The storage unit 11 also stores, for example, a user identifier group. It is a set of user identifiers identifying each user of two or more user terminals 2. The user identifier will be described later.

  The page storage unit 111 stores one or more pages. A page is a page for purchasing goods via the internet. The page is, for example, a page of a website (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a site) or a page of an application (hereinafter sometimes referred to as an application), but the type is not limited. Note that, for one application, for example, there may be two or more types of applications such as an application operating on a PC or an application operating on a mobile terminal. The page may be considered to include the concept of so-called blocks, small pairs, and so on.

  The page contains one or more item information. Merchandise information is information on goods. The product information has a product identifier. The product identifier is information for identifying a product. The product identifier is, for example, a product name (for example, a black pen, a red pen, etc.), an ID (for example, a part number, etc.), etc., but any information that can identify the product may be used. The product information also includes, for example, an image, text, and the like. The image is data of an image related to a product, and is, for example, data such as a photo, a moving image, an illustration, and CG. The text is data of characters related to the product, and is, for example, data such as a description and a price. The text may be, for example, "one 100 yen" or "three 200 yen". Product identifiers such as product names and product numbers are usually text.

  It is preferable that the product information be hierarchized into two or more layers, such as summary information and detailed information, for example. In that case, a hierarchy identifier (for example, "Summary", "Details", "upper rank", "middle rank", "lower rank", etc.) for identifying a hierarchy is associated with the item information. The outline information preferably includes, for example, one or more types of information of a photograph of the appearance of the product or an explanatory text of the outline of the product. The detailed information preferably includes, for example, one or more types of information of a picture of a detail of a product or a detailed description of a product.

  In addition, a page usually includes two or more pieces of position information (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as a product position information group) indicating the position of each item information in the page. Each component position information constituting the product position information group is, for example, coordinates such as (x1, y1), (x2, y2),... This applies to each part position information which constitutes a part position information group which will be described later, and to focus position information which will be described later. Further, the various information groups described in the present embodiment also include the case where the information group is formed of only one information.

  Also, a page usually includes two or more UI components. The UI component is a component that configures a user interface for the user to input information on ordering of goods into the computer. Information on orders includes, for example, instructions, quantities, etc., but is not limited thereto. The UI parts are, for example, buttons, fields, and the like. The button is, for example, a purchase button for inputting an instruction to purchase a product desired by the user, a detail button for inputting an instruction to display detailed information of the product, or the like, regardless of the type. The fields are, for example, an input field for inputting the quantity of the product, two or more check boxes for selecting the attribute value of the product, and the like. The attribute value is, for example, a color, a size, etc., but is not limited thereto. In this case, the page also includes two or more pieces of position information (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as a part position information group) indicating the position of each UI component in the page.

  Note that two or more UI components as described above may be associated with each of one or more pieces of product information in a page. Hereinafter, a set of two or more UI components associated with one item of product information may be described as a UI component group. In this case, it is preferable that, for example, the component position information group described above corresponds to each of two or more UI component groups in the page.

  The page storage unit 111 normally stores two or more pages. In this case, the page is usually associated with a page identifier that identifies the page. When two or more stored pages are pages of any of two or more sites, the page further corresponds to a site identifier that identifies the site to which the page belongs. Good. Similarly, when each of the stored two or more pages is a page of any of the two or more applications, the page further corresponds to an application identifier that identifies the application to which the page belongs. You may

  The receiving unit 12 receives various types of information. The various information is, for example, input information.

  The input information receiving unit 121 receives input information from the user terminal 2. The input information is voice generated by the user or information composed of the voice. The information configured from speech may be waveform data indicating a waveform of speech, or text data indicating a character string obtained by speech recognition of the waveform data. The string also includes the case of only one character. The input information from the user terminal 2 is preferably text data, but may be waveform data.

  The input information receiving unit 121 normally receives input information from the user terminal 2 as a pair with a user identifier that identifies the user of the user terminal 2. The user identifier may be, for example, an ID, an e-mail address, or a terminal identifier for identifying the user terminal 2. The terminal identifier is, for example, a MAC address, an IP address or the like. The user identifier may be any information as long as it can identify the user.

  Note that receiving or transmitting in pairs also includes the case where input information to be received or transmitted has a user identifier. This also applies to the transmission and reception of pages described later.

  The processing unit 13 performs various processes. The various processes are, for example, processes of the product information determination unit 131, the focus moving unit 132, the purchase information acquisition unit 133, the page generation unit 134, and the like. The various processes include various determinations described in the flowchart. In addition, the processing unit 13 has, for example, a voice recognition function, and when the received input information is waveform data, voice recognition processing that is voice recognition of the waveform data and acquiring text data. Is preferred. The commodity information determination unit 131 and the purchase information acquisition unit 133 receive the text data thus received or acquired as input information.

