JP 2013-114487 A

Generally, to vote in a competition, knowledge of the voting method used in the competition and information about the competition is required. Therefore, for voters with little voting experience (hereinafter referred to as "novice voters"), for example in bicycle racing, horse racing, boat racing, etc., it is difficult to predict which athlete is likely to win, and there is a problem that the barrier to voting is high.

The present invention was made in consideration of these points, and aims to make it easier for voters to get used to voting.

An information processing device according to one embodiment of the present invention has a presentation unit that presents to a user a predicted target based on popularity, which varies based on votes for possible competition results in a competition in which multiple athletes participate; a reception unit that receives prediction information from the user indicating a prediction regarding the predicted target; a determination unit that, after the popularity is determined, determines a target athletic body for the predicted target from among the multiple athletic bodies based on the determined popularity; and an award unit that awards a reward to the user when the user's prediction indicated by the prediction information matches the competition result of the target athletic body.

The present invention has the effect of making it easier for voters to become accustomed to voting.

<System Configuration>
Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a system configuration of an information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment. The information processing system 1 shown in Fig. 1 includes an information processing device 10 and one or more terminals 20. The information processing device 10 and the terminals 20 are connected to each other so as to be able to communicate with each other via a network N such as the Internet, an intranet, a wireless LAN (Local Area Network), or a mobile communication network.

The information processing device 10 is a device used to manage entertainment services that include proxy services and prediction services and provide users with entertainment related to competitions in which multiple competition bodies participate. Competitions include, for example, auto racing, bicycle racing, horse racing, boat racing, soccer, tennis, electronic sports, etc. Competition bodies include, for example, athletes, competition vehicles, racehorses, competition teams, etc.

The proxy service is a service that acts as an agent for voting on the voting service provided by the administrator of the competition (voting for possible competition outcomes in the competition, i.e. voting for the voting target contestant that is predicted to win the competition). The voting target is the object for which the user bets a predetermined value, and is determined by a combination of the contestant that the user predicts to win out of multiple candidates for the voting target (including contestants, racing vehicles, or animals) and the betting type (voting method).

A prediction service is a service that accepts predictions about prediction targets based on popularity. Popularity is the degree of popularity that fluctuates based on votes for possible competition results in the competition that is the subject of the proxy service or voting service, and is, for example, a popularity ranking determined according to the magnitude of the odds. A prediction target is a prediction target presented to a user, such as whether the most popular competition body will come in first, or whether the least popular competition body will come in last, etc.

The information processing device 10 is configured, for example, from one or more physical servers. The information processing device 10 may be configured using a virtual server that operates on a hypervisor, or may be configured using a cloud server.

The terminal 20 is a terminal used by a user, and is, for example, an information processing terminal such as a mobile phone (including a smartphone), a tablet terminal, or a personal computer. By operating the terminal 20, the user can vote for a voting target in the proxy service, or make a prediction regarding a prediction target in the prediction service. When the terminal 20 accepts an input of a prediction regarding a prediction target from the user, the terminal 20 transmits prediction information indicating the prediction to the information processing device 10 in association with user identification information (hereinafter referred to as "user ID") for identifying the user using the terminal 20.

The information processing device 10 performs processes such as storing the user's predictions, storing the amount of value owned by the user, and granting the user a reward (e.g., points that can be used in entertainment services) based on the competition results.

The information processing system 1 is characterized by providing a service (prediction service) for beginners who have little experience voting in competitions to help them become accustomed to voting in proxy services. For example, the information processing device 10 presents the user with a prediction target of whether the most popular competition body will come in first, and gives a reward to the user when the user's prediction regarding the prediction target (e.g., a prediction that the most popular competition body will come in first) matches the competition result of the competition body (the most popular competition body) that is the prediction target determined based on the confirmed popularity.

With such features of the information processing system 1, novice voters can understand the popularity of the target sports object of the competition. In this way, the information processing system 1 can provide novice voters with the motivation to learn the sports object. As a result, novice voters can become accustomed to voting. Furthermore, even voters who are accustomed to voting for competitions can make predictions about the competition in a method different from the conventional voting method, so the information processing system 1 can provide such voters with a new way of enjoying competitions.
The configurations and operations of the information processing device 10 and the terminal 20 will be described in detail below.

