[Configuration Example of Determination Device 1]
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of the determination apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment.
The determination device 1 includes a storage unit 11 and a control unit 12.

  The storage unit 11 is, for example, a ROM and a RAM. The storage unit 11 stores various programs for causing the determination device 1 to function. For example, the storage unit 11 stores a determination program that causes the control unit 12 of the determination apparatus 1 to function as an acquisition unit 121, a set identification unit 122, a relationship identification unit 123, a determination unit 124, and a notification unit 125, which will be described later. Further, the storage unit 11 stores usage status information indicating the usage status of each of the plurality of mobile terminals 2. The usage status information includes profile information including information for identifying the mobile terminal 2 such as a telephone number and an e-mail address, an address book for managing contact information (telephone number and e-mail address) of other users, An application log indicating the execution history of one or more applications is included. The usage status information may include information acquired by various sensors (not shown) provided in the mobile terminal 2, such as position information indicating the position of the mobile terminal 2.

  The control unit 12 is a CPU, for example. The control unit 12 controls functions related to the determination device 1 by executing various programs stored in the storage unit 11. The control unit 12 includes an acquisition unit 121, a set identification unit 122, a relationship identification unit 123, a determination unit 124, and a notification unit 125.

  The acquisition unit 121 acquires usage status information from the mobile terminal 2 used by each of a plurality of users. For example, the acquisition unit 121 acquires usage status information by receiving usage status information transmitted from the mobile terminal 2 every predetermined time. The acquisition unit 121 stores the acquired usage status information and the acquisition date / time of the usage status information in the storage unit 11 in association with each other. Note that the acquisition unit 121 may delete from the storage unit 11 usage status information that has passed a predetermined period from the acquisition date and time. Moreover, although the acquisition part decided to acquire utilization status information from each of the some portable terminal 2, it is not restricted to this. For example, the acquisition unit 121 may acquire usage status information of the plurality of mobile terminals 2 online or offline from a server (not shown) to which the plurality of mobile terminals 2 are connected.

  The set specifying unit 122 specifies a set of a plurality of users based on the usage status of the mobile terminal 2 indicated by the usage status information acquired from each of the plurality of mobile terminals 2. Specifically, the set identification unit 122 includes profile information, which is information associated with an application executed on the mobile terminal 2, an address book that manages contact information of other users, and one or more applications. A set of a plurality of users is specified based on the application log indicating the execution history.

  For example, the set identifying unit 122 is included in identification information such as the telephone number, e-mail address, and account ID of the mobile terminal 2 indicated in the profile information included in the usage status information, and the address book managed in the application. By analyzing static human relationships based on identification information such as telephone numbers, e-mail addresses, account IDs and the like of each of a plurality of users, a graph indicating whether or not a plurality of users are related is generated. Note that the set identification unit 122 generates a graph indicating whether or not a plurality of users are related based on friendship information managed on a server to which a plurality of mobile terminals 2 are connected, A graph may be generated based on information associated with each of a plurality of applications.

  Here, the application executed in the mobile terminal 2 includes an application installed in the mobile terminal 2 and a web application that the mobile terminal 2 acquires and executes from a web server or the like via the communication network 3. And

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a graph according to the present embodiment. The graph shown in FIG. 4 includes nodes N1 to N7 and links L1 to L10. Reference signs A to G shown in the nodes N <b> 1 to N <b> 7 are identification information of the user of the mobile terminal 2. Links L1 to L10 indicate that there is a relationship between users. For example, the link L2 that connects the node N1 and the node N2 indicates that there is a relationship between the user A corresponding to the node N1 and the user B corresponding to the node N2.

  The set specifying unit 122 specifies a set of a plurality of users related to each other based on the generated graph. Here, a plurality of users having a relationship with each other means a plurality of users in which each of a plurality of nodes corresponding to the plurality of users is linked to all other nodes in the plurality of nodes. Say. In the example illustrated in FIG. 4, each of the nodes N1 to N4 corresponding to the users A to D is connected to all other nodes in the nodes N1 to N4 by links. For this reason, the users A to D are a plurality of users having a relationship with each other. Hereinafter, a set of a plurality of users having a relationship with each other is also simply referred to as a set.

  The set specifying unit 122 specifies the execution status of an application having a communication function executed on the mobile terminal 2 based on the application log, and specifies the set based on the relationship between users in the application. May be.

