Abstract

The "topic, time period, and perspective" of a discussion are set by requesting the knowledge needed by a user as article information, and a plurality of knowledgeable persons add comments for the generated topic while the perspective is restricted. The article information is saved as an archive multiple times within a limited time period. It is also possible to newly generate article information on the basis of past articles for which discussion has finished, and to resume a discussion. This makes it possible to provide a screen display method for a social archiving service (SAS) that allows an insight that encompasses "a variety of experts, time periods, and debating phases" to be efficiently and organically shared, and information that a user believes to be necessary to be obtained in a timely manner.

Description

ソーシャルアーカイビングサービスのための方法及びシステムMethod and system for social archiving services
　本発明は、ソーシャルネットワークサービスにおいて、ユーザの端末に情報を送信する方法及びシステムに関する。 The present invention relates to a method and system for transmitting information to a user's terminal in a social network service.
　インターネット技術の発達に伴い、数多くのソーシャルネットワークサービスが提供されている。ソーシャルネットワークサービスは、インターネットを介して人々が交流を図るためのプラットフォームとして提供されているものであるが、近年では、特定分野の情報交換の目的でソーシャルネットワークサービスを利用することも多く行われている。 Many social network services are being provided along with the development of Internet technology. Social network services are provided as a platform for people to interact through the Internet, but in recent years, social network services are often used for the purpose of exchanging information in specific fields. There is.
　中でも、産業・学術研究の分野において、研究や開発を促進する目的でソーシャルネットワークサービスを利用することに注目が集まっている。学術研究分野において、代表的なソーシャルネットワークサービスのプラットフォームが、Ｒｅｓｅａｒｃｈ　Ｇａｔｅ（登録商標）である。Ｒｅｓｅａｒｃｈ　Ｇａｔｅは、研究者向けのソーシャルネットワークサービスであり、同プラットフォーム上で、ユーザは、互いに執筆した論文を公開し、それにコメントを付したり、自由形式の質疑応答を行ったり、評価を行ったりすることが可能である。 Among them, in the field of industrial and academic research, the use of social network services for the purpose of promoting research and development is drawing attention. A representative social network service platform in the academic research field is Research Gate (registered trademark). Research Gate is a social network service for researchers. On the platform, users can publish articles written by each other, comment on them, give free-form questions and answers, and evaluate them. It is possible to
　一方、ニュース・報道の分野において、各取材元の提供するニュースやコラムなどを整理して提供することを目的とするソーシャルネットワークサービスも存在する。例えば、ＮＥＷＳＰＩＣＫＳ（登録商標）がその例である。ＮＥＷＳＰＩＣＫＳは、経済ニュースを中心に、取材元の提供するニュースを一括してユーザに配信し、それに対して、登録された有識者がコメントを付ける。ユーザは、ニュースソースだけでなく、有識者のコメントも参照することができるため、ニュースに対する理解を深めることができる。 On the other hand, in the field of news/reporting, there are also social network services for the purpose of organizing and providing news and columns provided by each interview source. For example, NEWSPICKS (registered trademark) is an example. NEWSPICKS distributes the news provided by the news gathering source to users all at once, centering on economic news, to which registered experts make comments. Since the user can refer to not only the news source but also the comments of the expert, it is possible to deepen the understanding of the news.
　研究の成果は主として論文、プレスリリース、特許、展示会等の形で発表される。しかし、同分野の専門家であっても分野や研究開発フェーズが異なる場合、それを洞察することは容易ではない。Ｒｅｓｅａｒｃｈ　Ｇａｔｅをはじめとした従来の学術研究分野におけるソーシャルネットワークサービスは、ＳＮＳ機能、論文共有機能、自由形式の質問機能、など様々な機能を含んでいるが、研究成果をベースにした「議題」の多面的な解釈や議論に軸を置いたものではなかった。研究成果は、同一分野の研究者であってもその内容を理解することは容易でなく、それ以外の、特にその研究成果を利用してイノベーションを起こそうとする企業の従業員等にとって、論文、プレスリリース、特許、展示会等の科学技術情報の意味のある解釈は非常に時間コストと不確定性の伴うものであり、情報の非双方性が非常に低く、扱いやすいものとはいえなかった。 Research results are announced mainly in the form of papers, press releases, patents, exhibitions, etc. However, it is not easy for even experts in the same field to gain insight when the field or R&D phase is different. Conventional social network services in academic research fields such as Research Gate include various functions such as SNS function, paper sharing function, free-form question function, etc. It did not focus on multi-faceted interpretation and discussion. It is not easy for researchers in the same field to understand the content of research results, and other than that, especially for employees of companies that are trying to innovate using the research results, Meaningful interpretations of scientific and technical information, such as press releases, patents, exhibitions, etc. are very time-consuming and uncertain, and the information's incompatibility is very low and not easy to handle. It was
　最前線の科学技術の解釈は世界の一流有識者であっても意見が割れる。それ故、１個人の与える洞察が絶対的に正解、という事象が起きにくい。故に、複数の有識者の洞察をパッケージで閲覧する事が大きな意味を持つ。しかし、現在世界では産業界・アカデミアの個別コミュニティーでは政治力学・人間関係力学・産業パワーバランス、などを背景にフラットにそのような洞察を共有する営利・非営利のプラットフォームやサービスは存在しない。 ▽ Even the world's leading experts can disagree on the interpretation of science and technology at the forefront. Therefore, it is unlikely that the insight given by one individual will be the correct answer. Therefore, it is important to browse the insights of multiple experts in a package. However, there are currently no for-profit or non-profit platforms or services that share such insights flatly in the world of individual industries and academia communities, with political dynamics, human relationship dynamics, industrial power balance, etc.
　このようなプラットフォームを産業・学術・コンサル・金融・など研究開発や投資判断として科学技術情報を必要とする全ての分野に応用すれば、その内容を一般にも理解可能なように提供するという目的に資するように思われる。 If such a platform is applied to all fields that require science and technology information for R&D and investment decisions such as industry, academics, consulting, finance, etc., the purpose is to provide the content so that it can be understood by the general public. Seems to help.
　このように、既存のサービスは、１～３次情報を統合した核心議題の理解を深めるサービス設計でなく、しかも様々な問題点を抱えたものであった。
　例えば、上記のとおり科学技術情報は専門家が見ても解釈が多様であり、正解がない場合が多い。そのため、調査コストが膨大であり、その洞察や知見は体系的にシェアされていない現状がある。一人の専門家にヒアリングを行ったり、一人の専門家がブログ等のウェブサービスを用いてコラムを書いたりするサービスは存在する。既存サービスは、多様な専門家がバイアスなく効率よく洞察を共有できるサービス設計にはなっていなかった。そのため、科学技術情報の効率的な利用を促進する汎用的なサービスの登場が望まれていた。 As described above, the existing service was not a service design that deepens the understanding of the core agenda that integrates the 1st to 3rd information, and also had various problems.
For example, as mentioned above, scientific and technological information is interpreted in various ways even by an expert, and there are often no correct answers. Therefore, the survey cost is enormous and the insight and knowledge are not shared systematically. There are services where one expert is interviewed and one expert writes a column using a web service such as a blog. Existing services were not designed to allow diverse experts to share insights efficiently and without bias. Therefore, the emergence of general-purpose services that promote efficient use of scientific and technological information has been desired.
　本発明者らは、ユーザまたは特定の権限者が必要とする知見を議題情報としてリクエストすることで、議論の「議題、時間、切り口」を設定し、生成された議題情報に対して有識者が切り口を限定しながらユーザが求めるコメントを付すことにより、その洞察を有機的に共有することができ、議論の途中経過が自動アーカイブされ、ユーザが必要と考える情報について、流れを見落とさずに適時に入手可能とする新たなソーシャルネットワークサービスを構想し、本発明に至ったものである。そのため、本発明の適用範囲は、学術研究分野に留まるものではなく、産業界、さらには科学技術情報を必要とするコンサルティング、金融関係者、またそれに準ずるセクターにも広く適用可能である。また、ユーザが必要とする知見についても、主に科学技術情報を対象とするものではあるが、その他の情報にも適用可能である。本発明は、ソーシャルネットワークサービスと電子アーカイブの利点を取り入れつつ動的に洞察シェアを行う「ソーシャルアーカイビングサービス(ｓｏｃｉａｌ　ａｒｃｈｉｖｉｎｇ　ｓｅｒｖｉｃｅ，ＳＡＳ)」という新しい着想に基づいたサービスを起案するものである。 The inventors set the “agenda, time, and cut edge” of the discussion by requesting the knowledge required by the user or a specific authority as the agenda information, and an expert person cuts the generated agenda information. You can share the insights organically by adding comments requested by the user while limiting the number, and the progress of the discussion is automatically archived, and the information that the user thinks necessary is obtained in a timely manner without overlooking the flow. The present invention is based on the idea of a new social network service that enables it. Therefore, the scope of application of the present invention is not limited to the academic research field, but can be widely applied to the industrial world as well as consulting, financial persons, and other sectors that require scientific and technical information. Further, the knowledge required by the user is mainly intended for science and technology information, but is applicable to other information. The present invention proposes a service based on a new concept of "social archiving service (SAS)" that dynamically shares insights while taking advantage of social network services and electronic archives.

