Below, a form for implementing the present technology (hereinafter referred to as an embodiment) will be described.

<Embodiment of information processing system>
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of an information processing system to which the present technology is applied. The information processing system 1 in FIG. 1 includes a service management server 11-1 managed by a service provider A, a service management server 11-2 managed by a service provider B, a cross-service management server 12, a Blockchain 13, and a client terminal 14. have

The client terminal 14 represents a client terminal used by a predetermined user A among a plurality of client terminals used by a plurality of users. Although FIG. 1 shows service provider A and service provider B, there are multiple service providers. In the following description, if there is no need to distinguish between service provider A and service provider B, they will simply be referred to as service providers. When there is no need to distinguish between the service management server 11-1 and the service management server 11-2, they are simply referred to as the service management server 11. Describe the other parts in the same way.

An overview of the overall processing of the information processing system 1 will be explained. Service provider A and service provider B mainly issue NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) and provide web services (websites), etc., respectively, through the service management server 11-1 and the service management server 11-1. It is the main entity that issues NFTs using 11-2.

A service provider may be an organization such as a company, or an individual. The service provider provides NFT-related information (NFT-related information) and transaction information to issue NFTs that represent (symbolize) content stored in the service management server 11 or live-distributed events (for example, as digital data). It is generated by the service management server 11 and sent to the Blockchain 13. The NFT-related information includes, for example, an ID that is NFT identification information, an owner's address (equivalent to an account number), information that specifies content metadata, and the like.

If the owner of the NFT (content) to be issued is User A, the service management server 11 sets the address of User A on the Blockchain 13 as the NFT issue destination (ownership destination). The user who becomes the owner of the NFT may be, for example, a user who has performed an NFT purchase procedure with a service provider in a predetermined manner, a user who is selected by the service provider under predetermined conditions, or the like.

The exchange between the service management server 11 and user A's client terminal 14 may be performed directly or may be performed via the cross-service management server 12. As will be described later, the cross-service management server 12 acquires information regarding services provided by a plurality of service providers, specifically, information regarding the number of views and the amount of charges called tipping coins.

In order to obtain such information, the service management server 11 and the client terminal 14 communicate with each other via the cross-service management server 12, and the cross-service management server 12 acquires the necessary information from this exchange. You may also try to obtain it. Further, the service management server 11 and the client terminal 14 may directly communicate with each other, and information may be supplied from the service management server 11 to the cross-service management server 12 as necessary.

In the Blockchain 13, when a consensus is reached using a consensus algorithm on the NFT-related information and transaction information sent from the service management server 11, the transaction information is recorded in the Blockchain 13. As a result, an NFT representing the predetermined content is issued with user A as the owner. Note that the NFT may be issued with the service provider on the Blockchain 13 as the owner, and then the NFT may be traded with the user A to change the owner of the NFT to the user A.

User A, who has become the owner of the NFT, accesses the service management server 11 with his client terminal 14 through a communication line (for example, the Internet), and provides content represented as an NFT (converted into an NFT). It can be downloaded from the management server 11 to the client terminal 14. The client terminal 14 may be a mobile terminal such as a smartphone or a tablet, or may be a personal computer (PC).

Here, NFT is digital data that is issued and traded on Blockchain 13 and serves as an unforgeable certificate of authenticity and ownership certificate. NFT represents (symbolizes) content that is non-fungible (non-substitutable) and unique. The types of content eligible for NFT include all intangible digital items such as files such as music, videos, e-books, and text. However, content to be turned into NFTs is not limited to intangible items such as digital items, but can also be services or tangible items.

NFTs are generated based on, for example, the token standards ERC (Ethereum Request for Comments) 721 or ERC1155. Types of tokens for which transaction information is recorded on Blockchain 13 include tokens that are unique cryptographic assets such as NFTs, and fungible tokens (FTs) that have fungibility such as cryptocurrencies (virtual currencies). :Fungible Token). The fungibility token is generated based on the token standard ERC20, for example. In this embodiment, a token that is a unique cryptographic asset is referred to as an NFT, and a fungible token is referred to as a cryptographic currency. However, the unique cryptographic asset (token) may be other than NFT.

