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

[0002] There is known a system that allows bettors to use a mobile terminal to place bets in various sports where betting is required, such as bicycle racing, horse racing, or boat racing. Patent Document 1 discloses a system that allows bettors to purchase betting tickets using a mobile terminal. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-114487 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In recent years, various ancillary services have been provided in addition to voting services where voting tickets are purchased (hereinafter simply referred to as "voting"). For example, ancillary services include a distribution service that distributes videos related to sports, and voters can vote based on the predictions of the performers appearing in the videos they have watched.

[0005] In streaming services, the number of videos distributed may vary depending on the sport, or no videos may be distributed at all. In this case, if the number of videos distributed is small, users may feel that the sport is not attracting attention, and may hesitate to vote for such a sport. Therefore, it is necessary to make users aware that the sport is attracting attention regardless of the number of videos distributed.

[0006] The present invention has been made in consideration of these points, and aims to make it easier for users to feel that a competition is attracting attention. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] An information processing device according to one aspect of the present invention has an acquisition unit that acquires data on distributed videos related to a competition and prediction information indicating a user's predictions regarding the outcome of the competition, and a display control unit that controls the number of pieces of prediction information to be displayed on a display screen for displaying at least one of the distributed videos and the prediction information based on the number of the distributed videos to be displayed on the display screen. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] According to the present invention, it is possible to make users feel that the competition is attracting attention. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0010] <System configuration> Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the system configuration of an information processing system 1 according to this embodiment. The information processing system 1 shown in Fig. 1 includes a management device 10 and one or more information processing devices 20. The management device 10 and the information processing devices 20 are connected to each other so as to be able to communicate with each other via a network N such as the Internet, an intranet, a wireless LAN (Local Area Network), or a mobile communication network.

[0011] The management device 10 is a device used to manage a voting service that accepts votes for possible competition outcomes in a competition in which multiple competition objects participate, i.e., votes for the competition object predicted to win the competition. Competitions include, for example, bicycle racing, auto racing, horse racing, boat racing, soccer, tennis, or electronic sports. Competition objects include, for example, athletes, competition vehicles, racehorses, or competition teams. The target of the bet is an object for which a user bets a predetermined value, and is determined by combining the competition object predicted to win by the user from among multiple competition objects (including athletes, competition vehicles, or animals) that are candidates for the bet object, with a betting method (voting method).

[0012] The voting service provides various services in addition to accepting votes. For example, the voting service provides a service for distributing streaming videos related to competitions. The streaming videos distributed by the voting service are, for example, videos distributed in real time from a studio, and may show performers appearing in the videos predicting the results of the competition, or videos that provide information for predicting the results of the competition. The streaming videos distributed by the voting service may also be videos of live broadcasts of competitions.

[0013] Furthermore, for example, a voting service provides a service that makes the contents of votes public, allowing users to vote while taking into consideration the contents of votes cast by other users.

[0014] The management device 10 is configured, for example, from one or more physical servers. The management device 10 may be configured using a virtual server that operates on a hypervisor, or may be configured using a cloud server.

[0015] The information processing device 20 is a device used by a user, such as a mobile phone (including a smartphone), a tablet terminal, or a personal computer. For example, a dedicated application program (hereinafter referred to as a "dedicated app") for providing a voting service to users is installed in the information processing device 20. Via the dedicated app, users can vote for voting targets, watch distributed videos, and view the contents of votes cast by other users.

[0016] When the information processing device 20 receives an operation to start the dedicated app, it displays a display screen for the voting service. The display screen is a display screen for displaying at least one of a streaming video related to a competition and prediction information showing predictions made by other users about the competition. The prediction information is information showing the voting targets for which the other users themselves wish to vote. The prediction information may include predicted odds along with the voting targets.

[0017] The information processing device 20 controls the number of pieces of predicted information to be displayed on the display screen based on the number of distributed videos to be displayed on the display screen. For example, the more the number of distributed videos on the display screen, the fewer pieces of predicted information the information processing device 20 displays, and vice versa.