＜動作の説明＞
　以下では、本発明に従ったシステムの動作を具体的に説明する。
　なお、本発明に従ったソーシャルネットワークサービスは、クローズド型のサービスであってもよく、オープン型のサービスであっても良い。すなわち、第１のユーザ及び第２のユーザは、ともに認証を要するものとしてもよく、いずれか一方、又は双方ともに認証を不要としてもよい。もっとも、記事に付されるコメントの質を担保するという観点からは、第１のユーザについて認証登録制とすることが望ましい。また、第１のユーザ及び第２のユーザは、さらに細分化することも可能である。例えば、第１のユーザについて、有識度その他の観点からランク分けを行ってもよいし、第２のユーザについて、課金者と無償利用者とに分類し、前者と後者とでアクセスできる記事に差を設けても良い。たとえば、一部の記事については有料として、課金者にのみアクセスを可能とすることが考えられる。また、各機能について、利用可能なユーザを分類することもできる。たとえば、特定のユーザにのみ記事情報を（必要であれば追加編集を加えた形で）出版物の形式で入手することを可能にしてもよいし、議論の終了した過去記事へのアクセス権限を特定のユーザに設定することもできる。 <Description of operation>
The operation of the system according to the present invention will be described in detail below.
The social network service according to the present invention may be a closed type service or an open type service. That is, both the first user and the second user may require authentication, or either one or both may not require authentication. However, from the viewpoint of ensuring the quality of the comments attached to the article, it is desirable that the first user has the authentication registration system. Further, the first user and the second user can be further subdivided. For example, the first user may be ranked according to the degree of knowledge or the like, or the second user may be classified into a payer and a free user, and the articles accessible by the former and the latter may be different. May be provided. For example, some articles may be charged and only the payer can access them. It is also possible to classify available users for each function. For example, it may be possible to make article information available in the form of a publication (with additional editing if necessary) to only specific users, or to give access to past articles that have been discussed. It can also be set for a specific user.
　図２に、第２のユーザが本発明のソーシャルネットワークサービスを利用する場合のサーバ１００、第１のユーザ及び第２のユーザ間の情報の授受を時系列に示す。
　まず、第２のユーザは、端末１０２からサーバ１００に対して、記事生成リクエストＳ２０１を送信し、サーバ１００の通信部１０４がこれを受信する。なお、本明細書において、「受信する」とは、サーバ１００又は端末１０１、１０２が受動的に情報を受領した場合だけでなく、端末が自ら能動的に情報を取得した場合を含む概念である。記事生成リクエストＳ２０１は、例えば記事のタイトル、概要、及び第２のユーザが第１のユーザに対してコメントを求める事項に関する情報を含んでいても良い。また、記事生成リクエストＳ２０１は、これらの記事の内容に関する情報に加えて、記事に対して第１のユーザがコメントを追加することのできる期間に関する情報を含んでいても良い。
　また、記事生成リクエストＳ２０１は、過去記事記憶部１１０に保存された過去記事に基づいて新たな記事を生成することを要求するものであっても良い。この場合、記事生成リクエストＳ２０１は、例えば過去記事記憶部１１０に保存された特定の過去記事に関する情報と、記事に対して第１のユーザがコメントを追加することのできる期間に関する情報を含むことができる。この態様は、すでに議論が終了した過去記事について、時間が経過したことから改めて議論の遡上に乗せることを求める場合や、別の観点、別の切り口から更に議論を望む場合に用いることが有用である。この場合、記事生成リクエストＳ２０１は、過去記事の内容をそのまま利用して新たな記事を生成することを求めるものであってもよいし、過去記事の内容を利用しつつ、一部の内容が修正された記事を生成することを求めるものであっても良い。
　さらに、記事生成リクエストＳ２０１は、記事生成投票Ｓ２１４によって代替することもできる。記事生成リクエストＳ２０１の代わりに記事生成投票Ｓ２１４が利用される場合、投票すべき記事情報の候補が予めサーバに準備される。記事情報の候補は、記事情報記憶部１０８に記憶されていてもよいし、これとは別の領域に記憶されていても良い。記事情報の候補は、ソーシャルネットワークサービスの管理者が入力部１０６を用いてサーバに入力することもできるし、第１のユーザや第２のユーザから適宜候補を募集することとしても良い。ソーシャルネットワークサービスに参加している第１及び／又は第２のユーザは、記事情報の候補から、特定の記事を選択して、記事生成投票Ｓ２１４をサーバ１００に送信することができる。ユーザが記事生成投票Ｓ２１４を送信することのできる期間に制限を設けても良い。また、記事生成投票Ｓ２１４をサーバに送信することのできる権限を、第１及び／又は第２のユーザの中から特定のユーザに対して付与することもできる。 FIG. 2 shows a time-series of information transfer between the server 100, the first user, and the second user when the second user uses the social network service of the present invention.
First, the second user transmits an article generation request S201 from the terminal 102 to the server 100, and the communication unit 104 of the server 100 receives this. In this specification, “to receive” is a concept including not only the case where the server 100 or the terminals 101 and 102 passively receive information but also the case where the terminal actively acquires information. .. The article generation request S201 may include, for example, the title of the article, a summary, and information regarding matters in which the second user requests the first user to comment. Further, the article generation request S201 may include, in addition to the information about the content of these articles, information about the period during which the first user can add a comment to the article.
Further, the article generation request S201 may be a request to generate a new article based on the past article stored in the past article storage unit 110. In this case, the article generation request S201 may include, for example, information regarding a specific past article stored in the past article storage unit 110 and information regarding a period during which the first user can add a comment to the article. it can. This mode is useful when a past article that has already been discussed needs to be put back on the discussion again because time has passed, or when further discussion is desired from another perspective or another perspective. Is. In this case, the article generation request S201 may request to generate a new article by directly using the content of the past article, or a part of the content may be modified while using the content of the past article. It is also possible to request that the generated article be generated.
Furthermore, the article generation request S201 can be replaced by an article generation vote S214. When the article generation vote S214 is used instead of the article generation request S201, candidates for article information to be voted are prepared in the server in advance. The article information candidates may be stored in the article information storage unit 108, or may be stored in a different area. The article information candidates may be input to the server by the administrator of the social network service using the input unit 106, or the candidates may be appropriately recruited from the first user or the second user. The first and/or second users participating in the social network service can select a specific article from the article information candidates and send the article generation vote S214 to the server 100. A limit may be set for the period during which the user can send the article generation vote S214. Further, the authority to send the article generation vote S214 to the server can be given to a specific user from the first and/or second users.
