Description

  The present invention relates to an information transmission promotion apparatus, method, and program used in an information exchange system using a community service such as SNS (Social Networking Service).

  With the development of information communication technology and the spread of mobile terminals such as mobile phones, smartphones and tablet terminals, many people use mobile terminals to send information using community services such as e-mail and SNS It has become. Among these, the community service has an advantage that information such as one's own intentions and requests can be easily transmitted by freely writing requests or agreeing with other people's requests. However, since the mental burden of information transmission is large, not everyone can easily transmit information.

  As a factor of the psychological burden of information transmission, the troublesomeness of the operation when transmitting information is considered first. However, in recent years, the user interface (UI) has been refined with the advent of smartphones, and various other techniques for facilitating information transmission operations have been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). For this reason, information transmission operation is becoming relatively easy.

  On the other hand, another factor of the psychological burden is that the psychological barrier for transmitting information increases due to the presence of other users. This is not limited to a network with a large physical distance, but may be more prominent when there are members in a short distance, such as a regional SNS or a disaster shelter. For example, in an environment such as a refuge at the time of a disaster, members of the same refuge (same Many people have observed a phenomenon in which psychology such as refusal acts on community members) and endures without expressing their opinions (see, for example, Non-Patent Document 1).

  If information is not disseminated due to high psychological barriers, there may be a problem that information requested by many people in the community or information requested by many who are considered to be high priority may not be disseminated. . For this reason, it is necessary to make the psychological barrier as low as possible in order to send information to members of the community, especially under special circumstances such as living in a shelter.

  Therefore, in the past, for example, the activity status of communities and community members was automatically collected using various sensing technologies, and communication activities were presented to increase the sense of commonness such as belonging to the community. A countermeasure for reducing a psychological barrier of information transmission for communication has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

However, the technique described in Patent Document 2 requires various sensing techniques, and some users dislike publishing activities, so that psychological barriers are still high.
The present invention has been made paying attention to the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a psychological barrier to information transmission without the need for various sensing techniques and without the constant sharing and disclosure of activities. An object of the present invention is to provide an information transmission promotion apparatus, method and program which can be lowered.

In order to achieve the above object, according to a first aspect of the present invention, communication with a plurality of user terminals used by each user is possible via a communication network, and post information transmitted from the user terminals is received. Then, public information including the received post information is distributed to other user terminals, and information transmission provided with a community service function for collecting information indicating the approval or disapproval of the post information from the user terminals of the distribution destination The promotion device includes a user information storage unit that stores attribute information of the user in association with identification information of the plurality of users, a distribution destination user selection unit, and a transmission unit. And when the said posting information is received, the similarity between the said transmission origin user and each other user based on the attribute information memorize | stored in the said user information storage means by the said delivery destination user selection means , And a user whose calculated similarity exceeds a preset threshold is selected as a delivery destination user of the public information, and a delivery destination user selected as the delivery destination is selected as the similarity. Is divided into a first user group and a second user group having a similarity lower than that of the first user group . Then, the transmission means first selects a first user group from the selected distribution destination users , and transmits the public information to the user terminals belonging to the group, and the first user group of the transmission destination the user terminal, the public information aggregate the number approval from the user terminal, belonging to the group by selecting the second user group if it exceeds a threshold value result of the counting is preset belonging to Is to be sent.

The first aspect of the present invention is characterized by comprising the following aspects.
In the first aspect, the distribution destination user selection means is provided with weight information storing means for each posting category that stores weighting information for user attribute information in association with each of a plurality of preset posting categories. Then, a degree of association between the received posting information and the plurality of posting categories is calculated, a posting category satisfying a preset condition is selected based on the degree of association, and the selected posting category Is read from the posting category-specific weighting information storage means. Then, by adding the read weighting information to the attribute information stored in the user information storage means, the degree of similarity between the source user and each other user is calculated, and this calculation is performed. A user whose similarity exceeds a preset threshold value is selected as a distribution destination user of the public information.

In the second aspect , after transmitting the public information to the user terminal used by the selected delivery destination user in the transmission means, monitoring the return of information indicating the presence or absence of approval from the user terminal, Based on the monitoring result, a user who has already transmitted the public information and has not been approved is selected, and the public information is retransmitted to the user terminal used by the selected user.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, communication is possible with a plurality of user terminals each used by a user via a communication network, and post information transmitted from the user terminal is received and received. In the information transmission promotion device having a community service function for distributing public information including post information to other user terminals and collecting information indicating the presence or absence of approval for the post information from the user terminal of the distribution destination, When the posted information is received, a number of multiples for increasing the number of supporters for the posted information is calculated using at least one of the number of users and the number of users to whom the public information is distributed as a function. Then, it creates public information including the information indicating the number of approvers after the increase reflecting the calculated number of numbers and the received post information, and sends the created public information to the other user terminals . It is intended for transmission.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, communication is possible with a plurality of user terminals each used by a user via a communication network, and post information transmitted from the user terminal is received and received. In the information transmission promotion device having a community service function for distributing public information including post information to other user terminals and collecting information indicating the presence or absence of approval for the post information from the user terminal of the distribution destination, After the public information is distributed, the number of approvers for the public information is calculated based on the collection result of the information indicating the approval or disapproval from the user terminal of the distribution destination. Then, when the calculated number of approvers exceeds a preset first disclosure threshold, information indicating the approval status for the posted information is created and transmitted to the specific terminal.

  In addition, the third aspect of the present invention is the above-mentioned calculated approval when communication is possible with a public terminal installed in a public area through a communication network in addition to the plurality of user terminals and the specific terminal. The public information is also transmitted to the public terminal when the number of persons exceeds a preset second public threshold.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, based on the attribute information of the calling user and each of the other users, the public information is distributed to users who are presumed to have high similarity with the calling user and easily obtain approval. The For this reason, it becomes possible to alleviate the psychological barrier to approval and increase the number of supporters, thereby encouraging many members to transmit request information.
Further, in addition to users belonging to the first user group having a high degree of similarity, when there are a large number of approvals of users belonging to the first user group, public information is also disclosed to users belonging to the second user group having a low degree of similarity. Is delivered. For this reason, it becomes easy for a user with a low degree of similarity to agree with contribution information, and this can further increase the number of supporters for contribution information.

