[Figure 9] This diagram shows the flow of generating matching result information and generating and notifying recommendation information. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0025] The artist voting device and artist voting program according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to Figures 1 to 9.

[0026] <Overall configuration of the artist voting system> The artist voting device 1 according to this embodiment, shown in Figure 1, consists of, for example, a management server 2 on the cloud, a user terminal 3 that transmits various information to the management server 2 and can display various information received from the management server 2, and a management / operator terminal 4.

[0027] The management server 2, user terminal 3, and administrator / operator terminal 4 are each configured to send and receive various types of information via the communication network 5. Examples of the communication network 5 include the internet, as well as other known or equivalent communication networks such as wired or wireless LANs (Local Area Networks), WANs (Wide Area Networks), and VPNs (Virtual Private Networks).

[0028] In this invention, "artist" is a concept that includes performers such as idols, talents, singers, dancers, models, YouTubers, and virtual YouTubers (V-Tubers), as well as artists who provide copyrighted works such as fine art to people. Furthermore, in this invention, "artist" may also be a person who exposes their appearance to users (including a person who performs such an act online).

[0029] The following describes the various components of the artist voting device 1 according to this embodiment.

[0030] <About the management server> First, let me explain the management server 2. The management server 2 shown in Figure 2 comprises a communication unit 6, a calculation control means 7, and a storage means 8. The configuration of each component of the management server 2 will be described below.

[0031] <About the Communications Department> The communication unit 6 enables the transmission of various information to the user terminal 3 and the management / operator terminal 4 via the communication network 5, and also enables the reception of various information from the user terminal 3 and the management / operator terminal 4.

[0032] <Regarding the calculation control means> The calculation control means 7 consists of a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and the like, and includes a crypto asset trading unit 9, a voting rights granting unit 10, a voting reward granting unit 11, a matching result information generation unit 12, a voting recommendation unit 13, a voting information disclosure / sharing unit 14, and a lock period setting unit 15.

[0033] The calculation control means 7 functions as each of the above components 9 to 15 by executing the artist voting program 100.

[0034] <About the Crypto Asset Trading Department> The cryptocurrency trading unit 9 is a component that executes the purchase and / or sale of specific crypto assets by users. The cryptocurrency trading unit 9 may also function as a so-called "exchange" or "trading platform." That is, the cryptocurrency trading unit 9 may be a component that conducts the buying and selling of crypto assets as a service provider (e.g., the administrator or operator of an artist voting device), or it may be a component that mediates the buying and selling of crypto assets between users. The cryptocurrency trading unit 9 may also possess the functions of both an "exchange" and a "trading platform."

[0035] The quantity of cryptocurrency held can be expressed, for example, by multiplying the unit amount of the cryptocurrency by an integer or a decimal. For example, if the unit of cryptocurrency is "OSHI," it can be expressed as "1 OSHI," "10 OSHI," or "0.5 OSHI."

[0036] Crypto assets can be purchased using cash, credit cards, electronic money, points, or other crypto assets. Furthermore, there may be multiple types of specific crypto assets. Also, the number of voting rights obtained may differ for each specific crypto asset, even if the purchase price and / or holding amount is the same (for example, the number of voting rights may fluctuate in line with the price of the crypto asset).

[0037] <Regarding the Voting Rights Granting Department> The voting rights granting unit 10 is a component that grants voting rights to artists according to the quantity and / or value of crypto assets purchased and / or held by the user. The voting rights granting unit 10 may also be configured so that the more crypto assets a user holds and / or purchases, the more voting rights they will receive.

[0038] Voting rights can be intangible or tangible. Intangible voting rights include, for example, electronic tickets. Tangible voting rights include, for example, paper tickets.

[0039] There may be multiple types of voting rights. For example, there may be different types of voting rights depending on the type of artist, such as voting rights for idols and voting rights for singers. Also, there may be multiple types of voting rights depending on the purpose of voting. For example, there may be votes to determine the popularity of artists, votes to select artists to perform at a specific event, and votes to support specific activities of artists.

