The genre column stores the genre name that classifies each object, specifically, the information of the place where each object is installed. The display mode column stores information regarding the display mode when displaying each icon, and the display condition column stores the conditions for displaying the icon in each display mode. Information on the display mode includes, for example, display density (dark or light, etc.), display size (large or small, etc.), display color (conspicuous color or inconspicuous color, etc.), icon shape, presence / absence of display (display or non-display). Etc. are included. The information regarding the display mode may be identification information for identifying a display pattern (display mode) in which each of the display density, the display size, the display color, the shape of the icon, and the presence / absence of display is preset. Display conditions include, for example, the age (age group) of the user (customer), gender, family composition (single, couple only, family of 3 or more, etc.), budget for purchasing real estate properties, and important rooms or facilities. It is shown by user classification that classifies each user according to the user's attributes such as information and the desired content (desired condition) for the real estate property. In the example shown in FIG. 4A, for example, the icon with the icon ID I001 is displayed in mode 1 for users in the user classification having a budget of 80 million yen or more, and for users in the user classification having a single family structure. Is displayed in aspect 2. The number of display modes that can be displayed for each icon may be any number, and the display conditions corresponding to each display mode include at least information on the user's age, gender, family structure, budget, important room or equipment, and the like. User classification can be used to classify each user by one. It should be noted that, as for the display mode of each icon, the priority of the mode 1 is the highest, and the priority of the modes 2, 3 and 4 is low. Therefore, each icon is added to the object in the CG image in the display mode having the highest priority among the display modes in which the attributes and desired contents of each user match the display conditions.

The icon ID stored in the icon DB 12b is issued and stored by the control unit 11 when the information of the icon to be added to the object in the CG image is newly registered. The object ID, equipment name, and genre information stored in the icon DB 12b are obtained by the control unit 11, for example, when the control unit 11 acquires each information of the object to which a new icon is added via the input unit 14. It will be remembered. Each information of the display mode and the display condition stored in the icon DB 12b is stored by the control unit 11 when, for example, the control unit 11 acquires a new display mode and the display condition for each icon via the input unit 14. For example, when the control unit 11 acquires a change in the display mode and the display condition for each icon via the input unit 14, the control unit 11 changes the display mode and the display condition. The storage content of the icon DB 12b is not limited to the example shown in FIG. 4A, and information on each icon, information on an object to which each icon is added, and the like may be stored.

The content DB 12c shown in FIG. 4B includes an icon ID string, a content ID column, a content column, a display condition column, and the like, and is associated with the icon ID for each icon (specifically, for each object to which the icon is added). Memorize information about the prepared content. The icon ID string stores the identification information of each icon, and the identification information (icon ID) uses the icon ID stored in the icon DB 12b. The content ID column stores identification information for identifying the content displayed (output) when each icon is selected, and the content column stores the content. The content is to explain the price and function of the object to which each icon is added, to present the model according to the color variation and product grade of the object, and to present the information on the substitute of the object. Including the contents of. Further, the content may be image data (still image data and moving image data) or text data. The display condition column stores the conditions for displaying each content associated with the icon. Here, too, the display conditions are indicated by user classification in which each user is classified according to the user's attributes including the user's age, gender, family structure, budget, important room or equipment information, and desired contents. In the example shown in FIG. 4B, for example, as for the content corresponding to the icon whose icon ID is I001, the content of the content 1 is provided to the user of the user classification whose budget is 80 million yen or more, and the budget is less than 80 million yen. The content of the content 2 is provided to the user of the user classification.

As for the icon ID stored in the content DB 12c, the icon ID of this icon is stored by the control unit 11 when new content is registered in any of the icons. The content ID stored in the content DB 12c is issued and stored by the control unit 11, for example, when the control unit 11 acquires the content to be registered in association with each icon via the input unit 14. The other information stored in the content DB 12c is stored by the control unit 11, for example, when the control unit 11 acquires the content and display conditions to be registered in association with each icon via the input unit 14, for example, control. When the unit 11 acquires the change of the content and the display condition via the input unit 14, the change is made by the control unit 11.

In this case, the content string stores information for reading the content (for example, a storage location of data). Memorize the indicated file name). The stored content of the content DB 12c is not limited to the example shown in FIG. 4B, and information on the content, information on the object to which the icon is added, and the like may be stored.

Hereinafter, in the information processing system 100 of the present embodiment, a process of displaying the CG image of the model room stored in the server 10 on the user terminal 20 will be described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of a CG image providing processing procedure, and FIGS. 6 to 8 are schematic views showing a screen example of the user terminal 20. In FIG. 5, the processing performed by the user terminal 20 is shown on the left side, and the processing performed by the server 10 is shown on the right side. The following processing is executed by the control unit 21 according to the control program 22P stored in the storage unit 22 of the user terminal 20, and is executed by the control unit 11 according to the control program 12P stored in the storage unit 12 of the server 10. .. A part of the following processing may be realized by a dedicated hardware circuit.

