  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[overall structure]
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an overall configuration for explaining a system 1 and a terminal 3 according to the present embodiment. The system 1 includes a server 2 that distributes information, and a terminal 3 that is connected to the server 2 via a network and displays the information distributed from the server 2 in the order received. The terminal 3 does not ask a kind if it is a touch panel type. For example, the terminal 3 may be a mobile terminal or a digital signage installed in a store or the like.

  First, the configuration of the server 2 will be described. The server 2 includes a control unit 10. The control unit 10 is a part that comprehensively controls each function related to the server 2, and includes an information distribution unit 11 that distributes information to the terminal 3. The information distribution unit 11 functions as an information distribution unit.

  Next, the configuration of the terminal 3 will be described. The terminal 3 includes a control unit 30 and a storage unit 40. The control unit 30 includes a display priority specifying operation receiving unit 31 that receives an operation for specifying the display priority of information to be displayed on the terminal 3, and the storage unit 40 receives the display priority received by the display priority specifying operation receiving unit 31. A display priority database 41 for storing the contents of the ranking. The display priority designation operation receiving unit 31 and the display priority database 41 function as a display priority designation operation receiving unit.

  The display priority database 41 is illustrated in FIG. The display priority database 41 includes a “reception information ID” field for identifying a terminal (not shown) that has transmitted information to the server 2 and information transmitted from the terminal corresponding to the reception information ID to the server 2. And a “display priority” field for identifying the priority of actual display on the terminal 3. For example, when the user designates the priority order as reception information ID “A”, “B”, “C”, 1 is set for the reception information ID field A of the display priority order database 41. 2 is stored for B and 3 is stored for C.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the control unit 30 includes an information reception unit 32 that receives information distributed from the information distribution unit 11. The information receiving unit 32 functions as information receiving means.

  The control unit 30 includes an information display unit 33 that arranges the information received by the information reception unit 32 in order of reception and sequentially displays the information. The information display unit 33 functions as information display means. Here, “the order received” is the latest received order, and the information display unit 33 displays the most recently received information first, and other information is arranged in one direction retroactively to the time series. Is displayed. The information display unit 33 needs to be a touch panel type in order to perform a reduction operation and an increase operation described later, but there is no other limitation.

  The control unit 30 accepts an operation in which the user touches two points on the touch panel of the information display unit 33, and is a distance between the two touched points, and the direction of the arrangement of information displayed by the information display unit 33 Is provided with a reduction operation receiving unit 34 that receives a reduction operation for reducing the distance as an instruction to reduce the amount of information displayed on the information display unit 33. The reduction operation reception unit 34 functions as a reduction operation reception unit.

  When the reduction operation accepting unit 34 accepts the reduction operation, the information display unit 33 hides the information in descending order of display priority in response to the reduction operation accepting unit 34 accepting the operation.

For example, when the reduction operation accepting unit 34 accepts the reduction operation while the information display unit 33 displays the information of the received information IDs “A” to “C”, the information display unit 33 refers to the display priority order database 41. The amount of information displayed on the information display unit 33 is reduced by hiding the information of the reception information ID “C” having the lowest display priority. When the reduction operation accepting unit 34 further accepts a reduction operation, the information display unit 33 refers to the display priority database 41 and hides the information of the reception information ID “B” having the next lowest display priority. As a result, the amount of information displayed on the information display unit 33 is reduced.

  In addition, the control unit 30 accepts an operation in which the user touches two points on the touch panel of the information display unit 33, and further, the distance between the two touched points, and the arrangement of information displayed by the information display unit 33 And an increase operation receiving unit 35 that receives an operation to increase the distance in the direction of as an instruction to increase the amount of information displayed on the information display unit 33. The increase operation reception unit 35 functions as an increase operation reception unit.

  When the increase operation accepting unit 35 accepts the increase operation, the information display unit 33 displays the information displayed on the information display unit 33 by displaying the information in the order of higher display priority even if the information is once hidden. Increase the amount. For example, even if the information of the reception information ID “C” and the information of the reception information ID “B” are not displayed and the amount of information displayed on the information display unit 33 is once reduced, the increase operation reception unit 35 When receiving the reduction operation, the information display unit 33 refers to the display priority database 41 and displays the information of the reception information ID “B” having the highest display priority among the non-displayed reception information IDs. The amount of information displayed on the information display unit 33 is increased. When the increase operation accepting unit 35 further accepts the reduction operation, the information display unit 33 refers to the display priority database 41 and displays the information of the reception information ID “C” having the next highest display priority, The amount of information displayed on the information display unit 33 is increased.

