Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, and an information processing program. [Background technology]

[0002] With the advancement of AI (Artificial Intelligence), the use of computers in the field of art is being promoted. For example, a technology is known in which existing music pieces are used as learning data to perform machine learning to generate a learning model for music generation, and the computer is then made to compose new music pieces (for example, Patent Document 1). This technology uses a Markov model to imitate the characteristics of existing music pieces and generate more natural melodies. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] U.S. Pat. No. 9,110,817 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] According to conventional technology, users can use music data proposed (generated) by AI in composing, allowing them to compose music based on a wider variety of perspectives.

[0005] However, the above-mentioned conventional technology does not necessarily allow for an appropriate determination of the usage mode of a model used to generate content such as music. For example, the above-mentioned conventional technology merely generates music using a model such as a Markov model, and does not take into consideration what kind of user will use the model used to generate content such as music, and in what manner. Therefore, it is desired to appropriately determine the usage mode of a model used to generate content such as music.

[0006] Therefore, the present disclosure proposes an information processing device, an information processing method, and an information processing program that can enable appropriate use of a model according to data used to generate the model. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, one form of information processing device according to the present disclosure includes a generation unit that generates a model related to the generation of content using data provided by a user of a service who has one of multiple authority levels of the service related to content creation, and a determination unit that determines a usage manner of the model generated by the generation unit in accordance with the one authority level held by the user.

[0011] [1. Embodiment] [1-1. Overview of information processing according to an embodiment of the present disclosure] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of information processing according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Information processing according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is realized by an information processing device 100. In the following example, a case where the information processing device 100 is a server device that provides a service (also simply referred to as a "service") related to the creation of content as a work is shown as an example. Note that, in the following, a song (music content) is shown as an example of content, but the content is not limited to a song, and may be various content such as video content such as a movie and text content such as a book (novels, etc.). In addition, the song here is not limited to a completed song (whole), but is a concept that includes various musical information such as a part of the sound source that constitutes a song (song) and a short sound used for sampling.

[0012] In the example of FIG. 1, the information processing device 100 communicates with terminal devices of users who use services provided by the information processing device 100, for example, via a network N (see FIG. 7) such as the Internet.

[0013] The following describes an example in which three levels of authority are granted to each user depending on the usage mode of each user of the service provided by the information processing device 100. Among the users, a user with system administrator authority will be specifically referred to as a system administrator, a user with store administrator authority will be specifically referred to as a store administrator, and a user with general user authority will be specifically referred to as a general user.

[0014] The system administrator authority corresponds to a first authority level (also simply referred to as "first authority") given to an administrator (system administrator) of the service provided by the information processing device 100. The system administrator with the first authority operates and manages the entire information processing system 1 as, for example, a learning model information sharing and sales system. The information processing device 100 communicates with the system administrator terminal 10 used by the system administrator.

[0015] The store manager authority corresponds to a second authority level (also simply referred to as "second authority") that is granted to a seller (store manager) who sells using the service provided by the information processing device 100. If the content (copyrighted work information) is a song (music information), the store manager with the second authority is, for example, a music publishing company, a music label, a DAW software sales company, etc. The information processing device 100 communicates with the store manager terminal 20 used by the store manager.

[0016] The general user authority corresponds to a third authority level (also simply referred to as "third authority") given to a user (general user) who uses a service provided by the information processing device 100. A general user having the third authority is, for example, a general user who uses a service. General users include various users such as so-called end users, users who use a service (tool) free of charge, and users who use a service in a subscription format. The information processing device 100 communicates with a general user terminal 30 used by a general user. In the following, a case will be shown in which the first authority level is the broadest authority, the second authority level is authority that is more restricted than the first authority level, and the third authority level is authority that is more restricted than the second authority level. In this way, a case will be shown in which the first authority level to the third authority level have a hierarchical relationship. Note that the relationship between each authority level is not limited to the above, and each authority may have a non-overlapping scope.

[0017] The system administrator terminal 10, the store manager terminal 20, and the general user terminal 30 are assumed to have installed therein software (also called "application" or "app") that realizes a comprehensive music production environment. When the system administrator terminal 10, the store manager terminal 20, and the general user terminal 30 are described without making any particular distinction, they may be referred to as terminal devices. For example, the app may be various music-related applications (music applications) such as a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). The app referred to here is not limited to music applications such as a DAW, and may be any type of software as long as it is applicable, for example, an OS (Operating System) such as Android (registered trademark) or iOS (registered trademark).

[0018] The terminal device also has an AI-based automatic composition function through an extension function of an application such as a DAW. The terminal device also has an AI-based automatic composition function through a plug-in (extension application) that is added to an application such as a DAW through a plug-in function. For example, the plug-in (extension application) can take the form of VST (Steinberg's Virtual Studio Technology) (registered trademark), AudioUnits, AAX (Avid Audio eXtension), etc.

[0019] From here, the process will be specifically described with reference to Fig. 1. In the example of Fig. 1, the description will be based on a case where a DAW is installed as an example of an application on the terminal device of each user. First, an overview of the information processing of each device will be described with reference to Fig. 1, and then the details of the determination of the usage mode will be described with reference to Figs. 2 to 7.

[0020] 1 shows a case where the information processing device 100 generates a learning model (also simply called a "model") using data provided by a user, and determines the usage mode of the generated model according to the authority of the user who provided the data. The learning model here may be any model, and the example of FIG. 1 shows a model (style palette) used for automatic composition of music, but the details of learning models such as style palette will be described later.

[0021] The information processing device 100 acquires data used to generate the learning model from the system administrator terminal 10 used by the system administrator SM1 (step S11). The system administrator SM1 operates the system administrator terminal 10 to transmit the data used to generate the learning model to the information processing device 100. In the example of FIG. 1, the system administrator terminal 10 transmits data DT11 (see FIG. 2) to the information processing device 100. As a result, the information processing device 100 acquires the data used to generate the learning model from the system administrator terminal 10 used by the system administrator SM1 who has been granted the first authority level.

[0022] Then, the information processing device 100 generates a learning model using the data provided by the system administrator SM1 (step S12). In the example of Fig. 1, the information processing device 100 generates a learning model MD11 (see Fig. 2) using the data DT11 provided by the system administrator SM1.

[0023] Then, the information processing device 100 determines the usage manner of the generated learning model (step S13). The information processing device 100 determines the usage manner of the generated learning model according to the authority level of the system administrator SM1 who is the source of the data. In the example of FIG. 1, the information processing device 100 determines the usage manner of the learning model MD11 according to the first authority level which is the authority level of the system administrator SM1. The information processing device 100 determines that the learning model MD11 can be used in the service corresponding to the first authority level.

