Description

  The present invention relates to a processing system, a processing device, a terminal device, a processing method, and a program.

  Since applications for mobile terminals, particularly smartphones, have a high degree of freedom in development, and individuals can also participate in development, many applications are released on dedicated application distribution servers. In such an application distribution server, many developers develop and publish applications, so a huge number of applications are flooded regardless of whether they are paid or free.

  However, sufficient information for each application is not necessarily posted on such an application distribution server. When a user selects an application, it is necessary to refer to, for example, ranking type information provided by the application distribution server or information that is not sufficient. Thus, although the number of applications to be distributed is increasing, it can be said that it is difficult for the user to search for an application that matches the personal taste.

  For example, in Patent Document 1, a content to be recommended to a user is selected using collaborative filtering from a past content download history for each user and a past content download history of another user similar to the history. A technique for generating and presenting a user-specific portal page linked with the selected content is disclosed.

  Further, in Patent Document 2, when the environment of a mobile terminal in which a desired application is installed is copied to another mobile terminal, an application profile created from usage history information of each installed application is transferred to the other mobile terminal. In other portable terminals, a technique for specifying an application to be installed based on a received application profile is disclosed.

  When the user introduces an application from the application distribution server 2 to the user terminal 1, the application management unit 21 stores the application in the application storage unit 22 and also stores the application name, identifier / identification code, and acquisition source (provider / Application information consisting of manufacturers / developers is stored in the information table 23. When the information table 23 is updated, the information transmission unit 24 transmits application information to the information totaling server 3. At this time, only the updated information may be transmitted or all application information may be transmitted.

  The application information may further include application version information and download date / time (including installation date and time after download). Further, as terminal information, model information (model name, serial number, etc.), OS (Operating System) type / version information, GPS (Global Positioning System), Felica (registered trademark), infrared communication, Bluetooth (registered trademark), etc. Hardware information (model name and serial number) such as a short-range wireless communication function, a camera, and an acceleration sensor may be added.

  The application distribution server 2 distributes the requested application via the network 4 in response to a request from the user terminal 1.

  The information totaling server 3 includes a communication device 31, an information receiving unit 32, an information storage unit 33, a statistical information processing unit 34, and an information reading unit 35. The communication device 31 performs data communication with the user terminal 1 via the network 4. The information receiving unit 32 receives application information transmitted from the user terminal 1, and holds application introduction status information 33-1 (details will be described later) indicating the application introduction status for each user in the information storage unit 33.

  In addition, the statistical information processing unit 34 uses, as application introduction statistical information installed in each user terminal, from the application introduction status information 33-1, for each application, what other application the user who installed the application An application introduction frequency information table 33-2 (described later) indicating whether or not is installed is constructed and held in the information storage unit 33. The application introduction frequency information table 33-2 is updated each time the application introduction status information 33-1 for each user is updated.

  When there is a request from the user terminal 1, the information reading unit 35 relates to the application specified in response to the request from the user terminal 1 from the application introduction frequency information table 33-2 held in the information storage unit 33. Then, a list of other applications having a high introduction frequency is read out and sent to the user terminal 1 via the communication device 31.

  The other applications with high introduction frequency are: (1) compatibility between software (application and basic software such as OS), (2) compatibility between specified application and hardware of the model, (3) It includes other applications that are highly compatible with the designated application and newly connected / embedded hardware.

  When the user terminal 1 receives a list of other applications having a high introduction frequency related to the specified application based on the application introduction frequency information table 33-2, the user terminal 1 displays a list of the applications, or Once stored in the information table 23, it is read out and used as appropriate. Moreover, it is not limited to displaying the entire list of received applications, but only a predetermined number of parts from the top in the order of frequency may be displayed. As a result, the user can easily acquire other applications that are frequently introduced in relation to a certain application.

In the above-described configuration, the information receiving unit 32, the statistical information processing unit 34, and the information reading unit 35 are a central processing unit (CPU).
Unit) and a program executed by the CPU, and may correspond to a functional block of the program.

