  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a configuration of a matching support system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, a matching support system 400 is a system that provides a matching support service, and includes at least a server (matching support device) 100 and a plurality of communication terminals 200A, 200A1, 200B, and 200B1. Here, the “matching support service” is a service that provides an opportunity for users to meet each other and an opportunity for users to get to know each other. The matching support device 100 is connected to the communication terminals 200A, 200A1, 200B, and 200B1 via the network 300 so that they can communicate with each other. Although two matching support apparatuses 100 are shown in FIG. 1, they may be realized as a larger number of server groups or may be realized independently.

  Hereinafter, the user of the communication terminal 200A is referred to as “user A”, the user of the communication terminal 200A1 as “user A1”, the user of the communication terminal 200B as “user B”, and the user of the communication terminal 200B1 as “user B1”. In addition, the relationship between the users A and the users A1 and the like with the same alphabetical characters will be described later. The user A is the “first user”, the user A1 is the “first friend user”, and the user B is the “second user”. "User" and user B1 correspond to "second friend user". Further, these communication terminals 200A, 200A1, 200B, and 200B1 are collectively referred to as a communication terminal 200 when it is not particularly necessary to distinguish them. Although the communication terminal 200 is a smartphone in FIG. 1, any communication terminal that can be connected to the network 300, such as a tablet or a wearable terminal (glasses type, wristwatch type, headset type, etc.) may be used. . In FIG. 1, four communication terminals 200A, 200A1, 200B, and 200B1 (that is, four users) are shown, but it goes without saying that there may be more than this. That is, there may be a plurality of users who use the service. Further, the user may use this service via a plurality of terminals using a single identification information. Note that application software (hereinafter, also referred to as “application”) provided by the service side and using the service is installed in the communication terminal 200.

  Here, a matching support system 400 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining an overview of services of the matching support system 400. In FIG. 3, users connected by a straight line indicate a “friend” relationship in this service, that is, they are associated with each other. For example, the user A and the user A1 have a “friend” relationship. Therefore, user A1 is user A's “friend user A1”. Similarly, the user B and the user B1 have a “friend” relationship, and the user B1 is the user B's “friend user B1”. According to the present invention, the user (the user A and the user B) can get to know each other by performing matching based on the introduction of others by the friends of the user A and the user B (that is, the friend user A1 and the friend user B1). Can be provided. This will be specifically described below.

  According to the present invention, writing information about the user is transmitted from the user's friend user, and the feature value of the user is generated based on the writing information. And a compatibility degree is calculated based on each feature value among a plurality of users who use a service. Among users whose compatibility degree satisfies a predetermined condition, introduction information of each or one of the users is provided. Here, the “written information regarding the user” is information regarding the user in a state that can be acquired by the matching support device 100, for example, information written in a social networking service (SNS). It may be. The SNS may be a platform provided by the matching support service, or may be other than that. Moreover, the information written in the form which a friend user answers to the question provided on an application by a service may be sufficient. Write information about the user is information indicating the user's action history and preferences, such as the place (region, store, facility, etc.) the user visited, the user's hobbies, memories with the user, etc. , Information such as video and audio. Furthermore, the writing information regarding the user may be information indicating an objective impression of the friend user regarding the outer surface and inner surface of the user, such as the user's appearance and personality. The “feature value” is a value obtained by quantifying the user's personality and personality based on the above-described writing information about the user. The “degree of compatibility” indicates the degree of goodness between users, is a numerical value indicating the success probability of matching, and is calculated from the correlation between user feature values based on the feature values between users. The Details of the feature value and the degree of compatibility will be described later.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the friend user A1 writes information on the user A associated with him as a friend on, for example, the SNS. Similarly, the friend user B1 writes information about the user B (1). The matching support apparatus 100 generates feature values of the users A and B based on the written information, and calculates the compatibility between the users A and B (2). When the compatibility degree satisfies a predetermined condition, the matching support apparatus 100 provides each user with introduction information related to each other (recommendation) (3). Note that introduction information may be transmitted only to one of the users. The introduction information is set so that it can be viewed on each user's communication terminal. Thereafter, in the example of FIG. 3, the user B who browsed the introduction information of the user A desires to become acquainted with the user A, and transmits a request to the user A (4). When the request is approved by the user A (5), the user A and the user B are set as matching users (6), and the function provided by the application between the user A and the user B Messages can be exchanged using one talk function.

