That is, this embodiment may be anything as far as it relates to social viewing.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a system environment of an impression sharing service of television broadcasting, which is temporarily referred to as an “emograph (emotional graph)” according to the embodiment. In the same figure, SNS servers 2A to 2C of company A, company B and company C respectively providing SNS are connected to the network 1 such as the Internet, and the present embodiment provided by, for example, the company A. The emograph server 3 providing the service according to is connected.

Furthermore, portable terminals 4 and 5 serving as client apparatuses used by the user in the present system are connected to the network 1 via the access point (AP) 6 or the base station 7.

Each of the SNS servers 2A to 2C is a server device operated by each company in order to provide the existing SNS, and stores account information including registered member individuals and their relationships in a database.

The emograph server 3 is a server device operated by company A, similar to the SNS server 2A, for a television broadcast impression sharing service.

On the other hand, mobile terminals 4 and 5 on the client side are smartphones and feature phones (
feature phone), etc., for example, Android (registered trademark), iO
It may be a mobile phone operating on an OS such as S (registered trademark), or may be a notebook personal computer, a mobile computer, a tablet computer, or the like. In any case, it is assumed that an application program for the television broadcast comment sharing service “Emograph” according to the present embodiment is installed in the portable terminals 4 and 5 in advance.

The hardware configurations themselves of the SNS servers 2A to 2C, the emograph server 3, and the electronic circuits of the portable terminals 4 and 5 are very general and well-known, and the description and description thereof will be omitted.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described.
FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing processing contents between the mobile terminal 5 on the client side and the emograph server 3 which is a basic concept of the present embodiment.
In particular, FIG. 2 shows that the emograph server (server) 3 counts the emotions from the mobile terminal 5 each time the mobile terminal 5 on the user (client) side performs emo transmission, and the tabulated result is sent to the user. Is configured to reply.

That is, the portable terminal 5 side stands by to perform emo transmission (step C01). Then, when it is determined that an operation to perform emo transmission is performed, emo transmission processing is executed from the portable terminal 5 toward the emograph server 3 according to the setting of the push notification described later (step C02). ).

One of the emograph servers 3 is always waiting for the client side to make an emo transmission (step S01). When receiving the emo transmission from the portable terminal 5, the emograph server 3 executes a tallying process, which is set in advance, which will be described later, and returns the tally result to the portable terminal 5 (step S02).

After transmitting the emo to the emograph server 3, the portable terminal 5 stands by for the tally result from the emograph server 3 to be returned (step C03). When it is determined that the tally result has been sent back from the emograph server 3, the portable terminal 5 displays the tally result sent back on the screen, and additionally executes voice notification processing as needed. It can be recognized to the user that the emo transmission has been properly processed on the emograph server 3 side.

Hereinafter, the operation from the state in which the portable terminal 5 logs in to the emograph server 3 will be described in more detail.
FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the processing performed by the emograph server 3 up to login in the case of receiving access from the portable terminal 5 via the network 1.

If there is an access to the emograph server 3 via the network 1 from the mobile terminal 4 on which the application program of the emograph is installed, the start of the program causes the emograph server 3 to start the process at that time. I'm joining,
Based on the result of registration of emotions (emo) for all members regardless of whether they are friends of the user of the portable terminal 5, together with a graph (hereinafter referred to as "emograph" in the drawings) reflecting that Data of a list image of a television program being broadcast is formed and transmitted to the portable terminal 5 that has been accessed (step S101).

FIG. 5 is a view exemplifying an image of a program list displayed on the screen of the portable terminal 4 at this time. In the same figure, TV program names and broadcast time zones are displayed for each channel for all seven channels from channel 1 (ch) to channel 8 (ch) as of 4 pm, and members at that time are displayed. It displays an emograph for everyone.

This emograph is a bar graph consisting of three colors, for example, red, yellow and blue, expressing the impressions of members in color, and the length of the bar graph, that is, the number of members viewing each program according to the absolute number of members. The tendency can be understood, and the contents of the program and the degree of satisfaction can be predicted to a certain extent by the program name and the degree of color classification of the three colors.

With respect to the display of the program list, the emograph server 3 waits for any channel to be selected on the portable terminal 5 side (step S102). Then, when one of the channels is selected, the emograph server 3 prompts the member to register or log in to the image of "program timeline" which is the member's impression list regarding the television program of the selected channel. Data of the image on which the image is superimposed and sent back to the portable terminal 5 (step S
103).

