Description

  The present invention relates to a Web page re-editing method and system for acquiring and synthesizing related information described in other Web pages in an arbitrary Web page, and in particular, when browsing a Web page, the related information is led by a viewer. The present invention relates to a Web page re-editing method and system for dynamically performing acquisition / composition processing.

  As a Web page re-editing method, there is a method in which, when a Web page is produced, the Web page creator manually acquires information described in another Web page and synthesizes it in advance.

  For example, when describing the map information of a store on the Web page of a certain store, first, the address of the store is searched on a certain map search site, and the URL of the search result page is described in its own page, The map image (or IMG tag) in the search result page is copied and used in the own page.

  In recent years, Web services (Web Services: a general term for software that can integrate applications on different platforms by using Internet standard technologies such as XML, HTTP, SOAP, etc.) It is realized that information published by a service site (for example, news, stock price information, horoscope, etc.) is dynamically combined into a Web page.

  Specifically, when a web page is created, the web page creator describes the information to be described in the page as a tag (called a portlet) in accordance with the specifications established by each web service site, so that the viewer can When browsing the Web page, corresponding information is dynamically acquired, combined, and presented (for example, see Non-Patent Document 1).

  In addition, as a method of acquiring related information of the Web page at the time of browsing the Web page, a method using a search by a right click menu which is an extended function of the Web browser can be considered.

  For example, when browsing a store's web page, if you want to get a map image of the store, drag the store name or address in the web page and select the map search item from the right-click menu. The retrieved Web page is displayed in a newly opened window.

In addition, recently, by using a function called a bookmarklet, it is realized that when browsing a web page, information related to the web page is acquired or a display of the web page is changed by a viewer. ing. Here, “bookmarklet” will be described. It is a small program (written in one line) written in JavaScript that can be registered and used as a bookmark in the Web browser. Normally, when a bookmark is selected by the Web browser, the Web page with the URL indicated by the bookmark is displayed on the Web Although displayed in the browser, when a bookmarklet is selected, the JavaScript program indicated by the bookmarklet is activated, and various operations can be realized. The search bookmarklet is shown below.
Javacript: var selTxt = ”; if (window.getSelection) selTxt = window.getSelection (); else
if (document.getSelection) seTxt = document, getSlection (); void (document.location.href = 'http: //www.DEF.com/search? q =' escape (selTxt));
Specifically, as with the right-click menu search, after dragging the address information in a certain web page, selecting a bookmarklet for map search, a window that newly opens the search result on the map search site Can browse. In addition, temporarily displaying the web page being browsed, such as enlarging / reducing an image included in the web page being browsed, or combining and presenting information to be separately set on the web page being browsed (Reloads to restore the original state).

  However, during the production of a web page, the web page creator manually acquires information described in other web pages and pre-combines the information or dynamically uses a web service. In the method for synthesizing, it is necessary to describe information to be synthesized in advance by the web page producer or a tag designating information to be synthesized when the web page is produced.

  Therefore, in the conventional method, at the time of browsing the web page, the web page cannot be dynamically re-edited by the viewer, and the information to be synthesized is determined in advance by the web page producer, You can't make decisions on the part of viewers.

  Further, in the method using the right click menu, related information of the Web page can be acquired at the initiative of the viewer when browsing the Web page, but the information that can be acquired is limited to items set as the right click menu. Furthermore, since the right-click menu is usually a plug-in for a Web browser, it is difficult to increase the number of items and to change or expand the contents.

  On the other hand, in the method using bookmarklet, the processing contents can be described in JavaScript, so any user who understands JavaScript can change or extend it arbitrarily.

