Furthermore, the position (position and angle) of the position of the posting person of the posting information and the position of the browsing person of the posting information are determined. Then, based on the determined format and positional relationship, an image or background color to be displayed together with the posting information is transmitted to the viewing terminal.

  The configuration and operation of the posted information display control device will be described in detail below.

<Configuration of Post Information Display Control Device>
FIG. 1 shows a configuration diagram of a posted information display control apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. The posted information display control apparatus includes a color determining unit 101, a font determining unit 103, an angle determining unit 105, a distance determining unit 107, a display control unit 109, a posted information database 201, a user attribute database 203, a position And an information database 205.

  The posting information database 201 stores the posting information of the poster. FIG. 2 shows an example of the posting information database 201. The posting information includes a user account, posting content, posting date, and posting time. Also, the posting information may include a posting position (latitude and longitude).

  The user attribute database 203 stores contributor attributes. FIG. 3 shows an example of the user attribute database 203. The attributes of the poster include a user account, gender, age, and location (prefecture).

  The position information database 205 stores the correspondence between the position (latitude and longitude) and the prefecture. For example, the position information database 205 holds a correspondence table of latitude and longitude of the prefectural offices of each prefecture and a correspondence table of distances and angles between two different prefectures. Note that, in the following description, when determining the positional relationship between the position of the posted information reader and the posted information position of the posted information, an embodiment using prefectures will be described. When determining the positional relationship, the present invention can also be applied to the case of using a municipality or an arbitrarily determined area. In this case, the position information database 205 may store the correspondence between the position (latitude and longitude) and the municipality or an arbitrarily determined area. The embodiment of the present invention can also be applied to the case of using latitude and longitude when determining the positional relationship. When the latitude / longitude itself is used, the position information database 205 may not exist.

  The color determination unit 101 and the font determination unit 103 determine the format of the posting information based on the attribute of the posting person of the posting information. In particular, the color determination unit 101 determines the color (hue, vividness) of the posted information based on the sex of the poster who posted the posted information. When the poster's age is expressed by the brightness of the color, the color determination unit 101 determines the brightness of the color of the posted information based on the poster's age of the posted information. When the poster's age is expressed in font, the font determining unit 103 determines the font of the posted information based on the poster's age of the posted information.

  The angle determination unit 105 and the distance determination unit 107 determine the positional relationship between the position of the posting information viewer and the position of the posting information posting person. In particular, the angle determination unit 105 determines an angle from the position of the posting information viewer to the position of the posting information posting person. The distance determination unit 107 determines the distance between the position of the posted information viewer and the position of the posted information poster.

  The display control unit 109 controls the display of post information based on the determined format and positional relationship. Hereinafter, three display examples will be described.

  (Part 1) The gender of the poster is expressed by the color of the character, the age of the poster is expressed by a font, and the positional relationship with the poster is expressed by the thickness and direction of the arrow.

  (Part 2) The gender and age of the poster is expressed by the background color, and the positional relationship with the poster is expressed by the blurring range and direction of the background color.

  (No. 3) If there is something that cannot be acquired among the gender, age, and position of the poster, the display of information that cannot be acquired is omitted.

<Operation of Post Information Display Control Device (Part 1)>
A case will be described in which the gender of the poster is expressed by the color of the character, the age of the poster is expressed by the font, and the positional relationship with the poster is expressed by the thickness and direction of the arrow.

  FIG. 4 shows an example (part 1) of posted information displayed according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 shows a display when a reader in Tokyo is browsing the poster's text. Posts by women are displayed in red letters, and posts by men are displayed in blue letters. In addition, the font is changed according to the age in order to be reminiscent of the age. Furthermore, the positional relationship between the poster's position and the viewer's position is expressed by an image and its shape that can show a direction as shown by an arrow. Here, the positional relationship is expressed by the direction and thickness of the arrow.

  FIG. 5 shows a flowchart (part 1) of the posted information display control method according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  In step S <b> 101, the color determination unit 101 refers to the user attribute database 203 and acquires the sex of the poster who posted the posted information. Next, in step S103, the color determination unit 101 determines a color based on gender. For example, when the gender is “male”, it is determined as blue, and when the gender is “female”, it is determined as red.

  In step S <b> 105, the font determination unit 103 refers to the user attribute database 203 and acquires the age of the poster of the posting information. Next, in step S107, the font determination unit 103 determines a font based on the age. For example, if the age is in the 20s, it is a pop font, if it is the 50s, it is a text font, and if it is the 60s, it is a font.

  In step S <b> 109, the angle determination unit 105 and the distance determination unit 107 refer to the user attribute database 203 and acquire the prefecture of the poster who posted the posted information. In addition, when the posting position is included in the posting information database 201, the prefecture of the posting person of the posting information refers to the position information database 205, so that the city having the latitude / longitude closest to the posting position given to the posting information is displayed. The prefecture may be determined as the prefecture of the poster. Next, in step S111, the angle determination unit 105 and the distance determination unit 107 acquire the position (latitude / longitude) of the viewing terminal, refer to the position information database 205, and have the latitude / longitude closest to the latitude / longitude of the viewing terminal. The prefecture is determined as the reader's prefecture.

