Has been.
[0003]
The client-side personal terminal connected to the network transmits a request message for desired information in accordance with a predetermined communication protocol using a Web browser that is browsing software compatible with the Web, and thus the corresponding Web server. A Web page based on a response message returned from the user can be displayed on the screen.
[0004]
Normally, in a Web server, the information content of a Web site as an aggregate of all registered Web pages is updated regularly or irregularly, and the Web site is updated in response to an access request from a client. The update information is posted as, for example, “What's New” on a Web page that is a portal.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, if update information of a plurality of types of Web sites can be collected and displayed on a single Web page for a specific common field such as music, a user on the client side can access a plurality of types by a single access. Since the update information of the website can be acquired at one time, it is considered that the access requests for the website including the web page can be remarkably increased.
[0006]
However, if such a Web page exists, the information provider of the Web site himself / herself accesses each of the Web pages including the update information among a plurality of types of Web sites and collects each update information. Generally, each update information is created as a list in a desired style on a Web page.
[0007]
For this reason, the web page created by the information provider of the website may differ from the content intended by the information provider of the original website that posted each update information. In this case, the number of accesses from the user Could decrease.

[0028]
(2) Update information collection site provided by service providers
(2-1) Description of update information collection site
Next, the update information collection site provided by the service provider 3 on the network system 1 will be described.
[0029]
In the server 4 arranged by the service provider 3, for example, in a specific common field such as music, update information of the website is received from each server 6 arranged by a plurality of information providers 5 who wish to publish their own website. After collecting these, a Web site (hereinafter referred to as an update information collection site) is created by displaying them in a list on a single Web page based on ASP (Active Server Pages) using a Web browser. Has been made.
[0030]
As a premise, the server 6 arranged by the information provider 5 uses a Web browser to update the information content of its Web site regularly or irregularly in the HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) description language. In response to an access request in accordance with HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) from the personal terminal 2 possessed by the individual user, for example, “What's New” is displayed on the Web page serving as the portal (portal). "".
[0031]
For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the update information aggregation site RS created by the service provider 3 displays “update information aggregation site title” M1 at the top, and each Web site has a predetermined size. Display areas (dotted line frame portions) DE1 to DE3 are assigned, and a “participation application button” F1 is displayed on the bottom row in a GUI (Graphical User Interface).
[0032]
When the information provider 5 actually clicks the “participation application button” F1 in response to a mouse operation using his / her server 6, the service provider is informed via the network 7 that he / she wants to participate in the update information aggregation site RS. 3 is supplied to the server 4 arranged.
[0033]
In the allocation areas DE1 to DE3 of each Web site in the update information aggregation site RS, “Web site title” M2₁~ M2₃, "Update information" M3₁~ M3₃And "Image" M4₁~ M4₃Are displayed, of which "update information" M3₁~ M3₃The actual update contents are described in “Image Image” M4.₁~ M4₃Has a hyper link structure.
[0034]
That is, an individual user uses his / her own personal terminal 2 to “image” M4.₁~ M4₃Is clicked by the mouse operation, the “image image” M4 from the update information set site RS₁~ M4₃The web page is linked to (associated) with. "Update information" M3₁~ M3₃Even when a link is set in the text of the update content displayed in the screen, the screen moves to a related Web page in response to a mouse operation.
[0035]
Actually, the update information aggregation site RS is stored in a database (not shown) stored in the hard disk device 13 constituting the server 4 as a program PG1 described in SQL (Structured Query Language) as shown in FIG. It is registered. The program PG1, for example, is targeted at the table (Table) TB1 shown in FIG. 5, and the number of accesses to the update information aggregation site (RS) is set as a variable i on condition that the information provider 5 does not decline the provision of update information. (I is a natural number) is counted from the initial value 1, and an image image and a text frame of a predetermined size (horizontal width 80 [mm], vertical width 5 [mm]) are set in the allocation area of the update information aggregation site RS Is described.
[0036]
In the table TB1 shown in FIG. 5, for each information provider 5 described in the participant name column, in the update information set site RS, the contents of the update information, the presence / absence of decline of provision of update information, and The URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of the link destination of the image image, the vertical width of the allocation area, and the background color of the allocation area are described.
