JP4796538B2 - How to associate comment data - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a method, a server, and a program for associating comment data with a Web page.

  In recent years, with the development of the Internet, Web pages such as homepages and blogs have been created as tools for transmitting and communicating various information. Such Web pages can be searched and browsed by an unspecified number of users by various search engines, but it is difficult to reach a desired page from a huge number of Web pages.

  Therefore, some search engines perform processing such as calculating the importance of a Web page to be searched and preferentially displaying a Web page having a high importance. For example, an index called a page rank (registered trademark) is used as the importance of the Web page (see Non-Patent Document 1).

According to this method, as shown in FIG. 1 (details will be described later), a point given to a link from another page to a certain Web page is added to the point of the Web page. As a result, the higher the point, the higher the page rank (registered trademark) of the Web page. In other words, the importance of Web pages that are referred to from many other pages and Web pages that are referred to from other pages with high importance are highly evaluated.
Lawrence Page, Sergey Brin, Rajev Mottani, Terry Wingrad, “The PageRank Citration Ranking: Bringing Order to the Web”, 1998, [online], [http: // www. www-db.stanford.edu/~backrub/pageranksub.ps>

  When calculating the importance level of a Web page by such a method, since the evaluation is based on a link between pages, the importance level of a Web page that is highly interested from around (other Web pages) is highly evaluated. For example, according to the trackback function provided in many blog pages, it can be expected that the importance is calculated to be high by generating the mutual link.

  However, in a Web page that takes a form in which comments from other users are written in the same page, there is no link between Web pages regarding these comments. However, it is difficult to evaluate properly. For example, many blog pages have such a comment input function in addition to the trackback function. However, the number of links to the blog page does not increase even if the number of comments is increased.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for associating a comment with a Web page so that the importance of the Web page is improved by inputting the comment.

  For the above purpose, the following are specifically provided.

(1) A method of associating comment data with a Web page,
Receiving an input request for the comment data in the Web page;
Generating a new web page that includes link data for the web page and accepts the input of the comment data in response to accepting the input request;
Updating the new web page based on the received comment data;
Inserting link data for the new web page into the web page.

  According to such a configuration, the server executing the method receives a comment data input request in the Web page, and includes the link data for the Web page in response to the input request, and inputs the comment data. A new Web page is generated, the new Web page is updated based on the received comment data, and link data for the new Web page is inserted into the Web page that has received the comment data input request.

  As a result, the comment data for the web page (blog page) is generated as a new web page (comment page) different from the web page (blog page). As a result, the importance level of the blog page is calculated to be high.

  (2) The method according to (1), further including a step of generating a new Web page in order to accept new comment data for the comment data in the new Web page.

  According to such a configuration, the server executing the method generates a new Web page for the new Web page (comment page) in which the comment data is input, and inputs the comment data for the comment data. Can be made.

  This makes it possible to generate Web pages having a hierarchical structure called comments for comments and associate them with each other by links. As a result, the importance of the original Web page (blog page) increases as the number of comments input across multiple hierarchies increases. The present invention does not limit the number of hierarchies of this hierarchical structure (tree structure).

  (3) The method according to (1) or (2), further including a step of receiving an edit input of the comment data in the new Web page.

  According to such a configuration, the server that executes the method receives an edit input of the comment data in a new Web page generated for inputting the comment data. As a result, the convenience for comment input and editing is improved, and for example, an input error can be easily corrected.

  Note that the number of users who can edit and input may be limited. For example, user authentication such as a user who inputs a comment or a user who creates a blog page may be performed.

(4) receiving a link data deletion request for the new Web page inserted into the Web page;
The method according to any one of (1) to (3), further comprising a step of deleting link data for the new Web page and deleting the new Web page in response to receiving the deletion request. the method of.

  According to such a configuration, the server that executes the method receives a request to delete link data for a new Web page (comment page) inserted into the Web page (blog page), and has received a deletion request. In response, the link data for the new Web page (comment page) is deleted, and the new Web page (comment page) is deleted.

  Thereby, the server can cancel the input of the comment data by deleting the comment page and the link to the comment page in response to the deletion request. Note that the number of users that can be deleted may be limited. For example, user authentication such as a user who inputs a comment or a user who creates a blog page may be performed.

  (5) The method further includes inserting summary data indicating at least part of the comment data into the Web page in association with link data for the new Web page inserted into the Web page. The method in any one of.

  According to such a configuration, the server that executes the method associates one or more keywords extracted from the input comment data with the link data to be inserted into the Web page (blog page) by the link data. Display.