In the information processing system 100 of the present embodiment, when the user wants to view the CG image of the model room stored in the server 10, for example, the user terminal 20 activates the CG reproduction AP22AP. When the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 activates the CG reproduction AP22AP stored in the storage unit 22, for example, the questionnaire screen as shown in FIG. 6 is displayed on the display unit 25 (S11). The questionnaire screen is a screen for accepting input of user attributes and desired contents (desired conditions) for real estate properties. On the questionnaire screen shown in FIG. 6, a radio button for selecting (inputting) one of the age groups such as 20's, 30's, 40's, etc. as the age of the user (questionnaire respondent), and the gender of the user are input. It has a radio button for selecting one of the user's family structure, such as single person, couple only, and so on. In addition, on the questionnaire screen, a radio button for selecting one of multiple budget ranges as the user's budget when purchasing a real estate property, or one of the rooms provided in the real estate property as equipment that the user cares about is selected. Has a radio button to do. Further, the questionnaire screen has an OK button for instructing the completion of input. The user inputs the answer (questionnaire answer) of each item by operating each radio button for each item of the questionnaire. In addition, the user instructs the completion of answering the questionnaire via the questionnaire screen by operating the OK button. The questionnaire screen is not limited to the example shown in FIG. 6, and may be configured so that various conditions to be considered when purchasing a real estate property can be input. For example, it may be configured so that the desired number of floors in an apartment or apartment, the direction of the veranda, etc. can be input.

The control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 receives a questionnaire response to each item in the questionnaire screen via the input unit 24 (S12). When the control unit 21 receives the questionnaire response for each item, the control unit 21 displays the radio button of each item so that the received questionnaire response is in the selected state. When the user terminal 20 has a camera and has a configuration for estimating the age and gender of the user from the face image of the user taken by the camera, the control unit 21 controls the age and gender of the user estimated from the face image of the user. May be acquired as a user attribute. The control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 determines whether or not the completion of answering the questionnaire has been accepted via the input unit 24 (S13), and if it determines that the completion of answering has not been accepted (S13: NO), the step. The process of S12 is repeated, and the questionnaire response to each item on the questionnaire screen is accepted. When it is determined that the response completion is accepted (S13: YES), the control unit 21 transmits the questionnaire response of each accepted item to the server 10 (S14). The control unit 11 (questionnaire acquisition unit) of the server 10 acquires the questionnaire response (questionnaire result) transmitted by the user terminal 20.

The control unit 11 of the server 10 provides the user terminal 20 with a CG image of the model room based on the questionnaire response acquired from the user terminal 20. Specifically, the control unit 11 reads out the CG image of any of the model rooms from the CG image 12a (S15). For example, when the questionnaire response received from the user terminal 20 includes the response information of the equipment of concern, the control unit 11 identifies and identifies the room of interest to the user based on the response information of the equipment of concern. Read out the CG image of the room. If there is no room that the user is interested in, the control unit 11 reads, for example, a CG image of the room (for example, the kitchen) set by default. The control unit 11 identifies an object arranged in this room based on the CG image of the read room (S16). In the CG image, each position in the virtual space is associated with an object arranged at each position, and the control unit 11 specifies an object included in the CG image of the room.

Next, the control unit 11 specifies the display mode of the icon added to the object in the CG image for each of the specified objects based on the questionnaire response received from the user terminal 20 (S17). Specifically, the control unit 11 has a display condition that matches the user's attribute and desired content included in the questionnaire response among the display conditions stored in the icon DB 12b in association with the object ID of each specified object. Is specified, and the display mode corresponding to the specified display condition is specified. The control unit 11 determines whether or not the user's attributes and desired contents are matched in order from the display conditions corresponding to the mode 1, and specifies the display mode corresponding to the matched display conditions. Therefore, when the user's attributes and desired contents match a plurality of display conditions, the display mode close to the mode 1 is preferentially specified. If there is no display condition that matches the user's attributes and desired contents included in the questionnaire response, a display condition that is closer to the user's attributes and desired contents may be specified.

The control unit 11 specifies the display mode of the icon for all the objects specified in step S16. Then, the control unit 11 (icon addition unit) adds an icon of the specified display mode to each object in the CG image read out in step S15 (S18). As a result, as shown in FIG. 7A, a CG image in which an info mark icon (info icon) is added to each object in the CG image in a display mode corresponding to each object is generated. Each icon is displayed in a state in which the display density, the display size, the display color, the shape, and the like are different according to the display mode.

