Description

  The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus, a method for controlling the information processing apparatus, and a program related to a service system for exchanging messages between a plurality of user terminals forming a group.

  In recent years, there are many services (messaging services) for so-called chat, which exchange messages between a plurality of user terminals via a network. In this messaging service, users who use the service can form a group, and users in the group can exchange messages (conversation) in real time.

  Here, when the user who belongs to the group cannot participate in the conversation in the group in real time, it is necessary to check the content of the conversation conducted between the groups later. When there are many unconfirmed messages, it is laborious to confirm all the messages from one. Furthermore, if the number of users in the group is large, or if there are a plurality of belonging groups that did not participate in the conversation, the number of unread messages increases and it takes a lot of time to confirm. Therefore, if the user can know in advance a conversation to be confirmed with high priority in the group, such as a conversation at a timing when conversations are frequently exchanged between the groups (conversation is excited), It is very convenient for the user.

  In order to solve this problem, Patent Document 1 describes the types of relationships between messages based on the history of operations performed by a plurality of users on each of a plurality of messages and the similarity of contents between the messages. There is disclosed a system for identifying a message having a strong relationship with many messages as valuable knowledge by using a means for extracting the strength.

<Compliance with communication secrets>
It should be noted that when the invention described in this specification is carried out, it is carried out in compliance with legal matters concerning confidentiality of communication.

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram for explaining the outline of the present invention. As described above, when the user does not participate in the conversation in the group in real time, there arises a problem that there are many unconfirmed messages (unread messages). Therefore, it is convenient for the user to determine the conversation to be confirmed with priority among the unconfirmed conversations. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a message that triggers frequent conversations (triggers a conversation excitement) based on a predetermined condition regarding the time when a message is transmitted by each user, It is specified as a trigger message. Then, the information regarding the trigger message is displayed on the terminal device of the user. Therefore, the user can immediately know the conversation to be confirmed with priority among the unread messages. Here, "conversation" is used to mean "message exchange", "speak" and "post" to mean "user sends message".

  In the example of FIG. 9, the trigger message displays Trigger100 and Trigger200 are displayed on the display screen of the user. This trigger message is a message extracted in the conversation shown on the message display screens TalkRoom100 and TalkRoom200, respectively. For example, in TalkRoom100, "14:30", "14:50", and "15:20" were spoken at intervals of 20 minutes or more, but after "15:20", "15:21" and "15: 21 ”and“ 15:22 ”, frequently speaking within 1 minute or less. In other words, the statement "15:20" ("Please give us your opinion about your next presentation strategy") was the statement that triggered the frequent exchange of messages by users in the group, and users who did not participate in the conversation in real time. Can be said to be a high priority statement. Even in the example of the message display screen TalkRoom200, after the statement of "21:50" ("I decided the practice menu the day after tomorrow"), there were frequent statements in the group, and this "21:50" statement was made. , Can be said to be a high priority statement.

  In the trigger message display, the information of the trigger message such as the group name in which the conversation including the trigger message is held, the image of the speaker of the trigger message, the speaking time, and the content of the speech is displayed. For example, the trigger message display Trigger100 is a statement made in the conversation between the users of the group name "Group XYZ" at "15:20" on "8/27", and "Please give us your opinion on the strategy for the next presentation." It is said that it is a statement. In addition, the trigger message display Trigger200 is a statement made in the conversation between the users of the group name "Group ABC" at "21:50" on "8/27" and "I decided the practice menu tomorrow." It is said that it is a statement.

  The trigger message display may be displayed so that the user can select it. For example, in FIG. 9, the user's terminal device is a smartphone, and the user can display the conversation content including the trigger message by tapping the trigger message displays Trigger100 and Trigger200 displayed on the display screen. The message display screen TalkRoom100 is a display screen of the user terminal when the trigger message display Trigger100 is selected. The message display screen TalkRoom200 is a display screen when the trigger message display Trigger200 is selected. As shown in the figure, in the messaging service according to the embodiment of the present invention, conversations within a group are displayed in time series for each group. At that time, a balloon for displaying a message is displayed in the vicinity of the speaker's icon in order to indicate which user is speaking. Each user can freely set this icon. The above is the outline of the present invention.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a service system configuration according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the service system 400 includes a server 100, terminal devices 200A to 200C, and a network 300. The server (information processing device) 100 is connected to the terminal devices 200A to 200C via the network 300. Although only three terminal devices are shown in FIG. 1 for the sake of simplicity, it goes without saying that there may be more terminal devices.

