In particular, in this embodiment, an information acquisition button 11 (predetermined operation button), which is a button that can acquire content information via the network with a single press (one push) as described later, is formed on the operation unit 10. Yes. The information acquisition button 11 may be provided at any place on the mobile phone 1.

  In addition, a predetermined program is incorporated in the arithmetic device such as the CPU of the mobile phone 10 so that the operation reception processing unit 12, the position information acquisition processing unit 13, the information request processing unit 14, and the like, as shown in FIG. An information reception processing unit 15 and a display processing unit 16 are constructed.

  The operation reception processing unit 12 detects that the above-described information acquisition button 11 is pressed (one push), and notifies the position information acquisition processing unit 13 or the information request processing unit 14 to that effect. For example, when it is detected that the information acquisition button 11 is pressed when the standby screen of the mobile phone 1 is displayed, the position information acquisition processing unit 13 is notified of this. Further, as will be described later, the content information transmitted from the information providing server 2 is displayed on the display unit, and when it is detected that the information acquisition button 11 is pressed while specific content information is selected, the specific information is detected. The information request processing unit 14 is notified of information indicating that the content information has been selected.

  Further, when the position information acquisition processing unit 13 receives a notification that the information acquisition button 11 has been pressed from the operation reception processing unit 12 as described above, the position information acquisition processing unit 13 acquires its own position information via the mounted GPS antenna. Alternatively, it communicates with the base station to acquire its own location information and notifies the information request processing unit 14 of it.

  As described above, the information request processing unit 14 (user information transmission means) receives the position information notified from the position information acquisition processing unit 13 and the user-specific information stored in advance when the information acquisition button 11 is pressed. The user ID, which is identification information, is transmitted to the information providing server 2 to request information provision. Further, when the information request processing unit 14 receives a notification that the specific content information has been selected by pressing the information acquisition button 11 from the operation reception processing unit 12 as described above, the details of the selected content information are displayed. Is notified to the information providing server 2. At this time, information specifying the selected content is accumulated in the information providing server 2 as user access tendency information. Furthermore, the information request processing unit 14 operates to request content information via the information providing server 2 even when browsing a normal website. Also in this case, the website browsing tendency by the user is accumulated in the information providing server 2.

  As described above, when the information request processing unit 14 requests the information providing server 2 to provide information, the information receiving processing unit 15 receives the content information transmitted from the information providing server 2 thereafter. As will be described later, this content information includes the type of content information according to the browsing tendency of the user U's website so far, the position and time when requested, and for each type of content information (category Every). Further, when the information reception processing unit 15 selects content information and further requests the information providing server 2, the information reception processing unit 15 receives detailed content information from the web server 3 that establishes the website that is the transmission source.

  The display processing unit 16 displays the content information from the information providing server 2 received by the information reception processing unit 15 or the detailed content information of the website directly received from the web server 3 on the display unit.

  Next, the configuration of the information providing server 2 will be described with reference to FIG. The information providing server 2 is a general server computer, and a user information reception processing unit 21, an information filtering processing unit 22, a sort processing unit 23, and the like are installed in an arithmetic device such as a CPU by incorporating a predetermined program. An information acquisition processing unit 24, an information provision processing unit 25, and an information request reception processing unit 26 are constructed. A category database 27 and a user database 28 are constructed in a storage device such as a hard disk drive. Hereinafter, the processing units 21 to 26 and the databases 27 and 28 will be described.

  First, the category database 27 (category information storage means) stores category information indicating the type of content information set in advance. Examples of category information include: • Weather forecast (weather's current location weather, weekly weather) • Today ’s news (topics with high importance in topic format) • Timetable (timetable closest to the nearest station)・ Station information (time to nearby stations) ・ Last train information ・ Stock information (Nikkei average, stock price information held by the person) ・ Restaurant information (neighborhood information of the user's current location),・ One-point advice tips information ・ TV program information ・ Movie release information ・ Web mail, ・ SNS ・ Web schedule book ・ General site (displays general site topics) ・ Emergency call Information is stored.

