The score assigning unit 354 of the present embodiment may use, for example, the sum of the score values of keywords assigned the same attribute among the keywords acquired by the keyword acquiring unit 352 as the attribute score value of the terminal device 300.

  The search management unit 360 of the present embodiment counts the keyword input count and the result display count for each search engine for the keywords searched by the server 200. In addition, the search management unit 360 calculates a usage ratio value for each keyword.

  Next, the operation of the server 200 of this embodiment will be described. First, a process for generating screen data of the home screen by the server 200 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart for explaining the screen data generation process of the home screen by the server. The process illustrated in FIG. 14 mainly illustrates the process of the attention list generation unit 250.

  The server 200 of the present embodiment determines whether or not the input reception unit 240 has received a home screen display request from the terminal device 300 (step S1401). If the display request is not received in step S1401, the server 200 stands by until the display request is received.

  In step S1401, upon receiving a display request, the server 200 causes the keyword acquisition unit 251 to extract a predetermined number of keywords and corresponding attributes and score values from the keyword database 231 in descending order of increase (step S1402). Subsequently, the keyword acquisition unit 251 extracts a predetermined number of keywords, corresponding attributes and score values from the tweet database 232 in descending order of increase (step S1403).

  Subsequently, the keyword acquisition unit 251 refers to the terminal attribute database 233, and acquires a plurality of attributes corresponding to the terminal ID of the terminal device 300 and respective score values (step S1404). In the present embodiment, when receiving a display request from the terminal device 300, the server 200 may receive the terminal ID together with the display request.

  Next, the keyword acquisition unit 251 selects a keyword whose attribute matches the attribute of the terminal device 300 from each keyword extracted in steps S1402 and S1403. Then, the keyword acquisition unit 251 multiplies the score value of the keyword and the score value of the terminal device 300 for each selected keyword (step S1405).

  Next, the keyword acquisition unit 251 extracts a plurality of keywords in descending order of the multiplication result value (step S1406). In the present embodiment, the plurality of keywords extracted in step S1406 are attention keywords. Details of steps S1405 and S1406 will be described later.

  Subsequently, the server 200 uses the search order determination unit 252 to acquire one attention keyword from the attention keywords extracted in step S1406 (step S1407).

  Subsequently, the search order determination unit 252 refers to the search management database 234, and acquires a use ratio value corresponding to the keyword of interest in each search engine (step S1408). Subsequently, the search order determination unit 252 assigns ranks in order from search engines with a high usage rate, and holds them as search order information (step S1409). Details of steps S1408 and S1409 will be described later.

  Next, the server 200 determines whether the search engine with the highest search order is the news information search engine 223 by the attention information generation unit 253 (step S1410).

  If the search order of the search engine 223 is first in step S1410, the attention information generation unit 253 acquires news information that is a search result of the keyword of interest from the search engine 223 (step S1411). The news information may include news articles and images related to the news.

  Subsequently, the attention information generation unit 253 associates the attention keyword acquired in step S1407 with the news information acquired in step S1411 as one attention information (step S1412), and proceeds to step S1415 described later.

  If the search order of the search engine 223 is not first in step S1410, the attention information generation unit 253 searches for a keyword of interest in the search engine 222 that performs image search, and acquires an image of the search result (step S1413).

  Subsequently, the attention information generation unit 253 associates the attention keyword acquired in step S1407 with the image acquired in step S1412 and sets it as one attention information (step S1414).

  Next, the attention information generation unit 253 determines whether or not the processing from step S1408 to step S1414 has been executed for all the attention keywords extracted in step S1406 (step S1415). That is, the attention information generation unit 253 determines whether attention information corresponding to all attention keywords has been generated.

  If it is determined in step S1415 that processing has not been performed for all the keywords of interest, the server 200 returns to step S1407.

  In step S1415, if processing has been executed for all the keywords of interest, the server 200 generates screen data of the home screen for displaying a list of attention information by the screen data generation unit 270 (step S1416). Subsequently, the server 200 distributes the screen data of the home screen to the terminal device 300 by the screen data distribution unit 280 (step S1417), and ends the generation processing of the screen data of the home screen.

  Next, the processing in steps S1405 and S1406 in FIG. 14 will be specifically described with reference to FIGS.

  Here, a case will be described in which the terminal ID of the terminal device 300 is “1”, and the processes in steps S1405 and S1406 are performed on the three keywords extracted from the keyword database 231 in step S1402.

