Specification

Embedded display method of web page screen

This effort relates to a method of embedding a Web page screen in another Web page screen, a screen acquisition server, and a program of the screen acquisition server.

Background art

Conventionally, in order to enrich the types of web screens (contents) provided to users at a certain web site (for example, a general portal site, hereinafter referred to as “screen display site”), other web sites (For example, a web site that provides train transfer information, hereinafter referred to as a “screen providing site”), the web screen is displayed as if the content is provided by the screen display site itself. In this case, the screen providing site not only provides the user with transfer guidance web content directly, but also changes its own content to other web sites such as screen display sites as appropriate, and pays or is free of charge. It also functions as a kind of ASP (Application Service Provider) provided by.

In this case, the screen providing site receives only the data of the outline layout (including only logos, etc.) of the web screen of the screen display site, and uses it as a template. ) Embed your own transfer guidance screen in and generate it. This embedded Web screen is transmitted to the user's browser from the Web server provided in the domain of the screen providing site every time an access request is made from the user. At first glance, the user cannot distinguish from the content provided by the screen display site, and has the impression that the website is rich in content. In this way, the added value of the screen display site can be increased. Screen provider sites sell content to other screen display sites. It can be a new source of revenue.

However, when the content is embedded in the screen providing site in such a way as to fit into the screen template provided by the screen displaying site and then transmitted to the user's browser, there are some problems. Was.

First, not all websites with excellent content could function as the content provider ASP described above. The reason is that to implement such a system, it was necessary to make significant changes to the existing system, and the time and cost were enormous. In addition, websites that have excellent content did not have to dare to change their systems drastically at the expense of selling content to other sites.

Second, the speed at which Web screens can be obtained from screen providers may be low, depending on the performance of communication lines and Web servers. In this case, even if the content has good content, the convenience for the user is deteriorated. Therefore, if possible, we want to save the embedded Web screen in the domain of the screen display site, but such a thing has not been realized.

Third, simply embedding the entire content of the screen-providing site in the web-screen layout frame of the screen-displaying site that contains only the logo, etc., has poor expression power. It would be desirable if content could be extracted more flexibly, such as by partially cutting out content from multiple web sites and embedding them in the appropriate screen areas of one's own web screen and providing it to the user. However, it was difficult to realize such flexible Web screen synthesis by the conventional method of synthesizing screens on the screen providing site side. In consideration of the above-mentioned problems, a screen-based copy of the contents of the screen providing site is stored and sold to the screen display site, and the screen display site freely cuts out the desired content from the copy. There is a solution that can be modified and used. However, this method usually requires a very high cost, because it purchases a database that includes all unused content. In addition, the screen providing site is reluctant to provide all other content than necessary to other sites. On the screen display site side, the necessary contents were cut out from the database, deformed as appropriate, and embedded into existing screen parts to add an application server to generate a new Web screen. System changes are required.

In view of the above-mentioned various problems, the present invention can be implemented easily and inexpensively with almost no changes to existing systems, and can flexibly embed a screen. The purpose is to provide a method for embedding an eb page screen in another web page screen, a screen acquisition server, and a program for the screen acquisition server.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Hereinafter, examples of embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. == = First Embodiment ===

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an overall configuration of a first embodiment of a method of embedding and displaying a Web page screen on another Web page screen according to the present invention. The screen display site 10 is a Web site that provides general users with town information Web pages (contents) such as restaurant guides via a network 40 such as the Internet. Screen-providing web site (hereinafter referred to as screen-providing site) 30 is a web site that provides weather forecast web pages 30a of various regions to general users via networks 44 such as the Internet. Site.

A screen acquisition server 20 is provided in the system of the screen display site 10. The display web page screen displayed on the web browser of the user terminal (hereinafter, the display screen) 10a has a screen embedding area for embedding a part of another web screen. The screen data obtained from the screen providing site 30 is appropriately modified and embedded in this area.

In the present embodiment, a part of the regional weather forecast screen provided by the screen providing site 30 is embedded in the restaurant information screen for each region provided by the screen displaying site 10. In this embodiment, a normal personal computer is assumed as the user terminal, but is limited to a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) or a mobile phone with an Internet function as long as it has a Web browser function. Then No.

The screen display site 10 is a three-layer system including a Web server 12, a database server 14, and a database 16. The database 16 stores data of a restaurant information screen provided to the user. The database server 14 defines, operates, and manages the files of the database 16, accepts a search or screen display request from a user, and returns a result.

