Patent Document 1 discloses a mechanism for automatically selecting music suitable for a location based on position information. Whether or not the music is suitable for the occasion is determined by comparing the values of the environmental variables including the position information and the attribute data of the music.
However, regarding the music selected based on such a determination, it has not been considered whether the user has determined that the music is really suitable for the occasion.

  Further, the technique described in Patent Document 2 has a problem that the user cannot associate the current situation with the music when the moving body moves without having a clear destination. was there.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an example of the object thereof is to provide a content evaluation apparatus that allows a user to evaluate the relationship between music and the situation on the spot.

  A content evaluation apparatus according to the present invention includes a notification unit for performing notification for inputting an evaluation related to matching between the content being played and the situation of the place, and an input unit that receives an input of evaluation performed in response to the notification by the notification unit The notification means performs notification at different timings for each content.

  FIG. 1 is a front view of a playback terminal 1 including a content evaluation apparatus according to the present invention. Hereinafter, the configuration of the playback terminal 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The playback terminal 1 is formed as a thin casing. The playback terminal 1 has an operation display unit 47, an earpiece 21 near the upper surface 3, and a mouthpiece (not shown) near the lower surface 2. The operation display unit 47 includes the display panel 22 and the touch sensor 24. Further, the operation display unit 47 can further display the title bar 23 and the notification means 25.

  FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram for explaining functions of the playback terminal 1 of FIG. Next, an outline of functions of the playback terminal 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

  When the reproduction terminal 1 satisfies the predetermined condition (first condition) when the reproduction instruction is given by the user and the reproduction is turned on, the current situation of the user (for example, “A: sunset at the seaside”). , “B: Countryside blue sky”, “C: Christmas night”, “D: Rainy mountain road”), for example, “A: Sun Rise”, “B: Sky “Blue”, “C: Night of Kiyoshi”, “D: Kaeru no Uta”) and landscape images (for example, “A: Sunset over the sea”, “B: Sunny blue sky”, “C: Christmas tree”, “D : Wet young leaves ") automatically. The reproduced music and landscape image are automatically acquired from the server.

  Here, the current situation information (current situation information) is determined from, for example, geographical information such as location, weather and temperature, and road conditions, and current situation information appropriately selected from seasonal information such as season and time zone. The Furthermore, when it is determined that the user is in a car, information related to the running of the car such as lights, vehicle speed, and parking conditions may be included.

When the current status information and the first condition owned by the playback terminal 1 match, the playback terminal 1 starts the playback start process (note that the following description is shown in FIGS. 9).
As will be described later, the first condition is a condition stored in the playback terminal 1 as being appropriate for starting playback of content.
Then, the playback terminal 1 communicates and outputs the current status information to the server 31. The server 31 to which the current status information is input through communication searches the content database 32 in which the reproduction conditions are stored, and selects the content stored as being most suitable for the current status information.
Then, the server 31 communicates and outputs the music data (music DATAa) and image data (image DATAa) of the selected content to the playback terminal 1. The term “content data” is used as a general term for music data and image data.
Upon receiving the content data communication input, the playback terminal 1 plays the music and displays an image based on the data.

For example, when the playback condition matches the playback condition A (temporal information (time zone): evening, weather information: clear, geographical information (current position): seaside), the playback terminal 1 determines the playback condition A Music data (music DATAa) and image data (image DATAa) (for example, music related to the sunset and the sea, sunset scenery image) are acquired from the database of the server and reproduced simultaneously.
In reproduction based on the first condition, content data corresponding to the reproduction condition is reproduced.

Note that the playback conditions are owned by the server 31, and the server 31 receives the current status information acquired by the playback terminal 1, and selects the content that is determined to be most appropriate for the current status information at that time. (See FIG. 9).
Here, the reason why it is determined to be most appropriate at that time is that the reproduction condition changes depending on the evaluation of content data from a plurality of users. Further, the first condition of the playback terminal 1 is synchronized with the playback condition of the server 31. However, the reproduction condition of the server 31 can always be changed according to evaluation information of a plurality of users. Therefore, at the moment when the synchronization is performed, the first condition and the reproduction condition of the playback terminal 1 are the same. However, if the synchronization is not performed, the reproduction condition is changed, resulting in the first condition and the reproduction condition. The conditions will be different.

