Description

  The present invention can be created and updated via a communication network such as the Internet. For example, a method, system, and system for updating an online newspaper suitable as information sharing means between people who have a common hobby or interest, and Regarding the program.

  Traditionally, editors who publish this type of online newspaper have posted articles that are in line with their hobbies, preferences, or interests.

  As an example of this type of online newspaper editing method, an editor creates or updates an article composed of, for example, an HTML document using his / her PC, and the created or updated article is transmitted via a communication network such as the Internet. To the WEB server. The WEB server holds a page layout template for arranging these articles and creating paper data for online newspapers, and the editor uses this template to arrange the articles to place the page data. Create Note that the articles are not limited to documents, but also include images and sounds.

  A reader can browse an online newspaper by accessing the WEB server site from his / her PC through a communication network such as the Internet and displaying the page data using a browser.

  However, such conventional online newspapers have the following problems.

  That is, editors of this type of online newspaper often operate online newspapers with a personal personal taste. For this reason, there is no powerful information gathering ability like a newspaper company etc., and it does not take much time to create and update articles, and further edit paper data. Therefore, the update frequency of the majority of paper sheets decreases with the passage of time, and it is inevitable that the contents of the paper data become old.

  In addition, as long as online newspapers are run with a personal personal interest, it is difficult to make extensive contact with others with the same interests, preferences, and interests. This is because, for example, celebrities and celebrities are difficult to find when the general public is an operator.

  On the other hand, this type of online newspaper is also used as an information sharing means between those who have a common hobby or interest. This is the case where those with the same hobbies perform joint activities, such as a grass baseball game, and post the record as an article. In this case, the game record is temporarily input to the writing or portable terminal, and the result is reprinted on a document such as HTML on the day or after the game, and the document is further transferred from a PC or the like via the Internet or the like. This is done by transferring to the server. This makes it impossible to provide information in real time and introduces a new load on the editor.

  There are already several techniques for inputting the results of sports etc. with little effort and reflecting them quickly on the homepage etc., but they exist individually for each sport event and are not prepared for each individual team. In addition, there is no way to quickly share the input results between the teams that have played the battle, and to quickly update each of them on the homepages of individuals and organizations that were not directly involved in the battle. For this reason, for example, when a soccer game was planned, because there were no members on the day, it was suddenly changed to a basket game, and one individual or a sports team suddenly played another game. In such a case, a new input system for the competition must be found. Furthermore, it takes a lot of labor to reflect the results on the homepages so far.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and enhances the content by utilizing information from other sites and facilitates the creation and updating of articles, thereby reducing the burden on the editor. It is an object of the present invention to provide an online newspaper update method, update system, and program capable of reducing real-time performance and providing more effective information.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention takes the following measures.

  That is, in the present invention in which an online newspaper that can be browsed via a communication network such as the Internet is updated, when an article posted in the online newspaper is created or updated by an editor terminal, a predetermined rule is determined from this article. Therefore, keywords are extracted. Next, information related to the extracted keyword is acquired from a site that can be browsed via a communication network. If the acquired information can be posted without permission, the online newspaper is updated with this information and the article. If the information cannot be posted without permission, an inquiry is made to the creator of this information. If the publication permission is obtained, the online newspaper is updated using this information and the article.

  Further, according to the present invention, when there is a request for browsing an online newspaper from a reader terminal via a communication network, the page data is arranged by arranging articles published in the online newspaper according to a predetermined page layout. And the updated page data is displayed from the reader terminal via the communication network.

  Here, the browseable site is generally an editor terminal different from the editor terminal, such as a newspaper company site, a net shop, a portal site, or the like. Further, the reader terminal and the editor terminal may be the same or different terminals. As the terminal type, a portable terminal such as a PDA or a cellular phone is suitable. Furthermore, there may be one or more editors. So is the reader. The case where the editor and reader are the same person is not excluded.

  Here, the article is preferably common information shared by the editor who operates the editor terminal and the reader who operates the reader terminal. For example, information on events performed by the editor and readers, , Hobby information, circle activity information, etc. Information on the event includes information on the contents of the event, recruitment information for the participants, information on the result of the event, and the like. The event result information corresponds to, for example, competition progress information that is obtained moment by moment as the competition progresses when a competition such as sports is performed.

  Such result information may be sent along with the progress of the event via a communication network from a terminal of an event management device provided in advance at the event venue. Specifically, the event management device corresponds to a score management device for a bowling alley, a golf course, or a karaoke box.

  The event management device includes a usage record database in which past usage records of event users and usage results at the time of use are stored in association with identification information of event users, and when identification information is presented by a user, A usage record and a usage result associated with the presented identification information may be retrieved from the usage record database and provided as event information.

  In addition, when an article related to a specific commercial product is described by the user, a link to the corresponding product page of the net shop may be added to the online paper.

  According to the present invention, an article created or updated by an editor and an article that matches a user's hobbies, preferences, or interests among information widely distributed to the general public are posted on an online newspaper, thereby enhancing the content. It becomes possible to plan.

