Description

The present invention relates to a method of providing a service via the Internet or the like, and more particularly, to a third party service providing method and a third party service providing apparatus.

  Today, the Internet is already widespread and fully commercialized all over the world, deeply penetrating into various areas of people's daily life and increasingly being used in work, learning and hobbies. The Internet has already developed into a system for the public that is deeply related to each industry, and various services are provided by the Internet. For example, e-mail, search engine, net bank, online transaction, net advertisement, e-book, net magazine, net news, online game, etc.

At the time of the birth of personal computers, each personal computer was an independent stand-alone, and many people recognized these independent personal computers as a "solitary island." Therefore, many independent PCs were configured with a single network, but these networks eventually became the same “solitude island” as a single network, and there was no point in mutual information sharing or mutual service provision. Therefore, it is the Internet that connects these networks further to create a network of one network. With the development of the Internet, various service providers (primary service providing devices) are born and various services are provided. The main pattern of current Internet services is that some servers offer a variety of services, and the programs on these servers are specific to the user, such as providing services in hypertext. Developed to provide services. For example, for the various services listed above, the user makes a request to these servers, the server processes these requests, and sends a response back to the user who made the request, thereby providing the user with these servers You can use the service to do. FIG. 1 depicts this pattern. Of course, these servers can be dedicated servers, such as servers provided by specific content providers. It can also be a non-dedicated server, for example, a user shares content in his / her personal computer with other users, and the role of the user who provides the content is the service provider in the service .

As technology develops, more and more advanced technologies are being applied to the Internet. For example, it can provide users with wider bandwidth and even a wireless Internet connection, now it can access the Internet, send requests, and receive responses, even if the user is at a coffee shop, for example can do.

However, these patterns are only a kind of request → response pattern. As more and more types of services are based on the Internet, third parties have emerged that provide ancillary services rather than providing content services directly. For example, a search engine such as Google (registered trademark) can be used by users at www. Google. com and enter a keyword, which causes Google® to provide the user with an entrance to the web page associated with the keyword. In this service pattern, the search engine itself does not provide a content service, but the search engine uses the search mechanism to find the content provider that the user needs, thereby allowing the user to access the content provided by this service provider. Can do. However, such a pattern is still a request-to-response pattern, i.e. the user sends a request to the search engine, after which the search engine only provides a response message. Other sites such as www. 5566. When accessing net , all popular URLs are listed by category, and when a user clicks on one of the categories, the site names listed in this category can be viewed. The corresponding web page can be accessed through the hyperlink set in. However, this pattern also belongs to the category of request → response pattern.

In addition to the Internet, the user uses the request → response pattern service when using a personal computer. For example, when a user uses commercially available application program software such as document creation, spreadsheet, and chart creation, it can be considered that the user also sends a request to the application program of the application software. For example, for a request to open a document, the application program of the application software provides a response to the user based on the user's request, and opens and displays the document. In some cases, the user wants to highlight a specific object (for example, “asset management”) according to his / her preference, but this highlighting action is automatic for all documents. Is desirable, otherwise the user will need to perform at least one highlight operation per document, which is very cumbersome. Also, for example, when a user uses ERP software (integrated business software) customized by a company, this can also be considered as a kind of request → response pattern service. There is also a need to increase functionality and allow users to customize certain objects, thereby highlighting them.

However, if, for example, there is a desire to highlight objects that the user is interested in on the web page, the content provider needs to highlight these objects when creating these web pages. On the other hand, if these objects are different for another user, the content provider must fulfill all of these various requests in a request-> response pattern, which is impossible in practice. Work.

Therefore, whether it is based on the Internet service or not based on the Internet service, the content that is lacking in the current service can be compensated by providing a service according to each user's specific request through a third party. Can be satisfied.
In the application program, the following documents can be cited as highlighting necessary portions.

