For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may estimate the user's emotions based on the sensor information regarding the user's stride length, amplitude, and the like. Further, for example, the information processing apparatus 100 may estimate the user's emotion by using biological information such as the user's heartbeat and blood pressure, image information obtained by capturing the user's face, and the like. The above is an example, and the information processing apparatus 100 may estimate the user's emotions by any method as long as it can be estimated. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may estimate the user's emotions based on the tone of the user's utterance (sound tone) or the like. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may presume that the user's emotion is a positive emotion of joy or enjoyment when the tone (sound tone) of the user's utterance is high. For example, when the tone (sound tone) of the user's utterance is weak, the information processing apparatus 100 may presume that the user's emotion is a negative emotion of anger or sadness. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may presume that the user's emotion is a positive emotion of joy or enjoyment when the number or amount of products purchased by the user is equal to or more than a predetermined threshold value. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may presume that the user's emotions are negative emotions of anger or sadness when the number or amount of products purchased by the user is less than a predetermined threshold value.

For example, the context information may include information indicating whether the temperature corresponds to high temperature, medium temperature, or low temperature. For example, the context information includes information indicating whether the temperature corresponds to the average temperature of high (+ 5 ° C or higher), medium (less than ± 5 ° C), or low (-5 ° C or lower, etc.). May be included. For example, the context information may include information indicating whether the atmospheric pressure corresponds to high, medium, or low. For example, in the context information, the atmospheric pressure is high (+1 hectopascal or more, etc.), medium (less than ± 1 hectopascal), low (-1 hectopascal or less, etc.) with respect to the atmospheric pressure immediately before (for example, 10 minutes ago, 1 hour ago, etc.). ) May be included. For example, the context information may include information about the operation content. For example, the context information may include various information such as information indicating what kind of operation (push notification) is performed, information indicating a category of notification content, and information indicating whether or not the application is an appetizer. The above is an example, and the context information may include various information, not limited to the above.

The information processing apparatus 100 has an element of context information (also referred to as “first element”) related to content distribution and an element of content information (“first element”) based on the context information related to content distribution and the content information related to content. It is an information processing device that generates relational information indicating a combination with "second element"). The information processing device 100 is a generation device that generates relationship information indicating a combination of the first element and the second element based on the context information and the content information. In the example of FIG. 1, the information processing apparatus 100 uses a model including feature quantities related to the first element and the second element to generate relational information indicating a combination with the first element and the second element. The information processing apparatus 100 uses a model for predicting profitability in the distribution of contents to generate relational information indicating a combination with the first element and the second element. The profitability in the distribution of the content referred to here may be various as long as there is a possibility that the distribution of the content will bring profit (profit) to a predetermined entity. The profitability in the distribution of the content may be the profitability of any entity as long as it is the entity related to the distribution of the content. For example, the profitability in the distribution of the content may indicate the profit obtained by the provider of the product by the user purchasing the product related to the distributed content. For example, it is presumed that the longer the user browses the content, the more likely it is that an action that brings profit (profit) to a predetermined entity such as the purchase of the user related to the content will occur, so that the profitability in the distribution of the content is high. May indicate how long the user browses the delivered content. That is, the information processing apparatus 100 uses a model that predicts the user's behavior with respect to the content to generate relational information indicating a combination with the first element and the second element. Further, the information processing apparatus 100 generates a model for predicting the opening probability of the content as in the model M11 shown in FIG. 11, and uses the model to generate relationship information indicating a combination with the first element and the second element. May be generated.

The information processing device 100 is different from the predetermined area based on the operation information indicating the presence or absence of the predetermined operation of the push-notified content in the terminal device 10 used by the user located in the predetermined area. This is an information processing device that generates predictive information that predicts the presence or absence of a predetermined operation of the user for the content when the content is push-notified to the terminal device 10 used by the user located in the area of. For example, the information processing device 100 acquires various information such as behavior information including position information from the terminal device 10. Further, for example, the information processing apparatus 100 acquires various information such as open data from the information providing apparatus 50.

From here, an example of information processing by the information processing apparatus 100 (see FIG. 3) will be described with reference to FIG. First, the map information MP1 shown in FIG. 1 will be briefly described. The map information MP1 shown in FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically showing an area or the like included in a predetermined range. For example, the map information MP1 is a diagram for schematically showing the status of push notification to the terminal device 10 to the A area and the B area.

In the example of FIG. 1, the information processing apparatus 100 pushes notification of a predetermined content to the terminal apparatus 10 used by a certain user, and acquires information indicating that the content has been opened by the user (step S1-1). For example, the information processing device 100 indicates that a predetermined content (for example, content CT11 or the like) is push-notified to the terminal device 10 used by the user U1 (see FIG. 4) located in the A area, and the user U1 opens the package. Get information. As described above, when "user U * (* is an arbitrary numerical value)" is described, it means that the user is a user identified by the user ID "U *". For example, when "user U1" is described, the user is a user identified by the user ID "U1".

For example, the information processing apparatus 100 push-notifies the terminal device 10 used by the user U1 located in the partial area LC1-1 of the A area, and acquires information indicating that the predetermined content has been opened by the user U1. .. The partial area LC1-1 may be an area within a predetermined range in the area A. The partial area LC1-1 may be one position information representing the range of the partial area LC1-1. For example, the partial area LC1-1 may be the position information of the center within the range of the partial area LC1-1. Further, the partial area LC1-1 may be a combination of the position information of the center within the range of the partial area LC1-1 and the information indicating the range from the center (for example, within 100 m). Further, the partial area LC1-1 may be a list of positions within the range of the partial area LC1-1. Further, in the example of FIG. 1, the information processing apparatus 100 acquires information indicating that the content (content CT11) notified in step S1-1 has been viewed by the user during the time RTM1 after opening (step S2). ). For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may acquire information indicating that the content notified in step S1-1 has been displayed on the user's terminal apparatus 10 during the time RTM 1 after opening.

The information processing device 100 is not limited to the content delivered to the user, and may use information indicating the viewing time of the user of the entire content group having a predetermined relationship with the content after the content is delivered. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 is not limited to the content CT11 delivered to the user U1, but uses information indicating the viewing time of the user U1 of the entire content group having a predetermined relationship with the content CT11 after the content CT11 is delivered. You may. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may use information indicating the browsing time of the user U1 of the entire content group of the site (site STX) to which the content CT11 belongs after the content CT11 is delivered to the user U1. That is, the information processing apparatus 100 may set the time (profitability) when the user browses the content group related to the site STX after the distribution of the content related to the site STX to the user as the target for generating the prediction information. In this case, for example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates forecast information for the profit (profitability) obtained by the business operator who operates the site STX by the user's behavior after the content related to the site STX is delivered to the user. May be.

