In the access analysis of a website, since the site is a mass of multiple pages, it is easy to understand that the site is accessed in page units, and it is possible to visualize what the visitor is interested in and what the purpose is. However, in video distribution, although the video has a large amount of information, the video data is a mass of data, so whether it was played or how far it was watched on the time axis regardless of the content is being watched. I could only analyze vague data such as. For example, even if the administrator of the video distribution source wants to analyze the number or ratio of users who have viewed a specific part of the video, it cannot be easily analyzed.
As the use of video will increase further in the future, a visualization evaluation method such as website access analysis will be required.

Since the information processing device described in Patent Document 1 can acquire operation information including the reproduction start time and the reproduction end time for each content, each viewer can acquire the operation information including the reproduction start time and the reproduction end time for each content on the time axis regardless of the content of the video. It is possible to collect data from where to where you watched.
However, if data is collected as it is from where to where each viewer watched on the time axis, the amount of data becomes enormous, and for a large number of viewers, each watched a plurality of specific points, or multiple viewers. It is difficult to analyze what percentage of viewers watched a specific location.

Also in the case of the program viewing terminal described in Patent Document 2, since the program position information extraction unit extracts the selection position information including at least the start position and the end position of the selection operation in the program, it is related to the content of the viewed video. Instead, it is possible to collect data from where to where each viewer watched on the time axis.
However, if data is collected as it is from where to where each viewer watched on the time axis, the amount of data becomes enormous, and for a large number of viewers, each watched a plurality of specific points, or multiple viewers. It is difficult to analyze what percentage of viewers watched a specific location.

Further, in the case of the information viewing completion confirmation method described in Patent Document 3, only the reproduction completion is monitored based on the reproduction completion identification means, and data can be collected as to whether or not a specific part in the moving image has been viewed. Can not.

Similarly, in the case of the advertisement viewing confirmation program described in Patent Document 4, the playback time and viewing time of the moving image are stored in the viewing time storage process, which indicates whether or not the user has watched the moving image to the end. The main purpose is to prevent the reward from being given when the user skips the advertisement video halfway, and it is not possible to collect data as to whether or not a specific part of the video has been viewed. Not listed.

In the information processing apparatus described in Patent Document 5, a scene tag is attached to each scene of the moving image, and by extracting the added scene tag, it is detected whether or not each scene in the moving image is viewed. Therefore, if the administrator of the video distribution source wants to analyze data about the number or ratio of users who have viewed a specific part of the video, it is relatively easy to add a specific scene tag to that part. It is possible to collect data such as the number or percentage of users who have viewed a specific location.
However, in the case of the information processing apparatus described in Patent Document 5, the work is relatively difficult because it is necessary to process the moving image data file, and when the moving image data is attached with a scene tag, for example, for the inside of the organization and outside. There is a problem that different scene tags cannot be attached to each user's attributes such as for.

A main object of the present invention is to visualize which scene each viewer has viewed in a title-based scene unit arbitrarily set by the administrator of the distribution source in video distribution, and easily evaluate the video or the video. It is an object of the present invention to provide a video viewing providing device, a video viewing providing method, and a video viewing providing program capable of evaluating a person who has watched the video.
Another object of the present invention can be used as basic data for sales or marketing by evaluating a person who has watched a video, or can be used as data for permeating a message to each organization in a company. , A video viewing providing device, a video viewing providing method, and a video viewing providing program.

(1)
The video viewing providing device according to one aspect has a video distribution unit that distributes a video to a plurality of users, a scene setting unit that sets a title scene at a plurality of parts of the video, and a user sets a title scene. The scene setting unit includes a timeline of the title and the video, including a viewing evaluation unit that checks whether or not the user has watched the video, and a feedback unit that feeds back the evaluation result of the viewing evaluation unit to the user and the video distributor. Generates multiple titled scene data including start and end times in.

In the access analysis in the conventional video distribution, only vague data analysis such as whether or not the video data alone was played, how far it was watched on the time axis regardless of the content, and what part was watched could be performed.
On the other hand, in the video viewing providing device according to one aspect, a plurality of titled scene data including the title and the start time and the end time in the timeline of the video are generated in the scene setting unit, and the titled scene data is referred to. By evaluating the viewing state of the user while doing so, it is possible to easily check whether or not each user has viewed the place where each titled scene is set.
Further, it is desirable that the titled scene data is, for example, text data, which is different from the moving image data file. In this case, it is easier to generate as compared with the case of adding a tag in the moving image data.
In addition, the result of checking whether each user has viewed the place where the title scene is set is used as basic data for sales or marketing, or as data for permeating the message to each organization in the company. Can be used.

