If each of the two or more stored pages is a page of one of the two or more sites, the page also corresponds to a site identifier that identifies the site to which the page belongs. Good. Similarly, if each of the two or more stored pages is a page of one of the two or more apps, the page also corresponds to an app identifier that identifies the app to which the page belongs. You can.

The receiving unit 12 receives various types of information. The various types of information include, for example, input information.

The input information receiving unit 121 receives the input information from the user terminal 2. The input information is a voice uttered by the user or information composed of the voice. The information composed of voice may be waveform data indicating a waveform of voice, or text data indicating a character string obtained by recognizing the waveform data by voice. The character string includes the case where only one character is used. The input information from the user terminal 2 is preferably text data, but may be waveform data.

The input information receiving unit 121 usually receives the input information from the user terminal 2 in pairs with the user identifier that identifies the user of the user terminal 2. The user identifier may be, for example, an ID, an e-mail address, or a terminal identifier that identifies the user terminal 2. The terminal identifier is, for example, a MAC address, an IP address, or the like. The user identifier may be any information as long as it can identify the user.

It should be noted that receiving or transmitting to a pair includes the case where the input information received or transmitted has a user identifier. This also applies to sending and receiving pages, which will be described later.

The processing unit 13 performs various processes. The various processes are, for example, processes such as a product information determination unit 131, a focus movement unit 132, a purchase information acquisition unit 133, and a page generation unit 134. The various processes also include various discriminations described in the flowchart. Further, the processing unit 13 has, for example, a voice recognition function, and when the received input information is waveform data, the processing unit 13 is a process of voice recognition of the waveform data and acquisition of text data. Is preferable. The text data received or acquired in this way is given to the product information determination unit 131 and the purchase information acquisition unit 133 as input information.

Further, the processing unit 13 is, for example, one type higher than one or more product information possessed by one or more pages stored in the page storage unit 111, or input information received by the input information reception unit 121. It is preferable to obtain the product identifier group described later, the purchase information database described later, and the like by performing natural language processing on the information by, for example, machine learning, data mining, deep learning, or the like. It should be noted that such natural language processing is a known technique, and the description thereof will be omitted.

The processing unit 13 executes various processes for each one or more users by using the user identifier received in pairs with the input information. However, the various processes to be executed are common to all users, and the various processes for each user can be executed, for example, in parallel or in a time division manner. Therefore, in principle, the user identifier is described below. Is not mentioned, and various processes executed for one user will be described. This also applies to the operation of the transmission unit 14, which will be described later.

The product information determination unit 131 determines the product information corresponding to the input information. The product information determination unit 131 may determine the product information corresponding to the input information by, for example, searching all or a part of two or more pages stored in the page storage unit 111. A part is usually a page output by the user terminal 2, but other pages may be used.

For example, the product information determination unit 131 searches a page with the character string indicated by the input information, and obtains product information including a character string that matches, partially matches, or is considered to match the character string. It may be detected.

Alternatively, the product information determination unit 131 is, for example, one type of one or more product information possessed by one or more pages stored in the page storage unit 111, or one type of input information received by the input information reception unit 121. It holds a product identifier group that is a set of two or more product identifiers acquired from the above information, searches for the product identifier group with the character string indicated by the input information, and matches or partially matches the character string. A product identifier containing a string that matches or is so similar that it can be considered to match may be detected. The product identifier group may be held in advance by the purchase information acquisition unit 133, or may be acquired by the processing unit 13 by natural language processing.

Specifically, the product identifier group is composed of product identifiers such as "pen", "red pen", "blue pen", ..., And the user inputs "red pen, three" by voice. In this case, the product information determination unit 131 sets the product identifier group for each of the two character strings "red pen" and "three" included in the input information "red pen, three" which is the corresponding text data. Depending on the search and the detection of the former character string, the product information corresponding to the "red pen" may be acquired from the page storage unit 111.

The focus moving unit 132 moves the focus to the product information determined by the product information determining unit 131. In general, focus refers to a state in which one product information is selected from a page and various instructions, quantities, attribute values (for example, color, size, etc.) corresponding to the product information can be input. Say. Selecting one product information includes the case of selecting one UI component among the UI components corresponding to the one product information. Selecting one product information from a page and making it possible to input instructions and the like corresponding to the product information is, for example, "focusing on the product information". Further, moving the focus to the determined product information (hereinafter, may be referred to as focus movement) is to move the focus corresponding to one product information to another product information.

