[First Embodiment]
<Overview>
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a system configuration of an information processing system 1 according to the first embodiment. The information processing system 1 includes an information processing server 10 and a plurality of terminals 20 (terminal 20A, terminal 20B, terminal 20C). The information processing server 10 and the terminal 20 are connected via the network 2. The network 2 includes a wired network and a wireless network.

  The terminal 20 is a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a PC (Personal Computer), a mobile phone, a game console, a touch pad, an electronic book reader, a wearable terminal, or the like.

  The information processing server 10 provides the user of the terminal 20 with SNS (Social Network Service, social network service). The user of the terminal 20 can receive an SNS service from the information processing server 10 by installing an SNS application on the terminal 20 and connecting to the information processing server 10.

  In the following embodiment, a display control method in an SNS service will be mainly described, but the present embodiment is applicable to a display control method for displaying content on a user terminal 20. For example, the present invention can be applied to a content display control method in various homepages on the Internet.

  The terminal 20 may be connected to the information processing server 10 using a web browser or the like to receive the SNS service.

  The information processing server 10 provides a timeline service of an SNS service, for example.

  The timeline service is a processing in which the information processing server 10 chronologically posts contents such as texts, photographs, and moving images posted on the SNS by a user or a user who has a relationship with the user on the SNS in a time-series manner. 20 is a service to be displayed. The information processing server 10 displays an advertisement (hereinafter, advertisement content) provided by an advertiser between contents (hereinafter, user content) posted to a user of the SNS.

  The information processing server 10 distributes a plurality of user contents and advertisement contents to the terminal 20. The terminal 20 displays the user content and the advertisement content on the screen of the terminal 20 in the display order instructed by the information processing server 10. Due to the restriction on the screen size, the terminal 20 cannot simultaneously display all the distributed contents on the screen.

  The terminal 20 receives an operation from a user, for example, a scroll operation to a screen, and changes the displayed content.

  For example, when M pieces of content (user content and advertisement content) are distributed from the information processing server 10 to the terminal 20, the first to Nth contents are displayed on the terminal 20 (M and N are natural numbers). , N <M). When the terminal 20 receives an instruction to display the Nth and subsequent contents from the user by a scroll operation in the first direction (for example, the downward direction of the screen), the terminal 20 sets the 2nd to N + 1th or 3 to N + 2 Display the content of the third etc. In this way, the terminal 20 displays new content by hiding (deleting) a part of the content displayed on the screen from the screen.

  SNS operators and advertisers who provide advertising content have a desire to allow users to browse content of high interest from other users and advertising content for a predetermined time or more. For example, an advertiser has a desire to increase the advertising effect by allowing a user to browse advertising content for a predetermined time or more.

  The terminal 20 according to the present embodiment includes a display area 50 (main display area 50A) for displaying content on a screen in accordance with an instruction from the information processing server 10, and a display area 50 (contents for displaying content desired to be viewed by a user of the terminal 20). Sub-display area 50B).

  The terminal 20 measures and stores the time during which each content is displayed on the screen. When the content is a moving image, the terminal 20 measures and stores the reproduction time of the moving image content. Note that these measured times may be expressed as browsing times.

  The terminal 20 determines that the content has been viewed when the viewing time of the content exceeds a predetermined time provided for each content.

  If the content browsing time exceeds a predetermined time, the terminal 20 may hide the content from the screen in response to receiving an instruction from the user to display new content by scrolling in the first direction. (It disappears from the screen).

  On the other hand, if the content browsing time does not exceed the predetermined time, the terminal 20 receives the instruction to display new content from the user by scrolling in the first direction. It is displayed in area 50B.

  The sub-display area 50B is a display area where the content and the like are fixedly displayed even when the terminal 20 receives a scroll operation or the like for changing the display of the content on the screen from the user. In the sub-display area 50B, the same content is fixedly displayed for a predetermined period. On the other hand, in the main display area 50A, when an operation of changing the display of the content on the screen is received from the user, the content to be displayed is changed. That is, the main display area 50A is a display area where contents and the like are dynamically displayed.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example (part 1) of a display screen of the terminal 20 of the user of the information processing system 1 according to the first embodiment.

