Description

Information provision device

The present disclosure relates to an information providing device that provides game design elements (i.e., basic components handled in gamification) tailored to individual users.

In recent years, ``gamification,'' the application of game elements to things other than games, has attracted attention as a method to improve user engagement, organizational productivity, flow, learning, crowdsourcing, employee recruitment and evaluation, etc. . For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a technology that employs gamification to stimulate the motivation of sales personnel to achieve their goals, and to aim for establishing operation and improving the degree of utilization.

Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2014-081852

However, current gamification assumes that all game design elements are generally effective, and provides available gamification elements uniformly to all users, depending on the user's likes and dislikes. However, the system does not provide game design elements selected in consideration of correlated user attributes and play style information reported by the user. Therefore, it is assumed that certain game design elements may not suit individual users, and there is concern that the effectiveness of gamification will be diminished due to such a situation, and there is room for improvement.

The present disclosure has been made to solve the above problems, and aims to provide game design elements that suit individual users and realize effective gamification.

The information providing device according to the present disclosure selects one or more game design elements according to the acquired play style information regarding the user, based on the correspondence information between the play style information and the game design elements suitable for each play style. and a providing section that provides the user with the game design element selected by the selection section.

In the above information providing device, the selection unit selects one or more game design elements according to the acquired play style information regarding the user, based on the correspondence information between the play style information and the game design elements suitable for each play style. is selected, and the providing unit provides the selected game design element to the user. Here, "play style information acquired regarding the user" may be play style information declared by the user, or may be play style information obtained by inferring from the user's attribute information. . As described above, it is possible to provide the user with game design elements (game design elements that suit the individual user) according to the acquired play style information about the user, thereby realizing effective gamification. I can do it.

According to the present disclosure, it is possible to provide game design elements that suit individual users and realize effective gamification.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of an information providing device according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the information providing device 10 includes an acquisition section 11, a selection section 12, and a provision section 13. The functions of each part are outlined below.

The acquisition unit 11 is a functional unit that acquires play style information regarding the user. The acquisition methods include (1) a method of acquiring play style information by estimating play style information according to the attribute information from the acquired attribute information about the user; and (2) a method of acquiring play style information by estimating play style information according to the attribute information input (declared) by the user. One example is a method of acquiring play style information by receiving play style information that has been received. Regarding (1) above, more specifically, the acquisition unit 11 generates a learning model (i.e., by inputting attribute information, a play style according to the attribute information is created based on the acquired play style information and attribute information regarding a large number of users. By constructing a learning model (for outputting style information) and inputting acquired attribute information regarding the user into the constructed learning model, play style information corresponding to the attribute information is acquired as an estimation result. Such an acquisition unit 11 includes an attribute information database (DB) 11A, a learning model database (DB) 11B, and a play style information database (DB) 11C.

Of these, the attribute information DB 11A stores attribute information such as gender and age acquired from the user using a user identifier (user ID) as a key, as shown in FIG. 2, for example. The learning model DB 11B stores the learning model constructed by the acquisition unit 11. For example, as shown in FIG. 3(a), the play style information DB 11C stores various play styles A, B, C, etc. for each user using the user ID as a key, and play style information is obtained as an estimation result. After that, as shown in FIG. 3(b), the obtained play style information is also stored in association with the user ID. The "actual value" in each piece of play style information described in FIGS. 3(a) and (b) and FIG. 8 described later means the play style information input (declared) by the user, and the "estimated value" , means play style information estimated from user attribute information. Further, a play style of "0" means that the play style does not correspond to the play style, and a play style of "1" means that the play style corresponds to the play style. Note that it is not essential for the acquisition unit 11 to construct and use a learning model as described above in order to estimate play style information according to attribute information, and it is not necessary for the acquisition unit 11 to construct and use a learning model as described above. (e.g., a method using a correspondence table) may also be adopted.

Returning to FIG. 1, the selection unit 12 stores correspondence information between play style information and game design elements suitable for each play style in a built-in memory (not shown), and based on the correspondence information, the selection unit 12 stores correspondence information between play style information and game design elements suitable for each play style. This is a functional unit that selects one or more game design elements according to play style information.

The providing unit 13 is a functional unit that provides information by outputting the game design elements selected by the selection unit 12 to the user terminal 20.

The "correspondence information" used in the selection by the selection unit 12 described above is not limited to specific information, but includes, for example, the correspondence information shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.

FIG. 5 shows an example of correspondence information between a battle test, which is an example of play style information, and game design elements.

