Description

  The present invention relates to a server device, a control method thereof, a program, and an information processing system.

  In amateur and minor sports, it is very difficult for athletes and teams to receive financial assistance from outside. Since it is difficult to receive financial assistance, it is common for athletes of these competitions to have separate jobs for securing game venues, purchasing tools, etc., and for their own lives. This situation is very painful for athletes, it is difficult to continue the competition for many years, and there are many promising athletes who retire at a young age. In addition, it is difficult for the organizing organizations such as minor competitions to secure funds, and the number of industry and games has decreased, leading to a decrease in the competition population, making it difficult for promising players to be born. Yes.

  On the other hand, in the industry and game venues, a “twist” may be given to the players from the audience. This “twist” is given to the target player by the audience who is impressed by the game or the like. However, even if the audience is impressed with the game and wants to give a “twist”, it may be difficult to give it directly to the player. In Patent Document 1, when a performer performs a performance such as a performance at a restaurant, etc., a “twist” for the performer is input on the terminal from the terminal of each table and is collected at the time of accounting for the restaurant. A method has been proposed.

JP2013-4011A

  However, the above prior art has the following problems. For example, in the above-described prior art, only “twist” is added to the food and beverage charges at restaurants and the like, and the amount is collected at the time of accounting. However, some amateur and minor competitions have hundreds or thousands of spectators. In such a competition, it is difficult to collect a “twist” from each spectator. In addition, as a result of watching the game, it is impressed and a “twist” is handed over, so the amount cannot be included in the admission ticket etc. before the game.

  There is also a need for companies that want to sponsor such players and teams. However, for this company, whether or not to enter into a sponsorship contract in consideration of the corporate strategy based on detailed evaluations of players and teams, such as popularity (influence) by gender, age group, and region. However, there is no suitable way to obtain such information for athletes and teams in amateur and minor competitions. In addition, there are players and teams whose popularity is rapidly increasing nationwide or locally as a result of being televised from the history of international matches. Such real-time information is also important information for companies, but there is no suitable method for obtaining it. Therefore, the construction of a mechanism for promoting sponsorship contracts in such a situation is also an important issue.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems. While suitably collecting “twist” for players and teams, the impression received by the audience is evaluated, and the degree of influence of the players and the like is evaluated. The purpose is to provide a mechanism for sending information to the outside.

  The present invention is, for example, a server device, which obtains input information including at least one of information related to a player's twist and impression by a spectator who watched a player's game, and obtained by the obtaining unit. Evaluation means for evaluating the input information for each player, and provision means for providing the evaluation information evaluated by the evaluation means to the outside are provided.

  Further, the present invention is an information processing system including, for example, a server device, an information processing device, and an external terminal, wherein the information processing device receives receiving screen information from the server device; Display means for displaying an input screen for inputting input information including at least one of a twist and impression on the player by a spectator who has watched the player's game on the web browser according to the screen information received by the means; Transmission means for transmitting the input information input via the input screen to the server device, the server device providing the screen information of the input screen to the information processing device for display A control unit; an acquisition unit that acquires the input information transmitted by the transmission unit; and the input information acquired by the acquisition unit. Characterized in that the provided evaluation means for evaluating for each player, and providing means for providing evaluation information evaluated by said evaluating means to an external terminal.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to evaluate the impression received by the audience while appropriately collecting “twist” for players and teams, evaluate the degree of influence of the players, etc., and transmit it to the outside.

<Overall sequence>
Next, the entire sequence of the information processing system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 5A and 5B. The following is broadly divided into the sequence when players or teams register with this system (registration sequence), the sequence when spectators and others enter “twist” and impression points (input sequence), and inquiries from sponsor companies. The four sequences of a sequence for notifying evaluation information of players and the like (sponsor sequence) and a sequence for updating the evaluation of players and the like to the site (site update sequence) will be described in order.

