JP4881205B2 - Bookmark management apparatus, bookmark management method, and computer program - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a bookmark management apparatus, a bookmark management method, and a computer program for registering and managing a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of a Web (Web) page as a bookmark (Bookmark).

  Conventionally, a bookmark function of a browser is used to save a favorite website title or URL as a bookmark. However, the bookmark function of the browser of each terminal such as a personal computer cannot check the registered bookmark if the terminal to be used is different. For this reason, recently, a server-side bookmark, which is a method of registering a bookmark in a server that can communicate with individual terminals, has been used. As a result, bookmarks that have been saved in the browser of individual terminals can be saved on the server, so it is possible to access a network that can communicate with the server regardless of which terminal the user uses. If you have one, you can use the registered bookmark. In addition, there are services that can be set to be public or private, and the movement to share your bookmark information with others is also spreading.

  Bookmarks are usually displayed in the order of registration, and categories can be created and stored when they can be classified into categories. However, when the number of registrations increases, it becomes difficult to quickly search for a desired website from bookmarks.

On the other hand, when registering a bookmark on a mobile terminal, a directory to be stored is determined based on the position measured using the meta information of the website and GPS (Global Positioning System), and when reading the bookmark A technique for preferentially displaying a corresponding directory based on GPS position information acquired at the time of access has been proposed (for example, Patent Document 1). In addition, when registering a bookmark on a mobile terminal, information indicating the position, time, and day of the week measured using GPS is acquired and stored along with the website title and URL, and accessed when checking the bookmark. A technique has been proposed in which attached information acquired at times is compared with attached information of a bookmark on a website, and items that are close to usage scenes are sorted and displayed (for example, Patent Document 2).

  The server 50 also has a registration screen information transmission unit 208. The registration screen information transmission unit 208 is configured to transmit registration screen information for displaying a registration screen (see FIG. 8) to the terminal 20A.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a registration screen displayed on the display device 34 of the terminal 20A. The registration screen is a screen for registering a bookmark. As shown in FIG. 8, the registration screen includes the URL of the target web page, the thumbnail of the image posted on the target web page, and the coordinates of the object (“A restaurant” in FIG. 8) shown on the target web page. A map showing is displayed. In addition, the title, address, telephone number (TEL), comment input field, common display selection icon, and registration determination icon of the target object are displayed on the registration screen. Among these, thumbnails, maps, titles, addresses, and telephone numbers are preliminarily described as data extracted by the server 50 from the target web page and obtained by referring to the telephone book DB 300 and the coordinate DB 302.

  In the comment input field, the user of the terminal 20A inputs using a keyboard or the like. Unlike the present embodiment, the registration screen information transmission unit 208 of the server 50 extracts an introductory sentence about the object of the target web page (“A restaurant” in FIG. 8), and the introductory sentence is preliminarily displayed in the comment field. The registration screen information may be transmitted after being input to the terminal 20 </ b> A so that the user of the terminal 20 </ b> A can add and change as necessary.

  The common display selection icon is an icon for the user A of the terminal 20 to select whether or not to announce the bookmark to be registered this time. The registration icon is an icon for determining bookmark registration.

  The server 50 also has a correction information receiving unit 210. The correction information receiving unit 210 is configured to receive correction information from the terminal 20A. The information described on the registration screen in FIG. 8 can be corrected by the user. For example, when the title is blank and the user inputs the name “A restaurant” as the title, “A restaurant” as the title is the correction information. Also, for example, when an incorrect name “AA restaurant” is described as the title and the user corrects the correct name “A restaurant”, the correct name “A restaurant” is corrected. Information. When the registration icon is clicked by the user of the terminal 20 </ b> A, comprehensive information including the correction information is transmitted to the server 50. The comprehensive information includes, for example, the user ID of the terminal 20A, the title of the object, the address, the telephone number, the comment, and information indicating whether or not to display in common. The server 50 is configured to receive comprehensive information.

  The server 50 also has a bookmark registration unit 212.

The bookmark registration unit 212 is an example of a bookmark registration unit.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of the bookmark DB 304. As shown in FIG. 9, the bookmark DB 304 stores a user ID, coordinates, address, postal code, telephone number, facility name, thumbnail, information indicating public / private information, and a comment in association with each other. The thumbnail is stored in a folder. Bookmarks for a plurality of users are registered in the bookmark DB 304.

