  FIG. 1 is a first diagram illustrating an example of a display process performed by the terminal device according to the embodiment. In the example illustrated in FIG. 1, the process in which the terminal device 100 displays the web content C10 and each of the contents C20 and C30 in the display process is described in a first state to a third state.

  In the following description, the position is a reference position when displaying the web content C10 or the content C20 or C30 on the screen, and is located at the uppermost position on the screen when displaying the web content C10 or the content C20 or C30. The end to be performed (the end of the screen) is referred to as the upper end of the web content C10 or the content C20 or C30. Also, of the edges generated when the web content C10, the content C20, and C30 are displayed on the screen, the edge located at the lowest position on the screen (the edge of the screen) is the lower end of the web content C10, the content C20, and C30. It is described.

  In the following description, the direction in which the upper ends of the web contents C10 and the contents C20 and C30 are displayed on the screen of the terminal device 100 is referred to as the screen upper direction, and the web contents C10 and the contents C20 and C30 are displayed on the screen. The direction in which the lower end of the is displayed is referred to as a screen downward direction. In addition, on the screen of the terminal device 100, the direction in which the left end (the end of the screen) of the web content C10 or the content C20 or C30 is displayed is referred to as the screen left direction, and the web content C10 or the content is displayed on the screen. The direction in which the right ends (ends of the screen) of C20 and C30 are displayed is referred to as the screen right direction.

  First, the first display process will be described with reference to FIG. The terminal device 100 is a smart device such as a smartphone or a tablet, and is a portable terminal device capable of communicating with an arbitrary server device via a wireless communication network such as 3G (Generation) or LTE (Long Term Evolution). . In addition, the terminal device 100 is a screen such as a liquid crystal display, and has a screen having a touch panel function. The user can use the finger or stylus to perform a tap operation, a slide operation, a scroll operation, or the like on the web content C10 or the content C20. , C30 are received. In the following description, an operation performed on an area of the screen where the web content C10 is displayed may be described as an operation on the web content C10.

  Here, it is assumed that the screen of the terminal device 100 has a rectangular screen. More specifically, it is assumed that the screen of the terminal device 100 has a vertically long screen whose vertical length is longer than the horizontal length. Further, in the following description, an example in which the terminal device 100 is used in a state where the screen is vertically long will be described. However, the embodiment is not limited to this, and the terminal device 100 is used in a state where the screen is horizontally long. You may.

  The web content C10 is, for example, a web page in which news, weather forecast, index and content of received mail, photo viewer, and other various contents are arranged, such as HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) and XML (Extensible Markup Language). This is a web page of a so-called portal site described in.

  For example, the web content C10 is content in which news, weather forecast, index and content of received mail, photo viewer, and other various contents are arranged in an independent tile shape. The content can be updated and the like. Further, a tile in which content related to an advertisement is arranged is inserted into the web content C10 as needed. Note that the size, arrangement position, and number of arranged tiles of each tile arranged on the web content C10 may be automatically changed for each tile, or may be changed according to a user operation. The web content C10 may include an input field for inputting a search keyword, a link to another web page, and the like.

  The web content C10 is a web page optimized for a smart device, and has the same horizontal display size as the horizontal display size of the screen of the terminal device 100. The web content C10 is a web page whose display size in the vertical direction is longer than the display size in the vertical direction of the output unit 130 (for example, see FIG. 6) of the terminal device 100 (hereinafter, referred to as vertical). It is assumed that the content and the order of the content arranged in the tile are changed according to the attribute of the user of the terminal device 100, the content of the content arranged in the tile selected by the user, the input search keyword, and the like.

  The web content C10 is distributed by the content distribution server 30. For example, the terminal device 100 transmits a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) or the like to the content distribution server 30 that distributes the web content C10. In such a case, the content distribution server 30 distributes the web content C10.

  The content C20 is different from the web content C10, and is, for example, an image including a photo or text indicating a predetermined store or a transaction target. Note that the content C20 may be a moving image of any format such as a GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) moving image or an MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group). In addition, any content can be applied to the content C20. For example, the content C20 is content related to an advertisement (hereinafter, referred to as advertisement content). More specifically, the content C20 is content relating to an advertisement for transmitting information about a predetermined product, service, brand, company, or other content to a user.

  Here, the advertisement content is not only a commercial or non-profit advertisement, but also a recruitment of volunteers, a public advertisement, a notice to the public, a part of information relating to the web content C10, and any other content. In other words, the advertisement content is not only content including so-called advertisement-related information, but also information included in the advertisement content that is of interest to the user and included in the advertisement content, or content related to the advertisement content (for example, a landing page). As long as the information is widely reported, images, moving images, characters, graphics, symbols, hyperlinks, and other arbitrary contents can be applied. That is, any content can be applied as advertising content as long as the content is intended to generate more interest than the web content C10 for the user.

  For example, the content C20 is an image obtained by photographing the inside of a restaurant to be advertised or food and drink provided by the restaurant to be advertised. Here, in the example shown in FIG. 1, the content C20 has a display size in the horizontal direction that is the same as the size in the horizontal direction of the screen of the terminal device 100, and a display size in the vertical direction is the same The image is smaller than the size. The display size of the content C20 is not limited to this, and an image of an arbitrary size can be adopted.

  The content C30 is different from the web content C10 and the content C20, and is, for example, text data of a content related to the content C20. For example, the content C30 includes a content such as “from a party plan of 20 people” that includes only text data relating to the service provided by the restaurant. The content C30 may be, for example, text data having relevance to the content C20, and may be a plurality of text data indicating a product such as a course provided in a restaurant to which the content C20 is advertised.

