Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2013-114487

The voting methods used in the voting competitions are complex, making it difficult for voters with little voting experience (hereinafter referred to as "voting beginners") to vote. For example, in the case of bicycle races, horse races, boat races, etc., beginners of voting have difficulty figuring out how to vote because they have to select voting methods and competitors from among many voting patterns.

Therefore, it is conceivable that the voting beginners are presented with the contents that other experienced voters would vote on, and the voting beginners vote on the same contents as the other voters. However, if many beginners of voting refer to the votes cast by the same other voters, a problem arises in that votes for the same contestant become too concentrated.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to prevent votes from being too concentrated for the same contestant.

An information processing device according to one aspect of the present invention is an information processing device that receives votes for a competition in which voting is possible for voting targets, and in which the information processing device is associated with each of a plurality of predictors who predict the result of the competition, A storage unit that stores predicted voting targets designated by each of the plurality of predictors, and a storage unit that stores predicted voting targets specified by each of the plurality of predictors, and a storage unit that stores predicted voting targets specified by each of the plurality of forecasters, and a storage unit that stores predicted voting targets specified by each of the plurality of predicted voting targets, and and a presentation unit that presents at least one of one or more predicted voting targets selected by a predetermined number or less of voters, or one or more predicted voting targets of one or more predictors selected by a predetermined number or less of voters.

According to the present invention, it is possible to prevent votes from being too concentrated for the same contestant.

<System configuration>
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the system configuration of a voting system 1 according to the present embodiment. The voting system 1 shown in FIG. 1 includes an information processing device 10 and one or more terminals 20. The information processing device 10 and the terminal 20 are communicably connected to each other via a communication network N such as the Internet, an intranet, a wireless LAN, or a mobile communication network.

The information processing device 10 is a device that accepts votes for competitions in which voting is possible. Specifically, the information processing device 10 provides support for a voter using the terminal 20 to bet a predetermined value on a contestant who is predicted to win the competition in competitions such as bicycle racing, horse racing, and boat racing. It is a device that does

The voter determines the voting target determined by a combination of the number of athletes or athletes who are predicted to win the competition and the voting method (i.e., betting type), and the determined voting target and the voting target. It is possible to vote by setting a predetermined value of bet number or bet amount on the terminal 20. If the sport for which you are voting is Keirin, for example, you may choose to vote for ``a two-car racer with 1st place being 5th place and 2nd place being 3rd place'' or ``selecting the 1st, 2nd, and 5th place competitors.'' It is ``triple combination''. Note that 2-car combination means predicting the first and second place competitors according to the order of their finish, and triple combination means predicting the competitors who will finish 1st to 3rd place regardless of the order of finish. It is to be expected.

The predetermined value may be money, or points that can be used in a predetermined service or game. Further, the points may be points that the voter can receive for free (free points), or points that can be received in exchange for payment of money (paid points).

The voter can receive a payout value (for example, money) determined based on the size and odds of the predetermined value used for voting. For example, if the voting content is correct as a result of voting using the first value, the first payout value is determined based on the odds corresponding to the voting content and the voted first value. Furthermore, if the voting content is correct as a result of voting using the second value, the second payout value is determined based on the odds corresponding to the voting content and the voted second value. Here, the first refund value and the second refund value are different values. Further, the odds for the voting content may be determined based on the voting content of all voters based on the second value.

The information processing device 10 includes, for example, one or more physical servers. The information processing device 10 may be configured using a virtual server running on a hypervisor, or may be configured using a cloud server.

The terminal 20 is a terminal used by a voter who votes, and is, for example, an information processing terminal such as a mobile phone (including a smartphone), a tablet terminal, or a personal computer. Voters can vote for voting targets by operating the terminal 20. When the terminal 20 receives the input of the voting object from the voter, the terminal 20 indicates the voting object in association with voter identification information (hereinafter referred to as "voter ID") for identifying the voter who uses the terminal 20. The information is transmitted to the information processing device 10.