  The terminal devices 200A to 200C are communication terminals represented by smartphones and the like. The terminal devices 200A to 200C perform chat, which is a part of the service according to the embodiment of the present invention, by using a messaging application provided by the service side (hereinafter, abbreviated as “message application”). The terminal device 200A forms a group together with the terminal devices 200B and 200C and a plurality of other terminal devices (not shown), and messages are exchanged between the groups. At that time, when a message is transmitted from a certain terminal device (for example, the terminal device 200A) to the group, the message is transmitted to the other terminal devices of the group excluding the terminal device 200A. That is, the server 100 has a function of relaying communication between the terminal devices, receives the message transmitted by the terminal device 200A via the network 300, and transmits the message to the terminal devices 200B and 200C. The transmitted message is received via the network 300 and transmitted to the terminal devices 200A and 200C. In addition, the server 100 receives the information regarding the operation instruction content input by the user at the input accepting units of the terminal devices 200A to 200C, and performs the process according to the instruction content.

  The terminal device 200A may belong to a group that does not include the terminal devices 200B and 200C. That is, each terminal device can form a plurality of groups together with other terminal devices.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the server 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the server 100 includes a communication unit 110, a control unit 120, and a storage unit 130. Although the details will be described later, the functions of these units will be briefly described.

  The communication unit 110 includes a receiving unit 111 and a transmitting unit 112, and executes communication (transmission / reception of various data and messages) with the user's terminal devices 200A to 200C via the network 300 according to an instruction from the control unit 120. Have a function. The communication may be performed by wire or wireless, and any communication protocol may be used as long as mutual communication can be performed. Here, the message is not limited to a text message, but includes an image, a sound, a moving image, a stamp (digital sticker), and the like.

  The receiving unit 111 receives a message addressed to a plurality of users that form the group from terminals of a plurality of users that form the group. The transmission unit 112 transmits a message from another user of the group to a terminal device of one user included in the group, the message being addressed to a plurality of users that form the group. That is, when a message is sent to the group from another terminal device in the group including the terminal device 200A, the message is sent to the terminal device 200A and other terminal devices in the group. In addition, the transmission unit 112 transmits display information described below to the terminal device.

  Further, the receiving unit 111 receives, from the user terminal, the read information indicating that the message has been read by the user, that is, the message has been read by the user. Here, "read" means that, in the terminal device to which the message is transmitted, the display unit displays a screen for displaying the message. On the contrary, the message being “unread” means that the screen for displaying the message has never been displayed on the terminal device. When the terminal device causes the display unit to display a screen for displaying the received message, the terminal device generates already-read information and transmits it to the server 100. As described above, since it is possible for the server 100 to determine whether or not the message transmitted to the user's terminal device is displayed, it is possible to specify the trigger message described above only for the unread message of the user. Become.

  The control unit 120 is a processor having a function of controlling each unit of the server 100. The control unit 120 includes a determination unit 121, a specification unit 122, and a generation unit 123.

  The determination unit 121 performs various determination processes. The identifying unit 122 performs various calculations (calculations) required to identify the trigger message. For example, the identifying unit 122 calculates the reception time difference between the unread messages based on the reception time of the unread message in the unreceived state of the unread message in the receiving unit 111. Here, the “unread message” refers to a message among the messages sent to the user, in which the above-mentioned read information is not sent from the user to the server. Further, the identifying unit 122 determines, based on the reception time of the unread message that the unread information has not been received from the terminal of the one user, the reception time difference for a predetermined number of consecutive messages among the plurality of unread messages under the predetermined condition. An unread message that satisfies the condition is specified as a trigger message. The predetermined conditions will be described later. The generation unit 123 generates display information that causes the display unit of the user's terminal to display information regarding the trigger message. Note that the generation unit 123 may generate the display information such that when the trigger message is selected by the user, the conversation content including the trigger message is displayed in time series on the display unit of the user's terminal.