  The server 50 also has a bookmark extraction unit 214. The bookmark extraction unit 214 transmits information for displaying an address input display screen (see FIG. 10) to the terminal 20A in response to a request from the terminal 20A.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of an address input display screen. When a user of the terminal 20A manually inputs an address or designates a position using a map and clicks a “send” icon, position information can be received from the terminal 20A. When the address is indicated in the position information received from the terminal 20A, the address information conversion unit 204 converts the address into coordinate information. In the case of specifying a position by a map, the specified coordinates are used as they are.

  The bookmark extraction unit 214 is also configured to receive position information (hereinafter referred to as “reception position information”) from the terminal 20A and extract a bookmark from the bookmark DB based on the reception position information. The bookmark extracting unit 214 is an example of a coordinate information receiving unit. A bookmark including coordinates close to the coordinates indicated in the reception position information is preferentially extracted. As illustrated in FIG. 5, the server 50 includes an SNS (Social Networking Service) registration DB 306. The SNS registration DB 306 stores information indicating the relationship between users who can share bookmarks (hereinafter referred to as “shared users”). For example, if the user of the terminal 20A and the user of the terminal 20B share a bookmark, both user IDs are stored in association with each other. The bookmark extraction unit 214 described above extracts not only information indicating the bookmark 500 registered by the user of the terminal 20A but also information indicating the bookmark 504 registered by the sharing-related user.

  The server 50 has a bookmark transmission unit 216. The bookmark transmission unit 216 is configured to transmit information for displaying the bookmark (see FIG. 11) extracted by the bookmark extraction unit 214 to the terminal 20A.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of a bookmark display screen. As shown in FIG. 11, the display device 34 of the terminal 20A displays a bookmark 500 registered by the user of the terminal 20A and a map 502 showing the position designated by the user of the terminal 20A. In addition, a bookmark 504 registered by another user who has a sharing relationship with the terminal 20A is also displayed.

  The system 10 is configured as described above. Hereinafter, an operation example of the system 10 will be described mainly using FIGS. 12, 13, 14, and 15. 12 to 15 are schematic flowcharts showing an operation example of the system 10. The following description will be given on the assumption that the terminal 20A accesses the server 50.

[Bookmark registration processing]
First, the terminal 20A displays a specific web page (step S1 in FIG. 12). Subsequently, when the terminal 20A receives an activation signal of the bookmark registration unit 110 (see FIG. 4) by the user's click or the like, the bookmark registration unit 110 is activated (step S2). Subsequently, the URL of the web page being displayed and the user ID are transmitted to the server 50 (step S3).

  Subsequently, the server 50 accesses a web page corresponding to the received URL (step S4). Subsequently, the server 50 extracts region attribute information from the target web page (step S5).

  Details of step S5 will be described with reference to FIG. First, the server 50 refers to the URL of the target web page and determines whether or not the web page is managed by the server 50 (hereinafter referred to as “system web page”) (step S51 in FIG. 14). If the server 50 determines that the web page is in the system, the region attribute information is extracted according to the specified rule (step S52). For example, in the in-system web page, the description position of the title, address, telephone number, etc. is known, so the region attribute information can be extracted based on the description position. On the other hand, if the server 50 determines that the web page is not an in-system web page, it extracts the zip code and telephone number from the text data in the web page (step S53), and uses the zip code and telephone number. Then, address information is extracted from the telephone directory DB 300 (step S54).

  Subsequently, the server 50 determines whether or not the coordinate information is included in the region attribute information (step S6). If it is determined that the area attribute information includes coordinate information, the coordinates are used as they are. On the other hand, if it is determined that the coordinate information is not included in the region attribute information, the coordinate DB 302 is referred to convert the address information into coordinate information (step S7).

  Subsequently, the server 50 generates a thumbnail for registration from the target web page (step S8 in FIG. 13). Subsequently, the server 50 transmits screen information for displaying the bookmark registration screen to the terminal 20A (step S9).

  Subsequently, the terminal 20A displays a bookmark registration screen (step S10). Subsequently, the terminal 20A accepts input of correction information (step S11). Subsequently, when the terminal 20A receives input of correction information, the terminal 20A transmits the correction information to the server 50 (step S12). At this time, the user ID of the terminal 20A, the URL of the target web page, and the region attribute information are also transmitted. The regional attribute information may be corrected by the correction information.

