  For example, even if a user browsing a portal site that includes a link to the “Cooking Recipe” page wants to know “Cooking Recipe”, the “Cooking Recipe” link on the portal site is displayed. Since it cannot be recognized, a phenomenon occurs that the user leaves the portal site and moves to another “recipe” site. This leads to a decrease in the number of page views and loss of electronic commerce opportunities, which is undesirable for portal site providers.

  In connection with the above problems, there is a technique for recommending a user to browse a specific Web page. By using such a technique, for example, regarding a web page (a page of a product such as a book) browsed by a certain user, other web pages browsed by other users who browsed the web page are referred to as the above users. A service to present is provided. According to this service, for example, for a user who is interested in a specific product, it is possible to recommend another product that has a high possibility of the user's interest and has little opportunity to know. “Awareness” can be provided.

(System operation)
Next, the operation of the system shown in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to a sequence chart and the like.

<Log collection / analysis processing>
First, log collection, correlation table creation, and interesting word extraction operations that serve as a basis for creating recommendation information will be described with reference to a sequence chart shown in FIG. In the sequence chart of FIG. 5, only main functional units related to this operation in each device are shown.

  In the stage before the processing shown in FIG. 5, based on the user operation on the user terminal 3, the Web page browsing processing unit 33 of the user terminal 3 causes the target Web page (Web page of the portal site) to be the Web site providing apparatus 2. It is assumed that the screen of the Web page is displayed on the operation / display unit 35.

  In the present embodiment, when the user terminal 3 acquires a Web page, the Web page browsing processing unit 33 or the log collection and transmission unit 32 analyzes the Web page, divides it into elements, and assigns a predetermined value to the element. An identifier (called element identification information) according to a rule (in order from the top, etc.) is attached, and for each element, the element identification information, the text corresponding to the element, and the display position on the screen are associated with each other. It is assumed that it is stored in a storage means (memory or the like) in the user terminal 3 as a database.

  The above element is, for example, a link (information indicating the location of another resource) in a Web page, and the text is the text that is the starting point of the link (that is, the sentence that is clicked to access another resource). It is. The elements that can be divided differ depending on the analysis method described above, but in the present embodiment, at least the type of element includes a link, and in the following description, the description is made assuming that the element is a link. Shall.

  In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the target Web page is analyzed by the same analysis method in each user terminal, and element identification information is attached according to the same rule. Therefore, when certain element identification information is specified for the target Web page, the element is uniquely determined in each user terminal.

  In this state, the user performs an operation such as clicking a certain link on the Web page. At this time, the log collection transmission unit 32 uses the click position information (position information on the screen) acquired from the operation / display unit 35 to acquire the element identification information and the corresponding text from the database, These are transmitted as operation history information (log) to the recommended information providing apparatus 1 together with user identification information (step 1). The user identification information may be of any type as long as it is information for identifying the user terminal 3 or the user. For example, cookie information can be used as the user identification information.

  The log collection / save unit 11 of the recommendation information providing apparatus 1 receives the operation history information and the user identification information, and stores them in the log storage unit 111 together with the current time (step 2). Such a log collection and accumulation operation is continuously performed in many user terminals with respect to a target Web page. FIG. 6 shows an example of a log recorded in the log storage unit 111.

  The user operation correlation analysis unit 12 sends a log extraction request to the log collection storage unit 11, and the log collection storage unit 11 reads the log from the log storage unit 111 and passes it to the user operation correlation analysis unit 12 (steps 3 and 4). ). Of course, the user operation correlation analysis unit 12 may directly read and acquire the log from the log storage unit 111. The same applies to the information acquisition operations in the following units. The logs acquired here are, for example, logs from the past to the latest for a fixed time from the present time.

  The user operation correlation analysis unit 12 analyzes the correlation between the elements on which the user operation has been performed using the acquired log, and stores the analysis result as a correlation table in the correlation table storage unit 121 (step 5). An example of creating a correlation table will be described next.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 7, it is assumed that the target web page includes four elements (links), and the element identification information is link 1, link 2, link 3, and link 4. Assume that the log corresponding to the Web page is as shown in FIG.

