  FIG. 1 shows a configuration of an information processing system according to an embodiment. The information processing system 100 includes a user terminal 10a, a user terminal 10b, a user terminal 10c, which are collectively referred to as a user terminal 10, and a photo sharing server 12. These devices are connected via a communication network 14 including a LAN, a WAN, and the Internet, and send and receive frames and packets to each other.

  In the information processing system 100, as an example of an electronic content sharing service, a photo sharing service among a plurality of users is realized. The photo sharing server 12 is an information processing apparatus that provides a photo sharing service. The photo sharing server 12 functions as a web server that publishes on the Internet a photo sharing site for sharing (that is, posting and viewing) photos among a plurality of users.

  The user terminal 10 is an information device operated by a user who uses a photo sharing service. For example, the first user operates the user terminal 10a, the second user operates the user terminal 10b, and the third user operates the user terminal 10c to access the photo sharing site. The user terminal 10 is equipped with a web browser, and displays web pages such as a posting screen and a photo browsing screen of the photo sharing site. The user terminal 10 may be a stationary information device (for example, a PC) or a portable information device (for example, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or a mobile phone).

Here, the photo sharing service of the embodiment will be described.
The photo sharing site of the embodiment provides a game in which a plurality of users are office workers belonging to a fictitious organization, specifically, a virtual company organization. In this company organization, a plurality of ranks indicating the position of the user are determined hierarchically in a manner similar to the actual company organization. Specifically, in order from the above positions, the president, director, general manager, section manager, general manager, chief, regular employee, and new employee are defined. Each user contributes a virtual point in the game (hereinafter, simply referred to as “point”. The initial value is 0) by posting a photograph and accomplishing the mission, and seeks advancement (promotion).

  The user becomes a new employee at the initial point of user registration. When positive evaluations (hereinafter referred to as “positive evaluations”) are collected from other users for the user's posted photos, points are added and promoted (new employee → regular employee → supervisor → ... ) Is promoted. On the other hand, when negative evaluation (hereinafter referred to as “negative evaluation”) from other users gathers for the user's posted photos, points are subtracted and promotion becomes difficult. If the amount of subtraction is large, it will be demoted (department manager-> section manager-> section manager-> ...). Hereinafter, a user who participates in a mission and posts a photo is also referred to as a “posting user”, and a user who browses the photo and performs a positive evaluation or negative evaluation is also referred to as a “viewing user”.

  A mission defines the theme and motif (or “theme”) of a photo that a user should post to a photo sharing site. Examples of missions include various types such as “recommended night view” and “beautiful sunset”. In the embodiment, a user having an authority to determine a mission (for example, a general manager or a section manager) determines the content of the mission. Of course, a manager of this service (a service operator, a system manager, etc.) may determine the contents of the mission separately from the user.

  FIG. 2 shows a photo browsing screen of an embodiment provided by a photo sharing site. The photo browsing screen is a screen showing a posting situation of a plurality of photos by a plurality of users in units of missions, and can be said to be a screen showing a mission timeline. The photo browsing screen 110 has a mission information area 112 and a posting information area 114. The mission information area 112 is an area for displaying the contents of the mission. In FIG. 2, it is a mission to post a picture suitable for “delicious meat”, and the mission creator is the user 1 of the section manager. The posted information area 114 is an area for displaying photos posted by users who have participated in the mission. The posting information area 114 includes one or more individual posting areas 116 corresponding to individual user postings. In FIG. 2, comments and photos 118 posted by the user 2 are displayed in one individual posting area 116, and comments and photos 118 posted by the user 3 are displayed in another individual posting area 116.

  On the photo browsing screen 110, an affirmative button 120 and a negative button 122 are arranged in association with each individual posting area 116 (that is, each posted photo). The affirmation button 120 is a button object that performs a selection (click / press) operation when the viewer gives a positive evaluation to the posted photo. The negative button 122 is a button object that is selected and operated when the viewer makes a negative evaluation on the posted photo. The affirmative evaluation number indicator 124 indicates the cumulative number of times that the affirmative button 120 has been selected by a plurality of viewing users, in other words, the number of viewing users who have positively evaluated the posted photo. The negative evaluation number indicator 126 indicates the cumulative number of times the negative button 122 has been selected by a plurality of browsing users, in other words, the number of browsing users who have negatively evaluated the posted photo.

