Description

  The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus capable of providing store information such as restaurants, facility information, and product information to a user terminal, and an information processing method and program in the information processing apparatus.

  Conventionally, there is a system for searching store information and product information on a website using a user terminal such as a PC (Personal Computer), a tablet, or a smartphone.

  In such a search system, when the user's browser browses the web page information once viewed by the user terminal browser, the local disk of the user terminal is cached and the user accesses the web page again from the terminal. The Web page can be displayed quickly by referring to the cached information.

  In addition, there is a cookie that can realize the same function. A cookie is a file consisting of history information such as information on the web page browsed by the user, browsing date / time, information entered by the user, etc., and is created by the website visited by the user and sent to the user terminal. When a user revisits the website, the user can be identified on the website side.

  The following Patent Document 1 discloses a configuration for storing a browsed Web page in a cache. In addition, the patent document 1 also describes that the cached contents are not browsed by others because the browsing record is cached in the cache in association with the user.

JP 2003-131929 A

  On the other hand, recently, there is usually one user for one terminal, and there are cases where caches and cookies are taken into the terminal without requiring login to a Web site. That is, when browsing a specific website and browsing that website at a later date, the user's browsing history remains in the terminal, and the website display screen based on the browsing history is displayed again.

  However, the cache and cookie remain semi-permanently in the terminal, and the expiration date thereof does not exist in the case of the cache, and it is desired that the cookie is not set from the viewpoint of providing convenience to the user.

  In such a case, while the convenience of the user is improved, there is a captive that limits the increase in the number of members who log in and use the site.

  In view of the circumstances as described above, an object of the present invention is to provide an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and an information processing apparatus capable of increasing the number of member registrations while maintaining user convenience in a website where membership registration is possible. To provide a program.

  In order to achieve the above object, an information processing apparatus according to an aspect of the present invention includes a storage unit, a communication unit, and a control unit. The storage means stores store / product information relating to the store or product and store / product identification information for identifying the store or product in association with each other. The communication unit extracts store / product identification information corresponding to the store / product information selected on the Web page accessed by the user terminal from the storage unit, and transmits the extracted information to the temporary storage unit of the user terminal. When the user terminal accesses the Web page again, the store / product identification information stored in the temporary storage unit of the user terminal is received from the user terminal, and the received store / product identification information is included in the received store / product identification information. The associated store / product information is extracted from the storage means and can be displayed on the user terminal. The control means controls the temporary storage unit so that the store / product identification information stored in the temporary storage unit of the user terminal is deleted or invalidated when a predetermined period has elapsed from the storage.

  As a result, the information processing apparatus can display the store / product information selected by the user in the past using the temporary storage unit of the user terminal, while limiting the storage in the temporary storage unit to a predetermined period.

In this case, the control means performs the predetermined operation when the web page is logged in by the user identification information within a predetermined period from the storage of the store / product identification information in the temporary storage unit of the user terminal. The stored store / product identification information is associated with the user identification information and stored in the storage means so that the store / product information corresponding to the store / product identification information can be accessed even after the period has elapsed. May be.

  As a result, the information processing apparatus can guide a user who wants to browse store / product information even after a predetermined period of time to membership registration.

  When the communication unit transmits the store / product identification information to the temporary storage unit of the user terminal, the control unit issues an erasure command for deleting or invalidating the store / product identification information after the predetermined period. The communication means may be controlled to transmit.

  Thereby, the information processing apparatus can save the trouble of communicating with the user terminal again only for deleting the store / product information.

  The erase command may include a time stamp at the time of transmission of the erase command and information indicating the predetermined period.

  The control means displays the store / product information corresponding to the store / product identification information stored in the temporary storage unit of the user terminal on a Web page accessed by the user terminal without going through the login or When selected, the communication means may be controlled not to retransmit the erasure command to the user terminal.

  As a result, the information processing apparatus can prevent the predetermined period from being reset due to the retransmission of the erasure command and the period during which the store / product information can be viewed by the user from being substantially extended.

  When the communication unit extracts the store / product information corresponding to the store / product identification information from the storage unit and makes it displayable, the communication unit indicates that the store / product information cannot be displayed after the predetermined period. The user terminal may be controlled to display together with the store / product information.

  As a result, the information processing apparatus can notify the user that the store / product information will eventually become unviewable.

  When the control means receives a command from the user terminal that requests to delete or invalidate the store / product identification information stored in the temporary storage unit of the user terminal before the predetermined period, The communication means may be controlled to transmit an all deletion command that immediately deletes or invalidates all the store / product identification information stored in the temporary storage unit of the user terminal.

