[Figure 6] 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a process in which the information processing device 1 generates content. [Figure 7] 3 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing in the information processing device 1. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0021] [Outline of Information Processing System S] FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an overview of an information processing system S according to an embodiment. The information processing system S is a system for providing video content to users. The information processing system S generates video content according to the user and distributes the generated content. The information processing system S includes an information processing device 1, a distribution server 2, and an information terminal 3.

[0022] The information processing device 1 is a device for generating video content according to the user's preferences. The information processing device 1 acquires materials that constitute video content based on the user's attributes and generates video content by combining the acquired materials. The materials are content that constitute the elements of video content. The materials include video data, still image data, text data, audio data, or music data. When the information processing device 1 generates video content, it grants a reward to the user who posted the material used in the video. The reward is an economic benefit given to the user, and one example is points that can be used in a specified point service. The information processing device 1 may grant a reward according to the number of times the content is played.

[0023] The distribution server 2 distributes various video content in response to requests from the information terminal 3. The distribution server 2 transmits instructions to the information processing device 1 to generate video content for users, and distributes the video content generated by the information processing device 1 to the information terminal 3.

[0024] The information terminal 3 is a terminal used by a user who uses the content distribution service. The information terminal 3 is, for example, a smartphone, a tablet, or a personal computer. The information terminal 3 transmits a request to view video content to the distribution server 2 and displays the video content acquired from the distribution server 2. The user operates the information terminal 3 to register or edit user information for the content distribution service, and the information terminal 3 transmits the received user attribute information to the information processing device 1. The user posts materials that make up the content via the information terminal 3.

[0025] The processing in the information processing system S will be described. A user posts material ((1) in FIG. 1). The information processing device 1 generates and stores material information that associates a material ID that identifies the posted material with the properties of the material. The information processing device 1 may store the posted material, or may store it in an external server (not shown). The distribution server 2 transmits a generation request to the information processing device 1 ((2) in FIG. 1). The generation request is information for requesting the generation of content configured using information posted by the user to a predetermined service as material. The generation request includes a user ID (Identification) of the user who will view the video content (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as the "target user"). The distribution server 2 may transmit the generation request when it receives a request from the user to view the video content, or may transmit the generation request at a predetermined timing.

[0026] The information processing device 1 acquires the user attributes indicated by the generation request ((3) in FIG. 1). The attributes are information indicating the characteristics of the user for identifying the user's preferences. The attributes include, for example, age, gender, occupation, hobbies, and interests. The information processing device 1 may store user information including the user attributes, or may acquire the attributes of the target user from an external server (not shown).

[0027] The information processing device 1 acquires material having properties corresponding to the user's attributes ((4) in FIG. 1). The properties of the material are information indicating the characteristics of the material. The properties of the material indicate the theme, subject, genre, author, performer, etc. of the material. As an example, the information processing device 1 stores a trained model that has learned the relationship between the user's attributes and the properties of material suitable for the user, and identifies the properties of the material that correspond to the user's attributes.

[0028] The information processing device 1 acquires a material having the specified properties ((4) in FIG. 1). As an example, the information processing device 1 stores material information that associates a material, a resource referenced to acquire the material, and the properties of the material. The information processing device 1 accesses the referenced resource that corresponds to the material having the specified properties in the material information, and acquires the material.

[0029] The information processing device 1 generates video content based on the acquired material ((5) in FIG. 1). The method for generating video content will be described later.

[0030] The information processing device 1 transmits the generated video content to the distribution server 2 ((6) in FIG. 1). The distribution server 2 stores the acquired video content. The information processing device 1 determines a benefit to be given to the user who posted the material used in the generated content ((7) in FIG. 1). The information terminal 3 transmits a viewing request to the distribution server 2 ((8) in FIG. 1). The viewing request is information requesting the acquisition of video content. The video content acquired from the information processing device 1 is transmitted to the information terminal 3, and the information terminal 3 plays the acquired video content ((9) in FIG. 1).

[0031] By configuring the information processing device 1 in this way, it is expected that an incentive will be given to the user to encourage the user to post materials that make up video content. Note that the information processing device 1 may acquire information posted by the user to an external device as materials.