  As described above, according to the present invention, since information related to a user is set by the user of the user, more objective and reliable information is provided. And the compatibility degree between users is calculated based on the objective information, and users having a high compatibility degree can be extracted. In addition, provision of user information by a friend user can be easily performed in the sense of writing in SNS. Therefore, the friend user's hand is not bothered to introduce the user. The above is the outline of the present invention.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the server (matching support apparatus) 100 and the communication terminal 200A according to an embodiment of the present invention. The communication terminal will be described by taking the communication terminal 200A as an example, but the same applies to the other communication terminals 200A1, 200B, and 200B1.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the matching support apparatus 100 includes a control unit 110, a communication I / F (interface) unit 120, and a storage unit 130.

  The storage unit 130 is typically realized by various recording media such as an HDD (Hard Disc Drive), an SSD (Solid State Drive), and a flash memory, and various programs necessary for the operation of the matching support apparatus 100 and It has a function of storing (storing) data. The storage unit 130 includes at least a user information database (DB) 131. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of user information. As shown in FIG. 4, in the user information database 131, a user ID (IDentifier) is stored in association with a user name, gender, residence, date of birth, service registration date, friends, feature value information, and behavior index information. Has been. These pieces of information are included in registration information transmitted from the communication terminal 200 corresponding to each user when the user registers with the service. A display name (nickname) in the service may be further stored. In addition, basic user information (for example, hobby, school of origin, work place, etc.) may be stored. Moreover, when a user uses a some communication terminal, the identification information of a some communication terminal may be further linked | related and memorize | stored in user ID. Note that the user information DB is not all shown in FIG. 4, and all the information shown in FIG. 4 is not essential.

  Here, a process in which the user associates other users as “friends” will be described. For example, when the user B transmits registration information from the communication terminal 200B and the new registration to the service ends, a user list that is a friend candidate of the guest B among the registered users of the service is displayed on the display screen of the communication terminal 200B. May be. The friend candidate may be determined by the determination unit 117 of the matching support device 100 based on the residence of the guest B, the school of origin, or the like. Alternatively, after registering for the service, friend candidates may be extracted based on the search conditions specified by the guest B (for example, specifying by name, hobby, school of origin, office, etc.). Alternatively, an invitation is received from a “friend” user who has already been registered in the service (for example, by being notified of the URL or code that transits to the installation screen of the service application, or by entering a predetermined invitation code at the time of registration) It is also possible to register for a service. In this case, it is preferable that the “friend” user is automatically associated as “friend” at the time of registration.

  Here, the basic information is information used for explanation of the user, and includes information set by the user himself and information set by the user of the user. As an example, FIG. 8A shows a screen example of the communication terminal 200B on which basic information of the user (here, user A) is displayed. As shown in the figure, an area 14 indicating the relationship between the user A's profile image, user name, age, residence, and user A's friends, and an area 15 for basic information are displayed on the screen. In the example shown in the figure, the area 14 indicates that the user A is a friend of the user A1, and the friend of the user A1 includes the user B1. In the area 15, as basic information set by the guest A, occupation, hobbies, words, tags set by the user A's friend user, and an introduction are displayed. In addition, in the screen example of FIG. 8A, an icon 16 indicating an interest index, a check button 17 for transitioning to a browsing screen for further introduction information of the user A, and a matching with the user A are desired. A request transmission button 18 and the like for transmitting a request are displayed (details will be described later).