　サーバ１００の制御部１０５は、第２のユーザから記事生成リクエストＳ２０１を受信すると、これに応じて記事情報を生成し（Ｓ２０２）、記事情報は記事情報記憶部１０８に記憶される。記事情報は、記事生成リクエストＳ２０１に含まれる情報に基づいて自動的に生成してもよく、記事生成リクエストＳ２０１に含まれる情報を適宜取捨選択し、さらに入力部１０６により入力された情報に基づいて生成しても良い。例えば、記事生成リクエストＳ２０１中に含まれる見出しの情報に不適切な表現などが含まれていた場合、これを削除して記事情報を生成することが必要な場合があり、この場合には、後者のように情報を取捨選択し、追加することができる態様が望ましい。さらに、記事生成リクエストＳ２０１を送信した第２のユーザが当該記事に関連する分野の学術的知見に乏しい場合、まずソーシャルネットワークサービスの運営者が記事の内容を補完した上で記事を生成することが考えられる。また、サーバ１００の制御部１０５は、記事情報の生成（Ｓ２０２）に加えて、期間情報を生成し（Ｓ２０３）、合わせて記事情報記憶部１０８に記憶させる。期間情報は、生成した記事情報に対して第１のユーザがコメントを追加することのできる期間に関する情報である。期間情報は、記事生成リクエストＳ２０１に含まれる情報に基づいて生成してもよく、これとは別に、入力部１０６により入力された情報や、ユーザ情報記憶部１０７に記憶された情報に基づいて生成しても良い。例えば、当該記事にコメントを付すことが予定されている第１のユーザのスケジュールを確認した結果、第２のユーザが求めるコメント追加期間をそのまま期間情報とすることが望ましくない場合等が考えられる。記事生成リクエストＳ２０１に代えて、記事生成投票Ｓ２１４を用いる場合には、例えばサーバ１００は各ユーザから送信された記事生成投票Ｓ２１４を解析し、最も多く投票を獲得した記事情報の候補に基づき、記事情報を生成し（Ｓ２０２）、別途生成した期間情報とともに（Ｓ２０３）記事情報記憶部１０８に記憶させる。 Upon receiving the article generation request S201 from the second user, the control unit 105 of the server 100 generates article information in response to this (S202), and the article information is stored in the article information storage unit 108. The article information may be automatically generated based on the information included in the article generation request S201, the information included in the article generation request S201 is appropriately selected, and further based on the information input by the input unit 106. It may be generated. For example, when the information of the headline included in the article generation request S201 includes an inappropriate expression or the like, it may be necessary to delete this to generate article information. In this case, the latter It is desirable that information can be selected and added as described above. Furthermore, when the second user who has transmitted the article generation request S201 lacks academic knowledge in a field related to the article, the operator of the social network service may first supplement the content of the article and then generate the article. Conceivable. In addition to the generation of article information (S202), the control unit 105 of the server 100 also generates period information (S203) and stores it in the article information storage unit 108 as well. The period information is information regarding a period in which the first user can add a comment to the generated article information. The period information may be generated based on the information included in the article generation request S201, or separately based on the information input by the input unit 106 or the information stored in the user information storage unit 107. You may do it. For example, as a result of confirming the schedule of the first user who is scheduled to add a comment to the article, it may not be desirable to use the comment addition period required by the second user as the period information as it is. When the article generation vote S214 is used instead of the article generation request S201, for example, the server 100 analyzes the article generation vote S214 transmitted from each user, and based on the article information candidates that have the most votes, Information is generated (S202) and stored in the article information storage unit 108 together with the separately generated period information (S203).
　次に、サーバ１００の制御部１０５は、生成した記事情報及び期間情報を、第１のユーザ及び第２のユーザの端末に送信可能とする（Ｓ２０４）。なお、本明細書において、「送信可能とする」とは、「送信する」を含む概念である。第１のユーザ及び第２のユーザは、記事情報及び期間情報を適宜受信して端末１０１、１０２に表示することができる。制御部１０５は、記事情報及び期間情報を送信可能とすると同時に、第１のユーザに対し、当該記事情報に対してコメントすることを求めるコメントリクエストを送信可能とする（Ｓ２０５）。また、コメントリクエストは、記事情報及び期間情報を送信可能とするより前に送信可能としてもよいし、サーバ１００からコメントリクエストを送るのではなく、第１ユーザからコメントを希望する旨の通知を受信し、これに承認を与える態様とすることもできる。
　さらに、記事情報を生成する場合、当該記事情報に対してすべての第１のユーザがコメントを追加する権限を有するものとしてもよく、第１のユーザの中から更に限定した特定のユーザのみがコメント追加権限を取得する態様とすることもできる。特定のユーザのみにコメント追加権限を与えた場合、コメントリクエストは、当該特定のユーザのみに送信される。一般的に、第２のユーザがリクエストする記事は、特定の分野に関するものであることが多いため、当該記事の分野に詳しいユーザを第１のユーザの中から選別してコメント追加権限を付することが望ましい場合がある。第１のユーザの中から、記事にコメントを追加する権限を有するユーザをさらに特定する場合、予めユーザ情報記憶部１０７に記憶された第１のユーザに関する情報、特に学術的知見に関する背景情報を用いて、制御部１０５が自動的に第１のユーザから特定してもよく、適宜第１のユーザに関する情報を取捨選択したり、入力部１０６から入力された別個の情報を利用して特定しても良い。特に、第２のユーザによるコメント評価情報を利用して特定を行うことで、より優れたコメントを追加することのできる第１ユーザを特定することができることとなるため、好ましい。 Next, the control unit 105 of the server 100 enables transmission of the generated article information and period information to the terminals of the first user and the second user (S204). In addition, in this specification, "making transmission possible" is a concept including "transmitting". The first user and the second user can appropriately receive the article information and the period information and display them on the terminals 101 and 102. The control unit 105 can transmit the article information and the period information, and at the same time, can transmit a comment request for requesting a comment to the article information to the first user (S205). Further, the comment request may be transmitted before the article information and the period information can be transmitted. Instead of transmitting the comment request from the server 100, the comment request is received from the first user. However, it is also possible to adopt a mode of giving approval to this.
Further, when generating the article information, all the first users may have the authority to add a comment to the article information, and only the specific user who is further limited from the first users can comment. It is also possible to adopt a mode in which the additional authority is acquired. When the comment adding authority is given only to a specific user, the comment request is transmitted only to the specific user. Generally, since the article requested by the second user is often related to a specific field, a user who is familiar with the field of the article is selected from the first users and the comment addition authority is given. It may be desirable. When further identifying a user who has the authority to add a comment to an article from among the first users, information about the first user, which is stored in advance in the user information storage unit 107, particularly background information about academic knowledge is used. Then, the control unit 105 may automatically identify from the first user, and appropriately select information regarding the first user, or identify by using separate information input from the input unit 106. Is also good. In particular, it is preferable to specify the first user who can add a more excellent comment by specifying the comment using the comment evaluation information by the second user.
　コメントリクエストＳ２０５を受信した第１のユーザは、期間情報によって定められた期間、記事情報記憶部１０８に記憶された記事情報にコメントを追加することができる（Ｓ２０６）。コメントの追加は、第１のユーザ１人につき１つまでとしても良いし、複数のコメントを記入することができることとしても良い。追加したコメントは、記事情報とともに記事情報記憶部１０８に記憶される。また、一度追加したコメントは、期間情報によって定められた期間、適宜編集することができることとしても良い。特定の第１のユーザが追加したコメントに対し、さらにコメントを追加することが可能な態様としても良い。また、コメントは、属性情報を含むことができる。属性情報とは、そのコメントの内容を特定の観点で分類した情報を意味する。例えば、コメントについて「要約」、「科学」、「応用技術」、「その他」等の属性情報を予め記事情報記憶部１０８等に記憶させておき、第１のユーザが記事情報にコメントを追加する際、当該属性情報を選択することができるようにしても良い。 The first user who receives the comment request S205 can add a comment to the article information stored in the article information storage unit 108 for a period determined by the period information (S206). One comment may be added to each first user, or a plurality of comments may be entered. The added comment is stored in the article information storage unit 108 together with the article information. Further, the comment once added may be appropriately edited during the period determined by the period information. It may be possible to add a comment to the comment added by the specific first user. Further, the comment can include attribute information. The attribute information means information in which the contents of the comment are classified from a specific viewpoint. For example, regarding the comment, attribute information such as “summary”, “science”, “applied technology”, and “other” is stored in advance in the article information storage unit 108 or the like, and the first user adds a comment to the article information. At this time, the attribute information may be selected.
　第１のユーザの端末１０１及び第２のユーザの端末１０２に送信可能とされた記事情報は、制御部１０５により、一定間隔で自動的にアーカイブされる。アーカイブは、例えば、記事情報記憶部１０８からアーカイブ記憶部１０９に記事情報をコピーする事によって行われる。記事情報は、期間情報によって定められた期間、第１のユーザによってコメントが付され（Ｓ２０６）、第２のユーザが記事評価情報やコメント評価情報を追加すること（Ｓ２０７）などにより、内容がアップデートされる。サーバ１００は、ある間隔でこのアップデートされた記事情報をアーカイブ記憶部１０９に記憶させることにより、第１及び／又はユーザによるアーカイブ送信リクエスト（Ｓ２０８）に応じて、アーカイブされた記事情報を送信可能とすることができる（Ｓ２０９）。アーカイブ記憶部１０９への記事情報のコピーは、期間情報によって定められた期間中継続されてもよい。アーカイブのタイミングは、一定間隔であってもよく、記事情報の内容のアップデートがあるたびに逐次に行っても良いが、期間情報によって定められた期間に少なくとも１回アーカイブが実行されるためには、期間情報に対応する期間よりも短い間隔で行う必要がある。 Article information that can be transmitted to the first user terminal 101 and the second user terminal 102 is automatically archived at regular intervals by the control unit 105. Archiving is performed, for example, by copying article information from the article information storage unit 108 to the archive storage unit 109. The content of the article information is updated by the first user adding a comment (S206) for a period determined by the period information, and the second user adding article evaluation information or comment evaluation information (S207). To be done. By storing the updated article information in the archive storage unit 109 at a certain interval, the server 100 can transmit the archived article information in response to the archive transmission request (S208) by the first and/or user. It can be done (S209). Copying of the article information to the archive storage unit 109 may be continued during the period determined by the period information. The archiving timing may be a fixed interval, or may be performed sequentially each time the content of the article information is updated, but in order for the archiving to be performed at least once within the period determined by the period information. , It is necessary to perform at intervals shorter than the period corresponding to the period information.
