The second web page is, for example, a web page that exists on the portal site and is operated by the operator of the restaurant information providing server 100, and publishes the restaurant information published in the article of the first web page. .. When the second web page is a page on the portal site operated by the restaurant information providing server 100, the page is generated based on the information in the restaurant information database 31.

Each of these databases is used by being referred to each other as necessary in the restaurant information providing process by the restaurant information providing server 100 described later.

[Operation of restaurant information providing server]
Next, the operation of the restaurant information providing server 100 configured as described above will be described. The operation is executed by the cooperation between the hardware such as the CPU 11 and the communication unit 19 of the restaurant information providing server 100 and the software stored in the storage unit 18. In the following description, for convenience, the CPU 11 is the main operating body.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the flow of the restaurant information providing process by the restaurant information providing server 100.

As shown in the figure, the CPU 11 of the restaurant information providing server 100 first determines whether or not the bookmark registration request for the first web page has been received from the user terminal 200 (step 41).

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the first web page displayed on the user terminal 200.

As the first web page, the restaurant information providing server 100 is operated by, for example, an operator different from the operator of the restaurant information providing server 100, and various pages containing information on restaurants (restaurant report page). , A summary page, a page on another restaurant information providing portal site, etc.), a button (bookmark button 52) for accepting a bookmark registration request is installed. The figure is an example of a summary page about restaurants.

When the bookmark button 52 is pressed by the user terminal 200, a bookmark registration request for the first web page on which the bookmark button 52 is installed is transmitted to the restaurant information providing server 100.

The bookmark button 52 may be displayed in parallel with a social button (social icon) provided on each page by social media such as Facebook and Twitter.

Further, as shown in the figure, the restaurant information providing server 100 displays a number (“2510” in the figure) indicating the number of bookmarks registered on the first web page on the bookmark button 52. Control the bookmark button 52.

The number indicating the number of bookmarks registered is actually the number of bookmarks registered on the first web page and the bookmarks on the second web page on the portal site of the restaurant information providing server 100 associated with the number. Shows the total number with the number of registrations.

By indicating the number of bookmarks registered in this way, the restaurant information providing server 100 indicates the high level of general interest in the restaurant, which is the posted content, rather than the first web page itself, on the first web page. Can be shown via.

When it is determined that the bookmark registration request for the first web page has been received via the bookmark button 52 (Yes in step 41), the URL of the second web page is extracted from the first web page (step 42). .. As shown in FIG. 5, the extracted URL may be a URL displayed on the page (for example, as a part of the restaurant information posting column 53), or may be a character string as a hyperlink on the page. It may be the URL set for the URL.

When the URL is found (Yes), the CPU 11 uses the URL of the first web page (URL 51 in FIG. 5) and the URL of the second web page (URL included in the restaurant information posting column 53 in FIG. 5). Is stored (bookmark registration) in the bookmark information database 33 (step 48).

If the URL is not found (Yes), the CPU 11 extracts at least one of the restaurant name, telephone number, address, business hours, and regular holidays from the first Web page (step 44).

These pieces of information are also often posted relatively collectively in a certain place on the page, for example, as shown in the restaurant information posting column 53 of FIG. Therefore, the CPU 11 searches for character information such as "address", "phone number", "business hours", and "regular holiday", and when they are found, the character information immediately after them is used as the telephone number, business hours, and regular holidays. And, for example, the most recent (upper part) proper noun of the information is recognized as a restaurant name and extracted.

If character information such as "address", "telephone number", "business hours", and "regular holiday" cannot be extracted, the CPU 11 may use characters that may correspond to them, for example, a prefecture name if it is an address. Even if information is extracted using multiple numbers and a list of high phones for telephone numbers, two times and "~" between them for business hours, and characters indicating the day of the week for regular holidays. Good.

Further, the CPU 11 may search for information on the condition that at least two of the telephone number, the address, the business hours, and the regular holidays are posted within a predetermined distance or a predetermined number of words, and the searched information may be searched. Further, a proper noun posted within a predetermined distance range or a predetermined number of words may be extracted as a restaurant name.

Subsequently, the CPU 11 is operated by the restaurant information providing server 100 from the restaurant information database 31 with at least one of the extracted restaurant name, telephone number, address, business hours, and regular holidays as a search condition. 2 Search the web page (step 45).

When the second web page is found as a result of the above search (Yes in step 46), the CPU 11 associates the URL of the first web page (URL 51 in FIG. 5) with the URL of the second web page. It is stored (registered as a bookmark) in the bookmark information database 33.

At this time, the CPU 11 stores the bookmark registration information in the user information database 32 in association with the user ID of the user terminal 200.

The bookmark registration information can be viewed as a bookmark list on My Page provided by the portal site owned by each user of the user terminal 200, for example. That is, when the user of the user terminal 200 logs in to the portal site, the CPU 11 posts, for example, a list of page names of the first web page bookmarked by the bookmark button 52 on My Page.

On the other hand, if the second web page is not found in step 44, the CPU 11 selects the second web page based on the extracted restaurant name and at least one of the telephone number, address, business hours, and regular holidays. Generate (step 47).