  In addition, when a user becomes a friend (associates) with a certain other user, the user browses the basic information not only for the basic information of the other user, but also for a user within a range included in the friend of the other user's friend. Set to be possible. If the basic information can be browsed, the request can be transmitted from the request transmission button 18 as described above, which has an advantage that the range of matching partners is expanded.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the description of the matching support apparatus 100 will be continued. The control unit 110 is a processor having a function of controlling each unit of the matching support device 100. The control unit 110 includes at least a transmission / reception unit 111, an acquisition unit 112, a generation unit 113, a calculation unit 114, an output unit 115, an association unit 116, and a determination unit 117.

  The transmission / reception unit 111 controls transmission / reception (exchange) of various types of information between the matching support device 100 and an external device such as the communication terminal 200 via the communication I / F unit 120. For example, the transmission / reception unit 111 receives service registration information, request information for other users, write information about users, message information for other users, and the like from the communication terminal 200. Further, the transmission / reception unit 111 transmits request information received from a certain communication terminal 200 to the request destination communication terminal 200, or transmits message information received from a certain communication terminal 200 to the transmission destination communication terminal 200. To do.

  The acquisition part 112 acquires the writing information regarding a user transmitted from the communication terminal 200 matched with the user's friend user. In the example of FIGS. 1 and 3, the acquisition unit 112 acquires, for example, the writing information related to the user A written by the friend user A1 of the user A to the SNS via the communication terminal 200A1.

  Here, the write information regarding the user will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5A is a diagram showing an example of writing information related to the user A by the friend user A1 of the user A, and FIG. 5B is a diagram showing an example of writing information of the user B by the friend user B1 of the user B. FIG. In the example of FIG. 5A, an image 11 including an image of the user A by a friend user A1, a tag such as “Girls Talk for a long time!”, “#Coffee”, “#Omotesando” is displayed on a display screen 10 of a certain SNS. Informational text is displayed. The acquisition unit 112 analyzes the image 11 using a known image analysis process, and determines that the user A is included in the image 11. That is, the acquisition unit 112 can determine that the image 11 and text information included in the display screen 10 are writing information regarding the user A. Furthermore, the acquisition unit 112 can acquire the characteristics of the user A such as a place where the user A goes (Omotesando in the example in the figure) and a preference (to drink coffee) from the text displayed on the display screen 10. In the example of FIG. 5B, an image 21 relating to basketball and texts such as “game from morning”, “#user B”, “# beer drink”, “# muscle training” are displayed on the browsing screen 20. ing. In this case, the acquisition unit 112 can determine that the image 21 and the text information included in the browsing screen 20 are the writing information related to the user B based on the tag information 22 of “#user B”. And the acquisition part 112 can acquire the characteristics of the user B, such as sports (basketball) performed by the user B, life rhythm (sports from morning), and preferences (drinking beer). Needless to say, the acquisition unit 112 acquires the information of the user A from the writing information by another friend user different from the friend user A1. Moreover, the acquisition part 112 may acquire the writing by a user from other SNS with which cooperation with a matching support service is permitted by the user, a blog, or the like.

  The generation unit 113 generates a feature value of the user based on the writing information regarding the user. The user characteristic value is a value obtained by quantifying the user's personality and personality as described above, and can be generated using a known personality analysis technique. For example, using typological methods (such as Enneagram, MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator), Kretschmer's typology, etc.) in psychology to analyze personality, and characterization methods (Big Five, Cattel's personality theory, etc.) May be.

