Then, in the terminal device T ₁ that has received the login page information displayed on the display unit 32 to the login page corresponding thereto by using the login page information the received further using a login page that is the display The login process is executed (step S5). At this time, specifically as the login process, the user ID and the password showing the user trying to the log (refer to FIG. 2 (b) codes 101 and 102) are input by the user at the terminal device T ₁ for example And the process which transmits them to the member information server MSV is performed (step S5).

The member information server MSV that has received the data corresponding to the user ID and the password collates the contents of the member data 100 stored in the member information database MDB at that time with the transmitted user ID and the like. and, a user operating the terminal device T ₁ that has transmitted the user ID or the like, an authentication process whether or not any of the users registered as enjoy a pre-book service, for example, a password irradiation This is performed by a known method such as legal (step S13).

Thus, if the user who transmitted the user ID or the like can be authenticated as a registered user, the member information server MSV generates certificate data including the contents as a certificate indicating that, transmitted to the terminal device _{T 1} the certificate data through the network NT, it is recorded (step S13, S6). Incidentally, in order to improve the certificate data itself integrity, confidentiality at the time of transmitting the certificate data from the member information server MSV to the terminal device T _1, common the certificate data itself For example key scheme or a public key system It is even better to transmit the data to the terminal device T ₁ after encrypting it using the above.

Next, publication management server RSV to the terminal device T ₁ to which the authenticated user operates the user dedicated operation screen (hereinafter, the operation screen of the dedicated, simply referred to as "my page") the image data required for display on the terminal device T _1, and transmits a My page information (step S14).

Then, the terminal device T ₁ that has received the My page information is displayed on the display unit 32 My page corresponding to the information (step S7).

Thus, on the My Page, the copyrighted data 203 corresponding to the contents of the publication to which the user purchases or lending, etc. are possessed in order to obtain at the terminal device T _1, the serial indicating the publication When a number input operation is performed and a request operation for requesting the copyrighted work data 203 is performed on the My Page, serial number data corresponding to each operation, transmission request information, and the received ( The certificate data (see step S6) is output to the copyrighted work server CSV (step S8).

Here, the example screen a My used for processing of the steps S7 and S8 corresponds to my page displayed in the terminal device T _1, will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 6 (a).

  As illustrated in FIG. 6A, as a configuration example of My Page SIN, for example, a serial number input field 60, a transmission button 61, a photo display field 62, a profile display field 63, and a genre are displayed. A genre display field 64 is included at least.

  In this configuration, the serial number input field 60 is a field for inputting the serial number. The transmission button 61 is a button operated when transmitting data corresponding to each operation in step S8 to the copyrighted work server CSV. Furthermore, the photo display column 62 is a column in which a photo or the like showing the user corresponding to the My Page is displayed. Furthermore, the profile display field 63 is a field in which a simple profile of the user is displayed in characters. Finally, the genre display column 64 is a column in which the genre to which the bookmark data 405 accumulated by the user at that time belongs is displayed.

  In the genre display field 64 illustrated in FIG. 6, the genre display field display process, which will be described later with reference to FIG. The genre having a larger number of bookmark data 405 is displayed using a font having a larger number of points.

Returning to FIG. 5, the serial number data transmitted from the terminal device T _1, transmission request information and the certificate work server CSV data has received the terminal device T ₁ by certificate data came is the transmission It is confirmed that the operating user is a user authenticated by the member information server MSV, and the copyrighted work data 203 corresponding to the content of the publication having the serial number indicated by the transmitted serial number data is published. extracting from the data 200 within the work data 203 the extracted to the terminal device _{T 1} which has transmitted the serial number data or the like (step S16, S17).

Then, the terminal device T ₁ that has received the copyrighted data 203 displays the copyrighted data 203 the received at the display unit 32 (step S9).

  Here, a display screen example of the copyrighted work data 203 used in the processing of step S9 will be specifically described with reference to FIG.

  As illustrated in FIG. 6B, examples of the display screen BMS for displaying the copyrighted work data 203 transmitted from the copyrighted work server CSV include an image display field 70, a genre input field 72, a bookmark, and the like. And at least a button 71.

  In this configuration, the image display column 70 is a column in which an image corresponding to the copyrighted work data 203 is displayed. The genre input field 72 is a field used when the user designates the genre to which the literary work data 203 (and the bookmark data 405 indicating the literary work data 203) on which the image is displayed belongs. Further, the bookmark button 71 is a button operated when the location URL of the copyrighted work data 203 corresponding to the content displayed in the image display field 70 at that time is stored as bookmark data 405 in the bookmark database BMDB. is there.