The information processing device 10 performs a process of storing the voting object for which a voter using the terminal 20 has voted, a process of storing the amount of value owned by the voter, and a process of storing the amount of remuneration (i.e., the payout amount) according to the result of the competition. ).

In the voting system 1, in order to make it easier for beginners to understand how to vote, the information processing device 10 sends to the terminal 20 voting targets specified by a predictor predicting the outcome of the competition. By displaying the information, the voting object is presented to the voter. The predictor is, for example, a voter who has a lot of experience in voting for competitions or a voter who has a lot of knowledge about the contestants, and is registered in the information processing device 10 in advance. The predictor may be a part of a plurality of voters, or may be a person who only makes predictions without voting.

After viewing one or more voting objects displayed on the terminal 20, the voter can vote for the same voting object, or at least a part of the voting object, as the displayed voting object. In this specification, voting for the same voting target, or at least a part of the voting target, as the voting target predicted by the predictor is referred to as "shared voting".

If a large number of voters jointly vote for the same voting object, there is a risk that the votes for the same voting object will be too concentrated. Therefore, the information processing device 10 selects a voting target selected by a predetermined number or less of voters from among the plurality of voting targets predicted by the predictor, or a voting target selected by a predetermined number or less of voters. It is characterized by presenting at least one of the voting targets.
The configuration and operation of the information processing device 10 and the terminal 20 will be described in detail below.

<Hardware configuration>
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of the information processing device 10. The information processing device 10 includes a processor 11 , a storage section 12 , a communication IF (Interface) 13 , an input device 14 , and an output device 15 .

The processor 11 is, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or a GPU (Graphical Processing Unit), and realizes various functions by executing programs stored in the storage unit 12.

The storage unit 12 includes a storage medium such as a memory, an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), or an SSD (Solid State Drive). The storage unit 12 stores programs executed by the processor 11. The storage unit 12 stores the voting object selected by the voter, the voting amount (namely, the bet amount), etc., in association with the voter ID. The storage unit 12 also stores a predicted voting object table that includes information in which each of a plurality of predictors who predict a competition is associated with the predicted voting object specified by each of the plurality of predictors.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a predicted voting target table. In the predicted voting target table shown in FIG. 3, the predictor name, predicted ID, voting method, contestant that the predictor predicted to win (i.e. expected winner), and voters who selected each predicted voting target (ie, the number of selectors) and the number of voters who selected the predictor (ie, the total number of selectors) are associated with each other. Although FIG. 3 illustrates a case where one predictor makes multiple predictions, one predictor may make only one prediction.

“Prediction ID” is information for identifying the content predicted by the person making the prediction. "Predicted voting target" is, for example, a combination of voting method and predicted winner corresponding to a voting target that the predictor has already voted for, or a voting target that has notified the information processing device 10 that the predictor wants to vote. This is the combination of voting method and predicted winner corresponding to . The "number of selectors" is the number of voters who performed shared voting to vote on the same content as the expected voting target. The "total number of selectors" is the number of voters who performed shared voting to vote for the voting target predicted by the predictor.

The communication IF 13 includes a communication controller for performing wired or wireless communication with the terminal 20 via the network N. Communication IF 13 notifies processor 11 of data received from terminal 20. Furthermore, the communication IF 13 transmits data input from the processor 11 to the terminal 20.

The input device 14 receives an input operation from, for example, an administrator of the information processing apparatus 10. The input device 14 is, for example, a keyboard, a touch panel, a mouse, a microphone, or the like. The output device 15 outputs information to the administrator of the information processing device 10, for example. The output device 15 is, for example, a display or a speaker.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of the terminal 20. The terminal 20 includes a processor 21 , a storage section 22 , a communication IF 23 , an input device 24 , and an output device 25 .

