In the embodiment described below, “Embodiment 1” and “Embodiment 2” are shown as forms employing the above method (I).
“Embodiment 1” is a form in which a registration screen and a variation of a tag set are associated with a category obtained as an analysis result of bookmark information (URL, etc.), and “Embodiment 2” is obtained as an analysis result of bookmark information. This is a form in which a category is associated with data representing an API (application program interface) type and reflected on a registration screen.
In the third embodiment, the method (II) is adopted.

“Embodiment 1”
In the embodiment described below, the above method (I) is adopted as a method for adapting the registration screen format to the registration destination website. Here, the URL as the bookmark information of the SBM registration request is used. A method is adopted in which patterns are divided into a plurality of categories, a URL table (see FIG. 1) that associates a registration screen and a tag set variation with each of the patterns is prepared in advance, and a registration screen to be generated is selected.
The SBM server that generates the registration screen by the above method is a component of a server / client system connected to a network such as the Internet.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the SBM server of the present embodiment in a server / client system configured on a network. Hereinafter, the SBM server of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

In FIG. 1, a server / client system is configured by connecting a client 110 having a web browser and an SBM server 210 via the Internet. In FIG. 1, elements that should originally exist for configuring the server / client system are omitted. However, these elements are assumed to adopt a normal configuration including a web application. .
The client 110 has a bookmarklet 112 for performing a procedure for registering a web page as a bookmark in the SBM server 210 as an additional function of the web browser. This registration procedure is performed through operation of an input key, which is a user interface of a computer (see description below with reference to FIG. 9) that constructs the client 110, and output of a monitor screen.

  The SBM server 210 has a controller 212 for performing an operation of supplying the obtained information to the client 110 in response to various requests made by the client 110. The controller 212 has a request analysis unit 213 that analyzes a request received from the client 110, and responds to the request by instructing and executing processing according to the analysis result. In this embodiment, in order to analyze the bookmark registration request (refer to the description of the sequence diagram of FIG. 3 for a specific example) and generate a registration screen according to the analysis result, each of the SBM server 210 will be described later. The processing unit performs an operation necessary for generation, and responds to this request.

In response to the bookmark registration request, a view 218 for storing a registration screen template (template) 52 and a tag set 56 are stored in addition to the controller 212 as components included in the SBM server 210 to generate a registration screen. A tag storage unit 216 and a renderer 219 are included.
In accordance with the analysis result of the bookmark registration request, the controller 212 selects a matching template from the registration screen templates 52 stored in the view 218 and sends it to the renderer 219, which causes the renderer 219 to generate a registration screen from the template. .
When adding a tag to the registration screen, the user selects the registration screen template 52 stored in the view 218 according to the analysis result of the bookmark registration request, and at the same time sets the tag set 56 stored in the tag storage unit 216. A suitable tag set is selected from the above, sent to the renderer 219, and the renderer 219 performs a process of embedding the tag set in the template to generate an intended registration screen.

Next, the flow of the registration screen generation process in the server / client system of FIG. 1 will be described with reference to the sequence diagram of FIG.
According to the sequence of FIG. 3, first, when the web browser of the client 110 is searching for a web page, an input operation for requesting registration of the searched web page as an SBM (social bookmark) is performed via the user interface. Done. In response to this operation, the client 110 issues a bookmark registration request to the SBM server 210 (sequence Sq101). At this time, information on a web page to be registered such as a URL is attached to the bookmark registration request sent to the SBM server 210 as bookmark information.

When the SBM server 210 receives a bookmark registration request from the client 110, the controller 212 recognizes that it is a bookmark registration request, and then attaches the attached bookmark information (URL to be registered in this embodiment) to the request analysis unit 213. (Sequence Sq102).
The request analysis unit 213 analyzes which of the categories divided in order to generate a screen for registration of a compatible format to which the URL passed as bookmark information belongs, and obtains a compatible format as an analysis result ( Sequence Sq103).
The analysis method adopted here prepares a table representing the correspondence between the type of registration screen and the variation of the tag set that matches the URL pattern to be analyzed in advance as an analysis table, and refers to this table. In this method, the type of registration screen that matches the URL to be analyzed and the variation of the tag set are obtained as analysis results.

