 [2.信頼性評価の基本的な考え方]
 次に、本実施形態における第1の識別情報と第2の識別情報との紐付けの信頼性の評価の基本的な考え方を、図7を用いて説明する。
[2. Basic concept of reliability evaluation]
Next, the basic concept of evaluating the reliability of the association between the first identification information and the second identification information in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 7.
 本実施形態では、マッチングサーバ50は、同一のIPアドレスに対応する機器IDとクッキーIDとを紐付けることで機器ID及びクッキーIDの組合せを特定する。そして、マッチングサーバ50は、特定された組合せに係る機器ID及びクッキーIDが同一の個人又は集団に関する情報であることを示す度合いである信頼性を評価する。この信頼性が高いほど、特定された組合せに係る機器ID及びクッキーIDが同一の個人又は集団に関する情報である可能性が高くなることが想定される。 In the present embodiment, the matching server 50 specifies the combination of the device ID and the cookie ID by associating the device ID and the cookie ID corresponding to the same IP address. Then, the matching server 50 evaluates reliability, which is a degree indicating that the device ID and the cookie ID related to the specified combination are information about the same individual or group. It is assumed that the higher the reliability, the higher the possibility that the device ID and the cookie ID related to the specified combination are information about the same individual or group.
 ここで、ある機器ID及びクッキーIDが同一の個人/集団に関する情報である場合としては、例えば、その機器IDに係るコンテンツ出力装置10とそのクッキーIDに係る情報機器20とが同一の個人(ユーザ)/集団により保有されている場合等が挙げられる。なお、同一の集団としては、マンションなどの集合住宅に居住する複数の世帯の住民からなる集団や、会社や社団法人などの組織体の構成員からなる集団等が挙げられる。 Here, when a certain device ID and a cookie ID are information about the same individual / group, for example, the content output device 10 related to the device ID and the information device 20 related to the cookie ID are the same individual (user). ) / When it is owned by a group. The same group includes a group consisting of residents of a plurality of households living in a condominium or the like, a group consisting of members of an organization such as a company or an incorporated association, and the like.
 本実施形態では、信頼性は次の4つの基準である第1の基準、第2の基準、第3の基準及び第4の基準に基づいて総合的に評価される。
(1)第1の基準
 第1の基準は、同一のネットワーク識別情報(本実施形態では同一のIPアドレス)に対応する第1の識別情報(本実施形態では機器ID)の数である。ここで、マンションなどの集合住宅や、組織体(例えば会社、社団法人など)が保有する建物では、多数のコンテンツ出力装置10が存在し、当該多数のコンテンツ出力装置10が1つのIPアドレスで通信を行う場合がある。また、複数台のTVがある一戸建て住宅の場合も、当該複数台のTVが1つのIPアドレスで通信を行う場合がある。よって、集合住宅や、組織体が保有する建物或いは複数台のTVがある一戸建て住宅では、第1の基準が大きくなる傾向にある。逆にいえば、多数のTVがある一戸建て住宅など一部の例外を除いて、第1の基準が小さいほどその機器ID及びクッキーIDの組合せは一戸建て住宅に居住する世帯に関する情報である確率が高いと考えられる。また、第1の基準が大きいほどその機器ID及びクッキーIDの組合せは、集合住宅に居住する複数世帯や組織体に関する組合せである確率が高いと考えられる。
(2)第2の基準
 第2の基準は、同一のネットワーク識別情報(本実施形態ではIPアドレス)に対応する第2の識別情報(本実施形態ではクッキーID)の数である。集合住宅や、組織体が保有する建物では、複数世帯に渡る多数の人又は当該組織体に属する多数の人が保有する情報機器20(すなわち多数のブラウザ)が1つのIPアドレスで通信する場合がある。また、複数のブラウザ(すなわち複数の情報機器20)がある一戸建て住宅の場合も、複数台の情報機器20は1つのIPアドレスで通信を行う場合がある。よって、集合住宅や、組織体が保有する建物或いは複数台の情報機器20がある一戸建て住宅では、第2の基準が大きくなる傾向にある。逆にいえば、非常に多数の情報機器20がある一戸建て住宅など一部の例外を除いて、第2の基準が小さいほどそのIPアドレスに係る機器ID及びクッキーIDの組合せは一戸建て住宅に居住する世帯に関する情報である確率が高いと考えられる。また、第2の基準が大きいほどそのIPアドレスに係る機器ID及びクッキーIDの組合せは、集合住宅に居住する複数世帯や、会社などの組織体に関する組合せである確率が高いと考えられる。
(3)第3の基準
 第3の基準は、同一の第1の識別情報(本実施形態では同一の機器ID)に対応するネットワーク識別情報(本実施形態ではIPアドレス)の数である。第3の基準は、例えば、機器IDに係るコンテンツ出力装置10がモバイルルータに接続されている場合等に大きくなる。また第3の基準は、機器IDに係るコンテンツ出力装置10が、頻繁にIPアドレスを変更するインターネットプロバイダを介してインターネットに接続する場合等に大きくなる。
(4)第4の基準
 第4の基準は、同一の第2の識別情報(本実施形態では同一のクッキーID数)に対応するネットワーク識別情報(本実施形態ではIPアドレス)の数である。第4の基準は、例えば、クッキーIDに係る情報機器20が携帯情報端末である場合等に大きくなる。つまり、ユーザが複数の移動先で情報機器20を介してインターネットに接続すると、同一のクッキーIDに複数のIPアドレスが紐付き得るため第4の基準が大きくなり得る。
In the present embodiment, reliability is comprehensively evaluated based on the following four criteria, that is, the first criterion, the second criterion, the third criterion, and the fourth criterion.
(1) First Criteria The first criterion is the number of first identification information (device ID in this embodiment) corresponding to the same network identification information (same IP address in this embodiment). Here, in a condominium or other condominium or a building owned by an organization (for example, a company, an incorporated association, etc.), a large number of content output devices 10 exist, and the large number of content output devices 10 communicate with one IP address. May be done. Further, even in the case of a detached house having a plurality of TVs, the plurality of TVs may communicate with one IP address. Therefore, the first standard tends to be larger in an apartment house, a building owned by an organization, or a detached house having a plurality of TVs. Conversely, with some exceptions such as a detached house with a large number of TVs, the smaller the first criterion, the more likely the combination of the device ID and cookie ID is information about the household living in the detached house. it is conceivable that. Further, it is considered that the larger the first criterion is, the higher the probability that the combination of the device ID and the cookie ID is a combination relating to a plurality of households or organizations living in an apartment house.
(2) Second Criteria The second criterion is the number of second identification information (cookie ID in this embodiment) corresponding to the same network identification information (IP address in this embodiment). In an apartment house or a building owned by an organization, information devices 20 (that is, many browsers) owned by a large number of people across multiple households or a large number of people belonging to the organization may communicate with one IP address. is there. Further, even in the case of a detached house having a plurality of browsers (that is, a plurality of information devices 20), the plurality of information devices 20 may communicate with one IP address. Therefore, the second standard tends to be larger in an apartment house, a building owned by an organization, or a detached house having a plurality of information devices 20. Conversely, with some exceptions such as a detached house with a very large number of information devices 20, the smaller the second criterion, the more the combination of device ID and cookie ID related to the IP address resides in the detached house. It is highly probable that the information is about the household. Further, it is considered that the larger the second criterion is, the higher the probability that the combination of the device ID and the cookie ID related to the IP address is a combination related to a plurality of households living in an apartment house or an organization such as a company.
