  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a participant of a question and answer service according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, each of the participants 300 of the question and answer service according to the present embodiment includes a questioner 310, a respondent 320, a predictor 330, a declarator 340, a verifier 350, and a content consumer 360. At least one of them may be. As a more specific example, the participant 300 accesses the question and answer service providing system such as the server 150 via the network 170 using the plurality of electronic devices 110, 120, 130, and 140 described in FIG. Then, a question and answer service may be provided. In such a question and answer service, among the questioner 310, the respondent 320, the predictor 330, the declarator 340, the verifier 350, and the content consumer 360, May be active as at least one person. As an example, the participant 1 who has registered the question A, registered the answer to the question B, and selected the answer D registered to the question C is the questioner 310, the answerer 320, and the prediction Person 330.

  The interrogator 310 may be a participant who registers the question with the question and answer service. As an example, M (M is a natural number) questions may be registered from N (N is a natural number) participants. At this time, the question may include, for example, a future prediction type question in which an accurate answer exists at least after a predetermined time and the accurate answer can be verified, such as a soccer match result before the end. . The question and answer service providing system may record the identifier of the participant who registers the question as the questioner 310 in the database in association with the registered question. Such a questioner 310 would like a reliable answer and a reasonable and transparent reward commensurate with the activity.

  The respondent 320 may be a participant who registers the answer to the registered question with the question and answer service. At this time, the question registered by the questioner 310 in the question and answer service may be presented to the participant through the question and answer service in a quiz form, and the respondent 320 may select the question selected by himself / herself among the presented questions. Can be registered in the question and answer service. At this time, if the question is a future prediction type question, since the correct answer is not generated, the correctness of the answer of the respondent is not proved at this time. The question and answer service providing system can record the identifier of the participant who registers the answer as the answerer 320 in the database in association with the registered answer and the corresponding question. Such respondents 320 would like to have an entertaining predictive environment and a reasonable reward commensurate with the respondent's 320 contribution.

  The predictor 330 may be a participant selecting an answer registered in the question and answer service. For example, in the case of a future prediction question, as described above, since an accurate answer is not generated, various answers will be present. In this case, the predictor 330 may be a participant who predicts which of the various answers will be the correct answer. The question and answer service providing system can manage information regarding which participant is the predictor 330 and which answer is selected for which question. For example, the question and answer service providing system can record the identifier of the participant who selects the answer as the predictor 330 in the database in association with the selected answer. The predictor 330, like the respondent 320, may want an entertaining predictive environment and a reasonable reward commensurate with the contribution of the respondent 320.

  Declarer 340 may be a participant declaring the exact answer to a particular question. For example, by generating an accurate answer to a future prediction question, the declarator 340 may declare the correct answer of the future prediction question. On the other hand, since the declarer 340 may intentionally declare an incorrect answer with malicious intent, a verifier 350 may be present as shown in FIG. The verifier 350 can verify the accuracy of the answer declared by the declarator 340. Such declarators 340 and verifiers 350 will want a reward for accurate information generation and a reasonable and transparent reward for their activities.

  The content consumer 360 is a participant who consumes content generated in a quiz form of a question and an answer. Such a content consumer 360 would like to be able to select and provide verified accurate information, and to provide information prediction content (questions and answers before an accurate answer is generated) regarding the unknown future. Or content consisting of choices).

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a reward model based on a participant's participation in a question and answer service according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The question generation process 410 may show an example of a process in which the questioner 310 registers a question in a question and answer service. At this time, the question and answer service providing system may subtract the points held by the questioner 310 (411). At this time, the point to be deducted is referred to as smart point A (smart point A, hereinafter, “SMP _A ”). Here, "deduct" may mean a change in points or ownership of coins as described below (as an example, from a participant to the system). The points deducted in the question generation process 410 may be a cost for the questioner 310 to register a question.

The answer registration process 420 may show an example of a process in which the respondent 320 registers the answer to the question in the question and answer service. At this time, the question and answer service providing system may subtract the points held by the respondent 320 (421). At this time, the point to be deducted is referred to as smart point B (hereinafter, “SMP _B ”).

The prediction process 430 may show an example of a process in which the predictor 330 selects an answer registered in the question and answer service. The step of selecting an answer may be a step of selecting which answer is the correct answer to the question. Also in this case, the question and answer service providing system may subtract the points held by the predictor 330 (431). At this time, the point to be deducted is referred to as smart point C (hereinafter, “SMP _C ”).

