The opinion information selection part 2, with reference to the information stored in the evaluation value storage part 13, selects one or more comments based on the evaluation value converted by the evaluation value calculation part 12.
[Operation]
Then, an operation of a information-processing device according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described using the figures In the first embodiment of the present invention, a comment-prompting method according to a first embodiment of the present invention is performed by making the information-processing device 201 operate. Therefore, a description of the comment-prompting method according to the first embodiment of the present invention is substituted by an operation description of the following information-processing device 201. In the following description,
[Selection Method of Comment]
With reference to
The opinion information selection part 2, with reference to the comment-point table stored in the evaluation value storage part 13, selects a comment based on a point of each comment.
In this comment-point table, a comment with respect to an evaluation subject of which evaluation subject ID (Identifier) is Idea—1 and an evaluation subject of which evaluation subject ID is Idea—2, as well as a point for each comment, are shown.
For example, an evaluation subject of which evaluation subject ID is Idea—1 is a question ┌┘ (“What do you think about tax increase?”), and with respect to this question, the answers are as follow: the point of the comment ┌
┘ (“it is absolutely disagreeable
”) is 310; the point of the comment ┌
┘ (“There is no reason in particular, but I think that it is inevitable”) is 210; the point of the comment ┌
┘ (“In consideration of national financial resources, I think that tax increase is unavoidable”) is 140; the point of the comment ┌
!″┘ (“Disagreeable, very much disagreeable, and absolutely disagreeable!!”) is 330; and the point of the comment └
┘ (“Re-evaluation including a direction of increasing a tobacco tax and liquor tax will be required”) is 80.
In addition, an evaluation subject of which evaluation subject ID is Idea—2 is information with respect to a certain event, and with respect to this information, the point of the comment ┌┘ (“Indeed, will I be going?”) is 390.
In addition, the evaluation value conversion information storage part 5 stores a textual characteristics-point table indicating a correspondence relation between textual information characteristics and an evaluation value. In this textual characteristics-point table, a plurality of ranges with respect to a degree of textual information characteristics are provided, and an evaluation value for the every range is registered, for example.
The evaluation value calculation part 12, with reference to the textual characteristics-point table, analyzes comments which are acquired by the opinion information acquisition part 1 and stored in the opinion information storage part 14, and calculates a point of this comment. Then, the evaluation value calculation part 12 registers the comment newly analyzed and a point thereof into the comment-point table.
With reference to
This textual characteristics-point table shows that: the point of the comment of which the number of characters is between 0 and 5 is 30; the point of the comment of which the number of characters is between 6 and 10 is 60; the point of the comment of which the number of characters is between 11 and 15 is 100; the point of the comment of which the number of characters is between 16 and 20 is 40; the point of the comment of which the number of characters is between 21 and 30 is 10; and the point of the comment of which the number of characters is no less than 31 is 0.
That is, the evaluation value conversion information storage part 5 stores a correspondence relation in which the nearer the number of characters of a comment approaches to a prescribed value that is 11 to 15 here, the larger an evaluation value is. In more details, the evaluation value conversion information storage part 5 stores a correspondence relation in which at least a first range, a second range and a third range in ascending order with respect to the number of characters of a comment is provided, and the evaluation value of the second range is larger than that of the first range and the third range.
By such a configuration as this, an appropriate evaluation value can be given to each comment. That is, an evaluation value having a too short comment is made to be lowered, and thereby, it is possible to prompt a user to input an appropriate comment. In addition, an evaluation value having a too long comment is made to be lowered, and thereby, a mental threshold with respect to user's comment input can be lowered.
With reference to
This textual characteristics-point table shows that: the point of the comment in which a percentage of Hiragana is 0% to 10% is 0; the point of the comment in which a percentage of Hiragana is 11% to 20% is 10; the point of the comment in which a percentage of Hiragana is 21% to 40% is 20; the point of the comment in which a percentage of Hiragana is 41% to 60% is 60; and the point of the comment in which a percentage of Hiragana is 61% to 100% is 80.
That is, the evaluation value conversion information storage part 5 stores a correspondence relation in which the nearer the content percentage of Hiragana in a comment approaches to a prescribed value that is 61% to 15% here, the larger an evaluation value is. In more details, the evaluation value conversion information storage part 5 stores a correspondence relation in which the larger the content percentage of Hiragana in a comment is, the larger an evaluation value is.
