Furthermore, this embodiment may include various omissions, substitutions, or modifications of components without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0017] [Configuration of the matchmaking support system] First, referring to Figure 1, I will explain the configuration of the matchmaking support system 1.

[0018] Figure 1 is a block diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of a matchmaking support system 1 according to an embodiment. The matchmaking support system 1 comprises a plurality of terminal devices 10 and an information processing device 20. The matchmaking support system 1 may also be simply referred to as the system. The first terminal device 11 and the second terminal device 12 illustrate a plurality of terminal devices 10. In the following description, when the first terminal device 11 and the second terminal device 12 are not distinguished, they may simply be referred to as terminal devices 10.

[0019] Multiple terminal devices 10 and information processing devices 20 are connected to each other via a network NW. The network NW is a predetermined communication network configured using circuits. The network NW is, for example, the internet. The predetermined communication network is an open network, and devices connected to the communication network can communicate with each other using a predetermined protocol.

[0020] The matchmaking support system 1 is used to support user U in finding a partner and engaging in matchmaking activities. For example, user U can use the matchmaking support system 1 to search for a suitable partner or receive introductions to people who are a good match for them. As mentioned above, the matchmaking support system 1 is not limited to use solely for matchmaking; it can be used to support encounters and matching for multiple users U. The matchmaking support system 1 may simply be referred to as "the system."

[0021] User U refers to a user of the matchmaking support system 1. The first user U1 and the second user U2 are examples of multiple users U. In the following description, when the first user U1 and the second user U2 are not distinguished, they may simply be referred to as User U. Furthermore, the following description will assume that the first user U1 is male and the second user U2 is female; however, this embodiment is not limited to this example, and the first user U1 may be female and the second user U2 male, or they may be of the same sex. Note that User U may also be referred to as a user.

[0022] [Terminal device configuration] The terminal device 10 is, for example, an information processing device such as a personal computer, tablet, or smartphone. The terminal device 10 includes, for example, a display unit, a terminal operation unit, a calculation unit, and a storage unit. In the following description, the terminal device 10 operated by the first user U1 may be referred to as the first terminal device 11, and the terminal device 10 operated by the second terminal device 12 may be referred to as the second terminal device 12.

[0023] The display unit of the terminal device 10 is equipped with, for example, a liquid crystal display and displays various images. In the following description, the display of an image by the display unit of the terminal device 10 is also simply referred to as presenting an image to the user U. The terminal operation unit of the terminal device 10 is equipped with, for example, a touch panel and detects the user U's operations. The terminal operation unit of the terminal device 10 may also be an input device such as a keyboard, mouse, and touchpad, or an acquisition unit that acquires signals from these input devices. The arithmetic unit of the terminal device 10 is equipped with a central processing unit (CPU) and operates based on programs and data stored in the memory unit of the terminal device 10, providing various functions.

[0024] User U can operate the terminal device 10 to communicate with the information processing device 20, for example, to set up their own profile, answer questions, or search for someone who meets their preferences.

[0025] [Configuration of the information processing device] The information processing device 20 supports encounters and matching of multiple users U by communicating with each other. The information processing device 20 also controls the content displayed on each terminal device 10 according to the information acquired through information communication. The information processing device 20 comprises an arithmetic unit 21 and a storage unit 22. The arithmetic unit 21 includes a central processing unit (CPU) and operates based on programs and data stored in the storage unit 22, providing various functions. The storage unit 22 is composed of, for example, a hard disk drive or semiconductor memory (flash memory, RAM, ROM), and stores various information such as programs and data read by the arithmetic unit 21. The storage unit 22 may also be implemented by a virtual storage device such as a cloud server located outside the information processing device 20.

[0026] [Overview of the matchmaking support system] Figure 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of the processing flow of the matchmaking support system 1 according to the embodiment. Referring to Figure 2, we will explain the user U's operation flow and some of the behavior of the matchmaking support system 1.

[0027] (Step S101) User U registers with the matchmaking support system 1. When using the matchmaking support system 1 from the app, User U installs the app and registers an account with the matchmaking support system 1. In contrast, when using the matchmaking support system 1 from a browser, User U opens the homepage of the matchmaking support system 1 and registers an account with the matchmaking support system 1.

