  However, in the above-described conventional SNS, the visit history remains just by browsing the articles, diaries, comments, etc. of other users. As a result, there was a problem that the community between users could not be expanded efficiently.

  For example, if you are an SNS beginner, when you refer to an article or diary of a person you do not know, you feel anxious about your visit history remaining, and you cannot easily refer to another person's article or diary. .

  Also, not only for SNS beginners, even veteran users, it is difficult to understand whether other users are friendly people, so write comments on articles of users you do not know The current situation is that he is hesitant, cannot actively exchange opinions, and has not expanded his community.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems caused by the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a display method and a display program capable of efficiently expanding a community between users.

  In order to solve the above-described problems and achieve the object, this display method is a display method of a system including a server device that provides SNS (Social Networking Service) and a terminal device of a user of the SNS, The server device stores a login status of a user belonging to the SNS in a storage device, and stores the information in the storage device when the first user refers to an article created by a second user. Determining whether the second user is recruiting friends based on the logged-in status of the second user and the second user is recruiting friends If it is determined, the information processing device includes a step of displaying information indicating that the second user is recruiting friends on the terminal device of the first user.

  According to this display method, based on the login status of the user, it is determined whether or not the user is recruiting a friend. If so, information indicating that the friend is recruited. Is displayed, the user can easily determine whether other users are recruiting friends, and can refer to articles and diaries on the site with peace of mind. As a result, it is possible to easily find other users who have a common hobby, interest, etc., and to efficiently expand the community between users.

  Exemplary embodiments of a display method and a display program according to the present invention are explained in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  First, features of the SNS system according to the first embodiment will be described. In the SNS system according to the first embodiment, when the user terminal 106 of the SNS system accesses the server apparatus 100, a mark that can determine whether other users are recruiting friends from the login status of the user. Display.

  Thus, since the friend mark is displayed, the user can easily determine whether other users are recruiting friends, and can refer to articles and diaries on the site with peace of mind. As a result, it is possible to easily find other users who have a common hobby, interest, etc., and to efficiently expand the community between users.

  Next, the configuration of the SNS system according to the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of an SNS system according to the first embodiment. As shown in the figure, the SNS system includes an SNS server device 100 that provides a service and a terminal device 106 that uses the SNS system. The SNS server device 100 and the terminal device 106 are connected via the Internet 1.

  The SNS server device 100 is a device that displays a friend mark on the terminal device 106. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the SNS server device 100 includes a friend determination processing unit 101, a login information management unit 102, a control unit 103, a user information storage unit 104, and a browser display processing unit 105.

  The user information storage unit 104 is a unit (storage unit) that stores various data necessary for determining whether the user is recruiting friends. The user information storage unit 104 includes profile information TBL 104a, friends TBL 104b, diary TBL 104c, and community TBL 104d.

  The profile information TBL 104a is a table that stores information related to the user's profile. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a data structure of the profile information TBL 104a. As shown in FIG. 2, the profile information TBL 104a includes a “nickname” indicating a handle name and the like in the SNS system, a “subscription date”, “friend flag”, “last login date”, “last login date” ”And“ average login interval ”.

  “Friend flag” is a value set by the friend determination processing unit 101. If the user determined by the SNS system is recruiting a friend, ON is stored. If the user is not recruiting a friend, OFF is stored. It is means to do.

  “Last login date and time” stores the date and time when the user last logged in to the SNS server device 100, and “Last login date and time” indicates the date and time when the user logged into the SNS server device 100 immediately before the last login date and time (last login) This is a means for storing the previous day of the date and time.

  The “average login interval” indicates an average interval at which a user logs into the SNS server device 100, and is a value calculated based on the last login date / time, the previous login date / time, and the past login average value of the user.

  The friend TBL 104b is a table that stores information related to the user's friend application. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a data structure of the friend TBLTBL 104b. As shown in FIG. 3, this friend TBL 104 b has an “applicant” indicating a user who wants to become a friend, an “applicant” indicating another user who accepts the applicant as a friend, and an approval for a request to become a friend. “Approval” indicating the situation and “request date” indicating the date when the applicant made a request to the application destination to become a friend are stored.