(3) Third Criteria The third criterion is the number of network identification information (IP address in the present embodiment) corresponding to the same first identification information (same device ID in the present embodiment). The third criterion becomes large, for example, when the content output device 10 related to the device ID is connected to the mobile router. The third criterion is increased when the content output device 10 related to the device ID connects to the Internet via an Internet provider whose IP address is frequently changed.
(4) Fourth Criteria The fourth criterion is the number of network identification information (IP address in this embodiment) corresponding to the same second identification information (the same number of cookie IDs in this embodiment). The fourth criterion is increased, for example, when the information device 20 related to the cookie ID is a mobile information terminal. That is, when a user connects to the Internet via the information device 20 at a plurality of destinations, a plurality of IP addresses can be associated with the same cookie ID, so that the fourth criterion can be increased.
 本実施形態では、マッチングサーバ50は、前述した第1~第4の基準に基づき、特定された組合せが同一の個人又は集団に関する情報であることの信頼性を評価する。第1~第4の基準の全ての基準の値が小さいほど1つの機器IDに対応するクッキーID数が小さくなり、また、1つのクッキーIDに対応する機器ID数が小さくなる。つまり、第1~第4の基準の全ての基準の値が小さいほど機器IDとクッキーIDとの対応関係は1対1対応に近づく。よって、第1~第4の基準の全ての基準の値が小さいほど、信頼性の高い紐付けができたといえる。 In the present embodiment, the matching server 50 evaluates the reliability that the specified combination is information about the same individual or group based on the above-mentioned first to fourth criteria. The smaller the values of all the criteria of the first to fourth criteria, the smaller the number of cookie IDs corresponding to one device ID, and the smaller the number of device IDs corresponding to one cookie ID. That is, the smaller the values of all the criteria of the first to fourth criteria, the closer the correspondence between the device ID and the cookie ID is to one-to-one correspondence. Therefore, it can be said that the smaller the values of all the criteria of the first to fourth criteria, the higher the reliability of the association.
 [3.処理]
 次に、マッチングサーバ50の制御部54が実行する信頼性評価処理について、図8のフローチャートを用いて説明する。なお、信頼性評価処理の実施のタイミングは、周期的(例えば1時間ごと、1日ごとなど)であってもよいし、任意のタイミングであってもよい。
[3. processing]
Next, the reliability evaluation process executed by the control unit 54 of the matching server 50 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The timing of executing the reliability evaluation process may be periodic (for example, every hour, every day, etc.), or may be any timing.
 まず、S101で、制御部54は、視聴ログDB52から過去所定期間(例えば過去X日)分の第1の特定情報を取得する。 First, in S101, the control unit 54 acquires the first specific information for the past predetermined period (for example, the past X days) from the viewing log DB 52.
 続いて、S102で、制御部54は、閲覧ログDB53から過去所定期間(例えば過去X日)分の第2の特定情報を取得する。 Subsequently, in S102, the control unit 54 acquires the second specific information for the past predetermined period (for example, the past X days) from the browsing log DB 53.
 続いて、S103で、制御部54は、同一のIPアドレスで機器IDとクッキーIDとを紐付けする。具体的には、制御部54は、コンテンツ出力装置10のIPアドレスと情報機器20のIPアドレスとが同一か否かを判定(すなわちマッチング)する。そして、制御部54は、両IPアドレスが同一である場合には、図9に示すような、当該IPアドレスと、対応する機器IDと、対応するクッキーIDと、の組合せを保存する。 Subsequently, in S103, the control unit 54 associates the device ID and the cookie ID with the same IP address. Specifically, the control unit 54 determines (that is, matches) whether or not the IP address of the content output device 10 and the IP address of the information device 20 are the same. Then, when both IP addresses are the same, the control unit 54 stores the combination of the IP address, the corresponding device ID, and the corresponding cookie ID as shown in FIG.
 また、S103では、制御部54は、コンテンツ出力装置10の視聴ログに付されるタイムスタンプとクッキーIDに付されるタイムスタンプとに基づいて、機器ID及びクッキーIDが同日に取得されたか否かを判定し、同日に取得された機器ID及びクッキーIDを紐付ける。なお、機器ID及びクッキーIDの紐付け方はこれに限られず、例えば、機器IDが取得された時刻とクッキーIDが取得された時刻との時間差が所定の値以下の機器IDとクッキーIDとを紐付けてもよい。 Further, in S103, the control unit 54 determines whether or not the device ID and the cookie ID are acquired on the same day based on the time stamp attached to the viewing log of the content output device 10 and the time stamp attached to the cookie ID. Is determined, and the device ID and cookie ID acquired on the same day are linked. The method of linking the device ID and the cookie ID is not limited to this. For example, the device ID and the cookie ID whose time difference between the time when the device ID is acquired and the time when the cookie ID is acquired is equal to or less than a predetermined value are linked. You may attach it.
 続いて、S104で、制御部54は、対応情報を取得し、S103で特定された1又は複数の組合せに係るIPアドレスのそれぞれについて、当該IPアドレスが表す装置の所在地及び/又は当該装置を保有する組織を特定する。 Subsequently, in S104, the control unit 54 acquires the correspondence information, and has the location and / or the device of the device represented by the IP address for each of the IP addresses related to one or more combinations specified in S103. Identify the organization to do.
 すなわち、コンテンツ出力装置10や情報機器20などの装置がインターネットにアクセスすると、発信元のIPアドレスから当該装置の所在地及び/又は当該装置を保有する組織を特定することが可能である。制御部54は、IPアドレスと、当該IPアドレスが表す装置の所在地の情報及び/又は当該IPアドレスが表す組織の情報と、の対応関係を示す情報である対応情報を取得する。対応情報には、IPアドレスが表す装置の所在地の情報として、例えば、装置が存在する都道府県や市区町村の情報、装置を保有する組織の住所の情報などが含まれる。また、対応情報には、IPアドレスが表す装置を保有する組織の情報として、例えば、企業の名称、住所、緯度経度、電話番号などの情報が含まれる。対応情報は、専門の業者によりインターネット上で公開されている。制御部54は、例えば、通信部51を介してインターネットにアクセスすることで対応情報を取得してもよい。また例えば、あらかじめ対応情報をマッチングサーバ50が備える図示省略するデータベースなどに記憶しておき、当該データベースから対応情報が取得されてもよい。 That is, when a device such as the content output device 10 or the information device 20 accesses the Internet, it is possible to identify the location of the device and / or the organization that owns the device from the IP address of the source. The control unit 54 acquires correspondence information, which is information indicating a correspondence relationship between the IP address, the location information of the device represented by the IP address, and / or the organization information represented by the IP address. The correspondence information includes, for example, information on the prefecture or city where the device is located, information on the address of the organization that owns the device, and the like as information on the location of the device represented by the IP address. In addition, the correspondence information includes, for example, information such as a company name, an address, a latitude / longitude, and a telephone number as information on an organization that owns a device represented by an IP address. Correspondence information is published on the Internet by specialized vendors. The control unit 54 may acquire correspondence information by accessing the Internet via, for example, the communication unit 51. Further, for example, the correspondence information may be stored in advance in a database (not shown) included in the matching server 50, and the correspondence information may be acquired from the database.
