FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a display control process according to the first embodiment. In FIG. 1, a part of a page W (for example, a web page) on which the first advertisement content C1 and the second advertisement content C2 are arranged is displayed in a display area of the browser by a terminal device having a browser (for example, a web browser). An example is shown. Hereinafter, an area displayed on the browser in the page W is referred to as a visible area VA.

  The first advertisement content C1 is, for example, a moving image advertisement inserted into the page W, and the second advertisement content C2 is, for example, a banner advertisement set in advance at a predetermined position on the page W.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the page W includes, for example, an article AR such as news and an advertising space D2. The article AR includes first to third portions AR1 to AR3. Each portion AR1 to AR3 includes, for example, one or more sentences and one or more paragraphs.

  In the example shown in FIG. 1, the vertical size of the page W is longer than the vertical size of the display area of the browser. For this reason, the area of the page located within the display area of the browser is displayed, and the area of the page located outside the display area of the browser is not displayed. The user of the terminal device can change the area positioned in the browser display area of the page, for example, by scrolling.

The first advertisement content C1 is slid in. Thereby, the formation speed of the first content area 85 can be changed according to the scroll speed, and the first content area 85 can be appropriately formed even when the scroll speed is fast.

  Further, the display control unit 45 changes the slide-in speed of the first advertisement content C1 according to the scroll speed. For example, if the scroll speed is fast, the speed at which the visual effect is applied to the first advertisement content C1, that is, the slide-in speed of the first advertisement content C1 is increased. Thereby, even when the scroll speed is fast, the first advertisement content C1 can be appropriately slid in.

  In the example shown in FIG. 7, the first content area 85 is formed by being inserted at the insertion position P1 (see FIG. 6), but the display control unit 45 scrolls the insertion position of the first content area 85, for example. It can be changed according to the speed. For example, when the scroll speed is equal to or higher than a predetermined value, the display control unit 45 sets the insertion position of the first content region 85 as the insertion position P2. The first content area 85 may not be inserted but may be fixedly formed on the web page 70 in advance.

  Further, in the example illustrated in FIG. 7, when the display control unit 45 slides in the first advertisement content C1, for example, the display control unit 45 increases the first advertisement content C1 toward the first content area 85 according to the scroll speed. The display area 71 is moved. Accordingly, the size of the first advertisement content C1 can be changed according to the scrolling speed, and the first advertisement content C1 can be displayed in the display area 71 so as to be visually noticed. It can be displayed effectively.

  In addition, the display control unit 45 erases the first advertisement content from the display area 71 by applying a visual effect to the first advertisement content under a predetermined condition. For example, the display control unit 45 slides out the first advertisement content C1 from the display area 71 under a predetermined condition. The slide-out is an example of a visual effect in which the first advertisement content is moved from the first content area 85 so as to be outside the display area 71, for example. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a slide-out state of the first advertisement content C1 by the display control unit 45. As shown in FIG.

  As illustrated in FIG. 8, for example, after the first advertisement content C1 is displayed in the first content area 85, the display control unit 45 is scrolled in the reverse direction to part of the second advertisement content C2 (for example, the entire content). 1/4) falls within the display area 71, for example, the first advertisement content C1 is slid out of the display area 71. Thereby, the first advertisement content C1 can be erased from the display area 71 so as to visually attract attention, and the first advertisement content C1 can be effectively erased.

  In the example illustrated in FIG. 8, for example, the display control unit 45 slides out the first advertisement content C <b> 1 while gradually decreasing the first content area 85 according to the scroll speed and erasing it. Accordingly, the disappearance speed of the first content area 85 can be changed according to the scroll speed, and the first content area 85 can be appropriately disappeared even when the scroll speed is fast.

  In addition, the display control unit 45 changes the slide-out speed of the first advertisement content C1 according to the scroll speed. For example, if the scroll speed is fast, the speed at which the visual effect is applied to the first advertisement content C1, that is, the slide-out speed of the first advertisement content C1 is increased. Thereby, even when the scroll speed is fast, the first advertisement content C1 can be appropriately slid out.

  In the example illustrated in FIG. 8, when the display control unit 45 slides out the first advertisement content C1, for example, the display control unit 45 displays the first advertisement content C1 while reducing the first advertisement content C1 toward the outside of the display area 71 according to the scroll speed. Move outside the area 71. Accordingly, the first advertisement content C1 can be displayed in the display area 71 so as to be visually noticed, and therefore the first advertisement content C1 can be effectively erased.

  For example, when the first advertisement content C1 is slid in, the display control unit 45 calculates the size and position of the area to be inserted from the advertisement insertion position and the size information of the first advertisement content C1, and the web page 70 is calculated. The first content area 85 is inserted into

  For example, the upper left origin coordinate of the advertisement insertion position is W (100, 500), the size of the first advertisement content C1 is 80 × 30, and the size of the web page 70 is 640 × 2000. In this case, the display control unit 45 forms the first content area 85 in the range of W (100 to 180, 500 to 530). Further, the display control unit 45 moves the region that is W (0 to 640, 500 to 2000) to W (0 to 640, 530 to 2030).