  “Approve” is “OK” when the user stored in the “application destination” of the friend TBL 104 b accepts “applicant” who is another user other than himself as a friend, and is not accepted as a friend Becomes “NG”.

  In addition, if “OK” or “NG” is not stored in the “Approval” item, it means that “Applicant” who is another user other than yourself is accepted as a friend. Indicates that the decision has not been made.

  The diary TBL 104c is a table that stores information related to a diary opened and described by the user in the SNS system. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of the data structure of the diary TBL 104c. As shown in FIG. 4, the diary TBL 104c includes a “nickname” indicating a handle name in the SNS system, a “diary name” opened by the user in the SNS system, and a “recent name” indicating the title of the opened diary. "Diary title" is memorized.

  The community TBL 104d is a table that stores information related to the community registered by the user. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a data structure of the community TBL 104d. As shown in FIG. 5, the community TB 104d stores a “nickname” indicating a handle name of the user in the SNS system and a “participating community ID” indicating a community name in the SNS system registered by the user. To do.

  Here, the setting of the friend flag performed by the friend determination processing unit 101 will be described. The friend determination processing unit 101 determines whether or not the user as the determination target is recruiting friends based on the login status of the user as the determination target stored in the user information storage unit 104. If it is determined that the friend flag is recruited, the friend flag is set to ON. If it is determined that the friend is not recruited, the friend flag is set to OFF.

  The determination method of the friend determination processing unit 101 is based on information obtained from the profile information TBL 104a and friend TBL 104b of the user to be determined, the recent login status, the status of the friend application, and the person who refused the application. The determination is made based on whether or not the person is a person (for example, the first applicant, the person who needs to apply for all users).

  First, the friend determination processing unit 101 determines whether the determination target user has recently logged in to the SNS server device 100. Recently, even if a user who has not logged in accepts an application requesting that he / she wants to be a friend from the user, the friend flag stored in the friend TBL 104b is turned OFF because the possibility of making a friend is low.

  To determine whether the user has logged in recently, the friend determination processing unit 101 acquires the nickname of the user whose friend flag is ON from the profile information TBL 104a (for example, the nickname shown in FIG. 2 is “Azalea”), and the average login interval And the record of the last login date is extracted.

  Next, the friend determination processing unit 101 refers to whether the date and time obtained by adding a value obtained by multiplying the average login interval by an arbitrary number with respect to the last login date and time has reached the current date and time, and if the current date and time has been reached ( For example (average login interval × 3 (arbitrary number) + last login date ≧ current date)), the friend flag is updated to OFF, assuming that the corresponding user has not logged in recently.

  On the other hand, when the current date / time has not been reached (for example, (average login interval × 3 (arbitrary number) + last login date / time <current date / time)), the friend determination processing unit 101 determines that the user has logged in recently.

  However, there is a possibility that the determination target user has left the approval request despite having recently logged in. Therefore, the friend determination processing unit 101 continues to determine whether or not the approval request is left unattended.

  A user who has left an approval request is not likely to be a friend because he or she has left an approval requesting that the user wants to be a friend despite having logged in recently. The processing unit 101 turns off the corresponding friend flag.

  Here, in order to determine whether the user has left the approval request, the friend determination processing unit 101 determines whether the user has recently logged in from the profile information TBL 104a (the nickname shown in FIG. )) The same nickname as the record nickname is stored in the application destination, the approval information is “blank”, and the date of the friend request date is the oldest (for example, applicant: Fuji / application destination: Tsuji as shown in FIG. 3). / Request date: 2008.2.25) is extracted from the friend TBL 104b.

  Then, the friend determination processing unit 101 adds “1” to the extracted oldest request date (added “1” to exclude the previous day from the determination target), and the current date and time have been reached. If the current date / time has not been reached (for example, (the oldest request date + 1 ≦ current date / time)), a predetermined period has elapsed since the request for the friend application, and the friend application has been left unattended. The friend flag of the corresponding profile information TBL 104a is set to OFF.

  On the other hand, if the current date / time has been reached (for example, (the oldest request date + 1> current date / time)), the predetermined period has not elapsed since the day when the friend application was requested, Will not leave.

