[0002] 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there are information processing devices that provide rewards to contributors who post articles such as news articles according to the number of accesses to the articles. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2010-63008 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, when compensation is determined based on the number of hits, compensation is paid regardless of the quality of the article, so a large amount of compensation may be paid to articles that use clickbait headlines to attract attention (articles with low information value or articles where the headline does not match the content of the article) or highly topical, low-cost articles such as television transcripts. This could result in a risk of lower compensation for contributors who submit high-quality articles that are not topical but that have been researched over a long period of time.

[0005] The present application has been made in view of the above, and aims to provide an information processing device, an information processing method, and an information processing program that can provide appropriate rewards to contributors. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The information processing device according to the present application includes a receiving unit and a determining unit. The receiving unit receives a plurality of types of evaluations for a posted article from a user. The determining unit determines a reward for a poster of the posted article in accordance with the received evaluations. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] According to one aspect of the embodiment, it is possible to provide appropriate rewards to contributors. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0009] Hereinafter, an information processing device, an information processing method, and an information processing program according to the present application (hereinafter referred to as "embodiments") will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the information processing device, the information processing method, and the information processing program according to the present application are not limited to these embodiments. Furthermore, the same components in the following embodiments will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and duplicated descriptions will be omitted.

[0010] (Embodiment) 1 is a diagram showing an example of the operation of an information processing system S according to an embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the information processing system S according to the embodiment includes an information processing device 1, a user terminal 50, and a poster terminal 100.

[0011] In the information processing system S according to the embodiment, first, a poster transmits a posted article to the information processing device 1 via the poster terminal 100 (step S1). The posted article is, for example, an article including text and images, such as a news article or an SNS (Social Networking Service) article.

[0012] Next, the information processing device 1 distributes the posted article to the user terminal 50 (step S2). The distribution method may be distribution by push notification, or distribution in response to a request from the user who operates the user terminal 50.

[0013] Next, the user terminal 50 detects that the user has finished reading the posted article (step S3). For example, the user terminal 50 detects that the user has finished reading when the end of a sentence in the posted article is included in the user's field of view on the display unit of the user terminal 50. Note that the user may also detect that the user has finished reading the posted article by transmitting information about the display position of the posted article on the user terminal 50 to the information processing device 1, and the information processing device 1 may detect that the user has finished reading the posted article.

[0014] Next, when the user terminal 50 detects that the user has finished reading the posted article, it displays rating buttons for receiving multiple types of ratings for the posted article (step S4). In the example shown in Fig. 1, three types of rating buttons are displayed: "Learnt," "Easy to understand," and "New perspective."

[0015] "Educational" evaluates the information contained in the submitted article, the fact that the information is accurate due to thorough research, and the point of view. In other words, "Educational" evaluates articles other than kotatsu articles such as TV transcripts.

[0016] "Easy to understand" evaluates the structure of the posted article, evaluates whether the main points are summarized and the article is easy to understand, and evaluates the writing style and communication method. In other words, "easy to understand" evaluates articles other than those that are unnecessarily verbose or difficult to understand because of inappropriate structure (context and sentence pattern).

[0017] "New Perspective" evaluates the information contained in the posted article, the novelty of the event itself that the posted article conveys, and the originality of the poster's interpretation of the event, and evaluates the uniqueness of the poster (or the company to which the poster belongs). In other words, "New Perspective" evaluates the poster's interpretation, rather than the straight news itself.

[0018] Next, the user terminal 50 accepts the user's rating for the posted article (step S5). In the example shown in Fig. 1, the user terminal 50 accepts the user's selection operation of at least one of the three rating buttons as a rating.

[0019] Next, the user terminal 50 transmits the received evaluation to the information processing device 1 (step S6).

[0020] Next, the information processing device 1 determines a reward for the poster of the posted article according to the received evaluations (step S7). For example, the information processing device 1 determines a reward according to the ratio of the number of page views (PV) of the posted article to the number of received evaluations. Note that instead of the number of page views, the number of users who viewed the posted article, such as a unique browser (UB), may also be used.

[0021] Then, the information processing device 1 provides the determined reward to the poster via the poster terminal 100 (step S8). The reward may be transferred directly to the poster's account. In addition to this reward, another reward linked to the number of page views may also be provided.

[0022] In this way, the information processing device 1 according to the embodiment can determine rewards based on the evaluation of a posted article, thereby providing appropriate rewards to posters who post high-quality articles that do not see an increase in page views but are highly rated, for example.

