The present disclosure relates to an information processing system, a communication device, a control method, and a storage medium.
In recent years, information processing systems detecting smiles of people and performing predetermined processes in accordance with detection of the smiles have been proposed.
For example, the following Patent Literature 1 discloses a smile banking system in which smiles of customers are captured in ATMs installed at bank branches and privilege services such as preferential interest rates of card loans can be obtained from banks as the smiles are saved.
In addition, the following Patent Literature 2 discloses a system in which average values of degrees of smiling are calculated from face images and advice for smile training is output in accordance with the average values.
Patent Literature 1: JP 2012-185736A
Patent Literature 2: JP 2010-186373A
However, the systems of the related art in which the above-described smiles are used are closed systems between devices and users in which behavior such as smiling performed between the devices and users are detected and privilege or advice is provided to the users and are used only in environments of the users.
Systems that prompt smiles in daily life in the stressful present day on the basis of the idea that people become happy because of smiling rather than that people smile because they are happy are valuable in that they make people happy. In addition, it has recently been reported that when people smile, their immunity is strengthened and good influences are exerted on their bodies.
Accordingly, results stored by specifying positive interactions such as smiling or saying words of gratitude such as “thank you” between people or between people and things in daily life can be shared with not only users but also people other than users or services, so that people can have more smiles and more words of gratitude in their lives, people become happy, and finally mental and physical health can also be improved.
Accordingly, the present disclosure proposes an information processing system, a communication device, a control method, and a storage medium capable of generating positive interactions between people or between people and things as emotion values.

According to the present disclosure, as described above, it is possible to generate positive interactions between people or between people and things as emotion values.
Note that the effects described above are not necessarily limitative. With or in the place of the above effects, there may be achieved any one of the effects described in this specification or other effects that may be grasped from this specification.
Hereinafter, (a) preferred embodiment(s) of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the appended drawings. Note that, in this specification and the appended drawings, structural elements that have substantially the same function and structure are denoted with the same reference numerals, and repeated explanation of these structural elements is omitted.
In addition, the description will be made in the following order.
First, an overview of an information processing system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described. The information processing system according to the embodiment specifies positive interactions among interactions between a user and people or things and generates emotion values (also referred to as positive emotion values) of the user on the basis of the fact that the user performs or receives the positive interactions. The emotion value is an index indicated by digitizing a value of a feeling (that is, a sentiment) held by (or holding) a person (or a thing). For example, an emotion value of a person who performs more positive interactions or a person who receives more positive interactions is increased.
The emotion values of the user calculated by specifying positive interactions in this way can be shared not only with the user but also people other than the user or services, so that people can have more smiles or more words of gratitude in their lives, people become happy, and finally mental and physical health can also be improved.
For example,
At this time, as shown on a display screen 700 in
The overview and the use example of the information processing system according to the embodiment of the present disclosure have been described above. Next, an overall configuration of the information processing system according to the embodiment will be described with reference to
Interactions between the plurality of objects are detected by, for example, sensors such as cameras or microphones which are mounted on the objects 1C to 1F that are things and also function as sensing devices 2. The detected interactions are transmitted to the emotion server 3 via the network 5. In addition, interactions of objects 1A and 1B that are persons are detected by sensing devices 2A and 2B worn by the persons and are transmitted to the emotion server 3 via the network 5.
In addition, interactions between the plurality of objects are detected by each of both sides performing the interactions and sides on which the interactions are performed (received) and are transmitted to the emotion server 3 along with object IDs.
In the embodiment, in particular, smiles or words of gratitude such as “thank you” are treated as positive interactions. Therefore, sensors such as cameras or microphones are mainly used to detect interactions. Also, when a person is wearing the sensing device 2, a smile of the person (for example, the object 1A) may not be imaged in some cases depending on the structure of the sensing device 2. However, a camera mounted on or worn by an object (for example, the object 1B) of a partner can image the smile of the object 1A. Then, the sensing device 2B of the object 1B transmits a smile interaction of the object 1A and the object ID of the object 1A to the emotion server 3. Thus, even in a case in which the smile interaction of the person may not be imaged with the sensing device 2 of the person, the smile interaction can be imaged and detected by the sensing device 2 of the partner.
The emotion server 3 accumulates the interactions between the plurality of objects or evaluation values of the interactions and calculates emotion values based on the accumulated positive interactions in response to a request from the bias calculation server 4 to transmit the emotion values to the bias calculation server 4.