  Next, the friend determination processing unit 101 determines whether the user has logged in recently and has not left the friend application request, but has not ignored the friend application request. If the user ignores the approval request, it is unlikely that another user wants to be a friend, so the corresponding friend flag is set to OFF.

  To determine whether the user ignores the approval request, first, the friend determination processing unit 101 determines whether the friend application is left unattended (as shown in FIG. 3, applicant: Fuji / application destination: azalea / A record having the same nickname name as the application destination (Azalea) of request date: 2008.2.25) is acquired from the profile information TBL 104a.

  Next, the friend determination processing unit 101 acquires the previous login date and time from the acquired record, and the acquired date and time is the date of request for the oldest friend application stored in the record for which it is determined whether the friend application is left unattended. Refer to the friend TBL104b to see if it has reached (2008.2.25), and if the previous login date has not been reached (for example, (the oldest request date <the previous login date)), the friend application is ignored. Update the friend flag to OFF.

  On the other hand, when the previous login date / time has been reached (for example, (oldest request date> last login date / time)), the friend determination processing unit 101 determines that the determination target user has not ignored the friend application.

  Next, the friend determination processing unit 101 determines what kind of person's friend application the user who has been determined has been rejected (determines what person Tsuji rejected the friend application is) . If the user (azalea) rejects the application for the first time, the friend determination processing unit 101 determines that the user (azalea) to be judged is not recruiting friends and turns off the friend flag. To.

  The method for determining whether or not the first applicant has been rejected is the same as the “application destination” stored in the record in which the friend determination processing unit 101 determines whether or not the friend TBL 104b is recruiting a friend (the application destination). Record in which “Azalea” is stored) and all records for a specific period in which the approval is “NG” (for example, applicant / Hanako, application destination / Azalea, request date / March 1, 2008 shown in FIG. 3) And the applicant / Hanao, the application destination / Azalea, the request date / March 10, 2008 record).

  Next, the friend determination processing unit 101 uses a nickname (for example, the application destination shown in FIG. 3) other than the user (Azalea) that the applicant (Hanao, Hanako) of the extracted record is the same and the “application destination” has judged. Is a record in which “Taro” is stored, and all records in which OK and NG are described in the approval items are extracted from the friend TBL104b, and the same as the applicant (Hanao, Hanako) stored in the record Reference is made to whether the record corresponding to the applicant exists in the friend TBL 104b.

  On the other hand, when the target record (for example, the record shown in FIG. 3 where the application destination is “Taro” and the applicant is (Hanako or Hanao)) exists in the friend TBL 104b, the friend determination processing unit 101 It is determined whether the applicant (Hanako, Hanao) of this record is a person requiring attention.

  If a user refuses a cautionary person who is applying for a friend to all users in the SNS system, it does not mean that a friend is not recruited, and the user (azalea) friend to be judged The flag remains ON.

  Whether or not the person is a person who needs attention is determined by whether the friend determination processing unit 101 determines whether the ratio of rejected applicants (Hanako, Hanao) stored in the record has reached the average rejection rate of the entire SNS system. If the average rejection rate of the entire system has not been reached (for example, the average rejection rate of the entire system ≧ (number of applicants NG / number of applicants OK + N cases)) The friend flag of the user (azalea) to be determined is turned off.

  On the other hand, if the rejection rate of the entire system has been reached, the friend determination processing unit 101 determines that a so-called cautionary person (Hanako and Hanao were cautionary persons) has been rejected, and the friend determination processing unit 101 determines the user (azalea) Leave the friend flag on.

  The friend determination processing unit 101 repeats the above-described determination processing until the processing for all corresponding users is completed.

  Here, the average rejection rate of the entire system will be described. The average rejection rate of the entire system is calculated in advance as a rejection rate of friend applications in the entire SNS system before the SNS server device 100 logs into the terminal device 106.

  Specifically, the SNS server device 100 extracts all records in which the approval information is recorded as “OK” and “NG” from the profile information TBL 104a, and with respect to the total number of the extracted OK cases and NG cases. The ratio of the number of NG accounts (number of NG / (OK number + NG number) × 100) is stored as the average rejection rate of the whole system at the time of friend application.

