The computer program according to the embodiment is installed on a mobile terminal such as a smartphone, and displays a card classification screen including a card type object on a touch panel display of the mobile terminal. The user sorts the card-type objects displayed on the card sorting screen using two options: add them to favorites (Like) or not add them to favorites (Dislike). Here, when the computer program detects a swipe on the card-shaped object by the user, the computer program moves the card-shaped object with a trajectory different from the trajectory of the swipe, moves the card-shaped object out of the card classification screen, and sorts the object into a category corresponding to the direction of the swipe trajectory. is assigned to the card-type object (the corresponding classification target item). This allows the user to intuitively classify the card-shaped objects, and also to feel the freshness of the movement of the card-shaped objects that is slightly different from what he or she expected.

In addition, in the embodiment, in addition to the random mode in which 10 card-shaped objects are presented at random on the card classification screen and the user swipes left or right to decide whether to like or dislike, a recommended mode in which 10 card-shaped objects are randomly presented and swiped left or right based on the user's attributes is provided. There is also a customization mode where you can set the number to 10. In this customization mode, for example, each card is scored and stored in stages according to user attributes such as ``viewed'', ``selected Like in random presentation'', ``added to favorites list'', and ``applied for''. Then, when a specific user receives a recommendation, the top 10 cards with the highest scores for the same attribute are displayed. According to the customization mode, it is possible to present information that better matches the user's preferences.

The communication unit 106 reads the result of the user's input on the card classification screen from the classification result temporary storage unit 107 and transmits it to the event server 6.

FIG. 9 is a data structure diagram showing an example of the classification result temporary storage unit 107 in FIG. 3. The classification result temporary holding unit 107 temporarily holds the classification results of (events corresponding to) card-type objects on the card classification screen. The classification result temporary storage unit 107 stores an event ID for identifying an event, event information, and an event classification result in association with each other. The classification result indicates whether the item has been classified as Like ("Like"), Dislike ("Dislike"), or has not been classified yet (blank).

FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing the functions and configuration of the event server 6 in FIG. 1. The event server 6 includes an event selection section 108, a communication section 110, a classification section 112, an analysis section 114, an event information holding section 116, and a user information holding section 118.

FIG. 5 is a data structure diagram showing an example of the event information holding unit 116 in FIG. 4. As shown in FIG. The event information holding unit 116 holds an event ID that specifies an event, the name of the event, the content and timing of the event, and the respective scores of Attribute 1, Attribute 2, and Attribute 3 for the event in association with each other.

Describe attribute scores for events.
When the random mode is selected, the mobile terminal 4 randomly presents a limited number (such as 10) of card-type objects representing events on the card classification screen. In random mode, no scores are used. The user swipes each card type object to Like (to the right) and Dislike (to the left). As the number of likes counts up (dislikes are not counted), a progress bar for the remaining number of cards is displayed on the card classification screen. In addition, liked card-type objects are temporarily stored, and at the end, it is possible to select whether or not to reflect them in one's favorite list.

On the other hand, when the customization mode is selected, weighted scoring based on the user's level of interest in behavior for each attribute is reflected in the selection of card-type objects to be presented. Specifically, when Mr. A with Attribute 1 (for example, male, in his 20s, and single) classifies the card-type object "Let's go to a festival!" as Like on the card classification screen, the "Let's go to a festival!" event is The number of users with attribute 1 who have liked is increased by 1. Similarly, when Mr. B of Attribute 2 (e.g., female, 40s, married, with children) viewed the detailed information of the "Let's go to the festival!" event, The number of users with attribute 2 is increased by 1. When Mr. C of attribute 3 (for example, male, 40s, DINKS) applies for the "Let's go to the festival!" event, the number of users of attribute 3 who have applied for the "let's go to the festival!" event is incremented by 1.

The attribute score for an event is calculated as follows. The breakdown of the number of users with attribute 1 associated with the "Let's go to the festival!" event is as follows:
Number of users who viewed details: 25
Number of users who liked: 10
Number of users added to list: 8
Number of users who applied: 5
Then, the score of attribute 1 for the "Let's go to the festival!" event is
View details (1P) x 25 people + Like (2P) x 10 people + Add list (3P) x 8 people + Apply (5P) x 5 people = 25P + 20P + 24P + 25P = 94P
The event information holding unit 116 holds the score calculated in this manner for each attribute for each registered event.

When Mr. D with Attribute 2 requests the display of the card classification screen, 10 events are randomly selected from the top 30 events with the highest scores for users with the same Attribute 2 as Mr. D, and the card classification screen for Mr. D is displayed. Is displayed.