 続いて、S105で、制御部54は、S104で特定された、IPアドレスが表す装置の所在地及び/又は当該装置を保有する組織が特定の所在地及び/又は組織であるか否かを判定する。本実施形態では、特定の所在地として、マンション、会社、社団法人、官公庁、病院、放送局などの建物といった一戸建て住宅以外の建物の所在地が想定される。同様に、特定の組織は、マンション、会社、社団法人、官公庁、病院、放送局などの一戸建て住宅の世帯以外の組織が想定される。 Subsequently, in S105, the control unit 54 determines whether or not the location and / or the organization that owns the device represented by the IP address specified in S104 is the specific location and / or organization. In the present embodiment, the location of a building other than a detached house such as a building such as a condominium, a company, an incorporated association, a government office, a hospital, or a broadcasting station is assumed as a specific location. Similarly, a specific organization is assumed to be an organization other than a household of a detached house such as a condominium, a company, an incorporated association, a government office, a hospital, or a broadcasting station.
 続いて、S106で、制御部54は、対応する所在地及び/又は組織が特定の所在地及び/又は組織であると判定されたIPアドレスについて、当該IPアドレスに係る組合せのデータを除外(すなわちフィルタリング)する。ここで、IPアドレスが表す装置の所在地が一戸建て住宅以外の建物の所在地である場合にそのIPアドレスに係る組合せのデータを除外するのは以下の理由による。すなわち、本実施形態の信頼性評価処理が、特定された機器ID及びクッキーIDの組合せが同一の一戸建て住宅に居住する世帯に関する機器ID及びクッキーIDの組合せである信頼性を評価する処理であるためである。もちろん、例えば、特定された組合せが、マンションなどの集合住宅や会社などの組織体に関する機器ID及びクッキーIDの組合せである信頼性を評価したい場合には、例えばS105に係る特定の所在地として、マンションや会社等に該当しない建物の所在地(例えば住宅街の所在地等)が設定されてもよい。 Subsequently, in S106, the control unit 54 excludes (that is, filters) the combination data related to the IP address for which the corresponding location and / or organization is determined to be a specific location and / or organization. To do. Here, when the location of the device represented by the IP address is the location of a building other than a detached house, the combination data related to the IP address is excluded for the following reasons. That is, since the reliability evaluation process of the present embodiment is a process of evaluating the reliability of the combination of the specified device ID and the cookie ID for the household living in the same detached house. Is. Of course, for example, when it is desired to evaluate the reliability that the specified combination is a combination of a device ID and a cookie ID related to an organization such as a condominium or an organization such as a company, for example, the condominium is set as a specific location related to S105. The location of a building that does not correspond to a company or a company (for example, the location of a residential area) may be set.
 本実施形態では、S106で除外された組合せについては、S107以降の処理(すなわち信頼性の評価)が行われない。また、これに代えて又は加えて、除外された組合せについては視聴ログに基づく広告配信が行われないように制御されてもよい。 In the present embodiment, for the combinations excluded in S106, the processing after S107 (that is, the evaluation of reliability) is not performed. In addition, instead of or in addition to this, the excluded combinations may be controlled so that the advertisement distribution based on the viewing log is not performed.
 続いて、S107で、制御部54は、通信キャリアIPアドレス情報を取得する。通信キャリアIPアドレス情報は、1又は複数の通信キャリアが使用するIPアドレスを示す情報である。通信キャリアIPアドレス情報は、例えば、通信キャリアが使用するIPアドレスのリストである。通信キャリアが使用するIPアドレスはインターネット上で公開されている。制御部54は、例えば、通信部51を介してインターネットにアクセスすることで通信キャリアIPアドレス情報を取得してもよい。また例えば、あらかじめ通信キャリアIPアドレス情報をマッチングサーバ50が備える図示省略するデータベースなどに記憶しておき、当該データベースから通信キャリアIPアドレス情報が取得されてもよい。 Subsequently, in S107, the control unit 54 acquires the communication carrier IP address information. The communication carrier IP address information is information indicating an IP address used by one or more communication carriers. The communication carrier IP address information is, for example, a list of IP addresses used by the communication carrier. The IP address used by the communication carrier is open to the public on the Internet. The control unit 54 may acquire the communication carrier IP address information by accessing the Internet via the communication unit 51, for example. Further, for example, the communication carrier IP address information may be stored in advance in a database (not shown) included in the matching server 50, and the communication carrier IP address information may be acquired from the database.
 続いて、S108で、制御部54は、S106で除外されずに残っている機器ID及びクッキーIDの組合せに係るIPアドレスのそれぞれについて、当該IPアドレスが、通信キャリアIPアドレス情報が示すIPアドレスであるか否かを判定する。ここでいう通信キャリアIPアドレス情報が示すIPアドレスは、換言すれば、通信キャリアが使用するIPアドレスである。 Subsequently, in S108, the control unit 54 uses the IP address indicated by the communication carrier IP address information for each of the IP addresses related to the combination of the device ID and the cookie ID that remain without being excluded in S106. Determine if it exists. The IP address indicated by the communication carrier IP address information referred to here is, in other words, an IP address used by the communication carrier.
 続いて、S109で、制御部54は、S108で通信キャリアIPアドレス情報が示すIPアドレスであると判定されたIPアドレスについて、当該IPアドレスに係る組合せのデータを除外(すなわちフィルタリング)する。すなわち、情報機器20がモバイルデータ通信を用いたインターネット接続を行う場合、情報機器20には通信キャリアのIPアドレスが割り当てられる。この際、インターネットに接続する度に情報機器20に異なるIPアドレスが割り当てられる。よって、そのようなIPアドレスを用いて機器ID及びクッキーIDの紐付けを行っても、信頼性の高い、同一の個人又は集団に関する機器ID及びクッキーIDの紐付けを行うのは困難である。このため、本実施形態では、通信キャリアが使用するIPアドレスに係る組合せのデータを除外する。 Subsequently, in S109, the control unit 54 excludes (that is, filters) the combination data related to the IP address determined to be the IP address indicated by the communication carrier IP address information in S108. That is, when the information device 20 makes an Internet connection using mobile data communication, the IP address of the communication carrier is assigned to the information device 20. At this time, a different IP address is assigned to the information device 20 each time it is connected to the Internet. Therefore, even if the device ID and the cookie ID are linked using such an IP address, it is difficult to link the device ID and the cookie ID with respect to the same individual or group with high reliability. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the combination data related to the IP address used by the communication carrier is excluded.
 本実施形態では、S109で除外された組合せについては、S110以降の処理(すなわち信頼性の評価)が行われない。また、これに代えて又は加えて、除外された組合せについては視聴ログに基づく広告配信が行われないように制御されてもよい。 In the present embodiment, for the combinations excluded in S109, the processing after S110 (that is, the evaluation of reliability) is not performed. In addition, instead of or in addition to this, the excluded combinations may be controlled so that the advertisement distribution based on the viewing log is not performed.