For example, the information processing device 100 stores the information acquired from the terminal device 10 in the action information storage unit 123 (see FIG. 5). The information processing device 100 may provide the content to the terminal device 10, or another device may provide the content as long as the information processing device 100 can acquire the information used for generating the prediction information. .. For example, the content may be provided to the terminal device 10 by any device as long as the information processing device 100 can acquire the information used for generating the prediction information.

Further, in the example of FIG. 1, the information processing apparatus 100 is push-notified to the terminal apparatus 10 used by a certain user, and acquires information indicating that the predetermined content has not been opened by the user (step S1-2). .. For example, the information processing device 100 push-notifies the terminal device 10 used by the user U2 (see FIG. 4) located in the area A, and acquires information indicating that the predetermined content has not been opened by the user U2. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 obtains information indicating that the predetermined content is push-notified to the terminal apparatus 10 used by the user U2 located in the partial area LC1-2 of the A area and is not opened by the user U2. do.

In the example of FIG. 1, for the sake of simplicity, the user's operation related to the two push notifications in steps S1-1 and S1-2 is illustrated, but many users are located in the A area. It is assumed that the push notification (for example, 10 million times, etc.) is given, and the information processing apparatus 100 acquires action information such as operation information indicating whether or not the user has opened the notification in response to the push notification. Further, steps S1-1 and S1-2 are for explaining the process, and any of steps S1-1 and S1-2 may be performed first, and steps S1-1 and S1-2 are performed first. May be performed multiple times. Hereinafter, when steps S1-1 and S1-2 are described without distinction, they are collectively referred to as step S1.

Further, the information processing apparatus 100 generates a model used for generating prediction information based on the user's behavior information regarding the push notification acquired in step S1 (step S3). For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates a model that predicts the user's behavior with respect to the distributed content based on the behavior information of the first user in the A area. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates a model that predicts the behavior of the user to whom the content is delivered based on the behavior information of the first user in the area A. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates a model that predicts the user's behavior with respect to the delivered content based on the context information of the first user in the A area. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates a model that predicts how much the delivered content will be opened and viewed based on the context information. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates a model for predicting profitability in push notification based on various information stored in the open data storage unit 121, the user information storage unit 122, the action information storage unit 123, and the like. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 has a model that predicts the user's behavior with respect to the push-notified content based on various information stored in the open data storage unit 121, the user information storage unit 122, the action information storage unit 123, and the like. Generate.

For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates a model based on the environmental information of the area A stored in the open data storage unit 121. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates a model based on the user information of the user located in the A area stored in the user information storage unit 122. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates a model based on the behavior information of the user located in the A area stored in the behavior information storage unit 123. The information processing apparatus 100 generates a model by adding information about the content pushed to the user. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates a model including a feature amount having a category of contents pushed to the user as an element.

Here, the information processing apparatus 100 generates a model including each feature amount corresponding to each element. That is, the information processing apparatus 100 determines the feature amount of the model and learns the weight of each feature amount to generate the model. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may generate a model using a feature quantity that combines elements of context information by various conventional techniques such as a Kronecker product. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates a model including a feature quantity in which two or more elements are combined. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 determines a feature amount that combines elements of context information. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 determines a feature amount that combines elements between each category of context information.

For example, the information processing apparatus 100 is based on each combination of the element group EL1 corresponding to the context related to the distribution of the content and the element group EL2 corresponding to the content of the content such as the content category in the context information. Determine the feature amount. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 determines each combination of the first element of the element group EL1 and the second element of the element group EL2 as the feature amount of the model. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 is characterized by each combination of "cafe A" which is the first element of the element group EL1 and "soccer" and "entertainment" which are the second elements of the element group EL2. Determine the amount. Cafe A may be a cafe of a specific chain store or franchise store, or is more detailed among stores belonging to the cafe category such as "sports cafe", "dining cafe", "cat cafe", etc. It may be a cafe that belongs to a category (type).

In the example of FIG. 1, the information processing apparatus 100 corresponds to a feature amount # 1 corresponding to a combination of cafe A and soccer, a feature amount # 2 corresponding to a combination of cafe A and entertainment, and a combination of cafe A and economy. The feature amount # 3 or the like to be processed is determined as the feature amount of the model M1. Although not shown in the example of FIG. 1, the information processing apparatus 100 includes a feature amount # 4 corresponding to a combination of a baseball field and soccer, a feature amount # 5 corresponding to a combination of a convenience store and soccer, and a cafe A. And various feature quantities such as feature quantity # 11 corresponding to the combination of baseball, feature quantity # 12 corresponding to the combination of cafe A and tennis, feature quantity # 13 corresponding to the combination of cafe A and politics, etc. are modeled. The feature amount of M1 is determined.

Further, the feature amount included in the model is not limited to the combination of elements, and the information processing apparatus 100 may generate a model including the feature amount corresponding to only one element of the context information. The information processing apparatus 100 may generate a model including a feature quantity in which three or more various elements are combined. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may generate a model including a feature amount corresponding to only the element "cafe A" or a feature amount corresponding to only the element "soccer". The combination of the above elements is an example, and may be various combinations such as a combination between elements in the element group EL1. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 includes context element list information of elements related to the context such as "cafe A" and "morning" stored in the storage unit 120 (see FIG. 3), "soccer", "entertainment", and "economy". , "Baseball" and the like, the combination may be determined by using the content element list information of the element related to the content. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may generate information indicating each combination by combining the first element selected from the context element list information and the second element selected from the content element list information. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may determine tens of millions or hundreds of millions of features as features to be included in the model M1.

For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may generate a model that predicts the user's behavior with respect to the push-notified content, using the information when the push-notified content is opened as correct answer information (correct example). For example, the information processing apparatus 100 pushes various context information such as user user information, user position information, user behavior information, and user environment information when the push-notified content is opened as correct answer information. You may generate a model that predicts the user's behavior with respect to the notified content. For example, when the user U1 opens the push-notified content in the partial area LC1-1, the information processing apparatus 100 includes user information of the user U1, position information of the user U1, behavior information of the user U1, and environmental information of the user U1. Various context information such as, etc. may be used as correct answer information to generate a model for predicting the user's behavior with respect to the push-notified content. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates the model M1 by using the context information regarding the distribution of the content to the user U1. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates the model M1 by using the information about the content delivered to the user U1. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates the model M1 by using the information about the content CT11 delivered to the user U1. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates the model M1 by using the information indicating the category of the content delivered to the user U1. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates the model M1 by using the content information indicating that the category of the content delivered to the user U1 is "soccer".