FIG. 6 is a data structure diagram showing an example of the user information holding unit 118 in FIG. 4. As shown in FIG. The user information holding unit 118 stores a user ID that identifies the user, user attributes, event IDs of events that the user has classified as favorites (Like), and event IDs of events that the user has classified as non-favorites (Dislike). , are associated and retained.

Returning to FIG. 4, the event selection unit 108 receives a request for card classification screen generation data from the mobile terminal 4. When the random mode is selected, upon receiving the request, the event selection unit 108 randomly selects a predetermined number (for example, 10) of events from among the events registered in the event information storage unit 116.

When the customization mode is selected, upon receiving the request, the event selection unit 108 selects a card type object to be included in the card classification screen based on the attributes of the user of the mobile terminal 4. The event selection unit 108 identifies the user ID of the user of the mobile terminal 4 included in the request. The event selection unit 108 specifies the attribute corresponding to the specified user ID by referring to the user information holding unit 118. The event selection unit 108 refers to the event information holding unit 116 and identifies the top 30 events with the highest scores for the identified attributes. The event selection unit 108 randomly selects 10 events from among the 30 specified events.

The communication unit 110 transmits information on the ten events selected by the event selection unit 108 to the mobile terminal 4 via the network 8. The event information to be transmitted includes an event ID, an event name, event content, and event timing. The communication unit 110 receives the results of the user's input on the card classification screen.

The classification unit 112 updates the user information holding unit 118 based on the result of the received user input. The user input result includes, for example, a user ID, an event ID, and a classification result indicating whether the user liked or disliked the event. The classification unit 112 causes the user information holding unit 118 to add the event ID of the event liked by the user to the favorite event ID of the user, and adds the event ID of the event Disliked by the user to the non-favorite event ID of the user. to add.

The analysis unit 114 periodically calculates the score of each attribute for the event as described above, and updates the event information holding unit 116 with the calculated score.

FIG. 7 is a representative screen diagram of the card classification screen 402 displayed on the touch panel display 400 of the mobile terminal 4. As shown in FIG. The card classification screen 402 includes a first card type object 404, an information icon 403, a second card type object 406, a third card type object 408, a Like object 410, a badge 412, a Dislike object 414, and a progress display. It has an indicator 416, a remaining card number display area 418, and a theme display area 420.

The first card-type object 404 , the second card-type object 406 , and the third card-type object 408 are arranged such that the first card-type object 404 is in the forefront and the second card-type object 406 is in front of the first card-type object 408 . A third card type object 408 is displayed superimposed under the second card type object 406 as if placed under the second card type object 406 .

The information icon 403 is displayed in association with the first card-type object 404 in the foreground. In this example, the information icon 403 is transparently displayed within the first card-type object 404. When the information icon 403 is tapped, the touch panel display 400 changes to a screen that displays details of the event corresponding to the first card-type object 404.

A Like object 410 and a Dislike object 414 each represent the classification of the card type objects 404, 406, and 408 displayed on the card classification screen 402, and in particular, the Like object 410 represents a favorite, and the Dislike object 414 represents a non-favorite, respectively. .

Badge 412 is displayed in association with Like object 410. In this example, badge 412 is displayed within Like object 410. The badge 412 numerically indicates how many card-type objects have been liked so far. No badge is displayed on the Dislike object 414.

The progress indicator 416 indicates the number of card-type objects that have been classified on the card classification screen 402. Progress indicator 416 may be a progress bar. The remaining card number display area 418 numerically displays the number of remaining card-type objects that have not yet been classified on the card classification screen 402. The display control unit 104 may determine the display contents of the progress indicator 416 and the remaining card number display area 418 by referring to the classification result temporary storage unit 107.

When a rightward swipe on the first card-type object 404 is detected on the card classification screen 402 displayed on the touch panel display 400, the display control unit 104 detects whether the first card-type object 404 is in the rightward swipe trajectory 422. The display of the first card type object 404 is controlled so that it leaves the card classification screen 402 while drawing a different rightward arcuate trajectory 424. At the same time, the display control unit 104 updates the display of the Like object 410.

The rightward arcuate trajectory 424 of the first card type object 404 has the same direction as the rightward swipe trajectory 422, and includes a curved line that is concave with respect to the position where the Like object 410 is displayed. In other words, the first card type object 404 moves around the Like object 410 and goes out of the card classification screen 402. When the first card type object 404 moves out of the card classification screen 402 along the rightward arcuate trajectory 424, the event corresponding to the first card type object 404 is temporarily registered as a Like in the classification result temporary storage unit 107, The number displayed within the badge 412 of the Like object 410 is increased by +1. At the same time, the second card-type object 406 that was under the first card-type object 404 is displayed in the foreground, the progress indicator 416 moves one scale to the right, and the number displayed in the remaining card number display area 418 increases. -1 is given.

