It is a schematic block diagram which shows an example of the structure of the e-learning system (the distribution / provision system of learning contents) which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention. It is a schematic diagram which shows an example of the content selection screen provided to the user side terminal side in Embodiment 1. FIG.

Hereinafter, the e-learning system (system for distributing / providing learning content) according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. This embodiment is a system in which a user (learner) who watches learning content is provided with the content free of charge and points are given according to the amount of learning. For users, the content can be learned for free, and the more they learn, the more points they will receive. The points given can be used on EC sites and the like.

Maintenance costs such as operation of the e-learning system, content production costs, and point costs given to users according to this embodiment are covered by sponsor fees (advertising fees) from a plurality of sponsor companies. The learning content is devised to be a promotion of the sponsor company. For example, in the case of English TOEIC preparation content, the English text used is produced so as to be related to the sponsor company or its products or services (asking questions as such). When such learning content is viewed by a large number of users, the sponsor company or its product or service becomes widely known, so that the sponsor company can use it as an advertising tool for its own company or its product or service. It will work.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a content providing system with a point-giving function according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, 100 is a content provider side server that distributes a plurality of contents such as learning contents to a large number of users via the Internet, 200 is a network such as the Internet or a mobile phone network, and 300 is connected to the network 200. Each user-side terminal (personal computer, tablet terminal, smartphone, etc.), 400 is a sponsor-side device such as a personal computer provided on the sponsor company side.

Further, in FIG. 1, 1 is a learning content database provided in the content provider side server 100 and records a plurality of learning contents and the number of remaining points corresponding to each content, and 2 is information from the sponsor side device 400. Based on the above, information about each sponsor (for example, the amount of the sponsor fee or advertising fee from each sponsor, information about the ID, title, outline, etc. of the content corresponding to the sponsor fee) is received from the sponsor side device 400, or It is a sponsor-related information acquisition unit that acquires the above information by inputting it on the content provider side.

Further, in FIG. 1, 3 sets or calculates the number of points to be given to the content based on the sponsor fee or the like (using the sponsor fee as one material) based on the information from the sponsor-related information acquisition unit 2. The content-specific point calculation unit 4 that transmits information about the set or calculated number of points to the content database 1 and records it is based on the information from the content database 1 and the title and outline of each content and the content. Image providing unit 5 that sends a content selection screen showing the number of remaining points given to the viewer or an image (including characters, graphs, etc.) of the content selected by each user to each user side terminal 300 side. Is a content selection receiving unit that receives content selection information for selecting one content from a plurality of contents transmitted from each user-side terminal 300 and transmits the content selection receiving unit 6 to the user-specific point increase / decrease unit 6 and the image providing unit 4 described later. 6 calculates the number of points given to each user at the start of content viewing based on the information from the content selection receiving unit 5, and adds the number of points owned by the user (and the points owned by the user). When the content is consumed on an EC site, etc., the number of points owned is subtracted.) This is the point increase / decrease section for each user.

Further, in FIG. 1, when a user who is watching a certain learning content answers a question in the learning content, it is determined whether or not the answer is correct, and if it is a correct answer, information indicating that fact. Is a correct answer determination unit that transmits the above point increase / decrease unit 6 and the content database 1. In this case, the point increase / decrease unit 6 grants or adds a predetermined point to the user based on the information from the correct answer determination unit 7 (and the user consumes a part of the possessed points on the EC site or the like. In such cases, the number of points held will be partially subtracted).

Further, in FIG. 1, 8 calculates and obtains the total number of users (number of simultaneous viewers) who are simultaneously viewing each content based on the information from the content database 1 and the like, and determines the number of simultaneous viewers. It is a unit for calculating the number of simultaneous viewers to be transmitted to the image providing unit 4. Based on the information from the simultaneous viewer number calculation unit 8, the image providing unit 4 sets the number of simultaneous viewers of each content at a predetermined position in the content selection screen displayed on the user-side terminal 300, or the content. It is displayed at a predetermined place in the viewing screen of.

Further, in FIG. 1, in FIG. 9, after the number of remaining points given / added by viewing a certain content becomes zero due to being viewed by a large number of users, the content-specific point calculation unit 3 is the sponsor. When a new number of points is set or added for the content based on new sponsor-related information (information such as the sponsor of the content adding a new sponsorship fee) from the related information acquisition unit 2, it is given by viewing the content, etc. It is a point restart notification unit that notifies each user of the restart or addition of the remaining points to be performed (for example, by mail or screen of the site). The content of the notification such as the resumption of the number of remaining points is transmitted from the point resumption notification unit 9 to the image providing unit 4, and is provided in the screen provided by the image providing unit 4 to each user (for example, the content selection screen). It may be notified in (inside or in the content viewing screen). In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 is a network of various information between the image providing unit 4, the content selection receiving unit 5, the correct answer determination unit 7, the point restart notification unit 9, and the user-side terminal 300. It is a transmission / reception unit for transmitting / receiving via 200.