  In addition, editors of different online newspapers can exchange articles and prevent the amount of articles from decreasing.

  In addition, if the editor himself has a particular hobby, it can be recorded and reflected in the paper data in a quick and low-load manner, improving the real-time nature of online newspapers and providing more effective information It becomes possible to do.

  Furthermore, by adding link information to other sites such as a net shop, it becomes possible to incorporate more information into the user's online newspaper.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  In addition to the server 14, the center 12 includes a plurality of terminals 16 (# 1 to #n) and an internal network 18 that connects the plurality of terminals 16 (# 1 to #n) and the server 14. ing.

  FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram illustrating a detailed configuration example of the server 14.

  The server 14 is, for example, an application server having an HTTP server function, and includes a control unit 20, a communication unit 22, a user authentication information receiving unit 24, a user authentication unit 26, an article receiving unit 28, a keyword extracting unit 30, and a related information acquiring unit 32. , A printability determination unit 34, a paper page change unit 36, a printable query unit 38, a browsing request reception unit 40, a paper page data update unit 42, a page data transmission unit 44, a user authentication information database 46, a keyword rule database 48, and a page layout. A database 50 and a paper surface information database 51 are provided. When using an existing WWW system, the online page of the present invention is a form of a home page provided by the server 14.

  The communication unit 22 is connected to the communication network 10 and the internal network 18, receives information from the communication network 10 and the internal network 18, outputs the information to the control unit 20, and specifies information from the control unit 20. The data is transmitted to the transmission destination via the communication network 10 or the internal network 18 according to the transmission destination.

  The control unit 20 is a part that controls the function of each part provided in the server 14, and transfers information from the communication part 22 to an appropriate part according to the content, and is necessary for a related part. The information output from any one of the above parts is transmitted from the communication unit 22 to an appropriate transmission destination.

  When user authentication information is transmitted from the editor terminal 52, reader terminal 54, newspaper company system 56, or store / game room system 58 via the communication network 10, the communication unit 22 receives this information and sends it to the control unit 20. Output. Specifically, the user authentication information includes, as shown in FIG. 3, the title 141 of the corresponding online newspaper, the user identification number 142a, the password 142b, the user URL 143, the user electronic mail address 144, whether or not to disclose 145, There are activity 146, activity region 147, favorite genre 148, publication desired / not desired 149, date of birth 150, sex 151, and comment 152. These data items are stored in the user authentication information database 46 for registered users. To be. Therefore, if the user has once registered, only the user identification number 142a and the password 142b may be transmitted as user authentication information.

  Editors and readers are not limited to individuals. For example, there can be groups such as grass baseball teams and school classes. In this case, the user authentication information has a data structure as shown in FIG. The user authentication information shown in FIG. 4 includes a member name 154 (# 1 to #n) and a member birth date 155 (# 1 to #n) instead of the date of birth 150 and gender 151 of the user authentication information shown in FIG. n), member sex 156 (# 1 to #n), and member identification number 157 (# 1 to #n) are added.

  The control unit 20 transfers the user authentication information received by the communication unit 22 to the user authentication information receiving unit 24. In this way, the user authentication information receiving unit 24 acquires user authentication information.

  The user authentication unit 26 uses the user identification number 142 a and the password 142 b included in the user authentication information acquired by the user authentication information receiving unit 24, and the user identification included in the user authentication information stored in the user authentication information database 46. The number 142a is compared with the password 142b. When the collation is obtained, this user is authenticated, and the transmission of article information and the online newspaper browsing request are accepted.

  When the article information published in the online newspaper is transmitted from the editor terminal 52 via the communication network 10, the communication unit 22 receives this and outputs it to the control unit 20. Then, the control unit 20 transfers this article information to the article receiving unit 28. In this way, the article receiving unit 28 receives article information created or updated by the editor terminal 52.

  Further, the article receiving unit 28 sequentially receives, from the terminal 59 (#a), real-time score information managed by the event management device 59 (#c) of the store / game hall system 58. As a result, the score information is acquired almost in real time as the event progresses. In addition, it is also possible to receive from the terminal 59 (#a) the past usage record and score information for each user acquired by the event management apparatus 59 (#c) from the usage record database 59 (#d). Note that these receptions are also made by the communication unit 22 and the control unit 20 intervening as described above.

  When the article receiving unit 28 receives the article information, the keyword extracting unit 30 extracts a keyword from the article information according to the rules stored in the keyword rule database 48.

  There are many existing techniques for extracting keywords. For example, weighting is performed for each item, and what item the article information is described about is recorded. As a result of the weighting, there may be a description about a plurality of items. However, if there is no certain weight or more, it is considered that the item is not described. There are many weighting methods, but any method may be adopted. As a result, not only a keyword search but also a context search of what items are described in an article is possible.

In this case, the keyword rule database 48 includes a keyword table that stores keywords, an item table that indicates what items each keyword may belong to, and an article table. The keyword table increases with time and has the following structure.
Keyword identification number (numerical data): Keyword identification number. Primary key.
Keyword (character string data) ··· Keyword character string.