  In addition, the processing unit 13 is, for example, one or more of one or more item information included in one or more pages stored in the page storage unit 111, or input information accepted by the input information accepting unit 121. It is preferable to acquire a product identifier group to be described later, a purchase information database to be described later, and the like by performing natural language processing such as machine learning, data mining, deep learning or the like on information. Note that such natural language processing is a known technique, and the description thereof is omitted.

  The processing unit 13 executes various processes for each of one or more users using the user identifier received in pairs with the input information. However, since various processes to be executed are common to all users, and various processes for each user can be executed, for example, in parallel or in time division, in principle, in the following, the user identifier The various processes performed for one user will be described without mentioning This is also true for the operation of the transmission unit 14 described later.

  The product information determination unit 131 determines product information corresponding to the input information. The product information determination unit 131 may determine product information corresponding to the input information, for example, by searching all or part of two or more pages stored in the page storage unit 111. Although a part is usually the page currently output with the user terminal 2, it may be pages other than this.

  For example, the product information determination unit 131 searches the page with the character string indicated by the input information, and matches the partial character string with the character string, or contains product information including a character string that is similar enough to be considered to match. It may be detected.

  Alternatively, for example, the product information determination unit 131 may select one or more product information items included in one or more pages stored in the page storage unit 111 or one or more input information items received by the input information reception unit 121. It holds a product identifier group that is a set of two or more product identifiers acquired from the above information, searches the product identifier group with the character string indicated by the input information, and matches or partially matches the character string A product identifier may be detected that contains a string that matches or can be considered as a match. The product identifier group may be held in advance by, for example, the purchase information acquisition unit 133, or may be acquired by the processing unit 13 by natural language processing.

  Specifically, the product identifier group is made up of product identifiers such as "pen", "red pen", "blue pen", ..., and "red pen, 3 pens" are voice-inputted by the user. In this case, the product information determination unit 131 selects a product identifier group for each of the two character strings “red pen” and “3 pens” included in the input information “red pen, 3 pens” which is the corresponding text data. Product information corresponding to the “red pen” may be acquired from the page storage unit 111 in response to the search and the former character string being detected.

  The focus moving unit 132 moves the focus to the product information determined by the product information determining unit 131. Generally, with focus, for example, a state in which one item of product information is selected from a page, and input of various instructions, quantities, attribute values (for example, color, size, etc.) corresponding to the item information becomes possible. Say. Selecting one item of product information also includes the case of selecting one of the UI components among the UI components corresponding to the one item of product information. Selecting one item of product information from the page and enabling input of an instruction or the like corresponding to the item information is referred to as, for example, "focus product information". Further, moving the focus to the determined product information (hereinafter sometimes referred to as focus movement) is to move the focus on one product information to another product information.

  However, the focus in the form of the present embodiment does not necessarily require selection of one item of product information, and is widely understood. For example, even if a page including the product information determined by the product information determination unit 131 is simply displayed and no product information in the page is selected, it may be said that the determined product information is focused . Also, such a case may be referred to as, for example, “the page is focused”. The movement of focus may be moving the focus currently on one page to another page.

  The focus may be on the entire product information (for example, a product identifier, an image, and a text), or may be on a part of the product information (for example, a product identifier). Also, the focus may be on a UI part group (for example, an input field and a purchase button) associated with the item information, or on one of the UI parts (for example, an input field). Similarly, the destination of the focus may be all or part of another item information, a UI component group associated with another item information, or one of the UI components.

  Also, while focus movement is usually movement within a page, movement between pages is also possible. Movement between pages is usually movement between pages within one site or app, but movement from pages of one site or app to pages of another site or app may also be possible. One site or app may be, for example, a site or app for a smart phone of an EC store, and another site may be, for example, a site or app for a PC of the EC shop. However, the type of site or app does not matter.

  Specifically, the focus moving unit 132 holds, for example, focus information which is information indicating the current focus target. The focus information has a component identifier that identifies the UI component currently in focus. The focus information usually also has a page identifier that identifies the page that contains the part that is currently in focus, and also identifies the site identifier that identifies the site that contains the page, or the application that contains the page. It may also have an app identifier.

  Furthermore, it is preferable that the focus information also have, for example, position information (hereinafter sometimes referred to as focus position information) indicating the position of the current focus in the page. The focus position information may be transmitted from, for example, the user terminal 2. Alternatively, from the component position information group held by the focus moving unit 132, position information corresponding to a component identifier or the like included in the focus information may be acquired.

  The focus moving unit 132 manages such focus information for each of one or more users. The focus moving unit 132 can realize the movement of the focus in the user terminal 2 of each user by changing the focus information corresponding to the user identifier received in a pair with the input information.