  FIG. 2A illustrates a state in which the content distributed from the information processing server 10 is displayed in the main display area 50A in the order instructed by the information processing server 10. The first to fourth contents (contents 40A, 40B, 40C, and 40D) are displayed in the main display area 50A.

  FIG. 2B shows a state in which a user's scroll operation in the first direction is received on the screen of terminal 20 and third to fifth contents (contents 40C, 40D, and 40E) are displayed in main display area 50A. Is displayed. The content 40A is hidden from the screen. On the other hand, the content 40B is displayed in the sub-display area 50B because the content has not been viewed by the user for a predetermined viewing time provided for the content 40B. Since the sub display area 50B has a limited display space, the content 40B is reduced and displayed as the content 60B. For example, for the content 60B, a thumbnail of the content is displayed.

  The sub-display area 50B may be provided in advance on the screen, or the main display area 50A may be reduced in accordance with the appearance of the content displayed in the sub-display area 50B. It may be provided.

  FIG. 2C shows that the screen of the terminal 20 further receives a scroll operation from the user in the first direction, and the fourth to seventh contents (contents 40D, 40E, and 40E) are displayed in the main display area 50A. 40F, content 40G) are displayed. The content 40C is displayed in the sub-display area 50B because the content has not been viewed by the user for a predetermined viewing time provided for the content 40C. Like the content 40B, the content 40C is reduced and displayed as the content 60C.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example (part 2) of the display screen of the terminal 20 of the user of the information processing system 1 according to the first embodiment.

  The content displayed in the sub-display area 50B is enlarged and displayed when the terminal 20 receives the user's selection.

  FIG. 3A illustrates a state in which the terminal 20 has accepted the user's selection for the content 60C displayed in the sub-display area 50B in FIG. 2C.

  When the selection of the reduced content 60C is received, the content 60C is enlarged and displayed on the screen of the terminal 20 as the content 70C. Here, the description will be given on the assumption that the content 70C is a moving image content.

  When receiving an operation on content 70C, terminal 20 executes an operation corresponding to the operation. For example, when the reproduction menu 71 of the content 70C is selected, the terminal 20 starts reproducing the content. When the install link 72 of the content 70C is selected, the terminal 20 connects to a site on the Internet where the application related to the content 70C is installed, or activates an application for installing the application related to the content 70C. When the share menu 73 of the content 70C is selected, the terminal 20 instructs the information processing server 10 to notify a user who is related to the user of the terminal 20 on the SNS service that the content 70C has been viewed. . It should be noted that the related user on the SNS service is, for example, a user set as a friend.

  If the video has been played for a predetermined time or more, if the install link 72 has been selected, or if the share menu 73 has been selected, the terminal 20 determines that the content 70C has been viewed, and the terminal 20 determines that the content 70C has been viewed. The content 60C, which is a reduced version of, is hidden.

  FIG. 3B shows a state in which the content 60C is hidden from the sub-display area 50B.

  As described above, when it is determined that the content has not been browsed, the content is reduced and displayed in the sub-display area 50B. Since the space of the sub display area 50B is also limited, the terminal 20 may hide the content displayed in the sub display area 50B for a predetermined time or more. In addition, when displaying new content in the sub-display area 50B, if there is no space in the sub-display area 50B, the terminal 20 may hide the content displayed at the oldest time in the sub-display area 50B. Then, a new content may be displayed in the sub-display area 50B by reducing the size of each of the contents displayed in the sub-display area 50B.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the content is fixedly displayed in the sub-display area 50B has been described. However, the content displayed in the sub-display area 50B may be received by the terminal 20 when the user operates the main display area 50A. In response to this, it may be displayed in the main display area 50A.