When the bookmark button 71 is operated while the content of the copyrighted work data 203 is displayed (see step S9 in FIG. 5), the location URL of the copyrighted work data 203 corresponding to the content is set as the bookmark data 405. storing request information requesting to be stored in the bookmark database BMDB is output from the terminal device T ₁ in the publication management server RSV (step S10). Note that the storage request information includes genre data indicating the genre (to which the copyrighted work data 203 corresponding to the location URL or the like should belong) input using the genre input field 72 in addition to the location URL or the like. It is.

  Thus, in the publication management server RSV that has received the storage request information, the location URL of the copyrighted work data 203 indicated by the storage request information is changed to the copyrighted server CSV (and the network NT or a direct line not shown). And the obtained URL and the like are stored as the bookmark data 405 for each genre in the corresponding bookmark management data 400 in the bookmark database BMDB. At this time, the bookmark data 405 is added to the bookmark management data 400 corresponding to the serial number publication containing the content corresponding to the corresponding copyrighted work data 203 and including the user ID data 404 indicating the user. Thus, it is accumulated for each genre.

  When the accumulation of the new bookmark data 405 is completed, the genre data included in the storage request information is transferred to the member information server MSV (via the network NT or a direct line (not shown)). As a result, the member information server MSV includes the genre (indicated by the genre data) to which the newly accumulated bookmark data 405 belongs among the genre bookmark number data 113 in the member data 400 corresponding to the user in the member information database MDB. Genre bookmark number data 113 corresponding to the number of bookmark data 405 newly accumulated (step S15).

By executing the processing of steps S1 to S16 described above in the terminal device T ₁ , the publication management server RSV, and the copyrighted work server CSV, the location URL of the copyrighted work data 203 desired by the logged-in user is added to the bookmark. Data 405 is newly stored in the bookmark database BMDB.

  Next, the genre display field display process executed when displaying the genre display field 64 (see FIG. 6A) will be described with reference to FIG.

The category display column display processing is interrupt processing to processes that are executed when displaying My SIN in the terminal device T ₁ as described above, specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the genre display column 64 For each genre displayed on the screen, the number of bookmarks at that time is acquired from the genre-specific bookmark number data 113 in the member data 100 corresponding to the user (step S80), and the acquired number of bookmarks for each genre is obtained. Based on this, the number of display font points for each genre is set (steps S81, S82; NO). In the process of step S81, for example, a font having a different number of points is assigned to each preset range in the number of bookmarks, and a larger font is used as the number of bookmarks increases. When the setting of the font point number is completed for all the genres to be displayed in the genre display field 64 (step S82; YES), the corresponding genre is displayed as a genre using the font having the set point number. The information is displayed in the column 64 (step S83), and the genre display column display process is completed.

Regarding the genre display processing, in addition to the above-described processing, for example, a genre with zero bookmarks may not be displayed, or the font display color is used instead of the number of font points used for display. In this case, the display color of a genre having a larger number of bookmark data 405 belonging thereto may be used as a more prominent display color. Specifically, for example, assuming that the number of bookmark data 405 belonging to a genre is classified into four stages, in order from the genre with the largest number of bookmark data 405 belonging,
For example, red display color → pink display color → yellow display color → blue display color.

(II) Bookmark browsing process by the user Next, the user who has accumulated the bookmark data 405 by the bookmark registration process described above browses the copyrighted work data 203 related to the registered bookmark data 405 at a later time. An example of the browsing process as a part of the service will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. Incidentally, FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the entire of the browsing process, FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating the configuration of a display screen according to the browsing process, FIG. 10 is displayed on the terminal device T ₁ as a result of the browsing process It is a figure which shows the example of a screen to be performed. Further, in the flowchart shown in FIG. 8, the same steps as those in the flowchart shown in FIG.

In the browsing process of the copyrighted work data 203 according to the embodiment, first, the user who has accumulated the bookmark data 405 by the same processes as the top page request process, the login process and the my page display process in the bookmark registration process described above. There run the top page request process and login process (steps S1 to S6), terminal T ₁ of the display process of my page with my page information transmitted from the publication management server RSV correspondingly (Steps S7, S11 to S14).