  When the UI parts group corresponds to two or more pieces of product information, the focus moving unit 132 is a UI component that receives the next action for purchasing the product information determined by the product information determining unit 131 and is determined in advance. It is preferable to move the focus to a UI widget of the specified type. The next action to purchase is, for example, pressing of a button, input to a field, or the like. The type is the type of UI component as described above (for example, button, field, purchase button, detail button, input field, check box, etc.), and the predetermined type is, for example, one of such types. It is one. Such types may have order. Ordering refers to the sequence (eg, product information, input fields, and purchases) to which focus is to be moved with respect to a series of actions for purchasing (eg, product selection, quantity input, and purchase instructions). Order like a button).

  It is preferable that the predetermined type of UI component is, for example, a UI component corresponding to information required to purchase a product or information having high priority. The high priority may be, for example, the highest priority or the priority may be higher than a threshold. This type of UI component is, for example, an input field into which the quantity of a product to be purchased is input, a purchase button for inputting a purchase instruction, and the like, but is not limited thereto. In the following, UI components of a predetermined type are assumed to be input fields.

  Further, the focus moving unit 132 is, for example, purchase information acquired by the purchase information acquisition unit 133 described later using the input information in an input field corresponding to the product information determined by the product information determination unit 131 using the input information. It is preferable to substitute and move the focus to the item information.

  For example, when the input information is “red pen, three”, the item information determination unit 131 may input, for example, a phrase point or the like after the character string corresponding to the “red pen” in the first half of the input information is input. The character string is compared with the held product identifier group, triggered by the detection of a reading point or space. As a result of comparison, since the attribute name “red pen” corresponding to the character string is included in the product identifier group, the product information determination unit 131 acquires the attribute name “red pen” from the product identifier group, and the page The page stored in the storage unit 111 is searched to determine product information including the attribute name “red pen”. On the other hand, the purchase information acquisition unit 133 uses the phrase points as a trigger to compare the character string with the stored purchase information database, but the character string corresponding to the character string is not included in the purchase information database From that point we don't get anything at this point.

  The product information determination unit 131 may, for example, compare the input character string with the product identifier group each time one character is newly input. The character string that has already been input is, for example, "red" when "red" is input, and "red" when the next "p" is input, and the next "n" is It is "red pen" in the point which was input. Similarly, for example, every time one character is newly input, the purchase information acquisition unit 133 may compare the input character string with the purchase information database.

  Thereafter, in response to the input of the character string corresponding to the latter half “3”, the product information determination unit 131 compares the character string with the stored product identifier group, but the character string Since the corresponding character string is not included in the product identifier group, nothing is acquired at this point. On the other hand, since the purchase information acquisition unit 133 compares the character string with the purchase information database, and the purchase information “3” corresponding to the character string is included in the purchase information database, the purchase information “3” To get The focus moving unit 132 moves the focus to the product information determined in this way or the input field associated with the product information, and automatically inputs the acquired purchase information “three” into the input field.

  Further, when the product information determination unit 131 determines two or more pieces of product information, the focus moving unit 132 selects the product information of the position having the least movement from the current focus position among the determined two or more pieces of product information. Moving the focus is preferred. Specifically, each of the two or more pieces of product information has the product position information described above, and the focus moving unit 132 holds the focus information having the focus position information described above. When the product information determining unit 131 determines two or more pieces of product information, the focus moving unit 132 has, for example, the two or more pieces of product information determined from the current focus position indicated by the held focus position information. The distance to each position indicated by the item position information is calculated. Then, the focus moving unit 132 may determine that the movement to the product information corresponding to the shortest distance among the calculated two or more distances is the smallest, and may move the focus to the product information.

  The focus moving unit 132 calculates the distance as described above, for example, from the product information immediately below the product information for which the focus is on, within the page including the product information for which the current focus is initially applied. It may be started and interrupted when the product information at the bottom of the page is reached. After that, the focus moving unit 132 resumes the calculation of the distance, for example, from the product information immediately above the product information for which the focus is on, within the page, and reaches the product information on the top of the page. You may proceed to In the next page, the focus moving unit 132 may start calculating the distance from the product information at the upper end, and move to the previous page when the lower end of the next page is reached. In the previous page, the focus moving unit 132 may start calculating the distance from the product information at the lower end, and may move to the next page of the next page when the upper end of the previous page is reached. . As described above, the focus moving unit 132 first moves the target of distance calculation up and down from the current focus position within the page including the current focus position, and further expands the target to the upper and lower pages. It is suitable. However, for example, the focus moving unit 132 first moves the target of distance calculation downward from the current focus position within the page including the current focus position, and enlarges the next page, and the last page After reaching, the user may return to the page including the current focus position, move upward from the current focus position within the page, expand to the previous page, and reach the top page. Also, the upper and lower in the above description regarding the calculation of the distance may be reversed, or may be replaced with left and right.

  The product information at the position where the movement is the least from the current focus position is usually from the focus among two or more product information in the page on which the current focus exists (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the current page) Is the closest item information.