FIG. 1 is a step diagram of a third party service providing method by a third party according to a first embodiment of the present invention. First, as shown in step S1, the service requesting apparatus 1 transmits a request message to the third party service providing apparatus 3. Then, as shown in step S2, the third party service providing apparatus 3 processes this request message and generates a new request message. Then, as shown in step S <b> 3, the third party service providing apparatus 3 transmits this new request message to the primary service providing apparatus 2. Then, as shown in step S4, the primary service providing apparatus 2 provides a response message to the new request message, and transmits this response message to the third party service providing apparatus 3. Then, the third party service providing device 3 transmits this response message to the service requesting device 1. This ends one service process. Unlike the normal request-to-response service pattern, it can be seen that the process shown in FIG. 1 increases the number of steps for a third party to provide a service, creating a difference from the prior art.

  In step S2, the third-party service providing apparatus 3 can perform various processes on the original request message transmitted by the service requesting apparatus 1. For example, the original request message may be ambiguous, and if the primary service providing apparatus 2 performs processing based on the ambiguous request message, the service request apparatus 1 cannot obtain an accurate response message.

Therefore, the third party service providing apparatus 3 makes this request as accurate as possible based on the original request message. For example, when the primary service providing apparatus 2 is a search engine, a new request message is sent to the primary service providing apparatus 2. Send to. For example, if the primary service providing apparatus 2 is a content provider (for example, providing news) and the service requesting apparatus 1 has a desire to search for “news” related to “star”, the service request information (for example, in FIG. As shown, the third party service providing device 3 estimates that the service requesting device 1 is paying attention to “star” = “sports player” “news”, and the third party service providing device 3 "Sports player" and "News" are transmitted as new request messages.

  FIG. 2 is a step diagram of a third party service providing method by a third party according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Steps S1 ′, S2 ′, S3 ′, and S4 ′ in FIG. 2 are basically the same as Steps S1, S2, S3, and S4 in FIG. However, after step S4 ′, as shown in step S5 ′, the third-party service providing apparatus 3 performs a predetermined process on the response message and generates a new response message therefrom. Then, as shown in step S6 ′, the third party transmits this new response message to the service requesting apparatus 1.

  In step S5 ′ in FIG. 2, the third party service providing apparatus 3 can perform various processes on the original response message transmitted by the primary service providing apparatus 2. For example, the tag of the third party service providing apparatus 3 is added to the original response message so that the service requesting apparatus 1 knows that the response message is information processed by the third party. Also, for example, some current hot news is added so that the service requesting apparatus 1 obtains other information and can watch the news in a timely manner. A specific implementation method of step S5 ′ will be described in detail later.

  FIG. 3 is a step diagram of a third party service providing method by a third party according to a third embodiment of the present invention. Steps S1 ", S2", and S3 "in FIG. 3 are basically the same as Steps S1, S2, and S3 in FIG. 1. The difference is that step S3" as shown in step S4 ". Thereafter, the primary service providing device 2 provides a response message for the new request message, and the service requesting device 1 directly transmits the new response message to the service providing request device 1.

  There can be various implementation methods in the process of step S4 ″ in FIG. 3. For example, when the primary service providing apparatus 2 is an application program, the service requesting apparatus 1 transmits a request message to the third party service providing apparatus 3. At this time, the request message includes a tag (for example, an IP address or a handle name) related to the service requesting device 1, and the primary service providing device 2 can determine which subject has transmitted the request message by this tag. Therefore, in step S1 ″ of the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the request message transmitted by the service requesting apparatus 1 includes this tag, and in step S2 ″, the third party service providing apparatus 3 transmits the request message. This tag is included in the new request message when processing Then, after receiving the new request message in step S3 ″, the primary service providing apparatus 2 sends a response to the request message to the subject indicated by the direct tag, that is, the service requesting apparatus 1 in step S4 ″. Reply (see FIG. 12B).

In step S2 ″ of the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the third party service providing device 3 causes the IP address for the service requesting device 1 to be included in the new request message, from which the primary service providing device 2 In step S4 ″, a response to this request is sent back to the subject directly indicated by the tag, that is, the service requesting apparatus 1.