Thus, in the reproduction based on the first condition, the user can receive the back music suitable for the actual scenery spreading in front of his / her own eyes without selecting and determining by himself / herself.
The reproduction based on the first condition will be described later with reference to FIGS.

  On the other hand, in random reproduction, reproduction conditions are not passed during content reproduction. In other words, the content is acquired randomly regardless of the situation at the spot. In this case, content suitable for the situation at the time may be played back, or content that is completely unrelated to the situation at the time may be played back.

In random playback, surprising content playback may give a particularly strong impression to the user. Then, the user can discover a new context or story between the current situation and the content.
The random reproduction will be described later with reference to FIGS.

  Furthermore, the present invention is provided with an evaluation function that allows the user to notify that the situation on the spot matches the reproduced content. Based on this evaluation, the accuracy of the reproduction condition can be increased. In addition, by establishing a new context or story discovered by the user as a new playback condition, the discovered context or story can be shared with other users via the playback condition.

Specifically, when the content reproduction is started and a predetermined condition (second condition) is satisfied, the notification unit 25 is displayed on the display panel 22.
The notifying means 25 indicates that the music and image being reproduced can be evaluated by pressing this button on the display panel 22. Here, the second condition is, for example, that a predetermined period has elapsed since the reproduction of the content was started, or the timing at which the most exciting part of the music was reached.

  When the second condition is satisfied and the notification unit 25 is displayed, if the user determines that the content being reproduced is appropriate for the current situation, the user touches the notification unit 25 and evaluates it. Information on this evaluation is output to the server 31 by communication. The evaluation information can be shared among a plurality of users by being stored in the server 31 and used in the next and subsequent content reproduction.

In the operation display unit 47, the display panel 22 corresponding to the display unit 8 and the touch sensor 24 corresponding to the input unit 10 are integrated.
Here, the display unit 8 is formed using, for example, an LCD or an OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode (organic EL)).
The display unit 8 displays an image corresponding to the video signal supplied from the control unit 43. In addition, the display unit 8 displays, for example, the telephone number of the callee at the time of wireless transmission by the communication unit 42, the telephone number of the caller at the time of incoming call, the contents of the received mail and the transmitted mail, the date, time, the remaining battery level, the call success The standby screen is displayed.
The display unit 8 may include not only the display panel 22 but also other display means. Further, the input unit 10 may include other input means as well as the touch sensor 24.
In the present embodiment, in particular, the notification unit 25 for the user to evaluate the content is displayed on the operation display unit 47.
And if the touch sensor 24 detects that the position corresponding to the alerting | reporting means 25 was pressed by the user, this will be output to the control part 43 as a user's instruction | indication.
Further, the operation display unit 47 displays the image data downloaded from the server 31 during the music reproduction period.

The imaging unit 45 is a camera configured by a photoelectric conversion element such as a charge coupled device (CCD) or a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor, a control circuit thereof, and the like.
In the present embodiment, in particular, using the imaging unit 45, the user can shoot a landscape image that matches the music being played.

The storage unit 44 stores various data used for various processes of the playback terminal 1. The storage unit 44 includes, for example, a computer program executed by the control unit 43, an address book for managing personal information such as a telephone number and an e-mail address of a communication partner, a voice file for reproducing a ring tone and an alarm sound, and a standby screen Image files, various setting data, and temporary data used in the program processing.
In the present embodiment, in particular, the storage unit 44 stores a first condition, content data for reproduction, a second condition, a reproduction condition, evaluation information, and the like, which will be described later. Furthermore, the image data photographed by the imaging unit 45 is stored.