Game design elements include points, badges, leaderboards, performance graphs, meaningful stories, avatars, and teammates. Can be mentioned. The above-mentioned "points" are generally rewarded when a specified action is achieved in a gamified environment, and serve as a numerical representation of the player's progress. A "badge" is defined as a visual representation of an achievement and is an element that can be earned and collected in a gamified environment. A "leaderboard" is an element that ranks players according to their relative success against certain success criteria. A ``performance graph'' is an element that provides information that compares a player's performance during a game with his previous performance, and unlike a leaderboard, it evaluates the player's own performance over time rather than that of other players. A "meaningful story" refers to game elements that are unrelated to player performance; the narrative context you embed in a gamified application contextualizes in-game activities and characters, and is more than just points or achievements. Give meaning beyond the pursuit of. An "avatar" is an element of the visual representation of a player in a gamified environment; the avatar is typically selected or created by the player. "Teammates" are other real-life players or non-player characters (NPCs).

The Bartle test classifies play style information into four categories: Achiever, Explorer, Socializer, and Killer, depending on the player's temperament. Among these, "achievers" are player types who want to enjoy the game world individually, and "explorers" are player types who want to advance in the game while interacting with characters and players in that world. He's the type of player I think he is. A "socializer" is a player type who wants to advance the game while cooperating with the player, and a "killer" is a player type who challenges the player as an individual.

FIG. 5 shows a correspondence table between each piece of play style information and each game design element, where "〇" indicates compatibility, and "x" indicates compatibility, respectively. For example, it can be seen that "game design elements" that match the play style information "achiever" are points, badges, performance graphs, meaningful stories, and avatars. That is, if the user's play style information is "achiever", points, badges, performance graphs, meaningful stories, and avatars are selected as game design elements.

FIG. 6 shows, as another example of correspondence information, an example of correspondence information between the Big Five, which is an example of play style information, and game design elements. Note that the game design elements are the same as in the example shown in FIG. 5 described above.

The Big Five is a type of classification method for personality traits based on common language descriptors.As shown in Figure 6, the Big Five personality traits include agreeableness, conscientiousness, extraversion, neuroticism, and openness. It will be done. Among these, "agreeableness" is a characteristic that reflects individual differences in general concern for social harmony, and "conscientiousness" is a characteristic that reflects the tendency to be organized and reliable, the tendency to exhibit self-control, and the tendency to act faithfully. , a characteristic that represents a tendency to aim for achievement and a tendency to prefer planned actions over spontaneous actions. "Extraversion" is a characteristic that expresses energy, excitement, self-assertion, sociability, seeking stimulation in interaction with others, and being talkative, while "neuroticism" is a characteristic that expresses negative feelings such as anger, anxiety, and depression. Openness is a trait that describes a person's tendency to experience emotional feelings, and openness is a trait that describes a general appreciation for art, emotion, adventure, unusual ideas, imagination, curiosity, and diverse experiences.

FIG. 6 shows a correspondence table between each piece of play style information and each game design element, where "〇" indicates compatibility and "x" indicates compatibility, respectively. For example, it can be seen that "game design elements" that match the play style information "highly cooperative" are points, badges, performance graphs, meaningful stories, avatars, and teammates. That is, if the user's play style information is "highly cooperative," points, badges, performance graphs, meaningful stories, avatars, and teammates are selected as game design elements.

Next, the processing executed in this embodiment will be explained along the flowchart of FIG. 4. The process in FIG. 4 is started, for example, when a request for providing a game design element is transmitted from the user terminal 20 to the information providing apparatus 10 together with user data including at least attribute information. Of course, in addition to the above trigger, the trigger may be executed at a predetermined start time, or may be executed periodically at predetermined time intervals.

When a request for providing game design elements is transmitted from the user terminal 20 to the information providing apparatus 10 together with user data including at least attribute information (step S1), the acquisition unit 11 receives the transmitted data and collects play style information. (that is, the play style information is included in the received user data) (step S2).

Here, when the play style information is acquired, the acquisition unit 11 stores the acquired play style information in the play style information DB 11C, as shown by the broken line in FIG. 1 (step S3). On the other hand, if the play style information is not acquired in step S2, the acquisition unit 11 estimates the play style information as follows from the acquired user attribute information, and stores the acquired play style information in the play style information DB 11C. (Step S4). In this step S4, the acquisition unit 11 constructs a learning model using play style information and attribute information regarding a large number of users in the past and stores it in the learning model DB 11B (i.e., by inputting attribute information, (a learning model to output play style information according to the player's play style). Specifically, in step S4, the acquisition unit 11 inputs the acquired attribute information regarding the user into the constructed learning model, thereby acquiring play style information according to the attribute information as an estimation result.

Next, the selection unit 12 refers to “correspondence information between play style information and game design elements suitable for each play style” stored in a built-in memory (not shown), thereby obtaining the play style information acquired by the acquisition unit 11. (step S5), and further, the providing unit 13 provides the game design element selected by the selection unit 12 (the game design element corresponding to the user's play style information) to the user terminal 20. (Step S6).