<Registration sequence>
First, the registration sequence will be described with reference to FIG. 5A. A player or the like performs registration to the system via the PC 106. Registration is started in S500. In step S501, the PC 106 accesses the site server 107 and requests information on a registration screen. Here, the PC 106 functions as a Web browser, and accesses the site server 107 in order to acquire screen information (HTML information) such as a Web page provided by the site server 107. It is assumed that before the registration screen is displayed on the PC 106, the screen information of the Web page created by the site server 107 is transmitted to the PC 106, and there is access to acquire the registration screen from the PC 106 via the displayed screen. . However, FIG. 5A shows a sequence in the case where an operation for changing from the Web page to the registration screen is performed by a user (player) operating the PC 106, for the sake of simplicity.

  When the access from the PC 106 is accepted, in S502, the site server 107 requests the screen information of the registration screen 1600, which will be described later with reference to FIG. In step S <b> 503, the system server 101 transmits screen information on the registration screen 1600 to the site server 107. In step S <b> 504, the site server 107 transmits the screen information received from the system server 101 to the PC 106 and displays a registration screen 1600 on the Web browser of the PC 106.

  In step S <b> 505, when the PC 106 receives user input (registration information) via the registration screen 1600, the PC 106 notifies the site server 107 of the registration information. In step S <b> 506, the site server 107 transfers the received registration information to the system server 101. In S507, the system server 101 registers the registration information in the database 108, registers the player or team in the system, and ends the registration sequence. The registration contents will be described later with reference to FIGS. 9A and 16.

<Input sequence>
Next, an input sequence will be described with reference to FIG. 5A. In S510, a game or the like is held and the game is distributed or watched by the audience at the game venue. The distribution may be a television broadcast, a radio broadcast, or a net distribution, and the form of distribution is not limited. Here, the spectator who watched the game may be moved through a game or the like, and may want to give a “twist” to the target player or team. This system provides a mechanism to collect “twist” for players or teams registered in such cases. Further, in addition to collecting the “twist” or instead, information (impression points) indicating the degree of impression received by the audience is collected.

  Specifically, the PC 103 or the mobile terminal 104 accesses the Web page provided by the site server 107 in response to the audience operation, and requests screen information on the input screen for inputting the “twist” and the impression point. To do. Here, on the Web page, first, the screen shown in FIG. 11 or 12 is displayed. The screen is a screen related to a game or the like provided by the site server 107 and is displayed on the Web browser of the PC 103 or the mobile terminal 104. When a predetermined operation is accepted on the screen, the screen can transit to an input screen for inputting “twist” or an emotional point to the target player. The predetermined operation will be described later with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12. Details of the input screen 700 will be described later with reference to FIG. When the input screen request is received, the site server 107 requests the screen information of the input screen 700 from the system server 101 in S512.

  In step S <b> 513, the system server 101 provides the screen information of the input screen 700 to the site server 107. In step S <b> 514, the site server 107 displays the input screen 700 on the Web browser of the PC 103 or the mobile terminal 104 using the screen information received from the system server 101.

  In step S <b> 515, the PC 103 or the mobile terminal 104 receives an input of a “twist” or an impression point from the audience via the input screen 700, and notifies the site server 107 of the input information. Here, it is assumed that the input information includes information for identifying the user (audience) in addition to the information regarding “twist” and the impression point. In step S516, the site server 107 notifies the received input information to the system server 101.

  In step S517, the system server 101 analyzes and evaluates the acquired input information. Details of the analysis and evaluation will be described later. Thereafter, in S518, the system server 101 stores the input information and the evaluation result in the database 108. In addition, although embodiment mentioned before performing analysis and evaluation in the database 108 was demonstrated here, this invention is not limited to this. For example, when the input information is acquired, it may be simply accumulated in the database 108 and read out from the database 108 for analysis and evaluation when the evaluation result of the input information is necessary.

  Thereafter, in S519, a settlement process related to “twist” is performed on the players and teams corresponding to the received input information. The payment process is a general payment process and will not be described in detail here.