  The storage unit 44 includes, for example, a nonvolatile storage device (nonvolatile semiconductor memory, hard disk device, optical disk device, etc.), a random accessible storage device (eg, SRAM, DRAM), or the like.

The control unit 43 comprehensively controls the overall operation of the playback terminal 1.
That is, the control unit 43 performs various processes of the playback terminal 1 (voice calls performed via a circuit switching network, creation and transmission / reception of e-mails, browsing of download sites on the Internet web, etc.) of the operation display unit 47. The operation of each block described above (transmission / reception of signals in the communication unit 42, display of an image on the display unit 8, imaging processing in the imaging unit 45, etc.) is controlled so as to be executed in an appropriate procedure according to the operation.

Furthermore, the control unit 43 includes a computer (microprocessor) that executes processing based on a program (operating system, application program, etc.) stored in the storage unit 44, and has been described above according to the procedure instructed in this program. Execute the process.
That is, the control unit 43 sequentially receives instruction codes from programs such as an operating system and application programs stored in the storage unit 44 and executes processing.
In the present embodiment, in particular, the control unit 43 controls the overall content reproduction procedure described later with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a content reproduction processing procedure.

In step S01, it is determined whether or not there is a music reproduction instruction from the user. If there is no reproduction instruction, the process waits until there is a reproduction instruction.
Conversely, if there is a reproduction instruction, the process proceeds to step S02.
It should be noted that the process may be shifted to step S02 immediately in response to the power-on of the playback terminal 1 without receiving a music playback instruction from the user. Here, as a method for the user to turn on the playback terminal 1, for example, the user may operate the operation display unit 47 of the playback terminal 1, or the like.

In step S02, the current status information of the current playback terminal 1 is detected. Specifically, the control unit 43 detects current status information from the GPS 35 and the server 31 via the communication unit 42 and the current position detection unit 41.
The current status information includes geographical information such as location, weather / temperature, road status, time information such as season and time, and information related to driving of the vehicle such as light, vehicle speed, and parking information.
Of the geographical information, information related to the location is detected from the GPS 35 via the current position detection unit 41 as information related to latitude and longitude.
Information on weather / temperature is acquired from the base station 34 via the communication unit 42.
Further, the road conditions and the like are acquired from the GPS 35 or the base station 34 via the current position detection unit 41 or the communication unit 42. The road condition information is information such as the congestion state of the road being traveled and whether or not the car is traveling on a highway. Furthermore, information such as a distance to the destination and landmarks in the vicinity of the traveling may be included.
The time information can be acquired from the date and time information of the timer unit included in the control unit 43 of the playback terminal 1.
Information relating to the traveling of the vehicle is acquired via the communication unit 42 as information held by an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) installed in the vehicle on board.
When step S02 is executed, the process proceeds to step S03. If there is no step S03, the process proceeds to step S04.

In step S03, it is determined whether or not to reproduce content randomly. Specifically, a random display option is displayed on the operation display unit 47, and is determined by the user selecting this random display.
The control unit 43 determines whether or not there is a random reproduction instruction from the user. If there is a random reproduction instruction, the control unit 43 proceeds to procedure B (random reproduction) (described later), and if there is no random reproduction instruction, the process proceeds to step S04. Transition.
Note that this step S03 may be omitted if random playback is not performed depending on the user's selection.

Next, in step S04, the control unit 43 determines whether or not the current status information obtained in step S02 satisfies the first condition stored in the storage unit 44.
Specifically, the control unit 43 collates the first condition with the current situation information and determines whether or not the first condition is met.
If the first condition is satisfied in step S04, the process proceeds to process A (reproduction based on the first condition). When the first condition is not satisfied, that is, when there is no reproduction condition, the process proceeds to process B (random reproduction).
Note that the first condition and the current status information may not be completely matched but may be determined to match.

FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram of a process for collating the current status information with the first condition.
As shown in FIG. 6, for example, when each attribute of each category of the acquired current situation information is “winter, night, clear, downtown”, the first condition is “winter, night, clear, downtown” ”, It is determined that the current status information matches the first condition.
Note that even if the first condition and the current status information are not completely matched, it may be determined that they match.
As described above, when there is a suitable condition, it is determined that the first condition is satisfied, and the process proceeds to process A. If there is no matching condition, it is determined that the first condition is not satisfied, and the process proceeds to process B.
The determination as to whether the current situation matches the first condition is not limited to the method shown in FIG. 6, and can be determined by various methods.

<Playback based on the first condition>
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the procedure of process A (in the case of reproduction based on the first condition). In the reproduction based on the first condition, the control unit 43 executes the process A following the process shown in FIG.

  In step S05, the playback terminal 1 supplies (communication output) the current status information detected in step S02 to the server 31 via the communication unit 42. When step S05 is executed, the process proceeds to step S06.

  In step S06, the server 31 acquires the current status supplied (communication input) in step S05. When step S06 is executed, the process proceeds to step S07.

In step S07, the server 31 determines the most appropriate content for the acquired current situation information. At this time, the content is determined not only as the music DATA and the image DATA, but also as a series of second conditions and reproduction conditions associated therewith. Note that the reproduction condition at this time is the reproduction condition determined to be the closest to the first condition or the reproduction condition stored in the server 31. This reproduction condition is corrected in step S22 described later.
When step S07 is executed, the process proceeds to step S08.

This process will be described with reference to FIG. 6. When each attribute of each category of the acquired current situation information is “winter, night, clear, city center”, the reproduction condition C is “winter, night. ,-, City center ", and the match rate is the highest, so the song" Christmas night "is selected.
Such music selection is not limited to the method shown in FIG. 6, and can be determined by various methods.

  In step S08, the server 31 supplies (communication output) the content data determined in step S07 together with the related second condition to the playback terminal 1. When step S08 is executed, the process proceeds to step S09.

In step S09, the playback terminal 1 acquires content data and the second condition from the server 31. The control unit 43 causes the storage unit 44 to store content data acquired via the communication unit 42.
When step S09 is executed, the process proceeds to step S10.

In step S10, the playback terminal 1 starts playback of content data. The control unit 43 outputs audio from the speaker of the audio input / output unit 48 and displays an image from the display unit 8 of the operation display unit 47.
When step S10 is executed, the process proceeds to step S11.

In step S11, the playback terminal 1 determines whether or not the second condition is satisfied.
As described above, the second condition is, for example, that a predetermined period has elapsed since the start of content reproduction, or the timing at which the music has reached the highest point, and the display of the notification unit 25 is permitted. It is a condition for.
Specifically, the control unit 43 makes a determination with reference to the second condition stored in the storage unit 44 and associated with the currently playing music. When the control unit 43 determines that the second condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S12. If the control unit 43 does not determine that the second condition is satisfied, the process returns to continue reproduction, and step S11 is repeated until it is determined that the second condition is satisfied.

In step S <b> 12, in the playback terminal 1, the control unit 43 causes the display unit 8 of the operation display unit 47 to display the notification unit 25.
When step S12 is executed, the process proceeds to step S13.

In step S13, it is determined whether an evaluation has been performed. The user can input an evaluation for the content being reproduced using the notification means 25 displayed in step S12.
When an evaluation is input from the input unit 10 by the notification unit 25, the control unit 43 determines that there is an input, and supplies this evaluation information to the server 31 via the communication unit 42. Note that this evaluation information may include not only information regarding the presence / absence of evaluation but also information such as evaluation timing.
When the evaluation is performed, the process proceeds to step S21. If the evaluation has not been performed, the process proceeds to step S14.

Step S14 is a process for hiding the notification unit 25 when the evaluation by the notification unit 25 is not performed in step S13. When a predetermined period elapses from the content reproduction start time, the control unit 43 determines that a timeout has occurred and stops displaying the notification unit 25.
The predetermined period may be a predetermined period from the start of reproduction, or may be a predetermined period from the start point of the most exciting music. In any case, a period not exceeding the playback end point of the music can be set in advance.
If the control unit 43 determines that a timeout has occurred, the process A ends. If the control unit 43 does not determine that a timeout has occurred, the process returns to step S13 and the subsequent processing is repeated.
When the reproduction of the content ends, the process returns to step S02. When the reproduction stop operation is performed by the user, all the processes are ended.

