  The control unit 110 provides the terminal 20 with various services of the SNS. The control unit 110 relays the content transmitted and received among the plurality of terminals 20 using, for example, an instant messaging service.

  The transmission / reception unit 111 transmits / receives data such as content to / from the terminal 20 according to an instruction of the control unit 110.

  Display control unit 112 controls a display screen on terminal 20 in accordance with an instruction from control unit 110.

<Processing>
Next, processing of the communication system 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 9B. FIG. 2 is a sequence diagram showing an example of processing of the communication system 1 according to the second embodiment.

  In step S1, the control unit 110 of the server 10 is the user A of the terminal 20A (an example of the “first user”), the user B of the terminal 20B (an example of the “second user”), and the user C of the terminal 20C (the example of Various examples are transmitted / received in the group (talk group) which concerns on the talk room containing users, such as a "2nd user." Here, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 of each user included in the group causes the various contents transmitted and received in the group to be displayed on the screen, arranged in the order of old or new time of transmission / reception. . In addition, below, the thing of the display screen in which the said screen is included is called a talk room screen. Further, in the talk room screen, the area where the transmitted / received content is displayed in chronological order of transmission / reception is referred to as a “first area”. In the following description, it is assumed that the content transmitted from the user of the own terminal 20 is aligned on the right and displayed on the talk room screen, and the content transmitted from the users of other terminals 20 is aligned and displayed on the left Do.

  Subsequently, the reception unit 210 of the terminal 20A receives an operation specifying that the predetermined content is important from the user A (step S2).

  Subsequently, the transmitting and receiving unit 212 of the terminal 20A transmits, to the server 10, metadata indicating that the predetermined content selected by the user A is important (Step S3). Here, the operation of designating the importance can be performed at least when the predetermined content is transmitted by the operation of the first user, or after the predetermined content is transmitted. May be

  FIG. 3 is a view showing an example of a display screen for designating that it is important on the talk room screen when the content is transmitted. In the example of FIG. 3, in the talk room screen of the terminal 20A, the messages 301B to 304B, which are contents transmitted from each user, are displayed in association with the icons 301A to 304A for each user included in the group. .

  Further, in the example of FIG. 3, it is assumed that a text message is input from the user A in the input field 305, the important icon 306 is pressed, and the “Send” button 307 is pressed. In this case, a message 308 “Remember to bring your gift tomorrow” is displayed, and a message 308 with metadata indicating that it is important is added via the server 10 to each of the users included in the group. It is transmitted to the terminal 20.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen for designating importance on the talk room screen after the content is transmitted. In the example of FIG. 4, in the talk room screen of the terminal 20A, for example, in response to pressing of the message 308, the important icon 401 is displayed in association with the message 308, and the important icon 401 is pressed. I assume. In this case, metadata indicating that the message 308 transmitted by the user A is important is transmitted to the terminal 20 of each user included in the group via the server 10.

  Note that the control unit 211 of the terminal 20A may be able to specify that the content transmitted by a user other than the user A included in the group is important by the operation of the user A. In this case, as in the example described above, for example, when any of the messages 301B to 304B illustrated in FIG. 4 is pressed, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20A causes the important icon to be displayed in association with the pressed message. . Then, when the important icon is pressed, the transmitting and receiving unit 212 of the terminal 20A includes, through the server 10, each metadata included in the group, indicating that the content associated with the icon is important. It transmits to the terminal 20 of the user. Similarly, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20B may be able to designate, by the operation of the user B, the content transmitted by a user other than the user B included in the group as important.

  Subsequently, the transmitting / receiving unit 111 of the server 10 transmits the metadata received from the terminal 20A to the terminal 20A, the terminal 20B, the terminal 20C, etc. of each user included in the group (steps S4-1, S4-2, Step S4-3, ...). Note that the transmitting and receiving unit 111 of the server 10 may not transfer the metadata to the terminal 20A that is the transmission source of the metadata.

  Subsequently, the control unit 211 such as the terminal 20A, the terminal 20B, and the terminal 20C of each user included in the group is a content whose content is designated as important based on the received metadata (see FIG. Display the predetermined content and the operation content (an example of the “important content notification object”) for displaying the predetermined content on the screen in a mode different from other content, as “important content”) (Step S5-1, step S5-2, step S5-3,...). Here, the other content includes important content and content other than the important content. As a result, all members participating in the talk room can relatively easily confirm content such as important messages, and can share the recognition of which messages are important in the talk room.

