PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To asynchronously display each content in accordance with the popularity of each content.SOLUTION: A server device 20 creates a Web page including the file names of n pieces of content in the ascending order of browsing indexes, and acquires one content of the largest browsing index. The server device 20 makes a response with the Web page and one content, and allows a client device 1 to display the content. The server device 20 receives a content acquisition request including one file name of unacquired content among the respective file names in the Web page from the client device 1. The server device 20 makes a response with one content on the basis of the file name in the content acquisition request, and allows the client device 1 to further update and display a screen further including one content. The server device 20 repeatedly executes the process of receiving the content acquisition request and the process of making a response with the content until the screen including the n pieces of content is updated and displayed in the ascending order of the browsing indexes.

Description

  The present invention relates to a content display method, a server device, a program, and a storage medium.

  2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, there has been known a content display method in which a client device acquires and displays a Web page and each content from a server device that stores a plurality of content such as games and a Web page for displaying each predetermined content. Yes.

  FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram for explaining this type of content display method. When the URL (uniform resource locator) of the screen A is input by the operation of the user U, the client device 1 transmits a request including the URL to the server device 2. Thereafter, the client device 1 displays a loading screen indicating that reading is in progress.

  When the server apparatus 2 receives the request from the client apparatus 1, the server apparatus 2 reads the Web page on the screen A based on the URL in the request. In part of the Web page, the file names of the contents a to e are individually described in order from the top row.

  The server device 2 executes a process (content a process) for acquiring the content a based on the file name of the content a described in the Web page. Similarly, the server device 2 sequentially executes the contents b to e processing.

  Thereby, the server apparatus 2 acquires all the contents a to e described in the Web page on the screen A.

  Thereafter, the server device 2 returns a response including the Web page and all the contents a to e to the client device 1.

  Upon receiving this response, the client device 1 stops displaying the loading screen and displays the screen A including all the contents a to e based on the Web page in the response.

  However, since the display method in which the client device 1 and the server device 2 are synchronized in this way is a method in which one request for the screen A is transmitted and one response to the screen A is returned, all the responses to the screen A are included. Content a to e need to be included. Therefore, when the screen A includes various types of contents a, b,..., The display completion of the screen A is delayed.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 13, the display in the screen A is dynamically updated so that the content is loaded in units of the screen A and the contents a to e in the screen A are sequentially increased from above. Asynchronous type content display methods are known.

  According to the asynchronous content display method, the contents a to e are displayed in order from the top, so that the waiting time of the user until a part of the Web page is displayed can be shortened.

  For such an asynchronous content display method, for example, the technique of Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript (registered trademark) + XML) can be used (for example, see Non-Patent Document 1).

Satoshi Fujimoto, “This is the common sense of web applications that you should know”, first edition, Technical Review, Inc., April 25, 2008, p. 145-148

  However, the content display method as described above usually has no problem, but according to the study of the present inventors, there is room for improvement in the following points.

  That is, the user has a desire to display not each predetermined content but also each popular content or content having a stronger user preference without waiting much. In addition, each popular content and each content requested by a user often changes. For this reason, as a content display method, a method of asynchronously displaying each content according to the current popularity or the user's preference instead of each predetermined content is desirable.

  On the other hand, the conventional content display method does not support such a method. Therefore, the conventional content display method has room for improvement in that each content cannot be displayed asynchronously according to the popularity of each content or the user's preference.

  The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a content display method, a server device, a program, and a storage medium that can display each content asynchronously according to the popularity of each content.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide a content display method capable of displaying each content asynchronously according to the user's preference.