In this way, an evaluation value of a comment in which a percentage of Hiragana is small is made to be lowered, and an evaluation value of a comment in which a percentage of Hiragana is larger is made to be risen, and thereby, an appropriate evaluation value can be given to each comment. For example, it becomes possible to present a comment in which an evaluation value is high in the case where a mental threshold with respect to user's comment input is made to be lowered, and to present a comment in which an evaluation value is low in the case of prompting a user to input an advanced comment.
With reference to
This textual characteristics-point table shows that: the point of the comment in which a percentage of Chinese character is 0% to 10% is 80; the point of the comment in which a percentage of Chinese character is 11% to 20% is 60; the point of the comment in which a percentage of Chinese character is 21% to 40% is 20; the point of the comment in which a percentage of Chinese character is 41% to 60% is 10; and the point of the comment in which a percentage of Chinese character is 61% to 100% is 0.
That is, the evaluation value conversion information storage part 5 stores a correspondence relation in which the nearer the percentage of Chinese character in a comment approaches to a prescribed value that is 61% to 100% here, the larger an evaluation value is. In more details, the evaluation value conversion information storage part 5 stores a correspondence relation in which the larger the content percentage of Chinese character in a comment is, the smaller an evaluation value is.
In this way, an evaluation value of a comment in which a percentage of Chinese character is small is made to be lowered, and an evaluation value of a comment in which a percentage of Chinese character is larger is made to be risen, and thereby, an appropriate evaluation value can be given to each comment. For example, it becomes possible to present a comment in which an evaluation value is high in the case where a mental threshold with respect to user's comment input is made to be lowered, and to present a comment in which an evaluation value is low in the case of prompting a user to input an advanced comment.
With reference to
This textual characteristics-point table shows that: the point of the comment in which the number of emotional expressions is 0 is 0; the point of the comment in which the number of emotional expressions is 1 is 30; the point of the comment in which the number of emotional expressions is 2 is 50; the point of the comment in which the number of emotional expressions is 3 to 5 is 70; the point of the comment in which the number of emotional expressions is 6 to 10 is 80; and the point of the comment in which the number of emotional expressions is no less than 11 is 100.
That is, the evaluation value conversion information storage part 5 stores a correspondence relation in which the nearer the number of emotional expressions in a comment approaches to a range of a prescribed value that is no more than 11 here, the larger an evaluation value is. In more details, the evaluation value conversion information storage part 5 stores a correspondence relation in which the larger the number of emotional expression words or emotional expression symbols in a comment is, the larger an evaluation value is. In this way, an evaluation value of a comment in which the number of emotional expressions is large is made to be risen, and an evaluation value of a comment in which the number of emotional expressions is small is made to be lowered, and thereby, an appropriate evaluation value can be given to each comment. That is, since the more a comment has the number of emotional expressions, the larger a mental influence on a user becomes, it becomes possible to prompt a user to input a comment.
With reference to ┘ (“like”), ┌
┘ (“dislike”), ┌
┘ (“pleasant”), ┌
┘ (“glad”), ┌
┘ (“sad”), ┌
┘ (“interesting”), ┌
┘ (“disagreeable”), and “?”, for example.
The evaluation value conversion information storage part 5 stores this emotional expression word list. The evaluation value calculation part 12, with reference to the emotional expression word list stored in the evaluation value conversion information storage part 5, counts the number of emotional expressions in a comment acquired by the opinion information acquisition part 1, and furthermore, with reference to the number of emotional expressions-point table stored in the evaluation value conversion information storage part 5, calculates a point of this comment.
With reference to
This textual characteristics-point table shows that: the point of the comment in which input time is 0 second to 100 seconds is 100; the point of the comment in which input time is 100 seconds to 200 seconds is 70; the point of the comment in which input time is 200 seconds to 300 seconds is 50; and the point of the comment in which input time is no less than 300 seconds is 0.
That is, the evaluation value conversion information storage part 5 stores a correspondence relation in which the shorter the input time of a comment by a user is, the larger an evaluation value is.