Through the process shown in FIG. 4 above, for example, for the user with user ID "1" shown in FIG. One or more game design elements that match "B" are selected from the correspondence tables as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 and provided to the user terminal 20. As a result, the selected game design element (that is, the game design element that matches the user's play style information) is displayed, for example, on the display screen of the user terminal 20, and the user can select the game design element that matches the user's play style information. can be recognized.

According to the above-described embodiments, game design elements suitable for the user's play style information (suitable for the individual user) are provided to the user, and effective gamification can be realized.

Next, two modified examples regarding the selection process by the selection unit 12 will be explained in order.

(Modification 1)
Although FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b) illustrate the case where one user has one play style, there are multiple play styles for one user, and the corresponding Users may have different degrees of suitability. In modification 1, as shown in FIG. 8, a case will be described in which there are a plurality of play styles with different degrees of suitability for each user.

FIG. 7 shows the processing in Modification 1. Steps S1 to S4 are the same as those in the above embodiment, so redundant explanation will be omitted. In step S5A, the selection unit 12 selects a game design element according to the play style information regarding the user using a predetermined method based on the degree of suitability included in each piece of play style information. Here, as an example, we estimate the top two play styles with the highest degree of suitability for a certain user, and set the union of game design elements that match these two play styles (i.e., match at least one of the two play styles). (all game design elements). The selected game design element is then provided to the user terminal 20 by the providing unit 13 (step S6).

Specifically, for the user with user ID "1" shown in FIG. 8, the top two play styles A and B with the highest degree of suitability are estimated, and the union of game design elements that match these play styles A and B is estimated. is selected and provided to the user. Similarly, for the user with user ID "2", the top two play styles B and C with the highest degree of suitability are estimated, and the union of game design elements that match these play styles B and C is selected. provided to the user.

In this way, even if there are multiple play styles with different degrees of suitability for each user, appropriate play style information is estimated based on the degree of suitability, and the appropriate play style information is Since the game design elements are selected and provided to the user, it is possible to provide appropriate game design elements that suit the individual user and achieve effective gamification.

(Modification 2)
Figure 5 shows an example where the correspondence between play style information and game design elements is expressed as "〇 (100%)" or "x (0%)". (For example, "person with user ID 1"), it is also assumed that the above-mentioned response is expressed as a probability of "50%" or "60%" (that is, a probability that the game design element is effective). Figure 10 shows that for the target user (person with user ID 1), the probability of belonging to "Achiever" as play style information is 40%, and the game design element "Points" is effective for play style information "Achiever". It is shown that the probability is 50%, similarly, the probability of belonging to "Explorer" as play style information is 30%, and the probability that the game design element "point" will be effective for play style information "Explorer" is 5%. It is shown that In modification example 2, as shown in FIG. 10, there are multiple play styles with different degrees of suitability for each target user, and as described above, the correspondence between play style information and game design elements is based on probability (probability that game design elements are effective). ) will be explained.

FIG. 9 shows the processing in Modification 2. Steps S1 to S4 are the same as those in the above embodiment, so redundant explanation will be omitted. In step S5B, the selection unit 12 selects play style information regarding the target user based on the degree of suitability included in each piece of play style information, the probability included in the correspondence information (FIG. 10), and a predetermined threshold. Select compatible game design elements.

Specifically, the selection unit 12 calculates the sum by multiplying the probability that the target user belongs to a certain play style and the probability that a specific game design element will work for a person belonging to the play style, and calculates the sum of the results. is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold (for example, 40%), the game design element is determined to be a game design element that suits the target user, and is selected as a game design element to be provided (step S5B). ). The selected game design element is then provided to the user terminal 20 by the providing unit 13 (step S6).

To explain using FIG. 10, for the target user (a person whose user ID is 1), the selection unit 12 calculates the following (1) to (4) from the numerical values shown in bold lines in FIG. Find the sum of (1) to (4),
(1) Probability of belonging to an achiever (40%) x probability of points being effective (50%)
(2) Probability of belonging to Explorer (30%) x Probability of points being effective (5%)
(3) Probability of belonging to socializer (20%) x probability of points being effective (80%)
(4)Probability of belonging to killer (10%) x probability of point being effective (75%)
Since the obtained total (45%) is equal to or higher than the threshold (for example, 40%), the game design element "points" is determined to be a game design element that suits the target user and is selected as a game design element to be provided. select.

In this way, when there are multiple play styles with different degrees of suitability for each target user, and as described above, the correspondence between play style information and game design elements is expressed as a probability (probability that the game design element is effective). Even if there is a game design element, it should be provided after accurately determining whether the game design element is suitable for the target user, depending on whether the sum of the products of the degree of suitability and the above probability is greater than or equal to the threshold. are selected and provided to the target user, it is possible to provide appropriate game design elements that suit the individual user and achieve effective gamification.