<Hardware Configuration>
2 is a diagram showing an example of a hardware configuration of the information processing device 10. The information processing device 10 includes a processor 11, a storage unit 12, a communication IF (Interface) 13, an input device 14, and an output device 15.

The processor 11 is, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or a GPU (Graphical Processing Unit), and realizes various functions by executing programs stored in the memory unit 12.

The storage unit 12 has a storage medium such as a memory, a hard disk drive (HDD), or a solid state drive (SSD). The storage unit 12 stores the program executed by the processor 11. The storage unit 12 also stores the user's predictions regarding the voting targets in association with the user ID.

The communication IF 13 has a communication controller for performing wired or wireless communication with the terminal 20 via the network N. The communication IF 13 notifies the processor 11 of data received from the terminal 20. The communication IF 13 also transmits data input from the processor 11 to the terminal 20.

The input device 14 accepts input operations from, for example, an administrator of the information processing device 10. The input device 14 is, for example, a keyboard, a touch panel, a mouse, or a microphone. The output device 15 outputs information to, for example, the administrator of the information processing device 10. The output device 15 is, for example, a display or a speaker.

Figure 3 is a diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of the terminal 20. The terminal 20 has a processor 21, a storage unit 22, a communication IF 23, an input device 24, and an output device 25.

The processor 21 is, for example, a CPU, and realizes various functions by executing programs stored in the memory unit 22.

The storage unit 22 has storage media such as a read only memory (ROM) and a random access memory (RAM). The storage unit 22 stores the programs executed by the processor 21.

The communication IF 23 has a communication controller for performing wired or wireless communication with the information processing device 10 via the network N. The communication IF 23 notifies the processor 21 of data received from the information processing device 10. The communication IF 23 also transmits data input from the processor 21 to the information processing device 10.

The input device 24 receives input operations from a user, for example. The input device 24 is, for example, a keyboard, a touch panel, a mouse, or a microphone. The output device 25 outputs information to a user, for example. The output device 25 is, for example, a display or a speaker.

<Function block configuration>
4 is a diagram showing an example of a functional block configuration of the processor 11. The processor 11 has a determination unit 111, a presentation unit 112, a reception unit 113, and an assignment unit 114. The processor 11 executes a program stored in the storage unit 12 to function as the determination unit 111, the presentation unit 112, the reception unit 113, and the assignment unit 114.

The determination unit 111 determines the prediction target. The prediction target may be predetermined, or may vary depending on the competition level of each athlete participating in the competition. For example, when the predetermined prediction target is "whether the most popular athlete will come in first place," if there is a large difference between the winning rate of a first athlete with the highest winning rate among multiple athlete bodies and the winning rate of a second athlete with the second highest winning rate after the first athlete (for example, if the difference exceeds a predetermined threshold), the determination unit 111 may determine a prediction target different from the predetermined prediction target (for example, whether the second most popular athlete will come in second place).

After determining the prediction target, the determination unit 111 determines the target athlete to be predicted from among the multiple athletes participating in the competition based on the popularity. Specifically, after the popularity is determined, the determination unit 111 determines the target athlete to be predicted from among the multiple athletes based on the determined popularity.

More specifically, first, after the voting acceptance period during which votes can be accepted in the voting service has elapsed, the determination unit 111 acquires information indicating the popularity of each sporting object (e.g., odds) from a management device (not shown) that manages the voting service. Then, based on the acquired information, the determination unit 111 determines a target sporting object to be predicted from among the multiple sporting objects. For example, if the prediction target is "whether or not the most popular sporting object will come in first," the determination unit 111 determines the most popular sporting object from among the multiple sporting objects as the target sporting object to be predicted based on the acquired information.

The determination unit 111 may determine a target athlete to be predicted from among a plurality of athletes based on the popularity before confirmation. The determination unit 111 determines a target athlete to be predicted from among a plurality of athletes based on the current popularity, for example, at a predetermined interval (for example, every 10 minutes).

The presentation unit 112 presents the user with prediction targets based on popularity. For example, when the reception unit 113, which will be described later, receives information indicating one sport selected by the user from among multiple sports, the presentation unit 112 causes the terminal 20 to display a prediction target screen showing the prediction targets. Details of the prediction target screen will be described later.