<Sponsor sequence>
Next, the sponsor sequence will be described with reference to FIG. 5B. The sponsor company can access the system server 101 of this system by the external terminal 102 and search for information as determination information for signing a sponsor contract with a player or the like. Here, a sequence for providing the player and team evaluation information by accessing the site server 107 from the company side will be described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the company or media that is regularly contracted from the system server 101. Etc., the evaluation information of the players and teams may be notified.

  In step S <b> 521, the external terminal 102 accesses the system server 101 and requests information in order to search for evaluation information such as players. Here, although the external terminal 102 directly accesses the system server 101, it may be accessed via a Web page provided by the site server 107, similarly to the registration sequence and input sequence described above. Further, when requesting the information, for example, it is performed via a screen 931 shown in FIG. 9C. In this case, request information indicating what information is requested is notified to the system server 101. In step S522, the system server 101 accesses the database 108 based on the request information and acquires necessary information. Subsequently, in S523, the system server 101 analyzes and evaluates the acquired information. Details of the analysis and evaluation will be described later. If information that has already been analyzed and evaluated is stored in the database 108, the process of S523 may be skipped. In step S <b> 524, the system server 101 provides information requested from the external terminal 102 to the external terminal 102. Details of the providing method and the information to be provided will be described later.

  In S525, on the basis of the provided information, the company determines, for example, a player who is popular or influential with respect to the customer group targeted for the company's business or product, A sponsor contract can be signed.

<Site update sequence>
Next, the site update sequence will be described with reference to FIG. 5B. This sequence is also started by a request for information from the site server 107 in the same manner as the sponsor sequence. However, information may be periodically notified from the system server 101 side to the site server 107 to prompt the user to update the contents of the Web page.

  In step S531, the site server 107 requests the system server 101 for information for updating the Web page. The information required here is information on registered players and teams. The information includes evaluation information obtained by analyzing and evaluating input information of “twist” and impression points. On the Web page operated by the site server 107, when players or teams register themselves in this system, when the spectator enters “twist” or impression points, the sponsor company provides evaluation information about the players, etc. Since access is assumed at the time of acquisition, information necessary for updating those access pages is included.

  In step S532, the system server 101 accesses the database 108 based on the request information, and acquires necessary information. Subsequently, in S533, the system server 101 analyzes and evaluates the acquired information. Details of the analysis and evaluation will be described later. If information that has already been analyzed and evaluated is stored in the database 108, the process of S533 may be skipped. In step S534, the system server 101 provides the site server 107 with the information requested from the site server 107. In S535, the site server 107 updates the content of the Web page based on the acquired information.

<Registration process>
Next, with reference to FIG. 6A, a processing procedure when a player or the like registers in the system in the system server 101 according to the present embodiment will be described. The processing described below is realized by the CPU 201 reading out a control program stored in the ROM 202 or the HDD 204 to the RAM 203 and executing it.

  In step S <b> 601, the CPU 201 receives an access requesting screen information on a registration screen from the site server 107. In step S <b> 602, the CPU 201 transmits screen information of the requested registration screen to the site server 107. The site server 107 transmits the received screen information to the PC 106 which is a terminal of a player who desires registration, and displays a registration screen on the Web browser of the PC 106.

  Here, the registration screen will be described with reference to FIG. A registration screen 1600 shown in FIG. 16 is a screen for a player who desires registration to input his / her information. Information shown in the underlined portion is information input by a player or the like. Specifically, individual player information can be input in detail, and includes, for example, the player's name, age, gender, battle history, self-PR, and game schedule information. These pieces of information are information posted on a Web page operated by the site server 107. However, the present invention is not intended to limit the contents of the registration screen and the registration information, and may be changed according to system specifications and the like. That is, the content of the registration screen 1600 is an example. The player can register with the input registration information by inputting registration information via the registration screen 1600 and pressing a registration button (not shown).