Then, the in terminal T ₁ which My page is displayed, the publications are desired viewing of copyrighted data 203 included therein to select a book, requesting the transmission of the bookmark data 405 itself is allowed to accumulate Do the operation to do. Thereby, the bookmark transmission request information corresponding to the operation is transmitted to the publication management server RSV together with the publication specifying data (for example, the ISBN data) for specifying the selected publication (step S20). . At this time, as the data showing that the user operating the terminal device T ₁ is is already login process, the certificate data is also combined publications together with the bookmark transmission request or the like of the already acquired (see FIG. 5 step S6) It is transmitted to the management server RSV.

Next, publication management server RSV that has received the bookmark transmission request information together with the publications identified data and certificate data, the user the user is already authenticated to operate the terminal device T ₁ by certificate data came is the transmission The bookmark database BMDB is searched using the received publication specifying data and the user ID of the user as a clue, the bookmark data 405 included in the bookmark management data 400 is extracted, extracted bookmark data 405 to the terminal device T ₁ which has transmitted the bookmark transmission request information and the like (step S25).

As a result, the terminal device T _{1 that} has received the transmission of the bookmark data 405 displays the contents of the transmitted bookmark data 405 (such as the location URL) on the display unit 32 (step S21).

  Here, a configuration of a content display screen formed for displaying the content of the bookmark data 405 will be specifically described with reference to FIG.

As illustrated in FIG. 9, an example of the configuration of the content display screen OP is a content display screen OP as shown in FIG. The content display screen OP includes the photo display column 62 and the profile display column 63 indicating the user who has accumulated the bookmark data 405 displayed in the content display screen OP, and the genre display column corresponding to the user. 64, in addition, contains bookmark data display column 90 including the contents of the bookmark data 405 stored by the user in the publication selected by the user of the terminal device T ₁ in step S20. The bookmark data display column 90 includes a cover display column 91 for displaying the cover of the selected publication, and the summary data or character data related to the bookmark data 405 accumulated by the user for the publication. Is displayed for each bookmark data 405, and a bookmark display request button 93 of another user for requesting browsing of the bookmark data 405 of the other user who has purchased the selected publication. And at least.

  Then, from the contents of the displayed one or more bookmark data 405, bookmark data 405 that is desired to view the copyrighted work data 203 corresponding thereto (for example, “Now, minivan is in season!” In FIG. 9). If the selected bookmark data 405) is selected and the bookmark content display button 93 is operated, the literary work data transmission request information for requesting transmission of the literary work data 203 corresponding to the selected bookmark data 405. Is transmitted to the copyrighted work server CSV together with the location URL and the acquired certificate data (step S22).

Thus, receiving the copyrighted data transmission request information, and the like (step S26) work server CSV, the user operating the terminal device T ₁ by certificate data came is the transmission is in an authenticated user The copyrighted work data 203 requested to be transmitted according to the copyrighted work data transmission request information is confirmed, and the copyrighted work is used with the ISBN contained in the location URL transmitted together with the copyrighted work data transmission request information as a clue. database searching and extracting in the CDB, the copyrighted data 203 the extracted to the terminal device T ₁ which has transmitted the copyrighted data transmission request information, and the like (step S16).

Then, in the terminal device T ₁ which has received the transmission of the copyrighted data 203 displays an image such as the contents of copyrighted data 203 the received on the display section 32 (step S23), according to Example End the browsing process.

  Here, as a screen displayed on the display unit 32 by the process of step S23, for example, as in the display screen DT illustrated in FIG. 10, the photo display column 62, the profile display column 63, and the genre display column 64 are displayed. In addition, at least a content display column 70 for displaying the content of the copyrighted work data 203 itself and a data genre display column 72 for displaying the genre to which the copyrighted work data 203 on which the content is displayed belong are included. At this time, it goes without saying that the genre display field display process described with reference to FIG. 7 is executed when the genre display field 64 is displayed.

  Through the bookmark browsing process described above, the contents of the copyrighted work data 203 related to the bookmark data 405 stored by the user can be freely browsed later.

  Since the bookmark registration process and the bookmark browsing process described above can be performed, it is not necessary for the user to continue possessing the publication for which the accumulation of the bookmark data 405 has been completed. Therefore, as a result, the number of publications that the user still needs to possess can be greatly reduced, and the contents of the publications that have been considered necessary in the past can be freely viewed at any time.