[0028] (Step S102) User U inputs the information requested by the matchmaking support system 1 by operating the terminal device 10. The information requested by the matchmaking support system 1 may include, for example, information that identifies User U, such as name, telephone number, email address, and address; information that indicates User U's characteristics, such as age, height, weight, occupation, annual income, languages ​​spoken, and body type; and information to be displayed in the profile, such as hobbies, special skills, likes, dislikes, blood type, profile picture, sub-images displayed after the profile picture, and self-introduction text. The information requested by the matchmaking support system 1 may also include, for example, psychological tests or personality assessments to determine User U's way of thinking. User U does not necessarily have to input this information; for example, User U may choose to reuse information registered in other services when registering an account. In the following description, the information requested by the matchmaking support system 1 may be referred to as profile information.

[0029] Furthermore, user U answers any of the multiple questions regarding views on marriage by operating the terminal device 10. The questions regarding views on marriage are user U's subjective opinions and include questions asking about future hopes and thoughts about the future. Thoughts about the future may include, for example, what user U wants to do or plans to do in the future. The questions regarding views on marriage influence, for example, the criteria that user U looks for in a spouse and the degree of happiness in married life.

[0030] (Step S103) The information processing device 20 displays a badge indicating that user U has answered the questions about their views on marriage on their user page (which may also be called their profile). The badge indicating that user U has answered any of the questions may be added to the user page if they have answered any of the questions, or the display may differ depending on the number of questions answered.

[0031] (Step S104) User U views the profiles of other users U to find someone who meets their requirements. The profiles display the profile information entered in Step S101 and the answers to the questions about their views on marriage. The following explanation will use the example of User U 1, who operates the terminal device 10 to view the information of other users U, and User U 2, who is the target of the viewing.

[0032] (Step S105) The information processing device 20 does not display the answers of the second user U2 to questions that the first user U1 has not answered, among the answers to the questions about views on marriage that the first user U1 is viewing. The information processing device 20 may, for example, perform masking such as mosaic on the answers to questions that the first user U1 has not answered.

[0033] (Step S106) If the first user U1 wants to check the results of the second user U2's response, they can answer the questions, for example, by editing their profile on their own user page (My Page).

[0034] (Step S107) After answering the unanswered questions, the first user U1 views the profile of the second user U2. As a result of the first user U1's answers, the profile of the second user U2 viewed by the first user U1 displays the answers of the second user U2, which the first user U1 could not see because the first user U1 had not answered.

[0035] [Functions of the information processing device] Figure 3 is a block diagram illustrating an example of the functional configuration of the information processing device 20 according to the embodiment. The calculation unit 21 of the information processing device 20 includes a profile acquisition unit 211, a selection reception unit 212, a display control unit 213, a response result acquisition unit 214, a similarity calculation unit 215, and a selection unit 216 as its functional units. Each of these functional units does not have to be included in a single device, and the information processing device 20 may be configured from multiple devices. In the following description, the processing performed for user U is a separate process performed for each user U.

[0036] The profile acquisition unit 211 acquires user U's profile information, including user U's profile image MP, based on user U's actions. The profile acquisition unit 211 stores the acquired profile information in the storage unit 22.

[0037] The selection reception unit 212 accepts the selection of one or more categories based on the user U's operation. The questions about views on marriage are classified into multiple categories. User U only needs to answer the questions about views on marriage that belong to the selected category from among all the questions about views on marriage. The selection reception unit 212 outputs information indicating the selected category to the display control unit 213.

[0038] The display control unit 213 controls the content displayed on the terminal device 10 by outputting control information for controlling the display of the terminal device 10 and display information related to the content to be displayed on the terminal device 10. In the following description, controlling the content displayed on the terminal device 10 by outputting control information and display information to the terminal device 10 will also be simply referred to as "displaying on the terminal device 10".

[0039] The display control unit 213 obtains information indicating the selected category from the selection reception unit 212. The display control unit 213 sequentially displays one or more questions about views on marriage belonging to the category selected by user U on the terminal device 10 operated by user U. In other words, the display control unit 213 does not need to display all questions about views on marriage on the terminal device 10; it is sufficient to display at least some of the questions about views on marriage. User U answers the displayed questions about views on marriage by operating the terminal device 10.

[0040] The response result acquisition unit 214 acquires the response results of user U to some or all of the questions regarding views on marriage from the terminal device 10 operated by user U, based on user U's processing. The response result acquisition unit 214 stores the acquired response results of user U in the storage unit 22 for each user U.

