RELEVANCE ANALYSIS DEVICE, RELEVANCE ANALYSIS METHOD, AND RELEVANCE ANALYSIS PROGRAM
First Claim
1. A relevance analysis device that analyzes a mutual relevance between a plurality of users utilizing a server that allows users to view information provided by target viewed users, the relevance analysis device comprising:
- a controller that;
specifies out of the plurality of users an analysis reference user who serves as a reference for analysis, and an analysis target user who serves as a target for analysis of relevance to the analysis reference user;
acquires from the server identification information that uniquely identifies the user, and registration information for specifying the target viewed user registered by the user;
based on the identification information and the registration information, specifies a route that spans between the analysis reference user and the target viewed user, the specified route being constituted from at least one component route, the specified route having an origin that corresponds to the analysis reference user and an end that corresponds to the analysis target user, each component route of the specified route having a relationship in which an end-side user of the component route is registered as the target viewed user by an origin-side user of the component route;
specifies a number of the component routes that constitute the specified route;
for each of the component routes that constitute the specified route, specifies whether the origin-side user is registered as a target viewed user by the end-side user based on the identification information and the registration information; and
specifies the mutual relevance between the analysis reference user and the analysis target user based on the specified number of the component routes and based on the number of the component routes in which the origin-side user is registered as a target viewed user by the end-side user.

Abstract
Relevance analysis devices, methods, and programs analyze a mutual relevance between a plurality of users utilizing a server that allows users to view information provided by target viewed users. The devices, methods, and programs specify an analysis reference user and an analysis target user. The devices, methods, and programs specify a route that spans between the analysis reference user and the target viewed user, and specify a mutual relevance between the analysis reference user and the analysis target user based on a number of component routes that make up the specified route and based on a number of the component routes in which an origin-side user is registered as a target viewed user by an end-side user.

1. A relevance analysis device that analyzes a mutual relevance between a plurality of users utilizing a server that allows users to view information provided by target viewed users, the relevance analysis device comprising:
a controller that; specifies out of the plurality of users an analysis reference user who serves as a reference for analysis, and an analysis target user who serves as a target for analysis of relevance to the analysis reference user; acquires from the server identification information that uniquely identifies the user, and registration information for specifying the target viewed user registered by the user; based on the identification information and the registration information, specifies a route that spans between the analysis reference user and the target viewed user, the specified route being constituted from at least one component route, the specified route having an origin that corresponds to the analysis reference user and an end that corresponds to the analysis target user, each component route of the specified route having a relationship in which an end-side user of the component route is registered as the target viewed user by an origin-side user of the component route; specifies a number of the component routes that constitute the specified route; for each of the component routes that constitute the specified route, specifies whether the origin-side user is registered as a target viewed user by the end-side user based on the identification information and the registration information; and specifies the mutual relevance between the analysis reference user and the analysis target user based on the specified number of the component routes and based on the number of the component routes in which the origin-side user is registered as a target viewed user by the end-side user. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

8. A relevance analysis method that analyzes a mutual relevance between a plurality of users utilizing a server that allows users to view information provided by target viewed users, the relevance analysis method comprising:
-
specifying out of the plurality of users an analysis reference user who serves as a reference for analysis, and an analysis target user who serves as a target for analysis of relevance to the analysis reference user; acquiring from the server identification information that uniquely identifies the user, and registration information for specifying the target viewed user registered by the user; based on the identification information and the registration information, specifying a route that spans between the analysis reference user and the target viewed user, the specified route being constituted from at least one component route, the specified route having an origin that corresponds to the analysis reference user and an end that corresponds to the analysis target user, each component route of the specified route having a relationship in which an end-side user of the component route is registered as the target viewed user by an origin-side user of the component route; specifying a number of the component routes that constitute the specified route; for each of the component routes that constitute the specified route, specifying whether the origin-side user is registered as a target viewed user by the end-side user based on the identification information and the registration information; and specifying the mutual relevance between the analysis reference user and the analysis target user based on the specified number of the component routes and based on the number of the component routes in which the origin-side user is registered as a target viewed user by the end-side user. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer-readable storage medium storing a computer-executable relevance analysis program that analyzes a mutual relevance between a plurality of users utilizing a server that allows users to view information provided by target viewed users, the relevance analysis program comprising:
-
instructions for specifying out of the plurality of users an analysis reference user who serves as a reference for analysis, and an analysis target user who serves as a target for analysis of relevance to the analysis reference user; instructions for acquiring from the server identification information that uniquely identifies the user, and registration information for specifying the target viewed user registered by the user; instructions for, based on the identification information and the registration information, specifying a route that spans between the analysis reference user and the target viewed user, the specified route being constituted from at least one component route, the specified route having an origin that corresponds to the analysis reference user and an end that corresponds to the analysis target user, each component route of the specified route having a relationship in which an end-side user of the component route is registered as the target viewed user by an origin-side user of the component route; instructions for specifying a number of the component routes that constitute the specified route; instructions for, for each of the component routes that constitute the specified route, specifying whether the origin-side user is registered as a target viewed user by the end-side user based on the identification information and the registration information; and instructions for specifying the mutual relevance between the analysis reference user and the analysis target user based on the specified number of the component routes and based on the number of the component routes in which the origin-side user is registered as a target viewed user by the end-side user. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
