  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  First, the configuration of a site list management system using the site list server (site list management device) according to the present embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the site list management system according to the present embodiment. In this site list management system, a client 1, a site list server 2, and a Web server 3 are connected via a network. The client 1 includes an RSS (Rich Site Summary) reader 5 and is, for example, a mobile phone, a PDA, a TV, a PC, or a car navigation system.

  The site list server 2 includes a user authentication unit 21, a site list creation unit 22, a user management table 31, a site list 32, an access history table 33, a ranking table 34, and an access environment determination table 35. The site list server 2 manages a user registered in advance in the user management table 31 and a site list for each user. FIG. 2 is a source code showing an example of the site list registered in advance in the site list server 2. The site list is described in, for example, OPML (Outline Processor Markup Language). The site list includes a list of feeds (RSS). Each feed includes a feed URL.

  The Web server 3 publishes feeds 41 and items 42 to the client 1 and the site list server 2. The feed includes a list of items (articles). Each item includes an item URL, a title, a creation time, and the like. Note that a plurality of feeds 41 and items 42 may exist, or may exist on different web servers 3.

  Next, an operation when the RSS reader 5 is activated in the site list management system will be described.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation when the RSS reader 5 is activated in the site list management system according to the present embodiment. First, in the client 1, when the RSS reader 5 is activated according to a user instruction (S <b> 11), the RSS reader 5 connects to the site list server 2. The user authentication unit 21 of the site list server 2 authenticates the user using the user ID and password in the user management table 31, locks the connection of the user, and sets a lock flag in the user management table 31 (S12). ). This lock prevents a plurality of connections to the site list server 2 with the same user account.

  FIG. 4 is a table showing an example of the user management table 31 according to the present embodiment. This user management table 31 has a record for each user. Each record has fields of user ID, password, site list ID, access history table ID, and lock flag. The user ID and password are used for user authentication. The site list ID is an ID of a site list registered in advance by the corresponding user. The access history table ID is the ID of the corresponding user access history table. The lock flag indicates whether or not the corresponding user is connected.

  FIG. 5 is a table showing an example of the access history table 33 according to the present embodiment. This access history table 33 exists for each user, and represents an access history to items by the user. The access history table 33 has a record for each access to an item. Each record has fields of access time, client type, access speed, access feed URL, access item URL, access type, access URL title, access URL category, and access URL creation time.

  The access time represents the time when access was performed. The client type is obtained by classifying the accessed client 1 into a predetermined type. For example, the client type is classified into three types “M” (mobile phone), “P” (PC), and “C” (car navigation system). The access speed is obtained by classifying the data rate [bps] at the time of access into a predetermined range. For example, the access speed is classified into two types: “9600” (when the access speed is less than 100 kbps) and “10M” (when the access speed is 100 kbps or more).

  The access feed URL represents the URL of the feed including the accessed item. The access item URL represents the URL of the accessed item. The access type indicates whether or not the access is the last access. If the access is the last access, the value is “Last”; otherwise, the value is 0. The access URL title represents the title of the article acquired from the accessed URL. The access URL category represents the category of an article acquired from the accessed URL. The access URL creation time represents the creation time of an article acquired from the accessed URL.

  Next, the site list server 2 acquires an access environment that is an environment of the client 1 that has performed the access (S13). First, the site list server 2 determines the client type by analyzing the header part of the request from the client 1. When the client 1 is a PC, the header portion includes an OS (Operating System) name, a display engine name, a browser name, and the like. When the client 1 is a mobile phone, the header portion includes a carrier name and a model name. Etc. are included. The site list server 2 has an access environment determination table 35 in which a character string that may be used in the header portion and a client type are associated in advance, and the character string in the access environment determination table 35 is obtained from the header portion of the received request. Search and determine client type.

  In addition, the site list server 2 measures the access speed by exchanging packets with the client 1. Further, the site list server 2 acquires the current time. Thus, the site list server 2 stores the acquired current access environment (current time, client type, access speed).

  Next, the site list server 2 creates a site list with an access profile (site list with access information) (S14). Here, the site list server 2 performs ranking processing on the site list.