  According to the first aspect of the first aspect, since the similarity is calculated by adding the weighting coefficient set for each posting category to the attribute information of the calling user and other users, the public information transmission target user As a result, users who are more likely to agree can be selected in accordance with the content of the posted information, and this can further increase the probability of approval.

According to the 2nd mode of the 1st viewpoint, although public information was transmitted, public information is retransmitted with respect to the user who has not yet agreed. For this reason, a further increase in the number of supporters can be expected.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, when public information is distributed to other user terminals, the public including the number of approvers reflecting the number of users or the extra number set according to the number of distribution destination users is reflected. Information is created and sent. For this reason, the number of supporters will be presented to the user more than the actual number, thereby reducing the psychological barrier to support and increasing the number of supporters, and encouraging more members to send out the request information. It becomes possible.

  According to the third aspect of the present invention, when the number of supporters increases and the number exceeds the disclosure threshold, information indicating the support status for the posted information is created. For example, a specific user such as an administrator or a leader Sent to the terminal. Therefore, a specific user such as an administrator or a reader can determine which post has many supporters based on the sent information and can take appropriate countermeasures.

  According to a third aspect, the public information is transmitted to a public terminal installed in a public area when the calculated number of supporters exceeds a preset second public threshold. For this reason, it becomes possible for a user who has not been a subject of posting information to know the contents of the posting information, and thereby further increase the number of supporters.

  That is, according to each aspect of the present invention, an information transmission facilitating apparatus and method that can reduce the psychological barrier of information transmission without requiring various sensing techniques and without constantly sharing and disclosing activities. And programs can be provided.

Several embodiments according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[First Embodiment]
In the first embodiment of the present invention, a member who has a high possibility of agreeing with information representing a request input by an information sender as post information is selected based on the similarity of member attribute information. Then, the posted information is processed into a form that easily agrees with the selected member and is transmitted as public information. As a means for transmitting post information in the present embodiment, an e-mail or the like for transmitting dedicated content to a plurality of members can be considered. However, not only electronic mail but also means for browsing dedicated content for each individual may be used.

(Constitution)
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a community system provided with an information transmission promoting device according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
The system according to the present embodiment includes a processing terminal TM2A having a function as an information transmission promoting device, one sender terminal TM1, and a plurality of (in the figure, 98 cases illustrated) member terminals TM3 to TM100. In this manner, information communication is possible via the network NW. Each of the terminals TM1 to TM100 has a different user. Note that the number of member terminals TM3 to TM100 may be arbitrarily changed. The function of the caller terminal TM1 and the processing terminal TM2A may be performed by the same terminal. Further, it is assumed that attribute information such as age and gender of members, that is, information related to profiles is stored in the terminals TM3 to TM100 possessed by the respective members, and that the system can utilize the information. .

  The caller terminal TM1 includes, for example, a mobile phone, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or a personal computer, and includes an input unit 10 that includes a keyboard or a touch panel. The input unit 10 is used by the caller user to input post information such as requests and opinions.

  The processing terminal TM2 is also composed of, for example, a mobile phone, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or a personal computer. As functions necessary for realizing this embodiment, a request related information storage unit (DB1) 21 and a member information storage unit ( DB 2) 22, member similarity calculation processing unit 23, request transmission member determination processing unit 24, and request numbering processing unit 25. Of these, the member similarity calculation processing unit 23, the request transmission member determination processing unit 24, and the request numbering processing unit 25 are realized by causing a CPU (not shown) to execute a program stored in a program memory (not shown). The

  The request-related information storage unit (DB1) 21 is configured with parameters necessary for controlling the destination of the request information input at the caller terminal TM1 and the request information input at the caller terminal TM1, such as the number of people who agree. Used to store parameters necessary for adding additional information. FIGS. 4A and 4B show an example of data stored in the request related information storage unit (DB1) 21. FIG. 4A shows an initial state where information transmission is not yet performed. The user ID, the input information, the disclosure threshold value TH, and the number of numbers P are all set to “null”. Further, (b) shows an example in which the requested information is stored when the request information is transmitted from a certain sender (for example, sender ID = 2).

  The member information storage unit (DB2) 22 is used to store profile information and profile additional information of each member in association with the ID of each member. The profile information includes information representing member attributes such as presence or absence of disease, in addition to age and sex. FIG. 5A shows an example of the stored profile information. Here, the profile information for 100 people is stored. The profile information is actually stored in the form of discrete parameter data as shown in FIG.

  The profile additional information is information necessary for the operation of the system, such as whether to transmit content to individual members. FIGS. 6A and 6B show examples of stored profile additional information. FIG. 6A shows an initial state in which information transmission has not yet been performed. Similarity, transmission determination, and transmission priority. Both the approval determination and the approval determination are set to “null”. Regarding transmission exclusion, when a terminal to be excluded from transmission targets is selected in advance, “◯” is stored in the transmission exclusion column in association with the ID of the terminal, for example, as shown in FIG. .

  The member similarity calculation processing unit 23 obtains the profile information of the member who inputs the request information at the caller terminal TM1 and the profile information of each other member in the organization stored in the member information storage unit (DB2) 22. Each has a function of comparing and calculating the similarity between the profile information of the caller and the profile information of each other member.

  The request transmission member determination processing unit 24, based on the similarity between the profile information of the caller calculated by the member similarity information calculation processing unit 23 and the profile information of each other member, the caller terminal TM1. Has a function of determining a member as a transmission destination of the content including the request information input in.

  The request numbering processing unit 25 uses the profile information of other members stored in the member information storage unit (DB2) 22 to calculate the number P of numbering related to the request information input by the caller at the caller terminal TM1. . And based on the request information input at the caller terminal TM1 and the calculated number P, it has a function of creating a transmission content for making it easy to obtain the approval of other members in the organization. .

  Similarly to the caller terminal TM1, the member terminals TM3 to TM100 are composed of, for example, a mobile phone, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or a personal computer. The member terminals TM3 to TM100 include an approval determination unit 30 as a function necessary for realizing the present embodiment. ing. The approval determination unit 30 determines whether or not information indicating that the member agrees with the content sent from the processing terminal TM2, and agrees to a member terminal possessed by another member. It has a function for returning information to that effect.