 続いて、S110で、制御部54は、特定された機器ID及びクッキーIDの組合せのそれぞれについて、当該組合せに係るIPアドレスに対応する機器ID数(すなわち第1の基準)を算出する。ここで、制御部54は、過去所定期間(過去X日)の各日について1日単位でIPアドレスごとの機器ID数を算出する。そして、IPアドレスごとの、過去所定期間のうち最大の機器ID数をその組合せに係る第1の基準として算出する。 Subsequently, in S110, the control unit 54 calculates the number of device IDs (that is, the first reference) corresponding to the IP address related to the combination of the specified device ID and the cookie ID. Here, the control unit 54 calculates the number of device IDs for each IP address on a daily basis for each day of the past predetermined period (past X days). Then, the maximum number of device IDs in the past predetermined period for each IP address is calculated as the first reference for the combination.
 続いて、S111で、制御部54は、特定された機器ID及びクッキーIDの組合せのそれぞれについて、当該組合せに係るIPアドレスに対応するクッキーID数(すなわち第2の基準)を算出する。ここで、制御部54は、過去所定期間(過去X日)の各日について1日単位でIPアドレスごとのクッキーID数を算出する。そして、IPアドレスごとの、過去所定期間のうち最大のクッキーID数をその組合せに係る第2の基準として算出する。 Subsequently, in S111, the control unit 54 calculates the number of cookie IDs (that is, the second reference) corresponding to the IP address related to each of the specified combinations of device IDs and cookie IDs. Here, the control unit 54 calculates the number of cookie IDs for each IP address on a daily basis for each day of the past predetermined period (past X days). Then, the maximum number of cookie IDs in the past predetermined period for each IP address is calculated as the second reference for the combination.
 続いて、S112で、制御部54は、特定された機器ID及びクッキーIDの組合せのそれぞれについて、当該組合せに係る機器IDに対応するIPアドレス数(すなわち第3の基準)を算出する。ここで、制御部54は、過去所定期間(過去X日)の各日について1日単位で機器IDごとのIPアドレス数を算出する。そして、機器IDごとの、過去所定期間のうち最大のIPアドレス数をその組合せに係る第3の基準として算出する。 Subsequently, in S112, the control unit 54 calculates the number of IP addresses (that is, the third reference) corresponding to the device ID related to the combination of the specified device ID and the cookie ID. Here, the control unit 54 calculates the number of IP addresses for each device ID on a daily basis for each day of the past predetermined period (past X days). Then, the maximum number of IP addresses in the past predetermined period for each device ID is calculated as the third reference related to the combination.
 続いて、S113で、制御部54は、特定された機器ID及びクッキーIDの組合せのそれぞれについて、当該組合せに係るクッキーIDに対応するIPアドレス数(すなわち第4の基準)を算出する。ここで、制御部54は、過去所定期間(過去X日)の各日について1日単位でクッキーIDごとのIPアドレス数を算出する。そして、クッキーIDごとの、過去所定期間のうち最大のIPアドレス数をその組合せに係る第3の基準として算出する。 Subsequently, in S113, the control unit 54 calculates the number of IP addresses (that is, the fourth criterion) corresponding to the cookie ID related to the combination of the specified device ID and the cookie ID. Here, the control unit 54 calculates the number of IP addresses for each cookie ID on a daily basis for each day of the past predetermined period (past X days). Then, the maximum number of IP addresses in the past predetermined period for each cookie ID is calculated as the third criterion related to the combination.
 続いて、S114で、制御部54は、S110~S114でそれぞれ算出された第1~第4の基準に基づいて、機器ID及びクッキーIDの各組合せの信頼性レベルを評価する。ここでいう信頼性レベルとは、特定された組合せに係る機器ID及びクッキーIDが同一の個人又は集団に関する情報であることの信頼性を複数段階に分けた度合いである。信頼性レベルが大きいほど前記信頼性が高くなる。制御部54は、図10に示すような信頼性レベルの定義テーブルに基づき、各組合せの信頼性レベルを評価する。図10に示す定義テーブルでは、信頼性レベルが高い組合せほどその組合せに係る機器ID及びクッキーIDが一戸建て住宅に居住する世帯に関する情報である確率が高くなる。 Subsequently, in S114, the control unit 54 evaluates the reliability level of each combination of the device ID and the cookie ID based on the first to fourth criteria calculated in S110 to S114, respectively. The reliability level here is the degree to which the reliability that the device ID and the cookie ID related to the specified combination are information about the same individual or group is divided into a plurality of stages. The higher the reliability level, the higher the reliability. The control unit 54 evaluates the reliability level of each combination based on the reliability level definition table as shown in FIG. In the definition table shown in FIG. 10, the higher the reliability level of the combination, the higher the probability that the device ID and the cookie ID related to the combination are information about the household living in the detached house.
 具体的には、図10には、3段階の信頼性レベル(信頼性レベル1~3)で信頼性を評価する信頼性レベルの定義テーブルが示されている。そして、信頼性レベル1~3のそれぞれについて、第1~第4の基準の値のしきい値が設けられている。すなわち、特定された或る組合せの第1~第4の基準の値の全部が、或る信頼性レベル(例えば信頼性レベル2)の第1~第4の基準のしきい値以下である場合に、その組合せの信頼性レベルは前記或るレベル(例えば信頼性レベル2)に該当する。なお、1つの組合せが複数の信頼性レベル(例えば信頼性レベル1及び2)に該当する場合もある。その場合、前記1つの組合せの信頼性レベルを、当該1つの組合せが該当する複数の信頼性レベルのうち最上位の信頼性レベル(例えば信頼性レベル2)であると判断することもできる。なお、図10において「Inf.」はinfinity(無限大)を意味する。 Specifically, FIG. 10 shows a reliability level definition table that evaluates reliability in three levels of reliability (reliability levels 1 to 3). Then, for each of the reliability levels 1 to 3, threshold values of the values of the first to fourth reference values are set. That is, when all of the values of the first to fourth criteria of the specified combination are equal to or less than the thresholds of the first to fourth criteria of a certain reliability level (for example, reliability level 2). In addition, the reliability level of the combination corresponds to the certain level (for example, reliability level 2). In addition, one combination may correspond to a plurality of reliability levels (for example, reliability levels 1 and 2). In that case, the reliability level of the one combination can be determined to be the highest reliability level (for example, reliability level 2) among the plurality of applicable reliability levels. In FIG. 10, "Inf." Means infinity (infinity).
