Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a local community media device using a video message, enabling safe and easy communication.SOLUTION: In a server device, a user authentication unit refers to authentication information sent from a use-side terminal and when authenticated to be one of users managed by the server device, a request reception and data acquisition unit receives a video message distribution request, to acquire a video message from a storage device. Then, a data transmission unit transfers video message data to the user-side terminal device. When a user selects that the received video message data is either an individual message or a message to be broadcast, and after sufficient buffering is performed, a video message data set acquisition unit acquires a non-reproduced video message, so that a video message reproduction unit continuously reproduces the video message on a display device.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

  The present invention automatically sets the broadcast distribution range of a video message based on the content of the video message and user profile information in order to construct a media for the local community, and to send and receive a short video message. It relates to a mechanism that provides one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many communication opportunities depending on the function to be determined.

  E-mail communication using general-purpose computers, tablet terminals, mobile phones and general household appliances (hereinafter referred to as electronic devices) is generally widespread. In recent years, high-function mobile phones called smartphones have become widespread, and a messenger system for casual communication using characters, such as Line (Non-Patent Document 1), can be used free of charge. Similarly, video call systems that enable video and audio communication, such as Skype (Non-patent Document 2) and FaceTime (Non-patent Document 3), can also be used free of charge with high-performance mobile phones. There are also meeting services such as Open Meeting (Non-patent Document 4) and BigBlueButton (Non-patent Document 5) as mechanisms for developing one-to-many and many-to-many communication. These systems enable one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many communication independent of location.

  However, the e-mail function and the messenger system function of mobile phones can realize asynchronous conversations that do not need to share time, but are mainly text information and the amount of information transmitted is limited.

  On the other hand, video call functions such as Skype for high-function mobile phones and meeting services are mechanisms that support synchronous conversations, so communication conversations with a large amount of information such as voice and video images can be realized. In addition, the caller and callee must share time.

  In any case of e-mail, messenger system, video call system, and meeting service, when communicating with many people, a sender must be set in advance, and communication for broadcasting purposes is impossible.

  There is a video sharing service such as Ustream (Non-patent Document 6) as a mechanism for realizing an asynchronous conversation as a communication conversation with a large amount of information such as voice and video and without specifying a sender in advance. Video distribution functions such as Ustream can realize video distribution for broadcasting purposes such as TV broadcasting at a low cost on an individual scale.

  However, in the case of a video sharing service, viewers must search for the desired video with their own hands.

  In either case, the terminal operation procedure is complicated, which is a big barrier for users who are unfamiliar with the terminal operation, especially the elderly (Non-patent Document 7).

  There is a message dial (Non-Patent Document 8) as a mechanism for performing asynchronous conversation with simple procedures.

  However, in the message dial, the information transmitted is limited to voice messages, and the sender must be specified in advance.

In order to support self-help, mutual assistance, public assistance in the region, such as support for participation of elderly people living alone in the local community and creation of nursing care for the elderly, all local members should be included. Therefore, there is a need for a safe, secure and easy-to-use communication system that can support the construction of relationships between strangers.

  In the case of one-to-many or many-to-many communication in any of the above-mentioned cases such as e-mail, message dial, messenger system, video call system, and meeting service, the transmission partner must be set in advance. It does not support communication as media for broadcasting purposes.

In the case of the video sharing service, it is not necessary to set the transmission partner in advance, so it can be used as a media for broadcasting purposes. However, the sender is restricted for a relatively long time for recording, and is ready for shooting in advance. Necessary, and viewers have to search for the video they want with their own hands, so they cannot communicate easily.

In the case of a communication system based on character information in conventional communication, character input operations and operations on electronic device screens for viewing characters are required, so children, elderly people, people with disabilities, etc. It is not easy for those who are unfamiliar with the operation of electronic equipment. Similarly, even a communication system using audio and video requires operation of electronic equipment and setting of communication connection, so it is not easy for those who are unfamiliar with the operation of electronic equipment. In order to compose a communication media that includes all members in the region, even those who are unfamiliar with the operation of electronic devices must be able to use the system without problems.

In order to encourage participation in the local community and increase communication opportunities, it is possible to exchange simple and short messages in the asynchronous communication dialogue, and to confirm the face and information of the conversation partner. It must be possible to reduce the resistance.