  The keyword acquisition unit 251 extracts “curry and rice”, “tennis”, and “dengue fever” from the keyword database 231 in descending order of increase (see FIG. 8). The attribute of “curry and rice” is “restaurant”, and the score value is “10”. The attribute of “tennis” is “sports” and the score value is “30”. The attribute of “dengue fever” is “disease”, and the score value is “25”.

  Further, the keyword acquisition unit 251 acquires “sport”, “restaurant”, and “movie” as attributes of the terminal device 300 from the terminal attribute database 233 (see FIG. 10). The score value of the attribute “sports” is “20”, the score value of the attribute “restaurant” is “2”, and the score value of the attribute “movie” is “10”.

  Here, the keyword acquisition unit 251 selects a keyword whose attribute matches that of the terminal device 300 from the extracted keywords. Therefore, the keyword acquisition unit 251 selects “curry and rice” whose attribute is “restaurant” and the keyword “tennis” whose attribute is “sports”.

  Next, the keyword acquisition unit 251 multiplies the keyword score value by the attribute score value of the terminal device 300 for each selected keyword. The keyword acquisition unit 251 multiplies the score value “10” of “curry and rice” by the score value “2” of the attribute “restaurant” of the terminal device 300 for the keyword “curry and rice”, and sets “ 20 ”.

  Similarly, for the keyword “tennis”, the keyword acquisition unit 251 multiplies the score value “30” of “tennis” by the score value “20” of the attribute “sports” of the terminal device 300, and sets “ 600 ".

  Note that the keyword acquisition unit 251 of the present embodiment, for example, if the keyword extracted in step S1402 and step S1402 includes a keyword whose attribute does not match the terminal device 300, the attribute score of the terminal device 300 The value may be set to “1” and the process of step S1405 may be performed.

  In the above example, the attribute of the keyword “dengue fever” is “disease” and does not match the attribute of the terminal device 300. Therefore, the keyword acquisition unit 251 sets the score value of the attribute of the terminal device 300 as “1” and performs multiplication of the score value. In this case, since the score value of “dengue fever” is “25”, the keyword acquisition unit 251 obtains “25” as the value of the multiplication result.

  Next, the keyword acquisition unit 251 extracts keywords in descending order of the multiplication result value. In the above example, the keyword having the largest multiplication result value is “tennis”, the keyword having the next largest value is “dengue fever”, and then “curry rice”. The keyword acquisition unit 251 sets these three keywords as the keyword of interest.

  The keyword acquisition unit 251 of the present embodiment also performs the same process on the keywords extracted from the tweet database 232.

  Next, the processing of step S1408 and step S1409 of FIG. 14 will be specifically described with reference to FIG.

  Here, it is assumed that “tennis”, “dengue fever”, and “curry rice” are extracted as attention keywords.

  The search order determination unit 252 acquires, for example, “tennis” from the above three attention keywords. Then, the search order determination unit 252 refers to the search management database 234 and acquires the value of the usage rate of the attention keyword “tennis” in each search engine.

  The usage ratio value of the keyword “tennis” in the search engine 221 is 33%. The usage ratio value of the keyword “tennis” in the search engine 222 is 17%. The usage ratio value of the keyword “tennis” in the search engine 223 is 50% (see FIG. 11).

  Therefore, the search order determination unit 252 determines a search order in which the search engine 223 is ranked first, the search engine 222 is ranked second, and the search engine 221 is ranked third. This search order is stored in the storage area as search order information corresponding to the attention keyword “tennis”.

  Similarly, the search order determination unit 252 determines the search order for the attention keywords “dengue fever” and “curry and rice”.

  As a result, in the search order information corresponding to the attention keyword “dengue fever”, the search engine 223 is ranked first, the search engine 221 is ranked second, and the search engine 222 is ranked third. In the search order information corresponding to the attention keyword “curry and rice”, the search engine 221 is ranked first, the search engine 222 is ranked second, and the search engine 223 is ranked third.

  As described above, the server 200 according to the present embodiment refers to the attribute information given based on the operation history of the terminal device 300, extracts a plurality of attention keywords corresponding to each terminal device 300, and displays a list of attention information. Generate. Therefore, when displaying the home screen on the terminal device 300, the server 200 according to the present embodiment can display a list of attention information corresponding to the operation history of each terminal device 300, and the user preference of the terminal device 300 can be displayed. It is possible to display a home screen tailored to.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an example of a home screen corresponding to the operation history of each terminal device. FIG. 15A is a diagram illustrating an example of a home screen displayed on the terminal device 300-1 having the terminal ID “1”. FIG. 15B is a diagram illustrating an example of a home screen displayed on the terminal device 300-2 with the terminal ID “2”.

