The processor 1A can issue a command to each module and perform a calculation based on the calculation result.

  The present embodiment will be described below. It should be noted that the functional block diagram used in the following description of the embodiment does not show a configuration in hardware units but shows blocks in functional units. In these drawings, each device is described as being realized by one device, but the realizing means is not limited to this. That is, it may have a physically separated structure or a logically separated structure. The same components are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted as appropriate.

  FIG. 2 shows an example of a functional block diagram of the information providing apparatus 10 of this embodiment. As shown in the figure, the information providing device 10 includes an output unit 11, a screen generation unit 12, and a reception unit 13.

  The accepting unit 13 accepts various inputs from the user via various input devices (eg, mouse, keyboard, touch panel display, microphone, physical buttons, etc.).

  The screen generator 12 generates a screen to be provided to the user. The screen generator 12 can generate a screen based on the content received by the receiver 13.

  The output unit 11 outputs the screen generated by the screen generation unit 12 via various output devices (eg, display, projector, etc.).

  The information providing apparatus 10 can display any one or more of the first to third screens having different contents. It should be noted that any of the first to third screens is a screen generated and displayed after each program is broadcast, and is used to evaluate the actual viewing situation after the broadcast. The details of each screen will be described below.

<First screen>
FIG. 3 shows an example of the first screen generated by the screen generator 12 and output by the output unit 11. The first screen shows content information regarding the broadcast content of each of a plurality of broadcast channels along the time axis. Further, the first screen shows the evaluation result of the viewing status of a plurality of broadcast channels at every predetermined time T. That is, the viewing status of each of a plurality of broadcast channels in the same time zone is evaluated and the result is shown. Hereinafter, the first screen will be described in detail.

  In the figure, “19 (hour), 20 (hour), 21 (hour)... ”At the left end is the time axis.

  "Content information" is the program name, program start time, program end time, program genre, program outline, program performer, corner name, corner start time, corner end time, corner genre, corner outline, and corner. Including at least one of the performers. In the illustrated example, the program name and the program start time of each program are shown.

  The content information is obtained by analyzing the broadcast content. Further, in recent years, a service has been performed in which broadcast programs are converted into texts, converted into databases, and provided with the metadata. For example, content information may be acquired from the service. The screen generation unit 12 generates the first screen using the content information obtained in this way.

  The value of "predetermined time T" is a design matter. For example, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, etc. are conceivable, but not limited thereto. In the illustrated example, the predetermined time T is 1 hour.

  The “evaluation result of viewing status of a plurality of broadcast channels” can have various contents. In the case of the example shown in FIG. 3, the evaluation result shows the transition of the broadcast channel having the largest predetermined quantitative evaluation value in each time zone for each viewer category. "M1", "M2", "M3", "F1", "F2", "F3", "T", "shown every hour (19:00 to 20:00, 20:00 to 21:00)" The evaluation result is indicated by a mark in which each character "C" is associated.

  The characters "M1", "M2", "M3", "F1", "F2", "F3", "T", and "C" indicate viewer classification. "M1" is a man aged 20 to 34, "M2" is a man aged 35 to 49, "M3" is a man over 50, "F1" is a woman aged 20 to 34, and "F2" is 35 to 49. Age women, “F3” indicates women over 50 years old, “C” indicates men and women aged 4 to 12, and “T” indicates men and women aged 13 to 19 years.

  In the illustrated example, at each predetermined time T (every 1 hour), in each time zone, each viewer segment is associated with the broadcast channel having the largest predetermined quantitative evaluation value, and is associated with each viewer segment. The marked marks are shown. In the case of the example shown in FIG. 3, in the time zone from 19:00 to 20:00, the mark associated with the character “M1” is CH. It is associated with D. This is because the broadcasting channel with the largest predetermined quantitative evaluation value regarding the viewer category “M1” in the time zone is CH. It shows that it is D. Similarly, in the same time period, the broadcast channel having the largest predetermined quantitative evaluation value regarding the viewer category “M2” is CH. It is shown that it is A.

  The “quantitative evaluation value” is the audience rating, the viewer occupation rate, the number of accesses to a predetermined web page, the number of calls to a predetermined call center, and the number of predetermined messages registered in a predetermined server. It is either. The information providing apparatus 10 is for each broadcast channel, a time zone in which the viewing situation is evaluated (a concept determined based on the value of the predetermined time T. In the example of FIG. 3, 19:00 to 20:00, 20:00 to 21:00). Each quantitative evaluation value is acquired or generated. Then, the screen generator 12 uses the information to generate the first screen.