  FIG. 6A shows a table of user feature values stored in the storage unit 130. FIG. 6A shows feature value information of the user A. For example, openness, diligence, extroversion, cooperation, and mental stability can be used as the feature value as an element that represents the innerness of the user according to the big five theory. Moreover, the outdoor degree and the indoor degree can be used as an element representing the user's preference. According to an embodiment of the present invention, keywords are classified and stored in advance in feature value elements, and feature values are generated based on the number of times, timing, etc. of the keywords that appear in the writing information about the user. For example, the “openness” of the user indicates the strength of the user's curiosity, intellectual experience, etc., so the keywords “classroom”, “museum”, “concert” are classified. Also good. In addition, keywords such as “camping” and “travel” may be classified into the “outdoor degree” of the user, or the above-mentioned “training sessions” may be classified and classified. Note that the feature value elements are not limited to those shown in FIG. The feature value element may be added or updated through learning by a learning unit (not shown) provided in the control unit 110. For example, a keyword that frequently appears in written information regarding a user with a high feature value of the element “cooperation” may be classified into the element “cooperation”.

  Note that the writing information related to the user A may be acquired in the form of an answer to a predetermined questionnaire or question. An example of this case will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is an example of the application screen 12 displayed on the communication terminal 200A1 of the friend user A1. On the application screen 12, a question list 13 about the user A is displayed. The question can be an item that is easily reflected in the personality analysis technique described above. Thereby, a feature value can be generated more easily.

  The calculation unit 114 calculates the degree of compatibility between users based on the feature values of the users. The calculation of the degree of compatibility may be performed based on the correlation from the distribution of feature values, the degree of coincidence of feature values for each element, and the like. FIG. 6B shows a calculation example of the degree of compatibility using a radar chart. The figure is a radar chart with elements showing the inner surface of FIG. 6A, for example. The radar chart (thick line) 31 corresponds to the user A, and the radar chart (dashed line) 32 corresponds to the user B. At this time, the calculation unit 114 may calculate the degree of compatibility from the degree of coincidence of the shapes of the two radar charts. The number of chart elements is not limited to five, and may be more or less. Moreover, another combination may be used as an element. Furthermore, the calculation of the degree of compatibility is not limited to this. For example, the matching degree of feature values may be determined for each element. A known fortune-telling algorithm or the like may be used.

  The calculation unit 114 further extracts users whose compatibility degree satisfies a predetermined condition. “The degree of compatibility satisfies a predetermined condition” may be that the degree of compatibility is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold. Alternatively, the degree of compatibility may be less than a predetermined threshold depending on the calculation of the degree of compatibility. In the former case, users with similar personalities can be extracted. In the latter case, for example, it is possible to extract a user who has a personality opposite to that of the user. That is, the “predetermined condition” can change according to the personality (feature value), preference, sex, age, etc. of the user.

  The output unit 115 outputs display information for displaying introduction information of a user whose compatibility degree satisfies a predetermined condition to a communication terminal corresponding to the partner user. For example, when the degree of compatibility between the user A and the user B meets a predetermined condition, display information for displaying the introduction information of the user A is output to the communication terminal 200B of the user B. The introduction information of the user A is the information described above with reference to FIG.

  The associating unit 116 associates users who satisfy a predetermined condition as matching users. The predetermined condition here is that a request transmitted from a user to another user is approved by the other user. The request may include a case where an approval response is transmitted from the communication terminal 200A corresponding to the user A in response to a message information transmission request to the user A transmitted from the communication terminal 200B corresponding to the user B.

  FIG. 8A is a display screen of the communication terminal 200B of the user B. In FIG. 8A, when the request transmission button 18 is selected by the user B, a matching request (message information transmission request) with the user A is transmitted from the communication terminal 200B to the matching support apparatus 100. The transmission / reception unit 111 transmits the request to the communication terminal 200A. When a request is received at communication terminal 200A, information indicating that the request has been received is displayed on the display screen of communication terminal 200A, for example, in a pop-up display. Information indicating that the request has been received may be output by voice. Then, in the communication terminal 200A of the user A, the basic information of the user B who transmitted the request is set to be viewable. When the user A selects to approve the request, an approval response is transmitted to the matching support device 100. It should be noted that a button for rejecting the request may be displayed on the communication terminal 200A of the user A together with information indicating that the request has been received. The icon indicating the interest index in FIG. 8A can be selected when another user indicates that he / she is interested in user A.