In the example of FIG. 1, when the content is opened, the information processing apparatus 100 is set to any of a plurality of levels indicating the degree of the user's behavior regarding profitability based on the viewing time of the user's content after opening the content. Determine the level of user behavior in each delivery as appropriate.

For example, when the browsing time of the user's content is less than 5 seconds, the information processing apparatus 100 predicts by learning to output a score "1" with the level of the user's behavior in the distribution as level LV1. Generate a model to do. For example, in the information processing apparatus 100, when the time RTM1 which is the viewing time of the user U1 shown in FIG. 1 is a predetermined time of less than 5 seconds (for example, 3 seconds), the context information for distribution to the user U1 is input. In this case, a predictive model is generated by learning to output a score “1”.

Further, for example, when the browsing time of the user's content is 5 seconds or more and less than 1 minute, the information processing apparatus 100 learns to output a score "2" with the level of the user's behavior in the distribution as level LV2. By doing so, a model to predict is generated. For example, in the information processing apparatus 100, when the time RTM1 which is the viewing time of the user U1 shown in FIG. 1 is a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) of 5 seconds or more and less than 1 minute, the context information in the delivery to the user U1 is When input, a predictive model is generated by learning to output a score "2".

Further, for example, when the user's content viewing time is 1 minute or more and less than 5 minutes, the information processing apparatus 100 learns to output a score "3" with the level of the user's behavior in the distribution as level LV3. By doing so, a model to predict is generated. For example, in the information processing apparatus 100, when the time RTM1 which is the viewing time of the user U1 shown in FIG. 1 is a predetermined time (for example, 2 minutes) of 1 minute or more and less than 5 minutes, the context information in the delivery to the user U1 is When input, a predictive model may be generated by learning to output a score of "3". The above is an example, and the information processing apparatus 100 may use various levels, and the information processing apparatus 100 may generate a model for predicting various profitability, not limited to the viewing time.

Further, for example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates a model for predicting the user's behavior with respect to the push-notified content by using the information when the push-notified content is not opened as incorrect answer information (negative example). May be good. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 predicts by learning to output a score "0" with the level of the user's behavior in the distribution as level LV0 when the user does not open the content. To generate. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may generate a model for predicting by learning to output a score "0" when context information is input when the push-notified content is not opened. good.

For example, the information processing apparatus 100 uses various context information such as user user information, user position information, user behavior information, and user environment information when the push-notified content is not opened as incorrect answer information. , May generate a model that predicts the user's behavior with respect to the push-notified content. For example, when the user U2 does not open the push-notified content in the partial area LC1-2, the information processing apparatus 100 may use the user information of the user U2, the position information of the user U2, the action information of the user U2, or the user U2. Various context information such as environment information may be used as incorrect answer information to generate a model for predicting the user's behavior with respect to the push-notified content. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates the model M1 by using the context information regarding the distribution of the content to the user U2. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates the model M1 by using the information about the content delivered to the user U2. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates the model M1 by using the information about the content CT11 delivered to the user U2. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates the model M1 by using the information indicating the category of the content delivered to the user U2. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates the model M1 by using the content information indicating that the category of the content delivered to the user U2 is "soccer".

In the example of FIG. 1, the information processing apparatus 100 generates model information of the model M1 as shown in the model information MD. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates the model M1 as shown in the model information storage unit 125 (see FIG. 7).

The model M1 shown in the model information storage unit 125 in FIG. 7 has each feature amount (feature amount) such as "feature amount # 1 (cafe A x soccer)" to "feature amount # 3 (cafe A x economy)". Each weight (value) is stored in association with each other. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 7, the model information regarding the model M1 has a weight of "0.5" for the feature amount # 1 corresponding to the combination of cafe A and soccer, and the feature amount # corresponding to the combination of cafe A and entertainment. It is shown that the weight of 2 is "-0.1", the weight of the feature quantity # 3 corresponding to the combination of cafe A and the economy is "0.2", and the like. It should be noted that the generation of each model may be performed by appropriately using various conventional techniques related to machine learning. For example, the model may be generated by using a technique related to machine learning of supervised learning such as SVM (Support Vector Machine). It should be noted that the description regarding the generation of the above model is an example, and the generation of the model may be performed by a learning method appropriately selected according to the information that can be acquired and the like. In this way, the information processing apparatus 100 generates the model M1 by learning the weights of each feature amount such as the feature amount # 1 to the feature amount # 3 of the model M1.

For example, the information processing apparatus 100 receives context information related to content distribution as input, and generates a model M1 that outputs a score based on the input. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 takes context information as an input, and generates a model M1 that outputs a score indicating the possibility of an action on the delivered content by the user corresponding to the input context information. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 takes context information as an input and generates a model M1 that outputs a score indicating the level of the user's behavior (profitability) in the distribution of the content corresponding to the input context information. As shown in the model M11 of FIG. 11, the information processing apparatus 100 may generate a model as the model M1 that outputs a score indicating the probability that the user to whom the content is delivered performs the opening operation action.

Then, the information processing apparatus 100 generates the relational information indicating the combination with the first element and the second element based on the generated model M1 (step S4). In the example of FIG. 1, the information processing apparatus 100 provides relationship information indicating the correspondence between the combination of the first element and the second element and the degree of relationship between the user's opening behavior with respect to the content, based on the generated model M1. Generate. Based on the generated model M1, the information processing apparatus 100 provides related information indicating the degree of relationship between the first element corresponding to the context regarding the distribution of the content and the second element corresponding to the content and the browsing behavior of the user with respect to the content. Generate.

For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates relational information indicating the degree of relation with a predetermined behavior of the user with respect to the content based on the weight of each feature amount of the model M1. The information processing apparatus 100 generates relational information by selecting a feature amount whose corresponding weight satisfies a predetermined condition from each feature amount of the model M1. The information processing apparatus 100 generates relational information by selecting a feature amount whose absolute value of the corresponding weight is larger than a predetermined threshold value among the feature amounts of the model M1. In the example of FIG. 1, the information processing apparatus 100 generates relational information by selecting a feature amount whose absolute value of the corresponding weight is larger than the threshold value “0.3” from each feature amount of the model M1. The threshold value is not limited to "0.3" and may be set as appropriate. Further, for example, in the information processing apparatus 100, among the feature quantities of the model M1, the relational information in which the relational information corresponding to each feature quantity is ranked is higher so that the feature quantity having the larger absolute value of the weight has a higher rank. Generate. Then, the information processing apparatus 100 stores the generated relational information in the relational information storage unit 127.