　サーバ１００の通信部１０４がユーザからアーカイブ送信リクエスト（Ｓ２０８）を受信すると、制御部１０５は、アーカイブ記憶部１０９から、対応する記事情報のアーカイブをユーザに対して送信する（Ｓ２０９）。これにより、ユーザは、記事情報において議論が進展する様子を任意の時点で確認することができるだけでなく、過去の議論の状況を振り返ることが可能である。図示していないが、アーカイブ送信リクエストＳ２０８は、第１のユーザであるか、第２のユーザであるかを問わず、アーカイブの取得権限を有するユーザを設定し、当該ユーザにのみリクエストの送信を可能としてもよい。これにより、アーカイブ取得機能をオプションとして設定し、課金対象とすることができるため、ソーシャルネットワークサービスの運営に資する。また、アーカイブ記憶部１０９に記憶されたアーカイブだけでなく、記事情報記憶部１０８に記憶された記事情報や期間情報についても、ユーザからのリクエストによりこれをアーカイブと適宜組み合わせて送信可能としてもよい。これにより、ユーザは、現在進行中の議論について、最新の情報も加味して理解することが可能となる。 When the communication unit 104 of the server 100 receives the archive transmission request (S208) from the user, the control unit 105 transmits the archive of the corresponding article information from the archive storage unit 109 to the user (S209). With this, the user can not only check how the discussion progresses in the article information at any time, but also can look back on the situation of the past discussion. Although not shown, the archive transmission request S208 sets a user who has the acquisition authority of the archive regardless of whether it is the first user or the second user, and transmits the request only to the user. It may be possible. As a result, the archive acquisition function can be set as an option and billed, which contributes to the operation of the social network service. Further, not only the archive stored in the archive storage unit 109 but also the article information and the period information stored in the article information storage unit 108 may be appropriately combined with the archive and can be transmitted at the request of the user. As a result, the user can understand the discussion currently in progress by adding the latest information.
　期間情報によって定められたコメント追加期間が終了し、コメントを追加することができなくなった記事情報は、過去記事として過去記事記憶部１１０に保存され、管理される。ユーザが過去記事記憶部１１０に記憶された過去記事を参照しようとする場合、端末１０１、１０２から、サーバ１００に対し、過去記事送信リクエストＳ２１０を送信する。過去記事送信リクエストＳ２１０には、送信を希望する過去記事を特定するための情報を含むことができる。サーバ１００は、過去記事送信リクエストＳ２１０を受信すると、過去記事記憶部１１０に記憶された過去記事の中から、対応する過去記事を送信可能とする（Ｓ２１１）。
　また、過去記事送信リクエストＳ２１０を、アーカイブ送信リクエストＳ２０８と組み合わせて利用することにより、ユーザに対し、すでに議論が終了した過去記事と、現在議論が進行している記事情報やそのアーカイブとを組み合わせて送信することが可能である。 The article information for which a comment cannot be added after the comment addition period defined by the period information has expired is stored and managed as a past article in the past article storage unit 110. When the user wants to refer to the past article stored in the past article storage unit 110, the terminals 101 and 102 transmit a past article transmission request S210 to the server 100. The past article transmission request S210 can include information for specifying a past article desired to be transmitted. Upon receiving the past article transmission request S210, the server 100 makes it possible to transmit the corresponding past article from the past articles stored in the past article storage unit 110 (S211).
Further, by using the past article transmission request S210 in combination with the archive transmission request S208, the past article that has already been discussed with the user and the article information currently under discussion and its archive can be combined with the user. It is possible to send.
　ユーザが記事情報を印刷に適した形式で表示することを望む場合、端末１０１、１０２から、サーバ１００に対し、出版物リクエストＳ２１２を送信する。出版物リクエストＳ２１２による出版物となる対象は、記事情報、過去記事、アーカイブのすべてを含むことが可能である。つまり、ユーザは、議論が終了していない現在進行中の記事情報に対しても、すでに議論が終了した過去記事に対しても、さらには記事情報のアーカイブに対しても出版物リクエスト２１２を行うことができる。図２では、記事生成リクエストＳ２０１を送信した第２のユーザが出版物リクエストＳ２１２を送信することのできる態様を図示したが、これに限られることなく、出版物リクエストＳ２１２を利用することのできるユーザを、第１及び／又は第２のユーザの全てとすることも可能であるし、権限を有するユーザを別途設定することも可能である。サーバ１００は、出版物リクエストＳ２１２を受信すると、対応する記事情報、過去記事及び／又はアーカイブを出版物としてユーザに送信可能とする。本明細書において、「出版物」とは、記事情報、アーカイブ、過去記事等が、ソーシャルネットワークサービスのユーザインターフェイスを介してユーザの端末１０１、１０２に表示される場合の表示形式とは異なるものであることを意味する。出版物は、好ましくはＰＤＦ等の印刷に適した形式であるが、これに限定されるものではない。本発明の「出版物」は、このように、記事情報、アーカイブ、過去記事等を適宜組み合わせて表現されるソーシャルネットワークサービス上の概念であり、従来新聞社や出版社が行ってきた出版の概念とは全く異なるものであるし、化学ジャーナルのＰｅｅｒ　Ｒｅｖｉｅｗ　Ｐｒｏｃｅｓｓとも異なる。いわば「Ｓｏｃｉａｌ　（Ｄｙｎａｍｉｃ）　Ａｒｃｈｉｖｉｎｇ　Ｓｅｒｖｉｃｅ，ＳＡＳ」とでも呼ぶべき、一つの議題についての多様な議論を時間ごとに動的に把握するための新たな擬似出版概念である。 When the user desires to display the article information in a format suitable for printing, the terminals 101 and 102 send a publication request S212 to the server 100. The publication target according to the publication request S212 can include all of article information, past articles, and archives. That is, the user makes a publication request 212 for article information that is currently in progress and has not been discussed, past articles that have already been discussed, and archives of article information. be able to. Although FIG. 2 illustrates a mode in which the second user who has transmitted the article generation request S201 can transmit the publication request S212, the present invention is not limited to this, and a user who can use the publication request S212. Can be all of the first and/or second users, or it is possible to separately set authorized users. Upon receiving the publication request S212, the server 100 enables the corresponding article information, past articles, and/or archive to be transmitted to the user as a publication. In this specification, the term “publication” is different from the display format when article information, archives, past articles, etc. are displayed on the user's terminals 101, 102 via the user interface of the social network service. Means there is. The publication is preferably in a format suitable for printing, such as PDF, but is not limited thereto. The "publication" of the present invention is a concept on a social network service that is expressed by appropriately combining article information, archives, past articles, etc. in this way, and the concept of publishing conventionally performed by newspaper publishers and publishers. Is completely different from, and is also different from Peer Review Process of the chemical journal. It is a new pseudo-publishing concept for dynamically grasping various discussions about one agenda, which should be called "Social (Dynamic) Archiving Service, SAS", so to speak.