  In the example shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, when the first advertisement content C1 is inserted or deleted, the first content area 85 is inserted or deleted. 70 may be formed.

  Further, in the example illustrated in FIG. 7, the example in which the first advertisement content C1 moves from the outside of the display area 71 to the first content area 85 has been illustrated. However, the display control unit 45 forms the first content area 85 while The first advertisement content C1 can be displayed in the first content area 85 in accordance with the size of the first content area 85.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating another example of the visual effect applied to the first advertisement content C1. As shown in FIG. 9, when a part of the second advertisement content C2 displayed in the display area 71 is outside the display area 71, the first content area 85 is formed in the display area 71. The first advertisement content C1 is formed in the first content area 85. Such visual effects are performed by changing the shape and size of the first advertisement content C1, as shown in FIG.

  Note that, similarly to the case illustrated in FIG. 7, the display control unit 45 can perform the formation speed of the first advertisement content C1 and the formation of the first content area 85 according to the scroll speed, for example. Similarly to the case shown in FIG. 8, after the first advertisement content C1 is displayed in the first content area 85, the display control unit 45 is scrolled in the reverse direction and part of the second advertisement content C2 (for example, When 1/4 of the whole is within the display area 71, the first advertisement content C1 can be erased while changing the shape and size of the first advertisement content C1. In this case as well, the display control unit 45 can change the erasing speed of the first advertisement content C1 and the disappearance speed of the first content area 85 according to the scroll speed, for example.

  Note that the display control unit 45 can also display the first advertisement content C1 so that it gradually appears in the first content region 85 after the first content region 85 is formed. For example, the display control unit 45 can fade in the first advertisement content C1 to the first content area 85 after the first content area 85 is formed. The display control unit 45 can also fade out the first advertisement content C1 as a visual effect when erasing the first advertisement content C1.

  Further, in the example illustrated in FIG. 7, the example in which the first advertisement content C1 moves from the one direction (right side) outside the display area 71 to the first content area 85 has been described. It is also possible to divide the advertising content C1 into two parts, a right part and a left part, and move them to the first content area 85 from different directions.

  For example, the display control unit 45 moves the first advertising content in the left part from the left outside the display area 71 and moves the first advertising content in the right part from the right outside the display area 71 to the first content area 85, In the first content area 85, the first advertisement content in the left part and the first advertisement content in the right part are merged. Note that the display control unit 45 can also move the first advertisement content from the up-down direction or the diagonal direction, instead of moving from the left-right direction.

  Further, the display control unit 45 acquires the coordinate information of the contact position of the terminal user with respect to the display area 71 of the display unit 32 from the display processing unit 43, and the moving direction of the first advertisement content C1 based on the coordinate information of the contact position. Can also be determined.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram showing still another example of the visual effect applied to the first advertisement content C1 by the display control unit 45. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 10, when a part or all of the second advertisement content C2 displayed in the display area 71 is outside the display area 71 due to the scroll operation to the display area 71 by the terminal user, the terminal The first advertisement content C1 is moved to the first content area 85 from the position (right side) opposite to the contact position (right side) of the user's finger 90 with the display area 71. Thereby, the discomfort given to the terminal user at the time of slide-in can be suppressed.

  On the other hand, when a part of the second advertisement content C2 displayed in the display area 71 is outside the display area 71 due to the scroll operation to the display area 71 of the terminal user, the contact position to the display area 71 of the terminal user The first advertising content C1 can be moved to the first content area 85 from (for example, the right side). Thereby, the gaze degree with respect to the 1st advertisement content C1 can be improved by improving the impact which the 1st advertisement content C1 gives.

  Moreover, the display control part 45 can slide out the 1st advertisement content C1 to the display area 71 of a terminal user according to a contact position. For example, after the first advertising content C1 is displayed in the first content area 85, the display control unit 45 is scrolled in the reverse direction to display a part of the second advertising content C2 (for example, 1/4 of the entire content). When the area is within the area 71, the first advertisement content C1 can be slid out toward the contact position (for example, the right side) to the display area 71 of the terminal user, and the first advertisement content C1 in the reverse direction. You can also slide out.

  In the above example, the area displayed in the browser display area 71 of the web page 70 has been described as the visible area VA. However, for example, a part of the browser display area 71 deviates from the display area of the display unit 32. The visible area VA is an area (hereinafter referred to as an overlapping display area) displayed in the area where the display area of the display unit 32 and the display area 71 of the browser overlap in the web page 70. Also good.

  In this case, the display processing unit 43 calculates the coordinates of the overlapping display region and notifies the visible region acquiring unit 44 of information on the coordinates of the overlapping display region. The visible region acquisition unit 44 acquires information on the coordinates of the overlapping display region. The display control unit 45 sets the overlapping display area as the visible area VA. The display control unit 45 adds a visual effect to the first advertisement content based on the overlapping display area, similarly to the case where the visible area VA is an area displayed in the entire browser display area 71 of the web page 70. However, the first advertisement content can be inserted into the overlap display area, or the first advertisement content can be deleted from the overlap display area while adding a visual effect to the first advertisement content.
