Time-Based Comment Summaries for News Discussion Changes
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional techniques for providing user comments on news articles lack the ability to offer useful information beyond mere distribution to other users who have viewed the article.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus generates integrated summaries of user comments for a predetermined time period, identifies differences between these summaries, and provides users with information on these differences and their reasons, enhancing the utility of the comments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If user comments are merely distributed to other users who have browsed the news article, then the implementation is simple, but the usefulness of the information provided is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the comment information processing into multiple stages: generating individual comment summaries, creating integrated summaries from multiple comments, extracting difference points between integrated summaries, and identifying reasons for differences. This segmentation transforms raw comment data into progressively more useful information forms, resolving the contradiction between information usefulness and processing complexity by breaking down the complex task into manageable steps
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces integrated summaries as intermediary elements that bridge individual comments and final difference point analysis. These integrated summaries serve as intermediate processing products that consolidate multiple comments into coherent information, enabling the system to provide useful insights without requiring direct complex analysis of all individual comments, thus balancing information value with processing feasibility
2Loss of information
If integrated summaries are generated and compared across different time periods, then actionable insights into comment trends are provided, but the processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent generates integrated summaries at predetermined time periods in advance, creating a time-series dataset of comment trends before analysis is needed. This preliminary generation of integrated summaries allows the system to store pre-processed information that can be quickly compared and analyzed later, reducing the processing time required when trend analysis is actually requested while still providing comprehensive insights into comment evolution over time
Data Source
AI summary
An information processing apparatus according to the present application includes a generation unit, an extraction unit, and a provision unit. The generation unit generates, based on a comment summary serving as a summary of a plurality of comments generated based on a plurality of comments on a content related to one event, the content being provided on a predetermined service, an integrated summary for the one event for each predetermined time period. The extraction unit extracts, based on a first integrated summary generated by the generation unit during a first time period and a second integrated summary generated by the generation unit during a second time period, a difference point between the first integrated summary and the second integrated summary and a reason related to the difference point. The provision unit provides information on the difference point and the reason to a user using the predetermined service.
