Information processing apparatus and method for providing information

摘要

According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus receives, from a site on Internet, first messages related to a first broadcast station and posted on the site. The apparatus scores each of the received first messages based on a number of characters in each of the received first messages so as to give a higher score to first messages each with a smaller number of characters, and calculates a first evaluation value for content data being broadcast by the first broadcast station based on the scores for the received first messages. The apparatus transmits the calculated first evaluation value to a user terminal.

主权项

1. A system comprising:
a receiver device of a broadcast analysis system configured to receive, from a site on the Internet, a first set of messages related to a first broadcast station, the first set of messages posted on the site respectively by users; and a processor device of the broadcast analysis system configured to score at least a first message from the first set of messages, wherein the messages from the first set of messages comprise characters, the score is, at least in part, calculated based on a number of characters in the first message from the first set of messages and the score increases inversely to a number of characters in the first message from the first set of messages, wherein a higher scored message comprises less characters than a lower scored message, and the processor device is further configured to calculate a first evaluation value for content data being broadcast by the first broadcast station based on scores for the first set of messages, wherein the receiver device is further configured to receive, from the site, a second set of messages related to a second broadcast station, the second set of messages posted on the site respectively by the users, wherein the processor device is further configured to score at least a first message from the second set of messages, wherein the messages from the second set of messages comprise characters, the score is, at least in part, calculated based on a number of characters in the first message from the second set of messages and the score increases inversely to a number of characters in the first message from the second set of messages, the processor further configured to calculate a second evaluation value for content data being broadcast by the second broadcast station based on scores for the second set of messages, and wherein the broadcast analysis system provides the first evaluation value and the second evaluation value to a user device for display to a user.
