  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the flow of text registration processing performed by the information processing system according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  The processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. 4 is realized by reading and executing a control program in which the CUP 201 of the text registration terminal 103 and the server device 104 is stored.

  In step S <b> 401, the CPU 201 of the text registration terminal 103 receives a specification of a text file including text data to be registered in the server device from a text registrant (user) and transmits it to the server device 104.

  In S <b> 402, the CPU 201 of the server device 104 receives the text file transmitted from the text registration terminal 103 and stores it in the external memory 211. In S403, a character string or the like is extracted from the sentence file and stored in the sentence table 450 as shown in FIG.

  Specifically, in the text table 450 of FIG. 5, the text ID 501, text name 502, file path 503, text data (character string) 504, page count 505, noun count 506, reference noun count 507, difficulty 508, registration The date 509, the registrant 510, the update date 511, the update date 511, the updater 512, and the like can be stored. In S403, information such as a sentence ID 501, a sentence name 502, a file path 503, sentence data 504, and the number of pages 505 is extracted from the sentence file received by the server device 104 and stored in the sentence table.

  Next, in S404, the CPU 201 of the server device 104 extracts nouns used in the sentence data from the character string of the sentence data. As an extraction source, it may be extracted from a text file stored in the external memory 211 or may be extracted from text data (character string) 504 in a text table. As a method for extracting a noun from a character string, a natural language such as morphological analysis can be extracted using an analysis mechanism.

  In step S405, the CPU 201 of the server apparatus 104 determines whether the noun extracted in step S404 has been used more than a predetermined number of times in the sentence data. If it is determined in S405 that it has appeared a predetermined number of times or more, it is stored as a reference noun in a sentence analysis table 451 as shown in FIG. On the other hand, if the text data appears less than the predetermined number of times, it is not used as a reference noun and is not registered in the text analysis table 451. Such a predetermined number of times can be appropriately determined such as five times. The number of times may be changed according to the length of the sentence string. By specifying the noun for determining the read as described above, it is possible to perform the read determination based on only the noun that appears many times, and thus the reliability of the read determination can be improved. .

  The sentence analysis table as shown in FIG. 6 stores nouns determined to be reference nouns in S405, and for each sentence ID 601, reference noun sequence (serial number) 602, reference noun 603, frequency of occurrence (number of appearances). ) 604 information can be stored.

  Such processes in S405 and S406 are performed for the number of nouns extracted in S404. That is, it is determined whether each noun extracted in S404 corresponds to a reference noun, and when it is determined that it is a reference noun, it is sequentially registered in the sentence analysis table 451.

  In S407, the difficulty level of the sentence is determined according to the number of reference nouns included in the sentence data stored in the sentence analysis table 451 in consideration of the sentence difficulty level master 452 as shown in FIG.

  The sentence difficulty master 452 shown in FIG. 7 stores a difficulty 702, a start position 703 and an end position 704 that specify a range of the number of nouns, a validity criterion 704 used for a read determination, and a registration date 705. doing. Such a text difficulty 452 is stored in advance in the external memory 211 or the like.

  Specifically, in S407, when the total number of reference nouns determined in the selection in S205 and S206 is, for example, 260, the difficulty level 702 of the sentence difficulty level master is A, so the difficulty level of the sentence is set to A. And decide. And the information corresponding to the column of the noun total 506, the reference | standard noun number 507, and the difficulty 508 of the text table 450 is memorize | stored.

  After the storage process in S407 is completed, the server device 104 instructs the text registration terminal 103 to issue a text registration completion notification. In S408, the CPU 201 of the text registration terminal 103 sends the text to the server device 104. A notice of completion of text registration indicating that registration has been completed is displayed on the display, for example, to notify the registrant.

  By performing the above processing, the text registration operation is completed.

  Next, the already-read determination process when the viewer browses the text data registered by the registration operation of FIG. 4 will be described using the flowcharts of FIGS. 8 and 9.

  The processing in FIGS. 8 and 9 is realized by reading and executing the control program in which the CUP 201 of the text browsing terminal 101 and the server device 104 is stored. Here, a case where a smart device is used as the text browsing terminal will be described as an example. However, a PC or the like may be used as the text browsing terminal, and in that case, the read process can be determined by performing the same processing. .

  First, the processing when the viewer browses the text data using the text browsing terminal 101 will be described using the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S <b> 801, the CPU 201 of the text browsing terminal 101 receives a specification of a text file to be browsed from a text viewer (user), and sends a text file browsing start notification and the browsing request to the server device 104. 101 terminal ID is transmitted.

  In step S <b> 802, the CPU 201 of the server apparatus 104 issues a display area acquisition request to the text browsing terminal 101.

  In step S <b> 803, the CPU 201 of the text browsing terminal 101 receives the acquisition request in step S <b> 802 and transmits the size (for example, the number of vertical and horizontal pixels) of the screen display area of the text browsing terminal to the server device 104.