  Here, the content C30 is a content set to be displayed in a display size different from that of the content C20 when displayed on the screen. For example, it is assumed that the size of the text of the content C30 is set so that when displayed on the screen, the content C30 fits in an area having a smaller display size than the content C20.

  Here, any content can be applied to the content C30. For example, the content C30 is advertising content. More specifically, the content C30 is content for transmitting to the user information on the same advertisement target as the advertisement target indicated by the content C20. Note that the advertisement targets indicated by the content C20 and the content C30 do not need to be exactly the same. For example, the content C20 may be an image including a logo of a certain company, and the content C30 may be text such as a product name sold by the company. Further, the content C20 may be an image showing a logo of a certain company, and the content C30 may be an image of a product sold by the company.

  That is, the contents C20 and C30 do not need to be contents that strictly indicate the same advertisement target as long as the information to be advertised is related. Further, the contents C20 and C30 may be different types of contents. For example, one of the contents C20 and C30 may be a moving image, and the other may be an image. That is, as the contents C20 and C30, any content can be adopted as long as the display size of the content C30 is at least smaller than the display size of the content C20 (for example, the display area is small).

  For example, the content distribution server 30 requests the advertisement distribution server 20 to distribute the contents C20, C30, and distributes an acquisition command for operating the terminal device 100 to display the content C20 together with the web content C10 (step S1). ). Note that such an acquisition command is realized by, for example, JavaScript (registered trademark) or Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) included in the web content C10.

  In such a case, the terminal device 100 requests the advertisement distribution server 20 to distribute the contents C20 and C30 according to the acquisition command distributed from the content distribution server 30 (step S2). As a result, the advertisement distribution server 20 distributes the content C20, which is a moving image, to the terminal device 100 (Step S3). Then, the terminal device 100 displays the content C20 on the screen together with the web content C10.

  Here, the terminal device 100 executes the following display processing in order to improve the effect of appealing information included in the contents C20 and C30. First, the terminal device 100 arranges a plurality of display areas W1 and W2 of the web content C10 adjacent to each other, and arranges and displays the content C20 in the plurality of display areas W1 and W2. Then, the terminal device 100 displays the content C20 in the first display mode for one of the display areas W1 and W2, and displays the content C20 in the second display mode for the other display area W2. Display C.

  Hereinafter, an example of a display process performed by the terminal device 100 will be described with reference to FIG. For example, when receiving the distribution of the web content C10, the content C20, and the content C30, the terminal device 100 arranges a plurality of display areas W1 and W2 of the web content C10 adjacent to each other, and places the content C20 in the plurality of display areas W1 and W2. And display it. Specifically, the terminal device 100 displays the web content C10 so as to be scrollable in a predetermined direction (for example, the longitudinal direction of the terminal device 100). Then, the terminal device 100 arranges the plurality of display areas W1 and W2 in a predetermined direction (scroll direction) and makes them adjacent to each other. In other words, it can be said that the terminal device 100 divides one display area into a plurality of display areas W1 and W2 for display. The display areas W1 and W2 are not limited to being adjacent to each other in the scroll direction, and may be adjacent to each other in a direction substantially orthogonal to the scroll direction. Alternatively, the plurality of display areas W1 and W2 may be, for example, tiled display areas arranged two-dimensionally in a scroll direction and a direction substantially orthogonal to the scroll direction.

  Note that the number of the plurality of display areas W1 and W2 is not limited to two, and may be three or more. FIG. 1 shows a case where the plurality of display areas W1 and W2 have the same size. However, a case where one display area W1 is larger or smaller than the other display area W2 may be used. .

  In addition, the terminal device 100 displays the web content C10 so as to overlap the content C20. Specifically, the terminal device 100 arranges the content C20 on the back of the web content C10, and displays the web content C10 in which a plurality of display areas W1 and W2 for transmitting the content C20 arranged on the back are arranged adjacently. indicate. That is, in the display areas W1 and W2, a part of the content C20 corresponding to the display positions of the display areas W1 and W2 is transparently displayed.

  Alternatively, the terminal device 100 is not limited to arranging the web content C10 on the content C20. For example, the terminal device 100 displays a range corresponding to each of the display areas W1 and W2 in the content C20 in each of the display areas W1 and W2. May be. Specifically, first, terminal device 100 stores the position of content C20 on the screen. Then, the terminal device 100 specifies the range of the content C20 corresponding to the display position of the display areas W1 and W2 displayed on the screen, and displays the specified range of the content C20 in the display areas W1 and W2. When a range corresponding to each of the display areas W1 and W2 of the content C20 is displayed, each of the display areas W1 and W2 may be configured as a transparent area, and the content C20 disposed on the back may be transparently displayed.

  Then, as shown in the first state, the terminal device 100 displays the content C20 in the first display mode on one of the plurality of display areas W1 and W2, and displays the content C20 on the other display area W2. Displays the content C20 in the second display mode. For example, the terminal device 100 makes the visibility of the content C20 different between the one display area W1 and the other display area W2. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the terminal device 100 normally displays the content C20 (the transmittance is 100%) in one display area W1 and increases the visibility of the content C20 in the other display area W2. Lower.

  To give a more specific example of the visibility, the terminal device 100 may reduce the brightness or the saturation of the content C20 in another display area W2. The terminal device 100 may apply a so-called blur filter to the content C20 for the other display area W2. Thus, the content C20 displayed in the other display area W2 has a darker and more blurry display mode than the content C20 displayed in the one display area W1.

