[0004] However, it is not easy to convey the goals, principles, and specific activities of these SDGs to young people, because the adults who teach them do not necessarily have a full understanding of the SDGs. In addition, because the 17 goals are so broad, many activities are being carried out not only by charitable organizations and local governments but also by companies, but these activities are not well known, so there is a need to publicize the sustainable activities of companies and expand support for them.

[0005] The purpose of this initiative is to enable students, primarily in schools from elementary school to university, to learn about a wide range of activities and knowledge held by specific companies and organizations related to the SDGs. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] This idea was A database that holds a plurality of audio-attached contents that have been assigned titles, SDG tags, and industry tags; A search unit that searches the audio-attached content for both the SDGs tag and the industry tag in accordance with an instruction from a terminal; a web page output unit that outputs to the terminal a search result web page that displays a list of titles of the audio-accompanied contents listed by the search unit along with play buttons for playing each of the audio-accompanied contents; a content transmission unit that transmits the audio-accompanied content to the terminal in a reproducible manner in accordance with an instruction from the terminal via the playback button; A content distribution server having The SDGs tag solves the above problem through its first configuration, which is an SDGs content distribution server consisting of 17 types of items corresponding to the 17 SDGs goals.

[0007] In addition to the first structure, this idea also includes The web page output unit A search web page is output to the terminal, the search web page displaying a list of the SDG tags and the industry tags and capable of transmitting a command for the search from each of the displayed tags. We propose a second configuration, which is an SDGs content distribution server.

[0008] Furthermore, in addition to the first or second configuration, The search result web page also displays a list of SDGs tags to which the audio-accompanied content has been assigned, together with the title of the audio-accompanied content. We propose a third configuration, which is an SDGs content distribution server.

[0009] Furthermore, this idea A terminal having a display unit and an audio output unit, and a content distribution server connected to the terminal via a network, The content distribution server includes: A database that holds multiple audio-attached content items tagged with SDGs tags and industry tags; A search unit that searches for audio-attached content using the SDG tag or the industry tag; having The terminal includes: a search web page that displays a list of the SDGs tags and the industry tags and transmits to the content distribution server a command to search for the audio-attached content with each of the displayed tags; a search result web page that displays a list of the audio-accompanied contents listed as search results from the content distribution server together with a play button for playing each of the audio-accompanied contents; is displayed on the display unit, receiving the audio-accompanied content selected within the search result web page from the content distribution server while displaying the web page, and playing the content from the audio output unit; The fourth configuration, which is a content distribution system, also solves the above problems. Effect of the Invention

[0010] When students access the SDGs content delivery server of this invention from school terminals or individual smartphones, they can search and select audio content categorized with SDG tags corresponding to the 17 SDGs goals by specifying the SDG tag, and can listen to the content while understanding which of the 17 goals it corresponds to. This allows children to acquire the knowledge necessary to promote sustainable development while focusing on each goal. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0012] A specific embodiment of this invention will be described in detail below with reference to Fig. 1. This invention is a content distribution system including a content distribution server 22 that distributes audio-accompanying content to a terminal 21, and the content distribution server 22 and the terminal 21.

[0013] The terminal 21 used in this invention can be any computer with a network function, an audio output function, and an image display function, such as a personal computer, a smartphone, a tablet, a television with a network function, etc. In other words, the terminal 21 naturally has a calculation device and a memory, but these are omitted in the figure.

[0014] The network function may be a wired LAN connection standard such as Ethernet (registered trademark), a wireless LAN such as Wi-Fi (registered trademark), a function for connecting to a mobile communication network, or a function for connecting to satellite communication. In FIG. 1, the connection form between the terminal 21 and the content distribution server 22 is not particularly illustrated, and the type is not particularly limited as long as the connection can be made. Among these, a wired LAN or wireless LAN connection function is preferable because it allows stable and inexpensive downloading and streaming playback using a fixed line such as optical fiber via a router. In addition, the terminal 21 and the content distribution server 22 may be installed in the same place, but basically, the content distribution server 22 can be accessed from a remote location via the Internet, so that audio-accompanying content can be distributed to any educational institution or local government not only in Japan but also around the world.

[0015] The audio output function must be capable of outputting the audio of the audio-accompanied content to an audio output unit 42 such as a speaker, earphone, or headphone connected to the terminal 21.