Next, the main operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 shows an example of the content selection screen 20 displayed on each user-side terminal 300 based on the information transmitted from the image providing unit 4 (see FIG. 1) in the present embodiment.

FIG. 2 is an example of a content selection screen 20 displayed on the terminal screen when a user opens his / her own e-learning system My Page (see reference numeral 21). On the left side of the content selection screen 20, the user's ID or name, etc. 22, the score obtained by e-learning so far 23, and the total points held by the user by viewing the content so far, etc. The number (the number of points that can be exchanged on the EC site or the like) 24 and the like are displayed.

In the present embodiment, most of the contents provided by the content providing server 100 (see FIG. 1) are created by using the sponsor fee (advertising fee) from the sponsor company. That is, in the present embodiment, each of many contents is produced so that at least a part of the contents functions as an advertisement of the sponsor company that contributed the sponsor fee. For example, when a company pays a sponsorship fee for content for learning English, the sponsorship fee is used as a fund to produce content related to the business of the sponsor company. For example, when a sponsor company manufactures and sells health foods, the content of English learning content is produced as a dietary habit for maintaining health. At the same time, the number of points given to each user by viewing the content is also set based on the sponsor fee.

On the content selection screen 20 for the user to select which content among the plurality of learning contents to be viewed, as shown on the right side of the figure, a plurality of contents (past viewing history of the user). Information about information (such as content recommended for the user from the above), for example, each title name 32 of them, each sponsor name 33 of them, the number of remaining points indicating the remaining points that can be given to each user by viewing them, etc. (Or the ratio / percentage of the remaining number of points obtained by subtracting the number of points granted to a large number of users so far to the total number of points that can be initially granted) 34, 36 are displayed.

Here, the number of remaining points (or the ratio / percentage of the number of remaining points) 34, 36 will be described. As described above, the points given by viewing each learning content in the present embodiment are created by the sponsor fee. However, since the number of points that can be entrusted from the sponsor company is limited, it is not possible to give points to users (learners) indefinitely. It is necessary to stop the granting (providing) when the total number of predetermined grant points is used up for each content. Therefore, from the user's (learner's) point of view, how many distributable points remain for each content can be important reference information when the user selects the content. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the number of remaining points (or ratio / percentage) 34,36 is displayed in real time on e-learning. In the screen example of FIG. 2, the number of remaining points (or percentage / percentage) is displayed as a number or a bar graph on the content selection menu screen as shown by the symbols 34 and 36, but the display form thereof is as follows. Various things such as other images are possible.

Further, on the content selection screen 20 in FIG. 2, the number of users who are currently viewing each content, that is, the number of simultaneous viewers 35 is also displayed. In this way, the reason why the number of simultaneous viewers 35 is displayed on the content selection screen 20 is that the total number of users learning at the same time (number of simultaneous viewers) can be given by viewing the content. This is because it has a great influence on the consumption speed (that is, the decrease speed) of the number of points, and can be important reference information when deciding which content each user selects. In addition, such display of the number of simultaneous viewers can be a motivation for the user to select the content because it is inferred that the content having a large number of simultaneous viewers is the popular and high-quality content. It can also be a motivation for sponsor companies to add sponsorship fees. Furthermore, since the number of remaining points distributed from viewing the content, etc., decreases rapidly for content with a large number of simultaneous viewers, the user should finish viewing the content as soon as possible because of the motivation to earn points. It also has the effect of stimulating and enhancing learning motivation, such as trying to clear it.