The bias calculation server 4 calculates a bias value of the positive emotion value (also referred to as a positive bias value) serving as a base on the basis of the positive interactions in which a specific person smiles or says words of gratitude for a previous given period. For example, the calculated bias value may be an average value of evaluation values of the positive interactions for a given period or may be an average value of n latest points.
The bias calculation server 4 notifies a cloud server or an application providing a predetermined service of the bias value related to the positive interactions of the specific person. In addition, at this time, the bias calculation server 4 may acquire emotion values (evaluation values) of positive interactions of a specific person occurring in real time (currently) and notify the cloud server or the application of the emotion values of the current positive interactions along with the bias value of the positive interactions.
The cloud server or the application receiving the bias value or the like of the positive interactions of the specific person allows a person other than the specific person to browse information regarding the positive interactions of the specific person or performs expression change control of a stuffed toy in accordance with the bias value. In this way, in the information processing system according to the embodiment, the positive interactions of the specific person are presented to another person in various forms. Therefore, each person is led to consciously increase his or her smiling or words of gratitude. As a result, the happiness of society overall can be achieved.
Also, in the configuration of the system illustrated in
The example of the overall configuration of the information processing system according to the embodiment has been described above. Next, basic configurations of the sensing device 2, the emotion server 3, and the bias calculation server 4 included in the information processing system according to the embodiment will be described specifically with reference to
The sensor 21 has a function of detecting an interaction between objects. The sensor 21 is realized by, for example, a camera, an infrared sensor, a microphone, a humidity sensor, a temperature sensor, a vibration sensor, a tactile sensor, a gyro sensor, an acceleration sensor, an illuminance sensor, a human detection sensor, an atmospheric sensor (specifically, a dust sensor or a contaminant sensor), a speed sensor, a number-of-times measurement value, or the like.
The interaction extraction unit 22 functions as a detection unit that analyzes sensing data output from the sensor 21 and detects information related to an interaction between first and second objects. For example, the interaction extraction unit 22 specifically extracts an interaction (smiles, conversation, donation, or the like) between people or an interaction between a person and an article (facial expressions toward an article, maintenance of an article, handling of an article, or the like). In addition, the interaction extraction unit 22 also functions as a controller that performs control such that the extracted interaction information is transmitted from the communication unit 23 to the emotion server 3 in association with the ID of the first object and the ID of the second object.
The communication unit 23 transmits information related to the interaction extracted by the interaction extraction unit 22 to the emotion server 3 via the network 5.
In the above-described sensing device 2, a microcomputer that includes a central processing unit (CPU), a read-only memory (ROM), a random access memory (RAM), and a nonvolatile memory is loaded to control each configuration of the sensing device 2.
In addition, the sensing device 2 may be contained in an object that is a thing or may be carried by an object that is a thing or a person. A type of sensing device 2 carried by an object that is a thing or a person may be, for example, a wearable device of a neck-hanging type, head-mounted type, glasses type, ring type, armband type, or watch type, or the like, or may be a mobile terminal such as a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or a notebook type PC. In addition, the sensing device 2 may be a badge type device or may be worn on a collar or a breast of a suit. Hereinafter, specific description will be made with reference to
The imaging lens 21a can image an expression (for example, a “smile”) of a conversation partner facing a wearer. In addition, in a case in which an imaging view angle of the imaging lens 21a is wide, an expression of the wearer can also be imaged. In addition, a voice (for example, words of gratitude such as “thank you”) of only a conversation partner person facing the front of the wearer can be collected using the directional microphone 21b. In addition, in the case of a microphone that has upward directivity, speech of the wearer can also be collected. In addition, in a case in which people wearing the same badge type sensor device face each other, the infrared communication unit 23a can perform infrared communication. For example, the sensing device 2x transmits an object ID of the wearer to the sensing devices 2y and 2z through the infrared communication unit 23a. Thus, in a case in which interactions of the partner (the wearer of the sensing device 2z) acquired by the imaging lens 21a or the directional microphone 21b are extracted, the sensing devices 2y and 2z can transmit the object ID of the partner along with the interactions from the communication unit 23 to the emotion server 3.
The controller 30 is configured with a microcomputer that includes a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and a nonvolatile memory and controls each configuration of the emotion server 3. In addition, as illustrated in
The interaction storage controller 30a performs control such that interaction information received from the sensing device 2 is stored in the emotion information DB 33.