The “target behavior” in the relational information storage unit 127 of FIG. 1 indicates a predetermined behavior of the target user. Further, the "ranking" in the relational information storage unit 127 of FIG. 1 indicates the ranking of the degree of relation of each relational information with the target behavior. The "relationship information ID" in the relational information storage unit 127 of FIG. 1 indicates information for identifying the relational information. The "weight" in the relational information storage unit 127 of FIG. 1 indicates the weight of the feature amount corresponding to the relational information. “Element # 1” to “element # 3” and the like in the relational information storage unit 127 of FIG. 1 indicate elements of feature quantities corresponding to the relational information.

The relationship information storage unit 127 of FIG. 1 shows that the target action is an action for the user's content. For example, it indicates that the target action is an action such as opening the content of the user. Further, the relational information (relationship information ST1) identified by the relational information ID "ST1" corresponds to the feature amount having a weight of "0.5", the element # 1 is "cafe A", and the element # 2 is. Indicates that it is "soccer". That is, the relationship information ST1 corresponds to the feature amount # 1 of the model M1.

As described above, in the example of FIG. 1, in the information processing apparatus 100, among the feature quantities of the model M1, the feature quantity # 1 has the largest absolute value of the weight, so that the order of the relational information ST1 corresponding to the feature quantity # 1. Is decided to be the first place. The information processing apparatus 100 generates related information indicating that the combination of the elements "cafe A" and "soccer" of the feature amount # 1 among the feature amounts of the model M1 is related to the user's behavior such as opening the content. do. In the information processing device 100, since the weight of the relation information ST1 of the combination of the elements "cafe A" and "soccer" is a positive value, when the place is "cafe A" and the content category is "soccer", It can be estimated that the user is likely to take action on the content.

Further, the information processing apparatus 100 has the feature amount corresponding to the combination of the elements "morning" and "entertainment" among the feature amounts of the model M1 because the absolute value of the weight is the second largest after the feature amount # 1. The ranking of the related information ST2 corresponding to is determined to be the second place. In the information processing device 100, since the weight of the relation information ST2 of the combination of the elements "morning" and "entertainment" is a negative value, when the time is "morning" and the content category is "entertainment", the user It can be estimated that it is unlikely to take action on the content.

The information processing apparatus 100 may generate relational information by selecting a feature amount in which the weight of the feature amount is larger than the threshold value, instead of the absolute value of the weight of the feature amount. In this case, the information processing apparatus 100 generates related information indicating that the element of the feature amount having a large weight affects the user's behavior such as opening the content.

Then, the information processing apparatus 100 provides the content to the user based on the generated relationship information. First, the information processing apparatus 100 determines a user (target user) to be provided with the content (step S5). In the example of FIG. 1, the information processing apparatus 100 determines the user U3 located in the store SP1 which is the cafe A in the B area as the target user. The information processing apparatus 100 determines the user U3, which is a second user, located in the B area, which is an area other than the A area, as the target user.

Then, the information processing apparatus 100 determines the content to be provided to the user U3 who is the target user based on the generated relationship information. The information processing apparatus 100 selects the relational information in which the element related to the place is "cafe A", "cafe", or the like, among the relational information stored in the relational information storage unit 127. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 selects a predetermined number (for example, 5 or 10) of related information from the one having the highest rank among the related information whose elements related to the place are "cafe A", "cafe", and the like. In the example of FIG. 1, the information processing apparatus 100 selects the relational information ST1 including the element "cafe A", the relational information ST4, and the like in order from the highest rank.

Here, since the weight of the selected relationship information ST1 is a positive value, the information processing apparatus 100 distributes the content of the category "soccer" to the user located in the target place "cafe A", and the content is the content. It is estimated that it is likely to be opened. Further, since the information processing device 100 has a negative value in the weight of the selected relationship information ST4, when the content of the category "baseball" is distributed to the user located in the place "cafe A", the content can be opened. It is estimated that the sex is low. Therefore, the information processing apparatus 100 determines to provide the soccer-related content (soccer-related content CT31) to the user U3 located at the place "cafe A".

Then, the information processing apparatus 100 provides the soccer-related content CT31 to the user U3 (step S6). The information processing device 100 provides the soccer-related content CT 31 to the terminal device 10-3 used by the user U3. The information processing device 100 transmits the soccer-related content CT 31 to the terminal device 10-3 used by the user U3. The information processing device 100 distributes the soccer-related content CT 31 to the terminal device 10-3 used by the user U3.

As described above, the information processing apparatus 100 can appropriately generate information indicating the relationship between the context and the content regarding the distribution of the content by using the generated model M1. In the example of FIG. 1, the information processing apparatus 100 is a second user in the B area different from the A area by using the relational information generated by using the model M1 generated from the information of the first user in the A area. Appropriate content can be provided to the user U3.

[1-1. Information generation example]
Note that FIG. 1 is an example, and the information processing apparatus 100 may generate various information, not limited to the above. This point will be described below with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of information processing according to the embodiment. In FIG. 11, the same points as in FIG. 1 may be omitted as appropriate. In the example of FIG. 11, the information processing apparatus 100 (see FIG. 3) pushes to another area AR21 (area B) based on the action information such as the user's operation information regarding the push notification in the predetermined area AR11 (area A). The case of generating the prediction information about the notification is shown. In the example of FIG. 11, push notification is shown as an example as a form of content distribution, but content distribution may be in various modes. For example, the content distribution in the information processing system 1 is not limited to the push notification, and may be a so-called pull-type content distribution in which the content is requested from the terminal device 10.

For example, in the example of FIG. 11, the distribution information of the open rate of the push notification in the B area is accurately generated due to the lack of action information such as the actual user operation information regarding the push notification in the B area. Shows when it is difficult. For example, the push notification may be information output by the terminal device 10 regardless of the operation of the terminal device 10 by the user. For example, push notification may be to actively notify the user of predetermined information. Further, the opening rate referred to here indicates, for example, the rate at which the user has opened the push notification displayed on the terminal device 10. Further, the opening operation may be a predetermined operation of the user such as selection and designation for the push notification. For example, the opening operation may be a predetermined operation of the user for displaying the information related to the push notification on the terminal device 10. For example, in the example of FIG. 11, as shown in step S10, the number of notifications in the B area is assumed to be small. It should be noted that step S10 is for illustrating that the number of notifications in the B area is small, and may not be included in the processing procedure.