  Further, in step S1 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the request message transmitted from the service requesting apparatus 1 to the third party service providing apparatus 3 includes a tag. In step S2, when processing the request message, this tag Is replaced with the tag of the third party service providing apparatus 3, and in step S4, the service providing apparatus returns a response to this request to the third party service providing apparatus 3, and in step S5, the third party service providing is performed. The device 3 replaces the tag with a tag corresponding to the service requesting device 1, and finally transmits a new response message to the service requesting device 1.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart for processing a request message according to the first embodiment of the present invention to generate a new request message. First, step S501 is executed, and the third-party service providing apparatus 3 receives a request message for requesting provision of a service to the primary service providing apparatus 2 transmitted by the service requesting apparatus 1. In step S502, the third party service providing apparatus 3 processes the request message based on the first predetermined rule to obtain a processing result. Then, step S503 is executed, and the third party service providing apparatus 3 further processes the processing result to generate a new request message. In this embodiment, a new request message is generated in step S503 using a processing method described later. For example, an object (for example, object, voice information, etc.) can be added to the original request message to form a new request message.

  There are various implementations of the first predetermined rule. For example, in step S502 of FIG. 4, in this embodiment, the request history of the past service requesting apparatus 1 is statistically processed based on the Bayesian theory. This first predetermined rule includes extraction of an object from the request message, analysis of the object, acquisition of a similar object, and the like. The first predetermined rule can also send a request to a plurality of primary service providing apparatuses 2 and determine an object that is currently attracting general attention based on the request result.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart for processing a request message according to the first embodiment of the present invention to generate a new request message. Step 501 is the same as the embodiment shown in FIG. Step S502 ′ is executed, and the third party service providing apparatus 3 obtains the service request information of the service requesting apparatus 1. Then, step S503 ′ is executed, and the third party service providing apparatus 3 processes the request message based on the first predetermined rule and the service request information of the service requesting apparatus to obtain a processing result. In step S504 ′, the third party service providing apparatus 3 generates a new request message based on the processing result.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart for obtaining service request information according to the second embodiment of the present invention. First, step S541 is executed, and the third-party service providing apparatus 3 obtains a request message history of the service requesting apparatus 1. In step S542, the third-party service providing apparatus 3 obtains parameter information set by the service requesting apparatus 1. Finally, step S543 is executed, and the third party service providing apparatus 3 determines the service request information of this service requesting apparatus.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, in addition to the first predetermined rule, more accurate object information can be determined by further processing service request information by linking service request information. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the service request information is determined based on the history and parameter information.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart for processing a response message according to the second embodiment of the present invention to generate a new response message and transmitting the new response message. In step S521, the third party service providing apparatus 3 receives the response message transmitted by the primary service providing apparatus 2. Then, step S521 is executed, and the third party service providing apparatus 3 processes the response message based on the second predetermined rule to generate a new response message. In step S523, the third-party service providing apparatus 3 transmits a new response message to the service requesting apparatus 1. For example, the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 8 to 10 describe an example of the second predetermined rule.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart for processing the response message provided by the primary service providing apparatus 2 according to the embodiment shown in FIG. In this embodiment, after the third-party service providing apparatus 3 receives the response message, first, step S511 is executed to determine whether or not an object needs to be added to the response message, and it is necessary to add the object. Step S513 is executed. Conversely, if it is necessary to add an object to the response message, Step S512 is executed to add the corresponding object, and then Step S513 is executed. In step S513, it is determined whether or not some or all of the objects in the response message need to be corrected. If correction is not necessary, step S515 is executed, and the response message is corrected. If it is necessary, step S514 is executed to correct the corresponding object, and then step S515 is executed.

In step S515, it is determined whether or not some or all of the objects in the response message need to be deleted. If no part needs to be deleted, step S517 is executed. If it is necessary to delete part or all of the response message, step S516 is executed to delete the corresponding object, and then step S517 is executed. In step S517, it is determined whether or not an operation for making some or all the objects in the response message invisible is necessary, and if no part of the response message needs to be made invisible, processing is performed. When the process is ended and, on the contrary, an operation for making part or all of the response message invisible is necessary, step S518 is executed to make the corresponding object invisible and the processing process is ended. The order of each step (for example, step 511, step 512 and step 515, step 516) can be changed.