FIG. 6 is a view exemplifying an image of a program timeline displayed on the screen of the portable terminal 5 at this time. In this screen, in order to share the impression on the TV program among the friends, the window W11 with the guide message "You need to register / login to display friends" and the operation button "New registration / login" Distribute and wait for the same operation button to be selected.

Then, when the operation button is selected and operated, the emograph server 3 further transmits data of an image prompting selection of either “new registration” or “login” to the portable terminal 5, and either of them is By being selected and operated, for example, it is determined whether or not the selected one is "new registration" (step S104).

FIG. 7 is a view exemplifying an image displayed on the screen of the portable terminal 5 for prompting selection of either “new registration” or “login”. Here, the functions on the "Emograph" are displayed as the icons "Friend display", "Emo", "Check in" and "Comments" and "New registration"
Or it displays a "login" button and prompts you to select one of them.

Here, each of the above functions will be briefly described.
The "friends display" is a friend of another SNS registered in advance by the user of the portable terminal 4 or 5, and a friend who is using the application program of "Emograph" at that time, for example, the friend's It is a function for displaying using an avatar or the like.
"Emo" is a function for the user to give a rough impression on television programs.
"Check in" is a function for confirming the participation statement set to perform the "comment" function below.
The “comment” is a function for the user to express an impression on a television program by text information and transmit it.

When “new registration” is operated from the image shown in FIG. 7 in the mobile terminal 5, the emograph server 3 determines that in step S 104 in the above, and a plurality of SNSs are performed on the mobile terminal 5.
Form and transmit an image data prompting one of the choices (step S105)
.

FIG. 8 illustrates an image of new registration displayed on the screen of the portable terminal 5 at this time. Here, it consists of three steps in the whole of new registration, and it is "A (provided by the company) SNS", "B (provided by the company) SNS", "C (provided by the company), along with the current step being the first step. Do) S
The three operation buttons “NS” are displayed to prompt the user to operate any of them.

For example, when "A. SNS" is selected in the portable terminal 5, the emograph server 3 accepts it, and using the account of the user of the portable terminal 5, the corresponding A company SNS server 2A
, And collectively acquires account information of the user of the portable terminal 5 and a friend registered by the user (step S106).

At this time, with respect to the account information of the friend registered by the user of the portable terminal 5, if the system of the SNS in which the user of the portable terminal 5 can set the priority, the set priority is used according to the setting. It may be determined whether to display or not.

The processes in steps S105 and S106 are not performed on only one selected SNS, but can be performed on a plurality of SNSs.

FIG. 9 exemplifies an image based on data from the emograph server 3 displayed after “A. SNS” is selected from the state of FIG. Here, the emograph server 3
Execute the process of “new registration” on the side, and it is the second step among the three steps,
The image of the avatar of the user of the portable terminal 5 obtained from the A company SNS server 2A, the handle name in the SNS, and the friend who is currently registered in this SNS that having registered using "A. SNS" It also shows that three people participate in the "Emograph". further,
Also with regard to other "B. SNS" and "C. SNS", together with an operation button for selecting addition of a friend in cooperation, a button prompting transition to the next step is also displayed.

FIG. 10 exemplifies an image based on data from the emograph server 3 when the “B. SNS” button is operated on the portable terminal 5 from the display screen of FIG. Here, in addition to being the second step in the three steps as in the above-mentioned FIG.
It is displayed that "3 friends are added using". Here, with regard to "C. SNS" which has not been selected yet, together with an operation button for selecting addition of a friend in cooperation, a button for prompting transition to the next step is also displayed.

As described above, according to the process in the portable terminal 5 regarding the new registration, the emograph server 3 executes the new registration process regarding the user of the portable terminal 5 according to the procedure set in advance (step S107).

If it is determined in step S104 that the new registration is not made, that is, if the mobile terminal 5 determines that "login" is selected from the screen shown in FIG. Data of an image prompting selection of one of a plurality of SNSs is formed and transmitted (step S108).

At this time, the login image displayed on the screen of the portable terminal 5 is that the item “new registration” in FIG. 8 is replaced with “login” and that a guide message prompting selection of SNS at login is displayed. Except for the fact that the three operation buttons of actual "A. SNS", "B. SNS" and "C. SNS" are displayed, and the subsequent operation and the like are substantially the same as in the case of the above new registration.