First, the map information MP1-1 to MP1-3 shown in FIG. 11 will be briefly described. The map information MP1-1 to MP1-3 shown in FIG. 11 is a diagram schematically showing an area or the like included in a predetermined range. For example, the map information MP1-1 is a diagram schematically showing the status of push notification to the terminal device 10 to the A area and the B area. Further, for example, the map information MP1-2 is a diagram for schematically showing distribution information of the opening rate of the push notification to the terminal device 10 in the A area. Further, for example, the map information MP1-3 is a diagram for schematically showing the prediction information of the opening rate of the push notification to the terminal device 10 in the B area. Further, the range (area) shown in the map information MP1-1 to MP1-3 is the same area. Further, in the following, when the map information MP1-1 to MP1-3 will be described without particular distinction, the map information MP1 will be described.

In the example of FIG. 11, the information processing device 100 push-notifies the terminal device 10 used by a user of the predetermined content, and acquires information indicating that the content has been opened by the user (step S11-1). For example, the information processing apparatus 100 indicates that a predetermined content (for example, content CT11 or the like) is push-notified to the terminal device 10 used by the user U1 (see FIG. 4) located in the A area, and the user U1 opens the package. Get information. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 push-notifies the terminal device 10 used by the user U1 located in the partial area LC1-1 of the A area, and acquires information indicating that the predetermined content has been opened by the user U1. .. The partial area LC1-1 may be an area within a predetermined range in the area A. Further, in the example of FIG. 11, the information processing apparatus 100 may acquire information indicating that the content (content CT11) notified in step S11-1 has been viewed by the user during the time RTM1 after opening. .. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may acquire information indicating that the content notified in step S11-1 has been displayed on the user's terminal apparatus 10 during the time RTM 1 after opening.

For example, the information processing device 100 stores the information acquired from the terminal device 10 in the action information storage unit 123 (see FIG. 5). The information processing device 100 may provide the content to the terminal device 10, or another device may provide the content as long as the information processing device 100 can acquire the information used for generating the prediction information. .. For example, the content may be provided to the terminal device 10 by any device as long as the information processing device 100 can acquire the information used for generating the prediction information.

Further, in the example of FIG. 11, the information processing apparatus 100 is push-notified to the terminal apparatus 10 used by a certain user, and acquires information indicating that the predetermined content has not been opened by the user (step S11-2). .. For example, the information processing device 100 push-notifies the terminal device 10 used by the user U2 (see FIG. 4) located in the area A, and acquires information indicating that the predetermined content has not been opened by the user U2. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 obtains information indicating that the predetermined content is push-notified to the terminal apparatus 10 used by the user U2 located in the partial area LC1-2 of the A area and is not opened by the user U2. do.

In the example of FIG. 11, for the sake of simplicity, the user's operation related to the two push notifications in steps S11-1 and S11-2 is illustrated, but many users are located in the A area. It is assumed that a push notification (for example, 10 million times, etc.) is given, and the information processing apparatus 100 acquires action information such as operation information indicating whether or not the user has opened the notification in response to the notification. Further, steps S11-1 and S11-2 are for explaining the process, and any of steps S11-1 and S11-2 may be performed first, and steps S11-1 and S11-2 are performed first. May be performed multiple times. Hereinafter, when steps S11-1 and S11-2 are described without distinction, they are collectively referred to as step S11.

Then, the information processing apparatus 100 generates distribution information based on action information such as operation information related to push notification (step S12). For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates distribution information by calculating the open rate of the content based on the operation information related to the push notification. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 stores the distribution information generated based on the operation information acquired in step S11 in the distribution information storage unit 124 (see FIG. 6). For example, the information processing apparatus 100 stores the distribution information with the area A as the aggregation target area in the distribution information storage unit 124.

The “aggregation target area” shown in the distribution information storage unit 124 in FIG. 6 indicates an area for which distribution information is collected. Further, the "distribution information" shown in the distribution information storage unit 124 in FIG. 6 indicates the distribution information collected for the aggregation target area. The "partial area" shown in the distribution information storage unit 124 in FIG. 6 indicates a partial area in the aggregation target area. The “number of pushes” shown in the distribution information storage unit 124 in FIG. 6 indicates the number of times a push notification is given to a user located in the corresponding partial area. Further, the "opening count" shown in the distribution information storage unit 124 in FIG. 6 indicates the number of times a user located in the corresponding partial area has opened the push notification. Further, the "opening rate (%)" indicates the rate (= number of opening / number of pushes x 100) that the user located in the corresponding partial area opened the push notification. For example, the "opening rate (%)" is a value of 0 to 100 (%). For example, the information processing apparatus 100 calculates the opening rate.

For example, in the example shown in the distribution information storage unit 124 in FIG. 6, the distribution information for the aggregation target area "A area" is "10000 (times)" for the user located in the partial area LC1-1 in the A area. Indicates that a push notification has been made. Further, for example, it indicates that the user located in the partial area LC1-1 has opened the push notification "2000 (times)". Further, for example, the opening rate of the user located in the partial area LC1-1 is "20 (%)" because it has been opened 2,000 times out of 10,000 notifications. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 calculates the opening rate of the user located in the partial area LC1-1 as "20% (= 2000/10000 * 100)".

The information processing apparatus 100 is not limited to the above, and the opening rate may be calculated based on various information. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may calculate the open rate of the user located in the partial area LC1-1 by using the score itself output by the model M11. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 calculates the average value of the scores output by the model M11 in which the context information of the content distribution in the partial area LC1-1 is input as the open rate of the user located in the partial area LC1-1. May be good. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 calculates the open rate of the user located in the partial area LC1-1 by dividing the total value of the scores output by the model M11 for the content distribution in the partial area LC1-1 by the number of outputs. You may. For example, in the information processing apparatus 100, the total value of the scores output by the model M11 for the content distribution in the partial area LC1-1 is "45 (= 0.2 + 0.5 + ...)", And the number of outputs is "100". In some cases, the open rate of the user located in the partial area LC1-1 may be calculated as "45% (= 45/100 * 100)".

In the example of FIG. 11, the information processing apparatus 100 generates the distribution information DM 11 having the area A as the aggregation target area. The distribution information DM11 shown in the A area of the map information MP1-2 in FIG. 11 shows the high and low of the opening rate in each partial area in a display mode like a heat map. In the example of FIG. 11, it is shown that the area where the hatching is darker, the higher the opening rate is. In the example of FIG. 11, the distribution information DM11 shows that the opening rate is high in the partial area LC1-1 or the like in the A area. Further, in the example of FIG. 11, the distribution information DM11 shows that the opening rate is low in the partial area LC1-2 or the like in the A area. That is, in the A area, the opening rate is high in the vicinity of the central portion thereof, and the opening rate decreases as the distance from the center increases.

