[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, and an information processing program. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, there are known techniques for distributing information via the Internet, such as a technique for outputting information that has been saved for later viewing (pending viewing information) when it is detected that the information is available for viewing by a user. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2015-108875 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, the above-mentioned techniques cannot be said to improve the visibility when the content is accessed again.

[0005] For example, in the above-mentioned technology, when it is detected that the pending viewing information is available for viewing by the user, the pending viewing information determined to be displayed is simply presented as a pop-up or a screen transition to a page for the pending viewing information, etc., and it cannot be said that this improves visibility when the content is accessed again.

[0006] The present application has been made in view of the above, and aims to improve the visibility when content is accessed again. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The information processing device of the present application is characterized by having a reception unit that receives registration of a position in content that a user has finished reading, and a display control unit that, when the user accesses the content again, displays the content, information indicating the position, and a summary of the content from the beginning to the position on a user terminal used by the user. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] According to one aspect of the embodiment, it is possible to improve the visibility when accessing content again. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] Hereinafter, an information processing device, an information processing method, and an information processing program according to the present application (hereinafter referred to as "embodiments") will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the information processing device, the information processing method, and the information processing program according to the present application are not limited to these embodiments. Furthermore, the same components in the following embodiments will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and duplicated descriptions will be omitted.

[0011] 1. Embodiment Information processing implemented by an information processing device or the like according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an example of information processing according to the embodiment. Note that in Fig. 1, it is assumed that the information processing according to the embodiment is implemented by an information processing device 10, which is an example of the information processing device according to the present application.

[0012] As shown in Fig. 1, an information processing system 1 according to an embodiment includes an information processing device 10 and a user terminal 100. The information processing device 10 and the user terminal 100 are connected to each other via a network N (see Fig. 5, for example) so as to be able to communicate with each other via a wired or wireless connection. The network N is, for example, a wide area network (WAN) such as the Internet. Note that the information processing system 1 shown in Fig. 1 may include a plurality of information processing devices 10 and a plurality of user terminals 100.

[0013] 1 is an information processing device that performs information processing, and is realized by, for example, a server device, a cloud system, etc. In the example of Fig. 1, the information processing device 10 is, for example, an information processing device that provides a news service that provides content related to news articles to users.

[0014] The information processing device 10 may have a function as a web server that provides a website related to a news service. The information processing device 10 may also be a device that distributes information to the user terminal 100 to be displayed on an application related to a news service (hereinafter, may be referred to as a "news app") installed in the user terminal 100. The information processing device 10 may also be a server that distributes the data of the news app itself. The information processing device 10 may also function as a distribution device that distributes control information to the user terminal 100. Here, the control information is written in, for example, a script language such as JavaScript (registered trademark) or a style sheet language such as CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). The news app itself distributed from the information processing device 10 may also be considered as control information.

[0015] The user terminal 100 shown in Fig. 1 is an information processing device used by a user. The user terminal 100 is realized, for example, by a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a notebook PC (Personal Computer), a desktop PC, a mobile phone, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), etc. In the example shown in Fig. 1, the user terminal 100 is a smartphone used by a user.

[0016] Furthermore, the user terminal 100 displays information provided by the information processing device 10 using a web browser or an application. When the user terminal 100 receives control information for realizing information display processing from the information processing device 10 or the like, the user terminal 100 realizes the display processing in accordance with the control information.

[0017] The information processing performed by the information processing device 10 will be described below with reference to FIG. 1. In the following description, it is assumed that the user terminal 100 is used by a user U1. In the following description, the user terminal 100 may be considered to be the same as the user U1. In other words, in the following description, the user U1 may also be read as the user terminal 100.

[0018] In the following description, it is assumed that a news application is installed on the user terminal 100.

[0019] First, the information processing device 10 provides content related to a news article to the user terminal 100 (step S1). For example, the information processing device 10 provides content #1 related to a news article via a news app. Then, the user U1 views the provided content #1.

[0020] In the example of FIG. 1, it is assumed that user U1 has not read content #1 to the end and wishes to leave content #1. In such a case, information processing device 10 receives from user terminal 100 a registration of a reading completion position, which is the position in content #1 where user U1 has finished reading (in other words, a position indicating how far user U1 has read) (step S2). For example, information processing device 10 receives the position where user U1 performed a predetermined operation on content #1 displayed on user terminal 100 as the reading completion position.