  The associating unit 116 associates the user A and the user B as matching establishment users when the approval response indicating that the request is approved is received from the communication terminal 200A by the transmitting / receiving unit 111. The information is stored in the user information database 131 of the storage unit 130.

  Here, when matching is established (when association is performed by the associating unit 116), the output unit 115 of the matching support apparatus 100 displays display information for displaying on the communication terminal 200B or the communication terminal 200A that the matching is established. Output. For example, this may be realized by a pop-up display as shown in FIG. Note that the information indicating that the matching has been established is not limited to pop-up display as shown in the figure, and may be transmitted by e-mail or output by voice. When matching is established, messages can be exchanged between matching users on a predetermined talk screen. Note that message exchange between the user A and the user B is not limited to text, but may be voice such as voice chat. Note that the online / offline state of the matching partner may be indicated to the user. Furthermore, regarding the message in the talk, the other party's read / unread may be displayed on the talk screen.

  Next, the communication terminal 200 will be described. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the communication terminal 200 includes a control unit 210, a communication I / F unit 220, an input reception unit 230, a display unit 240, a voice I / F unit 250, and a storage unit 260.

  The communication I / F unit 220 is an interface such as an antenna (not shown). That is, the communication I / F unit 220 has a function of communicating data with an external device such as the matching support device 100 and another communication terminal 200 via the network 300.

  The storage unit 260 has a function of storing various programs and various data necessary for the operation of the communication terminal 200. For example, the storage unit 260 includes information such as an application program necessary for receiving the service according to the present embodiment. The storage unit 260 is typically realized by various recording media such as an HDD, an SSD, and a flash memory.

  The input receiving unit 230 receives an input from the user and transmits information related to the input to the control unit 210. In the communication terminal 200, the input receiving unit 230 is realized by a touch panel or the like, detects a contact with an indicator such as a user's finger or stylus and the contact position, and transmits the coordinates of the contact position to the information processing unit 212.

  The control unit 210 is a processor having a function of controlling each unit of the communication terminal 200. The control unit 210 includes a transmission / reception unit 211, an information processing unit 212, a display processing unit 213, and a determination unit 214. The transmission / reception unit 211 has a function of controlling information to be transmitted from the communication I / F unit 220 to the matching support device 100 in accordance with information input from the input reception unit 230. The information processing unit 212 processes various types of information. For example, the information processing unit 212 transmits information received from the matching support apparatus 100 by the transmission / reception unit 211 via the communication I / F unit 220 to the display processing unit 213. The display processing unit 213 has a function of converting display data transmitted from the information processing unit 212 into pixel information and writing the pixel information in the frame buffer of the display unit 240.

  The display unit 240 is a monitor having a function of displaying an image in accordance with display data written in the frame buffer by the display processing unit 213, and is typically realized by a liquid crystal display. The display unit 240 displays various display screens based on output information received from the matching support apparatus 100 via the network 300. The audio I / F unit 250 is an interface of a speaker or an earphone (not shown). Note that various types of information may be output via the audio I / F unit 250 or a predetermined notification sound may be output. In addition, input of information from the user may be instructed by voice.

  Next, a matching support method by the above-described matching support device 100 will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 9 is a flowchart of a matching support method by the matching support apparatus 100. First, the storage unit 130 stores information related to a user who uses the service. That is, information on one or more first friend users associated with the first user and information on one or more second friend users associated with the second user are stored (step S11). Specifically, information used for registration among the user information described with reference to FIG. 4 is stored in the storage unit 130. And the acquisition part 112 is 1st writing information regarding the 1st user transmitted from communication terminal 200A1 corresponding to a 1st friend user, 2nd regarding the 2nd user transmitted from communication terminal 200B1 corresponding to a 2nd friend user. Write information is acquired (step S12). The write information regarding the user is as described above.