[0041] The display control unit 213 obtains the answer results of the first user U1, who is viewing the data, and the answer results of the second user U2, who is the target of the viewing, from the storage unit 22 or the answer result acquisition unit 214. The display control unit 213 also obtains the profile image MP of the first user U1 (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the first profile image MP1) and the profile image MP of the second user U2 (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the second profile image MP2) from the storage unit 22 or the profile acquisition unit 211. The display control unit 213 displays the first profile image MP1 for the option selected by the first user U1 regarding the question about views on marriage, and displays the second profile image MP2 for the option selected by the second user U2.

[0042] Furthermore, the display control unit 213 determines from the user U's response results which questions about views on marriage have been answered by user U (answered questions RQ) and which questions about views on marriage have not been answered by user U (unanswered questions UQ). The display control unit 213 applies a masking process to the second user U2's response results to the unanswered questions UQ that the first user U1 has not answered, thereby preventing the second user U2 from viewing them.

[0043] The similarity calculation unit 215 obtains the response results of each user U from the storage unit 22 or the display control unit 213. Based on the response results of each user U, the similarity calculation unit 215 calculates the similarity between the response results of the first user U1 and each of the other users U. The similarity may be calculated, for example, by the agreement rate of the response results. Alternatively, the similarity may be calculated based on the number of matching response results and the number of response results in which one response result can be matched to the other response result. The similarity calculation unit 215 outputs information about the calculated similarity to the selection unit 216.

[0044] The selection unit 216 obtains information from the similarity calculation unit 215 regarding the similarity of the response results between the first user U1 and each of the other users U. Based on the similarity, the selection unit 216 selects one or a predetermined number of users U whose response results are highly similar to those of the first user U1. For example, the selection unit 216 may select users whose response results are more similar to those of the first user U1 than a predetermined threshold, or it may set users in order of decreasing similarity of their response results. The predetermined number of users and the predetermined threshold may be determined, for example, by the designer of the information processing device 20.

[0045] The display control unit 213 displays information about the selected user U on the terminal device 10 operated by the first user U1. The information about the selected user U may be, for example, profile information such as the selected user U's profile image MP and name.

[0046] Next, we will explain in detail the processing performed by the information processing device 20, referring to Figure 4 and subsequent figures.

[0063] [Second User's Profile] Figure 17 shows the 14th display screen D14 and the 15th display screen D15, which are examples of the first display screens of the profile of the second user U2 viewed by the first user U1 in an embodiment. The 14th display screen D14 shown in Figure 17(A) is the first display screen that is displayed when the profile of the second user U2 is opened. The 14th display screen D14 has a second profile image MP2, a sub-image SP, and a simplified profile BP as its screen configuration.

[0064] The second profile image MP2 is the profile image MP of the second user U2, who is being viewed. For example, the second profile image MP2 might be a photo of user U's face.

[0065] Sub-image SP is an image that a user (U) can set in addition to their profile picture (MP). For example, a photo related to the user's favorite things or hobbies might be set as the sub-image SP.

[0066] The simplified profile BP displays some of the profile information entered by user U. For example, the simplified profile BP may display user U's nickname, whether they are currently using the matchmaking support system 1 (whether the app is open), as well as items that are likely to be criteria that users look for in a marriage partner, such as occupation, annual income, body type, and whether or not they have a certificate of single status.

[0067] The 15th display screen D15 shown in Figure 17(B) is a display screen that is displayed by scrolling Figure 17(A). The 15th display screen D15 has a screen configuration consisting of a common marriage view list display section D151 and a detail display section D152.

[0068] The Common Marriage Views List Display Unit D151 shows the number of common answers and the content of those answers between the answers of the viewing first user U1 and the answer of the viewing second user U2. For example, Figure 17(B) shows that the five options "Have lived alone before," "Contact frequency 2-3 times," "Local / hometown, homeowner, suburbs / countryside," and "No possibility of relocation" are common. In this case, if multiple answers are possible, as in Question 8 Q8, the options that were commonly selected from the multiple choices may be displayed.

