An SNS system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
In the embodiment of this magazine, the event to be posted is a TV program currently being broadcast. watching games, weddings, etc.). That is, this embodiment may be anything as long as it relates to social viewing.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the system environment of an impression sharing service for television broadcasting, tentatively called an "emograph (emotional graph)", according to the embodiment. In the figure, SNS servers 2A to 2C of companies A, B, and C that provide SNS are connected to a network 1 such as the Internet. An emograph server 3 that provides services related to is connected.

Furthermore, mobile terminals 4 and 5 serving as client devices used by users in this system are connected to the network 1 via an access point (AP) 6 or a base station 7 .

Each of the SNS servers 2A to 2C is a server device operated by each company to provide an existing SNS, and stores account information including registered individual members and their friendships in a database.

The emograph server 3 is a server device for a comment sharing service of television broadcasting operated by Company A, like the SNS server 2A.

On the other hand, the mobile terminals 4 and 5 on the client side include smartphones, feature phones, etc., and are mobile phones that operate on an OS such as Android (registered trademark) or iOS (registered trademark). It may also be a notebook personal computer, a mobile computer, a tablet computer, or the like. In any case, it is assumed that the mobile terminals 4 and 5 are preinstalled with an application program for the impression sharing service "Emograph" of the television broadcasting according to the present embodiment.

The hardware configuration itself of the electronic circuits of the SNS servers 2A to 2C, the emograph server 3, and the mobile terminals 4 and 5 is very common and well known, and its description and explanation will be omitted.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described.
FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the processing contents between the client-side portable terminal 5 and the emograph server 3, which is the basic concept of this embodiment.
In particular, in FIG. 2, every time a mobile terminal 5 on the user (client) side makes an emo call, an emograph server (server) 3 aggregates emotions from the mobile terminal 5, and sends the aggregated aggregated results to the user. It is configured to reply with

That is, the portable terminal 5 waits for an emo call (step C01). When it is determined that an operation for making an emo call has been performed, portable terminal 5 executes emo call processing for emograph server 3 in accordance with the push notification setting described later at that time (step C02). ).

On the other hand, the emograph server 3 always waits for an emo call from the client side (step S01). Upon receiving an emo call from the mobile terminal 5, the emograph server 3 executes a preset tallying process, which will be described later, and returns the tallying result to the mobile terminal 5 (step S02).

After transmitting the emo call to the emograph server 3, the portable terminal 5 waits for the total result from the emograph server 3 to be returned (step C03). When judging that the emograph server 3 has returned the aggregated result, the mobile terminal 5 displays the returned aggregated result on the screen and, if necessary, executes voice notification processing as appropriate. The user can recognize that the emo call has been properly processed on the emograph server 3 side.

The operation from the state where the portable terminal 5 logs in to the emograph server 3 will be described in more detail below.
FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing the details of processing up to login when access is received from the portable terminal 5 via the network 1, which is executed by the emograph server 3. FIG.

When the portable terminal 4 in which the emograph application program is installed accesses the emograph server 3 via the network 1 by activating the program, the emograph server 3 first executes the emograph at that time. Based on the registration results of the emotions (emo) of all participating members regardless of whether they are friends of the user of the mobile terminal 5, a graph reflecting it (hereinafter referred to as an "emograph" in the drawings) ) together with the list image data of the television programs being broadcast at that point in time, and is transmitted to the accessing portable terminal 5 (step S101).

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an image of the program list displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal 4 at this time. In the figure, for all 7 channels from 1st channel (ch) to 8th channel (ch) as of 4:00 pm, the TV program name and broadcast time zone for each channel are displayed, and the member at that time It displays the emographs for everyone.

This emograph is, for example, a bar graph consisting of a total of three colors, red, yellow, and blue, expressing members' impressions in colors. In addition to being able to understand the trends, it is possible to predict the content of the program, the level of satisfaction, etc., to some extent, in combination with the program name, by the degree of classification of the three colors.

In response to the display of this program list, the emograph server 3 waits for any channel to be selected on the portable terminal 5 side (step S102). When one of the channels is selected, the emograph server 3 displays a window prompting the member to newly register or log in on the image of the "program timeline", which is the member's impression list regarding the TV program of the selected channel. are superimposed on each other to form data of an image, and the data is returned to the portable terminal 5 (step S103).

FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an image of the program timeline displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal 5 at this time. On this screen, in order to share the impressions of the TV program with friends, a window W11 displays a guide message "new registration/login is required to display friends" and an operation button of "new registration/login". and waits for the same operation button to be selected.

Then, when the operation button is selected and operated, the emograph server 3 further transmits to the mobile terminal 5 data of an image prompting selection of either "new registration" or "login", and one of these is selected. By selecting and operating, for example, it is determined whether or not "new registration" is selected (step S104).

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of an image displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal 5 prompting selection of either "new registration" or "login". Here, the functions on the "Emograph" are displayed as icons "Friend display", "Emo", "Check-in", "Comment", and "New registration" or "Login" buttons are displayed. urges you to choose.

Here, each of the above functions will be briefly described.
"Friend display" is a friend of another SNS registered in advance by the user of the mobile terminal 4 or 5 and who is using this "emograph" application program at that time. This is a function for displaying using an avatar or the like.
"Emo" is a function that allows users to express their general impressions of TV programs.
"Check-in" is a function for confirming an expression of participation, which is set to perform the "Comment" function below.
"Comment" is a function for the user to express his/her impression of the TV program using text information and transmit the comment.

When "new registration" is operated on the mobile terminal 5 from the image shown in FIG. Image data prompting one selection is formed and transmitted (step S105).

FIG. 8 exemplifies a new registration image displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal 5 at this time. Here, the new registration consists of three steps as a whole. SNS" are displayed, and the user is urged to operate one of them.

For example, when "A. SNS" is selected on the mobile terminal 5, the emograph server 3 accepts it, uses the account of the user of the mobile terminal 5 to access the corresponding SNS server 2A of company A, and 5 and the account information of friends registered by the user are collectively obtained (step S106).

At this time, if the SNS system allows the user of the mobile terminal 5 to set the priority regarding the friend's account information registered by the user of the mobile terminal 5, It is also possible to determine whether or not to display the information.

The processes of steps S105 and S106 are not executed only for one selected SNS, but can be executed for a plurality of SNSs.

FIG. 9 exemplifies an image based on data from the emograph server 3, which is displayed after "A. SNS" is selected from the state of FIG. Here, emograph server 3
The mobile terminal 5 obtained from the SNS server 2A of company A executes the process of "new registration" on the side and confirms that it is the second step among the three steps and that it has been registered using "A. SNS". The image of the user's avatar, the handle name in the SNS, and the fact that three other friends who are currently registered in this SNS are also participating in "Emograph" are displayed. Furthermore, for other "B. SNS" and "C. SNS", an operation button for selecting to add a friend in cooperation and a button for prompting the transition to the next step are displayed together.

FIG. 10 exemplifies an image based on data from the emograph server 3 when the "B. SNS" button is operated on the portable terminal 5 from the display screen of FIG. Here, as in FIG. 9 above, it is displayed that this is the second step among the three steps, and that three friends have been added using "B. SNS". Here, for "C. SNS" that has not yet been selected, an operation button for selecting adding a friend in cooperation with the user and a button prompting the user to proceed to the next step are also displayed.

In this way, in accordance with the processing of the mobile terminal 5 regarding new registration, the emograph server 3 executes the new registration processing for the user of the mobile terminal 5 according to a preset procedure (step S107).

If it is determined in step S104 that it is not a new registration, that is, if it is determined that "login" is selected from the screen shown in FIG. image data for prompting selection of one from a plurality of SNSs is formed and transmitted (step S108).

The log-in image displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal 5 at this time is that the item "new registration" in FIG. Except for the fact that the actual three operation buttons "A. SNS", "B. SNS" and "C. SNS" are displayed and the subsequent operations are almost the same as in the case of new registration.

For example, when "A.SNS" is selected on the mobile terminal 5, the emograph server 3 accepts the selection of "A.SNS" and uses the account of the user of the mobile terminal 5 to respond. The SNS server 2A of company A is accessed, and the account information of the user of the portable terminal 5 and the account information of the friend registered by the user are collectively obtained (step S109).

The processes of steps S108 and S109 are not executed only for one selected SNS, but can be executed for a plurality of SNSs.