For example, in the example shown in FIG. 7A, a jagged info icon is added to the kitchen range hood (ventilation fan), and a prominent color info icon is added to the kitchen sink. In addition, a small info icon is added to the lighting fixtures in the dining room and the sofa in the living room. In this way, an info icon in a prominent manner is added to objects that are likely to be of interest to the user according to the user's attributes and desired content (user classification that classifies each user based on the questionnaire response). However, objects that are unlikely to be of interest to the user are given an inconspicuous info icon. When changing the display density of the info icon to make the display mode different, for example, the transparency of the info icon superimposed on the CG image may be increased or decreased. In this case, by lowering the transparency of the info icon, the info icon can be emphasized and displayed, and by increasing the transparency of the info icon, look at the info icon so that the CG image behind the info icon is easier to see. It can be displayed without standing. Also, the info icon may not be added to objects that the user is unlikely to be interested in. In this case, the object to which the info icon is added can be different depending on the user's attributes and desired contents. In addition, the maximum number of info icons that can be added to the CG image is set, and if the number of icons that should be added to the CG image exceeds the maximum number of displays, the priority set for each info icon is high. The info icon of the maximum number of displays may be added in order. In this case, the number of info icons added to the CG image can be limited, and the low-priority info icons are not displayed, so that the visibility of the displayed info icons can be improved. The priority set for each info icon may be set differently for each user attribute.

The control unit 11 (image output unit) transmits the CG image with the icon added to the user terminal 20 (S19), and the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 adds the CG image received from the server 10 to the CG image. It is displayed on the display unit 25 together with the icon (S20). As a result, the CG image as shown in FIG. 7A is displayed on the display unit 25. The CG image shown in FIG. 7A has an ON button and an OFF button for switching whether or not to display the info icon, and FIG. 7A shows a CG image in a state where the ON button is selected. ing. When the OFF button of the info icon is selected in the CG image shown in FIG. 7A, the control unit 21 displays only the CG image without displaying the icon, thereby displaying the CG image as shown in FIG. It can be displayed on the unit 25. The control unit 11 of the server 10 temporarily transmits the CG image of the room read in step S15 to the user terminal 20 instead of transmitting the CG image to which the icon is added to the user terminal 20, and then specifies in step S17. Each icon of the displayed display mode may be transmitted to the user terminal 20. In this case, the user terminal 20 may display the CG image of the room received from the server 10, and after receiving each icon from the server 10, add the icon to the displayed CG image and display it.

The info icon added to the CG image is an icon for instructing the display of the content related to the object to which the icon is added. When any of the info icons is selected and operated on the user terminal 20, the content corresponding to the selected info icon is acquired from the server 10 and displayed on the display unit 25. Therefore, the control unit 21 determines whether or not any of the info icons in the displayed CG image has been selected (S21), and if it determines that it has not been selected (S21: NO), it is selected. Wait while displaying the CG image until. When the control unit 21 receives a move instruction to another room of the model room via the input unit 24, the control unit 21 requests the server 10 for a CG image of the received other room. In this case, the control unit 11 of the server 10 performs the processes of steps S15 to S19 for the requested room, and each object in the CG image of the requested room has the user's attributes and desired contents (user classification). A CG image to which an icon is added is transmitted to the user terminal 20 in a display mode according to the above. Then, the user terminal 20 displays the CG image received from the server 10 on the display unit 25. As a result, the user terminal 20 can display a CG image of another room instructed to move, and adds an info icon in a mode corresponding to the user classification of each user to each object in the CG image. be able to.

When it is determined that any of the info icons has been selected (S21: YES), the control unit 21 transmits icon information indicating the selected info icon to the server 10 (S22). When the control unit 11 of the server 10 receives the icon information from the user terminal 20, the control unit 11 reads the content corresponding to the info icon indicated by the received icon information from the content DB 12c (S23). For example, the control unit 11 is a user included in the questionnaire response received from the user terminal 20 among a plurality of contents stored in the content DB 12c in association with the icon ID of the info icon indicated by the received icon information. Identify content that corresponds to display conditions that match the attributes or desired content. Here, too, the control unit 11 determines, for example, whether or not the user's attributes and desired contents are matched in order from the display conditions corresponding to the contents 1, and specifies the contents corresponding to the matched display conditions. Therefore, the content according to the user's attribute and the desired content can be specified, and when the user's attribute and the desired content match the plurality of display conditions, the content close to the content 1 can be preferentially specified. If there is no display condition that matches the user's attribute or desired content, the control unit 11 may specify content that corresponds to the display condition that is closer to the user's attribute or desired content. Then, the control unit 11 (content output unit) reads the specified content from the content DB 12c and transmits it to the user terminal 20 (S24).

When the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 receives the content from the server 10, the control unit 21 displays the received content on the display unit 25 in association with the selected info icon (S25). As shown in FIG. 7B, for example, the control unit 21 provides a balloon from the selected info icon and displays the content in the balloon. In this case, the balloon displaying the content is superimposed on the CG image and displayed. As shown in FIG. 8, the control unit 21 may display the balloon on which the content is displayed without superimposing it on the CG image. In this case, the display size of the CG image in the room is small, but the objects in the CG image can be easily compared with the options presented in the content. By displaying the content in association with objects such as furniture and equipment in this way, the user can easily imagine a state in which objects having different color variations or product grades presented in the content are installed. Therefore, when creating a CG image in which objects of a plurality of models having different color variations or product grades are installed, the cost increases, but objects of different models are installed without such an increase in cost. It is possible to provide an image that makes it easy to imagine the state of the object.