[0069] Figure 17(B) shows an example where only common answer results are displayed, but this embodiment is not limited to this example. For example, the profile may display that there is an answer result that matches the preference of one of the users, if the answer result of either the first user U1 or the second user U2 can be matched with the answer result of the other. Two answer results in such a relationship may be referred to as similar answer results. That is, in this embodiment, the profile may display similar answer results in addition to common answer results. The profile may display common answer results and similar answer results separately and independently, or it may display the total number of common answer results and similar answer results, along with the number of options. Furthermore, the profile may display, as similar answer results, the answer result that the first user U1 can match with the second user U2 and the answer result that matches both the first user U1 and the second user U2 separately and independently, or they may be displayed together.

[0070] Similar responses are those in which the responses of the first user U1 and the second user U2 are not diametrically opposed. Specifically, this may include cases where the responses are "I want to do ○○" and "I want to discuss and decide," "I want to prioritize work to the greatest extent possible" and "I prioritize work but also consider my private life," and "I prioritize work but also consider my private life" and "I prioritize my private life but also consider work." Whether or not a response is considered similar may be determined, for example, by the designer of the information processing device 20.

[0071] The detail display unit D152 displays the details of the answer results when it is operated. For example, the detail display unit D152 may display only the details of common answer results, or only the details of answer results similar to common answer results, or it may display the details of both common and non-common answer results. Below, we will explain an example of how the detail display unit D152 can display the details of both common and non-common answer results when it is operated.

[0072] Figure 18 shows the 16th display screen D16, which is an example of a second display screen of the profile of the second user U2 viewed by the first user U1 in an embodiment. The 16th display screen D16 is displayed when the detailed display unit D152 is operated. The 16th display screen D16 has a category selection unit D161, an answer details display unit D162, and an answer screen display unit D163 as its screen configuration.

[0073] When a category selection operation is performed on the category selection unit D161, the category of the response result displayed on the response details display unit D162 is changed. When an operation is performed to select any category in the category selection unit D161, the display control unit 213 displays the details of the response result belonging to the selected category from "Lifestyle," "Work Attitude," "Desired Place of Residence," "Desire for Children," and "Family Views" on the response details display unit D162. In addition, when an operation is performed to select an item in the category selection unit D161, the display control unit 213 displays the details of the common response result on the response details display unit D162. Whether to display only the details of common answer results or the details of both common and similar answer results may be selected, for example, by the designer of the information processing device 20, or by the first user U1 viewing the profile of the second user U2. The answer result acquisition unit 214 may also have an item called "Common Points" that, when selected, displays the details of similar answer results in the answer details display unit D162.

[0074] The answer details display unit D162 displays the details of the answer results for the items selected by the category selection unit D161. Since the category "Lifestyle Habits" is selected in the category selection unit D161 of the 16th display screen D16, the answer details display unit D162 displays the details of the answer results for the 2nd question Q2, the 3rd question Q3, and the 4th question Q4, which belong to the "Lifestyle Habits" category. The content displayed in the answer details display unit D162 may differ between the questions answered by the 2nd user U2 that have already been answered by the 1st user U1 (answered questions RQ) and the questions that have not yet been answered by the 1st user U1 (unanswered questions UQ).

[0075] In the 16th display screen D16, the 2nd question Q2 and the 4th question Q4 are answered questions RQ. In the case of answered questions RQ, the answer details display section D162 displays the answered question RQ, the multiple answer choices for the answered question RQ, information indicating the answer choice made by the 1st user U1, and information indicating the answer choice made by the 2nd user U2. The information indicating the answer choice made by user U is, for example, the profile image MP of user U displayed near the answer choice. For example, the 1st user U1's first profile image MP1 is displayed near the answer choice made by the 1st user U1 among the multiple answer choices for the answered question RQ. Also, the 2nd user U2's second profile image MP2 is displayed near the answer choice made by the 2nd user U2 among the multiple answer choices for the answered question RQ. The vicinity of the answer choice is a position close to the answer choice but not obscuring the text of the answer choice. The "neighborhood" of the selected option may, for example, be a position closer to the selected option than to the other options.

[0076] Regarding the second question Q2, "If you were in a relationship, would you want to contact them frequently?", the answers of the first user U1 and the second user U2 were the same: "I would like to contact them 2-3 times a week." In this case, the display control unit 213 may highlight the options answered by the first user U1 and the second user U2. The display control unit 213 may highlight the options by, for example, changing the font to bold, changing the font color, or surrounding them with a border. The display control unit 213 may also display the first profile image MP1 and the second profile image MP2 of the first user U1 side by side. This makes it easier for the first user U1 to recognize that their answers match those of the second user U2.