[0024] For example, the information processing device 100 may determine the usage mode of the generated learning model using information (authority range information) indicating the available range corresponding to each of the first to third authority levels. In this case, the information processing device 100 may determine the usage mode of the generated learning model using the authority range information stored in the storage unit 120 (see FIG. 6). For example, in the case of the first authority level, a model generated using data of a user (system administrator) to whom that authority level is granted can be sold and shared as a usage mode of the model.

[0025] Also, for example, in the case of the second authority level, a model generated using data of a user (store manager) to whom that authority level has been granted can be used in two ways: consigning the model for sale to a user (system administrator) to whom that authority level has been granted, or sharing the model by the user. Also, in the case of the third authority level, a model generated using data of a user (general user) to whom that authority level has been granted can only be used in one way: sharing.

[0026] In this case, the authority range information corresponds to information indicating that sale and sharing are possible with the first authority level, to information indicating that sales consignment and sharing are possible with the second authority level, and to information indicating that sharing is possible with the third authority level. For example, the authority range information includes first information in which the usage modes "sale" and "share" are associated with the first authority level, second information in which the usage modes "sale consignment" and "share" are associated with the second authority level, and third information in which the usage mode "share" is associated with the third authority level.

[0027] Since the information processing device 100 is at the first authority level, which is the authority level of the system administrator SM1, it determines that both sale and sharing are possible for the learning model MD11. For example, the information processing device 100 uses the authority range information to determine that both sale and sharing are possible for the learning model MD11. For example, the information processing device 100 may store information indicating that the usage mode is sale and sharing in the memory unit 120 in association with the learning model MD11.

[0028] The information processing device 100 also acquires data used to generate the learning model from the store manager terminal 20 used by the store manager SP1 (step S21). The store manager SP1 operates the store manager terminal 20 to transmit the data used to generate the learning model to the information processing device 100. In the example of FIG. 1, the store manager terminal 20 transmits data DT12 (see FIG. 2) to the information processing device 100. As a result, the information processing device 100 acquires the data used to generate the learning model from the store manager terminal 20 used by the store manager SP1 who has been granted the second authority level.

[0029] Then, the information processing device 100 generates a learning model using the data provided by the store manager SP1 (step S22). In the example of Fig. 1, the information processing device 100 generates a learning model MD12 (see Fig. 2) using the data DT12 provided by the store manager SP1.

[0030] Then, the information processing device 100 determines the usage manner of the generated learning model (step S23). The information processing device 100 determines the usage manner of the generated learning model according to the authority level of the store manager SP1 who is the source of the data. In the example of FIG. 1, the information processing device 100 determines the usage manner of the learning model MD12 according to the second authority level which is the authority level of the store manager SP1. The information processing device 100 determines that the learning model MD12 can be used in the service corresponding to the second authority level.

[0031] Since the information processing device 100 is at the second authority level, which is the authority level of the store manager SP1, it determines that the learning model MD12 can be entrusted for sale to a user (system administrator) at the first authority level or shared. For example, the information processing device 100 uses the authority range information to determine that the learning model MD12 can be entrusted for sale to a user (system administrator) at the first authority level or shared. For example, the information processing device 100 may store information indicating that the usage mode is entrusted for sale to a user (system administrator) at the first authority level or shared in the memory unit 120 in association with the learning model MD12.

[0032] The information processing device 100 also acquires data used to generate the learning model from the general user terminal 30 used by general user U1 (step S31). The general user U1 transmits the data used to generate the learning model to the information processing device 100 by operating the general user terminal 30. In the example of FIG. 1, the general user terminal 30 transmits data DT13 (see FIG. 2) to the information processing device 100. As a result, the information processing device 100 acquires the data used to generate the learning model from the general user terminal 30 used by general user U1 who has been granted the third authority level.

[0033] Then, the information processing device 100 generates a learning model using the data provided by the general user U1 (step S32). In the example of Fig. 1, the information processing device 100 generates a learning model MD13 (see Fig. 2) using the data DT13 provided by the general user U1.

[0034] Then, the information processing device 100 determines the usage manner of the generated learning model (step S33). The information processing device 100 determines the usage manner of the generated learning model according to the authority level of the general user U1 who is the source of the data. In the example of FIG. 1, the information processing device 100 determines the usage manner of the learning model MD13 according to the third authority level which is the authority level of the general user U1. The information processing device 100 determines that the learning model MD13 can be used in a service corresponding to the third authority level.

[0035] Since the information processing device 100 is at the third authority level, which is the authority level of the general user U1, it determines that only sharing is possible for the learning model MD13. For example, the information processing device 100 uses the authority range information to determine that only sharing is possible for the learning model MD13. For example, the information processing device 100 may store information indicating that the usage mode is sharing in the storage unit 120 in association with the learning model MD13. Note that steps S11 to S33 are convenient symbols for explaining the processing, and for example, the processing of steps S31 to S33 may be performed before steps S11 to S23, or the processing of steps S21 to S23 may be performed before steps S11 to S13.

[0036] As described above, the information processing device 100 determines the usage mode of the generated model according to the authority level of the provider of the data used to generate the model. This enables the information processing device 100 to appropriately use the model according to the data used to generate the model.

[0037] [1-1-1. Example of use of model according to embodiment] From here, a usage mode of the model according to the embodiment will be specifically described with reference to Figures 2 to 6. Figures 2 to 6 are diagrams showing examples of usage modes of the model according to the embodiment of the present disclosure. Note that in Figures 2 to 6, the same points as in Figure 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted as appropriate.

[0038] First, an overall overview of how a model using data of each user is used will be described with reference to Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a diagram showing an example of how an area is used in the information processing device 100.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 2, the system administrator terminal 10, which is a terminal device used by a system administrator of the first authority level, provides the information processing device 100 with data DT11 used to generate a learning model (step S41). For example, the system administrator provides the information processing device 100 with data DT11 used to generate a style palette (learning model) by inputting information into a screen IM21 as shown in FIG. 28. As a result, the information processing device 100 accepts the data DT11. The information processing device 100, which has accepted the provision of the data DT11, generates a learning model MD11 using the data DT11 (step S42). Here, since the provider of the data DT11 is the system administrator of the first authority level, the information processing device 100 generates the learning model MD11 in the administrator area AR11. The administrator area AR11 is an area (area) available to users of the first authority level. For example, the administrator area AR11 is an area that cannot be accessed by users of authority levels other than the first authority level. For example, the administrator area AR11 may be provided for each user of the first authority level. For example, if there are multiple users with the first authority level, multiple administrator areas AR11 may be provided. In this case, each administrator area AR11 may be an area that can be accessed only by the corresponding user with the first authority level.

[0040] The area (region) referred to here may be a physically divided region or a logically divided region. For example, each of the shared area AR1, the administrator area AR11, the personal area AR12, and the personal area AR13 may be a region (partition) obtained by virtually (logically) dividing a physical hard disk of the information processing device 100 into a plurality of hard disks.