The evaluation unit 30b evaluates the interaction stored in the emotion information DB 33. A method of evaluating the interaction (action) is not particularly limited. For example, the evaluation unit 30b may grant a score (evaluation value) of −1.0 to 1.0 on the basis of a standard decided with any evaluation index. The granted evaluation value is stored in the emotion information DB 33 in association with the interaction.
The object management unit 30c performs management such as registration, changing, and deletion of information regarding an object stored in the object DB 32 (the object ID, name, and type, or the like).
The related object search unit 30d searches for a related object which is another object in which an interaction occurs with the object ID requested from an external device from an interaction history stored in the emotion information DB 33 and searches for information regarding the related object from the object DB 32. In the embodiment, particularly, a related object which is another object for which a positive interaction with the object ID requested from an external device occurs is retrieved.
The emotion value calculation unit 30e calculates an emotion value of the requested object on the basis of evaluations values in association with interactions accumulated in the emotion information DB 33. A method of calculating the emotion value is not particularly limited. For example, the emotion value calculation unit 30e according to the present embodiment may calculate a positive absolute emotion value of the requested object on the basis of a total value of all (or the one for a certain period) the positive interaction evaluation values occurring between the requested object and other objects. In addition, the emotion value calculation unit 30e may calculate the positive absolute emotion value of the requested object on the basis of an average value of all (or the one for a certain period) the positive interaction evaluation values. Alternatively, the emotion value calculation unit 30e can also perform weighting by the type of interaction and then calculate the positive absolute emotion value on the basis of the total value, the average value, or the like.
Alternatively, the emotion value calculation unit 30e can also calculate a relative emotion value of a requested object to a specific (or a specific type of) object on the basis of a total value, an average value, or the like of positive interaction evaluation values occurring between the requested object and the specific object.
The communication unit 31 receives interaction information from the sensing devices 2 or receives an emotion value acquisition request from the bias calculation server 4 via the network 5. In addition, the communication unit 31 replies with an emotion value based on the positive interaction evaluation value calculated by the emotion value calculation unit 30e in response to the emotion value acquisition request from the bias calculation server 4.
The object database 32 stores adjunctive information regarding each object, for example, a name (a personal name or an item name), a type (sex or category), identification information (a face image, biometric information, a serial number, a model, and a maker ID), and the like in association with the object ID of each object (including a person and an article).
The emotion information DB 33 stores information regarding interactions (interaction information) between objects which is used to calculate an emotion value. Here, an example of the interaction information is illustrated in
As illustrated in
The configuration of the emotion server 3 according to the embodiment has been described specifically above. As described above, the emotion server 3 can accumulate information regarding various interactions (interaction information) and calculate an emotion value on the basis of the interaction evaluation value. In the embodiment, however, positive interactions are particularly focused on to calculate emotion values of positive interactions.
Also, the configuration of the emotion server 3 is not limited to the example illustrated in
The controller 40 is configured with a microcomputer that includes a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and a nonvolatile memory and controls each configuration of the bias calculation server 4. In addition, as illustrated in
The emotion value acquisition unit 40a has a function of acquiring an emotion value of a specific user from the emotion server 3 via the communication unit 41. More specifically, the emotion value acquisition unit 40a requests an emotion value based on the positive interactions accumulated within a predetermined period from the emotion server 3 on the basis of the object ID of the specific user to acquire the emotion value. In addition, the emotion value acquisition unit 40a may request the emotion value from the emotion server 3 on the basis of an object ID requested from a cloud server or an application in which a bias value to be described below or an emotion value based on positive interactions of a specific person is output to another person for use.
The bias calculation unit 40b calculates a bias value on the basis of the emotion value of the positive interaction of the specific user acquired by the emotion value acquisition unit 40a. For example, the bias calculation unit 40b smoothes a previous temporal change of the emotion value and obtains an average emotion value (referred to here as a “bias value”) of the specific person within a given period.
The notification unit 40c performs control such that the cloud server or the application in which a bias value or an emotion value of positive interactions is output to another person for use is notified of the bias value or the emotion value.
The communication unit 41 receives the emotion value of the positive interactions from the emotion server 3 via the network 5. In addition, under the control of the notification unit 40c, the communication unit 41 transmits the calculated bias value of the positive interactions to the cloud server or the application in which the bias value is output to another person for use.
