Abstract

To more effectively motivate a user to transmit information, an information processing system includes an information receiver that receives real-time information transmitted by a user terminal, a distributor that distributes the received real-time information to other predetermined user terminals, an analyzer that analyzes responses, from the other user terminals, to the distributed real-time information, an evaluator that evaluates the real-time information according to an analysis result, and an incentive provider that provides an incentive corresponding to the evaluation of the real-time information to a user who has transmitted the real-time information.

Claims (27)

1 . An information processing system comprising:

an information receiver that receives real-time information transmitted by a user terminal;

a distributor that distributes the real-time information received by said information receiver to other predetermined user terminals;

an analyzer that analyzes responses, from the other user terminals, to the real-time information distributed by said distributor;

an evaluator that evaluates the real-time information according to an analysis result by said analyzer; and

an incentive provider that provides an incentive corresponding to the evaluation of the real-time information by said evaluator to a user who has transmitted the real-time information.

2 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the real-time information received by said information receiver is a tweet for a Twitter® server, which has transmitted by the user terminal.

3 . The information processing system according to claim 2 , wherein said distributor transfers the tweet received from the user terminal to the Twitter® server.

4 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein said analyzer analyzes the number of times the other user terminals transfer the real-time information distributed by said distributor.

5 . The information processing system according to claim 4 , wherein if the number of times is large, said evaluator highly evaluates the real time information.

6 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein said analyzer analyzes replies, from the other user terminals, to the real-time information distributed by said distributor.

7 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein

said analyzer extracts a positive reply from replies, from the other user terminals, to the real-time information distributed by said distributor, and

if the number of positive replies is large, said evaluator highly evaluates the real-time information.

8 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein said incentive provider provides an incentive to the user by adding, to a point card of the user, points corresponding to the evaluation of the real-time information.

9 . An information processing method comprising:

receiving real-time information transmitted by a user terminal;

distributing the real-time information received in the receiving to other predetermined user terminals;

analyzing responses, from the other user terminals, to the real-time information distributed in the distributing;

evaluating the real-time information according to an analysis result in the analyzing; and

providing an incentive corresponding to the evaluation of the real-time information in the evaluating to a user who has transmitted the real-time information.

10 . A storage medium storing an information processing program for causing a computer to execute:

receiving real-time information transmitted by a user terminal;

distributing the real-time information received in the receiving to other predetermined user terminals;

analyzing responses, from the other user terminals, to the real-time information distributed in the distributing;

evaluating the real-time information according to an analysis result in the analyzing; and

providing an incentive corresponding to the evaluation of the real-time information in the evaluating to a user who has transmitted the real-time information.