  The user database 28 (access history information storage means) stores access trend information (access history information) that represents the browsing status of the website for each user. That is, the user's access tendency to the website is stored in association with the user ID that is identification information for specifying the user. This access trend information includes, for example, access frequency, access tendency for each day of the week (access frequency / frequency for each day of the week is low but there is access at a fixed time every week), and access tendency for each time zone (time) The frequency of access / frequency for each band is low, but there is access at a fixed time every day, etc.), ・ Site stay time, ・ Visit frequency according to genre of visited site, etc. For example, when the user accesses the website with the mobile phone 1, the access history information can be obtained by setting the access history information to always pass through the information providing server 2. Specifically, the above-described mobile phone 1 always makes a request to the information providing server 2 at the information request processing unit 14 when requesting browsing of the website. Then, the information request reception processing unit 26 of the information providing server 2 notifies the web server 3 that has received the browsing request to provide the content information, and the category of the access site (( A function of recognizing (genre), generating access tendency information as described above based on this, and accumulating it for each user.

  Next, the user information reception processing unit 21 (user information acquisition means) obtains the user ID and position information transmitted from the mobile phone 11 when the information acquisition button 11 of the mobile phone 1 is pressed as described above. Receive and notify the information filtering processor 22. Further, the user information reception processing unit 21 acquires time information when the user ID and the position information are acquired from the mobile phone 1 from an NTP server or the like, and notifies the information filtering processing unit 22 of the time information.

  Based on the received user ID, the information filtering processing unit 22 searches and reads out user access tendency information corresponding to the user ID from the user database 28. Then, as described above, based on the location information received from the mobile phone 1, the time information when this location information is received, and the user's access tendency information corresponding to the user ID, It has a function for selecting category information (category selection means). That is, it narrows down to the category relevant to the said positional information, time information, and access tendency information.

  In addition, the sort processing unit 22 (priority determination means) has a function of determining the priority for determining the order of the selected category information based on the position information, time information, and access tendency information as described above. That is, the order of the selected category information is rearranged in order to provide category information that is highly relevant to the user's position, time, and access tendency so that it can be browsed preferentially.

  Then, the information acquisition processing unit 24 (content acquisition means) accesses the web server 3 that establishes a website included in the category of the selected and sorted category information, acquires the content information, and acquires each category. As content information. In this way, the information providing server 2 collects content from the web server 3 on the Internet N2 (content collecting means).

  Then, the information provision processing unit 25 (content transmission unit) transmits the content information collected from the web server 3 to the mobile phone 1 as described above. At this time, the content information is transmitted to the mobile phone 1 so that the content information of each category is displayed on the mobile phone 1 in the order selected and sorted as described above.

  In addition, the information request reception processing unit 26 (access information acquisition unit) performs the cellular phone 1 in a state in which any content information is selected to request more detailed information from the content information transmitted as described above. When the information acquisition button 11 is pressed, information for requesting more detailed information of the content information is received and stored in the user database 28 as the access tendency information of the user. Then, the web server 3 is instructed to provide content information. Thereby, for example, the content information provided from the information provision processing unit 25 includes only a part of the information provided from the website, but then the user accesses the official website of the website. More detailed information.

  The information providing server 2 is configured to perform the above processing without depending on the model of the mobile phone 1.

[Operation]
Next, the operation of the information providing system having the above configuration will be described with reference to the sequence diagrams of FIGS. 5 to 6 and the operation explanatory diagram of FIG.

  First, the user U presses the information acquisition button 11 of the mobile phone 1 once (one push) when information is required (step S1). By this pressing, the “location information” at that time is acquired by using the mobile phone 1 using GPS or the like (step S2), the location information and the user ID are transmitted to the information providing server 2, and an information request is made (step S2). S3).

  Then, when the information providing server 2 receives the information request including the position information and the user ID (step S4, user information acquisition step), the time information when received based on the time synchronized with the NTP server 4 (Step S5), and recognizes the time when the user U exists at the position based on the received position information. Further, based on the received user ID, the access tendency information of the user is read from the user database 28 (step S6).