The item table has the following configuration.
Item identification number (numerical data): Item identification number. Primary key.
Keyword identification number (numerical data): Keyword identification information. Primary key.
Item (Character string data)-A character string representing an item.

  For example, the keyword “Toshima” belongs to items such as “environmental problems”, “Seto Inland Sea”, “Tokyo”, and the keyword “garbage” belongs to items such as “environmental problems”. The keyword “environmental problem” also belongs to the item “environmental problem”. Then, by calculating these weights, it is determined whether it is Toshima in the Seto Inland Sea or Toshima-ku, Tokyo.

The article table is structured as follows.
User identification number (character string data)-The user identification number that created the article. Primary key.
Article identification number (numerical data): Article identification number. Primary key.
Item identification number (numerical data): Item identification number. Primary key.
Weight (numerical data): expressed in a range of values (for example, 0 to 255).

  Of course, the keyword extraction method is not limited to the method described above, and any other method may be used.

  The keyword extraction unit 30 further adds meta information such as a related phrase to the keyword. Specifically, when keywords such as “garbage” and “illegal dumping” are extracted from article information, related words such as “environment” and “pollution” are used as meta information for the article to assist in searching for articles and selecting articles for publication. And so that you can. A series of operations related to the related phrase are not only article information received by the article receiver 28, but also a server 57b of the newspaper company system 56, an editor terminal 52 (# 1 to #n), and a reader terminal 54 (#). 1 to #m), the store / game room system 58 (# 1 to #p), and related information retrieved from other sites not shown.

  The related information acquisition unit 32 acquires information related to the keyword extracted by the keyword extraction unit 30 from a site that can be browsed via the communication network 10. Specifically, the keyword extracted by the keyword extraction unit 30 is output to the control unit 20, and from the communication unit 22 via the communication network 10, the server 57 b and the editor terminal 52 (# 1 to #n), the reader terminal 54 (# 1 to #m), the store / game hall system 58 (# 1 to #p), and other sites not shown are searched. Then, the search result is acquired as related information.

  The posting possibility determination unit 34 determines whether the information acquired by the related information acquisition unit 32 can be posted without permission. As this determination method, for example, it is performed by referring to an insertion possible / rejection flag attached to the acquired information. However, the method is not limited to this method, and other methods may be used.

  When it is determined by the publishability determination unit 34 that publication is possible without permission, the page change unit 36 uses the related information and article information corresponding to the related information to post information on the online newspaper. Update. In addition, as will be described later, even when a publication permission is obtained from the creator as a result of an inquiry from the publication possible inquiry section 38, it is also published in an online newspaper using the related information and corresponding article information. Update information. Then, the contents of the page information database 51 are updated with the updated information.

  When it is determined that the extracted related information is a description about a specific product, link information to the corresponding product page of the net shop is stored in the page information database 51. Collection of link data to related products is provided through the network 10 from the terminal 60a of the net shop system 60, or input by the terminal 16 in the center 12.

  The publication possible inquiry part 38 makes an inquiry to the creator of the information of the related information when the publication possibility judgment part 34 determines that the publication is not permitted without permission. The inquiry processing operation will be described with reference to the data transition diagram of FIG. FIG. 11 shows an example in which an inquiry is made to the editor terminal 52 (#w) as to whether or not posting is possible.

  First, the publication possible inquiry unit 38 requests the control unit 20 to permit the related information, the electronic mail address of the source site of the related information, and permission of the related information to the source information. The inquiry information is output (S61).

  Then, the control unit 20 adds the address information of the online newspaper of the inquiry source to the inquiry information, and transmits the inquiry information with the address information added to the electronic mail address of the source site (S62). ). In this way, the control unit 20 automatically adds the address information of the online newspaper of the inquiry source, so it is forgotten to describe its own address information that often occurs when the sender himself writes mail. Therefore, it avoids the trouble of having to send the mail again.

  The editor terminal 52 (#w), which is the source site, receives this inquiry information. Then, the editor of the editor terminal 52 (#w) looks at the contents of the inquiry information, and if the online newspaper of the inquiry feels appropriate for posting his / her own article, the permission for posting is appropriate. If you don't feel like it, you can choose to refrain from posting. Then, the electronic mail is received by the communication unit 22 by returning the availability result by electronic mail (S63). Further, the data is output from the communication unit 22 to the control unit 20, and further transferred from the control unit 20 to the postable inquiry unit 38 (S64). The posting possible inquiry part 38 analyzes the content of this reply mail, determines whether or not the posting is possible, and outputs the determination result to the paper surface changing part 36 together with the corresponding related information.

  If permitted, article information created by the editor terminal 52 (#w) can also be posted on the online page of the subsequent inquiry source. In this case, since the article information created by the editor terminal 52 (#w) is embedded in the page of the online newspaper of the editor who wants to dynamically post the article in the server 14, the editor terminal (#w) Like the editor who operates, it is not involved in the editing of the article on the side that received the reprint. For this reason, it does not cause a copyright problem such as rewriting an article intentionally or negligently or rewriting the name of the editor who created the article.