  First, the site list server 2 refers to a record of connected users in the user management table 31, and acquires a site list corresponding to the site list ID and an access history table 33 corresponding to the access history table ID. Next, the site list server 2 feeds the site list based on the current access environment (current time, client type, access speed) and the access environment (access time, client type, access speed) in the access history table 33. A score X for each is calculated.

  First, the site list server 2 refers to the client type in the access history table 33, and if there is a record having the same client type as the current client type, the feed score X corresponding to the access URL of the record has a predetermined value. Add α. Further, the site list server 2 refers to the access speed in the access history table 33, and if there is a record having the same access speed as the current user access speed, the site list server 2 is predetermined as the feed score X corresponding to the access URL of the record. The value β is added. Further, the site list server 2 refers to the access time in the access history table 33, and if there is a record having the same day of the week and time zone compared to the current day of the week and time zone, the site list server 2 corresponds to the access URL of that record. A predetermined value γ is added to the feed score X.

  Next, the site list server 2 refers to the access time and the item creation time in the access history table 33 and sets θ = (current time−access time) × (access time−creation time). Here, α> β> γ> 0. Next, the site list server 2 calculates a feed evaluation value R = X / θ for all feeds. Next, the site list server 2 acquires a category included in the feed with the highest R based on the calculated R value and the access history table 33, and assigns a predetermined score R for a feed including the same category as the category. Is added, and the value of R is updated. Here, α> β> γ> η> 0. Next, the site list server 2 stores the feed in the site list and the value of R as a ranking table 34, and sorts the feed in descending order of R. Here, feeds with R smaller than a predetermined value are excluded from the ranking table 34. Here, the feed category having the highest R is selected as the target of addition, but a feed category having R higher than a predetermined value may be selected.

  In the present embodiment, the site list server 2 refers to the access history table 33 of the connected user and calculates R. However, the site list server 2 refers to the access history table 33 of other users and Calculation may be performed. In this case, by referring to the access history table 33 of the user having the same feed URL in the access history table 33 or the access history table 33 of the user having the same access environment, a site list suitable for the same preference and access environment Can be created.

  Next, the site list server 2 adds the value of R and the access profile part to each feed sorted in descending order of R based on the site list 32 and the ranking table 34, thereby obtaining the site list with an access profile. create. FIG. 6 is a source code showing an example of a site list with an access profile according to the present embodiment. This figure shows a site list with an access profile based on the site list of FIG. First, for each feed, the value of the feed evaluation value R is added as “rank”. Next, for each feed, an access profile portion (a portion from “<!-” To “->”) representing information related to access to an item in the feed is added. An access time “Access_date”, client type “Client_type”, access speed “bps_rate”, latest item URL “Last_item”, and read item number “Accessed_item” are added to the access profile portion.

  The access time is the last access time. Client types are classified into the client types described above, and the number of accesses for each client type is recorded. The access speed is classified into a predetermined access speed range, and the number of accesses for each access speed range is recorded. Here, the site list server 2 refers to the access history table 33, counts the number of accesses for each client type and the number of accesses for each access speed for each feed in the site list, and records them in the access profile portion.

  The latest item URL represents the URL of the latest item in this feed. The read item number is an item number assigned in order from the new item in this feed (the latest item is 0), and only the item number of the read item is listed.

  Next, the site list server 2 transmits a site list with an access profile to the client 1 (S15), and ends this flow. Next, the RSS reader 5 of the client 1 performs display according to the received site list with access profile.

  Next, an operation of displaying an article by the RSS reader 5 of the client 1 will be described.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of a display operation by the RSS reader 5 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 8 is a screen showing an example of display by the RSS reader 5 according to the present embodiment. This screen includes a menu display unit 11, a feed list display unit 12, an item list display unit 13, and an item content display unit 14. The menu display unit 11 displays the menu of the RSS reader 5. First, the RSS reader 5 displays a list of feeds in the site list with access profile on the feed list display unit 12 (S31). The value of R is added to the title of each feed. Further, the feeds are arranged in order from the largest R by the ranking process described above. Here, the number of unread items may be added to the title of each feed. Next, when one feed is selected by a user operation on the feed list display unit 12, the RSS reader 5 accesses the web server 3 of the corresponding feed URL based on the site list with an access profile and feeds the feed. Acquired and displays a list of titles of items in the acquired feed on the item list display unit 13 (S32).