  For example, a scroll operation in a second direction opposite to the first direction is accepted on the screen of the terminal 20, and the content 40B and the content 40B, which are the content displayed before and after the content 60C displayed in the sub display area, are displayed. At the timing when the content 40C is displayed on the screen again, the content 60C is hidden from the sub-display area 50B, and the content 40C is placed between the content 40B and the content 40D in the same display form as that previously displayed. It may be displayed.

  In this case, the user feels that the content 60C displayed in the sub display area 50B returns to the main display area 50A and is displayed as the content 40C.

  The display order of the contents is changed at an arbitrary timing according to an instruction from the information processing server 10. For example, each time the screen of the terminal 20 is scrolled, the display order of the user content and the advertisement content may be dynamically changed.

  In the above description, the display on the sub-display area 50B is determined by the terminal 20, but may be performed by the information processing server 10. In this case, the terminal 20 stores the browsing time of each content and reports it to the information processing server 10. The information processing server 10 determines whether the reported viewing time of the content is longer than a predetermined viewing time set for each content.

  The terminal 20 displays a dividing line between the regions so that the user can recognize the main display region 50A and the sub display region 50B, sets a different color for the background of each display region, and sets the background of each display region. For example, a different gradation may be set for the image.

  It goes without saying that the displayed content may be changed by accepting an operation other than scrolling.

  Specifically, each function of the information processing server 10 cooperates as follows. The communication unit 110 distributes the content to the terminal 20. The communication unit 110 also notifies the terminal 20 of a browsing determination method that is a condition for determining whether the content is being browsed. When it is determined that the content has not been browsed, the control unit 120 controls the terminal 20 to display the content in a display mode different from the previous display mode.

  The communication unit 110 distributes content to the terminal 20 based on an instruction from the control unit 120. When distributing the content, the display unit 50 notifies the display order of the content, a method of determining whether the content has been browsed (browsing determination method), and setting information of the display area 50.

  The communication unit 110 receives the display state of the content from the terminal 20 and notifies the information storage unit 130.

  The control unit 120 refers to the user attribute storage table 130A, the content distribution status table 130B, and the distribution target content table 130D stored in the information storage unit 130, and displays user content and advertisement content to be displayed on the user terminal 20. Determine the order. The information elements stored in the user attribute storage table 130A, the content distribution status table 130B, and the distribution target content table 130D will be described later.

  The control unit 120 instructs the terminal 20 via the communication unit 110 to display the content in the determined display order. The control unit 120 displays the user content on the terminal 20 in chronological order, and inserts and displays the advertisement content between the user content. This is because by dynamically inserting the advertisement content between the user contents, the user's attention can be drawn to the advertisement content. Also, with respect to the user content, the content displayed in chronological order is dynamically changed by posting from the user terminal 20 or another user terminal 20 or the like. Note that the user content may be called user information.

  The control unit 120 notifies the terminal 20 of a “viewing determination method”, which is an information element for determining whether each content has been viewed, via the communication unit 110.

  The control unit 120 notifies the terminal 20 of the “display method”, which is an information element for the terminal 20 to determine the display area 50 of each content, via the communication unit 110. The control unit 120 also transmits, via the communication unit 110, “main display area setting information” and “sub display area setting information” that are information regarding the formation of the main display area 50A and the sub display area 50B to the terminal 20. Notify.

  “Main display area setting information” and “sub display area setting information” are stored in the display area setting table 130C held in the information storage unit 130 for each user.

  The control unit 120 receives the display state of the content via the communication unit 110. The control unit 120 updates the content distribution status table 130B based on the received content display status.

  The information storage unit 130 stores a user attribute storage table 130A, a content distribution status table 130B, a display area setting table 130C, and a distribution target content table 130D. The information storage unit 130 causes the control unit 120 to refer to the stored information elements of each table, and receives an instruction from the control unit 120 to update the information elements of each table.