  In addition, as shown in the first state, the terminal device 100 overlaps the content C20 (an example of the third content) having relevance with the content C20 on the content C20 having reduced visibility in the other display area W2. Display normally.

  Although the content C30 is displayed only in the other display area W2 in FIG. 1, the content C30 may be displayed in one display area W1. When the content C30 is displayed in both the one display area W1 and the other display area W2, different contents C30 may be displayed in the respective display areas W1 and W2. Further, the content C30 to be displayed in the other display area W2 is not limited to text information, and may be a moving image, an image, or the like as long as the information is related to the advertisement of the content C20.

  Here, when a scroll operation of scrolling the web content C10 upward by the user's finger F10 is performed, the terminal device 100 moves the web content C10 upward in the screen with the content C20 fixed. At the same time, and scrolls the screen upward in a state where the plurality of display areas W1 and W2 are adjacent to each other. As a result, as shown in the second state, the terminal device 100 displays a part of the content C20 corresponding to the display positions of the plurality of display areas W1 and W2 after the movement.

  Note that, for example, when the plurality of display areas W1 and W2 are moved by a scroll operation, the terminal device 100 dynamically changes the display mode of each of the plurality of display areas W1 and W2 according to the display position after the movement. Is also good. For example, as the display positions of the plurality of display areas W1 and W2 approach the center of the screen, the terminal device 100 gradually improves the visibility of the other display areas W2, and when the terminal apparatus 100 is located at the center of the screen, May be displayed normally (that is, the display mode is the same). Alternatively, as the display positions of the plurality of display areas W1 and W2 approach the center of the screen, the terminal device 100 gradually reduces the visibility of the other display areas W2, and the terminal apparatus 100 is positioned at the center of the screen. The display area W1 may be displayed normally and the other display areas W2 may have the lowest visibility.

  Here, when the terminal device 100 receives a selection operation of the display areas W1 and W2 by the user, the terminal apparatus 100 performs different control on each of the one display area W1 and the other display area W2. For example, the terminal device 100 makes transition to different information in each of the one display area W1 and the other display area W2. Specifically, when one display area W1 is selected, the terminal device 100 displays the entire content C20 as shown in a third state. Note that when the terminal device 100 transitions to the screen in the third state, the terminal device 100 may display the entire content C20 and display new information on the content C20. For example, the terminal device 100 may display the content C20 as a still image in the second state, and may display the content C20 as a moving image in the third state. Alternatively, in the third state, the terminal device 100 may newly display information on the details of the restaurant advertised by the content C20.

  In the second state, when another display area W2 is selected in the second state, the terminal device 100 reserves a restaurant reservation screen to be advertised by the content C20 or a plan relating to the content C30 “From party plan for 20 people”. Move to the reservation screen. That is, the terminal device 100 makes a transition to a different landing page in one display area W1 and another display area W2.

  As described above, the terminal device 100 can display the content C20 in a variety of manners by enabling the content C20 to be displayed in different display modes for each of the plurality of display areas W1 and W2. The effect can be improved.

  Note that the various display modes described above can be realized by any mode. For example, the terminal device 100 may realize the above-described display processing by using JavaScript (registered trademark), CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), or the like distributed together with the web content C10, the content C20, and the content C30.

  Here, the terminal device 100 may execute the above-described display processing according to an arbitrary operation as long as the operation is performed by the user. For example, the terminal device 100 executes a display process according to various actions performed by the user on the terminal device 100, such as when the user issues a predetermined keyword or when the user shakes the terminal device. You may.

  For example, the terminal device 100 specifies a state of the terminal device 100 and a state around the terminal device 100 by using a microphone and various sensors, and when the specified state satisfies a predetermined condition, the user can use the terminal device 100. It is estimated that a predetermined action has been performed on 100. Then, when it is estimated that the user has performed a predetermined action on the terminal device 100, the terminal device 100 may start the display process.

  For example, the terminal device 100 superimposes and displays a character string indicating a predetermined condition on the web content C10 or the content C20, and when the state of the terminal device 100 or the state around the terminal device 100 satisfies the predetermined condition, What is necessary is just to start the display processing which was performed. That is, the terminal device 100 may start the change process according to an arbitrary operation when it can be estimated from the content of the operation that the user is interested in the web content C10.

  Although the description is omitted above, the terminal device 100 can realize the above-described display processing by an arbitrary method. For example, the terminal device 100 may realize the above-described display process by downloading an application that causes the terminal device 100 to execute the above-described display process in advance and activating the application at an arbitrary timing.

  In addition, the terminal device 100 receives distribution of control information that causes a general-purpose program such as a web browser to execute the above-described display processing, simultaneously with distribution of the web content C10 and the content C20 and C30. Then, the terminal device 100 may perform the above-described display processing according to the control information.

  Further, the terminal device 100 may acquire, as control information, an application that implements the above-described display processing or an application that implements the above-described display processing itself according to the above-described control information. For example, the terminal device 100 downloads an application that implements the above-described display processing in accordance with a user operation, and installs the application in its own device. When started, the application acquires the web content C10 and the content C20, C30 in response to an operation from the user, and controls the terminal device 100 to realize the above-described display processing. Here, in order to realize the above-described display processing, the application may receive distribution of control information or may include the distribution in advance in the application program.

  Hereinafter, the terminal device 100 that realizes the above-described display processing will be described. First, the configuration of the distribution system 1 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of a distribution system according to the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the distribution system 1 includes a terminal device 100, an advertiser terminal 10, an advertisement distribution server 20, and a content distribution server 30.