　次に、端末に表示された記事情報３００及び期間情報３０８の例を図３に示す。記事情報３００は、記事のタイトル３０３、ステータス３０１、概要３０９、第１のユーザに対してコメントを求める事項に関する情報３１０、ブックマーク３１４、ソーシャルリンク３１５、バージョン情報３１６を含んでおり、さらに第１のユーザによる１つ又は複数のコメント３１１、引用文献に対するリンク３１２を含んでいても良い。また、端末に記事情報を表示する際、当該記事情報の公開をリクエストした第２のユーザの識別情報３０２、記事の分類情報３０４、記事及びコメントにおいて引用されている文献件数３０５、コメント件数３０６、第２のユーザによる記事評価情報３０７及びコメント評価情報３１３等を表示することができる。これらの情報は、記事情報に関連付けられて記事情報記憶部１０８に記憶されている。
　なお、記事情報３００はこのように極めて多くの情報を含むものであるため、ユーザに対して各記事ごとに記事情報３００を表示すると、記事情報の一覧性が悪化する可能性がある。そのため、ソーシャルネットワークサービスのユーザインターフェイスとしては、トップページに記事情報３００の情報全てを表示させるのではなく、記事情報の概要（例えばタイトル３０３、ステータス３０１及び期間情報３０８のみ）を表示させ、タイトル３０３をタッチ又はクリックした場合に、より詳細な情報である記事情報３００に遷移するように構成しても良い。 Next, FIG. 3 shows an example of the article information 300 and the period information 308 displayed on the terminal. The article information 300 includes an article title 303, a status 301, an overview 309, information 310 regarding matters for which a comment is requested from the first user, a bookmark 314, a social link 315, and version information 316. It may include one or more comments 311 by the user, a link 312 to the cited document. When displaying the article information on the terminal, the identification information 302 of the second user who requests the publication of the article information, the classification information 304 of the article, the number of documents 305 cited in the article and the comment, the number of comments 306, The article evaluation information 307 and the comment evaluation information 313 by the second user can be displayed. These pieces of information are stored in the article information storage unit 108 in association with the article information.
Since the article information 300 includes such an extremely large amount of information, displaying the article information 300 for each article to the user may deteriorate the listability of the article information. Therefore, as the user interface of the social network service, not the entire information of the article information 300 is displayed on the top page, but an overview of the article information (for example, only the title 303, the status 301 and the period information 308) is displayed, and the title 303 is displayed. When is touched or clicked, it may be configured to transit to the more detailed article information 300.
　ステータス３０１は、記事情報が現在第１のユーザによってコメント追加可能な状態か否かを表示する。例えば、期間情報によって定められたコメント追加可能期間に記事情報を表示した場合、ステータス３０１には「Ｌｉｖｅ」（またはそれに準ずる表現）と表示される。一方、コメント追加可能期間終了後に記事情報を表示した場合、ステータス３０１には「Ｃｏｍｐｌｅｔｅｄ」（またはそれに準ずる表現）と表示される。 The status 301 indicates whether the article information is currently in a state where a comment can be added by the first user. For example, when the article information is displayed during the comment-addable period defined by the period information, “Live” (or an expression equivalent thereto) is displayed in the status 301. On the other hand, when the article information is displayed after the end of the comment-addable period, the status 301 displays “Completed” (or a similar expression).
　識別情報３０２は、記事生成リクエストＳ２０１を送信した第２のユーザの情報であり、第２のユーザの氏名やペンネームを含んでいてもよく、その他の情報を含んでいても良い。例えば、第２のユーザのペンネームとして「ＡＡＡ」がユーザ情報記憶部１０７に記憶されている場合、識別情報３０２には、「ＡＡＡ＠第２ユーザ」などと表示される。また、図示していないが、表示された第２のユーザがリクエストしたことにより生成した記事情報が他にも存在する場合、識別情報３０２とあわせて、当該他の記事情報のリンクを表示させることとすることもできる。 The identification information 302 is information of the second user who has transmitted the article generation request S201, and may include the name and pen name of the second user, or may include other information. For example, when “AAA” is stored in the user information storage unit 107 as the second user's pen name, “AAA@second user” or the like is displayed in the identification information 302. Further, although not shown, if there is other article information generated by the displayed second user requesting, the link of the other article information is displayed together with the identification information 302. Can also be
　記事のタイトル３０３は、ユーザが記事を一覧表示した場合に表示されることとなる領域であることから、その記事の内容を端的に表すものであることが望ましい。記事のタイトル３０３は、記事情報の生成（Ｓ２０２）の際に生成される。記事のタイトル３０３は、第２のユーザの記事生成リクエストＳ２０１に含まれる記事のタイトルをそのまま利用することもできるし、入力部１０６によって入力された情報に基づいて生成することも可能である。さらに、記事生成リクエストＳ２０１に含まれている情報を利用し、アルゴリズムなどを用いて制御部１０５が記事のタイトル３０３を自動生成することもできる。 Since the article title 303 is an area that is displayed when the user displays a list of articles, it is desirable to briefly describe the content of the article. The article title 303 is generated when the article information is generated (S202). As the article title 303, the article title included in the article generation request S201 of the second user can be used as it is, or can be generated based on the information input by the input unit 106. Furthermore, the control unit 105 can automatically generate the article title 303 by using an algorithm or the like by using the information included in the article generation request S201.
　分類情報３０４は、記事情報を、関連する分野ごとに分類した結果をタグ付けしたものである。記事が分野ごとに記事にタグ付けされていることにより、ユーザは、自らに関心の高い記事をソーシャルネットワークサービス上で検索することが容易となる。タグ付けは、記事情報に含まれる内容に基づき、制御部１０５が自動的に判別して行うことが可能である。図示していないが、サーバ１００は、予め学術分野を整理したタグの一覧を記憶するタグ記憶部を有していてもよく、制御部１０５は、タグ記憶部に記憶されたタグの一覧から、適切なタグを選択して記事情報と関連付け、記事情報記憶部１０８に記憶させる。もっとも、すべての記事について予め適切なタグが準備されているとは限らないことから、入力部１０６により新たなタグを入力し、タグ記憶部に記憶させることも可能である。 The classification information 304 is a tag obtained by classifying the article information for each related field. The fact that articles are tagged by category makes it easier for users to search for articles of high interest to them on social network services. The tagging can be automatically performed by the control unit 105 based on the content included in the article information. Although not shown, the server 100 may have a tag storage unit that stores a list of tags in which academic fields are organized in advance, and the control unit 105 may change the tag list from the list of tags stored in the tag storage unit. An appropriate tag is selected, associated with the article information, and stored in the article information storage unit 108. However, since appropriate tags are not necessarily prepared in advance for all articles, a new tag can be input by the input unit 106 and stored in the tag storage unit.
　文献件数３０５は、記事情報及び記事に付されたコメント中に引用されている文献の件数である。例えば科学技術情報については、議論は適切な引用文献によって裏付けられていることが必要であり、記事情報に文献件数３０５を表示することにより、ユーザは、より客観的で正確な議論がなされている記事情報を選別することが可能となる。 The number of documents 305 is the number of documents cited in the article information and comments attached to the article. For scientific and technological information, for example, the discussion needs to be supported by an appropriate cited document, and by displaying the number of documents 305 in the article information, the user can make a more objective and accurate discussion. It becomes possible to select article information.
　コメント件数３０６は、記事情報に対して第１のユーザにより追加されているコメントの件数である。コメントが多く追加されている記事情報ほど、活発な議論が行われていることが予想されるため、コメント件数３０６の表示により、ユーザは、深い議論がなされている記事情報を選別することが可能となる。 The number of comments 306 is the number of comments added to the article information by the first user. Since it is expected that more active discussions are carried out as the article information with more comments added, the display of the comment count 306 allows the user to select the article information having deep discussions. Becomes
　記事評価情報３０７は、記事情報に対して、記事生成リクエストＳ２０１を送信した第２ユーザ以外の第２ユーザが与えた評価に関する情報である（図２には図示していない。）。記事情報に取り上げられたトピックが多くのユーザの関心を引くものである場合、第２のユーザが当該記事情報を評価することで、記事情報が注目に値するものであることが他のユーザに容易に理解できる。また、第１のユーザにとっても、関心の高い記事情報において的確なコメントを付すことにより、第２のユーザから与えられる自らの評価を高め、ソーシャルネットワークサービス内でより多くのコメントを依頼される立場となることが期待できる。ユーザが記事評価情報３０７をタッチ又はクリックすることにより、記事情報に対して評価を与える態様とすることができる。ユーザが記事評価情報３０７をタッチ又はクリックすると、例えば記事評価情報３０７が明滅するとともに、記載された評価数が一つ増加し、ユーザは、記事情報を自らが評価したことを認識することができる。 The article evaluation information 307 is information related to the evaluation given by a second user other than the second user who transmitted the article generation request S201 to the article information (not shown in FIG. 2). If the topic covered in the article information is of interest to many users, it is easy for other users to consider the article information to be noteworthy by allowing the second user to rate the article information. Can understand. In addition, even for the first user, by giving an accurate comment in the article information that is of high interest, the self-esteem given by the second user is enhanced, and more comments are requested in the social network service. Can be expected. When the user touches or clicks the article evaluation information 307, it is possible to adopt a mode in which the article information is evaluated. When the user touches or clicks the article evaluation information 307, for example, the article evaluation information 307 blinks and the number of evaluations written increases by one, and the user can recognize that the article information has been evaluated by the user. ..