  The product information of pages other than the current page (hereinafter sometimes referred to as other pages) is considered to be farther from the focus than any product information in the current page. In addition, the product information of sites or apps other than the site or app including the current page (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as the current site or app) (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as another site or app) is the current It is considered far from the focus than any product information on the site or app.

  If, for example, the determined two or more pieces of product information include only one piece of product information in the current page, the focus moving unit 132 may set the product information as the move destination of the focus. In addition, for example, when the determined two or more pieces of product information include two or more pieces of product information in the current page, the focus moving unit 132 detects position information included in the focus information and the determined two or more pieces of product information. The distance between the current focus and each item information is calculated using the position information of each item information in the current page among them, and the item information corresponding to the shortest distance is used as the movement destination of the focus It is suitable.

  When the determined two or more product information does not include any product information in the current page but includes one or more product information of other pages, the focus moving unit 132 may, for example, Alternatively, one of the product information items may be used as the destination of the focus. Also, in the case where the determined two or more product information does not include any product information of the current site or application, but includes one or more product information of other sites or applications, the focus moving unit 132 One of the one or more pieces of product information may be used as the movement destination of the focus. In any case, the focus moving unit 132 may, for example, randomly select one of the one or more item information, or may select it according to a predetermined algorithm. The predetermined algorithm may, for example, select product information including price information indicating the lowest price or the highest price, or may select price information stored at the beginning, regardless of the procedure. .

  The purchase information acquisition unit 133 acquires purchase information. The purchase information is information used to purchase a product. The purchase information is generally included in the input information received by the input information reception unit 121, and the purchase information acquisition unit 133 acquires the purchase information from the received input information. Specifically, the purchase information acquisition unit 133 holds, for example, a purchase information database in which two or more pieces of purchase information such as “one”, “two”, “three”,. When "red pen, 3" is given as the information, the purchase information database is searched to acquire "3" of purchase information. For example, the purchase information acquisition unit 133 may hold the purchase information database in advance, or the processing unit 13 may acquire the purchase information database by natural language processing.

  When the product information determination unit 131 determines two or more pieces of product information, the page generation unit 134 generates a page including the two or more product information. The page generation unit 134 holds, for example, page generation information, and generates the page using the page generation information. The page generation information is information for generating a page having two or more appropriate number of pieces of product information. The page generation information may be, for example, a function for calculating one or more types of information of the position or size of each item information in the page, using the number of items of item information as a parameter. Alternatively, the page generation information may be a set of one or more pieces of layout information (layout information L2, layout L3,...) Corresponding to the number (2, 3,...). The layout information Lm is at least one kind of position information group consisting of m pieces of position information corresponding to m item information or size information group consisting of m pieces of size information corresponding to m item information It has a group of information. The size information is information indicating the size of the product information in the page.

  Even after the page generation unit 134 generates the page, even if the input information reception unit 121 receives additional input information, one product information is not determined yet, and the product information determination unit 131 has two or more products. When the information is determined, it is the product information included in the previously generated page, and the process of generating a new page including the two or more pieces of product information determined by the product information determination unit 131 is repeated, thereby the target of the determination. It is preferable to narrow down the product information that can be

  Alternatively, when the product information determined by the product information determination unit 131 satisfies a predetermined condition, the page generation unit 134 may generate a page including the product information. In this case, when the product information determined by the product information determining unit 131 does not satisfy the predetermined condition, the focus moving unit 132 preferably moves the focus to the product information.

  The predetermined condition may be, for example, a condition regarding the number of product information items determined by the product information determination unit 131. The condition regarding the number is, for example, a condition that the number of product information items determined by the product information determination unit 131 is two or more. Using this condition, when the product information determination unit 131 determines one product information, the focus moving unit 132 moves the focus to the product information, and the product information determination unit 131 determines two or more product information. In the case, the page generation unit 134 generates a page including the two or more item information.

  Alternatively, the predetermined condition may be, for example, a condition regarding the relationship between the product information determined by the product information determination unit 131 and the page to which the product information belongs. The condition relating to the relationship with the page is, for example, a condition that the product information determined by the product information determination unit 131 is product information existing across two or more pages. Using this condition, when the product information determination unit 131 determines one or more product information items present in one page, the focus moving unit 132 moves the focus to the one page, and the product information determination unit 131. When two or more pieces of product information existing across two or more pages are determined, the page generation unit 134 generates a page including the two or more pieces of product information.

  Alternatively, the predetermined condition may be, for example, a condition related to the relationship between the product information determined by the product information determination unit 131 and the current position information included in the focus information. The condition regarding the relationship with the current position information is, for example, the case where the screen is scrolled from the position indicated by the current position information included in the focus information to the position indicated by the item position information included in the item information determined by the item information determination unit 131. The condition is that the scroll amount is greater than or equal to the threshold. Using this condition, if the product information determination unit 131 determines product information that is further from the current focus position as the product information determination unit 131 requires scrolling greater than or equal to the threshold value, the page generation unit 134 determines from the product information Is generated, and if not, the focus moving unit 132 moves the focus to the item information.