  However, since the processing content described in the bookmarklet is executed on the Web browser, the processing content is limited to the security setting of the Web browser. As a result, a Web page describing the related information as considered in the present invention is acquired, only the related information is extracted from the Web page, and is combined with the Web page being browsed and presented, or the acquired Web page It is not possible to perform processing for other Web pages such as tracing an anchor included in the URL and transitioning to another Web page.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and the re-editing process of a web page is performed by acquiring an edit part (implemented by a bookmarklet) for a web page displayed on a web browser and a related page. A web that can acquire and synthesize related information described in other web pages in the web page at the initiative of the viewer when browsing any web page by separating it from the related information extraction part and linking them together It is an object to provide a page re-editing method and system.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining the principle of the present invention.

  The Web data transmission unit 27 transmits the target related information extracted by the Web data extraction unit 26 to the browser PC 5.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the operation in the embodiment of the present invention. The communication procedure among the Web page re-editing device 2, the Web server 3, the search server 4, and the browser PC 5 is executed by each computer. The processing procedure to be performed is shown.

(1) Acquisition of bookmarklet;
First, the viewer accesses the web page reediting device 2 from the viewer PC 5 and acquires a bookmarklet managed by the web page reediting device 2.

  Specifically, in the Web page re-editing apparatus 2, the bookmarklet publicizing unit 21 publishes a bookmarklet introduction Web page as shown in FIG. At this time, the bookmarklet publishing unit 21 publishes the JavaScript program indicated by the bookmarklet in an anchor format having the href attribute. The introduction web page describes the description and usage of each bookmarklet.

  Then, the viewer accesses the introduction Web page on the browser PC 5, opens a right-click menu on the anchor where the bookmarklet is set, and selects “Bookmark this link” to use the viewer. The selected bookmarklet is registered in the bookmark of the Web browser of the browser PC 5.

  At this time, the bookmarklet is not a format for describing the program itself as described in the background section, but the program body is described in an independent JavaScript file (script: see FIG. 8) as shown in FIG. The bookmarklet has a format in which an instruction for reading the script into a Web page being browsed and executing a program described in the script is written.

  In this way, by separating the bookmarklet and the program itself, the program corresponding to the bookmarklet can be easily changed / expanded even after the viewer registers the bookmarklet in his / her web browser. System can be configured.

(2) Selection of bookmarklet;
FIG. 9 shows a basic configuration of a bookmarklet and a script indicated by the bookmarklet according to an embodiment of the present invention, which are described as being provided independently from the viewer PC 5 in the same figure. However, it is deployed and operates on the JavaScript engine of the Web browser.

  Among these, the bookmarklet 6 includes a script acquisition unit 61 and a script insertion unit 62, and is expanded in response to a bookmarklet selection operation by a viewer. The configuration of the script 7 will be described later.

  Although not shown in FIG. 9, the Web page displayed on the browser PC (Web browser) 5 is stored on the internal memory of the browser PC (Web browser) 5, and the internal page A re-editing process is executed on the Web page stored in the memory. That is, the Web page on the Web server 3 is not re-edited, but the display of the Web page on the viewer PC (Web browser) 5 is temporarily changed.

  Hereinafter, the operation will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the viewer acquires a bookmarklet from the Web page reediting apparatus 2 (step 101). Then, the web server 3 (or the search server 4) is accessed, and an arbitrary web page is displayed on the web browser (step 102).

  Then, the user selects a bookmarklet to be executed with respect to the Web page being browsed from the bookmark of the Web browser (Step 103). At this time, the selected bookmark is developed on the JavaScript engine of the Web browser.

  Hereinafter, the flow of processing when the “get map image” bookmarklet shown in FIG. 6 is selected will be described with reference to FIGS. 5, 7, and 9.

  First, the script acquisition unit 61 accesses the Web page re-editing device 2, and the script 7 indicated by the selected bookmarklet (here, http: //remixserver/map_ABC.js, see FIG. 8) Obtained from the script storage unit 22 of the editing device 2 (step 104).

Next, the script insertion unit 62 uses the SCRIPT tag having the acquired script 7 as the src attribute.
(<script src = ”http: //remixserver/map_ABC.js” type = ”text / javascript”></script>) is generated, and the SCRIPT tag is inserted into the web page being browsed (step 105) .