  Returning to the description of FIG. In step S <b> 603, the CPU 201 receives registration information in which players and the like are confirmed via the site server 107. In step S604, the CPU 201 registers the received registration information in the present system. Specifically, the CPU 201 performs registration by storing information such as players according to the information format of the database 108 according to the registration information received in the database 108. Here, the contents of the database 108 will be described with reference to FIG. 9A.

  The database 108 stores player master information 901 and 902 which are the registration information, information 903 and 904 from the twist system, and user information 905 and 906. Here, an example is shown in which two pieces of information are registered for each piece of information, but this is for simplifying the explanation, and more information is actually stored. The player master information 901 and 902 is information registered by a player or the like via the registration screen 1600. Information 903 and 904 from the twist system is information related to input information input from the audience. For example, the click date and time indicating the input date, the input impression point, the input twist amount, the user identification information, the target player information, the continuous hit rate when inputting the impression point, a support message, Includes the type of terminal entered and the number of simultaneous clicks within the time. However, these pieces of information are examples and are not intended to limit the present invention.

  The user information 905 and 906 indicate input person information. For example, the input person information includes the mail address, address, age, gender, occupation, job type, sport that he / she is doing, interest A certain sport, a favorite player, a favorite genre, the number of times of watching the game, the number of years of interest in the sport, single / married information, income, and information such as a home / rental. However, these pieces of information are examples and are not intended to limit the present invention. The reason why the detailed input person information is acquired in this way is to provide information on which audiences the target player is popular with and influence on the sponsor company. With such information, the sponsor company can easily make a sponsor contract with a player who has an influence on the target layer of their services and products.

  Returning to the description of FIG. In step S <b> 605, the CPU 201 requests the site server 107 to add player information to the Web page operated by the site server 107 in accordance with the registration information registered in the database 108, and ends the process. Note that the processing of S605 does not need to be performed immediately after the processing of S604, that is, the registration information stored in the database 108. Regarding the site update, the timing at which information is requested from the site server 107 may be used, or the system server 101 may periodically request the site update.

<Twist input processing>
Next, with reference to FIG. 6B, a processing procedure when a “twist” or an emotional point is input by a spectator watching a game or the like in the system server 101 according to the present embodiment will be described. The processing described below is realized by the CPU 201 reading out a control program stored in the ROM 202 or the HDD 204 to the RAM 203 and executing it.

  In step S <b> 611, the CPU 201 receives an access requesting screen information of an input screen from the site server 107. The access request for the input screen is generated when a spectator watching the game performs a predetermined operation on the Web page via the Web page provided by the site server 107. Here, details of the predetermined operation will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12.

  FIG. 11 is an example of a Web page on which information on games played by a predetermined group is posted. Here, description will be made on the assumption that the organization is registered in the system. That is, it is possible to accept “twist” and impression points for all players participating in an event (such as a game) held by the group. The web page may be a page managed by the site server 107 or a page managed by the organization. Screen 1100 of the Web page includes a ticket purchase button 1101 for transitioning to a screen (not shown) for purchasing a ticket for a corresponding game, together with information on events held by the group. Furthermore, the screen 1100 includes player information 1104 in each game, a button 1102 for transitioning to a screen for inputting “twist” or an emotional point for each player, and the cumulative total of emotional points already input by the audience in each game. Value. When a button 1102 displayed for each player is pressed, a transition is made to an input screen shown in FIG.

  FIG. 12 is an example of a Web page on which information on team competition matches is posted. Here, the description will be made on the assumption that both teams performing the game are registered in this system. That is, it is possible to accept “twist” and impression points for all players of both teams that participate. The web page may be a page managed by the site server 107 or a page managed by an organization that hosts the game. The screen 1200 of the Web page transitions to a screen for inputting game information, cumulative impression points 1204 including both teams up to now, player information 1201, and “twist” or impression points for each player. Button 1202 to be configured. The screen 1200 also includes a button 1203 for inputting touch points and the like for each team. As shown in FIG. 12, a button for inputting an impression point may also be displayed for a player who is not currently participating in the game. When the buttons 1202 and 1203 are pressed, the screen transitions to an input screen shown in FIG.

