[0035] The operation history information 154 is information on operations performed on a video that has been played back from among the videos 151A to 151Z. Specifically, the operation history information 154 includes, for example, whether or not an operation such as a fast-forward operation, a rewind operation, a pause operation, a stop operation, a play operation, a skip operation, or a frame-by-frame operation has been performed on the played back video, and the time when the operation was performed. Furthermore, in the case where the played back video includes a predetermined operated area such as a tag, the operation history information 154 includes, for example, whether or not an operation such as clicking or pressing the tag has been performed, and the time when the operation was performed.

[0036] Report information 155 is information including the playback time, number of times played, playback order of videos 151A to 151Z, and history related to operations by a viewer on videos 151A to 151Z. Report information 155 includes a transition report in which the playback order of videos 151A to 151Z is display-controlled in a display mode according to the number of times played and playback time of videos 151A to 151Z, and a summary report in which playback history information 153 and operation history information 154 of videos 151A to 151Z are displayed and controlled in graphs.

[0037] In the present embodiment, the moving images 151A to 151Z are stored in the storage unit 150 of the information processing device 10 and are provided to the terminal 20 by the providing unit 110 via the communication network NT, but are not limited to this. The moving images 151A to 151Z may be stored in a device different from the information processing device 10 and provided to the terminal 20 from that device via the communication network NT.

[0038] The transition report will be described with reference to Fig. 5A. Fig. 5A is a diagram showing an example of a transition report in report information 155 whose display is controlled by the information processing device 10 according to the present embodiment. As shown in Fig. 5A, the transition report includes a display area 1551, an item operation area 1552, and buttons 1553 and 1554.

[0039] The display area 1551 is an area in which the playback order of moving images that are the subject of display control among the moving images 151A to 151Z is displayed in the form of a tree structure. The display area 1551 includes, for example, nodes n1 to n14 in the playback order information 152 and routes r1 to r92 that indicate the connection relationships between the nodes n1 to n14.

[0040] The nodes n1 to n13 are arranged, for example, as a rectangular region in the display region 1551. The nodes n1 to n13 are controlled to display the associated moving images among the moving images 151A to 151Z near the center. The nodes n1 to n13 are also connected to the transition source and transition destination nodes via any of the routes r1 to r92.

[0041] The routes r1 to r92 are objects for indicating the connection relationships of the nodes n1 to n13, respectively, and are arranged in the display area 1551. The routes r1 to r92 are display-controlled in the display area 1551 in a display mode according to the playback history information 153 for a video associated with the node corresponding to the transition source among the connected nodes. Specifically, the route r71 is display-controlled in the display area 1551 in a thickness according to the number of times played or the playback time included in the playback history information 153 of the video 151G associated with the node n7 corresponding to the transition source, for example.

[0042] The item operation area 1552 is an area for selecting the videos 151A-151Z to be display-controlled in the display area 1551. The item operation area 1552 includes, for example, a pull-down menu for each item and a display button. The first pull-down menu is configured to allow the selection of the videos 151A-151Z to be display-controlled for each web page on which the video is played. The second pull-down menu is configured to allow the selection of the videos 151A-151Z to be display-controlled for each period during which the video is played. When the display button is pressed, it displays the node and route associated with the selected video 151A-151Z.

[0043] Button 1553 is a button for controlling the display of the summary report. When button 1553 is pressed, display control is switched from the transition report to the summary report.

[0044] The button 1554 is a button for ending the display control of the report information 155, and by pressing the button 1554, the display control of the report information 155 is ended.

[0045] The summary report will be described with reference to Fig. 5B. Fig. 5B is a diagram showing an example of a summary report in the report information 155 whose display is controlled by the information processing device 10 according to the present embodiment. As shown in Fig. 5B, the summary report includes a display area 1555, an item operation area 1552, and buttons 1553 and 1554.

[0046] The display area 1555 is an area in which various information relating to the moving image that is the subject of display control among the moving images 151A to 151Z is displayed in the form of graphs.

[0047] The item operation area 1552 in the summary report is an area for selecting the videos 151A-151Z and items to be displayed and controlled in the display area 1555. The item operation area 1552 includes, for example, a pull-down menu for each item and a display button. The first pull-down menu is configured to allow the selection of the videos 151A-151Z to be displayed and controlled for each web page on which the video is played. The second pull-down menu is configured to allow the selection of the videos 151A-151Z to be displayed and controlled for each period during which the video is played. The third pull-down menu is configured to allow the selection of which items to display in the display area 1555. Here, the items are, for example, the playback time and the number of playbacks. When the display button is pressed, the selected videos 151A-151Z and items are displayed in the display area 1555 as a graph.

[0048] <Process flow> The above describes the functional configuration of the information processing device 10. Next, a detailed description will be given of the flow of a series of processes in the information processing device 10. Fig. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of processes when the information processing device 10 according to this embodiment controls the display of report information 155.

[0049] (Step SP10) The information processing device 10 acquires the playback history information 153 from the terminal 20 via the communication network NT by the acquisition unit 120. The information processing device 10 stores the acquired playback history information 153 in the storage unit 150. Then, the process proceeds to step SP12.

[0050] (Step SP12) The information processing device 10 acquires the operation history information 154 from the terminal 20 via the communication network NT by the acquisition unit 120. The information processing device 10 stores the acquired operation history information 154 in the storage unit 150. Then, the process proceeds to the process of step SP14.