  For example, it is assumed that an execution log of a web application is included as the application log, and the execution log includes an access history such as a blog, an electronic bulletin board, and an SNS. In this case, the set identifying unit 122 acquires display information displayed on the mobile terminal 2 by the web application based on the access history. Then, the set identifying unit 122 acquires identification information on the web application of the user of the mobile terminal 2 based on the display information, and also acquires information such as a friend list indicating related users in the web application. And the set specific | specification part 122 is a graph which shows the relationship of the user of several portable terminal 2 based on the identification information on the web application of the user of the portable terminal 2, and the identification information of the other user contained in a friend list. And a set is specified based on the graph. Note that the set identification unit 122 has acquired the friend list from the mobile terminal 2, but is not limited thereto, and may acquire the friend list from a server that manages the friend list.

  Moreover, although the set specific | specification part 122 specified the set based on profile information and an address book, it is not restricted to this. The set specifying unit 122 may specify the set based on the user attribute of the profile information. For example, when the profile information as the usage status information includes attribute information such as the school, grade, or local community to which the user belongs, the set specifying unit 122 further specifies the set based on the attribute information. May be. By doing in this way, the determination apparatus 1 can pinpoint the user who has a relationship with sufficient precision.

  In addition, the set identification unit 122 may identify a set based on the usage status of an application executed on the mobile terminal 2. For example, the set specifying unit 122 selects a plurality of users who are using a predetermined application in the same time zone based on the application logs of the plurality of mobile terminals 2 included in the usage status information stored in the storage unit 11. It may be specified that the plurality of users are related to each other.

  Further, the set specifying unit 122 may specify a set based on a user attribute in an application executed on the mobile terminal 2. For example, the set specifying unit 122 may specify a group by specifying a group to which the user of the mobile terminal 2 belongs in the web application and specifying other users belonging to the group.

In addition, the set specifying unit 122 specifies a plurality of users who are related to each other as a set (clique), but this is not a limitation, and there is no relationship between some users, and there is a relationship between all other users. A set of users (quasi-clique) may be specified.
Moreover, although the set specific | specification part 122 produced | generated the graph and specified the set based on the said graph, it is not restricted to this, You may specify a clique, without producing | generating a graph.

  The relationship identification unit 123 identifies the strength of the relationship between the plurality of users by analyzing the dynamic human relationship based on the usage status of the mobile terminal 2 used by each of the plurality of users. Specifically, the relationship specifying unit 123 specifies the strength of the relationship between the plurality of users based on the usage status of the application executed on the mobile terminal 2 used by each of the plurality of users.

  More specifically, the relationship identifying unit 123 refers to the usage status information acquired by the acquisition unit 121 and executes the predetermined application simultaneously with the situation in which the predetermined application is simultaneously executed on the plurality of mobile terminals 2. Based on the number of mobile terminals 2 that are in operation, the strength of the relationship between each of the plurality of users is specified.

  Hereinafter, a method for specifying the strength of each of the plurality of users will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a set of users and the strength of a plurality of users corresponding to the set. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a time during which a predetermined application is simultaneously executed in the mobile terminals corresponding to the set of users illustrated in FIG.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 5A, a set is specified by the set specifying unit 122 corresponding to three users A, B, and C, and is composed of nodes N1 to N3 and links L1 to L3. Is generated. In this case, the relationship specifying unit 123 specifies the strength of the relationship between the nodes corresponding to the mobile terminals 2 corresponding to the three users, as shown in FIG. In FIG. 5A, the example in which links are attached to the three users A, B, and C has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Good.

  For example, the set specifying unit 122 specifies the time during which a predetermined application is simultaneously executed at a specific time. In the example shown in FIG. 6, the number of times that a predetermined application is executed simultaneously among a plurality of users during a specific time (24 hours) is four, and each execution time is in order from the left to the node N1. 3 hours between mobile terminals 2 corresponding to N2, 1 hour between mobile terminals 2 corresponding to nodes N1 to N3, 3 hours between mobile terminals 2 corresponding to nodes N2 and N3, corresponding to nodes N1 to N3 It is 2 hours between the portable terminals 2.

