Description

  The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing system, an information processing method, and a program.

  Conventionally, a so-called meta search (hereinafter also referred to as “meta search”) for performing a search across a plurality of search engines is known. A function or program for executing a meta search is called a meta search engine or a meta search engine.

  For example, in the case of travel plan sales provided by travel agency companies, users can search for accommodation plans provided by travel agency companies across the above-mentioned meta search using keywords such as date and time, hotel name, etc. Systems that display on a terminal are known.

  Regarding the above, for example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 describe that a plurality of sales plans searched by performing the meta search are displayed in a list.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-24282 JP 2004-192357 A

  By the way, the reason that the sales status such as vacancy status provided by sales companies such as travel agencies is reflected in the meta database that is the search source by meta search is the reason that the number of products and services provided is enormous In many cases, the update operation is delayed because it takes several hours. That is, conventionally, it is difficult on the system to update the data for displaying the displayed accommodation plan in real time.

  Therefore, for example, even if the sales status such as “Availability available” is displayed in the search result by meta search, if you move to the site of the sales company to actually make a reservation, it may be “End of sale” is there. Therefore, the user feels stress in such a situation.

  The present invention has been made in view of such a situation, and an object of the present invention is to reduce a user's stress in information retrieval.

  In order to solve the above-described problem, the present invention provides a communication unit that receives a product list of a product provided from a distributor that sells a predetermined product from the management device, and a product list received by the communication unit on the display unit. Product information for identifying the product included in the provider information using the control means to display and the provider identification information for obtaining the provider information provided by the seller selling the products included in the product list And determining means for determining whether or not the product information acquired by the acquiring means includes end-of-sale information indicating the end of sales of the product. When it is determined that the sales end information is included in the information, among the product displays corresponding to the products included in the product list displayed on the display unit, it is determined that the sales end information is included. Characterized by adding discontinued indications indicating discontinued the product display corresponding to the product specified by the information.

  An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In addition, in each figure, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the part which is the same or it corresponds, The duplication description is simplified or abbreviate | omitted suitably. In the following, the information processing apparatus according to the present embodiment will be described using a portable information terminal such as a smartphone. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be a personal computer (hereinafter referred to as “PC”). It may be a tablet PC, PDA, or other device having an information processing function. In the present embodiment, for example, an application program (hereinafter simply referred to as “application”) incorporating an information processing function described below is preferably realized by a portable information terminal such as a smartphone or a personal computer.

  In the following description, examples of travel plans or accommodation plans sold by a travel company will be used. However, the present invention is not limited to this example. For example, a product sold by a merchandise company or an auction company sells it. It may be applicable to used tickets, used goods, etc., such as airplane tickets sold by airlines. Further, the present invention is not limited to the sale of merchandise, and may be applied to the provision of services (services). In the present invention, the “sales agency that sells the product” is used, but this also includes the concept of the provider that provides the service. “Sales” includes reservations, procedures for selling, orders, and the like.

  First, a schematic configuration of an information processing system 1 including an information processing apparatus and a management apparatus according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Note that FIG. 1 is an exemplification, and it is needless to say that the configuration is not limited thereto.

  The information processing system 1 in this embodiment includes a PC 10a and a smartphone 10b as information processing apparatuses, a meta search server 30 as a management apparatus, and a meta database 40. The PC 10a and the smartphone 10b are connected to the meta search server 30 via a network 20 such as a LAN or a WAN. In the following description, the smartphone 10b is used as the information processing apparatus.

  The PC 10a and the smartphone 10b as information processing apparatuses, and the meta search server 30 as a management apparatus have a hardware configuration such as a CPU, RAM, ROM, HDD, various interfaces, and a configuration for realizing the information processing function. Needless to say, it has.

  The meta database 40 is a storage device that stores accommodation plan information, which is product information provided by each company from the PC 50a and PC 50b, which are travel agency terminals. Needless to say, the name of the database is merely used as an example of a storage application for storing each information, and is not limited to this. Further, it may be simply replaced with a storage device such as a storage device or a hard disk for storing data specifying product information such as accommodation plan information. Note that the PCs 50a and 50b, which are travel agency terminals, store provider information such as HTML documents that describe websites including product information such as accommodation plan information in the web servers 60a and 60b owned by the respective companies.