  The audience rating is, for example, an average audience rating for each time zone (19:00 to 20:00, 20:00 to 21:00 in the example of FIG. 3) for evaluating the viewing situation. The screen generation unit 12 can calculate such an evaluation value based on the audience rating of each broadcast channel at predetermined time intervals (for example, every 1 minute) acquired by any means.

  The viewing occupancy rate refers to each broadcast channel among the viewers who are watching television in each of the time zones (19:00 to 20:00, 20:00 to 21:00 in the example of FIG. 3) for evaluating the viewing situation. Shows the percentage of viewers The screen generation unit 12 may, for example, each audience rating (example: average audience rating) for each time zone (19:00 to 20:00, 20:00 to 21:00 in the example of FIG. 3) for evaluating the viewing status of each broadcast channel. Is divided by the total of the audience ratings of a plurality of broadcast channels, the audience occupation rate can be calculated.

  The number of access to a predetermined web page indicates the number of access to the home page of each broadcasting station, the number of access to the web page of each program, and the like. It can be evaluated that the larger the value, the more the response.

It should be noted that a predetermined time lag may occur between the time the program is broadcast and the time the viewer accesses various web pages according to the program. When the number of accesses to the web page is used as the evaluation value, it is preferable to count the number of accesses in consideration of the time lag. For example, the time zone in which the viewing situation is evaluated and the time zone in which the number of accesses is counted (integrated) as the evaluation value of the time zone may be shifted by the time in consideration of the time lag. Specifically, when the time slot for evaluating the viewing status of each broadcast channel is 19:00 to 20:00 and 20:00 to 21:00 as in the example of FIG. 3, each evaluation value is set to 19:00. t ₁ minutes to 20 o'clock _{t 1} minute _{(t 1} is greater than zero.) access number in the time zone of, and access in the time zone of 20:00 o'clock _{t 1} minute to 21 _{t 1} minute _{(t 1} is greater than zero.) It may be a number. The screen generation unit 12 can calculate such an evaluation value based on the number of accesses at predetermined time intervals (for example, every 1 minute) acquired by any means.

  The number of calls to a predetermined call center indicates the number of calls to the call center of each broadcasting station. It can be evaluated that the larger the value, the more the response.

It should be noted that a predetermined time lag may occur between the time the program is broadcast and the time the viewer calls the call center of each broadcasting station in accordance with the program. When the number of telephone calls to the broadcasting station is used as the evaluation value, it is preferable to count the number of telephone calls in consideration of the time lag. For example, the time zone in which the viewing situation is evaluated and the time zone in which the number of telephones is counted (integrated) as the evaluation value of the time zone may be shifted by the time in consideration of the time lag. Specifically, when the time slot for evaluating the viewing status of each broadcast channel is 19:00 to 20:00 and 20:00 to 21:00 as in the example of FIG. 3, each evaluation value is set to 19:00. t ₂ minutes to 20 o'clock _{t 2} minutes _{(t 2} is greater than 0.) telephone number in the time zone of, and, phone in the time zone of the (large. than _{t 2} 0) 20 o'clock _{t 2} minutes to 21 o'clock _{t 2} minutes It may be the number. The screen generator 12 can calculate such an evaluation value based on, for example, the number of telephones at predetermined time intervals (eg, every 1 minute) acquired by any means.

  The number of predetermined messages registered in a predetermined server is the number of messages transmitted on social media. It can be evaluated that the larger the value, the more the response.

  For example, the body of each of the plurality of messages, attached information (eg, hash tag), and the like are analyzed, and those relating to each broadcast channel are extracted from the transmitted messages. For example, a keyword corresponding to each broadcast channel (eg, broadcast channel name, broadcast station name, program name, corner name, performer, etc.) is registered in advance, and a message including the keyword is associated with each broadcast channel. You may extract. Then, the number of messages extracted in a predetermined time period corresponding to each broadcast channel can be used as the evaluation value of each broadcast channel.