For example, the relationship specifying unit 123 uses an index indicating the strength of the relationship between nodes as the length of the execution time within a specific time when the two mobile terminals 2 corresponding to the link simultaneously execute a predetermined application. And based on the number of users executed simultaneously. For example, the relationship identifying unit 123 calculates an index I12 indicating the strength of the relationship between the node N1 and the node N2 illustrated in FIG. 6 based on the following equation (1). Specifically, the relationship specifying unit 123 multiplies the length of execution time per unit time when the two mobile terminals 2 execute a predetermined application at the same time by the number of users executed simultaneously. An index indicating the strength of the is calculated.
I12 = 3/24 * 2 + 1/24 * 3 + 2/24 * 3 = 0.625 (1)

Similarly, an index I23 indicating the strength of the relationship between the node N2 and the node N3 shown in FIG. 6 is the following equation (2), and an index I31 indicating the strength of the relationship between the node N3 and the node N1 is the following equation: It is indicated by (3).
I23 = 1/24 * 3 + 3/24 * 2 + 2/24 * 3 = 0.625 (2)
I31 = 1/24 * 3 + 2/24 * 3 = 0.375 (3)

  Note that the relationship specifying unit 123 may specify the strength of the relationship of each of the plurality of users based on the usage status of each time zone of the mobile terminal 2 used by each of the plurality of users. For example, when a predetermined application is simultaneously executed in a specific time zone (for example, midnight), the relationship specifying unit 123 gives the index indicating the strength of the user relationship when the application is simultaneously executed in the specific time zone. You may make it perform the weighting which makes an influence high compared with another time slot | zone. By doing in this way, the determination apparatus 1 can specify the strength of the relationship of each of a plurality of users with emphasis on the usage situation in a specific time zone.

  Moreover, you may make it the relationship specific | specification part 123 specify the strength of each relationship of a some user based on each attribute of a some user. For example, when the attribute information of the users configuring the set indicates the same school, the relationship specifying unit 123 may perform weighting so that the index indicating the strength of the user relationship is high.

  In addition, the relationship specifying unit 123 may specify the strength of the relationship of each of a plurality of users based on the number of users constituting the set. For example, it is considered that the strength of the tuning pressure between users varies depending on the number of users of the plurality of mobile terminals 2. For this reason, the number of users constituting the set and the weighting value for the index indicating the strength of the relationship are stored in association with each other, and when the relationship specifying unit 123 calculates the index, A weighting value based on a number may be specified. Then, the relationship specifying unit 123 may weight the index with the weight value. By doing in this way, the determination apparatus 1 can adjust the parameter | index which shows the strength of a relationship according to the number of the users who comprise a set.

  Further, the relationship identifying unit 123 identifies the execution status of an application having a communication function executed on the mobile terminal 2 based on the application log, and a plurality of users based on the relationship between users in the application. The strength of each relationship may be specified for each link direction. For example, it is assumed that the application log includes an access history such as a blog, an electronic bulletin board, and an SNS. The relationship specifying unit 123 may specify the strength of the user relationship based on the ratio of the number of comments to the number of posts of a certain user's article. In addition, the relationship specifying unit 123 may specify the strength of the user's relationship based on the time until posting a comment on the posting of the article. Here, the relationship specifying unit 123 may specify the strength of the user relationship based on the like button or the read notification, not limited to the comment. In these cases, it should be noted that the strength of the relationship between the two parties varies depending on the orientation.

  The determination unit 124 determines whether or not the plurality of users depend on the use of the mobile terminal 2 based on the strength of the relationship between the specified plurality of users. For example, the determination unit 124 determines that each of the plurality of users is the mobile terminal 2 when the value of the index indicating the strength of each of the plurality of users specified by the relationship specifying unit 123 exceeds a predetermined threshold. Judge that it depends on the use of.

  Note that the determination unit 124 determines that the plurality of users depend on the use of the mobile terminal 2 when all of the index values indicating the strengths of the relationships among the plurality of users exceed a predetermined threshold. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it is determined that a plurality of users corresponding to the set depend on the use of the mobile terminal 2 when a predetermined ratio (for example, 90%) of the links corresponding to the set exceeds a predetermined threshold. May be.

  Further, the relationship specifying unit 123 also specifies the strength of the relationship between the users constituting the set and the users not belonging to the set, and the average value of the strength of the relationship and a plurality of users corresponding to the set It may be determined that the plurality of users corresponding to the set depend on the use of the portable terminal 2 when the ratio of the strength of the respective relationships to the average value is equal to or less than a predetermined value.