If viewing is confirmed at the second predetermined time of the above, or at the third predetermined time after the end of the section, the section may be viewed.

A titled scene is set at any part of the video, and the viewing time of the user's video on the timeline is recorded for each user, and the viewing time is set to the start time of each titled scene data. When checking whether the end time is included, first of all, the administrator must always set a title scene for each video. In addition, it is necessary to save the viewing time for each user and then compare the viewing time with the start time and end time of each titled scene data. Therefore, as the load on the video distribution administrator increases and the number of users increases, the required storage area and processing amount increase.
On the other hand, in the moving image viewing providing device according to the fourth invention, the titled scene is automatically set, and the viewing evaluation is also performed for each user in the second before the end of the m sections. Since it is only necessary to record whether or not viewing is confirmed at a predetermined time or a third predetermined time after the end, even if the number of users is large, the required storage area and processing amount can be small. ..

The predetermined time and the third predetermined time may both be 1/100 of the total time of the moving image.

In this case, by dividing the moving image into 10 parts and evaluating the viewing, it is possible to grasp which part of the moving image has been viewed.
There is no problem in monitoring video playback every 1 second in normal playback, but it is desirable to monitor every 0.5 seconds including the case of double-speed playback.
In addition, it is possible to evaluate whether or not each section of the video has been viewed by confirming whether or not the end time of each section of the video has been viewed. Therefore, the viewing time detected by the video viewing providing device may differ from the actual viewing time of the user. In the moving image viewing providing device according to the sixth invention, when viewing is confirmed in a period of 1/100 of the total time of the moving image before and after the ending time of each section, the moving image of the end time of each section is viewed.

FIG. 3 is a schematic flowchart showing the operation of the moving image viewing providing device 100.

In FIG. 1, the moving image viewing providing device 100 is connected to the user terminal 110 through the network 120. Examples of the user terminal 110 include a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a smartphone, and the like, but any user terminal 110 that can be connected to the video viewing providing device 100 through the network 120 and can play back video may be used. Therefore, it is not limited to the above.
Further, for example, as a video viewing system 200, DOUPA! (Registered trademark) can be used, but it can also be used on member sites or EC sites where users have registered their account information.

In FIG. 2, the moving image viewing providing device 100 includes a moving image distribution unit 10, a scene setting unit 20, a viewing evaluation unit 30, a feedback unit 40, a storage unit 50, a communication unit 60, and a display 70.
The produced video such as a message video and an advertisement video from the manager is stored in the storage unit 50 from the network 120 via the communication unit 60 (step S1 in FIG. 3).
The moving image stored in the storage unit 50 can be displayed on the display 70 by the moving image distribution unit 10.

The scene setting unit 20 sets a plurality of titled scenes by designating a title and a start time and an end time in the timeline of the video for the video stored in the storage unit 50 and displayed on the display 70. (Step S2).
Further, the moving image is distributed to the user terminal 110 via the communication unit 60 and the network 120. The user watches the video delivered by the video player mounted on the user terminal (step S3).

Upon receipt, it is checked whether or not the user has viewed the place where the titled scene is set (step S4).
The feedback unit 40 receives information from the viewing evaluation unit 30 regarding which title scene each user has viewed, calculates the total points of each user, and gives feedback to each user according to the total points. (Step S5).

(Operation of scene setting unit 20)
FIG. 4 shows an example of a scene setting operation by the scene setting unit 20, and FIG. 5 shows an example of the contents of a scene data file in which a plurality of title scene data are stored. 4 and 5 are examples of videos of the president's message within the company.

The administrator of the video distribution source who sets the scene selects the video to be viewed and evaluated from the video list, and sets the period (date and time) to be evaluated.
Next, the administrator plays the video and finds out the start and end times of each title scene that he wants to set. In this case, the scene setting unit 20 confirms the reproduced image at each position on the timeline by scrolling, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, and puts a frame on the timeline to start and end each titled scene. It is desirable to have a function that can acquire time.
Alternatively, normal moving image playback may be performed to acquire the start time and end time of each titled scene.

