Abstract

A server device that creates a web page including n content file names, in order from the largest browsing index, and obtains one piece of content having the largest browsing index. The server device responds with the web page and one piece of content and causes the content to be displayed by a client device. The server device receives a content acquisition request from the client device, said request including one file name for content not yet obtained among the file names on the web page. The server device responds with one piece of content, on the basis of the file name in the content acquisition request, and causes a screen also including the one piece of content to be refreshed and displayed by the client device. The server device repeatedly executes content responses from when the content acquisition request is received until a screen including the n pieces of content in order of largest browsing index is refreshed and displayed.

Description

Content display method, server device, and storage medium

Embodiments described herein relate generally to a content display method, a server device, and a storage medium.

Recently, a content display method in which a client device acquires and displays a Web page and each content from a server device is known. The server device stores a plurality of contents such as games and a Web page for displaying each predetermined content.

FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram for explaining this type of content display method. When the URL (uniform resource locator) of the screen A is input by the operation of the user U, the client device 1 transmits a request including the URL to the server device 2. Thereafter, the client device 1 displays a loading screen indicating a state during reading.

When the server apparatus 2 receives the request from the client apparatus 1, the server apparatus 2 reads the Web page on the screen A based on the URL in the request. In part of the Web page, the file names of the contents a to e are individually described in order from the top line.

The server device 2 executes a process (content a process) for acquiring the content a based on the file name of the content a described in the Web page. Similarly, the server device 2 sequentially executes the contents b to e processing.

Thereby, the server apparatus 2 acquires all the contents a to e described on the Web page of the screen A.

Thereafter, the server device 2 returns a response including the Web page and all the contents a to e to the client device 1.

Upon receiving this response, the client device 1 stops displaying the loading screen and displays the screen A including all the contents a to e based on the Web page in the response.

However, the display method in which the client device 1 and the server device 2 are synchronized in this manner is a method in which one request for the screen A is transmitted and one response for the screen A is returned. Therefore, in this display method, it is necessary to include all the contents a to e in the response of the screen A. Therefore, when the screen A includes various types of contents a, b,..., The display completion of the screen A is delayed.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 13, the display in the screen A is dynamically updated so that the content is loaded in units of the screen A and the contents a to e in the screen A are sequentially increased from the top. Asynchronous type content display methods are known.

According to the asynchronous content display method, the contents a to e are displayed in order from the top, so that the waiting time of the user until a part of the Web page is displayed can be shortened.

For such an asynchronous content display method, for example, the technique of Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript (registered trademark) + XML) can be used (for example, see Non-Patent Document 1).

However, the content display method as described above normally has no problem, but according to the study of the present inventors, there is room for improvement in the following points.

That is, there is a demand for the user to display not each predetermined content but each popular content or content with a higher user preference without waiting too much. In addition, each popular content and each content requested by a user often changes. For this reason, as a content display method, a method of asynchronously displaying each content according to the current popularity or the user's preference instead of each predetermined content is desirable.

On the other hand, the conventional content display method does not support such a method. Therefore, the conventional content display method has room for improvement in that each content cannot be displayed asynchronously according to the popularity of each content or the user's preference.

An object of the present invention is to provide a content display method, a server device, and a storage medium that can display each content asynchronously according to the popularity of each content.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a content display method capable of displaying each content asynchronously according to the user's preference.