[0018] The information processing system 1 has such a feature, which can reduce the variation in the amount of information displayed on the display screen between when there are a large number of streaming videos and when there are a small number of streaming videos. This allows the information processing system 1 to display a large amount of information for a sport with a small number of streaming videos displayed on the display screen. As a result, the information processing system 1 can make the user feel that the sport for which streaming videos are displayed is a sport that is attracting attention, regardless of the number of streaming videos. The configurations and operations of the management device 10 and the information processing device 20 will be described in detail below.

[0019] <Hardware configuration> 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of the hardware configuration of the management device 10. The management device 10 includes a processor 11, a storage unit 12, a communication IF (Interface) 13, an input device 14, and an output device 15.

[0020] The processor 11 is, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or a GPU (Graphical Processing Unit). The storage unit 12 is a processing unit (CPU) that executes programs stored in the storage unit 12 to realize various functions.

[0021] The storage unit 12 has a storage medium such as a memory, a hard disk drive (HDD), or a solid state drive (SSD). The storage unit 12 stores a program executed by the processor 11. The storage unit 12 also stores users' predictions regarding voting targets in association with user IDs.

[0022] The communication IF 13 has a communication controller for performing wired communication or wireless communication with the information processing device 20 via the network N. The communication IF 13 notifies the processor 11 of data received from the information processing device 20. The communication IF 13 also transmits data input from the processor 11 to the information processing device 20.

[0023] The input device 14 receives input operations from, for example, an administrator of the management device 10. The input device 14 is, for example, a keyboard, a touch panel, a mouse, or a microphone. The output device 15 outputs information to, for example, the administrator of the management device 10. The output device 15 is, for example, a display, a speaker, or the like.

[0024] 3 is a diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of the information processing device 20. The information processing device 20 includes a processor 21, a storage unit 22, a communication IF 23, an input device 24, and an output device 25.

[0025] The processor 21 is, for example, a CPU, and executes programs stored in the storage unit 22 to realize various functions.

[0026] The storage unit 22 has storage media such as a read-only memory (ROM) and a random access memory (RAM), etc. The storage unit 22 stores the programs that the processor 21 executes.

[0027] The communication IF 23 has a communication controller for performing wired or wireless communication with the management device 10 via the network N. The communication IF 23 notifies the processor 21 of data received from the management device 10. The communication IF 23 also transmits data input from the processor 21 to the management device 10.

[0028] The input device 24 receives input operations from, for example, a user. The input device 24 is, for example, a keyboard, a touch panel, a mouse, or a microphone. The output device 25 is, for example, a display unit and an audio output unit that output information to the user. The output device 25 is, for example, a display or a speaker.

[0029] <Function block configuration> 4 is a diagram showing an example of a functional block configuration of the processor 21. The processor 21 has a reception unit 211, an acquisition unit 212, a display control unit 213, and a transmission unit 214. The processor 21 functions as the reception unit 211, the acquisition unit 212, the display control unit 213, and the transmission unit 214 by executing a program stored in the storage unit 22.

[0030] The reception unit 211 receives user operations. For example, the reception unit 211 receives votes for a competition. The acquisition unit 212 acquires, from the management device 10, video data of a distributed video related to the competition and prediction information indicating the user's prediction for the result of the competition. The video data of the distributed video may include performer prediction information indicating the user's prediction for the performers who will appear in the distributed video. For example, when the reception unit 211 receives a display operation to display a display screen for the voting service, the acquisition unit 212 acquires, from the management device 10, at least one of video data corresponding to the competition to be displayed on the display screen and prediction information corresponding to the competition.

[0031] The display control unit 213 controls the number of pieces of predicted information to be displayed on the display screen based on the number of distributed videos to be displayed on the display screen. Specifically, the display control unit 213 controls the number of pieces of predicted information acquired by the acquisition unit 212 based on the number of video data acquired by the acquisition unit 212.

[0032] 5A and 5B are diagrams showing the home screen that is first displayed when the dedicated app is launched. As shown in Fig. 5A, the home screen displays a list M of streaming videos related to a certain race (for example, the 6th race at Keiokaku Keirin) and a list F of prediction information related to the race.