  The login information management unit 102 calculates the value of the average login interval stored in the profile information TBL 104a from three types, that is, the last login date and time, the previous login date and time, and the average login value for the user who is the target of determination from the last entry to the previous login date and time And set the average login interval.

  Specifically, the login information management unit 102 acquires the values of the last login date and the previous login date of the corresponding user from the profile information TBL 104a, the value obtained by subtracting the previous login date from the last login date, and the user concerned (For example, average login interval = ((last login date-last login date) + average) / 2).

  Next, the login information management unit 102 updates the obtained value as an average login interval value to the average login interval item of the profile information TBL 104a, and continues until the processing of all users in the profile information TBL 104a is completed.

  The control unit 103 is a unit that controls data input / output performed between the friend determination processing unit 101, the login information management unit 102, and the user information storage unit 104.

  The browser display processing unit 105 is a unit that performs a process of transmitting mark information that allows the SNS server device 100 to determine whether a user of the SNS system is recruiting friends from the browser of the terminal device 106. Further, the browser display processing unit 105 extracts the article of the user to be accessed from the diary TBL 104c and the community TBL 104d, and outputs the extracted information to the terminal device 106 serving as the access source.

  The browser display processing unit 105 refers to the friend flag of the corresponding user profile information TBL 104a. If the friend flag is ON, the browser display processing unit 105 transmits the friend mark display information to the terminal device 106, and the terminal device 106 displays the friend mark. The display information is received, and the friend mark is displayed on the browser.

  On the other hand, when the friend flag is not ON, the browser display processing unit 105 ends the display process without transmitting the friend mark display information to the terminal device 106.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a friend mark displayed on the browser of the terminal device 106 by the SNS server device 100. As shown in FIG. 6, a mark for easily determining that a friend is recruited is displayed next to the nickname.

  Next, processing of the friend determination processing unit 101 will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a processing procedure of the friend determination processing unit 101.

  First, the friend determination processing unit 101 extracts all records in which “OK” and “NG” are stored as the approval items of the friend TBL 104b (step S101), and the total number of extracted OK and NG cases is calculated. Is stored in the SNS server device 100 as the average rejection rate of the entire system at the time of friend application (hereinafter, this stored value is referred to as the average rejection rate of the entire system) (step S102).

  Next, the friend determination processing unit 101 acquires the nickname of the user whose friend flag is ON from the profile information TBL 104a (step S103), and extracts the average login interval and the last login date / time of the user from the profile information TBL 104a. (Step S104).

  Then, the friend determination processing unit 101 refers to whether the date and time obtained by adding an arbitrary number to the extracted average login interval to the final login date and time has reached the current date and time, and if the current date and time has been reached ( In step S105, Yes), it is determined that the corresponding user has not logged in recently, and the friend flag of the profile information TBL 104a is set to OFF (step S116).

  Otherwise (step S105, No), the friend determination processing unit 101 stores the same nickname as the user nickname acquired in step S103 as the application destination of the friend TBL 104b, the approval is “blank”, and the friend request The record with the oldest date is extracted (step S106).

  Then, the friend determination processing unit 101 refers to whether or not the date and time when “1” is added to the oldest request date has reached the current date and time, and if it has not reached the current date and time (Yes in step S107), Assuming that it is left unattended, the friend flag of the profile information TBL 104a is set to OFF (step S116).

  On the other hand, if the current date / time has been reached (No at step S107), the friend determination processing unit 101 acquires the previous login date / time of the determination target user from the profile information TBL 104a (step S108). Refer to whether the oldest request date has been reached, and if the previous login date has not been reached (Yes in step S109), the friend application flag obtained in step S103 is turned OFF, assuming that the friend application is ignored. Set (step S116).

  On the other hand, if the current login date has been reached (No in step S109), the friend determination processing unit 101 is a record for the period after the previous batch processing, and the user obtained in step S103 applies for the friend TBL 104b. First, all records whose approval is NG are extracted from the friend TBL 104b (step S110).