  The meta search server 30 extracts accommodation plan information including information that matches the search keyword input to the smartphone 10b from the meta database 40, and transmits the extracted accommodation plan information and the accommodation plan information list to the smartphone 10b. The meta search server 30 includes a list generation unit as a list generation unit and a communication unit as a transmission unit.

  Specifically, the list generation unit generates an accommodation plan information list based on a plurality of accommodation plan information included in a website described by an HTML document provided by each travel agency that is a distributor. A communication part transmits the accommodation plan information list according to the request | requirement from the smart phone 10b to the smart phone 10b.

  Next, functional blocks of the information processing apparatus in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The information processing apparatus 10 in this embodiment includes a communication unit 11, a control unit 12, an acquisition unit 13, and a determination unit 14 as functional blocks.

  The communication unit 11 is a communication unit that receives from the meta search server 30 an accommodation plan information list of the accommodation plan provided by a travel agency that sells the accommodation plan.

  The control unit 12 is a control unit that displays the accommodation plan information list received from the meta search server 30 by the communication unit 11 on the display unit 15. In the present embodiment, it is preferable to display the accommodation plan information list on the display unit 15 of the smartphone 10b from the viewpoint of easy viewing of the display contents. However, on the other hand, the display size of the PC or the like is a smartphone or the like. In an apparatus larger than that of the portable terminal, it may be displayed in a predetermined size so as not to impair visibility, even if it is not displayed on the full screen.

  The acquisition unit 13 acquires the accommodation plan information included in the website by using, for example, a URL for acquiring a website provided by a travel agency that sells the accommodation plans included in the accommodation plan information list. It is. The URL specifies a sales agency server 60 of a travel agency that stores an HTML document or the like describing the website. The accommodation plan information preferably includes at least an accommodation plan name and vacancy status information in addition to the URL. The accommodation plan information may appropriately include information necessary for the product / service, such as a hotel name, a hotel location, and the presence or absence of a meal.

  The determination unit 14 is a determination unit that determines whether or not the accommodation plan information acquired by the acquisition unit 13 includes sales end information indicating the end of sales of the accommodation plan. The sales end information includes, for example, character information such as “No corresponding accommodation plan found” described in the keyword area in the HTML document describing the accommodation plan information, symbols such as “×” and “−” A mark, color, or the like is preferable. Depending on the travel agency, the vacancy status may be indicated by the number of vacant rooms in the calendar notation. In such a case, for example, whether or not the sales end information is included may be determined based on the fact that an integer of 1 or more is not described on the corresponding day. Furthermore, even if the sales end information is not directly indicative of the end of sales, for example, when the end of sales is defined in two or more description languages in HTML, the end of sales is determined based on these. It is good to do. Specifically, in the above calendar notation, the availability of vacancies is indicated by XX etc. corresponding to the date of the month, and XX also corresponds to dates other than the date specified by the user as the staying date. Even in the case of being displayed on HTML, for example, the date field of the date designated by the user as the staying date may be described in orange or the like, and the user may change the color depending on the displayed color. May determine the date designated as the accommodation date, and determine whether or not sales end information such as xx is associated with the date.

  The travel agency often changes the keyword or the like as the sales end information to another keyword or the like. If a keyword or the like is changed without a plan, the determination function by the determination unit 14 will not function. In order to prevent this, in the present embodiment, for example, the communication unit 11 includes a website provided by the travel company or the travel company together with the accommodation plan information list or separately from the meta search server 30, and a keyword. The determination unit 14 determines whether or not the sales end information is included based on the determination information received from the meta search server 30. preferable. As another example, it is preferable that the determination unit 14 determines that the keyword has been changed when detecting a mismatch of the corresponding keyword, acquires a new keyword from the meta search server 30, and updates the keyword.

  The control unit 12 corresponds to each of a plurality of accommodation plans included in the accommodation plan information list displayed on the display unit 15 when the determination unit 14 determines that the accommodation plan information includes the sale end information. Of the accommodation plan display, a sales end display indicating the end of sales is added to the accommodation plan display corresponding to the accommodation plan specified by the accommodation plan information determined to include the sales end information.