One aspect of the present invention is a content display method in which a server apparatus that manages n or more contents and has a storage unit displays n contents on a client apparatus, and the server apparatus includes the n or more contents. Updating and storing history data indicating a history of browsing of each of the contents in the storage unit, and the server device, based on the history data, each file name of the n or more contents, a step of updating and storing browsing information associated with a browsing index indicating a degree of browsing of each of the n or more contents in the storage unit; and the server device sends a data acquisition request for the display to the client A first request receiving step received from the apparatus, and the server apparatus based on the received data acquisition request and the browsing information. And creating a Web page including file names of n pieces of content in descending order of the browsing index, obtaining one content associated with the largest browsing index, and the server device including the creation A first response step of causing the client device to display a screen including the one content based on the Web page by responding the acquired Web page and the acquired one content to the client device; The server device receives a content acquisition request including one file name of unacquired content from the client device in descending order of the browsing index among the file names in the responding Web page. The process and the server device 1 based on the file name in the content acquisition request A second response step of causing the client device to update and display the screen so as to further include the one content by acquiring the content and responding the one content to the client device; A content display comprising: a step of repeatedly executing the second request receiving step and the second response step until the screen is updated and displayed so that the device includes n pieces of content in descending order of the browsing index. Is the method.

According to another aspect of the present invention, in the content display method described above, the history data includes a file name of each of the n or more contents and a user identification that identifies the client device or identifies a user of the client device The browsing information includes the user identification information associated with each file name and the browsing index, and the server device receives the reception as the step of acquiring the content. Based on the data acquisition request and the browsing information, the user identification information in the browsing information is associated with the user identification information in the browsing information that matches the user identification information included in the data acquisition request. Creating a web page including file names of n content items in descending order of the browsing index; A server device that obtains one content associated with the largest browsing index among the browsing indices associated with the user identification information in the matching browsing information. Is the method.

The present invention can display each content asynchronously according to the popularity of each content. Or this invention can display each content asynchronously according to a user preference.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 8, the software of the combined configuration is installed in advance on each computer from a network or non-transitory computer-readable storage medium Ma, Mb, Mc. Then, a program for causing each computer to realize the functions of the

devices

10 and 20 by being executed by the processor of each computer is used.

<First Embodiment>
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a configuration of a client server system to which a content display method according to a first embodiment of the present invention is applied. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing an example of browsing information used in the method.

This content display method is a method in which the server apparatus 20 that manages n or more contents and has the storage unit 21 causes the client apparatus 1 to display n contents.

The client server system also includes a client device 1 and a server device 20. There are an arbitrary plurality of client devices 1. Here, one client device 1 is shown as a representative example. The

devices

1 and 20 can communicate with each other via a computer network 30 and a mobile communication network 40.

As the computer network 30, any network that enables communication between computers can be applied, and the Internet is used here.

As the mobile communication network 40, any communication network that enables communication of a computer as a mobile communication device such as a mobile phone, a smartphone, and a tablet terminal is applicable.

As the client device 1, for example, a tablet terminal such as iPad (registered trademark) using an OS (operating system) such as iOS or a smartphone using an OS such as Android (registered trademark) can be used as appropriate. It has become.

The client device 1 is a portable communication device in this example, but is not limited thereto, and may be a stationary computer such as a desktop personal computer.

In other words, the client device 1 may be a computer that has a memory for storing a Web browser program and a processor for executing the program and can communicate with the server device 20.

Here, the server device 20 includes a storage unit 21, a browsing information update unit 22, and a response processing unit 23.

The storage unit 21 is a storage device that can be read / written from the

units

22 and 23, and stores n or more contents, history data, and browsing information 21a.

The n or more contents are, for example, contents such as games. n is the number of popular contents displayed on one web page. The lower limit of n is 2 instead of 1 because this embodiment uses asynchronous communication. The upper limit of n is not an excessive value for the Web page to display content, and is, for example, 30. That is, n is in the range of 2 to 30, for example. Usually, the value of n is 2, 3, 5, 10, 20 or 30. These values of n exemplify values of n that are usually used for the expression of top n, such as top 2, top 3, top 5, top 10, top 20, top 30, and the like. These upper limits and values of n are not limited to the exemplified upper limits and values, and arbitrary upper limits and values can be used. Since the storage unit 21 stores n or more contents, the storage unit 21 may store n contents, but normally stores m contents significantly more than n.