[0021] An example of registering the reading completion position will now be described with reference to Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a diagram (1) showing an example of the screen of the user terminal 100 according to the embodiment.

[0022] In the example shown in Fig. 2, the user terminal 100 displays a screen C11 showing content #1. In the example of Fig. 2, it is assumed that user U1 has read content #1 from the beginning to position P11. In such a case, user U1 presses and holds position P11 to register (designate) position P11 as the reading completion position.

[0023] Then, the user terminal 100 transmits the position P11 as the reading completion position to the information processing device 10. Also, the user terminal 100 displays an icon IC11 indicating the reading completion position at a position corresponding to the position P11, as shown on a screen C12.

[0024] Returning to Figure 1, the explanation will continue. Next, when user U1 is browsing content using a news app, information processing device 10 provides corresponding content corresponding to the content for which user U1 has registered the reading completion position (step S3). For example, when user U1 is browsing content other than content #1, information processing device 10 provides corresponding content #1 corresponding to content #1.

[0025] An example of compatible content provided to the user terminal 100 will now be described with reference to Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a diagram (2) showing an example of the screen of the user terminal 100 according to the embodiment.

[0026] 3, the user terminal 100 displays a screen C2 including an area AR21 that displays content #2 and an area AR22 that displays corresponding contents in a carousel format. For example, the user terminal 100 displays, in the area AR22, an image (e.g., a thumbnail image) of the content for which the user U1 has registered the reading completion position, text information indicating the title of the content, and the percentage of the content from the beginning to the reading completion position (in other words, the percentage of the content that the user U1 has read) as the corresponding content.

[0027] Returning to Fig. 1, the explanation will be continued. In the example of Fig. 1, it is assumed that user U1 selects corresponding content #1 (in other words, accesses content #1 again). In such a case, the information processing device 10 causes the user terminal 100 to display content #1, information indicating position P11 in content #1 that user U1 has finished reading, and a summary of content #1 from the beginning to position P11 (step S4).

[0028] An example of information provided to the user terminal 100 in response to selection of compatible content will now be described with reference to Fig. 4. Fig. 4 is a diagram (3) showing an example of a screen of the user terminal 100 according to the embodiment.

[0029] 4, the user terminal 100 displays a screen C3 showing content #1. For example, the user terminal 100 displays a screen C3 showing an area of ​​content #1 including position P11 as the initial display screen when content #1 is accessed again. Note that the user terminal 100 may display the topmost area of ​​content #1, and then automatically scroll to display the area including position P11.

[0030] The user terminal 100 also displays an icon IC31 (similar to icon IC11) indicating the reading completion position at a position corresponding to position P11. The character string from the beginning of content #1 to position P11 is displayed in a lighter color, thereby making it less visible than the character string after position P11 (in other words, the character string after position P11 is highlighted). The user terminal 100 also displays a speech bubble B31 indicating a summary from the beginning of content #1 to position P11 (bookmark) at position P11.

[0031] The information processing device 10 generates a summary by inputting the character string from the beginning of content #1 to position P11 and an instruction sentence instructing the model, which has been trained to generate an answer to the input question, to output a summary of the character string, and displays the summary in speech bubble B31.

[0032] The model is a model trained to output an answer sentence (summary) corresponding to an input question sentence (instruction sentence), and is a language model that performs natural language processing such as GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) or BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers). The model is stored in the information processing device 10 and was independently created by the company that manages the news app. It is desirable that the input information, such as personal information, be kept confidential by training it so that it will not be used as a new answer.

[0033] As described above, when a user re-accesses content that the user left midway without reading, the information processing device 10 according to the embodiment displays a summary of the part that has already been read, along with the position that has already been read (in other words, the position where reading should be resumed). This allows the information processing device 10 according to the embodiment to improve visibility when the content is accessed again.

[0034] Furthermore, conventionally, when a user browses a long news article during their free time, they may abandon the article without reading it to the end. In such a situation, even if the user attempts to resume browsing, it may not be possible to determine which article they were browsing. Furthermore, even if the user accesses the news article again and attempts to resume browsing, it may not be possible to determine how far they were browsing. For this reason, if a user abandons the article while browsing, there is a problem in that the news article is not read to the end and remains buried.

[0035] Therefore, the information processing device 10 according to the embodiment provides the user with the corresponding content corresponding to the content for which the reading completion position has been registered while the user is viewing other content, thereby enabling the user to determine which content the user has viewed and resume viewing the content.