  Next, the generation unit 113 generates a first user feature value based on the first writing information and a second user feature value based on the second writing information (step S13). Then, the calculation unit 114 calculates the degree of compatibility between the first user and the second user based on the first user feature value and the second user feature value (step S14). When the compatibility degree satisfies the predetermined condition, the output unit 115 outputs second user display information for displaying the introduction information of the second user to the communication terminal corresponding to the first user (step S15). . Note that the first user display information for displaying the introduction information of the first user may be output to the communication terminal corresponding to the second user.

  Next, the matching support processing by the matching support device 100, the communication terminal 200A of the user A, the communication terminal 200A1 of the user A1, the communication terminal B of the user B, and the communication terminal B1 of the user B1 will be described. FIG. 10 is a sequence diagram showing matching support processing in an embodiment of the present invention.

  The communication terminals 200A, 200A1, 200B, and 200B1 perform service registration processing (that is, transmission of user information to the matching support apparatus 100) (steps T11, T12, T13, and T14). User information about each user is stored in the storage unit 130 of the matching support apparatus 100 (step T15). Needless to say, the registration process for each user is not limited to the timing shown in the figure, and is performed at a different timing for each user. Then, the communication terminal 200A1 transmits write information regarding the user A to the matching support device 100 (step T16). In addition, the communication terminal 200B1 transmits write information regarding the user B to the matching support device 100 (step T17). The generation unit 113 of the matching support device 100 generates a feature value for each user (step T18). The calculation unit 114 of the matching support device 100 calculates the degree of compatibility between the user A and the user B (step T19). When the degree of compatibility satisfies a predetermined condition (Yes in step T20), the output unit 115 of the matching support apparatus 100 outputs the introduction information of the user A to the communication terminal 200B1 of the user B (step T21). If it is not determined in step T20 that the degree of compatibility satisfies the predetermined condition (No in step T20), the process ends. Note that although four users have been described in the sequence diagram, feature value generation and compatibility calculation are performed for users using the matching support service. In addition, the above-described processing is not performed only at the time of registration with the user's service, but may be performed every predetermined period. Moreover, it may be performed when the feature value is updated based on the writing information about the user. Furthermore, the above-described processing may be performed in response to a request from a user who desires to present a user whose degree of compatibility satisfies a predetermined condition.

  As described above, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the degree of compatibility between users is calculated based on objective and reliable information by a friend of the user, and information about other users is provided to the user. . Therefore, it is possible to provide a more reliable encounter opportunity. Moreover, since a user's friend transmits the information regarding a user by contribution of the photograph and text to SNS, there also exists an advantage that there is no effort.

  Next, an aspect in which the user characteristic value is generated according to the degree of association with the friend user who transmitted the writing information will be described with reference to FIG. The storage unit 130 of the matching support apparatus 100 stores the degree of association between the user and the friend user as well as information on the friend user associated with the user as a friend. Here, the “relevance” is an index indicating the depth of the relationship between the user and the friend user. For example, the time when the user and the friend user became acquainted, the acquaintance period, a common friend It may be a numerical value, a rank, or the like set from items such as the number, the number of message exchanges, the last message transmission date, and the number of writes. In the example of FIG. 11, the user A has a friend relationship with the friend user A1 and the friend user A2B2. Here, the degree of association between the friend user A1 and the user A is set from the item group 41, and the degree of association between the friend user A2B2 is set from the item group 42. The degree of association may be set by setting a rank for each item described above and adding the values of the ranked ranks. For example, in the item “friend period”, “less than 1 year” is ranked as rank D, and “1 year or more and less than 3 years” is ranked as rank C or the like. Then, if the friend period is rank D, “1 point” is set, and if the friend period is rank C, “2 points” is set.

