Description

  The present invention relates to a communication device for displaying content published on an RSS compatible site.

  Web pages are published on various server devices. Some server devices release a plurality of contents in which information described on a Web page is aggregated (hereinafter referred to as an RSS server). The content includes a content URL designating a link destination web page, a content title representing the title of the link destination web page, and content information summarizing information on the link destination web page. When a plurality of contents are disclosed, it is disclosed as feed information (Feed). As the format of the feed information, for example, there are RSS (Resource Description Framework Site Summary) and Atom. Non-Patent Document 1 below discloses software (RSS reader) for periodically acquiring feed information and displaying each content title. When this software is installed on the PC, the user can view each content title.

Tomoyuki Ozu, “Displaying RSS-delivered article titles in an electric bulletin board style” Dirty News Reader ”, [Online], May 26, 2004, Impression Corporation, [Search July 29, 2008], Internet, <http://www.forest.impress.co.jp/article/2004/05/26/dirtynewsreader.html>

The RSS server described above updates content, and thus feed information including the content, irregularly. The frequency of update varies from RSS server to RSS server. Some RSS servers update information every day, and some RSS servers update information once every two months. Users want new content. For this reason, the user always uses the RSS reader as described above to check whether the content has been updated.
For example, as described above, in the order of feed information acquired from an RSS server that is updated once every two months, and feed information acquired from an RSS server that is updated once a day. In some cases, content included in the feed information is displayed. That is, ranking may be performed for each RSS server, and feed information (a plurality of contents) acquired from each RSS server may be displayed in that order.
In such a case, when the user browses the content every day, the content that is updated only once every two months is displayed first every day, and the content that is frequently updated as once a day is displayed later. Therefore, it is difficult for a user who wants new contents to be updated every day, so that it is difficult to view the new contents immediately, and the viewability is poor.
The present specification provides a communication device capable of preferentially providing a user with content estimated to have a new update date and time.

The feed update date and time extraction means includes first update determination means for determining whether or not the acquired feed information includes the feed update date and time, and the first update determination means includes the feed update date and time in the acquired feed information. A second storage unit configured to set time information resulting from the feed information acquisition and store the information in the storage medium in association with the feed update date and time.

The communication device according to claim 3 is dependent on the communication device according to claim 2.
The content includes a content update date and time indicating the date and time when the linked Web page was updated. When the first update determination unit determines that the feed update date / time is not included in the acquired feed information, the second storage unit includes any of the time information resulting from the feed information acquisition included in the acquired feed information. Set to the content update date and time.

The communication device according to claim 4 is subordinate to the communication device according to claim 3.
The content included in the acquired feed information includes a second update determination unit that determines whether or not the content update date / time is included in the content included in the acquired feed information. When it is determined that the update date / time is not included, provisional time setting means is provided for setting a temporary content update date / time for content not including the content update date / time.

The communication device according to claim 5 is subordinate to the communication device according to claim 4.
The temporary time setting means determines that the first update determining means does not include the feed update date and time in the acquired feed information, and the second update determining means determines which of the contents included in the acquired feed information. If it is determined that the content update date / time is not included, the time when the feed information is acquired is set to the content not including the content update date / time.

The communication device according to claim 6 is dependent on either of the communication devices according to claim 4 or 5.
When the same content as the acquired content has already been stored in the storage medium, the temporary time setting means sets the content update date and time included in the acquired content to the content update date and time included in the same content that has already been stored. Set to.

A communication device according to a seventh aspect is dependent on any one of the communication devices according to the third to sixth aspects.
If the first update determination unit determines that the acquired feed information does not include the feed update date and time, the latest content update out of the content update times included in each of the plurality of contents included in the acquired feed information Set time as feed update date and time.

The program according to claim 8 is capable of communicating with a server device that stores feed information including a plurality of contents. The feed information acquisition means to be acquired, the feed update date extraction means for extracting the feed update date and time indicating the date and time when the feed information was updated from the acquired feed information, the extracted feed update date and time and the feed information are associated and stored A plurality of pieces of content information included in feed information associated with the first update means stored in the medium and the feed update date and time saved in the storage medium are displayed on the display unit in order of feed information, starting from the latest feed update date and time. Function as display means.
Here, the content is information obtained by accumulating information on Web pages. (Hereafter, the same applies to “content”)
The update date / time is a concept including the date / time of release and the date / time of update (hereinafter, the same applies to “update date / time”).