[0077] In the 16th display screen D16, the 3rd question Q3 is an unanswered question UQ. In the case of an unanswered question UQ, the answer details display unit D162 displays the unanswered question UQ and the answer mask unit MA. The answer mask unit MA is displayed by the display control unit 213 in such a way that the display position of at least the second profile image MP2, which shows the multiple choices of the unanswered question UQ and the choice answered by the second user U2, cannot be determined. That is, the answer mask unit MA may be displayed in a way that allows the multiple choices of the unanswered question UQ to be determined but the display position of the second profile image MP2 cannot be determined, or it may be displayed in a way that does not allow the multiple choices and the second profile image MP2 to be determined. The answer mask unit MA may be, for example, a mosaic, a fill of a predetermined color, or a predetermined illustration or design. In addition, the answer mask unit MA may have a mark indicating that it will not be displayed, such as a key mark, or it may have content that prompts the first user U1 to answer, such as "By answering yourself, you can also see the other person's answer." By not displaying the answers of the second user U2 for questions that have not been answered, the first user U1 is motivated to answer the questions, thereby encouraging the first user U1 to respond.

[0078] The answer screen display unit D163 is displayed, for example, near the answer mask unit MA or overlapping with the answer mask unit MA. When operated by the first user U1, the answer screen display unit D163 displays content related to the answer screen of a question whose answer result cannot be viewed by the answer mask unit MA. The content related to the answer screen of a question may be the answer screen of the question itself, or it may be content that guides the user to open the answer screen. The answer screen of a question is a screen that displays the question and the answer choices for that question.

[0079] Furthermore, for questions that have not been answered by either the first user U1 or the second user U2, the same display content as for unanswered question UQ may be used, or they may not be displayed in the answer details display unit D162. Also, for questions answered by the first user U1 but not answered by the second user U2, they may not be displayed in the answer details display unit D162.

[0080] [Answers to unanswered questions] Referring to Figure 19, an example of the content displayed by operating the answer screen display unit D163 will be explained. Figure 19 shows the 17th display screen D17 and the 18th display screen D18, which are examples of display screens that are displayed when the answer screen display unit D163 according to the embodiment is operated. The 17th display screen D17 shown in Figure 19(A) displays a list of questions in the profile editing screen of the first user U1. The 18th display screen D18 shown in Figure 19(B) displays the continuation of the list of questions in the profile editing screen of the first user U1, which is displayed by scrolling the 17th display screen D17.

[0081] When the answer screen display unit D163 is operated, the display control unit 213 displays the list of questions shown on the 17th display screen D17 and the 18th display screen D18. The display control unit 213 also scrolls the display screen to the position of the question in the list of questions for which the answer result was not displayed by the answer mask unit MA. Specifically, when the answer screen display unit D163 of the 16th display screen D16 is operated by the first user U1, the display control unit 213 may display the profile editing screen and then transition the screen to the position of the 3rd question Q3 at the bottom of the 17th display screen D17. If the user U selects an item for which the 3rd question Q3 is displayed, the display control unit 213 may display the answer screen for the 3rd question Q3. User U answers the questions by operating the terminal device 10.

[0082] If user U, who has operated the answer screen display unit D163, answers an unanswered question UQ, the display control unit 213 displays the answered question, the answer result of the first user U1 for the answered question, and the answer result of the second user U2 for the answered question. For example, the display control unit 213 may transition to the display screen that was displayed before the answer screen display unit D163 was operated.

[0083] Figure 20 shows the 19th display screen D19, which is an example of a display screen that appears after operating the answer screen display unit D163 according to the embodiment and then answering the unanswered question UQ. The 19th display screen D19 differs from the 16th display screen D16 before operating the answer screen display unit D163 in that the answer mask unit MA for the third question Q3 is not displayed, and the third choice candidate CO3, the answer result of the first user U1, and the answer result of the second user U2 are displayed. Note that when the answer mask unit MA for the third question Q3 disappears after the first user U1 answers, and the answer results of the first user U1 and the second user U2 for the third question Q3 are displayed, the display control unit 213 may perform a special effect by displaying a predetermined message. The effects could include, for example, "a key is released and the answer is revealed," "the MA on the answer mask area sparkles and then gradually fades to reveal the answer," or "the MA on the answer mask area glows white, then the light is dimmed to reveal the answer," or any other effect that emphasizes that the answer is now viewable.