(Operation)
Next, the operation of the system configured as described above will be described. 2 and 3 are flowcharts showing processing procedures and processing contents of the sender terminal TM1, the processing terminal TM2A, and the member terminals TM3 to TM100 constituting the system.

(1) Input of request information at caller terminal TM1 The caller terminal TM1 monitors input of request information at step S101, and if not input, waits for reception at step S102. On the other hand, when the caller inputs request information at the input unit 10, the caller terminal TM1 transmits the input request information to the processing terminal TM2A via the network NW. The input method of the request information can be freely determined such as a free description and a combination with a fixed sentence.

(2) Calculation of member similarity in the processing terminal TM2A When the processing terminal TM2A receives the request information from the caller terminal TM1, the request related information storage unit associates the received request information with the caller ID in step S103. (DB1) Store in 21. At the same time, the fact that the exclusion determination is performed is added to the transmission exclusion determination column in the row corresponding to the sender ID of the member information storage unit (DB2) 22. For example, it is assumed that a caller (ID = 2) inputs request information such as “I want to take a warm bath”. In this case, in the processing terminal TM2, as shown in FIG. 4B, the input "I want to take a warm bath" is stored in the request related information storage unit (DB1) 21 in association with the caller ID = 2. The The member information storage unit (DB2) 22 stores information indicating that the member has a transmission exclusion determination in association with the caller ID = 2.

  When the request information storage process is completed, the processing terminal TM2A next executes a process for determining a control parameter of the desired disclosure range by the member similarity calculation processing unit 23 as follows. That is, first, in step S104, the sender's profile information is read from the member information storage unit (DB2) 22, and member similarity calculation processing is executed.

  In the member similarity calculation process, first, in step S105, the profile information of members in the organization is read from the member information storage unit (DB2) 22 for one person. At this time, it is determined whether or not the member corresponds to a predetermined transmission exclusion member with reference to transmission exclusion determination information stored in advance in the member information storage unit (DB2) 22 in step S106. If it falls under a member, it is excluded from the read target. The transmission exclusion member corresponds to, for example, a sender of information.

When the profile information of the member that is not a member to be excluded from transmission is read, in step S107, the similarity S between the read profile information of the member and the profile information of the sender is calculated. When the profile information includes information elements as shown in FIG. 5B, for example, the similarity S is obtained using these information elements.
S = a × (age score) + b × (sex score) + c × (prevalence score)
+ d × (drug score) + e × (sake score) + f × (tobacco score)
+ g x (exercise score) (1)
Can be calculated by In addition, ag is a weighting coefficient with respect to each information element. This expression (1) is stored in advance in the request related information storage unit (DB1) 21.

  Here, the score of each information element is set to be higher as the difference between the two is smaller. For example, the age score is set to 5 points if the difference is within 5 years, 2 points if it is 10 years old or more, and the gender score is set to 5 points if they are the same, and 0 points if they are different. In addition, information elements that cannot be expressed in binary, such as a medicine score or a liquor score, are expressed by, for example, a five-level evaluation. FIG. 5B shows an example of the score set as described above.

(3) Determination of member to be transmitted based on similarity The processing terminal TM2A subsequently performs a process of determining a member to be a target of transmission by the request transmission member determination processing unit 24 as follows. That is, first, in step S108, the calculated similarity S is compared with a similarity threshold T stored in advance in the request related information storage unit (DB1) 21. As a result of this comparison, if S> T, the member is determined as a transmission target member, and information to that effect is stored in the member information storage unit (DB2) 22 (step S109). On the other hand, if S <= T, the member is determined as a non-transmission member, and information to that effect is stored in the member information storage unit (DB2) 22 (step S110).

The threshold value T of similarity may be stored in advance in the request related information storage unit (DB1) 61 as “T = 60” as shown in FIG. 4A, for example, but FIG. If ID = 2 is the sender's ID as shown in FIG. 6 and ID = 7 in addition to ID = 2 as shown in FIG. 6B, the terminal for which transmission exclusion is determined is excluded. Deriving the similarities S1, S3,..., S6, S8,.
T = (S1 + S3 + ... + S6 + S8 + ... + S100) / 98
It may be calculated as follows.

  As described above, when the calculation processing of the similarity of the profile information and the determination processing of the transmission target member based on the calculated similarity are completed for one member, the processing terminal TM2A, in step S111, the member information storage unit ( It is determined whether or not the processing in steps S104 to S110 has been completed for all members except the transmission excluded members stored in DB2). If there is any member that has not been processed, the processes in steps S104 to S110 are repeated for each unprocessed member.

(4) Creation of Requested Major Opinion and Creation of Transmission Content When the determination of whether all members are transmission target members or non-transmission members is completed by repeating the processing in steps S104 to S110, the processing terminal TM2A Then, under the control of the requested majority opinion processing unit 25, the requested majority opinion processing is executed as follows.

The majority opinion refers to a process that makes it appear that the request information entered by the sender gathers a lot of approval even if the approval has not yet been obtained. The apparent numerical value is called a number P. The number P is determined so that the number of members is Uall and is greater than 1 and does not exceed Uall-1. The number P is, for example, as a function of Uall P = h × F (Uall) (2)
Can be calculated. Here, h is a weighting coefficient. This equation (1) is stored in advance in the demand related information storage unit (DB1) 21.

The requested majority opinion processing unit 25 first obtains Uall from the member information storage unit (DB2) 22 in step S112. Next, in step S113, for example, the equation (2) is
P = floor {0.1 × (Uall-1)}
Calculate as However, P is a natural number.

  For example, when member information as shown in FIG. 5A is stored in the member information storage unit (DB2) 22, since Uall = 100, the number P of multiples is determined as P = 9. For calculating the number P, another formula such as random may be used. Further, the calculation may be performed using the total number Stotal of transmission members stored in the member information storage unit (DB2) 22 instead of Uall.

  When the number P is determined, the request majority opinion processing unit 25 stores the determined number P in the request related information storage unit (DB1) 21 (step S114). Then, based on the number P and the contents of the request information input by the caller, transmission content (public information) to be disclosed to other users is created (step S115). FIG. 7A shows an example of transmission content when the number P is P = 9. When the real name is included in the attribute of the profile information stored in the member information storage unit (DB2) 22, for example, content including the real name of the caller is created as shown in FIG. Also good.

