[0048] The "Permission" item indicates whether or not the content is permitted to be published.

[0049] The "Views" item represents the number of times the content has been viewed by users other than the user who posted it.

[0050] The "Rating" field is a rating of the content. Specifically, if the rating of the content is something like "Like," "Good," or "High Rating," the "Rating" field will store the number of times that rating was given, the total rating value, etc. Ratings can be accepted, for example, using a known user interface for the content.

[0051] AdDB124 is a database that stores information about advertisements displayed with content. Figure 6 shows the data structure of AdDB124. AdDB124 includes the fields "Ad ID", "Ad Content", "Event ID", and "Event Status".

[0052] The "Ad ID" field is information that identifies the advertisement.

[0053] The "Advertising Content" field contains data for advertisements in the form of text, images, or videos. Specifically, the "Advertising Content" field stores content data such as text data if the advertising content is text, image data if the advertising content is images, video data if the advertising content is videos, and audio data if the advertising content is audio.

[0054] The "Event ID" field is a user ID used to identify the event in which the advertisement is displayed.

[0055] The item "Event Status" is information indicating the circumstances under which the advertisement will be displayed at the event. The event status refers to the progress of the event, such as whether it is before the event starts after the venue opens, after a specified time has elapsed since the event started, before a specified time has passed since the event ended, before the event ended, during a break, before a specified performer's performance, during their performance, or after their performance.

[0056] The control unit 130 performs the functions shown as various modules by having the processor of the information processing device 10 process according to the program. The control unit 130 includes a receiving control unit 131, a transmitting control unit 132, a receiving unit 133, a permission unit 134, a display unit 135, a decision unit 136, a granting unit 137, and a notification unit 138.

[0057] The receiving control unit 131 controls the process by which the information processing device 10 sends and receives signals from an external device in accordance with a communication protocol.

[0058] The transmission control unit 132 controls the process by which the information processing device 10 transmits signals to an external device in accordance with a communication protocol.

[0059] During the event, the reception unit 133 receives from the user terminal 20 an event ID that identifies the event the user is participating in, a user ID that identifies the user, and content related to the event that the user has photographed.

[0060] Specifically, the reception unit 133 receives the event ID of the event in which user A is participating, user A's user ID, and content related to the event from user A's user terminal 20. This content is images, videos, etc., taken by user A at the event venue. For example, the content could be photos of performers such as artists and actors taken by user A from their seat at the event venue, or videos showing promotional photos of performers, works, etc., taken in the hall or other areas of the event venue. The content may also be images of the area around the event venue. The event can be various events such as concerts by artists, plays, exhibitions of paintings, exhibitions, fairs, academic conferences, etc. The reception unit 133 may also refer to the date and time the content was received and the date and time of the event stored in the event DB 121 to determine whether it was received during the event.

[0061] The reception unit 133 authenticates that user A has participated in the event by referring to the event DB 121 using the user ID and event ID of user A that it has received. Depending on the success of the authentication, the reception unit 133 accepts the submission of the content. More specifically, depending on the success of the authentication, the reception unit 133 stores the content in the content DB 123, linked to user A's user ID.

[0062] Furthermore, the reception unit 133 can omit authentication when the user terminal 20A is located at the event venue. For example, a two-dimensional code for posting content is displayed on a designated display device installed within the event venue. When user A's user terminal 20A reads the two-dimensional code, a screen for posting content related to the event is displayed on user A's user terminal 20A. The two-dimensional code is a QR code (registered trademark) or similar code containing a URL for accessing the posting screen. The display device is installed, for example, at the entrance or lobby of the event venue. In this case, the two-dimensional code includes the event ID. By including the event ID in the two-dimensional code, user terminal 20A can obtain the event ID for the event. User terminal 20A posts content from that screen. In this case, the reception unit 133 detects that the access was made via the two-dimensional code and considers that user A, using user terminal 20A, has participated in the event. The reception unit 133 then stores the content in the content DB 123, linking it to user A's user ID.

