As described above, when the information sharing application AP is started, the update sharing item screen P1 is displayed on the screen of the user terminal device 100 as the initial screen that is started and first displayed. The update shared item screen P1 is displayed based on the update information transmitted from the application server 200. The update information is information indicating the updated contents for each shared item.

The update shared item screen P1 has a page structure corresponding to each shared item with an update. One page extracts and presents updated contents from the information contained in one shared item.
In the figure, an example is shown in which the updated shared item screen P1 is composed of three pages from the first page to the third page, corresponding to the case where there are three shared items with updates. .. In the following description, when a plurality of pages constituting the update shared item screen P1 are not particularly distinguished, they are simply described as pages.

Further, the page order on the update shared item screen P1 of the present embodiment follows the order of the latest update date and time for each updated shared item.
That is, in the example of the figure, among the first to third pages, the update date and time of the latest update contents for the shared item corresponding to the first page is the latest. In addition, the update date and time of the latest update contents for the shared items corresponding to the second page is the newest next to the first page. In addition, the update date and time of the latest update content for the shared item corresponding to the third page is the oldest.
The page order on the update shared item screen P1 may be set in the order of oldest update date and time, contrary to the above.
Further, the page order on the update shared item screen P1 is not limited to the update date and time. For example, the page order on the updated shared item screen P1 may be set based on the priority set corresponding to each shared item that has been updated. The page order on the update shared item screen P1 may be set randomly.

Then, when the update sharing item screen P1 is displayed for the first time, the first page of the three pages is displayed as the initial screen of the update sharing item screen P1.
With reference to the figure, an example of the aspect of page 1 on the update shared item screen P1 will be described.

The page structure of the update shared item screen P1 of the present embodiment is an embodiment in which the pages are sequentially arranged from left to right from the first page to the subsequent pages. The adjacent page area AR5 indicates that the pages are arranged one before or one after the currently displayed current page under such a page structure. The adjacent page area AR5-R arranged on the right side of the update content reflection area AR3 as in the first page indicates that there is a page one after the current page.

In the state where the first page is displayed as the current page, the user can know that the next page exists by arranging the adjacent page area AR5-R. When the user wants to display the second page, which is the next page, the user swipes the currently displayed first page to the left. By swiping to the left, the first page moves to the left toward the outside of the screen, and instead the second page is displayed with the image moving from the right side outside the screen. ..

By looking at the displayed second page, the user can grasp that the shared item with the title "Izu Travel" has been deleted. Since it is not possible to update the deleted shared item as in page 2, the reaction operation area AR31 may be disabled. Regarding the reaction operation area AR31 that cannot be operated, it may be indicated that the operation is not possible by an aspect such as gray out.

Further, in the page number area AR1 of the second page, "2/3" is displayed, which indicates that the current page is the second page out of all three pages.
Further, on the second page, adjacent page areas AR5-L and AR5-R are arranged on the left and right sides of the update content reflection area AR3 as the adjacent page area AR5. By arranging the adjacent page areas AR5-L and AR5-R on the second page in this way, the user can also use the first page before the second page, which is the current page, and the next page. You can see that there are 3 pages.

For example, when the user wants to return to the first page, which is the previous page, the user swipes to the right on the currently displayed second page. By swiping to the right, the second page moves to the right toward the outside of the screen, and instead the first page is displayed with the image moving from the left side outside the screen. ..

Further, when the user wants to display the next third page, he / she swipes the currently displayed second page to the left. By swiping to the left, the second page moves to the left toward the outside of the screen, and instead the third page is displayed with the image moving from the left side on the right side of the screen. ..

For example, the user performs an operation to display the third page, and by looking at the displayed third page, the content updated by the partner in the shared item of the title "Camping in the mountains with friends" can be grasped. Can be done.
Further, although not shown in the figure, for example, it is possible to move the display of the update content reflection area AR3 to the lower side by performing an operation of scrolling the update content reflection area AR3 on the third page upward. can. Then, the reaction operation area AR31 arranged below the update content reflection area AR3 is displayed, and a comment in the shared item of "camping in the mountains with friends" can be added by operating the reaction operation area AR31.

