[0027] FIG. 6 is a sequence diagram of a process for registering content according to the embodiment. First, the content holder terminal device 200 transmits content data S10 to the management server device 100. The content acquisition unit 102 acquires the content data S10 transmitted by the content holder terminal device 200. The official tag assignment unit 112 assigns official tag information to the content based on an operation by an administrator and transmits the official tag information S11 to the management server device 100, and the tag management unit 106 associates the official tag information S11 transmitted from the administrator terminal device 110 with the content ID of the content corresponding to the content data S10 (step ST10).

[0028] The user terminal device 300 transmits content data S12 to the management server device 100. The content acquisition unit 102 acquires the content data S12 transmitted by the user terminal device 300. The content acquisition unit 102 transmits the acquired content data S12 to the administrator terminal device 110, and causes the user interface unit 114 to display the content corresponding to the content data S12. This allows the administrator to examine the user's content (step ST12). The official tag assignment unit 112 assigns official tag information to the content based on the administrator's operation and transmits the official tag information S13 to the management server device 100, and the tag management unit 106 associates the official tag information S13 transmitted from the administrator terminal device 110 with the content ID of the content corresponding to the content data S12 (step ST14).

[0029] In response to adding the official tag information to the content of the content data S12, the management server device 100 transmits the content data S12 and the confirmation data S14 including the official tag information to the content holder terminal device 200. The content holder terminal device 200 can have the content holder authenticate the content posted by the user by displaying the content and the official tag information by the user interface unit 206 (step ST16). The content holder terminal device 200 transmits the confirmation data S16 indicating the content holder's approval result for the content to the management server device 100. In response to approval by the confirmation data S16, the tag management unit 106 associates the official tag information and the content holder tag information with the content ID of the user's content data S12 and registers them in the table data (user content promotion (step ST18)). This allows the content publishing unit 104 to publish the content acquired from the user terminal device 300 according to the content holder's approval result for the content acquired by the content acquisition unit 102 from the user terminal device 300.

[0030] FIG. 7 is a sequence diagram of a process for adding tag information to content in the embodiment. First, the management server device 100 transmits the content data S20 to the administrator terminal device 110, and the administrator terminal device 110 uses the content data S20 to display the content. The official tag assignment unit 112 accepts an input of an official tag and transmits official tag information S22 to the management server device 100 (step ST20). The official tag assignment unit 112 extracts facts contained in the content using, for example, face authentication processing, character recognition processing, or a machine learning model. The official tag assignment unit 112 generates tag information based on the extracted facts and assigns it to the content. The official tag is, for example, a tag that indicates who, when, where, and what kind of scene it is.

[0031] The management server device 100 transmits the content data S24 to the content holder terminal device 200, and the content holder terminal device 200 displays the content using the content data S24. The content holder tag assigning unit 204 accepts the input of the content holder tag and transmits the content holder tag information S26 to the management server device 100 (step ST22). The content holder tag information S26 is, for example, an emotional tag that the content holder can know, a more accurate fact tag, a tag showing the story behind the content, an official position, or tag information showing emotions that only the content holder can know.

[0032] The tag management unit 106 associates the official tag information and the content holder tag information with the content ID, and transmits confirmation data to the content holder terminal device 200. The confirmation data includes, for example, the official tag information and the content holder tag information associated with the content ID. This enables the content holder terminal device 200 to allow the content holder to confirm the official tag information and the content holder tag information assigned to the content.

[0033] The content publishing unit 104 transmits the content data S30 to the user terminal device 300. For example, the content publishing unit 104 transmits the content data S30 to the user terminal device 300 as a search result in response to a content search request. The user terminal device 300 uses the content data S30 to display the content. The user tag assigning unit 302 accepts the input of the user tag and transmits the user tag information S32 to the management server device 100 (step ST24). The user tag information is, for example, tag information that represents a more accurate fact, a niche classification (classmate pair, hairstyle, makeup, socks, etc.), or the user's own feelings. The tag management unit 106 associates the user tag information with the content ID. The user tag information at this stage is tag information that is only made public to the user who assigned the user tag information.

[0034] The management server device 100 transmits the user tag information S34 to the administrator terminal device 110. The administrator terminal device 110 displays the user tag information S34, thereby allowing the administrator to examine whether or not to promote the user tag information S34 to official tag information. The administrator terminal device 110 transmits an approval result S36 approving the promotion of the user tag information S34 to official tag information to the management server device 100 (step ST26). The tag management unit 106 manages the user tag information as official tag information based on the approval result S36 of the content administrator, thereby making it possible to publish the user tag information as promoted user tag information (step ST28).

[0035] FIG. 8 is a sequence diagram of a process for utilizing content using tag information in the embodiment. The management server device 100 discloses content and tag information related to a content holder in response to a browsing request from a content holder terminal device 200, for example, and discloses content and tag information in response to a search request from a user terminal device 300, for example.

[0036] The tag management unit 106 weights the official tag information, the content holder tag information, and the user tag information based on at least one of the number of views of the content, the purchase record of the product using the content, the number of followers, and the number of shares (step ST30). The tag management unit 106 may associate the official tag information, the content holder tag information, and the user tag information with more content as the weight of each of them is higher. For example, when there are multiple attributes of the content, there are multiple pieces of tag information that can be assigned. In this case, assuming that the number of pieces of tag information that can be assigned to one piece of content is five, tag information with a higher weight is assigned to the content with priority.