However, the focus in the form of this embodiment does not necessarily require that one product information is selected, and is widely understood. For example, even if a page containing the product information determined by the product information determination unit 131 is simply displayed and no product information on the page is selected, it can be said that the determined product information is in focus. .. Further, such a case may be referred to as, for example, "the page is in focus". The focus may be moved by moving the focus currently on one page to another page.

The focus may be applied to the entire product information (for example, the product identifier, the image, and the text), or a part thereof (for example, the product identifier). Further, the focus may be applied to a UI component group (for example, an input field and a purchase button) corresponding to the product information, or one of the UI components (for example, an input field) may be focused. Similarly, the focus may be moved to the whole or a part of another product information, a UI component group corresponding to the other product information, or one of the UI components.

In addition, focus movement is usually movement within a page, but movement between pages is also possible. The movement between pages is usually a movement between pages within one site or app, but it may be possible to move from one site or app page to another site or app page. One site or application may be, for example, a site or application for a smartphone of a certain EC store, and another site may be, for example, a site or application for a PC of the EC store. However, the type of site or app does not matter.

Specifically, the focus moving unit 132 holds, for example, focus information which is information indicating the current focus target. The focus information has a part identifier that identifies the UI part that is currently in focus. The focus information also usually has a page identifier that identifies the page containing the part that is currently in focus, and further identifies a site identifier that identifies the site that includes the page, or an app that includes the page. It may also have an app identifier.

Further, it is preferable that the focus information also includes, for example, position information indicating the current focus position on the page (hereinafter, may be referred to as focus position information). The focus position information may be transmitted from the user terminal 2, for example. Alternatively, the focus moving unit 132 may acquire the position information corresponding to the component identifier or the like possessed by the focus information from the component position information group held by the focus moving unit 132.

The focus moving unit 132 manages such focus information for each one or more users. The focus movement unit 132 can realize the movement of the focus on the user terminal 2 of each user by changing the focus information corresponding to the user identifier received in pairs with the input information.

When a UI component group corresponds to each of two or more product information, the focus moving unit 132 is a UI component that receives the next action for purchasing the product information determined by the product information determination unit 131, and is determined in advance. It is preferable to move the focus to the type of UI component. The next action to purchase is, for example, pressing a button, filling in a field, and so on. The type is a type of UI component as described above (for example, a button, a field, a purchase button, a detail button, an input field, a check box, etc.), and a predetermined type is, for example, one of the types. It is one. Such types may have an order. Order is the order in which the focus is moved to a set of actions for a purchase (eg, product selection, quantity entry, and purchase instruction) (eg, product information, input fields, and purchase). Button-like order).

It is preferable that the predetermined type of UI component is, for example, a UI component corresponding to information essential for purchasing a product or information having a high priority. The high priority may mean, for example, the highest priority or the higher priority than the threshold value. This type of UI component includes, but is not limited to, for example, an input field for inputting the quantity of the product to be purchased, a purchase button for inputting a purchase instruction, and the like. In the following, it is assumed that a predetermined type of UI component is an input field.

Further, in the focus moving unit 132, for example, the purchase information acquired by the purchase information acquisition unit 133, which will be described later, in the input field corresponding to the product information determined by the product information determination unit 131 using the input information. It is preferable to substitute and move the focus to the product information.

For example, when the input information is "red pen, three", the product information determination unit 131, after inputting the character string corresponding to the first half "red pen" in the input information, for example, a punctuation mark or the like. Triggered by the detection of a reading point, space, etc., the character string is compared with the retained product identifier group. As a result of the comparison, since the attribute name "red pen" corresponding to the character string is included in the product identifier group, the product information determination unit 131 acquires the attribute name "red pen" from the product identifier group and pages. The page stored in the storage unit 111 is searched, and the product information including the attribute name "red pen" is determined. On the other hand, the purchase information acquisition unit 133 compares the character string with the holding purchase information database by using the above punctuation as a trigger, but the character string corresponding to the character string is not included in the purchase information database. So you don't get anything at this point.