[0033] For example, the display control unit 213 displays fewer pieces of prediction information as the number of streaming videos displayed on the display screen increases, and displays more pieces of prediction information as the number of streaming videos displayed on the display screen decreases. As shown in FIG. 5(b), when the number of streaming videos displayed on the display screen is equal to or greater than a reference number, the display control unit 213 displays a list of streaming videos M without displaying a list of prediction information F. The reference number is a number determined by the ratio between the screen area required to display one streaming video and the display area of ​​the information processing device 20, and is, for example, 2 or 3. By operating the display control unit 213 in this manner, when there are so many streaming videos that a user feels that the sport corresponding to the streaming video is attracting attention, it is possible to prevent a large amount of information from being displayed, making the screen difficult to view.

[0034] 5(c), when the number of streaming videos displayed on the display screen is less than the reference number (for example, when there are no streaming videos), the display control unit 213 does not display the list of streaming videos M, but displays the list of prediction information F. By operating the display control unit 213 in this manner, even if the sport corresponding to the streaming videos has a small number of streaming videos, it is possible to make the user feel that the sport is attracting attention.

[0035] For example, when the user performs an operation to view a selected distribution video in the list M of distribution videos shown in Fig. 5(a) (for example, an operation of tapping on an area where the distribution video is displayed), the display control unit 213 displays a video viewing screen for viewing the selected distribution video. Also, when the user performs an operation to view details of the prediction information selected in the list F of prediction information shown in Fig. 5(a) (for example, an operation of tapping on an area where the prediction information is displayed), the display control unit 213 displays a prediction display screen for displaying details of the selected prediction information.

[0036] Here, the acceptance unit 211 may accept votes for a race based on the prediction information displayed on the prediction display screen. "Voting for a race based on prediction information" means voting for a target that other users predict to be highly worthy of voting. Specifically, the acceptance unit 211 accepts votes for a race based on any of one or more pieces of prediction information displayed on the display screen.

[0037] FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a display screen on which prediction information is displayed. The display screen shown in FIG. 6 is a prediction display screen for displaying details of prediction information selected by a user from one or more pieces of prediction information displayed on the home screen. As shown in FIG. 6, the prediction display screen displays predictions of other users and a button B1 for voting on the competition. For example, when a user performs an operation of pressing button B1, the acceptance unit 211 accepts votes for the competition based on prediction information indicating predictions of other users. By operating the acceptance unit 211 in this manner, voting can be easily performed.

[0038] Furthermore, the reception unit 211 may accept votes for a competition based on predicted performer information. For example, when a user performs an operation to select one streaming video from one or more streaming videos displayed on the home screen, the display control unit 213 displays a video viewing screen for displaying (playing) the selected streaming video. Although not shown, the video viewing screen is provided with a button for voting based on predicted performer information, and when the user performs an operation to press the button, the reception unit 211 accepts votes for a competition based on predicted performer information indicating predicted performers of the streaming video. By operating the reception unit 211 in this manner, voting can be easily performed.

[0039] The display control unit 213 may control the number of pieces of prediction information to be displayed on the display screen using a predetermined threshold. The predetermined threshold is, for example, set in advance in the information processing device 20. Specifically, when the number of distributed videos is less than the predetermined threshold, the display control unit 213 displays at least one piece of prediction information on the display screen, and when the number of distributed videos is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold, the display control unit 213 displays at least one piece of distribution video on the display screen.

[0040] When the number of distributed videos is less than a predetermined threshold, the display control unit 213 displays more pieces of forecast information on the display screen than when the number of distributed videos is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold. As an example, when the number of distributed videos is less than the predetermined threshold, the display control unit 213 displays on the display screen a number of pieces of forecast information corresponding to the difference between the number of distributed videos and the numerical value indicated by the predetermined threshold.