　期間情報３０８は、第１のユーザが記事情報にコメントを追加できる期間に関する情報である。第２のユーザは、記事生成リクエストＳ２０１を送信するにあたり、コメントを求める期限を入力する。第２のユーザは、ソーシャルネットワークサービスで得た知見を利用して研究開発を実施しようとする利用者であることから、自らの事業計画との関係で、特定の期限までにコメントを得る必要があることが想定される。また、期間情報３０８を第１のユーザに知らせるだけでなく、記事情報に表示することで、ソーシャルネットワークサービスに参加するすべてのユーザが、各記事情報のコメント追加可能期限を知ることができるため、サービス上で議論が繰り広げられている記事情報をオンタイムで直感的に認識することが可能となり、より白熱した議論が期待できる。さらに、期間情報に基づいて記事をソート可能とすることにより、ユーザは活発な議論が繰り広げられている記事情報を優先的に表示することが可能となり、ソーシャルネットワークサービスの活性化につながる。
　期間情報３０８は、例えば、図３に記したようなインジケータにより表示することが好ましい。さらに、コメント追加期限が迫った場合、インジケータの色を適宜変更するなどして、ユーザに期限が迫っていることを直感的に示すことができる態様とすることがより好ましい。 The period information 308 is information regarding the period during which the first user can add a comment to the article information. When transmitting the article generation request S201, the second user inputs a deadline for requesting a comment. Since the second user is a user who intends to carry out research and development by utilizing the knowledge gained from the social network service, it is necessary to obtain a comment by a specific deadline in relation to his/her business plan. It is assumed that there is. Further, not only the period information 308 is notified to the first user but also displayed in the article information, so that all the users who participate in the social network service can know the comment addition deadline of each article information. It is possible to intuitively recognize on-time article information that is being debated on the service, and more heated discussion can be expected. Further, by making it possible to sort the articles based on the period information, the user can preferentially display the article information in which active discussions are being carried out, leading to the activation of the social network service.
The period information 308 is preferably displayed by an indicator as shown in FIG. 3, for example. Furthermore, when the comment addition deadline is approaching, it is more preferable to change the color of the indicator as appropriate so that the user can intuitively indicate that the deadline is approaching.
　概要３０９は、記事情報の内容を示すアブストラクト情報である。科学技術情報の議論は、学術的背景を根拠とした難解な議論にわたることが珍しくなく、そのため、一般にも容易に理解できるようにアブストラクトを示すことが非常に有用である。概要３０９は、記事生成リクエストＳ２０１に含まれている概要をコピーしてもよく、入力部１０６から入力された情報を利用して生成しても良い。また、記事生成リクエストＳ２０１に含まれている情報に基づき、アルゴリズムなどを用いて制御部１０５により自動的に生成することもできる。 Outline 309 is abstract information indicating the content of article information. It is not uncommon for scientific and technical information discussions to be esoteric discussions based on academic backgrounds, so it is very useful to present abstracts so that they can be easily understood by the general public. The summary 309 may be a copy of the summary included in the article generation request S201, or may be generated by using the information input from the input unit 106. Further, based on the information included in the article generation request S201, it can be automatically generated by the control unit 105 using an algorithm or the like.
　コメントを求める事項に関する情報（以下「コメント要望事項」という。）３１０は、第２のユーザが、当該記事において第１のユーザに対して希望するコメントの内容に関する情報である。記事情報に対して第１のユーザがコメントを追加する際には、コメント要望事項３１０を参照する。この情報が存在することにより、第１のユーザは、記事のタイトル３０３及び概要３０９のみが存在する場合と比べて、記事をリクエストした第２のユーザが欲している情報を正確に理解することが可能となり、コメントの品質が向上する。 Information regarding matters for which a comment is requested (hereinafter referred to as “comment request matters”) 310 is information regarding the content of a comment desired by the second user for the first user in the article. When the first user adds a comment to the article information, the comment request item 310 is referred to. The presence of this information allows the first user to more accurately understand the information that the second user requesting the article wants, as compared to the case where only the article title 303 and summary 309 are present. It is possible and the quality of comments is improved.
　記事情報は、１つ又は複数のコメント３１１を含んでいても良い。コメント３１１は、第１のユーザが記事情報に対して追加したコメントである。例えば、第１のユーザのペンネームとして「ＢＢＢ」がユーザ情報記憶部１０７に記憶されている場合、第１のユーザが追加したコメントともに、「ＢＢＢ＠第１ユーザ」などと表示することが可能である。また、図示していないが、コメント３１１は属性情報ごとに整理されて表示することが可能である。例えば、属性情報ごとにタブを設け、各タブには、該当する属性情報を有するコメント３１１のみを表示することができる。この態様は、一つの記事情報に数多くのコメント３１１が付されている場合に、ユーザの視認性を向上させる方法として有用である。 Article information may include one or more comments 311. The comment 311 is a comment added to the article information by the first user. For example, when “BBB” is stored in the user information storage unit 107 as the first user's pen name, it is possible to display “BBB@first user” together with the comment added by the first user. is there. Although not shown, the comments 311 can be arranged and displayed for each attribute information. For example, a tab can be provided for each attribute information, and only the comment 311 having the corresponding attribute information can be displayed on each tab. This mode is useful as a method of improving the visibility of the user when many comments 311 are added to one article information.
　リンク３１２は、引用文献等へのリンク情報である。記事情報は、概要３０９、コメント要望事項３１０、コメント３１１等に適宜リンク３１２を含むことが可能である。また、リンク３１２は、コメント等の内部に含まれるのではなく、コメント３１１と同様に、記事情報に対して独立にリンク情報として追加されても良い。リンク３１２は、ソーシャルネットワークサービス内の別の記事情報又はコメントへのリンク情報であってもよく、ソーシャルネットワークサービス外の別のウェブサイト等へのリンク情報であっても良い。記事情報３００が、別の記事情報へのリンク３１２を含んでいる場合には、記事情報３００がアーカイブされる際に、リンク先の別の記事情報も同時にアーカイブすることができる。これにより、アーカイブを取得したユーザは、取得したアーカイブの記事情報３００からリンクされた別の記事情報についても、アーカイブされた時点での内容を把握することができる。 The link 312 is link information to a cited document or the like. The article information can include links 312 in the outline 309, the comment request items 310, the comments 311 and the like as appropriate. Further, the link 312 may be added as link information independently of the article information, like the comment 311 instead of being included inside the comment or the like. The link 312 may be link information to another article information or comment in the social network service, or may be link information to another website or the like outside the social network service. When the article information 300 includes a link 312 to another article information, when the article information 300 is archived, another linked article information can be archived at the same time. As a result, the user who has acquired the archive can grasp the contents at the time of archiving also other article information linked from the acquired article information 300 of the archive.
　コメント評価情報３１３は、記事情報３００に対して第１のユーザが追加したコメントに対する、第２のユーザによる評価に関する情報である（図２のコメント評価（Ｓ２０７）に関連する。）。ユーザがコメント評価情報３１３をタッチ又はクリックすることにより、コメントに対して評価を与える態様とすることができる。ユーザがコメント評価情報３１３をタッチ又はクリックすると、例えば記事評価情報３１３が明滅するとともに、記載された評価数が一つ増加し、ユーザは、記事情報を自らが評価したことを認識することができる。この態様では、コメントの評価は、コメント評価情報３１３に表示される評価数で表される。後述するように、コメント評価情報３１３は、第２のユーザが記事情報を表示する際のコメントの表示順序の決定や、第１のユーザに対してサービス事業者が支払う対価の額の算定に利用可能である。 The comment evaluation information 313 is information on the evaluation by the second user on the comment added by the first user to the article information 300 (related to the comment evaluation (S207) in FIG. 2). When the user touches or clicks the comment evaluation information 313, the comment can be evaluated. When the user touches or clicks the comment evaluation information 313, for example, the article evaluation information 313 blinks and the number of evaluations written increases by one, and the user can recognize that the article information has been evaluated by the user. .. In this aspect, the comment evaluation is represented by the number of evaluations displayed in the comment evaluation information 313. As will be described later, the comment evaluation information 313 is used to determine the display order of the comments when the second user displays the article information and to calculate the amount of consideration paid by the service provider to the first user. It is possible.