[0084] In the above description, one example is shown in which the display control unit 213 displays a list of questions and then displays the answer screen for the unanswered question UQ when the answer screen display unit D163 is operated. However, this embodiment is not limited to this example. The display control unit 213 may also directly display the answer screen for questions whose answer results were not displayed by the answer mask unit MA when the answer screen display unit D163 is operated. For example, the display control unit 213 may display the answer screen as a callout overlaid on the 16th display screen D16, or it may transition directly to the answer screen.

[0085] [Introduction of people with a high similarity to their answer results] Figure 21 shows a 20th display screen D20, which is an example of a display screen that introduces other users U who have similar views on marriage to user U in an embodiment. The 20th display screen D20 is a display screen in which the information processing device 20 presents multiple people who have a high degree of similarity to user U in their response results, in order to make it easier for user U to find a partner with whom they are likely to get married. The 20th display screen D20 may be called, for example, "Today's Picks".

[0086] The 20th display screen D20 has a screen configuration consisting of a second profile image MP2, a simplified profile BP, a similarity display unit D201, a "Like" button D202, and a next candidate button D203. The second profile image MP2 and the simplified profile BP are examples of information about the presented user U.

[0087] The similarity display unit D201 displays information indicating that the responses of user U and other users U selected to be presented to user U are similar. For example, the similarity display unit D201 may display similarity, such as "You match 3 of your partner's preferences," indicating the matching rate or number of matches in the response results, or it may display information indicating a high degree of similarity, such as "Your views on marriage are a good match." This allows user U viewing the 20th display screen D20 to easily understand that the presented user U has a similar view on marriage to their own.

[0088] The "Like" button D202, when operated by User U, is a button that prompts User U to send information indicating interest, such as "Like!", to the other User U who has been presented with it. For example, if User U receives a "Like!", they can send back information indicating interest, such as "Thanks for the Like!", resulting in a successful match. If the match is successful, both User U who sent the "Like!" and User U who sent the "Thanks for the Like!" can proceed to exchange messages, etc.

[0089] The next candidate button D203 is a button that, when operated by user U, displays information about user U, who is the next candidate to be presented. User U might operate the next candidate button D203, for example, if they are presented with someone they are not interested in.

[0090] In the above description, the processing of the information processing device 20 was explained using the case where a question about views on marriage is used as an example. However, this embodiment is not limited to this example. The information processing device 20 may also acquire and display the results of answers to questions related to the profile. Questions related to the profile are, for example, questions that ask for information used when creating User U's profile, and may include, for example, questions about User U's values ​​or questions that ask for information about User U himself. Questions about User U's values ​​may include, for example, questions about views on marriage, which are future thoughts, as well as questions that ask about current thoughts and judgment criteria, which are the values ​​that User U uses to judge things. Questions that ask for information about User U himself may include, for example, questions that ask about things that User U wants to highlight or that serve as criteria for evaluating User U, such as educational background, career or work history, or annual income, or questions that ask about things that can become topics of conversation, such as place of origin, place of residence, hobbies, likes, dislikes, or a free-form self-introduction. In other words, the information processing device 20 may be used for purposes other than matchmaking, for example, to support the meeting and matching of two or more users U, such as ride-sharing matching. When the information processing device 20 is used for ride-sharing matching, the profile questions may include questions about the user's values ​​regarding driving, for example, questions about the volume and genre of music they play while driving.

[0091] [Summary of Embodiments] According to the embodiment described above, the information processing device 20 includes: an answer result acquisition unit 214 that acquires the user's answer results to one or more questions relating to the user U's profile, which have multiple options, for each of a plurality of users U, including a first user U1 and a second user U2; a profile acquisition unit 211 that acquires the user U's profile image MP based on the user U's operations for each user U; and a display control unit 213 that displays the answer results of the first user U1 and the second user by displaying the first profile image MP1 of the first user U1 in the vicinity of the option answered by the first user U1 from among the multiple options for any of the questions, and displaying the second profile image MP2 of the second user U2 in the vicinity of the option answered by the second user U2 from among the multiple options for any of the questions. According to the information processing device 20 according to the embodiment, user U can easily grasp the differences between their own values ​​and the values ​​of others. As a result, user U can easily find someone who suits their wishes, using as a criterion the areas where their values ​​match and areas where their values ​​do not match.

