In the following embodiments, the same portions are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

(Embodiment)
[1. Generation process)
First, an example of the generation process according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a generation process according to the embodiment. The generation process illustrated in FIG. 1 is executed by the generation apparatus 100 (see FIG. 3). In the example shown in FIG. 1, character information used for generating the contents CT11 to CT14 is abstractly shown as character information CS11 to CS13. For example, “◯”, “×”, and “Δ” included in the character information CS11 correspond to one character. The distinction between “○”, “×”, and “△” is a difference for distinguishing whether or not it corresponds to an important word to be described later. For example, “○” does not need to be the same character. . The same applies to the other character information CS12 and CS13.

  Also, image information (hereinafter, simply referred to as “image” in some cases) used to generate the contents CT11 to CT14 is abstractly shown as images IM11 to IM13. For example, like the image IM11 illustrated in FIG. 1, each image is illustrated as a rectangle having a predetermined size. Note that the content referred to here is, for example, content generated from an article including an image and character information (see FIG. 6). A specific example of content generation based on character information and images will be described later.

  First, a case will be described in which content in which important words included in character information are arranged is generated based on the arrangement of character information and images. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 1A, the generation apparatus 100 includes character information CS11 including a character string “xxx” as the important word IS11 and a character string “ΔΔΔΔ” as the important word IS12. The content CT11 is generated using the image IM11 (step S11).

  As shown in FIG. 1A, the content CT11 is a content in which a display area AR11 for displaying character information CS11 is arranged on the right side of the position where the image IM11 is arranged. That is, in the content CT11, the image IM11 is arranged on the left side of the position where the character information CS11 is displayed.

  Therefore, the generating apparatus 100 breaks the character information CS11 so that the important words IS11 and IS12 included in the character information CS11 are arranged on the left side in the display area AR11. Specifically, the generation device 100 makes a line break in the character information CS11 before the character string “ΔΔΔΔ” that is the important word IS12. That is, the generating apparatus 100 arranges the character string “ΔΔΔΔ” so that the leading “Δ” of the character string “ΔΔΔΔ” as the important word IS12 is as close as possible to the image IM11.

  Thereby, when the content CT11 is displayed on the terminal device 10 (see FIG. 5), the character string “XXX” that is the important word IS11 and the character string “ΔΔ” that is the important word IS12 included in the character information CS11. “ΔΔ” is displayed close to the image IM11. Therefore, since the important words IS11 and IS12 can be easily recognized together with the image IM11, the user can easily recognize the character information CS11. As described above, the generation device 100 can improve the satisfaction of the user by disposing the important word IS12 at a position closer to the image IM11.

  On the other hand, conventionally, as shown in the content CT10 in FIG. 1A, the character information CS11 arranged in the display area AR10 is independent of the arrangement relationship with the image IM11 and the arrangement of the important words IS11 and IS12. A new line is inserted at a predetermined position. Specifically, the character information CS11 is broken into lines so that the number of characters in each line is equal. In this case, in the content CT10, only the first character of the important word IS12 is arranged on the first line, and the remaining characters are arranged on the second line. That is, in the content CT10, the important word IS12 is arranged separately.

  Thus, when the important word IS12 is arranged separately, it becomes difficult for the user to recognize the character string “ΔΔΔΔ” itself which is the important word IS12, and the user recognizes the entire character information CS11. It becomes difficult. Compared to this, in the content CT11, the character string “ΔΔΔΔ”, which is the important word IS12, is integrally arranged close to the image IM11, and thus the generation apparatus 100 improves the satisfaction of the user. be able to.

  When the character information provider permits, the generation apparatus 100 may switch the position of the character string as long as it is within a range that satisfies the syntactic constraints. For example, the generating apparatus 100 may replace the character string so that the character string “xxx” that is the important word IS11 is arranged at the top of the first line. Thereby, since important word IS11 is arrange | positioned in the position closer to image IM11, a user's satisfaction can be improved. Further, the generation apparatus 100 may automatically extract important words using various machine learning techniques as appropriate.

  Next, a description will be given of a case where when character information is displayed over a plurality of lines, content in which the position of the end in each line satisfies a predetermined condition is generated. For example, in the example illustrated in FIG. 1B, the generation device 100 generates content CT12 using character information CS12 including 22 characters and the image IM12 (step S12). In the content CT12, the image IM12 is arranged on the left side of the display area AR12 displaying the character information CS12. In the following description, it is assumed that the important information is not included in the character information CS12, and the character information CS12 is arranged in two lines.

  When the generating apparatus 100 divides the character information CS12 into two lines, the generating apparatus 100 breaks the character information CS12 so that the positions of the ends in each line are aligned in a predetermined direction. Specifically, the generating apparatus 100 breaks the character information CS12 so that the end of each line when the character information CS12 is broken is aligned at the end position TM12. In the case shown in FIG. 1B, a line feed is made between the character information CS12 between the eleventh character “◯” and the twelfth character “◯”.

  As a result, when the content CT12 is displayed on the terminal device 10 (see FIG. 5), the ends of the plurality of lines of the character information CS12 are displayed together at the end position TM12, thereby improving the design of the content CT12. Can do. That is, the user can easily view the content CT12. As described above, the generation apparatus 100 can improve the satisfaction of the user by aligning the ends of the plurality of lines of the character information CS12 at the end position TM12.

  Next, a description will be given of a case where content is generated based on the shape of the display area of the terminal device 10 on which the content is displayed, which varies depending on the screen size of the terminal device 10. The terminal device 10 to which the content CT13 is distributed will be described below assuming that the screen size is larger than that of the terminal device to which the content CT14 is distributed.