(5) Transmission of transmission content When the creation of the transmission content is completed, the requested majority opinion processing unit 25 reads a list of members to be transmitted from the member information storage unit (DB2) 22 in step S116. Then, the created content is transmitted to the transmission target member described in the read list in step S117.

(effect)
As described above in detail, in the first embodiment, when request information is input from the caller terminal TM1, the profile information of the caller and the member information storage unit (DB2) 22 are stored in the processing terminal TM2. The similarity S with the profile information of each member is calculated, the calculated similarity S is compared with a threshold T, and a member having a similarity S greater than the threshold T is determined as a transmission target member. In addition, as a function of the number of members Uall stored in the member information storage unit (DB2) 22, a number P is determined to make the request information appear to gather a lot of approval. And transmission content including the request information input by the sender. Then, the created transmission content is distributed to the determined transmission target member.

  Therefore, it is possible to distribute the requested information to members who are likely to obtain approval based on profile information, and at that time, by presenting the number of supporters more than the actual number by converting to multiple opinions, The number of supporters can be increased by reducing psychological barriers to support, and this can encourage the transmission of request information to many members.

[Second Embodiment]
For example, in a community such as an evacuation center, leaders often gather requests from information senders and communicate them to the outside. At that time, if a large number of requests are transmitted, it can be transmitted to the reader as an important request item agreed by a large number of people, and the probability that the request will be fulfilled by transmitting this to the outside increases.

  Therefore, in the second embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the control parameter determination processing function (steps S104 to S111) for the desired disclosure range described in the first embodiment, the disclosure threshold determination processing function and the desired disclosure range A control processing function is provided so that a request item agreed by more people is transmitted to the reader.

  In the first embodiment, the number P is calculated as a function of the number Uall of members and the total number Stotal of transmission target members when making a majority opinion. However, with this method, the number of numbers P may become very large, and it may not be a natural majority opinion. Therefore, in the second embodiment, the value of the number of numbers P is kept at a natural value by using the value of the threshold value TH1 determined by the value of the threshold value determination process for calculating the number of numbers P. .

(Constitution)
FIG. 8: is a block diagram which shows the structure of the community system provided with the information transmission promotion apparatus based on 2nd Embodiment of this invention. In the figure, the same parts as those in FIG.
The system according to the present embodiment further includes a specific terminal TM101 used by a specific member, and information communication is possible between the processing terminal TM2B and the specific terminal TM101 via the network NW. The specific terminal TM101 includes an information terminal such as a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or a personal computer, and includes a display unit 40.

  The processing terminal TM2B includes, as functions necessary for realizing this embodiment, a request related information storage unit (DB1) 21, a member information storage unit (DB2) 22, a member similarity calculation processing unit 23, a request transmission member determination process. In addition to the unit 24 and the request numbering processing unit 25, a disclosure threshold value determination processing unit 26 and a request disclosure range change processing unit 27 are further provided. Of these, the member similarity calculation processing unit 23, the request transmission member determination processing unit 24, the request multiplicity processing unit 25, the disclosure threshold value determination processing unit 26, and the request disclosure range change processing unit 27 are programs not shown. This is realized by causing a CPU (not shown) to execute a program stored in the memory.

  The disclosure threshold value determination processing unit 26 sets a disclosure threshold value TH1 for determining when the number of approvals of request information reaches the reader when the request information transmitted from the sender is disclosed to the reader. Has a function to determine.

  The request disclosure range change processing unit 27 transmits the transmission transmitted to the member terminal of the transmission exclusion person other than the sender defined in the member information storage unit (DB2) 22 when the number of agreed members exceeds the disclosure threshold value TH1. It has a function of creating and transmitting a request content based on the request information from the user and the number of people at the time.

(Operation)
Next, the operation of the system configured as described above will be described. FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 are flowcharts showing processing procedures and processing contents by the transmission side terminal TM1, the processing terminal TM2B, and the specific terminal TM101 of the system. In the figure, the same parts as those in FIGS. 2 and 3 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

(1) Determination of Public Threshold First, in step S202, the public threshold determination processing unit 26 reads information indicating whether the member is a transmission target member or a non-transmission member from the member information storage unit (DB2) 22, and reads this information. Based on the information, the total number Stotal of transmission target members is calculated. The information indicating whether the member is a transmission target member or a non-transmission member stored in the member information storage unit (DB2) 22 is previously determined by steps S108 to S110 under the control of the request transmission member determination processing unit 24. It is the determined information.

Subsequently, in step S203, the disclosure threshold value determination processing unit 26 determines the disclosure threshold value TH1 as a function of the total number Stotal of transmission target members in a range larger than 1 and smaller than Stotal. For example,
TH1 = i × G (Stotal) (3)
Calculated by Note that i is a weighting coefficient. This equation (3) is stored in advance in the demand related information storage unit (DB1) 21.

  More specifically, it is calculated as TH1 = floor {0.6 × Stotal}. The disclosure threshold TH1 may be determined by another method such as random setting as long as it is a value equal to or less than the total number Stotal of transmission target members. The disclosure threshold value determination processing unit 26 stores the calculated disclosure threshold value TH1 in the request related information storage unit (DB1) 21 in step S204.

(2) Creation of Requested Multiple Opinion and Creation of Transmission Content The processing terminal TM2B subsequently determines the number P of the number of multiplications in steps S205 to S208 under the control of the request multiple opinion conversion processing unit 25. The number of numbers P is, for example, as a function of the public threshold TH1,
P = j × H (TH1) (4)
Can be calculated. J is a weighting coefficient. This calculation formula (4) is stored in advance in the demand related information storage unit (DB1) 21.

  Specifically, it is calculated as P = floor {0.1 × (TH1)}. For example, when TH1 = 90 is stored in the request related information storage unit (DB1) 21, P = 9. However, P is a natural number. It should be noted that other formulas such as random extraction may be used to calculate the number of numbers P.