[0041] Then, the information processing device 100 determines how to use the learning model MD11 (step S43). For example, the information processing device 100 determines to sell the learning model MD11 based on the designation of the system administrator who is the source of the data. The information processing device 100 places the learning model MD11 in the shared area AR1 as a sales learning model MD11. In this way, the system administrator can create learning data and sell it in the shared area. For example, the shared area AR1 is a shared area available to all users of the first authority level to the third authority level. For example, the data placed in the shared area AR1 may be accessible to all users of the first authority level to the third authority level.

[0042] In addition, the store manager terminal 20, which is a terminal device used by a store manager with the second authority level, provides the information processing device 100 with data DT12 used to generate a learning model (step S44). For example, the store manager provides the information processing device 100 with data DT12 used to generate a style palette (learning model) by inputting information into a screen IM21 as shown in FIG. 28. In this way, the information processing device 100 accepts the data DT12. The information processing device 100, which has accepted the provision of the data DT12, generates a learning model MD12 using the data DT12 (step S45). Here, since the provider of the data DT12 is the store manager with the second authority level, the information processing device 100 generates the learning model MD12 in the personal area AR12. The personal area AR12 is an area (area) available to users with the second authority level. For example, the personal area AR12 is an area that cannot be accessed by users with authority levels other than the second authority level. For example, the personal area AR12 may be provided for each user with the second authority level. For example, if there are 10 users with the second authority level, 10 personal areas AR12 may be provided. In this case, each personal area AR12 is an area accessible only to the user with the corresponding second authority level.

[0043] Then, the information processing device 100 determines how to use the learning model MD12 (step S46). For example, the information processing device 100 determines to make the learning model MD12 public based on the designation of the store manager who is the data provider. The information processing device 100 determines to make the learning model MD12 shareable based on the designation of the store manager who is the data provider. The information processing device 100 places the learning model MD12 in the shared area AR1 as a public learning model MD12. In this way, the store manager can create and make public learning data.

[0044] Further, the general user terminal 30, which is a terminal device used by a general user of the third authority level, provides the data DT13 used to generate a learning model to the information processing device 100 (step S47). For example, the general user provides the data DT13 used to generate a style palette (learning model) to the information processing device 100 by inputting information into a screen IM21 as shown in FIG. 28. As a result, the information processing device 100 accepts the data DT13. The information processing device 100, which has accepted the provision of the data DT13, generates a learning model MD13 using the data DT13 (step S48). Here, since the provider of the data DT13 is a general user of the third authority level, the information processing device 100 generates the learning model MD13 in the personal area AR13. The personal area AR13 is an area (area) available to users of the third authority level. For example, the personal area AR13 is an area that cannot be accessed by users of authority levels other than the third authority level. For example, the personal area AR13 may be provided for each user of the third authority level. For example, if there are 500 users with the third authority level, 500 personal areas AR13 may be provided. In this case, each personal area AR13 is an area accessible only to the corresponding user with the third authority level.

[0045] Then, the information processing device 100 determines the usage mode of the learning model MD13 (step S49). For example, the information processing device 100 determines to make the learning model MD13 public based on the designation of the general user who is the data provider. The information processing device 100 determines to make the learning model MD13 sharable based on the designation of the general user who is the data provider. The information processing device 100 places the learning model MD13 in the shared area AR1 as a public learning model MD13. In this way, a general user (general user) can create and publish learning data. Note that steps S41 to S49 are convenient symbols for explaining the process, and for example, the process of steps S47 to S49 may be performed before steps S41 to S46, or the process of steps S44 to S46 may be performed before steps S41 to S43.

[0046] Next, the use of the store manager model by a general user will be described with reference to Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the use of the store manager model by a general user. Note that the same points as in Fig. 2 will be appropriately omitted by assigning the same reference numerals, etc.

[0047] In the example of FIG. 3, a general user with a third authority level requests the use of a public learning model MD12 made public by a store manager with a second authority level. In addition, when a general user makes his / her own learning model public, he / she can also use learning models made public by other users. For example, when a general user makes one learning model public, he / she can use, for example, three learning models. In this case, the general user can use learning models made public by other users three times the number of learning models made public by the general user. Note that each user can unlimitedly browse information such as searching the catalog. For example, the information processing device 100 stores the learning models made public and the learning models used by other users in the storage unit 120 in association with each other for each general user. For example, the information processing device 100 may provide various information such as images IM11 to MI41 shown in FIG. 27 to FIG. 30 to the general user terminal 30.

[0048] In the example of FIG. 3, since the general user has made the public learning model MD13 public, the general user is permitted to use the public learning model MD12. Therefore, the information processing device 100 provides the public learning model MD12 to the general user (step S51). For example, the information processing device 100 provides the public learning model MD12 to the personal area AR13 corresponding to the general user. This allows the general user to use the public learning model MD12 generated by the store manager.

[0049] Next, the consignment of a model to a system administrator by a store manager will be described with reference to Fig. 4. Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the consignment of a model to a system administrator by a store manager. Note that the same points as those in Figs. 2 and 3 are appropriately omitted by assigning the same reference numerals, etc.

[0050] In the example of Fig. 4, the store manager terminal 20, which is a terminal device used by a store manager with the second authority level, provides the information processing device 100 with data DT22 used to generate a learning model (step S61). As a result, the information processing device 100 accepts the data DT22. The information processing device 100, which has accepted the provision of the data DT22, uses the data DT22 to generate a learning model MD22 (step S62). The information processing device 100 generates the learning model MD22 in the personal area AR12.

[0051] The store manager then requests the system administrator with the first authority level to entrust the sale of the learning model MD22 (step S63). In this way, the store manager can create learning data and entrust it to the system administrator for sale. For example, in response to the store manager's request for entrustment of the learning model MD22, the information processing device 100 notifies the system administrator that a request for entrustment of the learning model MD22 has been made. The information processing device 100 may then obtain information from the system administrator indicating that the sale of the learning model MD22 will be accepted.

[0052] Then, the system administrator requests the information processing device 100 to sell the sales-commissioned learning model MD22 that has been commissioned for sale. The information processing device 100 places the sales-commissioned learning model MD22 in the shared area AR1 as the sales learning model MD22 (step S64). In this way, the system administrator (system management user) can sell the learning data commissioned for sale by the store manager (special user) in the shared area. In this way, the system administrator can sell the learning data commissioned for sale by the store manager. Then, the information processing device 100 distributes the profits obtained from the sale of the sales learning model MD22 to the store manager according to the sales of the sales learning model MD22 (step S65). The store manager can earn revenue according to the sales of the sales learning model MD22.