The storage unit 42 stores a program used for the controller 40 to perform each process or parameters necessary to perform each process. In addition, the storage unit 42 may temporarily store the calculated bias value.
The overview and the overall configuration of the information processing system and the configuration of each device included in the information processing system according to the embodiment have been described above. The emotion value or the bias value of the positive interactions described above are used for various services or control. Finally, the happiness of society overall is improved. Here, a plurality of embodiments will be described as examples in regard to use of the bias value or the like of the positive interactions.
A first embodiment relates to a two-way smile support system capable of supporting smiling of both a target person and another person. The two-way smile support system controls an expression of a stuffed toy or a doll owned by another person in accordance with a bias value based on accumulated positive interactions of the target person or an emotion value based on a real-time positive interaction. Hereinafter, an overview of this system will be described with reference to
Subsequently, the bias calculation server 4 acquires an emotion value based on the accumulated positive interactions of the father calculated by the emotion server 3, calculates a bias value of the positive interaction emotion value on the basis of the emotion value, and transmits the bias value to a stuffed toy (the object 1E) of the daughter at home. An application of operation control in accordance with the bias value is mounted on the stuffed toy (the object 1E) and causes the stuffed toy to smile or reproduces a sound of laughter in accordance with the bias value of the positive interaction of the father.
Thus, when the father smiles or says words of gratitude at work, the stuffed toy of the daughter also smiles at home, and thus the daughter can be pleased. In addition, when the stuffed toy smiles or reproduces the sound of laughter, the daughter also laughs reflexively or embraces the stuffed toy. Therefore, such an interaction can be detected by the objects 1E to 1H and control can be performed in a reverse direction at that moment. For example, the bias calculation server 4 acquires an emotion value based on accumulated positive interactions of the daughter calculated by the emotion server 3, calculates a bias value of the positive interaction emotion value on the basis of the emotion value, and transmits the bias value to the doll (the object 1D) on the table of the father in the office. An application of operation control in accordance with the bias value is mounted on the doll (the object 1D) and the doll smiles or changes its pose in accordance with the bias value of the positive interactions of the daughter. In addition, the bias calculation server 4 may perform control such that the chair (the object 1E) on which the father sits vibrates or tightens similarly to the child's embrace in accordance with an emotion value of a positive interaction “embracing the stuffed toy,” which is a real-time interaction of the daughter.
Thus, even when the daughter does not understand the meaning of the entire system, the daughter can be pleased that her father is working with a smile as a result. In addition, when the result is also fed back to the father, two-way smiling can be supported. Also, the embodiment is not limited to an active positive interaction in which a specific person smiles or says words of gratitude. An inactive positive interaction in which a specific person receives a smile or words of gratitude may be included and a positive interaction of the specific person may be fed back.
Here, an object 1, such as the stuffed toy (the object 1E) or the doll (the object 1D), that feeds a positive interaction back will be described specifically with reference to
The controller 10 is configured with a microcomputer that includes a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and a nonvolatile memory and controls each configuration of the object 1. The controller 10 according to the embodiment transmits an interaction detected by the microphone 12, the camera 13, the pressure sensor 14, or the like to the emotion server 3 via the communication unit 11. In addition, the controller 10 performs control such that the display unit 15, the expression change unit 17, or the vibration unit 18 feeds a positive interaction back in accordance with a bias value of a positive interaction of a specific person received from the bias calculation server 4 or an emotion value of a real-time positive interaction.
The communication unit 11 is connected to an external device in a wireless/wired manner to transmit and receive data.
The microphone 12 has a function of collecting surrounding sounds and outputting sound data to the controller 10. For example, the microphone 12 collects words of gratitude such as “thank you.”
The camera 13 has a function of imaging surroundings and outputting captured images to the controller 10. For example, the camera 13 images a smile of a surrounding person.
The pressure sensor 14 is mounted, for example, in a case in which the object 1 is the stuffed toy (the object 1E) illustrated in
The display unit 15 is mounted, for example, in a case in which the object 1 is the PC (the object 1C) illustrated in
The storage unit 16 stores a program or parameters used for the controller unit 10 to perform each of the foregoing processes.
The expression change unit 17 is mounted, for example, in a case in which the object 1 is the doll (the object 1D) or the stuffed toy (the object 1E) illustrated in
The vibration unit 18 is mounted, for example, in the case in which the object 1 is the chair (the object 1E) illustrated in
Next, an operation process of the two-way smile support system according to the embodiment will be described specifically with reference to
In step S103, the office-side object (for example, the objects 1C and 1D) first acquires a captured image of the father (the object 1A) with the mounted camera 13. The acquisition of the captured image may be performed continuously.