  One aspect of the present invention is a content display method in which a server apparatus that manages n or more contents and has storage means displays n contents on a client apparatus, and the server apparatus includes the n or more contents. Updating the history data indicating a history of browsing each of the contents in the storage means, the server device based on the history data, each file name of the n or more contents, updating and storing browsing information associated with a browsing index indicating the degree of browsing of each of the n or more contents in the storage unit; and the server device sends a data acquisition request for the display to the client A first request receiving step received from a device; and the server device based on the received data acquisition request and the browsing information. Creating a web page including file names of n pieces of content in descending order of the index, obtaining one piece of content associated with the largest browsing index, and the server device including the created web page and A first response step of causing the client device to display a screen including the one content based on the Web page by responding the acquired one content to the client device; and the server device, A second request receiving step of receiving, from the client device, a content acquisition request including one file name of unacquired content in the descending order of the browsing index among the file names in the responding Web page; The server device has one content based on the file name in the content acquisition request. A second response step of causing the client device to update and display the screen so as to further include the one content by acquiring the one content to the client device, and the server device, And a step of repeatedly executing the second request reception step and the second response step until the screen is updated and displayed so as to include n pieces of content in descending order of the browsing index. .

  According to another aspect of the present invention, in the content display method described above, the history data includes a file name of each of the n or more contents and a user identification that identifies the client device or identifies a user of the client device The browsing information includes the user identification information associated with each file name and the browsing index, and the server device receives the reception as the step of acquiring the content. Based on the data acquisition request and the browsing information, the user identification information in the browsing information is associated with the user identification information in the browsing information that matches the user identification information included in the data acquisition request. Creating a web page including file names of n pieces of content in descending order of the browsing index; A server device acquires one content associated with the largest browsing index among the browsing indices associated with the user identification information in the matching browsing information. It is a display method.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Each of the following devices can be implemented with either a hardware configuration or a combination configuration of hardware resources and software. As the software of the combined configuration, a program that is installed in advance from a network or a storage medium into the computer of each device and realizes the function of the corresponding device is used.

<First Embodiment>
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a configuration of a client server system to which the content display method according to the first embodiment of the present invention is applied, and FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing an example of browsing information used in the method. .

  Note that this content display method is a method in which the server apparatus 20 that manages n or more contents and has the storage unit 21 causes the client apparatus 1 to display n contents.

  The client server system includes a client device 1 and a server device 20. An arbitrary plurality of client devices 1 exist, but here one is shown as a representative example. The devices 1 and 20 can communicate with each other via a computer network 30 and a mobile communication network 40.

  Any network can be used as the computer network 30 as long as it enables communication between computers, and the Internet is used here.

  Any mobile communication network 40 can be used as long as it enables communication of a computer as a mobile communication device such as a mobile phone, a smartphone, and a tablet terminal.

  As the client device 1, for example, a tablet terminal such as iPad (registered trademark) using an OS (operating system) such as iOS or a smartphone using an OS such as Android (registered trademark) can be used as appropriate. It has become.

  The client device 1 is a portable communication device in this example, but is not limited thereto, and may be a stationary computer such as a desktop personal computer.

  In other words, the client device 1 may be a computer that has a memory for storing a Web browser program and a processor that executes the program and can communicate with the server device 20.

  Here, the server device 20 includes a storage unit 21, a browsing information update unit 22, and a response processing unit 23.

  The storage unit 21 is a storage device that can be read / written from the units 22 and 23, and stores n or more contents, history data, and browsing information 21a.

  The n or more contents are contents such as games, for example. n is the number of popular contents displayed on one web page. The lower limit of n is 2 instead of 1 because this embodiment uses asynchronous communication. The upper limit of n is not an excessive value for displaying popular content on the Web page, and is, for example, 30. That is, n is in the range of 2 to 30, for example. Usually, the value of n is 2, 3, 5, 10, 20 or 30. These values of n exemplify the values of n that are normally used for the expression of best n, such as best 2, best 3, best 5, best 10, best 20 and best 30. These upper limits and values of n are not limited to the exemplified upper limits and values, and arbitrary upper limits and values can be used. Since the storage unit 21 stores n or more contents, the storage unit 21 may store n contents, but normally stores m contents significantly more than n.