The reception unit 113 receives from the user prediction information indicating a prediction regarding a prediction target in the prediction service and information indicating a vote by the user in the proxy service. For example, when a prediction target is first presented by the presentation unit 112 and the user inputs a prediction regarding the prediction target using the terminal 20, the terminal 20 transmits prediction information indicating the input prediction to the information processing device 10. The reception unit 113 then acquires the prediction information from the terminal 20.

The receiving unit 113 may receive prediction information indicating one of two options as a prediction regarding the prediction target. Specifically, the presentation unit 112 first presents, as the prediction target, two options: whether or not the competition result of an athlete with a predetermined popularity ranking will be a predetermined ranking. The predetermined ranking is a ranking corresponding to the order of popularity; for example, if the popularity of the target athlete is the most popular, the predetermined ranking is 1st place. The receiving unit 113 then receives a selection of one of the two options from the user as prediction information.

Figure 5 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen displayed on the terminal 20. The display screen shown in Figure 5 (a) is a prediction target screen, and presents whether the most popular player (player A) will be first as a prediction target. In the example shown in Figure 5 (a), the user makes a prediction regarding the prediction target by performing an operation (pressing or touching, etc.) to select button B1 when predicting that the most popular player will be first, and by performing an operation to select button B2 when predicting that the most popular player will not be first. When the user performs such an operation on the terminal 20, the terminal 20 transmits prediction information indicated by the button operated by the user to the information processing device 10. By operating the reception unit 113 in this way, prediction can be easily made. Note that, when the user selects either button B1 or button B2 on the prediction target screen shown in Figure 5 (a), the presentation unit 112 may present a confirmation screen for confirming whether the prediction indicated by the selected button is correct.

When the reception unit 113 receives a vote, the presentation unit 112 may select and present, as a prediction target, one of two options, whether or not the competition result of an athlete with a certain popularity ranking will achieve a certain ranking, with the option corresponding to the content of the vote selected. For example, when the reception unit 113 receives a vote for the most popular athlete to come in first, the presentation unit 112 presents a confirmation screen for confirming whether or not it is correct to predict that the most popular athlete will come in first. By operating in this manner, the presentation unit 112 can make a prediction that is consistent with the content of the vote.

The presentation unit 112 may present a prediction confirmation screen on which the contents predicted in the prediction service can be confirmed and a voting confirmation screen on which the contents voted for in the proxy service can be confirmed in a switchable manner. For example, when button B3 on the prediction target screen shown in FIG. 5(a) is selected, the presentation unit 112 displays the display screen as shown in FIG. 5(b). On the display screen shown in FIG. 5(b), the prediction confirmation screen and the voting confirmation screen are displayed in tab format, and when the user performs an operation to select tab T1 on the terminal 20, the prediction confirmation screen is displayed, and when the user performs an operation to select tab T2, the voting confirmation screen is displayed. By operating in this manner, the presentation unit 112 can switch between the contents voted for by the user in the proxy service and the contents predicted by the user in the prediction service.

In the above, an example has been described in which the receiving unit 113 receives prediction information indicating one of two options as a prediction regarding the prediction target, but this is not limiting. For example, the receiving unit 113 may receive prediction information indicating one of three or more options as a prediction regarding the prediction target. For example, the presentation unit 112 first presents three options as prediction targets, that is, whether or not the competition result of an athlete with a predetermined popularity ranking will achieve a predetermined ranking. The three options are, for example, that the third most popular athlete will come in third, will come in a ranking higher than third, or will come in a ranking lower than third. The receiving unit 113 then receives a selection of one of the three options from the user as prediction information. By operating the receiving unit 113 in this manner, the difficulty level of the prediction can be easily changed.

Returning to FIG. 4, the reception unit 113 receives prediction information from the user during a predetermined period. The predetermined period is a period during which predictions can be received in the prediction service. The reception unit 113 may receive prediction information from the user during a predetermined period that includes a time after the popularity level has been determined.