[0037] When a search request S40 in which tag information is specified as a search keyword is received from the user terminal device 300, the content publishing unit 104 selects (searches) tag information to be included in the content data based on the weights of the official tag information, the content holder tag information, and the user tag information (step ST32). For example, the content publishing unit 104 selects tag information to be included in the content data based on the weights of the tag information from among the tag information searched based on the degree of match with the tag information included in the search request S40. The content publishing unit 104 transmits the content data S42 to which the selected tag information is assigned to the user terminal device 300. In response to the search request S40, the content publishing unit 104 may transmit tag information similar to the tag information included in the search request S40 to the user terminal device 300 as a search result.

[0038] When a search request S44 in which tag information is specified as a search keyword is received from the content holder terminal device 200, the content publishing unit 104 selects (searches) tag information to be included in the content data based on the weights of the official tag information, the content holder tag information, and the user tag information (step ST34). The content publishing unit 104 selects tag information to be included in the content data based on the weights of the tag information from among the tag information searched for based on the degree of match with the tag information included in the search request S44. The content publishing unit 104 transmits the content data S46 to which the selected tag information is assigned to the content holder terminal device 200. In response to the search request S44, the content publishing unit 104 may transmit tag information similar to the tag information included in the search request S44 to the content holder terminal device 200 as a search result.

[0039] This allows the content management system 1 to organize the content that the content holder holds from multiple perspectives.The content management system 1 can also add value to the content by adding a wide variety of tag information.Furthermore, the content management system 1 can reflect evaluations and tags from the consumer user's perspective in the content, allowing the content holder to select the content to be used for public relations or merchandise.

[0040] When a goods production request S48 including the type of goods and tag information is received from the user terminal device 300, the goods manufacturing support unit 108 searches for contents using the tag information included in the goods production request S48 as a search keyword, creates layout data that automatically lays out the searched contents (step ST36), and transmits the layout data S50 to the user terminal device 300. The user terminal device 300 displays the product layout based on the layout data S50, and performs layout editing processing and product purchase processing based on a user operation (step ST38). The editing processing includes processing for specifying product specifications, processing for arranging multiple content images, enlargement / reduction processing, automatic layout processing, etc. The user terminal device 300 transmits purchase request information S52 including product information for identifying the product to the management server device 100.

[0041] In response to receiving the purchase request information S52, the product manufacturing support unit 108 transmits manufacturing request information S54 including user information and product information to the product manufacturing system 400. The product manufacturing system 400 manufactures the product according to the manufacturing request information S54 and ships the manufactured product to the user (step ST40). When a product using the content is purchased, the content publishing unit 104 transmits product information S56 to the user terminal device 300 of a user belonging to a community corresponding to the tag information attached to the content or a user included in a community to which the user who purchased the product belongs. In this way, the user terminal device 300 that has received the product information S56 can allow other users in the community to which the user belongs to view the products purchased (step ST42).

[0042] FIG. 9 is a sequence diagram of a process for utilizing content using community information according to the embodiment. In response to receiving an operation to follow tag information, the user terminal device 300 transmits tag follow information S60 to the management server device 100 (step ST50). The management server device 100 performs an update process to add the user to the community corresponding to the tag information based on the tag follow information S60 (step ST52). The updated community information can be referenced by the administrator terminal device 110. The content publishing unit 104 can recommend content data S62 associated with the followed tag information to the user terminal device 300 that transmitted the tag follow information S60 by searching for content associated with the followed tag information (step ST54).

[0043] The user terminal device 300 transmits a tag follower search request S64 to the management server device 100 in response to receiving an operation to search for followers indicating users who are following the tag information. The management server device 100 searches for tag followers in response to receiving the tag follower search request S64 (step ST56). The management server device 100 refers to the community information managed by the management server device 100 and searches for followers of the tag information specified by the tag follower search request S64. The management server device 100 transmits tag follower list information S66 as the search result to the user terminal device 300. The user terminal device 300 transmits follower information S68 to the management server device 100 in response to receiving an operation to follow another user based on the tag follower list information (step ST58).

[0044] The tag management unit 106 updates the community information based on the follower information S68 (step ST60). The tag management unit 106 updates the community information of the community including the users who follow the followers, for example. The updated community information can be referred to by the administrator terminal device 110. The management server device 100 transmits the community information S70 to the content holder terminal device 200 by referring to the community information. The tag management unit 106 transmits the community information including the information about the users included in the community to the content holder terminal device 200, so that the content holder terminal device 200 can transmit the advertisement information S74 to the user terminal device 300 based on the community information. At this time, the content holder terminal device 200 can analyze the user information of the user included in the community information S70 (step ST64) and select the advertisement information S74. The content holder terminal device 200 may notify the user of the advertisement information S74, advertisement information, advertisements about the content holder, special information, and the like.

[0045] The content holder terminal device 200 can implement targeted advertising in communities created by users' usage in semi-official services that handle official content. The content holder terminal device 200 can also reach users with detailed segments called tag information. The content holder terminal device 200 can also notify advertising information and the like in a closed manner compared to general SNS.

[0046] The tag management unit 106 transmits similar tag information S72 similar to the official tag information, content holder tag information, or user tag information corresponding to the community to the user terminal device 300 corresponding to the user included in the community (step ST62). In response to receiving the similar tag information S72, the user terminal device 300 can recommend similar tags, for example, when searching for tag information.

[0047] An update process is performed to add a user to a community corresponding to the tag information based on the tag follow information S60 (step ST52). The updated community information can be referred to by the administrator terminal device 110. The content publishing unit 104 can recommend content data associated with the followed tag information to the user terminal device 300 that transmitted the tag follow information S60 by searching for content associated with the followed tag information (step ST54).