[0040] Voting rights may be granted upon purchase of cryptocurrency, or based on the number of cryptocurrency held, or both. If voting rights are granted based on the number of cryptocurrency held, they may be granted based on the number of cryptocurrency held after purchase, or they may be granted multiple times at predetermined intervals based on the number of held cryptocurrency (for example, periodically). Furthermore, if voting rights are granted periodically based on the number of cryptocurrency held, the quantity of voting rights granted will vary depending on the number of cryptocurrency held at the time of granting.

[0041] Voting rights may be acquired through the purchase of goods or services. In particular, voting rights may be acquired through the purchase of goods or services using cryptocurrency. The number of voting rights that can be acquired may be determined in conjunction with the quantity and / or amount of cryptocurrency purchased and / or held, and other parameters. Here, "other parameters" include, for example, the number of times a user logs in, the number of times a user participates in an event, the amount spent on goods or services, and the number of times goods or services have been purchased.

[0042] The voting rights granting unit 10 can cause variations in the content of voting rights that can be obtained depending on the total amount of crypto assets purchased and / or held by users and / or the number of users who hold crypto assets. For example, the voting rights granting unit 10 can cause variations such as the quantity of voting rights that each user can obtain increasing, or the variety of voting rights increasing, as the total amount of crypto assets held by users and the number of holders increase.

[0043] The voting rights granting unit 10 determines the number of voting rights to grant based on the total amount of crypto assets held by all users, and can control the quantity of voting rights granted based on crypto asset holdings by distributing them proportionally according to the amount of crypto assets held. Specifically, the voting rights granting unit 10 grants voting rights to each user based on, for example, what percentage of the total amount of crypto assets held by all users each user holds. The total number of voting rights may vary according to the total amount of crypto assets held by all users.

[0044] The voting rights granting unit 10 can multiply the number of voting rights granted based on the holding period of the crypto asset. For example, as shown in Figure 3, the multiplier for acquiring voting rights may be set to increase as the continuous holding period of the crypto asset increases (the values ​​shown in Figure 3 are just examples).

[0045] Furthermore, the voting rights granting unit 10 can apply a multiplier according to the so-called "lock period," during which the crypto assets cannot be sold after voting rights have been granted. For example, as shown in Figure 4, the multiplier for acquiring voting rights may be set to increase as the lock period lengthens (the values ​​shown in Figure 4 are just examples). The lock period can be selected using the lock period setting unit 15, which will be described later.

[0046] <About the Voting Reward Distribution Department> The voting reward granting unit 11 is a component that grants voting rewards to users when they cast a vote for an artist based on their voting rights, as compensation for that vote.

[0047] The "voting rewards" mentioned above may include, for example, points, a certificate proving that a vote was cast (which may be intangible or tangible), or an NFT (Non-Fungible Token). The points may also be "support points" indicating support for a particular artist. Furthermore, earned voting rewards may be used to purchase or exchange goods and services. These goods and services may be intangible or tangible.

[0048] The voting reward distribution unit 11 can provide different voting rewards depending on the artist being voted for. For example, the number of voting rewards for a particular artist may be increased during a certain campaign period. More specifically, in order to make it easier for a new idol to be promoted in the future to receive votes, a campaign may be held for that new idol, and the number of voting rewards for voting for that new idol during this campaign period may be increased compared to outside the campaign period. In addition, voting rewards may be varied depending on the artist's age, popularity (number of followers, number of reviews, number of registered users, etc.), or the number of live performances held.

[0049] The voting reward distribution unit 11 can make the voting rewards awarded for voting on artists whose voting elapsed since becoming eligible for voting is less than or equal to a predetermined number of days, more advantageous than the voting rewards awarded for voting on artists whose voting elapsed beyond that predetermined number of days. For example, voting on a new artist who has been eligible for voting for less than 30 days (this is just one example) may result in receiving more voting rewards than the usual voting rewards.