[0053] Next, the purchase of a model of another user by a general user will be described with reference to Fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a purchase of a model of a system administrator by a general user. Note that the same points as those in Figs. 2 to 4 are appropriately omitted by assigning the same reference numerals, etc.

[0054] In the example of FIG. 5, a general user with a third authority level requests the purchase of a sales learning model MD11 sold by a system administrator with a first authority level. General users can also purchase learning models that are on sale. The purchase mode may be the purchase of an individual learning model, such as a stand-alone purchase, or may be a purchase using a subscription method. Each user can view the sales data without limit.

[0055] In the example of FIG. 5, a general user purchases a sales learning model MD11 by paying the sales price of the sales learning model MD11. The payment process is performed by an appropriate payment process such as electronic payment. Then, the information processing device 100 provides the sales learning model MD71 to the general user (step S71). For example, the information processing device 100 provides the sales learning model MD11 to the personal area AR13 corresponding to the general user. This allows the general user to use the sales learning model MD11 sold by the system administrator. The same process is performed when the model purchased by the general user is a sales learning model MD22 sold on consignment by the system administrator.

[0056] Next, the use of the models of other users by the store manager will be described with reference to Fig. 6. Fig. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the use of the model of the system manager and the model of general users by the store manager. Note that the same points as those in Figs. 2 to 5 are appropriately omitted by assigning the same reference numerals, etc.

[0057] In the example of FIG. 6, a store manager with the second authority level requests the use of the sales learning model MD11 sold by a system administrator with the first authority level. Here, the store manager can use all public learning data and sales learning data without limit. Therefore, the information processing device 100 provides the sales learning model MD11 to the store manager (step S81). For example, the information processing device 100 provides the sales learning model MD11 to the personal area AR12 corresponding to the store manager. This allows the store manager to use the sales learning model MD11 sold by the system administrator.

[0058] Also, in the example of FIG. 6, the store manager requests the use of the public learning model MD13 made public by a general user with the third authority level. As described above, the store manager has unlimited access to all public learning data and sales learning data. Therefore, the information processing device 100 provides the public learning model MD13 to the store manager (step S82). For example, the information processing device 100 provides the public learning model MD13 to the personal area AR12 corresponding to the store manager. This allows the store manager to use the public learning model MD13 made public by a general user.

[0059] As described above, the information processing device 100 shares or sells a learning model according to the authority level of each user. This allows the information processing device 100 to provide the user with a service according to the authority level of each user.

[0060] In conventional technology, there was no way to share only the learning data (learning model) while securely protecting the copyrighted work itself. There was also no way to sell or consign the learning data (learning model). Furthermore, there was no way to set up store administrator authority as a user other than general users and system administrators and perform processing according to each authority.

[0061] On the other hand, the information processing system 1 allows a user to share a learning model generated using the content, while securely protecting the content itself, such as a copyrighted work, created by the user. In addition, the information processing system 1 allows a user to be given one of the first to third authority levels according to the user's attributes, etc., and thus allows the model to be sold or shared according to the user's authority level. This allows the information processing system 1 to make appropriate use of a model according to the data used to generate the model.

[0062] [1-1-2. Example of model according to embodiment] As described above, the learning model targeted by the information processing system 1 may be any model. The information processing device 100 may generate the learning model using various machine learning techniques. For example, the information processing device 100 may use a music generation algorithm using a Markov chain. The information processing device 100 may use a Markov chain technique to generate the learning model. The information processing device 100 may also use a music generation algorithm using deep learning. The information processing device 100 may generate the learning model using deep learning techniques. For example, the information processing device 100 may generate the learning model using a recurrent neural network technique such as an RNN (Recurrent Neural Network). For example, the information processing device 100 may generate the learning model using a reinforcement learning technique. Note that the above description of the model generation is an example, and the model may be generated by a learning method appropriately selected according to obtainable information and the like. First, a style palette, which is an example of a learning model, will be described.

[0063] The style palette is a learning model generated based on data. For example, the style palette is a learning model generated based on data of musical scores including melodies, chord progressions, and the like. The information processing device 100 may generate a style palette by using data (learning music data) including information such as melody, chord progressions, and bass as a data set (learning data set). The information processing device 100 stores the data set in association with the style palette. The information processing device 100 may generate a style palette that automatically creates music data (also simply called "music") in response to input of predetermined information. For example, the music data automatically created by the style palette may include information such as chord progressions, melodies, and bass note progressions. The music data may be standard data such as MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) data, waveform data, or DAW-specific data.

[0064] For example, the user may instruct the information processing device 100 to generate a style palette (learning model) by inputting information into a style palette (learning model) generation screen as shown in Fig. 28. For example, the user may select music data (learning music data) to be used in generating a style palette from a list of the user's own music data as shown in Fig. 27.

[0065] For example, the information processing device 100 may use music data with a bright melody as learning music data to generate a style palette (bright palette) that automatically creates music data with a bright melody. Also, for example, the information processing device 100 may use music data with a dark melody as learning music data to generate a style palette (dark palette) that automatically creates music data with a dark melody. Also, for example, the information processing device 100 may use music data corresponding to a predetermined chord progression as learning music data to generate a style palette (palette created based on a chord progression) that automatically creates music data corresponding to a predetermined chord progression. Note that the style palette is not limited to the above, and may be a palette corresponding to a genre or type of music such as "American" or a palette corresponding to a music structure such as "A melody → B melody → chorus".

[0066] For example, each style palette automatically composes a piece of music having characteristics corresponding to the data (music) used for its generation. Here, each style palette is a learning model generated based on music data having various characteristics. For example, a bright palette is a learning model generated by machine learning using music data with a bright melody, and a dark palette is a learning model generated by machine learning using music data with a dark melody. Therefore, the automatically composed music changes depending on the style palette selected by the user. Therefore, a user can automatically compose a desired piece of music by selecting a style palette according to his / her own desires.

[0067] For example, the information processing device 100 may generate a style palette that randomly creates multiple pieces of music data in response to an instruction for automatic creation. For example, the information processing device 100 may generate a style palette (bright palette) that randomly creates multiple pieces of music data with a bright melody in response to an instruction for automatic creation. For example, the information processing device 100 may generate a style palette (dark palette) that randomly creates multiple pieces of music data with a dark melody in response to an instruction for automatic creation. For example, the information processing device 100 may generate a style palette (palette created based on a chord progression) that randomly creates multiple pieces of music data corresponding to a predetermined chord progression in response to an instruction for automatic creation.

