(Embodiment)
First, information processing executed by an information processing device according to an embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a diagram showing information processing according to an embodiment. Fig. 1 illustrates an operation example of an information processing system S including an information processing device 1 according to an embodiment. As shown in Fig. 1, the information processing system S according to an embodiment includes an information processing device 1, a plurality of user terminals 50, and a provider terminal 100.

As shown in FIG. 1, in the information processing system S according to the embodiment, a provider terminal 100 handled by a content provider provides the content to an information processing device 1 (step S1). Next, the information processing device 1 distributes the content to a user terminal 50 (step S2). In FIG. 1, an example of distributing news is shown as an example of content, but the content is not limited to news and may be any content that includes text, images, etc., such as posted articles.

Next, the user terminal 50 displays the distributed content on the screen and accepts a designation from the user to highlight a portion of the content (step S3). FIG. 1 shows an example in which a portion of the text included in the content, specifically, "Remote work... is possible," is designated. Note that in addition to text, the user can also designate an image (still image or video) included in the content as the target for highlighting.

Although FIG. 1 shows an example in which specification is made on a sentence-by-sentence basis, specification may also be made on a word-by-word or phrase-by-phrase basis, and specification may also be made at multiple locations within a single piece of content.

Then, the information processing device 1 highlights a portion of the specified content (step S4). While FIG. 1 shows an example in which a portion of the specified content is highlighted, the text may be displayed in bold, underlined, or framed. Furthermore, the information processing device 1 may further strengthen the highlighting (highlighted and in bold, etc.) when, for example, a cursor (which can be moved with a mouse, etc.) displayed on the screen moves to a portion of the content, or when a user selects a portion of the content.

The information processing device 1 then distributes the highlighted content to other user terminals 50 (step S5). The highlighted content may be distributed only to other users whose attribute information is similar to that of the user who specified the highlighting. The highlighted content may also be distributed only to other users who are interested in the content (who are presumed to be interested based on behavioral information, etc.).

Next, the information processing device 1 accepts the user's reaction to the highlighted portion of the content via the user terminal 50 (step S6). For example, the information processing device 1 accepts, as the user's reaction, a reaction of approval (evaluation) of the portion of the content (e.g., "Like"), a comment on the portion of the content, or the like. For example, the information processing device 1 accepts the user's reaction by displaying, near the highlighted portion of the content, rating buttons (agreement and disagreement buttons) for making an evaluation reaction, and a button for inputting a comment. The information processing device 1 may also display a rating button for accepting an evaluation (agreement and disagreement) on the input comment.

In addition, the information processing device 1 may display information about the user who specified the highlighting (such as attribute information and the number of users who specified the highlighting) together with the highlighted content.

The information processing device 1 then provides information based on the received user responses (step S7). For example, the information processing device 1 provides information on the number of users who pressed the rating button. The information processing device 1 may also provide a list of the comments entered, a summary of the comments, analysis results of the comments (comment trends, etc.), etc. The information processing device 1 may also provide information on the users who responded (attribute information, etc.).

The information processing device 1 may also provide a ranking according to the number of users who pressed a rating button indicating approval. Such rankings may be displayed on a timeline, for example, together with access information (e.g., URL) to the content.

The information processing device 1 may also highlight and provide comments that are highly rated (threshold value or more) for the input comment. The information processing device 1 may also provide the input comment to other services (e.g., SNS, etc.).

Then, the information processing device 1 sets rewards for the content provider and the user who specified the highlighting (specifier) (step S8), and provides rewards to the provider and the user who specified the highlighting (step S9).

For example, the information processing device 1 counts the number of users who specified highlighting for each piece of content, and sets a reward according to the number of users. The information processing device 1 also sets a reward according to the ratio of the number of users who specified highlighting to the number of users who viewed the content. For example, the information processing device 1 sets a higher reward the more users who specified highlighting, or the higher the above-mentioned ratio.

In this way, the information processing device 1 can appropriately set rewards for content providers by setting rewards for the content providers according to the highlighting status. Details of the method for setting rewards for content providers will be described later.

The information processing device 1 also sets a reward for the user who specified the highlighting. Specifically, the information processing device 1 sets a reward according to the reactions of other users to the highlighting, such as their ratings and comments. For example, the information processing device 1 sets a higher reward the more ratings and comments other users have.