Step S21 is a process in which the server 31 acquires evaluation information supplied from the playback terminal 1 when the notification unit 25 performs the evaluation in step S13. The server 31 acquires evaluation information via the Internet 33 or the like.
When step S21 is executed, the process proceeds to step S22.

  In step S22, a process for correcting the reproduction condition is executed using the evaluation information acquired in step S21. Specifically, the server 31 changes the reproduction condition stored in the content database 32 based on the evaluation information. Alternatively, the weighting of the reproduction condition is changed. Specifically, the weight of the reproduction condition from which the evaluation information is acquired is increased.

Conversely, the weight of content for which evaluation information has not been acquired may be lowered. Specifically, if the evaluation information has not been acquired by the time when the notification unit 25 is not displayed or the time point when the music ends, the information is supplied to the server 31 as evaluation unacquired information. In this case, it is determined that the evaluation has not been acquired and that there is a low evaluation.
By doing so, it is possible to improve the chance of playing back unreproduced or new content. In other words, by giving weights to the playback conditions as the priority for playback, the first ranking “with playback, with evaluation”, the second ranking with “not played”, and the third ranking with “playback, without evaluation”. You can listen to the music you have evaluated at the same place again. In addition, it is possible to increase the chances of listening to a new song, rather than listening to a song that has not been evaluated last time and has a weak impression.
When step S22 is executed, the server 31 ends the process A.

<Random playback>
FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the procedure of process B (in the case of random reproduction). In the random reproduction, the control unit 43 executes the process B following the process shown in FIG. The process B is a process when content data is reproduced at random without using the first condition. In the procedure shown in FIG. 5, if the user selects random playback in step S03, or if it is determined in step S04 that the first condition is not present, the process proceeds to process B and S105 is executed. Hereinafter, the process B will be described with reference to FIG.

  In step S105, the playback terminal 1 supplies (communication output) the current status information detected in step S02 to the server 31 via the communication unit 42. When step S105 is executed, the process proceeds to step S106.

  In step S106, the server 31 acquires the current status information supplied (communication input) in step S105. When step S106 is executed, the process proceeds to step S107.

  In step S107, the server 31 randomly selects and determines content. At this time, the content is determined not only as the music DATA and the image DATA, but also as a series of second conditions and reproduction conditions associated therewith. This reproduction condition is corrected in step S122 described later.

The difference from the first embodiment is that the first condition is not passed. This point will be described again with reference to FIG.
In the first embodiment, the playback condition C that matches the first condition is always determined. In the second embodiment, when the user selects random playback in step S02, the playback conditions A to C are as follows. Assuming the same condition, one of the three is randomly determined. Furthermore, when the first condition is not satisfied in step S04, the reproduction conditions A and B are regarded as the same reproduction condition, and one of the two reproduction conditions is determined at random.
When step S107 is executed, the process proceeds to step S108.

In step S108, the server 31 supplies (communication output) the content data determined in step S107 to the playback terminal 1 together with the related second condition.
When step S108 is executed, the process proceeds to step S109.

In step S <b> 109, the playback terminal 1 acquires the content data and the second condition from the server 31. The control unit 43 stores the content data acquired via the communication unit 42 in the storage unit 44.
When step S109 is executed, the process proceeds to step S110.

In step S110, the playback terminal 1 starts playback of content data. The control unit 43 outputs audio from the speaker of the audio input / output unit 48 and displays an image from the display unit 8 of the operation display unit 47.
When step S110 is executed, the process proceeds to step S111.