  Then, the friend determination processing unit 101 includes all the extracted records in which the “applicant” item is the same user and the “application destination” item is a record in which nicknames other than the user obtained in step S103 are stored. Then, a record whose approval item is OK or NG is extracted from the friend TBL 104b (step S111), and it is referred to whether there is a record corresponding to the same applicant as the stored applicant (step S112).

  When the target record does not exist (No at Step S112), the friend determination processing unit 101 sets the friend flag of the user obtained at Step S103 to OFF, assuming that the application of the first user is rejected (Step S116). .

  On the other hand, when the target record exists (step S112, Yes), the friend determination processing unit 101 determines whether the rejection rate of the applicant stored in the target record has reached the average rejection rate of the entire system. If the average rejection rate of the entire system has not been reached (step S113, Yes), the friend flag is set to OFF (step S116) because a so-called ordinary applicant is rejected.

  If the average rejection rate of the entire system has been reached (No in step S113), the friend determination processing unit 101 keeps the friend flag in the profile information TBL 104a on, assuming that a so-called cautionary person has been rejected.

  Subsequently, the friend determination processing unit 101 determines whether the processing for the corresponding user extracted in step S110 is completed (step S114), and if not completed (step S114, No), the process proceeds to step S111. And until the extracted user ends.

  On the other hand, when it has been completed (step S114, Yes), the friend determination processing unit 101 determines whether or not processing has been performed for all users of the profile information TBL 104a, and when processing has not been performed for all users (step S115, No), the process proceeds to step S103, the process is repeated until step S114, and if it is processed (step S115, Yes), the process ends.

  Next, processing performed by the login information management unit 102 will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating a processing procedure of the login information management unit. The login information management unit 102 calculates the value of the average login interval in the profile information TBL 104a and updates it at an arbitrary interval.

  First, the login information management unit 102 acquires the value of the last login date and the previous login date and time of the corresponding user from the profile information TBL 104a (step S201), and updates the value by subtracting the previous login date and time from the last login date and time. Calculation is performed by taking the average of the login average value from the user's membership to the previous login (step S202).

  Next, the login information management unit 102 newly updates the obtained average value to the average login interval item of the profile information TBL 104a (step S203), and checks whether all users in the profile information TBL 104a have been processed. If it is referred to and completed (step S204, Yes), the process ends.

  On the other hand, if the processing has not been completed for all users (No at Step S204), the login information management unit 102 proceeds to Step S202 and loops until the processing for all users of the profile information TBL 104a is completed. Process in

  Next, a procedure for the SNS system to display a friend's mark will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating a processing procedure in which the browser display processing unit 105 displays a friend mark.

  First, the terminal device 106 logs in to the SNS server device 100 (step S300), and the SNS server device 100 displays profile information TBL 104a, other users that the browser display processing unit 105 displays on the browser of the terminal device 106, Extracted from the friend TBL 104b, the diary TBL 104c, and the community TBL 104d (step S301).

  Then, the browser display processing unit 105 refers to the friend flag of the profile information TBL 104a of the user who performs the display process (step S302), and if the flag is ON (step S303, Yes), displays the friend mark display information. It transmits to 106 (step S304).

  Next, the terminal device 106 receives the friend mark display information from the SNS server device 100 (step S305), and displays the friend mark on the browser (step S306).

  On the other hand, when the friend flag is not ON (step S303, No), the browser display processing unit 105 does not transmit the friend mark display information to the terminal device 106, and the operation of the browser display processing unit 105 ends.

  As described above, in the SNS system according to the first embodiment, the SNS server device 100 stores the login status of the user in the user information storage unit 104, and the friend determination processing unit 101 includes the user information storage unit. Based on the profile information TBL104a and friend TBL104b stored in 104, it is determined whether each user is recruiting friends, and the user is recruiting friends according to the determination result. The person can easily determine whether other users are recruiting friends and can refer to articles and diaries on the site with peace of mind. As a result, it is possible to easily find other users who have a common hobby, interest, etc., and to efficiently expand the community between users.

  Next, the SNS system according to the second embodiment will be described. In the SNS system according to the second embodiment, when the terminal device 206 of the user of the SNS system accesses the SNS server device 200, a mark that can determine whether the user is a beginner from the login status of the user. Display.