Further, the information processing apparatus 100 generates a model used for generating prediction information based on action information such as operation information related to push notification acquired in step S11 (step S13). For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates a model that predicts whether or not to open the push notification based on the action information such as the operation information in the area A. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates a model that predicts a user's behavior (profitability) in distribution of content based on context information. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates a model that predicts whether or not the delivered content will be opened based on the context information. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates a model that predicts whether or not to open the push notification based on various information stored in the open data storage unit 121, the user information storage unit 122, the action information storage unit 123, and the like. .. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates a model based on the environmental information of the area A stored in the open data storage unit 121. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates a model based on the user information of the user located in the A area stored in the user information storage unit 122. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates a model based on the behavior information of the user located in the A area stored in the behavior information storage unit 123. Further, for example, the information processing apparatus 100 may generate a model by adding information about the content pushed to the user.

For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may generate a model for predicting whether or not to open the push notification, using the information when the push-notified content is opened as correct answer information (correct example). For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may generate the model M11 by learning to output the score "1" when the context information when the push-notified content is opened is input. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 pushes various context information such as user user information, user position information, user behavior information, and user environment information when the push-notified content is opened as correct answer information. You may generate a model that predicts whether to open the notification. For example, when the user U1 opens the push-notified content in the partial area LC1-1, the information processing apparatus 100 includes user information of the user U1, position information of the user U1, behavior information of the user U1, and environmental information of the user U1. Various context information such as, etc. may be used as correct answer information to generate a model for predicting whether or not to open the push notification.

Further, for example, the information processing apparatus 100 may generate a model for predicting whether or not to open the push notification, using the information when the push-notified content is not opened as incorrect answer information (negative example). .. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may generate the model M11 by learning to output the score "0" when the context information when the push-notified content is not opened is input. .. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 uses various context information such as user user information, user position information, user behavior information, and user environment information when the push-notified content is not opened as incorrect answer information. , May generate a model that predicts whether to open the push notification. For example, when the user U2 does not open the push-notified content in the partial area LC1-2, the information processing apparatus 100 may use the user information of the user U2, the position information of the user U2, the action information of the user U2, or the user U2. Various context information such as environment information may be used as incorrect answer information, and a model for predicting whether to open the push notification may be generated.

In the example of FIG. 11, the information processing apparatus 100 generates model information of the model M11 as shown in the model information MD. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates the model M11 as shown in the model information storage unit 125 (see FIG. 7). For example, the information processing apparatus 100 receives context information related to content distribution as input, and generates a model M11 that outputs a score based on the input. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 takes context information as an input, and generates a model M11 that outputs a score indicating the probability that the user performs a predetermined action in the distribution of the content corresponding to the input context information. In this case, the information processing apparatus 100 may use the score output by the model M11 as a value indicating the probability that the user performs a predetermined action. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may use the score output by the model M11 as a value indicating the opening probability of opening the content by the user. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 takes context information as an input, and generates a model M11 that outputs a score indicating the degree of possibility that the user performs a predetermined action in the distribution of the content corresponding to the input context information. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 takes context information as an input, and generates a model M11 that outputs a score indicating the degree (level) at which the user performs a predetermined action in the distribution of the content corresponding to the input context information.

For example, in the information processing apparatus 100, when the score output by the model M11 in which context information such as user information and environment information around the user is input is "0.7", the user opens the push notification. It may be determined that the probability of the information processing is "70% (= 0.7 * 100)". For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may associate a score in the range of 0 to 1 output by the model M11 with 0% to 100%. For example, in the information processing apparatus 100, when the score output by the model M11 to which the context information is input is "0", the probability that the user opens the push notification is "0% (= 0 * 100)". May be determined. For example, in the information processing apparatus 100, when the score output by the model M11 to which the context information is input is "1", the probability that the user opens the push notification is "100% (= 1 * 100)". May be determined.

Further, for example, when the model M11 outputs a value less than 0, that is, a negative score, the information processing apparatus 100 may associate the negative score with 0%. For example, even if the information processing apparatus 100 determines that the probability that the user opens the push notification is "0%" when the score output by the model M11 into which the context information is input is "-1". good. In this case, for example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates the model M11 by learning to output a score of 0 or less when the context information when the push-notified content is not opened is input. You may.

Further, for example, when the model M11 outputs a score having a value larger than 1, the information processing apparatus 100 may associate a score having a value larger than 1 with 100%. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may determine that the probability that the user opens the push notification is "100%" when the score output by the model M11 into which the context information is input is "3". .. In this way, the information processing apparatus 100 inputs the context information and generates a model M11 that outputs a score indicating the probability (degree) that the user performs a predetermined action in the distribution of the content corresponding to the input context information. May be good. In this case, for example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates the model M11 by learning to output a score of 1 or more when the context information when the push-notified content is opened is input. May be good. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may generate the model M11 by learning to output a score of 1 or more when context information is input according to the profit from the opened contents.

For example, the information processing apparatus 100 receives context information such as user information and surrounding environment information in which the user is located, and generates a model M11 that outputs a score based on the input. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 takes context information as an input and generates a model M11 that outputs a score based on the input. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 inputs context information such as user information and surrounding environment information in which the user is located, and the score output by the model M11 based on the input is a predetermined threshold value (for example, "0.5"). "Etc.) If it is the above, it may be determined that the user opens the content to be push-notified. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may store the generated model M11 in the model information storage unit 125 (see FIG. 7). The model M11 shown in FIG. 11 may be the same model as the model M1 shown in FIG. It should be noted that the generation of each model may be performed by appropriately using various conventional techniques related to machine learning. For example, the model may be generated by using a technique related to machine learning of supervised learning such as SVM (Support Vector Machine).

Then, the information processing apparatus 100 generates prediction information based on the generated model M11 (step S14). For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates prediction information by calculating the opening rate of the content based on the generated model M11. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates prediction information about the B area based on the model M11 and various information about the B area which is a prediction target area.

The information processing apparatus 100 acquires open data of the prediction target area. In the example of FIG. 11, the information processing apparatus 100 acquires the environmental information ED of the B area. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may acquire various information such as environmental information of the B area from the open data storage unit 121 (see FIG. 3).

Further, for example, the information processing apparatus 100 acquires user information located in the prediction target area. In the example of FIG. 11, the information processing apparatus 100 acquires the user information UD of the B area. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 acquires user information as shown in the user information storage unit 122 (see FIG. 4) and user behavior information as shown in the behavior information storage unit 123 (see FIG. 5).

