[flowchart]
Next, the flow of processing in the content providing apparatus 1 will be described.
FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing for providing content to the mobile terminal 2 in the content providing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment.

In step S <b> 1, the control unit 14 (request receiving unit 141) receives content request request information from the mobile terminal 2.
In step S2, the control unit 14 (terminal information acquisition unit 142) acquires the user agent character string of the portable terminal 2 from the request request information received in step S1.

  In step S3, the control unit 14 (first determination unit 143) determines whether or not the user agent character string acquired in step S2 is stored in the display mode DB 131. When this determination is YES (when a user agent character string is stored), the control unit 14 (first determination unit 143) moves the process to step S7, and when this determination is NO (the user agent character string is If not stored), the process proceeds to step S4.

  In step S4, the control unit 14 (second determination unit 144) determines whether or not the user agent character string acquired in step S2 is stored in the temporary display mode DB 132. When this determination is YES (when a user agent character string is stored), the control unit 14 (second determination unit 144) moves the process to step S7, and when this determination is NO (the user agent character string is If not stored), the process proceeds to step S5.

  In step S <b> 5, the control unit 14 (preparation page transmission unit 145) transmits a preparation page to the mobile terminal 2 that transmitted the request request information.

The mode information is received, and the individual identification information and the display mode information are associated with the user agent character string acquired in step S2 and stored in the temporary display mode DB 132. When this process ends, the control unit 14 moves the process to step S1.

  In step S7, the control unit 14 (content transmission unit 147) determines that the user agent character string of the mobile terminal 2 acquired in step S2 is stored in the display mode DB 131 in step S3 or in step S4. A mobile terminal that, when determined to be stored in the temporary display mode DB 132, optimizes the content display mode based on the display mode information stored in the display mode DB 131 or the temporary display mode DB 132 and transmits a request request 2 to send. When this process ends, the control unit 14 ends the process according to this flowchart.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing for updating the display mode DB 131 and the temporary display mode DB 132 in the content providing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment. In addition, this process shall be performed regularly.

  In step S11, the control unit 14 (stored information update unit 148) adds up the user agent character strings stored in the temporary display mode DB 132 for each identical user agent character string.

  In step S12, the control unit 14 (stored information update unit 148) identifies user agent character strings whose total number of user agent character strings is equal to or greater than a predetermined number.

  In step S13, the control unit 14 (stored information update unit 148) stores the user agent character string specified in step S12 and the display mode information of the content associated with the user agent character string in the display mode DB 131. Let

  In step S14, the control unit 14 (stored information update unit 148), from the temporary display mode DB 132, displays the user agent character string specified in step S12, the display mode information of the content associated with the user agent character string, and Erase individual identification information.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the content providing apparatus 1 receives the content request request information from the mobile terminal 2 by the request receiving unit 141, and the user information from the received request request information by the terminal information acquiring unit 142. The character string is acquired, the first determination unit 143 determines whether the acquired user agent character string is stored in the display mode DB 131, and the second determination unit 144 determines whether the acquired user agent character string is When it is determined by the first determination unit 143 that it is not stored in the display mode DB 131, it is determined whether or not the user agent character string is stored in the temporary display mode DB 132. Also, the content providing apparatus 1 transmits request request information when the preparation page transmission unit 145 determines by the second determination unit 144 that the acquired user agent character string is not stored in the temporary display mode DB 132. The mobile terminal 2 includes a script for transmitting the individual identification information and the display mode information of the mobile terminal 2 to the content providing device 1, and transmits a preparation page for automatically transmitting the request request information. The information registration unit 146 receives the individual identification information and the display mode information of the mobile terminal 2 from the mobile terminal 2 that transmitted the request request information, and acquires the individual identification information and the display mode information and the acquired user agent character. The columns are associated with each other and stored in the temporary display mode DB 132. Further, in the content providing apparatus 1, when the first determination unit 143 determines that the acquired user agent character string is stored in the display mode DB 131 by the content transmission unit 147 or the acquired user agent character string is temporarily displayed. When the second determination unit 144 determines that the content is stored in the mode DB 132, the content display mode is optimized based on the display mode information stored in the display mode DB 131 or the temporary display mode DB 132, and the content Is transmitted to the portable terminal 2 that transmitted the request request information.

  When the content providing apparatus 1 transmits the preparation page, the user agent character string of the mobile terminal 2 is not stored in the display mode DB 131 and the temporary display mode DB 132. That is, the mobile terminal 2 is in a state where it has transmitted content request request information for the first time. In this case, the content providing apparatus 1 transmits a preparation page to the mobile terminal 2, receives the individual identification information and display mode information of the mobile terminal 2, and is acquired with the individual identification information and the display mode information. The user agent character string is associated and stored in the temporary display mode DB 132. In this state, since the mobile terminal 2 automatically transmits the request request information based on the preparation page, the content providing apparatus 1 changes the content display mode based on the display mode information stored in the temporary display mode DB 132. It becomes possible to optimize. In this way, even when the mobile terminal 2 transmits content request request information for the first time, the content providing apparatus can display the content in a state in which the display mode is optimized. The terminal 2 can provide content in an appropriate display mode.

  In addition, the content providing apparatus 1 uses the stored information update unit 148 to aggregate the user agent character strings stored in the temporary display mode information storage unit for each identical user agent character string, and the aggregated user agent character strings. Is stored in the display mode DB 131 from the temporary display mode DB 132, and the user agent character string and the display mode information of the content associated with the user agent character string are stored in the display mode DB 132. The character string, the display mode information of the content associated with the user agent character string, and the individual identification information of the portable terminal 2 are deleted.

  That the total number of user agent character strings is greater than or equal to a predetermined number indicates that the user agent character strings acquired from the plurality of mobile terminals 2 are the same. By the way, although the user agent character string can be camouflaged, the number of mobile terminals 2 that request the content request by camouflaging the user agent character string is the same as the portable terminal that requests the content without impersonating the user agent character string. Compared to the number of terminals 2, it is extremely small. That is, when the total number of user agent character strings is equal to or greater than a predetermined number, the user agent character string is highly likely to be an actual user agent character string of the mobile terminal 2. According to the above, the content providing apparatus 1 is a portable terminal 2 having a user agent character string by storing the user agent character string having the number of user agent character strings of a predetermined number or more in the display mode DB 131, The optimized content can be provided to the portable terminal 2 that has transmitted the request request information for the first time without transmitting a preparation page.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not restricted to embodiment mentioned above. The effects described in the embodiments of the present invention are only the most preferable effects resulting from the present invention, and the effects of the present invention are limited to those described in the embodiments of the present invention. is not.