  When the number P is determined, the request majority opinion processing unit 25 stores the number P in the request related information storage unit (DB1) 21 (step S206). Then, based on this number P and the contents of the request information input by the caller, a transmission content is created in step S207. FIG. 7A shows the contents of the transmission content when P = 9. When the real name is included in the attribute of the profile information stored in the member information storage unit (DB2) 22, the real name of the caller may be included in the content as shown in FIG. Good. Then, the created transmission content is stored in the request related information storage unit (DB1) 21 (step S208).

(3) Change of request disclosure range Next, the processing terminal TM2B determines the disclosure range of the request information as follows under the control of the request disclosure range change processing unit 27.
That is, first, in step S209, a list of members determined to be transmission targets is read from the member information storage unit (DB2) 22. Then, in step S210, the transmission content created based on the number P of multiples determined by the request majority opinion process and the request information previously received from the caller terminal TM1 is transmitted according to the list. Send to member member terminal. As a result, the transmission content is displayed on the terminal of the transmission target member. FIGS. 7A and 7B show an example, and a software button for a member to press when “agree” is displayed.

  Each member that has received the transmitted content determines whether or not to approve the request based on the content of the request displayed on the terminal and the number of approvers. In the case of approval, for example, the “Agree” button shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B is pressed. The depression of the “agree” button is detected by the approval determination unit 30, and information indicating that the approval is agreed is returned from the member terminal to the processing terminal TM2B.

  In addition to the “agree” button, for example, as shown in FIG. 11, a button for returning a more specific response content such as “I definitely need” or “I want it” is also displayed on the transmitted content. When the member presses these buttons, the information may be returned to the processing terminal TM2B.

  Under the control of the request disclosure range change processing unit 27, the processing terminal TM2B monitors the presence / absence and the number of information indicating approval in step S211, and indicates information indicating approval from the member terminals. Is returned to the member information storage unit (DB2) 22 in association with the ID of the member of the return source (step S213).

  In step S214, the total number of members that have returned the information indicating the approval is compared with the disclosure threshold value TH1 determined and stored by the disclosure threshold value determination unit 26 in steps S202 to S204. As a result of this comparison, if the total number of members who agree is less than or equal to the disclosure threshold TH1, the process returns to step S212 and waits until the number of supporters further increases.

  On the other hand, when the number of supporters increases and the total number exceeds the disclosure threshold value TH1, the request disclosure range change processing unit 27 starts from the sender recorded in the request related information storage unit (DB1) 21 in step S215. For each request content, a request content indicating the number of supporters at that time is created. Then, the created desired content is transmitted to the specific terminal TM101 in step S216.

  As a result, the specific terminal TM101 receives the requested content and displays it on the display unit 40. FIG. 12 shows an example of the displayed desired content. Based on the requested content displayed on the specific terminal TM101, the reader determines which request has many supporters, and transmits the request items having many supporters to a support organization or the like.

(effect)
As described in detail above, in the second embodiment as well, in the same way as in the first embodiment, for members who are estimated that the requester's request information is likely to agree with the sender's opinion, Since many opinions are sent as many members agree, the psychological barriers to approval are reduced, and only the opinions that are easy to agree are delivered. The effect that it becomes easy to take the action to send out the request by oneself can be expected.

  In addition, in the second embodiment, the disclosure threshold value determination processing unit 26 sets a disclosure threshold value TH that is greater than 1 and less than the total number Stotal of transmission target members for each request, and the number of supporters for the request is determined. When the disclosure threshold value TH is exceeded, the transmission content including the requested content and the number of supporters is distributed to the transmission target member. For this reason, since a request with a large number of supporters is selected and distributed to the transmission target member, the psychological barrier to the member's request transmission can be further alleviated. Furthermore, since the disclosure threshold value TH1 determined by the disclosure threshold value determination processing unit 26 is utilized for the calculation of the number P, the number P can be prevented from becoming too large. The value of P can be kept at a natural number.

[Third Embodiment]
In the second embodiment, the member similarity calculation processing unit 23 calculates the similarity using only the request sender and member profile information as parameters. On the other hand, the third embodiment of the present invention calculates the similarity by adding the contents of the request information to the profile information of the request sender and the member, and thereby can determine the requested transmission target member with higher accuracy. It is what I did.

(Configuration and operation)
FIG. 13: is a flowchart which shows the process sequence and process content by the member similarity calculation process part 23 of the information transmission promotion apparatus which concerns on 3rd Embodiment of this invention. The process shown in FIG. 13 is an alternative to step S107 in FIG. In addition, since the configuration, processing procedure, and processing contents of the apparatus are the same as those shown in FIGS. 8, 9, and 10, description thereof is omitted here.

  In the third embodiment, a plurality of types of request information categories (request categories) are defined in advance, and the request categories are stored in advance in the request related information storage unit (DB1) 21. In addition, a weighting coefficient used for similarity calculation for each desired category is preset, and this weighting coefficient is stored in the demand related information storage unit (DB1) 21. FIG. 14 shows an example of the weighting coefficient for each desired category. 85 types of desired categories are defined, and weighting coefficients for age, sex, drinking frequency, and smoking frequency are stored for each of the 85 types of desired categories. Is shown. As the desired category, for example, “bathing”, “meal”, “drink”, “cigarette”, “exercise”, and the like are defined.

  The member similarity calculation processing unit 23 first reads the request information from the request related information storage unit (DB1) 21 in step S301. In step S302, the request category list information is read from the request related information storage unit (DB1) 21. In step S303, the member similarity calculation processing unit 23 calculates the degree of association between the request information and each request category, and determines a request category having a high relationship.

  A plurality of methods can be considered as a method for calculating the relevance of the desired category, but any method may be used. Take an example. For each request category, a word database belonging to the request category is registered in the request related information storage unit (DB1) 21. Then, the request information is analyzed by an existing morphological analysis method or the like, and it is determined whether or not these decomposed words are registered in the category-specific word database. As a result of this determination, when a word corresponding to a word database of a certain category is registered, a score is added to the category. Finally, the category belonging to each category is determined by the score for each category (step S304).

  For example, it is assumed that the request information is “I want to take a bath” and the related calculation target of the request category is only the noun “Bath”. Further, if “bath” is registered only in the word database of the desired category “bathing”, a score is added to the bathing category. Assuming that 5 points are added by this addition processing, the degree of relevance of this request information with the request category is 5 points for bathing and 0 points for other, and here, the “bathing” category is selected.