Further, the application storage unit 22, the information table 23, and the information storage unit 33 are configured by a storage device such as a flash memory, and the information table 23 may be a database configured in the storage device.

  FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a data configuration of the information table 23 provided in the user terminal 1 according to the present embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the information table 23 stores information including an application name, an identifier, and an acquisition source as application information indicating an application installed in the user terminal 1. Each time an application is introduced, the application management unit 21 acquires application information including the name, identifier, and acquisition source of the application acquired from the application distribution server 2 using the communication device 12 and stores the application information in the information table 23. The application identification information shown in FIG. 2 is an example, and may be a code, a character string, or any other information as long as it is information for identifying the application.

  FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram illustrating an example of the application introduction status information 33-1 generated from the application information by the information totaling server 3 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 3 shows the introduction status of five applications for ten users. The application introduction status information 33-1 holds an application installed in the user terminal for each user. That is, the user User1 introduces the applications App1 and App3, and the user User2 introduces the applications App2, App4, and App5. Hereinafter, similarly, an application in which a circle is introduced is shown.

  FIG. 4 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of the application introduction frequency information table 33-2 generated from the application introduction status information 33-1 in the information totaling server 3 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 4 shows an application introduction frequency information table 33-2 generated from the application introduction status information 33-1 shown in FIG. The statistical information processing unit 34 of the information totaling server 3 pays attention to one or more user terminals that have introduced a certain application as statistical information of application introduction that has been introduced to each user terminal, and introduced to those user terminals. It has a function of calculating the number of user terminals installed with other applications. The number of user terminals referred to here is the number of user terminals into which an application has been introduced, and is therefore in agreement with the number of application introductions (introduction frequency).

  That is, the statistical information processing unit 34 introduces, from the application introduction status information 33-1 for each application (key), the number of user terminals into which the application is introduced (numerical value in parentheses = number of introductions) and the user terminal. The number of user terminals into which other applications that have been introduced (numbers in parentheses = number of introductions) are tabulated to construct an application introduction frequency information table 33-2.

  From the application introduction frequency information table 33-2, it is possible to know the number of user terminals that have installed a certain application and the number of user terminals that have installed other applications that have been installed on the user terminal. That is, if “Application 1” is designated as a key, information is obtained that Application 1 is introduced in “4” user terminals, and Application 3 is introduced in “2” user terminals. If “Application 2” is designated as a key, Application 2 is introduced in “4” user terminals, Application 4 is introduced in “2” user terminals, and Application 5 is installed in “2” user terminals. Information that is introduced. Similarly, the number of user terminals (= the number of installations) in which other applications installed in the user terminal in which each application is installed is obtained.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.
FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the user terminal 1 when an application is downloaded and introduced in the present embodiment. First, the user terminal 1 downloads an application from the application distribution server 2 using the communication device 12, and stores it in the application storage unit 22 (step S10). Next, the application management unit 21 reads the name, identifier, and acquisition source of the application and stores them in the information table 23 (step S12). However, if an element having the same identifier is already stored in the information table 23, nothing is done. Next, the information transmission part 24 transmits all the elements stored in the information table 23 to the information totaling server 3 using the communication apparatus 12 (step S14).

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the information totaling server 3 that has received the information transmitted from the user terminal 1 in this embodiment. First, the information totaling server 3 receives the application name, the identifier, and the acquisition source information transmitted from the user terminal 1 by the information receiving unit 32 and holds them in the information storage unit 33 as the application introduction status information 33-1 for each user terminal. (Step S20).

  Next, the statistical information processing unit 34 of the information totaling server 3 performs the processes of the following steps S22 to S28 using the application introduction status information 33-1 stored in the information storage unit 33. First, the statistical information processing unit 34 extracts all user terminals 1 in which a certain application is introduced (step S22). Next, the statistical information processing unit 34 extracts all other applications introduced by the user terminal 1 as statistical information relating to the introduction of the application installed in each user terminal (step S24), and extracts each extracted application. (The number of user terminals = the number of introductions) (step S26), and the application introduction frequency information table 33-2 is constructed using the application identifier as a key and the total number as a value (step S28).