  By referring to the log, the user operation correlation analysis unit 12 identifies that the user A who has performed an operation on the link 1 is also performing an operation on the link 3 and the link 2 once. In relation to 1, 1 is added to each of link 3 and link 2. In addition, since the user B who performed the operation on the link 1 performed the operation on the link 3 once, the user operation correlation analysis unit 12 performs the operation on the link 3 in relation to the link 1. Add one. By performing such processing, a correlation table between elements as shown in FIG. 8 is created and stored in the correlation table storage unit 121.

  From such a correlation table, for example, when link 1 is clicked, link 3 is most frequently clicked as another link, so link 3 has the highest correlation with link 1, so link 1 On the other hand, it can be determined to recommend the link 3 or the like. The above-described example is a simple example, and the method of obtaining the correlation table is not limited to this, and various methods for obtaining the correlation matrix may be generally used.

  Further, the user operation correlation analysis unit 12 may hold data that is a basis for creating the correlation table and refer to it later. The data includes data indicating which user's click is added when the number of clicks is added.

  Following the processing of step 5 in FIG. 5, the interested word extraction unit 13 acquires text related to the user operation and corresponding user identification information from the log collection storage unit 11 (steps 6 and 7). Then, the interesting word extracting unit 13 analyzes the acquired text for each user, performs processing such as detecting frequent words, extracts the interesting word, and stores it in the interesting word storage unit 131 (step 8). ). FIG. 9 shows an example of information stored in the interesting word storage unit 131.

<Operation recommendation processing>
Next, the recommendation information is created using the information obtained by the log collection / analysis processing, the recommendation information is transmitted to the user terminal 3, and the display for recommending the operation is performed on the user terminal 3. The operation will be described along the sequence chart shown in FIG. Also in the sequence chart of FIG. 10, only main functional units related to this operation in each device are shown.

  In the user terminal 3, the Web page browsing processing unit 33 acquires and displays the target Web page. At this time, the recommendation presentation unit 34 in the web page receives information indicating that the target web page is acquired or displayed from the web page browsing processing unit 33 and recognizes that the operation recommendation process for the target web page should be performed. .

  The web page recommendation presentation unit 34 transmits a user operation recommendation request including user identification information to the user operation recommendation unit 14 of the recommendation information providing apparatus 1 (step 11). Upon receiving the user operation recommendation request, the user operation recommendation unit 14 transmits an operation history request including the user identification information to the log collection storage unit 11, and the log collection storage unit 11 as an operation history corresponding to the user identification information. The element identification information is returned to the user operation recommendation unit 14 (steps 12 and 13). The element identification information at this time is, for example, from the current point in time for a predetermined time to the latest one.

  In addition, the user operation recommendation unit 14 acquires a correlation table from the user operation correlation analysis unit 12 (steps 14 and 15). Furthermore, the user operation recommendation unit 14 acquires an interest word corresponding to the user identification information of the target user terminal 3 from the interest word extraction unit 13 (steps 16 and 17). The acquired various information is stored in the storage means in the user operation recommendation unit.

  Then, the user operation recommendation unit 14 creates recommendation information based on the operation history (element identification information), the correlation table, and the interest word acquired as described above, and transmits it to the user terminal 3 (step 18). ). Here, for example, recommendation information is created by performing the following processing. This process will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  First, the user operation recommendation unit 14 extracts element identification information that is a predetermined number or more from the element identification information that is an operation history in the user terminal 3 (that is, that the number of clicks is a predetermined number or more). (Step 101).

  Subsequently, the user operation recommendation unit 14 acquires element identification information having a high correlation with the element identification information extracted in Step 101 from the correlation table (Step 102). For example, in the case of the correlation table shown in FIG. 8, if link 1 is extracted as element identification information in step 101, user operation recommendation unit 14 uses link 3 as element identification information having a high correlation with link 1, for example. get. This link 3 is recommended and displayed on the user terminal 3 as a recommended operation place for the link 1 that the user frequently clicks. Note that “high correlation” means that the value indicating the high correlation is equal to or greater than a predetermined value.

  Then, the user operation recommendation unit 14 combines the element identification information acquired in step 102 and the interesting word acquired in step 17 of FIG. 10 as recommendation information (step 103), and transmits this to the user terminal 3. (Step 104).