Specifically, first, the determination unit 111 determines the target sports object to be predicted based on the confirmed popularity, and the presentation unit 112 presents the predicted objects including the determined target sports object to the user. Then, the reception unit 113 receives prediction information from the user for a predetermined period of time. By operating in this manner, the reception unit 113 can make predictions based on the determined target sports object.

The reception unit 113 may receive prediction information from the user during a predetermined period including the period during which the race is being held. For example, if the race is an auto race, the reception unit 113 receives prediction information from the user during the predetermined period until the number of laps of the racing body reaches a predetermined threshold. The "number of laps of the racing body" may be the number of laps of the leading racing body or the number of laps of the last racing body. The predetermined threshold is, for example, one lap, or half the number of laps specified for the race (for example, three laps, which is half the six laps of a general race). By operating in this manner, the reception unit 113 can make predictions while checking the situation of the race.

The reception unit 113 may receive prediction information from the user during a predetermined period including the time before the popularity level is determined. For example, the reception unit 113 receives prediction information from the user during the period from the start of the voting acceptance period of the voting service until the predetermined period has elapsed. The reception unit 113 may receive prediction information from the user during the period from a time before the start of the voting acceptance period of the voting service until the predetermined period has elapsed. By operating in this manner, the reception unit 113 can make predictions at a time convenient for the user.

If the above-mentioned predetermined period includes a time before the popularity is determined, the presentation unit 112 may present different information to the user depending on whether it is before or after the voting acceptance period. Specifically, if the current time is before the voting acceptance period, the presentation unit 112 presents the predicted target to the user, and if the current time is after the start of the voting acceptance period, the presentation unit 112 presents the predicted target and information about the target sports body determined based on the current popularity. The information about the target sports body is, for example, the name of the sports body, a number for identifying the sports body in the competition, the date of birth of the sports body or the athlete who rides the sports body (hereinafter simply referred to as "sports body, etc."), the age of the sports body, etc., the year in which the sports body, etc. obtained the qualification to participate in the competition, the competition history of the sports body, etc. (for example, the total number of wins, winning percentage, etc.), etc. The information about the target sports body may be the odds of the target sports body.

Figure 6 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen displayed on the terminal 20. The display screen shown in Figure 6 is a prediction target screen displayed at a time before the voting acceptance period of the voting service, and the prediction target screen is displayed without displaying the target athletes. For example, when the current time is before the voting acceptance period, the presentation unit 112 displays a prediction target screen as shown in Figure 6, and when the current time is after the start of the voting acceptance period, the presentation unit 112 displays a prediction target screen as shown in Figure 5(a). By operating in this manner, the presentation unit 112 can make predictions according to the situation.

The reception unit 113 may accept changes to the user's predictions after the target sporting object has been determined. Specifically, first, when the determination unit 111 determines the target sporting object based on the determined popularity, the presentation unit 112 presents information about the determined target sporting object to the user before the competition starts. Then, the reception unit 113 accepts prediction information from the user before the popularity is determined, and then accepts changes to the prediction information from the user. By operating in this manner, the reception unit 113 can change predictions according to the determined target sporting object.

The reception unit 113 receives prediction information from a user regardless of whether or not the user has the funds. The funds are, for example, points that can be used for voting in an agency service. The reception unit 113 operates in this manner, allowing users to make predictions easily. Note that the reception unit 113 may receive prediction information from a user on the condition that the user has paid a predetermined amount of funds.

When the reception unit 113 receives predicted information from a user, the presentation unit 112 may notify the user of various information. Specifically, if the target sport determined based on popularity has changed after the reception unit 113 receives predicted information from the user, the presentation unit 112 notifies the user. More specifically, if the target sport at the time the reception unit 113 receives predicted information from the user is different from the target sport determined by the determination unit 111 thereafter, the presentation unit 112 notifies the user of a message that the target sport has changed.

The presentation unit 112 may notify the user of the above message when the target sporting object determined based on the confirmed popularity differs from the target sporting object at the time when the predicted information was accepted from the user. The presentation unit 112 may also notify the user of the above message when the target sporting object determined based on the popularity before confirmation differs from the target sporting object at the time when the predicted information was accepted from the user. By the presentation unit 112 operating in this manner, it is possible to give the user an opportunity to revise their prediction.