[0016] The image display function must be capable of displaying a web page, which will be described later. If the audio-accompanied content includes not only audio but also video, it is preferable that the video can also be displayed. The display unit 41 displayed by the image display function may be one that displays on a monitor integrated with the housing of the terminal 21, or one that outputs to a display device connected to the terminal 21 via an external output terminal. Examples of the display unit 41 include liquid crystal, organic electroluminescence, and projectors, and are not particularly limited.

[0017] Furthermore, the terminal 21 has an input unit 43 including a pointing device such as a mouse, a trackball, a touch panel, etc. The type is not particularly limited, but it is necessary that icons and buttons on a web page displayed on the display unit 41 can be selected.

[0018] In addition, the terminal 21 needs to be able to connect to the content distribution server 22 using a network function and have a web browser or web-compatible program installed that can use the audio output function.

[0019] The content distribution server 22 is a server that can be connected from the terminal 21 via a network. It may be a server housed in a single housing, a server group in which a plurality of physical servers are connected, or a cloud server that is realized without a fixed housing.

[0020] The content distribution server 22 has a database 30 that stores audio-accompanied content. The audio-accompanied content conveys content related to at least one of the 17 goals of the SDGs by audio. The storage format is not particularly limited, and may be MP3, OGG, MP4, or any other format that can record and play audio and video. The compression standard is also not particularly limited, as long as it can be played on the terminal 21.

[0021] Each piece of audio-accompanied content stored in this database 30 is given a title, an SDGs tag, and an industry tag as a record within the database 30 or as a record that can be associated with the database 30.

[0022] The title is the name of the content, and explains the content to the user of the terminal 21 in an easy-to-understand manner. It is preferable that the title is written in Japanese for Japan, but it may be written in another language to suit the user. The SDGs tag is a tag that indicates which of the 17 SDGs goals the content is related to, and each audio-attached content should be given an SDGs tag for at least one goal. If the audio-attached content is related to multiple goals, it should be given multiple SDGs tags. Note that audio-attached content that does not have an SDGs tag may be included in part. However, audio-attached content that does not have an SDGs tag cannot be searched for by the SDGs tag. For this reason, at least a part of the audio-attached content is given an SDGs tag.

[0023] The industry tags classify the industries to which the providers and performers of the audio content belong, and the industries introduced in the content. If the industry to which the provider of the audio content belongs is different from the industry introduced in the content, two or more industry tags may be assigned, or the industry tag of one of the industries may be assigned preferentially. The providers and performers correspond to industries in which corporations are involved, but may also be individuals related to a specific industry. There are no particular limitations on the classification method, but in the case of services aimed at Japan, it is preferable to follow the Japan Standard Industrial Classification, as this is easy to adopt and easy to understand.

[0024] In addition, it is preferable if the names of the providers and performers of the audio-accompanied content (hereinafter collectively referred to as "company names") are registered within database 30 or as records that can be associated with database 30, as this makes it possible to search by those company names as well.

[0025] The content distribution server 22 has a search unit 31 that searches for audio-attached content in the database 30 according to instructions from the terminal 21. In searching, it is necessary to be able to list audio-attached content to which the corresponding SDGs tag has been added by selecting at least one of the SDGs tags. It is also preferable to be able to list audio-attached content to which the corresponding industry tag has been added by selecting the industry tag. It is even more preferable to be able to display a list of titles and company names, and to list partial or complete matches in text.

[0026] In order to allow the terminal 21 to use its functions, the content distribution server 22 has a web page output unit 32 that outputs a web page written in a language such as HTML or XML and transmits it to the terminal 21. The content distribution server 22 also has a reception unit 33 that receives tag selection, search method, text content, etc. transmitted from the terminal 21 via the web page. The content distribution server 22 also has a content transmission unit 34 that transmits the audio-accompanied content selected and specified by the terminal 21 via the web page.

[0027] In addition to the above, it is preferable that the content distribution server 22 has a database for managing user accounts and an authentication program for the database, in order to restrict general users to contractors or designated users. These user accounts may be issued to individuals or to schools.

[0028] An example of a flow for executing the system according to this invention by these components is shown in Fig. 2. First (S101), the content distribution server 22 is accessed from the terminal 21 (S102). At this time, the address of the content distribution server 22 may be specified in a web browser, or a dedicated program (app) for using the content distribution server 22 may be launched. When accessing, instead of proceeding to the next step immediately, authentication may be performed using a user name and password before proceeding to the next step. Also, instead of authentication for each user, authentication may be performed using an ID assigned to the school before proceeding to the next step.