  The history data is data indicating a history of browsing each of the n or more contents, and is updated and stored in the storage unit 21 by the browsing information update unit 22. The history data includes, for example, the file name of the content, the viewing date / time (transmission date / time) of the content, and further includes user identification information (eg, IP address, account information, etc.) for identifying the browsing user. You may go out.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the browsing information 21a is information in which the file name of each of the n or more contents is associated with a browsing index indicating the degree to which each of the n or more contents has been browsed. Yes, it is updated and stored in the storage unit 21 by the browsing information update unit 22. Since the degree of browsing increases as the popularity increases, the browsing index is also a value corresponding to the popularity of the content. The browsing information 21a shown in FIG. 2 is an example of n = 5, and the file name of each of five or more contents and the browsing index are associated with each other. Moreover, although the browsing information 21a shown in FIG. 2 further associates the browsing order for the purpose of facilitating understanding, the browsing order may be omitted. The browsing order indicates the order of the browsing index. For this reason, when the browsing index is not omitted, “in descending order of browsing index” described later can be read as “in descending order of browsing order”.

  Examples of the browsing index include a page view (PV) indicating the number of times the content has been browsed, a unique user (UU) indicating the number of users who have browsed the content, and a daily active indicating the number of users per day who have browsed the content. A user (DAU) or a weekly active user (WAU) indicating the number of users per week who browse contents can be used as appropriate.

  When the browsing index is PV, the user identification information may be omitted from the history data. When the browsing index is UU, DAU, or WAU, the history data includes user identification information.

  The browsing information update unit 22 has the following functions (f22-1) to (f22-2), for example.

  (f22-1) A history data update function for updating and storing history data indicating a history of browsing each of n or more contents in the storage unit 21.

  (f22-2) Based on the history data, the browsing information 21a in which the file name of each of the n or more contents and the browsing index indicating the degree of browsing of each of the n or more contents are associated Browsing information update function for updating and storing the information in the storage unit 21.

  The response processing unit 23 has, for example, the following functions (f23-1) to (f23-6).

  (f23-1) A first request reception function for receiving a data acquisition request for display from the client device 1.

  (f23-2) Based on the received data acquisition request and the browsing information 21a, a web page including file names of n pieces of content in descending order of browsing index is created and associated with the largest browsing index. An acquisition function that acquires one piece of content.

  (f23-3) Displaying the screen including the one content on the client device 1 based on the Web page by responding the created web page and the acquired one content to the client device 1 First response function to be made.

  (f23-4) Second request reception for receiving a content acquisition request including one file name of unacquired content from the client device 1 in descending order of browsing index among the file names in the responding Web page function.

  (f23-5) One content is acquired based on the file name in the content acquisition request, and the one content is further responded to the client device 1 so as to further include the one content. A second response function that causes the client device 1 to update and display the screen.

  (f23-6) The second request reception function (f23-4) and the second response function (f23-5) are repeatedly executed until the screen is updated and displayed so as to include n contents in descending order of browsing index. Control function to control.

  Such browsing information update unit 22 and response processing unit 23 may be realized by, for example, a CPU (central processing unit) (not shown) executing a program including each step in server device 20 described later. The same applies to the following embodiments.

  Next, a content display method by the client server system configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 3 and the schematic diagram of FIG.

  First, the server device 20 publishes n or more contents in the storage unit 21 on the Web page to the client device 1 and other client devices (not shown). These client devices can browse the contents by accessing the Web page of the server device 20 as appropriate.

  In the server device 20, as shown in FIG. 3, the browsing information update unit 22 updates and stores history data indicating a history of browsing each of the n or more contents in the storage unit 21 (ST1). In many cases, the history data indicates a history in which each content is browsed from another client device (not shown) different from the client device 1.

  The browsing information update unit 22 also browses the file name of each of the n or more contents and a browsing index indicating the degree of browsing of each of the n or more contents based on the history data. The information 21a is updated and stored in the storage unit 21 (ST2).

  For example, a page view (PV), a unique user (UU), a daily active user (DAU), or a weekly active user (WAU) is used as the browsing index. For example, an access counter that counts the number of accesses to each content may be used for such browsing index measurement. As this type of access counter, the one having the function of excluding the same address (user identification information) and the one having no such function are appropriately defined as browsing index definitions (for example, PV, UU, DAU or WAU). Depending on the definition).

  In any case, it is assumed that the URL of the screen A is input by the operation of the user U in the client device 1 as shown in FIG. 4 while the history data and the browsing information 21a are updated and stored.