  When the bathing category is selected, “aa1” in FIG. 14 is substituted for the weighting coefficient a of the age score in the calculation formula (1) of the similarity S described in the first embodiment. Further, “ff1” in FIG. 14 is substituted for the weighting coefficient b of the gender score. In this way, for each selected desired category, the weighting coefficient is substituted into the calculation formula (1) of the similarity S.

  Although FIG. 14 shows an example of only some items, weighting coefficients are prepared for all items used in the profile in accordance with the calculation formula (1) of the similarity S. The degree of similarity between the caller and the member is calculated using the weighting coefficient selected here (step S305).

  In the above example, only one type of request category is selected. However, there may be cases where the request information is related to a plurality of request categories such as “meal” and “bath”. In such a case, the weighting coefficient stored in each request category row as shown in FIG. 14 and the relevance for each request category as shown in FIG. Thus, it can be used as a weighting coefficient in the calculation formula (1) of the similarity S.

For example, when a request that “I want to take a bath and have a delicious meal” is input, and further, for example, as shown in FIG.
(6 × aa1 + 4 × aa2 + 3 × aa3) / (6 + 4 + 3)
May be substituted for the weighting coefficient a in the equation (1).

(effect)
As described above in detail, in the third embodiment, the similarity is calculated by adding the weighting coefficient set for each desired category to the profile information of the request sender and member. Therefore, a member who is the target of transmission of the request information can be selected as a transmission member according to the content of the request information, and further improvement in the probability of receiving the request can be expected.

[Fourth Embodiment]
In the fourth embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of members are grouped on the basis of the similarity of profile information with the caller. First, a group having a high similarity (a member that is considered to easily obtain an approval determination). The content of the request information is transmitted to a group having a low degree of similarity after a certain level of approval is obtained. In addition, the content of the request information is transmitted again to members who have transmitted the content of the request information but have not yet agreed. In addition, when the number of supporters exceeds a certain number, request information is displayed in a public space such as a public display.

(Constitution)
FIG. 16: is a block diagram which shows the structure of the community system containing the information transmission promotion apparatus based on 4th Embodiment of this invention. In the figure, the same parts as those in FIGS. 1 and 8 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.
The system of the present embodiment further includes a public terminal TM102, and the content transmitted from the processing terminal TM2B can be transmitted to the public terminal TM102 via the network NW and displayed. The public terminal TM102 includes a public display installed in a lobby, a meeting place, or a street of a building in order to present information to an unspecified number of people, for example. The public terminal TM102 receives content transmitted from the processing terminal TM2C and displays a display unit. 41.

(Operation)
Next, the operation of the system according to the present embodiment will be described focusing on the operation of the processing terminal TM2C. 17 to 19 are flowcharts showing the processing procedure and processing contents. In FIG. 17, the same parts as those in FIG. 2 or FIG.

  In the present embodiment, members are divided into six groups, which are composed of five groups that transmit content and groups that do not transmit content, according to the degree of similarity. The number of groups is not limited to six groups, and can be set arbitrarily. There are five types of similarity thresholds T1 to T5, disclosure thresholds TH1 to TH5, and number of numbers P1 to P5 set according to the caller, as shown in FIGS. 20A and 20B, for example. The information is stored in advance in the related information storage unit (DB1) 21. Of these, the similarity thresholds T1 to T5 are stored alone in the request related information storage unit (DB1) 21 as shown in FIG.

(1) Grouping of members The processing terminal TM2C executes a process of determining a transmission target member as follows under the control of the requested transmission member determination processing unit 24.
That is, it is first determined to which group the member whose profile information similarity is calculated belongs. Next, as shown in FIG. 17, in step S401, the similarity calculated by the member similarity calculation processing unit 23 is compared with a threshold value T5 stored in the request related information storage unit (DB1) 21. If the similarity is equal to or lower than T5, the member is determined to be a non-transmission member in step S402 and stored in the member information storage unit (DB2) 22. On the other hand, when the similarity is larger than T5, the similarity is compared with a threshold T4 in step S403. The threshold value T4 is set to a value larger than the threshold value T5.

  As a result of this comparison, if the similarity is equal to or less than T4, the member is determined as the fifth transmission member in step S404 and stored in the member information storage unit (DB2) 22. On the other hand, if the similarity is greater than the threshold T4, the similarity is sequentially compared with thresholds T3 and T2 set to be greater than the threshold T4. The fourth and third transmission members are determined and stored in the member information storage unit (DB2) 22 respectively. If the similarity is further greater than the threshold T2, the similarity is compared with the threshold T1 having the largest value in step S404. If the degree of similarity is equal to or less than the threshold value T1 as a result of the comparison, the member is determined as a secondary transmission member in step S405 and recorded in the member information storage unit (DB2) 22. On the other hand, if the similarity is greater than the threshold value T1, the member is determined as the primary transmission member in step S406 and recorded in the member information storage unit (DB2) 22.

  For example, the similarity thresholds T1 to T5 are set to T1 = 60, T2 = 50, T3 = 40, T4 = 25, and T5 = 10 as shown in FIG. 20 (c). It is assumed that the similarity of the member to the sender is calculated as 65. In this case, since similarity = 65 is larger than any of threshold values T5 to T1, the member is determined to be a primary transmission member and stored. For example, as shown in FIG. 6B, the member of ID = 100 is stored as a transmission target member, and “1” is stored in the transmission priority column. From these pieces of information, it can be determined that the member with ID = 100 belongs to the group of primary transmission members.

(2) Determination of public threshold When the request transmission member determination unit 23 determines in step S111 that the grouping processing according to the similarity of all members except the sender and the specific member has been completed, Under the control of the disclosure threshold value determination unit 26, the terminal TM2C executes the disclosure threshold value determination process as follows.

  That is, the disclosure threshold value determination unit 26 first extracts the first transmission member (user) from the member information storage unit (DB2) 22 in step S407 and calculates the number Stotal1, and then sets the disclosure threshold value TH1 to 1 in step S408. It is determined within a range that is larger and smaller than the number of primary transmission members Stotal1. Then, the disclosure threshold TH1 corresponding to the determined primary transmission member is stored in the demand related information storage unit (DB1) 21 in step S409.

