[Solution] The distribution system 1 has at least one processor, which acquires from a user terminal a request to generate an introduction regarding the content to be distributed, acquires at least one comment on the content in response to the acquisition of the generation request, generates an introduction based on the comment, and outputs the generated introduction on a specified screen related to the content.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a distribution system, a distribution method, and a distribution program. [Background technology]

[0002] Services are being offered that live-stream content consisting of video and audio via a network. In such content-streaming services, viewers post comments on the content in real time, and the posted comments are displayed on the content-streaming screen. Furthermore, in content-streaming services, a technology is known in which, in order to introduce an outline of the content, introduction data is generated based on text information extracted from the content, and the introduction data is displayed, for example, on a content management screen (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2023-122236 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] When deciding whether to view content by referring to a content management screen (e.g., a so-called top screen in a content distribution service), viewers often focus on the distributor (e.g., whether the distributor is famous), and rarely consider the content itself as the basis for their viewing decision. Furthermore, such content distribution services may have an advertising function that allows a viewer to pay a fee to introduce content in order to encourage other users to view it. In introducing content using such an advertising function, even if the viewer can set text for the advertisement, it is rare for text to be used to introduce the content.

[0005] The present disclosure aims to provide a content distribution service with a function that allows a user to decide whether to view or not based on the content. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] A distribution system according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes at least one processor, which acquires from a user terminal a request for generating an introduction regarding content to be distributed, acquires at least one comment on the content in response to the acquisition of the generation request, generates an introduction based on the comment, and outputs the generated introduction on a specified screen related to the content.

[0007] According to this aspect, in response to a request to generate an introduction for the content, a comment posted by a user on the content is acquired. The comment reflects the content of the content. Then, an introduction is generated based on the comment, and the generated introduction is output on a predetermined screen, allowing a user deciding whether to view the content to obtain information about the content. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, it is possible to provide a content distribution service with a function that allows a user to decide whether to view or not based on the content. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0010] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of the drawings, the same or equivalent elements are designated by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will be omitted.

[0011] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of application of a distribution system 1 according to an embodiment. In this example, the distribution system 1 includes a distribution server 10. The distribution server 10 is a computer that provides a service for distributing content. The distribution system 1 is configured to be able to communicate with one or more user terminals 20 and a database group 30 via a communication network N. The communication network N may be configured to include the Internet or an intranet.

[0012] The user terminal 20 is a computer used by a user. The user terminal 20 has a function of accessing the distribution system 1 to view content and a function of requesting the generation of an introduction for the content. The user terminal 20 may be a portable terminal such as a high-performance mobile phone (smartphone), a tablet terminal, a wearable terminal (e.g., a head-mounted display (HMD), smart glasses, etc.), a laptop personal computer, or a mobile phone. Alternatively, the user terminal 20 may be a stationary terminal such as a desktop personal computer.

[0013] The database group 30 is, for example, a collection of one or more databases that store data used to provide a content distribution service. In one example, the database group 30 includes a content database 31.

[0014] The content database 31 is a non-transitory storage device that stores information related to content distribution services. If the content to be provided is a moving image, the content database 31 stores the moving image data. If the content is a live broadcast moving image, the content database 31 may temporarily store (buffer) the moving image. The content database 31 may also store comments on the content from users who are viewing the content.

[0015] The databases of the database group 30 may be components of the distribution system 1 or may be provided in a computer system separate from the distribution system 1.

[0016] 2 is a diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of the distribution system 1 and the user terminal 20. FIG. 2 shows a server computer 100 functioning as the distribution server 10 and a terminal computer 200 functioning as the user terminal 20.