[0023] In addition, the user terminal 50 according to the embodiment accepts ratings after the user has finished reading the posted article, thereby eliminating cases where the user rates the posted article without reading it, thereby improving the accuracy of ratings for posted articles.

[0024] Next, a configuration example of an information processing system S according to an embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of an information processing system S according to an embodiment. As shown in Fig. 2, in the information processing system S according to an embodiment, an information processing device 1, a plurality of user terminals 50, and a plurality of poster terminals 100 are connected to a network N by wire or wirelessly. The network N is, for example, a network such as the Internet, a WAN (Wide Area Network), or a LAN (Local Area Network).

[0025] The information processing device 1 is a server that provides various services and executes an information processing method. The services provided by the information processing device 1 include, for example, a news distribution service and a social networking service.

[0026] The user terminal 50 is an information processing device used by a user who wishes to receive a delivery service for posted articles. The user terminal 50 can be any type of terminal device, such as a smartphone, a desktop PC, a notebook PC, or a tablet PC.

[0027] Furthermore, the user terminal 50 can access the information processing device 1 to use the posted article distribution service provided by the information processing device 1.

[0028] The poster terminal 100 is a terminal device used by a poster who posts an article. The poster terminal 100 can be any type of terminal device, such as a smartphone, a desktop PC, a notebook PC, or a tablet PC.

[0029] Next, an example of the configuration of the information processing device 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0030] Fig. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of an information processing device 1 according to an embodiment. As shown in Fig. 3, the information processing device 1 has a communication unit 2, a control unit 3, and a storage unit 4. The control unit 3 includes an acquisition unit 31, a distribution unit 32, a reception unit 33, a determination unit 34, and a provision unit 35. The storage unit 4 stores article information 41.

[0031] The communication unit 2 is realized by, for example, a network interface card (NIC), etc. The communication unit 2 is connected to a network by wire or wirelessly.

[0032] The control unit 3 is a controller, and is realized by a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or an MPU (Micro Processing Unit) executing various programs (corresponding to an example of an information processing program) stored in a storage device inside the information processing device 1 using a RAM or the like as a work area. The control unit 3 is also a controller, and may be realized by an integrated circuit such as an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), or a GPGPU (General Purpose Graphic Processing Unit).

[0033] The storage unit 4 is realized by, for example, a semiconductor memory element such as a RAM (Random Access Memory) or a flash memory, or a storage device such as a hard disk or an optical disk. As shown in FIG. 3, the storage unit 4 has article information 41.

[0034] The article information 41 is information related to a posted article. Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the article information 41. As shown in Fig. 4, the article information 41 includes items such as "article ID," "poster," "article content," and "rating information."

[0035] "Article ID" is identification information that identifies a posted article. "Poster" is information about the poster, such as their name. "Article content" is information about the content of the posted article, such as text data or image data of the posted article. "Rating information" is information about the rating of the posted article, such as the number of rating buttons received as shown in Figure 1 and the number of page views of the posted article.

[0036] Next, each function (acquisition unit 31, distribution unit 32, reception unit 33, determination unit 34, and provision unit 35) of the control unit 3 of the information processing device 1 will be described.

[0037] The acquisition unit 31 acquires various types of information. For example, the acquisition unit 31 acquires information about posted articles from the poster terminal 100. The acquisition unit 31 stores the acquired information about posted articles as article information 41 in the storage unit 4.

[0038] The acquisition unit 31 may also acquire attribute information of the poster and the user who read the posted article. The attribute information includes information about address, age, occupation, hobbies, and the like.

[0039] The distribution unit 32 distributes the posted article acquired by the acquisition unit 31 to the user terminal 50. The distribution unit 32 may distribute the posted article when there is a request to view the posted article from the user terminal 50. Furthermore, the distribution unit 32 may distribute the posted article to the user terminal 50 by push notification as soon as the posted article is uploaded from the poster terminal 100.

[0040] The receiving unit 33 receives a plurality of types of evaluations for a posted article from a user. For example, the receiving unit 33 receives, as the user's evaluation, a selection operation on a plurality of types of evaluation buttons with different evaluation contents shown in FIG.