(III) Bookmark browsing process by the holder of the same publication Next, the contents of the copyrighted work data 203 related to the bookmark data 405 accumulated by the bookmark registration process described above include the contents corresponding to the copyrighted work data 203. An example of browsing processing that is a part of the service browsed by other users possessing published publications will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 11 to 15. 11 is a flowchart showing the browsing process, FIGS. 12 and 13 are diagrams showing examples of screens displayed on the terminal device T during the browsing process, and FIG. 14 is displayed in the browsing process. FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a copyrighted material data display screen, and FIG. 15 is a flowchart illustrating a modification of the browsing process. In the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 11 and 15, the same steps as those in the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 5 and 8 are denoted by the same step numbers, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

Even if it is a holder, it is good also as a thing in which the user who browses cannot browse the bookmark, if there is no relationship with the user who is browsing, and the said friend list registration. And these two forms may be set so that each user can select one, or may be limited to any one as a default (initial state).

(IV) Bookmark browsing process by friend list registrant Next, the content of the copyrighted work data 203 related to the bookmark data 405 accumulated by the bookmark registration process described above is used as the user who executed the registration process (for example, the terminal device T). ₁ users) the friend list is registered (see FIG. 2 (c) code 112 references) other users registered in the (e.g., in some of the services that the user) browses the terminal device T ₃ An example of a browsing process will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the entire browsing process, and FIGS. 17 and 18 are diagrams showing examples of screens displayed on the terminal device T during the browsing process. Also, in the flowchart shown in FIG. 16, the same steps as those in the flowchart shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 8, or FIG.

In browsing processing of copyrighted data 203 according to another user registered in the friend list, in the beginning, the terminal device T (hereinafter which the other user operates the terminal device to be the operation with the terminal device T _3, in the other user is "user of the terminal device T _3"), the top page request processing in the above-mentioned bookmark registration processing, the login processing and display processing similar My page, the user of the terminal device T ₃ There run the top page request process and login process (steps S1 to S6), was used my page information (user of the terminal device T ₃₎ which is transmitted in response from the literature management server RSV to display processing is executed My in the terminal device _{T 3} (step S7, S11 to S14).

Next, in the terminal device T _3, the operation of requesting the contents of the buddy list that the user has been registered is executed, friends list request information corresponding to the operation is the user of the terminal device T ₃ It is transmitted from the terminal device _{T 3} in the member information server MSV with user ID (step S40).

Then, the member information server MSV that has received the friend list request information searches the member information database MDB for the member data 100 including the user ID data 101 corresponding to the user ID included in the friend list request information, Further, the contents of the friend list information 112 included in the retrieved member data 100 (that is, list information including other registered users in the friend list in which the user of the terminal device T ₃ is registered) are stored in the terminal device T _3. (Step S47).

Then, receiving the contents of the friend list 112 in (step S41) terminal T _3, and displays the contents of the received friend list in the display unit 32. Then, from the displayed friend list, other terminal registrants registered as “friends” (that is, the terminal device can browse the contents of the copyrighted work data 203 related to the bookmark data 405 related to the accumulation of the person) select another registrant) the user of T ₃ wishes, further publication request information other registrants who the selected request information about publications purchased, indicating the other registrant It transmits to publication management server RSV with a user ID (step S42).

Then, the publication management server RSV that has received the publication request information stores purchased user ID data 307 corresponding to the user ID (that is, the user ID of the selected friend) transmitted together with the publication request information. One or a plurality of publication management data 300 including the publication management data BDB are searched, and the cover data 202 corresponding to the searched publication management data 300 (that is, the selected friend purchases the bookmark data 405). the cover data 202) corresponding to the cover of the accumulated allowed publications via ISBN data 301 and 201 extracted from the publication data 200 to the terminal device _{T 3} (step S48). In addition to this, the publication management server RSV makes the serial number data 306 paired with the searched purchase user ID data 307 (that is, other registered as “friends” selected in step S42 described above). the serial number data 306) corresponding to the registrant, similarly to the terminal device _{T 3} (step S48).

Next, the terminal device T _{3 that} has received the cover data 202 and the serial number data 306 displays a publication list display screen including an image corresponding to the received cover data 202 on the display unit 32 (step 32). S43).

Here, the list display screen of the display unit 32 displayed on the publications of the terminal device T ₃ in the above-described processing step S43, there is a list display screen F for example as shown in FIG. 17. The list display screen F includes the photo display field 62 and the profile display field 63 indicating the other registrants selected in the process of step S42 (“konnn” in the case of the list display screen BG), the other in addition with the genre display column 64 corresponding to the registrant, the, the cover display column 101 cover corresponding to the cover data 202 received at the terminal device T ₃ as processing of step S43 is displayed, the publication the purchase button 102 is operated when a user desires to purchase to operate the terminal device T ₃ things, but are included for each publication.

