Description

  The present invention relates to a browsing history search / display method and apparatus, and a computer-readable recording medium, and more particularly to search and display a personal browser browsing history, an operation history such as mail and a file based on an operation sequence. The present invention relates to a browsing history search / display method and apparatus, and a computer-readable recording medium.

  Browser pages viewed by individuals hold a cache space in the browser application, and information accessed for several days is stored there.

  For e-mails, e-mails received in a format that can be decrypted by the application or text format are saved.

  The created / edited document is saved in a format that can be decoded by the application or OS, or in a text format.

  If you select the history display from the menu for the saved information as described above, the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of the page viewed in one month will be retained and sorted by date (3 weeks ago, 2 weeks ago, last week , Yesterday, today), Microsoft Internet Explorer (registered trademark), which sorts the pages in the order of the sites, the number of times the sites are displayed, and the pages displayed today.

  The email software also uses Becky! (Registered trademark) to search the email text that matches the entered keyword by specifying date information such as the date and time of transmission / reception, the number of days, the period, and a specific date as search options. )and so on.

  On the other hand, when searching for a file with a search tool attached to Windows (registered trademark) XP, it is possible to find a file that matches the input keyword by specifying the last update date, size, etc. as search options.

  Further, as a tool for searching an electronic medium stored on a computer, there is Google Desktop Serch (registered trademark) provided by Google Inc. By using such a tool, files created by various applications are targeted, and it is possible to find a file required by the user at a time.

  A method has been proposed in which a history of user operation of a computer is stored on a local PC (personal computer), and files and Web pages that have been browsed before are effectively used (see, for example, Patent Document 1 and Non-Patent Document 1). .

In addition, there is a technique for displaying the history extracted in units of time for each history type by browsing content on the network, registering operation history and usage history of terminals and applications on the network on the server (for example, , See Patent Document 2).

  However, with the above technology, it is possible to search for a single file, but information such as pages and other files that were referred to when creating a file cannot be found unless a keyword is included. In addition, these tools are file-based searches, and it is difficult to grasp how the work has shifted to arrive at the information required by the user.

  Or, if you want to look back on what you were looking for yesterday, you can't search for yesterday's action unless you enter a keyword, or even if you can search from the history by specifying the date, you can only display it by file unit, work It is difficult to grasp the whole.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points.
・ When a user operates a computer to save a record and reuses it, the operation sequence including the keyword is extracted from the history by giving the keyword that the user wants to search;
-Next, for each object, the score calculated based on the browsing act and keyword matching degree of the page, mail, and file (these are called objects) that the user was browsing included in the operation sequence When displaying the operation sequence, the one with the highest score is displayed prominently, and the operation flow and what the user was interested in at that time are highlighted and shown to the user;
・ Alternatively, a score calculated based on the browsing action for objects included in a sequence operated for a certain period without specifying a keyword is obtained for each object, and when the operation sequence is displayed, the score is high. Display things prominently, highlighting the flow of operations and what the user was interested in at the time;
・ Furthermore, visualize the relationship before and after the operation sequence to show the changing interests of users;

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 3 is a configuration diagram of the browsing history search / display apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  The browsing history search / display device 1 shown in FIG. 1 is connected to an operation record storage unit 3, an external input unit 14, and an operation content display unit 15. Note that the computer used as the browsing history search / display device 1 records in advance a record of operations such as a user's keying on the keyboard or clicking a mouse, and a screen capture of a browsed Web page. It is assumed that both the operation content and time information, such as a record of the position and size of the displayed window, are automatically saved.

  The external input unit 14 includes a keyboard and a mouse, and inputs keywords, time information, and various instructions designated by the user to the browsing history search / display device 1.

  The operation content display unit 15 is a display.

  The browsing history search / display device 1 includes an operation record collection unit 2, an operation content search unit 4, an operation sequence extraction unit 5, an object score calculation unit 12, and an extraction result display control unit 13. The operation sequence extraction unit 5 includes: An object extraction unit 6, a start object extraction unit 7, an end object extraction unit 8, an object extraction unit 9 before the start object, an object extraction unit 10 after the end object, an extraction object connection unit 11, and a memory 16.