[0041] The determination unit 34 determines a reward for the poster of the posted article according to the ratings received by the receiving unit 33. For example, the determination unit 34 determines a reward according to the number of ratings received. The number of ratings received may be, for example, the total number of ratings received for each of the three rating buttons shown in FIG. 1, or the number of ratings received for any one rating button. Alternatively, a predetermined weight may be set for each of the three rating buttons in advance, and the total number of ratings received may be calculated by multiplying the weight by the total number of ratings received.

[0042] For example, the determination unit 34 determines the reward according to the ratio of the number of receptions to the number of page views (an example of the number of accesses) of the posted article or the number of users (a number of browsing users: an example of the number of accesses). Alternatively, the determination unit 34 may simply determine the reward according to the number of receptions.

[0043] Furthermore, for example, the determination unit 34 may rank the posts by the poster according to the average number of page views (or average number of user views) of the posts that the poster has posted so far, and determine the reward based on the rank and the number of posts received. For example, the determination unit 34 sets a weight for each rank, and determines the reward according to the value obtained by multiplying the number of posts received by the weight of the rank.

[0044] The determination unit 34 may also analyze the characteristics of the posted article and determine the reward based on the analysis results and the number of received articles. For example, the determination unit 34 may determine the reward by taking into account the analysis results of the posted article, such as the appropriateness of the length of the posted article, the conciseness of the sentence structure, and the appropriateness of the words used.

[0045] Furthermore, the determination unit 34 may determine the reward taking into consideration the attributes of the user who read the posted article. For example, when a car-loving user rates a car-related posted article, the determination unit 34 may value the rating higher (or lower) than a rating from a user who is not a car lover.

[0046] The determination unit 34 may also determine the remuneration taking into consideration the type of article posted. For example, the determination unit 34 may assign a lower weight to low-cost articles such as breaking news articles and TV transcripts, and a higher weight to high-cost articles that required time for research and revision, and determine the remuneration according to the value obtained by multiplying the above-mentioned number of received articles by the weight.

[0047] Furthermore, the determination unit 34 may determine the reward taking into consideration the period from the date and time the posted article was posted to the date and time the evaluation was received. For example, the determination unit 34 may increase (or decrease) the value of the received evaluation as the period from the posting date and time to the evaluation reception date and time is longer.

[0048] The providing unit 35 provides the reward determined by the determining unit 34 to the poster via the poster terminal 100. In addition to the above reward, the providing unit 35 may also provide another reward that is simply linked to the number of page views.

[0049] Next, a configuration example of the user terminal 50 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the user terminal 50 according to the embodiment. As shown in Fig. 5, the user terminal 50 has a communication unit 51, a control unit 52, and a storage unit 53. The control unit 52 has an acquisition unit 521, a display processing unit 522, a detection unit 523, and a reception unit 524.

[0050] The communication unit 51 is realized by, for example, a network interface card (NIC), etc. The communication unit 2 is connected to a network by wire or wirelessly.

[0051] The control unit 52 is a controller, and is realized by a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or an MPU (Micro Processing Unit) executing various programs (corresponding to an example of an information processing program) stored in a storage device inside the information processing device 1 using a RAM or the like as a work area. The control unit 12 is also a controller, and may be realized by an integrated circuit such as an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), or a GPGPU (General Purpose Graphic Processing Unit).

[0052] The storage unit 53 is realized by, for example, a semiconductor memory element such as a random access memory (RAM) or a flash memory, or a storage device such as a hard disk or an optical disk.

[0053] Next, each function (acquisition unit 521, display processing unit 522, detection unit 523, and reception unit 524) of the control unit 52 of the user terminal 50 will be described.

[0054] The acquisition unit 521 acquires various information. For example, the acquisition unit 521 acquires posted articles distributed from the information processing device 1.

[0055] The display processing unit 522 displays the posted article acquired by the acquisition unit 521 on a display unit (not shown) of the user terminal 50.

[0056] The detection unit 523 detects that the user has finished reading the posted article. For example, the detection unit 523 sets a visual field area indicating the user's visual field on the display unit of the user terminal 50, and detects that the user has finished reading the posted article when the visual field area includes the end of a sentence of the posted article.

[0057] Furthermore, the detection unit 523 may take into account the time that has passed since the posted article was displayed in addition to the field of view. For example, the detection unit 523 detects that the posted article has finished reading when the field of view includes the end of a sentence of the posted article and a predetermined time or more has passed since the posted article was displayed. Note that the predetermined time may be a fixed value or may be a time that corresponds to the number of characters.