  Returning to the description of FIG. In step S <b> 612, the CPU 201 transmits screen information of the requested input screen to the site server 107. The site server 107 transmits the received screen information to the spectator's PC 103 or the portable terminal 104 to display an input screen on the Web browser of the apparatus. Therefore, the CPU 201 is an example of a display control unit.

  Here, the input screen 700 will be described with reference to FIG. An input screen 700 shown in FIG. 7 is a screen on which a spectator impressed through a game or the like inputs an evaluation (degree of twist or impression) for the player. The input screen 700 includes player information 701, accumulated moving points 709 of the player, moving point input buttons 702, a switching button 710 for switching the moving point input unit, and accumulated values 707 of moving points input by the audience operating the input screen. And a gauge 706, an input twist amount 708, and a twist transmission area 703. The torsion transmission area 703 includes a torsion transmission button 704 and a radio button 705 for setting the amount of “twist”. The audience can actually transmit the “twist” by setting the amount of “twist” with the radio button 705 and pressing the send button 704. The input information transmitted via the input screen 700 includes, for example, input person information indicating information on the audience, player information indicating information on the target player, monetary information on “twisting”, and impression points. And information about. Note that the information related to the emotional points includes cumulative emotional points and the repeated hit rate that is information when the emotional points are input, as will be described later. More specifically, the input information corresponds to information 903 and 904 from the twist system stored in the database 108 shown in FIG. 9A.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the upper limit of input impression points may be limited according to the amount of “twist”. As a result, it is possible to tabulate the excitement points linked to the amount of the “twist”, and to perform a more realistic player evaluation. Even when the “twist” is 0 yen, an impression point that can be input by default may be set. The display of the gauge 706 can be changed by the upper limit. Also, privilege information for the corresponding player may be set in accordance with the amount of “twist”. For example, a spectator who inputs a “twist” of 2000 yen is given the right to send a message to the player, and a spectator who receives a “twist” of 5000 yen receives a message from the player. The right may be given, and the right to be invited to the celebration of the player may be given to the spectator who has input a “10,000 yen” “twist”.

  In addition, in the input of touching points, the input unit can be determined, and touching points can be added by repeatedly pressing the input button 702 that can be continuously input. In addition, you may implement | achieve by other operation, such as long press, instead of repeatedly hitting. In the present embodiment, a continuous hit rate indicating the degree of continuous hit is measured and transmitted to the system server 101 via the site server 107. Here, the example in which the impression point and “twist” are notified to the system server as input information has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to the input screen shown in FIG. 7 and other input information can be transmitted. Good.

  Returning to the description of FIG. In step S <b> 613, the CPU 201 receives input information input by the audience via the site server 107. Next, in S614, the CPU 201 analyzes and evaluates the received information. A detailed method of analysis and evaluation will be described later with reference to FIG. In step S615, the CPU 201 stores the information received in step S613 and the information analyzed and evaluated in step S614 in the database 108, and ends the process. In this flowchart, the example in which the input information analysis and evaluation process in S614 is performed at the timing when the input is received has been described. However, the process may be performed at a stage where information is accumulated in the database 108 to some extent, It may be performed at the stage when information is requested from. In these cases, the process of S614 is not performed, and only the input information accepted in S613 is stored in the database 108 in S615.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 15, a processing procedure in the spectator's PC 103 or portable terminal 104 when the spectator inputs input information will be described. Here, a case where the spectator inputs “twist” or the like using the mobile terminal 104 will be described. The processing described below is realized by the CPU 401 reading out a control program stored in the ROM 402 or HDD 404 to the RAM 403 and executing it.