The product information determination unit 131 may, for example, compare the input character string with the product identifier group each time one character is newly input. The entered character string is, for example, "red" when "red" is input, "red" at the point where the next "pe" is input, and the next "n" is. The point entered is "red pen". Similarly, the purchase information acquisition unit 133 may, for example, compare the input character string with the purchase information database each time one character is newly input.

After that, in response to the input of the character string corresponding to "three" in the latter half, the product information determination unit 131 compares the character string with the holding product identifier group, but the character string is changed to the character string. Since the corresponding character string is not included in the product identifier group, nothing is acquired at this point. On the other hand, the purchase information acquisition unit 133 compares the character string with the purchase information database, and since the purchase information "3" corresponding to the character string is included in the purchase information database, the purchase information "3" To get. The focus moving unit 132 moves the focus to the product information thus determined or the input field corresponding to the product information, and automatically inputs the acquired purchase information "three" to the input field.

Further, when the product information determination unit 131 determines two or more product information, the focus moving unit 132 changes the product information to the position with the least movement from the current focus position among the determined two or more product information. It is preferable to move the focus. Specifically, each of the two or more product information has the product position information described above, and the focus moving unit 132 holds the focus information having the focus position information described above. When the product information determination unit 131 determines two or more product information, the focus moving unit 132 has, for example, two or more product information determined from the current focus position indicated by the held focus position information. Calculate the distance to each position indicated by the product position information. Then, the focus moving unit 132 may determine that the movement to the product information corresponding to the shortest distance among the calculated two or more distances is the least, and move the focus to the product information.

The focus moving unit 132 first calculates the distance as described above from the product information directly under the product information that is currently in focus, for example, in the page that includes the product information that is currently in focus. You may start and interrupt when you reach the product information at the bottom of the page. After that, the focus moving unit 132 restarts the calculation of the distance from the product information directly above the product information in which the focus is focused on the page, and when the product information at the top of the page is reached, the next page You may proceed to. On the next page, the focus moving unit 132 may start calculating the distance from the product information at the upper end and move to the previous page when reaching the lower end of the next page. In the previous page, the focus moving unit 132 may start the calculation of the distance from the product information at the lower end, and when reaching the upper end of the previous page, move to the next page of the next page. .. In this way, the focus moving unit 132 first moves the target of the distance calculation up and down from the current focus position in the page including the current focus position, and further expands the target to the upper and lower pages. Suitable. However, for example, the focus moving unit 132 moves the target of the distance calculation downward from the current focus position in the page including the current focus position, expands it to the next page, and then expands it to the next page. After reaching, the page may return to the page containing the current focus position, move upward from the current focus position in the page, expand to the previous page, and reach the first page. Further, the upper and lower parts in the above description regarding the calculation of the distance may be reversed or may be replaced with left and right.

The product information at the position with the least movement from the current focus position is usually from the focus among two or more product information in the page where the current focus exists (hereinafter, may be referred to as the current page). This is the product information with the closest distance.

The product information of a page other than the current page (hereinafter, may be referred to as another page) is considered to be farther from the focus than any product information in the current page. In addition, the product information of sites or apps other than the site or app that includes the current page (hereinafter, may be referred to as the current site or app) (hereinafter, may be referred to as other site or app) is the current product information. It is considered farther out of focus than any product information on the site or app.

For example, when the determined two or more product information includes only one product information in the current page, the focus moving unit 132 may set the product information as the focus moving destination. Further, in the focus moving unit 132, for example, when the determined two or more product information includes two or more product information in the current page, the position information of the focus information and the determined two or more product information Of these, the distance between the current focus and each product information can be calculated using the location information of each product information on the current page, and the product information corresponding to the shortest distance can be used as the focus movement destination. Suitable.

When the determined two or more product information does not include any product information in the current page and includes one or more product information in another page, the focus moving unit 132 may be, for example, one or more of the product information. You may use any of the product information of the above as the focus movement destination. Further, when the determined two or more product information does not include any product information of the current site or application and includes one or more product information of another site or application, the focus moving unit 132 is, for example, the said Any one or more product information may be the focus destination. In either case, the focus moving unit 132 may select any one or more of the product information, for example, randomly or by a predetermined algorithm. The predetermined algorithm may, for example, select the product information including the price information indicating the cheapest price or the highest price, or may select the price information stored at the beginning, and the procedure does not matter. ..