The history data is data indicating a history of browsing each of the n or more contents, and is updated and stored in the storage unit 21 by the browsing information update unit 22. The history data includes, for example, the file name of the content and the viewing date / time (transmission date / time) of the content. Furthermore, the history data may include user identification information (eg, IP address, account information, etc.) for identifying the viewed user.

As shown in FIG. 2, the browsing information 21a is information in which the file name of each of the n or more contents is associated with a browsing index indicating the degree to which each of the n or more contents has been browsed. is there. The browsing information 21 a is updated and stored in the storage unit 21 by the browsing information update unit 22. Since the degree of browsing increases as the popularity increases, the browsing index is also a value corresponding to the popularity of the content. The browsing information 21a shown in FIG. 2 is an example of n = 5, and the file name of each of five or more contents and the browsing index are associated with each other. In the browsing information 21a shown in FIG. 2, the browsing order is further associated with the purpose of facilitating understanding, but the browsing order may be omitted. The browsing order indicates the order of the browsing index. For this reason, when the browsing index is not omitted, “in descending order of browsing index” described later can be read as “in descending order of browsing order”.

Examples of the browsing index include a page view (PV) indicating the number of times the content has been browsed, a unique user (UU) indicating the number of users who have browsed the content, and a daily active indicating the number of users per day who have browsed the content. A user (DAU) or a weekly active user (WAU) indicating the number of users per week who browse contents can be used as appropriate.

Note that when the browsing index is PV, the user identification information may be omitted from the history data. When the browsing index is UU, DAU, or WAU, the history data includes user identification information.

The browsing information update unit 22 has the following functions (f22-1) to (f22-2), for example.

(F22-1) A history data update function that updates and saves history data indicating a history of browsing each of n or more contents in the storage unit 21.

(f22-2) Based on the history data, the browsing information 21a in which the file name of each of the n or more contents is associated with a browsing index indicating the degree to which each of the n or more contents is browsed Browsing information update function for updating and storing the information in the storage unit 21.

The response processing unit 23 has the following functions (f23-1) to (f23-6), for example.

(F23-1) A first request reception function for receiving a data acquisition request for display from the client device 1.

(f23-2) Based on the received data acquisition request and the browsing information 21a, a web page including file names of n contents in descending order of browsing index is created and associated with the largest browsing index. An acquisition function that acquires one piece of content.

(f23-3) Displaying the screen including the one content on the client device 1 based on the Web page by responding the created web page and the acquired one content to the client device 1 First response function to be made.

(f23-4) Second request reception for receiving a content acquisition request including one file name of unacquired content from the client device 1 in descending order of the browsing index among the file names in the responding Web page function.

(f23-5) Acquire one content based on the file name in the content acquisition request, and respond to the client device 1 with the one content so as to further include the one content A second response function that causes the client device 1 to update and display the screen.

(f23-6) The second request reception function (f23-4) and the second response function (f23-5) are repeatedly executed until the screen is updated and displayed to include n contents in descending order of browsing index. Control function to control.

The browsing information update unit 22 and the response processing unit 23 may be realized by, for example, a CPU (central processing unit) (not shown) executing a program including each step in the server device 20 described later. The same applies to the following embodiments.

Next, a content display method by the client server system configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 3 and the schematic diagram of FIG.

First, the server device 20 publishes n or more contents in the storage unit 21 on the Web page to the client device 1 and other client devices (not shown). These client devices can browse the contents by accessing the Web page of the server device 20 as appropriate.

In the server device 20, as shown in FIG. 3, the browsing information updating unit 22 updates and stores history data indicating a history of browsing each of the n or more contents in the storage unit 21 (ST1). In many cases, the history data indicates a history in which each content is browsed from another client device (not shown) different from the client device 1.

The browsing information update unit 22 also browses the file name of each of the n or more contents and a browsing index indicating the degree of browsing of each of the n or more contents based on the history data. The information 21a is updated and stored in the storage unit 21 (ST2).

