BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a homepage information supply method, server device, and client for supplying homepage information to the client side in response to a download request from a client side who wants to obtain homepage information in a computer system using the Internet, for example. It relates to the device.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, various information including a banner advertisement has been provided through an Internet homepage. When the client side wants to acquire the various information, it operates a terminal such as a personal computer connected to the Internet to access the server of the Internet homepage, and the Internet homepage information is sent to the server that provides the Internet homepage. A download request is made, and the Internet homepage information is downloaded to a terminal operated on the client side.
[0003]
On the other hand, on the side providing the Internet homepage information, the Internet homepage information is updated, so that the client side is not bored and the client side is further satisfied. The contents of the Internet homepage information of the homepage accessed from the website are not changed unless updated by the operator of the homepage, and the Internet homepage information having the same contents is always provided to all clients visiting the homepage. As a result, a client who wants to visit the home page generally revisits the time when the content of the Internet home page information is updated.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Since the conventional provision of Internet homepage information is performed as described above, in order to increase the number of visiting clients and the frequency of visits, the homepage operator updates the Internet homepage information as frequently as possible. It is necessary to keep the homepage fresh at all times, but there are restrictions on the amount of Internet homepage information to be updated, and it takes time and effort to update, so Internet homepage information is frequently updated at short intervals. There was a problem that was not easy.
[0005]
The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and provides a homepage information supply method, server device, and client device that can always give a fresh feeling to a client accessing a homepage and arouse interest. For the purpose.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The server device according to the present invention provides:A server device for supplying a home page requested for download from the client side to the client side, wherein the trigger reading unit reads a trigger under a predetermined condition when the download request from the client side is received, and the trigger reading unit reads Based on the trigger, special click point arrangement file generation means for specifying the arrangement of special click points to be arranged at random positions on the basic home page in the normal form, and the arrangement is specified by the special click point arrangement file generation means Special click point embedding means for generating control information for displaying the special click point on the screen of the normal form basic home page so that the special click point overlaps the upper surface with respect to the normal form basic home page, Special chestnut Home page information supply means for supplying output information of the check point embedding means to the client side, and when the special click point is displayed on the basic home page screen in the normal form on the client side, The special click point is displayed in an overlapping position at different locations, and the content of the homepage is different because the arrangement of the special click point is different for each download request from the client side.It is a thing.
[0009]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described.
First, definitions of terms in the following description will be described. An “information provider” is a homepage provider, a “client” is an information receiver who downloads a homepage via the Internet, and a “click point” is a mouse cursor on the homepage indicated by an arrow, for example. A clickable position or area that changes to a mark. The “click point” is divided into a normal click point and a special click point PCP, and the special click point PCP is further classified into a blind click point BCP, a unique click point UCP, an interest click point ICP, and an extra click point ECP.
[0010]
“Blind click point BCP” is a click point whose presence cannot be visually recognized and the action after clicking is unclear, and “Unique click point UCP” is a click point whose existence can be visually recognized but the action after clicking is unclear. The “interest click point ICP” is visually recognized and the action after the click is clear, but the result after the action is not a constant click point due to the operation of the attached game engine, and the “extra click point” “ECP” refers to a click point that can be visually recognized and the operation after clicking is clear, but the position is changed and embedded only at the timing of “condition”.
[0011]
In addition, the “normally activated homepage” downloads a normal homepage file. And in this normal homepage file, click the same click point as a general homepage and select a program. The position of the click point does not change with every download request.
[0012]
The “conditionally activated homepage” is a homepage in which a special click point PCP downloaded under the condition and a link destination file are embedded, and the special click point PCP embedded file is a counter value of an access counter, that is, an access count integration. It is created by a trigger determined based on, for example, the end number of timing information including a value, date of access, and time.
Further, in addition to the determination of the trigger based on the timing information, it is also generated by a trigger determined by a manual method at an arbitrary timing.
[0013]
Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 is a network configuration diagram to which the homepage information supply method of the first embodiment is applied. In the figure, 1 is the Internet, 2 is a terminal operated on the client side connected to the Internet 1, and 3 is a route such as a router. The control device 4 is a server connected to the Internet via the route control device 3. The server 4 stores homepage information accessed from the client-side terminal 2 and includes main processing unit control means for realizing the homepage information supply method.