  Thereby, the information processing apparatus can save the trouble of erasing a plurality of pieces of store / product information that are no longer required by the user one by one.

  The control means is configured to transmit the store / product identification information to the temporary storage unit when the number of the store / product identification information stored in the temporary storage unit of the user terminal is less than a predetermined number. The communication means may be controlled.

  Thus, the information processing apparatus can guide a user who wants to browse more stores / product information than a predetermined number to the member registration by limiting the number of stores / product information that can be browsed for a predetermined period.

  An information processing apparatus according to another aspect of the present invention includes a storage unit, a communication unit, and a control unit. The storage means stores store / product information relating to a store or a product and store / product identification information for identifying the store or the product in association with each other, and stores user identification information for identifying a user registered as a member. . The communication unit extracts store / product identification information corresponding to the store / product information displayed or selected on the Web page accessed by the user terminal from the storage unit, and transmits it to the temporary storage unit of the user terminal. When the user terminal accesses the Web page again, the store / product identification information stored in the temporary storage unit of the user terminal is received from the user terminal, and the received store / product identification is received. Store / product information associated with information is extracted from the storage means and can be displayed on the user terminal. The control means stores the stored store / product when there is no login to the Web page by the user identification information within a predetermined period from the storage of the store / product identification information in the temporary storage unit of the user terminal.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[System configuration]
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a store information providing system according to the present embodiment.

  As shown in the figure, this system includes a store information providing server 100 on the Internet 50 and a plurality of user terminals 200.

  The store information providing server 100 is a web server that operates a portal site that posts information about restaurants. The store information providing server 100 is connected to a plurality of user terminals 200 via the Internet 50, and publishes restaurant information that matches the search conditions on the user terminal 200 that accesses the portal site and inputs the search conditions. Send the web page.

  The user terminal 200 (200A, 200B, 200C ...) is a terminal used by a user (user A, user B, user C ...), for example, a smartphone, a mobile phone, a tablet PC (Personal Computer), Notebook PC, desktop PC, etc.

  The user terminal 200 accesses the store information providing server 100, receives the Web page, and displays it on the screen by a browser.

  The user of the user terminal 200 searches for a restaurant in the portal site via a screen displayed by the browser, and browses information about a desired restaurant.

  Member registration is possible for the portal site, but non-member users can also use the portal site. A user who is registered as a member can use more functions than a non-member user on the portal site.

  In the present embodiment, the store information providing server 100 can provide the user terminal 200 with a function of bookmarking information about restaurants that the user is interested in on the portal site.

  However, when a non-member user uses this bookmark function, there are restrictions on the use conditions compared to a user registered as a member.

  That is, a non-member user can bookmark only a predetermined number (for example, five) of store information, and the store information is stored only for a predetermined period (for example, 15 days) on the cookie of the user terminal 200. Store information can only be handled together (for example, by sending e-mail, deleting, etc.).

  On the other hand, in addition to bookmark registration using the cookie, the user who has registered as a member stores store information of an overwhelmingly large number of stores (for example, 10,000) as compared to non-member users. Can be stored on a database for each user, and store information can be handled one by one on the database. In addition, the user who is registered as a member can transfer the store information stored on the cookie of the user terminal 200 to the database on the store information providing server 100.

  In the present embodiment, for convenience, the bookmark of the store information stored in the cookie of the user terminal 200 is referred to as “local bookmark”, and the bookmark of the store information stored on the database of the store information providing server 100 is “online bookmark”. Called.

[Hardware configuration of store information provision server]
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a hardware configuration of the store information providing server 100. As shown in the figure, the store information providing server 100 connects a central processing unit (CPU) 11, a read only memory (ROM) 12, a random access memory (RAM) 13, an input / output interface 15, and these components to each other. A bus 14 is provided.

  CPU11 accesses RAM13 grade | etc., Suitably as needed, and controls the whole block of the shop information provision server 100 centrally, performing various arithmetic processing. The ROM 12 is a non-volatile memory in which an OS to be executed by the CPU 11, firmware such as programs and various parameters are fixedly stored. The RAM 13 is used as a work area for the CPU 11 and temporarily holds the OS, various applications being executed, and various data being processed.

  A display unit 16, an operation receiving unit 17, a storage unit 18, a communication unit 19, and the like are connected to the input / output interface 15.

  The display unit 16 is a display device using, for example, an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), an OELD (Organic ElectroLuminescence Display), a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube), or the like.

  The operation reception unit 17 is, for example, a pointing device such as a mouse, a keyboard, a touch panel, and other input devices. When the operation reception unit 17 is a touch panel, the touch panel can be integrated with the display unit 16.