  The storage unit 130 is typically realized by various recording media such as an HDD (Hard Disc Drive), SSD (Solid State Drive), and flash memory, and stores various programs and data required for the server 100 to operate. Has the function of storing. The storage unit 130 stores (stores) information about a group (group information table 131), a predetermined condition (condition table 133) necessary for specifying the trigger message, and the like. The storage unit 130 also includes a memory that is realized by, for example, a RAM (Random Access Memory) and functions as a work memory of the control unit 120. The memory stores temporary data (unread message table 132) and the like. The various data stored in the storage unit 130 may be temporarily stored in the memory and then stored in the storage unit 130.

  Next, the terminal device 200 will be described. FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a terminal device 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the terminal device 200 includes a communication unit 210, a control unit 220, a storage unit 230, a voice interface (I / F) 240, a display unit 250, an input receiving unit 260, and a speaker 270.

  The communication unit 210 includes a reception unit 211 and a transmission unit 212, and has a function of executing communication with the server 100 via the network 300. The communication may be executed by wire or wireless, and any communication protocol may be used as long as mutual communication can be executed.

  The control unit 220 is a processor having a function of controlling each unit of the terminal device 200. The control unit 220 includes an information processing unit 221 and a display processing unit 222. The information processing unit 221 has a function of controlling the communication unit 210 to transmit information (message or the like) to the server 100 according to the information input from the input reception unit 260. The information processing unit 221 also has a function of transmitting the information received from the server 100 by the communication unit 210 to the display processing unit 222. The display processing unit 222 has a function of converting the display data transmitted from the information processing unit 221 into pixel information and writing the pixel information in the frame buffer of the display unit 250. In addition, when the display screen of the message received from the server 100 is displayed on the display unit 250, the information processing unit 221 creates already-read information about the message and transmits the read information to the server 100 via the transmission unit 212. .

  The storage unit 230 has a function of storing various programs and various data necessary for the terminal device 200 to operate. For example, the storage unit 230 includes information such as a message application program used to enjoy the service according to the present embodiment. The storage unit 230 is typically realized by various recording media such as an HDD, SSD, and flash memory.

  The display unit 250 is a monitor having a function of displaying an image according to the display data written in the frame buffer by the display processing unit 222, and is typically realized by a liquid crystal display. The display unit 250 displays the message application screen provided from the service side and stored (stored) in the storage unit 230. In addition, the display unit 250 displays the notification transmitted from the server 100. The audio I / F 240 is an interface of the speaker 270 and an earphone (not shown). The speaker 270 may be set to emit a notification sound when the notification is received from the server 100. Also, when a moving image is transmitted as a message, the sound of the moving image is output.

  The input reception unit 260 receives an input from the user and transmits information related to the input to the control unit 220. In the terminal device 200, the input reception unit 260 is realized by a touch panel or the like, detects contact with a pointing tool such as a user's finger or stylus and the contact position, and transmits the coordinates of the contact position to the information processing unit 221. In the present embodiment, the input receiving unit 260 receives the input of a message by the user and the selection for the notification received from the server 100.

  Next, each information stored in the storage unit 130 of the server 100 will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the group information table 131 stored in the storage unit 130. As shown in the figure, the group information table 131 stores user IDs (IDentifiers) of users included in the group. Here, the “user ID” is identification information of the user given to each user by the service provider. In the example of the figure, it can be seen that the group name “Group_ABC” includes the users “User_A”, “User_B” ... “User_H”. Although only one group is shown in the drawing, it goes without saying that a plurality of groups exist and information about them is stored, and that a user may belong to a plurality of groups.

  FIG. 5 is an example of the unread message table 132 stored in the storage unit 130. The example in the drawing is a table regarding messages transmitted to other groups by other users of the group "Group_ABC" to which the user A (user of the terminal device 200A) having the user ID "User_A" belongs. The unread message table 132 is created for a message that has been transmitted to the user A but the read information of which has not been transmitted from the terminal device 200A of the user A, and stores the message ID, the transmission time, the transmitting user, and the like. A similar unread message table 132 is stored for each other user in the group.