Next, the user operating the terminal device T _3, one or more publications from the publication that is currently displayed (i.e., other registrants who purchase the publication (the case shown in FIG. 17 " The publication that desires to browse the copyrighted work data 203 corresponding to the bookmark data 405 accumulated by Mr. Konnn ") is selected by, for example, clicking the corresponding cover display column 101 (step S44).

Then, when any publication is selected using the list display screen F illustrated in FIG. 17, ISBN data indicating the ISBN corresponding to the selected publication is transmitted to the publication management server RSV. Thus, whether the user of the terminal device T ₃ is already purchased the publications are confirmed buyer data 305 publications management data 300 publications management database BDB as a clue (step S45, S49). Thus, when the user of the terminal device T ₃ is not already purchase the publication (step S45; NO, S49; NO) , separately since it is not preferable to view the copyrighted data 203 to non-purchasers the purchase processing executed in the terminal device _{T 3} and publications management server RSV (step S46, S50), and terminates the browsing processing according to the first embodiment.

Here, the purchase processing (step S46, S50) Specific as, for example, purchase information transmitted the purchase screen to the terminal device T _3, came inputted / transmitted using the purchase screen ( Necessary purchase processing is performed using the purchaser's user ID and credit card number. In addition to this, after the purchase confirmation, using the serial number of the purchased publication and the user ID indicating the purchaser, it is stored as new purchaser data 305 in the publication management data 300, and New bookmark management data 400 (ISBN data 401, cover data URL data 402, bookmark management data 400 including only serial number data 403 and user ID data 404) is stored in the bookmark database BMDB.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 16, the bookmark browsing process is terminated as it is after the purchase process in step S46. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the purchase process in step S46 is performed, purchase is performed. the bookmark data 405 data indicating the completion as a trigger may be provided to a user operating the terminal device T _3.

On the other hand, in the judgment of step S45 (and S49), when the user operating the terminal device _{T 3} is already purchased the publications (step S45; YES, S49; YES) , then in the process of step S44 the operation for requesting transmission of the bookmark data 405 other subscribers selected in the processing in step S42 is allowed to accumulate that the user is executed by operating the terminal device T ₃ for selected publications, corresponding to the operation The bookmark transmission request information to be registered is the serial number data 306 corresponding to the publication that has been transmitted in the process of step S48 (that is, other registrations registered as “friends” selected in step S42 described above). Publication number management server RSV and member information together with serial number data 306) corresponding to the person Sent to over server MSV (step S32).

Next, the bookmark transmission request information is received together with the corresponding serial number data 306 (that is, the serial number data 306 corresponding to other registrants registered as “friends” selected in step S42 described above). The publication management server RSV searches the bookmark database BMDB using the received serial number data 306 as a clue, extracts the bookmark management data 400 including the serial number data 403 corresponding to the serial number, and further extracts the bookmark management data 400 Bookmark data 405 included in the bookmark management data 400 (that is, bookmark data corresponding to the copyrighted work data 203 corresponding to an article included in a book corresponding to the serial number data 306 and accumulated by the friend) 405) Extracting Te, the bookmark data 405 obtained by the extraction, to the terminal device T ₃ which has transmitted the bookmark transmission request information (step S34).

Thus, the terminal device T ₃ has received the transmission of the bookmark data 405, similar to the display processing as that described with reference to FIG. 8 (step S21), and copyrighted data transmission request information transmission processing (step S22) and copyright content display processing of the object data 203 (step S23) executed respectively sequentially as the terminal device T _3, also in the work server CSV correspondingly, similar copyrighted data transmission to that described with reference to FIG. 8 The request information reception process (step S26) and the copyrighted work data transmission process (step S16) are sequentially executed.

  Here, the configuration of the display screen of the contents of the bookmark data mark data 405 displayed on the display unit 32 in the process of step S21 will be specifically described with reference to FIG.

As illustrated in FIG. 18, as a configuration example of a bookmark window FB displayed on the terminal device T ₃ as the contents themselves of the bookmark data 405, for example, bookmark data 405 contents to the bookmark screen FB is displayed And the genre display corresponding to the other registrant and the photo display field 62 and the profile display field 63 indicating the other registrants that have accumulated the information (that is, other registrants of the friend list selected by the process of step S42) In addition to the column 64, for each publication selected in the processing of step S44, a cover display column 111 for displaying the cover of the publication, and a bookmark accumulated by the other registrant for the publication The content display column 112 in which the summary data or character data related to the data 405 is displayed, respectively, is at least include. When any of the content display fields 112 in the bookmark screen FB illustrated in FIG. 18 is selected, the display screen DT (that is, illustrated in FIG. 10) corresponding to the selected bookmark data 405 (that is, illustrated in FIG. 10). A display screen DT corresponding to “konnn” is displayed.