Next, in step S410, the second transmission member (user) is extracted from the member information storage unit (DB2) 22 and the number Stotal2 is calculated. Then, in step S411, the disclosure threshold value TH2 is greater than TH1 and The range is smaller than the number of primary transmission members Stotal2, and the disclosure threshold TH2 corresponding to the determined secondary transmission member is stored in the demand related information storage unit (DB1) 21 in step S412.
Similarly, public thresholds TH3, TH4, and TH5 are determined for the third transmission member, the fourth transmission member, and the fifth transmission member, respectively.

  Finally, in step S413, the disclosure threshold value determination unit 26 determines the overall disclosure threshold value THall within a range larger than the disclosure threshold value TH5 corresponding to the fifth transmission member and smaller than the total number of members. THall is stored in the demand related information storage unit (DB1) 21 in step S414. The overall disclosure threshold THall is a threshold for the number of people who agree when the disclosure range is the entire community. This may be determined randomly, for example, within a range greater than TH5 and less than the total number of transmission users.

  Note that the processing from step S407 to S412 can be performed in the same manner as in the second embodiment, and the public threshold TH5 when transmitting to the fifth transmission user is the total ΣStotal of users transmitted at that time. As a function of (k), it can be determined by the same method as in equation (3).

(3) Creation of requested majority opinion and creation of transmission content When the disclosure threshold values TH1, TH2, TH3, TH4, TH5, and THall are determined as described above, the request is made under the control of the requested majority opinion processing unit 25. The process of converting information into multiple opinions and generating transmission contents is executed as follows.

That is, first, the number of numbers P1 to P5 is determined. P (k) is determined in steps S416, S420,..., S424 as shown in FIG.
P (k) = m × H (TH (k)) (5)
Can be calculated. k is an integer of 1 to 5, and m is a weighting coefficient. This equation (5) is stored in advance in the request related information storage unit (DB1) 21.

The above formula (5) is, for example, P (k) = floor {0.68 × (TH (k))}
And However, P (k) is a natural number.
When this equation is used, P5 = 20 when TH5 = 30 is stored in the demand related information storage unit (DB1) 21, for example. In addition, you may use other formulas, such as a random setting, for calculation of the number of numbers P (k).
The numbers P1 to P5 calculated as described above are stored in the demand related information storage unit (DB1) 21 through steps S417, S421,..., S425, respectively.

  Next, in steps S418, S422,..., S426, the request majority opinion processing unit 25 stores the request information stored in the request related information storage unit (DB1) 21 and the calculated number P (k). From the first transmission content to the fifth transmission content, respectively. Then, the created transmission content is stored in the demand related information storage unit (DB1) 21 through steps S419, S423,..., S427. FIGS. 21A and 21B show display examples of transmission contents for the primary and secondary transmission members, respectively, of the created transmission contents.

  When creating the transmission content for the second transmission member, for example, for the members who do not agree with the first transmission member, the content of retransmission trust is created as shown in FIG. You may make it memorize | store in the demand related information storage part (DB1) 21. FIG.

(4) Change of request disclosure range As described above, for each of the first to fifth transmission groups, when the requested majority opinion processing and the creation of transmission content according to the number P (k) are completed. The processing terminal TM2C, under the control of the request disclosure range change processing unit 27, performs transmission processing of transmission content for each transmission group to the member terminals TM3 to TM100, and requested content and request information to the specific terminal TM101 and public terminal TM102. The transmission process is executed as follows.

  That is, first, in step S428, a list of members belonging to the first transmission group among members determined to be transmission targets is read from the member information storage unit (DB2) 22. In step S429, the transmission content for the first transmission member created by the request multiple opinion process is transmitted to the member terminal of the first transmission member according to the list. As a result, the transmission content is displayed on the terminal of the primary transmission member. FIG. 21A shows an example of the display result. As shown in the figure, in the transmitted content, a software button for the member to press when “agree” is displayed.

  The primary transmission member that has received the transmission content determines whether to approve the request based on the content of the request displayed on the terminal and the number of approvers. In the case of approval, for example, the “agree” button shown in FIG. The pressing of the “agree” button is detected by the approval determination unit 30, and information indicating that the approval is agreed is returned from the member terminal to the processing terminal TM2C.

  Under the control of the request disclosure range change processing unit 27, the processing terminal TM2C monitors whether or not information indicating approval from the primary transmission member is returned and the number thereof in step S430. When the information indicating approval is returned, the information indicating approval is stored in the member information storage unit (DB2) 22 in association with the ID of the member of the return source (step S432).

  In step S433, the total number of members that have returned the information indicating the approval is compared with the disclosure threshold value TH1 determined and stored by the disclosure threshold determination processing unit 26 in steps S407 to S409. As a result of this comparison, if the total number of members who agree among the first transmission members is less than or equal to the disclosure threshold TH1, the process proceeds to step S431 and waits until the number of approvers further increases.

  On the other hand, when the number of approvers of the first transmission member increases and the total number exceeds the disclosure threshold value TH1, the requested disclosure range change processing unit 27 subsequently determines that it is a transmission target from the member information storage unit (DB2) 22. A list of members belonging to the secondary transmission group is read out among the registered members. Then, the transmission content for the second transmission member previously created by the request majority opinion process is transmitted to the member terminal of the second transmission member according to the above list. As a result, the transmission content is displayed on the terminal of the secondary transmission member. FIG. 21B shows an example of the display result. As shown in the figure, the “agree” button is also displayed in the transmitted content in this case.

  At this time, members that have not yet been approved for profile additional information in the member information storage unit (DB2) 22 are extracted from the primary transmission group, and the extracted primary transmission members are the second ones. The next transmission content may be retransmitted. At this time, the content to be retransmitted to the unsent primary transmission member may be different from the content to be transmitted to the second transmission member. For example, the content of the content to be retransmitted to unapproved members among the first sending members is added with a sentence “15 people have increased since the first announcement!” As shown in FIG. And

  It should be noted that the re-transmission to the member whose transmission content has already been transmitted and for which the approval determination has not been made may not be simultaneously with the timing at which the transmission content is transmitted to the untransmitted member. Further, the number of times of transmission may be plural, and the content may be transmitted content or separately prepared content.

