Abstract

A computer-readable recording medium stores an information verification program for causing a computer to execute a process. The process includes: acquiring posted information that includes first information which is text information, second information which is at least one of image information and audio information, and metadata of the second information; specifying an event that occurs, based on the first information; specifying an influence range that indicates a range of at least one of a geographical influence and a temporal influence by the event; and calculating a first reliability level of the posted information based on the influence range and the metadata.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing an information verification program for causing a computer to execute a process comprising:
acquiring posted information that includes first information which is text information, second information which is at least one of image information and audio information, and metadata of the second information, the metadata including a creation position at which the second information is created and a creation time at which the second information is created; specifying an event that occurs, by extracting a word from the first information and collating the word with predetermined words indicating a plurality of events; determining a tense of the first information; specifying an occurrence range as an influence range that indicates a range of at least one of a geographical influence and a temporal influence by the event based on influence information including geographic mesh data where each mesh is associated with a risk value and corresponding to the event acquired from an information source other than the posted information, wherein, in a case where the tense of the first information is a past tense, the occurrence range at the creation time is specified, and in a case where the tense of the first information is a present tense, the occurrence range at a posting time at which the posted information is posted is specified; identifying meshes from the geographic mesh data whose risk value exceeds a threshold determined based on the acquired physical parameter value, wherein a set of the identified meshes constitutes the occurrence range; calculating a shortest distance between the occurrence range and the creation position; and calculating a first reliability level of the posted information such that the first reliability becomes higher as the shortest distance becomes shorter.

2 . The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1 , the process further comprising:
calculating a second reliability level of the posted information based on a distance between the creation position and a posting position at which the posted information is posted; and calculating a total reliability level of the posted information based on the first reliability level and the second reliability level.

3 . The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 2 ,
wherein the metadata includes a creation time at which the second information is created, the process further comprising: calculating a third reliability level of the posted information based on a difference between the creation time and a posting time at which the posted information is posted, and the total reliability level is calculated based on the first reliability level, the second reliability level, and the third reliability level.

4 . An information processing apparatus comprising:
a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to: acquire posted information that includes first information which is text information, second information which is at least one of image information and audio information, and metadata of the second information, the metadata including a creation position at which the second information is created and a creation time at which the second information is created; specify an event that occurs by extracting a word from the first information and collating the word with predetermined words indicating a plurality of events; determining a tense of the first information; specify an occurrence range as an influence range that indicates a range of at least one of a geographical influence and a temporal influence by the event based on influence information including geographic mesh data where each mesh is associated with a risk value and corresponding to the event acquired from an information source other than the posted information, wherein, in a case where the tense of the first information is a past tense, the occurrence range at the creation time is specified, and in a case where the tense of the first information is a present tense, the occurrence range at a posting time at which the posted information is posted is specified; identifying meshes from the geographic mesh data whose risk value exceeds a threshold determined based on the acquired physical parameter value, wherein a set of the identified meshes constitutes the occurrence range; calculate a shortest distance between the occurrence range and the creation position; and calculate a first reliability level of the posted information such that the first reliability becomes higher as the shortest distance becomes shorter.

5 . An information processing system comprising:
a first information processing apparatus configured to include a first memory and a first processor that is coupled with the first memory and receives posting of posted information that includes first information which is text information and second information which is at least one of image information and audio information, and displays the first information and the second information on a posting screen, the metadata including a creation position at which the second information is created and a creation time at which the second information is created; and a second information processing apparatus configured to include a second memory and a second processor that is coupled with the second memory and acquires the posted information from the first information processing apparatus, specifies an event that occurs by extracting a word from the first information and collating the word with predetermined words indicating a plurality of events, determines a tense of the first information, specifies an occurrence range as an influence range that indicates a range of at least one of a geographical influence and a temporal influence by the event based on influence information including geographic mesh data where each mesh is associated with a risk value and corresponding to the event acquired from an information source other than the posted information, identifies meshes from the geographic mesh data whose risk value exceeds a threshold determined based on the acquired physical parameter value, wherein a set of the identified meshes constitutes the occurrence range, calculates a shortest distance between the occurrence range and the creation position, and calculates a first reliability level of the posted information such that the first reliability becomes higher as the shortest distance becomes shorter.
