5.まとめ
まず、本開示の一実施形態による制御システムの概要を図1に示して説明する。図1に示すように、本実施形態による制御システムは、ユーザに情報を提示するクライアント2と、情報検索を行うサーバ1とを含む。クライアント2は、基地局3と無線接続し、ネットワーク4に接続しているサーバ1とデータの送受信を行う。
<2-1.サーバの構成>
図2は、本実施形態によるサーバ1の構成の一例を示すブロック図である。図2に示すように、サーバ1は、制御部10、通信部11、情報DB(データベース)13、コンテキスト別表示形式DB14、およびユーザ情報DB15を有する。
制御部10は、例えばCPU(Central Processing Unit)、ROM(Read Only Memory)、RAM(Random Access Memory)、不揮発性メモリ、インターフェース部を備えたマイクロコンピュータにより構成され、サーバ1の各構成を制御する。具体的には、本実施形態による制御部10は、図2に示すように、検索部10a、ユーザ状況情報取得部10b、表示形式決定部10c、および提示制御部10dとして機能する。
検索部10aは、クライアント2からの検索(または推薦)要求に応じて、情報DB13からユーザに提示する情報を検索する。検索要求は、ユーザの明示的な指示に基づく検索であってもよいし(例えばキーワード検索要求、画像検索要求等)、状況から検索対象情報を推測するコンテキスト検索であってもよい。コンテキスト検索の場合、例えば検索部10aは、図3に示すコンテキストと検索情報(検索情報の嗜好)との対応関係を参照して検索を実行する。すなわち、クライアント2からの要求に含まれるコンテキストが「昼(コンテキストタイプ:時間)」であった場合、検索部10aは、定食屋情報(例えば定食を提供している大衆食堂の情報)を検索する。また、クライアント2からの要求に含まれるコンテキストが「夜(コンテキストタイプ:時間)」であった場合、検索部10aは、レストラン情報(例えばアラカルトまたはコース料理を提供している飲食店の情報)を検索する。
ユーザ状況情報取得部10bは、クライアント2からユーザ状況に関する情報を取得する。ユーザ状況に関する情報とは、例えば現在の時刻、曜日、場所(ユーザの現在地)、ユーザが一緒にいる人の数、一緒にいる人との関係、一緒にいる人の属性、状態、行動内容、日常性、使用デバイスの少なくともいずれかを示す情報である。本明細書では、このようなユーザ状況に関する情報をコンテキストと称す。
表示形式決定部10cは、上記コンテキスト、検索した情報のジャンル、または使用デバイス(情報の提示先であるクライアント2)の種別に応じて、検索部10aにより検索した情報をクライアント2に提示する際の表示形式(すなわち、情報の粒度)を決定する。本明細書において、表示形式とは、提示する情報の量(例えば検索結果の提示件数)、詳細度(例えばタイトル、概要、全文の少なくともいずれを提示するか)、または表示種別(テキストまたは画像の少なくともいずれを提示するか)を含む。
提示制御部10dは、表示形式決定部10cにより決定した表示形式で、検索部10aにより検索した情報をクライアント2に提示するよう制御する。具体的には、提示制御部10dは、検索部10aにより検索した情報を表示形式決定部10cにより決定した表示形式で提示するよう指示する制御信号を通信部11からクライアント2に送信するよう制御する。
通信部11は、無線/有線により外部装置と接続し、データの送受信を行う機能を有する。本実施形態による通信部11は、例えばクライアント2と接続し、コンテキストを含む検索要求を受信したり、提示制御部10dによる制御に従って検索結果を所定の表示形式で提示するよう指示する制御信号を送信したりする。
情報DB13には、店舗情報、商品情報、イベント情報、ニュース、音楽、映像、または電子書籍など、ユーザに提示する様々なコンテンツが格納される。
コンテキスト別表示形式DB14には、表示形式決定部10cがコンテキスト等に応じて表示形式を決定する際に参照するデータが格納される。具体的には、後述で用いる図5に示すコンテキストと表示形式の対応関係を示すデータや、図6に示す検索情報と表示形式の対応関係を示すデータである。