[0014]
FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram showing the configuration of the server 4. In the figure, 11 is a main processing section control means (homepage information supply means), 12 is an input / output control means (homepage information supply means), and 13 is a special click. Point PCP (a blind click point BCP whose existence cannot be visually recognized and the action after clicking is unclear, a unique click point UCP whose existence is visible but the action after clicking is unclear, and the existence can be visually recognized and the action after clicking is also Although it is clear, the presence of the interest click point ICP with the result after the operation is not constant due to the operation of the accompanying game engine and the presence can be visually recognized and the operation after the click is clear, but only at the timing of “condition” everywhere PC that is the link destination of the extra click point ECP that is embedded at a different position) Link destination file, 14 is a PCP arrangement pattern file for the special click point PCP arrangement pattern, 15 is an access count integrated value that is the number of accesses to the homepage, the date and time of access, and the like. Access counter. 21 is a normal homepage (HP) control means for controlling a normal homepage, and 22 is the end of timing information such as the accumulated number of times of access, date, and time output by the access counter 15 when the homepage is accessed. Ending number extracting function for extracting the number, 23 is a trigger reading function (trigger reading means) that reads out the ending number such as the access count integrated value, date, time, etc. extracted by the ending number extracting function 22; A PCP embedding function (PCP embedding means) for embedding the click point PCP in the home page, 26 is a calculation logic for selecting the PCP arrangement pattern file 14 based on the trigger, and 27 is on the home page based on the trigger. A label for randomly placing special click points PCP Dam arrangement logic, 32 the normal home page file, 33 is the game engine.
[0015]
Next, the operation will be described.
In this homepage information supply method, when the client side accesses the server 4 and makes a request to download desired homepage information, a homepage file having a different information content is configured and responded to each download request. It is.
Also, each time a download request is made, the special click point PCP is embedded in the normal homepage by changing its arrangement, so that the configuration content including the click point of the home page is different every time the download request is made. It provides unexpectedness and freshness to the requesting client side.
Therefore, based on the trigger read by the trigger reading function 23, the location of the special click point PCP is changed every time the download request is made, or the link destination file is changed, and the homepage information is changed every time the download request is made. Are configured to respond to the download request.
The trigger may be manually determined at an arbitrary timing and responded to the download request.
In some cases, a download request from the client side is responded with a homepage file that is not different from the normal homepage.
[0016]
Next, the operation of the main processing unit control means 11 of the server 4 that realizes the homepage information supply method of this embodiment will be described.
FIGS. 3 and 5 are flowcharts for explaining the operation of the server 4 and the operation including the screen transition of the terminal 2 on the client side when realizing the homepage information supply method of this embodiment. According to this flowchart, the server 4 first waits for a homepage download request (step ST1). When the URL of the home page is specified and there is a download request, the download request is “download request of home page with special click point PCP embedded” or “the special click point PCP is embedded in the home page on the client side after download”. It is determined whether the request is “download request for form” (step ST2). This determination is made, for example, when the last number of the number of accesses output by the access counter 15, the date, and the last number of the time is a specific number, “downloading a homepage with a special click point PCP embedded”, If it is a number other than the specific number, it can be performed by determining in advance a determination condition such as “embed the special click point PCP on the client side after download”.
It should be noted that, instead of the determination process in step ST2, either “a download request for a homepage in which a special click point PCP is embedded” or “a download request in a form in which the client clicks the special click point PCP is embedded in the home page after downloading”. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the download request form is manually selected on the server side or the client side.
[0017]
If the result of this determination is that the download request is “a download request in the form of embedding in the home page after downloading the special click point PCP on the client side”, the flow proceeds to the flowchart shown in FIG. On the other hand, if it is a “request to download a homepage in which a special click point PCP is embedded”, it is subsequently determined whether the activation is “conditional activation” or “normal activation” (step ST3). This determination is made when the access number integrated value, date, and time output from the access counter 15 are “specifically activated” when the last digit of the last number is a specific number, for example, a number other than the specific number. In some cases, a determination condition such as “normal start” is determined in advance.
Instead of the determination process in step ST3, the server side may manually select whether “start under conditions” or “normal start”.