[0032] [Configuration of information processing device 1] 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of information processing device 1. Information processing device 1 has a communication unit 11, a storage unit 12, and a control unit 13. Control unit 13 has a generation request acquisition unit 131, a material acquisition unit 132, a benefit determination unit 133, a generation unit 134, a reception unit 135, a display control unit 136, and a prediction unit 137.

[0033] The communication unit 11 is a communication interface for transmitting and receiving data to and from other devices via a network. The storage unit 12 is a storage medium including a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), an SSD (Solid State Drive), a hard disk drive, etc. The storage unit 12 stores in advance a program to be executed by the control unit 13.

[0034] The storage unit 12 stores user information in which the user identification information of each of a plurality of users is associated with the attributes of each of the plurality of users. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of the user information stored in the storage unit 12. In the user information, a "user ID" is associated with an "attribute." The "attribute" is information indicating a user's characteristics for identifying the user's preferences. The attributes include, for example, age, gender, occupation, hobbies, interests, etc.

[0035] The storage unit 12 stores material information associated with user identification information for identifying the user who posted the material. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of material information stored in the storage unit 12. Material information is associated with a "material ID," a "posting user ID," a "mode," a "Uniform Resource Identifier (URI)," and "properties." The "material ID" is an ID for identifying the material and is also referred to as material identification information. The "posting user ID" is a user ID indicating the user who posted the material. If the user who posted the material is unknown, the value of the posting user ID is blank. The "mode" indicates the type of data, such as moving image, still image, text, audio, or music. The "URI" is identification information for a resource on the network that should be referenced to obtain the material. Properties are information indicating the characteristics of the material. The "properties" indicate the theme, subject, genre, author, performer, etc. of the material.

[0036] The storage unit 12 stores content information that associates content generated by the generation unit 134, materials applied to the content, and user identification information of the user who posted the materials. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of content information stored in the storage unit 12. In the content information, a "content ID" and a "material" are associated with each other. The "content ID" is an ID for identifying the content. The "material" is one or more materials that make up the content. The "material" includes a "material ID," a "posting user ID," and a "mode" for each material. The "material ID" is the material ID of the material used in the content. The "posting user ID" is a user ID that indicates the user who posted the material. The "mode" indicates the type of data, such as a moving image, a still image, text, audio, or music.

[0037] The content information may further be associated with the extent to which the material was used in the generated content. The "material" in the content information may include "usage time." The "usage time" indicates the amount of time the material was used in the content.

[0038] The storage unit 12 stores template information indicating a template for fitting materials to compose video content. The template information includes the timing at which each material is to be applied to compose video content. The template information may include the timing at which each material is to be applied and the form of the material to be applied at each of the timings.

[0039] The control unit 13 is a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), etc. The control unit 13 executes the programs stored in the storage unit 12 to function as a generation request acquisition unit 131, a material acquisition unit 132, a benefit determination unit 133, a generation unit 134, a reception unit 135, a display control unit 136, and a prediction unit 137.

[0040] The process of generating content by the information processing device 1 will be described with reference to Fig. 6. The generation request acquisition unit 131 acquires a generation request. The material acquisition unit 132 acquires materials to be applied to the content to be generated in response to the generation request. The material acquisition unit 132 acquires user attributes corresponding to the user ID indicated in the generation request. The material acquisition unit 132 references user information and acquires the user attributes.

[0041] The material acquisition unit 132 acquires materials having properties corresponding to the user's attributes. The properties of a material are information indicating the characteristics of the material. The properties of a material indicate the theme, subject, genre, author, performer, etc. of the material. As an example, the storage unit 12 stores a trained model that has learned the relationship between the user's attributes and the properties of material suitable for the user, and identifies the properties of the material corresponding to the user's attributes. In FIG. 6, the material acquisition unit 132 acquires, as materials, image data (material A, material B, and material C) having the properties of "cat" and music data (material D) having the properties of "classical, Chopin, waltz" based on the fact that the target user's "interest" is "cat" and the user's "hobby" is "listening to classical music."

[0042] Note that there may be multiple candidate materials to be applied to each timing in the template. Therefore, the storage unit 12 may store a material selection model, which is a trained model that receives input of the properties of the materials and the user's attributes, such as age and gender, and outputs information indicating the material to be selected by the user. In this case, the material acquisition unit 132 acquires the material output by the material selection model based on the properties of the materials and the user's attributes.