The purchase information acquisition unit 133 acquires purchase information. Purchase information is information used for purchasing a product. The purchase information is usually included in the input information received by the input information receiving unit 121, and the purchase information acquisition unit 133 acquires the purchase information from the received input information. Specifically, the purchase information acquisition unit 133 holds a purchase information database in which two or more purchase information such as "1", "2", "3", and so on are registered, and inputs the information. When "red pen, 3 bottles" is given as information, the purchase information database is searched and the purchase information "3 bottles" is acquired. The purchase information database may be held in advance by the purchase information acquisition unit 133, or may be acquired by the processing unit 13 by natural language processing.

When the product information determination unit 131 determines two or more product information, the page generation unit 134 generates a page composed of the two or more product information. The page generation unit 134 holds, for example, page generation information, and generates such a page using this page generation information. The page generation information is information for generating a page having two or more appropriate numbers of product information. The page generation information may be, for example, a function for calculating one or more types of information among the positions or sizes of each product information on the page, with the number of product information as a parameter. Alternatively, the page generation information may be a set of one or more layout information (layout information L2, layout L3, ...) Corresponding to the number (2,3, ...). The layout information Lm is one or more of a position information group consisting of m position information corresponding to m product information or a size information group consisting of m size information corresponding to m product information. It has a group of information. The size information is information indicating the size of the product information on the page.

After the page generation unit 134 generates such a page, even if the input information receiving unit 121 receives further input information, one product information is not determined yet, and the product information determination unit 131 has two or more products. When the information is determined, it is the product information included in the previously generated page, and the object of the determination is determined by repeating the process of generating a new page containing two or more product information determined by the product information determination unit 131. It is preferable to narrow down the product information that can be used.

Alternatively, the page generation unit 134 may generate a page composed of the product information when the product information determined by the product information determination unit 131 satisfies a predetermined condition. In this case, it is preferable that the focus moving unit 132 moves the focus to the product information when the product information determined by the product information determining unit 131 does not satisfy the above-mentioned predetermined conditions.

The predetermined condition may be, for example, a condition relating to the number of product information determined by the product information determination unit 131. The condition regarding the number is, for example, a condition that the number of product information determined by the product information determination unit 131 is 2 or more. Using this condition, when the product information determination unit 131 determines one product information, the focus moving unit 132 shifts the focus to the product information, and the product information determination unit 131 determines two or more product information. In this case, the page generation unit 134 generates a page composed of the two or more product information.

Alternatively, the predetermined condition may be, for example, a condition relating to the relationship between the product information determined by the product information determination unit 131 and the page to which the product information belongs. The condition related to the relationship with the page is, for example, a condition that the product information determined by the product information determination unit 131 is the product information existing over two or more pages. Using this condition, when the product information determination unit 131 determines one or more product information existing in one page, the focus moving unit 132 moves the focus to the one page and the product information determination unit 131. When determining two or more product information existing over two or more pages, the page generation unit 134 generates a page composed of the two or more product information.

Alternatively, the predetermined condition may be, for example, a condition relating to the relationship between the product information determined by the product information determination unit 131 and the current position information of the focus information. The condition related to the relationship with the current position information is, for example, a case where the screen is scrolled from the position indicated by the current position information possessed by the focus information to the position indicated by the product position information possessed by the product information determined by the product information determination unit 131. The condition is that the scroll amount is greater than or equal to the threshold value. According to this condition, when the product information determination unit 131 determines the product information far from the current focus position so as to require scrolling larger than the threshold value or more than the threshold value, the page generation unit 134 determines the product information from the product information. If not, the focus moving unit 132 moves the focus to the product information.

However, the predetermined condition may be, for example, that the amount of data on the page containing the determined product information is larger than the amount of data that can be displayed on one screen, and the product information determined by the product information determination unit 131 may be used. Any condition can be used as long as it is related to.

Further, the predetermined condition is contrary to the above correspondence, and when the product information determined by the product information determination unit 131 does not satisfy this, the page generation unit 134 generates a page composed of the product information and the product. When the product information determined by the information determination unit 131 satisfies this, the condition may be such that the focus moving unit 132 moves the focus to the product information.