  Thus, since the beginner mark is displayed, the user can notify other users of information indicating that he / she is a beginner, and can refer to articles and diaries on the site with confidence. As a result, it is possible to easily find other users who have a common hobby, interest, etc., and to efficiently expand the community between users.

  FIG. 10 is a configuration diagram of the SNS system according to the second embodiment. The SNS system includes an SNS server device 200 that provides a service and a terminal device 206 that uses the SNS system.

As shown in FIG. 11, the profile information TBL 204a is a means for storing a “nickname” indicating a handle name or the like in the SNS system, a “subscription date” for joining a community, and a “beginner flag”.

  Among these, the “beginner flag” is a value updated by the beginner determination processing unit 201, and stores ON when the user who is determined to be a beginner in the SNS system is a beginner, and stores OFF when the user is not a beginner. The initial setting value of the beginner flag is ON.

  The community TBL 204b is a table that stores information related to the community registered by the user. FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of a data structure of the community TBL 204b. As shown in FIG. 12, the community TBL 204b stores “nickname” indicating the handle name of the user in the SNS system, “participating community ID” indicating the community name in the SNS system in which the user is participating, and the like. It is means to do.

  The access information TBL 204c is a table that stores the number of times a user in the SNS system visits an article or diary of another user and actually accesses the article or diary. FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of a data structure of the access information TBL 204c. As shown in FIG. 13, the access information TBL includes a “nickname” in the user's SNS system, a “stepped person” indicating another user who has accessed the user's article or diary, a user's article, It is a means for storing “date” and “time” accessed in the diary.

  The visit history (after) TBL 204d is a table that stores the number of visits (not including the number of actual accesses to articles) visited by users in the SNS system to access articles and diaries of other users. FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of the data structure of the visit history (after) TBL 204d. As shown in FIG. 14, the visit history (after) TBL 204d is a "nickname" in the user's SNS system, a "stepped person" indicating other users who have visited the user's articles and diaries, and the user. It is a means to memorize “date” and “time” visited in articles and diaries.

  The diary TBL 204e is a table that stores information related to the diary opened and described by the user in the SNS system. FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an example of a data structure of the diary TBL 204e. As shown in FIG. 15, the diary TBL 204e includes a “nickname” indicating a handle name in the SNS system, a “diary name” opened by the user in the SNS system, and a “recent diary” indicating the title of the opened diary. It is a means to memorize "the title".

  Here, the setting of the beginner flag performed by the beginner determination processing unit 201 will be described. The beginner determination processing unit 201 determines whether the user to be determined is a beginner based on the login status of the user to be determined stored in the user information storage unit 204, and determines that the user is a beginner. If this is the case, the beginner flag is set to ON, and if it is determined that the user is not a beginner, the beginner flag is set to OFF.

  The determination method of the beginner determination processing unit 201 is performed based on information obtained from the profile information TBL 204a, access information TBL 204c, and visit history (after) TBL 204d of the user to be determined.

  First, the beginner determination processing unit 201 extracts the nickname of the user to be determined from the profile information TBL 204a, and extracts the access count and visit history count of the corresponding nickname from the access information TBL 204c and visit history (after) TBL 204d, respectively. .

  Next, the beginner determination processing unit 201 determines whether the ratio of the number of accesses to the extracted number of visit histories has reached an arbitrary number, and if it has reached the arbitrary number (access count / Visit history count ≧ 3 (arbitrary number)), the beginner flag of the profile information TBL 204a is updated to OFF.

  On the other hand, if the number has not reached the arbitrary number (the number of accesses / the number of visit histories <3 (arbitrary number)), the beginner determination processing unit 201 does not set the value of the beginner flag to OFF, but in the profile information TBL 204a. The process shifts to the judgment of another user, and a beginner judgment is made until the processing of the corresponding user is completed.

  The login information management unit 202 is a means for monitoring access from the user terminal device 206 and the like, and updating the access information TBL 204c and the visit history (after) TBL 204d.

