To this end, this information processing device is equipped with a familiarity assessment unit for assessing the familiarity between a recipe poster, who is a user that contributed a recipe to a website where recipes are published, and a report poster, who is a user that contributed a report about the recipe contributed by the recipe poster, and an acknowledgement control unit which: when the report was contributed by a familiar report poster for which the degree of familiarity is no less than a set level, requests that the recipe poster acknowledge the report, and thereafter, executes report acknowledgement processing when time passes even if the recipe poster did not manually provide acknowledgement; and when the report was contributed by an unfamiliar report poster for which the degree of familiarity is less than the set level, requests that the recipe poster acknowledge the report, but does not execute report acknowledgement processing when time passes.

Description

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, program, and storage medium

The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus and an information processing method, a program for realizing the information processing apparatus, and a storage medium storing the program, and in particular, a processing technique related to approval of a report for a recipe posted on a website. Related to the field.

Websites that accept recipe submissions for dishes and post posted recipes (hereinafter referred to as “recipe sites”) are widely known. Each user can post a recipe by inputting information such as material information such as used ingredients and seasonings and the amount of each material on a predetermined input page prepared on the site side, for example. Hereinafter, the poster of the recipe is referred to as “Recipa”.

In addition, each user at the recipe site can browse the recipe presented through the site and create a dish according to the recipe. Furthermore, the user who created the dish according to the recipe can post an impression about the created dish, a comment on the recipe, and the like as a “report” on the site. Hereinafter, report contributors are referred to as “reporters”. Submitted reports are generally posted on the site after receiving approval from the receiver.
Depending on the recipe site, an incentive such as a point may be given to the contributor depending on the posting of the report.

Furthermore, on the recipe site, it is also possible for the reciper to input reply comments for the submitted reports.

In addition, about the related prior art, the following patent document 1 can be mentioned, for example.

JP 2012-146106 A

Here, in the recipe site, for example, for the purpose of promoting the use of the site, there is a demand to develop the report posting page as a place for communication between the receiver and the reporter.
However, the approval of the posting report by the receiver is particularly burdensome for popular receivers (recipers with a large number of recipes viewed), recipes with a large number of recipe postings, and the approval may be delayed. Delaying approval is undesirable because it may lead to loss of communication opportunities between the receiver and the reporter.

In this case, it is possible to automatically approve the report on the site side, but if the report is approved indefinitely, a report against the intention of the receiver will be posted, or even a report with insufficient content will give points to the reporter There is a possibility that a problem such as that may occur.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and while reducing the burden on the reporter's report approval, the receiver and the reporter are able to simultaneously suppress the deterioration of the quality of the report publication page and the reduction in the number of report publications. The purpose is to promote communication with each other.

The information processing apparatus according to the present invention provides the intimacy between a reporter who is a user who has posted a recipe on a website for posting a recipe and a reporter who is a user who has posted a report on a posted recipe by the receiver. When an intimacy evaluation unit that evaluates based on information associated with each reporter and an intimacy reporter that is a reporter with a certain degree of intimacy or more, submits the report, the reporter is requested to approve the report. After that, even if there is no manual approval from the receiver, the report approval process is performed according to the passage of time, and when a non-intimate reporter that is a reporter whose intimacy is not more than the predetermined level has posted a report, While requesting approval for the report, do not perform report approval processing over time A certification control unit, in which comprises a.

According to the present invention, the posting report of the intimate reporter is automatically approved as time elapses, so that it is possible to save the trouble of approving the reporter for those reports. In addition, by performing automatic approval, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the number of reports published.
In the present invention, the report by the non-intimate reporter is not subject to automatic approval, and manual approval by the receiver is required. For this reason, the deterioration of the quality of the posted report is suppressed.
Furthermore, as described above, requesting manual approval of a receiver in a report by a non-intimate reporter gives the receiver an opportunity to communicate with the non-intimate reporter. It is possible. In addition, the promotion of communication in this way contributes to the improvement of intimacy between the receiver and the intimate reporter, and the report can be automatically approved the next time a report is posted from the intimate reporter. Increases nature. Increasing the possibility of automatic approval contributes to reducing the burden associated with the reporter's report approval.

In the information processing apparatus according to the present invention described above, an inappropriate reporter determination unit that determines whether or not the reporter is an inappropriate reporter based on a result of evaluating information reliability of a report posted by the reporter in the past. The approval control unit determines whether the report is an inappropriate report that is a report posted by the inappropriate reporter before requesting the receiver to approve the unapproved report. If it is determined that there is, it is possible not to request approval for the report.

∙ As a result, reporter reports that are determined to be inappropriate by the system in advance are not required to be approved. This eliminates the need for approval by the receiver for the report.

In the information processing apparatus according to the present invention described above, the inappropriate reporter determination unit posts a report using the same or similar images to a plurality of recipes as to whether or not the reporter is the inappropriate reporter. It is possible to determine based on whether or not there is.

This makes it possible to perform an evaluation suitable for the report for the recipe as an evaluation of the information reliability of the report.

In the information processing apparatus according to the present invention described above, the closeness evaluation unit can evaluate the closeness based on the number of past report approvals to the reporter by the receiver.

The number of past report approvals for the reporter by the receiver functions as an index for estimating the frequency of communication between the two.
Further, a reporter whose posting report has not been automatically approved is designed to automatically approve the posting report while repeating the posting of the report to the receiver. In other words, the reporter saves time and effort to approve the report for the same reporter while repeating report approval for the same reporter.

In the information processing apparatus according to the present invention described above, the closeness evaluation unit can evaluate the closeness based on the reporter's report posting count for the posting recipe by the reporter.

∙ The number of reporter submissions for the recipe submitted by the reporter also serves as an index for estimating the frequency of communication between the two.

In the information processing apparatus according to the present invention described above, the closeness evaluation unit can evaluate the closeness based on the number of approvals for the posting report of the receiver for the posting recipe by the reporter.

This will allow the intimacy between the receiver and reporter to be more appropriately evaluated.

In the information processing apparatus according to the present invention described above, the approval control unit can adjust the timing for requesting the approval based on the analysis result of the report approval behavior of the receiver in the past.

This makes it possible to make an approval request at an appropriate timing according to the characteristics of the report approval action by the receiver, such as requesting an earlier approval from a receiver whose approval to the report is delayed.

In the information processing apparatus according to the present invention described above, when there are a plurality of unapproved reports as posting reports for the recipe recipe of the receiver, the approval control unit is configured to request individual approval reports for the receiver. It is possible to make a request in a format in which an approval instruction operation can be performed.

This increases the ease of report approval by the receiver.

In the information processing apparatus according to the present invention described above, the approval control unit can make a request in a format that allows the reporter to perform a registration instruction operation to the intimate reporter as an approval request for the receiver.