[0043] The generation unit 134 generates content based on the material acquired by the material acquisition unit 132. The generation unit 134 generates content by inserting the material into a location indicated by the template information. The template information shown in FIG. 6 indicates that video content is composed of three image data and music. The template information shown in FIG. 6 also indicates that the image data are displayed sequentially and the music data is played as background music. The information processing device 1 generates video content by applying the image data (material A, material B, and material C) and music data (material D) acquired as materials to the timing (image 1, image 2, image 3, and music 1) in the template. Content information associating the generated content, the material applied to the content, and the user identification information of the user who posted the material is stored in the storage unit 12.

[0044] When content corresponding to the generation request is generated, the benefit determination unit 133 determines a benefit to be granted to a user who posted a material applied to the content. Specifically, the benefit determination unit 133 refers to content information and determines a benefit to be granted to a user who posted a material applied to the content that is associated with the content. As an example, the benefit determination unit 133 grants points in a predetermined point service as a benefit to the user who posted the material associated with the generated content. As an example, the benefit determination unit 133 prorates a predetermined amount of points to be granted when content is generated according to the number of materials associated with the generated content and grants the points to the users who posted each material.

[0045] As an example, the benefits given to the user may be determined based on the type of material used to generate the content.

[0046] The benefit determination unit 133 determines a benefit to be granted to a user who posted a material applied to content, based on the type of material associated in the content information. As an example, the storage unit 12 may store a distribution rate indicating the proportion of the benefit to be distributed for each type of material. As an example, the distribution rates are set to decrease in the order of moving image, still image, music, and text. The generation unit 134 may refer to the distribution rate for each type of material stored in the storage unit 12, determine a distribution rate for each material used in the generated content, and store content information further associated with the distribution rate for the material used in the generated content. The benefit determination unit 133 refers to the content information, and determines a benefit to be granted to each user who posted a material used in the content, based on the distribution rate for each material.

[0047] When multiple users post the same material, the information processing device 1 may be configured to proportionally divide the benefits granted to the users who posted the same material. When multiple user identification information is associated with the same material in the content information, the benefit determination unit 133 determines the benefits to be granted to the multiple users by proportionally dividing the benefits granted to the material among the multiple users identified by the user identification information associated with the material. As an example, when the generation unit 134 generates content, if multiple users post the same material as the material acquired by the material acquisition unit 132, the generation unit 134 stores content information in which the material is associated with the user IDs of the multiple posters. In this case, the generation unit 134 may store the content information by further associating it with a distribution rate set to proportionally divide the benefits allocated to the material among the multiple users who posted the material.

[0048] The information processing device 1 may be configured to acquire, as materials constituting content, only materials that clearly identify the user who posted the material.

[0049] The material acquisition unit 132 acquires materials associated with user identification information in the material information as materials to be applied to content. In other words, the material acquisition unit 132 does not acquire materials that are not associated with a posting user ID in the material information.

[0050] The benefit to be given to the user who provided the material may be determined according to the number of times the content is played.

[0051] The reception unit 135 acquires the number of times the generated content has been played from the distribution server 2. The reception unit 135 may acquire information that associates a content ID with the number of times the content corresponding to the content ID has been played, and store the number of times the content corresponding to the acquired content ID has been played in association with the content information.

[0052] The benefit determination unit 133 refers to the number of plays associated with the content information and identifies the number of times the content has been played. The benefit determination unit 133 determines a benefit to be granted to a user who posted a material applied to the content based on the number of plays of the content. The benefit determination unit 133 may determine a benefit to be granted to a user such that the more times the content is played, the greater the amount of benefit granted to the user. As an example, the benefit determination unit 133 calculates the total amount of points to be granted by multiplying the number of plays by the number of predetermined points granted when the content is played. The benefit determination unit 133 divides the calculated total amount proportionally among the users who posted the material associated with the content in the content information, and determines the amount of points to be granted to each user.

[0053] The information processing device 1 may be configured to receive a rating of the content from a user who has viewed the content, and to determine a benefit based on the rating of the content from the user.