  Thereafter, the category information in the category database is read out, filtered by the time information, the position information, and the access tendency information, and a category suitable for each information is extracted and selected (step S8, category selection step). For example, as shown in FIG. 7, first, filtering is performed from all category information SA1 in the category database based on time information (symbol SA2: “news” related to all times at daytime, for example). And filtering based on location information (symbol SA3: for example, discard categories related to areas not related to location information), and finally, access trend information Filter based on (reference number SA4: for example, narrow down to leave categories of sites that the user U often visits). However, the category selection order is not limited to the order described above.

  Further, the categories narrowed down as described above are compared with the access tendency information and sorted in the order of the categories that the user is likely to need based on the access tendency of the user (step S9, symbol SA5 in FIG. 7, priority). Degree determination step). For example, this sort is determined in consideration of not only access frequency but also access tendency for each day of the week, and multifaceted access tendency information such as access that is infrequent but at a fixed time every day.

  Subsequently, in order to collect the content information related to each sorted category, the information providing server 2 accesses the various web servers 3 that have established websites on the Internet N2 and acquires the content information (steps). S10, content acquisition step, content collection step). Then, the collected content information is transmitted from the information providing server 2 to the mobile phone 1 (step S11, content transmission step). At this time, as described above, since the content information is transmitted so as to be displayed in the sorted category order, the sorted category is displayed on the screen of the mobile phone 1, for example, as shown by reference numeral SA6 in FIG. In order, the content information belonging to each category is displayed (step S12). Note that the above-described category sorting may be performed before content information is acquired and transmitted to the mobile phone 1.

  However, the content information displayed on the mobile phone 1 is a part of information published from the website, that is, digest information of each category. Therefore, FIG. 6 shows an operation when the user U obtains more detailed information.

  When the user U needs more detailed official site level information about the displayed information, the user U again selects the information acquisition button 11 with the category or content displayed by the up and down buttons selected, for example. Is one-pushed, an access request to each official site is transmitted to the information providing server 2 (step S13). Then, the information providing server 2 accepts the request (step S14), and notifies the web server 3 that has established the requested official site that the information request has been made (step S15). Based on this request, the access tendency information of the user U is added (step S16). Thereby, the access tendency of the user who operates the mobile phone 1 is further accumulated, and thereafter, the category filtering and sorting more suitable for the user are executed. The web server 3 that has received the request transmits the requested site information directly to the mobile phone 1 (step S17). Thereby, the user U can display and browse detailed information of each category on the mobile phone 1 (step S18).

  Here, FIG. 8 compares the operations until the user reaches the target content information in the above-described present invention and the conventional example.

  First, the conventional example (1) is a method of searching by tracking a category from the carrier portal site (upper side of the conventional example (1)). In the case of this method, the target information is narrowed down by following a link from a large category. Therefore, depending on the number of links to be traced, several to dozens of operations are required to reach the target information. Further, as a result of tracing the category, target information is not always obtained. Further, in the conventional example (1), there is a method using a search engine (lower side of the conventional example (1)). In this case, it is necessary to input a search word first. Next, it accesses the site where the target information can be obtained from the search result, and reaches the target information. Also in this case, several to several tens of operations are required from the input to the result display, and the target information as a result of tracing the category is not always obtained. In the conventional example (2), a My Page provided by a favorite or a search site is used. In this case, in practice, several operations are required until the favorite / my page is opened.

  On the other hand, in the present invention, as described above, the minimum necessary information can be obtained by one push operation. If you need more detailed information, you can access the official site by one-pushing the displayed category. That is, the operation and time until the target information is obtained is greatly reduced. That is, time reduction can be realized by subtracting c time from a time or b time shown in FIG.

  As described above, according to the present invention, content information based on the browsing status of the website so far is provided only by a simple operation such as pressing a button, so that the user can easily and quickly browse necessary information. Can do. At this time, since the content provided by referring to the current position and current time of the user, and more detailed access tendency information is automatically collected, information required for the user is provided, The convenience can be further improved.