Similarly, when a leftward swipe on the first card-type object 404 is detected on the card classification screen 402 displayed on the touch panel display 400, the display control unit 104 causes the first card-type object 404 to move along the trajectory of the leftward swipe. The display of the first card type object 404 is controlled so that it leaves the card classification screen 402 while drawing a leftward arc-shaped trajectory 428 different from 426 . At this time, the display of the Dislike object 414 is not updated.

The leftward arcuate trajectory 428 of the first card type object 404 has the same direction as the leftward swipe trajectory 426, and includes a curved line that is concave with respect to the position where the Dislike object 414 is displayed. In other words, the first card type object 404 moves around the Dislike object 414 and goes out of the card classification screen 402. When the first card type object 404 moves out of the card classification screen 402 along the leftward arcuate trajectory 428, the event corresponding to the first card type object 404 is temporarily registered as Dislike in the classification result temporary storage unit 107. . At the same time, the second card-type object 406 that was under the first card-type object 404 is displayed in the foreground, the progress indicator 416 moves one scale to the right, and the number displayed in the remaining card number display area 418 increases. -1 is given.

The rightward arcuate locus 424 and the leftward arcuate locus 428 are line symmetrical with respect to the center line of the touch panel display 400.

The first card type object 404 can be dragged by tapping and tracing (sliding) the first card type object 404 on the card classification screen 402. The card classification screen 402 is divided into three areas: a left area 402a, a center area 402b, and a right area 402c. When the user releases his or her finger (lifts off) after sliding, the subsequent action changes depending on the position of the reference point (for example, center point or center of gravity) 430 of the first card-shaped object 404 at that time. If the reference point 430 at the time of lift-off is in the left area 402a, the first card-shaped object 404 moves out of the card classification screen 402 along a leftward arc-shaped trajectory, and an event corresponding to the first card-shaped object 404 is detected. is temporarily registered in the classification result temporary storage unit 107 as Dislike. If the reference point 430 at the time of lift-off is in the right area 402c, the first card-shaped object 404 moves out of the card classification screen 402 along a rightward arc-shaped trajectory, and an event corresponding to the first card-shaped object 404 is detected. is temporarily registered in the classification result temporary storage unit 107 as a Like. If the reference point 430 at the time of lift-off is in the central area 402b, the first card-shaped object 404 returns to the default position (the position before moving by sliding).

The operation of the mobile terminal 4 with the above configuration will be explained.
FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a series of processes related to event classification in the mobile terminal 4 of FIG. Based on an instruction from the user, the mobile terminal 4 requests the event server 6 for data for generating the card classification screen 402 (S802). The mobile terminal 4 receives information on the event selected by the event server 6 based on the attributes of the user of the mobile terminal 4 from the event server 6 (S804), and registers it in the classification result temporary storage unit 107. The mobile terminal 4 generates a card classification screen 402 based on the received event information held in the classification result temporary holding unit 107, and displays it on the touch panel display 400 (S806). The mobile terminal 4 performs card classification processing on the card type object displayed at the forefront of the card classification screen 402 through interaction between the card classification screen 402 and the user (S808). When the card classification process is completed and the classification results are registered in the classification result temporary storage unit 107, the mobile terminal 4 refers to the classification result temporary storage unit 107 to determine whether there are any remaining card-type objects. is determined (S810). If there are remaining card-type objects, that is, if there is an event with a blank classification result in the classification result temporary storage unit 107 (Y in S810), the mobile terminal 4 displays the next card-type object on the card classification screen 402. The screen is displayed in the foreground, and the process returns to step S808. If the classification process for all card-type objects has been completed, that is, if classification results have been registered for all events held in the classification result temporary storage unit 107 (N in S810), the mobile terminal 4 It is inquired whether or not to reflect the classification results of the object up to that point (S812).

The classification results up to step S812 are temporarily held in the classification result temporary holding unit 107, and the temporarily held classification results are received by the event server 6 and stored in the user information holding unit 118 of the event server 6. By being registered, the classification results are officially registered. When receiving an instruction from the user to reflect the results (Y in S812), the mobile terminal 4 transmits the classification results temporarily held in the classification result temporary storage unit 107 to the event server 6 (S814). Thereafter, the mobile terminal 4 clears the classification result temporary holding unit 107 and empties it. When receiving an instruction from the user not to reflect the results (N in S812), the mobile terminal 4 discards all the classification results temporarily held in the classification result temporary storage unit 107 (S816).