  FIGS. 5 to 7B are display screens in which one content designated as important in the talk room screen and operation content for displaying the one content are displayed in a mode different from other contents. It is a figure explaining an example of. In the example of FIG. 5, in the talk room screen of the terminal 20, stamps 501B to 504B which are contents transmitted from the respective users are displayed in association with the icons 501A to 504A for the respective users included in the group. Here, the stamp may be, for example, an image or the like in which a photo, an illustration, a character, and the like are combined.

  Also, in the example of FIG. 5, it is assumed that the transmitted / received content in the talk room screen is important in the area (“second area”) above or in front of the first area displayed in chronological order of transmitted / received An icon 505 indicating the number of designated contents is displayed. In the example of FIG. 5, the number “1” on the icon 505 indicates that the number of contents designated as important is one. The icon 505 is content for operation (content for operation) for displaying content designated as important, and can also be referred to as a GUI (Graphical User Interface) component. The appearance of the operation content is not limited to the icon or the like, and may be, for example, a character string, a figure, an image or the like. In the case of a character string or the like, an underline indicating a link to content designated as important may be drawn in the character string or the like.

  When the icon 505 which is the content for operation is pressed by the user of the terminal 20, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 operates on the talk room screen of the terminal 20 as shown in the example of FIG. 6A or 6B. Area 601 including at least a portion of the message 308 designated as important. Here, the area 601 is operation content including at least a part of content designated as important. Note that the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 associates with the area 601 and at least one of the icon of the user who designated the message 308 as important and the display name, the icon of the user who sent the message 308, and the display name And / or may be displayed.

  In the example of FIG. 6A, an area 601 including at least a portion of the message 308 designated as important is displayed so as to be superimposed on other content transmitted and received in the talk room. Therefore, since the message 308 is displayed more emphatically, the number of operations for the user to search the message 308 for each content included in the talk room screen can be reduced, and the load on the terminal 20 can be reduced. . In addition, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 may cause the area 601 including at least a part of the message 308 designated as important to be displayed so as not to overlap with other contents transmitted and received in the talk room. In this case, for example, as shown in FIG. 6B, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 does not overlap the area 601A (601) including at least a part of the message 308 designated as important, Is displayed. In this case, since the area 601A is displayed above the first area where the transmitted / received content is displayed in chronological order, the first area is displayed less by the area 601A. When the icon 601B is pressed by the user, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 displays the display name of the user who designated the message 308 as important in association with the message 308 displayed in the area 601A. You may In the example of FIG. 6B, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 does not display the icon 505, and at least one of the messages 308 designated as important in the background area 601A different from the background of the talk room screen. It is displayed including the part. Thus, even if the content designated as important is fixed and displayed at a position where it is easy for the user's eyes to be held, the user can reduce the number of operations by the user because the user's browsing of other content is not hindered. Load can be reduced.

  Here, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 moves each content other than the content designated as important on the screen in response to the user's operation such as swipe (an example of the “move operation”). While being displayed, the icon 505 which is the content for operation and the area 601 may be displayed at a fixed position without being moved. More specifically, when the user operates swipe etc. up and down on the touch panel screen by the user, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 moves up and down the contents such as the stamps 501B to 504B transmitted and received in the group related to the talk room. Scroll and display. On the other hand, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 continues to display the icon 505 which is the content for operation and the area 601 at a fixed position such as the upper right without being scrolled even if the operation is performed.

  When the area 601 is pressed by the user, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 causes the message 308 to be displayed at a predetermined position such as the top, center, or bottom on the talkroom screen of the terminal 20. Each content of the screen may be scrolled. In the example of FIG. 7A, the message 308 is displayed at the top, indicating that the content such as the stamps 501B to 503B has been transmitted and received after the message 308 has been transmitted and received.

  When the contents of the talk room screen are scrolled so that the message 308 is at the predetermined position in response to the region 601 being pressed by the user, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 displays the talk room screen. , And the message 308 may be displayed in a display manner different from other contents. In the example of FIG. 7B, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 displays the talk room screen so that the message 308 is at the center position in the vertical direction. In the example of FIG. 7B, after the message 308A (308) vibrates in the horizontal direction as a display mode different from other contents, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 gradually converges and stops the vibration and displays it. It is shown. Further, in the example of FIG. 7B, the message 308A and the area 601A are simultaneously displayed. Thus, the user can easily recognize that the content designated by the operation on the area 601A is displayed.

