Description

  The present invention relates to a server, a system, and the like for supporting a trackback function used in a web log (WEBLOG).

  Conventionally, a lot of information has been posted on the WEB site at the company level or the individual level, and users can search and browse the desired information by accessing these WEB sites (homepage etc.) via the Internet. Information can be obtained by accessing other sites from related link information.

  In general, information posted on a WEB site is updated by a company or an individual user who operates and manages the WEB site, and the updated information is uploaded by uploading a page file (HTML file or the like) of the WEB site to a server. However, site updating is entrusted to companies and individual users who operate and manage the WEB site, and information is likely to become obsolete due to delays in site updating. For this reason, the information value is low on the user side, and this is a factor causing a vicious circle such as a reduction in the number of accesses to the site on the site operator side.

  Also, when updating the site, language knowledge such as HTML that matches the browser function and knowledge about file transfer at the time of upload (FTP: file transfer protocol) is also required, including the introduction of website creation support software etc. There was a problem that the operation management cost was high.

  Therefore, in recent years, weblogs (Weblogs, commonly known as blogs) that can automatically add and update information simply by registering new information on the WEB site have attracted attention.

  In this weblog, information written by administrators such as site operators is stored in this database, and whenever a user accesses the weblog page, a weblog page (page information) is generated from the stored information. It is something to redo.

  For this reason, information is easily disclosed by a terminal device such as a computer equipped with a network environment and a browser function that can be connected to the WEB without requiring specialized knowledge and without using homepage creation support software. This makes it easier to update and add information than conventional home pages.

  In addition, this weblog has a comment function that allows you to register comments on published information, that is, articles published by the administrator (weblog opener), or when you link to another weblog It has a function such as a trackback function for notifying the link partner that the link has been established, has higher community characteristics than the conventional WEB site, and enables interactive information exchange.

  In particular, the trackback function is a function that can form a reverse link to an article of the administrator with respect to an article of another weblog related to an article published by the administrator on the weblog site. Therefore, conventionally, even if a link is made to a link destination related to information to be disclosed, the link source cannot be referred to from the link destination that has made the link, so that the information flow is one-way. However, weblogs can use this trackback function to expand the connection of information and further promote opportunities for information.

  However, the trackback in this weblog is: 1) search for the trackback destination (other weblog destination) that you want to trackback with a search engine, and 2) once access another weblog page where the searched article (content) is posted. 3) Copy the trackback address posted on the other weblog page, 4) Enter (or paste) the trackback address on your weblog page, and 5) This trackback This is done by sending a trackback notification to the address.

  Therefore, although it is advantageous in that it does not require a link permission or a notification that the link has been made to a site where a link is desired, the above procedures 1) to 4) are conventional websites from the viewpoint of work. This is very much time-consuming and is not different from the link work performed in the above.

  For this reason, when performing track back to a plurality of track back destinations, it is necessary to perform the steps 1) to 4) as many times as the number of the track back destinations. It was.

  In particular, a corporate weblog operated by a company, unlike a personal weblog managed by an individual, performs a lot of trackback processing on the information posted in other weblogs, and uses as much information as the company distributes as much as possible. It is important to have users browse. However, for the above reasons, information disclosure that fully utilizes the weblog is not performed.

  Also, in the search for the trackback destination, when a search using a plurality of search keywords is performed, it is necessary to perform a plurality of searches according to the number of search keywords.

  Furthermore, in the article search with a search engine or the like, the administrator can search related web logs according to hobbies and preferences by inputting the search keyword. This search keyword is based on the subjectivity of the administrator. Even if a desired related article cannot be extracted or is related to a search keyword, there is a possibility that a web log in which an article with low relevance is published will be searched.

  Therefore, an exemplary object of the present invention is to realize a web log server and a web log service providing system that provide a web log service for fully linking information by a web log and exhibiting community characteristics.

  A web log server according to one aspect of the present invention is a web log server that provides a web log service to a user terminal operated by a user who opens a web log, and a plurality of contents on a web as a trackback destination Content information acquisition means for automatically acquiring information, trackback destination information generation means for generating information on a plurality of trackback destinations transmitted to the user terminal based on the content information, and the user terminal in accordance with the information on the trackback destination Track back means for performing track back with respect to the track back destination designated in (1).

  In addition, a trackback support system as another aspect of the present invention includes a web log service providing system including a user terminal operated by a user who opens a web log and a web log server that provides the web log service to the user terminal. The weblog server is configured to automatically acquire a plurality of pieces of content information on the WEB as a trackback destination and information on the plurality of trackback destinations transmitted to the user terminal based on the content information. Track back destination information generating means for generating the track back and track back means for performing track back to the track back destination designated by the user terminal in accordance with the information on the track back destination.