[0050] The voting reward distribution unit 11 can increase the quantity of voting rewards awarded if a vote is cast during the event period and / or within a specific time after the event. Here, "event" refers to, for example, live events held in person, as well as live streaming, discussions, and interaction events. In this embodiment, for example, the unit may inform users before the event that the quantity of voting rewards they can earn will increase, thereby encouraging them to purchase cryptocurrency.

[0051] <About the Matching Result Information Generation Unit> The matching result information generation unit 12 compares the user's profile information with the artist's profile information and generates matching result information, which is information indicating whether or not the user's and the artist's profile information match.

[0052] The "user profile information" mentioned above includes, but is not limited to, information such as the user's date of birth, place of origin, hobbies, preferences, preferred type of person, and information about artists they want to support (support). User profile information is included in user information and is stored in the user information storage unit (user information DB) 17, which will be described later.

[0053] Furthermore, the "artist profile information" mentioned above includes, for example, the artist's date of birth, place of origin, hobbies, preferences, etc. This artist profile information is included in the artist information and is stored in the artist information storage unit (artist information DB) 18, which will be described later.

[0054] The "matching result information" described above is obtained by the matching result information generation unit 12 by performing a process to determine whether or not the user's profile information matches the artist's profile information. Artificial intelligence (AI) may be used in the above process. Here, "the user's profile information and the artist's profile information match" means, for example, that there are a predetermined number or more common points in the profile information of the user and the artist, or that the user specifies information about an artist they want to support (recommend), and that information is included in the artist's profile information.

[0055] The matching result information generation unit 12 may also generate matching result information by allowing the user to specify multiple artists they want to support (recommend). For example, the matching result information generation unit 12 may allow the user to specify multiple artists they want to support (recommend) and generate matching result information in a way that allows the user to see the ranking of the artists based on the number of common points in their respective profile information.

[0056] <About the Voting Recommendation Department> The voting recommendation unit 13 is a component that recommends voting for an artist to a user when the profile information of the user and the artist match based on the matching result information. Specifically, based on the matching result information generated by the matching result information generation unit 12, the voting recommendation unit 13 generates voting recommendation information, which is information recommending that the user vote for the matched artist, and sends it to the user.

[0057] Furthermore, if the Voting Recommendation Unit 13 recommends voting for a matched artist, and the user votes for the recommended artist, the Voting Reward Granting Unit 11 may make favorable changes to the voting rewards, such as increasing the quantity of voting rewards granted.

[0058] <Regarding the disclosure and sharing of voting information> The voting information disclosure and sharing unit 14 is a component that enables users to disclose and / or share their voting information with other users. The voting information disclosure and sharing unit 14 may also allow users to view each other's information on their user terminals 3. Furthermore, the voting information disclosure and sharing unit 14 may also allow users on their user terminals 3 to comment on and rate other users' information.

[0059] <Regarding the lock period setting section> The lock period setting unit 15 is a component that allows the user to select a desired period as the lock period.

[0060] <Regarding memory methods> The storage means 8 stores various types of information and also functions as a working area when the arithmetic control means 7 performs arithmetic processing. In this embodiment, the storage means 8 is composed of a hard disk, ROM (Read Only Memory), RAM (Random Access Memory), flash memory, etc., and includes a program storage unit 16, a user information storage unit 17, an artist information storage unit 18, a voting rights information storage unit (voting rights information DB) 19, and a voting reward information storage unit (voting reward information DB) 20.

[0061] <About the program memory> The program storage unit 16 is a functional unit that stores the artist voting program 100 in this embodiment. The artist voting program 100 is a computer program that causes a computer to execute the processing performed by the artist voting device 1 according to this embodiment.

[0062] Furthermore, the use of the artist voting program 100 is not limited to the configuration described above. For example, the artist voting program 100 may be stored on a computer-readable non-temporary recording medium such as a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM, and then read and executed directly from that recording medium.