 図10に示す定義テーブルでは、信頼性レベルが高くなるほど第1~第4の基準のしきい値が同じか小さくなる。また、信頼性レベルが高い組合せほど、1つの機器IDに対応するクッキーID数及び1つのクッキーIDに対応する機器ID数が少なくなり、より信頼性が高い組合せになる。特に、信頼性レベルが高い組合せほど第1の基準及び第2の基準値も低くなるため、その組合せに係る機器ID及びクッキーIDが一戸建て住宅に居住する世帯に関する情報である確率は高くなる。なお、各信頼性レベルに該当する組合せに係るコンテンツ出力装置10の台数、クッキーID数、及び、クッキーID数をコンテンツ出力装置10の台数で除算して得られる値、などは、信頼性レベルが高くなるほど一般に少なくなる。 In the definition table shown in FIG. 10, the higher the reliability level, the same or smaller the threshold values of the first to fourth criteria. Further, the higher the reliability level of the combination, the smaller the number of cookie IDs corresponding to one device ID and the number of device IDs corresponding to one cookie ID, resulting in a more reliable combination. In particular, the higher the reliability level of the combination, the lower the first standard and the second reference value, so that the probability that the device ID and the cookie ID related to the combination are information about the household living in the detached house is high. The reliability level is determined by the number of content output devices 10 and the number of cookie IDs related to the combination corresponding to each reliability level, and the value obtained by dividing the number of cookie IDs by the number of content output devices 10. The higher it is, the less it is generally.
 なお、各信頼性レベルの第1~第4の基準のしきい値は以下のような考えに基づき設定されてもよい。すなわち、各信頼性レベルに該当する組合せに係る機器ID数(すなわちコンテンツ出力装置10の台数)やクッキーID数(すなわち情報機器20の数)、IPアドレスの数が所望の範囲内になるように設定される。例えば、各信頼性レベルの第1の基準のしきい値を例に取ると、図11に示すように、第1の基準値が1~5の範囲では該当するIPアドレスの累積数に変化が見られる。第1の基準値は、換言すれば、1つのIPアドレスに紐付くコンテンツ出力装置10の台数である。一方、第1の基準値が5以降になるとIPアドレスの累積数にあまり変化が見られない。よって、第1の基準にしきい値を設け、信頼性レベルが高くなるにつれて該当する組合せの数を減少させようと思うと、1~5の範囲内で第1の基準のしきい値を設ければよいことがわかる。第2~4の基準のしきい値についても同様に設定されてもよい。もちろん、第1~第4の基準のしきい値は上記とは異なる考え方に基づいて設定されてもよい。 Note that the threshold values of the first to fourth criteria of each reliability level may be set based on the following ideas. That is, the number of device IDs (that is, the number of content output devices 10), the number of cookie IDs (that is, the number of information devices 20), and the number of IP addresses related to the combination corresponding to each reliability level are within the desired ranges. Set. For example, taking the threshold value of the first reference for each reliability level as an example, as shown in FIG. 11, when the first reference value is in the range of 1 to 5, the cumulative number of corresponding IP addresses changes. Can be seen. In other words, the first reference value is the number of content output devices 10 associated with one IP address. On the other hand, when the first reference value is 5 or later, the cumulative number of IP addresses does not change much. Therefore, if a threshold is set for the first criterion and the number of applicable combinations is to be reduced as the reliability level increases, the threshold for the first criterion is set within the range of 1 to 5. I know what to do. The threshold values of the second to fourth criteria may be set in the same manner. Of course, the threshold values of the first to fourth criteria may be set based on a concept different from the above.
 制御部54は、以上のようにして機器ID及びクッキーIDの各組合せの信頼性レベルを評価する。 The control unit 54 evaluates the reliability level of each combination of the device ID and the cookie ID as described above.
 続いて、S115で、制御部54は、S114で評価された信頼性レベルに基づいて、機器ID及びクッキーIDの組合せを分類する。本実施形態では、制御部54は、信頼性レベルが所定のレベル以上であると判定された組合せについては、一戸建て住宅に居住する世帯に係る機器ID及びクッキーIDの組合せであるとして分類する。その後、制御部54は、図8の信頼性評価処理を終了する。 Subsequently, in S115, the control unit 54 classifies the combination of the device ID and the cookie ID based on the reliability level evaluated in S114. In the present embodiment, the control unit 54 classifies the combination determined to have the reliability level equal to or higher than the predetermined level as a combination of the device ID and the cookie ID related to the household living in the detached house. After that, the control unit 54 ends the reliability evaluation process of FIG.
 [4.効果]
 以上詳述した実施形態によれば、以下の効果が得られる。
[4. effect]
According to the embodiment described in detail above, the following effects can be obtained.
 (1)本実施形態では、制御部54は、同一のIPアドレスに対応する機器ID及びクッキーIDの組合せを特定する。そして、制御部54は、特定された組合せに係る機器ID及びクッキーIDが同一の個人又は集団に関する情報であることを示す信頼性レベルを第1の基準及び第2の基準に基づいて評価する。 (1) In the present embodiment, the control unit 54 specifies a combination of a device ID and a cookie ID corresponding to the same IP address. Then, the control unit 54 evaluates the reliability level indicating that the device ID and the cookie ID related to the specified combination are information about the same individual or group based on the first criterion and the second criterion.
 したがって、特定された組合せに係る機器ID及びクッキーIDが同一の個人又は集団に関する情報であることを示す度合いを新規な手法で評価することができる。 Therefore, the degree to which the device ID and the cookie ID related to the specified combination indicate that they are information about the same individual or group can be evaluated by a new method.
 (2)本実施形態では、制御部54は、信頼性レベルを第1の基準、第2の基準及び第3の基準に基づいて評価する。第3の基準、すなわち同一の機器IDに対応するIPアドレス数が小さいほど同一の機器IDに対応するクッキーID数も小さくなると考えられる。つまり、第3の基準が小さいほど1つの機器IDに対応するクッキーID数が小さくなり、信頼性のより高い紐付けができると考えられる。したがって、例えば、信頼性レベルを第1の基準及び第2の基準だけで評価する場合と比較して、同一の個人又は集団に関する機器ID及びクッキーIDを紐付けるに当たり、より信頼性が高い紐付けを行うことができる。 (2) In the present embodiment, the control unit 54 evaluates the reliability level based on the first criterion, the second criterion, and the third criterion. It is considered that the third criterion, that is, the smaller the number of IP addresses corresponding to the same device ID, the smaller the number of cookie IDs corresponding to the same device ID. That is, it is considered that the smaller the third criterion is, the smaller the number of cookie IDs corresponding to one device ID is, and the more reliable the association can be made. Therefore, for example, as compared with the case where the reliability level is evaluated only by the first criterion and the second criterion, the association is more reliable when the device ID and the cookie ID related to the same individual or group are associated. It can be performed.
 (3)本実施形態では、制御部54は、信頼性レベルを第1の基準、第2の基準及び第4の基準に基づいて評価する。第4の基準、すなわち同一のクッキーIDに対応するIPアドレス数が小さいほど同一のクッキーIDに対応する機器IDも小さくなると考えられる。つまり、第4の基準が小さいほど1つのクッキーIDに対応する機器ID数が小さくなり、信頼性のより高い紐付けができると考えられる。したがって、例えば、信頼性レベルを第1の基準及び第2の基準だけで評価する場合と比較して、同一の個人又は集団に関する機器ID及びクッキーIDを紐付けるに当たり、より信頼性が高い紐付けを行うことができる。 (3) In the present embodiment, the control unit 54 evaluates the reliability level based on the first criterion, the second criterion, and the fourth criterion. It is considered that the fourth criterion, that is, the smaller the number of IP addresses corresponding to the same cookie ID, the smaller the device ID corresponding to the same cookie ID. That is, it is considered that the smaller the fourth criterion is, the smaller the number of device IDs corresponding to one cookie ID is, and the more reliable the association can be made. Therefore, for example, as compared with the case where the reliability level is evaluated only by the first criterion and the second criterion, the association is more reliable when the device ID and the cookie ID related to the same individual or group are associated. It can be performed.