This enables the receiver to manually register the non-intimate reporter with the intimate reporter.
Whether or not sufficient feeling of intimacy is felt may differ depending on the personality of the receiver and the contents of communication with the reporter, and there may be a case where sufficient intimacy is established even if there is little communication. For this reason, as the registration of the intimate reporter, not only automatic registration based on closeness but also manual registration is possible, so that the number of persons subject to automatic approval is expected to increase.

In the information processing apparatus according to the present invention described above, the approval control unit may be posted on the website on condition that the report is approved and a reply is input from the receiver. It is possible to control.

This makes it necessary for the reporter to communicate with the reporter in the form of a reply to the report when posting the posted report.

In the information processing apparatus according to the present invention described above, when there are a plurality of unapproved reports in the posting report for the recipe recipe of the receiver, the approval control unit is configured as an individual unapproved report as a request for approval for the receiver. It is possible to make a request in a format in which the reply can be input.

This will make it easier to input a reply to the posted report.

In the information processing apparatus according to the present invention described above, the approval control unit can accept input of fixed reply information, which is information in which the reply content is set to a fixed content, as the reply input.

This makes it possible for the receiver to input the reply to the post report by inputting, for example, a fixed phrase or a stamp.

In addition, the information processing method according to the present invention provides a degree of intimacy between a reporter who is a user who has posted a recipe on a website posting a recipe and a reporter who is a user who has posted a report on a recipe posted by the receiver. , An intimacy evaluation step that evaluates based on information associated with each reporter, and an intimate reporter that is a reporter with an intimacy greater than a certain degree posts the report, the reporter approves the report After requesting, the report approval process is performed according to the passage of time without manual approval from the receiver, and when a non-intimate reporter who is a reporter whose intimacy is not the predetermined level or more submits a report, While requesting the reporter to approve the report, report approval processing over time And admission control step is not performed, which is a processing method of an information processing apparatus executes.

[1-1. Overview of network system]

FIG. 1 shows an example of a network system 1 assumed in the present embodiment.
In the network system 1, for example, the recipe site server 31 and the plurality of user terminals 4 in the recipe site operating system 3 can communicate with each other via a network 2 as the Internet.

The user terminal 4 is a computer device provided with a web browser. Examples of the user terminal 4 include a high-function mobile phone (smart phone), a mobile phone, a portable information terminal (tablet terminal), and a portable or stationary personal computer (PC). It is not limited to.
The user terminal 4 requests a web page or predetermined processing by transmitting an HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) request to the recipe site server 31 or the like in the recipe site operating system 3. The user terminal 4 receives web page data (for example, HTML (HyperText Markup Language) data) sent in response to the HTTP request, and performs a web page display process by the web browser based on the web page data. . Thereby, the user can browse and operate a desired web page.

The recipe site management system 3 includes a recipe site server 3a, a user DB (database) 32, a recipe DB 33, a report DB 34, and an intimacy information DB 35, each of which is constituted by a computer device. Each of these devices can communicate with each other via a network such as a LAN (Local Area Network).

The recipe site server 31 is an information processing apparatus that performs various processes related to a recipe site, which is a website where a recipe for posting a recipe for cooking and a recipe are presented.
The user DB 32 stores various types of information related to users who use the recipe site.

Here, the user can register as a member in the recipe site management system 3 when using the recipe site. When registering a member, the user registers necessary information such as contact information such as a user ID (user identification information), a password, a name, and an e-mail address. The user can receive various services required for login provided by the recipe site by logging in to the recipe site using the registered user ID and password. For example, posting a recipe described below, posting a creation report for a recipe, and the like.

In the user DB 32, various types of information related to users as members are stored for each user ID. The user DB 32 stores the necessary information as information related to the user. Further, the user DB 32 also stores information (hereinafter referred to as “behavior history information”) related to various behavior histories of the user at the recipe site, such as recipe browsing and favorite recipe registration.
The action history information in this example will be described later.

The recipe site server 31 performs various processes based on the HTTP request sent from the user terminal 4. For example, a web page for accepting submission of a recipe is presented to the user, and recipe information (information indicating the contents of the recipe) is registered in the recipe DB 33 based on information input to the web page.

The recipe information includes, for example, information on a recipe name, a cooking ID, a genre, the number of people, used ingredients and their amounts, used seasonings and their amounts, cooking procedures, and cooking images.
The dish ID is an identifier for identifying a dish created according to the recipe information. The genre information is genre information to which the dish belongs, and includes various classifications such as “meat dish”, “fish dish”, “salad”, and “drink”, for example. The information on the number of persons is information indicating how many servings the target dish created according to the recipe information. Further, the dish image is an image that should represent the finished dish, and for example, a posted image by the user is used.

The posted recipe is assigned a recipe ID, which is an identifier for uniquely identifying the recipe, and the recipe information is associated with (associated with) the recipe ID and stored in the recipe DB 33. .

Hereafter, the user who posted the recipe is referred to as “Recipa”.

The recipe site server 31 performs processing for posting a recipe on the recipe site based on the storage information of the recipe DB 33. Specifically, the recipe site server 31 of this example performs a recipe search process based on a search condition such as a search keyword specified by the user, and presents a web page on which a recipe that matches the search condition is presented to the user I do.

In addition, the recipe site server 31 accepts submission of a creation report from the user who created the dish according to the recipe information. The creation report is information that can be posted for each recipe. For example, the creation report is information that should include information such as an impression of creating a dish and a comment on a recipe. In the present embodiment, as a creation report, not only text information but also an image representing the created dish can be posted.
The recipe site server 31 presents the user with a web page for accepting submission of a creation report, and performs processing for registering the creation report in the report DB 34 based on information input to the web page.

A report ID, which is an identifier for uniquely identifying the created report, is assigned to the posted created report. The recipe site server 31 stores information on the created report and the user ID of the poster in the report DB 34 in association with the report ID.

Hereafter, the user who posted the creation report is referred to as “reporter”.

In addition, the recipe site server 31 receives an input of a reply comment from the receiver for the created creation report. Furthermore, the recipe site server 31 receives an input of a comment from a reporter for a reply comment.
When there is an input of a reply comment or reply comment from the reporter by the reporter, the recipe site server 31 corresponds the input reply comment or comment information for the reply comment with the report ID of the corresponding creation report. Then, it is stored in the report DB 34.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the creation report.
In this example, a creation report posted for a recipe is posted on the recipe posting page. Hereinafter, a recipe posting page is referred to as a “recipe page”.
On the recipe page, for example, recipe information corresponding to a recipe designated by the user through the above-described recipe search process or the like is posted. Specifically, the recipe page in this case includes recipe name information area Ar1 in which recipe name information is posted, dish photo posting area Ar2 in which dish photos are posted, and ingredients used, as recipe information information areas. As information on the amount, there are provided a material / quantity posting area Ar3 in which used ingredients, used seasonings and information on their quantities are respectively posted, and a cooking procedure posting area Ar4 in which information on cooking procedures is posted. Further, the recipe page in this case is provided with a report posting area Ar5 in which a creation report posted for the posted recipe on the recipe page is posted.