  For example, in the example shown in FIG. 1C, the generation device 100 generates content CT13 to be distributed to the terminal device 10 that displays the character information CS13 in the display area AR13, using the character information CS13 and the image IM13 ( Step S13). Moreover, the production | generation apparatus 100 produces | generates content CT14 distributed to the terminal device which displays character information CS13 on display area AR14 using character information CS13 and image IM13 (step S14). In the content CT13 and the content CT14, the image IM13 is arranged on the left side of the position where the character information CS13 is displayed. Hereinafter, a case where the character information CS13 is arranged in two lines will be described.

  Here, the display area AR13 and the display area AR14 in FIG. 1C will be described. The horizontal width of the display area AR13 is the horizontal width WD13, which is larger than the horizontal width WD14 which is the horizontal width of the display area AR14. Specifically, the horizontal width WD13 of the display area AR13 is larger by the difference DF13 than the horizontal width WD14 of the display area AR14. That is, the display area AR13 has a margin for displaying the character information CS13 in the width direction by the difference DF13 than the display area AR14. Therefore, the generation apparatus 100 arranges the position HD13 of the first character of the character information CS13 arranged in the display area AR13 by a margin MG13 away from the left end of the display area AR13. On the other hand, the generating apparatus 100 arranges the position HD14 of the first character of the character information CS13 arranged in the display area AR14 by a margin MG14 away from the left end of the display area AR14.

  The margin MG14 in the display area AR14 is smaller than the margin MG13 in the display area AR13. That is, the margin of the head position of the character information CS13 arranged in the display area AR14 is smaller than that of the character information CS13 arranged in the display area AR13.

  Thereby, even if the character information CS13 is displayed on any terminal device, the display mode of the character information CS13 can be prevented from changing depending on the terminal device by changing the size of the margin or the like according to the screen size. . In other words, the user can view the character information CS13 in an appropriate display mode regardless of the terminal device used to view the content. Thereby, the production | generation apparatus 100 can improve a user's satisfaction. Note that the size of the display area AR13 is not limited to the screen size, and may vary according to a user operation to change the size of the display area AR13 displayed on the terminal device 10. In addition, the size of the display area AR13 is not limited to the screen size, and may vary depending on the display size of the browser and application terminal device 10 including the display area AR13.

  Note that the generation apparatus 100 may generate content by combining the generation processes shown in (A) to (C) of FIG. For example, the generating apparatus 100 arranges the important word IS12 at a position closer to the image IM11, and the character information CS11 so that the margin at the head position of the character information CS11 becomes smaller according to the screen size of the terminal device to be distributed. May be arranged. Further, the generation device 100 performs generation processing based on the arrangement of the important words shown in (A) of FIG. 1 when the important information is included in the character information. You may perform the production | generation process based on the terminal position of each line shown to (B) in the inside. Further, the generation apparatus 100 may generate content by appropriately changing the character size of each character in the generation processing shown in (A) to (C) of FIG. The generation apparatus 100 may generate content in which the character size of each character in the character information is different.

[5. Specific example of generation processing)
Next, the generation process performed by the generation apparatus 100 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a specific example of the generation process according to the embodiment.

  FIG. 6 shows a specific example in the case of generating content in which important words included in character information are arranged based on the arrangement of character information and images. For example, in the example illustrated in FIG. 6, the generation apparatus 100 uses the character information CS21 including the character string “new model” that is the key word IS21 and the character string “smart phone” that is the key word IS22 and the content CT21 using the image IM21. Is generated (step S21).

  As shown in FIG. 6, the content CT21 is content in which a display area AR21 for displaying character information CS21 is arranged on the right side of the position where the image IM21 is arranged. That is, in the content CT21, the image IM21 is arranged on the left side of the position where the character information CS21 is displayed. The example shown in FIG. 6 shows the positional relationship between the image IM21 and the display area AR21 in the content CT21, and the size of the display area AR21 shown in FIG. 6 may be different. For example, the display area AR21 may have a smaller vertical width than the image IM21 (see FIG. 7).

  Therefore, the generating apparatus 100 breaks the character information CS21 so that the important words IS21 and IS22 included in the character information CS21 are arranged on the left side in the display area AR21. Specifically, the generation device 100 makes a line break in the character information CS21 in front of the character string “smartphone” that is the important word IS22. That is, the generation device 100 arranges the character string “smart phone” so that the leading “su” of the character string “smart phone” that is the important word IS22 is as close as possible to the image IM11.

  Thereby, when the content CT21 is displayed on the terminal device 10, the character string “new model” which is the important word IS21 and the character string “smart phone” which is the important word IS22 included in the character information CS21 approach the image IM21. Displayed. Therefore, since the important words IS21 and IS22 can be easily recognized together with the image IM21, the user can easily recognize the character information CS21. In this manner, by arranging the character string “smartphone”, which is the important word IS22, at a position closer to the image IM21, the generation apparatus 100 can improve user satisfaction.

  On the other hand, conventionally, as shown in the content CT20 in FIG. 6, the character information CS21 arranged in the display area AR20 is at a predetermined position regardless of the arrangement relationship with the image IM21 and the arrangement of the important words IS21 and IS22. Line breaks. Specifically, the character information CS21 is broken into lines so that the number of characters in each line is equal. In this case, in the content CT20, only the first character “su” of the important word IS22 is arranged on the first line, and the remaining character string “martphone” is arranged on the second line. That is, in the content CT20, the character string “smart phone” that is the important word IS22 is arranged separately.

  Thus, when the important word IS22 is arranged separately, it becomes difficult for the user to recognize the character string “smartphone” itself that is the important word IS22, and the user becomes difficult to recognize the entire character information CS21.
