Thinking and discussion support devices, thinking and discussion support methods, service provision systems

Abstract

To provide a device and method that can provide an environment in which participants in a "space" for thinking and discussing can consider things from a wide variety of perspectives. [Solution] According to this embodiment, the map classifies fields related to society in the first direction, classifies the level of each field in the second direction (social domain in the Arctic direction), and classifies words related to individuals in the third direction (personal domain in the Antarctic direction). Multiple nodes with semantic content are placed in the social domain and the personal domain according to the words (attribute information) at their placement location.

Claims

1.

Furthermore, in a third direction different from the second direction, a second category of individuals consisting of multiple second regions is constructed. Multiple of the first regions can be configured to contain nodes having attribute information relating to the first category. Multiple of the aforementioned second regions can be configured to contain nodes having attribute information relating to the second category. Each of the aforementioned nodes has at least a keyword as attribute information, and furthermore, the attribute information includes multiple topics. The editing function control unit of the control unit is a thinking and discussion support device that displays the timelines of each topic of a plurality of nodes on a display unit and edits the content of the topic and / or the steps of the timeline.

2. The thinking and discussion support device according to claim 1, wherein the topic is a keyword and / or media included in the attribute information of the node.

3. The aforementioned topic is a keyword and / or media included in the attribute information of the node, The thinking and discussion support device according to claim 1, wherein the control unit responds to input from the operation unit and performs the following actions: arranging the keywords and / or media of a plurality of nodes on a timeline, selecting or deleting the keywords and / or media as editing of the timeline, and displaying the results of the editing.

4. The aforementioned topic is a keyword and / or media included in the attribute information of the node, The thinking and discussion support device according to claim 1, wherein the control unit has narration data corresponding to the keyword and / or media of the timeline, and has a function to play back the narration data while the timeline is displayed on the display unit.

5. The aforementioned topic is a keyword and / or media included in the attribute information of the node, The thinking and discussion support device according to claim 1, wherein the control unit has a function to play music while the timeline is displayed on the display unit.

6. A method for supporting thinking and discussion using an input unit and a control unit, The data set for displaying the map is Multiple fields relating to society are classified in a first direction, and each of the multiple fields is classified into multiple levels in a second direction intersecting the first direction, thereby constructing a first category of society consisting of multiple first domains formed by the multiple fields and the multiple levels. Furthermore, in a third direction different from the second direction, a second category of individuals consisting of multiple second regions is constructed. Multiple of the first regions are arranged with nodes having attribute information relating to the first category. Multiple of the aforementioned second regions are arranged with nodes having attribute information relating to the second category, Each of the aforementioned nodes has at least a keyword as attribute information, and furthermore, the attribute information includes multiple topics. A method for supporting thinking and discussion, wherein the editing function control unit of the control unit displays the timeline of each topic of a plurality of nodes on the display unit and edits the content of the topic and / or the steps of the timeline.

7. The thinking and discussion support method according to claim 6, wherein the topic is a keyword and / or media included in the attribute information of the node.

8. The aforementioned topic uses keywords and / or media included in the attribute information of the node, The control unit, in response to input from the operation unit, arranges the keywords and / or media of the plurality of nodes on a timeline, and The editing of the timeline includes selecting or deleting keywords and / or media, and displaying the results of the editing. The thinking and discussion support method according to claim 6.

9. The device comprises a communication unit and the apparatus described in claim 1, A service provision system having means for transmitting to an external source the results of editing the content of the aforementioned topic and / or the steps of the aforementioned timeline in response to user input.

10. The aforementioned communication unit is connected to the server via a network. The service provision system according to claim 9, wherein the topic is a keyword and / or media included in the attribute information of the node.