Note that when the classification process for all card-type objects is completed (N in S810), the mobile terminal 4 may inquire of the user whether or not to select and display a new card-type object.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing details of the card classification process in step S808 in FIG. The mobile terminal 4 determines whether the user input on the card classification screen 402 is a tap, a slide, or a swipe (S902).

[For swipe]
If it is determined in step S902 that the input is a swipe, the mobile terminal 4 interprets the swipe input as an input to the card type object displayed at the forefront of the card classification screen 402. The mobile terminal 4 determines the direction of the detected swipe (S904). If it is determined that the swipe is to the right, the mobile terminal 4 presents a rightward card movement animation starting from the default position of the frontmost card-type object (S906). In this rightward card movement animation, the card type object at the default position leaves the card classification screen 402 while drawing a rightward arcuate trajectory. The mobile terminal 4 temporarily adds the event corresponding to the card-type object that left the card classification screen 402 in step S906 to favorites (Like) (S908). If it is determined in step S904 that it is a leftward swipe, the mobile terminal 4 presents a leftward card movement animation starting from the default position of the frontmost card-type object (S910). In this leftward card movement animation, the card-shaped object at the default position leaves the card classification screen 402 while drawing a leftward arc-shaped trajectory. The mobile terminal 4 temporarily adds the event corresponding to the card type object that left the card classification screen 402 in step S910 to non-favorites (Dislike) (S912).

[For tap]
If it is determined in step S902 that the input is a tap, the mobile terminal 4 determines whether the position where the tap was detected is on the Like object 410, the Dislike object 414, or any other position. It is determined whether it is the position (S914). If a tap on the Like object 410 is detected, the mobile terminal 4 performs steps S906 and S908. If a tap on the Dislike object 414 is detected, the mobile terminal 4 performs steps S910 and S912. If a tap is detected at any other position, the process returns to step S914. Note that when a tap on the information icon of the frontmost card-type object is detected, the mobile terminal 4 causes the touch panel display 400 to display a screen displaying details of the event corresponding to the card-type object.

[For slides]
If it is determined in step S902 that the input is a slide, the mobile terminal 4 interprets the slide input as an input to the card type object displayed at the forefront of the card classification screen 402. The mobile terminal 4 moves the frontmost card-shaped object according to the trajectory of the slide (S916). The mobile terminal 4 determines whether lift-off or swipe is detected (S918). If neither is detected, the process returns to step S916.

If a swipe is detected in step S918, the mobile terminal 4 determines the direction of the detected swipe (S920). If it is determined that the swipe is to the right, the mobile terminal 4 presents a rightward card movement animation starting from the position of the frontmost card-shaped object when the swipe was detected (hereinafter referred to as the swipe point). (S922). In this rightward card movement animation, the card-shaped object at the swipe point leaves the card classification screen 402 while drawing a rightward arc-shaped trajectory. The mobile terminal 4 temporarily adds the event corresponding to the card type object that left the card classification screen 402 in step S922 to favorites (Like) (S924). If it is determined in step S920 that it is a leftward swipe, the mobile terminal 4 presents a leftward card movement animation starting from the swipe point (S926).

According to the event app according to the present embodiment, when a swipe on a card-type object by a user is detected, an animation is provided in which the card-type object moves in a trajectory different from the trajectory of the swipe and moves out of the card classification screen 402. In addition, a classification corresponding to the direction of the swipe trajectory is assigned to the event corresponding to the card-shaped object. This allows the user to intuitively classify the card-shaped objects, and also to feel the freshness of the movement of the card-shaped objects that is slightly different from what he or she expected.

In addition, in the event application according to the present embodiment, a card type object is presented on the card classification screen 402, as well as a Like object 410 and a Dislike object 414, so that the user can ask what kind of action is desired for classification. You can easily understand whether the screen is displayed correctly and which direction to swipe to achieve the desired classification.

Further, in the event app according to the present embodiment, a card type object is presented on the card classification screen 402, and a progress indicator 416, a remaining card number display area 418, and a badge 412 are also presented, so that the user can Work progress and classification results can be easily understood.

The configuration and operation of the event management system 2 according to the embodiment have been described above. This embodiment is merely an example, and those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications can be made to the combinations of each component and each process, and that such modifications are also within the scope of the present invention.

In the embodiment, the case where the card-type object represents an event has been described, but the technical idea of this embodiment is not limited to this, and can also be applied when the card-type object represents content such as recommended products or services. can be applied. Further, the technical idea of this embodiment can also be applied when a user votes or evaluates the content displayed by a card-type object.