As the browsing index, for example, page view (PV), unique user (UU), daily active user (DAU) or weekly active user (WAU) is used. For example, an access counter that counts the number of accesses to each content may be used for such browsing index measurement. In the measurement of the browsing index, an access counter having a function of excluding the same address (user identification information) and an access counter not having the function are appropriately defined as browsing index definitions (for example, PV, UU, DAU, or WAU). It may be used according to the definition of

In any case, it is assumed that the URL of the screen A is input by the operation of the user U in the client device 1 as shown in FIG. 4 while the history data and the browsing information 21a are updated and stored.

At this time, the client device 1 transmits a request including the URL to the server device 2. Thereafter, the client device 1 displays a loading screen indicating a state during reading. The request including the URL of screen A corresponds to a data acquisition request for displaying screen A.

In the server device 20, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the response processing unit 23 receives a data acquisition request for the display from the client device 1 (ST3).

Based on the received data acquisition request and the browsing information 21a, the response processing unit 23 creates a Web page including file names of n (= 5) pieces of content a to e in descending order of browsing index, One content a associated with the largest browsing index is acquired (ST4). Note that n = 5 is an example, and the number of contents is not limited to five.

The response processing unit 23 responds (responses) the created web page and the acquired one content a to the client device 1, thereby the screen A including the one content a based on the web page. Is displayed on the client device 1 (ST5).

Note that the processing of steps ST4 to ST5 is a case where a web page and content a of different files are responded to each other. However, the present invention is not limited to this. .

In this case, in step ST4, for example, a Web page template in which a script tag is described in advance in a part of the HTML (hypertext markup language) code is stored in the storage unit 21, and the content is located at a position surrounded by the script tag. A web page may be created by inserting the JavaScript code a. In step ST5, the web page created in step ST4 (a web page including the code of content a and the file names of content b to e) may be returned. Such modifications of steps ST4 to ST5 can be similarly implemented in the following embodiments. However, the processes in steps ST4 to ST5 are not modified here because they can respond more quickly without modification.

In any case, the response processing unit 23 issues a content acquisition request including one file name of unacquired content from the client device 1 in descending order of the browsing index among the file names in the responding Web page. Receive (ST6).

The response processing unit 23 acquires one content based on the file name in the content acquisition request, and further includes the one content by responding to the client device 1 with the one content. The screen A is updated and displayed on the client device 1 (ST7).

The response processing unit 23 repeatedly executes steps ST6 to ST7 until the screen A is updated and displayed so as to include n (= 5) pieces of content in descending order of browsing index (ST8).

As described above, on the client device 1, the screen A is updated and displayed so as to include the five contents a to e in descending order of the browsing index.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, each content is displayed asynchronously according to the popularity of each content by the configuration in which the screen A is updated and displayed so as to sequentially include n content in descending order of browsing index. Can do.

When the browsing index is a page view (PV), a unique user (UU), a daily active user (DAU), or a weekly active user (WAU), depending on the value of the PV, UU, DAU or WAU Each content can be displayed asynchronously.

For example, when the browsing index is PV, each content can be displayed asynchronously according to the number of times the content is browsed.

When the browsing index is UU, each content can be displayed asynchronously according to the number of users who have browsed the content.

When the browsing index is DAU, each content can be displayed asynchronously according to the number of users per day who browse the content.

When the browsing index is WAU, each content can be displayed asynchronously according to the number of users per week who browse the content.

<Second Embodiment>
Next, a content display method according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

The second embodiment is a modification of the first embodiment in which each content is displayed asynchronously according to the popularity of each content, and each content is displayed asynchronously according to the user's preference.

Accordingly, the history data includes the file name of each of the n or more contents and user identification information for identifying the client device 1 or identifying the user U of the client device 1.

