Description

  The present invention is, for example, a mobile phone terminal having a Web browser function, a smartphone terminal device such as iPhone (registered trademark) (hereinafter referred to as “mobile terminal device”), and a digital TV broadcast reception having a Web browser function. The present invention relates to a system, an editing device, a server device, and a program for delivering page data that instructs a terminal device such as a device to display a Web page or the like.

  In recent years, with the advancement of advanced information technology against the background of information technology and communication technology that has made dramatic progress, a huge amount of information has been provided from server devices connected to networks such as the Internet. Various information can be obtained by connecting to a network.

  In recent years, the number of users of so-called mobile terminal devices such as mobile phones that can be connected to the Internet has increased. However, if a mobile terminal device displays a Web page distributed from a Web site designed for a personal computer (hereinafter referred to as “PC”), a screen that is extremely difficult to view is displayed in many cases. This is because the display, memory size, interpretable code, and the like of the mobile terminal device are often low specifications compared to those of a general PC. This is also because the contents to be preferentially displayed are often different between the PC and the mobile terminal device.

  As one method for enabling easy-to-view Web page display on a mobile terminal device, it is conceivable to prepare a mobile terminal device website separately from the PC website. However, in that case, it is necessary to design and maintain each of the two different types of websites individually, which places a heavy burden on the website administrator.

  In such a flow, in response to a request from the portable information terminal device, the PC obtains page data for the PC via the Internet and performs conversion for adapting to the portable information terminal device. A proxy server device that transmits a request to a requesting portable information terminal device has been proposed (Patent Document 1).

  This proxy server device receives resource information such as the resolution of the portable information terminal device together with a request for page data acquisition of the portable information terminal device, and based on the resource information, acquires the acquired page data for the PC to the portable information terminal device. Convert to fit. In addition, this proxy server device stores resource information associated with various mobile information terminal device IDs in a database in advance, and together with a request for acquiring page data from the mobile information terminal device, the ID of the mobile information terminal device. Is received, the requested page data is acquired, the resource information corresponding to the received ID is searched from the database, and the acquired page data is converted to match the portable information terminal device based on the searched resource information. . Then, the page data converted by the server device is transmitted to the requesting portable information terminal device. With such a configuration, it is possible to display an easily viewable page on the portable information terminal device.

  The individual editing rule data stored in the editing device 13 is originally registered in accordance with the editing instruction data transmitted from the client terminal device 4 to the editing rule management server device 14, and the client stores the client terminal device 4 in the editing rule data. The registered individual editing rule data can be edited by accessing the editing rule management server device 14 and inputting new editing instruction data. In order to enable editing of editing rule data by such a client, the individual editing rule data having the same contents as those stored in the storage unit of the editing device 13 is stored in the storage unit of the editing rule management server device 14. Has been.

  Also in the editing rule management server device 14, the individual editing rule data is managed in a form stored in the individual editing rule DB. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the structure of the individual editing rule DB stored in the storage unit of the editing rule management server device 14. As shown in FIG. 5, the individual editing rule DB stored in the editing rule management server device 14 includes fields “mobile URL” and “PC file name” included in the individual editing rule DB stored in the editing device 13. ”And“ mobile file name ”are omitted, and the field“ client ID ”that the individual editing rule DB stored in the editing device 13 does not have is included. The field “client ID” stores a client ID for identifying a client who is a provider of PC Web page data identified by the field “PC URL”.

  The storage unit of the editing rule management server device 14 stores a client DB that stores data for authenticating the client. FIG. 6 shows the structure of the client DB. The client DB is a collection of records having a field “client ID” and a field “password”. The data stored in these fields is as indicated by the field names.

  Further, as described above, the rule editing Web page data for instructing the client to display the rule editing Web page for editing the individual editing rule data is stored in the storage unit of the editing rule management server device 14. ing. Hereinafter, operations of the Web page data distribution system 1 and the client terminal device 4 when the client edits the editing rule data on the rule editing Web page will be described.