  Note that when inquiring about whether or not an article can be posted to another editor, the inquiry is automatically made in the server 14, so for example, it is kept secret from an editor who does not want to notify or display information such as a mail address. Making it possible.

  When an online newspaper browsing request is received from the reader terminal 54 via the communication network 10, this is received by the communication unit 22 and output to the control unit 20. Then, the transfer unit 20 transfers this browsing request to the browsing request receiving unit 40. Thereby, the browsing request receiving unit 40 acquires a browsing request from the reader terminal 54.

  When the browsing request is acquired by the browsing request receiving unit 40, the page data updating unit 42 acquires information from the page information database 51, and the predetermined page layout of this online newspaper from the page layout database 50. get. The page data is dynamically updated by arranging information according to the page layout.

  The page data transmission unit 44 outputs the page data updated by the page data update unit 42 to the control unit 20. The control unit 20 instructs the communication unit 22 to transmit this page data to the reader terminal 54 that has requested browsing. In accordance with this instruction, the communication unit 22 transmits this page data to the reader terminal 54 that is the browsing request source through the communication network 10 and displays it from here.

  The user authentication information database 46 stores user authentication information necessary for authenticating the user of the online newspaper of the present invention who is an editor or a reader. Specifically, as the user authentication information, as shown in FIG. 3, the title 141 of the corresponding online newspaper, the user identification number 142a, the password 142b, the user URL 143, the user electronic mail address 144, whether or not to release 145, There are main activity 146, activity region 147, favorite genre 148, desired publication 149, date of birth 150, gender 151, and comment 152.

  As described above, the keyword rule database 48 stores rules when the keyword extraction unit 30 extracts keywords from article information.

  The page layout database 50 stores information related to the page layout of the online newspaper that has been determined in advance.

  The page information database 51 stores information published on the page of online newspapers.

  Next, the operation of the online newspaper update system to which the online newspaper update method according to this embodiment configured as described above is applied will be described.

  First, in order to publish an online newspaper, an editor and a user who are readers need to perform user registration to the server 14 from the editor terminal 52 and the reader terminal 54, respectively. The operation of this user registration process will be described using the data transition diagram of FIG.

  First, the user uses the browser function of the editor terminal 52 or the reader terminal 54 (hereinafter simply referred to as “terminal” means both the editor terminal 52 and the reader terminal 54). Then, a transmission request for the user registration input screen is sent to the server 14 (S1). This transmission request is received by the communication unit 22 of the server 14 via the communication network 10 and further transferred to the user authentication information receiving unit 24 by the control unit 20. When the user authentication information receiving unit 24 obtains the transmission request in this manner, the user authentication information receiving unit 24 issues a user identification number 142a and a password 142b, prepares data of a user registration input screen as shown in FIG. Output (S2). Then, the control unit 20 causes the communication unit 22 to transmit this data to the transmission source terminal via the communication network 10 (S3). As a result, a data registration input screen as shown in FIG. 3 is displayed from the terminal screen. When the user is a group, a data registration input screen as shown in FIG. 4 is displayed instead of FIG.

  In response to this, the user returns necessary information to the server 14 after inputting the necessary items (S4). The returned data is also received by the communication unit 22 of the server 14 via the communication network 10 and further transferred to the user authentication information receiving unit 24 by the control unit 20. The user authentication information receiving unit 24 stores this data in the user authentication information database 46 (S5), and notifies the terminal side that the user registration has been completed (S6).

  Once the user is registered in this way, if it is necessary to access the server 14 for registration of created or updated article information thereafter, the user identification number 142a and the password 142b are simply transmitted from the terminal. For example, the user authentication unit 26 collates the transmitted user identification number 142a and password 142b with the user identification number 142a and password 142b stored in the user authentication information database 46. Is allowed.

  FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of a display screen provided from the server 14 to the editor terminal 52 when the article information is updated. Reference numeral 101 denotes a heading part, which is also a part displayed as a list. Reference numeral 102 denotes an article body, which is a portion that is displayed on the screen of the reader terminal 54 as an individual article when the reader clicks a headline in the list on the reader terminal 54. Reference numeral 103 denotes a part for inputting an additional article. This part may be made more than once.

  Next, a case will be described in which a reader requests browsing of an online newspaper in which article information is created or updated as described above.

  When the reader makes a browsing request, first, the reader makes an online newspaper browsing request to the server 14 from the reader terminal 54. The browsing request is received by the communication unit 22 via the communication network 10 and further transferred to the browsing request receiving unit 40 by the control unit 20. When the browsing request is acquired by the browsing request receiving unit 40 in this way, information is acquired from the page information database 51 by the page data update unit 42, and the predetermined online information is acquired from the page layout database 50. The newspaper page layout is obtained. The page data is dynamically updated by arranging information according to the page layout.

