Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an information access request processing method, an information access request processing system, an information access request processing device, a program therefor, and a recording medium, and more particularly, for obtaining desired information via a network. The present invention relates to an information access request processing method, an information access request processing system, an information access request processing device, a program therefor, and a recording medium for providing access information related to an information access request.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, the Internet has become widespread and various kinds of information can be acquired via the Internet.
On the Internet, there are sites as information sources. A user can obtain various desired information by accessing those sites via the Internet using a terminal device such as a personal computer (hereinafter referred to as a PC).

Many sites are independently established on the Internet as information sources. Therefore, in order to obtain desired information, a user can search using a search engine such as a portal site or a home page (hereinafter,
Also abbreviated as HP. The user searches for the desired information source by searching the above link.

[0004] The user uses the found HP as an information source suitable for his / her purpose at work or at home. Normally, the frequently used HP uses the bookmark function, which is one of the functions of the browser software running on the PC, to allow the user to directly jump to and access the site that is the information source. In this way, convenience is enhanced.

[0005] As described above, with the development of the Internet, many people are searching for information sources in order to obtain desired information, and what kind of information sources other people are accessing. There is a technique called bookmark sharing as a device to inform people. In this bookmark sharing, a plurality of people agree with each other first of all, the bookmark information of each member, that is, the URL (Uniform) that is the address on the Internet that the user bookmarks.
m Resource Locator) information is uploaded to the server device. Since the uploaded bookmark information of another person can be used by each member via the server device which is a shared computer, each member can increase the information source and the information acquisition range. In particular, if some of your members are interested in similar information, you will have more sources available, rather than each member searching alone to find the source.
This enables efficient information acquisition.

[0006]

However, in order to share this bookmark, each member uploads his or her bookmark information to the server device, which is a shared computer, and each time the content of his or her bookmark information changes. Must be uploaded to the server device.
Therefore, the upload work is complicated.

There is also a method of automatically uploading the bookmark information data of each person to the server device. By using this automatic upload method,
This frees each member from the troublesome uploading work, but since all bookmarked contents are automatically uploaded, the users are afraid that their privacy cannot be protected. Therefore,
Some people will not actively use bookmark sharing.

The bookmark sharing cannot be used by others because the information that each member does not register as a bookmark is not included in the uploaded information. Furthermore, if there is a person who does not register bookmarks because of concern about privacy, the amount of data decreases, and as a result, the amount of data related to the information source decreases.

[0009]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an information access request processing system capable of reliably providing data of an information source having necessary information.

According to the information access request processing method of the present invention, when an information access request for obtaining desired information via a network is received, an information source having the desired information is accessed via the network. Acquire data relating to desired information from an information source, determine whether the acquired data matches a predetermined condition, and based on the result of the determination, store the acquired data in a storage device in a predetermined format. Store and provide access information about the information access request based on the stored data.

The filtering unit 11 checks whether or not the data supplied from the proxy server device 3 satisfies a predetermined condition, and only when the condition is satisfied, the data is directly supplied to the analysis unit 12 described later. From the proxy server device 3, data in the HTML language of HP or the like is supplied as it is, and it is determined whether or not the data meets a predetermined condition. For example, whether or not a predetermined condition is satisfied is determined depending on whether or not the data includes designated data (specific text or the like). As a result of the determination, when the HP data satisfies the predetermined condition, the HP data is directly transmitted to the analysis unit 12. The predetermined condition to be designated or set is, for example, whether or not the text "bulletin board" is included in the HTML data as a keyword. When the text "bulletin board" is included, the analysis unit 1
It is possible to set a condition that HP data is transmitted to the H.2. Only when the condition is met, the data received by the proxy server device 3 is supplied from the filtering unit 11 to the analysis unit 12. Therefore, it is the proxy server device 3 that determines the object to be filtered, the theme, etc., and the user is aware of what object is being filtered and uses this system.