  7 is an example of the talk room screen of the terminal 20A that has transmitted the message 308, the message 308 is displayed with right alignment. On the talk room screen of the terminal 20B, the terminal 20C, etc., the message 308 shown in FIG. 7 transmitted from the user A of the terminal 20A may be displayed in left alignment in association with the icon indicating the user A.

  FIGS. 8 to 9B are display screens in which a plurality of contents designated as important in the talk room screen and operation contents for displaying the plurality of contents are displayed in a mode different from other contents. It is a figure explaining an example of.

  In the example of FIG. 8, an icon 801 indicating the number of contents designated as important is different as compared with the example of FIG. 5. In the example of FIG. 8, the number “3” on the icon 801 indicates that the number of contents designated as important is three.

  When the user presses the icon 801, which is the operation content, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 causes the terminals 20A to 20C and the like to display a talk room screen as shown in the example of FIG. 9A or 9B. In the example of FIG. 9A, an area 601 including the message 308 designated as important, the message 901, and at least a part of the message 902, an area 911, and an area 912 are displayed on the front of the screen.

  In the example of FIG. 9A, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 displays the area 601, the area 911, and the area 912, which are operation content including at least a part of the content designated as important, in the area The times at which the respective contents are transmitted and received are arranged and displayed from the top in chronological order. Instead of this, for example, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 may arrange and display from the top in the order in which the time at which each content was transmitted and received was new. Alternatively, the contents may be displayed side by side from the bottom in order of the time when the content was transmitted / received in the oldest order or in the newest order.

  In the display screen of FIG. 9A, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 responds to the user's operation such as swipe on the screen of FIG. 9A to display each content other than the content designated as important on the screen. While being moved and displayed, the icon 801, the area 601, the area 911, and the area 912 may be displayed at a fixed position without moving.

  Note that the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 may display only a predetermined number (for example, one) of the plurality of contents designated as important in a manner different from other contents. In this case, a screen similar to that of FIG. 6B described above may be displayed. In this case, when the icon 601B of FIG. 6B is pressed by the user, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 sets the area 601A, the area 911A (911), and the area 912A (912) as shown in FIG. Display at the top of the area. Here, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 may superimpose and display the area 911A and the area 912A on other content as shown in FIG. 9B. When the icon 951 of FIG. 9B is pressed, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 may return to the display screen of FIG. 6B. When the “minimize” area 952 in FIG. 9B is pressed, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 erases the display of the area 601A, the area 911A, and the area 912A, and displays, for example, only the icon 801 in FIG. When the icon 801 is pressed by the user, the display screen of FIG. 9B may be returned.

  In addition, as in the example of FIG. 5, when any of the area 601, the area 911, and the area 912 is pressed by the user, the message displayed in the pressed area is displayed at a predetermined position such as the top. Each content of the talk room screen is scrolled to be displayed.

  Subsequently, the reception unit 210 of the terminal 20A receives, from the user A, an operation for canceling the designation that the predetermined content is important (Step S6).

  Here, when the user A presses and holds the area 601 including the icon 505 of FIG. 6 or at least a part of the message 308 designated as important, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 displays the icon 505, for example. Alternatively, the delete button associated with the area 601 may be displayed. Then, when the user A presses the delete button, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 may release the designation that the message 308 is important.

  Similarly, when the icon 801, the area 601, the area 911, or the area 912 in FIG. 9A is long-pressed by the user A, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 performs the icon 801, the area 601, the area 911, or the area 912. The deletion button associated with may be displayed. When the user A presses the delete button, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 determines that the message 308, the message 901, or the message 902 displayed in the area associated with the delete button is important. You may cancel the specification of a certain thing.

  Alternatively, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 may display a batch delete button in response to a predetermined operation, and cancel the designation of importance for all contents when the batch delete button is pressed.

  Subsequently, the transmitting and receiving unit 212 of the terminal 20A transmits, to the server 10, metadata indicating that the predetermined content selected by the user A is no longer important (Step S7).

  Subsequently, the transmitting / receiving unit 111 of the server 10 transmits the metadata received from the terminal 20A to the terminal 20A, the terminal 20B, the terminal 20C, etc. of each user included in the group (steps S8-1, S8-2, Step S8-3, ...). Note that the transmitting and receiving unit 111 of the server 10 may not transfer the metadata to the terminal 20A that is the transmission source of the metadata.