  Thereafter, the updated page data is output to the control unit 20 by the page data transmission unit 44. Then, the control unit 20 instructs the communication unit 22 to transmit to the reader terminal 54 that has requested browsing. In accordance with this instruction, the communication unit 22 transmits this page data to the reader terminal 54 that is the browsing request source via the communication network 10, so that it is displayed from the reader terminal 54 that is the browsing request source.

  A function is added to the page data update unit 42, and an article can be added based on the taste of the reader who requested browsing. In this way, the operation at the time of creating the page data to which the article is added based on the taste of the reader who requested browsing will be described with reference to the data transition diagram shown in FIG.

  First, the reader makes an online newspaper browsing request to the server 14 from the reader terminal 54. At this time, the user's identification information 142a and password 142b are also entered (S31). The browsing request and user authentication information are received by the communication unit 22 via the communication network 10 and further transferred to the browsing request receiving unit 40 and the user authentication unit 26 by the control unit 20. When the browsing request is acquired by the browsing request receiving unit 40 in this manner, the page data update unit 42 acquires information from the page information database 51 (S32). Further, the user authentication unit 26 identifies the user by comparing the user authentication information with the information stored in the user authentication information database 46, reads the reader's favorite genre 148, and the related information acquisition unit. 32 (S33).

  Then, by the related information acquisition unit 32, information related to the reader's favorite genre 148 can be browsed via the communication network 10, for example, the server 57b of the newspaper company system 56, the editor terminal 52 (# 1 to # 1). #N), the reader terminal 54 (# 1 to #m), the store / game room system 58 (# 1 to #p), and other sites not shown (S34).

  The obtained information is judged by the publication possibility determination unit 34 whether or not the information can be published without permission. If it is determined that the information can be posted without permission, the information posted in the online newspaper is updated using the information acquired in step S34. On the other hand, if it is determined that it is not possible to post without permission, the postable inquiry unit 38 makes an inquiry to the creator. As a result, the information to be published in the online newspaper is also updated in the same manner when the publication permission is obtained from the creator. Then, the contents of the page information database 51 are updated with the updated information (S35).

  Then, the page layout of the online newspaper determined in advance is acquired from the page layout database 50 by the page data update unit 42, and the article information acquired in step 32 and the information updated in step S35 are converted into this information. By arranging the page layout, the page data is dynamically updated (S36). Further, the page data is transmitted from the reader terminal 54 as the browsing request source by the page data transmission unit 44 to the reader terminal 54 as the browsing request source (S37).

  FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram showing a screen display example of the online newspaper displayed in this way. Since the reader's favorite genre 148 included “Osaka Tigers” and “Nishinomiya”, the online newspaper titled “Uozaki Cats Sports” included the Osaka Tigers Information 120 and “Everyday Sports”. The article 121 of “Ikawa 300 million Yen Reservation” provided by, and the article 122 of “Nishinomiya Shrine XX Festival soon” provided by “Nishinomiya Drunkers Shimbun” are respectively added.

  Next, as an application example of the online newspaper of the present invention, a case where it is used for recruitment of participants in a citizen marathon competition and a result report will be described.

  In this case, the organizer performs the user registration process as described above, and registers user authentication information as shown in FIG. 4 in the user authentication information database 46 in advance. When the tournament holding guidelines (location, time, participation qualification, participation fee, etc.) are determined, the organizer can access the server 14 from the editor terminal 52 operated by himself / herself as shown in the data transition diagram of FIG. On the other hand, an article information registration request is transmitted together with the user identification number 142a and the password 142b (S11).

  Then, the user authentication unit 26 collates the transmitted user identification number 142a and password 142b with the user identification number 142a and password 142b stored in the user authentication information database 46. Is permitted and a notice of permission is sent to the editor terminal 52 (S12).

  On the other hand, the organizer transmits the holding requirements such as the holding place, the date and time, and the participation application method from the editor terminal 52 to the server 14 as article information (S13).

In this case, a browsing request is output to the server 14 via the communication network 10 from the reader terminal 54 operated by the user. This browsing request is received by the communication unit 22 of the server 14 and further transferred to the browsing request receiving unit 40 by the control unit 20. Then, the page data update unit 42 acquires information from the page information database 51 and also acquires a predetermined page layout of the online newspaper from the page layout database 50. The page data is dynamically updated by arranging information according to the page layout. Further, the updated page data is output to the control unit 20 by the page data transmission unit 44. Then, the control unit 20 instructs the communication unit 22 to transmit the page data to the reader terminal 54 that has requested browsing. In accordance with this instruction, the communication unit 22 transmits the page data via the communication network 10 to the reader terminal 54 that is the browsing request source, and is viewed by the applicant who wants to participate. The participation application procedure is performed by inputting necessary items according to the displayed contents of the online newspaper, and the server 14 transmitting the input contents to the image.

  If the organizer prepares in advance both article forms that receive not only individual application forms but also collect forms from groups as article information, this participation application procedure can be performed not only by individuals but also by groups. Can also be done. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of an input screen when an application is collectively made from an organization. 161 is a list of members of the organization XXX Runners Club. Check only the check box 160 for the contestants among the members. 162 is a member's identification number.

