  As described above, according to the present invention, there is an effect that the personal history production can be supported so that the personal history production can be performed without impairing the pleasure of description.

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

  In the present embodiment, a case where the personal history production apparatus of the present invention is applied to a personal history production system that provides a personal history production site as one of the contents of a SNS (Social Network Service) type website will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a personal history production system 30 according to the present embodiment includes a web server 10 as a personal history production device that provides a personal history production site as content on the web, and content display and personal history. The web server 10 and the client PC 12 are connected to each other via a network 14 such as the Internet. Further, a publisher server 16 and a store server 18 are also connected to the network 14 to publish an analog book that has been printed and bound through the web server 10 or to produce a personal history that will be described later. You can purchase products related to the chronology of the site.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the web server 10. The web server 10 is used as a ROM 20 as a storage medium in which various programs such as processing routines for personal history creation described later, parameters, and the like are stored, a CPU 22 that executes various programs, a work area when the CPU 22 executes various programs, and the like. RAM 24, current information, trend information, HDD 26 as storage means for storing questions, a network interface 28 for connecting to the network 14, and a bus BUS for connecting them to each other. The HDD 26 may be provided in an external device such as a server connected to the network 14.

  With reference to FIG. 3 to FIG. 5, the processing routine of the personal history production according to the present embodiment will be described.

  In step 100, it is determined whether or not the user has logged into the SNS type website. When a predetermined user ID and password input on the login screen displayed on the client PC 12 are received, authentication is performed by comparing with an authentication table consisting of the user ID and password stored in the HDD 26, and the authentication is successful Is affirmed and proceeds to step 102. If the user ID or the like is not received, the process waits until it is received. If the authentication fails, the process is repeated until it succeeds.

  In step 102, it is determined whether or not the personal history production content is selected by determining whether or not a signal for selecting personal history production content is received from the website. If it is selected, the process proceeds to step 104. If it is not selected, the process proceeds to step 122.

  In step 104, data for displaying a screen for inputting a target date for describing the personal history is transmitted to the client PC 12 as an initial screen of the personal history production content, and the input screen is displayed on the client PC 12.

  Next, in step 106, it is determined whether or not a signal indicating the target date input from the input screen of the client PC 12 has been received. If the user inputs a target date on the initial screen and receives a signal indicating the target date transmitted from the client PC 12 by clicking a confirmation button or the like, the process proceeds to step 108, and if not received, the process proceeds to step 120.

  In step 108, the date of birth corresponding to the user ID at the time of login is acquired with reference to the date of birth table consisting of the user ID and date of birth stored in the HDD 26. The date of birth is registered along with other requirements when logging in for the first time.

  Next, the process proceeds to step 110, where a question item search process for searching for a question item for supporting the user's own history description is executed.

  FIG. 4 shows a flowchart of a processing routine of the question item search process.

  In step 200, the age of the user on the target date is calculated from the received target date and the acquired date of birth, and in the next step 202, the age and status as shown in FIG. The situation corresponding to the calculated age is estimated by referring to the question table including the question number and the question. The situation is classified according to age, such as “before entering elementary school” for 0-5 years old, “elementary school” for 6-12 years old, “junior high school” for 13-15 years old, and the like.

  Next, the process proceeds to step 204, and a question corresponding to the estimated situation is searched with reference to the question table. For example, if the situation is “elementary school”, there are multiple questions corresponding to the situation, such as “What kind of teacher was the elementary school teacher?” And “What kind of friends did you have at elementary school?” Yes. A serial number from Q1 to Qn is assigned to the retrieved question and is stored in the RAM 24, and the process is terminated and the process returns.

  Next, the process proceeds to step 112 in FIG. 3 to execute a chronological table generation process for generating a chronological table for reference when describing the personal history.

  FIG. 6 shows a flowchart of the processing routine of the chronological table generation process.

  In step 300, referring to the current information table including the current date and current information stored in the HDD 26, current information within a predetermined period including the target date, for example, one to two years before and after the target date, is extracted. A table in which current information extracted in the next step 302 is associated with the date is generated.