If the result of determination in step ST3 is “Starting under conditions”, the process proceeds to the flowchart shown in FIG. On the other hand, if it is “normal startup”, the normal home page file 32 is downloaded to the client-side terminal 2 that has made the download request (step ST4). Here, in step ST2, the determination result is “Download request for homepage embedded with special click point PCP”, and the determination result in step ST3 is “normal activation”, and the above-described downloaded to the terminal 2 on the client side. An example of the home page screen by the normal home page file 32 is shown in FIG.
[0018]
The homepage screen shown in FIG. 12 displayed on the screen of the terminal 2 on the client side is a homepage top screen of “Monomono Town” as an example. In this homepage top screen, when the client clicks the “general guidance” display area of the homepage top screen, the “general guidance” screen shown in FIG. 13 is displayed. When the “notification board” display area is clicked, a “notification board” screen shown in FIG. 14 is displayed. When the “Zippo Selection” display area is clicked, the determination result of step ST2 is downloaded to the client side after embedding the special click point PCP, and the determination result of step ST3 is “normal activation”. Therefore, the “zip selection” top screen in which the special click point PCP shown in FIG. 15 is not embedded is displayed (step ST6).
[0019]
On the other hand, if the determination result in step ST5 is “Start under condition”, the “Zippo Selection” top screen in which the special click point PCP shown in FIG. 21 is embedded is displayed. In this case, the determination as to whether it is “condition start” or “normal start” performed by clicking on the “zipo selection” display area is the same as the determination method described in step ST3, that is, access. For example, when the last number of the number of times of access, date, and time output by the counter 15 is a specific number, “start under condition”, and when it is a number other than the specific number, “normal start” It is assumed that the determination is made by determining in advance a determination condition such as “
In order to determine whether the client-side terminal 2 is “starting under conditions” or “normal starting”, the main processing unit control means 11 of the server 4 and various files are stored in the client-side terminal 2. It is necessary to have been downloaded to.
[0020]
When the “notice” display area is clicked on the client side with respect to the “zippo selection” top screen shown in FIG. 15 displayed in the case of “normal start”, the “zippo selection notice” screen shown in FIG. 16 is displayed. (Step ST7). When the “bulletin board” display area is clicked, the “bulletin board” screen shown in FIG. 17 is displayed (step ST8). When the “product list” display area is clicked, the “product list” screen shown in FIG. 18 is displayed (step ST9). When the “product order” display area is clicked on the “product list” screen, the “product order” screen shown in FIG. 19 is displayed (step ST10). Then, on the “product order” screen, an “order acceptance” screen that prompts the client to select either “e-mail order” or “FAX order” is displayed (step ST11).
[0021]
FIG. 4 is a screen transition diagram by the processes of step ST4, step ST6, step ST7, step ST8, step ST9, step ST10, and step ST11 when the determination result of step ST3 shown in FIG. is there.
[0022]
Next, in the homepage information supply method of this embodiment, the determination result for the download request in step ST2 of FIG. 3 is “a download request for a homepage in which a special click point PCP is embedded”, and the determination result in the subsequent step ST3 is “ The display of the home page screen, the supply of home page information, and the structure of the home page in the case of “Start under conditions” will be described.
In the determination process in step ST3 of the flowchart described with reference to FIG. 3, the process proceeds to the flowchart shown in FIG. That is, in this case, various home page files including the home page top screen file of the “Monomono Town” top screen in which the special click point PCP shown in FIG. 20 is embedded are downloaded from the server 4 to the terminal 2 on the client side. Then, the “Monomono Town” top screen shown in FIG. 20 is displayed (step ST21).
[0023]
The “Monomono Town” top screen shown in FIG. 20 is an ordinary homepage file homepage screen, that is, the “Monomono Town” homepage top screen shown in FIG. The PCP arrangement pattern file corresponding to the end number is selected from a plurality of PCP arrangement pattern files 14 that determine the arrangement of the special click point PCP using the end number such as the time as a trigger, and the selected PCP arrangement pattern It is a PCP embedding screen corresponding to the end number in which a special click point PCP is embedded by a file. Alternatively, it is a calculation logic-related PCP embedding screen in which a special click point PCP is embedded by the PCP arrangement pattern file 14 selected by the calculation logic 26 with respect to the home page top screen of “Monomono Town” shown in FIG. Alternatively, a random PCP embedding screen in which the arrangement of the special click points PCP is randomly embedded by the random arrangement logic 27 on the home page top screen of “Monomono Town” shown in FIG.