  According to one embodiment of the present invention, a user feature value generated based on user writing information transmitted by a friend user can be varied according to the degree of association with the friend user. In the example of FIG. 11, it is shown that weighting is performed when generating user feature values according to the degree of association between the user A and the friend user A1, and between the user A and the friend user A2B2. For example, as described above, the generation unit 113 generates the feature value of the user A based on the writing information of the friend user A1, but at this time, the feature value is changed using the weighting coefficient “3.0”. Can do. Further, when generating the feature value of the user A based on the writing information by the friend user A2B2, the generation unit 113 changes the feature value using the weighting coefficient “4.0”. The deeper the relationship between the user and the friend user, the deeper the friend user is considered to understand the personality of the friend. Therefore, when generating the feature value of the user, the writing information acquired from the friend user having a high degree of association with the user has higher reliability than the writing information acquired from the friend user having a low degree of association. According to one embodiment of the present invention, feature values are generated according to the degree of association with the user, so that it is possible to obtain a feature value that represents the user's personality and inner surface.

  Next, an aspect in which the degree of compatibility between users is calculated according to the degree of association between friend users of each user will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12A is an example of a relationship between friend users of each user when calculating the degree of compatibility between user A and user B. FIG. As shown in the figure, user A's friend user A1 is in friendship with user B's friend user B1. In addition, the user A and the user B have a common friend user A2B2. The relationship between the user A and the user B, such as a common friend and friends being friends, provides an unexpected connection between the user A and the user B. Therefore, it is considered that the degree of compatibility between user A and user B increases as the degree of association between friend users increases. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the degree of compatibility between users can be varied according to the degree of association between friend users. For example, FIG.12 (b) shows that different weighting is made | formed in the calculation of the compatibility degree between the user A and the user B according to the relevance degree between friend users. As shown in the figure, the feature values of the user A and the user B generated according to the writing information by the common friend user A2B2 of the user A and the user B correspond to the writing information by the friend user A3 and the friend user B3. The compatibility degree between the user A and the user B is calculated by weighting larger than the feature value generated in this way.

  Further, according to an embodiment of the present invention, an activity index indicating a user activity level in the service may be generated, and the compatibility may be calculated according to the activity index. Here, “the user activity level in the service” is a level indicating the user's contribution to the activation of the matching support service. For example, the writing information transmission rate, the message reply rate, the number of friends, It is set by items such as the last login date and login frequency. If the users have the same activity index, the attitude to the matching support service and the life rhythm are considered to be similar, and there is a high possibility that matching will be established. According to an embodiment of the present invention, such users are extracted, and appropriate weighting is performed so as to increase the degree of compatibility. Therefore, it is possible to recommend users who are more likely to be matched. Note that the generation unit 113 may increase the activity index according to the transmission of the writing information.

  Although the present invention has been described based on the drawings and examples, it should be noted that those skilled in the art can easily make various variations and modifications based on the present disclosure. Therefore, it should be noted that these variations and modifications are included in the scope of the present invention. For example, the functions included in each means, each step, etc. can be rearranged so as not to be logically contradictory, and a plurality of means, steps, etc. can be combined into one or divided. . The structures described in the above embodiments may be combined as appropriate. For example, the processing described as the function of the matching support apparatus 100 may be performed by the communication terminal 200. In addition, each component described as being included in the matching support device 100 may be realized by being distributed by a plurality of information processing devices.

  Specifically, the processing performed by the control unit 110 may be performed by the control unit 210 of the communication terminal 200. For example, functions such as the output unit 115 and the generation unit 113 are provided in the communication terminal 200. May be.

  Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the above description, various types of information described as being stored in the storage unit 130 of the matching support device 100 may be stored in an external memory different from the matching support device 100 or on the cloud.

  In addition, regarding the generation of the feature value of the user, the output unit 115 of the matching support device 100 prompts the friend user of the user to write information about the friend (posting a photo, writing or tweeting text data, tagging, etc.). Information to that effect may be transmitted. Further, the output unit 115 may transmit information that prompts the friend user to register the relationship with the user. Thereby, an increase in writing information can be expected, and the accuracy of the user's feature value can be improved.