By the above-described processing, in the present embodiment, when there is an object for which the user wants to know more detailed information in the CG image of the model room, this object is selected and operated by selecting and operating the icon attached to the object. The content corresponding to can be displayed. Therefore, the image and atmosphere of the floor plan and equipment can be grasped from the CG image of the model room, and the information such as options or alternatives prepared for each object can be acquired by displaying the contents of each object. be able to. As a result, it is possible to provide information on the equipment of the model that was not exhibited in the model room in response to the request from the user. In the above-described processing, the display mode of the icon added to the CG image and the content of the content are changed according to the questionnaire response input by the user via the user terminal 20. In addition to this, for example, the display mode of each icon and the content of each content are changed according to the answer to the questionnaire downloaded from the server 10 or another server to the user terminal 20, and the answer entered by the user on the questionnaire form in the model room. You may. In addition, users may be classified from the answers to the questionnaire, and the display mode of each icon and the content of each content may be changed according to the specified user classification. Further, all the icons added to the CG image may be added in the same display mode, and only the content corresponding to the icon may be different depending on the questionnaire response or the like.

As shown in the examples shown in FIGS. 7B and 8, the content of each object displays an option selection button for selecting either a plurality of types of devices having different color variations or product grades, and the selected option. The image of the device corresponding to the selection button and the explanatory document are displayed. In the examples shown in FIGS. 7B and 8, option A is selected, and the contents in FIGS. 7B and 8 display images and explanatory documents of the device corresponding to option A. Therefore, when any of the option selection buttons in the content is selected, the user terminal 20 requests the server 10 for the information of the device corresponding to the selected option selection button, and the information of the device acquired from the server 10 is used. Switch the content. As a result, information on a plurality of types of devices having different color variations or product grades can be appropriately switched and displayed, and the user can browse information on various devices.

In the information processing system 100 of the present embodiment, the contents of the options that can be selected for each object can be confirmed by selecting the info icon displayed in the CG image. The info icon displayed in the CG image is displayed in a different manner according to the user's attribute and desired content (user classification). Therefore, the icon of the object that the user is likely to want to know the detailed information can be displayed prominently, and the icon of the object that the user is unlikely to want to know the detailed information can be displayed inconspicuously. As a result, the user can be guided to operate the icon in order to display the detailed information (content) of the device of interest. In addition, the content of the content displayed corresponding to each object can be changed according to the user's attributes and desired content (user classification). Therefore, for example, it is possible to provide content related to high-grade product-grade options to users with a high budget. As a result, it is possible to efficiently provide information on options that are likely to be selected (purchased) by the user.

In the present embodiment, the CG image of the model room stored in the server 10 is transmitted to the user terminal 20 and provided to the user via the user terminal 20. In addition, the user terminal 20 may be configured to execute each process performed by the server 10. Specifically, the storage unit 22 of the user terminal 20 may store the CG image 12a, the icon DB 12b, and the content DB 12c, and the control unit 21 may read the CG image from the storage unit 22 and display it on the display unit 25. .. In this case, the control unit 21 specifies a display mode of the icon to be added to the CG image of the model room according to the user's attribute and desired content input via the input unit 24, and each icon is displayed in the specified display mode. Is added to the CG image and displayed. Even in such a configuration, the same actions and effects as those in the first embodiment described above can be obtained.

In the present embodiment, one pattern of CG images of each room of the model room is prepared, and the display mode of the info icon added to the one pattern of CG images is changed to a different mode according to the user's attributes and desired contents. Was. In addition to this, for example, a plurality of patterns of CG images may be prepared according to the user's attributes and desired contents. In this case, since the content of each object can be browsed while browsing the CG image suitable for the user's attributes and desired contents, it becomes easier to imagine the installation state of the model room and the device that more suits the user's preference.

The configuration of this embodiment includes not only an information processing system that provides a model room of a real estate property with a CG image, but also a system that provides an automobile exterior and interior with a CG image, furniture exterior and exterior, and parts such as handle metal fittings. It can be applied to a system or the like provided by a CG image. Further, it can be applied not only to these systems but also to a system that provides a product having a place, a device, a part, or the like in which options can be selected according to a color variation or a product grade as a CG image.

(Embodiment 2)
Describes an information processing system that updates the display mode of each icon according to the user's attributes and desired contents (user classification) based on the operation history of a plurality of users for the icons attached to the objects in the CG image of the model room. To do. Since the information processing system 100 of the present embodiment can be realized by the same device as the information processing system 100 of the first embodiment, the description of the configuration will be omitted. The storage unit 12 of the server 10 of the present embodiment stores the icon operation history DB in addition to the information shown in FIG.

FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram showing a configuration example of the icon operation history DB. The icon operation history DB stores the attributes and desired contents (user classification) of the user who performed the selection operation for each icon added to the CG image of the model room as the operation history (selection history) for each icon. The icon operation history DB shown in FIG. 9 includes an icon ID string, an object ID column, an operation history information column, and the like, and is associated with the corresponding icon ID and object ID, and the user who selects and operates the icon, that is, the content of the object. Memorize the information of the user who browsed. The icon ID column stores the identification information of the icon, and the object ID column stores the identification information of the object to which the icon is added. The operation history information column stores information (questionnaire response) such as attributes and desired contents of the user who has performed a selection operation on the icon in the CG image displayed on the user terminal 20. As for the icon ID and object ID stored in the icon operation history DB, for example, when new icon information is stored in the icon DB 12b, the icon ID and object ID stored in the icon DB 12b are stored by the control unit 11. .. The operation history information stored in the icon operation history DB is the operation history information of the user transmitted to the server 10 by the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 together with the icon information when the icon in the CG image displayed on the user terminal 20 is selected and operated. Each time the control unit 11 receives information (attributes and desired contents), the control unit 11 stores the information (attributes and desired contents). The storage content of the icon operation history DB is not limited to the example shown in FIG. 9, and for example, the date and time or time zone in which the icon is selected may be stored.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of a CG image providing processing procedure according to the second embodiment. The process shown in FIG. 10 is a process in which step S31 is added before step S23 in the process shown in FIG. The same steps as in FIG. 5 will be omitted. In the information processing system 100 of the present embodiment, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 and the control unit 11 of the server 10 perform the same processing as in steps S11 to S22 in FIG. As a result, the user's attributes and desired contents (questionnaire response) for the real estate property are input via the user terminal 20, the CG image of the model room stored in the server 10, and the user's attributes and desired contents (by questionnaire response). The info icon displayed in the display mode according to the user classification (user classification in which each user is classified) is transmitted to the user terminal 20. Then, the user terminal 20 displays the CG image to which the info icon is added on the display unit 25, and when the info icon in the CG image is selected and operated, the icon information indicating the selected info icon is transmitted to the server 10. Will be done. In the present embodiment, when the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 transmits the icon information to the server 10, the icon information and the attributes and desired contents (questionnaire response) of the user who selected and operated the info icon are obtained. It is associated and transmitted to the server 10.

Therefore, when the control unit 11 of the server 10 receives the icon information, the user's attribute, and the desired content from the user terminal 20, the control unit 11 associates the received icon information with the icon ID of the info icon indicated by the received icon information, and the received user's attribute. And the desired content (questionnaire response or user classification) is stored in the icon operation history DB as operation history information (S31). Then, the control unit 11 reads the content corresponding to the info icon indicated by the received icon information from the content DB 12c (S23), and performs the processing after step S24.

By the above-described processing, in the present embodiment, when any icon in the CG image displayed on the user terminal 20 is selected and operated, the content corresponding to the selected icon is provided from the server 10 to the user terminal 20. The information (attributes and desired contents) of the user who has selected and operated the icon is managed by the server 10 as the operation history information of the icon. Therefore, for each object in the CG image of the model room, it is possible to collect the information of the user who has viewed the detailed explanation (content).

In the information processing system 100 of the present embodiment, the display conditions for adding icons to the CG image in each display mode are changed based on the operation history for each icon collected by the above-described processing. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure for changing the icon display condition, and FIG. 12 is a schematic view showing a configuration example of the updated icon DB 12b. The following processing is executed by the control unit 11 according to the control program 12P stored in the storage unit 12 of the server 10. A part of the following processing may be realized by a dedicated hardware circuit.

In the information processing system 100 of the present embodiment, the control unit 11 of the server 10 performs the following processing periodically or after a certain amount of operation history information is accumulated in the icon operation history DB. The control unit 11 reads the operation history information stored in the icon operation history DB for one icon (S41), and based on the read operation history information, the attributes and desired contents (user) of the user who selected and operated this icon. The tendency of (classification) is extracted (S42). For example, the control unit 11 classifies each user (customer) included in the operation history based on age group, gender, family structure, budget, important room or equipment information, and the like, and classifies each user (user classification). The ratio of the above is calculated, and the user classification of the predetermined ratio or more is set as the tendency of the user who selected and operated this icon. For example, if the ratio of users classified into the user classification in their thirties among the users included in the operation history is a predetermined ratio or more, the user classification in their thirties is determined to be the tendency of the user who selected and operated this icon. .. In addition, if the percentage of users included in the operation history that are classified into the user classification of only couples in the family structure is equal to or more than a predetermined ratio, the user classification of only couples in the family structure is selected and operated by selecting this icon. Judge as a user's tendency. In addition, if the ratio of the users included in the operation history to the users in their thirties who are classified into the user classification of only a couple in their family composition is equal to or more than a predetermined ratio, the control unit 11 has only a couple in their thirties. The user classification of is determined to be the tendency of the user who selected and operated this icon. In addition, among the users included in the operation history, each icon is selected based on the number of users classified into each user classification, that is, the number of users who browsed the content, instead of the ratio of users classified into each user classification. The tendency of the operating user may be specified.