  In S805, the CPU 201 of the server device 104 determines the display reference time (required display time) with reference to the display area master 453 as shown in FIG. 10 based on the size of the screen display area of the browsing terminal.

  The display area master 453 shown in FIG. 10 stores a name 1002 for each terminal ID 1001, vertical and horizontal range start positions 1003 and 1005, range end positions 1004 and 1006, a display reference time 1007, and a registration date and time 1008. Yes.

  Specifically, in S805, in the case of a viewing terminal such as G001, 2400 milliseconds is determined as the display reference time in consideration of the display area master 453.

  In step S <b> 806, the CPU 201 of the server device 104 identifies the text data requested to start browsing from the text browsing terminal 101 from the text table 450 stored in the external memory 211 of the server device 104, and the text data. Is transmitted to the text browsing terminal 101.

  In step S <b> 807, the CPU 201 of the text browsing terminal 101 receives text data transmitted from the server device 104. As a result, the text data in the text file is displayed on the display of the text browsing terminal 101 (S808). At this time, if the text data is a long text, the entire text of the character string cannot be displayed on one screen at a time, so a partial area of the text string of the text data is displayed in the display area.

In step S809, the CPU 201 of the text browsing terminal 101 determines whether a screen event has occurred. Specifically, the screen event includes a timing at which the text data is first displayed, a timing at which the text data is scrolled and stopped by a touch operation, a page transition timing, a timing at which the text data is closed, and the like.
If it is determined in S809 that a screen event has occurred, a screen shot of the terminal display screen is transmitted (S810). That is, a screen shot of a partial region of the sentence string displayed on the display of the sentence browsing terminal 101 is transmitted to the server device 104 at the timing when the screen event occurs.

  In step S811, the CPU 201 of the server apparatus 104 receives the screen shot transmitted from the text browsing terminal 101. In step S812, the obtained screen shot image is subjected to character recognition processing (so-called OCR processing: optical character recognition) using an optical character recognition unit, and the character string being displayed on the text browsing terminal 101 is displayed. Acquire.

  Next, in S813, the CPU 201 of the server apparatus 104 stores the character string obtained in S812 as displayed data in a browsing display work as shown in FIG.

  In the browsing display work shown in FIG. 11A, for each sentence ID 1101 and viewer ID 1102, the sequence order 1103, the display start date and time 1104 that is the timing at which the event occurred, and display data obtained by performing OCR processing ( Character string) is stored sequentially. That is, every time a screen event occurs, display data (character string) is stored.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 11B, a browser master that stores a viewer ID 1151, a name 1152, and a registration date 1153 can also be stored in the external memory 211.

  In S814, it is determined whether the currently displayed area is the end of the sentence data 504 from the sentence data 504 stored in the sentence table 450 and the character string obtained in S812. Specifically, by determining whether a predetermined number of characters at the end of the sentence of the sentence data 504 are included in the character string obtained in S812, it is possible to determine whether the sentence data is at the end.

  If it is determined that the sentence ends, the process proceeds to S900 in FIG. On the other hand, if it is determined that it is not the end of the sentence, the process returns to S808 and the screen shot acquisition operation is continued.

  Next, processing when performing the read determination will be described using the flowchart of FIG.

  In S900, the noun is extracted from the character string stored in the browsing display work 454. That is, the CPU 201 of the server device 104 functions as a character string acquisition unit.

  Then, the following processes of S901 to S904 are performed for each noun extracted from the character string in this way.

  In S901, the CPU 201 of the server apparatus 104 determines whether the noun is a reference noun for each extracted noun. Specifically, if it is a noun registered in the sentence analysis table 451, it is determined to be a reference noun. If it is determined that it is a reference noun, the process proceeds to S902, and the average time during which the reference noun is displayed is calculated based on the display start date and time 1104 information stored in the browsing display work 454 and the like. In other words, since this process is performed for each noun, if one reference noun is used in multiple places, the average of the display times of the reference nouns used in all places is “noun display time”. It becomes. That is, the CPU 201 of the server device 104 functions as a character display time acquisition unit.

  In step S <b> 903, the CPU 201 of the server apparatus 104 performs the read character determination based on the noun based on the display reference time 1007 stored in the display area master 453 and the display time of the noun. Specifically, when the display time of the noun is equal to or longer than the display reference time (more than the necessary display time), it is determined that the read character is (TRUE), and the display time of the noun is less than the display reference time (required display time) Less than), it is determined that it is not a read character (FALSE). That is, the CPU 201 of the server device 104 functions as a character determination unit.

  In S904, such a determination result is stored in the browsing storage work 455 as shown in FIG. That is, when the extracted noun is a reference noun, it is sequentially stored in the browsing storage work 455 whenever it is determined.