  Subsequently, the server 50 registers general information in which the user ID, the URL of the target web page, the region attribute information, and the coordinates are associated with each other in the bookmark DB 304 (see FIG. 5) (step S13).

[Bookmark display processing]
Next, a process for displaying the registered bookmark will be described.
First, the terminal 20A receives input of designated position information (step S21 in FIG. 15). Subsequently, the designated position information is transmitted to the server 50 (step S22).

  Subsequently, the server 50 extracts a bookmark corresponding to the designated position information from the bookmark DB 304 (step S23). Subsequently, the extracted bookmark is transmitted to the terminal 20A (step S24).

  Subsequently, the terminal 20A displays the bookmark (step S25).

  Since the server 50 extracts address information from the web page, it is not necessary to perform positioning using GPS. For this reason, a bookmark can be quickly registered together with position information. Moreover, since the address information originally described on the web page is extracted, for example, the position accuracy is higher than the position in the case of designating on the map on the display screen. When the bookmark is called, information indicating the bookmark can be transmitted to the terminal 20A or the like on the priority condition that it is close to the coordinates of the terminal 20A or the like. In addition, for example, since the web page of a restaurant has the purpose of having a customer come to the restaurant, the location information should be accurately described. For this reason, generally, it can be expected that accurate address information is described on the web page.

  Moreover, even if the address is not described on the web page, the server 50 can extract the address information with reference to the telephone directory DB 300 if the telephone number is described.

  Since the server 50 transmits the bookmarks registered by other people even if there are few bookmarks registered by the currently accessing user, the server 50 can transmit information indicating more bookmarks to the currently accessing user.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, the second embodiment will be described focusing on differences from the first embodiment.

  FIG. 16 is a schematic diagram showing a bookmark registration system 10A (hereinafter referred to as “system 10A”). As shown in FIG. 16, in the system 10 </ b> A, the user A holds the mobile terminal 21 and is located on the road 11. Then, signals are received from the GPS satellites 12a, 12b, 12c and 12d, and the current position is measured. The mobile terminal 21 can communicate with the server 50 via the Internet line 40 by wireless communication.

[Main hardware configuration of mobile terminal]

The GPS device 36 is configured to measure the current position using a signal from the GPS satellite 12a or the like. At the time of displaying the bookmark, the designated position receiving unit 122A acquires a position based on a map or the like displayed on the display device 34 or the previous positioning position (rough position), and then receives the coordinates acquired by the current positioning. It is supposed to be. As will be described later, since a certain amount of time is required for positioning, the mobile terminal 21 can acquire the current position without calculating the current position until the current position is calculated. The approximate position that can be used is used. In other words, there is a time lag between the acquisition of the approximate position and the acquisition of the current positioning position, but the process can proceed without waiting for the acquisition of the immediate position.

[Main software configuration of terminal]
FIG. 18 is a schematic diagram illustrating a main software configuration of the terminal 21. Unlike the terminal 20A (see FIG. 4), the terminal 21 includes a positioning unit 128. The positioning unit 128 has a configuration corresponding to the GPS device 36. When displaying a bookmark, the designated position receiving unit 122A receives an input of coordinates acquired by positioning following the approximate position.

  FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating an example of a display screen. As shown in FIG. 19, a map is displayed on the display screen, and the designation of the approximate position of the terminal 21 can be received. The approximate position may be a position determined by the previous GPS positioning. Further, a GPS positioning start icon is displayed, and when this icon is clicked, the terminal 21 starts positioning.

[Main Software Configuration of Server 50A]
The bookmark extraction unit 214A receives the approximate position from the terminal 21, and extracts the bookmark from the bookmark DB 304 based on the approximate position. Then, the bookmark transmission unit 216A transmits information indicating the bookmark to the terminal 21. Subsequently, the bookmark extracting unit 214A receives a positioning position from the terminal 21, and extracts a bookmark from the bookmark DB 304 based on the positioning position. Then, the bookmark transmission unit 216A transmits information indicating the bookmark to the terminal 21.