  When the client performs an operation such as inputting a predetermined URL and hitting the Enter key on the screen of the Web browser of the client terminal device 4, Web page data is sent from the client terminal device 4 to the editing rule management server device 14 according to the input URL. Request is sent. In response to the request, the editing rule management server device 14 first transmits Web page data of the client authentication Web page to the client terminal device 4.

  The client terminal device 4 displays a client authentication Web page according to the Web page data transmitted from the editing rule management server device 14. In the client authentication Web page, the client performs a predetermined operation such as inputting a client ID and a password previously notified by the administrator of the Web page data distribution system 1 and clicking a “Send” button. In response to this operation, the client ID and password input by the client are transmitted from the client terminal device 4 to the editing rule management server device 14.

  The editing rule management server device 14 searches the client DB for a record including the client ID received from the client terminal device 4 in the field “client ID”, and the password stored in the field “password” of the searched record and the received password. Make sure they match. If the password match is confirmed, the editing rule management server device 14 determines that the client operating the requesting client terminal device 4 is a valid client, and then the storage unit of the editing rule management server device 14. The record including the client ID received from the client terminal device 4 in the field “client ID” is extracted from the individual editing rule DB stored in FIG.

  The edit rule management server device 14 transmits to the client terminal device 4 the Web page data of the edit target selection Web page that displays the contents of the field “PC URL” of the record extracted as described above as a list. The client terminal device 4 displays an editing target selection Web page according to the Web page data received from the editing rule management server device 14. The client performs a predetermined operation such as selecting the URL of the Web page data to be edited on the displayed editing target selection Web page and clicking the “OK” button. In response to the operation, the PC URL selected by the client is transmitted from the client terminal device 4 to the editing rule management server device 14.

  The edit rule management server device 14 searches the individual edit rule DB for a record including the PC URL received from the client terminal device 4 in the field “PC URL”, and the contents of the searched record together with the rule edit Web page data. It transmits to the client terminal device 4. The client terminal device 4 embeds and displays the contents of “PC URL” and “editing rule 1” to “editing rule 10” included in the received record for the form formed by the received rule editing Web page data.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a rule editing Web page displayed on the client terminal device 4 when “www.dragfield.com” is selected as the PC URL to be edited by the client. The rule editing Web page includes an edit rule list for newly registering and editing an edit rule. In the editing rule list, columns of “type”, “first parameter”, and “second parameter” are provided.

  For each editing rule, the client first selects an editing type in the “Type” column. Examples of editing types include “tag replacement” for replacing a certain type of tag with another type of tag, “priority” for specifying the priority of a certain block, and “text” for replacing a certain text with another text. There are "replacement" and "block deletion" to delete a certain block.

  The data to be stored in the “first parameter” and the “second parameter” is determined according to the content of the “type” selected by the client. For example, when “tag replacement” is selected as “type”, a replacement source tag is input to “first parameter”, and a replacement destination tag is input to “second parameter”.

  The client performs a predetermined operation such as clicking the “Preview” button after correcting, deleting, or newly adding the already-registered individual editing rule data displayed on the rule editing Web page. . In response to the operation, the individual editing rule data edited by the client is transmitted from the client terminal device 4 to the editing rule management server device 14 together with the URL for PC.

  The editing rule management server device 14 transmits the edited individual editing rule data received from the client terminal device 4 to the editing device 13 together with the PC URL. The editing device 13 receives Web page data specified by the URL from the PC Web server device 11 in accordance with the received PC URL. The editing device 13 edits the PC Web page data received from the PC Web server device 11 according to the individual editing rule data received from the editing rule management server device 14, and generates Web page data for the mobile terminal device.

  More specifically, the editing device 13 is included in the common editing rule data stored in the storage unit, the edited individual editing rule data received from the editing rule management server device 14, and the model group attribute DB, for example. Web page for mobile terminal device suitable for display on mobile terminal device 3 belonging to model group “G-01” according to data such as “cache size” included in the record whose model group ID is “G-01” Generate data. The editing device 13 generates image data indicating a screen displayed on the mobile terminal device 3 belonging to the model group “G-01” according to the generated Web page data, and transmits the image data to the editing rule management server device 14.