  At this time, the client device 1 transmits a request including the URL to the server device 2. Thereafter, the client device 1 displays a loading screen indicating that reading is in progress. The request including the URL of screen A corresponds to a data acquisition request for displaying screen A.

  In the server device 20, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the response processing unit 23 receives a data acquisition request for the display from the client device 1 (ST3).

  Based on the received data acquisition request and the browsing information 21a, the response processing unit 23 creates a web page including file names of n (= 5) contents a to e in descending order of browsing index, One content a associated with the largest browsing index is acquired (ST4). In addition, n = 5 is an example and is not limited to this.

  The response processing unit 23 responds (responses) the created web page and the acquired one content a to the client device 1, thereby the screen A including the one content a based on the web page. Is displayed on the client device 1 (ST5).

  Note that the processing of steps ST4 to ST5 is a case where a web page and content a of different files are responded to each other. .

  In this case, in step ST4, for example, a Web page template in which a script tag is described in advance in a part of HTML (hypertext markup language) code is stored in the storage unit 21, and the content is located at a position surrounded by the script tag. A web page is created by inserting the JavaScript code of a, and in step ST5, the web page created in step ST4 (a web page including the code of content a and the file names of content be) is returned. Good. Such modifications of steps ST4 to ST5 can be similarly performed in the following embodiments. However, the processes in steps ST4 to ST5 are not deformed here because they can respond more quickly without deformation.

  In any case, the response processing unit 23 issues a content acquisition request including one file name of unacquired content from the client device 1 in descending order of the browsing index among the file names in the responding Web page. Receive (ST6).

  The response processing unit 23 acquires one content based on the file name in the content acquisition request, and further includes the one content by responding to the client device 1 with the one content. The screen A is updated and displayed on the client device 1 (ST7).

  The response processing unit 23 repeatedly executes steps ST6 to ST7 until the screen A is updated and displayed so as to include n (= 5) contents in descending order of the browsing index (ST8).

  As described above, in the client device 1, the screen A is updated and displayed so as to include the five contents a to e in descending order of the browsing index.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, each content is displayed asynchronously according to the popularity of each content by the configuration in which the screen A is updated and displayed so as to sequentially include n content in descending order of browsing index. Can do.

  When the browsing index is a page view (PV), a unique user (UU), a daily active user (DAU), or a weekly active user (WAU), depending on the value of the PV, UU, DAU or WAU Each content can be displayed asynchronously.

  For example, when the browsing index is PV, each content can be displayed asynchronously according to the number of times the content has been browsed.

  When the browsing index is UU, each content can be displayed asynchronously according to the number of users who browsed the content.

  When the browsing index is DAU, each content can be displayed asynchronously according to the number of users per day who browse the content.

  When the browsing index is WAU, each content can be displayed asynchronously according to the number of users per week who browse the content.

<Second Embodiment>
Next, a content display method according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  The second embodiment is a modification of the first embodiment in which each content is displayed asynchronously according to the popularity of each content, and each content is displayed asynchronously according to the user's preference.

  Accordingly, the history data includes file names of each of the n or more contents and user identification information for identifying the client device 1 or identifying the user U of the client device 1.

  The browsing information 21a 'is information obtained by modifying the browsing information 21a shown in FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 5, user identification information is associated with each file name and browsing index. Note that the symbol “U1” in FIG. 5 abstractly represents user identification information (eg, IP address, account information, etc.) that identifies the client device 1 or identifies the user U of the client device 1 as described above. ing. This browsing index indicates the degree to which each of the n or more pieces of content has been browsed, and more specifically, is an index corresponding to a page view (PV) indicating the number of times the content has been browsed. In addition, since the browsing order is shown for the purpose of facilitating the understanding as described above, it may be omitted.

  The acquisition function (f23-2) of the response processing unit 23 includes the following functions (f23-2-1) and (f23-2-2).

  (f23-2-1) The browsing that matches the user identification information included in the data acquisition request among the user identification information in the browsing information 21a ′ based on the received data acquisition request and the browsing information 21a ′ A function of creating a Web page including file names of n contents in descending order of browsing index associated with the user identification information in the information 21a ′.