In addition, when receiving the distribution of the control information for realizing the above-described display processing from the advertisement distribution server 20, the terminal device 100 operates according to the control information and realizes the display processing.

  The advertiser terminal 10 is an information processing device used by an advertiser. For example, the advertiser terminal 10 is a desktop PC, a notebook PC, a tablet terminal, a mobile phone, a PDA, or the like. The advertiser terminal 10 submits to the advertisement distribution server 20 as advertisement contents such as the contents C20 and C30 according to the operation by the advertiser. For example, the advertiser terminal 10 submits contents C20 and C30 to the advertisement distribution server 20 as advertisement contents.

  In addition, the advertiser terminal 10 displays, as the contents C20 and C30, an image to be advertised, a 3D model of a plurality of components constituting the advertised object, a character string displayed when any of the 3D models is displayed, A character string displayed when all the 3D models are displayed, a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) for acquiring a landing page, and the like are submitted to the advertisement distribution server 20. For example, the advertiser registers the contents C20 and C30 via the advertiser terminal 10.

  Further, the advertiser may request the agency to submit the advertisement content. In this case, the agency submits the advertisement content to the advertisement distribution server 20. In the following, the notation “advertiser” is a concept including not only the advertiser but also the agency, and the notation such as “advertiser terminal” indicates not only the advertiser terminal 10 but also the agency device used by the agency. It is assumed that the concept includes.

  The advertisement distribution server 20 is a server device that distributes advertisement content submitted from the advertiser terminal 10. For example, when receiving the distribution request of the advertising content from the terminal device 100, the advertisement distribution server 20 performs matching between the user and the advertising content based on the location of the terminal device 100, the attribute of the user, and the like. Is delivered to the terminal device 100. Further, the advertisement distribution server 20 distributes control information for implementing the above-described display processing to the terminal device 100 together with the contents C20 and C30, which are advertisement contents. This control information is described in, for example, a script language such as JavaScript (registered trademark) or CSS.

  The content distribution server 30 is a web server or the like that distributes the web content C10 to the terminal device 100. For example, the content distribution server 30 can be used as a portal site, news site, auction site, weather forecast site, shopping site, finance (stock price) site, route search site, map providing site, travel site, restaurant introduction site, web blog, etc. The web content C10 in which various kinds of related information are arranged in a tile shape is distributed to the terminal device 100. In addition, the content distribution server 30 may be a server that distributes a web page such as a portal site in which various information is arranged.

  Here, the web content C10 distributed by the content distribution server 30 includes an acquisition command for instructing to acquire the advertisement content from the advertisement distribution server 20. For example, in an HTML file or the like forming the web content C10, a URL of the advertisement distribution server 20, various scripts for acquiring the advertisement content, arranging the display in the display area, and displaying the same are described as an acquisition command. In this case, the terminal device 100 acquires the contents C20 and C30 from the advertisement distribution server 20 as the advertisement content by accessing the URL described in the HTML file or the like.

  Note that various data distributed from the content distribution server 30 to the terminal device 100 are actually HTML files and images forming a web page, moving images displayed together with the web content C10, and the like. Further, the display area may be described as a predetermined display area in an HTML file or the like forming the web content C10, and may be distributed, for example, as one of tiles. As described above, when the display area is distributed as one of the tiles, the acquisition command for acquiring the advertisement content to be displayed in the display area is distributed to the terminal device 100 together with the distribution of the display area. .

  Next, the configuration of the advertisement distribution server 20 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the advertisement distribution server according to the embodiment.

  “Advertiser ID” indicates identification information for identifying the advertiser or the advertiser terminal 10. The “advertisement content” indicates the content submitted from the advertiser terminal 10, that is, the content related to the advertisement such as the content C20 or C30. Note that FIG. 4 shows an example in which conceptual information such as “C20, C30” is stored in “advertisement content”. However, in practice, individual objects for sharing common information to the user are located. URL or a file path name indicating the storage location of the URL.

  In the advertisement database 24, as the advertisement content, in addition to the contents C20 and C30, a display instruction for instructing execution of the above-described display processing is registered. The display instruction includes, for example, in which position on the initial screen the content C20 is arranged and displayed, what kind of operation is used as a trigger to perform the display process, and in what manner the display mode of the contents C20 and C30 is displayed. The information indicating the mode of the display process, such as whether to change, is included for each advertisement target configured by the object. In addition, it is assumed that, for example, when the advertiser registers the advertisement content, an arbitrary setting is performed by the advertiser.

  “Impression count” indicates the number of times the advertisement content has been displayed. More specifically, the “number of impressions” indicates the number of times the content C20 or C30 has been displayed. The “guaranteed number of impressions” indicates the number of times the advertising content is guaranteed for the consideration. Further, “compensation” indicates a reward paid by the advertiser when the advertisement content is displayed by the “guaranteed number of impressions”. That is, the advertisement distribution server 20 is a server that distributes the content related to the advertisement in the impression guarantee type.

  That is, FIG. 4 illustrates an example in which the advertiser identified by the advertiser ID “B10” submits the contents C20 and C30 as advertisement contents. Also, in FIG. 4, the number of impressions of the contents C20 and C30 is “10000”, the number of guaranteed impressions is “20,000”, and the charged amount when the contents C20 and C30 are displayed by the number of guaranteed impressions is “aaa”. Is shown.