[0063] <About the User Information Storage Unit> The user information storage unit 17 is a component that stores user information, which is information about the user.

[0064] The "user information" mentioned above includes, for example, the user's name, alias, gender, photograph, cryptocurrency trading history, quantity and value of cryptocurrency held, and planned event participation dates. User information also includes, but is not limited to, the user's profile information (for example, the user's date of birth, place of origin, hobbies, preferences, preferred type of person, and information about artists they want to support).

[0065] <About the Artist Information Storage Department> The artist information storage unit 18 is a component that stores artist information, which is information about the artist.

[0066] The "Artist Information" mentioned above includes, for example, the artist's name, alias, gender, photograph, personality, achievements, special skills, and event schedule. It also includes, but is not limited to, the artist's profile information (for example, the artist's date of birth, place of origin, hobbies, preferences, etc.).

[0085] <About administrator / operator terminals> Next, we will explain the administrator / operator terminal 4. Although detailed illustrations are omitted, the administrator / operator terminal 4 is a terminal (for example, an electronic device such as a smartphone, tablet, or laptop) owned by the administrator / operator of the artist voting device 1 (see Figure 1) according to this embodiment, and has a web browser capable of browsing the internet installed. Furthermore, the administrator / operator terminal 4 is able to access the web pages provided by the artist voting device 1.

[0086] <Flowchart from the execution of cryptocurrency purchase, etc., to the granting of voting rights and the distribution of voting rewards for voting> Next, referring to Figure 6, we will explain the flow from the execution of cryptocurrency purchases, etc., to the granting of voting rights and the distribution of voting rewards for those who vote. Note that the flow shown in Figure 6 is just one example and is not limited to the flow described below.

[0087] First, in step S1, the user decides to buy and / or sell a specific crypto asset from the user terminal 3, and the purchase and / or sale of the crypto asset is executed in the crypto asset trading unit 9 of the management server 2.

[0088] Next, in step S2, the voting rights granting unit 10 issues voting rights to artists according to the quantity and / or amount of crypto assets purchased and / or held by the user. Then, in step S3, the voting rights granting unit 10 transmits the voting rights to the user terminal 3, thereby granting the voting rights to the user.

[0089] Then, in step S4, if the user casts a vote for the artist from the user terminal 3 based on their voting rights, in step S5, the voting reward granting unit 11 of the management server 2 issues a voting reward. Then, in step S6, the voting reward granting unit 11 sends the voting reward to the user terminal 3, thereby granting the voting reward to the user.

[0090] With the above steps completed, the process from the purchase of cryptocurrency to the granting of voting rights and the distribution of voting rewards for those who cast a vote is finished.

[0091] <Specific flow of issuance and granting of voting rights> Next, with reference to Figure 7, we will explain the specific flow of issuing and granting voting rights. Note that the flow shown in Figure 7 is just one example and is not limited to the flow described below.

[0092] First, in step S11, the voting rights granting unit 10 of the management server 2 determines the content of the voting rights. For example, the voting rights granting unit 10 causes the content of the voting rights that can be obtained to vary depending on the total amount of crypto assets purchased and / or held by users and / or the number of users who hold crypto assets. More specifically, the voting rights granting unit 10 causes variations such as the quantity of voting rights that each user can obtain increasing, or the number of types of voting rights increasing, as the total amount of crypto assets held by users and the number of holders increase.

[0093] Furthermore, the voting rights granting unit 10 determines the number of voting rights to grant based on the total amount of crypto assets held by all users, and controls the quantity of voting rights granted based on crypto asset holdings by distributing them proportionally according to the amount of crypto assets held. More specifically, the voting rights granting unit 10 grants voting rights to each user based on, for example, what percentage of the total amount of crypto assets held by all users each user holds. The total number of voting rights may vary depending on the total amount of crypto assets held by all users.

[0094] Next, in step S12, the voting rights granting unit 10 applies a multiplier to the number of voting rights granted based on the holding period of the crypto asset. For example, as shown in Figure 3, the multiplier for acquiring voting rights may be set to increase as the continuous holding period of the crypto asset increases (the values ​​shown in Figure 3 are just examples).