  Each step of the embodiment shown in FIG. 8 has various realization methods. For example, in step S513, when a certain object exists, for example, if it is a keyword, correction based on this keyword is performed. FIG. 12A and FIG. 12B show the results of the implementation, and the characters “examination guidelines” are displayed in an enlarged and highlighted manner. As another example, deletion processing based on the type of object, for example, all moving image information is deleted. In another modification, it is determined whether or not there are two separators (control codes) between two paragraph characters, and if there are no separators or less than two separators, a separator is added between them. To be two separators.

  FIG. 9 is a specific flowchart of steps for adding more objects in the embodiment shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, the expression form of the new object, such as what new object is added and in what position is determined. First, step S531 is executed, and the third-party service providing apparatus 3 determines a new object. There may be one or several new objects in the response message. The object to be added is one new object, and if a new object exists in the response message, the first new object is designated. Next, the process proceeds to step S532, where it is determined whether or not a new object exists. If there is no new object, the processing process is terminated. If it exists, step S533 is executed. In step S533, the position to be added is determined. Next, in step S534, the expression format to which this new object is added is determined. Next, step S535 is executed, and this new object is added in the expression format determined at the position. Finally, step S536 is executed, the next new object is designated, and step S532 is repeated.

In step S533 of FIG. 9, the position can be determined by various methods. For example, the next position of the confirmed key object (for example, keyword) is uniformly confirmed as a position where a new object is added. For example, if the original text is “Afghanistan”, after adding a new object, “Afghanistan (the French diplomatic director has declared that Bin Laden is still alive )” is displayed. As another modification, to confirm the position to insert the third party icon between objects, after adding the object, to display a form such as "A ^icon Afghanistan". Similarly, there are various realization methods in step S534, for example, the added object is set as a hyperlink, the expression format is displayed in blue font, or “bold, italic” is displayed.

  The order of step S533 and step S534 does not affect the contents of the present invention and can be adjusted as necessary. Further, the order of step S536 and step S532 does not affect the contents of the present invention and can be realized in various orders.

  FIG. 10 is a specific flowchart of steps for determining a new object according to the embodiment shown in FIG. First, step S551 is executed, and the third party service providing apparatus 3 analyzes the response message provided by the primary service providing apparatus 2. In step S552, the third-party service providing apparatus 3 analyzes the request message history of the service requesting apparatus 1. Next, step S553 is executed, and the third party service providing apparatus 3 analyzes the parameter information set by the service requesting apparatus 1. Finally, step S554 is executed, and the third party service providing apparatus 3 generates a new object. Steps S552 and S553 can be realized by the description of the embodiment shown in FIG.

  In the present embodiment shown in FIG. 10, if step S552 is executed, the service requesting apparatus 1 can make a relatively accurate determination on a problem that has recently been noticed, and the service requesting apparatus 1 More accurate information and more intriguing services can be provided.

For example, in the past 50 click operations, when the service requesting device 1 has clicked on the object “asset management” most frequently, the service requesting device 1 is interested in information related to “asset management”. it is conceivable that. For this reason, the third-party service providing apparatus 3 estimates and sets the object “assets management” as the object that the service requesting apparatus 1 is most interested in. As other variations, the top three most frequently appearing titles in the documents recently viewed by the service request device 1 in the latest Word application program are “patent”, “intangible asset”, and “mortgage”. In this case, the service requesting apparatus 1 sets these three as objects. Furthermore, since it can be estimated from these three objects that there is a desire to know more about problems related to patent evaluation and patent mortgage, the service requesting apparatus 1 further includes “collateral”, “evaluation”, and “evaluation mechanism”. , “Patents”, “trademarks”, “copyrights”, “domain names”, etc. can be expanded into objects. The past operation history can be estimated as an object to be noticed by the user by analyzing a tag accompanied by not only the character information but also image information and audio information.