ユーザ情報DB15には、ユーザからのフィードバックに基づく操作履歴が格納される。
まず、表示形式の対応付けの具体例について図5、図6を参照して説明する。図5は、コンテキストと表示形式の嗜好の対応付けの一例を示す図である。本実施形態では、図5に示すような表示形式との対応付けデータが予め生成され、コンテキスト別表示形式DB14に格納されている。
続いて、図5、図6に示すデータで対応付けられている表示形式の具体的な表示例について、図7~図10を参照して説明する。図7~図10は、表示形式の一例を示す図である。いずれも各表示形式に従って検索情報がクライアント2の表示画面に表示された場合を想定する。
次に、本実施形態のサーバ1による具体的な検索情報の提示例について、図11、図12を参照して説明する。図11、図12は、具体的な検索情報の提示例について説明する図である。
続いて、本実施形態によるクライアント2について図13を参照して説明する。図13は、クライアント2の構成の一例を示すブロック図である。クライアント2は、図1に示すようなスマートフォン端末であってもよいし、タブレット端末、携帯電話端末、PDA(Personal Digital Assistant)、PC(Personal Computer)、携帯用音楽プレーヤー、携帯用ゲーム機、またはウェアラブル端末(HMD(ヘッドマウントディスプレイ)、メガネ型HMD、時計型端末、バンド型端末等)であってもよい。
続いて、本実施形態による制御システムの動作処理について、図15を参照して説明する。
以上、本実施形態による制御システムの構成および動作処理について具体的に説明した。図11、図12に示した具体例では、コンテキスト-表示形式の対応テーブル44を用いて表示形式を決定する際、1つのコンテキストタイプ(図11、図12では、「一緒にいる人数」)しか参照していないが、複数のコンテキストタイプを取得する場合も想定される。この時、例えば一方のコンテキストには「詳細情報・画像付き」の表示形式が対応付けられ、他方のコンテキストには「情報リスト・画像なし」の表示形式が対応付けられている場合、表示形式の条件が競合してしまう。
まず、バリエーション1として、コンテキストタイプ毎にスコアを付ける方法を提案する。図16は、バリエーション1による優先度スコアの付加について説明する図である。図16では、コンテキストタイプ『場所』に優先度スコア「2.0」、コンテキストタイプ『一緒にいる人数』に優先度スコア「1.5」、コンテキストタイプ『時間』に優先度スコア「0.7」が付加されている。
次に、バリエーション2として、コンテキスト毎にスコアを付ける方法を提案する。図17は、バリエーション2による優先度スコアの付加について説明する図である。図17に示すように、例えば「一人」には「2・0」、「二人以上」には「1.5」、電車内には「2.0」といったようにコンテキスト毎に優先度スコアが付加されている。
次に、バリエーション2’として、コンテキスト毎にスコアを付け、かつ複数のスコア付加を許可する方法を提案する。図18は、バリエーション2’による優先度スコアの付加について説明する図である。図18に示すように、例えば「電車内」には、「情報リスト・画像なし」の表示形式に優先度スコア「2.0」、「詳細情報・画像付き」の表示形式に優先度スコア「1.0」が付加されている。
続いて、バリエーション3として、表示形式をカテゴリ化して、カテゴリ毎にスコアを付ける方法を提案する。図19は、バリエーション3による優先度スコアの付加について説明する図である。表示形式のカテゴリとしては、例えば『詳細度』、『画像』といったものが想定される。
また、上記の『詳細度』カテゴリでは、情報リストの表示内容として“タイトルのみ”、“概要のみ”、または“タイトル・概要”といった点も規定し、詳細情報の表示内容として“全文表示”を規定してもよい。
上述した優先度スコアは予め付加されたものであるが、本実施形態によるサーバ1の制御部10は、クライアント2から取得したユーザフィードバックに応じて変更してもよい。以下、図20を参照して具体的に説明する。
上述したように、本開示の実施形態による制御システムでは、検索した情報を提示する際に、現在のユーザ状況を取得し、当該ユーザ状況に応じて情報提示の際の情報の粒度を決定することを可能とする。