The feed information acquisition unit acquires feed information from the server device.

The display unit displays a plurality of pieces of content information included in the feed information stored in the storage medium on the display unit in order of the feed update date and time in units of feed information.

  According to the communication device of claim 1 and the program of claim 8, the content included in the feed information can be displayed in units of feeds in order from the latest feed information of the feed update date and time. Since the newly updated feed information is more likely to include new content, the user can view the newly updated content.

  According to the communication device of the second aspect, even when the feed update date / time is not included in the acquired feed information, the user can browse the content included in the feed information.

  According to the communication device of the third aspect, the update of the feed information can be rephrased as the update of the content included in the feed information. Therefore, the feed information does not include the feed update date and time. Even when the content update date / time is set as the feed update date / time, the content included in the feed information can be appropriately displayed in units of feed information.

4. The communication device according to claim 3, wherein when the feed update date / time is a content update date / time included in any of the plurality of contents included in the acquired feed information, the content update date / time is included in any content. Is not included.
According to the communication device of the fourth aspect, when there is content that does not include the content update date / time in the acquired feed information, a temporary content update date / time can be set for the content. Thereby, the content update date and time can always be set for the content.

  According to the communication device of claim 5, none of the contents included in the acquired feed information includes the content update date and time, and the acquired feed information does not include the feed update date and time. In this case, the content update time can be set to the time when the feed information is acquired. Thereby, even when no content update date is included in any content, the content can be displayed in units of feed information according to the order of the update date.

According to the communication device of the sixth aspect, when the same content as the acquired content is already stored in the storage medium, the content update date and time of the acquired content is included in the same stored content. Content update date and time can be set.
The effect of the communication device according to the sixth aspect is remarkable when none of the contents of the acquired feed information includes the content update date and time. Since the content update date and time of the same content that has already been stored is stored, it is useless to set the time when the feed information is acquired for the same newly acquired content.
When setting the time when the feed information is acquired as the content update date and time of the content not including the content update date and time as in the communication device according to claim 5, even if the feed information including the same content is received many times, The content update date and time of the content is unified by the time when the feed information including the content is first received. As a result, each time content that has been saved and may have been viewed by the user is newly acquired, a new content update date and time is set and handled as new content, giving priority to new content. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the viewability from deteriorating for a user who wants to browse the site.

  According to the communication device according to claim 7, when the acquired feed information does not include the feed update date and time, the latest content update time included in each of the plurality of contents included in the acquired feed information is included. Content update time can be set. Due to the characteristics of feed information, when the feed update date / time is not set in the acquired feed information, the time that would be the true feed update date / time is the latest content update date / time among the content update dates / times included in the feed information. I guess that. Therefore, the content can be displayed in units of feeds in order from the latest feed update date and time.

  In S <b> 9, the CPU 14 deletes all the “displayed” flags 113 attached to the feed information 101 b stored in the content storage area 37. Here, the “displayed” flag 113 is a guideline indicating whether or not the feed information 101b is displayed on the touch panel 50 by the process of S64 described later. In order to avoid displaying the content 132 displayed in the past on the touch panel 50, a “displayed” flag is attached.

In S <b> 10, the CPU 14 determines whether or not there is a site URL 102 whose acquisition status 103 is set to “acquire” and whose acquisition status is “before update”. If the “before update” site URL 102 exists (S10: YES), the process proceeds to S4. If the “before update” site URL 102 does not exist (S10: NO), the process proceeds to S11.
In S <b> 11, the CPU 14 sets all acquisition statuses of the site URL 102 whose acquisition setting 103 is set to “acquire” and the acquisition status is “after update” to “before update”.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, an operation when displaying the feed information 101b stored in the content storage area 37 will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing content display. FIG. 7 is a conceptual diagram of the content storage area 37 in content display.