  The storage unit 18 is a non-volatile memory such as an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), a flash memory (SSD; Solid State Drive), or other solid-state memory. The storage unit 18 stores the OS, various applications, and various data.

  As will be described later, particularly in the present embodiment, the storage unit 18 includes a store information database, a user information database, and a bookmark information database.

  The communication unit 19 is various modules for wireless communication such as a NIC (Network Interface Card) for Ethernet (registered trademark) or a wireless LAN, and performs communication processing with the user terminal 200.

[Database configuration of store information provision server]
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a configuration of a database included in the store information providing server 100.

  As shown in the figure, the store information providing server 100 has a store information database 31, a user information database 32, and a bookmark information database 33 in the storage unit 18.

  The store information database 31 stores, for each restaurant, the name of the restaurant and the ID (store ID) for identifying the restaurant, as well as the contents introducing the restaurant, that is, the store's PR statement, etc. Information indicating features, event information performed by restaurants, restaurant business conditions, restaurant areas, restaurant addresses, telephone numbers, menus provided by restaurants, website URLs, and the like are stored.

  The user information database 32 stores, for each user, information related to the user, that is, user ID, password, name, date of birth, email address, gender, address, telephone number, occupation, married / unmarried information, etc. Yes.

  The bookmark information database 33 stores a store ID corresponding to the store information registered online as a bookmark request from the user terminal 200 that has registered and logged in, in association with the user ID.

  Each of these databases is used with reference to each other as necessary in the store information bookmark registration process by the store information providing server 100 described later.

[Operation of store information server]
Next, the operation of the store information providing server 100 configured as described above will be described. The operation is executed by cooperation between the CPU 11 and the communication unit 19 of the store information providing server 100 and software stored in the storage unit 18. In the following description, for the sake of convenience, the CPU 11 is an operation subject.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a flow of the store information bookmark process by the store information providing server 100.

  As a premise of the operation of the figure, when the store information providing server 100 receives a search request based on a search condition (region, station, genre, etc.) input or selected by the user from the user terminal 200 via the portal site, A search result screen as shown in FIG. 6 is transmitted to the user terminal 100.

  In the search result screen shown in FIG. 6, the store information 73 is displayed as a list in the vertical direction of the page, for example, together with an input box 71 for inputting the search condition and a search button 72 for transmitting the search request. Is done.

  Each store information includes a store name, a photo provided from the store, a text introducing the store, and the like. For example, a detailed information button 74 in which a hyperlink to a detailed information page such as a menu provided at a store or a store map is set is provided in the lower right of each store information display column.

  Furthermore, a bookmark button (button to be seen later) 75 for bookmark registration is provided at the upper right of the display column of each store information, for example, so that the store information of interest can be browsed again later. When the bookmark button 75 is pressed on the user terminal 200, a bookmark request for requesting bookmark registration of the corresponding store information is transmitted to the store information providing server 100.

  In a state where such a search result screen is displayed, as shown in FIG. 4, the CPU 11 of the store information providing server 100 determines whether or not a bookmark request for the store information has been received from the user terminal 200 (step 41).

  If it is determined that the bookmark request has been received (Yes), the CPU 11 determines whether or not a predetermined number (for example, 5) of store IDs are stored on the cookie of the requesting user terminal 200, that is, the predetermined number of cases. It is determined whether local bookmark registration of store information exists (step 42).

  When it is determined that the predetermined number of store IDs do not exist on the cookie of the user terminal 200 (No), the CPU 11 sets the store ID corresponding to the store request target store information after the elapse of a predetermined period (for example, 15 days). An erasure command for deleting from the 200 cookies is generated (step 43).

  The erasure command includes a time stamp at the time of erasure command transmission (generation time) and information indicating the predetermined period.

  Subsequently, the CPU 11 transmits a store ID corresponding to the store request target store information to the cookie of the user terminal 200 together with the generated delete command (step 44).

  Thereby, store ID is preserve | saved with the deletion command in Cookie of the user terminal 200, and local bookmark registration of the store information corresponding to the said store ID is completed. Also, the store ID registered in the local bookmark is deleted after a predetermined period from the time stamp by the delete command.

  Further, the CPU 11 adds the store information corresponding to the local bookmark as a bookmark list (list to be seen later) on the Web page and displays it on the user terminal 200. In other words, the store information corresponding to the local bookmark is displayed on the browser of the user terminal 200 as shown in FIG. Displayed as an item.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the bookmark list 80 includes bookmark store information 82 composed of store names and photos corresponding to the locally bookmarked store IDs.