  At this time, the acquired script 7 is developed on the JavaScript engine of the Web browser, and the script activation unit 70 (see FIG. 9) executes the initialization function described in the script (step 106).

  Here, as shown in FIG. 8, as an initialization function, a drag operation (event) that occurs on a Web page is monitored, and an event listener to be acquired is set to the Web page being browsed.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 9, the script 7 includes a script starting unit 70, an event receiving unit 71, an event analyzing unit 72, an event data transmitting unit 73, a Web data receiving unit 74, and a Web data inserting unit 75. It is deployed on the JavaScript engine of the Web browser and operates.

(3) Re-editing web pages;
(3-1) Action execution;
First, in the re-editing of a Web page, refer to FIGS. 5, 8, and 9 regarding processing performed by the script 7 developed on the JavaScript engine of the Web browser after an action (re-editing request) from a viewer occurs. I will explain.

  First, the viewer performs an action corresponding to the bookmarklet selected in step 103. Here, as an action (see FIG. 6) corresponding to the “get map image” bookmarklet (see FIG. 6), “drag the address text” described in the Web page being browsed (step 107) (see FIG. 10).

  At this time, the event receiving unit 71 of the script 7 receives the occurrence of the event accompanying the action from the viewer, and the event analyzing unit 72 executes processing corresponding to the received event (step 108).

  Specifically, first, the event receiving unit 71 acquires the address text dragged by the viewer.

Then, a SCRIPT tag for transmitting the acquired address text to the map image acquisition CGI provided by the Web page re-editing device 2
(<scriptsrc = ”http: //remixserver/cgi-bin/map_ABC.cgi? id = Map1 & amp: loc = address text” </ script>)
And insert it after the dragged address text.

  At this time, when the SCRIPT tag is inserted into the Web page, the event data transmission unit 73 is activated and executes the process indicated by the SCRIPT tag. That is, the event data generated by the event analysis unit 72 is transmitted to the Web page reediting apparatus 2 (step 109).

  Here, the address text dragged by the viewer, the ID indicating the event data transmission SCRIPT tag generated by the event analysis unit 72, and the map image acquisition processing request are transmitted as event data to the Web page re-editing apparatus 2. .

(3-2) Acquisition / extraction of related information;
Next, processing performed by the Web page reediting apparatus 2 after reception from the viewer PC 5 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4, 5, and 11.

  FIG. 11 shows an example of a program (CGI) executed by the Web page re-editing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention, and the program is stored in association with each script stored in the script storage unit 22. It is assumed that it is managed by the unit 23. For example, the program management unit 23 may manage the correspondence between each function name of the script and each CGI name of the program using a table or the like.

  First, the event data receiving unit 24 of the Web page re-editing apparatus 2 receives the event data transmitted from the viewer PC 5 and acquires various data included in the event data (step 110). Specifically, the map image acquisition unit CGI program is read from the program storage unit 22, and the data specified as an argument of the CGI, here, the address text dragged by the viewer and the SCRIPT generated for event data transmission An ID indicating a tag is acquired (see FIG. 11).

  Next, the web browsing operation execution unit 25 performs a web browsing operation described in the CGI program that has been accessed, thereby transitioning to and acquiring the target web page (step 111).

  Specifically, first, the top page of the map search service to be used is accessed, and then a search operation is executed using the address text acquired in step 110 as a query. For example, an operation of inputting address text in a search form displayed on the top page and clicking a search button is executed. Then, a Web page as a search result is acquired (see FIG. 11).

  At this time, although not described in the program of FIG. 11, it is conceivable to analyze a Web page acquired as a search result and determine whether the Web page is a target page.

  Specifically, the web browsing operation execution unit 25 determines whether or not a map image is included in the web page, whether or not the address text acquired in step 110 is described in the web page. If the acquired Web page is the target Web page, the execution of the Web browsing operation is terminated. On the other hand, if it is not the target Web page, for example, there are a plurality of candidates as search results, and if the search result Web page does not include a map image and a candidate list is displayed, each candidate is displayed in turn. Move to the Web page indicated by the candidate, repeat the above process, and derive the target Web page.

