  Here, FIG. 3 shows a search result screen 500 that is displayed when the library holds the searched books. FIG. 4 shows a search result screen 510 displayed when the searched book is not held by the library. These search result screens 500 and 510 display the searched bibliographic data such as the title of the book, author information, publisher name, publication year, etc., and holding data such as the number of reservations, location, billing symbol, and material ID.

  During the execution of the HTML file data, the client terminal 10 executes a script embedded in the file data. In accordance with the execution of this script, the client terminal 10 requests the web server 30 for a link generation script (step S1-3). Specifically, the browser program of the client terminal 10 makes a script transmission request by transmitting a script identifier to an address included in the script (address of the script storage unit 32 of the web server 30).

  The web server 30 that has received the transmission request transmits the script specified by the received script identifier to the client terminal 10. Thereby, the client terminal 10 acquires a link generation script (step S1-4).

  Then, the client terminal 10 executes the acquired link generation script on the browser program. Thereby, the client terminal 10 first extracts predetermined data from the HTML file data (step S1-5). Specifically, first, the link generation script of the client terminal 10 specifies the number of holding data included in the HTML file data.

If the HTML file data does not contain holding data, the link generation script of the client terminal 10 is the ISBN included in the HTML file data.
The ISBN data of this book is acquired based on the item ID.

  On the other hand, when the holding data is included, the client terminal 10 acquires bibliographic data (data on the title, location, billing number, and material ID) of the book from the HTML file data. Also in this case, the link generation script extracts based on each item ID for specifying the book name, location, billing number, and material ID included in the HTML file data, and acquires the bibliographic data of this book.

  Next, the client terminal 10 generates a hyperlink according to the presence or absence of the extracted possession data (step S1-6). Specifically, when the holding data is not included, the client terminal 10 uses the link data in which the acquired ISBN data is included as a parameter in the URL data whose link destination is the book sales site server 40. Generate. On the other hand, if the holding data is included, the client terminal 10 generates link data in which the acquired bibliographic data is included as a parameter in the URL data whose link destination is the library information management server 20.

  Then, the client terminal 10 performs additional display of an object related to the generated hyperlink (step S1-7). Specifically, when the holding data is not included, a hyperlink click button 511 is additionally displayed in the footer portion as shown in FIG. Here, the click button 511 displays the phrase “refer to this book information at the bookstore”. If the holding data is included, a hyperlink click button 501 is additionally displayed in the header portion as shown in FIG. Here, on the click button 501, the phrase “display a browsing request form” is displayed.

  As described above, the hyperlink click button (511, 501) is additionally displayed, whereby the processing of the acquired link generation script is completed. Accordingly, when there is holding data, as shown in FIG. 3, a hyperlink click button 501 of “display a browsing request slip” is displayed in the header section together with information on the bibliographic data and holding data of the searched book. The retrieved search result screen 500 is displayed.

  If there is no holding data, as shown in FIG. 4, a hyperlink click button 511 of “Refer to this book information at the bookstore” is displayed in the footer section together with information on the bibliographic data of the searched book. The retrieved search result screen 510 is displayed.

  Thereafter, when the click button 511 is selected on the search result screen 510 shown in FIG. 4, the client terminal 10 connects to the link destination (step S1-8). Here, the client terminal 10 delivers the parameters (here, data regarding ISBN) included in the hyperlink to the book sales site server 40.

  And the book sales site server 40 searches the handling book data of the book. Specifically, the book sales site server 40 extracts handled book data that matches the received ISBN data from the handled book data storage unit 42. And the book sales site server 40 produces | generates the HTML file data containing the extracted handling book data, and transmits to the client terminal 10 which has transmitted the data of the ISBN.

Thereby, the client terminal 10 displays the search result (step S1-9). Specifically, the book sales screen 610 is displayed on the client terminal 10 by displaying the HTML file data received from the book sales site server 40 according to the browser program. The book sales screen 610 displays information about the titles, author information, publisher, publication year, form, ISNB, price, and cover image of the books handled in the book sales site server 40 for the searched books.

  If there is holding data, a click button 501 is displayed on the search result screen 500 as shown in FIG. 3 (step S1-7). In this case, when the link destination of the footer part is selected on the search result screen 500 shown in FIG. 3, the client terminal 10 connects to the link destination (step S1-8). Here, the client terminal 10 delivers the parameters (in this case, the bibliographic data of the books) included in the hyperlink to the form format data storage unit of the library information management server 20. As a result, the client terminal 10 displays the browsing billing slip screen 600 including this data (step S1-9).

According to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
In this embodiment, the library information management server 20 that has received a book search request from the client terminal 10 generates HTML file data based on the extracted book catalog data, and transmits this to the client terminal 10. The HTML file data includes content data of items to which identifiers for specifying holding data and the like and data acquisition script data are included. The client terminal 10 displays the retrieved book based on the received HTML file data (step S1-2). At this time, during the execution of the HTML file data, the client terminal 10 acquires the link generation script from the web server 30 (step S1-4) and executes it. Thereby, the client terminal 10 extracts predetermined data (step S1-5), generates hyperlink data according to the extracted data (step S1-6), and a link having the generated hyperlink data. The previous additional display is performed (step S1-7). For this reason, the client terminal 10 can display the search result of the book based on the HTML file data, and can specify the data of the contents displayed from the HTML file data. Then, a link destination corresponding to the search result can be generated from the displayed content data, and this can be displayed on the search result screens 500 and 510 and provided to the user. Therefore, user convenience can be improved.

  In addition, the client terminal 10 specifies the data of the item content using the item ID from the HTML file data. For this reason, even when the arrangement of items is changed by changing the display layout of the search result and the HTML file data is changed, the client terminal 10 can specify the content data and perform processing corresponding thereto. . Therefore, the process according to the search result can be performed more reliably regardless of the display layout.

  Furthermore, the hyperlink data is generated in the client terminal 10 by executing a script acquired from the web server 30. For this reason, the load of the library information management server 20 can be reduced. Therefore, since the search service can be provided to more users, the convenience for the users can be improved.

  In this embodiment, the library information management server 20 embeds a script in the HTML file data that is transmitted to display the book search result. Then, according to the execution of this script, the client terminal 10 sends a link generation script transmission request to the web server 30 (step S1-3), and acquires the link generation script (step S1-4). That is, in the HTML file data transmitted from the library information management server 20, a script that executes a simpler process than the link generation script is embedded. For this reason, even if a script is embedded to perform processing according to the content data, HTML file data with a small amount of data can be acquired from the library information management server 20. Further, since the link generation script is acquired from the web server 30, it is not always necessary to acquire the link generation script from the library information management server 30. Therefore, the load on the library information management server 20 can be further reduced.

  In this embodiment, when the acquired link generation script is executed, the client terminal 10 extracts predetermined data (step S1-5) and generates hyperlink data (step S1-6). At this time, the client terminal 10 generates a hyperlink that includes data relating to the searched book as a parameter, and performs additional display of the link destination (step S1-7). For this reason, the client terminal 10 passes information on the searched book as data to the next link destination only by the user selecting the link destination click buttons 501 and 511 displayed on the search result screens 500 and 510. be able to. At the link destination, based on the received data, it is possible to create a browsing bill for the book searched by the user, or to obtain information on the handled book from the book sales site server 40.
