Abstract

Disclosed if an information processing device including a display control unit that controls a display of an input screen capable of inputting evaluations of an item based on a plurality of viewpoints, in accordance with a plurality of axes representing different viewpoints; an evaluation acquisition unit that acquires the evaluations of the item which are input by a user by the use of the input screen; and a transmission control unit that controls transmission of the evaluations of the item to another information processing device.

Claims

1. An information processing device comprising:

a display control unit that controls a display of an input screen capable of inputting evaluations of an item based on a plurality of viewpoints defined by two or more axes representing different viewpoints;

an evaluation acquisition unit that acquires the evaluations of the item which are input by a user by the use of the input screen; and

a transmission control unit that controls transmission of the evaluations of the item to another information processing device,

wherein the input screen includes an input region or an input space which is defined by the two or more axes and is capable of inputting evaluations based on two or more viewpoints at a time.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the input region or the input space is capable of inputting an evaluation value according to a set of coordinates within the input region or the input space.

3. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the display control unit controls a display switching between a plurality of the input regions or the input spaces through a combination of the different axes.

4. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the display control unit controls at least one of the evaluations that are input by the user with respect to an item that is different from an item, to be evaluated to be displayed on the input region or the input space.

5. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein one of the plurality of viewpoints relates to like or dislike of an item.

6. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the display control unit controls the input screen to be automatically displayed when the number of evaluations of the item of the user is less than a predetermined threshold value, and controls the input screen to be displayed by a user'"'"'s operation when the number of evaluations of the item of the user is equal to or greater than the threshold value.

7. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the transmission control unit controls transmission of a command to reset an evaluation history of the user, to the another information processing device by a user'"'"'s operation.

8. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the axes are evaluation axes that each defines a respective scale of evaluation criterion of a corresponding viewpoint.

9. An information processing method comprising:

causing an information processing device to control a display of an input screen capable of inputting evaluations of an item based on a plurality of viewpoints defined by two or more axes representing different viewpoints;

causing the information processing device to acquire the evaluations of the item which are input by a user by the use of the input screen; and

causing the information processing device to control transmission of the evaluations of the item to another information processing device,

wherein the input screen includes an input region or an input space which is defined by the two or more axes and is capable of inputting evaluations based on two or more viewpoints at a time.

10. An information processing device comprising:

a display control unit that controls a display of an input screen capable of inputting evaluations of an item based on a plurality of viewpoints defined by two or more axes representing different viewpoints, in another information processing device; and

a reception control unit that controls reception of the evaluations of the item which are input by a user by the use of the input screen, from the another information processing device,

wherein the input screen includes an input region or an input space which is defined by the two or more axes and is capable of inputting evaluations based on two or more viewpoints at a time.

11. The information processing device according to claim 10, wherein the display control unit controls a display switching between a plurality of the input regions or the input spaces through a combination of the different axes.

12. The information processing device according to claim 10, wherein the display control unit controls at least one of the evaluations that are input by the user with respect to an item that is different from an item, to be evaluated to be displayed on the input region or the input space.

13. The information processing device according to claim 10, wherein one of the plurality of viewpoints relates to like or dislike of an item.

14. The information processing device according to claim 10, wherein the display control unit controls the input screen to be automatically displayed when the number of evaluations of the item of the user is less than a predetermined threshold value, and controls the input screen to be displayed by a user'"'"'s operation when the number of evaluations of the item of the user is equal to or greater than the threshold value.

15. The information processing device according to claim 10, further comprising:

a learning unit that learns a preference of the user with respect to the item, on the basis of an evaluation history of the item of the user; and

a recommendation unit that recommends an item to the user, on the basis of a learning result of the preference of the user.

16. The information processing device according to claim 15, wherein the reception control unit controls reception of a command to reset the evaluation history from the another information processing device, and

wherein the learning unit resets the evaluation history in response to the reset command.

17. The information processing device according to claim 15, wherein the recommendation unit recommends a learning item to the user when the number of evaluations of the item of the user is less than a predetermined threshold value, and recommends an item to the user on the basis of a learning result of the preference of the user when the number of evaluations of the item of the user is equal to or greater than the threshold value.

18. The information processing device according to claim 15, wherein the display control unit controls a display of a progress rate of the learning of the user'"'"'s preference in the another information processing device.

19. An information processing method comprising:

causing an information processing device to control a display of an input screen capable of inputting evaluations of an item based on a plurality of viewpoints defined by two or more axes representing different viewpoints, in another information processing device; and

causing the information processing device to control reception of the evaluations of the item which are input by a user by the use of the input screen, from the another information processing device,

wherein the input screen includes an input region or an input space which is defined by the two or more axes and is capable of inputting evaluations based on two or more viewpoints at a time.