[0036] Furthermore, when a user accesses content for which the reading completion position has been registered again, the information processing device 10 according to the embodiment can display information indicating the reading completion position as well as a summary up to the reading completion position, allowing the user to resume viewing the content without having to re-check the content of the part that has been read.

[0037] Furthermore, the information processing device 10 according to the embodiment can provide users with a sense of security that even if they leave the device in the middle of viewing content, they can smoothly resume viewing when they access the device again, thereby lowering the psychological barrier to viewing content that takes a long time to view, for example.

[0038] Furthermore, by accepting registration of the reading position, the information processing device 10 according to the embodiment can grasp how far the user has read the content, and can therefore determine the authenticity of the comments posted by the user regarding the content.

[0039] [2. Other processing examples] The above-described process is merely an example, and the information processing device 10 may perform various processes using various information. In this regard, examples are listed below.

[0040] [2-1. About the Content] 1 shows an example in which the content is a news article, but the content is not limited to this example. For example, the content may be an electronic book (e.g., a novel, a manga, etc.) or various web content.

[0041] [2-2. Disclosure of reading completion position] 1, the information processing device 10 may make public (present) the reading completion position registered by user U1 to other users. For example, when user U2, who follows user U1 in a news service, views content #1, the information processing device 10 presents information indicating position P11 to the user terminal 100 used by user U2.

[0042] [2-3. Display of percentages] In the example of Figure 1, when user U1 accesses selected content #1 again, the information processing device 10 may display content #1, information indicating the position P11 in content #1 that user U1 has finished reading, and a summary of content #1 from the beginning to position P11, as well as the percentage (proportion) of content #1 from the beginning to position P11.

[0043] 3. Configuration of Information Processing Device Next, the configuration of the information processing device 10 will be described with reference to Fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the information processing device 10 according to the embodiment. As shown in Fig. 5, the information processing device 10 has a communication unit 20, a storage unit 30, and a control unit 40.

[0044] (Regarding the communication unit 20) The communication unit 20 is realized by, for example, a network interface card (NIC), etc. The communication unit 20 is connected to the network N by wire or wirelessly, and transmits and receives information to and from the user terminal 100, etc.

[0045] (Regarding the storage unit 30) The storage unit 30 is realized by, for example, a semiconductor memory element such as a RAM (Random Access Memory) or a flash memory, or a storage device such as a hard disk or an optical disk. As shown in FIG. 5, the storage unit 30 has a user information database 31, a content information database 32, and a model database 33.

[0046] (Regarding User Information Database 31) The user information database 31 stores various types of information related to users. An example of the information stored in the user information database 31 will now be described with reference to FIG. 6. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the user information database 31. In the example of FIG. 6, the user information database 31 has items such as "user ID," "content ID," "reading completion position," "ratio information," and "summary information."

[0047] "User ID" indicates identification information for identifying the user. "Content ID" indicates identification information for identifying the content. "Reading position" indicates the position in the content that user U1 has finished reading. "Proportion information" indicates the proportion (percentage) of the content from the beginning to the reading position. "Summary information" indicates a summary of the content from the beginning to the reading position.

[0048] That is, Figure 6 shows an example in which the reading position registered by a user identified by user ID "UID#1" in content identified by content ID "CID#1" is "reading position #1," the proportion of the content from the beginning to the reading position is "proportion information #1," and the summary of the content from the beginning to the reading position is "summary information #1."

[0049] (About Content Information Database 32) The content information database 32 stores various information related to content relating to news articles. An example of the information stored in the content information database 32 will now be described with reference to FIG. 7. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the content information database 32. In the example of FIG. 7, the content information database 32 has items such as "content ID" and "content details."

[0050] "Content ID" indicates identification information for identifying the content. "Content details" indicates information related to the content (e.g., a news article), and stores information such as an image showing a news article or text information showing a news article.

[0051] That is, FIG. 7 shows an example in which the content details of the content identified by the content ID "CID#1" are "content details #1."

[0052] (About Model Database 33) The model database 33 stores models that have been trained to generate answers to input questions.

[0053] (Regarding the control unit 40) The control unit 40 is a controller, and is realized, for example, by a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or an MPU (Micro Processing Unit) executing various programs stored in a storage device inside the information processing device 10 using RAM as a work area. The control unit 40 is also a controller, and is realized, for example, by an integrated circuit such as an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) or an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array). As shown in FIG. 5 , the control unit 40 according to the embodiment has a receiving unit 41, a providing unit 42, a display control unit 43, and a presenting unit 44, and realizes or executes the functions and actions of information processing described below.