  Referring to the unread message table 132 in FIG. 5, it can be seen that the read information has not been received from the terminal device 200A for the message with the message ID “m00001”. Here, in the message with the message ID “m00001”, it can be seen that the “sending user” is “User_H” and the sending time is “14:30”. Further, it can be seen that the transmission time is within 1 minute after the message with the message ID “m00003”, and the message is frequently transmitted.

  The condition table 133 relates to a predetermined condition used when identifying a trigger message from a plurality of unread messages. The conditions for identifying the trigger message will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of the present invention. Note that FIG. 6 corresponds to the unread message table 132 of FIG. FIG. 6A shows unread messages of the user A displayed in time series, and shows speeches by group users other than the user A in a balloon shape. The time displayed below the icon indicates the posting time of the message. Note that in the example of FIG. 6A, the intervals of the balloons are shown in association with the posting time for the sake of explanation.

  In the example of FIG. 6 (a), unread messages are sent at 14:30, 14:50, and 15:20 at intervals of 20 minutes or more, and after 15:20 at intervals of 1 minute or less. There is a message group TR10. The determination unit 121 of the server 100 determines whether or not the read information has been received from the terminal device 200A for the message transmitted to the terminal device 200A, and if not, the information of each message in the unread message table 132. (Sending time, sending user, etc.) is stored. The identifying unit 122 identifies the trigger message based on the unread message table 132 stored in the storage unit 130.

  The generation unit 123 generates display information for displaying the display related to the trigger message on the display unit 250 of the terminal device 200A. FIG. 6B is a diagram showing an example of a trigger message display displayed on the display unit 250. The trigger message display Trgger 100 displays the date and time when the conversation including the trigger message was made, the group name, the content of the trigger message (“Please tell us about your next presentation strategy”), and the icon of the speaker. It should be noted that this trigger message display is generated so that it can be selected by the user A, and the user A taps and selects the trigger message display to display a list of unread messages including the trigger message on the display unit 250. Can be displayed. At this time, a trigger message is displayed on the display unit 250 instead of the oldest unread message (the message received at the earliest time) or the newest unread message (the most recently received message). The generation unit 123 may generate information to be controlled and transmit the information to the terminal device 100A. The trigger message display may be, for example, a pop-up display or may be displayed on the message display screen of the message application.

  The above-mentioned trigger message is specified as follows. For example, the identifying unit 122 is an average value of the reception time difference for a predetermined number of consecutive messages, which is a first average value that is an average value before an unread message and an average value after the unread message. The second average value is calculated for each of a plurality of unread messages, and the first average value is larger than the second average value, and the difference between the first average value and the second average value is the largest unread value. The message can be specified as a trigger message. This will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram for explaining a predetermined condition for specifying the trigger message. In the figure, the horizontal axis is time, and a plurality of vertical lines are messages received by the server 100 at a certain time. In addition, in the figure, messages 21 to 23 are read messages to which read information has been transmitted from the user, and messages 24 and subsequent ones enclosed by a rectangle are unread messages.

  The identifying unit 122 calculates the reception time difference between the messages. For example, the reception time difference t1 between the message 21 and the message 22, the reception time difference t2 between the message 22 and the message 23, and the like. Then, the identifying unit 122, for each unread message 24 to 34, an average value (first average value) of the reception time difference for a predetermined number of messages received before the unread message and a predetermined number of messages received after the unread message. And the average value of the reception time difference (second average value) is calculated. The "predetermined number" is determined according to the number of unread messages, but will be described as "3", for example. The identifying unit 122 calculates an average value (first average value) of the reception time differences t1, t2, t3 for the three messages 21 to 23 received before the unread message 24. That is, the first average value (message 24) = (t1 + t2 + t3) / 3. The identifying unit 122 also calculates an average value (second average value) of the reception time differences t4, t5, and t6 for the three messages 25 to 27 received after the unread message 24. That is, the second average value (message 24) = (t4 + t5 + t6) / 3. The identifying unit 122 calculates the above average value for each of the other unread messages 25 to 34. Then, the determination unit 121 determines whether or not the first average value is greater than the second average value for each unread message, that is, the one before the unread message is received, as compared to after the certain unread message is received. Determines whether the interval between receiving messages is long. Furthermore, the identifying unit 122 calculates the difference between the first average value and the second average value for each unread message, and the determining unit 121 determines whether or not the value of the difference is the largest value, that is, the message. It is determined whether or not the reception interval greatly changes after the reception of a certain unread message. As a result of the determination, the unread message in which the first average value is larger than the second average value and the difference between the first average value and the second average value is the largest is identified as the trigger message by the identifying unit 122. . In the example of FIG. 7, the message 24 is identified as the trigger message. Note that, as described above, the information about the read messages 21 to 23 may be used to calculate the reception time difference. Information about the read message is stored in the storage unit 130.