  In the case of distributing the content related to the advertisement in a click charge format in which the advertisement is charged every time the advertisement content is selected, the advertisement database 24 stores the number of times the content is selected and the charge amount when the content is selected. Etc. are registered. Further, when the distribution request is received, the advertisement content is selected in a bid format, and when the selected advertisement content is distributed, the advertisement fee is set in the advertisement database 24 as a reward per impression. A bid price, CTR, and the like are registered.

  Returning to FIG. 3, the description will be continued. The control unit 23 is realized by, for example, executing various programs stored in a storage device inside the advertisement distribution server 20 using a RAM as a work area by a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or an MPU (Micro Processing Unit).

  The submission accepting unit 25 accepts, from the advertiser terminal 10, a submission of a content C20 or C30, which is advertising content, and an instruction to display the content, together with designation of a consideration. In such a case, the submission receiving unit 25 registers the content C20, C30, the display instruction, the advertiser ID, and the value of the received price in the advertisement database 24 in association with each other.

  The request receiving unit 26 receives an advertisement content acquisition request from the terminal device 100. For example, the request receiving unit 26 receives an HTTP request as an advertisement content acquisition request.

  The advertisement selecting unit 27 selects, from the advertisement database 24, the advertisement content that is a distribution candidate when the request receiving unit 26 receives the request to acquire the advertising content. For example, the advertisement selecting unit 27 performs matching of the advertisement content to be distributed from the advertisement content registered in the advertisement database 24 based on the position of the terminal device 100 and the attribute of the user.

  In such matching, the advertisement content is selected such that the number of impressions is larger than the guaranteed number of impressions. For example, the advertisement selecting unit 27 preferentially selects the advertisement content having the largest difference between the guaranteed number of impressions and the number of impressions. Note that the advertisement selecting unit 27 may preferentially select advertisement content having a high bid price or CTR or advertisement content having both a high bid price and CTR.

  When the web page is a search page, the advertisement selection unit 27 may use an advertisement delivery method called a search-linked advertisement that extracts advertisement content that matches a search keyword specified in the search page. In addition, the advertisement selecting unit 27 may use an advertisement distribution method called targeted distribution for extracting advertisement content that matches user attribute information (a psychographic attribute, a demographic attribute, and the like). After that, the advertisement selection unit 27 outputs the advertisement content selected as the distribution target to the distribution unit 28.

  The distribution unit 28 distributes the control information to the terminal device 100 together with the advertisement content selected by the advertisement selection unit 27. Specifically, upon receiving the advertisement content selected by the advertisement selection unit 27, the distribution unit 28 extracts a display instruction included in the received advertisement content. Then, the distribution unit 28 generates control information for causing the terminal device 100 to execute a display process of the content indicated by the extracted display instruction. After that, the distribution unit 28 distributes the generated control information and the advertising content to the terminal device 100.

  Next, the configuration of the content distribution server 30 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the content distribution server according to the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, the content distribution server 30 includes a communication unit 31, a content storage unit 32, and a control unit 33.

  The content storage unit 32 is realized by, for example, a semiconductor memory device such as a RAM and a flash memory, or a storage device such as a hard disk and an optical disk. Then, the content storage unit 32 stores a web page as an example of the content. For example, the content storage unit 32 stores an HTML file forming a web page, and a still image or a moving image displayed on the web page.

  The control unit 33 is realized by, for example, executing various programs (corresponding to an example of a distribution program) stored in a storage device inside the content distribution server 30 using a RAM as a work area by a CPU, an MPU, or the like. . The control unit 33 is realized by, for example, an integrated circuit such as an ASIC or an FPGA.

  As illustrated in FIG. 5, the control unit 33 includes a reception unit 34 and a distribution unit 35, and implements or executes functions and operations of information processing described below. Note that the internal configuration of the control unit 33 is not limited to the configuration illustrated in FIG. 5 and may be another configuration as long as the configuration performs information processing described below. In addition, the connection relationship between the processing units included in the control unit 33 is not limited to the connection relationship illustrated in FIG. 5 and may be another connection relationship.

  The receiving unit 34 receives a web page acquisition request from the terminal device 100. For example, the receiving unit 34 receives an HTTP request as a web page acquisition request.

  The distribution unit 35 distributes the web page to the terminal device 100 when the reception unit 34 receives the web page acquisition request. Specifically, the distribution unit 35 acquires the acquisition request target web page from the content storage unit 32 from the content storage unit 32, and distributes the acquired web page to the terminal device 100. In such a case, upon receiving the web content C10, the terminal device 100 transmits a distribution request of the advertisement content to the advertisement distribution server 20, and displays the received advertisement content as a response. Then, the terminal device 100 executes a display process of changing the advertisement content according to the operation of the user.

  Next, the configuration of the terminal device 100 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the terminal device according to the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 6, the terminal device 100 includes a communication unit 110, an input unit 120, an output unit 130, a physical sensor 140, and a control unit 150.

  The communication unit 110 is realized by, for example, an NIC or the like. The communication unit 110 is connected to the network N by wire or wirelessly, and transmits and receives information to and from the advertisement distribution server 20 and the content distribution server 30.

  The input unit 120 is an input device that receives various operations from a user. For example, the input unit 120 is realized by a keyboard, a mouse, operation keys, and the like. The output unit 130 is a display device for displaying various information, that is, a screen. For example, the output unit 130 is realized by a liquid crystal display or the like. When a touch panel is used for the terminal device 100, the input unit 120 and the output unit 130 are integrated. In the following description, the output unit 130 may be described as a screen.