[0051] (Step SP14) The information processing device 10, by using the display control unit 130, refers to the storage unit 150 and selects one moving image for which the display mode is to be determined from among the moving images 151A to 151Z. Then, the process proceeds to the process of step SP16.

[0052] (Step SP16) The information processing device 10 acquires the playback history information 153 and the operation history information 154 related to the selected video from the storage unit 150 by the display control unit 130. The information processing device 10 determines the display mode of the route associated with the selected video in the transition report according to the acquired playback history information 153 and operation history information 154. Specifically, the information processing device 10 extracts information related to how many viewers have viewed the video from the operation history information 154, and extracts information related to the number of times the video has been played and the playback time of the video from the playback history information 153. The information processing device 10 determines the thickness of the route associated with the video according to the extracted information so that the thickness increases as the number of viewers who have played the video, the number of times it has been played, or the playback time increases. Then, the process proceeds to the process of step SP22.

[0053] (Step SP18) The information processing device 10 determines whether or not the display modes for all the target videos have been determined by the display control unit 130. Specifically, the information processing device 10 refers to the playback order information 152 from the storage unit 150, and determines whether or not the display modes have been determined for the videos that can be reached by repeating transitions from the selected video and the videos that can be reached by repeating transitions to the selected video. If the determination is a positive determination, the process proceeds to step SP20, and if the determination is a negative determination, the process returns to step SP14.

[0054] (Step SP20) The information processing device 10 acquires the playback order information 152 from the storage unit 150 by the display control unit 130, and creates a transition report that includes the information indicated by the acquired playback order information 152, the playback history information 153, and the operation history information 154 and that results in the determined display mode. Then, the process proceeds to step SP22.

[0055] (Step SP22) The information processing device 10 creates a summary report by the display control unit 130 so as to include information indicated by the already acquired playback order information 152, playback history information 153, and operation history information 154. Then, the process proceeds to step SP24.

[0056] (Step SP24) The information processing device 10 controls the display of the created transition report and summary report, and then the series of processes shown in FIG.

[0057] <Effects> As described above, in this embodiment, the program causes the information processing device 10 (computer) to function as a memory unit 150 that stores a plurality of videos 151A to 151Z and playback order information 152 related to the playback order of the videos 151A to 151Z, an acquisition unit 120 that acquires playback history information 153 related to the playback of the played videos 151A to 151Z and operation history information 154 related to operations performed on the played videos 151A to 151Z, and a display control unit 130 that generates report information 155 related to the videos 151A to 151Z based on the playback order information 152, the playback history information 153, and the operation history information 154, and controls the display of the report information 155 in a display mode corresponding to the number of times the videos 151A to 151Z have been played or the playback time.

[0058] As a result, the program controls the display of report information 155 in a display mode according to information about the playback of moving images 151A to 151Z. Therefore, the program can easily grasp information about the moving images.

[0059] In addition, in this embodiment, the playback order information 152 includes a plurality of nodes n1 to n13 to which the videos to be played among the videos 151A to 151Z are respectively associated, connection information indicating the connection relationships between the plurality of nodes n1 to n13, and condition information indicating the conditions for moving from one node to another node.

[0060] Thus, the program can more easily grasp information about the moving pictures, since it contains information about the nodes whose playing order is connected to each other.

[0061] Furthermore, in this embodiment, in controlling the display of report information 155, display control unit 130 controls the display of a trajectory (route) between a node to which played videos 151A-151Z correspond and the next node of the node in a display mode according to the number of times the videos 151A-151Z have been played or the playback time of the videos 151A-151Z.

[0062] Therefore, since the program controls the display of the route in a display mode according to the playback time or the number of times played, it is easy to know which video has been played the most.

[0063] In this embodiment, the acquiring unit 120 acquires information about the web pages on which the videos 151A to 151Z are played. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the display control unit 130 controls the display of the report information 155 for each web page.

[0064] Therefore, since the program controls the display of report information 155 for each web page, it is easy to grasp information such as which web page has the most videos being played.

[0065] <Modification> The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. In other words, the above-described embodiment may be modified by a person skilled in the art as appropriate, and the modifications may be included within the scope of the present invention as long as they include the characteristics of the present invention. In addition, the elements of the above-described embodiment and the modifications described below may be combined to the extent technically possible, and the combinations of these may be included within the scope of the present invention as long as they include the characteristics of the present invention.

[0066] For example, in the present embodiment, the display control unit 130 controls the display of the routes r1 to r92 so that the route becomes thicker as the number of times a video is played or the playback time is longer, but is not limited to this. For example, the display control unit 130 may control the display of the routes r1 to r92 so that the route becomes longer, the color becomes darker, and the brightness becomes higher as the number of times a video is played or the playback time is longer.

[0067] According to this configuration, the program controls the display of the report information 155 according to the number of times the report information 155 is played or the playback time by using not only the thickness of the routes r1 to r92 but also other expression methods, so that the program can easily grasp information related to the video.

[0068] In the present embodiment, the operation history information 154 may include information indicating that the viewer has accessed the videos 151A-151 and information indicating that the viewer has left the videos 151A-151.

[0069] According to this configuration, the program generates report information 155 according to information on access and exit from videos 151A to 151Z, so that information on videos can be grasped more easily. [Explanation of symbols]