[0041] FIG. 7 is a diagram showing areas on the display screen where streaming videos or predicted information are displayed. The home screen shown in FIG. 7 has three display areas R1, R2, and R3. For example, assume that the threshold set in the information processing device 20 is three and the number of video data acquired by the acquisition unit 212 is two. In this case, the display control unit 213 displays streaming videos in each of the display areas R1 and R2, and displays one piece of predicted information in the display area R3. Note that the number of predicted information displayed in the display area R3 is not limited to one, and the display control unit 213 may display multiple pieces of predicted information in the display area R3. By operating in this manner, the display control unit 213 can make the user feel that the competition is attracting attention, even when the number of streaming videos is small.

[0042] When the number of streaming videos is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, the display control unit 213 may display a display screen in a manner that allows switching between a screen displaying multiple streaming videos and a screen displaying multiple pieces of forecast information. Figure 8 is a diagram showing a display screen that allows switching between a streaming video screen and a forecast information display screen. The display screen shown in Figure 8(a) is a home screen.

[0043] As shown in FIG. 8(a), when the number of distributed videos is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, the display control unit 213 displays a list M of distributed videos and a button B2 for displaying prediction information on the home screen. When the user presses the button B2, the display control unit 213 8(b) displays a display screen as shown in FIG. 8(b). The display screen shown in FIG. 8(b) is a prediction list screen that displays a list of prediction information, and multiple pieces of prediction information are displayed. By operating the display control unit 213 in this manner, it is possible to prevent the display screen from becoming difficult to see due to simultaneous display of streaming videos and prediction information. Note that, when the number of streaming videos is less than a predetermined threshold, the display control unit 213 may not display the display screen in a manner that allows switching between a screen that displays multiple streaming videos and a screen that displays multiple pieces of prediction information, but may display the streaming videos and prediction information simultaneously.

[0044] The display control unit 213 may display prediction information according to the number of votes based on the prediction information. Specifically, the display control unit 213 prioritizes, among a plurality of pieces of prediction information, prediction information that has a relatively large number of votes based on the prediction information and displays it on the display screen. For example, the display control unit 213 displays as many pieces of prediction information as can be displayed on the display screen in descending order of the number of votes based on the prediction information. By the display control unit 213 operating in this manner, it becomes easier for the user to view prediction information that is attracting attention.

[0045] The display control unit 213 may determine the priority order for displaying multiple streaming videos depending on the period during which votes based on the performer prediction information can be accepted. The period during which a streaming video is distributed includes an acceptance period during which votes based on the performer prediction information corresponding to the streaming video can be accepted, and an unacceptable period during which votes based on the performer prediction information corresponding to the streaming video cannot be accepted. The acceptance period may be a period that fulfills at least one of the periods after the performer predictions are made (after the acquisition unit 212 acquires video data including the performer prediction information) and the period from when vote acceptance for the competition begins to when it closes, and the unacceptable period may be a period other than the acceptance period. In this case, the display control unit 213 displays on the display screen streaming videos for which the current time falls within the acceptance period over streaming videos for which the current time falls within the unacceptable period.

[0046] For example, the display control unit 213 displays streaming videos for which the current time falls within a voting acceptance period at the top, and streaming videos for which the current time falls within a voting acceptance period at the bottom. By operating in this manner, the display control unit 213 allows the user to preferentially watch streaming videos related to competitions for which voting is available. Note that the display control unit 213 may hide streaming videos for which the current time falls within a voting acceptance period. The display control unit 213 may display, together with the streaming video, information for identifying whether voting for the competition corresponding to the streaming video is in a voting acceptance period or a voting acceptance period (for example, "Voting is currently being accepted," "Voting is not currently being accepted," etc.).

[0047] The display control unit 213 may display on the display screen, with priority given to distribution videos whose current time falls within an acceptable period over predicted information, and may display predicted information on the display screen with priority given to distribution videos whose current time falls within an unacceptable period. In the example shown in FIG. 7 , if the acquisition unit 212 acquires three pieces of video data and the current time falls within an acceptable period for all of them, the display control unit 213 displays the distribution videos in each of the display areas R1, R2, and R3. For example, if the acquisition unit 212 acquires three pieces of video data and the current time falls within an unacceptable period for all of them, the display control unit 213 displays predicted information in each of the display areas R1, R2, and R3. For example, if the acquisition unit 212 acquires two pieces of video data and the first video data is in an acceptable period and the second video data is in an unacceptable period, the display control unit 213 displays the first distribution video data in the display area R1, the predicted information in the display area R2, and the second distribution video data in the display area R3.