The processor 21 is, for example, a CPU, and implements various functions by executing programs stored in the storage unit 22.
The storage unit 22 includes storage media such as ROM (Read Only Memory) and RAM (Random Access Memory). The storage unit 22 stores programs executed by the processor 21.

The communication IF 23 includes a communication controller for performing wired or wireless communication with the information processing device 10 via the network N. The communication IF 23 notifies the processor 21 of the data received from the information processing device 10. Furthermore, the communication IF 23 transmits data input from the processor 21 to the information processing device 10.

The input device 24 receives an input operation from, for example, a voter. The input device 24 is, for example, a keyboard, touch panel, mouse, or microphone. The output device 25 outputs information to voters, for example. The output device 25 is, for example, a display or a speaker.

<Functional block configuration>
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the functional block configuration of the processor 11. The processor 11 includes a presentation section 111, a reception section 112, and a benefit provision section 113. The processor 11 functions as a presentation section 111 , a reception section 112 , and a benefit provision section 113 by executing a program stored in the storage section 12 .

The presentation unit 111 displays various information on the terminal 20 to present various information to the voter. For example, the presentation unit 111 may transmit information to be displayed on the terminal 20 to the terminal 20, or may transmit data of a screen to be displayed on the terminal 20 to the terminal 20.

The reception unit 112 receives an operation performed on the terminal 20 by a voter using the terminal 20. The reception unit 112 receives information indicating the details of the operation performed by the voter, and specifies the details of the operation indicated by the received information.

The benefit granting unit 113 grants a benefit to voters who satisfy a predetermined condition among the voters who have selected a predictor to perform a shared vote. Details of the benefit granting unit 113 will be described later.

<Contents displayed on the terminal 20>
The presentation unit 111 displays one or more predicted voting targets selected by a predetermined number of voters or less among a plurality of predicted voting targets, or a predetermined number of voters or less, to voters who vote for the competition. At least one of the predicted voting targets of one or more predictors selected by the predictor is presented to the voter. The predetermined number is, for example, a number set by an operator of the competition as a permissible number of people voting for the same voting target as one predicter's predicted voting target. The predetermined number may be a number corresponding to a predetermined percentage of the total number of voters who have cast their votes at that time. For example, if the total number of voters is 10,000 and the predetermined percentage is 1%, the predetermined number is 100.

6 to 9 are diagrams showing examples of screens displayed on the terminal 20 by the presentation unit 111. FIG. 6 shows a screen displayed on the terminal 20 where the application software for voting has been activated. FIGS. 7 to 9 are examples of screens displayed on the terminal 20 when a voter selects to vote jointly.

In the screen shown in FIG. 6, an area 251 for selecting a voting method, an area 252 for inputting expected voting targets, an operation image 253 for selecting shared voting, an operation image 254 for performing a cancellation operation, and an operation image 255 for performing a determination operation. If the voter wishes to decide the voting target himself/herself, the voter selects the voting method in area 251, enters the number of the contestant or runner in area 252, and presses the "Decide" button in the operation image 255. You can vote by selecting.

Voters who wish to carry out carpool voting can do so by selecting the ``carpool voting'' button in the operation image 253 and then selecting the ``decision'' button in the operation image 255, without operating areas 251 and 252. can do. When the sharing button is selected, the presentation unit 111 causes the terminal 20 to display a screen on which the predicted voting targets of one or more predictors are displayed, as shown in FIG. 7 .

FIG. 7A is an example of a screen displayed on the terminal 20 of a voter who selects shared voting at the first point in time immediately after voting becomes possible. FIG. 7B is an example of a screen displayed on the terminal 20 of a voter who has selected shared voting at a second time point after the first time point.

In FIGS. 7(a) and 7(b), prediction IDs, predicted voting targets, and odds are displayed in association with each other. Since FIG. 7(a) is a screen that is displayed immediately after voting becomes possible, the terminal 20 can sequentially display all predicted voting targets registered in the predicted voting target table shown in FIG. can.