  However, the predetermined condition may be, for example, a condition that the data amount of the page including the determined product information is larger than the data amount that can be displayed in one screen, and the product information determined by the product information determination unit 131 Any condition is acceptable.

  In addition, in the case where the product information determined by the product information determination unit 131 does not satisfy the predetermined condition, the page generation unit 134 generates a page including the product information and the product information is determined as the product. When the product information determined by the information determining unit 131 satisfies this, the condition may be such that the focus moving unit 132 moves the focus to the product information.

  The transmission unit 14 transmits various types of information. The various types of information are, for example, product information, pages, and the like.

  The page transmission unit 141 transmits a page including product information to the user terminal 2. The page transmission unit 141 normally transmits a page including product information corresponding to input information from the user terminal 2 to the user terminal 2.

  For example, the page transmission unit 141 may transmit, to the user terminal 2, a page including the product information determined by the product information determination unit 131 using the input information from the user terminal 2.

  For example, the page transmission unit 141 may transmit, to the user terminal 2, a page including the product information on which the focus moving unit 132 has moved the focus using input information from the user terminal 2.

  The page transmission unit 141 is, for example, product information determined by the product information determination unit 131 using input information from the user terminal 2, and the page including the product information focused by the focus moving unit 132 It is preferable to transmit to the terminal 2.

  The page transmission unit 141 is, for example, product information determined by the product information determination unit 131 using input information from the user terminal 2, includes the product information moved by the focus moving unit 132, and is the product It is more preferable to transmit to the user terminal 2 a page in which the purchase information acquired by the purchase information acquisition unit 133 is substituted in the input field corresponding to the information.

  The page transmission unit 141 is, for example, a page including two or more item information determined by the item information determination unit 131 using input information from the user terminal 2, and the page generated by the page generation unit 134 is It may be sent to 2. It is preferable for the page transmission unit 141 to repeatedly transmit a page generated in the same manner until one item of item information is determined.

  Note that, for example, when transmitting a page including commodity information moved to a focus, the page transmission unit 141 does not need to transmit the entire page, and usually, a difference from the page including commodity information before focus movement is It is enough if you send it. Also, in the case of transmitting a newly generated page, it is sufficient for the page transmitting unit 141 to transmit the difference from the previously generated page.

  The user storage unit 21 constituting the user terminal 2 can store various types of information. The various information is, for example, a user identifier. The user storage unit 21 normally stores a user identifier for identifying the user terminal 2.

It is more preferable to receive the page in which the purchase information acquired by the user is substituted and the focus is moved to the item information.

  Further, the user reception unit 25 may be a page including one or more item information corresponding to the input information in response to the transmission of the input information, and may receive the generated page. It is preferable for the user reception unit 25 to repeatedly receive a page generated in the same manner until one item of item information is determined.

  The user output unit 26 outputs various types of information. The various information is, for example, a page. Generally, output means display on a display, sound output from a speaker, transmission to an external device, printing on a printer, storage on a recording medium, delivery of processing results to other processing devices or other programs, etc. And so on. It is preferable that the user output unit 26 have such various output functions.

  The user output unit 26 outputs the page received by the user reception unit 25. However, the page to be output may not be the same as the received page.

  The user output unit 26 usually displays the page received by the user reception unit 25 on a display. However, the user output unit 26 may print the received page, for example, with a printer or store it on a recording medium, or may transmit it to an external device or deliver it to another program or the like. It does not matter.

  The storage unit 11, the page storage unit 111, and the user storage unit 21 are preferably, for example, non-volatile recording media such as hard disks and flash memories, but may be realized also as volatile recording media such as RAM.

Next, the operation of the information system will be described using the flowchart of FIG. In addition, the explanation about the matter which has already appeared is abbreviated or simplified.
FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the product information management device 1.

  (Step S201) The processing unit 13 determines whether or not the input information receiving unit 121 has received input information in a pair with the user identifier. If the input information receiving unit 121 receives input information as a pair with the user identifier, the process proceeds to step S202, and if not received, the process proceeds to step S203.

  (Step S202) The product information determination unit 131 determines product information corresponding to the received input information, for example, by searching all or part of two or more pages stored in the page storage unit 111. . The product information determination unit 131 holds the product identifier of the determined product information as a pair with the received user identifier.

  (Step S203) The processing unit 13 determines whether or not two or more item information has been determined. For example, when the product information determination unit 131 holds two or more product identifiers in a pair with the received user identifier, the processing unit 13 determines that two or more product information is determined. On the other hand, when the number of product identifiers held in a pair with the received user identifier is less than 2, the processing unit 13 determines that only product information of 1 or less is determined. If two or more pieces of product information are determined, the process proceeds to step S204, and if only one or less pieces of product information are determined, the process proceeds to step S203.