  By storing more detailed prefecture location information in the location information database 205, the angle determination unit 105 and the distance determination unit 107 have the latitude and longitude of the prefecture or posting position where the latitude and longitude of the viewing terminal exist. You can decide which prefecture to do.

  In step S113, the angle determination unit 105 refers to the position information database 205, obtains an angle corresponding to the prefecture of the posting information poster and the prefecture of the viewing terminal, and determines the angle. This angle indicates the direction from the prefecture of the viewing terminal to the prefecture of the poster. The angle determination unit 105 determines the direction of an image (for example, an arrow) that can indicate the direction according to the angle. Note that the angle determination unit 105 can determine the angle in the same manner even when a municipality or an arbitrarily determined area is used instead of the prefecture. Further, when the latitude / longitude itself is used instead of the prefecture, the angle determination unit 105 can determine the direction from the latitude / longitude of the viewing terminal to the latitude / longitude of the poster.

  In addition, the distance determination unit 107 refers to the position information database 205 and acquires the distance between the prefecture of the posting person of the posting information and the prefecture of the viewing terminal. The distance determination unit 107 may acquire the distance between the posting position (the latitude / longitude of the poster or the latitude / longitude given to the posting information) and the position of the viewing terminal. The distance determination unit 107 determines the thickness of an image (for example, an arrow) that can indicate the direction according to the distance. The thicker the arrow, the thicker the arrow. Or the distance determination part 107 determines the length of the image (for example, arrow) which can point a direction according to this distance. The longer the distance, the longer the length of the arrow. Even when a municipality or an arbitrarily determined area is used in place of the prefecture, the distance determination unit 107 can determine the distance in the same manner. Furthermore, when the latitude / longitude itself is used instead of the prefecture, the distance determination unit 107 can determine the distance between the poster's latitude / longitude and the viewing terminal.

  In step S115, the display control unit 109 causes the viewing terminal to display post information based on the determined color and font. For example, the display control unit 109 transmits information indicating the color and font of characters together with the text of the posted information to the viewing terminal.

  In step S117, the display control unit 109 causes the viewing terminal to display an image that can indicate the direction determined based on the determined angle and distance. For example, the display control unit 109 transmits an image that can point in a direction such as an arrow to the viewing terminal.

<Operation of Post Information Display Control Device (Part 2)>
A case will be described in which the gender and age of the poster is expressed by the background color, and the positional relationship with the poster is expressed by the background color blur range and direction.

  FIG. 6 shows an example (part 2) of posted information displayed according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6 shows a display when a viewer in Tokyo is browsing a poster's text. Posts by women are displayed with a red background, and posts by men are displayed with a blue background. In addition, the brightness of the background color is changed depending on the age in order to be reminiscent of the age. Further, the position of the contributor and the position of the viewer are expressed by the blurring range and direction of the background color.

  FIG. 7 shows a flowchart (part 2) of the posted information display control method according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  In step S <b> 201, the color determination unit 101 refers to the user attribute database 203 and acquires the sex of the poster who posted the posted information. Next, in step S <b> 203, the color determination unit 101 refers to the user attribute database 203 and obtains the age of the poster of the posting information. In step S205, the color determination unit 101 determines the background color shade (E) and vividness (S) based on the sex. For example, when the gender is “male”, the hue (E) is 145 and the vividness (S) is 255, and when the gender is “female”, the hue (E) is 225 and the vividness (S) is 230. . Further, the color determination unit 101 determines the brightness (L) of the background color based on the age. For example, when the age is in the 20s, the brightness (L) is determined as 225, and when the age is in the 60s, the brightness (L) is determined as 100. The brightness (L) is brighter as the value is larger, and darker as the value is smaller. As a result, as shown in FIG. 8, for example, a 20-year-old man is determined to be light blue, a 60-year-old man is dark blue, a 20-year-old woman is pink, and a 60-year-old woman is determined to be dark red Is done.

  In step S207, the angle determination unit 105 and the distance determination unit 107 refer to the user attribute database 203 and acquire the prefecture of the poster who posted the posted information. In addition, when the posting position is included in the posting information database 201, the prefecture of the posting person of the posting information refers to the position information database 205, so that the city having the latitude / longitude closest to the posting position given to the posting information is displayed. The prefecture may be determined as the prefecture of the poster. Next, in step S209, the angle determination unit 105 and the distance determination unit 107 acquire the position (latitude / longitude) of the viewing terminal, refer to the position information database 205, and have the latitude / longitude closest to the latitude / longitude of the viewing terminal. The prefecture is determined as the reader's prefecture.