  The physical sensor 140 is a sensor that detects the physical state of the terminal device 100. For example, the physical sensor 140 is a gyro sensor that measures the inclination of the terminal device 100 in three axial directions. Note that the physical sensor 140 is not limited to a gyro sensor, and any sensor such as an acceleration sensor, a temperature sensor, a volume sensor, and a brightness sensor can be used.

  The control unit 150 is realized by, for example, executing various programs (corresponding to an example of an information display program) stored in a storage device inside the terminal device 100 using a RAM as a work area by a CPU, an MPU, or the like. . For example, these various programs correspond to application programs called web browsers. The control unit 150 is realized by, for example, an integrated circuit such as an ASIC or an FPGA.

  As illustrated in FIG. 6, the control unit 150 includes a request unit 151, an operation control unit 152, and a display processing unit 153, and implements or executes the functions and operations of information processing described below. Note that the internal configuration of the control unit 150 is not limited to the configuration illustrated in FIG. 6 and may be another configuration as long as the configuration performs information processing described below. In addition, the connection relationship between the processing units included in the control unit 150 is not limited to the connection relationship illustrated in FIG. 6 and may be another connection relationship.

  When receiving the URL of the web content C10 from the operation control unit 152, the request unit 151 transmits a request to acquire the web content C10 indicated by the received URL to the content distribution server 30. In addition, when the acquisition instruction is included in the web content C10 received from the content distribution server 30, the request unit 151 transmits an advertisement content acquisition request to the advertisement distribution server 20.

  The operation control unit 152 performs various controls in accordance with a user operation received via the input unit 120. For example, when the user performs a display operation of the web content C10 on the input unit 120, the operation control unit 152 outputs the URL of the web content C10 to be displayed to the request unit 151. Further, the operation control unit 152 outputs the content of the user's operation such as the scroll operation and the tap operation received via the input unit 120 to the display processing unit 153.

  The display processing unit 153 displays the received web page and advertisement content on the output unit 130, and performs the above-described display processing. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 6, the display processing unit 153 executes the acquisition command distributed along with the web content C10 and the control information distributed along with the advertisement content, so that the control unit 150 executes the acquisition It operates as the unit 155 and the display control unit 156 to execute display processing. The acquisition unit 154, the display unit 155, and the display control unit 156 are realized by, for example, the CPU or the MPU executing control information using the RAM as a work area.

  The acquisition unit 154 acquires the web content C10 and the contents C20 and C30 (hereinafter, may be collectively referred to as “each web content C10 to C30”). For example, when acquiring the web content C10, the acquiring unit 154 acquires the content C20 and C30 from the advertisement distribution server 20 according to the acquisition instruction of the web content C10. More specifically, the acquisition unit 154 acquires the content C30 including text and the content C30 having a smaller display size than the content C20, together with the content C20 including the image.

  The display unit 155 displays the web content C10 and the content C20 related to the advertisement. For example, on the initial screen, the display unit 155 arranges and displays the web content C10 at the upper end of the screen and displays a plurality of display areas W1 and W2 of the web content C10 adjacent to each other to display a plurality of display areas. The content C20 is displayed in the areas W1 and W2.

  Then, under the control of the display control unit 156, the display unit 155 displays the content C20 in the first display mode for one of the plurality of display regions W1 and W2, and displays the content C20 for the other display region W2. Displays the content C20 in the second display mode. For example, the display unit 155 displays the web content C10 and the contents C20 and C30 in the display mode illustrated in FIG.

  For example, the display unit 155 displays the web content C10 so as to be scrollable in a predetermined direction (for example, the longitudinal direction of the terminal device 100). Then, the display unit 155 arranges the plurality of display areas W1 and W2 adjacent to each other in a predetermined direction (scroll direction). The display areas W1 and W2 are not limited to being adjacent to each other in the scroll direction, and may be adjacent to each other in a direction substantially orthogonal to the scroll direction. Alternatively, the plurality of display areas W1 and W2 may be, for example, tiled display areas arranged two-dimensionally in a scroll direction and a direction substantially orthogonal to the scroll direction. Further, the number of the plurality of display areas W1 and W2 is not limited to two, and may be three or more. Further, the plurality of display areas W1 and W2 may have the same size and the same shape, or may have different sizes and different shapes.

  For example, the display unit 155 arranges and displays the web content C10 on the content C20. Specifically, the display unit 155 includes a web content C10 in which a content C20 arranged on the back of the web content C10 and a plurality of display areas W1 and W2 for transmitting the content C20 arranged on the back are arranged adjacently. And are displayed.

  The display control unit 156 controls the display unit 155 to execute the above-described display processing. Specifically, the display control unit 156 displays the content C20 in one display area W1 in the first display mode among the plurality of display areas W1 and W2, and displays the content C20 in the second display area W2 on the other display area W2. The content C20 is displayed in a display mode. For example, the display unit 155 displays the web content C10 and the contents C20 and C30 in the display mode illustrated in FIG.

  For example, the display control unit 156 may display a range corresponding to each of the display areas W1 and W2 in the content C20 in each of the display areas W1 and W2. Specifically, first, terminal device 100 stores the position of content C20 on the screen. Then, the terminal device 100 specifies the range of the content C20 corresponding to the display position of the display areas W1 and W2 displayed on the screen, and displays the specified range of the content C20 in the display areas W1 and W2. The content C20 displayed in the plurality of display areas W1 and W2 may be a part or the whole.