In the embodiment, classification results are temporarily registered in the classification result temporary holding unit 107, and when the user wishes to have the results reflected in the favorites list, the provisional registration contents are sent to the event server 6 for actual registration. Although explained above, it is not limited to this. For example, the mobile terminal 4 may transmit the classification results to the event server 6 every time a card-type object is classified. In this case, the event server 6 may be provided with a temporary holding unit similar to the classification result temporary holding unit 107 to realize the flow from temporary registration to official registration, or the temporary registration function may be abolished and the card type object It may be configured such that the classification results are directly registered each time classification occurs.

In the embodiment, a case has been described in which card-type objects are classified into two choices, Like or Dislike, on the card classification screen 402, but the present invention is not limited to this, and three or more classifications may be provided. For example, a further classification may be provided for those who have already participated in the event corresponding to the card type object.

In the embodiment, a case will be described in which the input detection unit 102 provided in the mobile terminal 4 detects an input by a user's finger on the touch panel display and determines whether the input is a tap, a slide, or a swipe. Although described above, the gesture recognition unit (not shown) of the mobile terminal 4 may be implemented to detect the user's input. The gesture recognition unit recognizes the movement of the user's hand or fingers as a gesture by analyzing the image acquired by the imaging unit (camera, etc.) of the mobile terminal 4.

It may also be implemented using virtual reality (VR) technology to allow the user to input gestures; for example, the user may perform taps by holding a VR input device in their hand and moving it within the virtual reality (VR) environment. , perform gesture actions such as slide, swipe, etc. The tracking device of the mobile terminal 4 recognizes the gesture movement. A user can put on VR goggles (HMD) and see changes in a card-shaped object based on user input (tap, slide, swipe, etc.) detected by a tracking device in a virtual reality (VR) environment.

FIG. 18 is a representative screen diagram of a card classification screen 460 according to a modified example displayed on the touch panel display 400 of the mobile terminal 4. The card classification screen 460 includes a Like object 410, a Dislike object 414, and a done object 462. When an upward swipe on a card type object 464 is detected on the card sorting screen 460, the display control unit 104 causes the card type object 464 to draw an upward arcuate trajectory 468 different from the upward swipe trajectory 466 to classify the card. The display of the card type object 464 is controlled so that it exits the screen 460.

The upward arcuate trajectory 468 of the card-shaped object 464 has the same direction as the upward swipe trajectory 466, and includes a curved line that is concave with respect to the position where the completed object 462 is displayed. In other words, the card type object 464 moves around the completed object 462 and exits the card classification screen 460. When the card-shaped object 464 moves out of the card classification screen 460 along the upward arcuate trajectory 468, the event corresponding to the card-shaped object 464 is temporarily registered in the classification result temporary holding unit 107 as a participation event.

In the embodiment, the mobile terminal 4 determines whether the user input on the card classification screen 402 is a tap, a slide, or a swipe, and if it is a swipe, a card type object is displayed according to the direction of the swipe. Although the case where the classification is performed has been described, it is not limited to this. For example, the mobile terminal 4 may determine whether to classify the card-shaped object or return the card-shaped object to the default position depending on the size of the swipe. Specifically, when the mobile terminal 4 determines that the user input on the card classification screen 402 is a swipe, it detects the size of the swipe (for example, the length of the trace, the speed of the swipe, etc.), and determines whether the user input is a swipe. Compare the size of the swipe you created with a threshold. If the size of the detected swipe is larger than the threshold, the mobile terminal 4 classifies the card-type object according to the direction of the swipe. If the size of the detected swipe is less than or equal to the threshold, the mobile terminal 4 moves the position of the card-shaped object a little and then returns it to the default position.

Alternatively, the mobile terminal 4 may determine whether to classify the card-type object or return the card-type object to the default position according to the end position of the swipe (the position lifted off after tracing). Specifically, the mobile terminal 4 determines which of the three areas (left area 402a, center area 402b, right area 402c) defined on the card classification screen 402 the swipe end position falls within. do. If it is determined that the end position of the swipe is within the central area 402b, the mobile terminal 4 returns the card-shaped object to the default position. If it is determined that the end position of the swipe is within the right area 402c, the mobile terminal 4 presents a rightward card movement animation and temporarily adds the event corresponding to the card type object to favorites (Like). If it is determined that the end position of the swipe is within the left area 402a, the mobile terminal 4 presents a leftward card movement animation and temporarily adds the event corresponding to the card type object to non-favorites (Dislike).