  As a result, it is possible to specify the trigger message having a high confirmation priority by a simple calculation process using the message reception time.

<Modification 1>
Note that a predetermined condition different from the above may be used to specify the trigger message. For example, the identifying unit 122 may identify the unread message having the smallest ratio of the second average value to the first average value described above as the trigger message. That is, under this condition, the interval before the unread message is received is longer than that after the unread message is received, and the interval at which the message is received is longer than that after the unread message is received. When the change ratio is the largest, the load of the determination process can be reduced and the process can be performed more easily.

<Modification 2>
Further, the identifying unit 122 calculates, for each unread message, the ratio of the number of messages received within a predetermined time after receiving the unread message to the number of messages received within a predetermined time before the unread message is received. However, the unread message having the smallest ratio may be specified as the trigger message. According to this condition, it is possible to specify an unread message in which the number of messages received within a predetermined time (for example, 100 seconds) before and after a certain unread message sharply increases. The predetermined time is determined according to the number of unread messages and the unread time.

  The present invention can also be applied to the case where there are many unread messages (for example, 30 or more). In addition, when there are few unread messages and all the unread messages are displayed on the display screen, the above-mentioned trigger message identification process may not be performed. In this case, the lower limit value may be stored in the storage unit 130, and when the determination unit 121 determines that the number of unread messages has exceeded the lower limit value, the above trigger message identification process may be performed.

<Modification 3>
Further, in the above description, the mode in which all the messages received by the server 100 are used in the process of specifying the trigger message by the specifying unit 122 has been described. However, it is not preferable that the first utterance is specified as the trigger message in a short time continuous utterance made by the same user who has posted a certain person a plurality of times about a certain topic. Therefore, by using the information (user ID) of the speaking user stored in the storage unit 130, the identifying unit 122 uses one message among the messages continuously transmitted from the same user for the identifying process. May be.

  A control method according to the embodiment of the present invention described above will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a flowchart of the control method described above.

  First, information about a group is stored in the storage unit 130 of the server 100 (step S11). The receiving unit 111 receives a group-addressed message transmitted from another user who forms a group, and the storage unit 130 stores the reception time of the message in association with the message (step S12). Then, the transmitting unit 112 transmits the message to the user A (step S13). After that, the determination unit 121 determines whether or not the message transmitted to the user A has received the read information (step S14). If the determination unit 121 determines that the read information has been received, the process returns to step S12, and reception and transmission of a message (relay of communication between terminals) is continued. When the determination unit 121 determines that the read information is not received, the control unit 120 stores the information regarding the unread message in the storage unit 130 (step S15).

  After that, the identifying unit 122 identifies, as the trigger message, one of the unread messages that satisfies a predetermined condition, based on the reception time of the unread message stored in the storage unit 130 (step S15). After that, the generation unit 123 generates display information regarding the trigger message (step S17). This is display information for displaying the trigger message display on the user's terminal device. After that, the transmission unit 112 transmits the generated display information to the user's terminal device (step S18).

  The identification of the trigger message by the identifying unit 122 in step S16 may be performed each time the message is received by the receiving unit 111, or may be performed after the storage unit 130 stores information about unread messages to some extent. You may be broken.

  The effect of the present invention will be described again. According to an embodiment of the present invention, when there is an unread message that the user has not confirmed, information about the unread message with high importance, which is an opportunity for the users in the group to frequently exchange conversations, is provided. Presented to the user. Therefore, the user can determine which message should be prioritized for confirmation in the time-consuming message confirmation work, and can effectively utilize the time.