In the following description, an example will be described in which the presence or absence of one keyword "bulletin board" is a determination condition as a filtering condition. That is, only when the information sent from the proxy server device 3 is a so-called bulletin board website, the information is analyzed by the analysis unit 1

Until then, if there are only two writes 26 and 27 in the HP of the BBS, the write data will be displayed below the unit information display section 27 as the third written information.

The analysis unit 12 analyzes the data sent from the filtering unit 11 and supplies only the predetermined data to the storage unit 13 in a predetermined format. In the present embodiment, the analysis unit 13 extracts, from the bulletin board data sent from the filtering unit 11, the name (or handle name) that identifies the person who posted to the bulletin board, the electronic mail address, and the like. The extracted data is converted into data of a predetermined format. The data in the predetermined format is, for example, tabular data. Then, the tabular data is transmitted to the storage unit 13 together with the URL which is the home page address of the bulletin board. The data in a predetermined format may be in a format other than the tabular format, and will be described later in the processing / utilization unit 1.
4 may be a format that can be processed or used. In addition, in order to extract predetermined data from the bulletin board data sent from the filtering unit 11,
A so-called parser or the like is used.

The storage unit 13 stores the data sent from the analysis unit 12 as an acquisition data storage means.
Therefore, the storage unit 13 stores information about which bulletin board (home page address), which person (information such as a handle name and electronic mail address that can identify the person) visited, that is, who wrote. This stored data is used by the processing / use unit 14.

The processing / utilizing section 14 serves as an access information providing means and provides information to the proxy server 3 by processing or utilizing the data stored in the storage section 13. The processing / usage unit 14 can output a bulletin board recommended for a person (user) based on the information (who visited which bulletin board) accumulated in the storage unit 13. That is, the data stored in the storage unit 13 is analyzed to predict the information source that matches the request from the user's PC, and the access information of the predicted information source, that is, the URL information is supplied to the PC. . More specifically, the data that the user often sees bulletin board A and bulletin board B is processed and
When it is sent to the usage unit 14, the processing / use unit 14 stores it in the storage unit 1.
Based on the information in 3 (who wrote which bulletin board), people who write on bulletin board A and bulletin board B may also write on bulletin board C in many cases. Based on this, recommended bulletin board information is extracted or predicted, and the information is presented to the user. This point will be described in detail later.

Although an example of a bulletin board (BBS) site will be described here, for a HP that cannot be written, that is, a HP that merely presents information, a condition to be extracted by the filtering unit 11, for example, "car"
The filtering is performed based on the keyword, that is, the HP data including the keyword is transmitted to the analysis unit 12. In the analysis unit 12, the "vehicle type" is selected from the HP data.
And the data "price" are converted into tabular data together with the URL and stored in the storage unit 13. Therefore, by transmitting the data of a specific “vehicle type” from the user to the processing / use unit 14, it is possible to know the recommended site that the person who is interested in the vehicle type accesses.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of data stored in the storage unit 13.

The method of using the data stored in the storage unit 13 will be described.

The proxy server device 3 includes a request processing program that accepts an information access request from a user in advance. When the user activates the request processing program via the PC 1, the screen shown in FIG. 7 is displayed on the display device of the PC 1.

FIG. 7 shows a case where a user asks what other HPs he / she is interested in.
It is a request data input screen of access information. That is,
FIG. 7 is a screen when inputting the URL of the HP of interest to the user and inputting a request to tell me if there is another information source accessed by another person regarding the URL. Here, the URL is used as the input data and the URL is used as the output data as described later, but other data may be used as the input and output data.

Reference numeral 71 is a screen display frame, and 72 is a display unit for notifying the user of data input. 73
Is a URL input unit for inputting an HP of interest. 7
Reference numeral 4 is a send button.

First, the URL used when the user obtains information about a certain theme using the Internet.
Is input to the URL input unit 73. For example, BB in FIG.
Two URLs, S URL and BBS URL of the same type as in FIG.
Enter the RL. Then, when the send button 74 is clicked, the data of the input URL is sent to the proxy server device 3.