[0017] As an example, the server computer 100 includes, as hardware components, a processor 101, a main memory 102, an auxiliary memory 103, and a communication unit 104. The processor 101 is a computing device that executes an operating system and application programs, such as a central processing unit (CPU) or a graphics processing unit (GPU). The main memory 102 is a device that stores programs to be executed, calculation results, etc., and is configured, for example, by read-only memory (ROM) or random access memory (RAM). The auxiliary memory 103 is generally a device that can store larger amounts of data than the main memory 102, and is configured, for example, by a non-volatile storage medium such as a hard disk or flash memory. The auxiliary memory 103 stores a server program P1 and various data for causing the server computer 100 to function as the distribution server 10. The communication unit 104 is a device that executes data communication with other computers via the communication network N, and is configured, for example, by a network card or a wireless communication module.

[0018] The distribution program according to the present disclosure is implemented as a server program P1. Each functional element of the distribution server 10 is realized by loading the corresponding server program P1 onto the processor 101 or the main memory unit 102 and having the processor 101 execute the program. The server program P1 includes code for realizing each functional element of the distribution server 10. The processor 101 operates the communication unit 104 in accordance with the server program P1 and executes reading and writing of data from and to the main memory unit 102 or the auxiliary memory unit 103.

[0019] The distribution server 10 may be configured with one or more computers. When multiple computers are used, these computers are connected to each other via a communication network N to logically configure a single distribution server 10.

[0020] As an example, the terminal computer 200 includes, as hardware components, a processor 201, a main memory 202, an auxiliary memory 203, a communication unit 204, an input interface 205, and an output interface 206. The processor 201 is a computing device that executes an operating system and application programs, such as a CPU or GPU. The main memory 202 is a device that stores programs to be executed, calculation results, etc., and is composed of, for example, ROM or RAM. The auxiliary memory 203 is generally a device that can store larger amounts of data than the main memory 202, and is composed of, for example, a non-volatile storage medium such as a hard disk or flash memory. The auxiliary memory 203 stores a client program P2 and various data for causing the terminal computer 200 to function as a user terminal 20. The communication unit 204 is a device that executes data communication with other computers via the communication network N, and is composed of, for example, a network card or a wireless communication module. The input interface 205 is a device that accepts data based on user operations or actions, and is composed of at least one of a keyboard, operation buttons, a pointing device, a touch panel, a microphone, a sensor, and a camera. The output interface 206 is a device that outputs data processed by the terminal computer 200, and is composed of a display device such as a monitor, a touch panel, or an HMD.

[0021] The distribution program according to the present disclosure may be implemented as a client program P2. Each functional element of the user terminal 20 is realized by loading the client program P2 into the processor 201 or the main memory unit 202 and having the processor 201 execute the program. The client program P2 includes code for realizing each functional element of the user terminal 20. The processor 201 operates the communication unit 204, the input interface 205, or the output interface 206 in accordance with the client program P2, and executes reading and writing of data from and to the main memory unit 202 or the auxiliary memory unit 203.

[0022] At least one of the server program P1 and the client program P2 may be provided in the form of a non-transitory recording medium such as a CD-ROM, a DVD-ROM, a semiconductor memory, etc. Alternatively, at least one of these programs may be provided via the communication network N as a data signal superimposed on a carrier wave.

[0023] FIG. 3 shows the functional configuration of the distribution system 1 and the user terminal 20. As shown in FIG. 3, the distribution server 10 includes a content distribution unit 11, a request acquisition unit 12, a comment acquisition unit 13, a generation unit 14, and an output unit 15. The generation unit 14 is configured to be able to input instructions (prompts) to the large-scale language model md and to acquire text data output from the large-scale language model md. The large-scale language model md may be configured in the distribution server 10 as shown in FIG. 3, or may be configured in another server accessible from the distribution server 10. The user terminal 20 includes, as functional components, a content display unit 21 and a request unit 22. Each functional unit will be described below.

[0024] The content distribution unit 11 distributes content. Specifically, the content distribution unit 11 transmits content to the user terminal 20 in response to a viewing request from the user terminal 20. The content may be a live broadcast program provided by a distributor, or may be video content created and saved in advance. The video content may be stored in the content database 31.