  In the photo sharing service of the embodiment, the browsing user determines the evaluation based on the degree of matching between the mission and the posted photo. Specifically, when the viewing user thinks that the posted photo is suitable for the mission, in other words, the posting user has achieved the mission, the viewing user inputs a positive evaluation. On the other hand, if the viewing user thinks that the posted photo is incompatible with the mission, in other words, that the posting user has not completed the mission, the viewing user inputs a negative evaluation. It should be noted that the viewer may input a negative evaluation for a photograph that is uncomfortable to watch or that is considered to be contrary to public order and morals.

  As described above, in the photo sharing service according to the embodiment, a plurality of users belong to a fictitious company organization, and positions are assigned to create a sense of opposition among the users and to compete with each other for promotion, to the photo posting site. Promote photos posting. In addition, for promotion, it is necessary to collect positive evaluations from other users, and in order to do so, it is necessary to post photos that match the mission. Therefore, posting a photo that does not fit the mission, a photo that is offensive to public order and morals, or a photo that makes other users uncomfortable has a detrimental result for the posting user. As a result, a virtuous cycle of suppressing the posting of photos against the purpose of this service, allowing users to post photos that match various missions, competing for promotion between users, and further promoting the posting of photos. Realize.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of the photo sharing server 12 of FIG. The photo sharing server 12 includes a communication processing unit 20, a data holding unit 22, and a control unit 24.

For example, when information is pushed to the user's smartphone, individual identification information of the smartphone may be stored. Further, other information used for communication with the user terminal 10 such as an IP address may be stored.

  The point field stores the value of the point currently held by the user, and the position field stores a value indicating the position currently assigned to the user. The attention flag stores a flag value (initial value is off) indicating whether it is assumed that the user is likely to post an inappropriate photo (on) or not (off). The deletion count field stores the number of times that the administrator has not permitted the viewing of posted photos by other users. In other words, the number of posted photos that are prohibited from being displayed on the photo browsing screen by the administrator is stored. The

  In the former point field and former title field, when a penalty is given to the user by a punishment process described later, a point before subtraction and a position value before demotion are stored. The return condition field stores a point before subtraction and a return condition for returning to the post-demotion post. In the embodiment, if 10 or more negative evaluations are not collected in any of 20 photo submissions (20 participating missions) after the punishment process, the user's reflection is recognized and the return condition is satisfied. Specifically, the remaining period (initial value 20) of the penalty is stored in the return condition field. Then, when 10 or more negative evaluations are not collected in one photo submission (one participating mission), one is subtracted. The punishment flag field stores a flag value (initial value is off) indicating whether punishment processing has been executed for the user (on) or not (off).

In the comment field, a comment sentence posted by the user together with the photograph (in the example of FIG. 2, the text “Let ’s look like it”) is stored. The ID of the posting user is stored in the user ID field. The mission ID field stores the ID of the mission in which the user participated, in other words, the mission of the posting destination (posting target) of the photo.

  In the positive evaluation field, IDs of users who have made positive evaluations on the posted photos are sequentially stored, and in the negative evaluation field, IDs of users who have made negative evaluations on the posted photos are sequentially stored. The deletion flag field stores a flag value (initial value is OFF) indicating whether to display (OFF) or hide (ON) on the browsing screen.

  Returning to FIG. 3, the control unit 24 includes a mission registration unit 40, a posting screen providing unit 42, a posting receiving unit 44, a browsing screen providing unit 46, an evaluation receiving unit 48, a feedback unit 50, and a user specifying unit. 52, a content extracting unit 54, a confirmation screen providing unit 56, a confirmation result receiving unit 57, a user rank determining unit 58, and a user rank notifying unit 60.