  In FIG. 10, in step S554, the content that the user pays attention to can be selected and determined in advance. For example, the user (service requesting apparatus 1) can set items one by one by the “category” → “object” method according to the setting options provided by the third party service providing apparatus 3. Further, for example, an object can be directly determined and provided to the third party service providing apparatus 3.

  According to FIG. 10, in step S554, the content that the user pays attention to can be selected and confirmed in advance. For example, the user (service requesting apparatus 1) can set items one by one by the “category” → “object” method according to the setting options provided by the third party service providing apparatus 3. Further, for example, an object can be directly determined and provided to the third party service providing apparatus 3.

  Further, as a modification of the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, step S522 can be processed based on the second predetermined rule and service request information. As a rule of the second regulation, for example, text information included in information transmitted from the primary service providing apparatus 2 is searched in full text, matched with service request information, etc., and an object is highlighted. Further, the service request information may be the same as or different from the “service request information” in FIG. Further, the request message history and parameter information shown in FIG. 10 are part of the service request information, but may include other contents.

In this embodiment, there is a problem of how to determine the object. An object can have various contents, for example, any combination of character information, format information, control code information, hyperlink information, still image information, moving image information, audio information, and video information. The method for determining the object can be realized by various means. For example, when the object is static and is set in the database of the third-party service providing apparatus 3, the process is directly selected from this database.

Another variation is that the object is dynamic, for example by examining the object from multiple data sources, classifying these objects, and replacing the underutilized object with the latest object to move the object. Can be changed. For example, the top 20 news of each news site (e.g. set to 10 sites) can be analyzed, the object in it can be the latest object, and the current hot news can be reflected in the object.

FIG. 12A shows the result of opening a document by the Word application program of Microsoft Corporation (registered trademark). This is the result of no third-party processing, in which all the characters are displayed in the format of “楷体 -GB”, “五号 (11)” (Chinese standard).

  In FIG. 12B, the result of opening the document by the Word application program again after activating the service provided by the third-party service providing apparatus 3 is displayed. There, the four letters “Examination Guidelines” are marked up in red, the font size is “No. 3 (16)” (Chinese standard), “Bold, italic”, and “Highlighting prompt” are used. . In this way, the service requesting device 1 (i.e. the user using this Word application program) can specifically examine this object and can specifically examine the context before and after that.

  The example shown in FIG. 12B is just one example of modifying the response message, and various examples may be changed depending on different settings of the service request apparatus 1 or other information (for example, service request history of the service request apparatus 1). Can be made. For example, if an object contains not only “examination guidelines” but also “computer software”, this user may have focused on the provisions relating to “computer software” in “examination guidelines”. Recognize. Also, for example, an object may include both “computer software” and “computer program”, which is a synonym (ie, “computer program”) for an object (ie, “computer software”) that is automatically identified by a third party. Can be based. The highlighted format after the correction can be changed in various ways, but the description is omitted here.

  The embodiment shown in FIG. 12B shows an example realized by the steps shown in FIG. In other words, the third-party service providing apparatus 3 processes the request (open document by Word) message of the service request apparatus 1 (user), and opens a new request message (opens the document by Word, with respect to some of the objects therein. The third party service providing apparatus 3 sends a new request message to the primary service providing apparatus 2 (Word application program), and the primary service providing apparatus 2 directly sends a response message (this message) to the service requesting apparatus 1 Send document).

FIG. 12 is a schematic system configuration diagram of a third party service providing apparatus according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. The third party service providing device that provides the third party service includes a service requesting device 1, a primary service providing device 2, and a third party service providing device 3.

In the present embodiment, the service requesting apparatus 1 transmits a request message for requesting that the primary service providing apparatus 2 provides a service to the third party service providing apparatus 3 via the Internet, and the third party service providing apparatus 3 The service providing device 6 processes the request message, generates a new request message, and sends a new request to the primary service providing device 2.