The data of the titled scenes with the start time and the end time are collected in a scene data file as shown in FIG. In FIG. 5, in addition to the title column, the start time column, and the end time column, a point column and a remarks column are provided. In FIG. 5, the length of each titled scene is within 1 minute. However, the length of the titled scene may be longer than 1 minute depending on the content of the moving image.
The point column is used when the feedback unit 40 calculates the total points. In FIG. 5, the points of each titled scene are all 20 points, but the points of the scene that seems to be more important may be set larger. If the important issues 1, 2 and 3 are the issues of the development department, the manufacturing department, and the sales department, respectively, the scene data file for the development department, the scene data file for the manufacturing department, and the scene data for the sales department are used. The file may be separated from the file, and the points of the important task scenes for each department may be set large for each user with different attributes.

In addition, points are usually allocated so that the total score of each user is 100 points at the maximum, but in the case of a type of video that is repeatedly viewed, the score of one user exceeds 100 points. May be good.
The scene data file can be embedded in the video data file, but it can also be a separate file from the video data file. When changing the contents (points, etc.) of the scene data file for each department, it is better to make the scene data file a separate file from the video data file.

(Operation of viewing evaluation unit 30)
FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the viewing evaluation operation by the viewing evaluation unit 30.
When the user terminal 110 starts watching the video, the viewing evaluation unit 30 uses Javascript (registered trademark) set in the video viewing page, for example, to display the video every 0.5 seconds from the start of video viewing. Monitor playback and receive viewing time information on the video timeline.
Then, it is checked whether or not the time of each titled scene is included in the received viewing time, and among the titled scenes, for example, 70% or more of the time of the titled scene is included in the viewing time. Let the titled scene be viewed.
In the example of FIG. 6, the titled scenes 1, 2, and 5 are viewed.
The viewing evaluation unit 30 starts the viewing evaluation at the start of the target period of the viewing evaluation, and ends the viewing evaluation at the end of the target period.

(Operation of feedback unit 40)
The feedback unit 40 receives the evaluation result of the viewing evaluation unit 30, calculates the total user points and feeds it back to the user, and for each titled scene, the ratio of the viewing users among all the users, etc. By providing the data, the evaluation result of the video is fed back to the distributor of the video.

FIG. 7 is a table showing an example of calculation of total user points by the feedback unit 40.
In FIG. 7, the viewing / non-viewing column of the title scenes 1, 2, and 5 viewed by the user is 1, and the viewing / non-viewing column of the 3 and 4 titled scenes that are not viewed is 0.
The feedback unit 40 calculates the total user points by summing the product of the points of each titled scene and the presence / absence of viewing. In the example of FIG. 7, the total user points are 60 points.
In FIG. 7, the points of each titled scene are all 20 points, but if the points of the scene data file are changed according to the attributes of the user, even if the user has the same viewing presence or absence. User total points may vary.
After the end of the viewing evaluation period, the administrator of the video distribution source extracts the users who watched the video, and downloads the points for each scene with the title of the user, CSV data describing the total points, various graphs, etc. Can be done.

FIG. 8A is a schematic flowchart showing an example of the operation of the feedback unit 40 when the video viewing providing device 100 is used to provide a message video from the manager, and FIG. 8B is a video viewing. It is a schematic flowchart which shows an example of the operation of the feedback part 40 when the providing apparatus 100 is used for an advertisement moving image.

The points calculation steps S51 and S54 are as described above (see FIG. 7), and are the same in both cases.
When the video viewing providing device 100 is used to provide a message video from the manager, it is checked whether or not the total user points of each user are equal to or less than the predetermined points N1 (step S52). Then, an e-mail requesting re-viewing is automatically created and transmitted to a user whose total points are equal to or less than a predetermined point N1 (step S53). In this embodiment, N1 is, for example, 60 points. In this case, the user of FIG. 7 will receive the re-viewing request mail.
In the check of the total user points in step S52, the average value of the total user points may be calculated for each department, and the department whose average value is N1 or less may be requested to re-view in each department. ..

When the video viewing providing device 100 is used to provide the advertising video, it is checked whether or not the user total points of each user are the predetermined points N2 or more (step S55). Then, a further sales approach is taken to users whose total points are a predetermined point N2 or more (step S56).
Specifically, for example, if the video is a video introducing new clothing in the summer of 2021, N2 may be set to 60 points, and direct mail may be automatically created and mailed to users with 60 points or more. Further, for example, if the video is a video introducing a new drug in the first half of 2021, N2 may be set to 80 points, and users with 80 points or more may be made an appointment by telephone from a sales representative.

The feedback unit 40 can visualize the evaluation of the moving image by calculating and graphing the ratio of the viewing users among all the users for each titled scene.