 (4)本実施形態では、制御部54は、信頼性レベルを第1の基準、第2の基準、第3の基準及び第4の基準に基づいて評価する。したがって、例えば、信頼性レベルを第1の基準及び第2の基準に加え、第3の基準及び第4の基準のうちいずれか一方だけで評価する場合と比較して、同一の個人又は集団に関する機器ID及びクッキーIDを紐付けるに当たり、より信頼性が高い紐付けを行うことができる。 (4) In the present embodiment, the control unit 54 evaluates the reliability level based on the first criterion, the second criterion, the third criterion, and the fourth criterion. Thus, for example, the reliability level relates to the same individual or group as compared to the case where the reliability level is evaluated by only one of the third criterion and the fourth criterion in addition to the first criterion and the second criterion. When linking the device ID and the cookie ID, more reliable linking can be performed.
 (5)本実施形態では、制御部54は、対応情報を取得する。そして、制御部54は、取得された対応情報に基づいて、対応する所在地及び/又は組織が特定の所在地及び/又は組織であると判定されたIPアドレスについては、信頼性レベルの評価から除外する。 (5) In the present embodiment, the control unit 54 acquires the correspondence information. Then, the control unit 54 excludes the IP address whose corresponding location and / or organization is determined to be a specific location and / or organization from the evaluation of the reliability level based on the acquired correspondence information. ..
 したがって、所在地及び/又は組織に対応するIPアドレスを除外しない場合と比較して、信頼性が比較的高い機器ID及びクッキーIDの組合せのみを抽出しやすくできる。 Therefore, it is possible to easily extract only the combination of the device ID and the cookie ID, which have relatively high reliability, as compared with the case where the IP address corresponding to the location and / or the organization is not excluded.
 (6)本実施形態では、制御部54は、通信キャリアが使用するIPアドレスであると判定されたIPアドレスについては、信頼性レベルの評価から除外する。 (6) In the present embodiment, the control unit 54 excludes the IP address determined to be the IP address used by the communication carrier from the evaluation of the reliability level.
 したがって、通信キャリアのIPアドレスを除外しない場合と比較して、信頼性が比較的高い機器ID及びクッキーIDの組合せのみを抽出しやすくできる。 Therefore, it is possible to easily extract only the combination of the device ID and the cookie ID, which have relatively high reliability, as compared with the case where the IP address of the communication carrier is not excluded.
 なお、本実施形態では、マッチングサーバ50が情報処理装置に相当し、機器IDが第1の特定情報に相当し、クッキーIDが第2の識別情報に相当し、IPアドレスがネットワーク識別情報に相当し、信頼性レベルが度合いに相当し、S101及びS102が特定情報取得部としての処理に相当し、S103が特定部としての処理に相当し、S104が対応情報取得部としての処理に相当し、S105及びS106が第1の除外処理部としての処理に相当し、S108及びS109が第2の除外処理部としての処理に相当し、S114が評価部としての処理に相当する。 In the present embodiment, the matching server 50 corresponds to the information processing device, the device ID corresponds to the first specific information, the cookie ID corresponds to the second identification information, and the IP address corresponds to the network identification information. However, the reliability level corresponds to the degree, S101 and S102 correspond to the processing as the specific information acquisition unit, S103 corresponds to the processing as the specific unit, and S104 corresponds to the processing as the corresponding information acquisition unit. S105 and S106 correspond to the processing as the first exclusion processing unit, S108 and S109 correspond to the processing as the second exclusion processing unit, and S114 corresponds to the processing as the evaluation unit.
 [5.他の実施形態]
 以上、本開示を実施するための形態について説明したが、本開示は前述の実施形態に限定されることなく、種々変形して実施することができる。
[5. Other embodiments]
Although the embodiment for carrying out the present disclosure has been described above, the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be implemented in various modifications.
 (1)上記実施形態では、第1の識別情報としてコンテンツ出力装置の機器IDを例示したが、第1の識別情報はこれに限られない。第1の識別情報は、例えば、コンテンツ出力装置に登録されているユーザID等であってもよい。つまり、第1の識別情報は、コンテンツ出力装置のユーザを識別できる情報であってもよい。また例えば、第1の識別情報は、コンテンツ出力装置等が外部とのネットワークを介して取得した識別情報であってもよい。この場合において例えば、コンテンツ出力装置が外部サーバと通信し、外部サーバに接続した順番などを第1の識別情報としてもよい。 (1) In the above embodiment, the device ID of the content output device is illustrated as the first identification information, but the first identification information is not limited to this. The first identification information may be, for example, a user ID registered in the content output device or the like. That is, the first identification information may be information that can identify the user of the content output device. Further, for example, the first identification information may be identification information acquired by the content output device or the like via a network with the outside. In this case, for example, the order in which the content output device communicates with the external server and connects to the external server may be used as the first identification information.
 (2)上記実施形態では、第2の識別情報としてクッキーIDを例示したが、第2の識別情報はこれに限られない。例えば、第2の識別情報は、広告IDであってもよい。広告IDは、ユーザによってオプトアウト可能な、匿名かつ一意な広告配信用の識別子(広告に関する識別子)であってもよい。また例えば、第2の識別情報は、情報機器の機器IDであってもよく、情報機器に登録したユーザID等であってもよい。つまり、第2の識別情報は、情報機器のユーザを識別できる情報であってもよい。また例えば、第2の識別情報は、情報機器等が外部とのネットワークを介して取得した識別情報であってもよい。 (2) In the above embodiment, the cookie ID is exemplified as the second identification information, but the second identification information is not limited to this. For example, the second identification information may be an advertisement ID. The advertisement ID may be an anonymous and unique identifier for advertisement delivery (identifier related to the advertisement) that can be opt-out by the user. Further, for example, the second identification information may be the device ID of the information device, the user ID registered in the information device, or the like. That is, the second identification information may be information that can identify the user of the information device. Further, for example, the second identification information may be identification information acquired by an information device or the like via a network with the outside.
 (3)上記実施形態ではネットワーク識別情報として、装置のインターネット上の所在を表すIPアドレスを例示したが、ネットワーク識別情報はこれに限られない。ネットワーク識別情報は、例えば、その他ネットワーク上の装置の所在を表す情報であってもよい。その他ネットワークとしては、例えば、無線LAN、ブルートゥース(Bluetooth)(登録商標)、RFID(Radio Frequency Identification)、赤外線通信(Infrared Data Association:IrDA)(登録商標)、UWB(Ultra Wideband)(登録商標)、ジグビー(ZigBee)(登録商標)などが挙げられる。 (3) In the above embodiment, the IP address indicating the location of the device on the Internet is exemplified as the network identification information, but the network identification information is not limited to this. The network identification information may be, for example, information indicating the location of other devices on the network. Other networks include, for example, wireless LAN, Bluetooth (Bluetooth) (registered trademark), RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), infrared communication (Infrared Data Association: IrDA) (registered trademark), UWB (Ultra Wideband) (registered trademark), etc. Examples include ZigBee (registered trademark).