  The operation record collection unit 2 collects an operation history stored in a server on the network, information on an application running on the local computer, and the like according to an instruction from the external input unit 14, and uses the result as operation history data. Is stored in the operation record storage unit 3.

  As a method for acquiring an operation history from a server on the network, for example, there is a method such as Amazon.co.jp.http: //www.amazon.co.jp. Further, as a method of collecting histories from the local computer, there is a method as shown in Non-Patent Document 1 described above.

  In the present embodiment, the operation history information including browsing time is collected from a server or a local computer via a network. However, the present invention is not limited to these, and various systems are collected. In the form, it is also possible to collect from an apparatus having operation history information, storage means, or the like.

  The collected contents are the date and time when the operation record was acquired, the operation target of the mouse and keyboard, the mouse operation content such as clicking the left button, the type of the pressed keyboard (English characters, numbers, control keys, etc.), and the keyboard operation (key down) , Key-up, etc.) content, application window status (active, inactive, etc.), content displayed in the window and accompanying information (text and URL for Web pages, text for email, header information) If it is a file, it is a body, a file name, a storage directory, an application used, and the like.

  An instruction to search the history is input from the external input unit 14 to the operation content search unit 4. The operation content search unit 4 requests the extraction of the corresponding operation sequence by transferring the instruction to the operation sequence extraction unit 5. The input instruction is a keyword or time information.

  The object extraction unit 6 of the operation sequence extraction unit 5 reads the history data from the operation record storage unit 3 based on the keyword or time information, extracts the object, and stores it in the memory 16. At this time, if a keyword is specified, an object including the keyword is extracted, and if time information is specified, an object corresponding to the time information is extracted. Here, when a period is designated as time information, a history from the present to that time is a search target. When a specific date is specified, only the specified date is searched. In addition, when neither a period nor a date is input as time information, all history information is targeted.

  The start object extraction unit 7 sets the object having the earliest viewing time in the operation sequence as the start object and stores it in the memory 16.

  The end object extraction unit 8 determines an end object for the start object and stores it in the memory 16.

  The extracted object connecting unit 11 extracts all the objects sandwiched between the determined start object and end object, performs association, obtains an operation sequence, and passes the operation sequence to the object score calculation unit 12.

  When a keyword is specified, the object score calculation unit 12 calculates a score based on the degree (fitness) that the keyword is included in the object and the points given for each browsing action, and assigns the score to the object. When the scores of all the keywords are obtained, up to m objects are flagged in the descending order of the scores and stored in the memory 16.

  Based on the data stored in the memory 16 by the object score calculation unit 12, the extraction result display control unit 13 selects a method for making the objects flagged in order from the highest score stand out at the time of display. To do.

  For example, change the thickness of the thumbnail frame from the highest score to the highest m-th score from (m + 1) pixels to 2 pixels, from 1 to m / 4 is red, m / 4 + 1 The display method is defined in advance such as pink from m / 2 to m / 2, orange from m / 2 + 1 to 3m / 4, yellow from 3m / 4 + 1 to mth, and so on.

  The operation content display unit 15 displays the search result by the method instructed by the extraction result display control unit 13.

  The operation in the above configuration will be described below.

  Here, an operation when a keyword is designated from the external input unit 14 will be described.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart of the operation by specifying a keyword in one embodiment of the present invention.

  Step 100) The operation record collecting unit 2 collects, in advance, a history of operations performed by the user on the computer from a server on the computer or the network, and stores it in the operation record storage unit 3.

  Step 200) In the external input unit 14, the user inputs a keyword for what the user wants to find from the history stored on the computer or server to the operation content search unit 4. At this time, the search target of the input keyword is limited to what is called an object such as a Web page, mail, or file.

  Step 300) Based on the input keyword, the object extraction unit 6 of the operation sequence extraction unit 5 searches the operation record storage unit 3, acquires the object, and based on the browse time information of the acquired object, End objects are found, and those including objects viewed within those times are extracted as operation sequences.