  The prediction deadline process 440 may show the process until the correct answer to the question is generated and before the declarator 340 declares the generated correct answer. Until the prediction deadline for the question, the participant may register the answer to the question as the respondent 320 or select the answer registered as the predictor 330.

The result registration process 450 may indicate a process in which the declarer 340 declares an accurate answer to the corresponding question. When an accurate answer is generated after a predetermined period of time for the future-predicted question, a participant who recognizes the generated accurate answer may declare the answer to the question as a declarer 340. . In this case, the question and answer service providing system may use the coin held by the declarant 340 as collateral (451). Here, “collateral” may mean that the ownership of points and coins is maintained, but frozen so that they cannot be used. Thereafter, the frozen points and coins may be unfrozen according to conditions, and points and coins may be subtracted or returned, or rewards may be executed. "Return" may mean releasing the frozen points and coins as security while maintaining the ownership of the points and coins. Such coin security 451 may be used to prevent the declarer 340 from intentionally maliciously declaring an incorrect answer. At this time, a coin serving as security is assumed to be a predicted coin D (forecast coin D, hereinafter, “FRC _D ”).

The result verification process 460 may show an example of a process in which the verifier 350 verifies the answer to the question declared by the declarer 340. For example, even though the coin is secured 451, there is a possibility that there is a declarer 340 that has declared an incorrect answer due to a malicious purpose or an error in the answer confirmation process, so the verifier 350 verifies the result. At step 460, the answer to the question declared by such declarator 340 may be verified. At this time, the verifier 350 may also verify the inaccurate answer as an accurate one due to a malicious purpose or an error. Therefore, the verifier 350 may hold the coin as the security 461. At this time, the coin to be secured is assumed to be a predicted coin E (hereinafter, “FRC _E ”).

The end step 470 may show an example of a step of ending the quiz to the question by declaring and verifying the correct answer to the question. At this time, the question and answer service providing system may return the collateral “FRC _E ” to the legal verifier 350 and, as a reward for verification, provide the verifier 350 with the predicted coin F (hereinafter, “FRC _F ”). ) May be provided. In addition, the question and answer service providing system may return the “FRC _D ” as collateral to the legitimate declarant 340, and give the declarator 340 a predicted coin G (hereinafter “FRC _G ”) as a reward for the declaration. May be provided. Furthermore, smart point H (hereinafter, “SMP _H ”) may be provided as a reward to the respondent 320 who has given the correct answer and the predictor 330 who has selected the answer registered by the correct answerer 320. . Finally, the questioner 310 may be provided with a smart point I (hereinafter, “SMP _I ”) as a reward.

  The ranking process 480 may be an example of a process of giving the predicted coin FRC as a reward to the first to nth participants based on the smart point SMP ranking of the participants. The SMP may be used for registering a question or an answer or selecting an answer, and may be used for determining a participant's ranking. The FRC, on the other hand, may be a virtual currency with substantial value, for collateral and rewards that guide the declarant 340 and verifier 350 to make legal declarations and verifications, and even more. It may be used to provide rewards to top ranked SMPs who have contributed to content generation through questions and answers and predictions.

As described above, the questioner 310, the respondent 320, and the predictor 330 are configured with a ranking according to the contribution of the content generation (question / answer / prediction) as described above, whereby the reward (for example, FRC may be paid from the first place to the nth place). Further, the declaration's 340 and verifier 350, (for example, "FRC _F" and "FRC _G") contribution compensation based on the service contribution (declared / verification) may provide.

Further, “SMP _A ” deducted when the questioner 310 registers a question may be a value that is consumed in a fixed amount form, and the questioner 310 receives a reward “SMP _I ” in a commission form at a fixed rate. You may receive it. For example, the reward “SMP _I ” may be calculated as in the following Expression (1).

SMP _I = pot × a / 100 (1)

Here, “pot” means the total points accumulated for the corresponding question, and “a” may mean a fixed percentage (%). As a more specific example, if pot is 10,000 and a is 5, SMP _I will be 500.

“SMP _B ” and “SMP _C ” to be deducted at the time of answer registration or answer selection may be arbitrary values used by the respondent 320 and the predictor 330 for predicting the answer. In this case, respondents 320 and predictor 330, or when you select the correct answer to register the correct, may receive "SMP _H" as a reward. At this time, reward "SMP _H" is (as an example, "SMP _I") fees must be provided to the questioner 310 remaining points excluding may be a value proportional allocation in all correct person. For example, reward "SMP _H" may be calculated by the following expression (2).