  When the necessary items are received by the server 14, this information is transmitted to the editor terminal 52 using the transmission function originally provided in the server 14, whereby the participation application is completed (S 17).

  In response to this participation application, the organizer makes necessary data entry using his / her editor terminal 52, and when the participation is permitted, the information is transmitted from the editor terminal 52 to the server 14 as article information. (S18), the article information created in step S14 is updated (S19), and the posting of this article information to the reader terminal 54 is permitted (S20). Furthermore, information that informs the reader terminal 54 that participation is permitted is transmitted using the transmission function that the server 14 originally has (S21). This completes the application process for participating in the tournament.

  When the tournament is started, the article information registration (result input) is performed together with the user identification number 142a and the password 142b from the editor terminal 52 to the server 14 from the editor terminal 52 to the server 14 from the editor terminal 52 that the user operates. A transmission request is transmitted (S22).

  Then, the user authentication unit 26 collates the transmitted user identification number 142a and password 142b with the user identification number 142a and password 142b stored in the user authentication information database 46. Is permitted and a notice of permission is sent to the editor terminal 52 (S23).

  When this program is read from a storage medium or a communication medium into a computer, the above-described processing is executed by operating the computer.

(Second Embodiment)
A second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  The online newspaper update system to which the online newspaper update method according to the present embodiment is applied shows an application example of the online newspaper update system to which the online newspaper update method according to the first embodiment is applied. The configuration is the same as that of the online newspaper update system to which the online newspaper update method according to the first embodiment is applied. Therefore, the description regarding the configuration is omitted here.

  In this embodiment, an example is shown in which an online newspaper as described in the first embodiment is used to recruit sports opponents, determine opponents, and disclose the results of the battle in real time. This will be described with reference to 12 data transition diagrams.

  In other words, it is assumed that an editor x has issued an online newspaper X for members of the sports team X and has created a related article indicating that an external game is desired. As described above, this article is received by the article receiving unit 28 and stored in the page information database 51, and the keyword extraction unit 30 extracts a keyword “external game”, and related information based on this keyword is related. Obtained by the information obtaining unit 32.

  In this case, the sports team Y hosted by another editor y also hopes for an external game, and if the article is published in the online newspaper Y issued by the editor y for members, This article is acquired by the related information acquisition unit 32 and is published in the online newspaper X issued by the editor x.

  By viewing this article, the editor x and the members of the sports team X who are readers issued by the editor x can know that the sports team Y wants an external game. Then, the editor x accesses the server 14 from the editor terminal 52 (#x), makes a browsing request to the online newspaper Y (S41), and browses the online newspaper Y returned in response to this browsing request (S41). S42). Then, in accordance with the content of the external game application article, the competition request information is input and notified to the server 14 (S43).

  Then, when the online newspaper Y is updated by reflecting this battle request information (S44), the editor y requests the battle request information from the editor terminal 52 (#y) (S45), and the server 14 The battle hope information is acquired from (S46). The editor y examines whether to accept or reject the competition based on the competition request information, and transmits the examination result from the editor terminal 52 (#y) to the server 14 (S47).

  As a result, the online newspaper Y is updated (S48). In addition, the keyword “outside game” is also extracted from the online newspaper X by the keyword extracting unit 30, and the online newspaper Y is further based on this keyword. The online newspaper X is also updated by acquiring the updated content by the related information acquiring unit 32 (S49). As a result, the members of the sports team X can know whether this match-up request has been accepted or rejected.

  When the battle is accepted, the editor x accesses the server 14 from the editor terminal 52 (#x), browses the online newspaper Y, inputs the battle card according to the content of the article, and sends the battle card to the server 14. And output (S50). Thereby, the related article of the online newspaper X is updated (S51). The updated related article is also permitted to be posted to the online newspaper Y (S52), and the team information is written on the score input screen which is an article of the online newspaper Y, thereby generating a score input screen. (S53). Here, the sport information and the like are collectively referred to as article information, and the score input screen is a form of the article input screen. FIG. 13 is an example of a score input screen for baseball. Such a score input screen can also be created for a mobile phone.

  In FIG. 12, the editor x side inputs the battle card, but the editor y side may do it. In that case, in step S51, the related article of the online newspaper Y is updated, and step S52 becomes unnecessary.

  On the day of the match, the editor x or the editor y browses the online newspaper Y and accesses the score input screen created in step S53 (S54). FIG. 12 shows an example performed by the editor x. As a result, the score input screen is displayed on the editor terminal 52 (#x) (S55). Then, the editor x inputs score information from the editor terminal 52 (#x) as needed on the score input screen (S56) and transmits it to the server 14, so that the articles of the online newspaper X are also updated as needed. (S57). Articles in the online newspaper Y can also be updated at any time, and in this case, they are also posted in the online newspaper Y in real time. The total results can also be updated in real time, which can be reflected on the online papers X and Y.