  In the Web page (blog page), when only link data to comment data exists, the browsing user cannot understand the content of the comment unless accompanied by page transition. However, by displaying the summary data extracted from the comment data, the browsing user may be able to grasp the type of comment (impression, evaluation, etc.) and the outline.

  (6) The method according to (5), wherein the summary data is a keyword extracted from the comment data and characterizing the comment data.

  According to such a configuration, the server that executes the method extracts keywords that characterize the comment data as summary data, so that the viewing user can more effectively grasp the content of the comment.

  Note that conventional methods such as morphological analysis and dependency analysis can be used for the keyword extraction method.

(7) A server that associates comment data with a Web page,
Means for accepting an input request for the comment data in the Web page;
Means for generating a new Web page including link data for the Web page and receiving the input of the comment data in response to receiving the input request;
Means for updating the new web page based on the received comment data;
Means for inserting link data for the new web page into the web page.

  According to such a configuration, the same effect as in (1) can be expected by operating the server.

(8) A program for associating comment data with a Web page,
Receiving an input request for the comment data in the Web page;
Generating a new web page that includes link data for the web page and accepts the input of the comment data in response to accepting the input request;

  According to such a configuration, the same effect as in (1) can be expected by executing the program on the server.

  According to the present invention, the comment can be associated with the Web page so that the importance of the Web page is improved by inputting the comment.

  An example of a preferred embodiment according to the present invention will be described below based on the drawings. In this embodiment, a Web page is described as a blog page, and a new Web page to be generated is described as a comment page.

[Principle of importance calculation]
FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram showing a web page importance calculation method according to an example of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. In an actual search engine, there are many cases where other factors are also taken into account, but the principle of a part that greatly affects the calculation of the importance will be described.

  A plurality of Web pages are usually associated with each other by links. The importance is calculated from the idea that the more the links from other web pages are, the more interested the web page is, and the points given to each link are added to obtain the points of the web page.

  Specifically, page C has a total of 53 points, the link from page A (50 points) and the link from page B (3 points). Here, the link from page A to page C and the link from page A to page D are both 50 points because 100 points of page A are equally divided by the number of links. Similarly, for the link from page B, 9 points are divided into 3 equal parts.

  In this way, the importance of each Web page is evaluated based on the calculated points. That is, since the point increases about the web page linked from many pages and the web page linked from a page with high importance, it is evaluated that importance is high.

[Outline of processing]
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an outline of the comment data association method according to an example of the preferred embodiment of the present invention.

  As shown to (A), since the comment data with respect to a web page (blog page) is normally inserted in the same web page, the link which affects calculation of importance is a plurality of web pages (blog page). The links are limited to each other, and importance does not increase due to an increase in comment data (increase in viewing users).

  Therefore, as shown in (B), comment data is inserted into a newly generated Web page (comment page). By generating a new Web page (comment page), links to the blog page are increased, and the points calculated relative to other blog pages are increased. That is, as the comment data increases, the calculated importance increases.

[Function configuration]
The configuration of the server 10 for realizing such a method will be described below. FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating functions of the server 10 according to an example of the preferred embodiment of the present invention.

  The server 10 includes a page display unit 110, a comment page generation unit 120, a comment input unit 130, a link generation unit 140, and a Web page DB.

  The page display unit 110 reads page data from the Web page DB 150 and transmits the page data to the terminal device 20 in response to a request from the user terminal device 20. Thereby, the web page is displayed on the terminal device 20.

  The comment page generation unit 120 receives a comment input request for the Web page (blog page) displayed on the terminal device 20, and generates a comment page as a new Web page. The page data related to the generated comment page is stored in the Web page DB 150.

  The comment input unit 130 receives comment data from the user of the terminal device 20 for the generated comment page. The accepted comment data is inserted into the comment page and stored in the Web page DB 150 as page data.

  The link generation unit 140 inserts a link to the blog page to be commented (updates the page data) in the comment page. In addition, even if a new comment page is generated by inserting a link to the comment page (updating the page data) on the blog page, the user can view the comment data by a page transition from the blog page. can do.

  The web page DB 150 stores page data of web pages managed by the server 10. The page data generated and updated by the comment page generation unit 120, the comment input unit 130, and the link generation unit 140 is stored and transmitted to the terminal device 20 by the page display unit 110.

[Processing flow]
FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a processing flow of the server 10 according to an example of the preferred embodiment of the present invention.

  In step S <b> 11, the comment page generation unit 120 receives a comment input start request from the terminal device 20. Specifically, for example, the start request is accepted in response to a user pressing a button arranged on a Web page (blog page) displayed on the terminal device 20.