  Next, the web data extraction unit 26 analyzes the web page acquired by the web browsing operation execution unit 25, and extracts target information (web data) from the web page (step 112).

  Specifically, the URL (src attribute of the IMG tag) of each image included in the acquired Web page is collated with the URL description format of the preset map image, and the URL indicated by the map image included in the Web page is acquired. To do. Furthermore, the URL of the Web page is acquired (see FIG. 11).

  Then, the Web data transmission unit 27 transmits the information (Web data) acquired by the Web data extraction unit 26 to the browser PC 5 (Web browser) (step 113).

  Specifically, an IMG tag having the URL of the acquired map image as the src attribute and an A tag having the URL of the Web page including the map image as the href attribute are generated, and the IMG tag and the A tag are being browsed. A JavaScript program to be embedded in the Web page is transmitted to the browser PC 5 (Web browser).

(3-3) Synthesis of related information:
Lastly, referring to FIGS. 5 and 9, the processing performed by the viewer PC 5 after receiving the Web data from the Web page reorganization editing apparatus 2, more precisely, the script 7 developed on the JavaScript engine of the Web browser will be described. I will explain.

  First, the Web data receiving unit 74 of the script 7 receives the Web data transmitted from the Web page re-editing device 2, and the Web data inserting unit 75 executes the JavaScript program indicated by the received Web data, thereby Information described in the Web data is inserted into the Web page being browsed (step 114).

  Here, the IMG tag having the URL of the map image acquired by the Web page re-editing apparatus 2 as the src attribute and the A tag having the URL of the Web page including the map image as the href attribute are generated in step 108. Insert after the SCRIPT tag for sending event data (see Fig. 11).

  As a result, a map image corresponding to the address text is synthesized and presented behind the address text dragged by the viewer in step 107 (step 115).

  FIG. 12 shows an example of a Web page after the map image composition, and FIG. 13 shows an HTML document after the map image composition. At this time, the viewer can browse the original web page on which the map image was posted by clicking on the synthesized map image.

(3-4) Web page re-editing;
As shown in FIG. 12, when a new address text is dragged in a state where a map image has already been inserted, the processing shown in the above-mentioned steps 107 to 114 is executed, so that as shown in FIG. In addition, a map image corresponding to the address text is newly synthesized behind the newly dragged address text and presented to the Web browser.

  As described above, once a bookmarklet is selected, an action corresponding to the bookmarklet can be executed to synthesize a Web page while browsing related information continuously.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[First embodiment]
In the above-described embodiment, after selecting a bookmarklet, a method for synthesizing related information with a Web page being browsed at any time according to an action from a viewer has been described.

  In the present embodiment, a method of synthesizing a plurality of related information on a web page being browsed at once following selection of a bookmarklet will be described.

  Note that the processing described in this embodiment can be easily realized by extending the processing described in the embodiment.

  The processing of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

(1) Acquisition of bookmarklet:
First, the viewer accesses the bookmarklet introduction web page (see FIG. 6) published by the bookmarklet publishing unit 21 of the web page re-editing device 2, and the bookmarklet, here “collection of store images” bookmark. A let is acquired (step 101).

(2) Selection of bookmarklet:
Next, the viewer accesses the Web server 3 and displays an arbitrary Web page, here, a “DEF round search result page” (see FIG. 15) on the Web browser (step 102).

  Then, the acquired “collection of store images” bookmarklet is selected from the bookmarks of the Web browser (step 103).

  At this time, the script acquisition unit 61 acquires the script 7 indicated by the selected bookmarklet from the Web page re-editing apparatus 2 (step 104), and the script insertion unit 62 adds a SCRIPT tag having the script 7 as a src attribute. It is inserted into the web page being browsed (step 105).

  Thereafter, the script starting unit 70 executes the initialization function described in the script (step 106).