  Further, according to an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to specify a trigger message having a high confirmation priority with a simple calculation process using the message reception time.

  Further, according to the embodiment of the present invention, in the process using the message reception time, the trigger message can be specified by a simpler process that reduces the load of the determination process.

  Although one embodiment of the invention according to the present invention has been described, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the above-described predetermined number and predetermined time are examples, and other numerical values may be used. Moreover, you may implement | achieve by combining each embodiment.

  Further, the trigger message displayed on the terminal device may be displayed in different display modes according to the priority. For example, the generation unit 123 displays the trigger message display in color, and darkens the color according to the number of messages received within a predetermined time (for example, 3 minutes) after the identified trigger message. The display information may be generated so as to be displayed. Further, a user who has many utterance messages in the group may be stored in the storage unit 130 as an important user, and the utterance by the important user may be displayed in a preset color. This allows the user to promptly infer the type of the trigger message.

  It should be noted that the same group can be configured even if no particular friendship is set between the users. Therefore, for example, a specific friend relationship may not be set between the user A and the user B included in the same group. Here, among the users included in the group, a user with a large number of users having a friendship relationship is considered to have a high degree of importance in the group. Therefore, according to the number of users who have a friendship relationship with the users in the group, the users in the group are ranked and stored in the storage unit 130, and the utterance of a user with a high rank is triggered by the specifying unit 122. It may be specified as a message. As a result, a friendship relationship is set with many users in the group, and a message that is considered to be focused by many users in the group can be specified as a trigger message.

  Further, the generation unit 123 generates display information for displaying a notification recommending that the user who has made a friend relationship with the user who has spoken the message specified as the trigger message to be a friend, and the display information is displayed to the user. It may be transmitted.

  The process of identifying the trigger message may be performed at the timing when the unread message of the user includes a message by a predetermined number or more of other users included in the group. As a result, it is possible to specify, as a trigger message, a message with a high priority focused by many users in the group.

  Furthermore, the trigger message may be displayed by, for example, a push notification or the like, or may be displayed first when the user starts up the message application.

  Further, the terminal device is not limited to the smartphone. The terminal device may be any device as long as it is an information processing device that can realize the functions described in the above embodiments, and includes, for example, a laptop computer, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a mobile phone, a wearable terminal (glasses type, It may be a wristwatch type or the like, or a desktop PC (Personal Computer).

Processing Unit) and may be realized by software. Further, each functional unit may be realized by one or a plurality of integrated circuits, and the functions of a plurality of functional units may be realized by one integrated circuit. The LSI may be referred to as VLSI, super LSI, ultra LSI, or the like depending on the degree of integration.

  When each functional unit of the server 100 is implemented by software, the server 100 or the terminal device 200 reads a computer (or CPU) that executes a command of a program that is software that implements each function, the program, and various data. A ROM (Read Only Memory) or a storage device (these are referred to as a "recording medium") that is recorded as possible, a RAM (Random Access Memory) that expands the program, and the like are provided. Then, the computer (or CPU) reads the program from the recording medium and executes the program to achieve the object of the present invention. As the recording medium, a “non-transitory tangible medium”, for example, a tape, a disk, a card, a semiconductor memory, a programmable logic circuit, or the like can be used. The search program may be supplied to the computer via any transmission medium (communication network, broadcast wave, etc.) capable of transmitting the search program. The present invention can also be realized in the form of a data signal embedded in a carrier wave, in which the search program is embodied by electronic transmission.

  Specifically, the program according to the embodiment of the present invention causes the information processing apparatus (server 100) to realize a reception function, a storage function, a transmission function, a specific function, and a generation function. The reception function, the storage function, the transmission function, the specific function, and the generation function can be realized by the reception unit 111, the storage unit 130, the transmission unit 112, the specification unit 122, and the generation unit 123, respectively.

  The program can be implemented using, for example, a script language such as ActionScript or JavaScript (registered trademark), an object-oriented programming language such as Objective-C or Java (registered trademark), or a markup language such as HTML5.