In the report posting area Ar5, a plurality of created reports can be posted. In the posting area of each created report, there is an area for posting posted photo images and text, and when there is a reply comment from a receiver and a comment input from a reporter for the reply comment Is provided with a button (“view other comments” in the figure) for instructing presentation of the comment information.

Here, the created creation report is posted on the recipe page under the condition that it is approved by the receiver in this embodiment. In addition, the recipe page of this example can also be called a report posting page in the sense that a creation report is posted.

Returning to FIG. 1, in the user DB 32, as the above-described behavior history information, in addition to the history information about the behavior such as browsing the recipe exemplified above, the posting of the recipe, the creation report, the approval of the creation report by the receiver, In addition, history information about various actions such as a reply to the created report by the receiver is stored. In this example, the action history information regarding these various actions is stored in the user DB 32 based on the result of the recipe site server 31 monitoring the user's actions.

Specifically, for the recipe browsing history information, the recipe site server 31 stores the recipe ID of the recipe viewed by the user in association with the user ID of the user. For recipe posting history information, the recipe ID of the recipe posted by the user is stored in association with the user ID of the user, and for report posting history information, the report ID of the created report posted by the user, and the created report The recipe ID of the posting destination recipe is stored in association with the user ID of the user.
Further, for the approval history information, the report ID of the created report approved by the user and the user ID of the reporter who posted the created report are stored in association with the user ID of the user, and the reply history to the report is stored. For the information, the report ID of the created report for which the user has input a reply comment is stored in association with the user ID of the user.
In addition, each action history information stored in the user DB 32 such as the above recipe browsing history information, recipe posting history information, report posting history information, approval history information, reply history information, etc. Is also stored.

In addition, in the user DB 32 of this example, the inappropriate flag Fi and the delay tendency flag Fd are stored in association with each user ID. The inappropriate flag Fi and the delay tendency flag Fd will be described later.

In addition, in FIG. 1, the memory | storage information of the intimacy information DB35 with which the recipe site management system 3 is provided is mentioned later.

In FIG. 1, various examples of the configuration of the network 2 are assumed. For example, the Internet, intranet, extranet, LAN (Local Area Network), CATV (Community Antenna TeleVision) communication network, virtual private network, telephone line network, mobile communication network, satellite communication network, etc. Is assumed.

[1-2. Hardware configuration of computer device]

FIG. 3 shows a hardware configuration of a computer device constituting each device (user DB 32, recipe DB 33, report DB 34, intimacy information DB 35, and user terminal 4) including the recipe site server 31 shown in FIG.
In FIG. 3, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 101 of a computer apparatus performs various processes according to a program stored in a ROM (Read Only Memory) 102 or a program loaded from a storage unit 108 to a RAM (Random Access Memory) 103. Execute the process. The RAM 103 also appropriately stores data necessary for the CPU 101 to execute various processes.
The CPU 101, ROM 102, and RAM 103 are connected to each other via a bus 104. An input / output interface 105 is also connected to the bus 104.
The input / output interface 105 includes an input unit 106 including a keyboard, a mouse, and a touch panel, a display (display device) including an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube), an organic EL (Electroluminescence) panel, and a speaker. Are connected to a storage unit 108 composed of an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) or a flash memory device, and a communication unit 109 for mutual communication with an external device.
A media drive 110 is also connected to the input / output interface 105 as necessary, and a removable medium 111 such as a magnetic disk, an optical disk, a magneto-optical disk, or a semiconductor memory is appropriately mounted, and information can be written to the removable medium 111. Reading is performed.

In such a computer apparatus, data and programs can be uploaded and downloaded through communication by the communication unit 109, and data and programs can be transferred via the removable medium 111.
When the CPU 101 performs processing operations based on various programs, information processing and communication described below are executed particularly in the computer device as the recipe site server 31.

1 including the recipe site server 31 is not limited to a single computer device as shown in FIG. 3, and a plurality of computer devices may be configured as a system. Good. The plurality of computer devices may be systemized by a LAN or the like, or may be arranged at a remote place by a VPN using the Internet or the like.

[1-3. Approval control method as the first embodiment]

With reference to the functional block diagram of FIG. 4, various functions related to the approval control as the first embodiment realized by the recipe site server 31 will be described.
As shown in the figure, the recipe site server 31 can be expressed as having a closeness evaluation processing unit F1, an inappropriate reporter determination processing unit F2, and an approval control processing unit F3 for each function.

The familiarity evaluation processing unit F1 evaluates the familiarity between the receiver and the reporter based on information associated with the receiver and the reporter.
The familiarity evaluation processing unit F1 in this example evaluates the familiarity between the receiver and the reporter based on the action history information stored in the user DB 32. Specifically, the familiarity evaluation processing unit F1 evaluates the familiarity between the two based on the past report approval count for the reporter by the receiver. For example, if user A is a reporter, and user B is a reporter who has posted a creation report for user A's posted recipe, user B can create a report that has been posted by user A in the past. The number of approved created reports is specified as the above “number of report approvals”.

In the recipe site, the number of past report approvals for the reporter by the receiver functions as an index for estimating the communication frequency between the two. For this reason, it is possible to appropriately evaluate the intimacy between the receiver and the reporter by specifying the number of report approvals.
Here, as will be described later, in this embodiment, for a reporter as an “intimate reporter” whose intimacy with a receiver is a certain degree or higher, a report posted to the receiver is automatically approved. . For this reason, being able to appropriately evaluate the intimacy as described above means that a reporter with a relatively high degree of intimacy can be automatically approved.

In addition, when the reporter has posted a creation report in the past with respect to a posted recipe by the reporter, the closeness evaluation processing unit F1 determines the familiarity based on the number of report submissions of the reporter to the posted recipe by the reporter. evaluate. At this time, the intimacy evaluation processing unit F1 also considers the number of approvals for the reporter posting report for the posting recipe by the reporter.
Specifically, the intimacy evaluation processing unit F1 of this example specifies the above-mentioned “report approval count” and reports the reporter when the reporter has posted a created report in the past with respect to the posting recipe by the reporter. The number of postings of the reporter for the posting recipe by and the number of times the reporter has approved the posting report of the receiver. Then, the closeness between the receiver and the reporter is calculated based on the specified number of times. In this example, the total value of these specified number of times is calculated as the familiarity.

Here, the reporter's report submission count for the posting recipe by the reporter also functions as an index for estimating the communication frequency between the two. Therefore, by evaluating the intimacy as described above, it is possible to appropriately evaluate the intimacy between both the receiver and the reporter. Furthermore, it is possible to automatically approve reporters with relatively high intimacy.

In addition, as described above, considering the number of approvals by the reporter for the reporter's post report in evaluating the intimacy, the intimacy between the receiver and the reporter is more appropriately evaluated, and the intimacy accuracy is even higher. Reporter can be automatically approved.