  When the mission registration unit 40 receives a mission registration screen provision request from the user terminal 10, the mission registration unit 40 transmits the data of the mission registration screen to the user terminal 10 for display. The mission registration screen is provided with a mission content input field, and the mission registration unit 40 receives from the user terminal 10 a mission registration request including the mission content entered on the mission registration screen. When the mission registration unit 40 receives the mission registration request, the mission registration unit 40 issues a new mission ID, and stores a new record in the mission holding unit 32 in which the mission ID, the mission content, and the user ID of the registration source are associated.

  The posting screen providing unit 42 transmits to the user terminal 10 data of a participating mission selection screen for allowing the user to select a mission to participate (post a photo) from among the missions registered in the mission holding unit 32. To display. The contents of a plurality of registered missions may be displayed in a list on the participating mission selection screen. Upon receiving the mission ID selected by the user on the participating mission selection screen from the user terminal 10, the posting screen providing unit 42 records the ID of the user in the selected mission record (participating user ID field) in the mission holding unit 32. To do.

  The posting screen providing unit 42 transmits to the user terminal 10 and displays the data of the posting screen for allowing the user to post a photo for the mission selected by the user on the participating mission selection screen. The posting screen providing unit 42 acquires information indicating the content of the selected mission by the user from the mission holding unit 32, and sets the content of the selected mission (for example, “delicious meat” in FIG. 2) by setting the data in the posting screen. Present it to the user and encourage them to post photos that match their content.

  The posting acceptance unit 44 receives from the user terminal 10 image data of a photograph designated by the user on the posting screen, comment data input by the user, and data indicating a mission to be posted. The posting acceptance unit 44 pays out a new photo ID, and stores in the content holding unit 34 a new record in which the photo ID, the photo data, the comment, the posting user ID, and the posting target mission ID are associated with each other.

  The browsing screen providing unit 46 transmits to the user terminal 10 and displays data of a browsing mission selection screen for allowing the user to select a mission for browsing the posted photos from the missions registered in the mission holding unit 32. . The browsing mission selection screen may display a list of the contents of a plurality of registered missions. When the browsing screen providing unit 46 receives from the user terminal 10 the ID of the mission selected by the user on the browsing mission selection screen, the browsing screen providing unit 46 is a list screen of posted photos for the mission, and a photo browsing screen that is also an evaluation input screen for each posted photo Data of (photo browsing screen 110 in FIG. 2) is set.

  Specifically, the browsing screen providing unit 46 specifies a photo associated with the ID of the selected mission in the content holding unit 34 as a posted photo for the selected mission. Then, together with the content of the selected mission, data of a photo browsing screen in which one or more photos posted by one or more users for the selected mission are arranged is set. However, among the photos associated with the ID of the selected mission in the content holding unit 34, for the photo with the deletion flag turned on, the setting on the photo posting screen is suppressed. In other words, the photo with the deletion flag turned on is hidden on the photo posting screen and restricted so that it cannot be viewed by the user. The browsing screen providing unit 46 transmits the data of the photo browsing screen to the user terminal 10 for display.

  Further, the browsing screen providing unit 46 sets the data of the photo browsing screen 110 so as to display an affirmative button 120, a negative button 122, a positive evaluation number indicator 124, and a negative evaluation number indicator 126 in association with each photo 118 on the photo browsing screen 110. Set. The positive evaluation number indicator 124 is set with the positive evaluation number associated with the photo 118 in the content holding unit 34, and the negative evaluation number indicator 126 is set with the negative evaluation number associated with the photo 118 in the content holding unit 34. Set.

  Further, the browsing screen providing unit 46 refers to the participating user ID field of the mission holding unit 32 and identifies the mission in which the user to whom the photo browsing screen 110 is provided participates. When the user to whom the photo browsing screen 110 is provided participates in a mission to be displayed on the photo browsing screen 110, the browsing screen providing unit 46 takes a photo to invalidate the input to the affirmative button 120 and the negative button 122. Data of the browsing screen 110 is set. For example, the disabled attribute may be set for the button object. As a modification, the affirmative button 120 and the negative button 122 may be hidden. As described above, in the photo sharing service according to the embodiment, in the mission in which the browsing user himself participates, it is restricted that each posted photo cannot be evaluated. This makes it easy to maintain the fairness of the evaluation for posted photos.