The proxy server device 3 recognizes that the request from the user wants to know another URL that is of interest, that is, access information.
The received URL data is transmitted to 4. Processing / use department 1
4 indicates the storage unit 13 based on the received URL data.
The related URL, that is, the access information is extracted from the data stored in. In other words, processing / utilization department 1
4 refers to a user who is writing on a bulletin board that the user is interested in, based on the information stored in the storage unit 13 indicating who is writing on which bulletin board, and that person is writing. Information on other bulletin boards that are recommended as bulletin boards (homepage address of recommended bulletin board)
Is transmitted to the proxy server device 3.

Here, the proxy server device 3 is used.
Although the URL data from the user is received via the, the user's PC and the use / processing unit 14 of the computer 4
May communicate with each other directly, as indicated by the dotted line in FIG.

The access information is extracted, for example, as follows. From the data of FIG. 4, the name (or handle name) of the person who is writing in the URL sent from the user is taken out and it is checked whether or not the name is in the DB 41. Then, the data of the URL including the name is transmitted to the user's PC 1 via the proxy server device 3. A list of URLs of the “recommended bulletin board” as shown in FIG. 8 is displayed on the user's PC 1, and the user uses the URL to
You can access the Internet to obtain information. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a screen showing recommended site information, that is, access information.

Further, a specific description will be given with reference to FIG.

The URL in the request data from the user X requesting to know the "recommended site" is, for example, "http: //
/ Www. And the URL is transmitted to the processing / utilization unit 14 via the proxy server device 3. The processing / utilization unit 14 first checks whether or not the URL data of the transmitted HP is included in the data of FIG. If the URL exists, it is checked whether the name data in the name data 43 corresponding to the URL in FIG. 4 is in the name data of other URL data in the name data 43.

For example, if the user has the URL "http: //: //
www. If you request to know a recommended site related to "○○○", please use the URL "http: // www.
Check whether "○○○" exists in the data of FIG.
Since the URL exists, the name data of the URL is extracted. Here, the URL "http: //www.○○"
The names of the people who wrote "○" are "Taro Kono" and "Jiro Otono". Therefore, the processing / usage unit 14 searches for URLs that have "Taro Kono" and "Jiro Otono" as persons who have written in other URLs. Search result, URL
"Http: //www.□□□" and the URL "http
p: // www. As a search result, "Taro Kono" and "Jiro Otono" are found in "XXXXX". Alternatively,
The data in FIG. 4 is processed to generate data as shown in FIG. 9 to which URL each name data is written, and based on the data, “Taro Kono” and “Jiro Otono” are generated. The written URL information may be obtained from the item 93 and transmitted to the user's PC 1. Figure 9
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of data for extracting related access information generated by the processing / utilization unit 14.

As described above, the recommended site can be presented by extracting the URL of the related HP, that is, the access information, based on the data of the person who is interested in the same type of HP (site).

The above example is an example of BBS, but in the example of the book review of FIG. 5, the data of "genre" and "title" extracted from the data of the URL accessed by someone else is DB5.
Included in 1. Therefore, the user can enter a specific title and access information (UR
When L) is requested, the URL including the entered title is extracted from the data in the field 54 of FIG. 5, and the data of the URL is transmitted to the PC1 of the requesting user. May be.

In the example of the image in FIG. 6, when an image of interest, for example, the keyword "landscape" is input, the DB 61
U of the image in which the feature of “landscape” is extracted in item 63 of
The RL is extracted and its URL is transmitted to the PC 1 in a list format.

Although the above example has been described as an extremely simple example, it is also possible to make a recommendation to the user as a customer based on the information of the site accessed in the past by using the collaborative filtering technique or the like. A technique other than collaborative filtering may be used.

Next, the operation of the proxy server device 3 for executing the above-described operation and the operation of the computers 4 and 6 will be described with reference to flowcharts.