In the above evaluation of intimacy, “approval” should be at least subject to manual approval by the user. Or the automatic approval mentioned later can also be included in object.

Subsequently, the inappropriate reporter determination processing unit F2 determines whether or not the reporter is an inappropriate reporter based on the result of evaluating the information reliability of the report posted by the reporter in the past.
Here, the recipe site may give incentives such as points to the reporter every time a creation report for a recipe is posted. In that case, the information reliability is low for the purpose of earning incentives, etc. Reporters that post a relatively large amount of created reports may appear. For this type of reporter, requesting approval from the receiver for the post report is undesirable because it increases the burden on the approval of the receiver. For this reason, in this embodiment, this type of reporter is specified as an “unsuitable reporter”, and a post report from the unsuitable reporter is excluded from the approval request as described later.

The inappropriate reporter determination processing unit F2 of this example determines whether or not the reporter is an inappropriate reporter based on whether or not the reporter has posted reports using the same or similar images to a plurality of recipes.
For unsuitable reporters for the purpose of rough earning such as points, it is troublesome to take pictures of the dishes created when posting the creation report, such as changing the same image or the overall brightness and color slightly It has been confirmed that similar images, such as those with relatively minor image processing, are reused between submission reports for each of a plurality of recipes. Specifically, for example, when a recipe a by Recipe A, a recipe b by Recipe B, and a recipe c by Recipe C are posted as a recipe for a certain “dish r”, the recipe a, recipe b, recipe In this case, a creation report using the same or similar image is posted to each of c.
In view of this point, in this example, an inappropriate reporter is determined based on the similarity between images used in reports submitted to a plurality of recipes.

In determining the inappropriate reporter, the inappropriate reporter determination processing unit F2 first identifies a plurality of generated reports with different posting destination recipes from among the generated reports posted by the target reporter in the past, and is used in those generated reports. Get each image you have. Then, for each acquired image, the degree of similarity between all the other acquired images is calculated, and images having a degree of similarity greater than or equal to a certain value are specified as the same or similar images. At this time, for example, it is conceivable that the target reporter uses the same or similar images for each dish. In this case, a plurality of sets can be specified as the same or similar images. For example, when the total number of acquired images is “10”, the combination of “image g1, image g2, image g3” and the combination of “image g5, image g6, image g7” ≧ Identified as an image having a relationship of a certain value.

It should be noted that a known method can be adopted as a method for evaluating the similarity between images. For example, the degree of coincidence of the edges detected from each image to be compared can be calculated as the similarity. Alternatively, for example, an average pixel value difference is calculated between target images for each area constituting the image, such as an area with a 4 × 4 pixel size, and the total value of the differences is calculated as a similarity. A technique can also be adopted, and the technique for evaluating the degree of similarity is not limited to a specific technique.

The inappropriate reporter determination processing unit F2 determines that the target reporter is an inappropriate reporter if the number of identified identical or similar images is equal to or greater than a certain value. This corresponds to determining that the reporter is an inappropriate reporter if the information reliability of the posted report by the target reporter is below a certain level.
Here, when a plurality of sets of the same or similar images are specified as described above, that is, when a plurality of the same or similar images are calculated, if the maximum number among them is a certain value or more, , It is determined that the target reporter is an inappropriate reporter.
Hereinafter, the same or similar images are referred to as “same / similar images”.

For the reporter determined to be an inappropriate reporter, the inappropriate reporter determination processing unit F2 sets the inappropriate flag Fa associated with the reporter's user ID and stored in the user DB 32 from OFF (for example, “0”) to ON (for example, “1”). )) Is performed.

The approval control processing unit F3 performs control related to the approval of the created report posted by the reporter based on the closeness between the reporter and the reporter evaluated by the closeness evaluation processing unit F1. Specifically, the approval control processing unit F3, when an intimate reporter that is a reporter with a closeness of a certain degree or more, submits a report, after requesting the reporter to approve the report, manual approval from the receiver Even if not, the report approval process is performed according to the passage of time, and if a non-intimate reporter who is a reporter whose intimacy is not more than a certain degree posts the report, the reporter is requested to approve the report, but the time has passed The report approval process according to is not performed.
In other words, the approval request is performed for both the posting report by the intimate reporter and the posting report by the non-intimate reporter, but the report approval processing according to the passage of time, that is, the automatic approval by the recipe site server 31 is performed. It is performed only for the contribution report by.

First, the intimacy reporter determination performed by the approval control processing unit F3 will be described.
In this example, every time a creation report for a recipe is posted, the familiarity evaluation processing unit F1 calculates the familiarity between the receiver and the reporter, and the approval control processing unit F3 is based on the calculated familiarity. Determine whether the reporter is an intimate reporter. As described above, the approval control processing unit F3 of the present example uses different intimacy calculation methods depending on whether or not the reciever evaluation processing unit F1 has posted a creation report in the past for a posting recipe by a reporter. Corresponding to the selection, it is determined whether the reporter is an intimate reporter using different threshold values. Specifically, for the intimacy calculated when the reporter has not posted a creation report in the past for the posting recipe by the reporter, the intimacy is set to a threshold value (hereinafter referred to as “first” It is determined whether or not it is an intimate reporter by whether or not it is greater than or equal to the “intimacy threshold”, and the intimacy calculated when the reporter has posted a creation report in the past for the posting recipe by the reporter, Whether or not the intimacy is an intimacy reporter is determined based on whether or not the intimacy is equal to or higher than a threshold (hereinafter referred to as “second intimacy threshold”) set in correspondence with the case.

When it is determined that the reporter is an intimate reporter, the approval control processing unit F3 stores information indicating that the reporter is an intimate reporter in the intimacy information DB 35. Specifically, the user ID of the reporter determined to be an intimate reporter is stored in association with the user ID of the reporter.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating information stored in the intimacy information DB 35.
By performing the storage process by the approval control processing unit F3 as described above, in the intimacy information DB 35, information indicating which user is the intimacy reporter for the user is constructed for each user as a receiver. The

The approval control processing unit F3 controls the approval of the created report based on the determination result of the intimate reporter as described above. Specifically, when an intimate reporter for a receiver submits a creation report to a recipe submitted by a certain receiver, the approval control processing unit F3 requests the receiver to approve the creation report, and then creates the creation from the receiver. Even if the report is not manually approved, the report approval process is performed according to the passage of time.
In addition, when a non-intimate reporter who is not an intimate reporter for a recipe for a recipe submitted by a certain receiver submits a creation report, the request for approval of the creation report is requested from the receiver, while the time elapsed for the creation report. The report approval process according to is not performed.