Subsequently, in a case in which a smile can be recognized from the captured image (Yes in step S106), the office-side object transmits the object ID of the father, the ID of the object recognizing the smile, and smile interaction information to the emotion server 3 in step S109.
Subsequently, in step S112, the office-side object (for example, the objects 1C, 1D, and 1E) acquires a sound of the father (the object 1A) with the mounted microphone 12. The acquisition of the sound may be performed continuously.
Subsequently, in a case in which positive words such as “thank you” can be recognized from sound data (Yes in step S15), the office-side object transmits the object ID of the father, the ID of the object recognizing the gratitude words, and the positive speech interaction information to the emotion server 3 in step S118.
S103 to S118 described above are repeated continuously. In addition, the processes of S103 to S109 and the processes of S112 to S118 may be performed in parallel.
Subsequently, in a case in which there is a notification of information regarding the daughter (the object 1F) from the bias calculation server 4 (Yes in step S121), the office-side object feeds the positive bias value (in
Next, in a case in which a given time has elapsed from the final notification reception from the bias calculation server 4 (Yes in step S127), the office-side object changes to feedback with an expression or a pose in accordance with the positive bias value without consideration of the emotion value of the current (real-time) interaction in step S130.
Subsequently, in step S146, the bias calculation server 4 calculates a positive bias value on the basis of, for example, a positive interaction history (specifically, smile interactions and positive speech interactions) of previous n days of a specific person (in the embodiment, the father or the daughter). The positive interaction history of the previous n days is extracted from the emotion information DB 33 of the emotion server 3.
Subsequently, in step S149, the bias calculation server 4 transmits the calculated positive bias value to the office-side object or the home-side object. For example, the bias calculation server 4 transmits the positive bias value of the father calculated on the basis of the emotion value of the positive interaction detected by the office-side object to a home-side object near the daughter. In contrast, the positive bias value of the daughter calculated on the basis of the emotion value of the positive interaction detected by the home-side object is transmitted to the office-side object near the father. Also, a combination of the father and the daughter, places where they reside, or the like may be set in advance or may be set dynamically on the basis of positional information of the father or the daughter.
Then, in step S152, in a case in which the positive interaction is detected in real time, the bias calculation server 4 transmits an emotion value (evaluation value) of the positive interaction to the office-side object or the home-side object.
In step S163, the home-side object (for example, the objects 1E, 1G and 1H) first acquires a captured image of the daughter (the object 1F) with the mounted camera 13. The acquisition of the captured image may be performed continuously.
Subsequently, in a case in which a smile can be recognized from the captured image (Yes in step S166), the home-side object transmits the object ID of the daughter, the ID of the object recognizing the smile, and smile interaction information to the emotion server 3 in step S169.
Subsequently, in step S172, the home-side object (for example, the object 1E) acquires an embracing state with the mounted pressure sensor 14. The acquisition of the embracing state may be performed continuously.
Subsequently, in a case in which the embracing state of the daughter is recognized (Yes in step S175), the home-side object transmits the object ID of the daughter, the ID of the object recognizing the embracing state, and the embracing interaction information to the emotion server 3 in step S178.
S163 to S178 described above are repeated continuously. In addition, the processes of S163 to S169 and the processes of S172 to S178 may be performed in parallel.
Subsequently, in a case in which there is a notification of information regarding the father (the object 1A) from the bias calculation server 4 (Yes in step S181), the home-side object feeds the positive bias value (in
Next, in a case in which a given time has elapsed from the final notification reception from the bias calculation server 4 (Yes in step S187), the home-side object changes to feedback with an expression or a pose according to the positive bias value without consideration of the emotion value of the current (real-time) interaction in step S190.