In this way, an evaluation value of a comment in which input time is short is made to be risen, and an evaluation value of a comment in which input time is long is made to be lowered, and thereby, an appropriate evaluation value can be given to each comment. That is, since the shorter the input time of a comment is, the easier the comment is for a user to input, and the longer the input time of a comment is, the more difficult the comment is for a user to input, it becomes possible to present a comment in which a evaluation value is high in the case where a mental threshold with respect to user's comment input is made to be lowered, and to present a comment in which a evaluation value is low in the case of prompting a user to input an advanced comment, for example.
With reference to
This comment point calculation table is created by the evaluation value calculation part 12 based on above-mentioned each textual characteristics-point table, and is stored in the evaluation value conversion information storage part 5.
Specifically, with respect to the comment ┌┘ (“It is absolutely disagreeable
”), this comment point calculation table shows that: the point with respect to the text length is 60; the point with respect to the percentage of Hiragana is 60; the point with respect to the percentage of Chinese character is 60; the point with respect to the number of emotional expressions is 30; the point with respect to the input time is 100; and the total point is 310.
In addition, with respect to the comment ┌┘ (“There is no reason in particular, but I think that it is inevitable”), the table shows that: the point with respect to the text length is 40; the point with respect to the percentage of Hiragana is 80; the point with respect to the percentage of Chinese character is 20; the point with respect to the number of emotional expressions is 0; the point with respect to the input time is 70; and the total point is 210.

The evaluation value calculation part 12 creates the comment-point table shown in
[Comment Presenting Method (Part 1)]
Next, presenting operation of a comment by the information-processing device according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described using drawings.
With reference to
The input record information acquisition part 4 acquires the input record information indicating a record in which each user has inputted a comment with respect to a presented evaluation subject.
In more details, the input record information acquisition part 4 acquires standby time after a prescribed timing until each user starts inputting of a comment with respect to each evaluation subject.
For example, the input record information acquisition part 4 acquires standby time after each user starts browsing of each evaluation subject until each user inputs a comment. Then, the input record information acquisition part 4, by calculating an average value of the standby time for every evaluation subject, acquires the average standby time to create a comment input standby-time table, and stores it in the input record information storage part 15.
The opinion information selection part 2, based on the input record information acquired by the input record information acquisition part 4, that is, the comment input standby-time table, determines presenting methods for one or more comments selected by the opinion information selection part 2, that is a comment presenting timing, for example.
Specifically, the opinion information presentation part 3, in the case where a comment with respect to the presented evaluation subject is not inputted even if prescribed time elapses after the prescribed timing, presents a comment to a subject user.
The opinion information selection part 2, with reference to the comment input standby-time table, calculates the above-mentioned prescribed time based on each standby time with respect to the presented evaluation subject. For example, the opinion information selection part 2 calculates mean time of each standby time with respect to the presented evaluation subject, and calculates time shorter than the calculated mean time as the above-mentioned prescribed time.
With reference to
Next, the opinion information selection part 2, with reference to the comment input standby-time table stored in the input record information storage part 15, acquires average standby time of this evaluation subject (Step S2).
Next, the opinion information selection part 2 stands by after the timing at which a user has started browsing of an evaluation subject until 90% of the average standby time of this evaluation subject for example elapses (NO at Step S3).
Then, the opinion information selection part 2, in the case where the user does not input a comment with respect to this evaluation subject even if up to 90% of the average standby time of this evaluation subject elapses after the timing at which a user has started browsing of the evaluation subject (YES at Step S3), with reference to the comment-point table stored in the evaluation value storage part 13, selects one or more comments based on a point which each comment has, and outputs them to the opinion information presentation part 3 (Step S4).
Next, the opinion information presentation part 3 presents to a user the comment received from the opinion information selection part 2 (Step S5).
With reference to
First, the opinion information presentation part 3 display an input field F1 for a user to input a comment and a past comment field F2 in which each comment stored in the opinion information storage part 14 is arranged in the order in which the comment has been acquired by the opinion information acquisition part 1, for example. In the past comment field F2, a scroll bar is provided and a user can browse all the comments stored in the opinion information storage part 14.
Then, the opinion information selection part 2, in the case where even if 90% for example of the average standby time corresponding to the evaluation subject elapses after this screen has been displayed, a user does not think of a comment, and a comment with respect to this evaluation subject is not inputted (YES at Step S3), displays a screen as shown in
With reference to ” and the comment “There is no reason in particular, but I think that it is inevitable” which are comments having a high point (Step S5).