  (Step S204) The page generation unit 134 generates a page including the determined two or more pieces of product information using the page generation information.

  (Step S205) The page transmission unit 141 transmits the page generated by the page generation unit 134 to the user terminal 2 identified by the user identifier received in a pair with the input information. Thereafter, the process returns to step S201.

  (Step S206) The processing unit 13 determines whether one item of item information has been determined. For example, when the product information determination unit 131 holds one product identifier in pair with the received user identifier, the processing unit 13 determines that one product information has been determined. On the other hand, when one item identifier is not held in the pair with the received user identifier, the processing unit 13 determines that one item information is not determined. If one item of product information is determined, the process proceeds to step S204. If one item of item information is not determined, the process returns to step S201.

  (Step S207) The purchase information acquisition unit 133 acquires purchase information from the input information received by the input information reception unit 121. The details of the purchase information are not repeated since they are described above.

  (Step S208) The focus moving unit 132 substitutes the purchase information acquired by the purchase information acquisition unit 133 into the input field corresponding to the product information determined by the product information determination unit 131.

  (Step S209) The focus moving unit 132 moves the focus to the product information determined by the product information determination unit 131. Note that moving the focus to the determined product information also includes moving the focus to the UI component associated with the determined product information. The details of such focus movement are not repeated since they are described above.

  (Step S210) The page transmission unit 141 includes the product information focused by the focus moving unit 132, and the page in which the purchase information is substituted in the input field corresponding to the product information is the received user identifier. Transmit to the identified user terminal 2. Thereafter, the process returns to step S201.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 2, the processing unit 13 determines whether or not two or more pieces of product information have been determined, and the page generation unit 134 generates a page when two or more pieces of product information are determined. However, in general, the processing unit 13 determines whether or not a predetermined condition is satisfied, and the page generation unit 134 may generate a page when the predetermined condition is satisfied. Further, in the flowchart of FIG. 2, when two or more pieces of item information are not determined, the processing unit 13 further determines whether one item of item information is determined, and the focus moving unit 132 determines one item of item information. Although focus movement or the like is performed when Y is determined, in general, the focus movement unit 132 may perform focus movement or the like when a predetermined condition is not satisfied.

  Further, in the flowchart of FIG. 2, the process starts in response to the power on of the product information management device 1 or the start of the program, and the process is terminated by the power off or the interrupt of the process end. However, there is no limitation on the start or end of processing.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the user terminal 2.

  (Step S301) The user acceptance unit 22 determines whether or not voice input has been accepted. If the voice input is received, the process proceeds to step S302. If the voice input is not received, the process returns to step S301.

  (Step S302) The user reception unit 22 acquires input information which is waveform data corresponding to the waveform of the input voice. Preferably, the user reception unit 22 has a voice recognition function, performs voice recognition using the waveform data, and acquires input information which is text data indicating the result.

  (Step S303) The user transmission unit 24 transmits the input information acquired by the user reception unit 22 to the product information management device 1 as a pair with the user identifier stored in the user storage unit 21.

  (Step S304) The user process 24 determines whether the user reception unit 25 has received a page from the product information management device 1. When the page is received from the product information management device 1, the process proceeds to step S305, and when the page is not received, the process returns to step S301.

  (Step S305) The user output unit 26 outputs the page received by the user reception unit 25 via an output device such as a display. As a result, a page including product information corresponding to the input information is displayed on the display.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 3, the process starts in response to the power on of the user terminal 2 or the activation of the program, and the process ends by the power off or the interrupt of the process end. However, there is no limitation on the start or end of processing.

  Hereinafter, a specific operation example of the information system in the present embodiment will be described. Note that the following description can be variously modified and does not limit the present invention. In addition, the explanation of the matters already described is omitted or simplified.

  The storage unit 11 of the product information management device 1 stores two or more pages as shown in FIG. The data structure of the page is shown in FIG. The page has one or more item information, a UI part group, a part position information group, and the like. The product information includes a product identifier, an image, a text, and product position information.

  Two or more pages correspond to page identifiers P1, P2,. For example, a page corresponding to the page identifier “P1” (hereinafter sometimes referred to as page P1) has four item information. The first product information includes a product identifier “black pen aaa”, an image of the black pen aaa, text “one 50 yen”, and product position information (x1, y1). The second item information includes the item identifier “red pen bbb”, the image of the red pen bbb, the text “one 100 yen”, and the item position information (x2, y2). The third product information includes a product identifier "black pen ccc", an image of the black pen ccc, text "three 200 yen", and product position information (x3, y3).