In the example of FIG. 4, since the reception information ID with the next lowest priority is B, the information of the reception information ID “B” with the next lowest display priority is not displayed on the screen 50 in FIG. Thus, only the information of the reception information ID “A” is displayed. In the example of FIG. 6A, the user subsequently touches two points on the touch panel of the screen 50, and is a distance between the two touched points, which is an array of information displayed on the screen 50. An operation to increase the distance in the direction is performed.

  FIG. 6B is a diagram illustrating an example of the information display unit 33 when the increasing operation receiving unit 35 receives the increasing operation in the example of FIG. In the example of FIG. 4, the reception information ID with the highest display priority among the reception information IDs that are not displayed is “B”, so that the information that has already been displayed on the screen 50 in FIG. In addition, the information of the reception information ID “B” is also displayed.

  According to the present embodiment, the display priority specifying operation receiving unit 31 receives an operation for specifying the display priority of information to be displayed on the information display unit 33, and the reduction operation receiving unit 34 allows the user to make two points on the touch panel. The amount of information displayed on the information display unit 33 is an operation for accepting a contact operation and further reducing the distance between the two touched points in the direction of the information arrangement displayed on the information display unit 33. Accept as a reduction instruction. Then, the information display unit 33 reduces the amount of information displayed on the information display unit 33 by sequentially hiding the information from the lowest display priority in response to the operation received by the reduction operation receiving unit 34. To do. Thus, information is not managed by the server 2 as in TWITTER (registered trademark), and the server 2 distributes all information to the terminal 3, so that the information receiving unit 12 can display information with a low display priority for the user. Even in the case where a large number of messages are received in a short time, the user can appropriately hide the information in the order of lower display priority and can display only the information with the higher display priority on the information display unit 33. Thus, it is possible to provide the terminal 3 capable of reliably transmitting information having a high display priority order to the user while maintaining high quality.

  Further, the increase operation receiving unit 35 receives an operation in which the user touches two points on the touch panel of the information display unit, and further indicates a distance between the two touched points, which is the information displayed by the information display unit 33. An operation to increase the distance in the direction of the array is accepted as an instruction to increase the amount of information displayed on the information display unit 33. Then, the information display unit 33 displays the information in the order of higher display priority even if the information display unit 33 hides the information in response to the increase operation reception unit 35 receiving the operation. The amount of information displayed on the information display unit 33 is increased. For the user, if you want to browse all the information of the reception information ID with a high priority and want to browse the information of the reception information ID with a low priority in detail, touch the two points on the touch panel and touch the two points Just by performing an operation to increase the distance in the direction of the arrangement of information displayed by the information display unit 33, the increase operation reception unit 35 receives the operation, and the information display unit 33 has a high priority. The information of the reception information ID is displayed in the order of the reception information ID. Therefore, depending on the time when information can be browsed, two points on the touch panel whether to browse only the information of the reception information ID with high priority or to view the information of the reception information ID with low priority in detail It is possible to provide the terminal 3 that can be freely selected only by extending and contracting the distance between the two touched points.

  In the present embodiment, an example applied to TWITTER (registered trademark) has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and can be applied to, for example, digital signage. When applied to digital signage, unlike TWITTER (registered trademark), the server 2 may manage information distributed to the terminal 3 together with a category for identifying the attribute of this information. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, information indicating the outline of a product is set as a category “a”, information indicating the details of a product is set as a category “b”, and information indicating a user's impression is set as a category “c”. And even if the user of the terminal 3 has the same received information ID (in the case of digital signage, this is the ID of the advertisement distribution source, etc.), the category “a”, “b”, and “c” are displayed in this order. Specify priority. Thereby, a person who wants to know the outline of the product browses only the information of the category “a” having a high priority by repeating the reduction operation, and a person who wants to know the details of the product repeats the increase operation, It is possible to provide digital signage that can be browsed including information of categories “b” and “c” having low priority. Although not shown, display priority may be defined for each of the reception information ID and the category so that a reduction operation and an increase operation can be performed for each of the reception information ID and the category. Thus, for example, the reception information IDs “A” and “B” are displayed, and for the reception information ID “A”, both the categories “a” and “b” are displayed, and the reception information ID “B” is displayed. ", Only the category" a "can be displayed.