Then, the control unit 11 specifies the display mode of this icon and the display condition to be displayed in this display mode from the extracted tendency of the user (S43). For example, the control unit 11 identifies a user classification in which the icon is frequently operated based on the tendency of the user extracted in step S42, and the identified user classification corresponds to the mode 1 (most conspicuous display mode) of the icon. Specify the display conditions to be used. For example, if a user who frequently operates this icon is in his thirties and tends to have only a married couple, the display condition corresponding to mode 1 (the most conspicuous display mode) of this icon is that the family is in his thirties. Determines user classification for couples only.

The control unit 11 updates the display mode and the display condition stored in the icon DB 12b according to whether or not the specified display mode and the display condition are different from the display mode and the display condition already stored in the icon DB 12b. It is determined whether or not it should be done (S44). If the display mode and display conditions are different from those already stored in the icon DB 12b, the control unit 11 determines that the display mode and display conditions stored in the icon DB 12b should be updated. When it is determined that the display mode and display condition stored in the icon DB 12b should be updated (S44: YES), the control unit 11 displays the display mode and display condition stored in the icon DB 12b in step S43. The display mode and display conditions specified are updated (S45). In the example shown in FIG. 12, the display condition of the icon mode 1 having the icon ID I001 is changed from "user classification with a budget of 80 million or more" in FIG. 4A to "a family structure of only a couple and a budget of 80 million or more. It has been changed to "a certain user classification". Such a change is made when the icon ID displayed in the first aspect is the icon of I001, and the operation frequency is high by the user of the user classification whose family structure is only a couple and the budget is 80 million or more. Thereby, the display mode and the display condition when displaying each icon can be changed based on the operation history of the user for each icon. Therefore, a user who matches the user classification with a high frequency of operation in the past is likely to operate this icon. Therefore, by displaying the icon with a high possibility of operation in a conspicuous manner, the operation of the icon is promoted. be able to. When it is determined that the display mode and display conditions stored in the icon DB 12b should not be updated (S44: NO), the control unit 11 skips the process of step S45.

When the control unit 11 determines whether or not there is an unprocessed icon for each icon stored in the icon operation history DB (S46), and determines that there is an unprocessed icon (S46: YES), Returning to step S41, the operation history information stored in the icon operation history DB is read (S41) for the unprocessed icon, and the processes of steps S42 to S45 are performed. When it is determined that there is no unprocessed icon (S46: NO), the control unit 11 ends the process.

By the above-described processing, in the CG image of the model room displayed on the user terminal 20, the display mode and display of each icon are based on the user's operation history for each icon selected and operated to display the content of each object. You can change the association of conditions. Therefore, in a situation where a large number of users browse the CG image of the model room using the user terminal 20, the icon is made conspicuous to the user who is likely to operate the icon based on the past tendency of the user who operates each icon. Can be provided to.

In this embodiment, the same effect as that of the first embodiment described above can be obtained. Further, in the present embodiment, the user operates the icon by displaying the icon added to the object in a conspicuous manner with respect to the object that the user is likely to want to see the content or the object that the user wants to show the content to. It can be expected that the frequency of operations for icons will be improved.

(Embodiment 3)
We accept evaluations of objects in the CG image of the model room or the contents displayed corresponding to the objects, and based on the received evaluations, the display mode of each icon according to the user's attributes and desired contents (user classification) and An information processing system that updates the contents of the contents will be described. Since the information processing system 100 of the present embodiment can be realized by the same device as the information processing system 100 of the first embodiment, the description of the configuration will be omitted. The storage unit 12 of the server 10 of the present embodiment stores the evaluation information DB in addition to the information shown in FIG.

FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram showing a configuration example of the evaluation information DB. The evaluation information DB stores information related to the evaluation performed by the user with respect to the object to which each icon is added in the CG image of the model room and the content displayed in association with each icon. The evaluation information DB shown in FIG. 13 includes an icon ID column, a content ID column, a user information column, an evaluation value column, a word-of-mouth information column, and the like, and is an object to which an icon is added in association with the corresponding icon ID and content ID. Alternatively, the information of the user who evaluated the content displayed in association with the object and the content of the evaluation performed by the user (evaluation information) are stored. The icon ID column stores the identification information of the icon, and the content ID column stores the identification information of the content associated with the icon. The user information stores information (questionnaire response or user classification) such as attributes and desired contents of the user who evaluated the object or content. The evaluation value string stores the evaluation value performed by the user on the object or the content, for example, on a 5-point scale (for example, 1 is the lowest evaluation and 5 is the highest evaluation). The word-of-mouth information column stores word-of-mouth information entered by the user for the object or content.

