Abstract

A first recording section 152 records chat data that is voice data, in association with time information. A second recording section 154 records metadata including information indicating a person who has made an utterance, in association with time information. An input image generating section 124 generates an input image for a user to create a report. A report creating section 170 receives information input by the user and creates a report relating to a chat.

Claims (36)

1 . An information processing device that supports creation of a report regarding a chat, the information processing device comprising:

a recording section that records chat data, wherein the chat data comprises voice data characterizing an utterance made by a first user;

an image generating section that generates a user interface for a second user to create the report, wherein the user interface comprises a range selection interface for the second user to select one or more time ranges of the voice data that are associated with a respective inappropriate sound segment from the utterance; and

a report creating section that receives information input by the user and creates the report regarding the chat, wherein the report comprises chat data associated with the one or more time ranges.

2 . The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the recording section records the chat data for a predetermined time period of chat.

3 . The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the recording section is a ring buffer.

4 . The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the recording section includes a first recording section that records the chat data in association with time information, and a second recording section that records metadata including information indicating a person who has made the utterance, in association with time information.

5 . The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the image generating section causes the range selection user interface to include information indicating a time period in which a specific person has made the utterance.

6 . The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the report creating section generates the report containing the chat data in the time range selected by the user.

7 . A computer-implemented method comprising:

recording chat data, wherein the chat data comprises voice data characterizing an utterance made by a first user;

generating a user interface for a second user to create a report, wherein the user interface comprises a range selection interface for the second user to select one or more time ranges of the voice data that are associated with a respective inappropriate sound segment from the utterance; and

receiving information input by the user; and

creating the report regarding the chat, wherein the report comprises chat data associated with the one or more time ranges.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the chat data is stored for a predetermined time period of chat.

9 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the chat data is stored in a ring buffer.

12 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the report includes the chat data in the time range selected by the user.

13 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more computers, cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:

recording chat data, wherein the chat data comprises voice data characterizing an utterance made by a first user;

generating a user interface for a second user to create a report, wherein the user interface comprises a range selection interface for the second user to select one or more time ranges of the voice data that are associated with a respective inappropriate sound segment from the utterance; and

receiving information input by the user; and

creating the report regarding the chat, wherein the report comprises chat data associated with the one or more time ranges.

14 . The medium of claim 13 , wherein the chat data is stored for a predetermined time period of chat.

15 . The medium of claim 13 , wherein the chat data is stored in a ring buffer.

16 . The medium of claim 13 , wherein the chat data is stored in association with time information, and metadata including information indicating a person who has made the utterance is stored in association with time information.

17 . The medium of claim 13 , wherein the range selection user interface includes information indicating a time period in which a specific person has made the utterance.

18 . The medium of claim 13 , wherein the report includes the chat data in the time range selected by the user.