It should be noted that a predetermined time lag may occur between the time the program is broadcast and the time the viewer sends a message in accordance with the program. When the number of transmitted messages is used as the evaluation value, it is preferable to count the number of messages in consideration of the time lag. For example, the time zone in which the viewing situation is evaluated and the time zone in which the number of messages is counted (integrated) as the evaluation value of the time zone may be shifted by the time in consideration of the time lag. Specifically, when the time slot for evaluating the viewing status of each broadcast channel is 19:00 to 20:00 and 20:00 to 21:00 as in the example of FIG. 3, each evaluation value is set to 19:00. t ₃ minutes to 20 o'clock _{t 3} minutes _{(t 3} is greater than zero.) the number of outbound messages to the time zone of, and, at 20 o'clock _{t 3} minutes to 21 _{t 3} minutes _{(t 3} is greater than 0.) It may be the number of messages transmitted during the time period. The screen generation unit 12 can calculate such an evaluation value, for example, based on the number of messages acquired by an arbitrary means at predetermined time intervals (eg, every one minute).

  The means for acquiring the quantitative evaluation value exemplified here is not particularly limited, and any technique can be adopted. The number of accesses to a predetermined web page and the number of calls to a predetermined call center can be obtained from each broadcasting station and used.

  By the way, in the case of the example shown in FIG. 3, the marks of the respective time zones corresponding to the respective viewer categories are connected in chronological order by arrows. This makes it easy to grasp the transition of the broadcast channel having the largest evaluation value for each viewer category. Instead of the method of connecting with the arrow shown in the figure, other methods such as connecting with a line can be adopted.

  Further, in the case of the example shown in FIG. 3, the size of the evaluation value is shown by the display form of the mark. Specifically, the larger the mark, the larger the evaluation value. Note that the mark is a circle in the drawing, but this is merely an example, and the present invention is not limited to this.

  Although not explicitly shown in FIG. 3, the increase/decrease from the evaluation value in the immediately preceding time period may be shown depending on the mark display mode (eg, mark color coding, etc.). For example, an increase or decrease in the evaluation value of the broadcast channel associated with the mark may be indicated for each viewer category.

  For example, in the case of the example in FIG. 3, the mark corresponding to the viewer classification of M2 is CH.CH in the time zone of 19:00 to 20:00. In the time zone from 20:00 to 21:00, CH. Corresponds to C. Comparing the sizes of these two marks, the mark in the time zone of 19:00 to 20:00 is larger (that is, the evaluation value is larger). In this case, the mark corresponding to the viewer segment of M2 in the time zone from 20:00 to 21:00 may be shown in a display form (example: blue display) indicating that the evaluation value has decreased from the immediately preceding time zone.

  Although not explicitly shown in FIG. 3, the qualitative evaluation content of the viewer for the broadcast channel having the largest evaluation value in each time zone may be shown. That is, the qualitative evaluation content of the viewer for each time slot of each broadcast channel associated with the mark on the first screen shown in FIG. 3 may be shown. For example, when the reception unit 13 receives an input (eg, mouseover, predetermined touch operation, etc.) designating one of the marks shown in FIG. 3, the time slot of the broadcast channel corresponding to the designated mark. You may display the evaluation content in.

  Specifically, when the input designating one mark is accepted, the display content of the mark may be switched to any of the icons (audience quality icon) shown in FIG. Each audience quality icon indicates the qualitative evaluation content of the viewer by its appearance. In the figure, <interesting>, <pretty>, <crying>, <anger>, <boring>, <disappointed> in parentheses below each audience quality icon are qualitative evaluations corresponding to each audience quality icon. It is the content. Although six patterns of audience quality icons are shown here, the number and the correspondence relationship between each audience quality icon and the qualitative evaluation content are not limited to this.

  Here, an example of a method of acquiring the qualitative evaluation contents of the viewer will be described. For example, by analyzing the content of the “predetermined message registered in the predetermined server”, the qualitative evaluation content of the viewer can be obtained.

  For example, the body of each of a plurality of transmitted messages, attached information (eg, hash tag), and the like are analyzed, and a message related to each broadcast channel is extracted from the messages transmitted at a predetermined time. For example, a keyword corresponding to each broadcast channel (eg, broadcast channel name, broadcast station name, program name, corner name, performer, etc.) is registered in advance, and a message including the keyword is associated with each broadcast channel. You may extract. As a result, it is possible to extract the message transmitted in each time zone for each broadcast channel from the plurality of messages.

  Then, by analyzing each message and estimating the viewer category of the user who transmitted each message, the message can be classified according to the category of the sender (viewer category). For example, when the profile published by each user includes gender, age, etc., the viewer category can be specified using the information. In addition, the presence/absence of pre-registered words (eg, school, work, me, me, etc.) may be analyzed from the profile published by each user and the transmitted text, and the viewer classification may be estimated by a predetermined algorithm.