Further, in the page number area AR1 of the third page, "3/3" is displayed, which indicates that the third page is the last page. Further, on the second page, the adjacent page area AR5-L is arranged on the left side of the updated content reflection area AR3, but the adjacent page area AR5-R is not arranged on the right side of the updated content reflection area AR3. Such a display also indicates that the currently displayed third page is the last page.
On the third page displayed in such a mode, page transition by swiping to the left is not possible, but it is possible to return to the display of the second page by swiping to the right. ing.
It should be noted that, for example, by swiping to the left, the first page may be displayed so that the page transitions are cyclically performed.

Further, even when any of the first page, the second page, and the third page is displayed, if the operation for the close button area AR4 is performed, the display of the update shared item screen P1 is terminated. For example, the display transitions to the shared item list screen.
Further, while the page is displayed, it may be possible to perform an operation for instructing a transition to the display of the shared item detail screen corresponding to the current page. The operation for instructing the transition to the display of the shared item detail screen may be, for example, a tap operation for the update content reflection area AR3.

With reference to the flowchart of FIG. 7, an example of a processing procedure executed by the user terminal device 100 and the application server 200 in relation to the display of the update shared item screen P1 will be described. As described above, the information sharing application AP of the present embodiment displays the update sharing item screen P1 as the first application screen (initial screen) after startup. The figure shows an example of a processing procedure that is started when the information sharing application AP is started.

Step S101: When using the information sharing application AP, the user performs an operation to activate the information sharing application AP on the user terminal device 100. In the user terminal device 100, the control unit 102 activates the information sharing application AP.

Step S102: The function of the application corresponding processing unit 121 in the control unit 102 becomes effective in response to the activation of the information sharing application AP. In the application correspondence processing unit 121, the display control unit 1211 transmits an update shared item request to the application server 200 for displaying the update shared item screen P1 as the initial screen.
The update shared item request is a command for requesting data necessary for displaying the update shared item screen P1. The update sharing item request includes the user ID of the user registered corresponding to the activated information sharing application AP. Instead of the user ID, for example, an application ID uniquely indicating the activated information sharing application AP may be included in the update sharing item request. Since the application server 200 manages the user ID and the application ID in a one-to-one correspondence with each other in the user information, for example, the user of the information sharing application AP can be uniquely identified by the application ID.

Step S103: In response to the transmission of the update shared item request in step S102, the application server 200 transmits the update shared item page data. The display control unit 1211 uses the update shared item page data received from the application server 200 to generate the update shared item screen P1. The update shared item screen P1 generated here has a page structure as illustrated in FIG.

Step S104: The display control unit 1211 causes the display unit 105 to display the first page of the update sharing item screen P1 generated in step S103 as the initial screen of the information sharing application AP after startup.
Step S105: Further, the application corresponding processing unit 121 indicates that the update shared item on the first page has been read in response to the display of the first page of the update shared item screen P1 in step S104. Generate a flag.

Step S106: Whether or not the reaction operation reception unit 1212 has performed a reaction operation on the displayed page while any one of the pages constituting the update shared item screen P1 is displayed. Judgment about. Specifically, for example, as described above, the reaction operation is an operation for adding a comment to the reaction operation area AR31 and an operation for indicating the intention of understanding for the consent button BT1.
Step S107: When the reaction operation is performed, the reaction operation reception unit 1212 transmits the reaction operation information corresponding to the reaction operation performed by the user to the application server 200. The reaction operation information includes information for notifying the understanding when the operation of indicating the intention of understanding to the understanding button BT1 is performed as the reaction operation. Further, the reaction operation information includes the comment input by the operation when the operation for adding a comment is performed as the reaction operation.