  FIG. 7A is a diagram illustrating an example of the user attribute storage table 130A.

  The user attribute storage table 130A stores, for each user, a date of birth, gender, residence area, a user (friend information) related on the SNS service, and a matter of interest. The control unit 120 determines the advertisement content to be distributed to the user based on the user attributes stored in the user attribute storage table 130A. Further, the control unit 120 determines user content to be distributed to the user based on the friend information. Note that, even when information is not input to the user attribute storage table 130A, the control unit 120 can naturally determine the content to be delivered to the user. For example, the control unit 120 may select the content to be distributed according to default settings, or may select the content at random.

  FIG. 7B is a diagram illustrating an example of the content distribution state table 130B.

  The content distribution status table 130B stores a display order, a content ID, a content type, a display status, and a browsing status for each content distributed to the terminal 20.

  The display order is an information element indicating the order in which the content is displayed on the terminal 20 from the information processing server 10. The order in which the content is displayed is determined by the control unit 120 based on the user attribute storage table 130A and the distribution target content table 130D.

  The content ID is an identifier for specifying the content delivered to the terminal 20.

  The content type is an information element indicating the type of the content. For example, user posting, video advertisement, still image advertisement, and the like. The types of user posting include text posting (user text posting), still image posting such as a photo (user still image posting), video posting (user video posting), and illustration posting such as a stamp (user illustration posting). is there.

  The display state is an information element indicating the display state of the content on the terminal 20. “Displayed” indicates that the content is displayed on the terminal 20 and is not currently displayed. “Displaying the main display area” indicates that the content is displayed in the main display area 50A. “Displaying the sub-display area” indicates that the sub-display area 50B is being displayed. The display state may be stored together with the display time. For example, in this case, the display start time is stored in the display state column of the content being displayed.

  The display count is an information element indicating the number of times the content has been displayed on the terminal 20. The browsing state is an information element indicating the browsing state of the content. The browsing state is set to “not browsed”, “browsing”, or “broken”.

  The browsing state is changed according to the browsing state of each content.

  FIG. 7C is a diagram illustrating an example of the display area setting table 130C. The display area setting table 130C is a table set for each terminal 20 of the user, and includes “main display area setting information” which is information regarding the main display area 50A, and “sub display area setting information” which is information regarding the sub display area 50B. Is stored.

  The “main display area setting information” and the “sub display area setting information” include the size of each display area 50 (upper limit size to lower limit size), the number of displayed contents (upper limit value), and the content indicating the display size of each content. The display size (upper limit to lower limit) is stored.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of the distribution target content table 130D according to the first embodiment.

  The distribution target content table 130D stores, for each content, a content ID, a content type, a browsing determination method, a display method, a distribution target, a distribution period, and a distribution count (upper limit).

  The browsing determination method is an information element used by the terminal 20 to determine whether the content has been browsed. In the browsing determination method, a specific browsing determination method is set for each content.

  For example, when “video playback for 15 seconds or more” is set as the browsing determination method, if the video content is played for 15 seconds or more on the terminal 20, the terminal 20 determines that the content has been viewed and the content browsing state. To "viewed".

  For example, if the viewing determination method is set to “play more than 50% of moving image”, and the terminal 20 plays more than 50% of the entire length of the moving image content, the terminal 20 determines that the content has been viewed. , Change the browsing state of the content to “broken”.

  For example, when “selection of installation link” is set as the browsing determination method, when the terminal 20 receives the selection of the installation link 72 of the application of the content, the terminal 20 determines that the content has been browsed and browses the content. Change the status to "viewed".

  For example, when “select a share menu” is set and the terminal 20 receives the selection of the share menu 73 of the content, the terminal 20 determines that the content has been browsed, and changes the browsing state of the content to “viewed”. Change to

  For example, if “display for 2 seconds or more” is set as the browsing determination method, and if the content is displayed on the terminal 20 for 2 seconds or more, the terminal 20 determines that the content has been viewed, and changes the browsing state of the content to “ To "viewed".