  Returning to FIG. 10, the recommendation presentation unit 34 in the Web page of the user terminal 3 that has acquired the recommendation information after Step 18 displays information based on the recommendation information on the already displayed Web page. An example of the display is shown in FIG. In the example of FIG. 12, the location of the text 3 corresponding to the link 3 recommended for the link 1 frequently clicked by the user is surrounded by a red frame and displayed. Also, if an interesting word ("Internet" in the example of FIG. 12) is included in a sentence (including the link text) displayed in the Web page, the interesting word and its surroundings are highlighted. To do.

  Further, in addition to surrounding with a red frame as described above, a description of a balloon such as “If you like a menu you like, you also like a menu with a red frame” may be displayed. If the location of the link to be recommended exists at a position that cannot be understood unless the Web page is scrolled, scrolling is prompted by, for example, blinking a downward arrow.

  Since the position information on the screen of each element in the Web page can be acquired from the above-described database, the user operation recommendation unit 34 searches the database based on information to be recommended (element identification information, words of interest). By doing so, the position on the screen where the display for recommendation (red frame or highlight) is performed can be acquired, and the display can be performed on the position.

<Processing for site administrators>
Next, an example of display processing in the website administrator terminal 4 will be described along the sequence chart of FIG. It is assumed that the site administrator performs a predetermined operation and makes an analysis result request in a state where the target Web page is displayed by the Web page browsing processing unit 43 in the Web site manager terminal 4.

  Then, the analysis result presentation unit 46 acquires the data including the correlation table and the user identification information based on which the correlation table was created from the user operation correlation analysis unit 12 (steps 31 and 32), and the user of each user Identification information and an interesting word are acquired from the interesting word extraction part 13 (steps 33 and 34).

  Then, the analysis result presentation unit 46 performs analysis processing such as cluster analysis on the acquired information in the correlation table, and which part of the user page that performs similar operations frequently uses in the Web page. Determine. That is, for example, when there is a user group that frequently clicks a specific link, the user group is determined as a user group that performs a similar operation, and another link that is frequently operated by the user group is extracted (step S1). 35). Moreover, the analysis result presentation unit 46 extracts an interest word for each user group (step 36). And the analysis result presentation part 46 displays an analysis result (step 37).

  A display example of the analysis result is shown in FIG. In the example of FIG. 14, it is obtained as an analysis result that the user group who frequently selects the link indicated by the text 3 clicks the link 2 frequently. In order to indicate that, the text 3 and the text 2 are predetermined. Highlighted in color (eg red). That is, this display indicates that a user group that frequently selects text 3 (text 2) also frequently selects text 2 (text 3). Moreover, the interesting word extracted with respect to the said user group is displayed. Thereby, it is possible to know the words that the user group is interested in.

(Effect of embodiment)
With the technology described in the present embodiment, it is possible to provide information on which other user who clicked a certain link clicked on another link. Further, when an explanatory note such as a news article matches the user's interesting word, the word can be highlighted.

  Also, by displaying the recommended locations graphically, navigation that is easily buried and difficult to notice with text information alone can be performed more intuitively and easily, and effective site navigation is possible.

  As a result, it is possible to realize navigation specialized for individual users even on sites such as portal sites where “everyone accesses” and “a wide variety of information is collected”. The problem of “difficult” and “difficult to recommend” is solved. In addition, it is possible to recommend new news articles and the like that are difficult to recommend by the conventional technique of recommending pages browsed in the past. In addition, since user acceptability and site recognition are expected to improve, an increase in page views and on-site stay time can be expected.

  Furthermore, by displaying a user group performing similar operations (clicking) obtained as a result of analysis in a visually easy-to-understand manner, for example, a user who clicks on a certain menu portion (such as a transfer guide) It is possible to inform the site administrator of the relevance between the elements in the page for each user group, such as clicking the menu part (sports article etc.). Moreover, it becomes possible to know what word each user group is interested in by showing the analysis result regarding the interest word of the similar group user. For this reason, the site administrator can perform effective Web site design.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications and applications are possible within the scope of the claims.