  After that, the messages classified by broadcast channel, time of transmission, and category of sender (viewer category) are analyzed, and qualitative evaluation contents are obtained for each message. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the qualitative evaluation contents may be classified into a plurality of patterns in advance, and keywords (interesting: laughter, laughter, etc.) corresponding to each pattern may be registered in advance. Then, in a message including those keywords, qualitative evaluation contents corresponding to the keywords may be determined.

  Then, after determining the qualitative evaluation contents of each of the plurality of messages for each broadcast channel, for each time period of transmission, and for each sender category (viewer category), the most qualitative evaluation content is determined. It may be a qualitative evaluation content of each viewer segment in each time zone of each broadcast channel.

It should be noted that a predetermined time lag may occur between the time the program is broadcast and the time the viewer sends a message in accordance with the program. The time zone in which the message is extracted may be determined in consideration of the time lag. That is, the time zone in which the qualitative evaluation content is analyzed and the time zone in which the message is extracted corresponding to the time zone may be shifted by the time taking the time lag into consideration. Specifically, when the time zone for analyzing the qualitative evaluation contents is 19:00 to 20:00 and 20:00 to 21:00 as in the example of FIG. 3, a message is extracted corresponding to each. The time zone may be set to 19 o'clock t ₄ minutes to 20 o'clock t ₄ minutes (t ₄ is greater than 0.) and 20 o'clock t ₄ minutes to 21 o'clock t ₄ minutes (t ₄ is greater than 0).

  Further, as shown in the first screen of FIG. 3, the receiving unit 13 may receive an operation for a GUI (graphical user interface) component associated with each of the previous day and the next day. The screen generation unit 12 generates a first screen in which the content information displayed on the screen and the evaluation result are changed to those of the previous day or those of the next day according to the operation. Then, the output unit 11 updates the output first screen to the newly generated one.

  Further, the accepting unit 13 may accept an operation on the GUI component associated with the designated date and time, as shown in the first screen of FIG. That is, the drop-down list may accept inputs specifying each of year, month, day, hour, and minute. The screen generation unit 12 generates the first screen in which the content information to be displayed on the screen and the evaluation result are changed to those of the designated date and time according to the operation. Then, the output unit 11 updates the output first screen to the newly generated one.

  In addition, the reception unit 13 may receive an input designating the type of viewer category, as shown in the first screen of FIG. 3. The type of viewer category is not particularly limited, and in addition to the eight sex age groups mentioned above, male and female 10-year-old categories are divided into males and females in their teens, 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s and above, Various occupational categories are possible. The screen generation unit 12 generates the first screen in which the type of the viewer category to be displayed on the screen is changed to the designated one in response to the input. Then, the output unit 11 updates the output first screen to the newly generated one.

  Further, the receiving unit 13 may receive an input designating one of the plurality of viewer categories. For example, the reception unit 13 selects from among the “M1”, “M2”, “M3”, “F1”, “F2”, “F3”, “T”, and “C” from the first screen of FIG. An input specifying any one may be accepted. In response to the input, the screen generating unit 12 generates a first screen showing a predetermined quantitative evaluation value of each of the plurality of broadcast channels in the designated viewer section at every predetermined time T. Then, the output unit 11 updates the output first screen to the newly generated one.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of the first screen. The first screen shown is a screen when "M2" is designated. As shown in the figure, the size of the evaluation value can be indicated by the display form (eg, size) of the mark. For example, the larger the evaluation value, the larger the mark may be. Further, the display form (eg, color coding) of the mark may indicate the increase or decrease from the evaluation value in the immediately preceding time zone for each broadcast channel.

  As described above, the screen shown in FIG. 5 can also be said to be the first screen showing the evaluation result of the viewing status of a plurality of broadcast channels at each predetermined time T.

  Note that the receiving unit 13 may receive an input designating the value of the predetermined time T. Then, the screen generation unit 12 may switch the content of the content information shown on the first screen according to the value of the specified predetermined time T.

  For example, when the predetermined time T is a predetermined value or more (eg, one hour or more), the program name and the program start time of each program are shown as the content information as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, and the predetermined time T is the predetermined time. If the value is less than the value (eg, less than one hour), the program name, corner name, and corner start time of each program may be shown as the content information as shown in FIG. The contents of the content information corresponding to the value of T illustrated here are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited to these.

  By the way, in the example shown in FIG. 6, the predetermined time T is designated as 30 minutes. And, every 30 minutes, the evaluation result of the viewing situation of a plurality of broadcast channels is shown.