  The present invention provides a terminal device on the user side by using a video shooting / recording device, a display device, a communication function, and a costume for a high-function mobile phone, and a server device composed of a general-purpose operating system and electronic equipment. , The user side terminal device, server device, and Internet communication network enable asynchronous communication conversation with a large amount of information using short video messages.

  The present invention covers the portion other than the display device and video shooting device of the elderly terminal device with a costume so that the elderly terminal device functions as an anthropomorphic medium (see the effect of the invention).

  The present invention enables reception of a video message, transmission of a video message, and reply to a video message by voice guidance and a simple touch operation at any part of the screen.

  The present invention enables communication for which a sender is set in advance and communication for broadcasting purposes in which a sender is not set in advance.

  According to the present invention, when a broadcast-purpose video message is broadcast, the broadcast destination of the video message can be automatically determined based on the content of the video message and the user's profile by machine learning processing. Does not specify a destination, and the recipient can automatically receive third-party video messages.

  The present invention makes it possible to display detailed information of a video message sender before or during playback of a video message transmitted for broadcasting purposes.

  In the present invention, after a video message transmitted for broadcasting purposes is reproduced, feedback on whether the video message is necessary information or not can be transmitted.

  The present invention makes it possible to use feedback obtained from a user for machine learning processing when automatically determining the transmission range of a video message for broadcasting purposes.

  The present invention is capable of recording and managing all operation histories of all users, video message transmission / reception histories, video message data, and feedback results for video messages (hereinafter collectively referred to as log data) by the server device. It is what you did.

  In the present invention, video message senders sent for broadcasting purposes and users such as ordinary communication friends can be registered in the address book, and the address book can be used when sending video messages.

  The present invention is designed to automatically detect video messages with inappropriate contents and block transmission and reception by filtering processing in the server device.

  In order to exchange short-time video messages in asynchronous communication conversations, it is possible to perform simple communication similar to e-mail, message dialing, and messenger systems in communication conversations with a large amount of information such as voice and video images. There are advantages.

  Since it is based on asynchronous communication conversation with a large amount of information, it can reduce the resistance to information transmission, which leads to an increase in communication opportunities.

  Because it is based on asynchronous communication conversations with a large amount of information, it can reduce the resistance to communication even when broadcasting for broadcasting purposes. The advantage is that even strangers can communicate with each other with peace of mind.

  Since video messages can be sent and received by voice guidance and simple touch operation, there is an advantage that users who are not familiar with electronic devices such as children, the elderly, and people with disabilities can operate.

  An existence like a stuffed toy or a humanoid robot that does not have a true heart but has a heart is called an anthropomorphic medium. According to (Non-Patent Document 9), such anthropomorphic media activates the right brain, which senses non-verbal communication, and as a result, activates the left brain with a language field, thereby encouraging the elderly to interact. I know I can. Since the present invention uses an anthropomorphic medium, there is an advantage that it is possible to facilitate the dialogue of elderly people whose motivation for dialogue has declined due to dementia or the like.

  When broadcasting video messages as media for broadcasting purposes, the sender does not need to specify the destination in advance because the destination is automatically determined from the user profile and the content of the video message. There is an advantage that video messages can be delivered only to users who are likely to be interested in.

  When receiving a broadcast video message for broadcast purposes, you can automatically receive a third-party video message that you are likely to need, and reply to the received video message if necessary. There is an advantage of being able to.

  Feedback can be provided for video messages broadcast for broadcasting purposes, and feedback results are used in the machine learning process when determining the broadcast distribution target. The advantage is that only necessary video messages can be received.

  It is possible to broadcast video messages for broadcasting purposes, and it is possible to communicate with each other using this as an opportunity, so it is possible to support the construction of relationships between strangers.

  Since the user's log data can be stored in the server device, it has the advantage that it can also be used as a monitoring device for the elderly living alone.

  Like a message dial, it has the advantage that it can be used for purposes such as safety confirmation and gathering opinions in the event of a disaster.

  Since only video messages that are highly likely to be needed can be received, there is an advantage that it can be used as a low-cost commercial medium.

  When sending and receiving video messages within the region, it is assumed that event information in the region, requests for daily life, recruitment of friends, etc. will be sent in video messages, so self-help within the local community, There is an advantage that it is possible to provide opportunities to participate in community activities for elderly people who are living alone, isolated from the community, and public assistance.