One example of this analysis table (hereinafter referred to as “URL table”) is shown in FIG. The URL table 54 illustrated in FIG. 1 has three URL patterns “http: //hoge/.*”, “http: //foo/a/.*”, and “. *”, Respectively. Different types of tag set variations (tag types may be plural or empty) and registration screen types are associated.
The procedure in which the request analysis unit 213 analyzes the URL using the analysis table 58 and obtains a registration screen or the like as an analysis result is as shown in the following (i) to (iv).
(i) It is determined whether or not the URL passed as bookmark information matches the pattern column in the first row of the URL table.
(ii) If they match, the tag set ID and registration screen ID of the corresponding row are obtained as analysis results, the process is terminated, and a registration screen is generated according to the generation conditions determined by the result.
(iii) If they do not match, the process moves to the next row of the analysis table, and it is determined whether or not it matches the pattern column of the next row.
(iv) The analysis table rows are sequentially shifted until they match, and if they do not match, the last row matches any URL as shown as “. *” in FIG. Place the default registration screen and tag set on the last line.

As described above, the URL pattern is analyzed using the URL table 54, and the registration screen ID and the tag set ID are obtained. Accordingly, the registration screen that matches the registration target web page (site) is obtained. The combination of the tag set identified by the tag set ID is combined with the template of the registration screen identified by the registration screen ID.
FIG. 2 illustrates a registration screen generated by this method. The screens 52n and 52s in the figure are provided with a URL field 521, a title field 523, a comment field 525, and a tag field 527, respectively.
FIG. 2A shows an example of a screen generated using a template determined for a case where the URL pattern is “http: // example ..”. For this URL pattern, the tag column 527 is blank because no condition is attached to the tag set. This screen is normally used and corresponds to the last line of the URL table 54 in FIG.
FIG. 2B is an example of a screen generated using a template determined for the case where the URL pattern is “notes: // schedule ..”. A tag set is given to this URL pattern. However, the tag set given in this example is such that a tag prepared in advance in the tag selection field 529 can be selected by a check box, and the tag selected by performing an input operation on the check box Are embedded in the tag field 527.
In the title field 523, the comment field 525, and the tag field 527, the user can basically freely enter text.

Returning to the processing flow, the controller 212 selects a matching template from the registration screen templates 52 stored in the view 218 in accordance with the analysis result of the request analysis unit 213 performed as described above, and the tag Since a suitable tag set is selected from the tag set 56 stored in the storage unit 216 and used to create a registration screen, a condition for performing the process is set (sequence Sq104). A process of embedding the selected tag set in the template selected according to the setting is performed to generate a registration screen (sequence Sq105).
The renderer 219 passes the generated registration screen to the controller 212 (sequence Sq106), and the controller 212 that receives this returns the registration screen generated by the SBM server 210 to the client 110 as a response to the bookmark registration request (sequence). Sq107).

As described above, according to the present embodiment, in the SBM as a web application, a screen in a format that matches the web page (site) to be registered when the SBM server registers a page is displayed. By providing it by variation, the work efficiency of page collection can be improved and the convenience can be enhanced.
In the above-described embodiment, an example in which a matching registration screen is configured by combining a template and a tag set has been shown. However, in a mode in which only a template for a registration screen is matched, a tag set to be combined with a default template is also used. May be implemented in a form that only adapts.

“Embodiment 2”
In the present embodiment, the method (I) is adopted as a method for adapting the registration screen format to the website of the registration destination. Here, the URL pattern as bookmark information of the SBM registration request is associated with data representing the type of WebAPI (application program interface), so that it is divided into a plurality of categories, and additional information on the registration screen is displayed using the WebAPI. It is intended to generate a screen that is acquired and reflected in the configuration of the screen and that matches the website of the registration destination.
The SBM server that generates the registration screen by the above method is a constituent element of a server / client system connected to a network such as the Internet as in the first embodiment.
FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the SBM server of this embodiment in a server / client system configured on a network. Hereinafter, the SBM server of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

For the argument, a parameter for acquiring data that can be used as additional information for configuring the registration screen from data of the Web API is selected. In other words, when accessing the Web API with an argument set, the return value of the given argument can be used as additional information for configuring the registration screen, so that the information corresponding to the accessed Web API can be obtained. Define the arguments. FIG. 5 exemplifies “user name in registration URL”, “title of registration destination”, and “date extracted from registration URL” in the Web API to be accessed.
The analysis table 58 in FIG. 5 shows an example in which one Web API is associated with the URL pattern, but a plurality of Web APIs may be associated.