  The “sales end display” refers to, for example, a shaded mask display that is displayed so as to be superimposed on the accommodation plan display of an accommodation plan that has been discontinued. Details of the shaded mask display will be described later. The shaded mask display is merely an example, and the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a display of “x” mark or “end of sale” may be superimposed on the display area.

  In addition, the control unit 12 determines a plurality of accommodation plans included in the accommodation plan information list displayed on the display unit 15 when the determination unit 14 determines that it is impossible to confirm whether the accommodation plan information includes sale end information. Of the accommodation plan displays corresponding to each, it is preferable to add a display indicating that the sale is not confirmed to the accommodation plan display corresponding to the accommodation plan specified by the accommodation plan information determined to be unconfirmable. Whether or not confirmation is possible, for example, in the accommodation plan information included in the website provided by the travel agency that sells the accommodation plan, a keyword indicating the end of sale is output in JavaScript (registered trademark) or the like, and HTML If the display is not output at the source, the end of sales cannot be easily determined, and therefore it is determined that the end of sales cannot be determined. The determination may be made by using a technique for decoding a keyword indicating the end of sales displayed and output by JavaScript (registered trademark) or the like.

“Sales end unconfirmed display” is added to the accommodation plan display of an accommodation plan for which it is impossible to confirm whether or not the sales end, for example, as described later. Or any other mark. In addition, "? Instead of a mark such as “” or the like, the indication “cannot be confirmed” may be superimposed on the accommodation plan display.
Further, when the determination unit 14 determines that the accommodation plan information does not include the sales end information, and the determination unit 14 does not determine whether the accommodation plan information includes the sales end information. Among the accommodation plan displays corresponding to the accommodation plans included in the accommodation plan information list displayed on the display unit 15, there is no sale end information and the accommodation plan information that has not been determined to be unconfirmable (that is, can be sold) A sale possible display may be added to the accommodation plan display corresponding to the specified accommodation plan.
Furthermore, the “saleable display” may be a mark such as “Re” added to the accommodation plan display of the accommodation plan that can be sold, for example, as will be described later. In place of a mark such as “Le”, a display “available for sale” may be superimposed on the accommodation plan display.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the control part 12 displays the selection reception display which receives selection operation by the user for selecting the valid or invalid of the determination function by the determination part 14 on the display part 15. FIG. The “selection acceptance display” is, for example, “real-time vacancy confirmation” as described later, and is a display of a check box or the like for selecting whether the determination function is valid or invalid in the vicinity of the display area. Is preferred. That is, by checking this check box, the “real-time vacancy confirmation” function, which is a determination function, can be validated. However, even if this check box is not checked, it is executed until the determination unit 14 determines whether the accommodation plan information includes sales end information, such as “sales end display”, “sales end unconfirmed display”, etc. The display may not be executed. When the “real-time vacancy confirmation” check box is checked for the first time, a pop-up explaining display information superimposed or added to the accommodation plan information may be displayed. Thereby, even a user who uses “real-time vacancy confirmation” for the first time can immediately understand the display contents.

  Furthermore, it is preferable that the control unit 12 displays a use promotion display that prompts the user to use the determination function by the determination unit 14 in the vicinity of the selection reception display. The “promotion display” is, for example, as described later, “There is a possibility that the sales end plan will be displayed. We recommend using real-time vacancy confirmation. It is preferable that the pop-up display prompts the user to use a “real-time availability check” function such as “”. The above display is, for example, the accommodation corresponding to the accommodation plan included in the accommodation plan information list displayed on the display unit 15 as a result of determining whether the accommodation plan information is included in the accommodation plan information by the determination unit 14 If there is accommodation plan information that is determined to include end-of-sale information in the plan display, the user may display the "real-time vacancy confirmation" display area by moving the mouse over the mouse, or Either of them may be displayed at all times until the check box is checked.

  Next, an application display example displayed on the display unit 15 of the smartphone 10b in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. It should be noted that this diagram is an example and is not limited to this display example.