In this way, the information processing device 1 can appropriately set a reward for a user who has specified highlighting by setting the reward for the user who has specified highlighting. Details of the method for setting a reward for a user who has specified highlighting will be described later.

Next, a configuration example of an information processing system S according to an embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 2. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of an information processing system S according to an embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, in the information processing system S according to an embodiment, an information processing device 1, a plurality of user terminals 50, and a provider terminal 100 are connected to a network N by wire or wirelessly. The network N is, for example, the Internet, a Wide Area Network (WAN), a Local Area Network (LAN), or the like.

The information processing device 1 is a server device that executes an information processing method. The information processing device 1 accepts a designation for highlighting a portion of the content delivered to a user. The information processing device 1 also highlights the designated portion of the content and accepts the user's reaction to the highlighted portion of the content. The information processing device 1 also provides information based on the accepted user reaction. The information processing device 1 also sets a reward for the content provider and the user who specified the highlighting, and provides the set reward.

The content may be distributed by the information processing device 1 or by an external distribution server.

In addition, the information processing device 1 is an information processing device that cooperates with each user's user terminal 50 and provides each user's user terminal 50 with API (Application Programming Interface) services for various applications (hereinafter, apps), etc., and various data, and is realized by a server device, a cloud system, etc.

The information processing device 1 may also be an information processing device that provides some kind of web service online to the user terminal 50 of each user. For example, the information processing device 1 may provide services such as Internet connection, search services, SNS (Social Networking Service), electronic commerce (EC), electronic payment, online games, online banking, online trading, accommodation and ticket reservations, video and music distribution, news, maps, route searches, route guidance, line information, operation information, and weather forecasts as web services. In practice, the information processing device 1 may cooperate with various servers that provide the above-mentioned web services, and may act as an intermediary for the web services or be responsible for processing the web services.

The user terminal 50 is a terminal device owned by a user. The user terminal 50 can be any type of terminal device, such as a smartphone, a desktop PC, a notebook PC, or a tablet PC. The user terminal 50 transmits various information to the information processing device 1 and receives information provided by the information processing device 1.

The provider terminal 100 is a terminal device owned by the content provider. The provider terminal 100 can be any type of terminal device, such as a smartphone, a desktop PC, a notebook PC, or a tablet PC. The provider terminal 100 transmits various information to the information processing device 1 and receives information provided by the information processing device 1.

Next, an example configuration of the information processing device 1 will be described with reference to FIG. 3.

Fig. 3 is a diagram showing an example configuration of an information processing device 1 according to an embodiment.

The control unit 3 has a distribution unit 31, a designation reception unit 32, a display control unit 33, a response reception unit 34, a provision unit 35, and a setting unit 36. The storage unit 4 stores user information 41 and highlighting information 42.

The communication unit 2 is realized, for example, by a network interface card (NIC). The communication unit 2 is connected to the network via a wired or wireless connection.

The control unit 3 is a controller, and is realized, for example, by a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or MPU (Micro Processing Unit) that executes various programs (corresponding to an example of an information processing program) stored in a storage device inside the information processing device 1 using a RAM or the like as a working area. The control unit 3 is also a controller, and may be realized, for example, by an integrated circuit such as an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), or a GPGPU (General Purpose Graphic Processing Unit).

The storage unit 4 is realized, for example, by a semiconductor memory element such as a random access memory (RAM) or a flash memory, or a storage device such as a hard disk or an optical disk.

User information 41 is information about a user. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of user information 41. As shown in FIG. 4, user information 41 includes items such as "user ID," "attribute information," and "emphasis information."

"User ID" is identification information that identifies a user. "Attribute information" is information about the attributes of a user, including psychographic attributes and demographic attributes. "Emphasis information" is information that indicates the emphasis points specified by the user, and is information that has been specified within the content as the target for emphasis display. "Emphasis information" is, for example, text, still images, videos, etc.

Highlighting information 42 is information related to the highlighted content. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of highlighting information 42. As shown in FIG. 5, highlighting information 42 includes items such as "designated ID," "content information," "highlighted portion information," and "reaction information."

