In particular, by providing a display field in which the number of input characters is limited to a small number, rewriting can be performed from a terminal such as a mobile phone.

An outline of an information transmitting apparatus according to the present invention and an information collecting apparatus used for constructing the information transmitting apparatus will be described with reference to FIG. The information collection device 110 and the information transmission device 130 of the present invention are built inside the management server 100 connected to a communication network 200 such as the Internet.
Here, a case will be described in which the information collecting device 110 and the information transmitting device 130 are operated as a sightseeing guide system that guides information on sightseeing spots scattered throughout the country on a homepage. In addition, the operator who operates the management server 100 is an administrator, manages accommodation facilities at each sightseeing spot, transmits information on the facility via a homepage as an operator, and sets of operators in each region as an operator An unspecified number of people who browse each homepage through the group and communication network 200 are called users.

In addition to the information collection device 110 and the information transmission device 130 according to the present invention, the management server 100 includes a control unit 101 and a database 102 for controlling them. The information collection device 110 is provided with a business operator authentication unit 111. In response to the connection request of the business entity terminal 300 that transmits a connection request through the communication network 200, the business operator authentication unit 111 authenticates whether or not the transmission source is a business operator that has signed a regular contract. For authentication, an ID number, a password, or the like is used.
When the business operator authentication unit 111 authenticates that it is a legitimate business operator, the information collection device 110 is permitted to execute an information collection operation according to the control of the control unit 101. The home page data collected by the information collection device 110 is arranged in a predetermined format and stored in the database 102. Regardless of which region the business owner terminal 300 owns, the home page data transmitted from each business operator terminal 300 is stored in the common database 102. In addition to keywords representing the business content of each business operator, the homepage data of each business operator stored in the database 102 is added with a telephone number or a zip code. It can be determined whether it is business data. Therefore, regardless of the region's homepage data mixed in the database 102, the region can be specified by the postal code or the telephone number of the telephone number, etc., and it is possible to search for the business in each region. it can.

Further, the address stored in the database 102 is, for example, an address in which an ID number is partially incorporated. If each business operator terminal 300 transmits a connection request again after that, if the business operator authentication unit 111 authenticates, the authentication is performed. An address assigned to the operator terminal 300 is generated based on the ID number used for the access, and the address can be accessed. That is, the reproducibility of access is maintained.
On the other hand, when receiving a connection request from the user terminal 400, the information transmission device 130 sends top page information to the user terminal 400 and displays the map shown in FIG. For example, a grid 16 is displayed on the map, and an area on the map is partitioned and displayed by the grid 16. When the user designates a cell including a desired area and inputs a click, the information transmission device 130 transmits detailed map information inside the cell 16 and displays the detailed map (FIG. 3) on the user terminal 400. . The detailed map displays a place name and a place representing the place of the sightseeing spot that is affiliated with this sightseeing guide system. When the user designates and clicks on the location of the tourist destination as the destination, for example, a code number representing the tourist destination designated by the click input is returned to the information transmitting device 130, and the code number representing the tourist destination (for example, zip code) ), The search device (provided in the information transmission device 130) searches the database 102 and picks up all the home page data (data representing the top page of each home page) in the designated area.

  At the same time, the information transmission device 130 sends the search screen information to the user terminal 400 and displays the search screen (FIG. 4) on the user terminal 400. On the search screen displayed on the user terminal 400, a designated date / time input field 401 and buttons B1, B2, B3... B9 displaying keywords to be searched are displayed, and clicks are input to these buttons B1 to B9. As a result, the code information assigned to the button is returned to the information transmission device 130. The information transmission device 130 searches the home page data group that has been picked up previously, according to the returned code information. For example, if a search is performed using “staying” as a keyword, data for a homepage operated by a business operator of an accommodation facility in the area is picked up. The top page of each home page is extracted, the extracted screen information is transmitted to the user terminal 400, and a list of the top pages shown in FIG.

In the display columns C1, C2,... C6 shown in the list, the names of the respective accommodation facilities are displayed, and in the display columns D1, D2, D3,. The example which displayed the simple introductory article of each accommodation establishment in the display columns E1-E6 arrange | positioned in FIG.
When the user wants to know the details of the accommodation facility of interest in the displayed list, the user clicks on the display portion of the accommodation facility, for example, C1 to C6. By this click input, an individual homepage display request is issued to the information transmission device 130, and the information is linked to the individual homepage information of the clicked facility and sent to the user terminal 400 for display.

The map shown in FIG. 2 mainly depicts the Kanto region, but if this tourism guide system is organized on a nationwide scale, the nationwide map will be displayed as the top page. In addition, when a business group not only in Japan but also an overseas tourist destination joins, a map including the overseas area is written on the top page. These top pages are prepared by an administrator who operates the management server.
From the above, the outline of the information collection device 110 and the information transmission device 130 will be understood. Hereinafter, the operation of the information collecting apparatus 110 shown in FIG. 6 will be described with reference to the input screens shown in FIGS.

Although FIG. 11 shows a calendar input screen for accommodation facilities, there are also provided for tourism associations, restaurants, shops, and the like.
The calendar data entered on the calendar entry screen is stored in the database of each business operator. The storage capacity is, for example, 4 years, and is allocated to the past 2 years and the future 2 years. The business for the past two years is assumed to be used as a record by the business operator, and the future months are disclosed to the user. The calendar data is read out in the order of year, month, and date when it is detected even if the date is written back and forth at the time of writing. Calendar data that has passed two years or more is automatically deleted when the date has passed two years. With this automatic erasing, a new writing area (one line in four years) is reproduced as a writable area.

Variable names are assigned to all input fields (all character data and image data) on the input screen described above, and the character data and image data input in each input field are assigned to the variable names in the temporary storage unit 115. When all the inputs are stored, writing to the database 102 is executed by the database writing unit 117.
As a method for generating an address for writing to the database 102, for example, in addition to the method for generating an address using the ID number of the business operator described above, for example, the input postal code or the like is used for each region. A method is conceivable in which the storage area is divided into addresses, addresses are assigned from address 0 in the order of creation of the home page for each storage area, and a comparison table of the addresses on the database and the ID numbers of the respective businesses is created.

After that, referring to this comparison table, it becomes possible to access the address storing the home page data from the comparison table if the correct ID number is input at the time of authentication in response to the request for rewriting the homepage of each company.
As described above, the variable name is assigned to the character string data and the image data input in each input field in the data for displaying the homepage of each business operator stored in the database 102, and the character string data and the variable name are included in the variable name. Since image data is substituted and stored in the database, any character string data or image data input on any input screen can be called from the database 102 by designating the variable name.

Therefore, in the description of the display program for displaying the template of the home page, in the part that forms the display field, the variable name that substitutes the character string data or image data that is to be displayed in the display field is described. The target character string or image can be displayed in the display column.