[0037]
In this way, when the individual user actually accesses the update information set site RS provided by the service provider 3 using his / her own personal terminal 2, the same reference numerals are assigned to the corresponding parts in FIG. 3 using the Web browser. An update information aggregation site RS as shown in FIG. 6 with a mark can be displayed on the screen.
[0038]
Further, the server 4 arranged by the service provider 3 is unique to the service provider 3 in the description part representing the update information in the Web site previously described in HTML by the server 6 arranged by the information provider 5. By describing a tag (that is, an HTML command), only update information can be easily extracted from a Web site held by the information provider 5 based on the tag.
[0039]
For example, in the HTML file PG <b> 2 as shown in FIG. 6, “Service Company Get” and “End Service Company”, which are tags unique to the service provider 3, following “What's New” which is the title mark of the update information. Is described as a comment that is not displayed on the Web browser, so that it is easy to recognize that the description between the “Service CompanyGet” and “End Service Company” (in the dotted line frame in the figure) is the content of the update information. It becomes possible to do.
[0040]
(2-2) First collective site creation processing procedure
The server 4 arranged by the service provider 3 uses the update information set described above based on the update information given spontaneously from the server 6 arranged by each information provider 5 who applied for participation in the update information set site RS. A site RS is created.
[0041]
When the service provider 3 actually creates the update information aggregation site RS, the CPU 10 in the server 4 starts the first aggregation site creation processing procedure RT1 shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 from step SP0, and continues to step SP1. Then, while accepting the participation of the information provider 5 who wants to publish the updated information on his / her website, the process proceeds to step SP2 and receives information from the server 6 arranged by the information provider 5 who wants to participate.
[0042]
Subsequently, in step SP3, the CPU 10 confirms and registers the information given from the server 6 arranged by the information provider 5 in the database in the hard disk device 13, and then proceeds to step SP4 to register the information properly in the database. It is determined whether or not it is possible, and the process returns to step SP3 again and repeats the same processing as described above until a positive result is obtained.
[0043]
Eventually, in step SP5, the CPU 10 assigns an update information data input screen P2 (FIG. 11), which will be described later, to the information provider 5 that is properly registered in the database, and then proceeds to step SP6, where the information provider 5 A unique ID (Identification) and a password are given to the server 6 arranged by the server, and the URL of the assigned update information data input screen P2 is presented.
[0044]
Subsequently, when the CPU 10 accepts the access of the URL of the provided update information data input screen P2 in step SP7, the CPU 10 proceeds to step SP8, as shown in FIG. 10 on the display of the server 6 arranged by the information provider 5. After displaying the correct ID / password input screen P1, the process proceeds to step SP9.
[0045]
In this step SP9, when the information provider 5 inputs a predetermined ID in the ID column M10 on the ID / password input screen P1, inputs a predetermined password in the password column M11, and presses the login button F2. The CPU 10 proceeds to step SP10, authenticates the ID and password received from the server 6 arranged by the information provider 5, and confirms it in the database.
[0046]
Subsequently, the CPU 10 proceeds to step SP11, determines whether or not the database is legitimate in the ID and password, and returns to step SP8 again until an affirmative result is obtained. The ID / password input screen P1 is newly displayed on the display.
[0047]
Eventually, in step SP12, the CPU 10 causes the update information data input screen P2 to be displayed on the display of the server 6 arranged by the information provider 5 that is properly confirmed in the database, and then proceeds to step SP13.
[0048]
In step SP13, the information provider 5 inputs the update date in the date column M20 on the update information data input screen P2, the title of the update information is input in the title column M21, and the image image is displayed in the image column M21. Is entered, the content of the update information is entered in the comment field M22, and the OK button F5 is pressed, the CPU 10 proceeds to step SP14 and receives the update received from the server 6 arranged by the information provider 5 Check the contents of the information data.
[0049]
When the reference button F4 on the right side of the image field M22 is pressed on the update information data input screen P2, a file to be referred to as an image is opened so that the information provider 5 can designate a desired image. In addition, when the reset button F5 is pressed, the contents described in the update information data can be canceled.
[0050]
Subsequently, in step SP15, the CPU 10 determines whether or not a description of public order and morals violation is included in the content of the update information data. If an affirmative result is obtained, the CPU 10 proceeds to step SP16 and enters the update information aggregation site RS. After posting the update information based on the update information data, the first collective site creation processing procedure RT1 is terminated in step SP17.