In the PCP embedding screen corresponding to the end number and the PCP embedding screen involving the calculation logic, the link destination file is fixedly determined in advance only when the PCP arrangement pattern file 14 is used. The linked file is associated with the PCP.
In the random PCP embedding screen, the link destination file is also randomly selected, and the randomly selected link destination file is associated with the randomly embedded special click point PCP.
[0024]
Here, the embedding of the special click point PCP in the home page top screen of “Monomono Town” shown in FIG. 12 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. FIG. 6 shows a normal case where the determination result of step ST2 shown in the flowchart of FIG. 3 is “a download request for a homepage in which a special click point PCP is embedded”, and the determination result of step ST3 is “activation under conditions”. It is explanatory drawing about embedding of special click point PCP with respect to a homepage. The embedding of the special click point PCP in the “Monomono Town” home page top screen shown in FIG. 12 is as follows. For the download request from the client side, as shown in FIG. , Determine the number of tails such as time, execute “condition start” determination, and use the number of tails as a trigger to set the PCP placement pattern file 14 and PCP link destination file 13 of the special click point PCP to be embedded in a normal homepage decide. In the case of random placement of special click point PCP and PCP link destination file, a PCP placement file is generated by the calculation logic 26 and random placement logic 27. Then, a file is created by embedding the special click point PCP in the normal home page file 32 by the arrangement of the special click point PCP by the determined PCP arrangement pattern file or the generated PCP arrangement file, and the special click point PCP or PCP A file on the homepage top screen of “Monomono Town” arranged so that homepage information such as a link destination file differs according to the trigger is downloaded to the terminal 2 on the client side.
As a result, the screen shown in FIG. 20 on which the special click point PCP is arranged is displayed on the terminal 2 on the client side.
It should be noted that the execution of “condition start” can be performed manually at an arbitrary timing.
[0025]
Returning to FIG. 5, after step ST21, it is determined whether the click on the client side with respect to the screen shown in FIG. 20 displayed by the download is “normal click” or “PCP click” (step ST22).
“Normal click” refers to a normal click area click in which the area or position can be visually recognized, the position is changed, and the special click point PCP is not embedded. Click with explicit content. “PCP click” refers to a click on a click area (BCP, blind click point) whose position and presence cannot be visually recognized, or a menu or operation (information contents) obtained when a click can be confirmed but exists. The click area (UCP, unique click point) that cannot be confirmed in advance, or the position and existence can be visually confirmed, and the menu and operation (information content) obtained when clicked can be confirmed in advance. A click area where the operation result is not constant depending on the function “click on the interest click point ICP”, or a click area where the position and presence can be visually confirmed and the menu and operation (information content) obtained when the click is performed can be confirmed in advance. Is "under conditions" A click on a click point "extra click point ECP" that everywhere in position is embedded changed.
[0026]
When the determination result in step ST22 is “normal click”, that is, when a click is performed on the normal click area on the client side, the special click point PCP embedded in the “Monomono Town” top screen shown in FIG. Turn off. If the clicked normal click area is a click area for “general guidance”, the screen shown in FIG. 13 is displayed. If the clicked normal click area is the content “zipo selection”, the “zipo selection” screen shown in FIG. 21 is displayed (step ST23).
[0027]
A special click point PCP may be embedded in the top screen of the “Zippo Selection”, and the top screen of the “Zippo Selection” shown in FIG. 21 shows a screen on which the special click point PCP is arranged. . Then, it is determined whether the click performed by the client side on the top screen shown in FIG. 21 is “normal click” or “PCP click” (step ST24). If it is “normal click”, the embedded special click point PCP is deleted, and the top screen of “Zippo Selection” in which the special click point PCP shown in FIG. A normal “Zippo Selection” screen in which the special click points PCP up to 19 are not embedded is displayed.
[0028]
On the other hand, if the determination result in step ST24 is “PCP click”, whether the PCP click is a click of an empty special click point PCP, a special click point PCP for a banner advertisement, or a simple game. Clicking on an empty special click point PCP, depending on whether it is a special click point PCP for a certain odd change banner advertising game, or a special click point PCP for a sweepstakes quiz For example, the top screen of “Zippo Selection” in FIG. 15 shown in FIG. 3 in which the embedding invalidation process is activated and the special click point PCP is deleted is displayed. If the special click point PCP for the banner advertisement is clicked, a banner advertisement screen as shown in FIG. 22 is displayed (step ST25). If the special click point PCP for a simple game is clicked, a simple game screen as shown in FIG. 23 is displayed (step ST26). If the special click point PCP for the probability variation banner advertisement game is clicked, the probability variation banner advertisement game screen is displayed (step ST31). If the special click point PCP for the sweepstakes quiz is clicked, a sweepstakes quiz screen is displayed (step ST32). The screen shown in FIG. 23 shows “a card game that is“ winning when the same thing is assigned ””.