  (f23-2-2) A step of obtaining one content associated with the largest browsing index among the browsing indices associated with the user identification information in the matching browsing information 21a '.

  Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment.

  Next, a content display method by the client server system configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 6 and the schematic diagram of FIG. In the following description, substantially the same parts as those in FIG. 3 in the flowchart of FIG. 6 are denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof is omitted, and different parts are mainly described here. Similarly, the following embodiments are not described repeatedly. Further, the schematic diagram of FIG. 4 ignores the difference between the symbols “” ”,“ ”′”, “” ”attached to the right shoulder of the step ST number and the symbols“ 1 ”,“ 10 ”of the client device 1. These are commonly used in each embodiment.

  First, the server device 20 publishes n or more contents in the storage unit 21 on the Web page to the client device 1 and other client devices (not shown). These client devices can browse the contents by accessing the Web page of the server device 20 as appropriate.

  In the server device 20, the browsing information update unit 22 updates and stores history data indicating a history of browsing each of the n or more contents in the storage unit 21 (ST1 '). This history data includes the file name of each content and user identification information.

  In addition, the browsing information update unit 22 updates and stores browsing information 21 a ′ in which the user identification information, the file name of each content, and the browsing index of each content are associated with each other based on the history data. (ST2 ′).

  For example, a page view (PV) is used as the browsing index. For example, an access counter that counts the number of accesses to each content may be used for each user identification information for measuring the browsing index.

  In any case, in the state where the history data and the browsing information 21a ′ are updated and stored, the client device 1 performs a request including the URL of the screen A (for display of the screen A) by the operation of the user U as described above. (Data acquisition request) is transmitted to the server device 20. Thereafter, the client device 1 displays a loading screen indicating that reading is in progress.

  In the server device 20, as described above, the response processing unit 23 receives a data acquisition request for the display from the client device 1 (ST3).

  Based on the received data acquisition request and the browsing information 21a ′, the response processing unit 23 matches the user identification information included in the data acquisition request among the user identification information in the browsing information 21a ′. Web pages including file names of n (= 5) pieces of content a to e are created in descending order of the browsing index associated with the user identification information in the information 21a ′.

  Further, the response processing unit 23 acquires one content a associated with the largest browsing index among the browsing indexes associated with the user identification information in the matching browsing information 21a ′ (ST4 ′). . In addition, n = 5 is an example and is not limited to this.

  Through such steps ST1 ′ to ST4 ′, the server device 20 includes a web page including the file names of the contents a to e according to the user's preference and the contents a based on the user identification information and the browsing index. Can be obtained.

  Thereafter, steps ST5 to ST8 are executed as described above.

  Thereby, in the client apparatus 1, the screen A is updated and displayed so as to include the five contents a to e in descending order of the browsing index associated with the user identification information.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the screen A is updated and displayed so as to sequentially include the n contents in descending order of the browsing index associated with the user identification information. Can be displayed asynchronously.

<Third Embodiment>
Next, a content display method according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  The third embodiment is a modification of the first embodiment in which each content is displayed asynchronously according to the popularity of each content, and each content is displayed asynchronously according to the user's preference. However, it is assumed that the user's preference does not correspond to the degree of browsing (browsing index) but corresponds to the date and time of browsing (browsing date and time) as in the second embodiment. In other words, it is assumed that the user prefers the content with a new browsing date, not the user who prefers the content with a large browsing index.

  Accordingly, the history data identifies the file name of each of the n or more contents, the browsing date and time indicating the date and time when each of the n or more contents is browsed, and identifies the client apparatus 1 or the client apparatus 1 User identification information for identifying the user.

  The browsing information 21a is omitted.

  Similarly, the browsing information update unit 22 has the history data update function (f22-1) described above, and the browsing information update function (f22-2) is omitted. Note that “browsing information update unit 22” may be read as “history data update unit 22”.

  Further, the response processing unit 23 uses the history data instead of the browsing information 21a as described in each step ST4 ″, ST6 ″ and ST8 ″ described later, Each function described above is changed in that

  Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment.

  Next, a content display method by the client server system configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 7 and the schematic diagram of FIG.