  That is, the login information management unit 202 updates the access information TBL 204c when the user ("stepped person" shown in FIG. 13) accesses the diary or article of the corresponding nickname.

  On the other hand, when the user (“stepped person” shown in FIG. 14) visits the diary or article of the corresponding nickname, the login information management unit 202 updates the visit history TBL 204d.

  The control unit 203 is a device that controls input / output of data performed between the beginner determination processing unit 201, the login information management unit 202, and the user information storage unit 204.

  The browser display processing unit 205 performs processing for displaying a mark that allows the SNS server device 200 to determine whether the user of the SNS system is a beginner on the browser of the terminal device 206. In addition, the browser display processing unit 205 extracts the article of the user to be accessed from the diary TBL 204e and the community TBL 204b, and outputs the extracted information to the terminal device 206 serving as the access source.

  The browser display processing unit 205 refers to the beginner flag of the corresponding user profile information TBL 204a. If the beginner flag is ON, the browser display processing unit 205 transmits display information of the beginner mark to the terminal device 206, and the terminal device 206 displays the beginner mark. The display information is received, and the beginner mark is displayed on the browser.

  On the other hand, when the beginner flag is not ON, the browser display processing unit 205 ends the display process without transmitting the display information of the beginner mark to the terminal device 206.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating an example of a beginner mark displayed on the browser of the terminal device 206 by the SNS server device 200. As shown in FIG. 16, a mark for easily determining whether a user is a beginner is displayed next to the nickname.

  Next, the operation of the beginner determination processing unit 201 will be described. FIG. 17 is a flowchart illustrating a processing procedure of the beginner determination processing unit 201.

  First, the beginner determination processing unit 201 extracts the nickname of the user who displays the beginner mark from the profile information TBL 204a to the terminal 206 (step S400).

  The number of visit histories for the extracted user's nickname is extracted from the visit history (after) TBL 204d (step S401), and the number of accesses is extracted from the access information TBL 204c (step S402).

  Then, the beginner determination processing unit 201 determines whether the ratio of the number of accesses to the extracted number of visit history cases has reached an arbitrary number, and when it has not reached the arbitrary number (No in step S403). Then, the process proceeds to step S400, and steps S400 to S403 are repeated until the processing of the corresponding user is completed.

  On the other hand, when the arbitrary number has been reached (step S403, Yes), the beginner determination processing unit 201 changes the beginner flag of the profile information TBL 204a for the corresponding user to OFF (step S404), and the corresponding profile information TBL 104a. If the process is completed for the user (Yes in step S405), the process is completed. If not completed (No in step S405), the process returns to step S400, and the process is repeated until the corresponding user is completed. Execute.

  Next, a procedure for the SNS system to display a beginner's mark will be described. FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure for displaying a beginner mark.

  First, the terminal device 206 logs in to the SNS server device 200 (step S500), and the SNS server device 200 displays other users that the browser display processing unit 205 displays on the browser of the terminal device 206 as profile information TBL 204a. , Extracted from the community TBL 204b and the diary TBL 204e (step S501).

  Then, the browser display processing unit 205 refers to the beginner flag of the corresponding user profile information TBL 204a (step S502), and if the beginner flag is ON (step S503, Yes), the display information of the beginner mark is displayed on the terminal device. It transmits to 206 (step S504).

  Next, the terminal device 206 receives display information of the beginner mark from the server device 200 (step S505), and displays the beginner mark on the browser (step S506).

  On the other hand, when the beginner flag is not ON (step S503, No), the browser display processing unit 205 does not transmit the display information of the beginner mark to the terminal device 206, and the operation of the browser display processing unit ends.

  As described above, in the SNS system according to the second embodiment, the SNS server device 200 stores the login status of the user in the user information storage unit 204, and the user determination processing unit 201 stores the user information. Based on the access information TBL 104c and the visit history TBL 204d stored in the unit 204, it is determined whether each user is a beginner, and the fact that the user is a beginner is displayed according to the determination result. Beginners) can notify other users that they are beginners and can refer to articles and diaries on the site with peace of mind. As a result, it is possible to easily find other users who have a common hobby, interest, etc., and to efficiently expand the community between users.