  In the home screen 31-1 shown in FIG. 15A, the keywords of interest are “tennis”, “dengue fever”, “curry rice”, and “lupine”. The attention keyword “Lupin” on the home screen 31-1 is noticed, for example, from the attribute “movie” of the terminal ID “1”.

  On the home screen 31-2 shown in FIG. 15B, the keywords of interest are “tennis”, “dengue fever”, “cat”, and “curry rice”. The attention keyword “cat” on the home screen 31-2 is drawn from the attribute “animal” of the terminal ID “2”, for example.

  Thus, according to this embodiment, the operation history of the terminal device 300 that has requested display of the home screen, that is, the user's preference of the terminal device 300 is reflected in the list of attention information displayed on the home screen. be able to.

  In addition, each of the attention keywords “tennis” and “dengue fever” has the largest usage ratio value of the search engine 223 for searching for news information. Therefore, on the home screens 31-1 and 13-2, the upper search information corresponding to each of the attention keywords “tennis” and “dengue fever” is a part of news information including images and text.

  Further, for the attention keywords “curry and rice”, “Lupin”, and “cat”, the search engine having the largest usage ratio value is not the search engine 223 that searches for news information. Therefore, in the home screens 31-1 and 13-2, the search high-order information corresponding to each of the attention keywords “curry rice”, “Lupin”, and “cat” is searched for each keyword by the search engine 222 that performs image search. The resulting image. In this case, the image acquired as the search upper information is an image displayed at the head as a search result of the search engine 222.

  As described above, by determining the execution order of the search engines based on the usage ratio and displaying the search results acquired from each search engine in this execution order, it is possible to present a search engine with a high usage frequency to the user. .

  Next, various screen data generation processing by the server 200 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart for explaining the screen data generation processing of various screens by the server. The process shown in FIG. 16 mainly shows the process of the screen transition control unit 260.

  The server 200 according to the present embodiment determines whether an operation has been received on the home screen displayed on the terminal device 300 by the input receiving unit 240 (step S1601). That is, the input receiving unit 240 determines whether or not a request for generating screen data of a screen to be displayed next has been received from the terminal device 300.

  In step S1601, when the operation is not accepted, the server 200 stands by until the operation is accepted.

  When an operation is received in step S1601, the server 200 determines whether the position where the operation is received (hereinafter, the tapped position) is within the display area of the attention information by the area determination unit 261 (step S1602). . In step S1602, if the tapped position is not within the attention information display area, the server 200 proceeds to process A described later.

  If the tapped position is within the attention information display area in step S1602, the area determination unit 261 determines whether or not the operation is registration of the attention information in the bookmark (step S1603). Specifically, the region determination unit 261 determines whether or not the content of the operation is a long tap. If the bookmark is registered in step S1603, the server 200 registers the selected attention information in the bookmark (step S1604), and returns to step S1601.

  If the bookmark is not registered in step S1603, the region determination unit 261 determines whether information other than an image is included in the search upper information of the tapped attention information (step S1605).

  If no information other than the image is included in step S1605, the server 200 advances to step S1608 described later.

  If information other than an image is included in step S1605, the region determination unit 261 determines whether or not the tapped position is within the display region of the keyword of interest (step S1606).

  In step S1606, if it is not within the display area of the keyword of interest, that is, if the tapped position is within the display area of the upper search information, the page data acquisition unit 263 activates the search engine 223 that performs news search using the keyword of interest. Search for. Then, the page data acquisition unit 263 generates screen data for displaying a web page including the news information of the search result (step S1607), and proceeds to step S1614 described later.

  In step S1606, if it is within the keyword display area, the search result acquisition unit 262 acquires search order information corresponding to the keyword of interest (step S1608).

  Subsequently, the search result acquisition unit 262 executes a plurality of search engines included in the search processing unit 220A according to the search order (step S1609). That is, the search result acquisition unit 262 executes a search process with the keyword of interest by each search engine according to the search order.

  Subsequently, the search result acquisition unit 262 acquires the search results acquired from each search engine (step S1610).

  Next, the search result acquisition unit 262 determines whether or not a specific web page corresponding to the keyword of interest exists (step S1611).