Step S108: Further, when it is determined in step S106 that there is no reaction operation, or after the process of step S107, the following process is executed. That is, the display control unit 1211 performs an operation for migrating to another page (other page migration operation) while any one of the pages constituting the update shared item screen P1 is displayed. Determine if it was done. In the other page transition operation, the transition to the previous page of the current page is a swipe operation to the right with respect to the current page, and the transition to the next page after the current page is to the left with respect to the current page. Swipe operation.
Step S109: When the other page migration operation is performed, the display control unit 1211 displays the other page designated by the other page migration operation as the current page instead of the display of the current page so far.

Step S110: In response to the fact that another page is newly displayed as the current page by step S109, the application correspondence processing unit 121 has read the newly displayed current page after the start of the information sharing application AP this time. Determine if the flag has been generated.
Step S111: If the read flag has not been generated, the application correspondence processing unit 121 generates a read flag indicating that the update shared item of the current page has been read.

Step S112: When it is determined in step S108 that there is no other page transition operation, when it is determined in step S110 that the read flag has been generated, or after the processing in step S111, display control is performed. Unit 1211 determines whether or not an operation for ending the display of the update shared item screen P1 (update shared item screen end operation) has been performed.
If it is determined that the update shared item screen end operation is not performed, the process is returned to step S106.

Step S113: When it is determined in step S112 that the update shared item screen end operation is not performed, the display control unit 1211 ends the display of the update shared item screen, for example, the shared item list screen P2 (FIG. 2). Display.
Step S114: Further, the application corresponding processing unit 121 applies the read information including the read flag for each page generated in step S105 or step S111 after the update shared item screen P1 is displayed in step S104. Send to server 200.

Subsequently, with reference to the figure, an example of a processing procedure executed by the application server 200 in response to the reception of the update shared item request will be described.
Step S201: In the application server 200, the update information transmission unit 221 is waiting for the update shared item request transmitted from the user terminal device 100 to be received.

Step S202: When the update shared item request is received, the update information transmission unit 221 identifies an unread shared item.
The unread shared item is a shared item that is updated by another user who is a partner among the shared items supported by the user of the user terminal device 100 that is the source of the update shared item request, and the user about the updated content. Is an unread shared item.
In order to specify the shared item, the update information transmission unit 221 searches the shared information storage unit 232 for the shared item information in which the user ID included in the received update shared item request is stored in the area of the corresponding user ID. .. The update information transmission unit 221 refers to the update history information and the read history information for each of the searched shared item information, and among the searched shared item information, the content updated by the user as a partner is used by the user. Selects unread shared item information. For example, among the update data shown in the update history information, the shared item information whose update date and time is later than the user's last read date and time indicated by the read history information is the shared item that the user has not read about the update content. Extracted as information. The shared item information selected in this way is the specific result of the unread shared item.

Step S203: The update information transmission unit 221 generates page data (page data) on the update shared item screen for each shared item information selected as a specific result of the unread shared item in step S202. A shared item ID indicating a corresponding shared item is added to the generated page data.
Step S204: The update information transmission unit 221 generates data (update shared item screen data) for displaying the update shared item screen P1 by using the page data generated in step S203. The update information transmission unit 221 transmits the generated update shared item screen data to the user terminal device 100.

Next, an example of the processing procedure executed by the application server 200 in response to the reception of the reaction operation information will be described.
Step S211: In the application server 200, the update information transmission unit 221 is waiting for the reaction operation information transmitted from the user terminal device 100 to be received.

Step S212: When the reaction operation information is received, the shared item update unit 222 updates the shared item to which the received reaction operation information corresponds. That is, the update information transmission unit 221 updates the corresponding shared item so that the received reaction operation information is reflected.
For this purpose, the shared item updating unit 222 searches for the shared item information corresponding to the received reaction operation information from the shared information storage unit 232. The reaction operation information includes a shared item ID indicating a shared item corresponding to the page of the updated shared item screen P1 on which the operation is performed.