  In the bookmark store information 82, the space is set so that, for example, up to five can be displayed, corresponding to the upper limit number of the local bookmarks.

  A tab 81 for maximizing / minimizing the bookmark list 80 is provided above the bookmark list 80. For example, the number described at the right end of the tab 81 corresponds to the number of registered local bookmarks.

  Further, on the right side of the bookmark store information 82, for example, an e-mail transmission button 83 for transmitting store information by e-mail, an online bookmark button 84 for transferring and registering store information to an online bookmark, and deleting all local bookmarks. A delete all button 85 is provided.

  Further, the CPU 11 indicates that the store information (local bookmark) corresponding to the store ID transmitted to the user terminal 200 is not viewable (stored for a predetermined period) after the predetermined period (for example, 15 days) has elapsed. Also, for example, it is included in the upper area of each of the buttons 83 to 85 on the Web page and transmitted to the user terminal 200 for display (step 45).

  If the same bookmark button 75 is pressed again after the bookmark button 75 is pressed and the bookmark store information 82 is added to the bookmark list 80, the bookmark store information 82 added to the bookmark list 80 is deleted. Is done.

  When the bookmark button 75 corresponding to the registered bookmark store information 82 is pressed again, as shown in FIG. 8, when the user places the mouse over the bookmark button 75, a check mark at the left end of the bookmark button 75 is displayed, for example. It changes to a cross. Thereby, when the same bookmark button 75 is pressed again, the user can be notified that the bookmark store information 82 is deleted.

  As a result, when the bookmark button 75 corresponding to the registered bookmark store information 82 is pressed again, the store ID and the delete command transmitted in step 44 are not retransmitted. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the predetermined period from being substantially extended by retransmitting the erase command.

  However, as will be described later, when the all delete button 85 is pressed, an erasure command is transmitted (retransmitted) to the user terminal 200 before a predetermined period.

  Subsequently, the CPU 11 determines from the user terminal 200 whether a request for shifting the store information registered in the local bookmark to an online bookmark is received, that is, whether the online bookmark button 84 is pressed in the bookmark list 80. (Step 46).

  If it is determined that a request for shifting to an online bookmark has been received (Yes), the CPU 11 determines whether or not the user of the user terminal 200 has logged in to the portal site (step 47).

  If it is determined that the login state is not set (No), the CPU 11 changes the Web page to the login / new member registration screen (step 48).

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of the login / new member registration screen 91. The left side of the figure is a login area, and the right side is a new member registration area.

  In the login area, when a member user ID or email address and password are input and the login button 92 is pressed, a login request is transmitted from the user terminal 200 to the store information providing server 100. In addition, when the member registration button 93 is pressed in the new member registration area, the screen changes to a member registration information input screen.

  The CPU 11 determines whether or not the login or member registration is successful by the user input process on the login request or the input screen for new member registration (step 49).

  When it is determined that login or member registration has been successful (Yes), the CPU 11 stores the store ID corresponding to the bookmark store information 82 in the bookmark list 80 in association with the user ID in the bookmark information database 33. Then, the store information is registered as an online bookmark (step 50).

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 10, the CPU 11 displays a message indicating that the registration to the online bookmark is completed on the search result screen, for example, by a pop-up 95.

  When there are a plurality of bookmark store information 82 in the bookmark list 80, the online bookmark processing is collectively executed for a plurality of store IDs.

  Even when the mail transmission button 83 and the all deletion button 85 are pressed in a state where there are a plurality of bookmark store information 82 in the bookmark list 80, each process is executed in a lump.

  That is, when the mail transmission button 83 is pressed, the mailer starts up with a plurality of URLs corresponding to a plurality of store information described on the mail creation screen.

  When the all delete button 85 is pressed and a store information all delete request is received from the user terminal 200 (Yes in step 51), the CPU 11 stores all stores stored in the cookies of the user terminal 200. A delete all command for immediate deletion of ID is transmitted to the user terminal 200 (step 52). Unlike the delete command used when registering a local bookmark, the delete all command does not include a time stamp and information for a predetermined period, and is a command for immediately deleting the store ID on the cookie.

  Thereby, all the store IDs on the cookie of the user terminal 200 are deleted before the predetermined period elapses, and all the bookmark store information 82 in the bookmark list 80 is also deleted.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step 42 that there are more than a predetermined number of store IDs (Yes), the CPU 11 transmits an error message indicating that the number of registered local bookmarks exceeds the upper limit (step 53). The error message is displayed on the search result screen as a pop-up 96, for example, as shown in FIG.