  Subsequently, the control units 211 such as the terminal 20A, the terminal 20B, and the terminal 20C of the respective users included in the group are respectively special about the predetermined content designated as non-important based on the received metadata. The display in the form is stopped (step S9-1, step S9-2, step S9-3, ...).

  FIG. 10 is a view showing an example of a display screen on which display in a special mode is stopped for content designated as important on the talk room screen. Here, as shown in FIG. 10, the control unit 211 of each terminal 20 does not display the area 505 including the icon 505 of FIG. 6 and at least a part of the message 308 designated as important. .

  In addition, when there are a plurality of contents designated as important, the control unit 211 of each terminal 20 stops displaying only one piece of content designated as non-important in a special mode. . FIG. 11 is a view showing an example of a display screen in which display of one of the plurality of contents designated as important in the talk room screen in a special mode is stopped. When the designation that the message 308 is important is canceled by the operation on the screen of FIG. 9A, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20, as shown in FIG. 11, an area 601 including at least a part of the message 308. Do not display the Also, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 displays an icon 1101 that displays “2”, which is a value obtained by subtracting 1 from “3”, which is the value displayed by the icon 801 in FIG. 9A.

  Also, it is possible to display only one content designated as important. When the new content is specified as important, the control unit 211 of each terminal 20 changes the content specified as important before the specification to the content that is no longer important and deletes the display or You want to hide. On the other hand, the content designated as important by the designation is displayed in the area 601 in a special manner. This prevents inadvertent increase of content designated as important.

First Modified Example
In the embodiment described above, an example has been described in which one user included in the group related to the talk room can designate the importance transmitted by the other users as the importance and cancel the designation. Instead of this, one user included in the group related to the talk room may be able to designate as important and cancel the designation only for the content transmitted by the user. This makes it possible to prevent the display of the talk room screen from being obscured, for example, due to inappropriate operation of importance designation or designation cancellation from another user of the talk group, or the like.

  In this case, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 responds to the message 308, for example, in response to pressing of the message 308 which is the content transmitted by the user of the own terminal 20 on the talk room screen of FIG. And the important icon 401 is displayed. Then, when any of the messages 301B to 304B transmitted by the user of the other terminal 20 is pressed, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 does not display the important icon associated with the pressed message. This makes it impossible to designate content that is sent from another user as important.

  Further, when the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 cancels the designation of importance, the message 308 which is the content transmitted by the user of the own terminal 20 is displayed on the talk room screen of FIGS. 9A to 9B. When the user presses the long area 601, the delete button associated with the area 601 is displayed. On the other hand, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 causes the user A to press and hold the area 911 or the area 912 in which the content transmitted by the user of the other terminal 20 is displayed on the talk room screen of FIGS. 9A to 9B. However, the delete button associated with the area 911 or the area 912 is not displayed. This makes it impossible to cancel the designation as important for the content transmitted from other users.

Second Modified Example
In the embodiment described above, when one user included in the group related to the talk room designates the predetermined content as important and performs the specification cancellation, the terminal 20 of the other user included in the group Also, an example has been described in which the predetermined content is displayed in a special mode or the display is stopped. Instead of or in addition to this, when the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 designates that the predetermined content is important for the predetermined content, and performs the specification cancellation, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 of the one user Only the display of the predetermined content may be displayed in a special mode, or the display may be stopped.

  In this case, for example, when the control unit 211 of the terminal 20A specifies that the content transmitted by a user other than the user A is important, the terminal 20A transmits the metadata of step S3 to the server 10 Do not do it. As a result, it is possible to manage the content important to the user A only by the own terminal 20A without affecting the display of the terminals 20 of other users included in the group.

Third Modified Example
Instead of or in addition to canceling the designation of being important in response to the user's operation, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 performs a predetermined period (for example, two weeks etc., an example of the “second period”. ) May be canceled automatically as it is designated as important.

  In this case, for example, when a predetermined period of time has elapsed after the user has specified that the predetermined content is important, the control unit 211 of the terminal 20 executes the processing of step S7, and the predetermined content is no longer important. Metadata to the server 10 is transmitted.

  Alternatively, when a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the user designated that the predetermined content is important, the control unit 110 of the server 10 performs the process of step S8-1, step S8-2, step S8-3, and so on. And transmit metadata indicating that the predetermined content is no longer important to the terminals 20A, 20B, 20C, etc. of the users included in the group.