Blockchain 13 is a type of database constructed by a P2P computer network using the well-known Blockchain mechanism. Ethereum is a well-known blockchain that currently exists. Blockchain 13 records NFT-related information, transaction information (transaction history), etc.

<Device configuration of information processing system 1>
FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating the configuration of the service management server 11, cross-service management server 12, and client terminal 14 in the information processing system 1 of FIG.

The service management server 11 is communicably connected to each of the cross-service management server 12 and client terminal 14 via the Internet. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the Internet is used for communication between devices, but any communication network other than the Internet may be used, and communication between devices may involve multiple types of communication. It is also possible to configure communication based on a standard.

The service management server 11 mainly manages web services provided to the client terminals 14. A case in which a web service is an event distributed in real time will be explained as an example. The service management server 11 issues NFTs, records NFT-related information on the Blockchain 13, records that link NFT content and NFT IDs, and records information on the Blockchain 13 via a web service managed by the service management server 11. Management of transaction information (transaction information).

The service management server 11-1 includes a communication section 31-1, an acquisition section 32-1, a control section 33-1, a Blockchain information management section 34-1, and a Token (NFT) issuing section 35-1 (hereinafter referred to as the NFT issuing section 35). -1), an NFT content management section 36-1, and a display section 37-1. Similarly, the service management server 11-2 includes a communication section 31-2, an acquisition section 32-2, a control section 33-2, a Blockchain information management section 34-2, an NFT issuing section 35-2, an NFT content management section 36-2, and a display section 37-2.

The communication unit 31 exchanges various information through communication between the cross-service management server 12 and the client terminal 14 via the Internet.

The acquisition unit 32 acquires information from the cross-service management server 12 and client terminal 14 via the communication unit 31.

The control unit 33 manages the web services provided by the service management server 11, records and calls transaction information on the Blockchain 13, etc.

The Blockchain information management unit 34 manages transaction information and NFT-related information of transactions executed with the application on the client terminal 14. The NFT issuing unit 35 issues an NFT representing content. The NFT content management unit 36 manages content linked to NFTs (NFT IDs).

The display unit 37 is a display and displays a screen to be described later. The screen displayed on the display unit 37 is a screen based on image data generated on the cross-service management server 12 side.

The cross-service management server 12 is a server that cross-manages services provided by multiple service providers. The cross-service management server 12 acquires information regarding the number of people receiving the service provided by the service provider and the amount charged for the service. Here, the explanation will be continued assuming that the service provider provides a live streaming event, and information regarding the number of views of the event and the amount charged using a function such as coin tipping is acquired.

The cross-service management server 12 includes a communication section 51, an acquisition section 52, and a control section 53. The communication unit 51 controls communication. The communication unit 31 exchanges various information by communicating with the client terminal 14 and the service management server 11 via the Internet.

The acquisition unit 52 acquires information from the service management server 11 and client terminal 14 via the communication unit 51.

The control unit 53 executes various processes by executing programs. The control unit 53 includes a tipping situation determination unit 61, a display information determination unit 62, a Blockchain information management unit 63, and a service/application management unit 64 as processing units constructed by executing a program.

The tipping status determination unit 61 generates notification information to be displayed on the application or site of the client terminal 14. The notification information is the tipping status of multiple tipping coins in Dapps (Decentralized-Applications). The coin tipping status determining unit 61 determines, across services, what kind of cryptocurrency is being tipped.

A donation is used, for example, to financially support a creator from a fan, and is the transmission of crypto currency from the fan to the creator. These coins can also be exchanged using Bitcoin, etc. For example, in Bitcoin, transactions are executed using P2P (Peer-to-peer) technology and cryptographic technology such as public key cryptography. In Bitcoin, currency is expressed as a collection of all the transaction history of a coin. Specifically, a "transaction" includes the hash value of the previous transaction, the new owner's public key, and is electronically signed by the original coin owner's cryptographic key. All transaction information is shared across the P2P network.

In addition to Bitcoin, many other Blockchains have been implemented; for example, Ethereum transactions can optionally include data fields. In the case of a transaction that deploys a contract, the data is a bytecode representation of the contract. For transactions sent to a smart contract, the data includes the name and arguments of the function to call.