The screen display site 10 receives a screen acquisition request from a user transmitted via a network 40 such as the Internet at the Web server 12 and transmits the requested screen data to the database server 1. 4 retrieves from database 16 and sends. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the user requests a restaurant information screen in Minato-ku, Tokyo as the display screen 10a.

The restaurant information screen 10a is provided with an area (screen embedding area) for displaying the weather forecast of the corresponding area on that day. The screen data embedded in the area for displaying the weather forecast of each area is generated based on the screen data (captured screen part) provided for free or paid by another website, the screen providing site 30R. This is screen data for embedding. The screen acquisition server ₂₀ acquires a captured screen portion from the screen providing site ₃₀ via the network 42 such as the Internet Network. In addition, in practice, similar to the screen provider site 30, we have formed alliances with multiple web sites that provide web screens to other web sites, and follow various rules for screen acquisition (details will be described later). By providing an agreement, various screens that cannot be provided by the user's own site 10 can be embedded in the screen provided by the screen display site 10 to the user to provide a high value-added Web screen for the user. Can be. Like the screen display site 10, the screen providing site 30 is a three-layer system composed of a web server 32, a data base server 34, and a database 36. The database 36 stores the data of the weather forecast screen of each area provided to the user. Have been. However, of the weather forecast screen data, the Web page data including the screen part to be imported to the screen display site 10 is accompanied by a range designation comment for specifying the captured screen part. .

The screen acquisition server 20 has a Web server 22, a control unit 24, and a file (hereinafter, various rules) 26 in which various rules are defined. The various rules 26 mainly include an ID conversion rule and a content transformation rule. The ID conversion rule is a conversion rule for specifying the captured screen portion of the screen providing site 30 based on the embedded screen ID. The content transformation rule is a rule for appropriately transforming the captured screen portion acquired from the screen providing site 30 so as to conform to the screen embedding area of the display screen 10a.

The control unit 24 of the screen acquisition server 20 is a program module that performs central processing of the present invention such as acquisition of an embedded screen image, correction, and deformation.

The screen acquisition server 20 acquires Web page data including the acquired screen part from the screen providing site 30 via the network 42 and, based on the content transformation rules of the various rules 26, a range designation comment tag. Cut out the part of the capture screen specified in, transform it to an appropriate screen size, and transform the contained character strings and URLs so that they match the contents of the display screen 10a, and if necessary, the screen Supplement H TML (Hyper Text Markup Language) tags for proper display.

The ID conversion rule is a conversion table that links the embedded screen ID of the screen display site 10 with the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of the web page data including the captured screen part of the screen provider site 30 in advance. I will decide. More specifically, the embedded screen ID determined by the screen display site is converted to the content ID determined by the screen acquisition server 20, and the URL of the web page data including the captured screen part corresponding to the content ID is converted. Alternatively, the web page data may be specified and acquired from the screen providing site 30. In addition, the content transformation rule is determined in advance so that each captured screen portion is appropriately displayed in each screen embedding area of the display screen 10a.

In this way, by executing the conversion process in which the various rules 26 of the screen acquisition server 20 are in the middle, the screen display site 10 can determine the embedded screen ID in a unique system, and provide the screen. Site 30 can define its own range of comment tags that specify the capture screen. Therefore, both the screen display site 10 and the screen providing site 30 do not require systematic changes when newly introducing this screen embedding service, and realize simple and inexpensive screen embedding services. can do.

Next, a basic procedure of the screen embedding process in the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a basic procedure of the screen embedding process in the present embodiment. As described above, the various rules 26 of the screen acquisition server are determined in advance by adjusting the ID system of both the screen display site 10 and the screen providing site 30.

First, the user sends an access request to the display screen 10a, which is a list of restaurant information in Minato-ku, Tokyo, via the network 40, and the web server 12 of the screen display site 10 is accessed by the user. This is accepted (step s100). Here, in the first embodiment, data (HTML format or the like) of the display screen 10a is transmitted to the user terminal and read into the browser of the user terminal.

The display screen 10a is provided with two screen embedding areas for displaying the weather forecast map of Tokyo and the fine weather mark of today's weather, and each screen embedding area has The screen embedding request tag including the embedding screen ID is described.

The screen embedding request tag includes the domain of the screen acquisition server 20, and the web browser of the user terminal transmits the embedding screen data to the screen acquisition server. Request, and the embedded screen ID is passed to the screen acquisition server 20 as an argument. Thus, the screen acquisition server 20 reads the embedded screen ID (step s200).

The screen embedding request to the screen acquisition server 20 from the Web browser of the user terminal is specifically made by requesting a script language program for embedding the embedding screen data in the display screen 10a. .