  The editing rule management server device 14 transmits the image data received from the editing device 13 to the client terminal device 4 together with the Web page data of the preview Web page. The client terminal device 4 previews what web page is displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal device 3 according to the received data and according to the web page data for the mobile terminal device edited according to the edited individual editing rule data. Display an image. After confirming the preview image to be displayed, the client re-displays the rule editing Web page by clicking the "Back" button of the Web browser, etc., and editing the individual editing rule data as described above and the preview image as necessary. Repeat the check.

  When the client performs a predetermined operation such as clicking the “OK” button on the rule editing Web page, the individual editing rule data displayed on the rule editing Web page at that point in time for that operation is for the PC. The URL is transmitted to the editing rule management server device 14 together with the URL. The editing rule management server device 14 searches the individual editing rule DB for records including the received PC URL in the field “PC URL”, and receives them in the fields “editing rule 1” to “editing rule 10” of the searched records. Overwrite and register the individual edit rule data after editing.

  The editing rule management server device 14 transmits the PC URL received from the client terminal device 4 and the edited individual editing rule data to the editing device 13. Similar to the editing rule management server device 14, the editing device 13 searches the individual editing rule DB stored in the storage unit of the device for a record including the received PC URL in the field “PC URL”. The edited individual edit rule data received in the fields “edit rule 1” to “edit rule 10” of the record are overwritten and registered. The above is the description of the operations of the Web page data distribution system 1 and the client terminal device 4 when the individual editing rule data is edited by the client.

  Next, the operations of the Web page data distribution system 1 and the mobile terminal device 3 when the Web page data distribution system 1 distributes Web page data for the mobile terminal device to the mobile terminal device 3 are shown in FIG. It explains using. In the following description, it is assumed that the mobile terminal device 3 having the model ID “D-125” accesses the Web site for the mobile terminal device identified by the URL “www.dragfield_mobile.com”.

  When the user inputs the URL “www.dragfield_mobile.com” on the screen of the web browser of the mobile terminal device 3 and operates a predetermined button, the mobile terminal device 3 follows the URL “www.dragfield_mobile.com” and follows the mobile web server. The URL “www.dragfield_mobile.com” and the model ID “D-125” of the mobile terminal device 3 are transmitted to the device 12 as a request for Web page data (step S01).

  When the mobile web server device 12 receives the URL “www.dragfield_mobile.com” and the model ID “D-125” from the mobile terminal device 3, first, the model group ID corresponding to the received model ID “D-125” is modeled. Search from the model group correspondence data (see FIG. 2) (step S02). In this case, the model group ID “G-01” is searched.

  Subsequently, the mobile web server device 12 transmits the retrieved model group ID “G-01” together with the URL “www.dragfield_mobile.com” to the editing device 13 as a request for web page data for the mobile terminal device (step S21). S03).

  The editing device 13 searches the individual editing rule DB (see FIG. 4) for a record including the received URL “www.dragfield_mobile.com” in the field “mobile URL”, and includes it in the field “PC URL” of the searched record. URL “www.dragfield.com” is obtained (step S04).

  The editing device 13 transmits a request for web page data to the PC web server device 11 in accordance with the URL “www.dragfield.com” retrieved in step S04 (step S05). In response to the request, the PC Web server device 11 transmits PC Web page data to the editing device 13 (step S06).

  The editing device 13 receives the PC Web page data received in step S06 and the PC Web page data specified by the field “PC file name” of the record searched in step S04 (finally the PC Web server device). 11 and the web page data stored in the storage unit), the version of the web page data newly received in step S06 is received at the end before that based on whether or not they match. It is determined whether or not the version of the Web page data is newer (step S07).

  If it is determined in step S07 that the version is not new (step S07; No), the editing device 13 is currently mobile web server data because the web page data stored in the mobile web server device 12 is the latest. A notification that the web page data is not newly transmitted from the editing device 13 is transmitted to the server device 12 (step S08).