In this way, in addition to remittances, Ethereum allows you to record transaction history on Blockchain, including application metadata, and in addition to remittances, it is also possible to record transaction history by linking it with application information of the service provided. It is possible. Software programs whose operation is maintained by a distributed network of computer nodes, such as Ethereum, rather than by a single server are called decentralized applications (Dapps).

Because Dapps are based on smart contracts, they are said to be durable because they record history and data on the blockchain and can continue to operate through decentralized management. Dapps are said to be transparent because anyone can inspect the code and operation logs are stored forever on the blockchain. Dapps are said to be censorship-resistant because you can communicate with them without a centralized administrator. However, once deployed (installed in a production environment), the code cannot be changed, and updating the app requires user consensus.

Dapps that operate on Blockchain 13 are used when acquiring cryptocurrency balances, transaction history, and NFT-related information from Blockchain 13. The Browser app accesses Dapps via middleware such as MetaMask and web3.js to connect to Blockchain 13, and obtains crypto currency balances, transaction history, NFT-related information, etc. on Blockchain 13 from Dapps.

Browser apps that can exchange information with Dapps are also called Dapps Browser. The Browser app managed by the cross-service management server 12 is a Dapps Browser, and by accessing a web server managed by another company like a normal browser, the information of the website provided by that web server is displayed on the client's screen as a web screen. displayed on the terminal 14.

Tipping can be achieved with applications that have a tipping function using Dapps. The tipping status determination unit 61 determines the status of tipping for a predetermined service performed by an application having a tipping function using Dapps, such as the cryptocurrency used for tipping, the timing and time when tipping was done, and the amount of tipping. , information such as the address of the person who tipped the coins and the address of the person who received the tipped coins (address of the service provider) is acquired, and the status of the tipped coins in a predetermined service is analyzed.

The display information determining unit 62 generates display information to be displayed on the client terminal 14 and/or the service management server 11.

The Blockchain information management unit 63 manages transaction information and NFT-related information of transactions executed by the application of the client terminal 14 or the service management server 11.

The service/application management unit 64 manages web services (website presentation, etc.) provided by the service management server 11 and the browser application running on the client terminal 14. The service/application management unit 64 records transaction information on the Blockchain 13 and calls transaction information recorded on the Blockchain 13. The service/application management unit 64 manages user information that is information related to users.

The client terminal 14 is a device that mainly uses web services and browser applications. The client terminal 14 may be a PC (personal computer), a smartphone, a tablet, or the like. The client terminal 14 is a terminal that makes a tip for a service (live wiring event) provided by a service provider using an application having a tip function.

The client terminal 14 includes a communication section 71, an acquisition section 72, a control section 73, and a display section 74.

The communication unit 71 exchanges various information by communicating with each of the cross-service management server 12 and the service management server 11 via the Internet. The acquisition unit 72 acquires information from the service cross-management server 12 and the service management server 11 via the communication unit 71.

The control unit 73 extracts information about the website being viewed on the client terminal 14 (site information) or information acquired by the Browser application running on the client terminal 14 (application information), processes related to tipping, and displays the display unit 74. Display control, record and call transaction information on Blockchain 13, manage wallet, etc.

The display unit 74 is a display that displays information to user A. The display unit 74 is, for example, a display with a touch panel, and the client terminal 14 has an operation unit (not shown) on which the user A performs input operations.

<Example of screens across services>
A description will be added of the screens displayed on the display section 37 of the service management server 11 and/or the display section 74 of the client terminal 14 based on the image data generated by the display information determination section 62 of the service cross-management server 12. Here, the explanation will be continued assuming that the screen is displayed on the display unit 37 of the service management server 11.

The screen shown in FIG. 3 is an example of a graph that correlates the number of views for each of a plurality of services with the amount of cryptocurrency tipped (charged).

The following describes an example in which the service provided by the service provider (service management server 11) is a predetermined event such as a concert, talk show, or fashion show, and the event is live-streamed.

In the example shown in Figure 3, four types of currencies are used as tipping coins: a cryptocurrency called xxx Coin, a cryptocurrency called yyy Coin, a cryptocurrency called zzz Coin, and a cryptocurrency called AAA Coin. There are multiple types of cryptocurrencies, and the present technology can be applied even when four or more types of cryptocurrencies are used as coins.