FIG. 9 is an example of a graph showing the ratio of viewers among all users for each titled scene in the case of a message video from a manager.
The titled scene numbers in FIG. 9 correspond to FIG. In the case of FIG. 9, the viewing ratio of the next important data display of No. 1 is high, but the viewing ratio of the important task 3 of No. 4 is low. It is considered that this is because the user's interest in the important issue 3 is originally low, but in the viewing evaluation unit 30 of the present invention, only the user who has viewed the part of the titled scene to the end is determined to have viewing. It is also considered that the content of the titled scene of 4 did not attract the user's interest.
Further, when the video is an advertisement video, by associating each titled scene with each product, it is possible to read from the graph which product the user is more interested in.

Data such as the total user points of each user and the percentage of users who watched each titled scene are used as data for permeating messages to each organization in the company and as basic data for sales or marketing. can do.

[Second Embodiment]
The video viewing providing device 100 of the first embodiment sets a title scene at an arbitrary part of the video, and further records the viewing time of the user's video on the timeline for each user. It is examined whether the viewing time includes the start time and the end time of each titled scene data, and the viewing evaluation is performed. On the other hand, in the moving image viewing providing device 100 of the second embodiment, m is a positive integer, the entire moving image is divided into m, m sections are provided, and each is used as a titled scene for each user. On the other hand, the viewing evaluation is based on whether or not the viewing is confirmed at the first predetermined time before the end of the m sections or the second predetermined time after the end.
Therefore, the schematic flowchart showing the configuration of the video viewing providing device 100 of the second embodiment, the configuration of the entire video viewing system 200 in which the video viewing providing device 100 is incorporated, and the operation of the video viewing providing device 100 is the first.

FIG. 10 shows an example of scene setting by the scene setting unit 20 and viewing evaluation by the viewing evaluation unit 30 in the second embodiment. In the example of FIG. 10, m = 10, and the first predetermined time and the second predetermined time are both 18 seconds.
The scene setting unit 20 of the second embodiment first acquires the length (total time) of the entire moving image, 30 minutes in the case of FIG. 10, and divides it into 10 to form 10 titled scenes of 3 minutes each. do. In this case, the title of each scene may be, for example, the first scene, the second scene, ..., The tenth scene.
The viewing evaluation unit 30 of the second embodiment monitors the video playback every 0.5 seconds from the start of playback, and watches the video at 18 seconds before the end of the 10 sections or 18 seconds after the end. If is confirmed, it is assumed that each user whose viewing is confirmed has viewed the scene.
It should be noted that the time interval for moving image reproduction monitoring is not a problem at every 1 second in normal reproduction, but it is desirable to monitor every 0.5 seconds including the case of double speed reproduction. If you want to further improve the monitoring accuracy, you may set it shorter than 0.5 seconds, and if you want to reduce the monitoring processing amount, you may set it longer than 0.5 seconds.
Further, it is desirable that 18 seconds, which is the time for confirming that the scene has been viewed, is about 1/100 of the total time of the video, but when viewing the video via the Internet, it is adjusted to the delay time of the communication line. It may be set longer or shorter.

A titled scene is set at any part of the video, and the viewing time of the user's video on the timeline is recorded for each user, and the viewing time is set to the start time of each titled scene data. When checking whether the end time is included, first of all, the administrator must always set a title scene for each video. In addition, it is necessary to save the viewing time for each user and then compare the viewing time with the start time and end time of each titled scene data. Therefore, as the load on the video distribution administrator increases and the number of users increases, the required storage area and processing amount increase.
On the other hand, in the video viewing providing device 100 of the second embodiment, the titled scene is automatically set, and the viewing evaluation is also the first before the end of the m sections for each user. Since it is only necessary to record whether or not the viewing is confirmed at the predetermined time of the above or the second predetermined time after the end, the required storage area and the amount of processing are small even if the number of users is large. I'm done.

In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the configuration of the video viewing providing device 100, the configuration of the entire video viewing system 200 in which the video viewing providing device 100 is incorporated, and the operation of the video viewing providing device 100 are described. Since the basic flowcharts shown are the same, for example, by incorporating both the video viewing providing program of the first embodiment and the video viewing providing program of the second embodiment, the function of the video viewing providing device 100 of the first embodiment and the second embodiment are incorporated. It is possible to configure the moving image viewing providing device 100 having both the functions of the moving image viewing providing device 100 of the embodiment.
In this case, it is possible to select either a more detailed evaluation of video viewing or a more efficient evaluation of video viewing according to the type of video to be provided or the user of the video.