  When the mobile web server device 12 receives the notification in step S08, the web server data searched in step S02 out of the web page data stored in the storage unit in association with the URL “www.dragfield_mobile.com” received in step S01. A device corresponding to the model group ID “G-01” is selected and transmitted to the mobile terminal device 3 (step S09). The mobile terminal device 3 displays a web page according to the web page data received in step S09 (step S10).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S07 that the version is new (step S07; Yes), the editing apparatus 13 first includes a record including the model group ID “G-01” received in step S03 in the field “model group ID”. A search is performed from the model group attribute DB (see FIG. 3) (step S11).

  Subsequently, the editing device 13 follows the common editing rule data stored in the storage unit and the fields “editing rule 1” to “editing rule 10” (that is, individual editing rule data) of the record searched in step S04. Web page data corresponding to attributes such as “cache size” included in the record searched in step S11 is generated (step S12). The editing device 13 transmits the generated web page data to the mobile web server device 12 (step S13).

  The mobile web server device 12 transmits the received web page data to the mobile terminal device 3 (step S14). The mobile terminal device 3 displays a web page according to the web page data received in step S14 (step S15).

  When the mobile web server device 12 finishes sending the web page data in step S14, the model group ID “searched in step S02 among the web page data corresponding to the URL“ www.dragfield_mobile.com ”received in step S01. The data corresponding to “G-01” is overwritten and updated with the Web page data received in step S13 (step S16).

  When the editing apparatus 13 finishes transmitting the Web page data in step S13, the editing apparatus 13 then records records corresponding to each of the model group IDs other than the model group ID “G-01” received in step S03 in the model group attribute DB (FIG. 3), Web page data corresponding to attributes such as “cache size” included in the read record is generated according to the common editing rule data and the individual editing rule data searched in step S04 (step S17). ).

  The editing device 13 sequentially transmits the Web page data generated in Step S17 together with the corresponding model group ID to the mobile Web server device 12 (Step S18). The mobile Web server device 12 uses the Web page data corresponding to the model group ID received in Step S18 among the Web page data corresponding to the URL “www.dragfield_mobile.com” received in Step S01. The page data is overwritten and updated (step S19).

  The above is the description of the operations of the Web page data distribution system 1 and the mobile terminal device 3 when Web page data is distributed to the mobile terminal device 3. As described above, according to the Web page data distribution system 1 according to the present embodiment, a PC Web server device by the editing device 13 is triggered by a request for Web page data from the mobile terminal device 3 to the mobile Web server device 12. The web page data for the mobile terminal device is automatically generated by the acquisition of the web page data for the PC from 11 and the editing process for the obtained web page data for the PC.

  As a result, even if the Web page data for PC is updated, the Web page data for the mobile terminal device updated according to the content of the updated Web page data for PC is the mobile Web server device. 12 is transmitted to the mobile terminal device 3. Therefore, the client who is the provider of the Web page data for the PC does not need to manage the Web page data for the mobile terminal device. At that time, the user of the mobile terminal device 3 simply needs to access the mobile terminal device website as usual, and does not need to set the proxy server device or access a specific conversion site.

  In the system according to the present invention, not only simple conversion from Web page data for PC according to resource information of the mobile terminal device to Web page data for mobile terminal device, but also Web page data for PC. Is accompanied by aggressive editing (content modification) such as changing the display order of the content included in the content or replacing specific content with other content. In this respect, the present invention is greatly different from the prior art.

  The conversion processing according to the prior art performs the same processing of the content displayed on the PC as much as possible within the restrictions by downsizing the image data in accordance with the physical restrictions of the mobile terminal device. It is intended to be displayed on the terminal device. On the other hand, the present invention changes the display order and display contents even for content that can be displayed in a device group that has more resource restrictions than a PC, such as a mobile terminal device. The purpose is not to reproduce this page, but to enable more comfortable browsing.