  In step S12, the comment page generation unit 120 newly generates a comment page in response to the start request in step S11. This is a new Web page for inputting a comment, and the page data is registered in the Web page DB 150.

  In step S13, the comment input unit 130 accepts input of comment data from the user in the comment page generated in step S12. Specifically, an input field is provided on the comment page, and input data from the user of the terminal device 20 is received.

  Note that the received data is not limited to text data, and various types of data such as images and sounds may be input.

  In step S14, the comment input unit 130 inserts the comment data received in step S13 into the page data stored in the Web page DB 150, and updates the comment page.

  In step S15, the link generation unit 140 inserts mutual link data into the blog page and the comment page. Specifically, a link to the comment page is displayed in the conventional comment display field on the blog page, and a link to the blog page is displayed on the comment page.

  Thereby, a blog page and a comment page can switch a display by a page transition mutually. Or it is good also as displaying as another screen (window) by pressing down of a link.

[Screen example]
5 to 8 show examples of screens by comparing a conventional blog page with a blog page according to an example of a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

  In the conventional blog page of FIG. 5, comments written by other users who browsed are displayed along with blog articles. The importance of the blog page is expected to increase as the number of writes from other users increases. However, as described above, in the method of calculating the importance by the link between pages, the blog page There is no change in importance.

  In the blog page in the present embodiment in FIG. 6, a link 31 for transitioning to another web page is displayed in the comment display field. In this example, a comment posting date and a posted user name are displayed as the link 31. The browsing user can display the comment page (for example, FIG. 8) in which the comment content is input by clicking the link 31.

  Here, the comment button 30 is a button for posting a new comment. When the user presses the comment button 30, the comment page generation unit 120 of the server 10 generates and displays a new Web page (for example, FIG. 7).

  FIG. 7 is a screen display example of a comment page newly generated from a blog page according to an example of the preferred embodiment of the present invention.

  The comment page includes an input field 41, a posting button 42 and a cancel button 43. The comment data input in the input field 41 is reflected as page data by the comment input unit 130 when the post button 42 is pressed and stored in the Web page DB 150.

  Further, when the cancel button 43 is pressed, the comment page generation unit 120 deletes the generated comment page and returns to the state before the comment button 30 is pressed. Accordingly, the comment page generation unit 120 also deletes the page data stored in the Web page DB 150.

  In the comment page, there is a link 40 to the blog page, and when the link 40 is pressed, a transition to the blog page is made. The presence of this link 40 increases the number of links from other web pages to the blog page. As a result, the importance level of the blog page is highly evaluated as compared to before the comment is input.

  FIG. 8 is a screen display example of a comment page according to an example of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. This example reflects the comment data received in FIG. 7 and is a page displayed by transition from the link 31 in FIG.

  By accepting the pressing of the update button 44, the comment input unit 130 reflects the content input to the input field 41 in the page data and updates the Web page DB 150.

  Note that the user who can make the correction input may be limited to the posted user, the blog page creation user, the management user of the server 10, or the like. In this case, for example, an update password can be set when posting a comment, and the server 10 can store the password in association with the comment page.

  Further, by accepting the pressing of the comment button 30, the comment page generation unit 120 generates a new comment page. This is a Web page similar to the example shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, but the link 40 to be displayed on the new comment page indicates the comment page where the comment button 30 is pressed.

  In this way, it is possible to post a comment on a comment, so that a comment page group having a hierarchical structure (tree structure) that is mutually referenced by the links 31 and 40 is generated. As a result, the degree of interest from the browsing user is reflected as a link between Web pages, so the importance of the blog page is highly evaluated.

  FIG. 9 is an example of a screen displaying comment summary data on a blog page according to an example of the preferred embodiment of the present invention.

  In this example, text data extracted from the comment data is displayed under each link 31. For example, a predetermined character may be extracted from the beginning of the comment data.

  In addition, if a technique such as morphological analysis or dependency analysis is used, a combination of keywords that characterize comment data can be extracted effectively. Thereby, the browsing user may be able to easily grasp what kind of comment (for example, evaluation, impression, etc.) is posted on the article on the blog page.

  Furthermore, when the comment data includes an image, a voice, or the like, for example, a characteristic part of the image, text data extracted from the voice data by voice recognition technology, or the like may be displayed.

  By displaying the summary data in this way, the space in the blog page can be reduced compared to the full text display, and the viewing user can grasp only the desired comment data by grasping the type and content of the comment from the summary data. You can browse efficiently.