On the other hand, at the second point in time when FIG. 7(b) is displayed, time has passed since voting became possible, and as shown by the "number of selectors" in FIG. is assumed to be performing a process of copying the predicted voting target. It is assumed that the presentation unit 111 presents only predicted voting targets selected by 50 or fewer voters.

In the example of FIG. 3, the predicted voting target with the predicted ID of A2 has been selected by 60 voters, and the predicted voting target with the predicted ID of B1 has been selected by 55 voters. As described above, in the example shown in FIG. 7(b), the presentation unit 111 presents one or more predicted voting targets selected by 50 or less voters, so that more than 50 voters The predicted voting target whose predicted ID is A2 and the predicted voting target whose predicted ID is B1 are not presented to the terminal 20. As a result, on the screen in FIG. 7(b), predicted voting targets with predicted IDs A1, B2, and C1 are displayed.

By presenting one or more predicted voting targets selected by a predetermined number or less of voters in this way, the presentation unit 111 allows voters to select predicted voting targets selected by more than the predetermined number of voters. The probability of voting for the same voting target as the target decreases. As a result, the voting system 1 can prevent votes from being too concentrated for the same contestant.

FIG. 8 is another example of the screen displayed on the terminal 20 when the voter selects to vote jointly. In the screen shown in FIG. 8, the presentation unit 111 presents on the terminal 20 one or more predictors and predicted voting targets of the predictors in association with each other. On the screen shown in FIG. 8, one of the plurality of predicted voting targets of each predictor shown in the predicted voting target table shown in FIG. 3 is displayed in association with the predictor's name.

FIG. 8A is an example of a screen displayed on the terminal 20 of a voter who has selected shared voting at the first point in time immediately after voting becomes possible. FIG. 8B is an example of a screen displayed on the terminal 20 of a voter who has selected shared voting at a second time point after the first time point.

In FIGS. 8(a) and 8(b), the name of the predictor, voting method, predicted voting target, and odds are displayed. Since FIG. 8A is a screen that is displayed immediately after voting becomes possible, all predictors registered in the predicted voting target table shown in FIG. 3 are displayed in order. On the other hand, at the second point in time when FIG. 8(b) is displayed, time has passed since voting became possible, and the voter who selected shared voting is executing the process of copying the predicted voting target. It is assumed. Further, it is assumed that the presentation unit 111 presents predictors selected by 100 or less voters.

In the example of Figure 3, as shown in "Total number of selectors", predicter A, predicter B, predicter C, and predicter D have 95, 87, 160, and 35 people, respectively. selected by voters. As mentioned above, in the example shown in FIG. 8(b), the presentation unit 111 presents one or more predictors selected by 100 or less voters, so if more than 100 voters The selected predictor C is not presented on the terminal 20. As a result, on the screen of FIG. 8(b), predictor A, predictor B, and predictor D are displayed in association with the predicted voting targets.

By presenting the one or more predictors selected by the predetermined number of voters or less in this way, the presentation unit 111 allows the voters to select the predictors selected by more than the predetermined number of voters. The probability of voting for the same voting target as the expected voting target decreases. As a result, the voting system 1 can prevent votes from being too concentrated for the same contestant.

FIG. 9 is another example of the screen displayed on the terminal 20 when the voter selects to vote jointly. In the screen shown in FIG. 9, the predicted voting targets are not displayed, but the names of the predictors, the number of times each predictor has voted in the past, and the winning percentage are shown. Similar to FIGS. 7 and 8, FIG. 9A is an example of a screen displayed on the terminal 20 of a voter who selects shared voting at the first point in time immediately after voting becomes possible. FIG. 9B is an example of a screen displayed on the terminal 20 of a voter who has selected shared voting at a second time point after the first time point.