Looking at such comments, a user thinks of a comment with respect to the evaluation subject, and inputs this comment.
[Comment Presenting Method (Part 2)]
Next, other examples of presenting operation of a comment by the information-processing device according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described using drawings.
With reference to
The opinion information selection part 2 creates, for every evaluation subject, a frequency distribution of each standby time stored in the input record information storage part 2.
The opinion information selection part 2 creates a frequency distribution of each standby time acquired by the input record information acquisition part 4, and detects a peak in the created frequency distribution, and calculates time shorter than the standby time corresponding to the detected peak as a comment presenting timing.
Specifically, the opinion information selection part 2, since the most users have inputted a comment after seconds from a browsing finish time of a certain evaluation subject, presents a comment at the timing a little before the 30 seconds which is the peaking time.
That is, the opinion information selection part 2, in place of average standby time in Step S3 of the flowchart shown in
Meanwhile, in many cases in a system for the purpose of collecting opinions with respect to a certain content, a few users input a comment positively with respect to this content among users who browse this content, and most users only browse this content and does not input comments. Consequently, a scheme capable of inducing a large number of users' comments is expected.
As compared with this, in the information-processing device according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the opinion information acquisition part 1 acquires primary opinion information which indicates each user's content of opinion with respect to one or more evaluation subjects. The opinion information selection part 2, as input-prompting information for the purpose of prompting a subject user to input content of opinion with respect to a presented evaluation subject which is a evaluation subject presented to a subject user, selects one or more pieces of primary opinion information from among a plurality of pieces of primary opinion information acquired by the opinion information acquisition part 1. Then, the opinion information presentation part 3 presents, to a subject user, one or more pieces of primary opinion information selected by the opinion information selection part 2.
In this way, by selecting and presenting past comments of other users or subject users to the subject user who is browsing an evaluation subject, it is possible to prompt the subject user to input a comment with respect to an evaluation subject effectively.
That is, by a minimum configuration comprised of the opinion information acquisition part 1, the opinion information selection part 2, and the opinion information presentation part 3 among each constituent in the information-processing device according to the first embodiment of the present invention, it becomes possible to achieve an object of the present invention to collect opinions from a larger number of users.
In addition, in the information-processing device according to the first embodiment of the present invention, primary opinion information is textual information, and the evaluation value conversion information storage part 5 stores a correspondence relation between the textual information characteristics and the evaluation value. The evaluation value calculation part 12, based on the correspondence relation stored by the evaluation value conversion information storage part 5, converts the content of opinion which the primary opinion information acquired by the opinion information acquisition part 1 indicates into an evaluation value. Then, the opinion information selection part 2 selects one or more pieces of primary opinion information based on the evaluation value which has been converted by the evaluation value calculation part 12.
By such a configuration as this, it becomes possible to calculate an evaluation value of each comment based on textual information characteristics, and select a comment appropriately based on this evaluation value.
In addition, in the information-processing device according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the evaluation value conversion information storage part 5 is provided with a plurality of ranges with respect to a degree of textual information characteristics, and stores a correspondence relation indicating an evaluation value for the every range.
By such a configuration as this, as compared with a configuration which makes an evaluation value increase or decrease in proportion to a degree of a textual information characteristics for example, it becomes possible to perform configuring of an evaluation value more flexibly such as making the evaluation value as a constant value in the case where the degree of the textual information characteristics exceeds a certain range.
In addition, in the information-processing device according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the input record information acquisition part 4 acquires input record information indicating a record where each user has inputted content of opinion with respect to one or more evaluation subjects.

The message presenting part 11 presents to a subject user one or more messages selected by the message selecting part 10.
With reference to
Specifically, this message list includes messages such as: “Even such a comment as is simple as this may be OK”; “Preferably, please present a comment as in-detail as this”; “There is also such a comment”; and “Is there any comment other than this?”.
With reference to
Next, the message selecting part 10 selects one or more messages from within the message list, and outputs the selected messages to the message presenting part 11. For example, the message selecting part 10 selects one or more messages based on a content of a selected comment, such as messages associated with one or more comments selected by the opinion information selection part 2 (Step S15).