  Next, in step 304, the trend information within the predetermined period including the target date is extracted with reference to the trend information table including the date and the trend information stored in the HDD 26. Since it may be difficult to identify the trend information until the date, it may be possible to extract information that matches the year of the target date and the year of the trend information table.

  Next, in step 306, the extracted trend information is classified according to fields such as music, fashion, television, and books, and in the next step 308, the trend information classified for each field is associated with the date. Generate a table and return. The tables generated in step 302 and step 308 are collectively referred to as a chronological table.

  Next, the process proceeds to step 114 in FIG. 3, the question items searched in step 110 and the chronology generated in step 112 are transmitted to the client PC 12 and displayed on the same screen of the client PC 12. FIG. 7 shows an example of a display screen for personal history description displayed on the client PC 12. The display screen includes a Q & A area 32 for displaying a question and answer input text box 46, a current information area 34 for displaying current information, a trend information area 36 for displaying trend information, a target date, and a digital book to be described later. And an instruction input area 38 for displaying a button for instructing creation.

  In the Q & A area 32, the searched question serial number 40, the question 42, the answer number 44 assigned to the question serial number, and the answer input text box 46 are displayed adjacently. In the current affairs information area 34, current affairs information is displayed in order of year, month, day, and not only text data but also still images such as photographs and illustrations and moving images such as news videos are displayed. In the trend information area 36, trend information is displayed for each field. Similar to current information, still images and moving images are also displayed.

  The user inputs an answer to the question corresponding to the age in the text box 46 of the Q & A area 32 while referring to the information displayed in the current information area 34 and the trend information area 36. In addition, links are set to text or image parts such as music titles and fashion product names displayed in the trend information area 36, and music can be downloaded with reference to related sites by clicking on the corresponding parts. Or purchase products.

  Next, the routine proceeds to step 116, where it is determined whether an answer to the question has been received. When the user clicks the digital book creation button 48 in the instruction input area 38 of the display screen shown in FIG. 7, data in which the answer number is associated with the answer input in the text box 46 is transmitted to the web server 10. Is done. The web server 10 receives data in which the answer number and the answers A1 to An are associated with each other. If it has been received, the process proceeds to step 118 to execute processing for creating a digital book. If not, wait until it is received. When the clear button 50 in the instruction input area 38 is pressed, the content input in the text box 46 is cleared.

  FIG. 8 shows a flowchart of a processing routine for creating a digital book.

  In step 400, the counter value t is set to “1”, and the process proceeds to the next step 402, where the question with the serial number n = t of the question, that is, the question number of the question Q1 is acquired from the RAM 24. In the next step 404, the situation corresponding to the obtained question number is acquired with reference to the question table of FIG.

  Next, proceeding to step 406, the answer A1 corresponding to the question Q1 is inserted into a predetermined location corresponding to the situation corresponding to the question in the format of the digital book. As shown in FIG. 9, the format of the digital book is classified into items for each situation, and an answer insertion area 56 for inserting answers corresponding to the situation is provided. For example, when the question number of the question Q1 is “4” and the situation corresponds to “Before entering elementary school”, the answer A1 is inserted into the answer insertion area 56A of the item before entering elementary school in the format. When the question number of the question Q1 is “21” and the situation corresponds to “elementary school”, the answer A1 is inserted into the answer insertion area 56B of the elementary school item in the format. When there are a plurality of answers classified into the same situation, they are inserted in order of the question numbers of the questions corresponding to the answers.

  Depending on the contents of the question, a predetermined fixed sentence is provided in the format. When inserting a response into a format with a fixed phrase, the content of the response is divided into words, the part of speech is analyzed for each divided word, the appearance frequency, the correlation, etc. are analyzed. Automatic natural language analysis is performed to convert to natural Japanese when applied to the canonical sentence. Format fixed sentences and data necessary for analysis are stored in the HDD 26 as a storage unit, and a program for analysis is stored in the ROM 20 as a storage medium.

