Abstract

There is provided an information processing device, including: an acquisition unit for acquiring information transmitted from terminals; and a generation unit for generating a community according to a similarity degree between the information transmitted from a plurality of terminals, wherein, when a plurality of different types of information are transmitted from one terminal, the community generation unit counts, for each of the plurality of types of information, the number of terminals transmitting information similar to the information, and generates a community in which a user of a terminal is permitted to participate, the terminal transmitting information similar to information which the greatest number of terminals transmit information similar to.

Claims

1. An information processing device, comprising:

an acquisition unit for acquiring information transmitted from terminals; and

a generation unit for generating a community according to a similarity degree between the information transmitted from a plurality of terminals,

wherein, when a plurality of different types of information are transmitted from one terminal, the community generation unit counts, for each of the plurality of types of information, the number of terminals transmitting information similar to the information, and generates a community in which a user of a terminal is permitted to participate, the terminal transmitting information similar to information which the greatest number of terminals transmit information similar to.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the community generation unit generates the community based on a predetermined security level.

3. The information processing device according to claim 2, wherein

the security level includes at least

a first level in which pieces of information transmitted from terminals of a plurality of users participating in a community is allowed to be different types of information, and

a second level in which it is necessary for pieces of information transmitted from terminals of a plurality of users participating in a community to be the same type of information,

when the security level is the first level, the community generation unit generates a community in which a user of a terminal is permitted to participate, the terminal transmitting information similar to any of the plurality of types of information, and

when the security level is the second level, the community generation unit counts, for each of the plurality of types of information, the number of terminals transmitting information similar to the information, and generates a community in which a user of a terminal is permitted to participate, the terminal transmitting information similar to information which the greatest number of terminals transmit information similar to.

4. The information processing device according to claim 3, wherein

a terminal transmitting information of a different type from the information transmitted by the greatest number of terminals is requested to transmit information of the same type as the information transmitted by the greatest number of terminals.

5. An information processing method, comprising:

acquiring information transmitted from terminals; and

generating a community according to a similarity degree between the information transmitted from a plurality of terminals,

wherein, when a plurality of different types of information are transmitted from one terminal, the generation of the community includes counting, for each of the plurality of types of information, the number of terminals transmitting information similar to the information, and generating a community in which a user of a terminal is permitted to participate, the terminal transmitting information similar to information which the greatest number of terminals transmit information similar to.

6. A program for causing a computer to function as:

an acquisition unit for acquiring information transmitted from terminals; and

a generation unit for generating a community according to a similarity degree between the information transmitted from a plurality of terminals,

wherein, when a plurality of different types of information are transmitted from one terminal, the community generation unit counts, for each of the plurality of types of information, the number of terminals transmitting information similar to the information, and generates a community in which a user of a terminal is permitted to participate, the terminal transmitting information similar to information which the greatest number of terminals transmit information similar to.