  In step S <b> 211, the angle determination unit 105 refers to the position information database 205, acquires an angle corresponding to the prefecture of the posting information poster and the prefecture of the viewing terminal, and determines an angle to be blurred. This angle indicates the direction from the prefecture of the viewing terminal to the prefecture of the poster. Here, as shown in FIG. 9, the prefecture of the posting terminal is in the range of 0 to 90 ° (display range 1), or the range of 91 to 180 °, centering on the prefecture (Tokyo) of the viewing terminal. It is determined whether it exists in (display range 2), in the range of 181 to 270 ° (display range 3), or in the range of 271 to 359 ° (display range 4). For example, when the angle is 0 to 90 °, the lower left corner of the display screen is set as the starting point, the base is set to 0 °, and the background color is blurred in the angle direction. When the angle is 91 to 180 °, the lower right corner of the display screen is the starting point, the right side is 90 °, and the background color is blurred in the angle direction. When the angle is 181 to 270 °, the upper right edge of the display screen is the starting point, the upper side is 180 °, and the background color is blurred in the angle direction. When the angle is 271 to 359 °, the upper left corner of the display screen is the starting point, the left side is 270 °, and the background color is blurred in the angle direction. If the prefectures are the same, the angle is “None” and the background color is not blurred. In addition, when using a municipality or an arbitrarily determined area instead of a prefecture, the angle determination unit 105 can determine an angle in the same manner and determine an angle to be blurred. Further, when the latitude / longitude itself is used instead of the prefecture, the angle determination unit 105 can determine the angle from the latitude / longitude of the browsing terminal to the latitude / longitude of the poster and determine the angle to be blurred.

  In addition, the distance determination unit 107 refers to the position information database 205 and acquires the distance between the prefecture of the posting person of the posting information and the prefecture of the viewing terminal. The distance determination unit 107 determines a range to be blurred according to this distance. You may enlarge the range blurred, so that the numerical value of distance is large. A blur range corresponding to the distance is set according to the display screen size of the mobile phone terminal. If the prefectures are the same, the range to blur is 0 and the background color is not blurred. In the case where a municipality or an arbitrarily determined area is used instead of a prefecture, the distance determination unit 107 can determine the distance in the same manner and determine the range to be blurred. Further, when the latitude / longitude itself is used instead of the prefecture, the distance determination unit 107 can determine the distance between the poster's latitude / longitude and the viewing terminal, and can determine the range to be blurred.

  In step S213, the display control unit 109 causes the viewing terminal to display the background color in which the color is blurred in the angular direction within the blurring range corresponding to the distance. For example, the display control unit 109 transmits information for blurring the background color together with the posting information to the browsing terminal.

  In step S215, the display control unit 109 displays the posting information on the background color.

<Operation of Post Information Display Control Device (Part 3)>
A case will be described in which the display of information that cannot be acquired is omitted when there are items that cannot be acquired among the gender, age, and position of the poster.

  FIG. 10 shows an example (part 3) of posted information displayed according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 10 shows a display when a viewer in Tokyo is browsing a poster's text. For example, there is a possibility that some information cannot be acquired and there is an unknown one among the attributes and positions of the poster. In this case, unknown information is omitted and displayed.

  For example, when the gender and age of the poster “aaa” are unknown, the color determination unit 101 uses the default color (black), and the font determination unit 103 uses the default font (gothic). To do. The default color and font may be the color or font set in the viewing terminal system. The posting information of the poster “aaa” is displayed together with an image (for example, an arrow) that can indicate the direction of the poster.

  For example, when the age of the poster “bbb” is unknown, the font determination unit 103 uses a default font (Gothic font). The contribution information of the poster “bbb” is displayed in blue indicating “male” and an image (for example, an arrow) that can indicate the direction of the poster.

  For example, when the position of the poster “ccc” is unknown, the angle determination unit 105 and the distance determination unit 107 cannot determine the angle and the distance. For this reason, the image (for example, arrow) which can point the direction of a contributor is not displayed. The posting information of the poster “ccc” is displayed in red indicating “female” and in a pop body indicating the twenties.

  10 shows a case where some information is omitted in the display of FIG. 4, some information can be omitted in the same manner in the display of FIG. 6.

<Effect of the embodiment of the present invention>
According to the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to display the attribute of the poster and the positional relationship with the poster on the same screen together with the posted information by a display method that is easy for the viewer to understand. Specifically, by representing the attributes of the poster by color, font, etc., it is possible to display a plurality of attributes even in a limited display range. Furthermore, by expressing the information with shading and blurring, it is possible to prevent the number of appearing colors from increasing. In addition, since colors and fonts are used, it becomes possible to intuitively understand information. For example, blue is easy to imagine a man, red is easy to imagine a woman, and a brush-like font is easy to imagine an elderly person.

  For example, in the display example shown in FIG. 4, the viewer can intuitively know the positional relationship between the user and the poster by using an arrow. Furthermore, the viewer can easily imagine the person image of the poster from the font and character color.

  Further, for example, in the display example shown in FIG. 6, the viewer can intuitively understand the distance between the user and the poster by the degree of blurring of the background color. Furthermore, since information such as age and gender is all expressed in the background, the screen is not messy and easy to see.

  Furthermore, for example, in the display example shown in FIG. 10, if there is information that is not known, there is a flexibility to display only other information.

  For convenience of explanation, the posted information display control device according to the embodiment of the present invention is described using a functional block diagram.