[0068] The information processing device 100 may generate a style palette using information (parameters) corresponding to the setting information ST12 to ST14 shown in FIG. 25. The information processing device 100 may generate a style palette using parameters corresponding to harmony, note lengths, and the like. For example, the information processing device 100 may generate a style palette with predetermined information as an input. For example, the information processing device 100 may generate a style palette with information (parameters) corresponding to the setting information ST12 to ST14 shown in FIG. 25 as an input. For example, the information processing device 100 may generate a style palette that randomly creates multiple pieces of music data when parameters are input. Note that the above is an example, and the style palette may be a learning model that outputs any information as long as it is usable by a user for automatically creating music.

[0069] From here, various information processing using learning models such as style palette will be explained.

[0070] [1-1-3. Model selection example] First, the selection of a learning model (style palette) to be used by a user will be described. A user selects a style palette that he or she wishes to use from a list of style palettes such as those shown in FIG. 29 and FIG. 30. A user selects an image that matches the music that the user wishes to automatically compose using the style palette. For example, if a user wishes to automatically compose a music piece with a bright melody, the user selects a bright palette. For example, if a user wishes to automatically compose a music piece with a dark melody, the user selects a dark palette. For example, if a user wishes to automatically compose a music piece that corresponds to a specific chord progression, the user selects a palette created based on the chord progression.

[0071] In addition, when selecting a style palette, the user may select multiple style palettes. For example, the user may select a first style palette to compose a part of a song (e.g., the first 8 bars), and may select a second style palette different from the first style palette to compose a different part of the song (e.g., the middle 8 bars). Such information including multiple style palettes is hereinafter referred to as a style palette sequence. In other words, a style palette sequence can be said to be combination designation information that combines designation information that designates a song called a style palette. By setting a style palette sequence and performing composition, the user can easily create diverse song data that has multiple characteristics in one song.

[0072] [1-1-4. Sales and sharing of models] The information processing device 100 may sell or share each learning model (style palette) individually. The information processing device 100 may also sell or share a plurality of style palettes as one bundle. The information processing device 100 may sell or share 20 style palettes generated based on music by a specific artist as one bundle. For example, the information processing device 100 may sell or share one bundle corresponding to name #002 including a plurality of style palettes such as style palettes SP#101, SP#055, SP#007, and SP#300 as shown in FIG. 30.

[0073] [1-1-5. Automatic generation of meta information] The information processing device 100 may generate meta information of the learning model. For example, the information processing device 100 generates meta information corresponding to the model based on data provided by the user. For example, when the provided music data is a music with a dark melody, the information processing device 100 may generate meta information including information on the dark melody as meta information of the style palette to be generated. For example, when the provided music data is a music corresponding to a specific chord progression, the information processing device 100 may generate meta information including information indicating the dark specific chord progression as meta information of the style palette to be generated.

[0074] [1-1-6. Providing models to data providers] The information processing device 100 may transmit the model to a terminal device used by the user entity that is the source of the data. The information processing device 100 may transmit the model to the terminal device used by the user entity that is the source of the data when the generation of the model is completed. For example, the information processing device 100 may generate a model when it receives data, and transmit the model to the terminal device used by the user entity that is the source of the data when the model is generated.

[0075] For example, the information processing device 100 may generate a style palette at the timing of receiving data, and transmit the style palette to a terminal device used by the user entity that is the source of the data at the timing of generating the style palette. In this way, the information processing device 100 generates a style palette as soon as there is a request to generate a style palette, and transmits the generated style palette to the terminal device. For example, since the time required to generate a style palette is shorter than, for example, the learning of other generative models, the information processing device 100 can perform the processing from receiving a request to generating and transmitting a style palette in a short time.

[0076] [1-1-7. Providing information to users] The information processing device 100 may provide various information to a user. For example, the information processing device 100 may provide various information to a user in response to a request from the user. The information processing device 100 may determine the information to be provided to the user based on the service usage history of the user.

[0077] The information processing device 100 may determine a plurality of models to be provided to the user based on the user's service usage history. In this case, the information processing device 100 generates list information of the determined plurality of models and transmits the list information to the user's terminal device.

[0078] The information processing device 100 may determine a model to be recommended to a user (recommended model) based on the behavior history and preferences of each user. The information processing device 100 determines a recommended model to be recommended to the user from among a plurality of models.

[0079] [1-1-8. Viewing services] When the content is a piece of music as described above, the information processing device 100 may provide a listening service to the user. For example, the information processing device 100 may provide a listening service for a piece of music generated when using a model.

[0080] When providing a listening service, the information processing device 100 may accept a style palette selection by a user and allow the user to listen to a piece of music that has been automatically composed using the accepted style palette, thereby enabling the user to check what kind of music will be created.

[0081] [1-1-9. Data provided by users] When data provided by a user meets a predetermined condition, the information processing device 100 may not register the data. For example, when a user requests that content copyrighted by another entity be registered as data provided by the information processing device 100, the information processing device 100 may not register the content. For example, when a user requests that a song by a certain artist (song X) be registered as data provided by the information processing device 100, the information processing device 100 may not permit the registration.

[0082] In this case, the information processing device 100 may notify the user who requested the registration that the registration is not permitted. For example, the information processing device 100 may determine whether the content for which the user requests to register is a content for which another entity holds the copyright by referring to a predetermined database. For example, the information processing device 100 may provide the content for which the user requests to register to an external service providing device that provides a copyright existence determination service, and may determine whether the content is a content for which another entity holds the copyright by using the determination result received from the external service providing device.

[0083] [1-2. Configuration of information processing system according to embodiment] An information processing system 1 shown in Fig. 7 will be described.

[0251] General users can create learning model information using the learning model information display and editing function, and register the learning model information in the database section of the server via the network N using the learning model information management function of the server device.

[0252] A general user, for example, after agreeing to terms of use, etc., can change the state of the sharing information of the learning model information to a shared state by giving an instruction to the shared information management function of the server device from the display operation unit via the network N. The sharing information can take a value indicating, for example, either not sharing (e.g., "0") or sharing (e.g., "1"). For example, at the time of registering the learning model information, the sharing information of the learning model information is not sharing, but at the instruction of the general user, the sharing information management function changes the state of the sharing information corresponding to the learning model information to sharing.

[0253] A general user can obtain a list of learning model information associated with a creator ID indicating the user by making a request to view a list of learning model information created by the general user to the learning model information management function of the server device via the network N using the learning model information display and editing function. A general user can display the list of learning model information obtained from the server device using the learning model information display and editing function.

[0254] A general user can obtain a list of learning model information whose corresponding sharing availability information is shareable by making a request to view a list of shared learning model information from the learning model information display / editing function to the shared information management function of the server device via the network N. A general user can display the list of shared learning model information returned from the server device with the learning model information display / editing function.