  Here, a search method for the start object and the end object will be described.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart (part 1) of the start / end object search process according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  Step 301) All the objects including the keyword are extracted from the objects acquired by the object extracting unit 6 of the operation sequence unit 5, and the keyword inclusion flag is turned on and stored in the memory 16.

  Step 302) In the start object extraction unit 7, the object having the earliest viewing time among the objects stored in the memory 16 is set as the start object and stored in the memory 16.

  Step 303) In the end object extraction unit 8, from the object for which the keyword inclusion flag stored in the memory 16 is turned on, an object whose time has elapsed since the viewing time of the start object (after the start object in time series) A certain object) is found and stored in the memory 16.

  Step 304) The end object extraction unit 8 obtains the time difference between the object found in Step 303 and the next object.

  Step 305) If a certain time has elapsed, the process proceeds to step 306. If not, the process returns to step 303.

  Step 306) An object for which a predetermined time has elapsed and the keyword inclusion flag is turned on is determined as an end object, and the extracted object connecting unit 11 stores the operation sequence from the start object to the end object obtained above in the memory 16. To record. Thereby, when a user works on a computer, it can be extracted as a group of objects in consideration of continuity of operations based on the concept that each work is related.

  Step 307) If there is an object after the end object, the process proceeds to Step 308.

  Step 308) In order to extract a series of chunks from the next start object to the end object with the object after the end object having the earliest viewing time as the start object, the process proceeds to step 303.

  Step 400) In the object score calculation unit 12, for all objects included in the operation sequence extracted in Step 300, a score is calculated based on a predetermined point with respect to the browsing action and a keyword suitability, and given to the object The object and the score are stored in the memory 16.

  Step 500) The extraction result display control unit 13 displays the object based on the score stored in the memory 16 in Step 400. For example, the operation sequence having the highest score is displayed prominently, and the operation sequences are arranged in time order. The display method is not limited to this method.

  Step 600) When an instruction to display information before the start object is passed from the external input unit 14 to the operation sequence extraction unit 5, in order to display information before the start object of the operation sequence, before the start object In the object extraction unit 9, all the objects browsed while going back a certain time before the start object browsing time are acquired and displayed on the operation content display unit 15 via the extraction result display unit 3.

  Step 700) When an instruction to display information after the end object is given from the external input unit 14 to the operation sequence extraction unit 5, in order to display information after the end object of the operation sequence, Objects are acquired from all the operation record storage units 3 viewed while progressing after a certain time after the end object browsing time, and displayed on the operation content display unit 15 via the extraction result display unit 3.

  Next, a method for extracting a sequence operated in a certain period apart from a method for specifying a keyword will be described.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart of an operation for extracting a sequence operated for a certain period in one embodiment of the present invention.

  Step 1100) The operation record collection unit 2 collects, in advance, a history of user operations on the computer from a computer or a server on the network, and stores it in the operation record storage unit 3.

  Step 1200) In the external input unit 14, the time information is specified for the browsing time that the user wants to find from the history stored on the computer or the server to the operation content search unit 4. For example, when a period is designated as time information, a history from the present to that time is a search target. When a specific date is specified, only the specified date is searched. In addition, when neither a period nor a date is input as time information, all history information is targeted.

  Step 1300) Based on the input time information, the object extraction unit 6 of the operation sequence extraction unit 5 searches the operation record storage unit 3 to acquire an object, and based on the acquired browsing time information of the object, the start object And ending objects are extracted, and those including objects viewed within those times are extracted as operation sequences.

  Here, a search method for the start object and the end object will be described.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart (part 2) of the start / end object search process according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  Step 1301) The start object extraction unit 7 sets the extracted object with the earliest viewing time as the start object and stores it in the memory 16 in the operation sequence extraction unit 5.

  Step 1302) The end object extraction unit 8 obtains a time difference between the start object and the next object.

  Step 1303) If the time difference has passed a predetermined time, the process proceeds to Step 1304. If not, the process returns to Step 1302 with the next object as a comparison target.

  Step 1304) If the predetermined time has passed, the object is set as the end object.