  The browsing record work shown in FIG. 12 includes a sequence 1203, a reference noun sequence 1204, a display area 1205, a display start 1206, a display end 1207, and a browsing validity that is a determination result for each case where the sentence ID 1201 and the viewer ID 1202 are the same combination. There is a column of the sex 1208. The browsing record work of Example 1 in FIG. 12A is a record when the browser ID 100 browses the text ID 200 using the G001 browsing terminal, and the browsing record work shown in FIG. This is a record when the ID 200 is browsed using a browsing terminal whose viewer ID 101 is G002. As shown here, the result determined in S904 is stored for each reference noun.

  Here, the flow when it is determined that the characters in the text data are already read characters will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 14A to FIG. 14D are diagrams illustrating the flow of screen transition.

  1402 in FIG. 14A is a browsing area displayed on the text browsing terminal 1402, and indicates that a partial area of the text data 1401 is displayed in the browsing area 1402.

  FIG. 14B shows a state where the user has scrolled to change the viewing area. Then, the period during which the screen in FIG. 14A is displayed is acquired from the timing at which FIG. 14B is performed and the timing at which the display in FIG. 14A is started (area display time acquisition). Here, an example is shown in which 2500 milliseconds is displayed as the time during which the area is displayed. Similarly, by repeating the scroll operation, the state transitions to FIG. 14 (c) and FIG. 14 (d). As shown in FIG. 14C, when there are two identical characters in a partial area of the screen, the respective display times are added up. That is, the character display time is acquired by accumulating the time during which a part of the text data is displayed on the screen.

  As shown in FIG. 14E, the total display time of “facility” when the display text data of FIGS. 14A to 14D is displayed is 8900 milliseconds. If the standard character “facility” appears in this sentence four times, the average display time is 2225 milliseconds.

  When the text browsing terminal is a smartphone (G002), since the display reference time 1007 is 2000 milliseconds, the character “facility” is determined to be a read character (TRUE).

  In step S <b> 905, the CPU 201 of the server device 104 aggregates the already-read determination results of the reference noun determination results stored in the browsing storage work 455. Specifically, the ratio of reference nouns determined as read nouns among all reference nouns (hereinafter also referred to as read validity) is obtained.

  In S906, the CPU 201 of the server apparatus 104 acquires the validity criterion 704 of the sentence difficulty master 452 as a reference threshold. In this embodiment, since the number of reference nouns is 260, a validity criterion of 80% is acquired.

  In S907, the CPU 201 of the server device 104 compares the validity criterion 704 acquired from the sentence difficulty master 452 with the read validity, and if the read validity is equal to or higher than the validity criterion, It is determined that the text data is already read (TRUE). On the other hand, when the read validity is less than the validity standard, the sentence data is determined to be unread (FALSE). The determined result is stored in a text browsing table 456 as shown in FIG. That is, the CPU 201 of the server device 104 functions as a sentence determination unit.

  The text browsing table 456 shown in FIG. 13 stores a text ID 1301, a viewer ID 1302, a browsing start date 1303, a browsing end date 1304, a read validity 1305, and a read determination result 1306. In other words, the read validity calculated in S905 and the result of the read determination determined in S907 are registered. That is, it is determined that the text data has been read when the display time of the characters actually displayed on the display screen is longer than the necessary time.

  In step S <b> 908, the CPU 201 of the server apparatus 104 identifies whether or not the text data is determined to be read based on the read determination result 1306 registered in the text browsing table 456. If the text data is registered as read (TRUE), the text browsing terminal 101 is notified that the text data has been read, and the process proceeds to S909. On the other hand, if the text data is registered as unread (FALSE), the text browsing terminal 101 is notified that the text data is unread, and S910 is performed.

  In S909, the CPU 201 of the text browsing terminal 101 notifies the display that the read has been performed as illustrated in FIG. 15A and displays a screen 1500 for notifying the user that the process can proceed to the next step. Let As shown in FIG. 15A, the screen 1500 is provided with a return button 1501 and a next button 1502, which can be selected by the user using the input terminal.

  On the other hand, in S910 determined to be unread, the CPU 201 of the text browsing terminal 101 notifies the display that it is unread as shown in FIG. 15B, and a screen indicating that it cannot proceed unless it is browsed again. 1510 is displayed. That is, this prompts the user to display the text data again. In the screen 1501, a return button 1501 and a forward button 1502 are provided as in FIG. 15A, but the user cannot select the forward button 1502.

  As described above, the time during which frequent characters are displayed in the text data is determined for each reference character, determined as a reference character that can be used for the determination of the read, and used for the determination of the read for all the reference characters. By performing the read determination using a good standard character ratio, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the read determination is made only by performing an operation of scrolling the sentence at high speed and displaying the end of the sentence. As a result, even when an electronic text is viewed using an information processing terminal such as a smart device that is easy to scroll and click, the read determination can be performed with high reliability.

  In this embodiment, the case where a partial area of text data is displayed on the screen has been described as an example. However, the present invention may be applied to a case where the entire area of text data is displayed on the screen.

  The present invention can be implemented as a system, apparatus, method, program, storage medium, or the like, and can be applied to a system including a plurality of devices. You may apply to the apparatus which consists of one apparatus.