SMP _H = [pot- commission] / [point was used for answers prediction] [correct toll] × ··· (2)

Here, the “commission” means a reward provided to the questioner 310, and the “number of correct answers” is the number of the respondents 320 who registered the correct answer, and the predictor 330 who selected the correct answer. The “points used for the response prediction” means the SMP as an arbitrary value used by the individual (the respondent 320 or the predictor 330 receiving the reward) for the response prediction (for example, “ SMP _B "or" SMP _C "). For example, when “pot” is 10,000, “commission” is 500, and “number of correct answers” is 5, the correct answer using 10 points for answer prediction is 19,000 points. You may receive a reward. The point is a value used as a reference for ranking calculation and has no exchange value, so that the point provided as a reward does not necessarily have to be paid in the pot. Such points may be used to limit the number of question / answer registrations and answer selections, and to remove gambling elements from the use of points for question answers and answer selection. It may be used as a method.

Compensation "FRC _G" that will declaration 340. receives, as an example, may be calculated as the following equation (3), reward verifier 350 is to receive the offer "FRG _F" is an example May be calculated as in the following Expression (4).

FRC _G = pot × b / 100 (3)

FRC _F = pot × c / 100 (4)

  Such a reward model may be organized as shown in Table 1 below.

  According to an embodiment, when the respondent 320 or the predictor 330 answers correctly, the question and answer service providing system may determine that the answer time or the prediction time is farther from the answer deadline (prediction deadline) (that is, the answer or prediction is relatively earlier. The more it is, the more a rank point may be provided in a linearly proportional manner.

  According to the embodiment, the reward for the smart point may be provided with a difference depending on the prediction order. For example, 80% of the predicted pots in the query may be distributed in a proportionate manner, and the remaining 20% may be linearly distributed equally by the proportionate proportion and the order of the points used in the prediction. The order of the points used for prediction is the order of use of points, and when all the points used for prediction of the correct answer are N, there is an order from the first to the Nth. .

  When the existing payout ratio “r” is {overall predicted pot} / N, the points acquired in each use order may be calculated as shown in Table 2 below.

  In other words, the ranking point that can be obtained with the n-th used one point may be calculated as in the following equation (5), and the obtained total points may be calculated as in the following equation (6). May be.

  In some embodiments, declaration and validation may be handled in an automated manner. For example, a question and answer service delivery system can automate the declaration and verification by collecting the answers of registered questions from the web, comparing them with the registered answers, and adopting the most similar answer. , The accuracy of the question and answer service can be increased. Also, the question and answer service providing system records the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) used in the declaration and verification process, classifies the content and the field (Hashtag analysis) of the corresponding question, and verifies the verification system. May be built. The constructed verification system can convert the verification into a rating index and apply it to a future declaration / verification stage to automate the verification of the answer to the question.

  Further, the estimated deadline time for the registered question event may be automatically calculated and applied by collecting information from the web. The automatically calculated expected deadline is not the exact answer of the declarant 340 but an expected answer and may be used to block the act of making the declaration.

  The question and answer service described above may be linked to a blockchain. In one embodiment, the question and answer service may be implemented using a smart contract. A smart contract means a computer transaction protocol that executes contract conditions.The contract contract is coded based on blockchain technology, and if the conditions are met, a digital contract-type automated contract system is executed. It may mean. In other words, the questioner 310, the respondent 320, the predictor 330, the declarant 340, the verifier 350, and the content consumer 360 may be participants in a blockchain-based transaction, and in the question and answer service, Contract terms for contracts such as deduction, rewards, collateral, and refunds for points and coins may be implemented as blockchain smart contracts. At this time, smart contracts may be used to perform points such as question / answer registration, answer selection, declaration, verification, and the like, and points and coins automatically deducted, rewarded, secured, and returned based on contract conditions. The coin may be a cryptocurrency provided by the blockchain and may be a currency of exchange value within the services associated with the blockchain. On the other hand, the point has no exchange value in this case, and may be an element used for calculating the ranking or for registering the question / answer and limiting the number of times of selecting the answer. This may be leveraged as a way to remove gambling elements from the use of points for answering questions and selecting answers.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a method for providing a question and answer service according to an embodiment of the present invention. The question and answer service providing method according to the present embodiment may be executed by the computer device 200 described above. For example, the processor 220 of the computer device 200 may be implemented to execute a control instruction according to an operating system code included in the memory 210 and at least one program code. Here, the processor 220 controls the computer device 200 such that the computer device 200 performs steps 510 to 550 included in the method of FIG. 5 according to control instructions provided by the code recorded in the computer device 200. Good.