[0048] By operating the display control unit 213 in this manner, the user can preferentially view information about events for which voting is available immediately, making it easier for the user to vote. Note that the acceptance period may be a period during which votes for the event corresponding to the distributed video are accepted, and the non-acceptance period may be a period during which votes for the event corresponding to the distributed video are not accepted.

[0049] <How forecast information is published> The display control unit 213 may display on the display screen the prediction information that is set to be made public to other users. A method for making prediction information public will be described below.

[0050] The display control unit 213 displays a setting screen for a user to register prediction information to be made public to other users. Specifically, after accepting votes for a competition from users, the display control unit 213 causes the output device 25 to display a setting screen for setting whether or not to make the contents of the vote public.

[0051] Fig. 9 is a diagram showing a schematic diagram of a setting screen. The setting screen shown in Fig. 9 is a screen that is displayed after a user has voted for a competition, and is a screen for setting whether or not to make the vote public. As shown in Fig. 9, the setting screen displays multiple voting details and buttons B3 and B4 for instructing the disclosure of the voting details. In the example shown in Fig. 9, a button for instructing the disclosure of each voting detail is provided, but this is not limiting, and one button for instructing the disclosure of all voting details may be provided.

[0052] 9, when a user presses button B3, the receiving unit 211 receives a disclosure instruction to make public the voting details corresponding to button B3. When the receiving unit 211 receives the disclosure instruction, the transmitting unit 214 associates disclosure instruction information indicating that the disclosure instruction has been received with prediction information indicating the voting details corresponding to the disclosure instruction, and transmits the association information to the management device 10.

[0053] Thereafter, the acquisition unit 212 acquires the prediction information associated with the disclosure instruction information from the management device 10. Then, the display control unit 213 displays the prediction information acquired by the acquisition unit 212, i.e., the prediction information corresponding to the vote for which the disclosure instruction has been accepted, on the home screen. By operating in this manner, the display control unit 213 prevents the contents of the vote that the user does not want to be made public from being made public, thereby ensuring the privacy of the user regarding the contents of the vote.

[0054] <Processing flow of processor 21> Fig. 10 is a flowchart showing the processing flow of the processor 21. The flowchart shown in Fig. 10 starts when the reception unit 211 receives a display operation for displaying the display screen of the voting service (S11). The acquisition unit 212 acquires video data corresponding to the event to be displayed on the display screen and prediction information corresponding to the event from the management device 10 (S12).

[0055] The display control unit 213 controls the number of pieces of prediction information to be displayed on the display screen based on the number of streaming videos to be displayed on the display screen. The display control unit 213 determines whether the number of streaming videos indicated by the video data acquired by the acquisition unit 212 is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold (S13). When the display control unit 213 determines that the number of streaming videos is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold (YES in S13), it displays the streaming videos on the display screen (S14).

[0056] On the other hand, if the display control unit 213 determines that the number of distributed videos is less than the predetermined threshold (NO in S13), it displays more prediction information on the display screen than when the number of distributed videos is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold (S15).

[0057] <Effects of the information processing device 20> As described above, the information processing device 20 controls the number of prediction information items to be displayed on the display screen based on the number of streaming videos to be displayed on the display screen. This feature of the information processing device 20 makes it possible to reduce the variation in the amount of information displayed on the display screen between a case where the number of streaming videos is large and a case where the number of streaming videos is small. This allows the information processing device 20 to more easily make the user feel that a sport is attracting attention, regardless of the number of streaming videos. In particular, by displaying more prediction information items for a sport with a small number of streaming videos to be displayed on the display screen, the information processing device 20 can more easily make the user feel that a sport with a small number of streaming videos is attracting attention.