  For example, if the browsing determination method is set to “display N times” (N is a natural number), and if the content is displayed on the terminal 20 N times or more, the terminal 20 determines that the content has been browsed, and Change the browsing status to "viewed". This is because if the content is displayed on the terminal 20 more than a predetermined number of times, there is a high possibility that the user of the terminal 20 has recognized the content.

  Note that the browsing determination method may be a combination of the browsing determination methods described above.

  Further, it may be determined whether or not the content has been browsed from the situation when the content is displayed a plurality of times. For example, when the total display time of the content when the content is displayed a plurality of times in 24 hours is equal to or longer than a predetermined time, it may be determined that the content has been browsed.

  The display method is an information element for instructing a content display method. The display method is set to “main display area and sub display area” or “main display area”. The content set as “main display area and sub display area” is displayed in main display area 50A, and is displayed in sub display area 50B when not browsed in the main display area. The content set as the “main display area” is displayed only in the main display area 50A. In response to the terminal 20 receiving an operation such as scrolling to display another content from the user, the content displayed only in the main display area 50A is hidden from the main display area 50A.

  The distribution target is an information element for specifying the distribution target of the content. As the distribution target, “male in their 20s”, “Yokohama”, “post destination group”, “user D's timeline viewer”, and the like are set. A plurality of setting values may be input to the distribution target. For example, “male in their 20s” and “Yokohama” may be input.

  The control unit 120 sets “delivery target” in the distribution target content table 130D, for example, “male in their 20s”, “Yokohama”, and the like, and “birth date”, “gender”, and “ The advertisement content to be delivered to the terminal 20 is determined using information such as “living area”.

  Further, the control unit 120 sets the setting values of “delivery target” in the distribution target content table 130D, for example, “post destination group X”, “timeline viewer of user D”, and “friend” in the user attribute storage table 130A. Using the “information”, the user content to be distributed to the terminal 20 is determined.

  The distribution period is an information element for specifying the distribution period of the content. As the number of times of distribution, an upper limit value for distribution to the user terminal 20 is set. For example, in the case of advertising content, this upper limit value may be set. This is to prevent the same advertisement content from being excessively displayed on the terminal 20.

  The input / output unit 140 receives various inputs from the administrator of the information processing server 10. Also, the status of the information processing server 10 is displayed.

(2) Terminal The terminal 20 includes a communication unit 210, a display unit 220, an input unit 230, a control unit 240, and an information storage unit 250. The control unit 240 includes a determination unit 241 and a display control unit 245.

  Each function of the terminal 20 cooperates as follows. The display unit 220 displays the content on the screen. The determination unit 241 determines whether the content is being browsed. If the determination unit 241 determines that the content has not been browsed, the display control unit 245 causes the display unit 220 to display the content in a display mode different from the previous display mode.

  The communication unit 210 transmits and receives signals to and from the information processing server 10. The communication unit 210 receives, from the information processing server 10, content (user content and advertisement content) to be displayed on the display unit 220.

  The communication unit 210 receives the display order of each content on the terminal 20, the browsing determination method, and the display method from the information processing server 10. These pieces of information are stored in the information storage unit 250.

  The communication unit 210 also stores “main display area setting information” and “sub display area setting information”, which are information relating to the settings of the main display area 50A and the sub display area 50B formed on the display unit 220, as information. Received from the processing server 10. The received “main display area setting information” and “sub display area setting information” are stored in the information storage unit 250.

  The communication unit 210 receives the instruction from the control unit 240 and notifies the information processing server 10 of the display state and the browsing state of the content.

  The display unit 220 displays the content in response to an instruction from the display control unit 245.

  The input unit 230 receives various operations from the user of the terminal 20 and notifies the control unit 240 of the received content. For example, the input unit 230 receives a screen scroll operation from the user.