Further, in the present embodiment, when all of the points that were originally planned to be distributed for a certain content are distributed to a large number of users who have viewed the content, and as a result, the number of remaining points that can be distributed becomes zero. Displays the remaining number of distributable points as zero (or 0%) on the content selection screen 20 in FIG. 2 (see sign 36 in FIG. 2). However, even if the distribution points are used up and the number of remaining points becomes zero, the distribution points may be additionally set by the sponsor company providing an additional sponsor fee. And, among the users, there are some users who watch if there is a remaining number of points that can be distributed, but do not watch if not. For such a user, when the sponsor company additionally provides the sponsor fee and the number of remaining points that can be distributed is added as described above, the sponsor company can be notified by e-mail or the like or on the content selection screen 20. And convenient. Therefore, in the present embodiment, once the remaining number of points that can be distributed for a certain content becomes zero, the "notify by e-mail when restarted" button 37 is displayed on the selection screen by transmitting information from the content providing server 100 side. It was made to be displayed on 20. Further, at this time, the user can send an instruction to notify the content providing server 100 side by pressing the "notify by e-mail when restarting" button 37 on the selection screen 20. If the user presses the button 37, a notification indicating that points are added / replenished from the sponsor side is sent to the user side later. Further, for the content providing server 100 or the sponsor company, the total number of users who press the button 37 knows the popularity of the content, and additionally provides a sponsor fee for the content to replenish the number of remaining points that can be distributed. -It can also be reference information for deciding whether to add.

Further, although not shown in FIG. 2, in the present embodiment, when the user is viewing the learning content, the user sends an answer to the question posed in the learning content to the content providing server 100. When the answer is a correct answer, as shown in FIG. 1, the correct answer determination unit 7 transmits information indicating that fact to the user-specific point increase / decrease unit 6, and the user-specific point increase / decrease unit 6 sends the information. A predetermined point is given to the user based on the above. The number of points given when the correct answer is given is preset according to the difficulty level of each question given in each content.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the content selection screen information that displays the number of remaining points that can be distributed to the user side by viewing each content in association with the plurality of contents is transmitted to the user side, and the user. On the side, the content to be viewed can be selected based on the content selection screen 20. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the user can select a content suitable for himself / herself from a plurality of contents while referring to the number of remaining points that can be distributed to the user side by viewing each content or the like. .. Further, in the present embodiment, when the content selected by the user is viewed by the user, the user-specific point increase / decrease unit 6 determines the progress of the viewed content, the amount of the viewed content, or the said. A predetermined point (point that can be consumed or used as a transaction / exchange means of a product or service on an EC site or the like) is given or added to each user based on the viewing time of the content, and the image providing unit 4 Since the information 24 (FIG. 2) of the number of points increased / decreased for each user is displayed on the user side terminal 300, each user can always reliably and easily check the number of remaining points that he / she currently has. You will be able to know.

Further, in the present embodiment, the content-specific point calculation unit 3 uses the sponsor fee or advertising fee from one or more sponsor companies or information on the corresponding content as one material (basic) for each content. Since the number of points that can be distributed to the user is set or calculated for each user, content distribution can be free or low due to the sponsorship fee (advertising fee) from the company, and such free or low amount. Even when the content is distributed by, it is possible to eliminate the inconvenience such as forcing the user to watch the corporate advertisement for a certain period of time as in the past, and further, the content itself to be distributed and provided in this way is advertised by the company or the like. You will be able to use it as a tool.

Further, in the present embodiment, the content-specific point calculation unit 3 sets or calculates the sponsor fee from the sponsor side as one material (basic), and the number of remaining points that can be distributed for each content (viewing of the content). Information indicating the ratio / percentage of the current number of remaining points that can be distributed to the number of remaining points that can be distributed at the beginning of the provision of the content) (See reference numerals 34 and 36 in FIG. 2) and the like in the content selection screen 20 for the user to select one of a plurality of contents, or in the viewing screen when the user is viewing the contents. Since it is displayed on the user side, the user can distribute each content when selecting any content from multiple contents or when viewing any content. Content that suits you while referring to information that indicates the number of points or information that indicates the ratio / percentage of the current number of remaining points to the number of remaining points that can be distributed at the beginning of the content provision (reference numerals 34 and 36 in FIG. 2). Will be able to select.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the correct answer determination unit 7 determines that the answer transmitted by the user to the question in the learning content being viewed is a correct answer, the correct answer determination unit 7 is based on the information from the correct answer determination unit 7. Since the point increase / decrease unit 6 for each user adds a predetermined point to the user side, it is possible to further strengthen the motivation for the user side to watch the learning content and answer the question in it. can.

Further, in the present embodiment, the number of simultaneous viewers who are currently simultaneously viewing each content by the simultaneous viewer number display unit 8 is displayed on the content selection screen 20 (or when the user is viewing the content). Since it is displayed on the user side (in the viewing screen) (see reference numeral 35 in FIG. 2), the user selects any content from a plurality of contents or when viewing the content. , The speed of consumption of points obtained from viewing the content, etc. (the speed at which the total number of remaining points given to each user by viewing the content, etc. decreases due to the viewing, etc. of other multiple viewing users). It can be easily guessed, and with reference to it, it is possible to appropriately decide whether to select viewing of the content (or continue viewing the content, etc.).