  The display unit 15 selects, in order from the top, an image 101 of accommodations displayed at random, a keyword input field 103 for inputting a search keyword, and a desired destination to be selected or selected from separately displayed selection items. Destination input field 104, a desired stay date is entered or a stay date input field 105 for selecting a corresponding day from a separately displayed calendar display, a room type for inputting a desired room type (for example, double room × 1 room) An input field 106 and a budget input field 107 for inputting a desired budget are displayed. In the lowermost column, a search button 108 for confirming the search with the input contents to these corresponding items and a clear button 109 for resetting the input contents are displayed. Note that the facility name of the accommodation facility (here “XXX Hotel”) and the accommodation fee (here “¥ 4500”) are displayed on the upper right of the image 101.

  In addition, for example, the image 101 of the accommodation facility may be slid left and right at regular intervals to sequentially display the image images of different accommodation facilities, but the displayed image image of the accommodation facility may be faded out at regular intervals. After that, even if the image image of another accommodation facility is displayed by fade-in, or the image image of another accommodation facility is displayed so as to overlap the displayed image image of the accommodation facility at regular intervals. Alternatively, other display modes may be used. And it is good also as changing directly to the display screen of the accommodation plan information of the accommodation facility currently displayed as the image image 101 by selecting the image image 101 by mouse operation etc. FIG.

  Next, an example of a search result display that transitions when the search button 108 is pressed on the startup screen of FIG. 3 will be described with reference to FIG. It should be noted that this diagram is also an example and is not limited to this display example.

  On the display unit 15, as a search result, the accommodation destination display 111 with “XXX hotel ¥ 4500” and the corresponding image image 121 and the accommodation destination display with “▲▲▲ IN ¥ 5000” are displayed in order from the top. 112 and corresponding image image 122, accommodation destination display 113 with “□□□ Villa ¥ 5500-” and corresponding image image 123, accommodation display 114 with “■■■ inn ¥ 6000-” and corresponding image image 124, the accommodation destination display 115 with “●●● hotel ¥ 6500˜” and the corresponding image image 125, the accommodation destination indication 116 with “△△△ in ¥ 70000”, and the corresponding image image 126 are displayed. Yes.

  Next, referring to FIG. 5, a display example after product selection that transitions when an accommodation destination display of a desired accommodation facility or a corresponding image is selected in FIG. 4 will be described. Here, description will be made assuming that either the accommodation destination display 111 with “XX hotel ¥ 4500” or the corresponding image 121 is selected. It should be noted that this diagram is also an example and is not limited to this display example.

  The display unit 15 shows, as a post-product selection display, in order from the top, the accommodation destination display 211 representing the selected “XXX hotel”, the corresponding image image 221 and the location such as an address, map information, and grade Information display column 212, selection content display column 213 for displaying the selection content in FIG. 3, “real-time vacancy confirmation” display 214 and check box column 222, accommodation plan information 215, accommodation plan information 216, and accommodation plan information 217, It is displayed.

  Here, accommodation plan information 215 is “Breakfast-free plan A company 1 night ¥ 4500”, accommodation plan information 216 is “Breakfast plan B company 1 night ¥ 60000”, and accommodation plan information 217 is “Long Stay Plan C Company 1” “Right ¥ 8000-”, but it goes without saying that these are examples. Here, when the user selects the display of “no breakfast plan A company 1 night ¥ 4500” as the accommodation plan information 215 by a touch operation or the like, the user stays from the web server 60a or 60b of the travel agency. Plan information is acquired and displayed on the display unit 15. Here, the check box column 222 of the “real-time vacancy confirmation” display 214 is not checked. The above-mentioned “Company A”, “Company B”, and “Company C” indicate the names of websites of travel agencies that provide each accommodation plan information.

  Next, an example of a promotion display that promotes the “real-time vacancy confirmation” function will be described with reference to FIG. Here, for example, “There is a possibility that the plan of sales end will be displayed. We recommend using real-time vacancy confirmation. ] Is displayed in a balloon shape superimposed on the display unit 15. In this example, the promotion display is displayed as if it is always displayed. However, the display is not limited to this, and a selection icon (not shown) is displayed on the “real-time vacancy confirmation” display 214 by a mouse-over operation by the user. A promotion display may be displayed when moved. Moreover, you may display a promotion display for every fixed time so that browsing of the display content of the display part 15 may not be inhibited.