[0051]
On the other hand, when a negative result is obtained in step SP15, this indicates that the update information data includes a description of a violation of public order and morals. At this time, the CPU 10 proceeds to step SP18, and the information After sending a notification that the correction is necessary to the server 6 arranged by the provider 5, the process returns to step SP12 again to newly display the update information data input screen P2 on the display of the server 6 arranged by the information provider 5. Let
[0052]
The server 4 arranged by the service provider 3 in this way is changed from the server 6 arranged by the information provider 5 corresponding to the update information each time the information provider 5 changes the update information of its own Web site. By automatically transmitting, the contents of the update information aggregation site RS can be updated each time.
[0053]
(2-3) Second creation method of update information aggregation site RS
The server 4 arranged by the service provider 3 presupposes that the information provider 5 has a contract for posting updated information in advance on the Web site of each information provider 5 for a predetermined time. The update information aggregation site RS described above is created based on each update information by extracting only the update information from each Web site each time (for example, every hour) while sequentially accessing. .
[0054]
When the service provider 3 actually creates the update information aggregation site RS, the CPU 10 in the server 4 starts the second aggregation site creation processing procedure RT2 shown in FIG. 12 from step SP20. While accepting the participation of the information provider 5 who wants to publish the Web site, the process proceeds to step SP22 to receive information from the server 6 arranged by the information provider 5 who wants to participate.
[0055]
Subsequently, in step SP23, the CPU 10 confirms and registers the information given from the server 6 arranged by the information provider 5 in the database in the hard disk device 13, and then proceeds to step SP24, where the database properly registers the information. It is judged whether or not it is possible, and the process returns to step SP23 again and repeats the same processing as described above until a positive result is obtained.
[0056]
Eventually, in step SP25, the CPU 10 checks the update information of the website held by the information provider 5, and then proceeds to step SP26 to determine whether or not the update information of the website has been updated, and an affirmative result is obtained. If so, the process proceeds to step SP27.
[0057]
In step SP27, the CPU 10 updates information from the Web site of the information provider 5 based on the tag unique to the service provider 3 described in advance by the information provider 5 as shown in FIG. After extracting only the data, the process proceeds to step SP28 to check the contents of the update information data.
[0058]
Subsequently, in step SP29, the CPU 10 determines whether or not a description of public order and morals violation is included in the content of the update information data. If an affirmative result is obtained, the CPU 10 proceeds to step SP30 and enters the update information aggregation site RS. After posting the update information based on the update information data, in step SP31, the first collective site creation processing procedure RT1 is terminated.
[0059]
On the other hand, when a negative result is obtained in step SP29, this indicates that the update information data includes a description of a violation of public order and morals. At this time, the CPU 10 proceeds to step SP32, and the information After sending a notification that the correction is necessary to the server 6 arranged by the provider 5, the process returns to step SP25 again to check the update information of the Web site held by the information provider 5.
[0060]
In this way, the server 4 arranged by the service provider 3 sequentially accesses the Web sites held by the information providers 5 at predetermined time intervals, and receives only the update information from the Web sites whose update information has been changed each time. By extracting, the content of the update information aggregation site RS can be updated based on the update information.
[0061]
(3) Customization of update information collection site RS by individual users
When an individual user uses his / her own personal terminal 2 to display the update information aggregation site RS provided by the service provider 3 on the display, the update information of the Web site held by each information provider 5 as necessary The presence / absence of display of the update information, the vertical width and background color of the allocation area, and the display order of the update information can be customized and set with desired contents.
[0062]
The server 4 arranged by the service provider 3 receives the setting information stored in the personal terminal 2 of the individual user as a cookie (Cookie). It is made to be able to recognize whether it is used with the frequency of.
[0063]
Here, the cookie is an information file that is transmitted from the servers 4 and 6 to the personal terminal 2 of the individual user and stored on the hard disk of the personal terminal 2 on which the Web browser is operating. When accessing the Web page that issued the cookie again, the information of the cookie stored on the hard disk is transmitted to the servers 4 and 6 that are the registration source of the Web page.