[0255] A general user sends a shared bookmark request to the shared information management function of the server device via the network N from the learning model information display and editing function, and the learning model information ID is added to the shared bookmark list information. This allows the general user to register a bookmark that he or she likes from the acquired shared learning model information list as the general user's own bookmark. In the bookmark registration process, a limit may be set on the number of bookmarks that can be registered. For example, if the number of learning model information shared by the general user is n (n is an arbitrary number), the upper limit of the learning model information that can be registered in the bookmark may be set to n x 3 (three times the number of learning models provided by the general user). This allows the information processing system to set a limit on the number of bookmarks that can be registered in the bookmark registration process of the shared information management function. Note that the upper limit is not limited to three times the number of learning models provided by the general user, but may be two or five times, or may be a predetermined value.

[0256] A general user obtains a list of learning model information whose sales availability information corresponding to the learning model information is available for sale by making a request to view a list of sold learning model information from the learning model information display / edit function to the sales information management function of the server device via the network N. The general user can display the list of available learning model information returned from the server device with the learning model information display / edit function. The general user selects the desired learning model information from the list of available learning model information for sale, and requests purchase from the sales information management function via the network N using the learning model information purchase function. When the general user completes payment according to the sales price information contained in the sales management information related to the learning model information requested for purchase, the information processing system registers the learning model information ID of the completed purchase in the user purchased list information. For example, the information processing system adds the learning model information ID of the completed purchase to the user purchased list information associated with information (user ID) identifying the general user.

[0257] A general user obtains user purchased list information having his / her own user ID from the user purchased list information by making a purchased learning model information list viewing request to the sales information management function of the server device from the learning model information display / editing function via the network N. This allows the general user to obtain a list of learning model information IDs contained in his / her own user purchased list information, and to display the list of purchased learning model information returned from the server device with the learning model information display / editing function.

[0258] A general user selects desired learning model information from the acquired learning model information list while referring to the learning model information meta information corresponding to the learning model information. The selected learning model information can be used in the learning processing unit of the server device. For example, the learning model information is a style palette of an AI-assisted composition system, and the selected style palette is used in the composition processing which is the learning processing unit.

[0259] The operation history of the general user is transmitted by the user operation history information transmission function to the user operation history information management function of the server device via the network N, and is stored as user operation history list information. The user operation history list information stored in the server device can be used, for example, in the learning processing unit, and can be used to change the display order according to the user's preferences when transmitting a list of learning models to the user.

[0271] The information processing system shown in FIG. 24 has a means for recording the operation history of the user in the server device, and makes the operation record available for learning.

[0272] A user can communicate with the server device via a network from the user application section, and can register multiple pieces of copyrighted work information in the server database section using the copyrighted work information management function of the server device. This copyrighted work information is securely protected by the copyrighted work information management function, and can be prevented from being viewed by other users.

[0273] Users can be classified into system administrators, store administrators, and general users based on their authority.

[0274] A user can register multiple pieces of learning model information using copyrighted work information already registered in the database unit within the server, using the learning model information management function of the server device.

[0275] The user can set whether or not to share the learning model information that the user registered in the database unit in the server by using the shared information management function of the server device. When the learning model information is registered in the database unit in the server, the learning model information cannot be shared, and the user can change this to shareable by using the shared information management function.

[0276] For general users, when changing the learning model information to be shareable, the system administrator must make them agree to a usage license that grants the right to use the learning model information to all users. This allows the system administrator to freely use the learning model information of general users.

[0277] The system administrator can use the sales information management function of the server device to set whether or not each piece of learning model information registered by the system administrator in the database section in the server can be sold.

[0294] [1-7.UI (User Interface)] Here, details of the automatic composition function such as information display by the application (music composition application) will be described with reference to Fig. 25 and Fig. 26. Fig. 25 and Fig. 26 are diagrams showing an example of a user interface according to the embodiment.

[0295] FIG. 25 shows an example of a user interface when the music creation application is displayed on the screen of the user terminal 10.

[0296] In the example shown in Fig. 25, the user interface IF11 displays music data received by a music creation application. Note that, as will be described in detail later, music data in a music creation application is made up of three different types of data: melody, chords, and bass notes. The user interface IF11 shown in Fig. 25 displays data related to the melody among the three different types of data.

[0297] Setting information ST11 displays information related to a style palette, which is an example of setting information for the automatic composition function. A style palette is specification information for specifying material music pieces that serve as learning data for machine learning.

[0298] The setting information ST12 displays information about harmony, which is an example of setting information in the automatic composition function. The information about harmony is, for example, information for determining the probability that the constituent tones included in a chord appear in the melody in the music data composed by the processing server 100. For example, if the user sets the information about harmony to "strict", the probability that the constituent tones included in a chord appear in the melody in the automatically composed music data increases. On the other hand, if the user sets the information about harmony to "loose", the probability that the constituent tones included in a chord appear in the melody in the automatically composed music data decreases. The example in FIG. 25 indicates that the user has applied the information about harmony to "strict".

[0299] The setting information ST13 displays note length information, which is an example of setting information in the automatic composition function. Note length information is, for example, information for determining the length of notes in music data composed by the processing server 100. For example, if the user sets the note length information to "long", the automatically composed music data is more likely to contain notes with relatively long sound lengths (e.g., whole notes and half notes). On the other hand, if the user sets the note length information to "short", the automatically composed music data is more likely to contain notes with relatively short sound lengths (e.g., eighth notes and sixteenth notes).

[0300] The setting information ST14 displays information for determining the type and amount of material music pieces other than those included in the designated information (the style palette designated by the user), which is an example of setting information in the automatic composition function. Such information is, for example, information for determining whether or not learning is to be strictly performed based on music pieces included in the style palette designated by the user in the music data composed by the processing server 100. For example, if the user sets such information to "never," there is a low tendency for music pieces other than those included in the style palette to be used in learning with automatic composition. On the other hand, if the user sets such information to "only," there is a high tendency for music pieces other than those included in the style palette to be used in learning with automatic composition.

[0301] The music data MDT1 indicates specific music data transmitted from the processing server 100. In the example of FIG. 25, the music data MDT1 includes information indicating a chord progression such as Cm, information indicating the pitch and note length in a measure, transitions in note pitch (in other words, melody), and the like. As shown in FIG. 25, the music data MDT1 may include, for example, four different types of content. That is, the processing server 100 may transmit multiple pieces of music data instead of transmitting only one type of automatically composed music data. This allows the user to select the music data he or she likes from the multiple candidates of music data generated, or to compose a favorite piece of music by combining multiple pieces of music data.

[0302] The user interface IF11 shown in Fig. 25 displays data related to the melody among the three different types of data, melody, chords, and bass notes, contained in the music data, but other data is displayed in other user interfaces. This point will be described with reference to Fig. 26.

