Abstract
There is provided a contents' relationship visualizing apparatus including a usage history acquiring unit for acquiring usage histories of multiple contents, a users' set specifying unit for specifying a content's users' set indicating users utilizing each content by use of the contents' usage histories, a similarity calculating unit for calculating a similarity between the specified users' sets by use of a similarity index, and a network creating unit for creating a network indicating a relationship between the contents by use of the calculated similarity between the users' sets.
Claims13
A contents' relationship visualizing apparatus comprising:
- a usage history acquiring unit for acquiring usage histories of multiple contents;
- a users' set specifying unit for, by use of the contents' usage histories, specifying a content's users' set indicating users utilizing each content;
- a similarity calculating unit for, by use of a similarity index, calculating a similarity between the specified users' sets;
- and
- a network creating unit for, by use of the calculated similarity between the users' sets, creating a network indicating a relationship between the contents.
A contents' relationship visualizing method to be performed by a contents' relationship visualizing apparatus, comprising:
- acquiring usage histories of multiple contents;
- specifying a content's users' set indicating users utilizing each content by use of the contents' usage histories;
- calculating a similarity between the specified users' sets by use of a similarity index;
- and