  The control unit 240 controls each function of the terminal 20. Further, the control unit 240 controls an application operating on the terminal 20.

  The determination unit 241 refers to the information storage unit 250 and specifies a browsing determination method for each content. The determination unit 241 determines whether each content has been browsed using the specified browsing determination method, and causes the information storage unit 250 to store the result of the determination.

  The display control unit 245 specifies the content to be displayed with reference to the information storage unit 250, the display order of the content, and the display method. The display control unit 245 controls the display unit 220 to display the specified content according to the display order and the display method.

  The display control unit 245 acquires the display state of the content from the display unit 220 and causes the information storage unit 250 to store it.

  The display control unit 245 instructs the communication unit 210 to notify the information processing server 10 of the display state and the browsing state of the content stored in the information storage unit 250.

  The display control unit 245 receives a notification about an operation received from the user of the terminal 20 from the input unit 230, and instructs the display unit 220 to change the display according to the operation.

  For example, when a scroll operation is received, the display control unit 245 instructs the display unit 220 to scroll the screen.

  The display control unit 245 instructs the display unit 220 to form the main display area 50A and the sub display area 50B based on “main display area setting information” and “sub display area setting information”. The display control unit 245 may form the main display area 50A and the sub display area 50B in response to the appearance of the content to be displayed in the sub display area 50B.

  The display control unit 245 refers to the information storage unit 250 and checks whether the content is being browsed. When the content is not viewed, the display control unit 245 executes display control according to the content display method when the content is not displayed from the main display area 50A due to an operation such as scrolling. When the content display method is set to “main display area and sub display area”, the display control unit 245 instructs the display unit 220 to display the content in the sub display area 50B.

  At this time, the display control unit 245 adjusts the display size of the content from the display size set in the main display area setting information to the display size set in the sub display area setting information, and displays the content. Then, the display unit 220 is instructed. As a result, the display size of the content is adjusted according to the sub-display area setting information and displayed. That is, the content is displayed in a different display form. The content may be reduced and displayed in the sub display area 50B, or may be displayed as a thumbnail.

  The display control unit 245 instructs the display unit 220 to control the display of the sub display area 50B based on the sub display area setting information.

  For example, when the number of contents displayed in the sub display area 50B reaches the maximum value of the number of displayable contents and there is no space for newly displaying the content, the display control unit 245 sets the sub display area 50B. The display unit 220 may be instructed not to display the oldest content being displayed.

  The display control unit 245 may instruct the display unit 220 to adjust the display size of the content displayed in the sub display area 50B with reference to the size set in the sub display area setting information. Good.

  The display control unit 245 may instruct the display unit 220 to adjust the size of the sub display area 50B.

  The display control unit 245 may instruct the display unit 220 to enlarge the sub display area 50B based on the sub display area setting information. For example, the display control unit 245 may enlarge the sub-display area 50B and instruct the content to be displayed in its original size or in an enlarged size without being reduced. In this case, the content is displayed in the sub display area 50B in the same size as that displayed in the main display area 50A, but unlike the case where the content is displayed in the main display area 50A, a part of the display unit 220 is displayed. Fixedly displayed. That is, the content is displayed in a different display mode.

  Note that the sub-display area 50B may be referred to as a fixed area because the content displayed by an operation such as scrolling on the input unit 230 is not changed. Further, in this case, the main display area 50A may be referred to as a change area because the content displayed by an operation such as scrolling on the input unit 230 is changed.

  The determination unit 241 determines whether the content displayed in the sub-display area 50B has been browsed. The browsing determination method for the content displayed in the sub display area 50B may be the same as the content displayed in the main display area 50A, or a different browsing determination method may be used. When a different browsing judgment method is used, the information processing server 10 notifies the browsing judgment method used in each display area 50.

  The information storage unit 250 stores the content received from the information processing server 10, the display order of the content, a browsing determination method, a display method, and the like. Further, the information storage unit 250 stores the display area setting information received from the information processing server 10. The information storage unit 250 refers to various stored information in response to inquiries from the determination unit 241, the display control unit 245, and the like.