[0063] The permission department 134 receives permission from relevant parties to publish the content.

[0064] Specifically, the authorization unit 134 first presents the content to the relevant parties involved in the event upon receiving the content submission. These parties include the event organizer, the person managing the performers, the administrator of System 1, and the person in charge of the event. The authorization unit 134 presents the content to the relevant parties by displaying the accepted content submission on their terminals. At this time, the authorization unit 134 may also present the relevant parties with a request to input whether to authorize the content within a predetermined time after receiving the submission. The predetermined time is, for example, 1 minute, 5 minutes, or 10 minutes, a time that maintains real-time access. In this case, the authorization unit 134 should display an authorize button along with the content, so that authorization / denial can be smoothly performed by the relevant parties. The relevant parties can set an appropriate predetermined time according to the nature of the event and their strategies. Since the technology disclosed herein is intended for users to post and view event-related content among themselves during the event, if a relevant party sets a time that contradicts the maintenance of real-time access, an error may be displayed on the relevant party's terminal 40.

[0065] The authorization unit 134 receives permission to publish content from the relevant terminal 40. Specifically, when the authorization unit 134 receives permission or denial of publication for content from the relevant terminal 40, it sets permission or denial for the content.

[0066] Furthermore, the permission unit 134 may deny permission for submitted content if a predetermined time has elapsed since the content was received. More specifically, the permission unit 134 sets the content as denied if permission is not granted by the relevant parties within the predetermined time. If permission is granted by the relevant parties after the predetermined time has elapsed, the permission unit 134 sets the content as denial.

[0067] Each time content is posted, relevant parties must indicate whether they approve it. This approval process prevents unsuitable or inappropriate content from being displayed to a large, unspecified audience. In particular, it helps prevent any inconvenience caused to artists and other performers. Furthermore, having organizers who are familiar with the event's purpose and the performers review the content allows for the selection of photos, videos, and other content that are suitable for both artists and fans.

[0068] Furthermore, the permission unit 134 may be configured to analyze the content to determine whether or not it is appropriate, and to automatically set permission for publication of the content depending on whether the determination is appropriate.

[0069] Specifically, the permission unit 134 determines whether the content is appropriate or not by performing image analysis, using image analysis software that can determine whether the content is appropriate or not. The image analysis software can be, for example, one that, when an image is input, uses a trained model that outputs whether or not the image contains inappropriate images such as images that give an unpleasant impression or obscene images, thereby determining whether the content is appropriate or not.

[0070] Furthermore, the permission unit 134 may be configured to determine whether an image relates to a performer of the event by performing image analysis. In this case, the permission unit 134 will determine that an image is inappropriate if it does not include a performer. The image analysis software can be, for example, one that takes an image to be analyzed and an image of a performer as input and uses a trained model to determine whether or not a performer is included in the image.

[0071] Furthermore, the permission unit 134 may perform image analysis on the content and, if the content is deemed inappropriate, automatically deny permission and display it on the relevant party's terminal. Permission may only be granted to the content if permission is received from the relevant party's terminal. Such a configuration involves a double-check by both the machine and a human, enabling the display of more appropriate content. Additionally, the permission unit 134 may deny permission to the content upon receiving a denial request from the performer's terminal 30.

[0072] When the display unit 135 receives access from another user's terminal participating in the event, it displays a list of content related to the event on that other user's terminal.

[0073] Specifically, the display unit 135 receives the event ID and user ID of user B from user B's user terminal 20B. For example, it displays a two-dimensional code for viewing content on a predetermined display device installed in the event venue. When user B's user terminal 20B reads the two-dimensional code, it transmits the event ID and user ID of user B to the information processing device. The display unit 135 retrieves content from the content DB 123 that is authorized by the relevant parties among the content related to the event corresponding to the received event ID. The display unit 135 transmits the authorized content to user terminal 20B, causing user terminal 20B to display a list of the authorized content.

[0074] Furthermore, the display unit 135 accepts content selections from a list of content from other users' terminals. Specifically, the display unit 135 accepts the selection of content that user B wants to display in detail from a list of content, from user terminal 20B.