  When the browsing user inputs an affirmative evaluation or a negative evaluation for a certain posted photo on the photo browsing screen 110, the user terminal 10 includes the ID of the posted photo and data indicating the fact that the positive evaluation or the negative evaluation is made, Evaluation information associated with the browsing user ID is transmitted to the photo sharing server 12. The evaluation receiving unit 48 receives the evaluation information transmitted from the user terminal 10. The evaluation receiving unit 48 identifies the record of the content holding unit 34 associated with the photo ID indicated by the evaluation information, stores the ID of the viewing user in the positive evaluation field in the case of a positive evaluation, and in the case of a negative evaluation Stores the ID of the viewing user in the negative evaluation field. As a modification, evaluation numbers may be stored in the positive evaluation field and the negative evaluation field of the content holding unit 34, and the evaluation reception unit 48 increments the evaluation number when receiving a positive evaluation or a negative evaluation. May be.

  The feedback unit 50 monitors the transition of the number of user IDs stored in the positive evaluation field and the number of user IDs stored in the negative evaluation field of each record held in the content holding unit 34. When the feedback unit 50 detects that the number of user IDs stored in the affirmative evaluation field, that is, the total number of positive evaluations from other users with respect to the posted photo is a predetermined number or more (10 or more in the embodiment). The ID of the posting user of the posted photo is specified. Then, the value of the point field is increased in the record of the user information holding unit 30 specified by the user ID.

  The feedback unit 50 detects that the number of user IDs stored in the negative evaluation field, that is, the total number of negative evaluations from other users for the posted photo is equal to or greater than a predetermined number (10 or more in the embodiment). Even in this case, the ID of the posting user of the posted photo is specified. Then, the value of the point field is decreased in the record of the user information holding unit 30 specified by the user ID. At the same time, the feedback unit 50 sets the deletion flag to ON for the record of the photo in the content holding unit 34. This restricts subsequent browsing of the photo. As a modified example, a record of photographs for which negative evaluation is collected may be deleted from the content holding unit 34.

  In addition, when the number of user IDs stored in the negative evaluation field is equal to or greater than a predetermined number (10 or more in the embodiment), the feedback unit 50 refers to the user information holding unit 30 to obtain the terminal information of the posting user. get. Then, using the terminal information, data on a screen (hereinafter, also referred to as “warning screen”) indicating that negative evaluation has been collected for the posted photo and that the points have been reduced is used as the user terminal 10. Send to and display. For example, a message indicating that negative evaluation has been collected on the posted photo is pushed to the user's smartphone, and when the user selects the message on the smartphone, the feedback unit 50 may display a warning screen on the user's smartphone.

  The user rank determination unit 58 determines the position of each user in the fictitious company organization according to the value of each user's point held in the user information holding unit 30. Specifically, the larger the user's point, the higher the position of the company organization is determined to be given to the user. For example, if the user's point is greater than or equal to the supervisor's point threshold and less than the section manager's point threshold, the user rank determining unit 58 determines the user's job title to be the supervisor and stores the data indicating the supervisor as the user information holding unit 30. Store in the post field.

  The user rank notifying unit 60 is the user's title determined by the user rank determining unit 58, and transmits the information indicating the user's title stored in the title field of the user information holding unit 30 to the user terminal 10 for display. . For example, status screen data indicating the current position of the user and the amount of points necessary for promotion to the most recent position may be transmitted to the user terminal 10 for display.

  Based on the positive evaluation received by the evaluation receiving unit 48, the user specifying unit 52 posts a photo that does not match the purpose of the service, such as a photo that does not conform to the mission or a photo that makes the viewing user uncomfortable. A user who is expected to have a relatively high possibility is detected as a user who needs attention. Specifically, when the total number of negative evaluations for a certain posted photo is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, a user who inputs a positive evaluation for the same posted photo is estimated as a user who needs attention.