  In S <b> 60, the CPU 14 determines whether or not the power of the communication device 10 is turned on or when the communication device 10 returns from a sleep state where the communication device 10 does not accept the command. When the power of the communication device 10 is turned on or when the communication device 10 returns from the sleep state (S60: YES), the process proceeds to S62. If the power of the communication device 10 is not turned on or is not restored from the sleep state (S60: NO), the process proceeds to S61.

  In S <b> 61, the CPU 14 determines whether or not the user has input a command to display the content 132 on the communication device 10 via the touch panel 50, the keypad 52, or the like. When a command is input (S61: YES), the process proceeds to S62, and when a command is not input (S61: NO), the process proceeds to S60.

  In S62, the CPU 14 selects one piece of feed information 101b in which the latest feed update date / time 110 is set from the respective pieces of feed information 101b not attached with the “displayed” flag from the content storage area 37 (the latest information). If there are a plurality of feed update dates and times 110, they are randomly selected from them.)

In S63, the CPU 14 attaches the “displaying” 112 flag to the feed information 101b selected in S62.
In S64, the CPU 14 displays all the content 132 included in the feed information 101b selected in S62 on the touch panel 50.
In S65, the CPU 14 attaches a “displayed” flag 113 to the feed information 101b displayed in S64.

In S66, the CPU 14 deletes the “displaying” flag 112 attached to the feed information 101b displayed in S64.
In S <b> 67, the CPU 14 refers to the content storage area 37 and determines whether there is feed information 101 b to which the “displayed” flag 113 is attached. If there is feed information 101b to which the “displayed” flag 113 is attached (S67: YES), the process proceeds to S62. If there is no feed information 101b to which the “displayed” flag 113 is attached (S67: NO), the process proceeds to S68.

  In S <b> 68, the CPU 14 deletes all the “displayed” flags 113 attached to the feed information 101 b stored in the content storage area 37.

  Next, the effect of this embodiment will be described.

  According to the present embodiment, the feed information 101 stored in the servers 90 and 91 can be displayed on the touch panel 50 in units of feeds in order from the newest feed update date and time 106. Since the newly updated feed information 101 is more likely to include new content 132, the user can view the newly updated content 132.

  Further, even when the feed update date 110 is not set in the acquired feed information 101, the time set in the content update date 106 can be set as the feed update date 110. Thereby, all the content 132 included in the acquired feed information 101 can be displayed on the touch panel 50.

  At this time, if there is a content 132 for which the content update date 106 is not set in the content 132, the content update date 106 of the content 132 that has not been set is the latest from each content 132 for which the content update date 106 is set. Content update date and time 106 is set. Further, when the acquired feed information 101 includes only the content 132 for which the content update date 106 is not set, the content 132 for which the content update date 106 is not set includes the current time information for acquiring the feed information 101. Is set. As a result, the content update date and time 106 is set for all the contents 132 included in the acquired feed information 101, so that the feed update date and time 110 of the acquired feed information 101 is reliably set. Problems that are not displayed on the touch panel 50 can be suppressed.

Further, it is possible to set the content update date and time 106 that is stored in the content storage area 37 and included in the same content 132 as the content 132 referred to in S34 by the processing of S38. Since there is a content update date and time 106 of the same content that has already been saved, the feed update date and time 110 of the feed information 101 is set to a more probable value than setting the current time information when the feed information 101 is acquired. Can do.
As a result, every time the content 132 for which the content update date and time 106 is not set is acquired, a new time acquired again is set in spite of the content 132 that has already been referred to. Can be prevented.

  Specific examples of the present invention have been described in detail above, but these are merely examples and do not limit the scope of the claims. The technology described in the claims includes various modifications and changes of the specific examples illustrated above.

  In the present embodiment, in S9, the CPU 14 deletes all the “displayed” flags attached to the feed information 101b stored in the content storage area 37. However, S9 may be omitted. Without S9, the browsed memory is not erased even if the feed information 101 is acquired, and the browsed feed information 101b is displayed on the touch panel 50 until the user browses all the feed information 101b stored in the content storage area 37. Can be suppressed from being displayed.

In the process of S64, the content 132 is displayed. However, it is not limited to this.
It is sufficiently possible to set to display either the content information 109 or the content title 107 included in the content 132.