Next, the opinion information presentation part 3 and message presenting part 11 present to a user each a comment received from the opinion information selection part 2 and a message received from the message selecting part 10 (Step S16).
With reference to ” and the comment “There is no reason in particular, but I think that it is inevitable” which are comments having a high point for example, outputs the message “Even such a comment as is simple as this may be OK” to the message presenting part 11, and thereby, displays this message on a screen (Step S16).
While looking at a comment and message like this, a user thinks of a comment with respect to the evaluation subject, and inputs this comment.
Besides, in the case where the message selecting part 10 selects one or more messages based on a content of one or more comments selected by the opinion information selection part 2, the opinion information presentation part 3 may be configured not to present a comment.
By such a configuration as this, it becomes possible to deal with flexibly the case where there is a limit to a display space of a screen, or the like.
As mentioned above, in the information-processing device according to the second embodiment of the present invention, the message storage part 9 stores one or more prescribed messages.

With reference to
The user information acquisition part 7 acquires user information indicating at least any of a subject user's comment with respect to one or more evaluation subjects and a record in which the subject user has inputted a comment, and stores it in the user information storage part 16 as a user table.
The opinion information selection part 2, with reference to the user table stored in the user information storage part 16, selects one or more comments based on the user information acquired by the user information acquisition part 7.
In more details, the group determination part 8, with reference to the user table stored in the user information storage part 16, based on the user information acquired by the user information acquisition part 7, determines from among a plurality of groups a group to which the subject user belongs. For example, the group determination part 8 classifies users into a plurality of groups in accordance with an experience level indicating an experience degree of a comment input, and determines from among a plurality of groups a group to which the subject user belongs based on the user information acquired by the user information acquisition part 7.
The opinion information selection part 2, based on the group to which the subject user belongs determined by the group determination part 8, selects one or more comments.
In addition, the evaluation value conversion information storage part 5 stores a correspondence relation between at least either of a user's comment with respect to one or more evaluation subjects and/or an input record of a comment by a user and an evaluation value.
The evaluation value calculation part 12, based on the correspondence relation stored by the evaluation value conversion information storage part 5, converts a content of the comment acquired by the opinion information acquisition part 1 into an evaluation value.
The opinion information selection part 2, based on a group to which the subject user belongs, selects preferentially a comment of which evaluation value is small or a comment of which evaluation value is large.
With reference to
Besides, a subject of an operation log in this user table may be both an evaluation subject which a subject user is browsing and the other evaluation subject, or may be either of a presented evaluation subject which a subject user is browsing and/or the other evaluation subject. In addition, the user table may be configured to include standby time until a comment input described in the first embodiment of the present invention as an input record of a comment by each user.
The group determination part 8 makes at least one of that a registration date is old, and that the number of input characters is large, and that the number of times of input is large as a condition for a user to have a high experience level.
With reference to
Specifically, in this experience value calculation table, the experience level of a user where the total number of input characters is 0 to 100 is “low”, and the experience level of a user where the total number of input characters is 101 to 1000 is “middle”, and the experience level of a user where the total number of input characters is no more than 1001 is “high”.
The user information storage part 16 stores this experience value calculation table. The group determination part 8, for example, calculates the total number of input characters from an average value of each user's number of input characters in comment and the number of times of comment input, and calculates each user's experience level with reference to this experience value calculation table, and registers it in the user table stored in the user information storage part 16.
With reference to
On the other hand, the opinion information selection part 2, in the case where a subject user's experience level is “low” or “middle” (NO at Step S21), with reference to the comment-point table stored in the evaluation value storage part 13, selects comment of which point is high (Step S23).
Besides, the opinion information selection part 2 may select a comment of which point is low in the case where a subject user's experience level is “high” or “middle”, and may select a comment of which point is high in the case where a subject user's experience level is “low”.
In this way, the information-processing device 203, to a user where an experience level is high and an advanced comment can be expected to be inputted, presents an advanced comment of which point is low. That is, by showing a detailed comment, it is possible to induce more comments.
In addition, the information-processing device 203, to a user where an experience level is low and a mental threshold with respect to a comment input is needed to be reduced, presents a comment of which point is high, i.e., a comment which seems to be easy to be inputted.