  For example, when five applications are introduced for 10 users and the application introduction status information 33-1 is as shown in FIG. 3, the application introduction frequency information table 33-2 as shown in FIG. can get.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the processing in steps S22 to S28 has been performed for all applications (step S30). If there are applications that have not been performed yet (NO in step S30), step Returning to S22, the above-described processing is repeated.

  And if the process of said step S22-S28 is performed with respect to all the applications (YES of step S30), the statistical information processing part 34 will store the constructed application introduction frequency information table 33-2 in the information storage part 33. Hold (step S32), and the process ends.

  7A and 7B illustrate operations of the user terminal 1 and the information totaling server 3 when the user terminal 1 connects to the application distribution server 2 and introduces an arbitrary application in the present embodiment. It is a flowchart for.

  First, in FIG. 7A, the user terminal 1 connects to the application distribution server 2 and selects an arbitrary application to be presented (step S40). Next, the user terminal 1 makes an inquiry to the information aggregation server 3 using the identifier of the selected application as a key (step S42).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 7B, the information reading unit 35 of the information totaling server 3 is stored corresponding to the key from the application introduction frequency information table 33-2 constructed in the information storage unit 33. The total number (value) for each other application is acquired and sent to the user terminal 1 side (step S50).

  As shown in FIG. 7A, the user terminal 1 extracts an arbitrary number from the counting number (value) for each of the other applications received from the information counting server 3 in descending order of introduction frequency. 13 (step S44). Therefore, the user can know the other applications introduced by other users who have introduced the designated application in order from the highest introduction frequency.

  According to the above-described embodiment, when downloading an application using the user terminal 1, the statistical information related to the application introduction installed in each user terminal is obtained from the application introduction frequency information table 33-2 as the user terminal 1. By presenting a list of other applications having a high introduction frequency related to the application specified in response to the request to the user terminal 1, the user can easily make another application having a high introduction frequency related to a certain application. Be able to get.

  In the embodiment described above, when the user terminal 1 selects an application in step S40 of FIG. 7A, the application introduction frequency information table 33-2 related to the key is acquired and presented. Alternatively, steps S42 and S44 of FIG. 7A may be executed using an arbitrary application stored in the user terminal 1 as a key. In this case, since it is unnecessary for the user to select a specific application for the application distribution server 2, other applications related to the application introduced to the user terminal 1 can be presented more easily.

  In the above-described embodiment, the condition is that the same user (user terminal) is introduced as another application related to a certain application. However, as a condition for calculating statistical information regarding application introduction, An application creator (or a production company, a sales company, etc.) may be added. However, the creator or company may be determined by group.

  In the case of an application used by the same creator (production company, sales company) as an application used simultaneously with a certain application, there is a high possibility that problems such as consistency are unlikely to occur. Therefore, it is highly effective to add an application creator (or a production company, a sales company, etc.) as a condition for calculating statistical information related to application introduction.

  Further, as a condition for calculating statistical information regarding application introduction, model information of the user terminal 1, OS (Operating System) type and version, application version, or the like may be added.

  In the above-described embodiment, the download target is the application software. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention may be applied to the case where hardware is added. For example, the present invention can be applied to the introduction of driver software for operating the added hardware and an application for using the added hardware. In this case, when hardware is newly installed (or replaced) or connected via a predetermined interface, the user is most likely to be the driver software or application for that hardware. Driver software and applications installed by many users can be selected.

  Moreover, although this embodiment is an example applied to a mobile phone, a smart phone, etc., this invention is not limited to this, For example, as a game machine, a tablet PC (personal computer), a notebook, etc. It can be widely applied to PCs.