With reference to FIG. 6, the approval request for the created report will be described.
In the case of this example, the approval request is made by sending an e-mail to the target receiver. Hereinafter, an e-mail requesting approval in this way is referred to as an “approval request mail”.
In this example, if there are multiple unapproved reports as post reports for the recipe recipe of the target receiver, the approval request for the created report is made in a format that requests approval for the multiple unapproved reports at once. .
FIG. 6 shows an example of an approval request mail in a format that requests approval for a plurality of unapproved reports in this way.

In the approval request mail in this case, a message requesting approval for the unapproved report is presented, and information for specifying the unapproved report requesting approval, specifically the unapproved report in the example of FIG. Image and text information representing the content of the post will be presented.

Furthermore, in the approval request mail in this example, an approval check box Cb1 is provided for each unapproved report for enabling an approval instruction operation for each unapproved report. When the user approves an unapproved report, the user checks the approval check box cb1 provided for the corresponding unapproved report, and operates the send button B1 provided in the approval request mail. Thereby, information instructing approval for the checked unapproved report is returned to the recipe site server 31, and the recipe site server 31 (approval control processing unit F 3) determines the corresponding unapproved report based on the information. Perform the approval process.

In this way, in this example, as a request for approval to the receiver, a request is made in a format that allows an approval instruction operation for each unapproved report. Thereby, the ease of report approval by the receiver increases, and the effect of suppressing the reduction in the number of report publications can be enhanced. Further, communication between the receiver and the non-intimate reporter can be promoted.

The approval request mail in this case is provided with a registration check box cb2 for enabling a registration instruction operation to the intimate reporter of the reporter who posted the unapproved report. The registration check box cb2 is provided in the approval request mail only when the posting reporter of the created report that requires approval includes a non-intimate reporter. When there are a plurality of corresponding non-intimate reporters, the registration check box cb2 is provided for each of the non-intimate reporters.
When registering in the intimate reporter, the user checks the corresponding registration check box cb2 and operates the send button B1 provided in the approval request mail. As a result, information for instructing registration of the checked reporter to the intimate reporter is returned to the recipe site server 31, and the recipe site server 31 performs processing for registering the corresponding reporter as the intimate reporter based on the information. Specifically, as information storage processing for the intimate information DB 35, processing is performed in which the user ID of the reporter that is the registration target is associated with the user ID of the corresponding receiver and stored.

As described above, by making a request in a format that allows the reporter to instruct to register with the intimate reporter as an approval request to the reporter, the receiver can manually register the non-intimate reporter with the intimate reporter.
Whether or not sufficient feeling of intimacy is felt may differ depending on the personality of the receiver and the contents of communication with the reporter, and there may be a case where sufficient intimacy is established even if there is little communication. For this reason, as the registration of the intimate reporter, not only automatic registration based on closeness but also manual registration is possible, so that the number of persons subject to automatic approval is expected to increase. Therefore, it is possible to increase the effect of suppressing the trouble related to the user's report approval.
In addition, since the registration request operation to the intimate reporter is enabled in the approval request, it is not necessary to send information for prompting the registration of the intimate reporter to the user separately from the approval request, and the processing load of the recipe site server 31 is eliminated. Mitigation can be achieved.

As described above, the approval control processing unit F3 automatically performs an approval process with the passage of time after making an approval request for the created report posted by the intimate reporter. The approval control processing unit F3 of this example executes the approval process for the created report according to the fact that the elapsed time from the date when the approval request for the created report is made has become a certain time or more.

Note that the approval control processing unit F3 of this example turns off the approval flag Fa prepared for each created report as an automatic approval process as described above and an approval process based on the operation of the receiver (for example, “0”). To change from ON to ON (for example, “1”).
In this example, the approval flag Fa is information stored in the report DB 34 in association with each report ID.

Here, the approval control processing unit F3 determines whether or not an unapproved report is an inappropriate report that is a report posted by an inappropriate reporter before requesting approval from the receiver. If it is determined that the report is inappropriate, the report is not requested for approval. In this example, the user as an inappropriate reporter is managed by ON / OFF of the inappropriate flag Fi stored in the user DB 32 by the process of the inappropriate reporter determination processing unit F2 described above. If the inappropriate flag Fi associated with the user who posted the target report is ON, the approval control processing unit F3 determines that the report is an inappropriate report and excludes the report from the approval request. .

∙ As a result, reporter creation reports that are determined to be inappropriate by the system in advance are not required to be approved by the receiver. For this reason, the trouble of approval by the receiver for the report is saved, and therefore, the burden suppressing effect related to the report approval of the receiver can be enhanced.

Further, the approval control processing unit F3 adjusts the timing of requesting approval based on the result of analyzing the report approval behavior of the receiver in the past.
Specifically, in this example, as the analysis of the above report approval behavior, the time required from the approval request to the approval of the past approved report of the receiver is analyzed. Specifically, for the past approved report of the receiver, the average value of the time required from the approval request to the approval is calculated, and the timing for requesting the approval is adjusted according to the size of the average value.
In this example, the approval request timing is adjusted so that the approval request timing is advanced as the average value increases (that is, the approval tends to be delayed).

For example, the following method is adopted as a method for adjusting the timing for requesting approval.
First, as a premise, in this example, an approval request for an unapproved report for the posted recipe is made for each posted recipe in accordance with the following (Condition 1) or (Condition 2).
(Condition 1) The number of unapproved reports is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold (hereinafter referred to as “number threshold th”).
(Condition 2) The elapsed time from the posting date of the oldest unapproved report is equal to or longer than a predetermined threshold (hereinafter referred to as “time threshold TH”).
Under this premise, the smaller the average value, the smaller the number threshold th and the time threshold TH.

In this example, the approval request timing is adjusted in two stages. Specifically, the approval control processing unit F3 determines a receiver whose average value is equal to or greater than a predetermined value as a “lagging tendency user”, and the lagging tendency flag Fi stored in association with each user ID in the user DB 32. Among them, the delay tendency flag Fi associated with the user ID of the receiver is changed from OFF (for example, “0”) to ON (for example, “1”).
The approval control processing unit F3, when the target receiver is a delayed tendency user with a delayed tendency flag Fi = ON, is more than the above-mentioned number threshold than when it is a non-delayed tendency user with a delayed tendency flag Fi = OFF. A threshold having a smaller value is used as th and the time threshold TH. As a result, the timing for requesting approval for a receiver whose approval tends to be delayed is earlier than usual.

Here, as described above, the approval control processing unit F3 automatically sets a posting report by an intimate reporter having a closeness with a receiver as a certain degree or more. In this case, when the closeness evaluation processing unit F1 evaluates the closeness based on the “number of reporter past report approvals by the reporter” as described above, the reporter whose post report is not automatically approved is While posting a report to, the posting report is automatically approved. In other words, the reporter can save the trouble of performing report approval for the reporter while repeating report approval for the same reporter, and in this respect, the burden on the approval of the reporter can be reduced.