[0025] The content display unit 21 of the user terminal 20 receives the content transmitted from the distribution server 10 and displays it for viewing by the user. Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a screen of the user terminal 20 on which the distributed content is displayed. As shown in Fig. 4, the content display unit 21 displays the content ct of the live broadcast video on the display screen D1.

[0026] The content distribution unit 11 acquires comments on the content sent from the user terminals 20 of users who have viewed the content. The comments acquired here are reactions from users who have viewed the content, and therefore there is a high probability that the content content is reflected in the comments.

[0027] The content distribution unit 11 associates the acquired comments with the content, stores them in the content database 31, and displays them on the distribution screen of the content. As shown in Fig. 4, the content distribution unit 11 displays the received comments cm alongside the content ct on the display screen D1.

[0028] The content distribution service to which the distribution system 1 of this embodiment is applied has an advertising function in which a viewer pays a fee to introduce content in order to encourage other users to view it. A user who wishes to introduce content using this function transmits an advertisement submission request to the distribution system 1 via a user terminal 20. Specifically, a request unit 22 of the user terminal 20 transmits a request to generate an introduction about the content to the distribution server 10. Then, a request acquisition unit 12 acquires the request to generate an introduction about the content from the user terminal 20.

[0029] The comment acquisition unit 13 acquires at least one comment cm for the content in response to acquisition of a generation request. In the distribution system 1 of this embodiment, comments for the content are used to generate an introduction that reflects the content of the content. The comment acquisition unit 13 acquires the comment cm for the content ct as information that is highly likely to reflect the content of the content ct. Specifically, the comment acquisition unit 13 acquires comments stored in the content database 31.

[0030] The comment acquisition unit 13 may acquire at least one comment cm that has been input to the content ct within a predetermined time period before the generation request is acquired. The comment cm posted within a predetermined time period before the generation request is acquired reflects the current situation in the distribution of the content ct in real time. By acquiring such comments, it is possible to generate an introduction that reflects the current situation. Furthermore, the comment acquisition unit 13 may acquire a given number of comments cm that have been posted most recently before the generation request is acquired.

[0031] The comment acquiring unit 13 may acquire a given number of comments from among all the comments cm input for the content ct. Alternatively, the comment acquiring unit 13 may acquire all the comments cm from among all the comments cm input for the content ct. This makes it possible to acquire comments cm that appropriately reflect the reactions of users who have viewed the content ct.

[0032] The comment acquisition unit 13 may determine that it is impossible to generate an introductory text if the number of acquired comments (CM) is less than a given number. It is preferable that an introductory text be generated based on a certain number of comments or more, and the comment acquisition unit 13 determines whether or not to generate an introductory text based on the number of acquired comments (CM). For example, by setting the timing of the billing process for the user introducing the content after determining whether or not to generate an introductory text, it is possible to prevent processing that assumes the output of an introductory text (such as billing the user introducing the content) from being performed even when it is impossible to generate an introductory text. The comment acquisition unit 13 may notify the user terminal 20 of a message indicating the result of the determination on whether or not to generate an introductory text.

[0033] The generation unit 14 generates an introductory text based on the comment. In the distribution system 1 of this embodiment, the generation unit 14 generates the introductory text using the large-scale language model md. Specifically, the generation unit 14 generates an instruction sentence for causing the large-scale language model md to generate the introductory text based on the acquired comment.

[0034] 5 is a diagram showing an example of a prompt for generating an introduction generated by the generating unit 14. The prompt PT shown in FIG. 5 includes prompt portions pt1 to pt6.

[0035] The instruction portion pt1 includes a text sentence for instructing the large-scale language model md to generate an introductory text. The instruction portion pt2 has a comment acquired by the comment acquisition unit 13 embedded therein. That is, the generation unit 14 may generate the prompt PT by embedding the comment cm acquired by the comment acquisition unit 13 into the instruction portion pt2 based on a prompt PT template prepared in advance with the instruction portion pt2 for writing the comment cm left blank.