"Designation ID" is identification information that identifies a portion of the content designated as the target for highlighting. "Content information" is information that indicates the entire content designated as the target for highlighting. "Highlighted portion information" is information that indicates the portion of the content designated as the target for highlighting. "Reaction information" is information that indicates the user's reaction to the highlighted portion of the content.

Next, the functions of the control unit 3 of the information processing device 1 (distribution unit 31, specification reception unit 32, display control unit 33, response reception unit 34, provision unit 35, and setting unit 36) will be described.

The distribution unit 31 distributes content to the user terminal 50. For example, the distribution unit 31 distributes content that is partially highlighted by the display control unit 33 described below. The distribution destination of the highlighted content is, for example, other users who have similar attribute information to the user who specified the highlighting. In addition, the distribution destination of the highlighted content is other users who are interested in the highlighted content.

The specification receiving unit 32 receives a specification for highlighting a part of the content distributed by the distribution unit 31. For example, the specification receiving unit 32 receives a specification for highlighting text or an image (still image or video) included in the content.

Note that highlighting can be specified for any range, such as sentences, words, or phrases. Also, highlighting can be specified for multiple locations in a single piece of content.

In addition, when the specification receiving unit 32 receives a specification within a range that does not make sense, it may check with the user whether there is an input error or may correct the specification range so that the meaning of the sentence is correct.

The display control unit 33 highlights a portion of the content specified by the specification receiving unit 32. For example, the display control unit 33 may highlight the portion of the specified content, display the text in bold, underline, or frame it. The display control unit 33 may also further strengthen the highlighting (highlighted and in bold, etc.) when, for example, a cursor (which can be moved with a mouse, etc.) displayed on the screen moves to a portion of the content or when a user selects a portion of the content.

The reaction receiving unit 34 receives a user's reaction to the part of the content highlighted by the display control unit 33. For example, the reaction receiving unit 34 receives, as a user's reaction, a reaction of approval (evaluation) of the part of the content (e.g., "Like"), a comment on the part of the content, etc.

For example, the response receiving unit 34 receives the user's response by displaying, near a portion of the highlighted content, rating buttons (for and against) for providing an evaluative response and buttons for inputting comments. These buttons may be displayed, for example, when a user selects a portion of the highlighted content or moves a cursor to such a portion of the content. The response receiving unit 34 may also display rating buttons for receiving ratings (for and against) for the input comment.

The reaction receiving unit 34 also receives, as a reaction from other users, actions of sharing the highlighted portion with other services. For example, the reaction receiving unit 34 receives, as a reaction from other users, actions of sharing such as copying the highlighted portion and pasting it into other services such as SNS (Social Networking Service), e-mail, or chat.

The providing unit 35 provides information based on the user reactions received by the reaction receiving unit 34. For example, the providing unit 35 provides information on the number of users who pressed the rating button. This makes it easy to know the number of other users who agree or disagree with a part of the highlighted content.

The providing unit 35 may also provide a list of the entered comments, a summary of the comments, analysis results of the comments (such as trends in the comments), etc. By providing such information about the comments, it is possible to easily understand the opinions of other users regarding the part of the highlighted content.

The providing unit 35 may also provide information (such as attribute information) about the users who responded. This makes it easy to understand what attributes the users who responded have.

The providing unit 35 may also provide information about the user who specified the highlighting (such as attribute information and the number of users who specified the highlighting) together with the highlighted content. This allows a user to whom the highlighted content has been delivered to easily grasp information about the user who specified the highlighting.

The providing unit 35 displays (provides) the various types of information described above, for example, when the user selects a part of the highlighted content or moves the cursor to that part of the content.

The providing unit 35 may also provide a ranking according to the number of users who pressed the rating button to indicate approval. Such rankings may be displayed, for example, on a timeline in a service such as news together with access information to the content (e.g., URL). This makes it easy to know which content has a large (or small) number of approvals or disapprovals from other users.

The providing unit 35 may also highlight and provide comments that have received high ratings (amount of approval is equal to or greater than a threshold) for the input comment. This makes it easy to understand the main opinions of other users regarding the highlighted portion of the content.

The providing unit 35 may also provide the input comment to other services (e.g., SNS, etc.). This allows the comment on the highlighted part of the content to be shared in other services.

In addition, when displaying thumbnails of content such as news, the providing unit 35 may display information about the highlighted portion together with the thumbnail. This point will be described with reference to FIG. 6.

