The voting reception unit 111 acquires various information input on the screens shown in FIGS. 5 to 7 from the terminal 20 and associates the information with the voter ID for identifying the voter who uses the terminal 20. Information is stored in the storage unit 12. Specifically, the voting reception unit 111 determines the competition ID for identifying the competition voted by the voter, the type of value used by the voter for voting, the betting ceremony, and the voting target (selected athlete and the selected athlete). The number of bet points or the bet amount is stored in the storage unit 12 in association with the voter ID.

The information acquisition unit 112 acquires information indicating a voting target voted by the first user. Specifically, the information acquisition unit 112 includes one or more selected athletes selected by the first user from a plurality of athletes participating in the competition and one or more selected athletes selected by the first user in the voting received by the voting reception unit 111. Voting information indicating the ranking of each of the selected athletes is obtained. The information acquisition unit 112 acquires voting information by, for example, extracting the rankings of the selected athlete and the selected athlete from various information stored in the storage unit 12.

The player identification unit 113 identifies the player of interest that the first user pays attention to based on the voting information. Specifically, the player identification unit 113 identifies the player of interest that the first user pays attention to, based on the ranking of each of the one or more selected players indicated by the voting information. The athlete identification unit 113 identifies, for example, the selected athlete whose expected ranking is first place as the athlete of interest. The player identification unit 113 may specify a selected player whose expected ranking is equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold value (for example, 2nd place) as a player of interest.

When the first user votes in a plurality of betting ceremonies, the athlete identification unit 113 may identify the player of interest based on the ranking of each selected athlete in each betting ceremony. The plurality of betting formulas may be different betting formulas or may be the same betting formula. Specifically, first, the information acquisition unit 112 acquires voting information including a plurality of ranks corresponding to a plurality of betting formulas. Then, the player identification unit 113 identifies the player of interest based on a plurality of rankings corresponding to the plurality of betting ceremonies.

The player identification unit 113 identifies the player of interest, for example, based on the height of the attention value of the selected player calculated based on the ranking expected in each betting formula among one or more selected players. do. The attention value is a numerical value indicating the high degree of attention that the first user pays attention to the selected athlete. The larger the numerical value is, the higher the degree of attention of the first user is, and the smaller the numerical value is, the higher the degree of attention of the first user. Indicates that the degree of attention is low.

Specifically, first, the player identification unit 113 calculates the attention value obtained by summing the numerical values indicated by the rank parameters corresponding to the ranks expected in each betting formula for each selected player. Then, the player identification unit 113 identifies the selected player having a relatively high attention value among one or more selected players as the player of interest.

The rank parameter is a numerical value set for each predictable rank (for example, from 1st to 3rd place). For example, the higher the rank, the larger the value, and the lower the rank, the smaller the value. In the betting ceremony regardless of the ranking, such as triples, the same numerical value is set for each selected player. The ranking parameter in the betting formula regardless of the ranking is set to a numerical value (for example, "2") from the numerical value of the highest predictable ranking (for example, 1st place) to the numerical value of the lowest predictable ranking (for example, 3rd place). Will be done.

The player identification unit 113 identifies, for example, the selected player with the highest attention value among one or more selected players as the player of interest. The player identification unit 113 may specify, among one or more selected athletes, the selected athlete whose attention value is equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold value as the selected athlete. By operating the player identification unit 113 in this way, it is possible to improve the accuracy of identifying the player of interest of the first user.

The player identification unit 113 calculates the attention value based on the numerical value indicated by the ranking parameter corresponding to the expected ranking in each betting formula and the bet number bet or the bet value based on the bet in each betting formula. You may. The bet price is, for example, a division value obtained by dividing by the minimum unit price at which a bet can be bet, and when the bet is "200 yen" and the minimum unit price is "100 yen", the bet price is "200 yen / 100 yen = 2 ". Specifically, the competitor identification unit 113 multiplies the numerical value indicated by the ranking parameter corresponding to the expected ranking in each betting formula by the number of bets bet or the bet value based on the bet in each betting formula. The attention value is calculated by summing the multiplication values.

For example, the first user has a stake of "200 yen" and "1st place is 5th, 2nd place is 3rd 2 cars", and the stake "100 yen" is "1st, 3rd and 5th players". Suppose that you voted for "triple to select." Further, for example, "3" is set for the ranking parameter corresponding to the first place, "2" is set for the ranking parameter corresponding to the second place, and "2" is set for the ranking parameter in the betting formula regardless of the ranking. Is set. In this case, the player identification unit 113 calculates the attention value “2 × 1 = 2” in the case of the selected player “No. 1”, and the attention value “2 × 2 + 2” in the case of the selected player “No. 3”. × 1 = 6 ”is calculated, and in the case of the selected player“ No. 5 ”, the attention value“ 3 × 2 + 2 × 1 = 8 ”is calculated.

The player identification unit 113 calculates the attention value based on the numerical value indicated by the ranking parameter corresponding to the expected ranking in each betting formula and the betting value obtained by multiplying the coefficient according to the selected voting type. May be good. As for the coefficient, for example, a higher numerical value is set for "money voting" among "point voting" and "money voting". For example, when the coefficient of "point voting" is "0.5" and the coefficient of "money voting" is "1.0", the athlete identification unit 113 has "200 points" in "point voting". If a bet is made, the attention value is calculated using the bet value "200 points / 100 points x 0.5 = 1", and if "200 yen" is bet in the "money vote", the bet value is "200 yen". / 100 yen x 1.0 = 2 "is used to calculate the attention value.