FIG. 11 illustrates an image based on data from the emograph server 3 displayed after "A. SNS" is selected. Here, the SNS server 2A of company A executes the process of "login" on the side of the emograph server 3 and confirms that it is the second step among the three steps and that it has been registered using "A.SNS". The image of the avatar of the user of the mobile terminal 5 and the handle name in the SNS are displayed. Furthermore, for other "B. SNS" and "C. SNS", an operation button for selecting to add a friend in cooperation and a button for prompting the transition to the next step are displayed together.

Following the new registration process (FIGS. 9 and 10) in step S107 or the login process (FIG. 11) in step S109, the emograph server 3 sends a message to confirm friends who are watching the same TV program. Data of an image prompting the user to select whether or not to set the push notification function is transmitted to the mobile terminal 5, and the operation result for the image is determined (step S111).

FIG. 12 is a diagram exemplifying an image that is displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal 5 at this time and prompts the user to set the push notification. Here, "notification setting" is being processed, and it is the final and third step in the three steps. By clicking "OK (setting)", a guide message is displayed indicating that friends who are watching the same TV program can check it. In addition, an operation button for "set push notification" is also displayed.

By operating this operation button on the mobile terminal 5 side, the emograph server 3 transmits to the mobile terminal 5 image data for selecting whether or not to perform the setting.
FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an alert screen displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal 5 at this time, asking whether to permit setting of push notification. In the same figure, along with displaying a guide message for confirming whether or not it is necessary for "Emograph" to send a push notification to the user, operation buttons for "OK (permit)" and "not permit" are also displayed. there is

The emograph server 3 determines which operation button has been operated on the mobile terminal 5 with respect to the alert image shown in FIG.

If "OK (permit)" is operated here, the emograph server 3, which has received the operation from the mobile terminal 5, determines it in step S111 and sets the push notification for the mobile terminal 5. , to the portable terminal 5, image data indicating that the push notification has been set is transmitted (step S112), the processing for login shown in FIG. Transition.

Also, when the operation button "not permitted" is operated on the screen shown in FIG. In step S113, push notification is not set for mobile terminal 5, and image data indicating that push notification is not set and friend's avatar is not displayed is transmitted to mobile terminal 5 (step S113). ), the processing for login shown in FIG.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing the details of processing executed by the emograph server 3 in response to a call originating from the logged-in portable terminal 5 or the like.
The emograph server 3 determines whether or not the transmission from the mobile terminal 5 is related to the emo transmission (step S201), whether or not the transmission is related to the check-in setting (step S205), and transmits a comment on the television program. (step S207), whether it is a push notification setting change (step S211), or whether it is a call for logout (step S213). Wait for one of these conditions to occur.

When the mobile terminal 5 makes an emo call for a TV program to the emograph server 3, the emograph server 3 that has received this judges it in the above step S201, and at that time, the user of the mobile terminal 5 pushes notification. Emo transmission processing is executed according to the setting state of (step S202).

FIG. 14 is a diagram showing the configuration of the database (DB) of the emograph server 3. As shown in FIG. For example, the emograph server 3 holds emotional information such as laughter, cry, and anger, and also includes ID, address, age, gender, SNS account, location information, channel, program name, program content, maximum number of instantaneous emo calls, Information such as program start time and program end time is held.

Incidentally, FIG. 15 illustrates a configuration of the database (DB) of the emograph server 3 when an emo call is made to a video site instead of the television program.

Here, the emograph server 3 holds emotional information such as laughter, cry, and anger, and also ID, address, age, gender, SNS account, location information, video site title, URL, number of playbacks, and current playback position. , and total time.

Furthermore, FIG. 16 illustrates a diagram showing the configuration of the database (DB) of the emograph server 3 when an emo call is made to a news site instead of the television program.

Here, the emograph server 3 holds emotional information such as laughter, cry, and anger, as well as information such as ID, address, age, gender, SNS account, location information, news title, and URL. there is

The emo graph server 3, which has executed the emo transmission process in step S202, then executes a tallying process for the transmitted emos (step S203), and returns the tallying result to the mobile terminal 5 (step S203). S204), and then the process proceeds from step S205.