In the graph shown in FIG. 3, the horizontal axis represents the total number of viewers, and the vertical axis represents the number of simultaneous viewers. The total number of views is the total number of views of the event from the start of the event to the time of counting. The number of simultaneous viewers is the number of times an event is being viewed at the time of counting.

In the graph shown in FIG. 3, circles representing six events, event A, event B, event C, event D, event E, and event F, are displayed. For example, event A is a service provided by service provider A, event B is a service provided by service provider B, and event C is a service provided by service provider C. It is. Furthermore, event D is a service provided by service provider D, event E is a service provided by service provider E, and event F is a service provided by service provider F. be.

The size of the circle representing each event is equivalent to the total amount of coins tipped. The larger the circle, the larger the total amount of coins donated. In the example shown in FIG. 3, it is shown that event A has the largest amount of coins tipped.

In Figure 3, it is represented by patterns such as diagonal lines and dots, but the color (pattern) inside the circle represents the crypto currency for which the tip was made.

In the example shown in Figure 3, event A and event B are tipped with the cryptocurrency xxx Coin, event C is tipped with the cryptocurrency zzz Coin, and events D and E are tipped with yyy Coin. Event F shows that the tipping was done using the cryptocurrency called AAA Coin.

The following can be seen from the graph shown in Figure 3. For example, since the size of the circle is large in event A, it can be seen that the amount of coins to be tipped is larger than in other events. Furthermore, since Event A is located on the right side of the graph and also on the upper side, it can be seen that the total number of views and the number of simultaneous views are large. From this result, it can be estimated that event A is an event that is enjoyed by many fans.

For example, since Event B is located on the far right side of the graph, it can be estimated that the total number of views is large and that many people are viewing it. On the other hand, it can be seen that event B has a smaller amount of coins than event A, which has a lower total number of views than event B. From these results, it can be estimated that event A is likely to have more enthusiastic fans than event B.

For example, since Event F is located on the upper left side of the graph, it can be seen that although the total number of views is small, the number of simultaneous views is large. Furthermore, since the circle for event F is small, it can be seen that the amount of coins to be tipped is small. Event F has a small total number of viewers because it has just started, but it is estimated that the number of simultaneous viewers is high because it is popular, and it is estimated that it is not an event that is liked by many people, but an event that is liked by enthusiasts. I can do it.

In this way, by presenting a graph like the one shown in FIG. 3, various information can be obtained. For example, service provider B, who provides event B, refers to the graph shown in Figure 3, considers the reason why the total number of views is large but the amount of coins donated is small, and comes up with a plan to overcome this cause. You can practice.

A graph like the one shown in FIG. 3 can also be displayed on the display unit 74 of user A's client terminal 14. For example, when user A is watching event B, he or she will refer to the graph shown in Figure 3 and feel like supporting event B by donating coins so as not to lose to event A. can be directed.

Events A to F are events that are distributed in real time at predetermined times, and a graph of the tally results as shown in FIG. 3 can be presented in real time. By doing this, the service provider can take measures in real time, for example, to get more people to donate or to make the event more popular than other events.

Even if the graph is presented in real time, there is a time lag such as the time involved in processing the tipping coins (processing related to cryptocurrencies) and the time to collect the totals, so the graph will be presented at a timing that takes this time lag into account. This also includes cases where it is done.

It may be updated at predetermined intervals. A graph as the tally result can be presented to the user at predetermined intervals. Furthermore, in addition to being presented in real time, the graph can also be configured to be presented at a later timing for reference. In this case, at a later point in time, it is possible to analyze the time period when the event was the most exciting, the time period when the most coins were donated, etc., and find out the artists performing at that time period, the content of the event, etc. It can be analyzed and used for later events.

Figure 4 shows another example screen. The graph that is the screen example shown in FIG. 4 is basically the same as the graph shown in FIG. 3, but differs in that one event deals with tipping of a plurality of cryptocurrencies. The graph shown in FIG. 4 shows a case where event A corresponds to multiple cryptocurrencies. In addition, events other than Event A also support multiple cryptocurrencies, but there are cases where tipping is not done in multiple cryptocurrencies, or in other words, tipping is done in only one cryptocurrency. Also, the graph shown in FIG. 4 is obtained.