  In step S111, the playback terminal 1 determines whether or not the second condition is satisfied. Specifically, the control unit 43 makes a determination with reference to the second condition stored in the storage unit 44 and associated with the currently playing music. When the control unit 43 determines that the second condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S112. If the control unit 43 does not determine that the second condition is satisfied, the process returns to continue reproduction, and step S111 is repeated until it is determined that the second condition is satisfied.

In step S112, in the playback terminal 1, the control unit 43 causes the notification unit 25 to be displayed on the display unit 8 of the operation display unit 47.
When step S112 is executed, the process proceeds to step S113.

In step S113, it is determined whether an evaluation has been performed. The user can input an evaluation for the content being reproduced using the notification means 25 displayed in step S112.
When an evaluation is input from the input unit 10 by the notification unit 25, the control unit 43 determines that there is an input, and supplies this evaluation information to the server 31 via the communication unit 42. Note that this evaluation information may include not only information regarding the presence / absence of evaluation but also information such as evaluation timing.
When the evaluation is performed, the process proceeds to step S121. If the evaluation has not been performed, the process proceeds to step S114.

Step S114 is a process for hiding the notification means 25 when the evaluation by the notification means 25 is not performed in step S113. When a predetermined period elapses from the content reproduction start time, the control unit 43 determines that a timeout has occurred and stops displaying the notification unit 25.
The predetermined period may be a predetermined period from the start of reproduction, or may be a predetermined period from the start point of the most exciting music. In any case, a period not exceeding the playback end point of the music can be set in advance.
If the control unit 43 determines that a timeout has occurred, the process B ends. If the control unit 43 does not determine that a timeout has occurred, the process returns to step S113 and the subsequent processing is repeated.
When the reproduction of the content ends, the process returns to step S02. When the reproduction stop operation is performed by the user, all the processes are ended.

Step S121 is a process in which the server 31 acquires evaluation information supplied from the playback terminal 1 when the notification unit 25 performs the evaluation in step S113. The server 31 acquires evaluation information via the Internet 33 or the like.
When step S121 is executed, the process proceeds to step S122.

  In step S122, using the evaluation information acquired in step S121, a process for creating a reproduction condition as the first condition is executed. Specifically, the server 31 associates the content stored in the content database 32 as the first condition. When step S122 is executed, the process B ends.

  FIG. 9 shows a table 61 provided in the database. Music data that is music acoustic content and image data are stored in association with one music name or music ID. Furthermore, the second condition and the reproduction condition described above are stored in association with each song.

<Other embodiments>
During the reproduction of the content, the user may upload a landscape photograph that matches the music being reproduced.
Specifically, the image data stored in the storage unit 44, such as an image captured by the imaging unit 45 of the playback terminal 1 in a period from step S10 or step S110 to the end of playback, is transmitted to the communication unit 42. Upload to the server 31 via
The current status information detected from the current position detection unit 41 at the time of uploading is uploaded at the same time.
The server 31 regards the acquisition of the evaluation information in step S21 or step S121 as a result of the acquisition of the image data and the current status information, and executes the subsequent processing. This is because the user's positive uploading of image data is considered to have been evaluated by the user that the music and the situation on the spot matched.

  Further, it may be configured such that sample data of music having a reproduction condition close to the first condition is reproduced and the music can be purchased. In that case, it is conceivable to provide a music purchase procedure after the evaluation in step S13.

  <Effect>

  According to the present invention, since the playback terminal 1 can determine the music to be played based on the latest current status information, the user can automatically listen to the music that matches the current situation. In addition, since the playback terminal 1 stores only the first condition for determining content data, not the actual content data, in the storage unit 44, the load on the storage unit 44 can be reduced.

  Also, the playback terminal 1 can acquire music and images at random even when there is no playback condition that matches the first condition.

  Furthermore, since the playback terminal 1 of the present invention allows the user to evaluate the content, the user can not only passively receive the music provided but also express his / her preference.

  In addition, since the reproduction condition can be corrected based on the evaluation information evaluated by the user, it is possible to improve the accuracy of matching the content to be reproduced and the situation on the spot.