  The information storage unit 250 receives a notification of the display state and the number of times of display of the content from the display control unit 245, and stores the notified information. The information storage unit 250 receives the notification of the browsing result determined by the determination unit 241 and stores the notified information.

<Operation procedure>
An operation procedure according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of an operation sequence according to the first embodiment.

  In step S901, upon receiving an instruction from the control unit 120 of the terminal 20A, the communication unit 210 transmits a content distribution request. The distribution request includes the identifier of the user A who is the user of the terminal 20A.

  In step S902, when the communication unit 110 of the information processing server 10 receives the distribution request, the control unit 120 refers to the information storage unit 130 and determines the content to be distributed to the user A and the display order.

  In step S903, the communication unit 110 of the information processing server 10 receives the instruction from the control unit 120 and distributes the content to the terminal 20A. The content delivery message includes a display order of the content, a browsing determination method of each content, and a display method. Further, the setting information of the display area 50 may be included in the delivery message. The setting information of the display area 50 may be notified from the information processing server 10 to the terminal 20A before content distribution. The setting information of the display area 50 includes the setting information of the main display area 50A and the setting information of the sub display area 50B.

  In step S904, when the communication unit 210 of the terminal 20A receives the content, the display order of the content, the browsing determination method of each content, and the display method, the display control unit 245 displays the content on the display unit 220 according to the display order of the content. Let it. The content is displayed according to the setting information of the main display area 50A. The determination unit 241 determines whether the displayed content has been viewed. The display control unit 245 performs display control based on the determination result of the determination unit 241. Specifically, the display control unit 245 causes the display unit 220 to display the content determined not to be browsed, based on the notified display method. For example, when the display method is set to “display in the main display area and the sub display area”, the display control unit 245 causes the content to be hidden from the main display area 50A (that is, the content is deleted). Is performed), the content is displayed in the sub-display area 50B. At this time, the content is displayed according to the setting information of the sub display area 50B.

  In step S905, the communication unit 210 of the terminal 20A transmits a content distribution request to the information processing server 10. The content distribution request includes the identifier of the user A, the display state of the content, and the browsing state.

  In step S906, when the communication unit 110 of the information processing server 10 receives the content distribution request, the control unit 120 notifies the information storage unit 130 of the display state and the browse state of the received content, and the content distribution state table 130B To update. The display state, the display count, and the browsing state of the content distribution state table 130B are updated.

  In step S907, the control unit 120 of the information processing server 10 determines content to be newly distributed to the terminal 20 of the user A based on the updated content distribution state table 130B and the like.

  In step S908, the communication unit 110 of the information processing server 10 distributes the content to the terminal 20 based on the instruction of the control unit 120. This procedure is the same as step S903, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flowchart according to the first embodiment. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of the display control in the terminal 20.

  In step S1001, the input unit 230 of the terminal 20 detects an operation on the terminal 20.

  In step S1002, the display control unit 245 determines whether there is any content that is not displayed from the main display area 50A due to the input operation. If there is content to be hidden, the process advances to step S1003. On the other hand, if there is no content to be hidden, the process ends.

  In step S1003, the determination unit 241 determines whether the content to be hidden is already viewed. The determining unit 241 determines whether or not the content to be hidden has been viewed based on a browsing determination method set for each content. If the content to be hidden has not been browsed, the determination unit 241 notifies the display control unit 245 of the fact.

  In step S1004, display control unit 245 determines whether or not the content to be hidden can be displayed in sub-display area 50B. Here, it is assumed that the content to be hidden is set as “main display area and sub display area” in the display method. If display is possible (step S1004: YES), the process proceeds to step S1005. On the other hand, if the display is not possible (NO in step S1004), the process proceeds to step S1006. The case where display is not possible is, for example, a case where the maximum number of displayable contents is displayed in the sub display area 50B. The maximum number of contents that can be displayed is determined by the setting information of the sub display area 50B.