If the target sport determined based on popularity changes after the reception unit 113 receives prediction information from the user, the presentation unit 112 may notify the user of information regarding the target sport determined based on current popularity. By operating in this manner, the presentation unit 112 can provide information for revising predictions.

The presentation unit 112 may notify the user when a vote by the user does not match the user's prediction indicated by the prediction information. Specifically, when a vote in the proxy service accepted by the reception unit 113 does not match a prediction regarding a prediction target in the prediction service accepted by the reception unit 113, the presentation unit 112 notifies the user of a message indicating that the content of the vote and the content of the prediction do not match. By operating in this manner, the presentation unit 112 can make the user recognize that they have made a prediction that differs from their vote.

The granting unit 114 grants a reward to the user if the user's prediction is correct. Specifically, first, the granting unit 114 acquires information indicating the competition results from the management device. The granting unit 114 may acquire information indicating the competition results of each athlete, or may acquire the competition results of the target athlete that is the subject of the prediction. Then, the granting unit 114 grants a reward to the user if the user's prediction indicated by the prediction information matches the competition result of the target athlete indicated by the acquired information.

The granting unit 114 may grant the user a reward (e.g., points) that can be used as a voting resource. By operating in this manner, the granting unit 114 can encourage the user to vote (e.g., purchase a betting ticket).

The granting unit 114 may grant a reward when a user about whom the reception unit 113 has received prediction information performs a predetermined event. The predetermined event is, for example, viewing a specific image or video (e.g., a sponsor's commercial message, etc.), or sharing a prediction on a specific social networking service (SNS), etc.

Specifically, first, when the receiving unit 113 receives prediction information from a user, the presenting unit 112 causes the terminal 20 to display a display screen for executing a specific event (for example, a video viewing screen for viewing a specific video). Then, the granting unit 114 grants a reward when a specific video is viewed on the display screen.

Figure 7 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen displayed on the terminal 20. The display screen shown in Figure 7 is a video viewing screen, and is provided with a button B3 for displaying a specific video. The granting unit 114 may grant a reward when the user performs an operation to select button B3, or may grant a reward when the video displayed as a result of button B3 being selected is played to the end.

When a user who has predicted correctly regarding the predicted target performs a predetermined event, the granting unit 114 grants an additional second reward in addition to the first reward. The second reward may be points or a multiplier on the points of the first reward. When a user who has predicted incorrectly regarding the predicted target performs a predetermined event, the granting unit 114 grants the user a reward that is less than the reward that would be granted if the prediction was correct. By operating in this manner, the granting unit 114 can provide the user with motivation to perform the predetermined event.

<Processing flow of the processor 11>
Fig. 8 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing by the processor 11. The flowchart shown in Fig. 8 starts when the presenting unit 112 presents a predicted target based on popularity to the user (S11). The receiving unit 113 receives prediction information indicating a prediction regarding the predicted target in the prediction service from the user (S12).

After the voting period has elapsed, the determination unit 111 acquires information indicating the popularity of each sporting object from the management device (S13). The determination unit 111 determines the target sporting object to be predicted from among the multiple sporting objects based on the acquired information indicating the popularity of each sporting object (S14). The assignment unit 114 acquires information indicating the competition result from the management device (S15).

The granting unit 114 determines whether the user's prediction indicated by the prediction information matches the competition result of the target athlete indicated by the acquired information indicating the competition result (S16). If the granting unit 114 determines that the user's prediction does not match the competition result of the target athlete (NO in S16), it ends the processing. On the other hand, if the granting unit 114 determines that the user's prediction matches the competition result of the target athlete (YES in S16), it grants a reward to the user (S17).

<Effects of the information processing device 10>
As described above, the information processing device 10 gives a reward to the user when the user's prediction matches the competition result of the target sporting object. By the information processing device 10 operating in this manner, novice voters can understand the popularity of the target sporting object that is the subject of the competition. In this way, the information processing device 10 can provide novice voters with the motivation to learn about the sporting object. As a result, novice voters can become accustomed to voting. Furthermore, even voters who are accustomed to voting for competitions can make predictions about the competition in a method different from the conventional voting method, so the information processing device 10 can provide such voters with a new way of enjoying competitions.