In event A, the inside of the circle is filled in with two colors (two types of patterns) because the coins were donated using the cryptocurrency xxx Coin and the cryptocurrency yyy Coin. In this case, for event A, the graph will be a pie chart, and the ratio will be the amount of tipped coins for each cryptocurrency.

For example, time may pass from the state shown in the graph shown in FIG. 3 to the state shown in the graph shown in FIG. 4. In other words, as time passes, if the type of cryptocurrency of the tipped coin for event A changes from the cryptocurrency xxx Coin to the cryptocurrency yyy Coin, the graph shown in Figure 3 changes to the one shown in Figure 4. The graph changes to something like this.

As time further passes and the type of crypto currency of the tipped coin for event A changes, a graph like the one shown in FIG. 5 will result. In the graph shown in FIG. 5, event A shows that coins are tipped using four types of cryptocurrencies: xxx Coin, yyy Coin, zzz Coin, and AAA Coin.

For example, assume that event A is an event in which artist A, artist B, artist C, and artist D appear in order. In addition, the tip to artist A is xxx Coin, the tip to artist B is yyy Coin, the tip to artist C is zzz Coin, and the tip to artist D is aaa Coin. Suppose it was.

In such a case, the popularity of the artist can be estimated from the percentage of event A within the circle. That is, in the pie chart related to event A, it can be seen that the artist corresponding to the crypto currency with the largest percentage is the most popular. For example, in the graph shown in FIG. 5, since the crypto currency xxx Coin has the highest percentage, it can be estimated that artist A is the most popular.

By displaying information regarding multiple services on one screen in this way, multiple services can be compared and considered.

<Processing related to image data generation>
The process of generating screen image data described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 6. The processing of the flowchart shown in FIG. 6 is performed by the cross-service management server 12.

In step S11, the acquisition unit 52 of the cross-service management server 12 obtains information regarding the number of viewers viewing the event provided by the service management server 11, and information about the number of viewers viewing the event provided by the service management server 11, and the number of viewers viewing the event using the tipping app. Obtain information about the tipped coins. The acquired information is supplied to the tipping situation determining section 61.

Information regarding the tipped coins that is obtained includes, for example, the cryptocurrency used in the tipped coins, the timing and time of the tipped coins, the amount of the tipped coins, the address of the person who tipped the coins, and the address of the person who received the tipped coins (including the service provider's address). address), etc., and at least one or more of these pieces of information is acquired.

The process in step S11 is performed for each service provider. For example, when presenting graphs related to five events like the graphs shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, in other words, when five events are distributed, the acquisition process in step S11 is In this case, it is performed five times.

In step S12, the coin tipping status determination unit 61 uses the acquired information to tally the total number of views, number of concurrent views, and shallow amount of tipped money for each event. When the event (service management server 11) accepts a plurality of cryptocurrencies as a tipping application, the amount of least tipped for each cryptocurrency is totaled, and the percentage when it is made into a pie chart is also determined.

For example, if information regarding five events is acquired, the process in step S12 is also performed for every five events. As a result, the total number of views, the number of simultaneous views, and the total amount of coins donated are totaled for each of the five events. The total result is supplied to the display information determining section 62.

In step S13, the display information determining unit 62 generates image data. For example, when information regarding five events is supplied, the display information determining unit 62 compares the total number of views of the five events and sets the position (X coordinate) on the horizontal axis of the graph. The display information determining unit 62 also compares the number of simultaneous viewings of the five events and sets the position (Y coordinate) of the bluff on the vertical axis. That is, the display information determining unit 62 sets the coordinates of the center of the pie chart by comparing the total number of views and the number of simultaneous views of the event.

The scale on the horizontal axis is set based on the difference between the maximum total number of views and the minimum total number of views, and the scale on the vertical axis is set based on the difference between the maximum number of simultaneous views and the minimum number of simultaneous views. Also good.

If the difference between the maximum total number of views and the minimum total number of views is large, the scale of the horizontal axis becomes large, so the pie chart for each event may become smaller. Similarly, if the difference between the maximum number of simultaneous viewings and the minimum number of simultaneous viewings is large, the scale of the vertical axis becomes large, and the pie chart for each event may become small. To prevent this, if the difference between the maximum total number of views and the minimum total number of views is large, the pie chart for the event with the minimum total number of views may not be displayed, or If there is a large difference between the number of simultaneous viewings and the number of simultaneous viewings, settings may be made such that the pie chart of the event with the minimum number of simultaneous viewings is not displayed.