Further, the browsing information 21a 'is information obtained by modifying the browsing information 21a shown in FIG. 2, and the user identification information is associated with each file name and browsing index as shown in FIG. Note that the symbol “U1” in FIG. 5 abstractly represents user identification information (eg, IP address, account information, etc.) that identifies the client device 1 or identifies the user U of the client device 1 as described above. ing. This browsing index indicates the degree to which each of the n or more pieces of content has been browsed, and more specifically, is an index corresponding to a page view (PV) indicating the number of times the content has been browsed. In addition, since the browsing order is shown for the purpose of facilitating the understanding as described above, it may be omitted.

Also, the acquisition function (f23-2) of the response processing unit 23 includes the following functions (f23-2-1) and (f23-2-2).

(f23-2-1) Based on the received data acquisition request and browsing information 21a ′, the browsing corresponding to the user identification information included in the data acquisition request among the user identification information in browsing information 21a ′ A function of creating a Web page including file names of n contents in descending order of browsing index associated with the user identification information in the information 21a ′.

(F23-2-2) A function of acquiring one content associated with the largest browsing index among the browsing indices associated with the user identification information in the matching browsing information 21a '.

Other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment.

Next, a content display method by the client server system configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 6 and the schematic diagram of FIG. In the following description, substantially the same parts as those in FIG. 3 in the flowchart of FIG. 6 are denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof is omitted, and different parts are mainly described here. Similarly, the following embodiments are not described repeatedly. Further, the schematic diagram of FIG. 4 ignores the difference between the symbols “” ”,“ ”′”, “” ”attached to the right shoulder of the step ST number and the symbols“ 1 ”,“ 10 ”of the client device 1. These are commonly used in each embodiment.

In the server device 20, the browsing information update unit 22 updates and stores history data indicating a history of browsing each of the n or more contents in the storage unit 21 (ST1 '). This history data includes the file name of each content and user identification information.

In addition, the browsing information update unit 22 updates and stores browsing information 21 a ′ in which the user identification information, the file name of each content, and the browsing index of each content are associated with each other based on the history data. (ST2 ′).

As the browsing index, for example, a page view (PV) is used. For example, an access counter that counts the number of accesses to each content may be used for each user identification information for measuring the browsing index.

In any case, in the state where the history data and the browsing information 21a ′ are updated and stored, the client device 1 performs a request including the URL of the screen A (for display of the screen A) by the operation of the user U as described above. (Data acquisition request) is transmitted to the server device 20. Thereafter, the client device 1 displays a loading screen indicating a state during reading.

In the server device 20, as described above, the response processing unit 23 receives a data acquisition request for the display from the client device 1 (ST3).

Based on the received data acquisition request and the browsing information 21a ′, the response processing unit 23 matches the user identification information included in the data acquisition request among the user identification information in the browsing information 21a ′. Web pages including file names of n (= 5) pieces of content a to e are created in descending order of the browsing index associated with the user identification information in the information 21a ′.

Further, the response processing unit 23 acquires one content a associated with the largest browsing index among the browsing indexes associated with the user identification information in the matching browsing information 21a ′ (ST4 ′). . Note that n = 5 is an example, and the number of contents is not limited to five.

Through such steps ST1 ′ to ST4 ′, the server device 20 creates a Web page including the file names of the contents a to e according to the user's preference and the contents a based on the user identification information and the browsing index. Obtainable.

Thereafter, steps ST5 to ST8 are executed in the same manner as described above.

Thereby, in the client device 1, the screen A is updated and displayed so as to include the five contents a to e in descending order of the browsing index associated with the user identification information.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the screen A is updated and displayed so as to sequentially include the n contents in descending order of the browsing index associated with the user identification information. Can be displayed asynchronously.

<Third Embodiment>
Next, a content display method according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described.

The third embodiment is a modification of the first embodiment in which each content is displayed asynchronously according to the popularity of each content, and each content is displayed asynchronously according to the user's preference. However, unlike the second embodiment, the user's preference is assumed not to correspond to the degree of browsing (browsing index) but to the date and time of browsing (browsing date and time). In other words, the third embodiment assumes a user who prefers content with a new browsing date, not a user who prefers content with a large browsing index.

