Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] Conventionally, as a means of communication among family members living apart, etc., SNS (Social Networking Service) such as a messaging app has been widely used. In addition, a monitoring system for the purpose of checking the safety of the elderly and single people has also been developed.

[0005] However, in conventional services and systems, a discrepancy in recognition is likely to occur between the side seeking information (for example, a parent) and the side providing information (for example, a child) regarding the frequency of communication and the content of the information sought. For example, excessive communication from the side seeking information may make the side providing information feel a psychological burden as an interference. On the other hand, if there is little spontaneous communication from the side providing information, there is concern that the side seeking information may feel不安. Also, for the side providing information, since there is no clear motivation for information provision, there is a possibility that it will be difficult to maintain continuous information sharing.

[0006] Communication systems like the one described in Patent Document 1, while capable of increasing the number of communication operations on the network, have the problem of not being able to eliminate discrepancies in understanding between those seeking information and those providing it, thus failing to realize communication that meets the needs of the users.

[0007] Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and relates to providing an information processing system, an information processing method, and a program that can realize communication that is suited to the needs of users. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The present invention relates to an information processing system comprising a first terminal, a second terminal, and an information processing device capable of communicating with the first terminal and the second terminal via a network, wherein the information processing device includes: a condition receiving unit that receives condition information from the first terminal regarding information provision made by a second user using the second terminal to a first user using the first terminal; a consensus forming unit that transmits the condition information to the second terminal, receives response information to the condition information from the second terminal, and forms an agreement regarding the condition information; an information sharing unit that receives provision information transmitted from the second terminal and outputs the received provision information to the first terminal; an evaluation receiving unit that receives evaluation information regarding the provision information from the first terminal; and a reward granting unit that grants an incentive to the second user based on the evaluation information. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] According to the information processing system of the present invention, information is provided based on prior agreement between users regarding conditional information, thus reducing the psychological burden on the information provider due to interference from the information seeker. Furthermore, since the information provider is given an incentive based on evaluation information of the provided information, continuous motivation for information provision functions. In addition, by mediating the exchange of response information regarding conditional information on the system, formatted agreement formation becomes possible compared to ad-hoc messaging. As a result, communication that is tailored to the needs of users can be realized. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0023] The input unit 240 is for inputting various information to the first terminal 200 and accepts signals from a mouse, keyboard, pointing device, touch display, camera, etc. Operation input to the input unit 240 is transmitted as a command signal to the control unit 210 via the communication bus 260. The control unit 210 can then perform predetermined controls and calculations as needed.

[0024] The output unit 250 displays text and images, and generates information to be displayed on display devices such as CRT displays, liquid crystal displays, organic EL displays, plasma displays, or touch displays.

[0025] 1-3. Second terminal 300 The second terminal 300 is a terminal device used by the information provider user (second user). The second terminal 300 may be a fixed terminal or a mobile terminal implemented by a computer device.

[0032] Furthermore, the registration unit 111 is configured to accept input of user information other than the requesting user information (first user information) and the providing user information (second user information). Other user information includes user ID, name information, name (in kana), nickname information, gender information, date of birth information, telephone number information, email address information, relationship information, age information, postal code information, address information, password information, and facial photo information.

[0033] (Condition reception section 112) The condition receiving unit 112 is configured to receive various condition information. For example, the condition receiving unit 112 is configured to receive condition information regarding information provision made by the providing user (second user) to the requesting user (first user) from the first terminal 200. Furthermore, the condition reception unit 112 is configured to receive selection information from the first terminal 200 regarding the provider user (second user) from whom the requesting user (first user) is requesting information.

[0034] Here, conditional information refers to conditional information regarding the provision of information by the providing user (second user) to the requesting user (first user). Specifically, it preferably includes needs information regarding the content of the information that the requesting user (first user) requests from the providing user (second user), frequency information regarding the frequency of information provision, and compensation condition information for information provision.

[0035] Needs information is not particularly limited as long as it is information requested by the requesting user (first user), but it is preferable to include, for example, information about the provider user's (second user's) private life. Needs information specifically includes information about daily life, meals, social relationships with friends, hobbies and club activities, academics, part-time jobs, plans to return home if living separately, and future career paths. Needs information may be information selected by the requesting user (first user), or it may be information entered by the requesting user (first user) (free-form text information).

[0036] Frequency information refers to information about the frequency with which the requesting user (first user) requests information from the providing user (second user). While not particularly limited, examples of frequency information include the number of information requests per month (monthly requested responses) or the number of information requests per week (weekly requested responses). Furthermore, the frequency information preferably includes frequency information for each type of needs information.

[0037] Reward conditions information refers to information regarding the reward conditions for the providing user (second user) when they provide information. While not limited to specific types of reward conditions information, examples include the amount of reward per information provision or the amount of reward based on the satisfaction level of the provided information.