[0054] (Regarding Reception Section 41) The reception unit 41 receives registration of a position in content that a user has finished reading. For example, in the example of FIG. 1, the reception unit 41 receives registration of a reading completion position, which is a position in content #1 that user U1 has finished reading, from the user terminal 100, and stores the registration in the user information database 31.

[0055] (About the provider 42) The providing unit 42 provides corresponding content corresponding to the content in a content different from the content. For example, in the example of Fig. 1, the providing unit 42 refers to the user information database 31 and the content information database 32, and when the user U1 is viewing content other than content #1, provides corresponding content #1 corresponding to content #1.

[0056] The providing unit 42 may also provide corresponding content indicating the percentage of the content from the beginning to the position. For example, in the example of Fig. 1, the providing unit 42 provides corresponding content indicating the percentage of the content from the beginning to the reading completion position.

[0057] (Regarding the display control unit 43) When a user accesses content again, the display control unit 43 causes the user terminal 100 to display the content, information indicating the position, and a summary of the content from the beginning to the position. For example, in the example of Fig. 1, the display control unit 43 refers to the user information database 31 and the content information database 32, and when user U1 accesses selected content #1 again, causes the user terminal 100 to display content #1, information indicating the position P11 in content #1 where user U1 has finished reading, and a summary of content #1 from the beginning to the position P11.

[0058] Furthermore, the display control unit 43 may further cause the user terminal 100 to display information indicating the percentage of the content from the beginning to the position. For example, in the example of Fig. 1, the display control unit 43 causes the user terminal 100 to display, in addition to content #1, information indicating position P11 in content #1 that user U1 has finished reading, and a summary of content #1 from the beginning to position P11, the percentage of content #1 from the beginning to position P11.

[0059] Furthermore, the display control unit 43 may display the content from the beginning up to the position P11 in a different display mode from that after the position P11. For example, in the example of Fig. 1, the display control unit 43 displays the character string from the beginning of content #1 up to the position P11 in a lighter color, thereby making the character string less visible than the character string after the position P11, on the user terminal 100.

[0060] Furthermore, the display control unit 43 may display an area corresponding to the position as an initial display screen when the content is accessed again. For example, in the example of Fig. 1, the display control unit 43 displays a screen C3 showing an area of ​​the content #1 that includes the position P11 on the user terminal 100 as an initial display screen when the content #1 is accessed again.

[0061] Furthermore, when a user performs an operation to select corresponding content, the display control unit 43 may display the content, information indicating the position, and a summary. For example, in the example of Fig. 1, when user U1 selects corresponding content #1, the display control unit 43 displays content #1, information indicating position P11 in content #1 that user U1 has finished reading, and a summary of content #1 from the beginning to position P11 on the user terminal 100.

[0062] (Regarding the presentation unit 44) The presenting unit 44 presents information indicating the user and information indicating the location to other users. For example, in the example of Fig. 1, when user U2, who follows user U1 in the news service, views content #1, the presenting unit 44 presents information indicating location P11 to the user terminal 100 used by user U2.

[0063] [4. Information processing flow] The procedure of information processing of the information processing device 10 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 8. Fig. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of information processing according to the embodiment.

[0064] 8, the information processing device 10 accepts registration of a position in the content that the user has finished reading (step S101). Subsequently, the information processing device 10 determines whether the user has accessed the content again (step S102). If the user has not accessed the content again (step S102; No), the information processing device 10 waits until the user accesses the content again.

[0065] On the other hand, if the user accesses the content again (step S102; Yes), the information processing device 10 displays the content, information indicating the registered location, and a summary of the content from the beginning to the location on the user terminal used by the user (step S103), and terminates the processing.

[0066] [5. Modifications] The above-described embodiment is merely an example, and various modifications and applications are possible.

[0067] [5-1. Processing mode] Of the processes described in the above embodiments, all or part of the processes described as being performed automatically can be performed manually, and conversely, all or part of the processes described as being performed manually can be performed automatically using known methods. In addition, the information, including the processing procedures, specific names, various data, and parameters shown in the above text and drawings, can be changed as desired unless otherwise specified. For example, the various information shown in each drawing is not limited to the information shown in the drawings.