  It should be noted that such aggressive editing processing for content may infringe copyright if performed without the permission of the original page provider. For example, Web page data distribution according to an embodiment of the present invention In the system 1, since the editing rule is designated by the client who is the provider of the original page, there is no possibility of infringing the copyright.

  Next, how the Web page data for the PC is edited by the editing device 13 and the Web page data for the mobile terminal device is generated will be described. 9 to 12 show the source code of Web page data for PC. FIGS. 13 to 16 show web pages for mobile terminals when the web page data for PC shown in FIGS. 9 to 12 is simply converted according to the resource limitation of the model group ID “G-10”. The page data source code is shown.

  17 to 20 show the source code of the web page data for the mobile terminal device when the editing process is performed only in the common editing rule data in the editing device 13. In FIGS. 21 to 23, editing processing is performed in the editing device 13 according to the common editing rule data and the individual editing rule data (corresponding to the above-mentioned “URL for PC”: “www.dragfield.com”). The source code of the web page data for the mobile terminal device is shown. Each source code is edited according to the model group ID “G-01”.

  FIG. 24 shows a Web page displayed according to the Web page data shown in FIGS. Similarly, FIGS. 25, 26, and 27 show Web pages that are displayed according to the Web page data shown in FIGS. 13 to 16, FIGS. 17 to 20, and FIGS. 21 to 23, respectively.

  First, as apparent from comparison between FIGS. 9 to 12 and FIGS. 13 to 16, in simple conversion, deletion of attribute data indicated by “id =” or “class =” included in the tag, Processing such as down-sizing processing for keeping the size of the image data within the horizontal size 240 and the height size 260, and deletion of a tag unrelated to the display of a page such as a <span> tag are performed. However, the content included in the source code is not changed or deleted, and the order of the content is not changed. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 25, according to the Web page data by simple conversion, for example, the content of “news” which is the substantial content of this Web page is probably the fourth and fifth pages on the screen of the mobile terminal device. Will finally be displayed.

  Subsequently, as is apparent from a comparison between FIGS. 13 to 16 and FIGS. 17 to 20, when editing is performed according to the common editing rule data, links are pasted to all text contents or image contents. Blocks B1 to B4, which are existing blocks, have been moved to the end (immediately before the end tag </ body>). As a result, as shown in FIG. 26, the menu display of “company information”, “business introduction”, “news”, “recruitment information”, and “inquiry” displayed above in FIG. As a result of the downward movement of the banner image including "", the number of pages that need to be turned before displaying the contents of "news" is reduced by about one page.

  Further, as apparent from a comparison between FIGS. 13 to 16 and FIGS. 21 to 23, when editing is performed in accordance with the common editing rule data and the individual editing rule data, first, as shown in FIGS. Blocks B5 to B9 are deleted (editing rules 7 and 8). Further, a block B10 shown in FIGS. 21 to 23 is added (edit rule 9). In addition, the block B11 located below in FIGS. 13 to 16 is moved upward in FIGS. 21 to 23 (editing rule 2). It should be noted that the block B1 that has been moved downward in FIGS. 17 to 20 returns to the upper side in FIGS. This is a result according to the editing rule 4. As described above, when the editing rule indicated by the common editing rule data and the editing rule indicated by the individual editing rule data are inconsistent, the editing rule indicated by the individual editing rule data is preferentially applied.

  As a result of editing the source code as described above, as shown in FIG. 27, in the Web page displayed according to the source code of FIGS. 21 to 23, for example, the content of “news” is probably one page. Displayed on the second or second page. As a result, it is possible for the provider of the Web page to transmit the content to be transmitted to the user of the mobile terminal device with a higher probability, and for the user of the mobile terminal device, the substantial content can be quickly browsed, which is preferable. . Furthermore, according to this example, the tag is changed in accordance with the editing rules 1, 3, 5 and 6, and as a result, an easy-to-see display that is more suitable for the display of the mobile terminal device with a narrow width is realized. Such display optimization cannot be realized by a simple conversion according to the prior art.