  According to the present invention, a trackback destination based on a plurality of contents is displayed on the user terminal, and if the user designates a desired trackback destination from these trackback destinations, trackback can be performed on the designated trackback destination. it can.

  For this reason, a simple and easy trackback process is realized for the user, and it is possible to sufficiently exhibit information connection and community by the web log.

This RSS acquisition process is performed for all keyword information stored (registered) in the keyword information table 1053a (S105).

  Specifically, when the keyword information registered in the keyword information table 1053a is “Chinese medicine”, the RSS acquisition unit 1051 adds “Chinese medicine” to the title information and summary information (or text information) of the RSS information of the external site. Is included, and RSS information including “Chinese medicine” is acquired.

  Next, the weblog service providing system and the track back processing of this embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 4 and the display screen transition diagrams of FIGS.

  First, when the web log opener accesses the web log server 100 from the user terminal 300, the web log service providing unit 102 uses the processing command from the web log management unit 104 of the web log server 100 to open the web log opener opened by the web log opener. The blog page information is extracted from the database 103 and transmitted to the user terminal 300.

  This web log page is displayed on the display of the user terminal 300, and it is possible to refer to articles posted by the web log creator, comment information from general users on the posted articles, and the like.

  When the web log creator wants to newly post a posted article on the weblog, the posted article request data is transmitted to the weblog server 100 by designating the article posting button on the screen displayed on the user terminal 300. The When the web log management unit 104 receives the posted article request data from the user terminal 300, the web log service providing unit 102 requests the web log management unit 104 to input the title input unit C101, the posted article content input unit C102, and the trackback destination display unit. The registration screen program including C103 and the trackback input unit C104 is transmitted to the user terminal 300.

  The web log creator uses the input means such as a keyboard of the user terminal 300 to input information about an article to be posted from each input unit of the registration screen C1. Then, when performing track back on an article posted by the web log creator, the web log creator selects the track back selection button D1 of the track back display unit C103 with the mouse of the user terminal 300 or the like.

  In the web log server 100, the keyword selection registration screen C <b> 2 is transmitted to the user terminal 300 in response to a request from the web log management unit 104 based on the trackback selection request data transmitted from the user terminal 300.

  First, the trackback destination information generation unit 1054 extracts all keyword information registered by the web log opener from the keyword information table 1053a based on the identification information of the web log opener. Also, a keyword selection registration screen program is extracted from the trackback database 105. And the keyword selection registration screen containing the registered keyword information is transmitted to the user terminal 300.

  In the user terminal 300, a keyword information list is displayed on the keyword display section C201 of the keyword selection registration screen C2, and the web log creator can select a keyword related to an article to be posted. In addition to the keyword information displayed on the keyword display unit C201, if it is desired to search for a trackback destination using new keyword information, the keyword information is input into the input field of the keyword registration unit C202, whereby the weblog server 100 New keyword information can be registered.

  That is, when the web log server 100 receives the registered keyword information from the user terminal 300 (S201), the keyword management unit 1052 performs keyword registration processing in the trackback unit 105 (S202), and the RSS acquisition unit 1051 newly registers this. RSS information is acquired based on the keyword information thus obtained (S203), and stored in the content information table 1053b (S204).

  Thereafter, when the web log creator selects a keyword related to the posted article from the keyword information list on the keyword selection registration screen C2, the keyword selection information is transmitted from the user terminal 300 to the web log server 100 (S205). The track back destination information generation unit 1054 extracts corresponding content information from the content information table 1053b based on the selection information (S206), and generates track back destination information (S207). Further, the trackback destination information generation unit 1054 stores identification information and keyword information for identifying the web log creator together with the extracted content information in the extracted content information table 1053c.

  In the user terminal 300, a track back destination selection screen C3 based on the track back destination information is displayed (see FIG. 7), and a desired track back destination can be selected by the weblog opener. The trackback destination selected on the trackback destination selection screen C3 is displayed on the trackback display section C103 of the registration screen C1 (see FIG. 5). Note that the trackback URL can also be directly input from the user terminal to the trackback input unit C104 of the registration screen C1 as in the conventional trackback processing.

  Then, after the weblog opener confirms the trackback destination and the posted article content displayed on the user terminal 300, the posted article is published, that is, when the registration processing request data is transmitted to the weblog server 100, the posted article registration process is performed. At the same time, the track back processing by the track back unit 105 of the weblog server 100 is performed.

  The trackback URL extraction unit 1055 extracts the trackback URL from the extracted content information table 1053c according to the registration processing request data (S208). In this extraction process, when the trackback URL information is not stored in the extracted content information table 1053c (S209), the trackback URL extraction unit 1055 accesses the weblog of the trackback destination via the communication unit 101, and stores the trackback URL information. Obtain (S210). Then, the extracted trackback URL information is stored in the content information table 1053b and the extracted content information table 1053c, respectively (S211).