[0303] As shown in Fig. 26, the user terminal 10 may display on the screen a user interface IF12 that displays data related to chords and a user interface IF13 that displays data related to bass notes, in addition to a user interface IF11 that displays data related to a melody. Although not shown in Fig. 26, the user interface IF12 and the user interface IF13 display note information different from the music data MDT1 in the user interface IF11. Specifically, the user interface IF12 displays note information related to chords corresponding to the melody of the music data (e.g., constituent notes of the chord Cm, etc.). Furthermore, the user interface IF13 displays note information related to bass notes corresponding to the melody and chords of the music data (e.g., "C" note for the chord Cm, etc.).

[0304] The user can select information to be copied from the displayed user interface IF11, user interface IF12, and user interface IF13, and can perform operations such as editing a part of the bass sound, for example.

[0305] [1-8. Display of information] Various information may be displayed on terminal devices such as the system manager terminal 10, the store manager terminal 20, and the general user terminal 30. This point will be described with reference to Figs.

[0306] [1-8-1. Example of a list of created music score data] First, the display of a list of created musical score data will be described with reference to Fig. 27. Fig. 27 is a diagram showing an example of information display. Specifically, Fig. 27 is a diagram showing an example of a screen showing a list of created musical score data. Fig. 27 uses as an example a case where information is displayed on a general user terminal 30 used by user #001.

[0307] In the example of FIG. 27, an image IM11 displaying a list of created score data is shown as an example. The general user terminal 30 displays the image IM11 showing the score data created by the user #001. The general user terminal 30 displays a list of information showing a plurality of score data such as titles #001 to #015 created by the user #001. The user #001 edits or deletes the score data corresponding to each title by operating the editing button marked "Edit" or the deletion button marked "Delete" displayed to the right of each title. The user #001 also adds score data by operating the addition button marked "Add". In this way, the user adds, edits, or deletes score data by performing operations on the image IM11.

[0308] [1-8-2. Example of a screen for creating a style palette] Next, the display of a list of created musical score data will be described with reference to Fig. 28. Fig. 28 is a diagram showing an example of information display. Specifically, Fig. 28 is a diagram showing an example of a screen for creating a style palette. Fig. 28 explains the case where the general user terminal 30 displays information as an example.

[0309] In the example of FIG. 28, an image IM21 displaying information for creating a style palette is shown as an example. The general user terminal 30 displays the image IM21 including a field (form) for a user to input information for creating a style palette. The general user terminal 30 displays the image IM21 including a field for inputting the name of the style palette corresponding to [name] at the top and a field for inputting the author corresponding to [author] below. The [StylePallete] field also includes items such as tempo, atmosphere, structure, chord progression, and mode. The tempo is information indicating the tempo of the song, and uptempo (up) or slow tempo (slow) is input. The atmosphere is information indicating the atmosphere of the song, and bright (plus) or dark (minus) is input. The structure is information indicating the structure of the song, and structure #001 or structure #002 is input. In the example of FIG. 28, the structure is shown by a character string such as structure #001, but any information may be used as long as the structure can be identified. For example, the structure may be information such as "bars A" or "bars B". The chord progression is information indicating the chord progression of the song, and chord progression #001, etc. are input. In the example of FIG. 28, the chord progression is indicated by a character string such as chord progression #001, but any information may be used as long as the chord progression can be specified. For example, the chord progression may be information that specifically indicates the chord progression, such as "FCBE" or "C-Am-FG". The mode is information indicating the mode of the song, and mode #001, mode #002, etc. are input. In the example of FIG. 28, the mode is indicated by a character string such as mode #001, but any information may be used as long as the mode can be specified. For example, the mode may be information that specifically indicates a mode based on music theory. The mode may be information such as "Dorian", "Phrygian", "Lydian", "Mixolydian", "Aeolian", or "Locrian".

[0310] The general user terminal 30 also displays an image IM21 including a field for specifying the score (data) that will be an element of the style palette corresponding to the [element] at the bottom. In [element], the title, author, and data (hash value, etc.) corresponding to each piece of music (score) are displayed. User #001 selects or deletes the score data corresponding to each element by operating the selection button labeled "Select Songs" or the deletion button labeled "Delete Row" displayed to the right of each element in [element]. In this way, the user inputs various information, selects score data, or cancels the selected score data by operating the image IM21. In addition, information on items such as tempo, atmosphere, structure, chord progression, and mode in the [StylePallete] field may be input by a user such as a general user, or may be automatically input by a terminal device such as the general user terminal 30. For example, when the general user terminal 30 automatically inputs information, the general user terminal 30 may generate information to be input in items such as tempo, atmosphere, structure, chord progression, and mode based on information about the music (music score) registered in [element]. For example, the general user terminal 30 may generate information to be input in the tempo item based on the tempo of the music (music score) registered in [element]. If the tempo of the music (music score) registered in [element] is slow, the general user terminal 30 inputs "slow" in the tempo item.

[0311] [1-8-3. Example of a screen displaying a list of registered sales style palettes] Next, the display of a list of created musical score data will be described with reference to Fig. 29. Fig. 29 is a diagram showing an example of information display. Specifically, Fig. 29 is a diagram showing an example of a screen displaying a list of style palettes registered for sale. Fig. 29 explains, as an example, a case where information is displayed on general user terminal 30 used by user #001.

[0312] In the example of FIG. 29, an image IM31 displaying a list of style palettes registered for sale is shown as an example. The general user terminal 30 displays the image IM31 including a list of style palettes registered for sale. The general user terminal 30 displays the list including a style palette (style palette SP#001) whose name is "SP#001" and whose creator is "user #001". The style palette SP#001 has a tempo of "up", an atmosphere of "plus", a structure of "structure #002", a chord progression of "chord progression #005", and a mode of "mode #001". The user edits or deletes the style palette by operating the editing button labeled "Edit" or the deletion button labeled "Delete" displayed to the right of the style palette. The user also adds a style palette by operating the addition button labeled "Add". In this way, the user adds, edits, or deletes a style palette by performing an operation on the image IM31.

[0313] [1-8-4. Example of a screen displaying a list of self-managed style palettes] Next, the display of a list of created musical score data will be described with reference to Fig. 30. Fig. 30 is a diagram showing an example of information display. Specifically, Fig. 30 is a diagram showing an example of a screen displaying a list of self-management style palettes. Fig. 30 explains the case where a general user terminal 30 displays information as an example.

[0314] In the example of Fig. 30, image IM41 displaying information for managing style palettes is shown as an example. The general user terminal 30 displays a list of style palettes. The general user terminal 30 may display a list of style palettes that are being self-managed by the user who uses the general user terminal 30. For example, the list of style palettes shown in image IM41 may include style palettes created by the user himself, bookmarked style palettes, and purchased style palettes.

[0315] [2. Other embodiments] The processes according to the above-described embodiment and modifications may be implemented in various different forms (modifications) other than the above-described embodiment and modifications.