Also in the example of FIG. 9, the predictor C selected by a predetermined number or more of voters is not shown in FIG. 9(b). In this way, even if the presentation unit 111 does not display the predicted voting target in association with the predictor, the voter may select the voting target predicted by the predictor selected by more than a predetermined number of voters. The probability of voting for the same voting target decreases. As a result, the voting system 1 can prevent votes from being too concentrated for the same contestant.

<Other examples of presentation content>
In the example described above, the presentation unit 111 determines the content to be presented to the terminal 20 based on the number of voters who selected the predicted voting target or the predictor, but the presentation unit 111 determines the content to be presented to the terminal 20 based on other conditions The priority of the content to be presented to the terminal 20 may be determined by For example, the presenting unit 111 may set the priority of presenting to the voter the predicted voting target of the first predictor who has other predictors who have made the same prediction among the plurality of predictors. The predicted voting targets of the second predictor for whom there is no other predictor are given a lower priority than the priority to be presented to the voters. For example, the presentation unit 111 may determine the priority for presenting predicted voting targets among one or more predictors to the voter, based on the number of other predictors who have made the same prediction. .

In the example shown in FIG. 3, forecaster A and forecaster B predict that 1st place will be 4 spots and 2nd place will be 3 spots with only 2 spots. In this case, the presentation unit 111 prioritizes the predictors C and D who do not make the same predictions as the other predictors, rather than the predictors A and B who make the same predictions. make it higher. The presentation unit 111 notifies the terminal 20 of the priority in association with, for example, a plurality of predictor names. By receiving the information indicating the priority from the presentation unit 111, the terminal 20 displays the predicted voting target of the predictor with a relatively high priority at the top of the screen, highlights it, or controls the frequency of display. You can make it higher.

The presentation unit 111 determines that the total number of voters who selected the first predictor and the number of voters who selected other predictors who made the same prediction as the first predictor is greater than or equal to the threshold. In this case, the priority of presenting the predicted voting target of the first predictor to the voter and the priority of presenting the predicted voting target of the second predictor who has not made the same prediction to the voter. It may be lower than . In the case of the example shown in Figure 3, 60 voters selected the predicted voting target with prediction ID A2 predicted by predictor A, and 60 voters selected the predicted voting target with prediction ID B2 predicted by predictor B. The total number is 92 including 32 people. If this total number is equal to or greater than the threshold, the presentation unit 111 may preferentially present to the terminal 20 those other than the predictor A and the predictor B, or may preferentially present to the terminal 20 those other than the predicted voting targets whose prediction IDs are A2 and B2. It may be presented on the terminal 20.

The presentation unit 111 determines that the total number of voters who selected the first predictor and the number of voters who selected other predictors who made the same prediction as the first predictor is the same as the first predictor. The priority of presenting the predicted voting target of the first predictor to the voters is set to The priority level may be lower than that of the other person. For example, predictor A (first predictor) and predictor B (other predictors) are voting for the same voting target, and 50 voters selected predictor A and 50 voters selected predictor B. Suppose there are 50 voters. Assume that there are 70 voters who selected predictor C (second predictor) who voted for a different voting target than the voting targets voted for by predictors A and B.

In this case, the number of voters who selected Predictor A (50 people) and the number of voters who selected Predictor B (50 people) are greater than the number of voters who selected Predictor C (70 people). However, the total number of voters who selected Predictor A and the number of voters who selected Predictor B (100 people) is smaller than the number of voters who selected Predictor C (70 people). There are also many. Therefore, in order to make it difficult for the same voting target to be voted for, the presentation unit 111 sets the priority of presenting the predicted voting target of predictor A, who is the first predictor, to the predictor A, who is the first predictor. It is preferable that the priority of presenting the predicted voting targets of C to voters is lower than that of C. By operating the presenting unit 111 in this manner, the presenting unit 111 can make it difficult for the predictors to vote for the same voting target even when there are multiple predictors who have voted for the same voting target.