  In step S <b> 1501, the CPU 401 receives an operation input from the audience, accesses the site server 107, and inputs an “twist” from a Web page (FIG. 11, FIG. 12, etc.) provided by the site server 107. The operation of is accepted. When the operation of the input button is accepted, the site server 107 is notified, and the CPU 401 acquires the screen information of the input screen from the site server 107 in S1502. As described above, the system server 101 actually provides the screen information of the input screen.

  In step S <b> 1503, the CPU 401 displays the input screen 700 on the web browser of the operation unit 405 according to the received screen information. Thereafter, in step S <b> 1504, the CPU 401 receives an input of “twist” or an emotional point by the audience via the input screen 700. In step S <b> 1505, the CPU 401 notifies the input information to the system server 101 via the site server 107 according to the user input, and ends the processing. As the notification timing of the input information, the information accumulated when the user closes the input screen may be notified at once, the timing when the transmission button 704 of the twist is pressed, or the timing when the input button 702 is pressed. May be transmitted. In order to pursue more real-time performance, it is assumed that notifications are made for each input. However, if input information is aggregated from all users in real time, the amount of communication and processing will be enormous. It may be. As described above, the input information includes input person information, player information, “twist” amount information, and information about impression points. Of course, other information may be included.

<Analysis and evaluation processing>
Next, with reference to FIG. 8, a detailed processing procedure of input information analysis and evaluation processing in S614 in the system server 101 according to the present embodiment will be described. The processing described below is realized by the CPU 201 reading out a control program stored in the ROM 202 or the HDD 204 to the RAM 203 and executing it. This flowchart is based on the timing in S614, the timing at which a predetermined amount of information is accumulated in the database 108, the timing at which a predetermined time has elapsed since the game ended, or the sponsor company via the site server 107. It is executed at the timing when the evaluation information of the target player is requested. Here, the case where it is performed at the timing of S614 will be described. At all timings, information to be analyzed and evaluated uses at least one of information stored in the database 108 and information already stored.

  In step S <b> 801, the CPU 201 extracts input person information indicating information on the audience who input each input information in accordance with the one or more input information received in step S <b> 613. For example, in the case of the information 903 from the twist system, the information is the user 00000001. Further, the CPU 201 extracts user information corresponding to the input person information. That is, in S801, user information is extracted from input information. Subsequently, in S802, the CPU 201 extracts player information (player A or the like) that is the target of each input information according to the one or more input information received in S613, and extracts player master information 901 and 902 from the database 108. To do. That is, in S801 and S802, in the database 108 shown in FIG. 9A, for the player master information 901 and 902, information 903 and 904 from the twist system, and user information 905 and 906 as input person information, Information for linking (link information) is extracted. In other words, information for identifying which player the input information is given to which player is extracted. In addition, once the user information 905 and 906 shown in FIG. 9A is registered in the database 108, the information in the database 108 is updated only when there is a change. On the other hand, information from the twist system is registered in the database 108 every time input information is received.

