Abstract

A provision device ( 100 ) in a provision system providing a user conducting activities through a service with reactions of other users to the user is configured as follows. A presenter ( 101 ) presents a current state of the reactions from the other users to the user that have occurred while the user is conducting activities through the service to the user via the service while the user is conducting activities through the service. A notifier ( 102 ) gives notice of a summary of the reactions from the other users to the user that have occurred while the user is not conducting activities through the service to the user with no intervention of the service while the user is not conducting activities through the service. Then, as the user conducts a given operation on information contained in the notified summary, the notifier ( 102 ) prompts the user to start conducting activities through the service.

Claims (17)

1. A provision device in a provision system providing a user who conducts activities through a service with reactions of other users of the service to the user, comprising:

at least one memory operable to store program code;

at least one processor operable to read said program code and operate as instructed by said program code, said program code including;

presenter code configured to cause said at least one processor to present a current state of the reactions from the other users to the user that have occurred while the user conducts activities through the service to the user via the service while the user conducts activities through the service; and

notifier code configured to cause said at least one processor to give notice of a summary of the reactions from the other users to the user that have occurred while the user does not conduct activities through the service to the user with no intervention of the service while the user does not conduct activities through the service,

wherein as the user conducts a given operation on information contained in the summary, the notifier code is configured to cause said at least one processor to prompt the user to start to conduct activities through the service, and

wherein the notifier code is configured to cause said at least one processor to calculate a rate at which the user conducts the given operation on information contained in the notice and a length of time during which the user conducts activities through the service, change a frequency of notification from the notifier code and a number of reactions of the other users contained in the summary, hold the changes in the frequency of notification and the number of reactions when an evaluation value based on the rate and the time length is improved, and cancel the changes in the frequency of notification and the number of reactions when the evaluation value deteriorates.

2. A provision method executed by a computer provision system providing a user who conducts activities through a service with reactions of other users of the service to the user, comprising:

the computer provision system presenting a current state of the reactions from the other users to the user that have occurred while the user conducts activities through the service to the user via the service while the user conducts activities through the service; and

the computer provision system giving notice of a summary of the reactions from the other users to the user that have occurred while the user does not conduct activities through the service to the user with no intervention of the service while the user does not conduct activities through the service,

wherein, as the user conducts a given operation on information contained in the summary, the computer provision system prompts the user to start to conduct activities through the service, and

wherein the computer provision system calculates a rate at which the user conducts the given operation on information contained in the notice and a length of time during which the user conducts activities through the service, changes a frequency of giving notice and a number of reactions of the other users contained in the summary, holds the changes in the frequency of giving notice and the number of reactions when an evaluation value based on the rate and the time length is improved, and cancels the changes in the frequency of giving notice and the number of reactions when the evaluation value deteriorates.

3. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium on which at least one program is recorded that allow a computer to function as the flowing in a provision system providing a user who conducts activities through a service with reactions of other users of the service to the user, said at least one program including:

presenter code causing said computer to present a current state of the reactions from the other users to the user that have occurred while the user conducts activities through the service to the user via the service while the user conducts activities through the service; and

notifier code causing said computer to give notice of a summary of the reactions from the other users to the user that have occurred while the user does not conduct activities through the service to the user with no intervention of the service while the user does not conduct activities through the service,

wherein as the user conducts a given operation on information contained in the summary, the notifier code causes said computer to prompt the user to start to conduct activities through the service, and

wherein the notifier code causes said computer to calculate a rate at which the user conducts the given operation on information contained in the notice and a length of time during which the user conducts activities through the service, change a frequency of notification from the notifier code and a number of reactions of the other users contained in the summary, hold the changes in the frequency of notification and the number of reactions when an evaluation value based on the rate and the time length is improved, and cancel the changes in the frequency of notification and the number of reactions when the evaluation value deteriorates.