  Step 1305) It is determined whether an object exists after the end object. If there is an object, the process proceeds to Step 1306. If it does not exist, the extracted object connecting unit 11 stores the operation sequence from the start object to the end object in the memory 16 of the operation sequence extracting unit 5.

  Step 1306) Among the objects after the end object, the object having the earliest browsing time is set as the start object, and the process proceeds to Step 1302.

  Step 1400) The object score calculation unit 12 calculates a score for all objects between the start object and the end object extracted in Step 1300 and stored in the memory 16 based on a predetermined point for the browsing action. The object and the score are stored in the memory 16.

  Step 1500) The extraction result display control unit 13 displays the operation sequence having the highest score conspicuously based on the score given in Step 1400 stored in the memory 16, and displays the operation sequences in order of time. To do. The display method is not limited to this method.

  Step 1600) When an instruction to display information before the start object is passed from the external input unit 14 to the operation sequence extraction unit 5, the start object is displayed to display information before the start object of the operation sequence. The object extraction unit 9 acquires all the objects that were browsed before going back a certain time before the start object browsing time, and displays them on the operation content display unit 15 via the extraction result display unit 3.

  Step 1700) When an instruction to display information after the end object is given from the external input unit 14 to the operation sequence extraction unit 5, in order to display information after the end object of the operation sequence, All objects browsed while progressing a certain time after the end object browsing time are acquired and displayed on the operation content display unit 15 via the extraction result display unit 3.

  When displaying an object before the start object in steps 600 and 700 of FIG. 4 and steps 1600 and 1700 of FIG. Extract all objects that have been specified in advance for a certain period of time. The extracted object having the earliest viewing time is redefined as a new start object and stored in the memory 16.

  When displaying an object after the end object, the object extraction unit 10 after the end object extracts all objects after a predetermined time specified in advance from the browsing time of the end object. The extracted object having the latest browsing time is redefined as a new end object and stored in the memory 16. Based on this data, the extracted object connecting unit 11 creates a new operation sequence.

  Next, display control for the operation content display unit 15 will be described.

  8 to 12 show display examples.

  When the extraction result display control unit 13 displays the extracted result, as shown in FIG. 8, the extraction result display control unit 13 displays each time range for the keyword specified in time order, and clicks the column “view details”. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, detailed information can be displayed in the display order. What is displayed is a thumbnail of the object, a title representing the object (a character string sandwiched between <title> and </ title> tags for a Web page, a subject for an email, and a file name for a file There are items such as object summary.

  In addition, in FIG. 9, when “view more forward” is clicked in the upper left, the operation sequence before “WebPage1” shown in FIG. Can see.

  It is also possible to display in proportion to the time interval. In this case, when a predetermined time interval is designated, the extraction result display control unit 13 acquires and displays an operation sequence from the memory 16 according to the time interval. At this time, the extraction result display control unit 13 may sort the objects stored in the memory 16 in the order of the browsing time start time, and arrange the items on the screen in proportion to the browsing time start time. . An example of this is shown in FIG.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 12, there is a method of displaying objects separately for each site. In the example of FIG. 12, the object for the site “aaa.jp” is “WebPage1”, and the objects for the site “bbb.org” are “WebPage2”, “WebPage3”, and “WebPage4”.

  When the next web page object is displayed by pressing a link in the previous object between the web page objects, an arrow is drawn from the previous object to the next object to indicate that there is a relationship. When a plurality of Web pages are displayed and the pages are simply switched, it is possible to indicate that there is no relation by not drawing an arrow.

  Also, if the previous object and the next object are related by the In-Reply-To header or the References header between mail objects, an arrow is drawn, otherwise an arrow is not drawn.

  In this way, the browsed contents are taken out as a set of operation sequences, and the operation flow is displayed for each arrow or site. Furthermore, it is possible to easily look back to the user what he was doing by displaying the high score at that time in a conspicuous manner.

  Also, the operations shown in FIGS. 4 to 7 in the above embodiment can be constructed as a program and installed and executed on a computer used as a browsing history search / display device, or distributed via a network. Is possible.