Then, when, for example, “A. SNS” is selected in the portable terminal 5, the emograph server 3 accepts that “A. SNS” is selected, and responds using the account of the user of the portable terminal 5. The company SNS server 2A is accessed, and the account information of the user of the portable terminal 5 and the friend registered by the user is integrated and acquired (step S109).

The processes in steps S108 and S109 are not performed on only one selected SNS, but can be performed on a plurality of SNSs.

FIG. 11 illustrates an image based on data from the emograph server 3 displayed after “A. SNS” is selected. Here, “login” on the side of the emograph server 3
The image of the avatar of the user of the portable terminal 5 obtained from the A company SNS server 2A that the process of is performed and it is the second step among the three steps and that it has been registered using “A. SNS” And the handle name in the SNS is displayed. In addition, other "B. SNS"
With "C. SNS", along with the operation button that chooses to cooperate and add a friend,
A button prompting to move to the next step is also displayed.

The new registration process (FIG. 9, FIG. 10) in the step S107 or the step S10
Following the log-in process at 9 (FIG. 11), the emograph server 3 prompts the user to select image data to set whether or not to set a push notification function for confirming a friend watching the same TV program. It transmits to the portable terminal 5, and the operation result with respect to the image is judged (step S
111).

FIG. 12 is a view exemplifying an image prompting the setting of the push notification displayed on the screen of the portable terminal 5 at this time. Here, the process of “setting of notification” is the final and third step among the three steps, and an example of a face of a friend's avatar and a part of post contents of a comment are exemplified, and then a push notification is made. By "OK (setting)", a guide message indicates that a friend watching the same TV program can confirm. Furthermore, the operation buttons for "set push notification" are also displayed.

By operating the operation button on the portable terminal 5 side, the emograph server 3 transmits, to the portable terminal 5, data of an image for selecting whether to perform the same setting.
FIG. 13 is a view exemplifying an alert screen displayed on the screen of the portable terminal 5 at this time, whether or not the setting of the push notification is permitted. In the same figure, the "Emograph" displays a guide message confirming whether it is necessary to send a push notification to the user and also displays the "OK (Permit)" and the "Disallow" operation buttons together. There is.

The emograph server 3 determines which operation button has been operated on the portable terminal 5 with respect to the alert image of FIG.

Here, when “OK (permit)” is operated, the emograph server 3 that has received the operation from the portable terminal 5 determines that in the above step S 111 and performs setting of a push notification regarding the portable terminal 5. Then, the data of the image indicating that the push notification has been set is transmitted to the portable terminal 5 (step S112), and the processing for login shown in FIG. Transition.

Further, when the operation button “do not permit” is operated from the screen shown in FIG. 13 on the portable terminal 5, the emograph server 3 that has received the operation from the portable terminal 5 proceeds to the step S1.
Data of the image which shows that the push notification is not set with respect to the mobile terminal 5 and the display of the avatar of the friend etc. is not made to the mobile terminal 5 while not determining the push notification regarding the mobile terminal 5 at 11 Is transmitted (step S113), and the process for login shown in FIG. 3 is completed as described above, and the process proceeds to the process after login.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing the contents of processing executed by the emograph server 3 in response to a call from the portable terminal 5 or the like logged in.
Whether the transmission from the portable terminal 5 relates to the transmission of emo
Step S201) Whether the transmission is related to the setting of check-in (step S205)
), Whether to send a comment of a television program (step S207), whether or not it is a setting change of a push notification (step S211), or whether it is a sending for logout (step S213) , Are sequentially and repeatedly determined to wait for one of these states.

When the emo transmission for the television program is made from the portable terminal 5 to the emograph server 3, the emographic server 3 having received this makes a decision in the above step S201, and at that time, a push notification of the user of the portable terminal 5 Emo transmission processing is executed according to the setting state of (step S202).

FIG. 14 is a diagram showing the configuration of a database (DB) of the emograph server 3. For example, the emograph server 3 holds emotion information such as laughter, cry, anger, ID, address, age, gender, SNS account, position information, channel, program name, program content, maximum number of emo calls maximum number, It holds information such as the program start time and the program end time.

Incidentally, FIG. 15 exemplifies a configuration of a database (DB) of the emograph server 3 when emo transmission to a moving image site is performed instead of the above-mentioned television program.