<Second screen>
FIG. 7 shows an example of the second screen generated by the screen generator 12 and output by the output unit 11. The second screen displays a plurality of types of attribute values for each corner of one program in the order in which they are broadcast, and presumes that the predetermined quantitative evaluation value for each corner is the largest factor that increased or decreased from the immediately preceding corner. Indicates the attribute to be set.

  For example, the reception unit 13 may receive an input designating one program from the first screen shown in FIG. The screen generation unit 12 may generate a second screen relating to the program designated according to the input, and the output unit 11 may output the generated second screen. Hereinafter, the second screen will be described in detail.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the plurality of types of attribute values relating to each corner of the program include at least two of a corner start time, a corner name, a corner performer, a corner genre, and a corner content. The attribute values are not limited to those illustrated here. For example, “how to perform a specific performer” may be included. The appearance of the performers is as follows: "total time that the specific performer appeared in the program", "total time that the specific performer appeared in each corner", "specific performer was shown on the screen Total time", "total time the specific performer appeared on the screen in each corner", "whether the specific performer appeared on the screen at a specific time (eg program opening time, ending time, etc.) Or not" and "whether or not the specific performer has been continuously displayed on the screen for every predetermined time (for example, every 10 minutes) for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds), or the like, or , Multiple combinations can be used.

  These attribute values are obtained by analyzing the broadcast content. Further, in recent years, a service has been performed in which broadcast programs are converted into texts, converted into databases, and provided with the metadata. For example, the attribute value may be acquired from the service. The screen generation unit 12 generates the second screen using the attribute value thus obtained.

  In the example shown in FIG. 7, the genre of the corner is divided into the first genre and the second genre. The value of the second genre is a more detailed version of the value of the first genre. The classification of the first genre and the second genre may be performed by a human, or may be performed by a computer by analyzing text data in which broadcast contents are converted into text. As an example of the latter, for example, a keyword is registered in advance for each of a plurality of genres, and a genre including a frequently-used word extracted by analyzing text data of broadcast contents as a keyword is determined as a genre of the corner. Can be considered.

  The predetermined quantitative evaluation value for each corner is the audience rating in the time period when each corner is broadcast, the viewing occupation rate, the number of accesses to a predetermined web page, the number of calls to a predetermined call center, and the predetermined number. It is one of the number of predetermined messages registered in the server. Since these have been described above, description thereof will be omitted here.

  As described above, there is a predetermined time lag between the timing at which a predetermined web page is accessed, the predetermined call center is called, and the predetermined message is transmitted, and the timing at which each corner is broadcast. Can occur. In consideration of the time lag, it is preferable to set a time zone in which the number of accesses, the number of telephones, and the number of messages, which are predetermined quantitative evaluation values for each corner, are counted. Details are as described above.

  In the example shown in FIG. 7, a predetermined mark is associated with the attribute estimated to be the first factor that the predetermined quantitative evaluation value for each corner increases or decreases from the immediately preceding corner. In addition, the display form of the mark shows the qualitative evaluation contents of the viewer for each corner (eg, qualitative evaluation contents including all viewer categories). Specifically, the audience quality icon described above indicates qualitative evaluation contents for each corner. Further, although not clearly shown in the figure, an increase or decrease in the evaluation value from the immediately previous corner may be shown depending on the display form (eg, color coding) of the mark. The method of acquiring the qualitative evaluation content of the viewer for each corner can be realized in the same manner as the method of acquiring the qualitative evaluation content of the viewer for each time zone of each broadcast channel described above.

  In the case of the example shown in the figure, the corner “Shiiku Diary” starting at 19:20 has a reduced evaluation value although not clearly shown in the figure, and it is presumed that the content of the corner is the main factor. Then, “disappointed” (see FIG. 4) is shown as the qualitative evaluation content for the corner.

  Here, an example of a method of estimating the first factor (attribute) in which the predetermined quantitative evaluation value for each corner increases or decreases from the immediately preceding corner will be described. For example, a method is conceivable in which an estimation model is generated by machine learning based on a plurality of data (eg, past attribute values of corners, attribute values of back program corners, increase/decrease results of evaluation values, etc.), and estimation is performed based on the estimation model. Be done. For example, a heterogeneous mixed learning model may be used in which input data is divided into cases according to rules in a decision tree format (eg, for each day of the week, for each time zone, etc.), and a linear model combining different explanatory variables in each case is used for prediction. This technique is widely known as a “heterogeneous learning technique”. For example, it is disclosed in Non-Patent Document 1.