  Next, in step S803, the CPU 201 evaluates the information extracted in steps S801 and S802 and the corresponding input information. For example, here, information is evaluated for each player. Specifically, here, out of the evaluation results 921 for each player shown in FIG. 9B, from the information extracted in S801 and S802 and the corresponding input information, the cumulative impression points, the number of twists, the fan's Number of people, area concentration, area coverage, related information points, gender, age, occupation, job type, income, repeat count, total twist, average per turn, high number of twists, favorite players Information, degree of regional spread, locality, consecutive hit rate, and the number of simultaneous clicks in time are counted and evaluated. For example, the CPU 201 may calculate by adding items corresponding to the input information received in S613 among these pieces of information. That is, the process of S801 derives a part of the evaluation result for each player by performing statistical processing on the input person information among the pieces of input information. Here, the cumulative impression points are the accumulation points of impression points from a plurality of spectators for each player. The number of people who put a twist indicates the number of spectators who put a twist on each player. The number of fans indicates the number of users who have registered the player as a favorite player. The area concentration is information by area (by prefecture, by municipality) where a certain amount of data (twist and impression points) gathered. The area wideness degree is information on how much the player affects the wide area. Related information points are information that cannot be obtained directly from this system, such as information introduced on media. Therefore, this information is information that is input each time by the system administrator or the like via the system server 101. Gender, age, occupation, occupation type, and income are information indicating the level of each item that each player has the most influence on. The number of repeats is information indicating the degree to which the same user inputs a twist or the like. The total amount of twist is information indicating the total amount of “twist” acquired by each player. The average amount per turn is information indicating the average amount of “twist” input for each player. The number of expensive twists is information indicating the most expensive amount of “twist” obtained by each player. The information indicating whether or not the player is a favorite player is information indicating whether or not the user who has input a twist or the like has registered the player as a favorite player. The regional spread level and the local level are information indicating the degree of the area range that each player affects. The repeated hit rate indicates the repeat hit rate when inputting an emotional point, and the higher the value, the higher the audience excitement level. In addition to the continuous hit rate, the number of touches of the input button 702, the long pressing time, and the like may be evaluated. The number of simultaneous clicks in time indicates how many clicks were made from a plurality of spectators to a target player within a certain period. For example, the number of clicks received in one game is counted. is there. Here, the number of clicks indicates the number of times the input button 702 shown in FIG. 7 has been pressed. In addition, the value of the said item may be calculated as an average value within a fixed period, and may be calculated as a cumulative value so far.

  Next, in step S804, the CPU 201 calculates a growth rate and a degree of attention (expected value) for each player. Here, among the evaluation results 921 for each player shown in FIG. 9B, the growth rate (to date) and the expected value (to the future) are calculated. The growth rate (to date) is the total number of “twisting” of the input information received during the latest predetermined period and the input information received during the previous predetermined period among a plurality of past input information for a certain player. It is calculated by deriving the ratio of the sum of money and moving points. The expected value (to the future) is derived from the number of accesses such as HP of the player, the number of inquiries from sponsor companies, etc., the expected number of viewers in the future. For example, the above items may be weighted and digitized.

  In step S <b> 805, the CPU 201 functions as an influence calculation unit and performs comprehensive player evaluation. Here, the influence (popularity) is derived from the evaluation result 921 for each player shown in FIG. 9B. The influence (popularity) is information indicating the degree of influence of the player on the audience. For example, here, each item value derived in S803 may be weighted according to the importance and digitized as a total point. Further, the influence may be derived by inputting each item value derived in S803 to a predefined function. The derivation method is not intended to limit the present invention, and various known methods (statistical processing) may be used.

  Next, in S806, the CPU 201 calculates the sponsor price of the target player and ends the process. A detailed method for deriving the sponsor price will be described later with reference to FIG. The evaluation result 921 for each analyzed and evaluated player may be periodically calculated and stored in the database 108, or may be calculated each time information such as sponsor price is requested. .

<Sponsor price derivation process>
Next, a detailed processing procedure in which the system server 101 according to the present embodiment derives a sponsor price in S806 will be described with reference to FIG. The processing described below is realized by the CPU 201 reading out a control program stored in the ROM 202 or the HDD 204 to the RAM 203 and executing it. Here, the sponsor price indicates a cost required when the sponsor company makes a sponsor contract with the target player, and is, for example, a monthly amount. In the present invention, the sponsor price of the player is individually derived, and the information is transmitted to the sponsor company and the media. Thereby, the possibility that the sponsor contract is concluded more smoothly is improved.

  In step S1001, the CPU 201 derives a sponsor price from the influence calculated in step S805. Specifically, it may be derived by obtaining a sponsor price corresponding to the calculated influence from a correspondence table stored in advance in the ROM 202 or the like. Or you may derive | lead-out by inputting the said influence to the function defined previously.

  Subsequently, in S1002, the CPU 201 determines whether or not the growth rate of the player derived in S804 has changed. Specifically, when the growth rate is a value other than 1.0, it is determined that the growth rate has changed. If there is a change in the growth rate, the process proceeds to S1003, and if not, the process proceeds to S1004.