Here, the emograph server 3 holds emotion information such as laughter, cry and anger, and
D, address, age, gender, SNS account, location information, title name of video site, UR
It holds information such as L, the number of times of reproduction, the current reproduction position, and the total time.

Furthermore, FIG. 16 exemplifies a configuration of a database (DB) of the emograph server 3 when emo transmission to a news site is performed instead of the television program.

Here, the emograph server 3 holds emotion information such as laughter, cry and anger, and
D, address, age, gender, SNS account, location information, news title name, and U
It holds information such as RL.

After the emograph server 3 that has executed the emo transmission process in the above step S202 executes tallying processing for the emo that has been transmitted (step S203), and returns the tally result to the mobile terminal 5 (step S203) After that, the process proceeds to step S205.

FIG. 17 is a diagram showing a process of changing the ratio of the number of emo transmissions, for example, in a television program having a time zone "07:00 to 8:00". It is not an absolute number sent by emo, but the whole
As 00%, three emotions of crying, anger, and laughter can be displayed visually as changes in the number of transmissions of each.

For example, at 7:00, it represents 30% crying, 20% anger, 50% laughing, and 40% crying, 20% angry, and 40% laughing at 7:10.

Therefore, the user of the portable terminal 5 is in one program from 7:00 to 8:00,
The change in the ratio of the number of emo transmissions can be easily grasped, and the user's friend can grasp the general tendency of what kind of impression it was on the same program.

FIG. 18 is a diagram showing a change in the number of emo transmissions of “laughing” particularly performed in a television program from 7:00 to 8:00. For example, at 7:10, the number of emo calls (number of emo calls)
While there are 80 people, at 7:50, it means that 200 users have sent out a feeling of "laughing".

In addition, 7:50 is the maximum value of the emo transmission number. Here, the maximum value of the emo transmission number at that time is defined as the instantaneous maximum emo transmission number.

For example, comparing the momentary maximum audience rating with the momentary maximum emo transmission number, the so-called momentary maximum audience rating is the ratio of those who are actually watching the program while the momentary maximum emo transmission number is simply the program The two are different because they are information that includes not only the viewing of the user but also the emotion of the user for the scene.

The results shown in FIG. 17 and FIG. 18 can be calculated by narrowing down the target users to the friends of the user of the portable terminal 5, and outputting the results including those other than friends. You can also.

FIG. 19 is a view exemplifying a timeline screen of a television program displayed on the portable terminal 5 after login processing. Here, as compared to the timeline screen shown in FIG. 6, since it is after login, it is posting content from only other users registered as friends of the user of the portable terminal 5.

At the top of the screen, the program name and broadcast time of the selected TV program are displayed, and
A detail button MD for displaying a detailed description of the program is displayed, and the red, yellow, and blue emo transmission tendencies, each of which has a face symbol arranged on the basis of the contents of the emo transmission at that time. Is displayed according to its width.

In addition, most of the center of the screen displays the latest contents for a television program at that time. Furthermore, on the lower end side of the screen, as an operation button for emo transmission, from the left side, a button with a symbol of a face smiling at the center in the red frame, a symbol of an angry face at the center in the yellow frame The button which has been arranged and the button which has arranged the symbol of the crying face in the center in the blue frame are displayed.

In the present embodiment, the case of performing color-coded emo transmission in which symbols of the face are arranged is exemplified, but in addition, for example, buttons of “red” and “white” are displayed, and then opposing format is displayed. You can easily build a system that encourages you to vote on one of the song shows.

When one of the buttons for emitting the emo is operated, the emograph server 3 side is determined in step S201, and the emo transmitting process is executed according to the setting state of the push notification.

That is, as processing regarding emo transmission performed by the emograph server 3, after confirming that the portable terminal 5 is set to check in at that time, account information of the user of the portable terminal 5 who has logged in and Associate and register emo information on the transmitted TV program.

Along with this registration, the emograph server 3 adds up the emo information transmitted by the user of the portable terminal 5 to the television program, specifically, in the target registered as a friend of the user of the portable terminal 5. A tabulation process and a tabulation process for all the emograph members who have not been registered as friends are executed (step S203).

Thereafter, the emograph server 3 converts the tallying result according to the setting state of the push notification of the portable terminal 5 at that time into image data and returns it to the portable terminal 5 according to the tallying result (step S204), It returns to the process from step S205.