 (4)上記実施形態において、コンテンツ出力装置10及び/又は情報機器20は、例えば、サイネージなどの映像を再生する機能を有する映像再生装置であってもよい。 (4) In the above embodiment, the content output device 10 and / or the information device 20 may be a video playback device having a function of reproducing video such as signage.
 (5)上記実施形態における信頼性レベルの評価法(すなわち信頼性レベルの定義)はあくまで一例であり、他の定義を採用してもよい。例えば、図10に示す定義テーブル以外の定義テーブルを使用してもよい。この場合において例えば、第1の基準及び第2の基準のしきい値が信頼性レベルが高くなるにつれて大きくなるような定義テーブルが使用されてもよい。この定義テーブルによれば、信頼性レベルが高い組合せほど、その組合せに係る機器ID及びクッキーIDが集合住宅に居住する複数の世帯や会社などの組織体に関する情報である確率が高くなる。 (5) The reliability level evaluation method (that is, the definition of the reliability level) in the above embodiment is just an example, and other definitions may be adopted. For example, a definition table other than the definition table shown in FIG. 10 may be used. In this case, for example, a definition table may be used in which the thresholds of the first criterion and the second criterion increase as the reliability level increases. According to this definition table, the higher the reliability level of the combination, the higher the probability that the device ID and the cookie ID related to the combination are information about an organization such as a plurality of households or companies living in the housing complex.
 また、制御部54は、複数の信頼性レベルの定義テーブルを併用し、各組合せについて複数種類の信頼性レベルを評価してもよい。 Further, the control unit 54 may use a plurality of reliability level definition tables in combination and evaluate a plurality of types of reliability levels for each combination.
 (6)上記実施形態において、制御部54は、評価された信頼性レベルに基づいて、各組合せを複数の分類(グループ)のいずれかに分類してもよい。ここでいう分類とは、例えば、一戸建て住宅に居住する世帯に関する確率が高い組合せのグループや、集合住宅に居住する複数の世帯に関する確率が高い組合せのグループ等である。 (6) In the above embodiment, the control unit 54 may classify each combination into one of a plurality of classifications (groups) based on the evaluated reliability level. The classification referred to here is, for example, a group of combinations having a high probability of households living in a detached house, a group of combinations having a high probability of having a plurality of households living in an apartment house, and the like.
 (7)上記実施形態において、制御部54は、第3の基準及び第4の基準のうち少なくとも一方に基づかずに信頼性レベルを評価してもよい。 (7) In the above embodiment, the control unit 54 may evaluate the reliability level without being based on at least one of the third criterion and the fourth criterion.
 (8)上記実施形態において、信頼性レベルは、3段階以外の複数段階で評価されてもよい。 (8) In the above embodiment, the reliability level may be evaluated in a plurality of stages other than the three stages.
 (9)信頼性レベルの算出方法は上記実施形態のものに限られない。例えば、特定された第1の識別情報及び第2の識別情報の組合せの第1~第4の基準の値の和、差、積、商等に基づいて当該組合せの信頼性レベルが評価されてもよい。また例えば、或る組合せの信頼性レベルは、その組合せの第1の基準の値~第4の基準の値のうちの最小値又は最大値に基づき評価されてもよい。また例えば、上記実施形態のように、第1~第4の基準の値に基づいて別途信頼性レベルを算出するのではなく、第1~第4の基準の値それ自体を以て、特定された組合せに係る第1の識別情報及び第2の識別情報が同一の個人又は集団に関する情報であることを示す度合いとしてもよい。つまり、上記実施形態でいう3段階の信頼性レベルが算出されなくてもよい。なお、第1~第4の基準の4つの基準に基づかず一部の基準(例えば第1及び第2の基準のみ)に基づき信頼性レベルを評価する場合も同様である。 (9) The method of calculating the reliability level is not limited to that of the above embodiment. For example, the reliability level of the combination is evaluated based on the sum, difference, product, quotient, etc. of the values of the first to fourth criteria of the specified combination of the first identification information and the second identification information. May be good. Also, for example, the reliability level of a combination may be evaluated based on the minimum or maximum value of the first reference value to the fourth reference value of the combination. Further, for example, as in the above embodiment, the reliability level is not calculated separately based on the values of the first to fourth criteria, but the combination specified by the values of the first to fourth criteria themselves. It may be a degree indicating that the first identification information and the second identification information according to the above are information about the same individual or group. That is, it is not necessary to calculate the three levels of reliability in the above embodiment. The same applies when the reliability level is evaluated not based on the four criteria of the first to fourth criteria but based on some criteria (for example, only the first and second criteria).
 (10)上記実施形態では、対応情報を用いてマンションや会社等に係るIPアドレスが除外されるが、対応情報はIPアドレスの用途はこれに限られない。 (10) In the above embodiment, the IP address related to the condominium, the company, etc. is excluded by using the correspondence information, but the usage of the IP address is not limited to this.
 例えば、IPアドレス等のネットワーク識別情報に対応する所在地及び/又は組織が特定の所在地及び/又は組織である場合に信頼性レベルの第1~第4の基準のしきい値を変化させてもよい。 For example, the thresholds of the first to fourth criteria of the reliability level may be changed when the location and / or organization corresponding to the network identification information such as the IP address is a specific location and / or organization. ..
 すなわち、IPアドレスが示す装置の所在地が一戸立て住宅が多数存在する住宅街か、会社が多数存在するオフィス街かなどによって第1の基準及び第2の基準の値のばらつきが変化する。具体的には、前記所在地がオフィス街である場合、前記所在地が住宅街である場合よりも、1つのIPアドレスに紐付くコンテンツ出力装置10の台数が多くなる傾向にある。このため、前記所在地がオフィス街である場合と前記所在地が住宅街である場合とでは、第1の基準値とIPアドレス数との関係(図11に示されるような関係)が異なることが想定される。よって、各信頼性レベルに属する組合せ数に係るコンテンツ出力装置10の台数やクッキーID数を所望の範囲内に収めるため、しきい値の値を変更することが考えられる。 That is, the variation in the values of the first standard and the second standard changes depending on whether the location of the device indicated by the IP address is a residential area where many detached houses exist or an office area where many companies exist. Specifically, when the location is an office district, the number of content output devices 10 associated with one IP address tends to be larger than when the location is a residential district. Therefore, it is assumed that the relationship between the first reference value and the number of IP addresses (relationship as shown in FIG. 11) differs between the case where the location is an office district and the case where the location is a residential district. Will be done. Therefore, it is conceivable to change the threshold value in order to keep the number of content output devices 10 and the number of cookie IDs related to the number of combinations belonging to each reliability level within a desired range.
 このような構成によれば、例えば、IPアドレス等のネットワーク識別情報に対応する所在地及び/又は組織が特定の所在地及び/又は組織である場合に信頼性レベルの第1~第4の基準のしきい値を変化させることで、信頼性レベルによる評価精度を向上させ得る。 According to such a configuration, for example, when the location and / or organization corresponding to the network identification information such as the IP address is a specific location and / or organization, the first to fourth criteria of the reliability level are used. By changing the threshold value, the evaluation accuracy according to the reliability level can be improved.