[0092] Furthermore, according to the above-described embodiment, the display control unit 213 displays the answer results of the first user U1 and the second user U2 for questions among the multiple questions in which the answer results of the first user U1 and the second user U2 match. With the information processing device 20 that displays the answer results for questions in which the answer results match, user U can easily grasp the number of values ​​that match the other person's values ​​and the content of the matching values. For example, user U can roughly grasp the compatibility with the other person by referring to the number of matching values, and can grasp specifically where they match by referring to the content of the matching answer results.

[0093] Furthermore, according to the embodiment described above, the display control unit 213 displays the answer results of both the first user U1 and the second user U2 for questions answered by both the first user U1 and the second user U2. In other words, the display control unit 213 also displays results where the values ​​do not match. Differences in values ​​do not necessarily mean that the users are incompatible. For example, if the values ​​of one user U are similar to those of the other user U, they can be considered compatible. Also, even if the values ​​do not match, one user U can adjust their thinking in that area. With the information processing device 20 that displays both matching and non-matching answer results, user U can determine whether someone is a suitable match if their values ​​are slightly aligned. Note that the question about views on marriage is prone to fluctuations in answer results because it asks for specific thoughts about the future. With the information processing device 20 that displays results other than matching answer results, it is possible to display many results even for users U with few matching answer results.

[0094] Furthermore, according to the above-described embodiment, the multiple questions are classified into multiple categories, and the system further includes a selection reception unit 212 that accepts the selection of one or more categories based on the operation of user U. The display control unit 213 displays the questions belonging to the selected category on the terminal device 10 operated by user U, and the answer result acquisition unit 214 acquires the answer results for the questions belonging to the selected category. In other words, according to the above-described information processing device 20, user U does not necessarily have to answer all questions. When user U registers with the matchmaking support system 1, user U inputs a large amount of information. Questions about views on marriage, etc., are displayed after that information has been input. Therefore, if user U is required to answer all questions about views on marriage at this stage, it may lead to user U dropping out. By allowing user U to select the category of questions to answer, user U dropout can be suppressed.

[0095] Furthermore, according to the embodiment described above, the system includes a similarity calculation unit 215 that calculates the similarity between the response results of a second user U2 and the response results of all users U except the first user U1, based on the response results of each of the multiple users U. The display control unit 213 displays information about the users U selected based on the similarity on the first terminal device 11 operated by the first user U1. Because the number of users U registered in the matchmaking support system 1 is enormous, it may be difficult for the first user U1 to find someone who meets their expectations immediately. In such cases, the information processing device 20 selects and introduces people who share the same values ​​as the first user U1, making it easier for the first user U1 to find someone who meets their expectations.

[0096] Furthermore, according to the above-described embodiment, the information processing device 20 includes an answer result acquisition unit 214 that acquires the answer results of users U to one or more questions having multiple choices for each of a plurality of users U, including a first user U1 and a second user U2, and a display control unit 213 that displays at least a portion of the answer results of the second user U2 on a first terminal device 11 operated by the first user U1. The display control unit 213 displays the answered question RQ and the answer result of the second user U2 for the answered question RQ, which has been answered by the first user U1, among the questions answered by the second user U2, and displays the unanswered question UQ, which has been answered by the second user U2 but has not been answered by the first user U1, and does not display the answer result of the second user U2 for the unanswered question UQ. If answering a question is optional, there may be users U who do not answer the question. In this case, it is difficult for service users to grasp the profile and answer results of the user in question, and it is difficult to determine whether the user is a suitable match. By not displaying the answer results for questions that the user has not answered, it is possible to encourage user U to answer the questions in order to view the answer results. Furthermore, there is an opinion that questions about values, especially questions about views on marriage, are internal matters and users do not want their answer results to be freely viewed. By imposing a restriction that only the answer results for questions that have been answered can be viewed, it is possible to prevent users from viewing the answer results out of curiosity.