[0029]
On the other hand, if the determination result in step ST22 is “PCP click”, that is, if a click is performed on the special click point PCP on the “Monomono Town” top screen in FIG. Whether it is a click on a click point PCP, a special click point PCP for a banner ad, a special click point PCP for a simple game, a special click point PCP for a probable banner ad game, or even Depending on whether it is a special click point PCP for the sweepstakes quiz, if it is a click of an empty special click point PCP, the special click point PCP is deleted and the "Monomono Town" home page of FIG. 12 shown in step ST4 of FIG. Show top screen That. If the special click point PCP for the banner advertisement is clicked, a banner advertisement screen as shown in FIG. 22 is displayed (step ST27). If the special click point PCP for a simple game is clicked, a simple game screen as shown in FIG. 23 is displayed (step ST28). If the special click point PCP for the probability variation banner advertisement game is clicked, the probability variation banner advertisement game screen is displayed (step ST35). If the special click point PCP for the sweepstakes quiz is clicked, a sweepstakes quiz screen is displayed (step ST36). Here, the probability variation banner advertisement game is embedded with the game engine 33 and downloaded along with the interest click point ICP. In this probability-changing banner advertising game, for example, the images of the divided screens are rotated, and the logic which is the game engine 33 is involved to select the images of the respective screens, and the selected result is specified. The game is “winning” only when it is a combination of the above, and “missing” when it is a combination other than the specific combination. In this case, the logic can be involved to change the probability of “winning”.
FIG. 3 shows step ST4 in FIG. 3 in which the special click point PCP is deleted after the banner advertisement screen is displayed, the easy game screen is displayed, the probability variation banner advertisement game screen is displayed, or the sweepstakes quiz screen is displayed. The homepage top screen of 12 “Monomono Town” is displayed.
[0030]
7 shows the home page top screen of “Monomono Town”, which is embedded in the home page information such as the special click point PCP and PCP link destination file of FIG. It is a screen transition diagram showing which screen is transitioned to when a “Zippo Selection” top screen in which homepage information such as a click point PCP or a PCP link destination file is embedded is clicked.
[0031]
Next, in the determination process of step ST2 of the flowchart described with reference to FIG. 3, the download request is shown in FIG. 8 when the download request is “a download request in the form of embedding the special click point PCP on the client side after downloading”. A flowchart will be described.
That is, when there is a download request in the form of embedding the special click point PCP on the home page on the client side after the download, the server 4 sends to the terminal 2 that issued the download request on the client side the access count integrated value of the access counter 15 and the date , Number of tails such as time, calculation logic 26, random placement logic 27, main processing unit control means 11, etc., various homepage files including normal homepage file 32, PCP placement pattern file 14, game engine 33 To do. Then, the normal homepage screen shown in FIG. 12 is displayed on the terminal 2 on the client side (step ST11). When the client side first clicks on the normal homepage screen, the downloaded main control unit determines the number of tails extracted by the tail number extraction function 22 in the client-side terminal 2 (step ST12). . Then, “normal start” or “condition start” is determined according to the determination result. The determination conditions for determining “normal activation” or “activation under conditions” can be the same conditions as in step ST3 of FIG. 3, for example.
As a result, in the case of “normal start”, the normal homepage screen shown in FIG. 12 described in step ST4 of FIG. 3 is displayed, and the steps from FIG. 13 to FIG. Screen display is possible.
[0032]
On the other hand, if the determination result in step ST12 of FIG. 8 is “Start under condition”, the access counter 15 integrated value of the access counter 15 is displayed on the home page top screen of “Monomono Town” shown in FIG. The special click point PCP is embedded by the PCP arrangement pattern file 14 selected by using the end number such as date, time, etc. as a trigger, or the special click point PCP by the PCP arrangement pattern file 14 selected by the calculation logic 26 is involved. 20 or the random placement logic 27 performs random placement of the special click point PCP, and the special click point PCP is randomly embedded and the screen shown in FIG. 20 is displayed.