  According to the bookmark browsing process by the friend list registrant described above, a friend list registrant who has purchased a certain publication relates to bookmark data 405 accumulated by other registrants in the friend list registered by himself / herself. The contents of the copyrighted work data 203 can be browsed later. Therefore, the literary work data 203 related to the bookmark data 405 stored by a certain user can be easily shared among registrants of the friend list including the user.

  In addition, in the above-mentioned (III) bookmark browsing process by the holder of the same publication, it is described that the bookmark of another user can be browsed by the holder of the same publication. In the bookmark browsing process by the registrant, even if it is the holder of the same publication, it is described that the browsing user can only browse if the user is browsing and the friend list registration is not related. And these two forms may be set so that each user can select one, or may be limited to any one as a default.

(V) Bookmark browsing process by unspecified third party Next, contents corresponding to the bookmark data 405 itself accumulated by the bookmark registration process described above (that is, the summary data obtained by excluding the location URL itself from the location URL etc.) , The character data, and the ISBN, and in addition to this, the image data corresponding to the cover of the publication (hereinafter collectively referred to as “public data”) person (i.e., the other registrants other unspecified third party friend list manipulating purchaser or the terminal device T ₃ of the same publication to operate the terminal device T ₂₎ in the part of the service to browse An example of a browsing process will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 19 and 20. FIG. 19 is a flowchart illustrating the browsing process, and FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating a screen example displayed on the terminal device T as a result of the browsing process.

As the browsing process of the public data by an unspecified third party, the publication management server RSV processes the public data for each user, each publication, and each bookmark data 405 by the unspecified third party. terminal T (hereinafter, a terminal device that is the operation to the terminal device T ₄₎ with viewer operates are posted by aspects of example a Web page or the like against browsable the network NT from (step S70). The viewer who operates the terminal device T ₄ is desired to operate the viewing of bookmark data 405 according to another user by executing in the terminal device T _4, the viewing request information by the viewer (request) As a form to respond, the bookmark data 405 can be browsed as a public screen including the general public data (step S60).

  Here, the configuration of the above-described public screen formed for browsing will be specifically described with reference to FIG.

As illustrated in FIG. 20, as a configuration example of the public screen W displayed on the terminal device T ₄ when browsing the public data, for example, the public data displayed on the public screen W In addition to the photo display field 62 and profile display field 63 indicating the user who has accumulated the bookmark data 405 as a base, and the genre display field 64 corresponding to the user, each publication has its publication. A public data display field 80 for displaying the public data related to the bookmark data 405 stored by the user for the object is included.

  In the public data display field 80, for each publication, a cover display field 81 in which the cover of the publication is displayed, and the above-described outline relating to the bookmark data 405 accumulated by the user for the publication. It includes at least a content display field 82 for displaying data or character data, and a purchase button 83 operated when it is desired to purchase the publication.

At this time, the cover display field 81 and purchase button 83, is embedded URL indicating the so-called affiliate links (are tied) cage, it is selected by a viewer who operates the terminal device T _4, further purchase operation for By doing so, a reward is given to the user who has accumulated the corresponding bookmark data 405.

  Here, when displaying an image corresponding to the cover of the publication in the cover display field 81, the publication management server RSV uses the ISBN data 401 and the cover data URL data 402 included in the bookmark management data 400. The corresponding cover data 202 is extracted from the copyrighted work database CDB and displayed.

Next, while browsing the public data (step S60), if any of the publications browsed by the viewer is selected by a selection operation or the like of the cover display column 81 (step S61), the selection The publication management server RSV that has recognized that the user has accumulated the bookmark data 405 related to the publication according to the information of the affiliate link in which the URL is embedded in the purchase button 83 described above (in other words, selected been publications generate a so-called cookie including the information indicating the user) that has been displayed at the same time in the open window W having been displayed (cookie), transmit subjected to browse the generated cookie to the terminal device T ₄ (Step S71) to record (save) (Step S62).

Then, the terminal device T ₄ to which the cookie is stored, determines whether or not the purchase of publications has been instructed by the purchase button 83 is operated (step S63).

  In addition, as an affiliate system according to the present embodiment, the user ID indicating the user who performed the affiliate is only recorded in the cookie, and if the publication is introduced by the user, the above-described step S61 Even if the publication is not selected for processing, it is eligible for reward. Then, when a viewer who executes the process of FIG. 19 selects an affiliate link corresponding to another user, the corresponding cookie is overwritten (updated).