Next, an example of a processing procedure executed by the application server 200 in response to the reception of read information will be described.
Step S221: In the application server 200, the update information transmission unit 221 is waiting for the read information transmitted from the user terminal device 100 to be received.

Step S222: When the read information is received, the shared item update unit 222 updates the read history information in the shared item to which the received read information corresponds. For this purpose, the shared item updating unit 222 searches for the shared item information corresponding to the received read information from the shared information storage unit 232. The read information includes a shared item ID indicating a shared item corresponding to the page of the updated shared item screen P1 on which the operation has been performed. The search for the shared item information corresponding to the received read information is performed using the shared item ID included in the reaction operation information.
The shared item update unit 222 updates the read history information stored in the searched shared item information so that the received read information is reflected.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the information sharing application AP is started by the user terminal device 100, the update sharing item screen P1 is displayed as the initial screen. The update shared item screen P1 is a screen showing the updated contents of the shared item created for each item to be shared between the users in the partner relationship.
By starting the information sharing application AP and displaying such an updated shared item screen P1 first, the user can first grasp that there is a shared item updated by the user as the partner of the other party. It will be possible.
Further, the update shared item screen P1 has a page structure composed of pages showing update contents for each shared item. For example, on the update shared item screen P1, first, a list structure is used to present the list items of the shared items that have been updated, and then the updated shared items are selected according to the operation of selecting the shared items from the list. It is also possible to display the page of. However, in the case of such a list structure, the user is likely to be aware that the update has been confirmed by displaying the screen on which the list is presented. In this case, the user may tend to neglect to confirm the specific update content.
On the other hand, in the present embodiment, since the update shared item screen P1 has a page structure, for example, one page in a plurality of updated shared items is displayed from the beginning. Therefore, the user can first confirm the updated content for one shared item without performing the operation of selecting the updated shared item from the list. After that, the page can be changed by swiping in the left-right direction, so that the user can easily check the updated contents of the next shared item. As described above, in the present embodiment, in the application for sharing information among a plurality of users, the operation procedure for confirming the updated contents of the shared information is simplified.

Further, in the present embodiment, the reaction operation area AR31 is arranged on the page of the update shared item screen P1. As a result, the user who has confirmed the updated content by looking at the page of the update shared item screen P1 can immediately show a reaction (response) regarding the update to the user as a partner. That is, it is not necessary to shift to the corresponding shared item detail screen P3 in order to show the reaction regarding the update to the user as a partner.

Further, in the present embodiment, the application server 200 manages the read history (step S222). Then, when the application server 200 transmits the updated shared item screen data to the user terminal device 100, the user extracts an unread shared item from the updated shared items (step S202). As a result, depending on the update shared item screen P1 displayed on the user terminal device 100, the user can present only the page of the shared item corresponding to the unread shared item about the updated content to the user.

In the process of FIG. 7, the application server 200 generates the update shared item screen data corresponding to the page structure and sends it to the user terminal device 100, so that the user terminal device 100 updates and shared item screens based on the page structure. P1 is displayed.
However, for example, the application server 200 may transmit the updated content data for each shared item that has been updated to the user terminal device 100. Then, the update shared item screen P1 of the page structure may be displayed by using the update content data for each shared item received by the user terminal device 100.

A program for realizing the above-mentioned function as the user terminal device 100 or the application server 200 is recorded on a computer-readable recording medium, and the program recorded on the recording medium is read and executed by the computer system. As a result, the above-mentioned processing as the user terminal device 100 or the application server 200 may be performed. Here, "loading and executing a program recorded on a recording medium into a computer system" includes installing the program in the computer system. The term "computer system" as used herein is a shared item including hardware such as an OS and peripheral devices. Further, the "computer system" may include a plurality of computer devices connected via a network including a communication line such as the Internet, WAN, LAN, and a dedicated line. Further, the "computer-readable recording medium" refers to a portable medium such as a flexible disk, a magneto-optical disk, a ROM, or a CD-ROM, and a storage device such as a hard disk built in a computer system.