[1-4. Processing procedure]

With reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 7 to 11, the procedure of processing to be executed to realize the technique as the first embodiment will be described. 7 to 11 is executed by the CPU 101 in the recipe site server 31 based on a program stored in a predetermined storage device such as the ROM 102 or the storage unit 108 in the recipe site server 31, for example.

FIG. 7 shows processing related to determination of an intimate reporter.
In FIG. 7, the recipe site server 31 waits until a creation report is posted in step S101. If the creation report is posted, the reporter and the recipe of the target recipe are specified in step S102. That is, the user ID is specified for each of a user as a reporter of a posted report and a recipe targeted by the report, in other words, a user as a reciper who has posted a recipe as a posting destination of the report.

In step S103 following step S102, the recipe site server 31 specifies the number of report approvals to the reporter by the receiver. That is, based on the above-described approval history information stored in the user DB 32, the number of report approvals to the reporter in the past by the receiver is specified.

In step S104 following step S103, the recipe site server 31 determines whether or not the recipe has been posted to the reporter's posted recipe in the past. This determination can be made based on the aforementioned report posting history information and recipe posting history information stored in the user DB 32.

In step S104, if the reporter has not posted a report to the reporter's posted recipe in the past, the recipe site server 31 proceeds to step S105, and calculates the closeness between the receiver and the reporter based on the specified number of times information. . In this example, the report approval count specified in step S103 is handled as the familiarity. For this reason, the calculation process of step S105 can be made unnecessary.
In step S106 following step S105, the recipe site server 31 determines whether or not the familiarity is greater than or equal to the first intimacy threshold described above. If the familiarity is greater than or equal to the first intimacy threshold, the process proceeds to step S111. In close reporter registration process. That is, for the reporter and the reporter identified in step S102, a process of storing the reporter user ID in the intimacy information DB 35 in association with the reporter user ID is performed.
If it is determined in step S106 that the familiarity is not equal to or greater than the first intimacy threshold, the recipe site server 31 passes the process of step S111 and ends the process shown in FIG.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S104 that the reporter has posted a report for the reporter's posted recipe in the past, the recipe site server 31 proceeds to step S107 and specifies the reporter's report posting count for the posted recipe by the reporter. . The number of report postings can be specified based on report posting history information and recipe posting history information stored in the user DB 32.

In step S108 following step S107, the recipe site server 31 specifies the number of report approvals to the receiver by the reporter. That is, the number of posting reports approved by the reporter among the posting reports of the recipe for the posting recipe by the reporter is specified.

In step S109 following step S108, the recipe site server 31 calculates the intimacy between the receiver and the reporter based on the specified number of times information, that is, the number of times information specified in steps S103, S107, and S108. Specifically, in this example, the total value of the specified number of times is calculated as the familiarity.

In step S110 following step S109, the recipe site server 31 determines whether or not the intimacy is equal to or greater than the second intimacy threshold described above. If the intimacy is equal to or greater than the second intimacy threshold, the process proceeds to step S111. Perform reporter registration processing.
In response to the execution of the process of step S111, the recipe site server 31 ends the process shown in FIG.

On the other hand, if the closeness is not greater than or equal to the second closeness threshold value in step S110, the recipe site server 31 passes the process in step S111 and ends the process shown in FIG.

Note that, in the calculation process of step S109, the calculation method of the familiarity is not limited to the above method.
For example, a value obtained by adding or multiplying a numerical value corresponding to the number of approvals specified in step S108 to the number of report postings specified in step S107 is obtained, and the value is added to the number of report approvals specified in step S103. There are various methods for calculating intimacy, such as obtaining a value as intimacy.

FIG. 8 shows processing related to determination of an inappropriate reporter.
In this example, the process related to the determination of the inappropriate reporter is repeatedly performed on the time axis by, for example, batch processing based on the storage information in the report DB 34.
First, in step S201, the recipe site server 31 sets the user identification value u to the start value uS. The user identification value u is an identification value for identifying a user to be processed, and the start value uS is set as a value for specifying a range (number of users) of users to be processed together with an end value uE to be described later. It is what is done.

In step S202 following step S201, the recipe site server 31 determines whether or not the number of creation report postings by the u-th user is n or more (n is a natural number of 2 or more). If the number of creation report postings by the u-th user is not n or more, the recipe site server 31 advances the process to step S209 described later. That is, in this example, the inappropriate reporter is determined based on the similarity between the images. Therefore, when it is predicted that a plurality of images required for the determination cannot be acquired, the inappropriate reporter determination described below is performed. The processing (S203 to S208) is passed.

In step S202, when the number of creation report postings by the u-th user is n or more, the recipe site server 31 proceeds to step S203, determines whether there is a creation report with a different posting destination recipe, and the posting destination recipe is If there is no different creation report, the process proceeds to step S209.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S203 that there is a creation report with a different posting destination recipe, the recipe site server 31 acquires a posted image of each creation report in step S204. That is, the posting image of each creation report as a creation report with a different posting destination recipe is acquired.

In step S205 following step S204, the recipe site server 31 evaluates the similarity between images. That is, as described above, in this example, the degree of similarity between each acquired image and all other acquired images is calculated.

In step S206 following step S205, the recipe site server 31 determines whether there is an identical / similar image. As described above, in this example, images having a relationship of similarity of a certain value or more are specified as the same / similar images.
If there is no identical / similar image, the recipe site server 31 advances the process to step S209. That is, in this case, the u-th user is not determined as an inappropriate reporter.

On the other hand, if there is an identical / similar image, the recipe site server 31 proceeds to step S207 and determines whether the number of identical / similar images is m or more (m is a natural number of 2 or more). Here, as described above, a plurality of sets can be specified as the same / similar images, and when a plurality of sets are specified as the same / similar images, that is, a plurality of the same / similar images are calculated. In step S207, it is determined whether or not the maximum number is m or more.
If the number of identical / similar images is not greater than or equal to m, the recipe site server 31 advances the process to step S209.

If the number of identical / similar images is greater than or equal to m, the recipe site server 31 proceeds to step S208 and performs improper setting processing for the u-th user. That is, a process of turning on the inappropriate flag Fa associated with the user ID of the u-th user and stored in the user DB 32 is performed.

In step S209 following step S208, the recipe site server 31 determines whether or not the user identification value u is greater than or equal to the end value uE. This is equivalent to determining whether or not the target processing (the processing of steps S202 to S208) has been completed for all users within the processing target range set by the start value uS and the end value uE described above. To do.
If the user identification value u is not equal to or greater than the end value uE, the recipe site server 31 proceeds to step S210, increments the user identification value u by 1, and then returns to step S202 described above.
On the other hand, if the user identification value u is equal to or greater than the end value uE, the recipe site server 31 ends the process shown in FIG.

Note that the process shown in FIG. 8 can be performed by excluding a user who has already been determined as an inappropriate reporter from the processing target.