For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may generate prediction information for the B area for a user whose position information stored in the user information storage unit 122 (see FIG. 4) corresponds to the B area. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates prediction information of the B area for the user U3 whose position information is the partial area LC2-1 in the B area, the user U4 whose position information is the partial area LC2-2 in the B area, and the like. You may.

For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may predict whether the user U3 will open the push notification by inputting context information such as the user information of the user U3 and the environment information of the user U3 into the model M11. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 inputs various information including the position information and action information of the user U3 into the model M11, and when the model M11 outputs a score less than a predetermined threshold value, the user U3 opens the push notification. It may be determined not to. In this case, the information processing apparatus 100 stores information indicating that the user U3 does not open the push notification in the storage unit 120 (see FIG. 3), or the push notification is performed once in the partial area LC2-1. The indicated information may be stored in the prediction information storage unit 126 (see FIG. 8).

Further, for example, the information processing apparatus 100 may predict whether the user U4 will open the push notification by inputting context information such as the user information of the user U4 and the environment information of the user U4 into the model M11. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 inputs various information including the position information and behavior information of the user U4 into the model M11, and when the model M11 outputs a score equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold value, the user U4 opens the push notification. Then, it may be determined. In this case, the information processing apparatus 100 stores information indicating that the user U4 opens the push notification in the storage unit 120, or indicates that the push notification is performed once in the partial area LC2-2 and is opened. Information may be stored in the prediction information storage unit 126 (see FIG. 8).

For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may generate prediction information for a user located in the B area at a predetermined time zone. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may generate prediction information corresponding to the B area in the morning for a user located in the B area in the morning time zone (6 o'clock to 10 o'clock). For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may generate prediction information corresponding to the B area at night for a user located in the B area during the night time zone (19:00 to 23:00).

As described above, the information processing apparatus 100 generates prediction information regarding the B area based on the model M11 and various information. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 stores the prediction information with the B area as the prediction target area in the prediction information storage unit 126.

The “prediction target area” shown in the prediction information storage unit 126 in FIG. 8 indicates an area that is a target for generating prediction information. Further, the "prediction information" shown in the prediction information storage unit 126 in FIG. 8 indicates the prediction information generated for the prediction target area. The “partial area” shown in the prediction information storage unit 126 in FIG. 8 indicates a partial area within the prediction target area. The “number of pushes” shown in the prediction information storage unit 126 in FIG. 8 indicates the number of times that the push notification is predicted to be performed to the user located in the corresponding partial area in the generation of the prediction information. Further, the "opening count" shown in the prediction information storage unit 126 in FIG. 8 indicates the number of times that the push notification is predicted to be opened by the user located in the corresponding partial area in the generation of the prediction information. Further, the "opening rate (%)" shown in the prediction information storage unit 126 in FIG. 8 is the ratio (= number of times of opening) that the user located in the corresponding partial area is predicted to open the push notification in the generation of the prediction information. / Number of pushes x 100) is shown. For example, the "opening rate (%)" is a value of 0 to 100 (%). For example, the information processing apparatus 100 calculates the open rate of the user.

For example, in the example shown in the prediction information storage unit 126 in FIG. 8, the prediction information about the prediction target area “B area” is “2000 (times)” for the user located in the partial area LC2-1 in the B area. Indicates that push notifications are expected to occur. Further, for example, it is shown that the user located in the partial area LC2-1 in the B area is expected to open the push notification "40 (times)". Further, for example, the opening rate of the user located in the partial area LC2-1 in the B area is predicted to be opened 40 times out of the 2,000 notifications, so that the opening rate is "2 (%)". Is shown. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 calculates the opening rate of the user located in the partial area LC2-1 as "2% (= 40/2000 * 100)".

In the example of FIG. 11, the information processing apparatus 100 generates the prediction information PM11 having the B area as the prediction target area. The prediction information PM11 shown in the B area of the map information MP1-3 in FIG. 11 shows the high and low of the opening rate in each partial area in a display mode like a heat map. In the example of FIG. 11, it is shown that the region where the hatching is darker, the higher the expected opening rate is. In the example of FIG. 11, the prediction information PM11 shows that the opening rate is high in the lower right partial area or the like in the B area. In the example of FIG. 11, the prediction information PM11 shows that the opening rate is slightly high in the partial area LC2-2 or the like in the B area. Further, in the example of FIG. 11, the prediction information PM11 shows that the opening rate is low in the partial area LC2-1 or the like in the B area. That is, in the B area, the opening rate is high in the vicinity of the lower right portion, and the opening rate decreases as the distance from the lower right portion increases.

As described above, the information processing apparatus 100 generates predictive information for predicting the open rate of the push notification for the B area where the actual result of the push notification is insufficient. As a result, the information processing apparatus 100 can accurately perform various services related to push notification even in the B area where the track record of push notification is insufficient. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 can generate distribution information using the information of an area where information can be easily collected, such as an area with a large population. On the other hand, it is difficult for the information processing apparatus 100 to generate distribution information using the information in an area where the amount of information that can be acquired is not sufficient due to a small population or the like. Therefore, the information processing apparatus 100 can generate the prediction information of the area where the information is insufficient by using the information of the area where the information is sufficient, so that the desired prediction can be made even for the area where the information is insufficient. As described above, the information processing apparatus 100 makes it possible to predict the presence or absence of a predetermined operation of the user in another area where the actual results can be sufficiently acquired, based on the information in the predetermined area where the actual results can be sufficiently acquired. be able to. Further, for example, the information processing apparatus 100 can generate predictive information indicating that the opening rate tends to be high in the vicinity where a specific POI is located. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 can generate prediction information or the like indicating that the open rate tends to be high in an area where there are many users with specific attributes. Further, for example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates prediction information according to a time zone even at the same position, so that prediction information indicating that the opening rate increases at the timing when a predetermined event is performed or the like can be obtained. Can be generated.

As described above, various predictions are possible based on the prediction information generated by the information processing apparatus 100. For example, when the information processing apparatus 100 generates prediction information based on a position (area or the like) and a time (time zone or the like), the generated prediction information makes it possible to predict the timing at which the opening rate increases in a certain area. .. For example, when the information processing apparatus 100 generates prediction information based on position (area, etc.) and time (time zone, etc.), the generated prediction information is in an area near a bus stop and at the timing when students gather. Therefore, it is possible to predict that the opening rate near the bus stop will increase. Further, the information processing apparatus 100 generates prediction information based on the position (area, etc.) and time (time zone, etc.), and the generated prediction information is used in the area near the bus stop and at the timing when students gather. Moreover, it is possible to predict that the opening rate near the bus stop will increase just before the bus arrives.