[0054] The receiving unit 135 receives an evaluation of the generated content. The display control unit 136 displays a screen for receiving an evaluation of the content on the information terminal 3 of the user who viewed the content. The user operates the information terminal 3 to evaluate the content. The receiving unit 135 receives the evaluation of the content from the information terminal 3. As an example, the evaluation of the content is expressed as two values, "good" or "bad." The receiving unit 135 stores the received evaluation in the content information.

[0055] The benefit determination unit 133 determines a benefit to be granted to a user who posted a material applied to content based on the rating corresponding to the content. The benefit determination unit 133 determines the benefit to be granted so that the higher the rating of the content, the greater the amount of benefit granted to the user.

[0056] By determining the benefits granted based on the user's rank, it is expected that users will be encouraged to actively post materials, which will invigorate the service.

[0057] The storage unit 12 stores user information that associates user identification information with the rank of the user corresponding to the user identification information. In the user information shown in FIG. 3, a "rank" is further associated. The "rank" indicates the membership rank of the user in the video distribution service determined for the user. The user's rank is determined, for example, based on the amount or frequency of posted materials or the amount, number, or frequency of granted benefits.

[0058] The benefit determination unit 133 determines a benefit to be granted to a user who has posted a material associated with content in the user information, based on the rank of the user. The benefit determination unit 133 determines a benefit to be granted to a user such that the higher the rank of the user who posted the generated material, the greater the amount of points to be granted.

[0059] The benefit determination unit 133 determines a benefit to be granted to a user who posted a material such that the greater the extent to which the material is used in the generated content, the greater the value of the benefit granted to the user. As an example, the benefit determination unit 133 determines points to be granted to each user by proportionally dividing predetermined points that are granted based on the time that the material associated with the generated content in the content information is used. As an example, the benefit determination unit 133 calculates the ratio of the usage time of each material to the total usage time of the materials associated with the content in the content information, and multiplies the calculated ratio by a predetermined amount of points that will be granted when the content is generated, thereby determining the amount of points to be granted to the user who posted each material.

[0060] Configuring the information processing device 1 to display the expected effects of posting material is expected to encourage more proactive posting of material. The reception unit 135 receives material posts from users. As an example, the display control unit 136 displays a posting screen for receiving material posts on the information terminal 3, and the reception unit 135 acquires the material posted on the posting screen. The reception unit 135 stores material information in the storage unit 12, which associates a material ID assigned to the received material with the properties of the material. Note that the reception unit 135 may receive the properties of the material from the user on the posting screen, or may identify the properties of the material by inputting the received material into a trained model that has been trained to analyze the properties of the material.

[0061] The prediction unit 137 predicts likelihood information indicating the likelihood that the material posted by the user will be applied to content. The likelihood information may be expressed as a quantitative score or may be expressed in stages such as "A," "B," or "C." As an example, the storage unit 12 stores a likelihood information prediction model, which is a trained model trained using the material and the degree to which the material has been used in content as training data, and which is trained to output likelihood information when the material is input. The prediction unit 137 inputs the received material into the likelihood information prediction model and identifies the likelihood information. The display control unit 136 displays the likelihood information output by the likelihood information prediction model on the information terminal 3 of the user who posted the material.

[0062] [Processing flow in information processing device 1] Fig. 7 is a flowchart showing the process flow in the information processing device 1. The flowchart shown in Fig. 7 starts from the point in time when a generation request is received.

[0063] The generation request acquisition unit 131 acquires a generation request (S01). The generation request includes the user ID of the target user. The material acquisition unit 132 identifies the attributes of the target user (S02). The material acquisition unit 132 references the user information stored in the storage unit 12 and acquires the user attributes corresponding to the user ID of the target user. The material acquisition unit 132 identifies the properties of the material corresponding to the user attributes (S03).

[0064] The material acquisition unit 132 acquires materials having the specified properties (S04). The material acquisition unit 132 refers to the storage unit 12, determines which materials to acquire from the materials having the specified properties, and acquires the determined materials. The generation unit 134 applies the acquired materials to a template to generate video content (S05). The benefit determination unit 133 determines a benefit to be granted to each user who posted the materials used in the generated content (S06). Then, the information processing device 1 ends the processing.

[0065] [Effects of information processing device 1] As described above, the information processing device 1 is expected to provide users with an incentive to contribute materials that constitute video content.

[0066] Furthermore, this invention will make it possible to contribute to Goal 9 of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which is "Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization, and promote innovation and resilience."