Next, the screen acquisition server 20 converts the embedded screen ID into a content (captured screen portion) ID based on the ID conversion rule among the various rules (step s202). Each content ID is associated with a URL in the screen providing site 30 where the content exists.

Here, for example, it is assumed that the argument specifying the area of Minato-ku, Tokyo on the display screen 10a is “Ar e a = l 003”. However, in the weather forecast content of the screen providing site 30, there is no local weather forecast called the weather in Minato-ku, Tokyo, so the weather forecast map of Tokyo is displayed instead. When the content ID indicating the weather map of Tokyo in the screen providing site 30 is “0001”, the read embedded screen ID “Area = 1003” is converted into “0001” based on the ID conversion rule, and Get the URL corresponding to the content ID "0001".

Next, the screen acquisition server 20 acquires Web page data including the captured screen portion corresponding to the content ID (steps s204, s300). Specifically, a URL corresponding to the content ID is specified, and a request to acquire the Web page data of the URL is made to the Web server 32 of the screen providing site 30. In the web page data, a range designation comment that specifies the content part (captured screen part) is added.

Alternatively, here, there is a top web page serving as a template on the screen providing site 30, and a range designation comment tag is added only to this top web page. It may be put. For example, a template using CGI (Common Gateway Interface) as an HTML generation program can be used as the upper Web page.

For example, if the range specification comment tag in this template describes the URL of the web page data including the weather forecast map of all the regions that are the capture screen part, all the local weather map screens will be obtained via this template be able to. By doing so, the number of the range specifying comment tags to be added on the screen providing site 30 can be reduced, so that the introduction of the screen embedding service becomes easier.

Next, in the screen acquisition server 20, the control unit 24 refers to the content transformation rules among the various rules 26, corrects and transforms the captured screen portion, and generates the embedded screen data ( Step s206). Here, as described above, the captured screen part specified by the range specification comment tag is cut out for the two captured screen parts (the Tokyo area weather chart and the clear weather mark), and the screen size is adjusted to an appropriate screen size. HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) tag for deforming and transforming the included character strings and URLs to match the contents of the display screen 10a, and for appropriately displaying the screen as necessary Supplement.

Actually, various captured screen portions can be acquired from a plurality of screen providing sites, appropriately modified, and embedded in the display screen 10a. As described above, in the present invention, a flexible layout display screen 10a can be generated and displayed by freely combining various capture screen portions.

Finally, the screen acquisition server 20 transmits the generated embedding screen data to the Web browser of the user terminal together with the script language program, thereby displaying the embedding screen data 10 10 a is displayed (step s208). Figure 3 shows an image of the restaurant information screen in Minato Ward, which is the display screen 10a, in which the weather map of Tokyo and the fine weather mark, which are the generated screen data for embedding, are embedded. .

As described above, according to the method of embedding the web page screen in another web page screen according to the present embodiment, the flexible layout display screen 10 a in which various embedding screen data are embedded is provided. Can be displayed on the user terminal. In addition, at that time, the screen display site 10 and the screen providing site 30 should be introduced simply and inexpensively by simply providing a new server that acts as a mediator of the screen embedding process called the screen acquisition server 20. Can be.

=== Second embodiment ===

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the overall configuration of a second embodiment of the method for embedding and displaying an existing Web page screen on another Web page screen according to the present invention. In the second embodiment, a cache server 60 is provided as a part of the screen acquisition server 20. Unlike the first embodiment, the screen acquisition server 20 does not acquire the screen when a display request of the display screen 10a is received from the user, but instead embeds the screen in all the screen embedding areas in advance. Generate data. For this purpose, the screen part (including Web page data) is acquired at any time from a screen providing site that has concluded a new content provision contract, and stored in the cache server 60. The control unit 24 of the screen acquisition server 20 takes out the captured screen portion stored in the cache server 60 as needed, corrects and deforms it, and generates it as embedded screen data.

According to the second embodiment of the method of embedding and displaying an existing web page screen in another web page screen according to the present invention, a cache server is provided in the screen acquisition server 20 and various capture screens are set in advance. Web page data including the part can be acquired from the screen provider site 30 and saved. The overall processing speed does not depend on the communication speed between the screen providing web site 30 and the screen acquisition server 20, and the speed of the processing in the screen acquisition server 20 and the screen transmission processing for embedding the screen in the user terminal Since it is determined only by the user, the embedded screen can be promptly displayed to the user.

Note that the system configuration other than the provision of the cache server, and the processing steps such as the step of generating the screen data for embedding and the step of embedding display on the user terminal are the same as those in the first embodiment, so detailed explanations are omitted. Omitted.