[0038] (Consensus Building Department 113) The consensus-building unit 113 is configured to be able to form agreements regarding various conditional information. For example, the consensus formation unit 113 is configured to transmit condition information received from the first terminal 200 to the second terminal 300 used by the providing user (second user), and to receive response information to the condition information from the second terminal 300, thereby enabling the formation of an agreement regarding the condition information.

[0039] Here, the response information preferably includes acceptance information for the condition information or change request information requesting a change to the condition information. Specifically, the response information preferably includes acceptance information if the provider user (second user) accepts the condition information, and preferably includes change request information if the provider user (second user) requests a change to the condition information. Furthermore, it is more preferable that the change request information includes information regarding the condition information requested by the provider user (second user).

[0040] Furthermore, the consensus formation unit 113 is configured to form an agreement regarding the modified condition information by, if the response information includes change request information, transmitting the response information received from the second terminal 300 to the first terminal 200, then transmitting the modified condition information received from the first terminal 200 to the second terminal 300, and receiving the response information regarding the modified condition information again from the second terminal 300. Thus, the consensus-building unit 113 is configured to facilitate the exchange of information regarding conditional information between the first terminal 200 and the second terminal 300, thereby enabling the formation of an agreement regarding conditional information.

[0041] Here, "forming an agreement" means that the providing user (second user) accepts the condition information presented by the requesting user (first user). In other words, when the agreement formation unit 113 receives response information containing acceptance information from the second terminal 300 used by the providing user (second user), an agreement regarding the condition information is formed. However, the consensus formation unit 113 is configured to form an agreement on conditional information even in cases other than those described above, for example, if it does not receive response information from the second terminal 300 within a predetermined period after transmitting conditional information to the second terminal, it may deem that an agreement on conditional information has been formed. In such cases, the consensus formation unit 113 may send a consensus formation completion notice, including the (agreed-upon) conditional information, to the second terminal 300 and the first terminal 200. Furthermore, the consensus formation unit 113 is configured to form an agreement on the condition information, even in cases other than those described above, for example, if it does not receive the modified condition information from the first terminal 200 within a predetermined period after sending the response information to the first terminal, it may deem that an agreement on the condition information contained in the response information has been formed. In such a case, the consensus formation unit 113 may send a consensus formation completion notice, including the (agreed-upon) condition information, to the first terminal 200 and the second terminal 300.

Preferably, the notification transmission unit 114 controls the notification timing based on the frequency information included in the condition information. Here, it is preferable that the notification transmission unit 114 is configured to send notifications prompting the provision of information to the second terminal 300 as messages from a virtual character set up on the system. Furthermore, it is even more preferable that the notification transmission unit 114 is configured to send notifications prompting the provision of information to the second terminal 300 as messages from a virtual butler character set up on the system.

[0043] (Information sharing section 115) The information sharing unit 115 is configured to share (output) various types of information. For example, the information sharing unit 115 is configured to receive information sent from the second terminal 300 used by the providing user (second user), and to output (send) the received information to the first terminal 200 used by the requesting user (first user).

[0044] Here, "provided information" refers to information provided by the providing user (second user) to the requesting user (first user). While the provided information is not particularly limited, it is preferable, for example, to include information relating to the private activities of the providing user (second user). The information provided may include, specifically, information about daily life, meals, social relationships with friends, hobbies and club activities, academics, part-time jobs, plans to return home if living separately, and future career paths. The format of the information provided may include images, audio, text, or a combination thereof. In other words, the information provided may include image information, audio information, text information, or a combination of these.

[0045] Furthermore, the information sharing unit 115 is configured to output (transmit) the information received from the second terminal 300 to terminals used by users other than the requesting user (first user). Specifically, the information sharing unit 115 accepts the selection of additional users to whom the information will be sent from the second terminal 300, and is configured to output the information to terminals used by the selected users.

[0046] (Evaluation receiving unit 116) The evaluation receiving unit 116 is configured to receive various types of evaluation information. For example, the evaluation receiving unit 116 is configured to receive evaluation information regarding the provided information from the first terminal 200 used by the requesting user (first user).

[0047] Here, evaluation information refers to evaluation information regarding the provided information transmitted from the second terminal 300 used by the providing user (second user). The evaluation information is not particularly limited, but it preferably includes evaluation result information indicating satisfaction with the provided information, and more preferably includes evaluation result information indicating satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the provided information. The evaluation result information may have multiple levels, such as a 5-point rating scale. Furthermore, it is preferable that the evaluation information includes reward result information calculated based on the evaluation result information. The reward result information is preferably calculated by multiplying the reward (incentive) per information provision by the number of information provisions, for example, by the evaluation result information. Incorporating the evaluation result information could include, for example, multiplying by the percentage of those who were satisfied with the evaluation result information.

[0048] (Evaluation transmission unit 117) The evaluation transmission unit 117 is configured to transmit various types of evaluation information. For example, the evaluation transmission unit 117 is configured to transmit evaluation information received from the first terminal 200 used by the requesting user (first user) to the second terminal 300 used by the providing user (second user). Specifically, it is preferable that the evaluation transmission unit 117 is configured to generate an evaluation information email containing evaluation information and to send the generated evaluation information email to the second terminal 300.