[0097] Furthermore, according to the above-described embodiment, the display control unit 213 displays the answer screen display unit D163, which displays the content related to the answer screen of the unanswered question UQ when operated, in a position near the multiple choices provided by the unanswered question UQ or in a position that overlaps with the choices. As a result, the first user U1 can easily answer if they want to see the answer results of the second user U2, thus promoting the answering process.

[0098] Furthermore, according to the embodiment described above, when the answer screen display unit D163 is operated, the display control unit 213 displays a list of multiple questions and transitions the display screen to the position of the unanswered question UQ displayed on the answer screen display unit D163 within the question list. By automatically transitioning to the answer screen of the desired question, the user U can easily understand how to operate to answer the other unanswered questions UQ. Also, by displaying the question list, the user can be made aware of the existence of other unanswered questions UQ and encouraged to answer them.

[0099] Furthermore, according to the above-described embodiment, the display control unit 213 displays the answer screen for the unanswered question UQ when the answer screen display unit D163 is operated. When the answer screen is displayed immediately, user U can easily answer. The information processing device 20 according to the embodiment can reduce the effort required to answer and encourage answering.

[0100] Furthermore, according to the embodiment described above, when the first user U1 answers an unanswered question UQ, the display control unit 213 displays the answered question, the answer result of the first user U1 for the answered question, and the answer result of the second user U2 for the answered question. For example, when the first user U1 answers a question from the answer screen display unit D163, the display control unit 213 displays the screen that was displayed before the operation of the answer screen display unit D163, and where the answer result is disclosed. The first user U1 operates the answer screen display unit D163 and answers in order to see the answer result of the second user U2. By displaying the answer result of the second user U2 after the answer is given, the effort required of the first user U1 to answer is reduced, and the barrier to answering can be lowered.

[0101] Furthermore, according to the above-described embodiment, when the display control unit 213 displays the answer result of the second user U2, which was not displayed, because the first user U1 has answered an unanswered question UQ, it performs a predetermined animation. By performing an animation when an answer is given, the user U can be entertained and answering the questions will not become a monotonous task.

[0102] The functions of the information processing device 20 may be implemented using electronic circuits as needed. Furthermore, the functional units that implement these functions do not necessarily have to be contained within a single device; the information processing device 20 may be composed of multiple devices. At least some of the functions of the information processing device 20 can be implemented using a computer. This computer consists of a central processing unit, RAM, input / output ports, input / output devices, a bus, etc. The computer itself can be implemented using existing technologies. The central processing unit executes instructions contained in programs read from RAM, etc. According to each instruction, the central processing unit writes data to RAM, reads data from RAM, and performs arithmetic and logical operations. RAM stores data and programs. Each element in RAM has an address and can be accessed using that address. RAM stands for "Random Access Memory." Input / output ports are ports for the central processing unit to exchange data with external input / output devices, etc. Input / output devices exchange data with the central processing unit via input / output ports. A bus is a common communication path used within a computer. For example, the central processing unit reads and writes data to RAM via the bus. Furthermore, for example, the central processing unit accesses input / output ports via a bus. Also, all or part of the functional units of the information processing unit 20 may be implemented using hardware such as ASICs, PLDs, or FPGAs. Additionally, all or part of each functional unit may be implemented through a combination of software and hardware.

[0103] Furthermore, the entirety or a part thereof of the functions of each part of the information processing device 20 in the above-described embodiment may be realized by recording a program for realizing these functions on a computer-readable recording medium, having a computer system read the program recorded on this recording medium, and executing it. The term "computer system" here includes hardware such as an operating system and peripheral devices.

[0104] Furthermore, "computer-readable recording media" refers to portable media such as flexible disks, magneto-optical disks, ROMs, and CD-ROMs, as well as recording units such as hard disks built into computer systems. In addition, "computer-readable recording media" may include those that dynamically hold programs for a short period of time, such as communication lines used when transmitting programs over networks such as the Internet or communication lines such as telephone lines, and those that hold programs for a certain period of time, such as volatile memory inside computer systems that act as servers or clients in such cases. Moreover, the above-mentioned program may be for the purpose of realizing some of the functions described above, and may also be able to realize the above-mentioned functions in combination with programs already recorded in the computer system.

[0105] Although one embodiment of this invention has been described in detail above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to that described above, and various design changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this invention. Furthermore, the configurations described in each embodiment and example above may be combined. [Explanation of Symbols]