[0316] [2-1. Other configuration examples] The above configurations are merely examples, and the information processing system 1 may have any system configuration as long as the above-mentioned information processing can be realized. For example, the information processing device 100 and the system administrator terminal 10 may be integrated. For example, the system administrator terminal 10 may be an information processing device having the functions of the information processing device 100.

[0317] [2-2.Other] Furthermore, among the processes described in the above embodiments, all or part of the processes described as being performed automatically can be performed manually, or all or part of the processes described as being performed manually can be performed automatically by a known method. In addition, the information including the processing procedures, specific names, various data and parameters shown in the above documents and drawings can be changed arbitrarily unless otherwise specified. For example, the various information shown in each drawing is not limited to the illustrated information.

[0318] In addition, each component of each device shown in the figure is a functional concept, and does not necessarily have to be physically configured as shown in the figure. In other words, the specific form of distribution and integration of each device is not limited to that shown in the figure, and all or part of them can be functionally or physically distributed and integrated in any unit according to various loads, usage conditions, etc.

[0319] Furthermore, the above-described embodiments and modifications can be appropriately combined as long as the processing contents are not contradictory.

[0320] Furthermore, the effects described in this specification are merely examples and are not limiting, and other effects may also be obtained.

[0321] [3. Effects of this disclosure] As described above, the information processing device according to the present disclosure (information processing device 100 in the embodiment) includes a generation unit (generation unit 132 in the embodiment) and a determination unit (determination unit 133 in the embodiment). The generation unit generates a model related to content generation using data provided by a service user entity having one authority level among multiple authority levels of the service related to content creation. The determination unit determines the usage mode of the model generated by the generation unit according to the one authority level held by the user entity.

[0322] As a result, the information processing device according to the present disclosure can determine the usage mode of the model depending on which entity provided the data used to generate the model, and can appropriately determine the usage mode of the model depending on which entity's data is based on which authority level is granted. Therefore, the information processing device can enable appropriate use of the model depending on the data used to generate the model.

[0323] The determination unit determines the use range of the model in the service according to the one authority level. This allows the information processing device to determine the use range of the model in the service according to the one authority level, and thus to appropriately determine the use range according to the model based on the data of the subject to which the authority level is granted. Therefore, the information processing device can enable appropriate use of the model according to the data used to generate the model.

[0324] Furthermore, the determination unit determines whether or not to sell or share the model according to the one authority level. This allows the information processing device to determine whether or not to sell or share the model according to the one authority level, and thus allows the information processing device to appropriately determine whether or not to sell or share the model according to the model based on the data of the subject to which the authority level is assigned. Therefore, the information processing device can enable appropriate use of the model according to the data used to generate the model.

[0325] The generating unit generates a model using data provided by a user subject having one of a plurality of authority levels including a first authority level given to an administrator of the service, a second authority level given to a seller who sells through the service, and a third authority level given to a general user who uses the service. When the authority level held by the user subject is the first authority level, the determining unit determines that the model can be used in a service corresponding to the first authority level, when the authority level held by the user subject is the second authority level, the determining unit determines that the model can be used in a service corresponding to the second authority level, and when the authority level held by the user subject is the third authority level, the determining unit determines that the model can be used in a service corresponding to the third authority level. This allows the information processing device to generate a model using data of a subject to which one of the first authority level to the third authority level has been assigned, and to appropriately determine the scope of use depending on which authority level the model is based on the data of the subject to which the authority level has been assigned. Therefore, the information processing device can enable appropriate use of the model according to the data used to generate the model.

[0326] The generating unit generates the model using data provided by a user subject having one of a plurality of authority levels including a second authority level having a more restricted authority than the first authority level and a third authority level having a more restricted authority than the second authority level. This allows the information processing device to generate a model using data of a subject having one of the first to third authority levels, the contents of which are restricted according to the level, and to appropriately determine the scope of use depending on which authority level the model is based on. Therefore, the information processing device can enable appropriate use of the model according to the data used to generate the model.

[0327] The generation unit generates a model using data provided by a user entity having one of a plurality of authority levels including a first authority level that can accept sales consignments from a user entity having a second authority level. This allows the information processing device to enable appropriate use of a model according to the data used to generate the model by allowing a user entity having the first authority level to sell a model generated using data from an entity having the second authority level.

[0328] Furthermore, the generation unit generates a model using data provided by a user subject having one of a plurality of authority levels including a second authority level that allows the sale and sharing of a model generated using data of the user subject having the second authority level. In this way, the information processing device enables the subject to both sell and share a model generated using data of the subject having the second authority level, thereby enabling appropriate use of the model according to the data used to generate the model.

[0329] Furthermore, the generation unit generates a model using data provided by a user subject having one of a plurality of authority levels including a third authority level that allows sharing of a model generated by data of a user subject having a third authority level. In this way, the information processing device enables an entity having a third authority level to only share a model generated using the data of the entity, thereby enabling appropriate use of the model according to the data used to generate the model.

[0330] Furthermore, the generating unit generates meta information corresponding to the model based on the data provided by the user. This allows the information processing device to generate meta information corresponding to the model, thereby enabling the content of the model to be confirmed and promoting the use of the model. Therefore, the information processing device can enable appropriate use of the model according to the data used to generate the model.

[0331] The information processing device also includes a transmission unit (transmission unit 134 in this embodiment). The transmission unit transmits the model to a terminal device used by the user subject. In this way, the information processing device can confirm the model generated by the user subject who provided the data by transmitting the model to the terminal device used by the user subject.

[0332] The information processing device also includes a reception unit (reception unit 135 in the embodiment). The reception unit receives data from the user subject. This allows the information processing device to generate a model using the data received from the user subject.

[0333] Furthermore, the generation unit generates a model at the timing when the reception unit receives the data. The transmission unit transmits the model to the terminal device at the timing when the generation unit generates the model. This allows the information processing device to receive data from a certain entity, generate a model, and provide the model to the entity at the timing of generation. In this way, the information processing device generates a model at the timing when a model generation request is received from a certain entity, and provides the model, making it possible to provide the model to the data provider in a short period of time.

[0334] The determination unit determines information to be provided to the one user entity based on the service usage history of the one user entity. This allows the information processing device to provide appropriate information according to the one user entity by determining information to be provided to the one user entity based on the service usage history of the one user entity.

[0335] Furthermore, the determination unit determines a plurality of models for which information is to be provided to the single user entity. The generation unit generates list information of the plurality of models determined by the determination unit. In this way, the information processing device can provide information of the models to the single user entity by generating list information of the plurality of models for which information is to be provided to the single user entity, thereby promoting use of the models by the single user entity.

[0336] The determination unit determines a recommended model to be recommended to one user entity from among the multiple models.