[0058] The receiving unit 524 can receive a rating for the posted article when the detecting unit 523 detects that the posted article has been read. For example, the receiving unit 524 can receive a rating by displaying multiple types of rating buttons (display components) with different rating contents as shown in FIG.

[0059] It is preferable that the rating button be placed at the end of the posted article, so that the user who operated the rating button can know for sure that they have reached the end of the posted article.

[0060] Furthermore, the reception unit 524 may hide the evaluation button when evaluations cannot be received, and may display the evaluation button when evaluations can be received. When displaying the evaluation button, the reception unit 524 may display the evaluation button, for example, by an animation display.

[0061] Alternatively, the reception unit 524 may display the evaluation button in a disabled state when the evaluation cannot be received, and may display the evaluation button in a enabled state when the evaluation can be received.

[0062] Furthermore, the reception unit 524 may display the evaluation button in a different manner when it is disabled and when it is enabled.

[0063] In addition, if a predetermined time or more has passed since the rating button was displayed (enabled), the reception unit 524 may determine that the user has no intention of rating the posted article and may hide (or disable) the rating button.

[0064] Next, a processing procedure of the evaluation reception process of the user terminal 50 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 6. Fig. 6 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the evaluation reception process executed by the user terminal 50 according to the embodiment.

[0065] As shown in FIG. 6, the control unit 52 of the user terminal 50 according to the embodiment acquires a posted article from the information processing device 1 (step S101).

[0066] Next, the control unit 52 displays the posted article on the display unit (step S102).

[0067] Next, the control unit 52 determines whether the user has finished reading the posted article (Step S103). If the control unit 52 detects that the user has finished reading the posted article (Step S103: Yes), the control unit 52 displays a rating button (Step S104).

[0068] Next, the control unit 52 receives the user's evaluation of the posted article by the user's selection operation on the evaluation button (step S105), and ends the process.

[0069] On the other hand, in step S103, if the end of reading the posted article is not detected (step S103: No), the control unit 52 determines whether or not the page of the posted article has transitioned to another page (step S106).

[0070] If the control unit 52 detects that a transition to another page has occurred (step S106: Yes), it ends the process, and if the control unit 52 does not detect that a transition to another page has occurred (step S106: No), it proceeds to step S103.

[0071] Next, a processing procedure of the reward providing process of the information processing device 1 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 7. Fig. 7 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the reward providing process executed by the information processing device 1 according to the embodiment.

[0072] 7, the control unit 3 acquires the number of page views (or the number of viewed UBs; the same applies below, so the description is omitted) of a posted article (step S201). Subsequently, the control unit 3 acquires the number of received evaluations (step S202).

[0073] Next, the control unit 3 calculates the ratio of the number of received ratings to the number of page views (step S203). Next, the control unit 3 determines a reward according to the calculated ratio (step S204). Next, the control unit 3 provides the determined reward to the poster (step S205), and ends the process.

[0074] 〔others〕 Furthermore, among the processes described in the above embodiments, some of the processes described as being performed automatically can also be performed manually. Alternatively, all or some of the processes described as being performed manually can be performed automatically using known methods. In addition, the information including the processing procedures, specific names, various data, and parameters shown in the above documents and drawings can be changed as desired unless otherwise specified. For example, the various information shown in each drawing is not limited to the information shown in the drawings.

[0075] Furthermore, the components of each device shown in the figure are conceptual functional components and do 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 depending on various loads, usage conditions, etc.

[0076] For example, part or all of the storage unit 4 shown in Fig. 3 and the storage unit 53 shown in Fig. 5 may not be held by each device, but may be held in a storage server, etc. In this case, each device obtains various pieces of information by accessing the storage server.

[0077] [Hardware configuration] The information processing device (information processing device 1 or user terminal 50) according to the above-described embodiment is realized by, for example, a computer 1000 configured as shown in Fig. 8. Fig. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a hardware configuration. The computer 1000 is connected to an output device 1010 and an input device 1020, and has a configuration in which an arithmetic device 1030, a primary storage device 1040, a secondary storage device 1050, an output IF (Interface) 1060, an input IF 1070, and a network IF 1080 are connected via a bus 1090.

[0078] The arithmetic device 1030 operates based on programs stored in the primary storage device 1040 and secondary storage device 1050, programs read from the input device 1020, and the like, and executes various processes. The primary storage device 1040 is a memory device, such as a RAM, that temporarily stores data used by the arithmetic device 1030 for various calculations. The secondary storage device 1050 is a storage device in which data used by the arithmetic device 1030 for various calculations and various databases are registered, and is realized by a ROM (Read Only Memory), an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), a flash memory, or the like.