As for the icon ID and content ID stored in the evaluation information DB, for example, when new content information is stored in the content DB 12c, the icon ID and content ID stored in the content DB 12c are stored by the control unit 11. The other information stored in the evaluation information DB is the user information and the evaluation information transmitted to the server 10 by the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 when the user inputs the evaluation information for the content displayed on the user terminal 20. Is stored by the control unit 11 each time the control unit 11 receives the information. The stored content of the evaluation information DB is not limited to the example shown in FIG. 13, and for example, the date and time or time zone in which the content was evaluated (specifically, the evaluation information was input) may be stored.

FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing an example of a CG image providing processing procedure according to the third embodiment, and FIG. 15 is a schematic diagram showing a screen example of the user terminal 20. The process shown in FIG. 14 is a process in which steps S51 to S53 are added after step S25 in the process shown in FIG. The same steps as in FIG. 5 will be omitted. Note that in FIG. 14, the illustrations of steps S11 to S23 in FIG. 5 are omitted.

In the information processing system 100 of the present embodiment, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 and the control unit 11 of the server 10 perform the same processing as in steps S11 to S25 in FIG. As a result, the user's attributes and desired contents (questionnaire response) for the real estate property are input on the user terminal 20, and the CG image of the model room stored in the server 10 and the display mode according to the user's attributes and desired contents are displayed. The displayed info icon is transmitted to the user terminal 20 and displayed, and the content associated with the selected info icon is displayed on the user terminal 20 by selecting and operating any of the info icons on the user terminal 20. Will be done.

Also in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15, the control unit 21 displays the content in the balloon provided in association with the selected info icon. In this embodiment, the content displays information on objects of other models having different color variations or product grades, and further, an input field for evaluating the object or content on a five-point scale, and a comment. It has an input field and an OK button for instructing the completion of evaluation.

Therefore, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 determines whether or not the evaluation information including the evaluation value and / or the comment of the object or the content has been accepted for the content displayed on the display unit 25 (S51), and accepts the evaluation information. If it is determined that there is no such thing (S51: NO), the display of the CG image and the content shown in FIG. 15 is continued and waits. When the control unit 21 receives a selection operation for another info icon, the control unit 21 receives the content corresponding to the selected info icon from the server 10 and displays the received content in association with the info icon. At this time, the control unit 21 may end the display of the previously displayed content and display the newly received content, or the newly received content while continuing to display the previously displayed content. May be superimposed and displayed.

When it is determined that the evaluation information including the evaluation value and / or the comment for the object or the content has been received (S51: YES), the control unit 21 relates to the received evaluation information (specifically, the evaluation value and the comment) and this user. User information (for example, questionnaire response) is transmitted to the server 10 (S52). The control unit 11 (evaluation acquisition unit) of the server 10 receives (acquires) the evaluation information and the user information transmitted from the user terminal 20. Then, the control unit 11 stores the user information and the evaluation information (evaluation value and word-of-mouth information) received from the user terminal 20 in the evaluation information DB in association with the icon ID or the content ID corresponding to the content (S53). .. As a result, in the user terminal 20, the evaluation value and word-of-mouth information (evaluation information) input by the user for the object or content can be stored in the server 10. The control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 transmits the received evaluation information and the user information to the server 10 in association with each time the input of the evaluation value and the comment is received for the content received and displayed from the server 10. To do.

By the above-described processing, in the present embodiment, when evaluation information is input for the content corresponding to each object displayed on the user terminal 20, the input evaluation information is combined with the input user information on the server 10. It is managed by. Therefore, for each object in the CG image of the model room, it is possible to collect evaluation information for the object or the content by the user who browses the detailed explanation (content).

In the information processing system 100 of the present embodiment, the display conditions for displaying different contents in association with the objects in the CG image are set based on the user's evaluation information for the objects or contents collected by the above-mentioned processing. change. FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing an example of a procedure for changing display conditions of contents, and FIG. 17 is a schematic diagram showing a screen example of the user terminal 20. The following processing is executed by the control unit 11 according to the control program 12P stored in the storage unit 12 of the server 10. A part of the following processing may be realized by a dedicated hardware circuit.