[0075] When the display unit 135 receives a content selection, it transmits the advertisement determined by the decision unit 136, along with the selected content, to the user terminal 20B, thereby displaying the selected content and the advertisement on the user terminal 20B.

[0076] Furthermore, the display unit 135 may display a list of content on the user terminal 20A in response to the reception unit 133 receiving content from the user terminal 20A. In this case, the display unit 135 transmits the list of content to the user terminal 20A in response to the reception unit 133 receiving content from the user terminal 20A, thereby causing the user terminal 20 to display the list of content.

[0077] The decision unit 136 determines which advertisement to display based on the event status. Specifically, the decision unit 136 refers to the event DB 121 and the current time to determine the status of the event, such as whether it has not yet started or is within one hour of starting. Alternatively, the event DB 121 may be pre-stored with an event time schedule, and the decision unit 136 may decide on an advertisement by referring to the time schedule and the current time. The decision unit 136 may decide on only one advertisement, or it may decide on multiple advertisements. In this case, the display unit 135 may employ various display methods, such as deciding to display advertisements randomly or deciding to display advertisements according to the user's attributes.

[0078] The decision unit 136 determines which advertisements to display on the user terminal 20 along with the content, according to the status of the determined event. Furthermore, the decision unit 136 may acquire the status of the event from an external terminal such as the participant terminal 40 and decide which advertisement to display on the user terminal 20 along with the content according to the acquired event status.

[0079] The rewarding unit 137 aggregates the number of views of the content in response to the display of the advertisement, and if the number of views meets predetermined conditions, it grants a predetermined incentive to the user who posted the content.

[0080] Specifically, the assignment unit 137 adds 1 to the view count in the content DB 123 in response to receiving a content selection, sending an advertisement to the user terminal 20B, or receiving a notification from the user terminal 20B that the advertisement has been displayed. In this case, the assignment unit 137 does not add to the view count if the user who posted the content and the user who viewed the content are the same.

[0081] Next, the awarding unit 137 adds up the number of views and determines whether the number of views meets predetermined conditions. These predetermined conditions are, for example, conditions for awarding incentives when the number of views exceeds a predetermined first threshold for the first time, or when the number of views exceeds a predetermined second threshold and the evaluation value exceeds a predetermined third threshold. The first, second, and third thresholds are set according to the scale of the event, the number of participants, etc. The first, second, and third thresholds are, for example, values ​​such as 50 and 100. Alternatively, the number of clicks or taps that accepted content selection may be used instead of the number of views.

[0082] The awarding unit 137 may determine whether a predetermined condition is met based on the total number of views of all content posted by the user who posted the content. This is because there are situations where it is better to award incentives to users who post a lot of content rather than having users who never receive incentives if one piece of content does not exceed a threshold. In this case, the awarding unit 137 adds up the number of views, calculates the total number of views of all content posted by the user who posted the content, and determines whether the number of views meets a predetermined condition.

[0083] The rewarding unit 137 grants an incentive to the user who posted the content if the number of views meets predetermined conditions. The incentive is valid only while the event is being held and can only be used at the event venue. The incentive may be, for example, a coupon that can be exchanged for a drink at the event venue, or a discount voucher for purchasing merchandise at the event venue.

[0084] Furthermore, the granting unit 137 may determine the incentive to be granted depending on the circumstances of the event. For example, if the event is in the middle of a meal break, the incentive may be a discount coupon or voucher for a restaurant at the event venue.

[0085] The notification unit 138 notifies the user terminal 20 of the user who posted the content that an incentive has been awarded.

[0086] Specifically, the notification unit 138 notifies the user terminal 20 that an incentive has been granted by sending an email or notification containing a QR code or the like for using the incentive. To use the incentive, the user can, for example, scan the QR code using a reader installed in a store, vending machine, etc.

[0087] Furthermore, if the user who posted the content is a performer and has given an incentive to the performer, the notification unit 138 notifies the user terminal 20 of the users participating in the event that an incentive has been given to the performer.