[0095] Next, in step S13, the voting rights granting unit 10 applies a multiplier according to the lock period. For example, as shown in Figure 4, the multiplier for acquiring voting rights may be set to increase as the lock period lengthens (the values ​​shown in Figure 4 are just examples).

[0096] Next, in step S14, the voting rights granting unit 10 issues voting rights, and the voting rights granting unit 10 transmits the voting rights to the user terminal 3, thereby granting voting rights to the user.

[0097] With the above steps, the specific flow for issuing and granting voting rights is complete.

[0098] <Specific flow of issuing and granting voting rewards> Next, with reference to Figure 8, we will explain the specific flow of issuing and granting voting rewards. Note that the flow shown in Figure 8 is just one example and is not limited to the flow described below.

[0099] First, in step S21, the voting reward granting unit 11 of the management server 2 determines whether the user's vote corresponds to a vote for a specific artist (for example, an artist within the campaign period).

[0100] As a result, if the answer in step S21 is "Applicable (YES)", the process proceeds to step S22, where the voting reward distribution unit 11 makes a change to the voting reward (for example, increasing the quantity of voting rewards compared to outside the campaign period), and then proceeds to step S23. On the other hand, if the answer in step S21 is "Not applicable (NO)", the process proceeds to step S23.

[0101] Next, in step S23, the voting reward granting unit 11 determines whether the number of days elapsed since the day the artist became eligible for voting is less than or equal to a predetermined number of days.

[0102] As a result, if in step S23 the result is "less than or equal to the predetermined number of days (YES)", the process proceeds to step S24, where the voting reward granting unit 11 makes a change to the voting reward (for example, increasing the quantity of voting rewards compared to when more than the predetermined number of days have passed), and the process proceeds to step S25. On the other hand, if in step S23 the result is "not less than or equal to the predetermined number of days (NO)", the process proceeds to step S25.

[0103] Next, in step S25, the voting reward granting unit 11 determines whether the vote was cast within the event period and / or within a specific time period after the event. Here, the determination is made as to whether the vote was cast within the event period.

[0104] As a result, if in step S25 the vote is cast within the event period (YES), the process proceeds to step S26, where the voting reward granting unit 11 makes a change to the voting reward (for example, increasing the quantity of voting rewards compared to those cast outside the event period), and then proceeds to step S27. On the other hand, if in step S25 the vote is not cast within the event period (NO), the process proceeds to step S27.

[0105] Next, in step S27, the voting reward granting unit 11 issues a voting reward, and the voting reward granting unit 11 transmits the voting reward to the user terminal 3, thereby granting the voting reward to the user.

[0106] With the above steps, the specific flow for issuing and awarding voting rewards is complete.

[0107] <Flowchart for generating matching result information and generating / notifying recommendation information> Next, referring to Figure 9, we will explain the flow for generating matching result information and generating and notifying recommendation information. Note that the flow shown in Figure 9 is just one example and is not limited to the flow described below.

[0108] First, in step S31, the matching result information generation unit 12 of the management server 2 performs a matching process by comparing the user's profile information with the artist's profile information. Then, in step S32, the matching result information generation unit 12 generates matching result information indicating whether or not the user's and the artist's respective profile information matches.

[0109] Next, in step S33, the matching result information generation unit 12 determines, based on the matching result information, whether or not the profile information of the user and the artist match.

[0110] As a result, if the result in step S33 is "matching (YES)", proceed to step S34. On the other hand, if the result is "not matching (NO)", repeat step S31 (or terminate (END)).

[0111] Next, in step S34, the voting recommendation unit 13 of the management server 2 generates voting recommendation information recommending that the user vote for the matched artist. Then, in step S35, the voting recommendation unit 13 sends the voting recommendation information to the user terminal 3, thereby notifying the user of the voting recommendation information.