[Comment Presenting Method (Part 3)]
The opinion information selection part 2, for every evaluation subject, creates a frequency distribution of each standby time stored in the input record information storage part 2.
In addition, the user information acquisition part 7 acquires user information indicating standby time after a prescribed timing until a subject user starts inputting of a comment with respect to one or more evaluation subjects.
The opinion information selection part 2, in the case of detecting a plurality of peaks in the created frequency distribution shown in
Specifically, a frequency distribution of standby time until each user's comment input with respect to a certain evaluation subject has two peaks in the period TA and period TB. In this case, the opinion information selection part 2, comparing the frequency distribution indicated in the upper part of
As mentioned above, in the information-processing device according to the third embodiment of the present invention, the user information acquisition part 7 acquires user information indicating at least either of subject user's content of opinion with respect to one or more evaluation subjects and/or a record in which a subject user has inputted content of opinion. Then, the opinion information selection part 2 selects one or more peaces of primary opinion information based on user information acquired by the user information acquisition part 7.
By such a configuration as this, since it is possible to select and present an optimal comment for every user, it becomes possible to provide a more advanced comment-prompting system.
In addition, in the information-processing device according to the third embodiment of the present invention, the group determination part 8, based on the user information acquired by the user information acquisition part 7, determines from among a plurality of groups a group to which a subject user belongs. Then, the opinion information selection part 2 selects one or more pieces of primary opinion information based on a group to which a subject user belongs.
By such a configuration as this, by carrying out grouping a large number of users based on a certain criterion, it is possible to select and present an optimal comment efficiently.
In addition, in the information-processing device according to the third embodiment of the present invention, the evaluation value conversion information storage part 5 stores a correspondence relation between at least either of user's content of opinion with respect to one or more evaluation subjects and/or an input record of the content of opinion by a user and the evaluation value. The evaluation value calculation part 12 converts the content of opinion indicated by the primary opinion information acquired by the opinion information acquisition part 1 into an evaluation value based on the correspondence relation stored by the evaluation value conversion information storage part 5. Then, the opinion information selection part 2 acquires an experience level of content of opinion input of a subject user based on the user information acquired by the user information acquisition part 7, and in accordance with highness and lowness of the subject user's experience level, selects preferentially primary opinion information of which evaluation value is small or primary opinion information of which evaluation value is large.
In this way, by changing a comment selection criterion based on an evaluation value in accordance with a user's experience degree, it is possible to select and present a further optimal comment for every user.
In addition, in the information-processing device according to the third embodiment of the present invention, the user information acquisition part 7 acquires user information indicating standby time after a prescribed timing until a subject user starts inputting of content of opinion with respect to one or more evaluation subjects. The opinion information selection part 2, in the case of detecting a plurality of peaks in the created frequency distribution, based on the user information acquired by the user information acquisition part 7, creates a frequency distribution of subject user's each standby time. Then, the opinion information selection part 2 selects any of a plurality of peaks based on the created subject user's frequency distribution, and calculates, as a prescribed time, time shorter than the standby time corresponding to the selected peak.
By such a configuration as this, even in the case where a plurality of peaks exist in a frequency distribution of each user's standby time, an appropriate presenting timing can be acquired for every user.
Since other configurations and operations are the same as those of the information-processing device according to the first embodiment, detailed descriptions are not repeated here.
Next, an other embodiment of the present invention will be described using the figures. It is noted that the same reference character will be is given to the same or corresponding part in the figures, and thus the description will not be repeated.
The present embodiment relates to an information-processing device which changes a point calculation method in accordance with a user classification result, as compared with the information-processing device according to the third embodiment. It is the same as the information-processing device according to the third embodiment except for a content described in the following.
The evaluation value conversion information storage part 5 has stored a comment point calculation table shown in
The evaluation value calculation part 12, based on the correspondence relation stored by the evaluation value conversion information storage part 5, i.e., the comment point calculation table and the group to which the subject user belongs, converts a content of the comment acquired by the opinion information acquisition part 1 into an evaluation value, and creates a comment-point table and stores it in the evaluation value storage part 13.