[0049] (Reward distribution section 118) The reward distribution unit 118 is configured to be able to provide various rewards (incentives). For example, the reward granting unit 118 is configured to grant incentives to the providing user (second user) using the second terminal 300 based on evaluation information received from the first terminal 200 used by the requesting user (first user). More preferably, when the evaluation information includes evaluation result information indicating satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the provided information, the reward granting unit 118 grants an incentive to the providing user (second user) if the evaluation result information indicates satisfaction, and does not grant an incentive to the providing user (second user) if the evaluation result information indicates dissatisfaction.

[0050] Here, "incentive" refers to a unit that can be exchanged for rewards such as electronic gifts, electronic payment balances, or crypto assets, for example, points. The timing at which the reward distribution unit 118 distributes the incentive is not particularly limited, but examples include immediate distribution, same-day distribution, next-week distribution, and next-month distribution. Among these, the timing at which the reward distribution unit 118 distributes the incentive is preferably next-month distribution.

[0051] (Exchange processing unit 119) The exchange processing unit 119 is configured to be able to exchange various incentives for rewards. For example, the exchange processing unit 119 is configured to exchange the incentives granted by the reward granting unit 118 for rewards such as electronic gifts, electronic payment balances, or crypto assets in cooperation with an external partner system. Rewards are not particularly limited, but specific examples include cash, electronic money, cryptocurrency, goods, prizes, etc.

[0098] 4. Effects Section 4 will describe the effects and advantages of this embodiment.

[0099] The information processing system 1 according to this embodiment comprises a first terminal 200, a second terminal 300, and an information processing device 100 that can communicate with the first terminal 200 and the second terminal 300 via a network NW. The information processing device 100 includes a condition receiving unit 112 that receives condition information from the first terminal 200 regarding information provision made by a second user using the second terminal 300 to a first user using the first terminal 200, a consensus forming unit 113 that transmits the condition information to the second terminal 300 and receives response information to the condition information from the second terminal 300 to form an agreement regarding the condition information, an information sharing unit 115 that receives the provided information transmitted from the second terminal 300 and outputs the received provided information to the first terminal 200, an evaluation receiving unit 116 that receives evaluation information regarding the provided information from the first terminal 200, and a reward granting unit 118 that grants an incentive to the second user based on the evaluation information. This allows for information provision and incentives to be given based on agreements between users regarding conditional information, thereby enabling communication that is tailored to the needs of the users.

[0100] In the information processing system 1 according to this embodiment, the condition information includes needs information regarding the content of the information that the first user requests from the second user, frequency information regarding the frequency of information provision, and compensation condition information for information provision. As a result, information provision and compensation are made based on agreements between users regarding more detailed condition information, thereby enabling communication that is better suited to the needs of the users.

[0101] In the information processing system 1 according to this embodiment, if the response information includes change request information requesting a change to the condition information, the consensus formation unit 113 transmits the response information to the first terminal 200 and mediates the exchange of information regarding the condition information between the first terminal 200 and the second terminal 300, thereby forming an agreement regarding the condition information. As a result, even if the needs of the users do not match, information exchange continues until an agreement is reached between the users, thereby enabling communication that is better suited to the needs of the users.

[0102] In the information processing system 1 according to this embodiment, the information processing device 100 further includes a notification transmission unit 114 that sends a notification to the second terminal 300 prompting the provision of information based on agreed-upon conditional information. This promotes the provision of information based on agreements between users, thereby enabling communication that is better suited to the needs of the users.

[0103] In the information processing system 1 according to this embodiment, the evaluation information includes evaluation result information indicating satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the provided information. The reward granting unit 118 grants an incentive if the evaluation result information indicates satisfaction, and does not grant an incentive if the evaluation result information indicates dissatisfaction. As a result, the providing user is given an incentive according to the providing user's evaluation result information regarding the provided information, thereby enabling communication that is more in line with the needs of the users.

[0104] In the information processing system 1 according to this embodiment, the information sharing unit 115 accepts the selection of additional users to whom the provided information will be sent from the second terminal 300, and outputs the provided information to the terminal used by the selected users. This eliminates the need for the requesting user to share the provided information with other users, thereby enabling communication that is better suited to the needs of the users.

[0105] The information processing system 1 according to this embodiment further includes an exchange processing unit 119 that exchanges incentives granted by the reward granting unit 118 for rewards including electronic gifts, electronic payment balances, or crypto assets. As a result, the providing user can exchange incentives obtained through information provision for rewards, thereby enabling communication that is more in line with the needs of users.

[0106] In the information processing system 1 according to this embodiment, the consensus formation unit 113 determines that an agreement regarding the condition information has been formed if it does not receive response information from the second terminal 300 within a predetermined period after transmitting condition information to the second terminal 300, and forms an agreement regarding the condition information. As a result, even if the providing user forgets to send approval information regarding the condition information, an agreement can be formed smoothly, thereby realizing communication that is more in line with the needs of the users.