The presentation unit 111 sets the priority of presenting to the voter a predicted voting target for which there is another predicted voting target corresponding to the same voting target among the plurality of predicted voting targets. The priority may be lower than the priority of presenting to the voter a predicted voting target for which there is no predicted voting target. The presentation unit 111 may give lower priority than other expected voting targets when the number of voters who have selected a plurality of expected voting targets corresponding to the same voting target is greater than a predetermined number.

Since the presentation unit 111 presents the predictor or the predicted voting target to the terminal 20 based on the priority of the predicter or the predicted voting target in this way, it becomes difficult for the same voting target to be selected, so the voting system 1 , it is possible to prevent votes from being too concentrated for the same contestant.

<Granting benefits>
As described above, the benefit granting unit 113 grants a benefit to voters who meet predetermined conditions among the voters who have selected a predictor who will jointly vote. The benefits are, for example, points that allow you to vote for free, or points that can be exchanged for goods.

The benefit granting unit 113 grants a greater benefit when the voter selects a predictor with a smaller number of selected voters than when the voter selects a predictor with a larger number of selected voters. In other words, the benefit granting unit 113 provides a reward for a voter who has selected a predictor selected by a first voter from among a plurality of predictors by a second voter who is greater than the first voter. To give a larger benefit than to a voter who selected a selected predictor. Similarly, the benefit granting unit 113 grants a larger benefit when a voter selects a predicted voting target with a small number of selected voters than when a voter selects a predicted voting target with a large number of selected voters. It's okay.

Here, large benefits mean not only directly adding value to voters, but also increasing the amount of compensation if the voter's vote is correct, or increasing the possibility that the vote is correct. This includes increasing. For example, if the voter is voting for a competition using the second value, the information processing device 10 may be more sensitive to the same voting content than when the voter is not voting using the second value. The first refund value to be given may be increased. For example, if the voter is voting for a competition using the second value, the information processing device 10 may change the first payout value that would be given if the voter did not vote using the second value. In addition, a different third value may be added.

The benefit granting unit 113 may grant a benefit of a size based on the number of voters who have selected the predictor selected by the voter. That is, the benefit granting unit 113 may grant a greater benefit as the number of voters who have selected the predictor selected by the voter is smaller.

In this way, when the benefit granting unit 113 determines the size of the benefit based on the number of selectors, the presentation is made so that the voter can select the predicter or the predicted voting target after understanding the number of selectors. The unit 111 may display the number of voters who have selected each predictor or the number of voters who have selected each predicted voting target on the screen that displays the predictors or predicted voting targets. By operating the presenting unit 111 and the benefit granting unit 113 in this manner, the voting system 1 can motivate voters to select a predictor with a small number of selectors.

<Presentation by voting method>
In the examples shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, the expected voting target or the predicting person is displayed on the terminal 20 regardless of the voting method, but the presentation unit 111 displays the expected voting target or predicting person based on the voting method selected by the voter. The priority for presenting targets or predictors may be determined.

In this case, the presentation unit 111 displays the predicted voting target corresponding to the voting method selected by the voter on the screen for selecting the voting method shown in FIG. The priority of presenting to the terminal 20 a predictor who has made a prediction using the same voting method as the prediction method may be higher than the priority of presenting other predicted voting targets or other predictors to the terminal 20. For example, the presentation unit 111 displays only predicted voting targets corresponding to the voting method selected by the voter on the screen shown in FIG. It is presented on the terminal 20.

In the case of the example shown in FIG. 3, when the voter selects 2-frame car and 2-car car, the presentation unit 111 selects a predetermined number of selected voters from among the predicted voting targets with predicted IDs A2, B2, C1, and D1. The following expected voting targets are presented to the terminal 20. By operating the presentation unit 111 in this manner, the voter only needs to confirm the predicted voting targets cast using the same voting method as the voting method selected by the voter, or the predictors who have made the voting. This makes it easier for voters to select a desired predicted voting target or predicted person.