  In step S1003, the CPU 201 corrects the sponsor price calculated in step S1001 using the growth rate. For example, the sponsor price calculated in S1001 may be simply multiplied by the growth rate. If the sponsor price is corrected, the process proceeds to S1004.

  In step S1004, the CPU 201 determines whether or not the future attention level is greater than or equal to a predetermined level. If there is a degree of attention above a predetermined level, the process proceeds to S1005, and if not, the process ends. In step S1005, the CPU 201 corrects the current sponsor price, that is, the sponsor price calculated in step S1001 or the sponsor price calculated in step S1003, using the attention degree, and ends the process. Specifically, the sponsor price may be multiplied by a magnification according to the degree of attention. The sponsor price may be calculated periodically and stored in the database 108, or may be calculated each time a sponsor price is requested.

<Requesting process for player evaluation information>
Next, with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 9C to 9F and FIG. 13, the player evaluation information request acceptance process will be described.

  In step S1301, the CPU 201 functions as a display control unit and a search condition reception unit, and receives an inquiry from a sponsor company or the like. The inquiry is transmitted, for example, by operating the search screen 931 shown in FIG. 9C on the external terminal 102 via a Web page provided by the site server 107. The search screen 931 is a search screen in which player search conditions can be specified, and buttons 932 to 937 for outputting search results obtained by collecting player evaluations under each search condition are displayed. The button 932 is a button for viewing each index obtained by evaluating the player's evaluation in S803 by item. The button 933 is a button for viewing the player's evaluation by area. The button 934 is a button for viewing the player's evaluation with a change (change rate). The button 935 is a button for viewing a comparison result of evaluations of a plurality of players. The button 936 is a button for comprehensive evaluation (influence, etc.) of the player. A button 937 is a button for inputting a condition and viewing a corresponding result.

  In S1301, the contents operated on the search screen 931, that is, information on which button is operated is received. Subsequently, in S1302, the CPU 201 analyzes the contents of the inquiry, and in S1303, searches the database 108 based on the analysis result and collects necessary information. Thereafter, in S1304, the CPU 201 analyzes and evaluates the retrieved information. Since this process is the same as the process described with reference to FIG. Note that this processing may be skipped when information that has already been analyzed and evaluated is stored in the database 108.

  In step S1305, the CPU 201 transmits the screen information of the search result screen created using at least one of the information searched in step S1303 and the information analyzed and evaluated in step S1304 to the external terminal 102, and ends the processing. Here, the search result screens 941, 951, and 971 and the search input screen 961 will be described with reference to FIGS. 9D to 9F.

Further, scroll bars 943 and 944 are displayed, and information that cannot be displayed on the screen can be browsed by operating. When the return button 945 is pressed, the search screen 931 is returned. It should be noted that the evaluation items displayed on the search result screen 941 are not intended to be limited as long as at least one of the evaluation items calculated in S803 to S806 is displayed.

  A search result screen 951 shown in FIG. 9E is a screen displayed when the button 933 is pressed. The search result screen 951 shows information for each area, and shows, for example, the number of spectators who input “twist” or the like to the player A. 952 shows a map of Japan by prefecture. Reference numeral 953 indicates the number of spectators who input “Onizuri” or the like for each prefecture. Reference numeral 954 denotes a cursor such as a mouse, and by selecting individual prefectures on the map, they can be displayed by municipality or by region. When the return button 955 is pressed, the screen returns to the search screen 931.

  A search input screen 961 shown in FIG. 9F is a screen displayed when the button 937 is pressed. The search input screen 961 is provided with input areas 962 to 965 for various conditions to be input to narrow down player information when a sponsor company or the like searches for players. When the search button 966 is pressed while various conditions are input in the input areas 962 to 965, a search result screen 971 is displayed. On the other hand, when the return button 967 is pressed, the screen returns to the search screen 931.