  In step S1005, the display control unit 245 instructs the display unit 220 to display content that is hidden by operation in the sub-display area 50B, and the display unit 220 displays the content in the sub-display area 50B. The process ends. At this time, the content displayed in the sub display area 50B is displayed in a display size determined by the setting information of the sub display area 50B. The content may be displayed in the sub-display area 50B by a thumbnail display or the like.

  In step S1006, the display control unit 245 selects one of the contents displayed in the sub-display area 50B and hides it. For example, the content displayed longest in the sub display area 50B may be selected.

<Screen display>
FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example (part 3) of the display of the terminal 20 according to the first embodiment. The method of displaying the content in the sub display area 50B will be described with reference to FIG.

  As described above, the display control unit 245 of the terminal 20 can reduce and display the content in the sub-display area 50B as shown in FIGS. In addition to displaying the content in a reduced size, the content may be displayed in the sub-display area 50B in the same size as that displayed in the main display area 50A, as shown in FIG.

  FIG. 11A shows a state in which the content 40B is displayed on the display unit 220 of the terminal 20 in the same size as that displayed in the main display area 50A.

  In response to the input unit 230 receiving an operation such as scrolling from the user, the display control unit 245 determines that the unviewed content 40B is to be displayed in the sub-display area 50B, and the display unit 220 50B is formed. The display unit 220 forms a part of the main display area 50A as a sub display area 50B. The display control unit 245 instructs the display unit 220 to display the content 40B in the formed sub-display area 50B without reducing it.

  Displaying in this manner increases the possibility that the content 40A will attract the user's attention of the terminal 20 as compared with the case where the content 40B is reduced and displayed in the sub-display area 50B. In this case, since a part of the screen is occupied by the specific content, the display control unit 245 displays the specific content in the sub-display area 50B when a predetermined time elapses from the display in the sub-display area 50B. It is preferable to hide the displayed content and return the entire area of the screen to the main display area 50A. Alternatively, when there is another content 40 (for example, content 40C) to be displayed in the sub display area 50B, the display control unit 245 may cause the sub display area 50B to display the content 40C instead of the content 40B. .

  FIG. 11B also shows an example in which the content is displayed in the sub-display area 50B without being reduced as in FIG. The display control unit 245 may enlarge the size of the sub display area 50B with reference to the display area setting information notified from the information processing server 10. In FIG. 11B, the content 40B and the content 40C are displayed in the sub display area 50B at the same size as that displayed in the main display area 50A. As shown in FIG. 11B, a plurality of contents 40 may be displayed in the sub-display area 50B without being reduced. As in the case of FIG. 11A, it is preferable that the content displayed in the sub-display area 50B be hidden after the content is displayed in the sub-display area 50B for a predetermined time.

  Which one of the display control methods shown in FIGS. 2 and 11 is applied, the terminal 20 may be executed based on an explicit instruction from the information processing server 10 or may be executed based on the display area setting information. The size of the area 50A and the sub-display area 50B and the size of the content displayed in each area may be determined.

  In the above description, a case has been described where the sub display area 50B, which is a display area that is fixedly displayed, is formed at the top of the screen of the terminal 20. Can be set in the area. The sub display area 50B can be set to a plurality of areas on the screen.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example (part 4) of the display of the terminal 20 according to the first embodiment. When the terminal 20 is a terminal having a larger screen than a smartphone, such as a PC, the display area 50 may be set as shown in FIG.

  In the example of FIG. 12, a main display area 50A is formed at the center of the screen, and sub display areas 50B are formed on both sides of the screen.

  When the content is displayed on the terminal 20 as in the first embodiment, even if the user changes the displayed content by an operation such as scrolling, a part of the content is continuously displayed in the sub-display area 50B. However, the user feels that the content remains on the screen, which increases the possibility of attracting the user's attention.