  The display control unit 156, for example, makes the visibility of the content C20 different between the one display area W1 and the other display area W2. Specifically, the display control unit 156 causes the content C20 to be normally displayed (the transmittance is 100%) in one display area W1, and reduces the visibility of the content C20 in the other display area W2.

  To give a more specific example of the visibility, the display control unit 156 may reduce the brightness or the saturation of the content C20 in another display area W2. The terminal device 100 may apply a so-called blur filter to the content C20 for the other display area W2. Thus, the content C20 displayed in the other display area W2 has a darker and more blurry display mode than the content C20 displayed in the one display area W1.

  Further, the display control unit 156 normally displays the content C30 having the relevance with the content C20 on the content C20 having reduced visibility in the other display area W2.

  The content C30 is not limited to the normal display with the content C30 superimposed only on the other display area W2, but the content C30 may be superimposed and displayed on one display area W1. Further, when the content C30 is displayed so as to be superimposed on both the one display area W1 and the other display area W2, different contents C30 may be displayed in the respective display areas W1 and W2. Further, the content C30 to be displayed in the other display area W2 is not limited to text information, and may be a moving image, an image, or the like as long as the information is related to the advertisement of the content C20.

  Further, when a scroll operation of scrolling the web content C10 is performed by the user's finger F10, the display control unit 156 scrolls the web content C10 with the content C20 fixed, and displays the plurality of display areas W1. , W2 are scrolled adjacent to each other.

  For example, when the plurality of display areas W1 and W2 are moved by a scroll operation, the display control unit 156 dynamically changes the display mode of each of the plurality of display areas W1 and W2 according to the display position after the movement. You may. For example, as the display positions of the plurality of display areas W1 and W2 approach the center of the screen, the terminal device 100 gradually improves the visibility of the other display areas W2, and when the terminal apparatus 100 is located at the center of the screen, May be displayed normally (that is, the display mode is the same).

  The display control unit 156 may have a display mode in which the enlargement ratio (or reduction ratio) of the content C20 is different in each of the plurality of display regions W1 and W2. Specifically, the display control unit 156 causes the content C20 to be displayed at a normal magnification for one display area W1, and the content C20 to be displayed at a predetermined enlargement rate (or reduction rate) for the other display area W2. You may.

  Alternatively, the display control unit 156 may change the state of the content of the content C20 in each of the plurality of display areas W1 and W2. For example, when the content C20 is a human face image, the display control unit 156 displays a face image as usual for one display area W1, and displays a skeletonized face image for the other display area W2. Is also good.

  In addition, when the display control unit 156 receives a selection operation of the display areas W1 and W2 by the user, the display control unit 156 performs different control on each of the one display area W1 and the other display area W2. For example, the display control unit 156 causes transition to different information in each of the one display area W1 and the other display area W2. Specifically, when one display area W1 is selected, the display control unit 156 hides the web content C10 and displays the entire content C20 arranged on the back. The display control unit 156 may display the entire content C20 and display new information on the content C20. For example, the display control unit 156 may display the content C20 as a still image in the display areas W1 and W2 in a state before selection, and may display the content C20 as a moving image in a state after selection.

  When another display area W2 in which the content C30 is displayed is selected, the display control unit 156 transitions to information on the content C30. In the case of FIG. 1 as an example, the display control unit 156 transitions to a restaurant reservation screen for advertising the content C20 or a reservation screen for reserving a plan for the content C30.

  Note that the display control unit 156 may change the display area of the web content C10 and the size of the display area of the content C20 in an arbitrary manner in order to realize the various display processes described above. Alternatively, the display mode of the content C30 may be changed. Such various changes can be arbitrarily set by, for example, control information distributed together with the contents C20 and C30.

  Next, a procedure of a display process executed by the terminal device 100 that has executed the control information will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the flow of a display process performed by the terminal device according to the embodiment.

  In the example shown in FIG. 7, the content C20 is described as an advertisement content. For example, the terminal device 100 requests distribution of the web content C10 to the content distribution server 30 in response to a user operation, and receives the web content C10 from the content distribution server 30 (step S101). In such a case, the terminal device 100 displays the web content C10 on the entire screen (Step S102). Then, if the obtained web content C10 includes an acquisition command, the terminal device 100 transmits a request (distribution request) for the advertisement content to the advertisement distribution server 20 (step S103).

  Here, the terminal device 100 determines whether or not the advertisement content has been received (Step S104). If the terminal device 100 determines that the advertisement content has not been received (step S104: No), the terminal device 100 executes step S104 again.

  Further, when receiving the advertising content (Step S104: Yes), the terminal device 100 arranges the plurality of display areas W1 and W2 of the web content C10 adjacent to each other and places the advertising content in the plurality of display areas W1 and W2. Are arranged and displayed (step S105).

  Subsequently, the terminal device 100 displays the advertisement content in the first display mode for one of the display areas W1 and W2, and displays the advertisement content in the second display mode for the other display area W2. The content is displayed (step S106).

  Subsequently, the terminal device 100 determines whether or not a page transition operation for changing the web content C10 to be displayed has been performed (step S107). If the operation has been performed (step S107: Yes), the page to be displayed is transited. (Step S108), and the process ends. In addition, when the page transition operation has not been performed (Step S107: No), the terminal device 100 executes Step S106.

  In the above, an example of the display processing by the terminal device 100 has been described using the display mode illustrated in FIG. However, embodiments are not limited to this. Hereinafter, a modified example of the display processing executed by the terminal device 100 will be described. The display processing described below is realized by, for example, processing performed by the acquisition unit 154, the display unit 155, and the display control unit 156, but embodiments are not limited thereto.