  For example, when 10 or more negative evaluations are collected from other users for a posted photo that has been positively evaluated by a certain user, the user who has made a positive evaluation is identified as a user who needs attention. In the embodiment, the above threshold value is 10 which is the same as the deletion (non-display) threshold value of the posted photo. However, the threshold value may be appropriately determined based on the knowledge of the service manager, an experiment using this system, or the like. The user specifying unit 52 sets the caution flag to ON for the record of the user information holding unit 30 specified by the ID of the cautionary user recorded in the positive evaluation field.

  The user specifying unit 52 records, in a predetermined storage area, the number of times that 10 or more negative evaluations have been collected from other users (posted photos) for a posted photo that has been positively evaluated by a certain user. May be. And when the frequency | count becomes more than a predetermined threshold value (for example, 5 times), you may set a user's attention flag to ON. This makes it easy to avoid identifying a user who submits a photograph that originally matches the purpose of the service as a user who needs attention based on an erroneous input of an affirmative evaluation not intended by the user.

  The content extraction unit 54 periodically selects a predetermined number of posted photos to be confirmed by the administrator of the service from among posted photos held in the content holding unit 34 and whose deletion flag is off. Extract. For example, the content extracting unit 54 may extract the IDs of a prescribed number of photos (for example, 200) that are supposed to be visually confirmed by an administrator per day at a predetermined time every day.

  The content extraction unit 54 identifies a user who needs attention when the attention flag is on, and a post by the user who requires attention is posted by a user whose attention flag is off (referred to herein as a “normal user”). Priority is given to confirmation by the administrator over photos. Specifically, the posted photos associated with the user IDs requiring attention in the content holding unit 34 are always extracted as confirmation targets. On the other hand, as for the posted photos by the normal user, the posted photos of the above (the specified number of photos−the number of posted photos of the user who needs attention) are selected at random, and are checked by the administrator.

  For example, it is assumed that 500 posted photos are stored in the content holding unit 34, 40 of which are posted photos that require attention. In this case, 40 posted photos by the user who needs attention may be confirmed with a 100% probability, and 160 may be selected at random from the remaining 460 posted photos in total. In this example, a post photograph of a normal user is a confirmation target with a probability of about 35%.

  The period during which the attention flag is on may be limited. For example, the user specifying unit 52 records the date and time when a certain user's attention flag is turned on, and after changing it to on, the user does not specify the user again as a user requiring attention in the evaluation of other posted photos for one month. When elapses, it may be automatically turned off. Thereby, it can suppress that the contribution photograph made into the confirmation object by an administrator will be limited to those of some users.

  The confirmation screen providing unit 56 transmits the confirmation screen data in which a plurality of posted photos extracted by the content extracting unit 54 are arranged to an administrator's terminal (not shown in FIG. 1) and displays the data. Specifically, the confirmation screen providing unit 56 acquires a plurality of pieces of photo data specified by a plurality of photo IDs extracted by the content extracting unit 54 from the content holding unit 34, and sets the data as confirmation screen data. The confirmation screen providing unit 56 also provides an input field (hereinafter referred to as “browsing restricted photo designation field”) for allowing the administrator to designate an ID of a photo that is not permitted to be browsed by the user in the confirmation screen. Of course, a confirmation screen may be displayed on the local screen (monitor) of the photo sharing server 12 to allow the administrator to confirm.

  The confirmation result accepting unit 57 receives the photo ID that the administrator has not permitted to browse by the user and the photo ID that the administrator has entered in the browse restricted photo designation field on the confirmation screen from the administrator terminal. The feedback unit 50 identifies the record of the content holding unit 34 in which the photo ID received by the confirmation result receiving unit 57 is set, and sets the deletion flag to ON. Thereby, the browsing by subsequent users can be restricted about the photograph which the manager refused browsing among the posted photographs extracted by the content extraction unit 54.

  The feedback unit 50 specifies the ID of the posting user from the record of the content holding unit 34 in which the photo ID received by the confirmation result receiving unit 57 is set. Then, the value of the deleted number field is incremented for the posted user record in the user information holding unit 30. The feedback unit 50 monitors the deleted number field of each record in the user information holding unit 30, and when the deleted number by the administrator for a certain user is equal to or larger than a predetermined value (for example, five or more), the user is demoted. It is detected as a user subject to punishment for giving a penalty.