FIG. 9 shows processing related to determination of a user who tends to be late.
In this example, the processing related to the determination of the user who tends to be delayed is repeatedly performed on the time axis by, for example, batch processing based on the above-described approval history information.
In FIG. 9, the recipe site server 31 sets the user identification value u to the start value uS in step S 301, and then determines in step S 302 whether the number of report approvals for the u-th user is multiple. If the report approval frequency of the u-th user is not a plurality of times, the recipe site server 31 advances the processing to step S308 described later. As mentioned above, in this example, regarding the approval of the posted report by the receiver, the user who is lagging is judged based on the average value of the time from report posting to approval. The process (S303 to S307) for determining a user having a tendency to delay, which will be described in the above, is not performed.

On the other hand, if the report approval frequency of the u-th user is plural, the recipe site server 31 proceeds to step S303, and calculates the time required from posting to approval for each approved report. That is, for each approved report of the u-th user specified based on the approval history information, the time required from report posting to approval is calculated. The report posting date / time information of the approved report can be specified based on the report ID of the approved report and the report posting history information described above.

In step S304 following step S303, the recipe site server 31 calculates an average value of the calculated times, and determines in step S305 whether the average value is equal to or greater than a predetermined value.
If the average value is equal to or greater than the predetermined value, the recipe site server 31 executes processing for turning on the delay tendency flag Fd of the u-th user in step S306 and proceeds to step S308, and the average value must be equal to or greater than the predetermined value. For example, the recipe site server 31 executes a process of turning off the delay tendency flag Fd of the u-th user in step S307, and proceeds to step S308.

In step S308, the recipe site server 31 determines whether or not the user identification value u is equal to or greater than the end value uE. If the user identification value u is not equal to or greater than the end value uE, the process proceeds to step S309 and the user identification value u is set. After incrementing by 1, the process returns to step S302.
On the other hand, if the user identification value u is equal to or greater than the end value uE, the recipe site server 31 ends the process shown in FIG.

FIG. 10 shows processing related to the approval request.
In this example, the processing shown in FIG. 10 is also repeatedly performed on the time axis by, for example, batch processing.
In FIG. 10, the recipe site server 31 specifies a processing target receiver in step S401. That is, one receiver to be processed is specified from the receivers specified from the recipe posting history information described above.
In step S402 following step S401, the recipe site server 31 determines whether there is an unapproved report. That is, it is determined whether or not there is an unapproved report in the posted report for the posted recipe by the recipe specified in step S401. This determination can be made based on the report posting history information and the approval history information.

If it is determined in step S402 that there is no unapproved report, the recipe site server 31 finishes the process shown in FIG. That is, in this case, since there is no report that requires the receiver to approve, the process (S404 to S412) related to the approval request described below is not executed.

If it is determined in step S402 that there is an unapproved report, the recipe site server 31 proceeds to step S403, and determines whether there is an approval request report. That is, it is determined whether or not there is a report other than the inappropriate report in the unapproved report specified in step S402. The inappropriate report is specified as a created report posted by a user whose inappropriate flag Fi is ON.
Here, among the non-approved reports in which the post recipe by the processing target receiver is the post-destination recipe, the non-approved report excluding the inappropriate report is referred to as “required approval request report”.
If it is determined in step S403 that there is no approval request report, the recipe site server 31 ends the process shown in FIG.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S403 that there is a request for approval request report, the recipe site server 31 proceeds to step S404, specifies the number of approval request reports required, and posts the oldest approval request report in step S405. Specify the date and time. Hereinafter, the posting date of the oldest approval request report is referred to as “oldest posting date”.

In step 406 following step S405, the recipe site server 31 determines whether or not the processing target receiver is a user who tends to be late. That is, it is determined whether or not the user has the delay tendency flag Fd ON.
If the processing target receiver is not a delayed user, the recipe site server 31 proceeds to step S407, determines whether the number of approval request reports required is greater than or equal to the number threshold th1, and the number of approval request reports required must be greater than the number threshold th1. In step S408, it is determined whether the elapsed time from the oldest posting date is equal to or greater than the time threshold TH1. If the elapsed time from the oldest posting date / time is not equal to or greater than the time threshold TH1, the recipe site server 31 finishes the process shown in FIG. That is, in this case, since neither of (condition 1) and (condition 2) described above is satisfied, an approval request is not made.

If the number of approval request reports required in step S407 is greater than or equal to the threshold number th1, or if the elapsed time from the oldest posting date and time is greater than or equal to the time threshold value TH1 in step S408, the recipe site server 31 proceeds to step S411. Approval request processing for approval request report is performed. That is, a process for transmitting an approval request mail requesting approval for an approval request report to a user as a processing target receiver is performed.
At this time, as the approval request mail, an electronic mail in a format provided with the above-described check box cb1 is generated. If the approval request request report includes a post report from a non-intimate reporter for the processing target receiver, an e-mail is generated in a format provided with the registration check box cb2 for the corresponding reporter. .

In response to the execution of the approval request process in step S411, the recipe site server 31 executes an approval request date storage process in step S412. That is, out of the created reports for which approval is requested in the process of step S411, the created report whose request for approval is the first time is targeted, the approval request date and time of the created report (for example, in step S411). The process of storing the request process execution date and time) in the report DB 34 is performed.
In response to the execution of the process of step S412, the recipe site server 31 ends the process shown in FIG.

If it is determined in step S406 that the processing target receiver is a delayed user, the recipe site server 31 proceeds to step S409, determines whether the number of approval request reports required is equal to or greater than the number threshold th2, and If the number of approval request reports is not equal to or greater than the number threshold th2, the process proceeds to step S410 to determine whether or not the elapsed time from the oldest posting date is equal to or greater than the time threshold TH2. If the elapsed time from the oldest posting date / time is not equal to or greater than the time threshold value TH2, the recipe site server 31 ends the process shown in FIG.
Here, the number threshold th2 is smaller than the number threshold th1, and the time threshold TH2 is smaller than the time threshold TH1. Thereby, when the user to be processed is a user who tends to be late, an approval request is made at a timing earlier than usual.

If the number of approval request reports required in step S409 is equal to or greater than the number threshold th2, or if the elapsed time from the oldest posting date is equal to or greater than the time threshold TH2 in step S410, the recipe site server 31 requests the approval request in step S411. The processing is executed, and the storage processing of the approval request date and time in the subsequent step S412 is executed, and then the processing shown in FIG.

FIG. 11 shows processing related to automatic approval.
In this example, the processing shown in FIG. 11 is also repeatedly performed on the time axis by, for example, batch processing.
In FIG. 11, the recipe site server 31 performs a process of specifying a processing target receiver in step S 501 and determines in step S 502 whether there is an unapproved report. The processes in steps S501 and S502 are the same as the processes in steps S401 and S402 described with reference to FIG.

If it is determined in step S502 that there is no unapproved report, the recipe site server 31 ends the process shown in FIG. That is, in this case, since there is no report that should be automatically approved, the process (S504 to S509) related to automatic approval described below is not executed.