[0079] The output IF 1060 is an interface for transmitting information to be output to an output device 1010 that outputs various types of information, such as a monitor or a printer, and is realized by a connector conforming to a standard such as USB (Universal Serial Bus), DVI (Digital Visual Interface), or HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface), etc. The input IF 1070 is an interface for receiving information from various input devices 1020, such as a mouse, keyboard, scanner, etc., and is realized by a USB, etc.

[0080] The input device 1020 may be a device that reads information from, for example, an optical recording medium such as a CD (Compact Disc), a DVD (Digital Versatile Disc), or a PD (Phase Change Rewritable Disk), a magneto-optical recording medium such as an MO (Magneto-Optical disk), a tape medium, a magnetic recording medium, or a semiconductor memory. The input device 1020 may also be an external storage medium such as a USB memory.

[0081] The network IF 1080 receives data from other devices via the network N and sends it to the arithmetic device 1030, and also transmits data generated by the arithmetic device 1030 to other devices via the network N.

[0082] The arithmetic unit 1030 controls the output device 1010 and the input device 1020 via the output IF 1060 and the input IF 1070. For example, the arithmetic unit 1030 loads a program from the input device 1020 or the secondary storage device 1050 onto the primary storage device 1040 and executes the loaded program.

[0083] For example, when the computer 1000 functions as an information processing device (information processing device 1 or user terminal 50), the arithmetic unit 1030 of the computer 1000 realizes the functions of a control unit (control unit 3 or control unit 52) ​​by executing a program loaded onto the primary storage device 1040.

[0084] 〔effect〕 As described above, the information processing device 1 according to the embodiment includes a receiving unit 33 and a determination unit 34. The receiving unit 33 receives multiple types of evaluations for a posted article from a user. The determination unit 34 determines a reward for the poster of the posted article based on the received evaluations. The receiving unit 33 receives a user's selection operation on a display component that displays multiple types of evaluations with different evaluation contents. The determination unit 34 determines a reward based on the number of evaluations received through the selection operation. The determination unit 34 determines a reward based on the ratio of the number of received evaluations to the number of accesses to the posted article. The determination unit 34 ranks posters based on the number of accesses to their past posted articles and determines a reward based on the value obtained by multiplying the number of received evaluations by a weight corresponding to the rank. The determination unit 34 analyzes the characteristics of the posted article and determines a reward based on the analysis results and the evaluation. The determination unit 34 determines a reward based on attribute information of a user who read the posted article and the evaluation. The determination unit 34 assigns a weight to each type of evaluation and determines a reward by taking the weight into account for the evaluation. The determination unit 34 determines the reward by weighting the evaluation according to the type of posted article. The determination unit 34 determines the reward based on the time that has passed since the posted article was posted to the date and time the reception unit 33 received the evaluation. With this configuration, it is possible to provide appropriate rewards to posters.

[0085] As described above, the information processing device 1 according to the embodiment includes the detection unit 523 and the reception unit 524. The detection unit 523 detects that a user has finished reading a posted article. When the detection unit 523 detects that the user has finished reading the posted article, the reception unit 524 enables reception of a rating for the posted article. The detection unit 523 detects that the user has finished reading the posted article when the end of the sentence of the posted article is included in a predetermined field of view of the user. The detection unit 523 detects that the user has finished reading the posted article when a predetermined time or more has elapsed since the posted article was displayed. When the detection unit 523 detects that the user has finished reading the posted article, the reception unit 524 enables reception of a rating for the posted article by displaying a display component indicating a rating. The display component is displayed at the end of the sentence of the posted article. The reception unit 524 hides the display component when ratings cannot be accepted, and displays the display component when ratings can be accepted. When displaying the display component when ratings can be accepted, the reception unit 524 displays the display component using animation. The reception unit 524 displays the display component in a disabled state when the evaluation cannot be received, and displays the display component in an enabled state when the evaluation can be received. This configuration can improve the accuracy of evaluations for posted articles.

In addition, the information including the processing procedures, specific names, various data, and parameters shown in the above documents and drawings can be changed as desired unless otherwise specified. For example, the various information shown in each drawing is not limited to the information shown in the drawings.

[0088] Furthermore, the components of each device shown in the figure are conceptual functional components and do 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 depending on various loads, usage conditions, etc.