　ブックマーク３１４は、記事情報に簡易な識別タグを付する役割を果たす。ユーザは、興味のある議論が行われている記事情報を見出した場合、端末の画面上でブックマーク３１４をタッチ又はクリックする。ブックマーク３１４は、ユーザのアクションにより、色が反転し、これにより当該記事情報に識別タグが付与される。ユーザは、ソーシャルネットワークサービスのインターフェイスを通じて、自らがブックマークを付した記事情報のみを一覧にして表示することが可能である。また、ブックマーク３１４の内容をさらに分類して、記事情報の識別性を向上させることも可能である。例えば、重要度の観点から、ブックマークを色分けし、赤、黄、緑、青の順に重要度を振り分けた上で、ユーザがブックマークをタッチ又はクリックするごとに色が赤、黄、緑、青の順に反転する仕様とすることにより、ユーザは記事情報を重要度別に簡易に整理することが可能となる。 The bookmark 314 serves to attach a simple identification tag to article information. The user touches or clicks the bookmark 314 on the screen of the terminal when he or she finds article information in which an interesting discussion is held. The color of the bookmark 314 is inverted by the action of the user, and the identification tag is added to the article information. Through the interface of the social network service, the user can display only the article information bookmarked by himself as a list. It is also possible to further classify the contents of the bookmark 314 to improve the distinguishability of article information. For example, from the viewpoint of importance, bookmarks are color-coded and the importance is sorted in the order of red, yellow, green, and blue, and then each time the user touches or clicks the bookmark, the color is red, yellow, green, or blue. By adopting the specification of reversing in order, the user can easily organize the article information by importance.
　ソーシャルリンク３１５は、記事情報を他のソーシャルネットワークサービスに投稿するためのリンクである。ユーザは、記事情報を表示した上で、その記事情報のソーシャルリンク３１５をタッチ又はクリックすることにより、記事情報を対応する他のソーシャルネットワークサービスに投稿することができる。 The social link 315 is a link for posting article information to other social network services. The user can post the article information to another corresponding social network service by touching or clicking the social link 315 of the article information after displaying the article information.
　バージョン情報３１６は、記事情報のバージョンを表示する。記事情報が、記事生成リクエストＳ２０１又は記事生成投票Ｓ２１４に基づき、新規に生成されたものであった場合、例えば、バージョンは「ｖ１」と表示される。これに対し、記事情報が、過去記事の内容を利用した記事生成リクエストＳ２０１に基づいて作成されたものであった場合、当該記事情報は、以前に過去記事においてなされた議論と同様の切り口を含むものとなるため、バージョン情報３１６は、「ｖ２」と表示される。さらに、記事情報が、バージョン情報として「ｖ２」との情報を含む過去記事に基づいて生成されたものであった場合には、当該記事のバージョン情報３１６は「ｖ３」となる。このように、バージョン情報は、その記事情報の議論が、過去において何度なされたものであるのかについての情報を提供する。
　さらに、バージョン情報３１６は、これをタッチ又はクリックすることにより、各バージョン情報を有する過去記事を呼び出せる態様としても良い。このようにすると、現在議論が進行している記事情報から、直ちに同内容のトピックを有する過去記事に遷移することが可能となり、ユーザが過去の議論を参照することが容易になる。 The version information 316 displays the version of article information. When the article information is newly generated based on the article generation request S201 or the article generation vote S214, for example, the version is displayed as “v1”. On the other hand, when the article information is created based on the article generation request S201 using the content of the past article, the article information includes the same cut as the discussion made in the past article. Therefore, the version information 316 is displayed as “v2”. Further, when the article information is generated based on the past article including the information “v2” as the version information, the version information 316 of the article is “v3”. Thus, the version information provides information on how many times the discussion of the article information has been done in the past.
Furthermore, the version information 316 may be configured such that a past article having each version information can be called by touching or clicking the version information 316. By doing so, it becomes possible to immediately transition from the article information in which the discussion is currently underway to a past article having the same topic, and it becomes easy for the user to refer to the past discussion.
　図示していないが、記事情報３００には、さらに「インサイティ・インデックス（ＩｎＸｉｇｈｔｙ　Ｉｎｄｅｘ）」と呼ばれる指標を表示することができる。インサイティ・インデックスは、「１つの記事情報において、コメント評価情報の数値が『Ｘ』であるコメントが『Ｘ』個以上ある」という条件を満たす最大の『Ｘ』を意味する。例えば、ある記事情報において、インサイティ・インデックスが１０である場合、その記事には、「評価数が１０以上のコメントが少なくとも１０個あるが、評価数が１１以上のコメントは１１未満である」。インサイティ・インデックスにより、記事情報に含まれているコメントの数量と、その品質とを１つの数値で表すことが可能となる。
　さらに、インサイティ・インデックスに記事情報中のコメントの評価数の合計、又はコメント数の合計を乗じた数値を、「インサイティ・インデックス・プライム（ＩｎＸｉｇｈｔｙ　Ｉｎｄｅｘ＊）」と定義して、記事情報のインデックス指標として利用することもできる。また、これらのインデックスを既存のインデックス指標と組み合わせた指標をサービス上で使用することもできる。 Although not shown, the article information 300 can further display an index called "InXighty Index". The in-sight index means the largest "X" that satisfies the condition that "there is "X" or more comments whose comment evaluation information has the numerical value "X" in one article information"". For example, if in-situ index is 10 in a certain article information, the article has “at least 10 comments having an evaluation number of 10 or more, but less than 11 comments having an evaluation number of 11 or more”. The in-site index makes it possible to express the number of comments included in article information and the quality thereof as one numerical value.
Furthermore, the index number of the article information is defined by defining the “Insighty Index Prime” as a value obtained by multiplying the total number of comments in the article information or the total number of comments in the article information. It can also be used as. It is also possible to use indexes that combine these indexes with existing index indexes on the service.
　図示していないが、記事情報３００をユーザの端末１０１、１０２に表示する際、出版物を取得するための取得ボタンを表示しても良い。出版物の取得ボタンを押すと、出版物リクエストＳ２１２がサーバ１００に送信され、サーバからユーザの端末１０１、１０２に、当該記事情報の出版物が送信される（Ｓ２１３）。 Although not shown, when displaying the article information 300 on the user's terminals 101 and 102, an acquisition button for acquiring a publication may be displayed. When the publication acquisition button is pressed, a publication request S212 is transmitted to the server 100, and the publication of the article information is transmitted from the server to the user terminals 101 and 102 (S213).
　端末１０１、１０２に記事情報３００を表示する際、記事情報３００と別の記事情報との表示順序を入れ替え、又は記事情報３００に追加されたコメント３１１の表示順序を入れ替えることにより、ユーザが求めている情報をより的確にユーザに対して届けることが可能となる。たとえば、記事評価情報３０７に基づき、評価の高い記事から順に優先的に表示することにより、より充実した内容を含む記事情報をユーザに提供することができる。同様に、コメント評価情報３１３に基づき、評価の高いコメントから順に優先的に表示することが好ましい。さらに、各ユーザが嗜好する記事の分野を分析し、分類情報３０４に基づいて、当該分野に近い分野の記事情報やコメントを優先的に表示させることも可能である。この両者を組み合わせて、記事の分類情報３０４と、記事評価情報３０７及びコメント評価情報３１３とに基づき、ユーザの端末に表示させる記事情報及びコメントの順位を決定することがさらに好ましい。 When the article information 300 is displayed on the terminals 101 and 102, the display order of the article information 300 and another article information is exchanged, or the display order of the comment 311 added to the article information 300 is exchanged, so that the user obtains it. It is possible to more accurately deliver the existing information to the user. For example, based on the article evaluation information 307, it is possible to provide the user with article information including more fulfilled content by preferentially displaying articles in descending order of evaluation. Similarly, based on the comment evaluation information 313, it is preferable to preferentially display the comments in descending order of evaluation. Furthermore, it is also possible to analyze the field of the article that each user likes, and based on the classification information 304, preferentially display the article information and comments of the field close to the field. It is more preferable to combine both of these and determine the order of the article information and the comment displayed on the user's terminal based on the article classification information 304 and the article evaluation information 307 and the comment evaluation information 313.