FIG. 17 is a diagram showing the process of changing the ratio of the number of emo transmissions in a television program having a time slot of "07:00 to 8:00", for example. It is possible to visually display changes in the numbers of each of the three emotions of crying, anger, and laughter, with the total being 100% instead of the absolute number of emo calls.

For example, at 7:00, crying 30%, anger 20%, laughing 50%, and at 7:10, crying 40%, anger 20%, laughing 40%.

Therefore, the user of the mobile terminal 5 can easily grasp the change in the ratio of the number of emo calls in one program from 7:00 to 8:00, and how many friends of the user are interested in the same program. It is possible to grasp the overall tendency of whether it was such an impression.

FIG. 18 is a diagram showing changes in the number of emo transmissions of "laughter", in particular, in television programs from 7:00 to 8:00. For example, at 7:10, the number of emo calls (the number of emo callers) was 80, whereas at 7:50, 200 users sent the emotion of "laughter." .

Also, 7:50 is the maximum number of emo transmissions. Here, the maximum number of emo calls at that time is defined as the instantaneous maximum number of emo calls.

For example, when comparing the maximum instantaneous audience rating and the maximum number of instantaneous emo calls, the so-called maximum instantaneous audience rating is the percentage of people who actually watch the program, whereas the maximum instantaneous number of emo calls is simply the program. Both are different because the information includes not only the user's view of the scene, but also the user's feelings about the scene.

17 and 18 can be aggregated by narrowing down the target users to friends of the user of the mobile terminal 5, or can be aggregated by including non-friends and output the results. can also

FIG. 19 is a diagram exemplifying a television program timeline screen displayed on the mobile terminal 5 after the login process. Compared to the timeline screen shown in FIG. 6, since it is after login, only other users who are registered as friends of the user of the mobile terminal 5 post the content.

At the top of the screen, the program name and broadcast time of the selected TV program are displayed, along with a detail button MD for displaying a detailed explanation of the program, and furthermore, the emo call was made at that time. Based on the content, red, yellow, and blue emo-sent posting tendencies, each with a face symbol, are displayed according to the width.

In addition, most of the central portion of the screen displays the most recent content posted on the TV program at that time. Furthermore, at the bottom of the screen, as operation buttons for sending emo, from the left side, a button with a smiling face symbol in the center in a red frame, and an angry face symbol in the center in a yellow frame. A button with a crying face in the center and a button with a crying face symbol in the center are displayed.

In this embodiment, the case of making color-coded emo calls with face symbols is exemplified. It is also possible to easily build a system that prompts votes for either song program.

If any of these buttons for emo transmission is operated, the emo graph server 3 determines this in step S201, and executes emo transmission processing according to the push notification setting state.

That is, as the processing related to the emo transmission executed by the emograph server 3, after confirming that the mobile terminal 5 is set to check-in at that time, the account information of the logged-in mobile terminal 5 user and the Associate and register emo information about the transmitted TV program.

Accompanying this registration, the emo graph server 3 aggregates the emo information transmitted by the user of the mobile terminal 5 for the TV program, specifically, collects the emo information among the registered friends of the user of the mobile terminal 5. Aggregation processing and aggregation processing for all emograph members who are not registered as friends are executed (step S203).

After that, the emograph server 3 converts the totalized result into image data corresponding to the setting state of the push notification of the mobile terminal 5 at that time and returns it to the mobile terminal 5 (step S204). It returns to the process from step S205.

In FIG. 20, the user of the mobile terminal 5 who has set the push notification from the state where the screen of FIG. 19 is displayed places an angry face symbol in the yellow frame in the center of the lower part of the screen. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of a response image from the emograph server 3 in response to the result of emo transmission by operating a button;

Here, it is assumed that 30[%] of all friends who have made emo calls are friends who have operated a button with an angry face symbol inside a yellow frame, just like the user of the mobile terminal 5. It is displayed with images of several avatars of friends.

In addition, in the system in which the mobile terminal 5 posts, the emograph server 3 can identify the current position of the mobile terminal 5 from the information of the base station and access point, etc. Aggregation processing associated with the area may be performed on the obtained contents and reflected in the aggregation result.

If the user of the mobile terminal 5 has not set the push notification, as shown in the upper part of the screen of FIG. , yellow, and blue emo transmission posting trends according to their width, and an image that displays a guide message that a friend's avatar can be displayed by setting push notification is displayed on the mobile terminal 5. will be displayed.