  For example, the terminal device 100 may display another content instead of the web content C10. Further, the contents C20 and C30 are not limited to contents related to advertisement. For example, the terminal device 100 may display arbitrary contents C10 to C30 including a character string, a pattern, an image, a moving image, and the like other than the advertisement by the above-described display processing. Further, the terminal device 100 may display contents C10 to C30 including a game or the like, or may display contents C10 to C30 including a so-called playable advertisement. Further, the terminal device 100 may display contents C10 to C30 including sound. Note that the character strings, patterns, images, moving images, games, sounds, and the like included in the contents C10 to C30 are not limited to those related to the advertisement.

  When displaying the content C10, which is a game content, instead of the content C10, the terminal device 100 may display auxiliary content such as a game menu or a tutorial as the content C20 or C30. In addition, the terminal device 100 may execute the above-described display processing when displaying a web page in an interactive format created by a technique such as flash or CSS when executing a game.

  Further, the terminal device 100 may display the contents C20 and C30 together with SNS (Social Networking Service) contents, a messenger application screen, a camera application screen, and any other contents, and execute the above-described display processing. . In addition, the terminal device 100 may display an arbitrary content such as a game, a map, a music playback screen, or a video playback screen, in addition to the web content C10.

  Further, the contents C20 and C30 may be distributed by the same server as the server that distributed the web content C10, or may be distributed from different servers. That is, when executing the above-described display processing, any mode can be adopted as a mode of the process of distributing the web content C10 or the content C20 or C30.

  The above-described terminal device 100 has performed the above-described display processing using the control information distributed by the advertisement distribution server 20 together with the contents C20 and C30. However, embodiments are not limited to this. For example, the terminal device 100 receives the above-described control information from the content distribution server 30 together with the web content C10, and receives from the advertisement distribution server 20 control instructions together with the contents C20 and C30. Then, the terminal device 100 may execute the control information received from the content distribution server 30 and execute the display process according to the received control instruction.

  Further, the terminal device 100 may download the application that causes the terminal device 100 to execute the above-described display processing and the like, and execute the application to implement the above-described processing.

  In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the distribution system 1 includes the advertisement distribution server 20 and the content distribution server 30 has been described. However, the advertisement distribution server 20 and the content distribution server 30 are formed as one device. Is also good. In this case, the advertisement distribution server 20 illustrated in FIG. 3 includes, for example, the content storage unit 32, the reception unit 34, and the distribution unit 35 illustrated in FIG. Then, when receiving an acquisition request for a web page from the terminal device 100, the advertisement distribution server 20 distributes a web page that does not include an acquisition command to the terminal device 100 together with the advertisement content.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which the content C20 is distributed from the advertisement distribution server 20 to the terminal device 100 has been described, but the content distribution server 30 may acquire the contents C20 and C30 from the advertisement distribution server 20. In this case, the request receiving unit 26 of the advertisement distribution server 20 receives an acquisition request for the content C20 from the content distribution server 30. The advertisement distribution server 20 distributes the contents C20 and C30 to the content distribution server 30. Further, the content distribution server 30 may distribute the web page not including the acquisition command to the terminal device 100 together with the content C20, C30 acquired from the advertisement distribution server 20, and realize the above-described display processing.

  Here, the terminal device 100 may take various logs related to the contents C20 and C30. For example, the terminal device 100 determines whether the content C20 and the content C30 are displayed, whether the display mode of the content C20 is changed, whether the content C30 is displayed, and how much the display size of the display area of the content C20 is changed. Even if a log indicating the display size of the display area of the web content C10 has been enlarged, how the scroll operation has been performed, whether or not the slide operation or the tap operation has been performed on the content C20 or C30, or the like, can be taken. Good.

  In addition, the terminal device 100 changes the size of the display area of the content C20 and then displays a log indicating whether or not the display has been returned to the initial screen, whether or not an operation to cancel the display of the content C20 or C30 has been performed, or the like. You may take. Further, the terminal device 100 may acquire a log indicating whether the contents C20 and C30 have been displayed a plurality of times. For example, after the content C30 is displayed, the terminal device 100 may obtain a log indicating whether or not the screen is updated and the content C20 is displayed again. Further, the terminal device 100 may acquire a log indicating whether or not the contents C20 and C30 are displayed a plurality of times by repeatedly performing the scroll operation.

  For example, if the user continues to display the content C20 without performing a scroll operation from the initial display, the terminal device 100 may obtain a log indicating that the user has interest in the content C20. Good. On the other hand, when the content C30 is displayed on the screen, or when the user performs various operations on the content C30, the terminal device 100 may take a log indicating the fact.

  The log acquired by the terminal device 100 in this manner is useful for updating the number of impressions and CTR of the content C20, C30, charging processing for displaying the content C20, C30, and the like, and reporting an advertising effect to an advertiser. Become a log. For example, as a result of the display processing, if the display area of the content C20 is reduced and enlarged a plurality of times, it is predicted that the user has shown an interest in the content C20 and C30.

  Therefore, a log indicating the number of times of display and the time of each of the contents C20 and C30 and each object, the number of times of change, the number of times of cancellation, and the like can be an index of whether or not the user is interested in the contents C20 and C30. . In addition, the number of times the content C20 is displayed, the number of times the scroll operation is repeated, and the like can be an index indicating the degree of recognition of the user for the advertisement.

  Therefore, the advertisement distribution server 20 may update the number of impressions, change the billing amount, and the like, using each acquired log.