<Processing flow of information processing device 10>
FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing of the information processing device 10. The flowchart shown in FIG. 10 starts from the time when "shared voting" is selected on the screen shown in FIG. 6.

First, the presentation unit 111 refers to the predicted voting target table shown in FIG. 3, for example (S11), and selects one predicted voting target from a plurality of predicted voting targets in the predicted voting target table (S12). The presentation unit 111 determines whether the number of voters who selected the selected predicted voting object (that is, the number of selectors) is equal to or less than a predetermined number (S13).

If the number of selectors corresponding to the selected predicted voting target is less than or equal to the predetermined number (YES in S13), the presentation unit 111 determines to present the predicted voting target to the voters (S14). On the other hand, if the number of selectors corresponding to the selected predicted voting target is greater than the predetermined number (NO in S13), the presentation unit 111 determines not to present the predicted voting target to the voters (S15).

Next, the presentation unit 111 determines whether or not the number of selectors is equal to or less than a predetermined number for all predicted voting targets included in the predicted voting target table (S16). . If the presentation unit 111 determines that the confirmation has not been completed (NO in S16), it executes the processes from steps S12 to S16 for the next predicted voting target. If the presentation unit 111 determines that the confirmation has been completed (YES in S16), the presentation unit 111 causes the terminal 20 to display the predicted voting object determined to be presented in step S14 (S17).

Note that although FIG. 10 shows the process in which the presentation unit 111 determines whether the number of voters who have selected a predicted voting target is less than or equal to a predetermined number, the presentation unit 111 may select a predictor The process for determining whether the number of voters who voted is less than or equal to a predetermined number follows a similar flow.

<Effects of voting system 1>
As explained above, the presentation unit 111 provides voters who vote for a competition with one or more predicted voting targets selected by a predetermined number or less of voters among a plurality of predicted voting targets, or At least one of the predicted voting targets of one or more predictors selected by a predetermined number or less of voters is presented. By operating the presentation unit 111 in this manner, it becomes more difficult for a predicted voting target or a predicted person selected by many voters to be selected, so that votes for the same contestant are not concentrated too much.

Although the present invention has been described above using the embodiments, the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the scope described in the above embodiments, and various modifications and changes can be made within the scope of the gist. be.

The information processing device according to supplementary note 1 or 2.
By configuring the information processing device in this way, when there are other predictors who have made the same prediction, it is possible to prevent votes from being too concentrated for the same voting target.
(Additional note 4)
The presentation unit sets the priority of presenting to the voter the predicted voting target of a first predictor among the plurality of predictors who have other predictors who have made the same prediction. lowering the priority of the predicted voting target of the second predictor for whom there is no other predictor to present to the voters;
The information processing device according to any one of Supplementary Notes 1 to 3.
By configuring the information processing device in this way, a predictor who has no other predictors making the same prediction is more likely to be presented, so it is possible to prevent votes from being too concentrated for the same voting target.
(Appendix 5)
The presentation unit determines that the total number of voters who selected the first predictor and the number of voters who selected the other predictor who made the same prediction as the first predictor is a threshold value. If the above is the case, the priority of presenting the predicted voting target of the first predictor to the voter is lower than the priority of presenting the predicted voting target of the second predictor to the voter,
The information processing device according to appendix 4.
By configuring the information processing device in this way, it is easier to present predictions when the total number of voters who have selected the same prediction is small, so votes for the same voting target are too concentrated. This can be prevented.
(Appendix 6)
The presentation unit is configured to display a predicted voting target corresponding to the voting method selected by the voter on the voting method selection screen among the plurality of predictors, or a prediction using the same voting method as the voting method selected by the voter. The priority of presenting the predicter who has been predicted is higher than the priority of presenting other prediction voting targets or other predictors,
The information processing device according to any one of Supplementary Notes 1 to 5.
By configuring the information processing device in this way, it becomes easier for the voter to select a predictor who makes the same prediction as the selected voting method.