  Here, the RSS reader 5 makes a read / unread determination for each item in the feed based on the latest item URL and the read item number in the access profile portion of the selected feed. Here, the RSS reader 5 searches for an item having the latest item URL from the items in the feed as the latest item, and determines that all items newer than the latest item are unread. Further, the RSS reader 5 determines that an item that is older than the latest item and that is located at the read item number from the latest item is read. In the item list display unit 13, an unread item is displayed, for example, with a large icon “●”, bold or dark color, and an already-read item is displayed, for example, with a small icon “•”, thin or light color. Since new items are usually added to the top of the feed, the items are arranged in order from the new one. However, the order of the items may be determined with reference to the creation time of the items in the feed.

  Next, when one item is selected by a user operation on the item list display unit 13, the RSS reader 5 accesses the item URL of the Web server 3 corresponding to the item selected based on the feed to access the item. And the item content (article) is displayed on the item content display unit 14 (S33).

  Next, the RSS reader 5 updates the access profile portion of the feed including the accessed item (S34), and ends this flow. Further, the processes S32, S33, and S34 are repeated according to the user's operation. Here, the RSS reader 5 updates the access time of the corresponding access profile part. Also, the RSS reader 5 increments a counter corresponding to the current client type among the client type counters of the corresponding access profile portion. The RSS reader 5 increments a counter corresponding to the current access speed among the access speed counters of the corresponding access profile portion. In addition, the RSS reader 5 updates the latest item URL of the corresponding access profile part. Also, the RSS reader 5 updates the read item number of the corresponding access profile part. That is, the latest item URL is set to 0, and the read item number is counted again and recorded.

  Next, the operation at the end of the RSS reader 5 in the site list management system will be described.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation when the RSS reader 5 ends in the site list management system according to the present embodiment. First, when the user instructs the client 1 to terminate the RSS reader 5 (S51), the RSS reader 5 connects to the site list server 2, and the updated site list with access profile is sent to the site list server 2. Transmit (S53).

  Next, the site list server 2 acquires the access profile part from the site list with access profile received from the client 1 and reflects it in the access history table 33 (S54).

  Here, the site list server 2 accesses the item accessed by the RSS reader 5 of the client 1 based on the feed URL and item URL of the site list with access profile and the latest item URL and read item number of the access profile part. I do. Next, the site list server 2 acquires the title and text of the item from the access result. Next, the site list server 2 automatically classifies the acquired text using the techniques of Patent Document 2 and Patent Document 3, and determines the category of the item. Next, the site list server 2 sets the obtained feed URL, item URL, item title, and item category as an access feed URL, access feed URL, access URL title, and access URL category, respectively, as an access history table. 33.

  Next, the site list server 2 unlocks the connection of the user of the client 1 (S55), and ends this flow.

  In the present embodiment, the RSS reader 5 updates the site list with the access profile and uploads it to the site list server 2. However, the RSS reader 5 uploads only the information related to the access profile portion to the site list server 2. You may do it. Alternatively, the RSS reader 5 may upload only the access history to the item URL to the site list server 2, and the site list server may update the access history table 33 using this access history.

  In this embodiment, the site list server 2 rearranges the feeds in descending order of R and creates a site list with an access profile. However, the site list server 2 does not rearrange the feeds, and the RSS reader The feeds may be rearranged using the value of R added for each feed when 5 is displayed.

  According to the present embodiment, the site list server 2 adds the access profile to the site list and provides it to the client 1, so that the user can use the same site list regardless of the access environment and can accurately Can be read / unread. In addition, the site list server 2 performs ranking processing based on the access environment and category, so that the user can browse a site list suitable for the access environment and preferences. In addition to the site list, information to be transmitted from the site list server 2 to the client 1 may be only information such as the latest item URL and a read item number.

  Moreover, the site list management apparatus according to the present embodiment can be easily applied to a server, and the performance of the server can be further improved.

  Furthermore, a program that causes a computer constituting the site list management apparatus to execute the above steps can be provided as a site list management program.