Here, a difference in an expression change of the stuffed toy in accordance with the bias value or the emotion value will be described with reference to
As illustrated on the upper side of
Also, in the example illustrated in
In addition, as described above, in a case in which notification of an emotion value (hereinafter referred to as a positive interaction evaluation value since one interaction evaluation value is used herein) in accordance with a real-time interaction is issued along with the bias value, the object 1E performs expression control also in consideration of the positive interaction evaluation value. In this case, the expression control of the stuffed toy is performed such that a “smile” appears or a “very smile” appears in accordance with the magnitude of the bias value serving as a base. Hereinafter, the description will be made with reference to
That is, as illustrated on the upper side of
In this way, when the positive interactions are accumulated in everyday life and a person for which the positive bias value is considerably high smiles, a corresponding expression of the stuffed toy is controlled to a “big smile.” In a case in which a person for which the positive interactions are not so accumulated smiles, the expression of the stuffed toy is controlled to a “smile.”
The two-way smile support system according to the first embodiment has been described above. Thus, since each person smiles in everyday life or is conscious of behavior such as expressing gratitude with words, happiness of the whole society is improved.
Next, a second embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to
The emotion server 3 accumulates interaction information of each of users (objects 1I to IM) in everyday life and transmits an emotion value based on a smile interaction evaluation value of a specific user to the bias calculation server 4 as necessary.
The bias calculation server 4 acquires the emotion value based on the smile interaction evaluation value of the specific user from the emotion server 3 on the basis of the object ID of the specific user, for example, in response to a request from the insurance system server 6, calculates a smile bias value, and replies to the insurance system server 6.
When an insurance fee of a specific contractor is reviewed for each given period (for example, every month or every year), the insurance system server 6 designates an object ID of the specific contractor and requests the smile bias value from the bias calculation server 4. The insurance system server 6 performs revision of an insurance fee on the basis of the smile bias value of the specific contractor (that is, a specific user) received from the bias calculation server 4. Specifically, for example, the insurance system server 6 sets a lower insurance fee as the smile bias value is higher, and sets a higher insurance fee as the smile bias value is lower.
Next, an operation process according to the embodiment will be described with reference to
As illustrated in
Subsequently, in step S209, the bias calculation server 4 calculates a smile bias value of the contractor (the specific user) within the target period.
Then, in step S212, the bias calculation server 4 transmits the calculated smile bias value to the insurance system server 6. Thus, the insurance system server 6 can perform an insurance fee revision process in accordance with the smile bias value.
The insurance fee setting system according to the embodiment has been described above. Also, since a specific process by the insurance system server 6 is performed in another system (external server) such as an insurance system, the details thereof will be omitted.
In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the smile bias value has been supplied to the insurance system server 6 using the smile interaction, but the embodiment is not limited thereto. A negative bias value may be calculated using negative interactions such as angers or yelling and may be supplied to the insurance system server 6. It is known that when people feel negative feelings, people feel stress and stress substances (cortisol and the like) secreted due to the stress have adverse influences on bodies. Therefore, in a case in which the negative bias value is high, an insurance fee can also be expensive. In a case in which the negative bias value is low, an insurance fee can also be cheap.
In addition, for the above-described insurance fee, cancer insurance, medical insurance, life insurance, social insurance, health insurance, or the like can be assumed. In addition, the system can also be applied to granting of a loan interest, income tax expenses, various coupons, or the like.
Next, a third embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to
In the past, it was considerably difficult to determine personality of a person before actual meeting in a marriage agency, a business interview, or the like. In particular, a private detective agency was also used to inquire the past life of a marriage partner. Accordingly, in the system, emotion values obtained by digitizing the personality of an evaluatee (a user X) specified in positive interactions, such as the number of times other persons say “thank you” to the evaluatee (the user X) until now or the number of times the evaluatee receive smiles around the evaluatee, are calculated to be used in the spouse searching system. Thus, it is possible to objectively determine whether third parties feel that the evaluatee is a good person. In particularly, if the personality can be provided as a searching condition for match in a marriage agency, convenience of the marriage agency is considerably improved.
Specifically, as illustrated in
The evaluation server 7 acquires the emotion value based on the positive interaction evaluation value of the specific user from the emotion server 3 on the basis of the object ID of the specific user, for example, in a response to a request from the spouse searching system server 8, evaluates the person, and replies to the spouse searching system server 8 with an evaluation result (for example, a radar chart indicating the evaluation).