  As a result, the progress of the game is recorded at any time during the game, and a real-time game progress report that is often seen on the screen of the sports newspaper company is realized. Furthermore, the editor is freed from the trouble of recording a paper scorebook and posting it on the homepage after returning home. Sports Newspaper's real-time game progress bulletins are only available for games that are attracting attention nationwide, but if this method is used, it is possible to post the game history of Ichii people in online newspapers. Become.

  Of course, the present invention can be applied not only to the above-described external game but also to recording of practice data. For example, an editor who performs jogging every day can use data of a measuring instrument such as a clock having a microcomputer and a communication function as article data as they are. In this case, in addition to connecting the measuring device directly to the server 14, it may be connected to a PC or the like, data is temporarily stored in the PC, and then the data is transmitted from the PC to the server 14. .

  For famous marathoners, it is not uncommon for daily practice to be covered, but the present invention also allows ordinary runners to quickly and easily reflect their practice records in their online newspapers. It becomes. By using a device such as a pulse meter, data useful for health management can be easily collected.

  Furthermore, as another application example, it can be applied to recruiting members of a music jam session. Although detailed description of the processing procedure is omitted, in the procedure shown in FIG. 12, the editor y replaces the person who recruits members for the jam session and the editor x replaces the person who wants to participate in the jam session. It will be understood that it is applicable.

  Furthermore, it goes without saying that online newspapers can be used as they are for participation in events and notifications to those who wish to watch.

(Third embodiment)

  In the present embodiment, an example in which the online newspaper as described in the first embodiment is used in cooperation with the store / game room system 58 will be described.

  FIG. 14 is a data transition diagram showing the flow of processing in the case where the review article of a performance is applied to be easily posted in an online newspaper immediately after watching a performance (movie, theater, concert, etc.).

  First, the editor H who appreciates the performance purchases a ticket from a ticket company (S71). This ticket company is provided with a store / game room system 58, in which the event management device 59 (#c) assigns an identification number to the editor H (S72), The identification number and performance information (performance name, place, time, etc.) known before the performance are associated with each other and stored in the usage record database 59 (#d) and stored in the server 14 via the communication network 10. The identification number and performance information are transmitted to the destination (S73).

  On the other hand, an online newspaper issued by the editor H is registered in the server 14 in advance. Accordingly, when the identification number and performance information are transmitted in step S73, the editor H is authenticated based on the identification number, and these information are stored in the page information database 51 of the online newspaper issued by the editor H. (S74).

  After the performance, the post-performance data (performer), which is the information that could not be grasped before the performance, together with the identification number of the editor H, if necessary, from the store / amusement hall system 58 of the ticket company or the performance organizer. , Director, song title, song order, etc.) are transmitted to the server 14 (S75). Similarly, these pieces of information are also stored in the page information database 51 (S76). This makes it possible to significantly reduce the amount of information input by the editor H to the server 14.

  The server 14 also stores, in the page information database 51, link information to the corresponding product page of the net shop system 60 that sells related products such as music CDs and movie DVDs that are closely related to data such as performers and song titles. .

  Thereafter, the editor H operates the editor terminal 52 to transmit comment information created by the editor H to the server 14 and store it in the page information database 51. In this case, first, the editor H requests the creation of comment information by accessing the server 14 from the editor terminal 52 (S77). On the other hand, the data stored in the page information database 51 in step S74 and step S76 is transmitted from the server 14 to the editor terminal 52 and displayed from here (S78).

  An example of this display is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 15, information 181 transmitted from the store / game room system 58 in steps S73 and S75 is already written here. Reference numeral 182 denotes a comment input field. The editor H inputs a comment in the comment input field 182 and transmits it to the server 14 by clicking the OK button 183 with a mouse (not shown) or the like (S79). The contents are updated to this information (S80). This also updates online newspaper articles.

  As described above, by linking the online newspaper update system with the store / game room system 58, it is possible to update information quickly while reducing the input work of the editor as much as possible.

(Fourth embodiment)
A fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  The online newspaper update system to which the online newspaper update method according to the present embodiment is applied also shows an application example of the online newspaper update system to which the online newspaper update method according to the first embodiment is applied, The configuration is the same as that of the online newspaper update system to which the online newspaper update method according to the first embodiment is applied. Therefore, the description regarding the configuration is also omitted here.

  In this embodiment, another example in which the online newspaper as described in the first embodiment is used and linked with the store / game room system 58 will be described.

  FIG. 16 is a data transition diagram showing the flow of processing in the case where the present invention is applied to perform events such as tournaments and exercises at game centers such as bowling alleys, golf courses, and karaoke boxes.

  To hold an event at this type of event venue, it is wise to reserve the venue in advance. First, the editor terminal 52 requests the server 14 to input its own user identification information and to transmit an event venue reservation screen (S91). The server 14 is connected to the store / game hall system 58 of this type of event venue via the communication network 10, accepts a reservation from an arbitrary editor terminal 52, and sends it to the corresponding event venue. It is assumed that a reservation mediation function (not shown) for making an inquiry to the provided store / game hall system 58, making a reservation procedure, and returning the result to the editor terminal 52 is provided in advance.