  Then, the trackback processing unit 1056 performs trackback (trackback Ping transmission) to the trackback destination based on the extracted trackback URL information (S212).

  The trackback processing unit 1056 stores the trackback result information transmitted from the trackback destination and the content information of the trackback destination in the trackback execution information table 1053d.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, in the track back process for the article posted by the web log creator, the content information as the track back destination is acquired based on the keyword information registered in advance by the web log creator. Then, a plurality of trackback destination information based on the acquired content information is presented to the user terminal 300.

  For this reason, the web log creator does not search for a web log or the like as a track back destination related to the posted article using a search engine or the like, and the desired track back destination from the track back destination information provided from the web log server 100. Can be specified to track back.

  In addition, although the title information is displayed in the trackback destination information shown in FIG. 7, it can be configured to display a summary sentence of the trackback destination content information, while referring to the summary sentence of the trackback destination article information. Blog publishers can select trackback destinations for articles they post.

  For this reason, when performing trackback as in the prior art, trackback destination search, extraction of trackback URL information, and the like are not performed by the web log opener, and trackback can be easily and easily performed to a plurality of trackback destinations at once. It can be carried out. Therefore, by the track back process of the present embodiment, it is possible to easily realize the connection of information by the web log, and to maximize the information distribution by the web log.

  In addition, by registering keyword information according to articles posted separately from keywords registered in advance by the weblog opener, it is possible to provide a trackback destination based on new RSS information to the weblog opener. Trackback can be performed with respect to the trackback destination most suitable for the article to be recorded, and the latest information can be trackbacked with the public information.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining a weblog service providing system according to the second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an overview of the weblog service providing system of this embodiment and the configuration of the weblog server. In this embodiment, a keyword generation unit 1052a that automatically generates (extracts) a new keyword related to the keyword information registered in the weblog server 100 via the user terminal 300 by the web log creator is provided in the first embodiment. Have. As shown in FIG. 9, the trackback database 105 of this embodiment includes a keyword candidate table 1053e for storing keyword candidate information generated by the keyword generation unit 1052a. Other configurations and functions thereof are the same as those of the first embodiment, and thus description thereof is omitted.

  Here, an overview of the keyword generation processing by the keyword generation unit 1052a of the present embodiment will be described. As described in the first embodiment, the keyword information table 1053a stores keyword information registered by one web log creator based on his / her hobbies and preferences, and similarly, a plurality of other web log creators. Each keyword information registered based on hobbies and preferences is also stored.

  Then, the RSS acquisition unit 1051 performs an RSS acquisition process using all the keyword information stored in the keyword information table 1053a, that is, all the keyword information individually registered by a large number of web log openers, as extracted keywords. The matching RSS information is stored as content information in the content information table 1053b.

  At this time, for example, the keyword K1 registered by the web log opener A matches the content information M, and the same content information M also matches in the keyword K2 different from the keyword K1 registered by the web log opener B. There is a case. That is, a plurality of different keywords for the same content information M may be extracted keywords.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, when the content information acquired by the RSS acquisition process has a plurality of extracted keywords, it is likely that the extracted keywords are related to each other, and one web log is opened. When the content information acquired based on the keyword registered by the user has other extracted keywords, the keyword generating unit 1052a automatically extracts these other extracted keywords.

  Further, in the present embodiment, keyword generation is performed using a keyword corresponding to the content information of the trackback destination (trackback processing completed) actually performed, that is, the extracted keyword of the content information stored in the trackback execution information table 1053d. The keyword generation processing by the unit 1052a is performed.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining the keyword generation processing of this embodiment. First, the keyword generation unit 1052a acquires content information (first content information) including URL information and extracted keyword information of each content information from the trackback execution information table 1053d in which the content information after the trackback processing is stored ( In step S301, content information (second content information) corresponding to the extracted URL information is extracted from the content information table 1053b (S302).

  Then, the keyword generating unit 1052a adds the keyword information of the first content information, that is, one web log, to the extracted keyword item of the second content information extracted from the content information table 1053b as shown in FIG. 9B. It is determined whether or not extracted keyword information different from the keyword registered in the weblog server 100 via the user terminal 300 is stored (S303).

  If the extracted keyword information different from the registered keyword is stored in the content information table 1053b in this step 303, the other extracted keyword information is extracted and stored in the keyword candidate table 1053e (S304). Thereafter, when the keyword candidate information stored in the keyword candidate table 1053e is automatically registered in the keyword information table 1053a, the keyword candidate information is automatically registered in the keyword information table 1053a (S305, S306).