  In addition, the determination unit 124 depends on the use of the mobile terminal 2 by changing the predetermined threshold based on the strength of the relationship between the plurality of users and the number of users constituting the set. It may be determined whether or not. As described above, it is considered that the strength of the tuning pressure between users varies depending on the number of users of the plurality of mobile terminals 2. For example, when the number of users constituting the set is the number of users who are considered to have strong tuning pressure, the determination unit 124 reduces the predetermined threshold value compared to the case of the number of other users, thereby You may make it easy to determine that it is dependent on use. By doing in this way, when the number of users for which the tuning pressure is considered to be strong is determined, the determination device 1 determines that it is dependent on the use of the mobile terminal 2 at an early stage, and the tuning pressure is likely to be generated. It is possible to notify early that it has become.

  Further, the determination unit 124 may determine whether or not the plurality of users depend on the use of the mobile terminal 2 based on the strength of the relationship between the plurality of users and the attributes of the plurality of users. . For example, the determination unit 124 may change the predetermined threshold based on the group to which the user belongs, specified in the process of specifying the set by the set specifying unit 122. For example, if the group to which the user belongs is a junior high school student or a high school student whose age is likely to have strong synchronization pressure, the predetermined threshold value is set to be relatively low, and it depends on the use of the mobile terminal 2. It may be easy to determine. By doing in this way, when the user has a specific attribute, the determination device 1 determines that it is dependent on the use of the mobile terminal 2 at an early stage, and a situation in which synchronization pressure is likely to occur. Can be notified.

  The notification unit 125 functions as a transmission unit. When the determination unit 124 determines that a plurality of users depend on the use of the mobile terminal 2, the notification unit 125 determines that the user depends on the use of the mobile terminal 2 and the mobile terminal 2 corresponds to the plurality of users. Send alert information indicating that Note that the notification unit 125 may include in the alert information that there is a possibility that a tuning pressure is generated among a plurality of users.

  The mobile terminal 2 has a notification unit, and notifies the user that the mobile terminal 2 depends on the use of the mobile terminal 2 by the notification unit. Specifically, when the notification unit of the mobile terminal 2 receives alert information from the determination device 1, the notification unit displays the alert information on a display unit provided in the mobile terminal 2. Note that the notification unit of the mobile terminal 2 may cause the audio output unit provided in the mobile terminal 2 to output audio corresponding to the alert information.

[Flow of processing in determination apparatus 1]
Subsequently, the flow of processing in the determination apparatus 1 will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing in the determination apparatus 1 according to this embodiment.

First, the acquisition unit 121 acquires usage status information indicating the usage status of the mobile terminal 2 from each of the plurality of mobile terminals 2 (S10).
Subsequently, the set specifying unit 122 specifies a set of a plurality of users based on the usage status of the mobile terminal 2 indicated by the acquired usage status information (S20).

Subsequently, when a plurality of sets are specified in S20, the relationship specifying unit 123 selects one set (S30). In addition, when only one set is specified in S20, the relationship specifying unit 123 selects the specified set.
Subsequently, the relationship specifying unit 123 specifies the strength of the relationship between the plurality of users belonging to the selected set based on the usage status of the mobile terminal 2 used by each of the plurality of users (S40).

  Subsequently, the determination unit 124 determines whether or not the strengths of the relationships among the plurality of users specified in S40 all exceed a predetermined threshold (S50). If the determination unit 124 exceeds the predetermined threshold value, the determination unit 124 determines that a plurality of users depend on the use of the mobile terminal 2, and moves the process to S60. If the determination unit 124 is equal to or less than the predetermined threshold, the process proceeds to S70.

  In S <b> 60, the notification unit 125 notifies the alert information to the user of the mobile terminal 2 by transmitting alert information indicating that the user is dependent on the use of the mobile terminal 2 to the mobile terminal 2. When this process ends, the notification unit 125 moves the process to S70. In addition, when one user belongs to a plurality of sets and the alert information has already been transmitted to the mobile terminal 2 of the user, the notification unit 125 may prevent the alert information from being transmitted a plurality of times. Good.

  Subsequently, the relationship identifying unit 123 determines whether or not an unselected set exists (S70). If the relationship identifying unit 123 determines that there is an unselected set, the process moves to S30. If the relationship specifying unit 123 determines that there is no unselected set, the process according to this flowchart ends.