[0088] Specifically, if the user who posted the content is a performer and the terminal that notified the awarding of the incentive is the performer's terminal 30, the notification unit 138 will notify all users' terminals 20 participating in the event about which performer received which incentive. This is to encourage performers to post content by notifying them of what incentives have been awarded for the content they have posted. In this way, performers can post, view, and receive incentives for content, just like users. For example, a performer can post a photo from the dressing room to please their fans. This can encourage users to view both content and advertisements.

[0089] <Functional configuration of user terminal 20> The configuration of the user terminal 20 will now be described.

[0153] <Summary> As described above, the technology of this disclosure stores information about the event, including first information that identifies the event, and information about users participating in the event, including second information that identifies users participating in the event. During the event, the technology of this disclosure receives first information about the event the user is participating in, second information about the user, and content related to the event taken by the user from the user's terminal. The technology of this disclosure stores the first information, second information, and content received from the user's terminal in memory, linking them together. When the technology of this disclosure receives access from the terminal of another user participating in the event, it displays a list of content related to the event on the other user's terminal and accepts the selection of content from the list on the other user's terminal. The technology of this disclosure displays a predetermined advertisement on the other user's terminal along with the selected content. Depending on the advertisement displayed, the technology of this disclosure compiles the number of views of the content and, if the number of views meets predetermined conditions, provides a predetermined incentive to the user who posted the content. The technology disclosed herein also notifies the user who made the post that the incentive has been granted.

[0154] Because event participants share the common goal of attending the event, the psychological barrier to posting content is lower, unlike on open social media platforms. Furthermore, even if event participants do not use social media, they can still enjoy content posted by other participants as long as they are present at the event. Therefore, the technology disclosed herein allows event participants to be encouraged to post content they took during the event while simultaneously viewing advertisements attached to that content in real time.

[0155] Furthermore, the technology disclosed herein, upon receiving first information, second information, and content related to the event that the user is participating in, from the user's terminal, displays a list of such content on the user's terminal.

[0156] Thus, the technology disclosed herein encourages users to view content posted by other users. Therefore, the technology disclosed herein allows event participants to post content they took during the event while simultaneously viewing advertisements attached to that content in real time.

[0157] Furthermore, the technology disclosed here determines which advertisements to display based on the event situation and shows the determined advertisements on other users' devices along with selected content. In this way, the technology disclosed here allows event participants to see advertisements that are relevant to the progress of the event.

[0158] Furthermore, the technology disclosed here, if the user who posted is a performer and has given an incentive to the performer, notifies the devices of users participating in the event that the performer has been given an incentive. In this way, the technology disclosed here allows participating users to know in real time that a performer has been given an incentive, which can encourage event participants to post content they have taken during the event.

[0159] (modified version) In the above embodiment, the user was notified that the performer had been given an incentive, but this is not the only example. For example, the user may be notified when the performer uses the incentive. In this case, the system could be configured to obtain information that the incentive has been used from a terminal installed in the store or vending machine.

[0160] Users are more likely to purchase products at physical stores, vending machines, etc., when performers use incentives. Furthermore, users are encouraged to post content they filmed during the event in order to receive incentives, and they can see advertisements attached to that content in real time.

[0161] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the list of content may be displayed on a display device such as a screen installed in the event venue. In this case, a QR code for viewing the content may also be displayed. With this configuration, when a user scans the QR code for the content, they will be able to view the content and advertisements. Therefore, it becomes easier for event participants to see the advertisements.

[0162] Furthermore, while the above embodiment describes using a two-dimensional code as an example of how to use the incentive, it is not limited to this. For example, it is also possible to simply notify that an incentive has been granted, and to notify a store terminal (not shown) where the incentive can be used that an incentive has been granted. In this case, for example, the user may use the incentive by showing the notification to a store employee. At this time, the store employee can manage the use of the incentive by notifying the information processing device 10 that the incentive has been used by operating the store terminal.