In the determination of step S63, when the purchase operation by the viewer is not made; ends the process in the terminal device T ₄ according to the intact Example (step S63 NO), whereas when the purchase operation has been performed (step S63; YES) Next, the cookie stored for the publication to be purchased in step S62 is transmitted to the publication management server RSV together with the purchase request information corresponding to the purchase request. The server RSV acquires this (steps S64 and S72). Then, the publication management server RSV transfers the fact that the cookie has been returned (for example, via the network NT or a direct line (not shown)) to the member information server MSV, and thereby preset in the member information server MSV. A process of adding / accumulating the point information indicating the number of privilege points being added for the user described in the cookie is performed, and reward is given to the user (step S73).

Then, between the terminals _{T 4} and publication management server RSV, it is selected to purchase (Step S63; YES) purchase processing for publications is executed (step S65, S74), in Example The bookmark browsing process is completed.

  By the bookmark browsing process by the unspecified third party described above, an unspecified third party can purchase the publication using the bookmark data 405 accumulated by a certain user as a clue, and the user can also A reward will be given with the purchase of a third party, and as a result, the publication can be promoted.

  In addition, after the purchase processing of the publication by the unspecified third party in FIG. 19 is completed (that is, after the processing of the above step S65 and step S74), a method that does not use the serial number data 306 to indicate that the purchase is completed. By sharing between the servers, the contents of the bookmark of the user being browsed by the unspecified third party (the contents of the bookmark of the purchased publication) may be browsed.

  In other words, after these processes, the above-described processes of steps S34 and S21 to S23 in FIG. 11 may be performed. In this way, after an unspecified third party purchases the publication using the bookmark data 405 accumulated by a certain user as a clue, the unspecified third party further purchases the bookmark data 405 of the publication. You can also browse the contents of.

(VI) Public data purchase process by unspecified third party Finally, the public data itself related to the bookmark data 405 accumulated by the bookmark registration process described above is purchased by an unspecified third party. A specific example of the purchase process will be described with reference to FIGS. 21 and 22. FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing the purchase process, and FIG. 22 is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed on the terminal device T as a result of the purchase view process. Further, in the flowchart shown in FIG. 21, the same processes as those in the flowchart shown in FIG. 19 are denoted by the same step numbers, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

The purchasing process of the public data by unspecified third party, initially, browsing process similar to that described with reference to FIG. 19 is executed in the terminal device T ₄ and publications management server RSV (step S60 , S70). At this time, in the terminal device T ₄ , by making a browsing request including the purchase process of the public data itself in advance, the public screen W illustrated using FIG. 20 as illustrated in FIG. 22 is displayed. In addition to the configuration, a public screen WW including a bookmark purchase button 84 that is operated when purchasing the public data itself is displayed.

Then, during the browsing, the public data itself that is the browsing target of the viewer (that is, for example, the cover data and the outline shown in the public data display field 80 in the public screen WW illustrated in FIG. 22, for example) When purchasing the corresponding bookmark purchase button 84 on the terminal device T _{4 and} purchasing a user ID, a credit card number, etc. necessary for the purchase as purchase information. Step S80), the purchase information is received by the publication management server RSV (Step S85).

Then, between the publication management server RSV and terminal T _4, purchase processing for public data to buy is selected is performed by using the purchase information (step S81, S86), in Example The bookmark purchase process is completed.

Here, the public data (bookmark mark data 405) that is the purchase target may be incorporated into the My Page of the user (the viewer) who purchased it, or further purchased. A user (the viewer) can purchase a publication corresponding to the publicly available data to be purchased, and the user can make a bookmarked state. That is, bookmark data viewers who bought publications corresponding to further the public data bought the public data itself by operating the terminal device T ₄ is, as the user the terminal T _1, which is the purchase The copyrighted work data 203 corresponding to 405 may be browsed.

  By the bookmark purchase process by the unspecified third party described above, the public data itself related to the bookmark data 405 accumulated by a certain user can be targeted for sale, and as a result, sales of publications can be promoted. It can be connected.

As each described above, according to the operation of the network system S according to the embodiment and Examples, indicating the copyrighted data 203 to which the user has selected for publication possessed by a user operating the terminal device T ₁ Since the bookmark data 405 is accumulated in the publication management database BDB and the user can acquire the accumulated bookmark data 405 (see FIGS. 5 to 8), the user possesses many publications. Even in such a case, it is possible to quickly and easily acquire / browse the contents of interest (the copyrighted work data 203) in those publications using the bookmark data 405 as a clue at any time.