=== Third embodiment == =

In the third embodiment, a capture screen partial database (hereinafter, capture screen DB) 70 is provided as a part of the screen acquisition server 20.

The captured screen DB 70 stores and stores partial data of the captured screen acquired from the screen providing site 30 and is used for various purposes other than embedding the screen. The captured screen data may be modified / deformed as appropriate by the control unit of the screen acquisition server 20, generated as a screen image for embedding, and then accumulated in the captured screen DB 70. .

Screen data to be stored and stored may be appropriately modified into a form that is highly applicable to various uses, such as XML (extensible Markup Language) or a VXML language format that converts XML into speech, and then saved. .

According to the third embodiment of the method for embedding and displaying an existing web page screen in another web page screen according to the present invention, the captured screen portion acquired as the source of the embedding screen data is displayed on the display screen. In addition to embedding it on the web page screen, it can be used for various purposes, such as saving it as a thumbnail on the capture screen DB 70 or creating content for mobile phones. Also, the capture screen section After processing the minute data, it can be sold outside.

Note that the system configuration other than the provision of the capture screen DB 70 and the processing steps such as the step of generating the screen data for embedding and the step of embedding display on the user terminal are the same as those in the first embodiment. Detailed description is omitted.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the overall configuration of a fourth embodiment of a method for embedding and displaying an existing web page screen on another web page screen according to the present invention. In the fourth embodiment, a screen providing dedicated server 80 is provided in the screen providing site 30 (within the same domain).

The screen providing dedicated server 80 has a Web server 82 and a database server 84, and the database 36 shares the one in the conventional screen providing site 30.

Unlike the first embodiment, of the web screen data stored in the database 36, the range designation comment tag added to the web page data including the captured screen portion is added only by the screen providing dedicated server 80. Is done. The screen acquisition server 20 accesses the screen providing server 80 and acquires the Web page screen portion including the capture screen portion.

Further, preferably, the screen providing dedicated server 80 has a counter function for counting a screen data acquisition fee for each of a plurality of screen data acquisition destinations including the screen display site 10.

According to the fourth embodiment of the method of embedding and displaying an existing web page screen in another web page screen according to the present invention, the W of the screen providing dedicated server 80 accessed only by the screen acquisition server can be used. Since a range-specifying comment tag is added only to eb page data, a third party who has not formally signed a content provision contract with the screen provider Web site 30 can use the range-specifying comment tag without permission. Screen offer W e b It can be prevented that the screen portion is arbitrarily acquired from the normal server at the site 30. Also, if this screen providing server 80 is provided with a function to count the screen acquisition fee for each acquisition source, even if many content acquisition contracts have been signed This makes it easy to manage content acquisition on a pay-per-use basis.

The system configuration other than the screen providing dedicated server 80 provided at the screen providing site 30 and the processing steps such as the step of generating the screen image for embedding and the step of embedding display on the user terminal are described in the following. Since it is the same as the first embodiment, a detailed description is omitted.

== = Fifth Embodiment ===

Next, unlike the first embodiment, the screen acquisition server 20 receives the screen embedding request from the Web browser of the user terminal and the embedded screen ID included in the request via the Web server of the screen display site. Fifth to seventh embodiments will be described. In each of these embodiments, there is also a difference from the first embodiment in the step in which the generated embedded screen image is displayed by being embedded in the display screen 10a.

First, a fifth embodiment will be described. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an overall configuration of a fifth embodiment of a method for embedding and displaying an existing Web page screen on another Web page screen according to the present invention. In the fifth embodiment, the components are exactly the same as those in the first embodiment.

The fifth embodiment is applied when the web browser of the user terminal is a web browser such as a mobile phone that cannot use a script language program. In FIG. 7, in the first embodiment (FIG. 1), the screen embedding request from the Web browser of the user terminal is transmitted to the Web server 22 of the screen acquisition server 20. In the form, it is transmitted to the web server 12 of the screen display site. On the basis of this screen embedding request, the Web server 12 of the screen display site 10 issues a screen embedding request to the screen acquisition server 20 and passes the embedded screen ID. At this time, the Web server 12 issues a screen embedding request to the screen acquisition server 20 by using a CGI function that can add an additional function to the normal Web server.

The acquisition of the captured screen portion from the screen providing site 30 by the screen acquisition server 20 and the appropriate modification and deformation processing of the captured screen portion are exactly the same as those in the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.

The embedding screen data generated by being modified and deformed by the screen acquisition server 20 is transferred to the web server 12 of the screen display site unlike the first embodiment, and the embedded screen of the display screen 10a is different from the first embodiment. After being embedded in the area, it is sent to the Web browser of the user terminal.