　ソーシャルネットワークサービスにおいて、第１のユーザが記事情報３００にコメント３１１を付することにつき、サービス提供者が対価を支払うこととしても良い。この場合、第１のユーザが付したコメント３１１の件数に応じて対価の額を決定することとしてもよいが、付されたコメントに対する評価を対価の額に反映することにより、第１のユーザが付するコメントの品質の向上が期待できる。具体的には、コメント評価情報３１３に基づき、評価が高いコメントを提供した第１のユーザに対してより高額の報酬を払うこととすることとしても良い。記事情報３００をリクエストした第２のユーザがサービス提供者に対して記事情報公開の対価である公開対価を支払うこととし、コメントを付した第１のユーザに対してサービス提供者が支払うコメント対価は、当該公開対価を原資としても良い。図示していないが、サーバ１００に対価情報記憶部を設け、公開対価の額を記事情報３００と関連付けて記憶させ、コメント評価情報３１３に基づき、自動的にコメント対価を決定することが可能である。さらに、コメント評価情報３１３だけでなく、コメント件数３０６、記事評価情報３０７、記事情報にコメントを追加する権限を与えられた第１のユーザの人数等の情報を利用してコメント対価を決定することがより望ましい。 In the social network service, the service provider may pay a fee when the first user adds a comment 311 to the article information 300. In this case, the consideration amount may be determined according to the number of comments 311 added by the first user, but by reflecting the evaluation of the added comment on the consideration amount, the first user can It can be expected that the quality of the comments will be improved. Specifically, based on the comment evaluation information 313, a higher amount of remuneration may be paid to the first user who has provided a highly evaluated comment. The second user who requests the article information 300 pays the service provider a public consideration, which is the consideration for the article information disclosure, and the comment consideration paid by the service provider to the first user who makes a comment is , The public consideration may be used as the funding source. Although not shown, it is possible to provide a consideration information storage unit in the server 100, store the amount of public consideration in association with the article information 300, and store it, and automatically determine the comment consideration based on the comment evaluation information 313. .. Further, not only the comment evaluation information 313, but also the number of comments 306, article evaluation information 307, information such as the number of first users who are authorized to add comments to the article information, and the like are used to determine the comment consideration. Is more desirable.
　図４は、ユーザが記事情報を表示する際のコメントの表示方法の別の一例である。図３では、ユーザのコメントは属性情報とは無関係に縦一列に配置されて表示されていたが、図４では、属性情報に基づいて分類されて表示される。ユーザがコメント４００をタッチ又はクリックすると、コメント４００の下方に、属性情報が記載された属性タブ４０１が表示される。そして、各属性タブの下には、対応する属性情報を有するコメントが表示される。図４では、属性タブとして「要約」、「科学」、「応用技術」、「その他」のタブが表示されており、「要約」の属性タブが選択されて、その下にコメントが１件表示されている例を記載している。このように、コメントを属性情報により分類し、属性タブごとに表示することで、コメント数が多い場合でも、興味のある属性情報を持つコメントのみを表示することが可能となる。 FIG. 4 is another example of a comment display method when a user displays article information. In FIG. 3, the user's comments are arranged and displayed in a vertical row regardless of the attribute information, but in FIG. 4, the user comments are classified and displayed based on the attribute information. When the user touches or clicks the comment 400, an attribute tab 401 in which attribute information is written is displayed below the comment 400. Then, a comment having corresponding attribute information is displayed under each attribute tab. In FIG. 4, "Summary", "Science", "Applied Technology", and "Other" tabs are displayed as attribute tabs. The "Summary" attribute tab is selected, and one comment is displayed below it. The example is described. In this way, by classifying the comments according to the attribute information and displaying them for each attribute tab, it is possible to display only the comments having the attribute information of interest even when the number of comments is large.
　図５は、第１のユーザがコメントを入力する際の画面情報の一例である。属性選択タブ５０１は、第１のユーザがコメントを入力する際、当該コメントの属性情報を決定するためのタブである。第１のユーザが、属性選択タブ５０１から自らのコメントが属する属性を選択して投稿すると、コメントは選択された属性情報を有することとなる。第１のユーザが属性情報を選択しなかった場合、サーバ１００の制御部１０５により、コメントの内容を解析して自動的に属性情報を割り当てることも可能である。 FIG. 5 is an example of screen information when the first user inputs a comment. The attribute selection tab 501 is a tab for determining attribute information of the comment when the first user inputs the comment. When the first user selects the attribute to which his/her comment belongs from the attribute selection tab 501 and posts, the comment has the selected attribute information. When the first user does not select the attribute information, the control unit 105 of the server 100 can analyze the content of the comment and automatically assign the attribute information.
　コメント部５０２は、第１のユーザがコメントを入力するテキストボックスである。第１のユーザは、ここに自らのコメントを記入する。コメントは、標準的なテキストデータのほか、ＨＴＭＬ等の言語を用いて記載することも可能であるし、別の記事情報や外部のウェブサイトへのリンクを直接記入することもできる。 The comment section 502 is a text box in which the first user inputs a comment. The first user writes his comment here. In addition to standard text data, the comment can be described using a language such as HTML, or other article information or a link to an external website can be directly entered.
　リンク入力部５０３は、第１のユーザが記事情報にコメントを追加する際、リンク３１２を作成するための機能を有する。すでに述べたとおり、ユーザは、コメント中にリンク３１２を追加することができ、リンク３１２は、コメント等の内部に含まれるのではなく、コメント３１１と同様に、記事情報に対して独立にリンク情報として追加されても良い。リンク入力部５０３により、このリンク３１２を簡易に作成することができる。例えば、第１のユーザがコメントを追加しようとすると、リンク入力部５０３には、自動的にリンクの候補が表示される。リンクの候補は、例えば、第１のユーザが以前に別の記事情報に追加したコメントへのリンクや、コメントを入力しようとする記事情報と関連を有する内容を含む記事情報へのリンク、第１のユーザのユーザ情報に含まれる文献情報へのリンクなどを含む。さらに、第１のユーザが、リンクの候補を手動で追加することも可能である。追加の方法は、ファイルをサーバ１００にアップロードし、当該ファイルへのリンクを作成する方法であってもよいし、外部ウェブサイトへのリンクを作成する方法であっても良い。最後に、コメント作成ボタン５０４を押下することにより、コメントが追加される。 The link input unit 503 has a function for creating a link 312 when the first user adds a comment to the article information. As described above, the user can add the link 312 in the comment, and the link 312 is not included in the comment or the like but is linked to the link information independently of the article information, like the comment 311. May be added as. The link input unit 503 allows the link 312 to be easily created. For example, when the first user tries to add a comment, link candidates are automatically displayed in the link input unit 503. The link candidate is, for example, a link to a comment previously added to another article information by the first user, or a link to article information including content related to the article information for which a comment is to be input, Includes links to literature information included in the user information of the user. Further, the first user can manually add the link candidates. The additional method may be a method of uploading a file to the server 100 and creating a link to the file, or a method of creating a link to an external website. Finally, the comment is added by pressing the comment creation button 504.
　図６は、アーカイブとバージョン管理との概念の違いを説明する概念図である。アーカイブは、前述のとおり、期間情報によって定められたコメント追加期間において、記事情報をリアルタイムで保存することにより、ユーザが議論の進展を確認することを可能とする。これに対し、バージョン情報３１６に基づくバージョン管理は、コメント追加期間が終了した過去記事の内容について、繰り返し議論が行われた場合に、過去記事と現在の記事情報とを連結して議論の流れを理解するための概念である。図６では、「記事情報Ａ：ｖ１（６０１）」と「記事情報Ａ：ｖ２（６０２）」の２つの異なるバージョンの記事について、それぞれ「Ｔｉｍｅ」が「１」から「５」まで、５つのアーカイブが作成されている様子を示している。
　バージョン管理は、１つ１つのバージョンによって管理される過去記事が、各々完結した議論を含んでいる点で、議論の進展をリアルタイムで把握するためのアーカイブとは機能が異なる。科学技術情報に関する議論は、経時により以前は正しいと考えられていたことが正しくなくなるといったことも多いため、ロングスパンで議論の方向性を確認することのできるバージョン管理機能は極めて有用である。 FIG. 6 is a conceptual diagram for explaining the difference in concept between archive and version management. As described above, the archive enables the user to confirm the progress of the discussion by storing the article information in real time during the comment addition period defined by the period information. On the other hand, the version management based on the version information 316 links the past article and the current article information to create a flow of discussion when the content of the past article for which the comment addition period has ended is repeatedly discussed. It is a concept for understanding. In FIG. 6, with respect to two different versions of articles “article information A:v1 (601)” and “article information A:v2 (602)”, “Time” is five from “1” to “5”. It shows how the archive is being created.
Version management has a different function from the archive for grasping the progress of discussions in real time, because each past article managed by each version contains a completed discussion. Since discussions on scientific and technological information often become incorrect after being thought to be correct in the past, the version control function that can confirm the direction of discussions over a long span is extremely useful.