[0033]
The embedding and placement of the special click point PCP is executed on the client side after the download to the client side. If the determination result in step ST12 is “Start under conditions”, the process proceeds to step ST21 in FIG. 5 to display the “Monomono Town” top screen on which the special click point PCP shown in FIG. 20 is arranged.
[0034]
When the process proceeds from step ST12 shown in the flowchart of FIG. 8 to step ST21 of the flowchart shown in FIG. 5, the subsequent processing after step ST22 is the same as the description after step ST21 described in FIG.
[0035]
FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram of transmission / reception data sent from the server 4 to the client-side terminal 2 when creating a home page in which a special click point PCP is embedded on the client side after downloading. FIG. FIG. 11 is a screen transition diagram showing that the special click point PCP embedding function is downloaded to the terminal 2 of FIG.
[0036]
In FIG. 9, 35 indicates files such as product information, notification information, and advertisement information, 36 indicates data such as character icons, 37 indicates link destination files such as game information, quiz information, and advertisement information, and 33 indicates. Indicates a game engine.
[0037]
Next, a method for changing the position of the special click point PCP for each access on the client side and randomly selecting and embedding a link destination file and the configuration and determination of the PCP arrangement pattern will be described.
First, a first method for changing the position of the special click point PCP for each access on the client side will be described. In this first method, a plurality of PCP arrangement patterns in which a plurality of special click points PCP are arranged are filed in advance, and the positions of the special click points PCP in each PCP arrangement pattern are arranged at different locations. The end number of the access counter becomes a trigger, and the PCP arrangement pattern “one is selected and linked with the end number is embedded in the normal home page of the embedding destination together with the menu (file) assigned to each special click point PCP. For example, if the end number is 3, it is selected as the third PCP arrangement pattern, if it is 1, the first PCP arrangement pattern, etc. Fig. 27 and Fig. 28 are conceptual diagrams showing this first method. It is.
[0038]
That is, a set of PCP arrangement patterns in which the special click points PCP are arranged is determined according to the number of times of access, the date, the time, etc. of the access counter 15. This PCP arrangement pattern is determined from a PCP arrangement pattern file 14 prepared in advance. In addition, the “one set” referred to here is a set of two screens if the screen on which the special click point PCP is arranged is, for example, a “thing top” screen and a “zip selection top” screen.
The PCP arrangement pattern can be manually determined at an arbitrary timing.
[0039]
Next, the second method will be described.
The number of tails such as the access count integrated value, date, and time of the access counter 15 is extracted by the tail number extraction function 22, and this extracted number of tails is set to “n”. Then, an integer i is obtained from the random number. The calculation of the integer i is, for example, when a random number (uniform random number) is generated by a random number generation unit and this generated random number is “r” (0 ≦ r <1).
0.0 ≦ r <0.1 → i = 0
0.1 ≦ r <0.2 → i = 1
0.2 ≦ r <0.3 → i = 2
・
0.8 ≦ r <0.9 → i = 8
0.9 ≦ r <1.0 → i = 9
An integer i is calculated according to the following rule.
When the integer is 0 to 19, the interval is 0.05. When the integer is 2 digits (0 to 99), the interval is 0.01.
[0040]
Next, a calculation logic-related PCP embedding screen is described in which the calculation logic 26 is involved from the last number in the second method to select and configure a PCP arrangement pattern.
This second method is based on the number of times of access counter 15 accumulated, date, time, etc. as a trigger, and the calculation logic 26 is activated and the algorithm is involved to select the PCP arrangement pattern. The special click point PCP is embedded in the homepage, and FIG. 29 is a conceptual diagram showing this second method.
It is also possible to manually determine the trigger at an arbitrary timing.
[0041]
That is, first, a plurality of PCP arrangement patterns in which special click points PCP are arranged are determined. A PCP arrangement pattern number is assigned to each set. For example, 10 sets of PCP arrangement patterns are defined, and pattern numbers from 0 to 9 are assigned to each PCP arrangement pattern. Then, the extracted end number is “n”, and an integer i is calculated from the random number. Then, when the extracted trailing number “n” is equal to the calculated integer i, “condition start” is set, and an integer “j” is further calculated from the random number, and the integer “j” is set as the pattern number. A set of PCP arrangement patterns to be selected is selected. Further, the above processing is repeated for the number of screens on which the special click point PCP arrangement pattern is arranged.