If it is determined in step S502 that there is an unapproved report, the recipe site server 31 proceeds to step S503, determines whether there is an approval request report required, and if it is determined that there is no approval request report, FIG. If it is determined that there is an approval request report, the process proceeds to step S504.

In step S504, the recipe site server 31 identifies the number of approval request reports (hereinafter referred to as “D”), and in step S505, sets the processing target report identification value d to the initial value “0”. The process target report identification value d is a value for identifying an approval request report that is a process target among approval request reports.

In step S506 following step S505, the recipe site server 31 determines whether the d-th report is a post report by an intimate reporter. This determination can be made based on the report ID of the d-th report, the storage information of the report DB 34, the user ID of the processing target receiver, and the storage information of the intimacy information DB 55. Specifically, the determination specifies the user ID of the posting reporter of the d th report based on the report ID of the d th report and the storage information of the report DB 34, and the specified user ID is stored in the storage information of the intimacy information DB 55. This is done by determining whether or not it is associated with the user ID of the processing target receiver.

If it is determined in step S506 that the d-th report is not a post report by an intimate reporter, the recipe site server 31 advances the process to step S510 described later. That is, in this case, automatic approval for the d-th report is not performed.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S506 that the d-th report is a post report by an intimate reporter, the recipe site server 31 proceeds to step S507 and specifies an approval request date and time for the d-th report. Specifically, the approval request date and time associated with the report ID of the d-th report among the approval request date and time stored in the report DB 34 by the processing of the previous step S412 is specified.

In step S508 following step S507, the recipe site server 31 determines whether or not the elapsed time from the specified approval request date and time is equal to or longer than a predetermined time. If the elapsed time is not equal to or longer than the predetermined time, the process proceeds to step S510. If the elapsed time is equal to or longer than the predetermined time, the process proceeds to step S509 to perform an approval process for the d-th report. That is, the process of turning ON the approval flag Fa associated with the report ID of the d-th report in the report DB 34 is performed.

In step S509 following step S508, the recipe site server 31 determines whether or not the processing target report identification value d is equal to or greater than “D” described above, and the processing target report identification value d must be equal to or greater than “D” described above. For example, the process proceeds to step S511, and the process target report identification value d is incremented by 1. Then, the process returns to step S505.
On the other hand, if the processing target report identification value d is equal to or greater than “D” described above, the recipe site server 31 ends the processing shown in FIG.

By repeatedly executing the processing shown in FIG. 11, among reports requiring approval for each receiver (non-approved reports other than the non-appropriate report), the posting report from the intimate reporter depends on the elapsed time from the approval request date and time. Automatic approval.

In the above, an example of performing evaluation based on action history information stored in the user DB 32 has been given as evaluation of intimacy. However, intimacy is, for example, a user ID (or user name, etc.) with a recipe site. Evaluation can also be made using friendship information between users in SNS (Social Networking Service) in which user-identifiable information) is linked (information for managing users who are registered as friends). Alternatively, when the recipe site server 31 can access information in a contact book (for example, a phone book or an e-mail address book) stored in a predetermined information processing apparatus such as the user terminal 4, the contact is made. Intimacy can also be evaluated using information in the book. For example, the closeness is evaluated by using information on whether or not the name information of the target reporter is registered in the contact book information stored in the user terminal 4 used by the user as the receiver.

Moreover, in the above, as an evaluation of the information reliability of the posted report performed in the determination of the inappropriate reporter, an example of performing the evaluation based on the similarity of the images used in the posted report is given, but as the evaluation of the information reliability, The evaluation is not limited to the evaluation based on the similarity of images, and for example, the evaluation can be performed based on the matching degree of characters between the posting reports. For example, if there are a large number of created reports that have a certain degree of character matching or more, it is estimated that the target reporter is likely to use the same comment. It can be evaluated that information reliability is low. Alternatively, an evaluation based on the length of time required from posting the target recipe to the target reporter (last browsing if the recipe is viewed multiple times) to posting the creation report for the recipe Can also be done. It can be evaluated that the more posted reports with a shorter time, the lower the information reliability of the posted report by the target reporter.

Furthermore, in the above, as an analysis of the report approval action to be performed in order to adjust the timing of the approval request, an example was given in which the time taken from the approval request to the approval for the approved report of the receiver was analyzed. It is also possible to perform analysis using other methods, such as analyzing the ratio of the number of created reports left unapproved out of the total number of created reports for which approval requests have been made in the past.

In the above, the case where the approval request is made by e-mail has been exemplified, but the approval request can also be made as a request on a specific web page at the recipe site, a request by a push notification to the user terminal 4, or the like. .

Moreover, although the example which performs the approval request | requirement with respect to a receiver by batch processing was mentioned above, the approval request | requirement with respect to a receiver can also be made whenever the report posting with respect to the posting recipe by this receiver is performed.
In this case, the determination process for the inappropriate reporter can be performed each time a report is posted to the posting recipe by the receiver.

[1-5. Summary of First Embodiment]

As described above, the information processing apparatus (recipe site server 31) according to the first embodiment is a user who has posted a report on a recipe submitted by a recipe and a recipe that is a user who has posted a recipe on a website that posts a recipe. A familiarity evaluation unit (familiarity evaluation processing unit F1) that evaluates the familiarity with a certain reporter based on information associated with each of the receiver and the reporter is provided.
In addition, if an intimate reporter who is a reporter with a certain degree of intimacy submits a report, after requesting the reporter to approve the report, the report according to the passage of time without manual approval from the receiver When an approval process is performed and a non-intimate reporter who is a reporter whose intimacy is not more than a certain degree posts a report, the reporter is requested to approve the report, but the report approval process is not performed over time. An approval control unit (approval control processing unit F3).

According to the information processing apparatus of the first embodiment, since the posting report of the intimate reporter is automatically approved as time elapses, it is possible to save time and effort for the approval of the receiver for these reports. In addition, by performing automatic approval, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the number of reports published.
In the first embodiment, the report by the non-intimate reporter is not subject to automatic approval, and manual approval by the receiver is required. For this reason, the deterioration of the quality of the posted report is suppressed.
Furthermore, as described above, requesting manual approval of a receiver in a report by a non-intimate reporter gives the receiver an opportunity to communicate with the non-intimate reporter. It is possible. In addition, the promotion of communication in this way contributes to the improvement of intimacy between the receiver and the intimate reporter, and the report can be automatically approved the next time a report is posted from the intimate reporter. Increases nature. Increasing the possibility of automatic approval contributes to reducing the burden associated with the reporter's report approval.

As described above, according to the first embodiment, while reducing the burden associated with the reporter's report approval, the receiver and the reporter are able to simultaneously suppress the deterioration in the quality of the report publication page and the reduction in the number of report publications. Communication between them can be promoted.