  FIG. 20 is a schematic diagram illustrating a main software configuration of the server 50A. When the server 50A is not a system web page, the address information conversion unit 204 removes the HTML tag from the text data in the web page and extracts a character string. Then, morphological analysis is performed on the character string, and the address is specified based on the display characteristics of the address. The display characteristic of the address is a display in which numerical values are continued after the regional names are continued. For example, a portion where regions are continuous (eg, “Tokyo”, “Chuo-ku”, “Nihonbashi”) is extracted as a key. Then, the numerical value portion (eg “1-3-1”) following that portion is extracted. Thereby, an address is specified.

  In addition, the server 50 </ b> A includes a statistical processing unit 218. The statistical processing unit 218 determines whether or not there is no regional bias and whether there is any category (gourmet, coupon, school, hospital, show, etc.) for bookmarks registered for each user. It is the composition. For example, when there is a municipality that specifies the municipality to which the coordinates of each bookmark belong and has more than 50% (%) of all bookmarks for each user, It is defined that the coordinates are biased toward the municipality. For example, when there is a category that occupies a ratio of 50 percent (%) or more with respect to the number of all bookmarks for each user, the state having a category bias is defined as being biased to that category. .

  The server 50 </ b> A includes an advertisement transmission unit 220 and an advertisement database (DB) 308.

FIG. 21 is a diagram illustrating an example of the advertisement DB 308. As shown in FIG. 21, the advertisement DB 308 includes an advertisement ID that is identification information of an advertisement, an advertiser ID that is identification information of the advertiser, a designated area, a designated category, an advertisement text, an image, and a URL. And are stored in association with each other. The advertiser can specify an area range for transmitting the advertisement as a specified area (transmission specified range) and request registration of the advertisement to the server 50A. The advertisement DB 308 can also specify a category for transmitting the advertisement.

  Next, the main part of an operation example of the system 10A will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 22 and 23 are schematic flowcharts showing the main part of an operation example of the system 10A. If it is determined in step S51 that the web page is not managed by the server 50A itself, the HTML tag is removed from the text data in the web page and a character string is extracted (step S101 in FIG. 22). Subsequently, the server 50A performs morphological analysis on the character string (step S102). Here, a part where the regions are continuous is used as a key, and a numerical part following that part is extracted.

  Subsequently, address information is extracted from the telephone directory DB 300 using the postal code and the telephone number (step S103). Unlike the present embodiment, only the telephone number may be used.

[Ad delivery]
First, the server 50A determines whether or not there is a regional bias in bookmark registration for each user (step S201 in FIG. 23). If it is determined that there is a regional bias in bookmark registration for each user, it is determined whether there is a category bias in bookmark registration for each user (step S202). If it is determined in step S202 that there is a category bias in bookmark registration for each user, an advertisement having the biased area as the designated area and the biased category as the designated category is extracted from the advertisement DB 308 (step S203). . Then, an advertisement having the biased area as the designated transmission range and the biased category as the designated category is transmitted to the terminal 21 (step S204).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S201 described above that there is no regional bias in bookmark registration, it is determined whether there is a category bias (step S202A). If it is determined in step S202A that there is no category bias, no advertisement is transmitted. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S202A that there is a category bias, an advertisement having the biased category as the designated category is transmitted to the mobile terminal 21 (step 204A).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S202 described above that there is no category bias, an advertisement for the biased area is extracted from the advertisement DB 308 (step S203B), and the mobile terminal 21 sets the biased area as the designated area. Is transmitted (step S204B).

  Since the server 50A first transmits information indicating a bookmark based on the approximate position of the terminal 21, the server 50A can transmit information indicating the bookmark before receiving the positioning position from the terminal 21. Then, when the server 50A receives the positioning position, the server 50A transmits information indicating the bookmark based on the positioning position. Therefore, the server 50A transmits information indicating the bookmark based on the positioning position having higher accuracy than the approximate position. can do.

  In addition, since the server 50A transmits an advertisement having a biased area as a designated area to the terminal 21, the server 50A can transmit an advertisement corresponding to an area frequently used by each user. And since an uneven area | region does not necessarily correspond with each user's address location, an advertisement can be transmitted more effectively than transmitting based on an address location.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not restricted to embodiment mentioned above. The effects described in the embodiments of the present invention are only the most preferable effects resulting from the present invention, and the effects of the present invention are limited to those described in the embodiments of the present invention. is not.