If the page is received from the product information management device 1, the process proceeds to step S305, and if the page is not received, the process returns to step S301.

(Step S305) The user output unit 26 outputs the page received by the user reception unit 25 via an output device such as a display. As a result, the display displays a page containing product information corresponding to the input information.

In the flowchart of FIG. 3, the process starts when the power of the user terminal 2 is turned on or the program is started, and the process ends when the power is turned off or an interrupt for the end of the process occurs. However, the trigger for the start or end of processing does not matter.

Hereinafter, a specific operation example of the information system according to the present embodiment will be described. The following description can be changed in various ways and does not limit the present invention in any way. In addition, the explanations regarding the above-mentioned matters are omitted or simplified.

Two or more pages as shown in FIG. 4 are stored in the storage unit 11 of the product information management device 1. The data structure of the page is shown in FIG. The page has one or more product information, a UI component group, a component position information group, and the like. The product information includes a product identifier, an image, text, and product location information.

The initial page as shown in FIG. 5 is displayed on the display of the user terminal 2. FIG. 5 is an output example of the initial page. The initial page is the page that is displayed first after startup. This initial page is a page displayed on the display of the user terminal 2 as a result of the page P1 stored in the product information management device 1 being transmitted to the user terminal 2 in response to the activation of the user terminal 2.

The displayed initial page has a table format of 5 rows x 6 columns. In the first row of this table, the item names include the "product number" and "product name" corresponding to the stored product identifier, the "image" corresponding to the stored image, and the stored text. Six items, a corresponding "price" and a "quantity" and a "purchase button" corresponding to the stored UI parts group, are arranged.

In the second line, the product number "aaa", the product name "black pen", the image of the black pen aaa, the price "50 yen per piece", the input field for entering the quantity, and the purchase button are displayed. Have been placed. In the third line, the product number "bbbb", the product name "red pen", the image of the red pen bbb, the price "100 yen per piece", the input field for entering the quantity, and the purchase button are displayed. Have been placed. Furthermore, on the 4th line, the product number "ccc", the product name "red pen", the image of the red pen ccc, the price "3 pieces 200 yen", the input field for entering the quantity, and the purchase button are displayed. Have been placed. Similar six pieces of information are arranged on the fifth line.

On the initial page, the focus is not applied anywhere, and the focus moving unit 132 holds the focus information “Null”. "Null" is a flag meaning the absence of the information. The focus information "Null" indicates that nowhere is currently in focus.

Now, suppose that the user of the user terminal 2 inputs the "black pen" by voice. In the user terminal 2, the user reception unit 22 receives this via a microphone and acquires input information which is waveform data corresponding to the waveform. Further, the user reception unit 22 performs voice recognition using the waveform data, and acquires the input information "black pen" which is the text data indicating the result.

The product information determination unit 131 holds the product identifier “black pen aaa” of the determined product information.

In response to the determination of one product information in this way, the purchase information acquisition unit 133 attempts to acquire the purchase information from the received input information "black pen", but the received input information includes the purchase information. Nothing is acquired and nothing is acquired. Therefore, the focus moving unit 132 does not automatically input to the input field, moves the focus to the first product information which is the determined product information, and changes the focus information “Null” to “(x1, y1”. ) ”. The page transmission unit 141 transmits the page P1 including the product information whose focus has been moved in this way to the user terminal 2.

However, normally, it is not necessary to transmit the entire page P1 including the product information whose focus has been moved, and it is sufficient to transmit the difference from the page P1 including the product information before the focus movement. The difference may be, for example, the product information emphasized by, for example, enlargement, coloring, etc. as a result of the focus movement, or is arranged at the position indicated by the position information (x1, y1) in the displayed table. For example, an instruction to highlight the product information by enlarging, coloring, or the like may be used. This also applies to the following specific examples.

Further, the focus movement destination may be the position of the component position information (x21, y21) of the input field corresponding to the determined product information. Since the user's next action in this case is usually to press the quantity, it is preferable to move it to the position of the component position information (x11, y11) corresponding to the input field. When the input information does not include the purchase information indicating the quantity as in this example, the focus moving unit 132 may automatically input the initial value “1” in the input field, for example. The focus may be moved to the position of the part position information (x12, y12) of the purchase button corresponding to the determined product information.