  An input field and a purchase button correspond to the first product information in page P1, and component position information (x11, y11) corresponds to the input field, and the purchase button corresponds to the component. Position information (x12, y12) is associated. Further, in the second item information, an input field and a purchase button are associated, and in the input field, component position information (x21, y21) is associated, and in the purchase button, component position information (x22) , Y22) correspond. Furthermore, in the third item information, an input field and a purchase button are associated, and in the input field, part position information (x31, y31) is associated, and in the purchase button, part position information (x32) , Y32) correspond.

  An initial page as shown in FIG. 5 is displayed on the display of the user terminal 2. FIG. 5 is an output example of the initial page. The initial page is the page displayed first after activation. The initial page is a page displayed on the display of the user terminal 2 as a result of the page P1 stored in the product information management device 1 being transmitted to the user terminal 2 in response to activation of the user terminal 2.

  The initial page displayed has the form of a 5-row by 6-column table. In the first line of this table, “item number” and “item name” corresponding to the stored product identifier, “image” corresponding to the stored image, and stored text as item names Six corresponding "prices" and "quantities" and "purchase buttons" corresponding to the stored UI parts are arranged.

  In the second line, the part number "aaa", the part name "black pen", the image of the black pen aaa, the price "one 50 yen", the input field into which the quantity is input, and the purchase button It is arranged. In the third line, the part number "bbb", the part name "red pen", the image of the red pen bbb, the price "one 100 yen", the input field into which the quantity is input, and the purchase button It is arranged. In the fourth line, the part number "ccc", the part name "red pen", the image of the red pen ccc, the price "three 200 yen", the input field into which the quantity is input, and the purchase button It is arranged. The same six pieces of information are arranged in the fifth line.

  In the initial page, no focus is on anything, and the focus moving unit 132 holds the focus information “Null”. "Null" is a flag indicating the absence of the information. The focus information "Null" indicates that no focus is on at present.

  Now, it is assumed that the user of the user terminal 2 has voice input of "black pen". In the user terminal 2, the user reception unit 22 receives this via the microphone, and acquires input information which is waveform data corresponding to the waveform. Furthermore, the user reception unit 22 performs speech recognition using the waveform data, and acquires input information “black pen” which is text data indicating the result. The user transmission unit 24 transmits the input information “black pen” thus acquired to the product information management device 1.

  In the product information management device 1, the input information receiving unit 121 receives the input information "black pen", and the product information determining unit 131 stores the input information "black pen" in the page storage unit 111 using the input information "black pen" as a key. By searching two or more pages P1, P2,..., The product information corresponding to the input information "black pen" is determined as the first product information of the page P1. The product information determination unit 131 holds the product identifier “black pen aaa” of the determined product information.

  Thus, the purchase information acquisition unit 133 attempts to acquire purchase information from the received input information "black pen" in response to the determination of one item of product information, but the received input information includes the purchase information. It is not done and nothing is acquired. For this reason, the focus moving unit 132 does not perform automatic input to the input field, moves the focus to the first item information which is the determined item information, and changes the focus information “Null” to “(x1, y1 Update to). The page transmission unit 141 transmits, to the user terminal 2, the page P1 including the commodity information on which the focus has been moved.

  However, normally, it is not necessary to transmit the entire page P1 including the focused product information, and it is sufficient to transmit the difference from the page P1 including the product information before the focus movement. The difference may be, for example, product information highlighted as a result of focus movement, for example, enlargement, coloring or the like, or arranged at a position indicated by position information (x1, y1) in the displayed table For example, an instruction to highlight product information by enlargement, coloring or the like may be used. This is common to the following specific examples.

  Further, the destination of the focus may be the position of the part position information (x21, y21) of the input field corresponding to the determined product information and that. Since the user's next action in this case is usually pressing of the quantity, it is preferable to move to the position of the part position information (x11, y11) corresponding to the input field. When the input information does not include the purchase information indicating the quantity as in this example, the focus moving unit 132 may automatically input the initial value “1” in the input field, for example. The destination of the focus may be the position of the part position information (x12, y12) of the purchase button corresponding to the determined product information and that.

  In the user terminal 2, the user reception unit 25 receives the page P <b> 1 including the commodity information on which the focus movement has been performed, and the user output unit 26 outputs the received page P <b> 1.

  As a result, a page as shown in FIG. 6 is displayed on the display of the user terminal 2. In this page, the product number "aaa", the product name "black pen", the image of the black pen aaa, and the price "one 50 yen" arranged in the second line of the table are highlighted. Further, in the input field corresponding to this, a prompt indicating an input waiting state is displayed. This allows the user to quickly enter the desired number.

  In the state where the initial page shown in FIG. 5 is displayed, the operation in the case where the user voice-inputs "black pen, 2 pens" is, for example, as follows.