[0163] Alternatively, for example, a store employee may issue an authentication code on the store's terminal after checking the notification screen. In this case, the user accesses the store's web page via the user terminal 20 and enters the authentication code. This allows the user to use the incentive. At this point, the server managing the store's web page can manage the use of the incentive by sending a message to the information processing device 10 indicating that the incentive associated with the authentication code has been used.

[0164] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the content extracted from the storage unit 220 of the user terminal 20 is posted via a post button on the posting screen, but the system is not limited to this. For example, the system may be configured to extract content stored in the storage unit 220 of the user terminal 20 and post the content through user operation (e.g., swipe).

[0165] Figure 16 shows an example of a posting screen according to this modified example. As shown in Figure 16, screen 1600 includes UI section 1401 and UI section 1602.

[0166] The UI unit 1602 is a user interface (UI) for transmitting content extracted by the UI unit 1401 to the information processing device 10. The UI unit 1602 performs the function of transmitting the extracted content to the information processing device 10 when the UI unit 1602 is swiped upwards on the screen by the user. Note that the location where the swipe function is performed is not limited to the UI unit 1602, but may be the entire screen 1600, the UI unit 1401, etc.

[0167] <Basic Computer Hardware Configuration> Figure 17 is a block diagram showing the basic hardware configuration of computer 2100. Computer 2100 comprises at least a processor 2101, main memory 2102, auxiliary memory 2103, and a communication IF 2104 (interface).

The control unit can also cause the processor 2101 to perform operations such as adding, updating, and deleting data stored in the memory unit according to the various programs.

[0177] A database, specifically a relational database, is used to manage and link together tabular data sets called masters, which are structurally defined by rows and columns. In a database, tables are called tables, masters are called masters, the columns of tables are called columns, and the rows of tables are called records. In a relational database, relationships can be established and linked between tables and masters. Typically, each table and master has a primary key column to uniquely identify records, but setting a primary key column is not mandatory. The control unit can instruct the processor 2101 to add, delete, or update records in specific tables and masters stored in the storage unit, according to various programs. Furthermore, by storing data, various programs, and various databases in the memory unit, the information processing device and information processing system related to this disclosure can be considered to have been manufactured.

[0178] Furthermore, the databases and masters in this disclosure may include any data structures (lists, dictionaries, associative arrays, objects, etc.) in which information is structurally defined. Data structures also include data that can be considered as data structures by combining data with functions, classes, methods, etc., written in any programming language.

[0179] The communication unit is implemented by the communication IF 2104. The communication unit provides the functionality to communicate with other computers 2100 via the network. The communication unit can receive information transmitted from other computers 2100 and input it to the control unit. The control unit can cause the processor 2101 to perform information processing on the received information according to various programs. The communication unit can also transmit information output from the control unit to other computers 2100.

[0180] Furthermore, each of the above-mentioned configurations, functions, processing units, processing means, etc., may be implemented in hardware, either partially or entirely, by designing them as integrated circuits, for example. The present invention can also be implemented by software program code that realizes the functions of the embodiment. In this case, a storage medium on which the program code is recorded is provided to a computer, and the processor of that computer reads the program code stored in the storage medium. In this case, the program code read from the storage medium itself realizes the functions of the embodiment described above, and the program code itself and the storage medium on which it is stored constitute the present invention. Examples of storage media used to supply such program code include flexible disks, CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs, hard disks, SSDs, optical disks, magneto-optical disks, CD-Rs, magnetic tapes, non-volatile memory cards, ROMs, and the like.

[0181] Furthermore, the program code that implements the functions described in this embodiment can be implemented in a wide range of programming or scripting languages, such as assembler, C / C++, Perl, Shell, PHP, and Java (registered trademark).

[0182] Furthermore, the program code for the software that implements the functions of the embodiment may be distributed via a network and stored in a storage means such as a computer's hard disk or memory, or in a storage medium such as a CD-RW or CD-R, and the computer's processor may read and execute the program code stored in the storage means or storage medium.