  The secondary transmission member that has received the transmission content determines whether to approve the request based on the content of the request displayed on the terminal and the number of approvers. In the case of approval, for example, the “agree” button shown in FIG. 21B is pressed. The pressing of the “agree” button is detected by the approval determination unit 30, and information indicating that the approval is agreed is returned from the member terminal to the processing terminal TM2C.

  The processing terminal TM2C monitors the presence / absence of the information indicating the approval from the secondary transmission member and the number thereof under the control of the request disclosure range change processing unit 27. Is returned to the member information storage unit (DB2) 22 in association with the ID of the member of the return source.

  Then, the total number of members who have returned the information indicating the approval is compared with the disclosure threshold TH2 determined and stored by the disclosure threshold determination processing unit 26 in steps S410 to S412. As a result of this comparison, if the total number of members who agree among the second transmission members is less than or equal to the disclosure threshold TH2, the process waits until the number of approvers further increases.

  In addition, when the content for the second transmission member is transmitted to the members who have not yet agreed in the first transmission group, the reply of the approval information from the first transmission member is accepted, The result is stored in the member information storage unit (DB2) 22 in association with the ID of the member of the return source.

  On the other hand, when the number of supporters of the second transmission member increases and the total number exceeds the disclosure threshold value TH2, the requested disclosure range change processing unit 27 performs the same process as the processing for the first and second transmission members. The transmission content for the third transmission member is transmitted to the third transmission member. Then, when the number of approvals from the third transmission member is calculated and the number exceeds the public threshold TH3, the transmission content is subsequently transmitted to the fourth transmission member, and the fourth transmission member It is determined whether or not the number of approvals exceeds the disclosure threshold value TH4.

  As a result of the above determination, it is assumed that the number of approvals from the fourth transmission member exceeds the disclosure threshold value TH4. Then, the requested disclosure range change processing unit 27 finally reads a list of members belonging to the fifth transmission group among the members determined to be transmission targets from the member information storage unit (DB2) 22 in step S434. Then, in step S435, the transmission content for the fifth transmission member previously created by the request multiple opinion process is transmitted to the member terminal of the fifth transmission member in accordance with the above list.

  When transmitting the transmission contents to the third, fourth, and fifth transmission members, the approval information is still provided in the second, third, and fourth transmission members. The contents for the third, fourth, and fifth transmission members may be retransmitted to the members who have not replied. At that time, the content to be retransmitted is made different from the content that is transmitted for the first time to the third, fourth, and fifth transmission members so that the member is informed that it is a retransmission. It may be.

  Under the control of the request disclosure range change processing unit 27, the processing terminal TM2C monitors whether or not information indicating approval from the fifth transmission member is returned and the number thereof in step S436. When information indicating approval is returned from the transmission member terminal, the information indicating approval is stored in the member information storage unit (DB2) 22 in association with the ID of the member of the return source (step S438).

  Then, the total number of members who have returned the information indicating the approval is compared with the disclosure threshold TH5 determined and stored by the disclosure threshold determination processing unit 26 in steps S413 to S415. As a result of this comparison, if the total number of members who agree among the fifth transmission members is less than or equal to the disclosure threshold value TH5, the process waits in step S437 until the number of supporters further increases.

  When the number of supporters of the fifth transmission member increases and the total number exceeds the disclosure threshold value TH5, the request disclosure range change processing unit 27 is recorded in the request related information storage unit (DB1) 21 in step S440. For each request content from the sender, a request content indicating the number of people at the time is created. Then, the created desired content is transmitted to the specific terminal TM101 in step S441.

  As a result, the specific terminal TM101 receives the requested content and displays it on the display unit 40. FIG. 12 shows an example of the display result. Based on the requested content displayed on the specific terminal TM101, the reader can determine which request has many supporters, and can transmit the requested items with many supporters to a support organization or the like.

  Next, the request disclosure range change processing unit 27 monitors the reply of approval information from the member terminals that have already been transmitted in step S442 even after transmitting the requested content to the specific terminal TH101. In step S444, the information is stored in the member information storage unit (DB2) 22. Then, the total value of the number of supporters is calculated, and the total value of the number of supporters is compared with the disclosure threshold value THall in step S445. As a result of this comparison, if the total value of the number of supporters is less than or equal to the disclosure threshold THall, the process waits for an increase in the number of supporters in step S443. On the other hand, if the total value of the number of supporters exceeds the public threshold THall, in step S446, request information for the public terminal is created, and the created demand information is transmitted to the public terminal TM102.

  When the public terminal TM102 receives the request information from the processing terminal TM2C, the public terminal TM102 displays the request information on the display unit 41. FIG. 22 shows an example of the display result. Therefore, by looking at the request information displayed on the public terminal TM102, the member confirms the content of the request information even when the terminal is not owned or when the terminal is turned off. It becomes possible. In addition, the members belonging to the non-transmission group can know the contents of the request information, so that the approval information can be transmitted.

(effect)
As described above in detail, according to the fourth embodiment, since request information is distributed not only to members with high similarity but also to members with low similarity, members with low similarity can easily agree with the request information. Thus, the number of supporters for the request information can be further increased. In addition, by retransmitting the content of the request information to members who do not agree, it is possible to expect a further increase in the number of people who agree. Further, when the number of people who agree exceeds a certain number THall, the request information is displayed on the public terminal TM102. For this reason, members who have not been targeted for transmission of the request information can also know the request information, thereby further increasing the number of supporters.

[Other Embodiments]
In the fourth embodiment, the transmission content is retransmitted only once to unapproved members, but may be repeatedly transmitted a plurality of times. In this way, it becomes possible to further increase the opportunities for unapproved members to approve, and further promote the transmission of request information.

  Moreover, although the case where the request in the evacuation shelter at the time of disaster was collected was described as an example in the above embodiment, the present invention is used for collecting request information in a community other than at the time of the disaster, such as a condominium management union or a company labor union. Can be applied. Further, in each of the above embodiments, the case where the information transmission promotion process according to the present invention is executed in the specific processing terminal TM2 has been described as an example.