  Moreover, regarding a friend user, the friend user may be able to provide financial support to the user via an application. For example, a user who has succeeded in matching may be provided with facility usage rights, a priority reservation ticket for a restaurant, points that can be used at those facilities, and the like. Moreover, the friend user may be able to share the number of “likes” given to the user himself / herself who wrote the information and the number of browsing of the user's introduction information with the user. Thereby, the motivation which confirms the user's attention degree which he cheered for and transmits the writing information regarding a user can be given to a friend user.

  User activity by sending write information of friend users, number of friends, actions for friend users (for example, postings celebrating birthdays of friend users, thanking operations for friend users who wrote) The index may be improved. Depending on the activity index, service contents that can be used in the matching support service may be different. For example, there may be a difference in the “number of partners that you can view per day” or “the number of likes you can send” on the app. Further, the user's behavior index (reliability) may be changed according to the degree of coincidence between the content of the write information related to the user by the friend user and the content of the user information set by the user himself / herself.

  In addition, users who use the service can select “Guest user: the person being introduced” that can only use the function that provides the encounter, or “Host user: the person that introduces” that can only use the function that supports the encounter. May be. In that case, according to the role of a guest user and a host user, you may provide the plan and billing system in a service separately. In addition, the user joins a success guarantee plan such as extending the membership period for use of the paid service when the matching stage does not reach the desired stage within a certain period after using the service. You may be able to.

  Depending on the sex of the friend user who wrote the information, the generated feature value may be weighted depending on whether the user is the same sex or opposite sex. Further, the reliability (behavior index) of the friend user may be set so as to influence the generation of the user's own feature value. For example, information written by a friend user with low reliability may be weighted so as not to be taken into account in generating the user's feature value.

  Moreover, the request | requirement of write information may be executable between each user. In addition, regarding the display of basic information and introduction information, the user may be able to express his current mood, feelings, and physical condition with icons, BGM, and display colors of the screen.

  Note that information regarding successful matching experiences and the like may be distributed from the user. Further, as a service, the user may be able to receive a recommendation of a matching candidate partner user periodically from the service management side. For example, the service side may provide functions such as fortune-telling, psychological tests, compatibility / personality diagnosis, etc. in the application, and based on the results, users with good compatibility may be preferentially displayed as recommendation partners.

  Note that artificial intelligence (AI) may be used for searching for a matching user partner.

  In addition, when a user sends a like message to another user, a button that can be appealed to other users with an expression such as “Look!” Is displayed on the communication terminal of the user. May be. In addition, when sending a like to the other party, the user may be able to send an option or a sentence with which part of the other party is attracted. Further, an index indicating the seriousness of the user may be set by a behavior such as making the message a long sentence, solving a predetermined problem, or consuming more points. In addition, the user may be able to display the ranking by the number of browsing of the introduction information, the number of likes, and the like. In addition, the user may be given points by collecting likes. In addition, the amount of exercise and calories consumed in cooperation with other applications, devices, etc. may be convertible.

  With respect to matching, the user may be able to match between groups (2 to 2, 3 to 3, etc.). In addition, a predetermined reward (congratulations, gifts, etc.) may be given to a user who has been married after the matching is established.

  Various events may be prepared for the user regarding the use of the service. For example, the user may be set to be able to use special functions (like! Present, like, unlimited, preferential display on the search screen, etc.) on his birthday. In addition, this service may be linked to original media that posts articles about romance, marriage, hobbies, etc., and users (those who wish to distribute advertisements) will receive hobbies, tags, regions, friend information, etc. posted by users. Advertisements can be distributed based on

  Further, according to the present service, when matching is established with a certain other user, information regarding the user within a range included in the friend of the other user's friend can be browsed. Therefore, before the request is transmitted, information (for example, a tree display or the like) that can grasp how much the chance of encountering when matching is established may be displayed to the user.