Specifically, the evaluation value calculation part 12, by adding together a point of the text length and a point of the percentage of Hiragana in the comment point calculation table shown in
With reference to
For example, an evaluation subject of which evaluation subject ID is Idea-1 is the question “what do you think about tax increase?”, and with respect to this question, this comment-point table shows that: with respect to the comment “It is absolutely disagreeable ”, the point for a user whose experience level is “low” or “middle” is 120 and the point for a user whose experience level is “high” is 120; with respect to the comment “There is no reason in particular, but I think that it is inevitable”, the point for a user whose experience level is “low” or “middle” is 120 and the point for a user whose experience level is “high” is 60; with respect to the comment “In consideration of national financial resources, I think that tax increase is inevitable”, the point for a user whose experience level is “low” or “middle” is 160 and the point for a user whose experience level is “high” is 120; with respect to the comment “Disagreeable, very much disagreeable!!, and absolutely disagreeable”, the point for a user whose experience level is “low” or “middle” is 100 and the point for a user whose experience level is “high” is 100; and with respect to the comment “Re-evaluation including a direction of increasing a tobacco tax and liquor tax will be required”, the point for a user whose experience level is “low” or “middle” is 70 and the point for a user whose experience level is “high” is 20.
In addition, an evaluation subject of which evaluation subject ID is Idea-2 is information with respect to a certain event, and with respect to the information, this comment-point table shows that with respect to the comment “Indeed, will I be going?”, the point for a user whose experience level is “low” or “middle” is 180 and the point for a user whose experience level is “high” is 180.
The opinion information selection part 2, with reference to such comment-point table as this, selects a comment based on a point of each comment.
Here, the opinion information selection part 2 selects one or more comments based on the evaluation value converted by the evaluation value calculation part 12 and the group to which the subject user belongs.
With reference to
On the other hand, the opinion information selection part 2, in the case where a subject user's experience level is “low” or “middle” (NO at Step S31), with reference to the comment-point table stored in the evaluation value storage part 13, selects a comment having a high point for an experience level “low” or “middle” (Step S33).
In this way, the information-processing device 204 changes a point calculation method of a comment in the case where a subject user's experience level is “high” and in the case where a subject user's experience level is “low” or “middle”.
Then, the information-processing device 204, to a user where an experience level is high and an advanced comment can be expected to be inputted, presents an advanced comment having a low point for an experience level “high”. That is, by showing a detailed comment, it is possible to induce more comments.
In addition, the information-processing device 204, to a user where an experience level low, and a mental threshold with respect to a comment input is needed to be reduced, presents a comment having a high point for an experience level “low” or “middle”, i.e., a comment which seems to be easy to be inputted.
As mentioned above, in the information-processing device according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention, the evaluation value conversion information storage part 5 stores a correspondence relation between at least either of user's content of opinion with respect to an evaluation subject and/or an input record of content of opinion by a user and the evaluation value. The evaluation value calculation part 12, based on the correspondence relation stored by the evaluation value conversion information storage part 5 and the group to which the subject user belongs, converts the content of opinion indicated by the primary opinion information acquired by the opinion information acquisition part 1 into an evaluation value. Then, the opinion information selection part 2 selects one or more pieces of primary opinion information based on the evaluation value converted by the evaluation value calculation part 12 and the group to which the subject user belongs.
By such a configuration as this, since a calculation method of an evaluation value and a selection method of a comment can be switched for every group to which a user belongs, it is possible to select a further optimal comment for every user.
Therefore, in the information-processing device according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention, as compared with the information-processing device according to the third embodiment of the present invention, further, it becomes possible to select and present an optimal comment for every user, and therefore, it is possible further to provide a more advanced comment-prompting system.
Besides, in the information-processing device according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention, assumed has been the configuration in which an evaluation value calculation method and a comment selection method are switched between a case where an experience level is “low” or “middle” and a case where an experience level is “high”, and however, it is not limited to this. It may be a configuration in which an evaluation value calculation method and a comment selection method are switched between a case where an experience level is “low” and a case where an experience level is “high” or “middle”, and may be a configuration in which an evaluation value calculation method and a comment selection method are switched for every case where an experience level is “low”, “middle”, or “high”.
Since other configurations and operations are the same as those of the information-processing device according to the third embodiment, detailed descriptions are not repeated here.
Next, an other embodiment of the present invention will be described using the figures. It is noted that the same reference character will be is given to the same or corresponding part in the figures, and thus the description will not be repeated.