In the information processing system 100 of the present embodiment, the control unit 11 of the server 10 performs the following processing periodically or after a certain amount of evaluation information is accumulated in the evaluation information DB. The control unit 11 reads out the user information, the evaluation value, and the word-of-mouth information (evaluation information) stored in the evaluation information DB (S61) for one icon, and what attributes and desired contents are based on the read evaluation information. The evaluation content indicating what kind of evaluation the user of (user classification) has performed is extracted (S62). For example, the control unit 11 is highly evaluated (for example, five-level evaluation) for each user classification classified according to each of the age group, family structure, budget, important room or equipment, or according to a combination of two or more. Calculate the ratio of 4 to 5), and specify the user classification that has been highly evaluated at a ratio of a predetermined value or higher. Then, the control unit 11 extracts the evaluation content that the user of the specified user classification has performed a high evaluation. For example, when a predetermined ratio or more of users in their thirties (user classification) give a high evaluation, the evaluation content that a high evaluation was obtained in the user classification in their thirties is extracted. In addition, when a user in his thirties who has a family composition of only a couple (user classification) is highly evaluated, a high evaluation is obtained in the user classification of a user who is in his thirties and has a family composition of only a couple. Extract the evaluation content that was done. The control unit 11 may calculate the ratio of low evaluations (for example, 1 to 2 of 5 grades) for each user classification, and specify the user classifications that have been evaluated low at a ratio of a predetermined value or higher. Further, the control unit 11 identifies the user classifications in which a predetermined number of users or more have performed high evaluations according to the number of users who have performed high evaluations or low evaluations (evaluation number) for each user classification. Evaluation contents indicating the evaluation performed by the user of the user classification may be extracted.

Then, the control unit 11 specifies the display mode of the icon corresponding to this content and the display condition to be displayed in this display mode from the extracted evaluation content (S63). For example, the control unit 11 identifies the user classification (user attribute and desired content) for which a high evaluation has been obtained based on the evaluation content extracted in step S62, and sets the specified user classification as the aspect 1 (most) of this icon. Determine the display conditions corresponding to the conspicuous display mode). Specifically, when the highly evaluated user classification is a user classification in which the family composition is only a couple in their thirties, the display condition corresponding to the mode 1 (most conspicuous display mode) of this icon is the age. Determines the user classification of only married couples in their 30s.

The control unit 11 updates the display mode and the display condition stored in the icon DB 12b according to whether or not the specified display mode and the display condition are different from the display mode and the display condition already stored in the icon DB 12b. It is determined whether or not it should be done (S64). When it is determined that the display mode and display condition stored in the icon DB 12b should be updated (S64: YES), the control unit 11 displays the display mode and display condition stored in the icon DB 12b in step S63. Update to the specified display mode and display conditions (S65). Specifically, the control unit 11 updates the display conditions stored in association with the specified display mode to the specified display conditions. As a result, it is possible to change the display mode and display conditions when displaying each icon based on the user's evaluation information for the object or content corresponding to each icon. Therefore, a user who matches the user attribute that has been highly evaluated in the past is likely to operate this icon. Therefore, the icon operation is performed by displaying the icon that is likely to be operated in a prominent manner. Can be prompted. When it is determined that the display mode and display conditions stored in the icon DB 12b should not be updated (S64: NO), the control unit 11 skips the process of step S65.

Next, the control unit 11 specifies the content of the content and the display condition for displaying the content from the evaluation content extracted in step S62 (S66). For example, the control unit 11 identifies the user classification that has been highly evaluated for the content 1 based on the evaluation content extracted in step S62, and determines the specified user classification as the display conditions corresponding to the content 1. Specifically, when the user classification that received high evaluation for the content 1 is the user classification in which the family composition is only a couple in their thirties, the display condition corresponding to the content 1 is that the age is in the thirties. The family structure determines the user classification of couples only. If the evaluation information read from the evaluation information DB at this time includes word-of-mouth information, the control unit 11 may add word-of-mouth information to the content here to generate new content. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 17, it is possible to provide the user with the content displaying the word-of-mouth information for the object or the content. In addition, a space for inserting word-of-mouth information is provided in the content, and when the evaluation information includes word-of-mouth information, the word-of-mouth information is inserted into the space in the content to generate the content including the word-of-mouth information. May be good.

Then, the control unit 11 determines whether the specified content and display condition are different from the content (content ID) and display condition already stored in the content DB 12c, and the content and display condition stored in the content DB 12c. Is determined whether or not should be updated (S67). When it is determined that the content and display conditions stored in the content DB 12c should be updated (S67: YES), the control unit 11 specifies the content and display conditions stored in the content DB 12c in step S66. Update to content and display conditions (S68). Specifically, the control unit 11 updates the display conditions stored in association with the specified contents to the specified display conditions. Thereby, the display condition of each content can be changed based on the user's evaluation information on the object or the content. Therefore, users who match the user attributes that have been highly evaluated in the past are likely to like this content, and by displaying the content that is likely to be liked, devices of multiple models with different color variations or product grades. Can be efficiently provided to the user. Further, for example, when word-of-mouth information is added to the content to generate new content, the control unit 11 may update the content stored in the content DB 12c to the generated content. When it is determined that the content and display conditions stored in the content DB 12c should not be updated (S67: NO), the control unit 11 skips the process of step S68.