[0068] Furthermore, the components of each device shown in the figure are conceptual functional components and do not necessarily have to be physically configured as shown in the figure. In other words, the specific form of distribution and integration of each device is not limited to that shown in the figure, and all or part of them can be functionally or physically distributed and integrated in any unit depending on various loads, usage conditions, etc.

[0069] Furthermore, the above-described embodiments can be combined as appropriate within the scope of not causing any contradiction in the processing content.

[0070] [6. Effects] As described above, the information processing device 10 according to the embodiment includes a receiving unit 41, a providing unit 42, a display control unit 43, and a presenting unit 44. The receiving unit 41 receives registration of a position in content that the user has finished reading. The providing unit 42 provides corresponding content that corresponds to the content, but is different from the content itself. The providing unit 42 also provides corresponding content that indicates a percentage of the content from the beginning to the position. When the user accesses the content again, the display control unit 43 causes the user terminal to display the content, information indicating the position, and a summary of the content from the beginning to the position. The display control unit 43 also causes the user terminal to display information indicating the percentage of the content from the beginning to the position. When the user performs an operation to select corresponding content, the display control unit 43 also displays the content, information indicating the position, and the summary. The presenting unit 44 presents information indicating the user and information indicating the position to other users.

[0071] As a result, when a user re-accesses content that the user left halfway through without reading it in full, the information processing device 10 of the embodiment displays a summary of the part that has already been read along with the position that has already been read, thereby improving visibility when the content is accessed again.

[0072] In the information processing device 10 according to the embodiment, for example, the display control unit 43 displays the content from the beginning to a position in a display mode different from that of the content after the position. Also, the display control unit 43 displays an area corresponding to the position as an initial display screen when the content is accessed again.

[0073] As a result, the information processing device 10 according to the embodiment can display the part of the content where viewing should be resumed, so that the user can resume viewing the content without having to reconfirm the content of the part that the user has finished reading.

[0074] [7. Hardware Configuration] The information processing device 10 according to each of the above-described embodiments is realized, for example, by a computer 1000 configured as shown in Fig. 9. The following description will be given taking the information processing device 10 as an example. Fig. 9 is a hardware configuration diagram showing an example of a computer that realizes the functions of the information processing device 10. The computer 1000 has a CPU 1100, a ROM 1200, a RAM 1300, an HDD 1400, a communication interface (I / F) 1500, an input / output interface (I / F) 1600, and a media interface (I / F) 1700.

[0075] The CPU 1100 operates and controls each unit based on programs stored in the ROM 1200 or the HDD 1400. The ROM 1200 stores a boot program executed by the CPU 1100 when the computer 1000 starts up, programs that depend on the hardware of the computer 1000, and the like.

[0076] The HDD 1400 stores programs executed by the CPU 1100, data used by such programs, etc. The communication interface 1500 receives data from other devices via a communication network 500 (corresponding to the network N in the embodiment) and sends the data to the CPU 1100, and also transmits data generated by the CPU 1100 to other devices via the communication network 500.

[0077] The CPU 1100 controls output devices such as a display and a printer, and input devices such as a keyboard and a mouse, via the input / output interface 1600. The CPU 1100 acquires data from the input devices via the input / output interface 1600. The CPU 1100 also outputs generated data to the output devices via the input / output interface 1600.

[0078] Media interface 1700 reads a program or data stored in recording medium 1800 and provides it to CPU 1100 via RAM 1300. CPU 1100 loads the program or data from recording medium 1800 onto RAM 1300 via media interface 1700 and executes the loaded program. Recording medium 1800 is, for example, an optical recording medium such as a DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) or a PD (Phase Change Rewritable Disc), a magneto-optical recording medium such as an MO (Magneto-Optical disk), a tape medium, a magnetic recording medium, or a semiconductor memory.

[0079] For example, when the computer 1000 functions as the information processing device 10, the CPU 1100 of the computer 1000 executes programs loaded onto the RAM 1300 to realize the functions of the control unit 40. The HDD 1400 also stores various data in the storage device of the information processing device 10. The CPU 1100 of the computer 1000 reads and executes these programs from the recording medium 1800, but as another example, the CPU 1100 may obtain these programs from another device via a predetermined communication network.

[0080] [8. Other] Although some of the embodiments of the present application have been described in detail above with reference to the drawings, these are merely examples, and the present invention can be implemented in other forms that include the embodiments described in the Disclosure of the Invention section and that have undergone various modifications and improvements based on the knowledge of those skilled in the art.