The spouse searching system server 8 designates an object ID of a registered member and requests evaluation of a positive interaction emotion value of the member from the evaluation server 7. The spouse searching system server 8 opens the evaluation of the member to a service user, a user Y, so that the evaluation of the member can be used for match of a marriage partner (see
The overview of the configuration of the system according to the embodiment has been described above. Also, in the example illustrated in
Next, the configuration of the evaluation server 7 included in the system will be described with reference to
The controller 70 is configured with a microcomputer that includes a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and a nonvolatile memory and controls each configuration of the evaluation server 7. In addition, as illustrated in
The interaction acquisition unit 70a has a function of acquiring an emotion value of a positive interaction of a specific user from the emotion server 3 via the communication unit 71. More specifically, the interaction acquisition unit 70a acquires an emotion value based on a positive interaction from the emotion server 3 on the basis of an object ID designated by the spouse searching system server 8.
The score calculation unit 70b calculates an evaluation score on the basis of the emotion value of the positive interaction acquired by the interaction acquisition unit 70a. The evaluation score may be the number of times of each kind of positive interaction, may be an average value, or may be a point obtained by multiplying the number of times or the average value by a weighting coefficient in accordance with the kind of positive interaction.
The evaluation screen generation unit 70c generates an evaluation screen indicating an evaluation score of a target person on the basis of the score calculated by the score calculation unit 70b. A specific example of the evaluation screen will be described below with reference to
The notification unit 70d performs control such that the spouse searching system server 8 of a request source is notified of the evaluation screen generated by the evaluation screen generation unit 70c.
The communication unit 71 receives an emotion value of a positive interaction from the emotion server 3 via the network 5. In addition, the communication unit 71 transmits the generated evaluation screen to the spouse searching system server 8 under the control of the notification unit 70d.
The storage unit 72 stores a program used for the controller 70 to perform each process or parameters necessary to perform each process. In addition, the storage unit 72 may temporarily store the calculated evaluation score or the generated evaluation screen.
The configuration of the evaluation server 7 according to the embodiment has been described above. Also, the notification unit 70d in the control unit 70 of the evaluation server 7 may transmit the evaluation score calculated by the score calculation unit 70b to the spouse searching system server 8 in response to a request from the spouse searching system server 8. In this case, in the spouse searching system server 8, generation of an evaluation screen such as generation of a radar chart based on the evaluation score can be performed (that is, the function of the evaluation screen generation unit 70c is included in the spouse searching system server 8).
Next, an operation process according to the embodiment will be described with reference to
As illustrated in
Subsequently, in step S306, the score calculation unit 70b of the evaluation server 7 aggregates the number of times of each kind of positive interaction on the basis of the positive interaction emotion value. Examples of the kind of positive interaction include “hearing/saying thank you,” “receiving a smile/smiling,” “fellowship,” “having/receiving consultation,” “giving/receiving a gift”, and the like. The number of fellowship interactions (the number of fellowships such as get-together or parties) can be estimated on the basis of exchanges with friends in Social Network System (SNS) or an interaction such as captured images in which friends are shown together and which are posted in SNS. In addition, the number of consultation interactions may be counted on the basis of the number of replies of helpful interactions on problem discussion bulletin boards or the like on the Internet or the number. In addition, the number of gift interactions is not limited to the delivery interaction of physical gifts and may be counted on the basis of the number of times electronic goods or electronic points are awarded in games, SNS, shopping sites, or the like on networks or a pushed amount of buttons indicating kindness to partners.
Subsequently, in step S309, the score calculation unit 70b calculates an evaluation score of each kind of interaction on the basis of the aggregated number of time. For example, the score calculation unit 70b may calculate the evaluation score by multiplying the number of times by a coefficient (weight) of each kind of interaction.
Subsequently, in step S312, the evaluation screen generation unit 70c generates a graph such as a radar chart indicating the evaluation score of a target person as an evaluation screen on the basis of the evaluation score calculated by the score calculation unit 70b.
Then, in step S315, the notification unit 70d transmits the generated evaluation screen (for example, a radar chart) to the spouse searching system server 8.
The operation process according to the embodiment has been described specifically above. Thus, the side of the spouse searching system server 8 can generate a screen for members (for example, a screen including the evaluation screen and member profile information (a face image, a name, an age, and the like)) using the evaluation screen, and transmits the generated screen for members to a member terminal (for example, the information processing device 9). Here, an example of the member screen supplied from the spouse searching system server 8 will be described with reference to
As described above, the information processing system according to the embodiments of the present disclosure enables positive interactions between people and people or things to be generated as emotion values.
In addition, the emotion values of the positive interactions are opened to people other than people opening the emotion values or are allowed to be used for various services, so that smiles or words “thank you” are increased in daily life. Finally, happiness of the whole society can be increased.