  The feedback unit 50 executes a punishment process including a relegation of a job title for a punishment target user. Specifically, the user's points are reduced by a predetermined amount necessary to reduce the position of the user subject to punishment, in other words, the user's points are forcibly reduced and the position is forcibly reduced. In the embodiment, the feedback unit 50 saves the previous points and titles in the former point field and former title field for the punishment target user record in the user information holding unit 30. At the same time, the position is changed to “new employee” indicating the lowest position, and the point is changed to “−10” lower than that of the new user. The punishment flag is set on.

  The feedback unit 50 executes satisfaction condition determination processing for a punishment target user whose punishment flag is on. Specifically, when the negative evaluation is less than 10 during a predetermined evaluation reception period for a newly posted photograph by the user subject to punishment after the job relegation, the feedback unit 50 includes the user information holding unit 30. The value of the return condition field is decremented from 20 for the record of the user subject to punishment. When the feedback unit 50 detects that the value of the return condition field has become 0, the feedback unit 50 executes a point and post return process for the user who is subject to punishment. Specifically, the values of the former point field and former title field are written back to the point field and title field, the number of deleted sheets is cleared to 0, and the punishment flag is turned off.

  The feedback unit 50 returns the value of the return condition field to 20 when the negative evaluation reaches 10 or more even in one posted photo while the demotion flag is on. Therefore, users who are subject to punishment need to be careful not to collect negative evaluations from other users in succession in 20 participating missions, and must carefully determine whether the photos to be submitted are suitable for the mission. is there. In this way, users who are not allowed to view any of the multiple posted photos are given a more severe penalty that their points will be defeated and the position will be demoted to the lowest rank when negative evaluations are collected. Encourage reflection. However, if the user subject to punishment reflects on the situation and continues to post photos in accordance with the mission, the user may be encouraged to post more photos by reverting points and titles in the form that allows the user to convert. it can.

The operation of the photo sharing server 12 having the above configuration will be described.
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the operation of the photo sharing server 12. The figure mainly shows operations related to the user interface. Although not shown in the figure, an authorized user registers a mission that defines the theme of a photo to be posted in the photo sharing site. When the user selects a mission to participate in the participating mission selection web page (Y of S10), the posting screen providing unit 42 is a web page that presents the contents of the selected mission, and a photo posting web page that accepts designation of a posted photo. It is displayed on the user terminal 10 (S12). When the user performs a photo posting operation on the photo posting web page and the post receiving unit 44 receives a photo transmitted from the user terminal 10 (Y in S14), the post receiving unit 44 uses the photo as a posting target mission. Corresponding recording is performed (S16). If no photo submission is accepted (N in S14), S16 is skipped. If no selection of a participating mission is accepted from the user (N in S10), S12 to S16 are skipped.

  When the user selects a mission for browsing the posted photo on the browsing mission selection web page (Y in S18), the browsing screen providing unit 46 turns off the deletion flag among the photos corresponding to the selected mission stored in the content holding unit 34. The photographic image is acquired (S20). Then, the user terminal 10 displays on the user terminal 10 a photo browsing web page which is a web page in which one or more acquired photo images are arranged together with the explanatory text of the selected mission, and receives an evaluation input to each photo image (S22). When the evaluation input to the posted photo by the viewing user is made on the photo browsing web page and the evaluation receiving unit 48 receives the evaluation information transmitted from the user terminal 10 (Y in S24), the evaluation receiving unit 48 receives the evaluation information. Is recorded in association with the content to be evaluated (S26). If the evaluation information is not accepted (N in S24), S26 is skipped, and if the selection of the viewing mission is not accepted from the user (N in S18), S20 to S26 are skipped.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the operation of the photo sharing server 12. This figure mainly shows operations related to feedback to the posting user. When the number of positive evaluations for a user's posted photo is 10 or more (Y in S30), the feedback unit 50 promotes the user's promotion in a fictitious company organization by adding the user's points ( S32). If the positive evaluation number is less than 10 (N in S30), S32 is skipped.