The present embodiment relates to an information-processing device which converts other characteristics of a comment into an evaluation value as compared with the information-processing device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. It is the same as the information-processing device according to the first embodiment except for a content described in the following.
With reference to
In this comment-expressivity table, indicated are a comment with respect to an evaluation subject of which evaluation subject ID is Idea—1 and an evaluation subject of which evaluation subject ID is Idea—2, as well as an expressivity of each comment.
For example, an evaluation subject of which evaluation subject ID is Idea-1 is the question “what do you think about tax increase?”, and with respect to this question, this comment-expressivity table shows that: the expressivity of the comment “It is absolutely disagreeable ” is 90; the expressivity of the comment “There is no reason in particular, but I think that it is inevitable” is 20; the expressivity of the comment “In consideration of national financial resources, I think that tax increase is inevitable” is 40; the expressivity of the comment “Disagreeable, very much disagreeable!!, and absolutely disagreeable” is −100; and the expressivity of the comment “Re-evaluation including a direction of increasing a tobacco tax and liquor tax will be required” is 60.
In addition, an evaluation subject of which evaluation subject ID is Idea-2 is information with respect to a certain event, and with respect to the information, this comment-point table shows that the expressivity of the comment “Indeed, will I be going?” is 90.
The evaluation value storage part 13 stores this comment-expressivity table. The opinion information selection part 2, with reference to the comment-expressivity table stored in the evaluation value storage part 13, selects a comment based on the expressivity of each comment.
With reference to
The evaluation value conversion information storage part 5 stores this positive/negative expression list. The evaluation value calculation part 12, with reference to the positive/negative expression list stored in the evaluation value conversion information storage part 5, detects the positive expression word and negative expression word in a comment acquired by the opinion information acquisition part 1, and calculates an expressivity of this comment based on the detection result.
For example, the evaluation value calculation part 12, calculates an expressivity of each comment in a range of −100 to 100 based on the number of positive expression words and number of negative expression words in each comment, and registers it in the comment-expressivity table.
Alternatively, the evaluation value calculation part 12 assumes an expressivity of a positive expression word as a positive value and an expressivity of a negative expression word as a negative value, and gives a weighting to each expression word based on whether an emphasis expression such as “very much” has been added, and thereby, an expressivity of each comment may be calculated.
In addition, the user information acquisition part 7 calculates an average value with respect to an expressivity of a subject user's comment with respect to one or more evaluation subjects, and registers it in a user table in the user information storage part 16.
With reference to
That is, the opinion information selection part 2, in the case where comment tendency of a subject user is negative, for example, an average expressivity of the subject user's comment is less than a prescribed value (YES at Step S41), with reference to the comment-expressivity table stored in the evaluation value storage part 13, selects a comment of which expressivity is low (Step S42).
On the other hand, the opinion information selection part 2, in the case where comment tendency of a subject user is affirmative, for example, an average expressivity of the subject user's comment is no less than a above-mentioned prescribed value (NO at Step S41), with reference to the comment-expressivity table stored in the evaluation value storage part 13, selects a comment of which expressivity is high (Step S43).
In this way, in the information-processing device according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention, the evaluation value calculation part 12 calculates an expressivity indicating an affirmation expression degree and negative expression degree of a comment acquired by the opinion information acquisition part 1. Then, the opinion information selection part 2, based on whether a group to which a subject user belongs, i.e., a comment tendency is affirmative or negative, selects preferentially a comment of which expressivity is small or a comment of which expressivity is large.
For example, the opinion information selection part 2, with respect to a user where an average value of an expressivity of a comment is low and there is a tendency to input a negative comment, presents a comment of which expressivity is low. That is, by showing an aggressive or negative comment, it is possible to induce more comments.
In addition, the opinion information selection part 2, with respect to a user where an average value of an expressivity of a comment is high and there is a tendency to input a affirmative comment, presents a comment of which expressivity is high, i.e., an affirmative comment.
Therefore, in the information-processing device according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention, since it is possible to select and present an optimal comment for every user, it becomes possible to provide a more advanced comment-prompting system.
Since other configurations and operations are the same as those of the information-processing device according to the first embodiment, detailed descriptions are not repeated here.
