a message input unit 94 for inputting a message.

  The context display unit 92 displays a context set to narrow down messages that the user browses as a viewer. When the user selects the check box at the left end of the context display section 92, the context set there is validated. Note that the context set in the context display unit 92 can be changed by the user. The context setting units 93-1 and 93-2 are used when a context is given to a message sent by a user as a caller. When the user selects the check box at the left end of the context setting sections 93-1 and 93-2, the context set therein is validated.

  In the context name setting unit 93a and the status value setting unit 93b of the context setting units 93-1, 93-2, the user can set an arbitrary character string, and the context set by the user so far. Situation names and situation values based on feedback information from the follower are displayed as options, and can be selected and set. In addition, by selecting feedback information 95 displayed below or a context with a high user setting frequency on the screen, the context names and status values of the context display unit 92 and the context setting units 93-1 and 93-2 are displayed. Can be set.

  FIG. 13 shows a display example of a user information display screen displayed when the user confirms his / her user information by selecting the “user information” tab 53 at the top of the screen.

  On this user information display screen 100, the user who follows him (to limit the sender of the message to be browsed) and the user who follows him (owner's follower) are displayed. On the user information display screen 100, other users who are registered for follow-up can be added or deleted.

  In the user information display screen 100, a program for input cooperation can be set.

  For example, when “search input” is set, when a character string is input as a search word to the search engine in the terminal device 20, the context previously associated with the character string is displayed by the user as a viewer. As a context that is set to narrow down the messages to be viewed.

  For example, when “GPS information” is set, when location information of the current location is acquired by a GPS (global positioning system) reception function provided in the terminal device 20, a location name associated with the location information in advance is It is set as a context that is set to narrow down messages that the user browses as a viewer.

  For example, when “schedule information” is set, a schedule of users managed by the terminal device 20 or a predetermined server is referred to, and after a predetermined time described therein (for example, the next day) The context previously associated with the schedule is set as the context set for narrowing down messages that the user browses as a viewer.

  For example, when “viewing information” is set, the terminal device 20 acquires program information that the user is viewing from a television receiver or the like, and the context associated with the program information in advance is displayed by the user. It is set as a context that is set to narrow down messages to be viewed as a viewer.

  In addition, in the user information display screen 100, an arbitrary number of programs linked with message contents can be set.

  For example, when “music player” is set, a “music player cooperation” button 101 is additionally displayed on the browsing screen 50 as shown in FIG. When the “music player cooperation” button 101 is selected, a URL linked to audio data or the like described in the message is notified to the music player. As a result, the music player can acquire and reproduce audio data from the URL.

[Description of operation]
Next, the operation of the CSM service system 10 will be described.

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart for explaining processing at the time of message transmission in the CSM service.

  As a premise, the terminal device 20 has already logged in to the service server 30, and any of the above-described browsing screen 50, message input screen 90, or user information display screen 100 is displayed on the display of the terminal device 20. It shall be.

  In step S <b> 1, when the user as the sender selects the “write” tab 52 at the top of the screen, the screen display is changed to the message input screen 90. If the message input screen 90 is already displayed, the process of step S1 can be omitted.

  In step S <b> 2, the user inputs a message to be transmitted to the message input unit 94 of the message input screen 90. In step S <b> 3, the user uses the context setting unit 93 on the message input screen 90 to set a context to be given to the outgoing message. At this time, the user can set the context by referring to the feedback information 95 from his follower.

  The message with the context is transmitted to the service server 30 via the network 11 and registered in the message database 33. And it transmits in real time to the terminal device 20 of the other user who is following the user concerned. This is the end of the description of the process at the time of message transmission.

  Next, FIG. 16 is a flowchart for explaining processing at the time of browsing a message in the CSM service.

  The premise is the same as the processing at the time of message transmission described above. In step S <b> 11, when a user as a viewer selects the “read” tab 51 at the top of the screen, a message browsing request from the terminal device 20 is transmitted to the service server 30 via the network 11.

  In step S12, the message extraction unit 35 of the service server 30 responds to the message browsing request, and the user of the user who becomes the viewer managed by the user information management unit 34 from the message registered in the message database 33. Based on the user that you are following in the information, filter messages that the user you are following is a caller or communicator. The narrowed down messages are transmitted to the terminal device 20 of the user as a viewer via the communication unit 31 and the network 11. Thereby, the screen display of the terminal device 20 is changed to the browsing screen 50, and the messages transmitted or transmitted by other users who are registered for follow-up are scroll-displayed in time series. In addition, when the browsing screen 50 is already displayed, the process of step S11 and step S12 can be abbreviate | omitted.

  In step S13, when the user sets a context indicating the status of the viewer to the context setting unit 56 of the browsing screen 50, the browsing screen is divided vertically by the dividing line 61 in step S14. Messages narrowed down by the context set in the context setting unit 56 are scroll-displayed in chronological order, and the messages before being narrowed down are scroll-displayed in chronological order below.

  In step S <b> 15, the context set in the context setting unit 56 is transmitted as feedback information to the service server 30 via the network 11. This feedback information is held in the user information management unit 34 of the service server 30. When the terminal device 20 of another user (sender or communicator in this case) that the user (viewer in this case) follows accesses the service server 30 and uses the CSM service The terminal device 20 of the sender or the communicator is notified (feedback). Thus, it can be expected that the sender or the communicator is notified of the feedback information, thereby increasing the willingness to give the context to the caller or the communicator. This is the end of the description of the process for viewing the message.

  Next, FIG. 17 is a flowchart for explaining processing at the time of message transmission in the CSM service.

  When a user (viewer) who views the browsing screen 50 displayed by the message browsing process described above finds a message he / she wants to transmit, the “transmission” button 58 displaying the message is operated as step S21. To do. As a result, a pop-up screen 81 (FIG. 11) is displayed superimposed on the browsing screen 50.

  In step S <b> 22, a context is set for a message transmitted from the viewer to the pop-up screen 81 by the user who has become the transmitter. Specifically, a context that has already been assigned is deleted, changed, or a new context is newly added. The message in which the context is set in this way is viewed by another user who is a follower of the user who has become a communicator. This is the end of the description of the process for message transmission.

  According to the CSM service system 10 described above, each user can browse a message transmitted or transmitted by a user after performing social filtering based on a context representing a viewer's situation. . Therefore, it is possible to browse only messages meaningful to the current viewer.

  In addition, when a sender or a communicator gives a context to a message, feedback information from his follower can be referred to, so that an appropriate context can be set. Further, feedback information from one's own follower is a motivation to positively give a context to a sender or a communicator, and an increase in the frequency of giving a context can be expected.