[0029] When access from the terminal 21 is accepted, or when authentication is required, the content distribution server 22 outputs a search web page from the web page output unit 32 and transmits it to the terminal 221 (S103). The terminal 21 that receives this search web page can display a list of the SDG tags and the business category tags, and transmit a command for the search from each of the displayed tags. An example of this search web page is shown in FIG. 3.

[0030] The 17 icons lined up under "Search for "SDGs" radio from 17 goals" in the upper part of Fig. 3 correspond to the 17 goals of the SDGs. Although only numbers are shown in the figure, the content of the goal may be described in text or a pictogram may be shown in addition to the figure. When an icon is selected with a pointing device on the terminal 21 displaying the search web page (S104→Yes), a command to select and search the SDG tag corresponding to the selected icon is transmitted to the content distribution server 22. The search unit 31 of the content distribution server 22, which receives this command at the reception unit 33, searches for and lists the audio-attached content tagged with the SDG tag (S111).

[0031] The buttons lined up under "Search for "SDGs" radio by industry" in the middle of Fig. 3 correspond to the respective industry tags. Here, classification according to the Japan Standard Industrial Classification is shown as an example. The numbers written after each industry are an example of the number of audio-attached contents to which the corresponding industry tag has been assigned. When a button is selected with a pointing device on the terminal 21 displaying the search web page (S104 → No → S105 → Yes), a command to select and search the industry tag corresponding to the selected button is transmitted to the content distribution server 22. The search unit 31 of the content distribution server 22, which receives this at the reception unit 33, searches for and lists the audio-attached contents to which the industry tag has been assigned (S112).

[0032] The buttons arranged under "Search for "SDGs" radio by company" in the lower part of FIG. 3 correspond to the Japanese alphabetical order of company names. When "All" is selected, all companies are listed in Japanese alphabetical order and displayed under the button, and when each line is selected, all companies having the name corresponding to that line are listed and displayed under the button. At this time, the selection of each line may be once transmitted to the content distribution server 22, and the terminal 21 may receive the list of each line as a response, or the list of each line may be included in the search web page in advance. When the displayed company name is selected by the pointing device on the terminal 21 displaying the search web page (S105→No→S106), a command to select and search the company name corresponding to the selected button is transmitted to the content distribution server 22. The search unit 31 of the content distribution server 22, which receives this at the reception unit 33, searches for and lists the audio-accompanyed content provided by the provider of that company name (S113).

[0033] In any of the above patterns (S111 to S113), the web page output unit 32 of the content distribution server 22 transmits a search result web page displaying a list of the listed audio-attached contents to the terminal 21 (S114). An example of this search result web page is shown in FIG. 4. This is an example of a search result web page received as a response to a command to select and search for the third goal "Good health and well-being for all" as the SDGs tag. In this search result web page, the audio-attached contents listed by the search unit 31 are displayed in a list along with a play button 51 for playing each of the audio-attached contents (53). When the play button 51 is selected with a pointing device, a command to play the audio-attached contents is transmitted to the content distribution server 22 (S115). The content distribution server 22, which receives this command at the reception unit 33, transmits the selected audio-attached contents to the terminal 21 (S116). The audio-attached contents are played on the search result web page in the terminal 21. During playback, the play button 51 changes to a stop button, and playback can be stopped by selecting the stop button. Also, when multiple audio-attached contents are listed on the search result web page as shown in Fig. 4, it is preferable to be able to play the listed audio-attached contents one after another by selecting the play button 51 for each audio-attached content, because this allows the user to efficiently listen to the audio-attached content that he or she wishes to play, without having to search again for the corresponding audio-attached content.

[0034] It is preferable that the search result web page display a button that allows the user to return to the search web page once the user operating terminal 21 has finished playing all of the audio-accompanied content that he or she wishes to play among those displayed.

[0035] It is preferable that the search result web page also displays a list of SDG tags to which the audio content is assigned, along with the title of the audio content. In the example of FIG. 4, icons with numbers corresponding to the 17 SDGs goals are displayed as SDG icons 52. The first audio content displayed is related to the 10th goal as well as the 3rd goal. The second audio content displayed is related to the 1st to 3rd goals. The third audio content displayed is related to the 11th goal as well as the 3rd goal. It is clear at a glance that the content is related to other SDG tags, and this can be used as one of the criteria for deciding which audio content to play from the list.

[0036] It is more preferable that the search result web page is also capable of displaying a document icon 54 for downloading related documents, a bookmark icon 55 for registering the document as a favorite when the document is used after authentication, and the like. [Explanation of symbols]
