Description

  The present invention relates to a blog update system related to status change information, a status change information storage system, a status change information transmission system, a method thereof, and a program thereof.

  A blog is a word that omits a web log, and is a website centered on a dated article page. Sites that can link to each article, can be commented on each article, and have new articles always displayed at the top are often called blogs.

  In conventional websites, it was necessary to create pages one page at a time using an HTML editor, etc. On blogs, there are many tools and services that allow you to create pages simply by entering text. It is possible to create and update pages.

  It also has features such as the design of article pages and table of contents pages, the ability to easily change the appearance, and the ability to automatically categorize and display articles by category or month. The blog began to spread around the United States around 2000, and it became popular rapidly because it was able to give opinions while introducing news and events on the Internet and to be able to post while referring to other blog articles.

  On the other hand, a messenger is also called an instant messenger, and is communication software that allows a specific person to communicate with characters on a personal computer through a network. This has a similar function to e-mail, but differs greatly from e-mail in the following points.

  In the case of an electronic mail, the mail is temporarily stored in the provider's computer (called a mail server) after transmission. Then, the other party receives mail from the mail server. However, even though “the other party receives mail from the mail server”, it does not always receive mail every day. Even if it is sent today, the other party sees it for a few minutes, and in the worst case, a few days later.

  On the other hand, in the case of e-mail, in addition to using it as a communication or information transmission means with the other party, as a memorandum, for example, a schedule or memo is described in the body of the e-mail, and the e-mail address is stored. There is a usage method of sending. By looking at the e-mail sent by you, you can avoid forgetting.

  On the other hand, the messenger can check whether or not the personal computer to which the message is sent is online. If the other party is online, when you send a message, that message is displayed on the other party's computer instantly. This is the biggest feature of messenger.

  You can also chat using the messenger function. However, in terms of "you can check the status of the other party and confirm that you can immediately receive a message and that you can get an immediate response from the other party (or expect)" Different from chat. You can check the status of the other party because the messenger has a function to show your status called status. Furthermore, the messenger is not limited to communication by text message, but communication by voice is also possible.

Traditionally, blogs and messengers have each attracted attention for their usefulness. For this reason, using the category information that classifies the entries that the weblog server has and the acquaintance information, we extract the human network that mutually evaluates the target knowledge and maintains a certain level of trust, and the web log belonging to this human network There is a proposal to acquire highly reliable knowledge from content (see Patent Document 1).
However, there are no systems that take advantage of blogs and messengers.

The article part displayed below it was added after the title was posted. A number of articles on related topics (“World Health Organization (WHO) Material No. 263, Electromagnetic Field, Public Health, Ultra Low Frequency and Cancer” and below) have been posted, starting with the article.

  Returning to FIG. 2, in the messenger server 70, when content is next transmitted from the client terminal 10 x to the blog server 80, the content is received by the receiving means 82 of the blog server 80. The blog server 80 stores the status change information in the blog database by the blog storage unit 80a together with the time information included in the content (S180).

  Here, FIG. 5 shows an example of the case where the blog stored in the blog server 80 is displayed when the content is stored in the blog database of the blog server 80. Compared with the blog of FIG. 4 described above, a photo as a content is posted on the blog together with a shooting date and time of a photo as time information included in the content. This can be realized by the client terminal 10x transmitting the photo to the blog server 80 and storing the photo in the blog database together with the shooting date and time the photo has as the photo property.

  In the example of FIG. 5, the time information “2006-07-26 15:00”, the status change information “I think it reflects electromagnetic waves”, and the URL link information attached to the status change information Under the article in which “and” are posted, a photograph of the title “a135.jpg” having time information of “2006-07-26 14:58” is posted. As a result, the user can later display his / her blog and add supplemental content as necessary. Therefore, in combination with the status of the messenger, an effect of updating the blog by the user can be expected.

  As described above, it is possible to provide a blog update system using a messenger that combines the advantages of the static nature of blog recording and the dynamic nature of messenger in real time. Thus, it is expected that the blog update is activated by reprinting the status information on the blog. Blogs are intended to record diary-like electronic files, but tend to be neglected to keep up with the busy schedule. The diary can be semi-automatically completed by automatically reprinting and storing the status information. In addition, the content can be reprinted on the blog so that the blog can be created more efficiently.

[Second Embodiment]
In the second embodiment, only the messenger server 170 is intended to have the same effect as the above-described invention. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an outline of the status change information storage system 2 which is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a processing flow of the status change information storage system 2 of the present invention. FIG. 8 is a display example on the client terminal of the status change information storage system 2. The present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the status change information storage system 2 of the present invention includes one or more client terminals (10a,..., 10x,..., 10y, hereinafter 10x), a messenger server 170, Are mutually connected by a communication line 50.

  In the messenger server 170, receiving means 172 for receiving status change information transmitted from the client terminal 10x, user identifying means 174 for identifying the user who has received the status change information, and status change information for the identified user are received. The storage unit 170a that stores the time change information as the status change information history, and the user identified from the stored status change information history may allow a licensed user (a user who is registering as a friend) to browse. Selection means 176 for selecting an object and browsing means 178 for enabling browsing of the selected status change information history are provided.

  Next, the processing flow of the status change information storage system 2 will be described according to the flow of FIG. When status change information is transmitted from the client terminal 10 x to the messenger server 170, the status change information is received by the receiving means 172 of the messenger server 170. At this time, the user who transmitted the status change information from the client terminal 10x is identified based on the login information. The received status change information is stored in the storage unit 170a (S220).