Further, for example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates prediction information based on the position (area, etc.) and time (time zone, etc.), and the generated prediction information is used to generate an area near the racetrack where an important race is held. Moreover, it is possible to predict that the opening rate in the vicinity of the racetrack will increase at the timing when an important race starts. Further, for example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates prediction information based on the position (area, etc.) and time (time zone, etc.), and the generated prediction information is used to generate an area near the racetrack where an important race is held. Moreover, it is possible to predict that the opening rate in the vicinity of the racetrack will increase at a predetermined timing (for example, 20 minutes before the start of the race) for an important race. Further, the information processing apparatus 100 may use such prediction information to charge a higher fee for advertisement distribution in the area during the time zone when the opening rate is high than in other time zones. Further, for example, the information processing apparatus 100 uses such prediction information to display a unit price on the advertisement space in the content to be distributed to the terminal apparatus 10 located in the area during the time period when the opening rate is high in the area. May be higher than at other times. The above is an example, and the information processing apparatus 100 may use the prediction information for various services.

For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may perform push notification based on the generated prediction information. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may give a push notification to a user located in a portion of the prediction information PM11 where the hatching is dark (lower right in the B area). Further, for example, the information processing apparatus 100 may provide the generated prediction information to an external information processing apparatus. For example, the information processing device 100 may provide prediction information to an external device that provides a content providing service.

[1-1-1. Generation of prediction information by simulation]
As described above, the information processing apparatus 100 shows a case where the information processing apparatus 100 generates prediction information based on context information such as behavior information of a user located in area B, which is a prediction target area, and surrounding environment information, and model M11. However, prediction information may be generated by a predetermined simulation. In this case, the storage unit 120 of the information processing apparatus 100 may include a simulator information storage unit (not shown) in which various information related to a predetermined simulator such as information about a virtual space is stored. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may generate prediction information based on the B area on the virtual space that reflects the context information of the flow of people in the B area and the features of the B area.

Further, the model information storage unit 125 of the information processing apparatus 100 may store a model (hereinafter, also referred to as “agent model”) applied to the agent in the simulation. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may generate a model to be applied to an agent in a simulation. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates a model based on the user's behavior information. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may generate an agent model based on the behavior information of the user in the area A. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates an agent model according to each attribute based on the user's behavior information. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may generate various agent models such as an agent model for a man in his twenties and an agent model for a woman in his twenties based on user behavior information. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may generate an agent model by adding various environmental information such as open data. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may store the generated agent model in the model information storage unit 125.

For example, even if the information processing apparatus 100 uses various information related to a predetermined simulator such as information about a virtual space stored in the simulator information storage unit to generate simulation information (simulation log) regarding the behavior of an agent in the predetermined simulator. good. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may generate simulation information (simulation log) by assigning an agent model stored in the model information storage unit 125 to an agent and performing a simulation regarding push notification and opening thereof. Further, the information processing apparatus 100 may generate prediction information based on the generated simulation information.

For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may generate a simulation log by simulating the behavior of a user (human) in the area B, which is the prediction target area. For example, prediction information may be generated based on a simulation in order to predict the open rate of push notifications in the B area because the number of push notifications to the actual user in the B area is insufficient. ..

For example, the information processing apparatus 100 determines an agent model applied to each agent. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may determine an agent model to be applied to each agent based on the information regarding the population composition of the B area included in the environmental information ED of the B area. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may determine an agent model to be applied to each agent based on the population composition of the B area regarding age and gender as attribute information. The attribute information used for the population composition is not limited to age and gender, and various attribute information may be used.

In the following example, it is assumed that the population composition of area B is mostly males in their twenties. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates agents for the number of humans (population, etc.) in the B area. In the example of FIG. 11, the information processing apparatus 100 has a population of 50,000 in the B area and generates 50,000 agents. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 assigns attributes to 50,000 agents so as to reflect the population composition in the area A. For example, when the ratio of males in their twenties in the B area is 50%, the information processing apparatus 100 assigns the attributes of males in their twenties to 25,000 agents. Further, for example, when the ratio of females in their twenties in the B area is 20%, the information processing apparatus 100 assigns the attributes of females in their twenties to 10,000 agents.

For example, the information processing apparatus 100 applies an agent model corresponding to a male in his twenties to an agent having an attribute of a male in his twenties. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 applies an agent model corresponding to a male in his twenties to 25,000 agents to which the attribute of a male in his twenties is assigned. Further, for example, the information processing apparatus 100 applies an agent model corresponding to a woman in her twenties to 10,000 agents to which the attribute of a woman in her twenties is assigned.

For example, the information processing apparatus 100 performs a simulation by an agent to which an agent model is applied. For example, each agent applied to the virtual space corresponding to the B area acts according to the agent model assigned to each agent. For example, if an agent to which an agent model corresponding to a man in his twenties is applied receives a push notification at a predetermined timing, does the push notification open according to the context such as the position or situation in the B area at that time? Decide whether or not. Further, for example, when an agent to which an agent model corresponding to a woman in her twenties is applied receives a push notification at a predetermined timing, the push notification is opened according to the context such as the position or situation in the B area at that time. Decide if you want to.

In this way, the information processing apparatus 100 generates a simulation log by causing each agent to perform an action in the virtual space corresponding to the B area. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may store the generated simulation log in the storage unit 120. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates prediction information based on the generated simulation log. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates prediction information (prediction information PM11 or the like in FIG. 11) with the B area as the prediction target area based on the simulation log corresponding to the B area.

[1-2. About model generation]
The information processing apparatus 100 may generate a model by various methods, not limited to the above. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may generate (update) a model by using the information of the generated model. The information processing apparatus 100 may generate (update) the model by feeding back the information of the generated model. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may generate (update) a model by using the information of the generated model as a constraint condition. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may generate (update) a model with a feature amount satisfying a predetermined condition as a constraint condition among the information of the generated model.

For example, the information processing apparatus 100 generates a model including the feature amount excluding the feature amount in which the absolute value of the weight is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold value (for example, 0.01, 0.001 or the like) among the generated model information. You may (update). For example, in the information processing apparatus 100, among the generated model M1, the model M1 except for the feature amount (feature amount # X) in which the absolute value of the weight is 0.00001 and is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold value (0.001). May be generated (updated). For example, when the feature amount #X corresponds to the combination of the elements "soccer field" and the "cucumber", the information processing apparatus 100 uses the model M1 by excluding the feature amount corresponding to the combination of the elements having a low relationship. It can be generated (updated) more appropriately.