<3rd screen>
FIG. 8 shows an example of the third screen generated by the screen generator 12 and output by the output unit 11. The third screen displays a list of a plurality of types of attribute values related to the corners of the program broadcast on each of a plurality of broadcasting channels at a certain timing, and a predetermined quantitative evaluation value for each corner is immediately displayed for each program. The attribute that is estimated to be the first factor that increases or decreases from the corner is shown.

  For example, the reception unit 13 may receive an input designating one corner start time from the second screen shown in FIG. The screen generation unit 12 generates and outputs a third screen regarding a corner of a program being broadcast in a back program (a program being broadcast on another broadcast channel) at the corner start time designated according to the input. The unit 11 may output the generated third screen. Hereinafter, the third screen will be described in detail.

  A plurality of types of information (eg, corner name, performer, genre, content) shown in correspondence with each program on the third screen shown in FIG. 8 is displayed in each corner on the second screen shown in FIG. It is the same as the corresponding information shown. That is, these pieces of information on the third screen are the same as those described on the second screen, and are generated by the same method.

  The information providing apparatus 10 can display at least one of the first to third screens described above.

  Note that the accepting unit 13 may accept an input designating one mark (audience quality icon) on the first to third screens. The screen generation unit 12 can generate a screen as shown in FIG. 9 according to the input, and the output unit 11 can output the generated screen. On the screen shown, a list of messages transmitted corresponding to the broadcast channel in the time zone corresponding to the designated mark is displayed.

  Next, the function and effect of this embodiment will be described.

  The first screen (FIGS. 3, 5, 6 and the like) output by the information providing apparatus 10 shows the evaluation result of the viewing status of a plurality of broadcast channels at every predetermined time T. According to the first screen as described above, based on the evaluation result in a certain time zone (eg, the evaluation result in the time zone from 19:00 to 20:00 in FIG. 3), the viewing situation is appropriately spread over a plurality of broadcast channels. Can be evaluated.

  Further, the first screen can display the evaluation result along the time axis. By observing such evaluation results in time series, it is possible to easily grasp the transition of the evaluation results.

  Also, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, the first screen can show the transition of the broadcast channel having the largest predetermined quantitative evaluation value (eg, audience rating) in each time period. By observing such evaluation results in time series, it is possible to easily grasp how the broadcast channel having the largest evaluation value has changed.

  In addition, the first screen can divide the viewer into a plurality of viewer categories and simultaneously display the evaluation results for each viewer category. Therefore, the above contents can be grasped for each viewer category. In addition, the causal relationship between the viewer category and the evaluation result can be easily grasped.

  In addition to the above evaluation result, the first screen can show content information regarding the broadcast content of each of a plurality of broadcast channels. By observing the evaluation result in each time zone and the content information of each broadcast channel in each time zone together, the causal relationship between the transition of the evaluation value and the broadcast content can be grasped.

  Further, the first screen can show the magnitude of the evaluation value, increase or decrease from the evaluation value in the immediately preceding time period, etc., depending on the display form of the mark to be displayed. Therefore, the user can intuitively understand these based on the display form of the marks.

  In addition to the quantitative evaluation result, the first screen can show the qualitative evaluation contents of the viewer. A large evaluation value indicates a large response from the viewer. However, it is difficult to know whether the response is positive or negative only from the evaluation value. According to the first screen on which the qualitative evaluation content can be displayed together, the content of the echo itself can be easily grasped.

  In addition, the second screen (FIG. 7, etc.) output by the information providing apparatus 10 displays a plurality of types of attribute values for each corner of one program in the broadcast order, and a predetermined quantitative evaluation value for each corner is displayed. The attribute estimated to be the first factor that increased or decreased from the immediately preceding corner is shown. With such a second screen, it is possible to easily grasp the first factor (estimation result) that the evaluation value has increased or decreased. In such a case, for example, the attribute of each corner that should be emphasized when reorganizing the program can be easily grasped. As a result, the program can be efficiently improved.

  In addition, the third screen (such as FIG. 8) output by the information providing apparatus 10 displays a list of a plurality of types of attribute values related to the corners of a program broadcast on each of a plurality of broadcast channels at a certain timing, and The attribute which is estimated to be the first factor that the predetermined quantitative evaluation value for each corner increases or decreases from the immediately preceding corner is shown in FIG. According to such a third screen, it is possible to easily grasp the viewing situation (increase/decrease in evaluation value, its factor, qualitative evaluation, etc.) of the back program. As a result, the viewing situation of a certain program can be evaluated by comparison with the back program.

Hereinafter, an example of the reference mode will be additionally described.