The scales of the horizontal and vertical axes are set in advance. For example, if the difference between the maximum total number of views and the minimum total number of views is large, the horizontal axis will be configured to be scrollable, and the display will be displayed as it is scrolled. A graph may be generated that allows you to see the parts that are not shown.

For example, when information regarding five events is supplied, the display information determining unit 62 compares the total amount of tipped coins for each of the five events and sets the size of the pie chart for each event in the graph to be presented.

If the difference between the largest total amount of tipped coins and the smallest total tipped coin is large, the pie chart for the event with the largest total tipped coins will be displayed larger, and the pie graphs for other events will be displayed smaller, and in some cases they may not be displayed. There is sex. To prevent this, if the difference between the maximum total amount of coins and the minimum total amount of coins tipped is large, the pie chart for the event with the smallest total amount of coins tipped may be set not to be displayed. Settings may be made such that pie charts of as many events as possible are displayed in a certain size.

Settings are also made so that each pie chart is displayed in a color or pattern that corresponds to the type of cryptocurrency being tipped. If tipping of multiple cryptocurrencies is accepted for a single event, settings are also made so that the pie chart is displayed in a color or pattern that corresponds to the type of cryptocurrency tipped.

In this way, the coordinates and size of the center of the pie chart for each event are set, and image data for displaying the graph based on the settings is generated.

The generated image data is supplied to the user's terminal and/or the service provider's terminal, and graphs (screens) as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 are displayed on the user's terminal and/or the service provider's terminal. be done.

<Other screen examples>
Since the cross-service management server 12 can cross multiple services and handle information on multiple cryptocurrencies, it generates a graph like the one shown in FIG. It can also be presented.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a graph showing NFT prices for each month, for example, for each artist in the entire market. For example, the price of NFT owned by the artist and the amount of tipped money received by the artist can be presented to the user in the graph shown in FIG. 7.

The left side of the figure is the graph for January (Jan), and the right side is the graph for February (Feb). The graph for January is a bar graph showing the total value of NFTs for each of Artist A, Artist B, and Artist C as of January. Similarly, the graph for February is a bar graph showing the total value of NFTs for each of Artist A, Artist B, and Artist C as of February.

Each bar graph represents the total amount of multiple cryptocurrencies. For example, artist A has three cryptocurrencies, and the bar graph reflects the value of each of the three cryptocurrencies. Similarly, Artist B and Artist C also have three encrypted currencies, and the value of each of the three encrypted currencies is reflected in the bar graph.

The cross-service management server 12 handles cross-services, so for example, it is possible to obtain the amount of NFT that one artist has earned from different services from the information on each service. It is possible to calculate the amount by adding the NFTs received. This calculated amount can be provided to the service provider, for example, in the form of a graph as shown in FIG.

The graph shown in FIG. 8 is the same as the graph shown in FIG. 7, except that NFTs whose prices have sharply increased are highlighted. In the example shown in Figure 8, the total amount of NFT for artist A in February has rapidly increased from the total amount of NFT for artist A in January, so the highlight 101 is displayed on the bar graph for artist A in February. is displayed.

In the example shown in FIG. 8, the highlight 101 is a rectangle surrounding the part corresponding to the cryptocurrency whose price has changed rapidly. An upward arrow is also displayed near the square, making it easy to recognize at a glance that the price has increased. The display of the highlight 101 shown in FIG. 8 is an example, and other displays may be applied, such as displaying the color of the corresponding bar graph in a conspicuous color or blinking.

By referring to the graph shown in Figure 8, Artist A and service providers can recognize cryptocurrencies whose prices have changed rapidly, and the services that use those cryptocurrencies will receive a lot of attention from viewers. You can infer things like whether it was highly rated or popular. You will be able to carry out activities that make use of such assumptions.

According to this technology, it is possible to display (visualize) the status of tipping coins in applications such as live streaming. It is also possible to visualize the status of tipping across services.