  On the other hand, when the keyword candidate information is not automatically registered in the keyword information table 1053a, that is, when the keyword candidate information is stored in the keyword candidate table 1053e, the keyword selection registration screen C2 as shown in FIG. The keyword management unit 1052 transmits the keyword candidate information to the user terminal 300 so that the keyword candidate list information is displayed in the keyword candidate column C203. Then, in the user terminal 300, by selecting a keyword to be newly registered from the keyword candidate list information, the user terminal 300 can be registered in the weblog server 100 as a new extracted keyword of the weblog opener.

  As described above, in this embodiment, new keyword information related to the keyword information already registered by the web log creator can be automatically generated and stored in the keyword information table 1053b.

  For this reason, it is possible to extract a wide range of content information as trackback destinations. That is, a plurality of different keywords for the same content information may be used as extraction keywords for other content information, respectively, and the keyword information newly registered from the keyword candidate list information may be It is possible to extract a wide range of content information that could not be acquired with the keyword information already registered by the weblog opener. Therefore, a plurality of trackback destinations can be suitably presented to the weblog establishment person.

  Furthermore, since new keyword information is generated based on keywords corresponding to the content information of the trackback destination where the trackback is actually performed, provision of keyword candidate information suitable for the hobby / preference of the weblog opener and content Information acquisition can be performed.

  In addition, when the web log creator performs keyword selection on the keyword selection registration screen C2 displayed on the user terminal 300, the keyword generation process of the present embodiment is applied, so that a new keyword is automatically given to the web log creator. Information can be provided.

  As shown in FIG. 11, when the keyword designation information designated on the keyword selection registration screen C2 is transmitted from the user terminal 300 to the weblog server 100 (S401), the keyword generation unit 1052a includes the designated keyword information. Content information to be extracted from the content information table 1053b (S402).

  Then, the keyword generating unit 1052a determines whether or not keyword information different from the designated keyword from the user terminal 300 is stored as the extracted keyword of the content information in the extracted keyword item of the content information extracted from the content information table 1053b. Is discriminated (S403).

  In this step 403, if the extracted keyword information different from the designated keyword is stored in the content information table 1053b, the other extracted keyword information is extracted and stored in the keyword candidate table 1053e (S404).

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 12, the keyword candidate information stored in the keyword candidate table 1053e is displayed as a list in the keyword candidate column C203 of the keyword selection registration screen C2, and the keyword candidate information is transmitted to the user terminal 300 (S407). . The user terminal 300 can select a keyword to be newly registered from the keyword candidate list information displayed in the keyword candidate field C203. When the keyword management unit 1052 receives the keyword registration request data based on the keyword candidate information from the user terminal 300 (S408), the keyword management table 1052 uses the requested keyword candidate information as a new extracted keyword of the weblog opener. It is stored in 1053a (S409).

  The keyword candidate information may be automatically registered in the keyword information table 1053a when the keyword candidate information is stored in the keyword candidate table 1053e by the setting process of the web log opener or the web log server 100. Yes (S405, S406).

  As described above, the keyword information related to the keyword registered by the web log creator in the web log server 100 can be presented to the web log creator at the time of keyword selection when selecting a trackback destination. Therefore, the web log creator can easily select (register) the keyword information related to the article to be posted without creating it himself, and can easily and quickly select the trackback destination.

  In addition, when a web log creator registers his / her keyword information, he / she can create a keyword while referring to the keyword candidate list information. Therefore, in view of the objectivity of the extracted keyword of the extracted content information. Keyword registration is possible.

  As described above, in the first and second embodiments, the trackback process which is one of the web log functions is provided by the web log service providing system. However, the track back process of the present invention is applied to the track back process provided by the conventional web log service providing system. It is also possible to configure to apply processing.

  Specifically, the trackback processing of the present invention is not only provided as a program, but the trackback unit 105 can be applied to a conventional weblog service providing system as a trackback system or a trackback device. For example, the trackback unit 105 of the present invention is configured as a trackback support server including an RSS acquisition unit 1051, a keyword management unit 1052, a trackback destination information generation unit 1054, a URL extraction unit 1055, a trackback processing unit 1056, and a trackback database 105. The trackback support server is additionally applied to the trackback processing in the conventional web log service providing system.

  In other words, in the registration screen C1 of FIG. 5, when the track log selection button or the like is designated from the user terminal by the user terminal, the keyword registration screen program is transmitted to the user terminal 300 by the track back support server, and the registered keyword By performing the RSS acquisition process and the trackback destination information generation process based on the information, the trackback process of the present invention can be provided.

  In the first and second embodiments, when selecting the trackback destination in the user terminal 300, the content information based on the specified keyword information is stored in the extracted content information table 1053c, and information on the previous trackback destination is stored in the next article posting. It is configured to be displayed on the track back display unit C103 of the registration screen C1. For this reason, it is possible to select a new trackback destination as an article posting or a trackback destination based on the previous trackback destination information, and to reduce the processing load on the weblog server 100.