  At step 510, the computing device 200 can receive a question from the requester. The questions may be received through various channels (eg, websites, mobile sites, applications, etc.) for providing question and answer services. In addition, the received question may be provided to a user who is provided with a question and answer service through various channels. The questioner may be one of the users who receive such a question and answer service, and may correspond to the questioner 310 described above, for example.

  At step 520, the computing device 200 may receive an answer to the question from the respondent. For example, the respondent may select a question desired by himself / herself from the question and the question provided by the answer service, and create an answer to the selected question. The display of the question and the reception of the answer to the question may also be performed on the various channels described above. The respondent may also be one of the users who receive the question and the answer service, and may correspond to the respondent 320 described above, for example.

  In operation 530, the computing device 200 may receive a follow-up to the answer from the answer follower. The answer follower may correspond to the predictor 330 described above, and may predict an answer that he or she thinks is correct from at least one answer registered for one question. Selecting one answer for such correct answer prediction may be referred to as "follow".

  In operation 540, if the correct answer is determined, the computer device 200 may provide the questioner, the answerer, and the answer follower with a difference in points at a predetermined rate.

  In one embodiment, the computer device 200 increases the linearly proportional increase in step 540 as the receiving time of the correct answer or the follow-up receiving time of the correct answer becomes farther from the predicted deadline for the question. Points may be further provided to the respondent who provided the correct answer or the follower who followed the correct answer. In other words, the sooner the respondent registers the correct answer, the sooner the answer follower selects (follows) the correct answer, the more points will be rewarded. .

  In another embodiment, when receiving an answer or receiving a follow-up to an answer, the form in which the respondent's or answer follower's points are used to predict the corresponding answer may be considered. For example, in the question and answer service, at least one of the points previously assigned to the relevant participant according to the registration of the question of the questioner, the registration of the answer of the respondent, or the follow-up to the registered answer of the answer follower, Some may be subtracted. To this end, points may be pre-assigned to each participant of the question and answer service. At this time, the questioner may register the question using a part of the points allocated to him, and the respondent may register the answer using a part of the points allocated to himself. Further, the answer follower may select at least one answer from the registered answers by using a part of the points allocated to the answer follower. In some embodiments, the respondent is restricted so that only one answer can be registered for one question, or restricted so that the predictor can select only one answer from the registered answers. Or you may. Such points have no exchange value and may be used to calculate a participant's ranking. Respondents and predictors can use as many points as they want to register and select (follow) answers, but since points are not exchangeable, they can eliminate gambling elements . In this case, the computer device 200 may increase the number of points obtained as rewards corresponding to the corresponding points in step 540 as the order of use of the points used for predicting the correct answer increases. , Points to be provided to respondents or responding followers may be determined. In other words, the sooner the respondent and / or the responder follow the prediction (finally register the answer or follow the answer), the more reward per point used to predict the correct answer The points will increase. Referring to Table 2, Equation (5) and Equation (6), n (n is a rational number)% of the total prediction points for the registered question is distributed by the equity proportion, and the remaining 100-n% is divided by the equity proportion and A specific example has been described for determining points, which is distributed linearly with a difference or the like according to the prediction order and provided to the respondent or the answer follower.

  In another embodiment, in operation 540, the computer apparatus 200 may provide a predetermined percentage of the total points for the question to the questioner as a reward (see Equation (1)). The points to be provided to the respondent or the respondent follower may be determined based on the ratio of the number of correct answers to the number of points obtained by excluding the first percentage points. Here, the number of correct answers may include the number of received correct answers and the number of follow-ups to correct answers. More specifically, the sum of the number of respondents who register the correct answer and the number of answer followers who follow the correct answer may be the number of correct answerers.

  In operation 550, the computing device 200 may determine the order of points of the questioner, the respondent, and the responding follower based on the provided points. As an example, FIG. 3 illustrates an example in which the SMP ranking is determined, and the participants included in a certain ranking are determined from the determined SMP ranking.

  In operation 560, the computing device 200 may provide coins to at least some of the questioner, the respondent, and the responding follower based on the determined point ranking. As an example, after determining the point ranking of the questioner, the respondent, and the answer follower, a user who has entered a certain ranking may be determined as a user who receives a reward. As an example, rewards may be provided in the form of points and / or coins. As mentioned above, points have no exchange value and may be used to determine a participant's ranking. On the other hand, coins, unlike points, may actually be offered as exchange-valued currency, and are diversified as exchange-valued currency in question and answer services and / or at least one other related service. May be. For example, coins may have an exchange value that can be used to purchase goods and / or services.