  This makes it possible to prevent messages that are not important on the talk room screen from being displayed for a long time. Here, the predetermined period may be determined according to the number of users included in the group related to the talk room. As a non-limiting example, in a talk room in which N people participate, the predetermined period may be N days, 7 days for 2 to 10 people, 14 days for 11 or more people, and so on.

Second Embodiment
In the second embodiment, important content is automatically selected based on the content transmitted and received in the group related to the talk room. The second embodiment is the same as the first embodiment except for a part of the second embodiment, so the description will be appropriately omitted. In the following, description of parts in common with the first embodiment will be omitted, and only different parts will be described. The contents described in the second embodiment can be applied to any of the other embodiments.

<Processing>
Next, processing of the control unit 110 of the server 10 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing of the server 10 according to the second embodiment. The following processing may be performed by the terminal 20. In this case, for example, a user included in a group relating to a talk room may be designated, and executed by the terminal 20 of the user who caused the server 10 to generate data of the talk room.

  In step S101, the control unit 110 determines the length of the first period and the second period in the group related to the talk room. Here, the control unit 110 may determine the first period and the second period according to the number of users included in the group. Note that the second period may be longer than the first period.

  By way of example and not limitation, in a talk room in which N persons participate, the control unit 110 may set the first period to N hours, the second period to N days, and in the case of 2 to 10 persons, the first period to 7 The second period may be seven days, and in the case of 11 or more, the first period may be 14 hours, and the second period may be 14 days. Also, these conditions may naturally be combined, and may be determined based on a designated cancellation history or the like that is important by the user, or may be set for each talk room by the user.

  Subsequently, the control unit 110 selects important content based on the length of the first period and each content transmitted / received in the group (step S102). Here, for example, among the users included in the group, the control unit 110 controls the content read or read by a user having a predetermined number or more or a user having a predetermined ratio (for example, 30%) or more within the first period. It may be selected as important content.

  Here, when one content is displayed on the screen in the talk room screen in response to a user operation, the control unit 110 may make the one content read, or may respond to the user operation. When the talk room screen is displayed, each content transmitted and received at that time may be read.

  In addition, after the content is transmitted and received in the group, the control unit 110 transmits and receives the predetermined content after a predetermined period elapses, and then transmits and receives another content in the group in the first period, The content of may be determined to be a reply to the predetermined content.

  Alternatively, the control unit 110 determines the context of the content transmitted and received in the group using, for example, the result of machine learning such as deep learning, and whether or not the other content is a reply to the predetermined content. It may be determined.

  Subsequently, the control unit 110 transmits metadata indicating that the selected predetermined content is important to the terminal 20A, the terminal 20B, the terminal 20C, and the like of each user included in the group (step S103).

  Subsequently, the control unit 110 detects that the second period has elapsed since the selection of the predetermined content (step S104).

  Subsequently, the control unit 110 transmits metadata indicating that the predetermined content is no longer important to the terminals 20A, 20B, 20C, etc. of the users included in the group (step S105).

Fourth Modified Example
In the control unit 211 of each of the terminals 20 of the users included in the group related to the talk room, the processes of step S101 and step S102 described above may be executed. In this case, each terminal 20 may not transmit the metadata described above to another terminal 20 via the server 10. Thereby, in the terminal 20, important content in the talk room can be extracted automatically, and the extracted content can be displayed in a special manner.

<Effect of the embodiment>
Conventionally, when a plurality of reply messages and the like have been transmitted and received, for example, for one message and the like on the talk room screen, the user has to search for the one message while scrolling the screen. In this case, for example, when a relatively large number of messages such as acknowledgments or messages of appreciation or blessing are returned to the message notifying the tomorrow's meeting place, the message notifying the user's birthday, etc. It may take some time to find the first message etc. to be replied to.

  According to each embodiment of the present disclosure described above, the information related to the predetermined content or the predetermined content is displayed on the screen in a mode different from other contents. Thereby, predetermined content can be browsed more easily. In addition, since the operation becomes easier, the processing load of the terminal 20 can be reduced as a result.

  Although the embodiments of the present disclosure have been described based on the drawings and examples, it should be noted that those skilled in the art can easily make various changes and modifications based on the present disclosure. Therefore, it should be noted that these variations and modifications are included in the scope of the present disclosure. For example, each means, functions included in each step, etc. can be rearranged so as not to be logically contradictory, and it is possible to combine or divide a plurality of means, steps, etc. into one. . In addition, the configurations shown in the respective embodiments may be combined as appropriate.

  The server 10 and the terminal 20 are examples of the “information processing apparatus”.