[0036] The instruction section pt3 includes an example of an introductory text to be referred to as a reference when generating an introductory text. The generation unit 14 may allow the user to select an example of an introductory text to be written in the instruction section pt3. Specifically, the generation unit 14 transmits a plurality of options (examples of introductory text) representing the style of the introductory text to the user terminal 20 and causes the user terminal 20 to display them. The user terminal 20 displays the options of a plurality of example introductory texts, and upon receiving a user selection input for one or more of the displayed options, returns information indicating the accepted options to the distribution server 10. The generation unit 14 sets the selected example of an introductory text in the instruction section pt3 in response to the response from the user terminal 20. This makes it possible to generate an introductory text introducing content in a style desired by the user. The text written in the instruction section pt3 is not limited to an example of an introductory text, and may be text that describes the style of the introductory text to be generated in a written form.

[0037] The instruction portion pt4 is text for instructing the large-scale language model md on the purpose of generating the introduction. Note that the description of the instruction portion pt4 may be set in advance as a template of the prompt PT.

[0038] The instruction part pt5 is text for instructing the large-scale language model md on the target users to whom the content ct is to be introduced. Note that the description of the instruction part pt5 may be set in advance as a template of the prompt PT, or may be set based on an input by the user.

[0039] The instruction section pt6 is text for instructing the large-scale language model MD on constraints for generating an introductory text. The instruction section pt6 may include the number of characters in the introductory text to be generated and other constraints. The instruction section pt6 may also include conditions regarding the comments cm used to generate the introductory text, such as a constraint that comments cm with fewer than a predetermined number of characters should not be used.

[0040] In this way, the generation unit 14 may filter the comments used to generate the introduction text using the constraints included in the prompt PT. Alternatively, the generation unit 14 may filter the comments cm used to generate the introduction text by extracting comments that match a predetermined rule from the multiple comments acquired by the comment acquisition unit 13, and embedding only the extracted comments in the prompt PT (for example, the instruction part pt2).

[0041] In this way, by setting appropriate constraints in advance in the prompt PT, or by setting rules for comment extraction, it becomes possible to generate an introduction based only on comments that are suitable for generating an introduction.

[0042] The generation unit 14 inputs the generated prompt PT into the large-scale language model md, and then acquires the introductory text generated by the large-scale language model md in response to the input of the prompt PT.

[0043] The generation unit 14 may generate multiple introductory sentence candidates. Specifically, the generation unit 14 may cause the large-scale language model md to generate multiple introductory sentences by setting text instructing the generation of multiple introductory sentences (for example, five) in, for example, an instruction portion pt1 of the prompt PT.

[0044] When multiple introductory sentences are generated, the generation unit 14 transmits multiple introductory sentence candidates to the user terminal 20 and displays them. Fig. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a screen on which the generated introductory sentence candidates are displayed. As exemplified in Fig. 6, the display screen D2 displayed on the user terminal 20 includes five introductory sentence candidates cd.

[0045] The user terminal 20 accepts a selection input from the user for one or more of the multiple candidate introduction sentences, and returns information identifying the selected candidate introduction sentence to the distribution system 1. The generation unit 14 extracts one or more of the multiple candidate introduction sentences in accordance with the information identifying the candidate introduction sentence returned from the user terminal 20. This makes it possible to display an introduction sentence that meets the wishes of the user introducing the content.

[0046] The output unit 15 outputs the introductory text generated by the generation unit 14 on a predetermined screen related to the content ct. In addition, the output unit 15 may output an introductory text selected by the user from a plurality of introductory text candidates on the user terminal 20.

[0047] The output unit 15 may display the generated introductory text on a predetermined site related to the content ct. Figures 7 and 8 are diagrams showing examples of screens on which the introductory text is displayed on a predetermined site related to the content ct.