  Whether or not the stored status change information history is transmitted to the client terminal 10x (identified user) at an arbitrary timing and can be viewed by a licensed user (a user who performs so-called “friend registration”). An inquiry is made (S230). The selecting means 176 selects whether or not the user who has identified the displayed information can be viewed by the licensed user. Thus, the selected selection status change information history is stored in the storage means 170a (S240).

  Thereafter, when there is a request for browsing from the client terminal 10y as another user, the selection status change information history can be browsed by the browsing means 178 (S260). An example of this browsing will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in the upper diagram of FIG. 8, when the messenger is opened, Mr. BBB, Mr. CCC, and Mr. DDD who are so-called “friend registration” are displayed. Place the cursor on DDD who wants to see the status from the displayed “friends” and select the status to request browsing of the past status list (the lower left figure in FIG. 8). The status set by DDD on that day Is displayed (the lower right diagram in FIG. 8). From the displayed status list screen, it is also possible to view the history of status set by DDD on a day other than the current day by placing the cursor on and select "View status on other days" It is.

  In the example of FIG. 8, when viewing the status list of 2006.7.1, “AM10: 30” will be “So do not say”, “AM11: 30” “Sauna state”, “AM12: 10” It can be seen that the status of “regret” was set in “5 seconds before heat stroke” and “AM15: 30”. From now on, I can read the situation that DDD was getting hotter and harder because he didn't use a cooler in the hot summer.

  In the example of FIG. 8, the time information is displayed together with the status information. However, the time information may be displayed as a rule for arranging the status information without displaying the time information.

  As described above, by providing similar means to the messenger server 170, it is possible to expect the same effect as described in the first embodiment.

[Third embodiment]
In the third embodiment, status update information is sent as a message to a posting server for posting. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an outline of the status change information transmission system 3 which is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a processing flow of the status change information transmission system 3 of the present invention. FIG. 11 shows the contents of the status table. FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of a posting page. Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 12.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the status change information transmission system 3 of the present invention includes one or more client terminals (10a,..., 10x,..., 10y, hereinafter 10x), a messenger server 270, The posting server 290 is connected to each other via the communication line 50.

  The messenger server 270 includes a receiving unit 272 that receives the status change information transmitted from the client terminal 10x, a determination unit 275 that determines whether or not to transmit the status change information to the posting server, and the status change information. Transmitting means 279 for transmitting the information to the posting server 290. The messenger server 270 is connected to storage means 270a.

  The posting server 290 receives the status change information and the user information transmitted from the messenger server 270, the receiving means 292, and the posted message is posted as a user message based on the received status information based on the user information. Writing means 294 for writing on a Web page. The posting server 290 is connected to a Web page storage unit 290a that stores Web pages that are posted articles.

  Next, the processing flow of the status change information transmission system 3 will be described according to the flow of FIG. First, the client terminal 10x determines whether the status has been updated (S310). As described above with reference to FIG. 3, the status can be changed (updated) by the user operating the client terminal 10x. When the status is changed (S310: Y), status change information is transmitted to the messenger server 270. If the status has not been changed (S130: N), the client terminal 10x determines whether or not the input from the keyboard provided in the client terminal is at a predetermined speed (S320).

  The input speed from the keyboard is determined by, for example, the number of input characters from the keyboard per unit time. When the speed is a predetermined speed (S320: Y), the client terminal 10x changes the status (S330), and the status change information is transmitted to the messenger server 270. If the speed is not the predetermined speed (S320: N), the client terminal 10x returns the process to the first (S310).

  Here, FIG. 11 shows a status table. This status table is downloaded from the messenger server 270 to the client terminal 10x when the messenger function is used in the client terminal 10x. For example, if there is no input from the keyboard within a predetermined unit time, the status information is changed to the content of “super time”.

  Returning to FIG. 10, the messenger server 270 determines whether status change information is received from the client terminal 10x (S340). When the message is received by the receiving means 272 (S340: Y), the messenger server 270 determines whether or not it can be posted as a posted article by the determining means 275 (S350). When posting as a posted article is possible (S350: Y), the messenger server 270 transmits status change information to the posting server 290. On the other hand, when the status change information is not received from the client terminal 10x (S340: N) or when posting as a posted article is not possible (S350: N), the messenger server 270 ends this processing. .

  Next, it is determined whether or not the posting server 290 has received the status change information transmitted from the messenger server 270 (S370). When the message is received by the receiving unit 292 (S370: Y), the posting server 290 writes the status change information as a message on the Web page by the writing unit 294 (S380). On the other hand, when the status change information has not been received (S370: N), the posting server 290 ends this process.

  FIG. 12 shows an example of a case where a Web page stored in the Web page storage unit 290a of the posting server 290 is displayed on the client terminal 10x as a posted article. This is because the client terminal 10x automatically changes the status information to “very busy” when the user “taropapa” who is the user of the client terminal 10x is typing in quickly from the keyboard at the client terminal 10x. Indicates. In the top post message, the words “Super Busy” and a very busy and sweating emoji are posted. This posted article can be used in various ways, such as when another user responds or a third party views the posted article. Therefore, it is possible to post to a Web page by a messenger using the function of transmitting the messenger's own situation using the messenger.