 (11)上記実施形態において、制御部54は、クッキーIDに係る情報機器20のユーザの通信キャリアに係る契約者情報を通信キャリアなどから取得し、取得された契約者情報を利用して信頼性レベルを評価してもよい。ここでいう契約者情報は、例えば、契約者であるユーザが使用する情報機器20の第2の識別情報と、当該ユーザの氏名、年齢、性別等を含むユーザ情報と、を対応付けた情報である。また例えば、契約者情報は、通信キャリアの契約者であるユーザと同一集団内の他のユーザの通信キャリアとの契約状況、及び、他のユーザが通信キャリアと契約している場合には当該他のユーザが使用する情報機器20の第2の識別情報、を含む情報であってもよい。ここでいう同一集団とは例えば同一家族や同一組織であり、通信キャリアとの契約状況とは例えば通信キャリアと契約しているか否か等である。 (11) In the above embodiment, the control unit 54 acquires the contractor information related to the communication carrier of the user of the information device 20 related to the cookie ID from the communication carrier or the like, and uses the acquired contractor information for reliability. You may evaluate the level. The contractor information referred to here is, for example, information in which the second identification information of the information device 20 used by the user who is the contractor is associated with the user information including the name, age, gender, etc. of the user. is there. Further, for example, the contractor information includes the contract status of the user who is the contractor of the communication carrier and the communication carrier of another user in the same group, and the other when the other user has a contract with the communication carrier. The information may include the second identification information of the information device 20 used by the user. The same group referred to here is, for example, the same family or the same organization, and the contract status with a telecommunications carrier is, for example, whether or not a telecommunications carrier is contracted.
 例えば、或る家族のうちの1人のユーザ(例えば父親)についてコンテンツ出力装置10及び情報機器20の信頼性レベルが高い紐付けができたとする。この場合において例えば、制御部54は、前記1人のユーザ(例えば父親)の通信キャリアに係る契約者情報に基づき、前記1人のユーザの家族の別のユーザ(例えば娘)も通信キャリアと契約しているか否かを判定する。そして、制御部54は、前記別のユーザ(例えば娘)も通信キャリアと契約していると判定した場合に、前記別のユーザの契約者情報に基づき前記別のユーザの情報機器20の第2の識別情報を取得する。そして、取得された前記別のユーザの情報機器20の第2の識別情報と前記家族内のコンテンツ出力装置10との紐付けの信頼性レベルを向上させてもよい。つまり、制御部54は、第1~第4の基準とは別に、通信キャリアに係る契約者情報に基づいて、信頼性レベルを評価してもよい。なお、家族に限らず同一組織内の複数のユーザ等に対しても上記と同様に信頼性レベルが評価されてもよい。 For example, it is assumed that one user (for example, a father) in a certain family can be associated with a high reliability level of the content output device 10 and the information device 20. In this case, for example, the control unit 54 contracts with the communication carrier for another user (for example, a daughter) of the family of the one user based on the contractor information relating to the communication carrier of the one user (for example, the father). Determine if it is. Then, when the control unit 54 determines that the other user (for example, a daughter) also has a contract with the communication carrier, the second user of the information device 20 of the other user is based on the contractor information of the other user. Acquire the identification information of. Then, the reliability level of the association between the acquired second identification information of the information device 20 of the other user and the content output device 10 in the family may be improved. That is, the control unit 54 may evaluate the reliability level based on the contractor information related to the communication carrier, separately from the first to fourth criteria. The reliability level may be evaluated not only for family members but also for a plurality of users in the same organization in the same manner as described above.
 また例えば、制御部54は、1つの機器IDに複数のクッキーIDが対応付いた場合などに、紐付いたクッキーIDに係る情報機器20のユーザの契約者情報を通信キャリアなどから取得する。そして、制御部54は、取得された契約者情報から年齢や性別などのユーザ情報を取得し、取得されたユーザ情報に基づき、所望のユーザ属性を有する情報機器20に係るクッキーIDのみを抽出し、残りを除外してもよい。 Further, for example, when a plurality of cookie IDs correspond to one device ID, the control unit 54 acquires the contractor information of the user of the information device 20 related to the linked cookie ID from a communication carrier or the like. Then, the control unit 54 acquires user information such as age and gender from the acquired contractor information, and extracts only the cookie ID related to the information device 20 having a desired user attribute based on the acquired user information. , The rest may be excluded.
 また例えば、IPアドレスが通信キャリアが使用するIPアドレスである場合、IPアドレスが通信キャリアが使用するIPアドレスでない場合と比較して、第3の基準及び第4の基準の値のばらつきが変化する。このため、各信頼性レベルに属する組合せに係るコンテンツ出力装置10の台数やクッキーID数を所望の範囲内に収めるため、信頼性レベルの定義テーブルにおける第3の基準及び第4の基準のしきい値を変更してもよい。 Further, for example, when the IP address is the IP address used by the communication carrier, the variation in the values of the third reference and the fourth reference changes as compared with the case where the IP address is not the IP address used by the communication carrier. .. Therefore, in order to keep the number of content output devices 10 and the number of cookie IDs related to the combinations belonging to each reliability level within a desired range, the thresholds of the third criterion and the fourth criterion in the reliability level definition table. You may change the value.
 このような構成によれば、情報機器20のユーザの契約者情報を利用せずに信頼性レベルを評価する場合と比較して、信頼性レベルによる評価精度を向上させ得る。 According to such a configuration, the evaluation accuracy based on the reliability level can be improved as compared with the case where the reliability level is evaluated without using the contractor information of the user of the information device 20.
 (12)上記実施形態では、制御部54は、S103で機器ID及びクッキーIDの組合せを特定した後にS106及びS108においてIPアドレスを除外(フィルタリング)する。しかし、IPアドレスを除外するタイミングはこれに限られない。例えば、組合せを特定する前にIPアドレスが除外されてもよい。 (12) In the above embodiment, the control unit 54 excludes (filters) the IP address in S106 and S108 after specifying the combination of the device ID and the cookie ID in S103. However, the timing of excluding IP addresses is not limited to this. For example, the IP address may be excluded before identifying the combination.
 (13)上記実施形態において、例えば、第1の基準は、過去所定期間に亘る、IPアドレスごとの機器ID数の平均値として算出されてもよい。つまり、第1の基準は上記実施形態とは異なる方法で算出されてもよい。第2~第4の基準についても同様である。 (13) In the above embodiment, for example, the first criterion may be calculated as an average value of the number of device IDs for each IP address over the past predetermined period. That is, the first criterion may be calculated by a method different from that of the above embodiment. The same applies to the second to fourth criteria.
 (14)上記実施形態において、第1の特定情報は、コンテンツ出力装置10に関する視聴ログを含んでいなくてもよい。また、第2の特定情報は、情報機器20に関する閲覧ログを含んでいなくてもよい。 (14) In the above embodiment, the first specific information does not have to include the viewing log related to the content output device 10.