In FIG. 20, from the state where the screen of FIG. 19 is displayed, the user of the portable terminal 5 setting the push notification arranged the symbol of the angry face in the center of the lower part of the screen, within the yellow frame It is a figure which illustrates the response picture from emograph server 3 to the result of emo dispatch by operating a button.

Here, as with the user of the portable terminal 5, it corresponds that the friend who operated the button which arranged the symbol of the angry face in the yellow frame corresponds to 30 [%] with respect to the whole friend who sent emo Displayed with images of some avatars of friends.

In the system in which posting is performed by the portable terminal 5, the emograph server 3 can specify the current position of the portable terminal 5 from the information of the base station and the access point, etc. It is good also as what carries out the tabulation processing linked | related with the area with respect to the said content, and is made to be reflected on a tabulation result.

When the user of the portable terminal 5 does not perform the setting of the push notification, as shown at the upper part of the screen of FIG. In addition to displaying the post tendency of emo, yellow and blue, according to its width,
An image is displayed on the portable terminal 5 such that a guide message indicates that the avatar of the friend can be displayed by setting the push notification.

When the user of the portable terminal 5 operates the detail button MD in the upper part of the screen from the state of displaying the screen of FIG. It is determined whether or not the user of has set up a push notification.

Then, when it is determined that the push notification is set, the emographics server 3 transmits the emo of red, yellow, and blue emo transmitted to the television program at that time, each of which has the face symbol arranged thereon. The data of the image which displays the posting tendency and the image of the avatar of the friend by expanding the range is formed and sent back to the portable terminal 5.

FIG. 21 illustrates an image displayed on the screen of the portable terminal 5 at this time. In this figure, the range showing the posting tendency of friends sent by emo is greatly expanded and displayed compared to the image shown in FIG. 19 above, and for each of red, yellow and blue areas. , At least a part of the avatar image of the friend who made the emo transmission is displayed. By selecting one of these avatar images of the friend and performing a touch operation, it is possible to know other television programs recently checked in by the friend.

FIG. 22 exemplarily shows an image displayed on the portable terminal 5 when the avatar image of the friend A11 is touch-operated from the blue area on the screen of FIG. 21 where the symbol of the crying face is arranged. It is a figure to do. At this time, the emograph server 3 searches for another television program that the person has recently checked in from the account information of the friend selected by the touch operation,
By converting the search device into image data and returning it to the portable terminal 5, display on the portable terminal 5 side as shown in FIG. 22 becomes possible.

As to the selection of avatar images of such friends, if the system is capable of setting priorities for friends as described above, the display form of avatar images is changed according to the set priorities. Alternatively, the state of progress from the selection to the next display state may be changed.

When the setting of the push notification is not made, the emograph server 3 replaces the display of FIG. 21 and FIG. 22 and displays the face symbol on each of the upper part of the image of FIG. A red, yellow, and blue emo transmission post tendency content is updated and displayed again, and by setting a push notification, a guide message indicating that the avatar image of a friend can be displayed is superimposed. The data of the image may be returned to the portable terminal 5.

When it is determined in step S207 that the comment of the television program has been sent from the portable terminal 5, the emograph server 3 that has received the comment corresponds to the setting state of the push notification of the user of the portable terminal 5 at that time. A comment transmission process for a television program is executed (step S208).

After that, the update process on the comment of the television program is executed based on the transmitted comment information (step S209), and the update result is returned to the mobile terminal 5 (step S210), and then the above-mentioned step is performed. It transfers to the process from S211.

In FIG. 23, the detail button MD at the upper part of the screen described in FIG. 19 is operated to display an image for explaining the details of the television program. Furthermore, it is a figure which illustrates the display screen in the state as which the "comment" button in the same image was temporarily selected.

In this case, when the actual comment input frame CI in the lower part of the screen is operated, character input becomes possible, and the user can create an arbitrary comment and transmit (post).

The information on the comment transmitted in this manner is added to the comments from other users who are registered as friends on the side of the emograph server 3 as described above, and the contents set for updating are returned to the portable terminal 5 and displayed. Be done.

As described above in detail, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to share in real time, among friends, impressions and the like on events such as a television program in line with the user's emotions.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the television program is viewed since the graph image, which is color-coded according to the emotional option, is displayed as the aggregation result together with the symbol representing a simple facial expression for each television program. It is very easy to visually understand the impressions of friends, and it is possible for them to participate more freely in order to transmit their impressions.

In addition, in the above embodiment, when displaying the comments, comments, etc. of the friends, each SN