The information providing unit 114 provides the second user with attention information indicating the player of interest specified by the athlete specifying unit 113. The information providing unit 114 causes the terminal 20 to display, for example, a screen displaying the player of interest of the first user.

The information providing unit 114 may provide the attention information of the first user to the second user depending on whether or not the second user permits the disclosure of the player of interest. Specifically, the information providing unit 114 provides the second user with the attention information corresponding to the first user, provided that the second user's attention athlete is allowed to be disclosed.

For example, in the voting service, it is possible to set whether or not to open the attention player to other users (public setting, private setting), and the information providing unit 114 is set to be public by the second user. In this case, the attention information corresponding to the first user is provided to the second user. On the other hand, when the second user is set to be private, the information providing unit 114 does not provide the attention information corresponding to the first user to the second user. By operating the information providing unit 114 in this way, it is possible to increase the number of users who are allowed to disclose the information of interest.

The information providing unit 114 may provide the second user with the attention information of the first user who is near the second user. Specifically, first, the information acquisition unit 112 indicates the position of the terminal 20 from each of the first terminal, which is the terminal 20 used by the first user, and the second terminal, which is the terminal 20 used by the second user. Get the location information of. Then, the information providing unit 114 exists between the position indicated by the position information corresponding to the second terminal and a predetermined distance (for example, 10 meters, etc.) among the one or more first terminals for which the position information has been acquired. The attention information of the first user of one terminal is provided to the second user. By operating the information providing unit 114 in this way, for example, it is possible to provide the second user with the attention information of the first user who is in the same room as the second user.

After voting, the information providing unit 114 may provide attention information different from that before voting. Specifically, first, the information providing unit 114 provides the first attention information to the second user before the second user votes for the competition. Then, the information providing unit 114 provides the second user with the second attention information in addition to the first attention information provided to the second user after the second user has voted for the competition and before the second user has voted for the competition. offer.

The information providing unit 114 provides, for example, first attention information indicating one player of interest (for example, a favorite) to a second user, and provides the remaining players of interest (for example, opposition, single hole, consecutive subordinates, etc.). The second attention information to be shown is provided to the second user. By operating the information providing unit 114 in this way, it is possible to prevent the exact same votes from increasing too much. As a result, the second user can compare the attention player paid by the second user with the attention competition paid by the first user. As a result, the information processing apparatus 10 can increase the enjoyment after voting.

The information providing unit 114 secondly indicates that when the second user votes based on the attention player information of the first user and the attention player of the first user changes, the attention player has changed. You may notify the user. Specifically, first, the voting receiving unit 111 accepts a vote from the second user to the same player as the one voted by the first user. Then, the information providing unit 114 pays attention when the attention athlete specified by the athlete specifying unit 113 changes from the first attention athlete notified to the second user by the information providing unit 114 to the second attention athlete. Notify the second user that the competitor has changed. The first attention athlete and the second attention athlete are different athletes.

More specifically, first, the athlete identification unit 113 is concerned after the voting reception unit 111 receives a vote from the second user for the same athlete as the athlete whose first vote was made by the first user. When a second vote for the same competition is accepted from the first user, the player of interest is identified based on the voting information corresponding to the first voting and the voting information corresponding to the second voting. Then, the information providing unit 114 responds to the first vote from the first attention athlete specified based on the voting information corresponding to the first vote by the attention athlete specified by the athlete identification unit 113. When the player changes to the second player of interest identified based on the voting information and the voting information corresponding to the second vote, the second user is notified that the player of interest has changed.

For example, the athlete identification unit 113 totals the first attention value based on the voting information corresponding to the first vote and the second attention value based on the voting information corresponding to the second vote for each selected athlete. Then, the player of interest is identified based on the height of the attention value of the total selected player. The player identification unit 113 uses a coefficient used for calculating each attention value, and the coefficient used for calculating the second attention value is larger than the coefficient used for calculating the first attention value. Then, each attention value (first attention value and second attention value) may be calculated. By using such a coefficient, the player identification unit 113 can easily identify the player who was voted later as a player of interest.

For example, voting in a voting service includes "normal voting" in which a user himself / herself selects and votes for a player, and "ride voting" in which a user votes for a player of interest (for example, a favorite) of another user. When the information providing unit 114 changes the attention player of the first user corresponding to the "ride voting" from the first attention player to the second attention player after the second user votes in the "ride voting". Notifies the second user that the player of interest has changed. By operating the information providing unit 114 in this way, it is possible to determine whether or not to change the player who voted in the same manner as the first user.

In the above, the information providing unit 114 has described an example of providing attention information to the second user, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the information providing unit 114 may provide attention information to the first user. By operating the information providing unit 114 in this way, the first user determines whether or not the attention player assumed by the first user himself and the attention player indicated by the provided attention information match. You can check. As a result, the first user can review the content of the vote if the player of interest assumed by the first user himself and the player of interest indicated by the provided attention information do not match. As a result, the information processing apparatus 10 can provide the first user with a motivation for reviewing the voted content.