Further, when the extracted end number “n” is not equal to the calculated integer i, it is “normal activation” and the PCP arrangement pattern is not embedded.
[0042]
Next, a random PCP embedding screen is constructed in which random placement logic 27 is randomly involved from the extracted number of tails to randomly place special click points PCP at various locations including the same position, and a link destination file is also randomly selected. A third technique will be described.
This third method is triggered by the number of times the access counter 15 is accumulated, the date, the time, etc., and the random placement logic 27 is involved to randomly place the special click point PCP on the normal home page of the embedding destination. The embedded file and the link destination file are also selected and embedded at random. FIG. 30 is a conceptual diagram showing this third method.The
[0043]
That is, first, the row direction is divided into integers k for the home page screen into which the special click point PCP is embedded, and is divided into integers m in the column direction. The cell is divided into (column number) cells, and each cell is represented by (k, m). Then, a plurality of cells are selected at random from the k × m cells, and a special click point PCP is arranged in the selected cell.
Next, a plurality of link destination files are prepared and randomly selected (a link destination file number is assigned to a plurality of link destination files). Then, the extracted end number is set to “n”, and a random number i is calculated. Then, when the extracted end number “n” is equal to the calculated integer i, “condition start” is performed, and the integers k and m are obtained from the random numbers to determine the embedding destination cell (k, m), Further, an integer f is obtained from the random number, the integer f is set as the link destination file number, and the link destination file is selected.
Thereafter, selection of cells, arrangement of special click points PCP, and selection of link destination files are repeated for the number of special click points PCP to be arranged, and PCP arrangement positions of random arrangement are generated.
Then, the above processing is repeated for the number of screens on which the special click point PCP is arranged.
If the extracted end number “n” is not equal to the calculated integer i, it is “normal activation” and the PCP is not embedded.
[0044]
Next, the configuration of the PCP arrangement file will be described.
The PCP arrangement file is composed of three elements: embedding position information, graphic file name, and jump destination link information. FIG. 24 is an explanatory diagram showing embedding position information represented by row number k and column number m by dividing the home page of the special click point PCP into cells.
Regarding the graphic file name, for example, if the PCP graphic file name corresponding to the cell (i, j) is expressed as “Graph_ij.jpg”, the relationship is as shown in FIG. That is, “Graph_ij.jpg” is the file name of the BCP (position, click area where presence cannot be visually recognized, blind click point) graphic file of the same color and size as the background color of the cell (i, j) corresponding to the embedded homepage. “Graph_im.jpg” is a unique click point UCP (existing that an abstract figure (for example, ☆, $) of the same size is placed in the corresponding cell (i, m) of the embedded homepage. This is the name of the graphic file of the interest click point ICP and the extra click point ECP.
The jump destination link information is link information (link destination file) indicating a jump destination or a movement destination when the embedded special click point PCP is clicked, and these files are also selected at random. For example, if the screen to be displayed when the cell (i, j) is clicked is “thing _ij.html”, this “thing _ij.html” becomes the link information. FIG. 26 shows a configuration example of the PCP arrangement file in the case where the special click point PCP is embedded in two cells of the cell (i, j) and the cell (i, m).

FIG. 31 shows a blind state when the graphic file of the BCP (blind click point) graphic file, the unique click point UCP, the interest click point ICP, and the extra click point ECP is overlaid on a normal home page, an abstract graphic, etc. It is explanatory drawing which shows a PCP embedding state. Further, FIG. 31 shows a click area (blind click point BCP) where the position and presence cannot be visually recognized, and a click area where the presence or absence of the menu or action (information content) obtained when clicked cannot be confirmed in advance. It is a conceptual diagram which shows the relationship of the file embedded with special click points PCP, such as (unique click point UCP), the said interest click point ICP, and the said extra click point ECP. FIG. 32 is an explanatory diagram showing a relationship between files (menus) embedded together with the special click point PCP, and FIG. 33 is an explanatory diagram showing creation of a file in which the special click point PCP is embedded even after downloading. In FIG. 33, reference numeral 41 denotes a special click point PCP invalidation processing means for erasing and invalidating the special click point PCP when the normal click point is clicked.
