According to one embodiment, a system includes a hardware processor, wherein the hardware processor is configured to receive first viewing information relating to viewing a first content item by a set of users, second viewing information relating to viewing a second content item by the set of users, and action information relating to actions performed by at least some of the set of users, and to output information relating to a viewing condition of the first content item and information relating to a viewing condition of the second content item based on a first action by a plurality of users from the set of users, the plurality of users set as a statistical population when the first action is designated.

Claims (25)

1 . A system comprising:

a hardware processor configured to:

receive first viewing information relating to viewing a first content item by a set of users, second viewing information relating to viewing a second content item by the set of users, and action information relating to actions performed by at least some of the set of users; and

output information relating to a viewing condition of the first content item and information relating to a viewing condition of the second content item based on a first action by a plurality of users from the set of users, the plurality of users set as a statistical population when the first action is designated.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the first action comprises at least one of: purchase of a first product, usage of a first service, browsing or usage of a first site, and movement to or remaining in a first area.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the first action comprises at least one of: viewing the first content item, viewing a plurality of content items of a particular series, and viewing a particular content item a plurality of times.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the information relating to the viewing condition of the first content item and/or the information relating to the viewing condition of the second content item comprises information distinguishing whether the content item is viewed during live broadcasting or the content item is recorded and viewed after live broadcasting.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the information relating to the viewing condition of the first content item and/or the information relating to the viewing condition of the second content item comprises information of a difference between a viewing condition for the plurality of users that constitute the statistical population and a viewing condition for each generation of users that constitutes a part of the statistical population.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein when a second area is designated in addition to the first action, the information relating to the viewing condition of the first content item and/or the information relating to the viewing condition of the second content item comprises information relating to a viewing condition for users corresponding to the second area.

7 . A method comprising:

receiving first viewing information relating to viewing a first content item by a set of users, second viewing information relating to viewing a second content item by the set of users, and action information relating to actions performed by at least some of the set of users; and

outputting information relating to a viewing condition of the first content item and information relating to a viewing condition of the second content item based on a first action by a plurality of users from the set of users, the plurality of users set as a statistical population when the first action is designated.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the first action comprises at least one of: purchase of a first product, usage of a first service, browsing or usage of a first site, and movement to or remaining in a first area.

9 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the first action comprises at least one of: viewing the first content item, viewing a plurality of content items of a particular series, and viewing of a particular content item a plurality of times.

10 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the information relating to the viewing condition of the first content item and/or the information relating to the viewing condition of the second content item comprises information distinguishing whether the content item is viewed during live broadcasting or the content item is recorded and viewed after live broadcasting.

11 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the information relating to the viewing condition of the first content item and/or the information relating to the viewing condition of the second content item comprises information of a difference between a viewing condition for the plurality of users that constitute the statistical population and a viewing condition for each generation of users that constitutes a part of the statistical population.

12 . The method of claim 7 , wherein when a second area is designated in addition to the first action, the information relating to the viewing condition of the first content item and/or the information relating to the viewing condition of the second content item comprises information relating to a viewing condition for users corresponding to the second area.

13 . A computer program product including programmed instructions embodied in and stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium, wherein the instructions, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform:

receiving first viewing information relating to viewing a first content item by a set of users, second viewing information relating to viewing a second content item by the set of users, and action information relating to actions performed by at least some of the set of users; and

outputting information relating to a viewing condition of the first content item and information relating to a viewing condition of the second content item based on a first action by a plurality of users from the set of users, the plurality of users set as a statistical population when the first action is designated.

14 . The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the first action comprises at least one of: purchase of a first product, usage of a first service, browsing or usage of a first site, and movement to or remaining in a first area.

15 . The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the first action comprises at least one of: viewing the first content item, viewing a plurality of content items of a particular series, and viewing of a particular content item a plurality of times.

16 . The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the information relating to the viewing condition of the first content item and/or the information relating to the viewing condition of the second content item comprises information distinguishing whether the content item is viewed during live broadcasting or the content item is recorded and viewed after live broadcasting.

17 . The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the information relating to the viewing condition of the first content item and/or the information relating to the viewing condition of the second content item comprises information of a difference between a viewing condition for the plurality of users that constitute the statistical population and a viewing condition for each generation of users that constitutes a part of the statistical population.

18 . The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein when a second area is designated in addition to the first action, the information relating to the viewing condition of the first content item and/or the information relating to the viewing condition of the second content item comprises information relating to a viewing condition for users corresponding to the second area.