  In the user terminal 2, the user reception unit 22 receives “black pen, 2 pens” via the microphone, and acquires input information “black pen, 2 pens” which is text data indicating the result of voice recognition. The user transmission unit 24 transmits the input information “black pen, 2 pens” acquired in this manner to the product information management device 1.

  In the product information management device 1, the input information receiving unit 121 receives the above input information "black pen, 2 lines", and the product information determining unit 131 uses the product identifier "black pen" included in the input information as a key. By searching two or more pages P1, P2,... Stored in the page storage unit 111, the first product information of the page P1 having product information corresponding to the input information “black pen, 2 pens” Decide on. The product information determination unit 131 holds the product identifier “black pen aaa” of the determined product information.

  In this way, in response to the determination of one item of product information, the purchase information acquisition unit 133 acquires purchase information “two” from the received input information “black pen, two”. The focus moving unit 132 automatically inputs the quantity “2” for the acquired purchase information “two” in the input field corresponding to the product identifier “black pen aaa”. Next, the focus moving unit 132 moves the focus to the purchase button, which is a UI component corresponding to the determined product information, and updates the focus information “Null” to “(x12, y12)”. The page transmission unit 141 transmits, to the user terminal 2, the page P1 including the commodity information on which the focus has been moved.

  The destination of the focus may be the position of the product position information (x1, y1) corresponding to the determined product information or the position of the component position information (x11, y11) of the corresponding input field. Nor. However, since the user's next action in this case is usually pressing of the purchase button, it is preferable to move to the position of the part position information (x12, y12) corresponding to the pressing button.

  In the user terminal 2, the user reception unit 25 receives the page P <b> 1 including the commodity information on which the focus movement has been performed, and the user output unit 26 outputs the received page P <b> 1.

  As a result, a page as shown in FIG. 7 is displayed on the display of the user terminal 2. In this page, the quantity "2" corresponding to the purchase information "2" is automatically input in the input field arranged in the second line of the table, and the purchase button beside it is highlighted. Thus, the user can promptly purchase three black pens.

  The operation in the case where the user voice-inputs the “red pen” in the state where the initial page shown in FIG. 5 is displayed is, for example, as follows.

  In the user terminal 2, the user reception unit 22 receives the “red pen” via the microphone, and acquires input information “black pen, 2 pens” which is text data indicating the result of speech recognition. The user transmission unit 24 transmits the input information “red pen” thus acquired to the product information management device 1.

  In the product information management device 1, the input information receiving unit 121 receives the input information “red pen”, and the product information determining unit 131 stores the input information “red pen” in the page storage unit 111 using the input information “red pen” as a key. The first product information and the second product information that page P1 has product information corresponding to the input information “red pen” by searching two or more pages P1, P2,. Determined to have product information. The product information determination unit 131 holds product identifiers “red pen bbb”, “red pen ccc”, and “red pen eee” of the determined three product information.

  In this way, in response to the determination of the three pieces of product information, the page generation unit 134 generates a page including the determined three pieces of product information using the page generation information. The page transmission unit 141 transmits the generated page to the user terminal 2.

  In the user terminal 2, the user reception unit 25 receives the generated page, and the user output unit 26 outputs the received page.

  As a result, a page as shown in FIG. 8 is displayed on the display of the user terminal 2. This page has the form of a 4-row by 6-column table. The first row of this table is the same as the first row of the table of FIG. The second and third rows of this table are the same as the third and fourth rows of the table of FIG. In the fourth line of the table, information such as the product number "eee" and the product name "red pen" corresponding to the product identifier "red pen eee" of the stored page P2 is arranged. By narrowing down the product information in this manner, the user can quickly select a desired red pen from a large number of red pens.

  In addition, when the user inputs the voice of the "red pen" while the focus position information is (x0, y0), the focus moving unit 132 outputs the focus position information (x0, y0) and the "red pen bbb". The distance between each of the product position information (x2, y2) corresponding to and the product position information (x3, y3) corresponding to "red pen bbb" is calculated, and the shortest distance among the calculated two distances is calculated. The focus may be moved to the position of the corresponding product position information.

  In the state where the page shown in FIG. 8 is displayed, the operation in the case where the user voice-inputs “bbb, 3” is, for example, as follows.

  In the user terminal 2, the user reception unit 22 receives “bbb, 3 lines” via the microphone, and acquires input information “bbb, 3 lines” which is text data indicating the result of speech recognition. The user transmission unit 24 transmits the acquired input information “bbb, 3” to the product information management device 1.

  In the product information management device 1, the input information receiving unit 121 receives the input information "bbb, 3 lines", and the product information determining unit 131 stores the page using the product identifier "bbb" included in the input information as a key. By searching two or more pages P1, P2,... Stored in section 111, the product information corresponding to the input information “bbb, 3” is determined as the second product information in page P1. . The product information determination unit 131 holds the product identifier “red pen bbb” of the determined product information.