  For example, in response to the question “What did you enjoy when you were a junior high school student?”, There was a format of “I enjoyed“ XX ”when you were a junior high school student.” If the answer is "If it was," when you insert the answer as it is, "When I was in junior high school, I enjoyed" I enjoyed the athletic meet "." However, by applying automatic natural language analysis processing, “When I was a junior high school student, I enjoyed the athletic meet.” In other words, since the answer sentence includes the answer expressed as a noun to the question, the fixed sentence should be described in a document of the format “when, xxx, what?”. A document is created by extracting nouns to be inserted into the “XX” part (blank part) and inserting them into the blank part.

  Next, the process proceeds to step 408, where it is determined whether or not all the answers have been inserted by determining whether or not the counter value t has reached the maximum value of the serial number n. If not completed yet, the process proceeds to step 410, the counter value t is incremented, the process returns to step 402, and the process is repeated.

  If all the answers have been inserted into the format, the process proceeds to step 412 to create a digital book by adding information such as the user ID and the creation date and time to the format in which the answers are inserted. Update the book if it exists), save, and return.

  Next, the process proceeds to step 120 in FIG. 3, and it is determined whether or not other content is selected depending on whether or not a signal for selecting content other than the self-produced content is received. If another content is selected, the process proceeds to step 122, another process is executed, and the process proceeds to step 126. Here, the other processing refers to a mail distribution function for distributing mail to other users registered as users of the SNS site, and a plurality of users using a web bulletin board on the theme of birthplace and common hobbies. And it is the process for implement | achieving the friend construction function etc. which form a friend (circle), and since these are well-known processes, description is abbreviate | omitted.

  If no other content is selected, the process proceeds to step 124 to determine whether or not the user has logged out. If the user does not log out, the self-produced content is still selected, and the process returns to step 106. Then, it is determined whether a signal indicating the target date has been received. Here, the user inputs the target date in the target date input area 52 of the display screen shown in FIG. 7 and determines whether or not a signal indicating the target date transmitted by clicking the confirm button 54 is received, The following steps are repeated.

  If it is determined in step 124 and step 126 that the user has logged out, the process ends.

  In this way, the user describes his / her history by referring to the current affairs information and trend information of the age to be described and answering questions corresponding to the age of the time while tracing the past memories. Therefore, it is possible to support the creation of one's own history without impairing the enjoyment described by the user.

  In addition, since the described personal history is generated as a digital book (electronic book) and can be browsed by simply clicking one button, the user can easily enjoy his personal history production. The personal history produced as a digital book can be published as a digital book and an analog book through a publisher on the network 14 and earned.

  When browsing the personal history stored in the web server 10 with the client PC 12, the digital book data is displayed in the Q & A area 32 of FIG. 7, and the current date corresponding to the displayed date of the personal history is displayed. Information and trend information may be displayed in the current affairs information area 34 and the trend information area 36. As in the case described above, a link is set to text or an image part such as a music song name or a fashion product name displayed in the trend information area 36, and a viewer purchases a product on a company site via the link. By doing this, you can also earn advertising revenue as the organizer of the link source site. In addition, advertisements that are automatically distributed in relation to the contents displayed in each display area may be displayed together, thereby making it possible to obtain further advertising revenue and the user's willingness to create their own history. Can be improved.

  In addition to the description of your own history, you can also post still images and videos related to the contents of the description, and you can view the posted still images and videos as your own album by accessing the history production site, It can also be left permanently.

  You can also create a family tree as part of your history. You may make it produce by inputting a required item into a standard family tree format, and you may reply by a Q & A format and insert a reply in a family tree format like the above-mentioned case.

  In addition, the range of disclosure of one's own history can be set as the disclosure range desired by the writer, for example, only relatives, acquaintances / friends, and public disclosure.

  In the present embodiment, the case where the personal history production site is provided as a website that can be displayed and input on the client PC 12 has been described. However, it may be provided as a so-called mobile version site that can be used on a mobile phone.

  In the present embodiment, the case where the personal history production site is provided as one of the contents of the SNS type website has been described, but the content may be provided as an independent site.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the situation corresponding to the age at the time of the target date is as follows: “Before entering elementary school” for 0-5 years old, “Primary school” for 6-12 years old, “Junior high school” for 13-15 years old, etc. As described above, the case of classification by age has been described, but the situation may be a more detailed classification or a simpler classification. Further, the age and the question may be directly associated without estimating the situation.