  The CPU 11 repeatedly executes the above processing every time there is an action such as a bookmark request, a request to shift to an online bookmark, a request to delete all, etc. from the user terminal 200.

  By storing the store ID in the cookie of the user terminal 200 by the local bookmark process, the user terminal 200 once ends the session with the portal site by an operation of closing the user's browser or the like, and the portal site is accessed again. In such a case, the bookmark list 80 can be displayed as long as the predetermined period has not elapsed.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of the store information providing process of the local bookmark registered by the store information providing server 100.

  As shown in the figure, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the user terminal 200 has accessed the portal site (step 61).

  If it is determined that there is an access (Yes), the CPU 11 determines whether or not the store ID exists on the cookie of the user terminal 200 that is the access source (step 62). This determination is made based on whether or not the store ID on the cookie is received from the user terminal 200 during the access.

  If it is determined that the store ID is present on the cookie (Yes), the CPU 11 transmits to the user terminal 200 and displays the web page on which the bookmark list 80 including the store information corresponding to the store ID is displayed (step 63). .

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the store ID does not exist on the cookie (No), the CPU 11 transmits a Web page not including the bookmark list 80 to the user terminal 200 for display (step 64).

  Thereafter, as described with reference to FIG. 4, the CPU 11 executes processing in accordance with actions such as a local bookmark registration request from the user terminal 200, a request to shift to an online bookmark, and a request to delete all.

[Summary]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, the store information providing server 100 uses the cookie of the user terminal 100 to display the store information bookmarked by the user while preserving it in the cookie. By limiting the period, the number of member registrations will be increased by promoting user registration for users who want to continue to view store information while maintaining user convenience on websites where membership registration is possible. be able to.

  In other words, in the present embodiment, the store information providing server 100 can use the local bookmark function even for non-member users, but by making the usability lower than that of member users, the usability is good. Can be urged to register as a member.

[Modification]
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.

  In the above-described embodiment, the local bookmark is stored in the cookie of the user terminal 200. However, the local bookmark may be stored in a cache in the browser of the user terminal 200.

  In the above embodiment, the local bookmark is registered on the user terminal 200 when the user selects and presses the bookmark button 75, but the trigger of the local bookmark is not limited to this. For example, when the user presses the detailed information button 74 and browses the detailed information, the store ID corresponding to the detailed information may be registered in the local bookmark. In addition, when it is detected that the user is standing still while browsing the specific store information 73 (the scroll operation is not performed for a certain period of time), any operation or the like that suggests that the user is interested in the store information When the state is detected, the store ID may be registered as a local bookmark.

  In the above-described embodiment, the predetermined period during which the local bookmark registration is deleted is 15 days. However, the predetermined period is not limited to this, and it may be a period of 30 days, 20 days, 10 to 14 days, or the like. The upper limit number of local bookmark registrations is not limited to five, and may be three, ten, or the like. Further, the predetermined period and the upper limit number of the local bookmark may be varied depending on some parameters that are different for each user terminal 200, such as the number of accesses to the portal site by the user terminal 200.

  In the above-described embodiment, the delete command is transmitted to the user terminal 200 together with the store ID when registering the local bookmark, but the timing at which the delete command is transmitted is not limited to this. For example, a predetermined period may be counted by a timer on the store information providing server 100, and an immediate deletion command may be transmitted when the predetermined period has elapsed. In addition, for example, at a predetermined time such as 0:00 every day, an erasure command may be multicast for all store IDs registered as local bookmarks on that day. Further, at the time of local bookmark registration, only the time stamp of the registration date and time (at the time of transmission of the store ID) is stored in the cookie of the user terminal 200, and when the user terminal 200 accesses the store information providing server 100, By calculating the difference from the current time with reference to the time stamp on the user terminal 100 Cookie, it is determined whether or not the garden period has passed, and accordingly whether or not the local bookmarked store information can be provided is determined. You may decide.

  Further, the store ID on the user terminal 100 may not be deleted but simply invalidated. In this case, for example, when the user registers as a new member after the garden period has elapsed, the invalidated local bookmark may be validated and transferred to the online bookmark according to a predetermined event or timing.

  In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the present invention is applied to the store information of the restaurant is shown, but the bookmark target is not limited to the store information of the restaurant. The bookmark registration may be, for example, information on facilities such as accommodation facilities, amusement facilities, wedding halls, golf courses, or information on virtual stores that sell various products on the Internet. In addition, merchandise information may be registered as a bookmark instead of store information. As goods, various things, such as clothes, electrical appliances, household goods, and real estate, are assumed.