When the user of the mobile terminal 5 operates the detail button MD on the upper part of the screen while the screen of FIG. user has set up push notifications.

Then, when it is determined that the push notification is set, the emo graph server 3 sends red, yellow, and blue emo messages with face symbols, which are emo messages sent to the TV program at that time. and the image data of the friend's avatar in an enlarged range and returned to the mobile terminal 5.例文帳に追加

FIG. 21 illustrates an image displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal 5 at this time. 19. In the same figure, the range showing the tendency of friends to post emo messages is greatly enlarged compared to the image shown in FIG. , at least part of the avatar image of the friend who made the emo call is displayed. By selecting any one of these friend's avatar images and performing a touch operation, it is possible to know other TV programs recently checked in by the friend.

FIG. 22 exemplifies an image displayed on the mobile terminal 5 instead when the avatar image of the friend A11 is touch-operated from the blue area where the crying face symbol is arranged on the screen of FIG. 21 above. It is a figure to do. At this time, the emograph server 3 searches other television programs that the person has recently checked in from the account information of the friend selected by the touch operation, converts the search device into image data, and returns the image data to the mobile terminal 5 . Thus, display on the portable terminal 5 side as shown in FIG. 22 is possible.

With regard to such selection of avatar images of friends as well, if the system is capable of setting priorities for friends as described above, the display form of the avatar images can be changed according to the set priorities. Alternatively, the progress state from selection to the next display state may be changed.

It should be noted that when the push notification setting is not made, the emograph server 3 displays face symbols on each of the images as shown in the upper portion of the image in FIG. 19 instead of the displays in FIGS. The red, yellow, and blue emo posting trends are updated and displayed, and a guide message is superimposed to indicate that it is possible to display the friend's avatar image by setting a push notification. Image data may be sent back to the mobile terminal 5 .

Also, in step S207, when it is determined that a comment on a television program has been sent from the mobile terminal 5, the emograph server 3 that has received the message responds to the push notification setting state of the user of the mobile terminal 5 at that time. A comment sending process for the TV program is executed (step S208).

After that, after executing update processing regarding the comment of the TV program based on the transmitted comment information (step S209), the update result is returned to the mobile terminal 5 (step S210), and then the above step The process proceeds from S211.

FIG. 23 displays an image explaining the details of the TV program when the detail button MD on the upper part of the screen explained in FIG. 19 is operated. Furthermore, it is a figure which illustrates a display screen in the state in which the "comment" button in the same image was temporarily selected.

In this case, characters can be input when the actual comment input frame CI at the bottom of the screen is operated, and the user can create and transmit (submit) an arbitrary comment.

The information of the comment transmitted in this manner is added to the comment from the other user who is registered as a friend on the side of the emograph server 3 as described above, and the updated contents are returned to the portable terminal 5 and displayed. be done.

As described in detail above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to share the user's impressions of an event such as a TV program in real time with friends.

In the above embodiment, symbols representing simple facial expressions and graph images color-coded according to emotional options are displayed for each TV program as the tally result. It is very easy to visually understand the impressions of friends, and it is possible for the participants themselves to participate more easily in order to transmit their impressions.

In addition, in the above embodiment, in displaying the impressions, comments, etc. of the friends, the avatar images of the friends obtained from each SNS server are also displayed. As a result, even if you are watching the same TV program in a remote environment, you can feel a sense of unity with your friends. You can have a deeper sense of intimacy.

As partially explained in the above embodiment, the user of the mobile terminal 5 may arbitrarily set priority information regarding account information of friends registered in each of the SNS servers 2A to 2C. Accordingly, for example, a friend to whom the avatar image is displayed or a friend to whom the posted comment is displayed may be selected, or the mode of display may be changed.

By doing so, the information from the friend whom the user considers to be closer to the user is surely reflected in the display image, so the information of the image displayed on the portable terminal 5 becomes more interesting.

Also, although not explained in the above embodiment, if another friend makes an emo call while the image shown in FIG. It is also possible to adopt a display form in which the avatar image of a friend who sent an emo message appears in the display image and interrupts, and it is also possible to emphasize the reality of sharing the program in real time. is.
