Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that it is difficult to provide any regional information, and the quantity of communication is increased as information is provided. SOLUTION: Information suitable for a region is provided based on the domain or IP of a terminal which requests the provision of the information so that the contents of the information to be provided can be efficiently changed. Also, the contents of the information to be provided is restricted based on the lower rank information of the IP or the domain so that the access can be restricted and the congestion can be relaxed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to alleviation of congestion in Internet connection and selection of provided information.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional information storage and management apparatus rejects a connection or limits a destination to which information is provided by registering a specific destination by an administrator. Further, the conventional information storage and management device specifies a communication destination based on the IP address of the other party and simply sends the specified information to the communication destination.

[0003]

In recent years, there has been a problem that the load on the information storage and management apparatus in a network increases with an increase in the amount of communication. In addition, information viewers are scattered all over the world, and there is a problem that the user and the information provider cannot always be provided with information in the same area of information or language.

[0004]

According to the first, third and fifth aspects, in order to suppress an increase in the amount of communication, the least significant bit of a terminal unique number having a regionality in order from a higher bit such as an IP address. By limiting the value of the terminal for which information is to be provided, and notifying that information will not be provided in response to an information request from a value other than that value, the transmitted information is reduced from the information actually provided and the information is restricted by restricting access The load on the storage management device is reduced to solve the problem.

According to the second, fourth and sixth aspects, a character string for specifying an information distribution device or information terminal called a domain includes information having a regional characteristic such as a country name or a place name in a part thereof.
The location is estimated based on those character strings, and information is provided that matches the location to solve the problem.

[0006]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS First, an information management storage device according to the present invention refers to a device such as a WWW server which stores and manages information so as to present it to a viewer, and this device is an IP confirmation means of an information display terminal. And domain confirmation means (FIG. 1). An IP address consists of 32-bit information in the case of the current version 4.
It is designed to be assigned with a bit length of either 16 bits or 24 bits. The domain is a specification in which English character strings are assigned to countries and companies in a form separated by “.”, And indicate information indicating an organization, business type, country, etc. at the end of the entire character string. The information display terminal refers to an Internet browser or an information processing device including such a function (FIG. 1). The number specifying the terminal indicates an IP address or the like. The character string specifying the terminal indicates a name such as a domain. Then, as an example of information that differs depending on the region between the information provider and the user, the information is described focusing on the language difference.

[0007] Regarding claims 1, 3 and 5, for example,
It is well known that taking the byte IP as an example, the least significant 8 bits are generally assigned a unique value to each terminal. The lower 4 bits of the least significant byte are checked, and when this value is 15, the distribution content information is transmitted. Otherwise, information indicating that access is not possible is transmitted. As a result, the communication load of 6.25% as the logical maximum value is reduced as compared with the case where information is transmitted for all accesses, and the load on communication is reduced. In addition, a country or a company is selected using the high-order IP, and information or a language suitable for the company or the country is selected. For example, top-level 134.180.xxx.xxx or 210.xxx.
Since xxx.xxx and 211.xxx.xxx.xxx are often Japanese companies, there is a method of providing information in Japanese (FIG. 2).

According to claims 2, 4, and 6, for example,
The P address is composed of a plurality of character strings called domains.
Owns the name linked by. For example, in Japan, the end is ".jp" and in the United States, ".c"
om "," .net ", and" .org ". For this reason, it can be easily estimated from which country the terminal accessing the own information management storage device accesses. Based on the result, the information to be connected first is displayed in a language suitable for the estimation result.
For example, information in Japanese is provided to a terminal whose domain ends with "jp", and information is provided in English to a terminal whose domain ends with "com" (FIG. 2).

[0009] Also, a portion (www. ???. Comwww. ?????????????) of the domain which is called a second domain.
co.jp? ? ? Part) contains the name of the company or provider, etc., so if you are an electric manufacturer, you will advertise electrical parts if you are a garment maker, or if your provider is a company mainly in Osaka, you will advertise and guide around the Osaka area. If you are a trader, you will be able to advertise in the area by conducting Hokkaido-related advertisements, and also provide information on travel related to areas such as Izu and Nasu in the Kanto area, and Nanki Shirahama and Yoshinoyama in the Kansai area. If the language is an example, the Kansai dialect and Tohoku dialect may be changed.

[0010] A part called a third domain (INS021.
? ? ? . probaider. com INS021.
? ? ? . probaider. co.jp? ? ? In many cases, the part name contains the place name of the connection point, and the information to be provided can be selected from the place name. At this time, when the place name is not included in the third domain, the transmission information may be selected by measuring and estimating the bias of the regional information browsed by the same domain. In addition, by specifying a browser using information called a cookie, when a personal computer used exclusively in Japan is carried overseas, priority may be given to the cookie information and the information in Japanese may be automatically transmitted. Further, a translation function may be provided in the management device or its periphery, and translation may be performed in accordance with an area selected by an IP or a domain. In addition, access may be restricted using characters included in the domain. An information storage management device is a device that provides information in an Internet information communication connection environment such as a web server.
A similar method is also possible for future communication means such as IPv6.

[0011]

As described above, by restricting the end IP of the terminal that requests information provision, it is possible to reduce the traffic and reduce network congestion, and to realize the provision of information rooted in the region by the upper IP or domain. Improve the efficiency of information provision.