Fig. 6 is a diagram showing an example of information provided by the providing unit 35. As shown in Fig. 6, when displaying a highlighted news article as a thumbnail, the providing unit 35 displays short content (speech bubble content in Fig. 6) extracted from a part or all of the highlighted part (highlighted in Fig. 6) alongside the thumbnail.

In addition, the providing unit 35 may display the short content not only alongside the thumbnail but also superimposed on the thumbnail. In addition, the providing unit 35 may extract and display only the short content corresponding to the highlighted display that has been highly rated (highly responded to) by users.

The providing unit 35 also provides the reward set by the setting unit 36, which will be described later, to the content provider or the user who specified the highlighting. The source of the reward can be, for example, advertising fees from advertisements provided in conjunction with the content.

The setting unit 36 sets rewards for the content provider and the user who specified the highlighting.

(Remuneration to content providers)
Specifically, the setting unit 36 sets a reward to the content provider according to the highlighting status accepted by the designation accepting unit 32. Specifically, the setting unit 36 counts the number of users who have designated highlighting for each piece of content (hereinafter, the number of designated users), and sets a reward according to the number of designated users. For example, the setting unit 36 sets a higher reward as the number of designated users increases. In this way, a higher reward is set for high-quality content with a large number of users who designate highlighting, that is, with many users paying attention to parts of the content.

The setting unit 36 also sets a reward according to the ratio of the number of designated users to the number of users who viewed the content (number of viewing users) (number of designated users/number of viewing users). For example, the setting unit 36 sets a higher reward as this ratio increases. This makes it possible to set a higher reward for high-quality content that is viewed by a large number of users who specify highlighting.

The setting unit 36 also sets a higher reward the greater the number of designated users and the above-mentioned ratio. This makes it possible to set a higher reward for high-quality content that is viewed by many users and has a high ratio of users who pay attention to parts of the content.

The setting unit 36 also sets a reward according to the reactions of other users received by the reaction receiving unit 34. For example, the setting unit 36 sets a reward according to the number of ratings or comments from other users. Specifically, the setting unit 36 sets a higher reward when there are a large number of ratings or comments from other users. This makes it possible to set a higher reward for content with a large number of ratings or comments.

The setting unit 36 may also set a reward according to the number of favorable comments among the comments of other users. For example, the setting unit 36 sets a higher reward as the number of favorable comments increases. This makes it possible to set a higher reward for high-quality content with many favorable comments. Note that favorable comments can be determined, for example, by the number of favorable words included in the comments.

(Remuneration to the person who specified the emphasis)
Specifically, the setting unit 36 sets a reward for the user who specified highlighting. For example, the setting unit 36 sets a reward according to the reactions of other users received by the reaction receiving unit 34. Specifically, the setting unit 36 sets a reward according to the number of ratings or comments of other users. Specifically, the setting unit 36 sets a high reward when the number of ratings or comments of other users is large. This makes it possible to set a high reward for a person who specified highlighting with a large number of ratings or comments.

The setting unit 36 also sets a reward according to the sharing actions of other users received by the response receiving unit 34. For example, the setting unit 36 sets a higher reward the more other users who have performed sharing actions. This makes it possible to set a higher reward for the person who specified the highlighting with a large number of shares.

In addition, when the content is viewed via another service in which the highlighted portion is shared, the setting unit 36 sets a reward to at least one of the person who specified the highlighting and the other user who performed the sharing action. This makes it possible to appropriately set rewards to users (the person who specified the highlighting and the other user who performed the sharing action) who contributed to acquiring users who viewed the content via another service.

Next, the procedure of the information processing executed by the information processing device 1 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 7. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the information processing executed by the information processing device 1 according to the embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 7, the control unit 3 distributes content to the user terminal 50 (step S101). Next, the control unit 3 accepts a designation to highlight a portion of the distributed content (step S102).

Next, the control unit 3 highlights a portion of the specified content (step S103) and receives the user's response to the highlighted portion of the content (step S104).

Next, the control unit 3 provides information based on the received user response (step S105).

Next, the control unit 3 sets rewards for the content provider and the user who specified the highlighting (specifier) (step S106).

The control unit 3 then provides the set reward to the provider and the designated person (step S107) and ends the process.