  In the server 14, the user authentication unit 26 performs user authentication based on the user identification information input in step S <b> 91. Further, based on the request made in step S91, the reservation mediation function transmits a reservation screen to the requesting editor terminal 52 (S92). On the other hand, the editor inputs necessary information (date and time, desired venue, number of users, budget, other options, etc.) based on the reservation screen displayed on the editor terminal 52 and returns this to the server 14. (S93).

  Upon receiving this, the reservation mediation function of the server 14 transmits this input information to the store / game room system 58 of the corresponding event venue according to the contents (S94). In the store / game room system 58, the terminal 59 (#a) receives this input information. Then, the event management device 59 (#c) of the store / game hall system 58 performs a reservation process based on the input information (S95), and if the reservation is possible, the reservation is confirmed to the server 14. The information is transmitted (S96), and this reservation confirmation information is also stored in the usage record database 59 (#d). On the other hand, if the reservation is not possible, although not shown, the reservation impossible information is transmitted to the server 14. This reservation additional information is further transmitted to the editor terminal 52 by the server 14, and the editor can recognize that the reservation could not be made by viewing this from the editor terminal 52.

  When the reservation confirmation information is transmitted in step S96, the related information acquisition unit 32 treats this as the related information, and based on the result of the user authentication performed in step S92, the editor's online newspaper page. The information is stored in the information database 51 (S97). As a result, this reservation confirmation information will be published in the online newspaper paper information, so readers can grasp the contents of the event such as the date and place of the event by browsing the online newspaper. it can.

  Furthermore, the reservation confirmation information transmitted to the server 14 in step S96 is transmitted to the editor terminal 52 that requested the reservation (S98). The editor recognizes that the reservation has been confirmed by viewing this from the editor terminal 52.

  Note that the present embodiment can also be applied to the case where an event is performed without performing the reservation procedure as described above. In this case, only the processing after step S100 shown below is targeted.

  When the editor visits the event venue on the day of the event, the editor notifies the event venue side of the user authentication information of his online newspaper (S100). This may be done in any way, such as by verbally conveying it, by presenting something like a membership card, or by presenting a recording medium such as an IC card in which this user authentication information is recorded. In addition, when it can be performed by presenting a recording medium, this store / game room system 58 is limited to a case where a reading device such as a card reader is provided.

  This user authentication information is transmitted from the terminal 59 (#a) of the store / game room system 58 to the server 14 via the communication network 10. In this case, a request for acquiring information on the reader of the online newspaper edited by the editor is transmitted at the same time as the user authentication information (S101). On the other hand, the user authentication of the editor is performed in the server 14, and when the authentication is completed, the reader information is transmitted to the store / game room system 58 (S102).

  This reader information is received by the store / game room system 58 and utilized by the event management device 59 (#c). For example, if the event venue is a bowling alley and the event management device 59 (#c) has an automatic score system, the reader's name is reflected in the automatic score system (S103).

  When the event is started, data is acquired by the event management device 59 (#c) according to the progress of the event, and further transmitted to the server 14 via the communication network 10. For example, when the event is bowling, score information recorded by the automatic score system as the game progresses is also transmitted to the server 14 via the communication network 10 as needed. If the event is karaoke, if the event is a tune or a karaoke machine with a scoring system, the score is transmitted (S104). If the automatic score system is not provided, score information is input via the terminal 59 (#a), and the input information is sent from the terminal 59 (#a) to the server 14 via the communication network 10. You may make it transmit. For example, this applies to a case where a caddy or a player himself / herself inputs a score for each hole from a mobile phone or the like at a golf course.

  In the server 14, the information transmitted in step S104 is stored in the page information database 51 of this editor's online newspaper based on the user authentication result made in step S102 (S105). As a result, the page information of the online newspaper is updated as needed, so that readers who have not participated in the event can grasp the progress of the event by browsing the online newspaper.

  When the transmitted data is a song title, link information of the corresponding product page of the net shop 60 that sells related products such as closely related music CDs is also stored in the page information database 51.

  If past score information is stored in the usage record database 59 (#d), the score information is sent to the server 14 to list the past scores of the same reader. Can be stored in the page information database 51 as page information and can be posted in an online newspaper.

  As described above, by linking the online newspaper update system with the store / game room system 58, it is possible to automatically and quickly update information such as scores that change with the progress of the event. As a result, the page information of the online newspaper is updated as needed, so that readers who have not participated in the event can grasp the progress of the event by browsing the online newspaper.

  Moreover, the online newspaper update system can be suitably used as a system that can remarkably reduce the troublesome calculation of the score of a golf competition. In particular, it is possible for the participant to quickly grasp the intermediate result even in a large number of golf competitions.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention has been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to such a configuration. Within the scope of the invented technical idea of the scope of claims, a person skilled in the art can conceive of various changes and modifications.