  Next, a display example after the vacancy confirmation check when the “real-time vacancy confirmation” function is enabled will be described with reference to FIG. That is, here, the check box column 222 of the “real-time vacancy confirmation” display 214 is checked.

  By checking the check box 222, for example, when it is determined by the determination unit 14 that there is no vacancy of the “no breakfast plan A company 1 night ¥ 4500” which is the accommodation plan information 215, the accommodation plan information 215 is displayed. A shaded mask is displayed in the column. As a result, the user can recognize that there is no vacancy in the plan.

  On the other hand, if there is a vacancy available for sale, a check mark 250 may be displayed in the display column of “Breakfast plan B company per night ¥ 6000” which is the accommodation plan information 216.

  In addition, regarding “long stay plan C company 1 night ¥ 8000-” which is the accommodation plan information 217, if the sale end information is not confirmed even if the determination by the determination unit 14 is performed, ? Is displayed. As a result, the user confirms the vacancy information of the corresponding plan after actually selecting the accommodation plan information 217 and moving to the website of Company C, but confirming that it cannot be confirmed. However, it is possible to reduce user stress.

  Next, a processing procedure in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  The communication unit 11 transmits the input keyword to the meta search server 30 (step S2).

  The meta search server 30 acquires a plurality of accommodation plan information including information matching the keyword from the meta database 40 using the received input keyword (step S3). And the metasearch server 30 produces | generates the accommodation plan information list containing the some of the acquired accommodation plan information by a list production | generation means (step S4).

  The meta search server 30 transmits the accommodation plan information list to the smartphone 10b through its communication means (step S5). Here, the meta search server 30 may transmit a keyword or determination information necessary for determination.

  When the smartphone 10b receives the accommodation plan information list from the communication unit 11, the smartphone 10b displays the list on the display unit 15 (step S6).

  The acquisition unit 13 of the smartphone 10b uses the URL linked to the travel company web server 60a or 60b that provides the accommodation plan information corresponding to each accommodation plan included in the accommodation plan information list to use the travel company web server. Accommodation plan information is acquired from 60a or 60b (step S7).

  The determination unit 14 determines whether or not the sale end information is included in the acquired accommodation plan information (step S8). Here, the determination is made using a keyword or determination information necessary for the determination received from the meta search server 30.

The control unit 12 determines whether or not the real-time vacancy confirmation function is valid (step S9). When it is determined that the real-time vacancy confirmation function is valid (step S9, YES), the control unit 12 is displayed. In the accommodation plan information list, the determination unit 14 performs a shading mask process as a sales end display so as to overlap the display of the accommodation plan determined to include the sales end information in the accommodation plan information ( Step S10).
Moreover, the control part 12 is a predetermined | prescribed location (in the accommodation plan in which it was determined by the determination part 14 that it was impossible to confirm whether the sale end information was included in the accommodation plan information in the displayed accommodation plan information list ( For example, “? May be displayed (step S10).

  Further, in the accommodation plan information list that is displayed, the control unit 12 determines that the sale end information is not included by the determination unit 14 and includes the sale end information in the accommodation plan information. “Re” as a display indicating that sales are possible may be displayed at a predetermined location (for example, a location indicated by reference numeral 250 in FIG. 7) of the accommodation plan that has not been determined to be unrecognizable. When it is determined that the real-time vacancy confirmation function is not valid (step S9, NO), these pieces of information are not displayed (step S11).

  Thereafter, when the predetermined accommodation plan information is selected by a touch operation or the like, in the control unit 12, the acquisition unit 13 accesses the web server 60a or 60b via the in-app browser. And the acquisition part 13 accesses the web server 60a or 60b, and acquires the data of the page on which accommodation plan information is published. The control unit 12 displays a page on which the acquired accommodation plan information is posted on the display unit 15.

  If the user likes the accommodation plan, the user enters information necessary for the reservation on the displayed web server 60a or 60b, and performs a reservation procedure or a purchase procedure of the accommodation plan. Note that the reservation procedure, purchase procedure, etc. are realized by the function of the WEB server of the travel agency.