  When the negative evaluation number for a posted photograph of a user becomes 10 or more (Y in S34), the feedback unit 50 makes it difficult to promote the user in a fictitious company organization by deducting the user's points. (S36). Further, the feedback unit 50 sets the posted photo deletion flag to ON (S38), and notifies the posting user's terminal that negative evaluations have been collected (S40). The user specifying unit 52 determines whether or not a positive evaluation is made on a posted photo that has collected 10 or more negative evaluations. If an affirmative evaluation exists (Y in S42), the user who performed the affirmative evaluation is specified as a user who needs attention to be monitored by the administrator (S44). If there is no positive evaluation (N in S42), S44 is skipped. If the negative evaluation number is less than 10 (N in S34), S36 to S44 are skipped. Note that the processing from S30 to S44 may be repeatedly executed in units of individual posted photos.

  The feedback unit 50 refers to the record of the user information holding unit 30 to determine whether there is a user whose punishment flag is on, that is, a user who is subject to punishment. When there is a user subject to punishment (Y of S46), the feedback unit 50 executes a return determination process for the user subject to punishment (S48). Specifically, the negative evaluation number for the posted photo by the user subject to punishment is specified, and if the negative evaluation number is less than 10, the remaining period (initial value 20) as the return condition is decremented. When the remaining period becomes 0, the user's points and job titles are returned to the state before the punishment process. If there is no user subject to punishment (N in S46), S48 is skipped. The user rank determination unit 58 determines the position of each user based on the points held by each of the plurality of users, and the user rank notification unit 60 notifies each user's position to the terminal of each user (S50). Notification may be made only when the position changes.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the operation of the photo sharing server 12. The figure mainly shows operations related to the administrator interface. When the content extraction unit 54 detects that the predetermined photo extraction timing has been reached (Y in S60), the content extraction unit 54 preferentially selects the posted photo of the user who needs attention from among the total posted photos as a confirmation target by the administrator. (S62). Then, one image is randomly selected from the remaining normal user photos (S64), and S64 is repeated until the specified number for visual confirmation by the administrator is reached (N in S66). When the prescribed number and the posted photos are extracted (Y in S66), the confirmation screen providing unit 56 causes the administrator terminal to display a browseability confirmation web page in which the extracted posted photos are arranged (S68). If the photo extraction timing is not reached (N in S60), S62 to S68 are skipped.

  Typically, the administrator designates, as browsing disapproval, a photo that is against public order and morals or a photo that makes the user uncomfortable from the photos posted on the browsing permission confirmation web page. When a photo that is not permitted to be browsed is input on the browseability confirmation web page (Y in S70), the confirmation result accepting unit 57 accepts the ID of the photo that is designated as not permitted to browse from the administrator terminal. The feedback unit 50 decrements the user's points for the posting user of the photo designated not permitted to browse and increments the number of deleted images (S72). In addition, the deletion flag of the photo designated not to permit browsing is set to ON (S74).

  The feedback unit 50 executes a punishment process for the user (S78) when the number of deletions by the administrator for a certain user's posted photograph exceeds a predetermined reference value (Y in S76). Specifically, the user's point is forcibly changed to a value lower than that of the initial user regardless of the previous value. Also, the user's title is forcibly changed to the lowest position regardless of the previous value. However, the user's punishment flag is set to ON and is subject to return determination processing. If the punishment flag is off and there is no user whose number of deletions by the administrator is greater than or equal to the reference value (N in S76), S78 is skipped. If there is no designation of a photograph not permitted to be browsed (N in S70), S72 to S78 are skipped.