[0112] With the above steps completed, the flow for generating matching result information and generating and notifying recommendation information is finished.

[0113] <Effects and benefits obtained by this embodiment> According to this embodiment, which has the above configuration, users can acquire voting rights in proportion to the amount of cryptocurrency they hold and / or purchase, and when a user casts a vote for an artist based on these voting rights, the user can acquire voting rewards, which are rewards for that vote. Furthermore, users can purchase or exchange goods and services with the acquired voting rewards.

[0114] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the quantity and content of voting rights that can be obtained vary depending on the total number of crypto assets held by users and the number of holders. For example, the more crypto assets held by users and the more holders there are, the more voting rights each user can obtain, or the more types of voting rights they can acquire. As a result, it becomes possible to promote overall excitement in planning events and other activities related to artists.

[0115] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, it is possible to make the voting rewards awarded different depending on the artist being voted for. For example, it is possible to increase the amount of voting rewards for a particular artist during a campaign period. More specifically, in order to make it easier for a new idol to be promoted in the future to receive votes, a campaign can be held for that new idol, and the amount of voting rewards received for voting for that new idol during the campaign period can be increased compared to outside the campaign period. In addition, it is possible to make the voting rewards different depending on the artist's age, popularity (number of followers, etc.), or the number of live performances held.

[0116] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, it is possible to make the voting rewards given when voting for an artist whose voting elapsed since the day they became eligible for voting less than a predetermined number of days are more advantageous than the voting rewards given when voting for an artist whose voting elapsed more than the predetermined number of days. For example, if you vote for a new artist who has been eligible for voting for less than a predetermined number of days, you can earn more voting rewards than usual.

[0117] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, when the profile information of a user and an artist are matched based on the matching result information, it becomes possible to recommend that the user vote for that artist. Also, when voting for a matched artist is recommended, it becomes possible to create a favorable change in the content of the voting rewards, such as increasing the quantity of voting rewards awarded to the user when they vote for the recommended artist.

[0118] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, it is possible to make a user's voting information public and / or share it with other users, users can view each other's information, and users can also comment on and rate other users' information. As a result, it becomes possible to foster a sense of competition and camaraderie among users.

[0119] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, users can encourage other users to vote for a specific artist, and users can also encourage others to vote for a specific artist by registering as a sponsor.

[0120] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, a user can use cryptocurrency to encourage other users to vote for a specific artist, and the user information of a user who has encouraged others to vote for a specific artist can be notified to other users.

[0121] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, it is possible to increase the quantity of voting rewards awarded when voting is made during the event period and / or within a specific time after the event. It is also possible to inform users before the event that the quantity of voting rewards they can earn will be increased, thereby encouraging them to purchase crypto assets.

[0122] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the number of voting rights granted can be determined by the total amount of crypto assets held by all users, and the quantity of voting rights granted based on crypto asset holdings can be controlled as a percentage of the total amount of crypto assets held. Specifically, for example, voting rights can be granted to each user based on what percentage of the total amount of crypto assets held by all users they own. The total number of voting rights can be varied according to the total amount of crypto assets held by all users. As a result, users can compete strategically with each other.

[0123] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, it is possible to multiply the number of voting rights granted based on the holding period of the crypto asset. For example, it is possible to set it so that the multiplier for acquiring voting rights increases as the continuous holding period of the crypto asset lengthens.

[0124] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, after granting voting rights, it is possible to apply a multiplier according to the lock period. For example, the multiplier for acquiring voting rights may be set to increase as the lock period lengthens. Also, according to this embodiment, it is possible to select a desired period for the lock period.

[0125] Based on the above, this embodiment provides the effect of enabling voting rights to be acquired and voting to be performed as a result of holding or consuming a predetermined crypto asset, and also enabling the provision of compensation for voting when a vote is made based on those voting rights.

[0126] The configuration described in the above embodiments can be modified as appropriate within the scope of the present invention, and the invention is not limited to the configuration of the above embodiments. [Explanation of Symbols]