That is, the CPU 11 adds the restaurant name information and at least one of the telephone number, address, business hours, and regular holidays as an entry in the restaurant information database 31. The URL of the newly created second web page is registered in association with the URL of the first web page (step 48).

Subsequently, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the user terminal 200 has received the display request of the first web page from the bookmark list (step 49).

When it is determined from the bookmark list that the display request for the first web page has been received (Yes), the CPU 11 acquires the URL of the second web page associated with the first web page from the bookmark information database 33. (Step 50).

Then, the CPU 11 transmits and displays the bookmark list page associated with each hyperlink to the first web page and the second web page to the user terminal 200 of the display request source (step 51).

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the bookmark list page.

As shown in the figure, in the bookmark list page, the first hyperlink information 61 corresponding to the URL of the first web page that has received the bookmark registration request from the user terminal 200 (for example, a page on which a hyperlink is set (for example, a page in which a hyperlink is set). In addition to posting the site) name and photo), the second hyperlink information 62 (for example, the page (site) name and photo) corresponding to the URL of the second web page linked to the first web page is posted. The URL.

The first hyperlink information 61 and the second hyperlink information 62 are posted in a display form so that the association between the first hyperlink information 61 and the second hyperlink information 62 can be understood. For example, in the figure, a plurality of second hyperlink information 62 is branched from the first hyperlink information 61.

In the example of the figure, as described above, the first web page is a so-called summary page related to restaurants, and the second web page is each of a plurality of restaurants collectively introduced in the first web page. It is a restaurant information page of.

Further, in the bookmark list page, when both the first web page and the second web page associated with the first web page are bookmarked in the bookmark information database 33, the restaurant information providing server 100 said both. An icon 63 indicating that is bookmarked is displayed together with the second hyperring information 62.

As a result, the restaurant information providing server 100 can notify that, for example, when a so-called summary page related to a restaurant is bookmarked and the page of each restaurant containing the information is also bookmarked. The user can be notified by the icon.

[Summary]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, the restaurant information providing server 100 may guide the user to another web page on which information related to the posted content of the web page bookmarked by the user is posted. it can.

[Modification example]
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

In the above-described embodiment, the first web page and the second web page have been described as having different operators, but the operators of both web pages may be the same. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the second web page has been described as a restaurant information page on the portal site operated on the restaurant information providing server 100, but a restaurant information page operated by another operator or a restaurant information page or It may be a page containing articles about restaurants.

In the above-described embodiment, the mode in which the first hyperlink information and the second hyperlink information are associated and displayed is not limited to that shown in FIG. For example, the first hyperlink information and the second hyperlink information may be simply displayed side by side in a form that distinguishes them from other first hyperlink information, or the second hyperlink information may be displayed as a second hyperlink information. The hyperlink information is set to be expandable. For example, in the default state, the second hyperlink information is not displayed, and the user presses the expand button displayed near the first hyperlink information to operate the second hyperlink information. May be expanded and displayed in the vicinity.

In the above-described embodiment, when the URL is not found from the first web page, the restaurant information providing server 100 includes the restaurant name extracted from the first web page, and the telephone number, address, business hours, and regular holidays. The second web page was searched using at least one as a search condition. However, the restaurant information providing server 100 may search the second web page using only the restaurant name extracted from the first web page as a search condition. With this as well, for example, if a single restaurant does not have a branch office or the like, the second web page related to the restaurant can be searched with a high probability.

In the above-described embodiment, when the second web page is not found by the search based on the information extracted from the first web page, the restaurant information providing server 100 newly finds the second web page based on the extracted information. I created a web page and linked it to the first web page. However, if the restaurant information providing server 100 does not find the second web page by the above search, the restaurant information providing server 100 may generate bookmark information for the first web page without the above association. In this case, when the user terminal 200 accesses the bookmark list, the restaurant information providing server 100 preferentially gives the bookmark information of the first web page associated with the second web page on the list. You may post it.

However, the restaurant information providing server 100 executes the linking itself between the first web page and the second web page before the bookmark registration request from the user terminal 200 (regardless of the bookmark registration request). A database is prepared, and when a user terminal 200 requests bookmark registration of the first web page, bookmark information is generated together with the second web page linked to the first web page by referring to the above database. You may.

In the above embodiment, an example is shown in which the first web page is a so-called summary page of a restaurant, but the first web page does not have to be a summary page, for example, providing restaurant information regarding a single restaurant. It may be a page on the site or an article introducing restaurants.

In the above-described embodiment, the service facility is an example of a restaurant, but the service facility is not limited to the restaurant, for example, accommodation facilities such as hotels and inns, various sports facilities such as tennis, basketball, and golf, and karaoke. -The present invention is similarly applicable to various service facilities such as recreational facilities such as boring and treatment facilities such as massage and beauty treatment salons. Further, the present invention can be similarly applied to a web page containing information other than service facilities (for example, a person, a product, etc.).

Among the inventions described in the claims of the present application, the invention described as "information processing method" is such that at least one device such as a computer automatically performs each step by information processing by software. Yes, it is not something that humans do using devices such as computers. That is, the "information processing method" is an information processing method by computer software, not a method in which a human operates a calculation tool called a computer.