[0064]
(4) Billing process associated with provision of update information aggregation site RS
Here, the server 4 arranged by the service provider 3 executes a considerable amount of charging processing for the information provider 5 that provided the update information each time the contents of the created update information aggregation site RS are updated. Each time the update information aggregation site RS is accessed by an individual user, a considerable amount of billing processing is executed for all information providers 5 that provide update information.
[0065]
In this case, since the update information aggregation site RS is a website that displays a list of update information provided by a plurality of information providers 5 on a single web page, the size and display of the allocation area of each update information The rank is determined according to the request of the corresponding information provider 5 or according to the setting contents customized by the individual user.
[0066]
Accordingly, the charge amount imposed on each information provider 5 increases as the corresponding update information allocation area is ensured wider in the Web page, and at the upper side of the Web page (that is, in a higher display order). The higher it is displayed.
[0067]
In addition, each time the update information aggregation site RS is accessed by an individual user, the charge amount imposed on each information provider 5 is the setting contents customized by the individual user (whether or not the update information is displayed, the vertical width of the allocation area, and It fluctuates according to the background color and the display order of update information.
[0068]
For this reason, the server 4 arranged by the service provider 3 has a count value of a variable i (i is a natural number) indicating the number of accesses in a program (FIG. 4) registered in a database stored in the hard disk device 13. Accordingly, the billing amount of the information provider 5 providing each update information is calculated, and the billing amount of each information provider 5 corresponding to the number of accesses is a table (hereinafter referred to as a billing table). ) Is registered in a database in the hard disk device 13.
[0069]
As a result, the server 4 arranged by the service provider 3 refers to the billing table for the individual user read from the database every time the update information aggregation site RS is accessed by the individual user, so that each information provider The charge amount of 5 can be easily determined according to the number of accesses for each individual user.
[0070]
(5) Operations and effects according to this embodiment

As a result, the contents of the update information aggregation site RS can be updated each time. As a result, the problem that the information contents become obsolete without the update information being posted can be avoided. Thus, the reliability of information for the individual user can be further improved.
[0073]
In this network system 1, the server 4 arranged by the service provider 3 sequentially accesses the Web site of each information provider 5 that has signed a contract to post update information in advance every predetermined time. By extracting only the update information from each Web site each time, it is possible to create the update information aggregation site RS based on the respective update information and update the contents.
[0074]
In this case, each information provider 5 uses its own server 6 to describe in advance a tag unique to the service provider in the description part representing the update information in the Web site. When the information provider 5 accesses a website, only the update information can be automatically extracted from each website based on the tag. As a result, each information provider 5 It is possible to save the trouble of separately inputting update information to be posted on the aggregation site RS, and the work burden on each information provider 5 can be reduced by this amount.
[0075]
Further, the server 4 arranged by the service provider 3 uses the personal terminal 2 to change the display state of the update information posted on the update information aggregation site RS to a desired display content. By receiving the setting information stored in the personal terminal 2 of the individual user as a cookie, the usage mode of the update information aggregation site RS by the individual user can be recognized. As a result, each information provider 5 To that effect, it is considered that the quality of the update information obtained next from each information provider 5 will be improved in accordance with the preference of the individual user. Can be created.
[0076]
According to the above configuration, in the network system 1, the server 4 arranged by the service provider 3 spontaneously separates from the server 6 arranged by each information provider 5 who applied for participation in the update information aggregation site RS. Based on the given update information or while sequentially accessing the Web sites held by each information provider 5 that has signed a contract to post the update information in advance every predetermined time, a predetermined tag is sent from each Web site each time. The update information aggregation site RS is created based on the update information extracted by the above, so that the individual user can access a plurality of types of Web sites in a specific common field according to his / her preference by one access. Implementation of the network system 1 that can acquire update information at a time and thus improve user convenience. It can be.
[0077]
In this network system 1, the server 4 arranged by the service provider sets the display state of the update information posted on the update information aggregation site RS to the desired display content by the individual user using his / her own personal terminal 2. When the information provider 5 is changed, each information provider 5 is made aware of the usage mode of the update information aggregation site RS by the individual user based on the setting information stored in the personal terminal 2 of the individual user. As a result, it is possible to notify the frequency of the update information request, and as a result, the quality of the update information of the Web site possessed by each information provider 5 is improved and the update information aggregation site RS is created.
