When the items “Provide Topic” and “Update Information” are displayed on the menu screen, and a click on “Provide Topic” is detected as an event,
Topic character information (for example, on the same screen as the character image)
"Today is XX anniversary. Origin is ..." is displayed (or audio information is output).

On the other hand, if a click on “information update” is detected as an event, a topic (article genre) selection screen to be updated is displayed as shown in FIG. FIG. 5 is a display example of a selection screen for a topic (genre of article) to be updated. When any one of the topics (for example, “game / industry news”) is designated (clicked) with a mouse and selected (detection of an information update start command) (S300), a connection to the server is displayed on the same screen as the character image. Character information (for example, “access server”) is displayed, and information update unit 130 of user terminal 100 is displayed.
Accesses the server 200 (S301) and transmits the genre of the selected article (S305).

When data is registered in the article evaluation table 120 at the time of this access (S302:
Yes), the result transmitting unit 150 of the user terminal 100
The registration data (article ID, display time, reaction,
(S30) is transmitted to the server 200 (S30).
4). The result receiving unit 230 of the server 200 stores the received registration data in the article evaluation table 22 as a browsing status DB.
0 (S304).

Upon receiving the genre of the selected article, the information distribution unit 230 of the server 200 uses the genre as a search key and sets the article data table 21 as an article DB.
From 0, update information (new article data of the selected genre, etc.) is read (S306). The information distribution unit 230
An article ID for specifying the article is assigned to the read new article data (S307), and the user terminal 100
(S308).

Information update section 130 of user terminal 100
Stores (registers) the received article data in the article data table 120 in association with the article ID (S30).
9). The stored article data is displayed at a predetermined timing (S310). The display timing may be, for example, when the storage of the article data is completed.

FIG. 6 shows an example of article data display when the received article data is single. FIG. 7 shows an example of displaying article data selection items when there are a plurality of received article data.

When the received article data is single (when one new article data classified into the selected genre is registered), the processing section 150
The balloon image is displayed on the same screen as the character image, and the received article data is displayed in the display area of the balloon image (S311).

At this time, the article I of the displayed article data
D is displayed in the display time column 132.
0, the time acquired from the clock section inside is registered. In the display area of the balloon image, selectable items ("Hmm, indeed" and "I don't care ...") to which the evaluation is associated are also displayed. When "Hmm, indeed" of the selectable items is designated (selected by clicking) with the mouse (S312: Yes), "+" is registered in the reaction column 133 corresponding to the article ID of the displayed article data. (S313). "I don't care ..." is indicated by a mouse as a selectable item (selection by clicking)
When this is done (S312: Yes), "-" is registered in the reaction column (S313).

On the other hand, when there are a plurality of received article data (when a plurality of new article data classified into the selected genre are registered), as shown in FIG. 7, a balloon is displayed on the same screen as the character image. An image is displayed, and the first character string (or headline) of the received article data is displayed as an article data selection item in the display area of the balloon image. When one of the items is designated (clicked) with the mouse and selected (S310: Yes), the article data which is the details of the selected item is displayed in the balloon image display area (S311).

When this item is selected, the selection order is registered in the selection order column 133 corresponding to the article ID of the selected article data (S304). In the display time column 132 corresponding to the article ID of the selected (displayed) article data, the time acquired from the clock unit inside the user terminal 100 is registered.

In the display area of the balloon image in which the selected article data is displayed, selectable items ("Hmm, indeed" and "Either way") are displayed in the same manner as when a single piece of article data is displayed. No ...) is also displayed. When "Hmm, indeed" of the selectable items is designated (clicked) with the mouse (S312: Yes), a response column 133 corresponding to the article ID of the displayed article data.
Is registered in (S313). When "Do not care ..." is designated (clicked) with the mouse as a selectable item (S312: Yes), "-" is registered in the reaction column 133 (S313).

The data (article ID, display time, response, and selection order) registered in the article evaluation data table 130 as described above is transmitted to the server 200 upon detection of the information update start instruction. Viewing status DB
Will be registered in the article evaluation table 220.

The analysis / aggregation unit 240 of the server 200 can perform various analysis / aggregation based on data registered in the article evaluation table 220 as a browsing status DB.

For example, in the article evaluation table 220 as the browsing situation DB, the article ID transmitted from the user terminal 100 (there may be a plurality) and the reaction to the article (indicated by “+” or “−”) Is registered, and, for example, it is possible to judge the user's preference for the article by summing up the response for each article and outputting (displaying or printing) the summation result.
Therefore, in the subsequent presentation of article data, processing such as registering article data with a high user preference in the article data table 210 as an article DB and providing the article data to the user terminal 100 becomes possible.

Further, the totaling result is compared with a preset threshold value (for example, the lowest line of “−” evaluation), and the result is lower than the threshold value (lowest line of “−” evaluation). By outputting (displaying or printing) the article ID in a different manner (color or bold) from other article IDs, it is possible to grasp at a glance unpopular articles.

In the article evaluation table 220 as the browsing status DB, the article ID transmitted from the user terminal 100 (there may be a plurality) and the selection order (display order) of the article are registered. Article DB
In the article data table 210, the article ID and the genre of the article are registered.

Therefore, it is possible to associate the genre with the selection order of the genre by the article ID, and by summing up the priorities for each genre and outputting (displaying or printing) the counting result, the user's genre can be displayed. It becomes possible to judge tastes. Therefore,
Subsequent presentation of article data enables processing such as registering article data of a genre with a high user preference in the article data table 210 as an article DB and providing the article data to the user terminal 100.

Although the selection order column 134 in the article evaluation table 130 has been described so that the selection order of the article data selection item (for example, the heading of the article data) is registered as data relating to the display order of the article data. For example, a score of 3 for the first selected (or displayed) item and a score of 2 for the second selected item
, A score of 3 for items selected after the third,
A score of 0 may be registered for an item not selected.

The data thus registered is stored in the server 200
, And registered in the article evaluation table 220 as the browsing status DB (and totaling the scores). In this case, since the genre is set in the article data, it is considered that the user having the highest score is interested in the user. Therefore, in the subsequent presentation of article data, processing such as preferentially displaying a genre having a high degree of interest becomes possible.

Further, since the article ID and the display time of the article are registered in the article evaluation table 220 as the browsing situation DB, it is possible to express the user's preference with a graph over time. By outputting (displaying or printing) this, it is possible to grasp a change in the user's preference.

Note that the selectable items associated with the evaluation may be displayed as follows to obtain a response from the user. At a predetermined timing, a question for obtaining an affirmative or negative response from the user and options for answering the question are displayed on the same screen as the character image. As a question to get a positive or negative response, "Do you know" △ "of XX software? ".

As options for answering a question, positive and negative options such as "Yeah" and "No" can be considered. When the positive selection is selected, the latest information (article data) and selectable items for “△” of the XX software are displayed. On the other hand, when the negative option is selected, the detailed description (article data), the latest information (article data), and selectable items for “△” of the XX software are displayed.

As the selectable items, there can be considered selection options of an impression on the displayed latest information, for example, "It looks interesting" and "Fun ...". "It looks interesting."
Is selected, the response column 13 of the corresponding article ID
“+” Will be registered in 3. "Hmm ..."
Is selected, "-" is registered in the reaction column 133.