[0048] 7, the output unit 15 may display the introductory text A1 on a so-called top page D3 of the content distribution service. The top page D3 is a screen that manages multiple contents, and displays, for example, thumbnails of each content, and is a screen that is viewed by many users of the distribution service.

[0049] In this way, the generated introduction can be displayed on a specified site (for example, the top page of a site that manages the content), making many users aware of the content and encouraging them to view the content.

[0050] The output unit 15 may also display the generated introductory text on the screen of the content ct. Fig. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a screen on which an introductory text is displayed in the content ct. As shown in Fig. 8, the output unit 15 may display an introductory text A2 on a display screen D4 of the content ct that is the subject of the introductory text.

[0051] In this way, the generated introduction text is displayed on the screen of the content ct being distributed, making it possible for the distributor and viewers of the content ct to recognize that the content has been introduced, and further encouraging communication between the distributor of the content ct and the introducer of the content ct.

[0052] Next, an example of a distribution method in the distribution system 1 will be described with reference to Fig. 9. Fig. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing flow of the distribution method.

[0053] In step S1, the content distribution unit 11 distributes content. The content distribution unit 11 also receives comments on the content sent from the user terminal 20 of a user who has viewed the content. When a comment is received, the content distribution unit 11 associates the acquired comment with the content, stores the comment in the content database 31, and displays the comment on the distribution screen of the content.

[0054] In step S2, the request acquisition unit 12 determines whether or not a request to generate an introduction about the content has been sent from the user terminal 20. If it is determined that a generation request has been sent from the user terminal 20, the request acquisition unit 12 acquires the generation request. Then, the process proceeds to step S3.

[0055] In step S3, the comment acquisition unit 13 acquires at least one comment cm on the content in response to the acquisition of the generation request.

[0056] In step S4, the generation unit 14 generates a prompt PT (instruction sentence) for causing the large-scale language model md to generate an introductory sentence based on the acquired comment. In step S5, the generation unit 14 inputs the generated prompt PT into the large-scale language model md. Then, in step S6, the generation unit 14 acquires the introductory sentence generated by the large-scale language model md in response to the input of the prompt PT.

[0057] In step S7, the output unit 15 outputs the introductory text generated by the generation unit 14 on a predetermined screen related to the content ct. The output unit 15 may display the introductory text on a top page of the content distribution service, or may display the generated introductory text on the screen of the content ct.

[0058] According to the distribution system 1, distribution method, and distribution program (server program P1, terminal program P2) of the present embodiment described above, comments posted by users on content are acquired in response to a request to generate an introduction for the content. The comments reflect the content of the content. Then, an introduction is generated based on the comments, and the generated introduction is output on a predetermined screen, allowing the user deciding whether to view the content to obtain information about the content.

[0059] The present invention has been described in detail above based on the embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various modifications of the present invention are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0060] The internal configuration of the distribution system 1 is not limited to the above embodiment, and may be designed according to any policy.

For example, by setting the timing of the billing process for the user who introduces the content after determining whether or not to generate the introduction, it is possible to prevent processing that assumes the output of the introduction (for example, billing the user who introduces the content) from being performed even when it is impossible to generate the introduction.

[0085] According to the aspect shown in Supplementary Note 6, it is possible to display an introduction that meets the wishes of the user introducing the content.

[0086] According to the aspect described in Supplementary Note 7, it is possible to generate an introduction in a style desired by the user introducing the content.

[0087] According to the aspect shown in Appendix 8, the generated introduction text is displayed on a predetermined site (e.g., the top page of a site that manages the content), thereby making many users aware of the content and encouraging them to view the content.

[0088] According to the aspect shown in Appendix 9, the generated introduction text is displayed on the screen of the content being distributed, thereby making the content distributor and viewers aware that the content has been introduced, and further encouraging communication between the content distributor and the content introducer.

[0089] According to the aspect described in Supplementary Note 10, by setting appropriate predetermined conditions in advance, it becomes possible to generate an introduction based only on comments that are suitable for generating an introduction. [Explanation of symbols]