Accordingly, the history data identifies the file name of each of the n or more contents, the browsing date and time indicating the date and time when each of the n or more contents is browsed, and identifies the client apparatus 1 or the client apparatus 1 User identification information for identifying the user.

Also, the browsing information 21a is omitted.

Similarly, the browsing information update unit 22 has the history data update function (f22-1) described above, and the browsing information update function (f22-2) is omitted. Note that “browsing information update unit 22” may be read as “history data update unit 22”.

Further, the response processing unit 23 uses the history data instead of the browsing information 21a as described in each step ST4 ″, ST6 ″ and ST8 ″ described later, Each function described above is changed in that

Other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment.

Next, a content display method by the client server system configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 7 and the schematic diagram of FIG.

In the server device 20, the browsing information update unit 22 updates and stores history data indicating a history of browsing each of the n or more contents in the storage unit 21 (ST1 '). This history data includes the file name of each content, browsing date and time, and user identification information.

In the state where the history data is updated and stored, the client device 1 sends a request including the URL of the screen A (data acquisition request for displaying the screen A) to the server device 20 by the operation of the user U as described above. Send. Thereafter, the client device 1 displays a loading screen indicating a state during reading.

Based on the received data acquisition request and history data, the response processing unit 23 includes the user identification information in the history data that matches the user identification information included in the data acquisition request. Create a web page including the file names of n (= 5) contents a to e in the order of browsing date and time associated with the user identification information, and acquire one content a associated with the latest browsing date and time (ST4 ″) Note that n = 5 is an example, and the number of contents is not limited to five.

Note that the processing in steps ST4 "to ST5 is a case where a web page and content a of different files are responded to each other, but as described above, it may be modified when a web page file containing content a is responded. .

In any case, the response processing unit 23 sends a content acquisition request including one file name of unacquired content from the client device 1 in order of the browsing date and time among the file names in the responding Web page. Receive (ST6 ").

The response processing unit 23 repeatedly executes steps ST6 "to ST7 until the screen A is updated and displayed so as to include n (= 5) pieces of content in order of browsing date and time (ST8").

As described above, in the client device 1, the screen A is updated and displayed so as to include the five contents a to e in the order of the browsing date and time associated with the user identification information.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the screen A is updated and displayed so as to sequentially include the n pieces of content in the order of the browsing date and time associated with the user identification information. Can be displayed asynchronously.

<Fourth Embodiment>
Next, a content display method according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described.

The fourth embodiment is a modification of the first embodiment in which the server device 20 updates and saves history data and browsing information 21a. In the fourth embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the browsing information update unit 22 in the server device 20 and the browsing information 21 a in the storage unit 21 are omitted, and the history update unit 12 in the client device 10 is omitted. Is a form in which history data and browsing information 11 a are updated and stored in the storage unit 11.

Here, the client device 10 includes a storage unit 11, a history update unit 12, and a request processing unit 13.

The storage unit 11 is a storage device that can be read / written from the

units

12 and 13, and stores at least n contents, history data, and browsing information 11a.

The n pieces of content are content such as games, for example, and are acquired from the server device 20. n is the same as in the first embodiment.

The history data is data indicating a history of browsing each of the n or more contents, and is updated and stored in the storage unit 11 by the history update unit 12. The history data includes, for example, the file name of the content and the viewing date / time (reception date / time) of the content.

As shown in FIG. 9, the browsing information 11 a is information in which the file name of each content browsed is associated with a browsing index indicating the degree to which each content has been browsed, and is stored by the history update unit 12. The update is stored in the unit 11. Since the degree of browsing increases as the user's preference is met, the browsing index is also a value corresponding to the user's preference. The browsing information 11a shown in FIG. 9 is an example of n = 5, and the file name of each of five or more contents and the browsing index are associated with each other. Further, the browsing information 11a shown in FIG. 9 may be omitted as described above.