  Therefore, the user does not need to keep the publication itself including the content corresponding to the copyrighted work data 203 selected by the user, and the necessary copyrighted work data is reduced while reducing the number of publications the user owns. 203 can be browsed quickly and easily.

  Further, the purchaser data 305 for associating the purchase user ID data 307 and the serial number data 306 is accumulated, and the bookmark data is referred to by referring to the certificate data included in the bookmark transmission request information transmitted through the login process. Since 405 is returned (see step S13 in FIG. 8), it is possible to prevent the copyrighted work data 203 from being obtained via the bookmark data 405 by a third party other than the user who actually owns the publication.

  Further, the person who purchased the same publication is specified, and when the purchaser requests to acquire the bookmark data 405, the bookmark data 405 is returned to the requester (see FIG. 11). The bookmark data 405 and the copyrighted work data 203 indicated by the bookmark data 405 can be shared by those who possess the.

  Furthermore, the person registered in the same friend list is specified, and when there is a request for obtaining bookmark data 405 from the person, the bookmark data 405 is returned to the requester (see FIG. 16). The bookmark data 405 and the copyrighted work data 203 indicated thereby can be shared among those registered in the friend list.

Further, when browsing of the bookmark data 405 is requested by an unspecified third party, only the public data corresponding to the publication is returned to the terminal device T (T ₄ ) operated by the third party. By making only public data available to a third party who does not own the publication (refer to FIGS. 19 and 20), it corresponds to the copyrighted work data 203 in consideration of the copyright of the publication. Publications containing the content to be made can be widely spread.

  Furthermore, since the registrant of the same friend list is prompted to purchase a publication including the content corresponding to the copyrighted work data 203 (see step S32 in FIG. 16), the registrant or the like purchases the publication. Can be promoted.

  Furthermore, the purchase screen information for displaying the purchase screen for purchasing the publication containing the content corresponding to the copyrighted work data 203 is returned to other registrants of the friend list (steps S45, S46, etc. in FIG. 16). In some cases, the third party can be encouraged to purchase the publication.

  In addition, since the purchase fee associated with the purchase of the publication by the third party is accumulated for each corresponding user (see step S53 in FIG. 19), the unspecified third party purchases the publication. The user who will introduce the publication as a result can surely acquire the purchase reward associated with the purchase.

Furthermore, bookmark data 405 is stored for each genre of the copyrighted work data 203, and the stored number is stored for each genre. Further, when the bookmark data 405 is returned, the bookmark for each genre indicating the number is also shown. Since the numerical data 113 is also returned (see FIG. 7), when the work data 203 indicated by the bookmark data 405 is displayed on the terminal device T (T ₂ ) that has received the reply of the bookmark data 405, the genre is displayed. It is possible to devise a display mode using the different bookmark number data 113 (for example, when displaying the genre contents, a contrivance such as changing the display mode for each genre in accordance with the accumulated number).

Also, sales in the case of buying public data itself according to the bookmark data 405 is desired, since the reply to the terminal device T ₄ corresponding information for the purchase (see Fig. 19), the public data itself Can be purchased by a third party, etc.

  In the above-described embodiments and examples, the case where serial numbers are assigned in units of publications and the utilization thereof have been described, but in addition to this, serial numbers are one page in each publication. It can also be configured to be given as an end.

  In this case, the bookmark data 405 registration / browsing process, sharing process, and sales promotion process for the corresponding publication can be effectively executed in units of finer pages.

  It is also possible to assign a serial number only to pages that are permitted by copyright. Even if a serial number is assigned in units of one publication, only a page permitted by copyright may be bookmarked.

  Furthermore, in the bookmark database BMDB and the publication management database BDB described above, the purchaser data 305 in the publication management database BDB is used to associate the purchaser with the serial number of the purchased publication. In addition, for example, a user ID indicating another purchaser of a publication corresponding to the bookmark management data 400 may be accumulated in the bookmark management data 400 in the bookmark database BMDB to perform the association.

  Furthermore, in the above-described publication management database BDB, purchased publications are managed in units of publication versions. In addition, for example, the publications are managed in units of purchasers. It can also be configured.

  Furthermore, the control program for each server SV or each terminal device T corresponding to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12 and 14 is recorded on the flexible disk, hard disk, ROM 18 or 39, etc. It is also possible to use the computer as each CPU 17 or 38 according to the embodiment by recording it on a medium or by acquiring and recording it via the Internet or the like, and reading and executing these on a general-purpose computer.