The process of generating the registration screen is performed by the following operation.
First, when a bookmark registration request is received, the analysis table 58 is referred to by the URL pattern (information such as registration URL) 51 indicated in the request, and the Web API and the argument corresponding to the matching URL pattern are obtained. The obtained Web API is used as a request destination, an argument to be given to the Web API is added, and an access request is sent to the related server 255 or the like via the API calling unit 214.
The related server 255 or the like that receives the access request performs processing for acquiring data such as a user name, for example, according to the argument as a return value of the argument given from the held WebAPI 256, and returns the acquired data as a response to the request. .
The controller 212 of the SBM server 210 uses the data acquired from the request-related server 255 or the like as additional information to the screen in the registration screen generation process performed by the renderer 219 using the registration screen template 52. To create a screen that matches the registered website.

Done. In response to this operation, the client 110 issues a bookmark registration request to the SBM server 210 (sequence Sq201). At this time, information on a web page to be registered such as a URL is attached to the bookmark registration request sent to the SBM server 210 as bookmark information.

When the SBM server 210 receives a bookmark registration request from the client 110, the controller 212 recognizes that it is a bookmark registration request, and then attaches the attached bookmark information (URL to be registered in this embodiment) to the request analysis unit 213. (Sequence Sq202).
The request analysis unit 213 refers to the analysis table (correspondence table) 58 based on the URL passed as bookmark information, and obtains a Web API and an argument corresponding to the matching URL pattern. The obtained Web API is used as a request destination, and an access request is assembled with an argument given to the Web API (sequence Sq203).
The controller 212 transmits the assembled access request to the related server 255 or the like via the API calling unit 214 (sequence Sq204).

Upon receiving an access request from the SBM server 210, the related server 255 or the like responds to the request with data such as a user name and a registration destination title (the analysis table (FIG. 5 Correspondence table (58), reference) is performed (sequence Sq205), and the acquired data is sent to the renderer 219 of the SBM server 210 as a response to the request (sequence Sq206).
On the other hand, the controller 212 analyzes the URL pattern using the URL table 54 in the same manner as employed in the first embodiment, and adapts from the registration screen template 52 stored in the view 218 according to the analysis result. In addition to selecting a template, a suitable tag set is selected from the tag set 56 stored in the tag storage unit 216 (sequence Sq207) and used to create a registration screen. Set (sequence Sq208). Here, the data additional information such as the user name and the registration destination title received in the sequence Sq206 is also set to be used for creating the registration screen.

Next, the controller 212 embeds the selected tag set in the template selected according to the setting by the renderer 219, and also performs processing such as embedding additional information acquired from the related server 255 or the like in the sequence Sq206. And a registration screen is generated (sequence Sq209). At this time, the data additional information such as the user name and the registration destination title can be implemented by, for example, embedding in the comment field 525 (FIG. 2).
Thereafter, the renderer 219 passes the generated registration screen to the controller 212 (sequence Sq210), and the controller 212 that receives the registration screen sends the registration screen generated by the SBM server 210 to the client 110 as a response to the bookmark registration request. Reply (sequence Sq211).

As described above, according to the present embodiment, in the SBM as a web application, the SBM server displays a screen in a format that matches the web page (site) to be registered at the time of page registration by accessing the web API of the related server or the like. By using the acquired additional information for configuration, the work efficiency of page collection can be improved and the convenience can be enhanced.
In this embodiment, an example in which additional information acquired by accessing the Web API is embedded in the configuration of the first embodiment that combines a template and a tag set with a matching registration screen is shown. However, by accessing the Web API, The acquired additional information may be used alone for the registration screen.