Here, as an initialization function, the anchor described in the web page being browsed is analyzed,
<A href-“http://DEF.co.jp/\w+/” target=”_top”>
The anchor (anchor to each store page displayed as a search result) matching the description format is extracted.

A SCRIPT tag for transmitting a URL (href attribute) indicating each extracted anchor in the store image acquisition CGI provided by the Web page reediting device 2 behind each extracted anchor.
<script src = ”http: //remixserver/cgi-bin/img_grnavi.cgi=? id = ID indicating each SCRIPT tag &amp; url = URL indicated by each anchor”></script>
Is generated and inserted (step 108).

  At this time, when the SCRIPT tag is inserted into the Web page, the event data transmission unit 73 is activated, and the Web page re-editing device 2 is notified of the event data, here, the URL indicated by each anchor, and each SCRIPT tag. And the store image acquisition processing request are transmitted (step 109).

  As described above, in this embodiment, it is analyzed whether the preset contents are described in the web page being browsed without the action (step 107) from the viewer, and the web page is automatically re-edited. Execute the process.

  Thereafter, the processing in the Web page re-editing apparatus 2 after receiving event data from the viewer PC 5 and the processing in the viewer PC 5 after receiving Web data from the Web page re-editing apparatus 20 are described in the above embodiment. This is almost the same as the process flow described in.

(3-2) Acquisition / extraction of related information;
First, the event data receiving unit 24 receives the event data transmitted from the viewer PC 5 and acquires various data included in the event data (step 110).

  Next, the web browsing operation execution unit 25 makes a transition / acquisition to the web page indicated by the URL obtained in step 110, that is, each store page displayed as a search result (step 111).

  Then, the Web data extraction unit 26 extracts the target information from the acquired Web page, here, the store image (Step 112). Specifically, among images included in the acquired Web page, an image having a store name as an alt attribute, particularly an image that appears first, is extracted as a store image.

  After that, as a result of the extraction by the Web data transmission unit 27, specifically, a JavaScript program for embedding the extracted store image behind the corresponding anchor is transmitted to the viewer PC 5 (step 113).

(3-3) Synthesis of related information;
First, the web data receiving unit 74 receives the web data transmitted from the web page reediting device 2, and the web data inserting unit 75 executes the JavaScript program indicated by the received web data (step 114).

  As a result, the store image posted on the store page indicated by the anchor is synthesized and presented behind the anchor extracted in step 106 (step 115).

  Thereafter, the acquisition / extraction of the related information and the synthesis process of the related information are executed for each anchor extracted in step 106, so that each store has an anchor to each store page as shown in FIG. A page in which the store images of the pages are combined is presented to the viewer.

  Thereby, the browsing person can judge from the image by which the atmosphere of each store, etc. are shown, without moving to each store page.

[Second Embodiment]
In the above-described embodiment, the method of synthesizing an image (IMG tag) as related information has been described. However, by changing the Web data extraction process (step 112) in the process described in the embodiment, the Web Any text or table (TABLE tag) in the page can be extracted and synthesized easily.

[Third embodiment]
In the above-described embodiment, the information described in the Web page being browsed, such as the address text dragged by the viewer and the URL indicated by the anchor that matches the condition, is transmitted as the event data.

  In the present embodiment, it is possible to customize / personalize the information to be synthesized for each viewer by separately creating options and profiles for each viewer and transmitting the information as event data.

  For example, at the time of synthesizing the map image described in the above-described embodiment, the viewer sets an image size and a map scale as options in advance, and transmits such information as event data, and the Web page re-editing device 2 By changing the Web data sent back from, the size and scale of the map image synthesized for each viewer can be changed.

[Fourth embodiment]
In the above-described embodiment, the Web page re-editing device 2 is described as a device that operates on a computer independent of the viewer PC 5. However, the Web page re-editing device 2 is provided as a Web browser plug-in or local proxy and operates on the viewer PC 5. It is also conceivable to adopt a configuration that does this.