  According to the photo sharing server 12 of the embodiment, a plurality of users belong to a fictitious company organization, and a photo sharing service for competing for posting photos according to a predetermined theme for advancement in the company organization However, it is difficult for the posting user to make a career advancement in the company organization with respect to the posted photo that has been evaluated to be incompatible with the theme. This will allow users to learn that posting photos that do not match the direction of the service will be detrimental to them, and stop posting photos that do not fit the theme or make the viewer uncomfortable. Can be urged. In addition, a warning message is automatically notified to the posting user based on negative evaluation, and the photos collected negative evaluation are automatically hidden on the browsing screen, thereby reducing the burden on the administrator and operating costs of the site. In addition, it becomes easy to realize quick service improvement.

  Also, according to the photo sharing server 12, a user who is likely to post a photo that does not match the purpose of the service at a future time point is detected as a user who needs attention in advance, and the posted photo of the user who needs attention is given priority by the administrator. Confirmed. As a result, there is a limit to the number of posted photos that can be visually confirmed by the administrator, but it is possible to efficiently find photos that do not match the purpose of the service or to make viewers uncomfortable and prohibit viewing It is possible to support prompt action.

  The present invention has been described based on the embodiments. This embodiment is an exemplification, and it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made to combinations of the respective constituent elements and processing processes, and such modifications are also within the scope of the present invention. is there. A modification is shown below.

A first modification will be described.
Although not mentioned in the above embodiment, a registration function of a user who refuses to view a posted photo over a plurality of missions (herein, also referred to as “NG user”) may be realized. Specifically, the user information holding unit 30 is provided with an NG user field. The browsing screen providing unit 46 further sets an NG user registration button in association with each posted photo on the photo browsing screen. The browsing user selects and operates the NG user registration button when he / she wants to see the posted photo and does not want to see the posted user's photo in other missions. The evaluation receiving unit 48 receives the ID of the photo for which the NG user registration button has been selected on the photo browsing screen from the user terminal 10, acquires the ID of the posting user (that is, the NG user) of the photo from the content holding unit 34, Store in the browsing user's NG user field.

  The browsing screen providing unit 46 determines whether or not there is a posted photo by the NG user even when providing a photo browsing screen of any mission to the browsing user. Then, data of a photo browsing screen for posting a posted photo by a user other than the NG user is set by excluding the posted photo by the NG user. In other words, on the photo browsing screen provided to the browsing user, the posted photo by the NG user is not displayed. Thereby, said browsing user can avoid browsing the posting photograph of a NG user over the photography browsing screen of a some mission.

  As a further modification, the browsing screen providing unit 46 excludes the posted photograph of the NG user in principle from the photograph browsing screen provided to the browsing user, but the positive evaluation number for the posted photograph of the NG user is a predetermined value (for example, 10) In the above case, a photo browsing screen including a post photograph of the NG user may be set. In this case, the browsing screen providing unit 46 further sets an NG user cancel button in association with the posted photograph of the NG user. The viewing user selects and operates the NG user release button when he / she thinks that the NG user's photograph can be seen in other missions by looking at the posted photograph of the NG user. The evaluation reception unit 48 receives from the user terminal 10 the ID of the photo for which the NG user release button has been selected on the photo browsing screen, and deletes the ID of the posting user of the photo (ie, NG user) from the browsing user's NG user field. . Thereafter, the posted photos of the users released from the NG user are posted on the photo browsing screen provided to the browsing user.

A second modification will be described.
Although not mentioned in the above embodiment, a user who has made an affirmative evaluation on a photograph that the administrator has not permitted to browse may be identified as a user who needs attention. Specifically, the user specifying unit 52 reads from the record of the content holding unit 34 in which the photo ID received by the confirmation result receiving unit 57, that is, the ID of the photo that the administrator does not permit the user to view is set. You may specify ID of the user who performed positive evaluation to the photograph. Then, the identified user may be set as a user requiring attention, and the user's attention flag may be set to ON. As a result, it is possible to improve the completeness of extraction of the user requiring attention.

A third modification will be described.
In the above embodiment, a photograph is given as an example of electronic content shared among a plurality of users. However, the above technical idea can also be applied to services that share electronic content other than photographs, such as video, music, and various applications. It is.

  It should also be understood by those skilled in the art that the functions to be fulfilled by the constituent elements recited in the claims are realized by the individual constituent elements shown in the embodiments and the modified examples or by their linkage.
